Stress and heart disease in women
No full textPsychosocial aspects of heart diseases have usually been studied in predominantly male patients. Growing evidence shows that the results of these studies cannot simply be generalized to women. The research on associations between psychosocial factors and heart disease, especially coronary heart disease, in women is therefore summarized in a literature review. The literature shows that women are subject to adverse cardiac effects of stress and chronic negative affects in a similar way as men. However, in women the relevant sources of distress are often found in other areas, i.e., in the family and household environment, and less often at the workplace. Especially for working mothers, the combination of professional and household work constitutes a considerable stressor. Stress is also perceived differently in men and women, and it leads to different physiological reactions. One striking example is the recently described "stress cardiomyopathy", an acute, life-threatening illness, which is often triggered by sudden emotional distress and can mainly be found in women. Women with heart disease report more psychological distress in response to their illness than men. As in men, depressive symptoms may negatively impact prognosis. Nevertheless, women receive less rehabilitation treatment than men and also benefit less from common psychological offerings. There is some evidence that women need specially developed psychosocial interventions and should not simply be treated in predominantly male stress-management groups. In clinical practice, gender-specific stressors and accompanying psychological symptoms should be discussed with the female heart patient. If needed, she should receive individualized psychosomatic treatment
Reduced Quality of Life, Behavior Problems and Lipid Levels in Children and Adolescents Aged from 11-17 Years
No full textStability of Mental Stress-induced Hemodynamic and Autonomic Reaction despite Successful Treatment for Psychosomatic Disorder
No full textAutonomic imbalance and exaggerated stress responses are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality and have been associated with several psychosomatic disorders. Has in-patient psychotherapy any effect on autonomic regulation and mental stress reactivity? In 77 patients undergoing in-patient psychometric treatment psychometric examination and psychophysiological assessment of hemodynamic and autonomic parameters during rest and 2 mental stress tests was performed at the beginning and at the end of in-patient psychotherapy. Despite marked improvements in symptoms our short-term treatment for psychosomatic disorders did not affect autonomic and hemodynamic activation at rest or during stress testing. It remains to be investigated if increased physical activity and relaxation expected after improvement have beneficial physiological effects over longer time spans
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
