    Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Fitness (Full Body) and EMS (Electromyostimulation) training on body composition.&#x0D; Material and Methods: A total of 128 volunteers, Fitness (72) and EMS (56), participated in the study. 26.6% of the participants are between&#x0D; the ages of 30 and below, 36.7% of them are between 31-40 years old, 28.9% of them are between 41-50 years old and 7.8% are over 50 years&#x0D; old. Participants exercising fitness and EMS (mihabody) trainings in the presence of expert personal trainers, two days a week, for a total&#x0D; of 4 weeks (8 training sessions). Body composition measurements of the participants were carried out by Bioelectric Impedance Analysis.&#x0D; “IBM SPSS version 21.0” was used for the statistical evaluation of the data. Whole body, leg, arm and trunk measurments, of the participants&#x0D; were taken prior to and after 4-week training. The data obtained were classified as pre-test and post-test respectively. First of all the pre&#x0D; and post test results of the total body, leg, arm and trunk were compared and to perform this comparison Paired Sample T-test was applied.&#x0D; Results: At the end of the study, in both training techniques there is avarage of 2.360 kg loss of total body fat between pre and post tests&#x0D; this can be considered meaningful with 95% reliability (p</jats:p

    Bu çalışmada, iki farklı grubun saldırganlık boyutu araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada geçerliği ve güvenirliği kanıtlanmış Saldırganlık Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunu, Ankara Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu öğrencileri (100 öğrenci) ile Ankara Üniversitesinin çeşitli Fakülte ve Yüksekokullarındaki öğrenciler (200 öğrenci) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya toplam 300 öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırma SPSS 13.0 istatistik paket programında analiz edilmiştir. Saldırganlık envanterine göre Ankara Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu öğrencileri, Ankara Üniversitesi’ nin çeşitli Fakülte ve Yüksekokullarındaki öğrencilere göre, “Yıkıcı Saldırgan” ve “Edilgen Saldırgan” dırlar. Ankara Üniversitesinin çeşitli Fakülte ve Yüksekokullarındaki öğrenciler ise Ankara Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu öğrencilerine göre “Atılgandırlar

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
