Physiotherapy following a sport injury: Stability of psychological variables during rehabilitation
No full textThe present exploratory investigation in the interface between sports psychology and physiotherapy offers an indication of the stability of psychological variables in the course of rehabilitation. Variables were selected and repeatedly measured, following the model of Wiese?Bjornstal et al. (1998). In all cases, the timing of the measurements was determined on the basis of criteria related to the ability of dealing with stress. With distribution?free tests, it was analyzed whether the rank, mean ranking values, or the rank orders change within the group of 15 patients. A high stability was observed for adherence, intention to exercise, and fatalistic locus of control. The continuous decrease of anxiety was conspicuous and an abrupt drop in the social support was also perceived. The information given about satisfaction and the internal locus of control frequently varies over the course of rehabilitation. For research purposes, on the basis of these results a consideration of the stability of the variables is recommended in order to enhance the general validity and comparability of the results. The psychotherapist is advised to positively influence the formation of opinion in relation to his own locus of control as well as the anxiety of the patient in an early stage of rehabilitation

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
