Breastfeeding and eating habits of infants in the osredjeslovenska region
Get PDFDojenje in prehranjevanje z zdravju bolj naklonjenimi živili med dojenčki delujeta kot varovalni dejavnik, ki prinese koristi v obdobju otroštva in kasneje v življenju. Namen dela je predstaviti stanje na področju prehranjevanja dojenčkov. Pilotna longitudinalna študija je potekala leta 2009 in 2010 v osrednjeslovenski regiji, v vzorec je bilo zajetih 333 mater. Uporabljena je bila sledeča raziskovalna metodologija: osebno anketiranje (pet vprašalnikov v petih stikih), komparativna metoda, deskriptivna metoda in statistična analiza (SPSS). Ugotovili smo, da so v porodnišnici vzpostavljale dojenje skoraj vse matere, zatem je dojenje upadalo. V četrtem mesecu dojenčkove starosti so pričele matere v večji meri z dodajanjem mešane prehrane, kar je sicer v skladu s priporočili, se pa vrstni red dodajanja živil ni skladal z njimi. Matere smo lahko glede na prehranjevanje otrok razdelili v štiri skupine: tiste, ki svoje otroke v večji meri prehranjujejo manj zdravotiste, ki svoje otroke v večji meri prehranjujejo mešanotiste, ki svojim otrokom dodajajo manj dejavnikov zdravega in nezdravega prehranjevanjatiste, ki svoje otroke v večji meri prehranjujejo zdravo. Matere, ki so najkrajši čas dojile, so otroke prehranjevale manj zdravo. Rezultati kažejo, da se z višanjem starosti in z višanjem izobrazbe matere podaljšuje trajanje dojenja, povečuje se količina zdravih dejavnikov in znižuje količina nezdravih dejavnikov v prehranjevanju otroka. Kaže, da bi predvsem mlajše matere in tiste z nižjo stopnjo izobrazbe potrebovale prav posebno skrb glede dojenja ter prehranjevanja dojenčkov.Breastfeeding and feeding with healthier foods among babies have an effect of a protective factor that has benefits in the childhood period and also later in life. The purpose of this thesis is to present the state of the feeding of the babies. The experimental longitudinal study took place in the years 2009 and 2010 in the Osrednjeslovenska region and 333 mothers participated in it. We used the following research methodology: personal surveys (five questionnaires in five contacts), comparative method, descriptive method and statistical analysis (SPSS). We established that most of the mothers maintained breastfeeding in the maternity hospital, but after that breastfeeding decreased. The mothers started adding solid foods in the fourth month, which is in accordance with the recommendations, but the order of adding them is not. The mothers were distributed into four groups according to the feeding of their children: mothers that feed a less healthy diet to their children, mothers that feed a diverse diet to their children, mothers that feed neither healthy nor unhealthy diet to their children and mothers that feed their children healthy. The mothers, which were breastfeeding for the shortest time, feed their children the most unsuitably. The results show that if the mother is older and has a higher education, then the breastfeeding period is longer, the amount of healthy factors increases and the amount of harmful factors in the feeding of the child decreases. This indicates that the younger mothers and those with a lower level of education should need a special care regarding the breastfeeding and the feeding of the babies
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

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.
