Looking for social pedagogy: case study of the HOPE(S) project
No full textThe HOPE(S) Project is an NHSE Collaborative that aims to transform the quality of life and health care of patients who are segregated from their peers on a long term basis. This case study assesses the overlap between the HOPE(S) model and the values and principles of social pedagogy, a discipline concerned with care, education, upbringing, ethics and social justice. It does this through an interview with a HOPE(S) consultant practitioner (the second author). We find that social pedagogy as expressed through the Social Pedagogy Professional Association (SPPA)’s Charteris aligned with the HOPE(S) approach and give numerous examples of how HOPE(S) practice is social pedagogy without being named as such
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
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
Arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att använda bedömningsinstrument I-HOPE/S i det kliniska arbetet : Occupational therapists´experiences of using assessment instrument I-HOPE/S in clinical work
No full textIn-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation [I-HOPE] är ett aktivitetskort baserat bedömningsinstrument som utvecklats i USA för att mäta både aktivitetsutförande och aktivitetshinder för äldre över 65 år i ordinärt boende. En pilotgrupp legitimerade arbetsterapeuter i Sverige har testat den svenska versionen av bedömningsinstrument I-HOPE [I-HOPE/S] i kliniskt arbete under hösten 2017. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva arbetsterapeuternas erfarenheter av att använda bedömningsinstrument I-HOPE/S i det kliniska arbetet. Metod: Datainsamling har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metoden som användes var en manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys med deduktiv ansats. Resultat: Studiens resultat visade som helhet att I-HOPE/S är ett bra bedömningsinstrument som främjade arbetsterapeuten att få ett bra underlag för vidare åtgärder och ansågs vara personcentrerad. Aktivitetskorten ansågs vara centrala i bedömningsinstrument I-HOPE/S och lyfte fram bortglömda aktiviteter. En begränsande aspekt för användandet av I-HOPE/S var att flertal arbetsterapeuter visste inte hur de skulle kunna använda poängen de fick fram och hur siffrorna skulle tolkas. Bedömningen med I-HOPE/S var tidskrävande. Slutsats: Bedömningsinstrumentet I-HOPE/S har potential att användas av arbetsterapeuter i det kliniska arbetet.In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation [I-HOPE] is an activity card-based assessment instrument developed in USA to assess in-home activity performance and activity barriers for people above 65 years. A pilot group of registered occupational therapists in Sweden has tested the Swedish version of the assessment instrument I-HOPE [I-HOPE/S] in clinical work during the autumn, 2017. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to describe the occupational therapists’ experiences of using the assessment instrument I-HOPE/S in clinical work. Method: The data sampling was performed through semi-structured interviews. The method applied in the present study consists of a manifest qualitative content analysis with a deductive approach. Results: The results of the study showed that overall I-HOPE/S is a person-centered assessment instrument that promoted satisfactory support to the occupational therapists for further actions. The activity cards were found central in the assessment instrument I-HOPE/S and were helpful in exposing forgotten activities. A limiting aspect of using I-HOPE/S was that a majority of the occupational therapists did not understand how to use the accumulated scores or how assess them. The assessment with I-HOPE/S was time-consuming. Conclusions: The assessment instrument I-HOPE/S has the potential to support occupational therapists in their daily clinical work
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
