    El Síndrome de Burnout, también conocido como “síndrome de trabajador quemado” o “síndrome de agotamiento profesional”, que se presenta en el ámbito laboral y está asociado con varias formas negativas de respuesta al trabajo. Se presenta en tres niveles: agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y falta de realización personal. Este síndrome es frecuente en trabajos de cuidado y servicio humano, manifestando su mayor frecuencia en el campo de la salud. El Síndrome de Burnout se incluye así entre los principales problemas de salud mental y en la antesala de muchas de las patologías psíquicas derivadas de un escaso control y de la carencia de una prevención primaria de este síndrome. Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la posibilidad de emplear el Engagement como antídoto para el Síndrome de Burnout en las Instrumentadoras Quirúrgicas de Planta, del Hospital San Martín de la Plata, así como relevar la prevalencia de dicho Síndrome en las trabajadoras mencionadas y distinguir y mencionar las acciones de Engagement que estas practican. También se plantea la elaboración de acciones de Engagement para Quirófano como antídoto del Síndrome de Burnout. La metodología utilizada es de enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal, y se han tomado datos a través de dos cuestionarios validados internacionalmente: el MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) y el IMET. Ambos cuestionarios permitirán evaluar el grado de Burnout y Engagement de las Instrumentadoras Quirúrgicas y compararlos mediante tablas de calificación de respuestas. Al realizar el inventario MBI se pudieron observar niveles medianamente altos de Burnout salvo en la dimensión Despersonalización donde los niveles fueron niveles alarmantemente altos. El inventario IMET de Engagement en el trabajo, arrojó valores cercanos al 70% donde 100% es el máximo, en tres subescalas: Emociones positivas, Autoconcepto laboral positivo y Resiliencia en el trabajo, por otra parte, en Apoyo social percibido, apenas alcanzó el 32,4%. Las conclusiones del trabajo de investigación proponen fortalecer y propiciar aquellos aspectos que aparecen como relevantes para los instrumentadores quirúrgicos en el inventario IMET y que pudieron ser el sostén de los profesionales en situaciones de estrés crónico y/o Burnout para seguir en sus tareas de manera eficiente buscando siempre el bienestar del paciente. En las áreas del MBI (Despersonalización) e IMET Apoyo social percibido que pueden tener conexión se proponen realizar actividades relacionadas con el Engagement tendientes a mejorar la comunicación, la empatía, el trabajo en equipo, la valoración de la tarea en excelencia, la búsqueda de la realización personal y la formación continua.Fil: Lico, Andrea Julieta.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    Signed and binary weighted computation for an in-memory computation system

    No full text
    An in-memory computation (IMC) circuit includes a memory array formed by memory cells arranged in row-by-column matrix. Computational weights for an IMC operation are stored in the memory cells. Each column includes a bit line connected to the memory cells. A switching circuit is connected between each bit line and a corresponding column output. The switching circuit is controlled to turn on to generate the analog signal dependent on the computational weight and for a time duration controlled by the coefficient data signal. A column combining circuit combines (by addition and/or subtraction) and integrates analog signals at the column outputs of the biasing circuits. The addition/subtraction is dependent on one or more a sign of the coefficient data and a sign of the computational weight and may further implement a binary weighting function

    An in-memory computation (IMC) circuit includes a memory array formed by memory cells arranged in row-by-column matrix. Computational weights for an IMC operation are stored in the memory cells. Each column includes a bit line connected to the memory cells. A biasing circuit is connected between each bit line and a corresponding column output. A column combining circuit combines and integrates analog signals at the column outputs of the biasing circuits. Each biasing circuit operates to apply a fixed reference voltage level to its bit line. Each biasing circuit further includes a switching circuit that is controlled to turn on for a time duration controlled by asps comparison of a coefficient data signal to a ramp signal to generate the analog signal dependent on the computational weight. The ramp signal is generated using a reference current derived from a reference memory cell

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    A Binary Pattern Matching Task Performed in an ePCM-Based Analog In-Memory Computing Unit

    Full text link
    This paper shows the results related to a Binary Pattern Matching (BPM) task executed on an Analog In-memory Computing (AIMC) unit based on an embedded Phase-Change Memory (ePCM), both designed in a 90-nm CMOS STMicroelectronics technology. The Hit Rate in pattern recognition is characterized and modeled in different scenarios, in order to evaluate the influence of cells Conductance Time Drift (CTD) in a real application. In particular, two PCM multilevel programming algorithms and different cells conductances are considered, and their effects on CTD are experimentally observed. Results suggest that the adoption of a SET staircase (SSC) sequence implies a lower CTD on PCM cells with respect to a RESET Staircase (RSC) sequence, as well as an increased Hit Rate, even with lower levels of employed conductance
