Barn og unge som nærstående i en intensivavdeling
No full textMasteroppgave i samfunnsarbeidBakgrunn/Hensikt: Samfunnsarbeid innebærer å undersøke og påvirke mulighetsbetingelser for sosial deltakelse. Mange pasienter innlagt i en intensivavdeling har nære relasjoner til barn og unge. Dette prosjektets hensikt var å undersøke mulighetsbetingelser for barn og unges sosiale deltakelse som nærstående på en intensivavdeling. Metode: Kvalitativ, hermeneutisk studie der empiri fra minnearbeid, fortellinger og fokusgrupper gir indirekte tilgang til å utforske hemmende og fremmende muligheter for deltakelse. Materialet er analysert ved en hermeneutisk tilnærming, der empiri er tolket som dialog med tekst, og syntetisert i tema. Resultater og diskusjon: Funnene kan samles under temaene a) Å komme på besøk? b) Det første møte c) Barn og unges tilstedeværelse på intensiv, og d) Venner, - de nye nærstående? Mulighetsbetingelser for deltakelse handler om tid og mulighet til å komme, samtale og bli kjent, og forklare ting den enkelte lurer på. Derfor vektlegges relasjonelle aspekter som tillit, forberedelse og involvering. Strukturelle betingelser inkluderer mulighet til å bevege seg i avdelingen, gå til og fra rommet, eller være på pårørenderommet. Konklusjon og videre forskning: Studien viser at sykepleierne oppfordrer til deltakelse, spesielt når foreldre eller søsken er pasient. Når ungdom innlegges kommer jevnaldrende venner på eget initiativ. Studiens viktigste bidrag til samfunnsarbeid er “de nye nærstående”, altså venner som ønsker å delta ved at de kommer til avdelingen. Videre forskning bør se direkte på barn og unges perspektiver for å forstå hvilke faktorer som hemmer eller fremmer deres mulighet for deltakelse på denne arenaen som nærstående.Title: How do Critical Care nurses engage with children and adolescent that visit the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)? Children and Adolescents` conditions for social participation in an ICU. Master Thesis in Community Work, Bergen University College, Tone Johnsgaard Objective: Community work involves examining opportunities and influencing conditions for social participation. Many intensive care patients have relations to children and/or adolescents that are of great significance to them. The study examined opportunities for social participation by children and adolescents when persons of significance are in an ICU. Method: Qualitative, hermeneutic study, where the empirical material collected from memory work, narrative and focus groups offer indirect access to explore factors inhibiting and enchancing opportunities for participation. A hermeneutic approach, interpreting the text in a dialogue with the text, questions were posed to the text and led to synthesized themes. Results: Four themes were identified; a) Coming for a visit? b) The first meeting c) Prescence on the ICU, and d) Friends – a new significant other? Opportunities for participation of individuals depend on openings to talk, being there for dialogue, getting aquainted and being able to attend to the individuals concerns. Trust, preparation and involvement are important relational conditions. Structural conditions include opportunity to move around within the ward, access to the patient room, and/or a sheltered family room. Conclusion and further research: The findings from this study show that ICU nurses encourage participation, particularly when parents or siblings are patients. When adolescents are admitted, friends often visit on their own initiative. The studys new important contribution to community work is how “the new related”, meaning friends, want to participate through their prescence. Further research should examine children and adolescent` perspectives through their own voice, to understand further factors that inhibit or promote opportunities for participation in the IC
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
