Psychological consequences of over-medicalization in a pediatric patient with functional gastrointestinal disorder: A case report
No full textThe prevalence of Functional Disorders (FD) in
pediatric population is unknow; some studies show they
could constitute the 25-50% of all visits in pediatric
units (Malas et al 2017); for others, one out of three
access could be linked to somatoform symptoms
(Bujoreanu et al 2014). Most cases of FD show
neurological or gastrointestinal symptoms (Malas et al
2017). ROMA IV criteria are used for the diagnosis of
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGD), those can
coexist with other diseases (Hyams et al. 2016) and
psychiatric disorders, especially anxiety and mood
disorders (Bujoreanu et al 2014). Doctors treating these
conditions, may feel frustrated by not identifying
specific causes; in addition, the patient and his family
may feel underestimated, their compliance to treatment
might be compromised (Malas et al 2017)
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
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
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
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
The alien amphipod crustacean Dikerogammarus villosus in Lake Garda(N-Italy): the invasion continues.
No full textThe discovery of Dikerogammarus villosus, an amphipod crustacean from the Ponto-Caspian region, on the shores of Lake Garda and in other watercourses of northern Italy, is a worrying fact that deserves attention. In the littoral environment of this lake, D. villosus interacts with Echinogammarus stammeri, one of four indigenous gammarid species, which shares a similar microhabitat. According
to a previous study in 2003-2004, the invasive species had expanded throughout the shallow zone ofthe lake quite rapidly, particularly in the southern basin, competing with the indigenous gammarid species which it may even replace. In order to monitor the situation in time, this study was done in
2006 to investigate the distribution of the two gammarid species at various depths (1, 2, 5, 10 m) in
the littoral zone, and to verify the hypothesis suggested by previous work that E. stammeri is spatially segregated from D. villosus. The indigenous species was found to be mostly relegated to greater depths, thus reducing unfavourable interactions with the invader. It is a matter of particular concern that also D. villosus is moving deeper, with possible adverse effects resulting from niche overlaps
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
