Self-care which is performed routinely would induce a feeling of bored and tired, thereby causing type 2 diabetes patients become undisciplined doing self-care. Family support helps people with type 2 diabetes to stay disciplined perform self-care. But not all families are able to provide effective support. This research is descriptive analytic, with total sample of 56 respondents. Analysis of data used Rasch Model (Rasch Measurement Model). Instrument to determine family support used Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale (HDFSS). The results of this study indicated that family support to word patients with type 2 diabetes were mostly low (67.9%), the easiest form of support given was related to emotional support (-4,05) and the most difficult support was support related information (1.71). The results of this study contributes to word diabetes disease management needs family support (family support), thus it is necessary to develop intervention strategies to improve family support.Keywords: Family Support, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Rasch MODEL
Hubungan Dukungan Keluarga dengan Kepatuhan Diet pada Lansia dalam Pengendalian Hipertensi di Puskesmas Kedungmundu
Full text linkBackground: The frequency of hypertension continues to increase in line with the low compliance of hypertension sufferers in carrying out their treatment, one of which is a hypertension diet. Family support plays a crucial role in increasing self-confidence, motivation, and life satisfaction of hypertension sufferers. Family involvement in health education programs helps patients with their needs met, understanding when to seek medical help, and support for treatment compliance, which can prevent recurrence and serious complications due to hypertension. In addition, compliance with a hypertension diet is very important to keep blood pressure stable. A good understanding of the benefits of diet and the role of family and health workers in providing support can increase diet compliance. Conversely, low understanding can reduce awareness of the importance of diet, potentially causing ongoing complications. Therefore, hypertension management strategies must involve family support and education about the right diet to achieve optimal health outcomes. This study was conducted to analyze the Relationship Between Family Support and Diet Compliance in the Elderly in Controlling Hypertension at the Kedungmundu Health Center. Methods: This study uses a quantitative method with a correlational approach. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires, family support, and hypertension diet compliance, with a study sample consisting of 90 people using random sampling techniques. Somers' D test was chosen as the statistical analysis method for this research data. Results: Based on the study, it was found that some respondents received quite good family support, with a total of 57 people (63.3%) and were quite compliant with dietary compliance as many as 57 people (63.3%). The results of the Somers' D test showed that the significance value of p = 0.000 <α (0.05), so H0 was rejected. Conclusion: Based on the data analysis, the conclusion obtained is that there is a relationship between family support and dietary compliance in the elderly in controlling hypertension at the Kedungmundu Health Center, Semarang City

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
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
