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
Physiotherapy in oncology
No full textOnkologija je grana medicine koja se bavi proučavanjem, dijagnozom, liječenjem i praćenjem tumora. Tumori se mogu definirati kao abnormalan rast stanica u tijelu koji može biti benigni ili maligni. Onkološke bolesti su sve češće bolesti današnjice, njihovo liječenje je kompleksno jer je glavni cilj liječenja poboljšati kvalitetu života onkoloških bolesnika. Uzroci tumora su složeni i često uključuju međudjelovanje različitih genetskih, okolišnih i životnih čimbenika. Najučestaliji tumori u svijetu za 2020. godinu su: rak dojke, pluća, debelog crijeva i rektuma , prostate, kože i želuca. Dijagnoza malignih tumora predstavlja kompleksan proces koji zahtijeva angažman širokog spektra medicinskih stručnjaka i osoblja. S obzirom na raznolikost malignih tumora, postavljanje precizne dijagnoze zahtijeva provođenje različitih dijagnostičkih postupaka, ali i uključivanje raznih zdravstveni stručnjaka odnosno suradnju multidisciplinarnog tima. Dijagnoza se postavlja na temelju anamneze, temeljitog fizikalnog pregleda i raznih dijagnostičkih postupaka. Psihoonkologija proučava psihološke i emocionalne aspekte povezane s dijagnozom, liječenjem i preživljavanjem onkoloških bolesti. Cilj joj je razumjeti kako bolesnici i njihove obitelji doživljavaju stres, suočavaju se s dijagnozom, te kako emocionalni i mentalni faktori utječu na tijek bolesti. Faze kroz koje prolaze onkološki bolesnici su strah, neizvjesnost i prihvaćanje. Liječenje bolesnika ne smije biti usmjereno samo na simptome i nuspojave koje se javljaju nego na poboljšanje kvalitete života oboljelih osoba odnosno osposobiti bolesnika kako bi mogao samostalno svakodnevno funkcionirati. Također liječenje tumora je usmjereno na uklanjanje, praćenje ili ublažavanje patoloških promjena koje su nastale nekontroliranim širenjem malignih stanica. Ovisno o vrsti i stadiju tumora liječenje uključuje kirurške zahvate, kemoterapiju, radioterapiju i hormonska terapija. Proces rehabilitacije ne počinje tek nakon operacije ili u poodmakloj fazi bolesti, već s postavljanjem konačne dijagnoze. Svaki fizioterapijski tretman započinje procjenom na temelju koje se postavljaju kratkoročni i dugoročni ciljevi. Za onkološke bolesnike, fizioterapijski tretman može biti ključan u smanjenju nuspojava liječenja, poboljšanju funkcionalnosti i poticanju oporavka. Temelji se na holističkom i individualnom pristupu uzimajući u obzir specifične potrebe bolesnika. Neke od terapijskih postupaka koji se koriste su: kineziterapija, fizikalne procedure, PNF, ručna limfna drenaža i edukacija.Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of tumors. Tumors can be defined as abnormal growth of cells in the body which can be benign or malignant. Oncological diseases are increasingly common diseases today, their treatment is complex because the main goal of treatment is to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. The causes of tumors are complex and often involve the interaction of various genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. The most common tumors in the world for 2020 are: breast, lung, colon and rectal, prostate, skin and stomach cancer. The diagnosis of malignant tumors is a complex process that requires the involvement of a wide range of medical professionals and personnel. Given the diversity of malignant tumors, establishing a precise diagnosis requires the implementation of various diagnostic procedures, as well as the involvement of various health professionals, i.e. the cooperation of a multidisciplinary team. The diagnosis is made on the basis of history, a thorough physical examination and various diagnostic procedures. Psycho-oncology studies the psychological and emotional aspects associated with the diagnosis, treatment and survival of oncological diseases. Her goal is to understand how patients and their families experience stress, face the diagnosis, and how emotional and mental factors affect the course of the disease. The stages that cancer patients go through are fear, uncertainty and acceptance. The treatment of the patient must not be focused only on the symptoms and side effects that occur, but on improving the quality of life of the affected persons, that is, training the patient so that he can function independently on a daily basis. Tumor treatment is also aimed at removing, monitoring or mitigating pathological changes caused by the uncontrolled spread of malignant cells. Depending on the type and stage of the tumor, treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. The rehabilitation process does not begin until after surgery or in an advanced stage of the disease, but with the establishment of a final diagnosis. Each physiotherapy treatment begins with an assessment based on which short-term and long-term goals are set. For oncology patients, physiotherapy treatment can be crucial in reducing side effects of treatment, improving functionality and promoting recovery. It is based on a holistic and individual approach, taking into account the specific needs of the patient. Some of the therapeutic procedures used are: kinesitherapy, physical procedures, PNF, manual lymphatic drainage and education

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
