Cefalea tensional: valoración diagnóstica y tratamiento en fisioterapia
No full textINTRODUCCIÓN: La cefalea de tipo tensional (CTT) supone entre el 22% y el 40% de los casos de trastornos de cefalea en la población general. Esta condición genera un impacto negativo en la economía, la vida laboral y en las actividades diarias de quienes la padecen. La CTT se caracteriza por un dolor de cabeza que puede durar horas o incluso días, usualmente de tipo opresivo o tensional, de intensidad leve a moderada y de localización bilateral. Cuando la cefalea se cronifica, factores como el estrés prolongado, el descanso inadecuado, ciertos patrones de pensamiento y creencias e incluso expectativas negativas pueden potenciar la conducta dolorosa. Será necesario realizar un diagnóstico diferencial de la CTT para no confundirla con la migraña crónica.
OBJETIVOS: Contribuir a la base de la evidencia científica para mejorar el abordaje terapéutico de pacientes con CTT y conducir a una mejor toma de decisiones clínicas en fisioterapia.
RESULTADOS: Tras aplicar las herramientas de valoración se pueden diagnosticar un total de 3 grupos. Cefalea con predomino de afectación musculoesquelética, cefalea con afectación musculoesquelética y del sistema nervioso autónomo (SNA) y cefalea con los dos componentes anteriores más sensibilización central.
CONCLUSIONES: La anamnesis detallada, la valoración clínica y la exploración física son necesarias para su diagnóstico. Un abordaje integral y biopsicosocial pueden mejorar significativamente la clínica y la calidad de vida estos/estas pacientes.

This condition has a negative impact on the economy, work life and daily activities of those who suffer from it. TTH is characterized by a headache that can last for hours or even days, usually of an oppressive or tension-like type, of mild to moderate intensity and of bilateral location. When the headache becomes chronic, factors such as prolonged stress, inadequate rest, certain thought patterns and beliefs, and even negative expectations can potentiate the pain behaviour. A differential diagnosis of TTH will be necessary so as not to confuse it with chronic migraine.
OBJECTIVES: Contribute to the scientific evidence base to improve the treatment approach in patients CTH and lead to better clinical decision making in the field or physiotherapy. ultimately leading to improved clinical decision-making in physiotherapy.
RESULTS: After applying the assessment tools, a total of 3 groups can be diagnosed. Headache with predominantly musculoskeletal involvement, headache with musculoskeletal and autonomic nervous system (ANS) involvement, and headache with the two previous components plus central sensitization.
CONCLUSIONS: A detailed history, clinical assessment and physical examination are necessary for diagnosis. A comprehensive and biopsychosocial approach can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of these patients.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
