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
EFFECTIVENESS OF RED DRAGON FRUIT MEAT AND SKIN (HYLOCEREUS POLYRHIZUS) AGAINST BACTERIAL GROWTH STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (DIABETIC ULCER) IN VITRO
Full text linkAbstract: Diabetic foot is a major consequence of neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Foot ulcers in diabetics increase the risk of amputation or even death. One plant that is thought to have an antibacterial effect and is starting to be consumed by many Indonesians is dragon fruit. This study aims to determine the effect of red dragon fruit on the bacteria that cause diabetic ulcers. The hypothesis in this study is that there are differences in the inhibition of bacterial growth Staphylococcus aureus after administration of red dragon fruit with a concentration of 25%, 50%, 75% and 95%. This research was conducted using a one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD), namely red dragon fruit flesh and red dragon fruit skin with concentrations of 15%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 95% respectively. The positive control is amoxicillin, and the negative control is sterile aquadest. The research began on August 12 2019 to November 14 2019 at the Health Analyst Laboratory of the East Kalimantan Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The results of research on the concentration of inhibition on bacteria Staphylococcus aureus the highest inhibition zone was in red dragon fruit skin decoction with a concentration of 95%, namely 7 mm (medium inhibition). Decoction of red dragon fruit skin with a concentration of 95% has the highest inhibition zone against bacterial growthStaphylococcus aureus compared to boiled dragon fruit flesh.

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
The EFFECT OF ERGONOMIC EXERCISE ON CHANGES IN BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS IN DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS IN THE IN PATIENT ROOM OF DR. ABDUL RIVAI BERAU DISTRICT
Full text linkAbstract: : Physical activity utilizes and processes the body's calories in metabolism can help lower blood sugar levels. Ergonomic gymnastics is a well-tolerated physical activity in diabetes mellitus patients. Ergonomic exercise contributes to the utilization of body calories through physical activity to control blood sugar levels in the body. This study aims to determine the effect of ergonomic exercise on changes in blood sugar levels of Diabetes Mellitus patients in the Inpatient Room of RSUD dr. Abdul Rivai Berau District. This research is a type of correlational quantitative research by designquasy-experimentwith approachpre-post-test without control group design. 20 research samples were taken randomlyquota sampling in the inpatient room of dr. Abdul Rivai Berau District. Data analysis is done byIndependent t-test with a significance level of 0.05. Research results found sufferer Diabetes Mellitus at dr. Abdul Rivai was dominated by men (60.0%), aged 35 to 45 years (100.0%), and graduated from high school (50.0). The patient's blood sugar level before the intervention averaged 347.00 mg/dL (st. Dev = 44.73) and after the intervention averaged 271.00 mg/dL (st. Dev = 59.46). There is a significant effect of ergonomic exercise on changes in blood sugar levels in diabetic patients (sig 0.001; correlation coefficient 0.896) so that ergonomic exercise interventions can make a very strong contribution to changes in blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus in the inpatient room of RSUD dr. Abdul Rivai
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
Inovasi Buah Merah (Pandanus Conoideus) Sebagai Balutan Primer Dalam Mempertahankan Kelembaban Untuk Memperecepat Penyembuhan Luka Diabetik
Full text linkBuah merah (Pandanus conoideus) adalah buah yang hanya ditemukan didaerah Papua dan New Guenia, merupakan salah satu tanaman dari genus Pandanus yang memiliki banyak kandungan nutrisi penting yang baik untuk kesehatan, sehingga sangat baik untuk dikonsumsi dan sangat bermanfaat untuk penyembuhan berbagai penyakit. Kandungan nutrisi yang terdapat pada buah merah terdiri dari berbagai macam vitamin dan antioksidan antara lain karotenoid, mineral, dan vitamin E.Tulisan ini meru-pakan studi kasus perawatan luka diabetik pada pasien Tn. P (84 tahun) yang meng-gunakan salep buah merah sebagai balutan primer untuk mempertahankan kelem-baban. Perawatan luka pada studi kasus ini menggunakan metode TIME yaitu yaitu; tissue management (manajemen ja-ringan), infection or inflammation control (pengendalian infeksi), moisture balance (keseimbangan kelembaban), dan edge of wound (pinggiran luka). Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan sediaan buah merah dalam bentuk salep yang berbasis minyak lebih mempertahankan kelembaban kulit sehingga mempercepat penyembuhan luk
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
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
