71414.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Stroke is an important disease in Western Society with an estimated incidence of 30.000 patients/year in the Netherlands. In approximately 70 to 80% of the stroke survivors upper-extremity motor function is impaired and in almost one third of these patients motor impairments are severe. Among those with severe impairments, two-thirds do not regain the functional use of the affected arm or hand. Nevertheless, nearly 25% of these patients will regain partial motor recovery, and 5-20% even complete motor recovery. These 'recovery' patients, however, cannot be accurately identified by clinical assessment. The pathophysiological processes underlying motor recovery after stroke and the development of spasticity are not well understood. It seems essential to enhance our knowledge of (cortical) reorganization processes to predict motor recovery and ultimately improve the effects of various treatment approaches in stroke patients. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive neurophysiological technique to assess the integrity of the corticospinal pathways both objectively and quantitatively. TMS is particularly effective in the activation of distal hand muscles in which a short-latency motor evoked potential (MEP) can be recorded by surface electromyography. Previous studies consistently showed high specificity of the presence of a MEP (100%) in those patients who will show upper-extremity motor recovery. There is also some evidence that TMS may be of value in predicting the development of post-stroke spasticity through information obtained from the silent period (SP). In this study, both clinical examinations and neurophysiological techniques will be used to investigate the importance of the integrity of the corticospinal pathways for upper-extremity functioning. In particular, the additional predictive value of both MEP and SP to clinical examination with regard to post-stroke hand motor recovery will be determined in patients with a severe, middle cerebral artery stroke. The development of spasticity will be monitored and predicted in these patients as well.RU Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 27 mei 2008Promotores : Geurts, A.C.H., Zwarts, M.J.

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
