Με δείγμα 183 συμμετεχόντων από διάφορες περιοχές της χώρας και μεθοδολογικό εργαλείο ένα δομημένο ερωτηματολόγιο, διεξήχθησαν ποσοτικές αναλύσεις με χρήση μη παραμετρικών ελέγχων (Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney U, Spearman rho, Chi-Square). Τα αποτελέσματα ανέδειξαν έναν κοινωνικό διχασμό στις στάσεις απέναντι στους πρώην χρήστες: ενώ ένα
σημαντικό μέρος του πληθυσμού εκφράζει θετική διάθεση αποδοχής, εξακολουθούν να επιβιώνουν στερεοτυπικές αντιλήψεις και αρνητικές στάσεις. Οι οικογενειακές και κοινωνικές σχέσεις αναδείχθηκαν ως κρίσιμος παράγοντας που συνδέεται με θετικότερες στάσεις, ενώ παράλληλα διαπιστώθηκε ότι οι χρήστες συχνά δεν απολαμβάνουν ισότιμη πρόσβαση στις υπηρεσίες υγείας, γεγονός που ενισχύει την εικόνα ύπαρξης ανισοτήτων. Οι συμμετέχοντες θεωρούν επίσης ότι ο ρόλος της πολιτείας είναι ανεπαρκής και ζητούν περισσότερες δράσεις πρόληψης και υποστήριξης, με την ενημέρωση και τη γνώση δομών να διαδραματίζουν καταλυτικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση στάσεων. Σε σχέση με τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά, το φύλο, η ηλικία, ο τόπος διαμονής και το επίπεδο εκπαίδευσης δεν διαφοροποίησαν ουσιαστικά τις στάσεις, ενώ η επαγγελματική κατάσταση συνδέθηκε σημαντικά με τη γνώση δομών υποστήριξης. Συμπερασματικά, η μελέτη επιβεβαιώνει ότι η κοινωνική αποδοχή των πρώην χρηστών ουσιών εξαρτάται λιγότερο από δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά και περισσότερο από παράγοντες όπως η οικογένεια, η κοινωνική στήριξη και η ενημέρωση για διαθέσιμες δομές. Η
συμβολή της μελέτης είναι διττή: αφενός προσφέρει εμπειρικά δεδομένα για την ελληνική πραγματικότητα, αφετέρου υπογραμμίζει την ανάγκη για στοχευμένες πολιτικές πρόληψης, ενδυνάμωσης οικογενειών και καταπολέμησης του στίγματος, προκειμένου να ενισχυθεί η κοινωνική και επαγγελματική ένταξη πρώην χρηστών ουσιών.This study investigates societal views on drug use, the social and professional reintegration of former users, and the perceived roles of the family, health services, the state, and support systems in Greece. A sample of 183 people from several parts of the nation was used, using a
structured questionnaire as the methodological instrument. Quantitative analyses were performed using non-parametric tests, including Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney U, Spearman rho, and Chi-Square. The findings showed that people have different opinions toward past users. Some people have a good attitude of acceptance, while others still have conventional views and negative attitudes. Family and social interactions were identified as significant determinants of more favorable views. Additionally, it was shown that consumers often lack equitable access to health care, hence perpetuating the perception of existing inequities.
Participants believe that the state's involvement is inadequate and advocate for enhanced preventive measures and assistance initiatives, with information and awareness of structures serving as catalysts in influencing views. Regarding demographic variables, gender, age,
domicile, and educational attainment did not substantially influence views; nevertheless, professional position was notably correlated with awareness of support systems. In conclusion, the study substantiates that the societal acceptability of former drug users is influenced more by familial and social support, as well as access to knowledge on accessible resources, rather
than by demographic features. The study's contribution is twofold: it provides empirical data on the Greek context and underscores the necessity for targeted prevention policies, the fortification of families, and the combatting of stigma to enhance the social and professional
integration of former substance users.112 σ
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
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
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
