Factors Determining the Professionalization of the Medical Profession in Relation to the Concept of a Learning Organization. Example of Occupational Therapists
No full textThe profession of an occupational therapist has been present in the field of Polish rehabilitation for decades. However, it is not recognized by society. According to available research, the knowledge of medical staff about the roles and tasks performed by occupational therapists is very limited. The level of society’s knowledge is similar. Moreover, even occupational therapists themselves have difficulty defining the tasks performed by their colleagues employed in various types of facilities. People who work in the profession of occupational therapists should be more active and involved in ensuring that the profession develops, is better recognized, and becomes more professional. This requires them to have appropriate competences. In this article, the occupational therapy profession is analysed based on Peter Senge’s concept, which is related to management. The author refers to knowledge-based organizations and proposes the integration of five disciplines: systemic thinking, personal mastery, creating mental models, building a common vision and team learning. The essence of a learning organization is to search for new opportunities, create patterns of non-stereotypical thinking, and develop teamwork. The implementation of the above-mentioned elements is also a necessary condition for developing the profession of occupational therapist, which is classified as a medical profession. The data presented in the article comes from secondary sources – scientific articles and publicly available reports on occupational therapy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Fenomen grupizmu na gruncie organizacji funkcjonujących w Polsce
No full textThe term groupism is derived from the Japanese cultural model of collectivism, and it describes the behaviour of group-oriented individuals. In this meaning, it refers to both the national and organizational culture, being the natural element of the latter. In the author’s understanding, groupism in organization means high degree of internalizing by employees of collectivistic features as well as ritual practices stemming from them. Those practices can also be implemented in companies with foreign Japanese capital, which originally functioned in an environment with different behavioural patterns. Can thus understood groupism be spotted among the Polish companies with foreign Japanese capital? Based on her own research, the author demonstrates that the answer to the above question is affirmative, however, under condition of fulfilling certain assumptions. Groupism may be displayed on the level of employees’ attitudes, since they reflect different types of adapting by Polish personnel of the phenomenon in question.Termin grupizm wywodzi się z japońskiego modelu kulturowego kolektywizmu i opisuje zachowania jednostek zorientowanych grupowo. W tym znaczeniu odnosi się zarówno do kultury narodowej, jak i organizacyjnej, będąc naturalnym elementem tej drugiej. W rozumieniu autorki grupizm w organizacji oznacza wysoki stopień internalizacji przez pracowników cech kolektywistycznych, jak również wynikających z nich praktyk rytualnych. Praktyki te mogą być również wdrażane w firmach z zagranicznym kapitałem japońskim, które pierwotnie funkcjonowały w środowisku o odmiennych wzorcach zachowań. Czy tak pojmowany grupizm można dostrzec wśród polskich firm z zagranicznym kapitałem japońskim? Na podstawie własnych badań autorka wykazuje, że odpowiedź na powyższe pytanie jest twierdząca, jednak pod warunkiem spełnienia pewnych założeń. Grupizm może przejawiać się na poziomie postaw pracowników, gdyż odzwierciedlają one różne typy adaptacji polskiego personelu do omawianego zjawiska
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
