ABSENTEEISM RELATED TO WORKPLACE FACTORS
Get PDFAbsentizem opredelimo kot bolniško odsotnost, ki podjetju predstavlja strošek, ki pa se mu ob pravilnih ukrepih lahko izogne oz. ga minimalizira. Večina podjetij v Sloveniji spremlja stopnjo absentizma, saj iz tega ugotavljajo aktualno dinamiko pogostosti.
V diplomski nalogi smo proučevali absentizem v povezavi z delovnimi mesti. Pri opredelitvi dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na absentizem smo izhajala iz Bilbanove (2012) opredelitve in se osredotočili oz. raziskali primernost psihosocialnih dejavnikov v podjetju XX. Raziskavo smo izpeljali s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, kjer je sodelovalo 281 delavcev podjetja XX. Pridobili smo podatke o mnenju zaposlenih glede ustreznosti psihosocialnih dejavnikov, ki so eden izmed vplivov na stopnjo absentizma (obseg dela, tempo dela, nadzor dela, socialna podpora in nezadovoljstvo z delom). Dobljene podatke iz različnih delovnih mest smo analizirali in rezultate primerjali z namenom ugotavljanja zadovoljstva s psihosocialnimi dejavniki. Sledili smo tudi morebitnim razlikam in odstopanjem med posameznimi delovnimi mesti, za katera smo izračunali tudi stopnjo absentizma.
Izračun stopnje absentizma je pokazal, da se stopnje absentizma razlikujejo glede na posamezno delovno mesto oz. oddelek. Podobno razvrstitev kot pri pojavu absentizma opažamo tudi pri psihosocialnih dejavnikih. Celovita analiza razkriva, da je najboljši oddelek Skladišče/logistika. Analiza anket je pokazala, da v podjetju praktično ni neupravičenega izkoriščanja bolniške odsotnosti. Prepoznali smo presenetljivo veliko stopnjo prisotnosti skritega absentizma (prezentizma), kar pomeni, da delavci hodijo v službo kljub zdravstvenim težavam. Pojav prezentizma je druga skrajnost, ki je prav tako škodljiva za organizacijo, saj se s tem neposredno povečuje absentizem in povzroča težje prepoznavne in prav tako visoke stroške dela.
Na podlagi ugotovitev smo podali mnenje in možne rešitve za izboljšanje delovnih pogojev in posledično zmanjšanje stopnje absentizma. Vlaganje v zdravje in zadovoljstvo delavcev je dolgoročno najboljša naložba za uspešno poslovanje.Absenteeism is defined as sick leave which represents costs for the company, but by introducing correct measures these can be avoided or minimised. Most companies in Slovenia follow their rate of absenteeism, since it represents the basis for determination of the current dynamics of its frequency.
In this diploma thesis, absenteeism is examined in relation to single jobs. When defining the factors which have an influence on absenteeism, the thesis follows the Bilban (2012) definition and concentrates on and researches the suitability of psychosocial factors in the company XX. The research was carried out by means of a survey questionnaire. 281 employees of the company XX participated in the survey. This way, the employees\u27 opinion on the suitability of psychosocial factors, which represent one of the effects on the rate of absenteeism, (work load, work pace, work control, social support and work dissatisfaction) was acquired. The data acquired on various jobs were analysed and the results were compared in order to establish the satisfaction with the psychosocial factors. Possible differences and deviations between single jobs were researched and the rate of absenteeism was also determined for them.
The calculation of the rate of absenteeism has shown differences between absenteeism rates of single jobs and departments. A similar ranking as in the occurrence of absenteeism has been observed in psychosocial factors. The all-round analysis has revealed that the department best rated is Warehouses/Logistics. The survey analysis shows that there is virtually no exploitation of sick leave in the company. On the contrary, a surprisingly high level of hidden absenteeism (presenteeism) has been recognised, which means that the employees go to work in spite of the health problems. The occurrence of presenteeism is another extreme which is just as harmful for the organisation, since it indirectly increases absenteeism and causes less recognisable and equally high labour costs.
Based on these findings, the thesis states an opinion and possible solutions for an improvement of work conditions and consequently a reduction of the rate of absenteeism. Any investment in employee health and satisfaction is a long-term investment in successful business operation

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
