Induced sputum is safe and well-tolerated for TB diagnosis in a resource-poor primary healthcare setting
Full text linkImproved tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics are required. Induced sputum sampling is superior to spontaneous sputum analysis for diagnosis of pulmonary TB. Therefore, we examined the applicability of induced sputum in primary health centers of the Peruvian TB program and studied the safety and tolerability of this procedure. We show that induced sputum is safe, inexpensive, and well-tolerated in a resource-limited environment. Widespread use of induced sputum at primary health centers can be implemented and may improve TB diagnosi
Leopoldo Gotuzzo e a constituição do MALG (1887-1986)
No full textThis research investigates the Pelotas painter, Leopoldo Gotuzzo, and the creation of the Art Museum Leopoldo Gotuzzo (MALG) by the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel). The aim of this research is to verify the intent and the participation of the artist in the creation of this institution, which carries his name. The time delimitation is from 1887 (Gotuzzo’s birth year) to 1986 (the year that marks the foundation of the MALG/UFPel). This study relied on written and iconographic sources from the museum’s collection, oral sources and documents preserved in the private collections of the ontributors.
This study is part of the field of History of Education and under the perspective of Cultural History. The analysis of the documents showed that Leopoldo Gotuzzo made his first donation of a paintings collection to the Pelotas School of Fine Arts (EBA) in 1995. This institution was founded by his colleague and friend Marina Pires, and he was a patron, he donated his work in order for it to be used as a model for the students. Gotuzzo planned a second donation after his death, seeking for his paintings to be preserved and exposed. This research indicates that the artist did not want to be
forgotten, and, to achieve this, arranged the donations of his works to the creation of a future museum, which would carry his name. EBA, which was later incorporated by UFPel in 1973, did not have the funds to create the museum. Nevertheless, in 1986 the MALG/UFPel was created, as a consequence of a combination of factors, such as, the painter’s connections to, and the appreciation of his art by, the managers of EBA, UFPel, and the community of Pelotas; the consistent investment of the painter in his
artistic education; and the donations of his works. Therefore, this research addresses aspects from the life and work of Leopoldo Gotuzzo and his intention of being immortal, thus, highlighting the participation of the artist in the creation of the MALG.Sem bolsaA pesquisa tem como tema de investigação o pintor pelotense Leopoldo Gotuzzo e a constituição do Museu de Arte Leopoldo Gotuzzo (MALG) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel).

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
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
