Heroic human factors e self awareness come punti di partenza in sala operatoria, sviluppare e allenare le life and non technical skills del modello Lants
No full textIntroduzione (revisione della letteratura): Fondamentale risulta in letteratura la classificazione che prevede la distinzione tra le competenze base, le competenze tecnico-professionali e le competenze trasversali. Oggi risulta diffusa la terminologia inglese “Non Technical Skills” considerate responsabili degli errori e degli eventi avversi nell’80% dei casi nei sistemi complessi. Materiali e metodi: Le lacune di conoscenze hanno portato ad indagare, identificare e descrivere le competenze non tecniche, rivolgendosi in particolar modo al mondo dell’aviazione, delle Sale Operatorie e del ben-essere e salute. Il Modello LaNTS (Life and Non Technical Skills) costruito e inserito nel 2014 all’interno del piano studi Master per Infermiere di Sala Operatoria-Università degli Studi dell’Insubria, che comprende 17 competenze non tecniche identificate in letteratura, è stato preso in considerazione come punto di partenza per attivare ed integrare, secondo l’approccio di ricerca misto, uno studio osservazionale (survey) e uno studio fenomenologico, allo scopo di creare uno strumento di tassonomia dei comportamenti afferenti a ciascuna di esse. Risultati: 1224 comportamenti sono stati identificati dai 36 Discenti, considerandone 2 per ciascuna delle 17 LaNTS. Tutti sono stati confrontati tra loro per evitare sovrapposizioni. Attualmente a ciascuna LaNTS inserita nello strumento di tassonomia afferiscono dai 10 ai 15 comportamenti. Discussione e conclusioni: L’interesse per le Life Skills e Non Technical Skills sta prendendo sempre più piede anche nel mondo sanitario, proprio nel riconoscimento della trasversalità e trasferibilità delle competenze e del loro impatto, sia sulla qualità e sicurezza delle performance e delle cure, che sul ben-essere e la salute. Il profilo personale e professionale creato dai Discenti ha permesso loro di acquisire, sviluppare e allenare la consapevolezza di sé: la parte sommersa dell’iceberg di ciascuno, riconducibili alle LaNTS, ha cominciato ad emergere in superficie. Poche persone sono nate per diventare eroiche ma molti di noi possono acquisire le competenze necessarie per ostacolare un evento disastroso
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
