Peningkatkan Peran Masyarakat Dalam Deteksi Dini Dan Pencegahan Penyakit Kardiovaskuler Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Purnama Kota Dumai
No full textTingginya angka kejadian dan kematian akibat penyakit kardiovaskuler masih menjadi masalah kesehatan utama, termasuk di Kota Dumai. Kader posyandu sebagai perpanjangan tangan pemerintah sangat berperan dalam membantu mendeteksi dini adanya risiko penyakit kardiovaskuler ini. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyrakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader posyandu dalam melakukan deteksi dini serta memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang pencegahan risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskuler. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk ceramah dan pelatihan keterampilan pengukuran antropometri dan tekanan darah dengan melibatkan 20 orang kader posyandu lansia yang ada di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Purnama Kota Dumai. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan kader mengenai penyakit kardiovaskuler, risiko serta pencegahannya. Selain itu, keterampilan kader dalam melakukan pengukuran antropometri dan interpretasinya serta melakukan pengukuran tekanan darah juga sudah baik. Dengan demikian diharapkan setelah pelatihan ini kader sudah mampu melakukan deteksi dini adanya risiko penyakit kardiovaskuler pada masyarakat setempat
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
Effect of Andrographolide on Foam Cell Formation at the Initiation Stage of Atherosclerosis
Full text linkAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is caused by multiple processes. Inflammation is the main mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The initiation stage of atherosclerosis is characterized by the formation of foam cells. Andrographolide is a compound that has an anti-inflammatory effect that is expected to be used as an anti-atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate andrographolide effect on foam cell formation at the initiation stage of atherosclerosis. The study was conducted on 27 rats divided into 3 groups (n=9). Group 1 was given a normal diet. Group 2 was given an atherogenic diet (vitamin D3 700,000 IU/kg on the first day and 2% cholesterol, 5% goat fat, 0.2% cholic acid and standard diet up to 100% for 2 days). Group 3 was given an atherogenic diet and andrographolide 40 mg/kg. The andrographolide effect on foam cell formation was assessed by histopathologic examination using hematoxylin eosin staining. The results showed that the number of foam cells was increased significantly in atherogenic diet-fed rats compared to normal diet-fed rats (82.33 + 13.10 vs. 5.33 + 1.73; P<0,05). Andrographolide reduced this number remarkably (82.33 + 13.10 vs. 7.44 + 1.62; P<0,05). In conclusion, andrographolide inhibits the formation of foam cells at the initiation stage of atherosclerosis. Thus andrographolide can be potentially developed as an anti-atherosclerosis.

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
