Breastfeeding and dental caries in infants and toddlers – a literature review
Get PDFNatural feeding has a number of benefits for general health of the child due to, inter alia, presence of immune factors and antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect. In addition, breastfeeding stimulates the muscles responsible for normal development of the stomatognathic system and consequently also the articulation. However, the literature data indicates various opinions of the authors concerning the relationship between natural feeding and the occurrence of early childhood caries. The aim of the paper was to provide information on the impact of mother's milk to the child's dentition. Cited authors emphasize that guidelines concerning feeding of infants and young children do not show a clear and optimal deadline for completion of breastfeeding. There is a lack of unanimity on the effects of prolonged breastfeeding as a key factor to promote the development of caries due to considerable complexity of the situation related to the expansion of the diet and individual features
Wsparcie dla wspierających: Rola mentoringu i nadzoru w opiece zdrowotnej
No full textMarked by both profound rewards and significant challenges, health professions occupy a unique position in society. These careers offer a deep sense of empowerment and fulfillment, but also involve considerable stress, frustration, and personal sacrifice. Healthcare professionals—such as doctors, nurses, paramedics, and physical therapists—often work at the very limits of their mental and physical capacities, as they deal with the most difficult aspects of human life.
The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has placed additional strain on healthcare systems worldwide, exacerbating existing pressures. Alarming global statistics show an increase in suicide attempts and completed suicides among doctors (Harvey et al., 2021). Consequently, it is essential that all professionals involved in patient care and related support services possess a solid foundation of competencies, alongside access to a readily available support system. Equally critical is the promotion of self-care and attention to the psycho-physical well-being of healthcare workers.
This article explores two underutilized forms of support available to healthcare professionals: mentoring and supervision.Zawody związane z ochroną zdrowia zajmują wyjątkową pozycję w społeczeństwie, charakteryzując się zarówno ogromnymi korzyściami, jak i poważnymi wyzwaniami. Kariery te oferują głębokie poczucie wzmocnienia i spełnienia, ale także wiążą się ze znacznym stresem, frustracją i osobistym poświęceniem. Pracownicy służby zdrowia - tacy jak lekarze, pielęgniarki, ratownicy medyczni i fizjoterapeuci - często pracują na granicy swoich możliwości psychicznych i fizycznych, zajmując się najtrudniejszymi aspektami ludzkiego życia.Niedawna pandemia SARS-CoV-2 dodatkowo obciążyła systemy opieki zdrowotnej na całym świecie, pogłębiając istniejącą presję. Alarmujące globalne statystyki pokazują wzrost liczby prób samobójczych i zakończonych samobójstw wśród lekarzy (Harvey i in., 2021). W związku z tym ważne jest, aby wszyscy specjaliści zaangażowani w opiekę nad pacjentami i powiązane usługi wsparcia posiadali solidne podstawy kompetencji, a także dostęp do łatwo dostępnego systemu wsparcia. Równie ważne jest promowanie samoopieki i dbanie o dobre samopoczucie psychofizyczne pracowników służby zdrowia.Niniejszy artykuł analizuje dwie niedostatecznie wykorzystywane formy wsparcia dostępne dla pracowników służby zdrowia: mentoring i superwizję
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
