Streszczenie
Cel. W prezentowanym doniesieniu podjęto problem oceny wpływu zastosowania metody ORA na poprawę wybranych wskaźników stabilometrycznych i posturometrycznych u dziewcząt z zaburzeniami statyki ciała.
Metoda. Badaniami objęto 40 osobową grupę dziewcząt w wieku od 12 do 16 lat ze stwierdzonymi zaburzeniami statyki ciała. Dla oceny wpływu Metody ORA na badane zmienne, badaną grupę podzielono losowo na dwie dwudziestoosobowe podgrupy: badawczą, z dodatkowymi ćwiczeniami z aparatem ORA oraz kontrolną. Program badań obejmował ocenę zmian ustawienia głowy w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej i czołowej oraz zmian kontroli stabilności posturalnej. Wszystkie dziewczęta miały dwukrotnie przeprowadzone badania stabilometryczne z wykorzystaniem dwupłytowej platformy balansowej CQ-electronic oraz fotometryczną analizę postawy z wykorzystaniem Systemu Fotograficznej Analizy Postawy Ciała (SFAPC).
Wyniki: Zastosowana terapia przyniosła pozytywne zmiany wszystkich parametrów w obu badanych grupach. Zaobserwowano bardziej wyraźną poprawę ustawienia głowy w przestrzeni w grupie badawczej, szczególnie w parametrze kąta nachylenia Głowy (KNG) gdzie te zmiany były istotne. Stwierdzono również istotne zmiany w grupie badawczej dotyczące całkowitej długości ścieżki (SP) i długości ścieżki w płaszczyźnie czołowej (SPML).
Wnioski: 1. Analiza zmiennych charakteryzujących przestrzenne ustawienie głowy wskazuje na tendencję do poprawy jej ustawienia w badaniach kontrolnych w obu grupach. Wyraźniejsze zmiany obserwowano w grupie z aparatem ORA. 2. Istotną poprawę stwierdzono wyłącznie dla kąta nachylenia głowy KNG w grupie z aparatem ORA. 3.Analizowane zmienne stabilograficzne również wykazały tendencję do poprawy w obu badanych grupach. W grupie badawczej ta tendencja była także wyraźniejsza. 4. Istotne zmiany stwierdzono dla całkowitej długości ścieżki (SP) i długości ścieżki w płaszczyźnie czołowej (SPML) w grupie badawczej.

Abstract
Objective. The paper presents the problem of evaluation of the impact of ORA method on the improvement of the selected stabilometric and posturometric factors in girls with body statics problems.
Method. The tests were conducted in a group of 40 girls, age 12 to 16, with diagnosed body statics problems. In order to evaluate how the ORA Method affects the studied variables, the sample was randomly divided in two groups of 20: a tested group and a control group. The examination program involved the evaluation of changes of the head position in the sagittal plane and in the frontal plane as well as changes of control of postural stability in both studied groups. Stabilometric tests by means of two-board CQ-electronic balance platform and photometric posture analysis using the System of Photographic Analysis of Postural Control (SFAPC, System Fotograficznej Analizy Postawy Ciała) were applied twice on all girls.
Results: The applied therapy resulted in positive changes of all parameters in both studied groups. A definite improvement of the spatial head position has been noticed in the tested group, particularly for the head inclination angle (KNG, kąt nachylenia głowy) parameter, where these changes were significant. There were also significant changes in the tested group regarding total length of the sway path (SP) and path length in the frontal plane (Sway Path Medium-Lateral, SPML).
Conclusions: 1. The analysis of the variables that characterize the spacial head position shows a tendency to improve the head’s position in the control tests, both in the group in which ORA device was used and in the control group. The improvement was more observable in the group using the ORA device. 2. Statistically relevant improvement was noticed only for the head inclination angle KNG in the group with the ORA device. 3. The analyzed stabilographic variables also showed the tendency to improve in both studied groups. However, in the group using ORA devices, this tendency was also more noticeable. 4. Statistically significant changes in the values of the studied variables were observed for total sway path (SP) length and frontal plane path (SPML) length in the group using ORA devices.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
