Globally Connected, Locally Led.: 2022 Annual Report
Full text linkAt Jhpiego, we have a saying: our work is global, but our heart is local. For 50 years, we have worked with partners around the world with a clear-eyed focus—to realize their vision of high-quality health care for the people they serve. Their priorities have been ours because we believe in their ability to know what works for their communities. Ours has been a journey of mutual discovery and understanding as together we identified the most appropriate way to build strong, effective health systems that improve the health of women, men, and families."Globally connected, locally committed" perfectly describes Jhpiego at this moment.Our teams now serve as supportive partners to 224 projects across 41 countries. Thatsupport, as envisioned by local leaders, may involve co-designing programs; providingoperational support in managing employees, finances, and systems; and sharinglearning to strengthen data systems, program monitoring, and governance
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
Relationship Between Job Satisfaction and Employee Productivity in Hybrid Work Environments at Jhpiego Kenya
Full text linkAs work extends beyond traditional office walls, understanding what sustains employee motivation and productivity becomes increasingly important. This study examines the relationship between job satisfaction and employee productivity in hybrid work environments, focusing on Jhpiego, a non-profit health organisation in Kenya. Hybrid work arrangements are now central to modern workplaces, making it critical to understand their impact for advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 on Good Health and Well-being and SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth. Using a correlational design grounded in Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and the Job Characteristics Model, this study employed a census approach. Data was collected through a structured, self-administered online questionnaire from all 106 employees, including 90 full-time staff and 16 team leaders, at Jhpiego Kenya. The findings reveal that higher job satisfaction is strongly associated with greater employee productivity (r = 0.711, p < 0.01), underscoring the importance of autonomy, supportive policies, and clear communication in sustaining productivity. These results offer actionable insights for non-profit organisations seeking to optimise hybrid work models and contribute to global development goals. The research provides insights that support evidence-based decision-making for a wide range of stakeholders, including organisational leaders, human resource practitioners, employees, policymakers, and scholars, on the importance of fostering more adaptive, productive, and supportive workplaces in the evolving landscape of hybrid and flexible work
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
Cervical Cancer Prevention Program with Visual Inspection with Acetat Acid (VIA) in Twelve Facilities in Karawang District
Full text linkThe visual inspectionwith acetat acid of is one of the methods for an early detection of cervical cancer and this method could be applied at community health center like primary health care. In Karawang Regency it self, there are 12 primary health care that have become provider for the IVA inspection service supported by JHPIEGO Indonesia. In the method, they have collected data of the service during 2008. The result until December 2008, there were 5,651 people done the IVA test (20,14% of the annual target) with the IVA positive in total 164 people (2.9% from the total number of clients undergone the checked) and there are 37 clients undergo chrio-therapy (22,56% of the client with IVA positive
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
