Data Related to Meta-analysis of up to 622,409 individuals identifies 40 novel smoking behaviour associated genetic loci
No full textHere we have included four sets of meta-analysis results: Meta-analysis of discovery and replication cohorts, combining genotyped Exome-chip and Axiom array content for (i) Smoking Initiation, (ii) Cigarettes per day, and (iii) Smoking Cessation, and (iv) meta-analysis of discovery cohorts for Pack Years.Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. We tested up to 235,116 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) on the exome-array for association with smoking initiation, cigarettes per day, pack-years, and smoking cessation in a fixed effects meta-analysis of up to 61 studies (up to 346,813 participants). SNV-trait associations with P < 5 × 10−8 in either analysis were taken forward for replication in up to 275,596 independent participants from UK Biobank. Lastly, a meta-analysis of the discovery and replication studies was performed. These novel loci will facilitate understanding the genetic aetiology of smoking behaviour and may lead to the identification of potential drug targets for smoking prevention and/or cessation.GSCAN; Consortium for Genetics of Smoking Behaviour; CHD Exome+ consortium.

STRATEGI PELATIHAN DAN PENGEMBANGAN SDM DALAM PENGOPERASIAN TEKNOLOGI X-RAY (GSCAN) DI BEACUKAI TANJUNG PRIOK
No full textPemeriksaan barang impor di Bea Cukai Tanjung Priok menghadapi tantangan besar dalam meningkatkan efisiensi sambil tetap menjaga tingkat keamanan. Teknologi X-Ray Gscan dihadirkan sebagai solusi untuk mempercepat proses pemeriksaan dengan menghasilkan gambar tiga dimensi (3D), yang memungkinkan deteksi barang tanpa perlu membuka kontainer. Namun, penerapannya terhambat oleh kekurangan sumber daya manusia yang terlatih, sehingga hanya 1 dari 10 unit Gscan yang dapat beroperasi, yang berujung pada perlambatan proses clearance. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hambatan dalam penggunaan Gscan serta merancang strategi pelatihan SDM guna meningkatkan efektivitas penggunaannya. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan Analisis Kebutuhan Pelatihan (Training Needs Analysis/TNA). Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen di Bea Cukai Tanjung Priok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kompetensi petugas sangat diperlukan untuk memaksimalkan pemanfaatan Gscan. Beberapa strategi pelatihan yang disarankan meliputi On-the-Job Training (OJT), simulasi analisis hasil pemindaian, serta evaluasi berkala keterampilan petugas. Pelatihan yang sistematis dapat mempercepat waktu pemeriksaan, mengurangi dwelling time, dan meningkatkan transparansi dalam proses kepabeanan. Kesimpulannya, optimalisasi Gscan tidak hanya bergantung pada teknologi, tetapi juga pada kesiapan SDM. Maka dari itu, penguatan program pelatihan menjadi langkah strategis dalam modernisasi sistem pemeriksaan barang impor di Bea Cukai
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
