Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
La Convention des Nations Unies relative aux droits des personnes en situation de handicap et sa pertinence pour la santé mentale en France
No full textObjectives
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a landmark international treaty which embeds the human rights of people with disabilities, including mental disabilities, into international law. We aim to demonstrate the relevance of the CRPD for the protection of human rights of people with mental illness in France. We begin with a broad overview of its development and implementation at the level of the international community, and then describe the situation in France.
Conclusion
Ratification of the CRPD by France in 2010 reflected the increasing recognition of human rights of people with disabilities. To date, the CRPD has inspired several initiatives in the field of mental health in France. As it is at the international level, in France, there remains significant room for advancement; particularly concerning the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights, in addition to that of civil and political rights. Full realization of the principles of the CRPD requires input from all sectors of government and the whole of the community.No Full Tex
Orthostatic hypotension in very old individuals living in nursing homes: the PARTAGE study.
No full textOBJECTIVE:
Orthostatic hypotension has a prognostic role in determining cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension and its association with blood pressure (BP) levels, arterial stiffness, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders and medication in individuals aged 80 years and over living in nursing home.
METHODS:
In 994 individuals (77% women, mean age 88±5 years), the presence of orthostatic hypotension was tested according to American Autonomic Society and American Academy of Neurology guidelines. Arterial stiffness was evaluated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), peripheral to central pulse pressure amplification (PPA) and augmentation index. Cardiovascular and metabolic disorders as well as medications were recorded from patients' medical records.
RESULTS:
The prevalence of orthostatic hypotension was 18%. Treated hypertensive patients with SBP 140 mmHg or less had a lower prevalence of orthostatic hypotension than patients with SBP more than 140 mmHg (respectively, 13 vs. 23%; P < 0.001). Individuals with orthostatic hypotension exhibited higher brachial and central PP than individuals without orthostatic hypotension (respectively, 69±18 vs. 65±16 mmHg and 57±17 vs. 54±15 mmHg; P < 0.01). In these same individuals, a significant increase in augmentation index (31.1±14.0 vs. 27.2±13.6%; P < 0.01), but not in cf-PWV or in PPA, was observed. Individuals with orthostatic hypotension were treated more frequently with β-blockers and less frequently with angiotensin receptor blockers or nitrates than individuals without orthostatic hypotension (P < 0.05 for both).
CONCLUSION:
Contrary to the general belief, elderly individuals with well controlled BP (SBP < 140 mmHg) show lower orthostatic hypotension, thus constituting a complementary argument for efficaciously treating hypertension in these individuals
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
