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
Efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and nutraceutical supplementation in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a randomized controlled trial
Full text linkIntroductionNumerous scientific papers have compared different treatment options in the management of lateral epicondylitis. Our study evaluated the efficacy of focal extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) combined with an integrative nutraceutical treatment of hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamin C, and manganese, compared with single treatment in patients with lateral epicondylitis in terms of improvement of pain, functional capacity, muscle strength, and reduction of inflammation on ultrasound images.MethodsA single-center, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in a population of patients with lateral epicondylitis. Patients were enrolled and randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A, consisting of 15 patients who were treated with twenty sessions of therapeutic exercise and five focal ESWT sessions (one session every six days); Group B, consisting of 15 patients who performed twenty sessions of therapeutic exercise and took daily a dietary supplement consisting of Hyaluronic Acid 200 mg, Collagen 5,000 mg, Vitamin C 250 mg and Manganese 10 mg for thirty days; and Group C, consisting of 15 patients, who received a combined treatment of therapeutic exercise, focal ESWT and nutraceutical supplementation The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Scale (PRTEE) were administered during the first physiatric examination (T0), at 15 days after the start of treatment (T1), and at a 30-day follow-up (T2). In addition, muscle strength (Handgrip strength) was analyzed by means of a dynamometer, and common extensor tendon thickness (CET Thickness) by ultrasound examination.ResultsData analysis showed that NRS scale scores decreased significantly only in group B at T1 (P < 0.05), and in the three groups at T2 (P < 0.05). Grip strength increased significantly after 30 days only in group C (P < 0.05), while PRTEE scores and CET Thickness decreased significantly at T2 in the three groups (P < 0.05). The comparison among the various groups also showed that the Group C showed statistically significant improvements of function and grip strength at T2, compared with the other groups (P < 0.05).DiscussionOur study demonstrated that the combination of focal ESWT, therapeutic exercise, and nutraceutical supplementation, represent a viable therapeutic option for the management of lateral epicondylitis; likewise, the proposed treatments resulted in a synergistic effect for pain relief and functional recovery in the short term, providing a decrease in the inflammatory state and an increase in muscle strength
