ESTIMAREA CONTRIBUŢIEI FACTORILOR DE RISC LA POVARA BOLII ÎN ROMÂNIA
No full textIdentification of major risk factors and determinants of disease and deaths represent an important milestone, providing a solid foundation for health policies. Analysis of the contribution of risk factors in determining the extent and the burden of disease in Romania structure, identified the following as determinants of burden of disease: dietary risk factors , hypertension , smoking and alcohol, without a major change between 1990-2010 and their distribution pattern differs Romania to the model significantly in Central Europe.. Keywords: Burden of disease, risk factor .Identificarea factorilor de risc majori, determinanţi ai bolii şi ai deceselor reprezintă un pas deosebit de important, oferind o bază solidă în fundamentarea politicilor de sănătate. Analiza contribuţiei factorilor de risc la determinarea amplitudinii si structurii poverii bolii în România a identificat ca principali determinanţi ai poverii bolii: factorii de risc alimentari, hipertensiunea arterială, fumatul şi alcoolul, fără o schimbare majoră între anii 1990-2010, iar modelul distribuţiei acestora nu diferă semnificativ în România faţă de modelul Europei Centrale. Cuvinte cheie: povara bolii, factor de ris
EVALUAREA COMPARATIVĂ A POVERII BOLII ÎN ROMÂNIA ÎNTRE ANII 1990 ŞI 2010, ESTIMATĂ PE BAZA MODELULUI CONCEPTUAL AL BOLII
No full textTo estimate the burden of disease by cause and age, data that are needed are unavailable or underestimated in the current report. Therefore, software packages have been developed which can generate complete data sets, satisfying the requirements of internal consistency and causal relationships of the natural history of the disease (eg Dismod-MR for GBD study 2010). Keywords: Burden of disease, DALYPentru estimarea poverii bolii pe cauze şi grupe de vârstă sunt necesare date care nu sunt disponibile sau sunt subestimate în raportările curente. De aceea, au fost dezvoltate pachete software cu ajutorul cărora pot fi generate seturi complete de date, respectând cerinţele de consistenţă internă şi relaţiile cauzale din istoria naturală a bolii (ex. Dismod-MR pentru studiul GBD 2010).Utilizând aceste instrumente, pot fi identificate primele cauze de povară a bolii într-o populaţie şi variaţia în timp a poverii bolii pe diferite cauze. Astfel, în anul 2010, România avea o ierarhie a cauzelor de boală generatoare de povară, asemănătoare cu Europa Centrală. Cauzele de boală care au suferit modificări importante în povara bolii exprimată prin DALY, între anii 1990 şi 2010, sunt cancerul pulmonar şi bronhopneumopatia cronică obstructivă.Cuvinte cheie: povara bolii, DAL
ESTIMAREA POVERII BOLII PRIN INDICATORI SUMATIVI LEGATI DE SPERANTA DE VIATA IN CADRUL UNIUNII EUROPENE
No full textDuring the period 1998-2008, life expectancy at age 65 increased in Romania, according to Eurostat, 1.7 years for women and 1 year in men but it remains approximately 3.5 years less than the same indicator in the EU.Romania is situated among the last places among European Union countries in terms of life expectancy to 65 years without activity limitation (Healthy Life Years - HLY).In European countries, women expect to live over 65 years, significantly more than men with moderate or severe activity limitation, but there are not significant differences between HLY in men and women in the year 2008. Key words: Burden of disease, HLYSperanta de viata la 65 de ani a crescut in Romania, conform datelor EHLEIS, cu 1,7 ani la femei si cu 1 an la barbati, in perioada 1998-2008 dar ramane cu aproximativ 3,5 ani mai mica decat acelasi indicator in Uniunea Europeana.Romania se afla intre ultimele locuri intre tarile Uniunii Europene in ceea ce priveste speranta de viata la 65 de ani fara limitarea activitatii (healthy life years – HLY).In tarile UE, femeile spera sa traiasca peste 65 de ani, semnificativ mai mult decat barbatii cu limitarea moderata sau severa a activitatii, intre HLY la barbati si femei neexistand diferente semnificative, pentru anul 2008.

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
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
