Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Sabit ortodontik tedavi gören hastalarda probiyotik kullanımı sonrası diş eti oluğu sıvısında değişen sitokinler
Full text linkAbstract
Bu çalışmamızın amacı, sabit ortodontik tedavi gören hastalarda probiyotik kullanımının dişeti oluğu sıvısındaki IL-10 ve TNF-α seviyesine etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu çalışmaya yaşları 18 ile 44 arasında değişen ve sabit ortodontik tedavi endikasyonu olan 32 kadın, 28 erkek toplam 60 hasta dâhil edilmiştir. Kontrol ve çalışma grubu olarak ikiye ayrılan hastalardan, çalışma grubunda olanlara günde bir defa olmak üzere 15 gün boyunca probiyotik çiğneme tableti kullandırılırken, kontrol grubuna rutin ortodontik tedavi uygulanmıştır. Tedaviye başlanılan gün ve onu takip eden 21. günde olmak üzere her hastadan ikişer defa ve dört farklı bölge kanin dişlerinden dişeti oluğu sıvısı alınmıştır. Alınan örnekler -80 ̊ C de saklanmış ve ELİSA kiti ile IL-10 ve TNF-α seviyeleri ölçülmüştür. Gruplar arası farklılıklar one way ANOVA ve grup içi farklılıklar two way ANOVA testi ile değerlendirilmiş ve iki grup arasında fark olup olmadığı Tukey's multiple comparisons (çoklu değerlendirme) Post-Hoc testi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. İstatistiksel değerlendirmelerde önemlilik düzeyi olarak p ≤ 0.05 seviyesi esas alınmıştır. Tüm analizler GraphPad Prism 9.1.1 istatistik programı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Probiyotik tablet kullanmayan gruptaki hastaların T0'da belirlenen TNF-α değerleri; en düşük 12,4 pg/mL, en yüksek 66,9 pg/mL olarak ölçülmüştür. Probiyotik kullanan grupta yine T0'da ölçülen TNF-α değerleri en düşük 14,8 pg/mL, en yüksek ise 69 pg/mL olarak tespit edildi. Kontrol gurunda T21'de ölçülen TNF-α değerleri; en düşük 13,3 pg/mL ve en yüksek 40,4 pg/m iken, çalışma gurunda bu değerler en düşük 6,4 pg/mL ve en yüksek 26,3 pg/mL olarak kaydedildi. Kontrol grubunda IL-10 değerleri T0'da en düşük 13,5 pg/mL ve en yüksek 65,4 pg/mL olarak ölçülürken, çalışma grubunda bu değerler en düşük 12,2 pg/mL ve en yüksek 33,01 pg/mL olarak belirlendi. Öte yandan kontrol grubunda T21'de ölçülen IL-10 değerleri, en düşük 12,8 pg/mL ve en yüksek 91,4 pg/mL iken, bu değerler çalışma grubunda, en düşük 13,2 pg/mL ve en yüksek 71,2 pg/mL olarak kaydedilmiştir.

Erdemir, C. (2022). Changing Cytokines in Gingival Corrugation Fluid After Probiotic Use in Patients Receiving Fixed Orthodontic Treatment. Doctoral Thesis, Biruni University Graduate Education Institute, Istanbul. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of probiotic chewable tablets use on IL-10 and TNF-α levels in gingival crevicular fluid in sufferers present process constant orthodontic treatment. A total of 60 patients, 32 female and 28 male aged between 18 and 44 with fixed orthodontic treatment, participated in this study. Patients were divided into control and study groups, and the study group used probiotic chewable tablets once a day for 15 days, and the control group received routine orthodontic treatment. Gingival crevicular fluid was taken from each patient's canine teeth twice from four different areas on the day of treatment and on day 21st. The samples were stored at -80 ̊ C and IL-10 and TNF-α levels were measured by ELISA kit. Between-group differences were evaluated by one-way ANOVA test, and within-group differences were evaluated by two-way ANOVA test, and between-group differences were determined by Tukey's multiple comparison with Post-Hoc test. Based on this; values of p ≤0.05 were considered significant. All analyzes were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.1.1 software. At T0 the TNF-α value of patients who did not use probiotic tablets was 12.4 pg/ml at T0 and the highest was 66.9 pg/ml. In the using probiotics group, TNF-α values measured at T0 were found to be the lowest 14.8 pg/mL and the highest 69 pg/mL. TNF-α values were found at T21 in the control group were determined to be the lowest 13.3 pg/mL and the highest 40.4 pg/m. TNF-α values at T21 in the study group were determined as the lowest 6.4 pg/mL and the highest 26.3 pg/mL. The IL-10 values at T0 in the control group were determined as the lowest 13.5 pg/mL and the highest 65.4 pg/mL. The IL-10 values at T0 in the study group were determined the lowest 12.2 pg/mL and the highest 33,01 pg/mL. The IL-10 values at T21 in the control group were determined as the lowest 12.8 pg/mL and the highest 91.4 pg/mL. IL-10 values at T21 in the study group were determined as the lowest 13.2 pg/mL and the highest 71.2 pg/mL.Erdemir, C. (2022).

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
