Raising Awareness & Addressing Stigma: Developing communication to enhance youngsters' care uptake
No full textBackground: Many young gamblers are not aware of their need for help and of the different care options. Therefore, raising such awareness is imperative. Objective: The proposed project will develop and test communication campaigns that aim to enhance young people’s awareness of care and their needs for care, and address stigma. With these evidence-based campaigns and a theoretical model, we deliver concrete communication tools that can enhance uptake into care. Approach: We will use focus groups, co-creation workshops, experiments and a campaign implementation phase. In each subproject, we work closely with people with lived experience in the roles of advisors, co-creators, discussion partners, informants and implementation partners. Expected results: We will develop, test and implement evidence-based social media communication together with people from the target group. This will make care more accessible and enhance uptake into care for young people who experience gambling harms
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
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
Gambling advertising
No full textThis project focuses on marketing communication for (online) gambling. It will examine how much and what kind of marketing communication vulnerable groups in the Netherlands encounter, including minors, young adults, (ex)gambling addicts and people with low SES. Moreover, the project will provide insights into the consequences of gambling advertising for vulnerable groups. We will answer questions such as: ‘are vulnerable groups more often targeted by (online) gambling advertising than others?’ ‘does gambling become more accepted in society due to marketing communication?’ and ‘which types of gambling advertising most strongly influence gambling behavior?’ To answer these and other questions, we propose three studies that use an innovative combination of research methods. The insights from this project can be used to decide whether (further) regulation of gambling marketing communication is needed and to develop more effective treatment and prevention of gambling addiction
The impact of Finfluencer Videos on perceived financial self-efficacy, financial risk taking, and financial well-being.
No full textFinfluencers are popular influencers on social media who have built expertise in the financial domain. They are using their social media to give financial advice to their audience. Research on how these influencers impact on the financial decision-making of their followers is however scarce. This study aims to examine how finfluencer videos that are promoting trading versus explaining the risks related to trading (versus a control condition) are impacting upon followers’ perceived financial self-efficacy, financial risk taking, and financial well-being. The following research questions are proposed:
RQ1: What is the impact of finfluencer content on young adults’ perceived financial self-efficacy, financial risk taking, and financial well-being
