    The National Demonstration Project on Epilepsy has sensitized epilepsy lay associations across the country in a joint effort to help bringing epilepsy out of the shadows in Brazil since 2003. The third edition of the National Week of Epilepsy took place in forty-one cities covering all regions in the country. The main objective of this activity was to bring awareness of this condition for the community and also for patients and their relatives. The strategy employed was an uniform message "Citizenship". There were distributions of folders, public manifestations, social activities, lectures and concentrated in a week of activities. In conclusion, the National Week of Epilepsy is a reality in our country and it contributes to reinforce the national movement to bring epilepsy out of the shadows, diminishing the associated stigma and improving the quality of life of people with epilepsy and their families.114205207Fernandes, P.T., Salgado, P.C., Noronha, A.L.A., Barbosa, F.D., Souza, E.A., Li, L.M., Stigma Scale of Epilepsy: Conceptual issues (2004) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 10 (4), pp. 213-218LM, L., Sander, J.W., National demonstration project on epilepsy in Brazil] (2003) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 61 (1), pp. 153-156Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L., Cendes, F., Silvado, C., Guerreiro, C.A., Li, L.M., Relatório do I Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2003) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 9 (2), pp. 93-96Sem Crise, R., Sem Crise, R., (2003) 5 (Edição Primavera)Fernandes, P.T., Leitão, L.M., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório do II Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2004) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 10 (2), pp. 117-120Fernandes, P.T., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório da II Semana Nacional de Epilepsia (2004) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 10 (4), pp. 245-247Fernandes, P.T., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório do III Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2005) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 11 (2), pp. 97-9

    Epilepsy is a common neurological condition; however, it is still very frequent to observe myths and inadequate behaviors regarding epilepsy in our society. The National Demonstration Project "Epilepsy out of the shadows" brought important changes in our society through a national movement of epilepsy carried out by lay associations. The National Week of Epilepsy, on the September 9th is one the major national movements with purpose to promote epilepsy awareness within our society about epilepsy. ASPE, a non-governmental organization, participates actively in the movement since its origin in 2003. We believe that the results contribute to reinforce the national movement to bring epilepsy out of the shadows, diminishing the associated stigma and improving the quality of life of people with epilepsy and their families.144197199Baker, G., The Psychosocial Burden of Epilepsy (2002) Epilepsia, 43, pp. 26-30Fernandes, P.T., Li, L.M., Percepção de estigma na epilepsia (2006) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 12, pp. 207-218Noronha, A.L.A., Borges, A., Marques, L.H., Prevalence and Pattern of Epilepsy Treatment in Different Social-economic Classes in Brazil (2007) Epilepsia, 48, pp. 880-885Li, L.M., Sander, J.W., National demonstration project on epilepsy in Brazil (2003) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 61, pp. 153-156Li, L.M., Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L.A., Marques, L.H.N., Borges, M.A., Cendes, F., Guerreiro, C.A.M., Sander, J.W., Demonstration project on epilepsy in Brazil: Situation assessment (2007) Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 65 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 5-13. , http://www.scielo.br/pdf/anp/v65s1/a02v65s1.pdfLi, L.M., Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L.A., Marques, L.H.N., Borges, M.A., Borges, K., Cendes, F., Sander, J.W., Demonstration project on epilepsy in Brazil: Outcome assessment (2007) Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 65 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 58-62. , http://www.scielo.br/pdf/anp/v65s1/a10v65s1.pdfFernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L., Sander, J.W., Li, L.M., National epilepsy movement in Brazil (2007) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 65 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 55-57Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L.A., Cendes, F., Silvado, C., Guerreiro, C.A.M., Li, L.M., Report of the I National Meeting of Associations and Support Groups of People with Epilepsy (2003) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 9 (2), pp. 93-96. , http://www.epilepsia.org.br/epi2002/JEp9-2.zipFernandes, P.T., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório da II Semana Nacional de Epilepsia (2004) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 10, pp. 245-247Fernandes, P.T., Leitão, L.M., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório do II Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2004) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 10, pp. 117-120Fernandes, P.T., Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Relatório do III Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2005) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 11, pp. 97-99Fernandes, P.T., De Souza, R.J., Li, L.M., Report of the III National Week of Epilepsy (2005) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 11 (4), pp. 205-207. , http://www.epilepsia.org.br/epi2002/JEp205-7.pdfFernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L.A., Gimenez, P., Coan, A.C., Ling, L.H., Li, L.M., V Semana Nacional de Conscientização da Epilepsia em Campinas (2007) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 13, pp. 197-200Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L.A., Gimenez, P., Ling, L.H., Coan, A.C., Li, L.M., Relatório do VI Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2008) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neuropshysiology, 14, pp. 85-8

    Introduction: Epilepsy is a common neurological condition. Unfortunately there are gaps in knowledge, diagnosis and treatment, and these have impact on economy and psychosocial well being of patients. Purpose and methodology: This article discusses the educational aspect of epilepsy, assuming that society in general knows very little about epilepsy, including professionals in general (health, education and social areas), patients and their families. Results and Conclusion: The Education Committee of Brazilian Branch of International League Against Epilepsy aims to promote improvement of knowledge on medical and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy through proposals that can be implemented in order to bring epilepsy out of the shadows.154172177Sander, J.W., The epidemiology of epilepsy revisited (2003) Current Opinion Neurology, 16 (2), pp. 165-170Jacoby, A., Stigma, epilepsy, and quality of life (2002) Epilepsy & Behavior, 3 (6 S2), pp. 10-20MacLeod, J.S., Austin, J.K., Stigma in the lives of adolescents with epilepsy: A review of the literature (2003) Epilepsy and Behavior, 4 (2), pp. 112-117. , DOI 10.1016/S1525-5050(03)00007-6Baker, G., The Psychosocial Burden of Epilepsy (2002) Epilepsia, 43 (SUPPL. 6), pp. 26-30Fernandes, P.T., Li, L.M., Percepção de estigma na epilepsia (2006) Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, 12 (4), pp. 207-218Guerreiro, C.A., Guerreiro, M.M., (1999) O Paciente Otimamente Controlado, , São PauloNoronha, A.L.A., Borges, A., Marques, L.H., Prevalence and Pattern of Epilepsy Treatment in Different Social-economic Classes in Brazil (2007) Epilepsia, 48 (5), pp. 880-885Borges, M., Li, L.M., Guerreiro, C.A., Urban prevalence of epilepsy: Populational study in São José do Rio Preto, a medium-sized city in Brazil (2004) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 62 (2 A), pp. 199-204Kale, R., Global Campaign Against Epilepsy: The treatment gap (2002) Epilepsia, 43 (SUPPL. 6), pp. 31-33Noronha, A.L.A., Marques, L.H., Borges, M.A., Cendes, F., Guerreiro, C.A.M., Min, L.L., Assessment of the epilepsy treatment gap in two cities of south-east of Brazil (2004) Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 62 (3 B), pp. 761-763Garcia-Ramos, R., Moreno, T., Camacho, A., Gonzalez, V., Bermejo, F., Neurological emergencies in a university hospital (2003) Neurologia, 18 (8), pp. 431-438Magalhães, L.V.B., Leme, R.S.R., Von Glehn, F., Zuiani, J.R., Bastos, R.R., Li, L.M., O que ensinar em neurologia na graduação médica?

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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
