Development of a model marriage and family program at Olivet Nazarene University
Full text linkPlan BThis is not a scientific study with a specific population, data instrument, collection, analysis, and/or limitations. Rather it is descriptive in that this author has developed a model curriculum in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) for Olivet Nazarene University. Olivet Nazarene University began in 1907 offering education with a Christian purpose. It is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and approved by the State Department of Education in Illinois for both their bachelors and masters programs. Using their “Lock-step” approach makes it possible for 12-15 students to progress through ONU’s masters programs together. Classes are offered in the evening to better serve their clientele’s busy working schedules. Olivet Nazarene University provides a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling Program and is in an excellent position to add a Marriage and Family Therapy curriculum/program to their Graduate and Adult Studies Program. A Marriage and Family Therapy Program would afford a unique cross-curriculum between religion and family therapy, pastoral counseling and family therapy, nursing and family therapy, medical studies and family therapy, and also education and family therapy. A study of the fifty-year evolution of Marriage and Family Therapy revealed that pioneers in the field as well as those who followed brought with them a rich diversity in theory and practice. Specific standards to govern the Marriage and Family Therapy Programs began in 1959. These standards have been under constant review and revision since then. The Commission On Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) Version 10.0 Standards (Appendix A) went into effect in January 2001 and have specific objectives based on the systemic relational view of life. It is with these objectives that this writer developed curriculum/courses for the Marriage and Family Training Program. Diversity, socio-economic status, gender, age, culture, diversity, ethnicity, and religion are among the objectives considered. These new standards recognize that “Religiously affiliated institutions that have core beliefs directed toward conduct within their communities are entitled to protect those beliefs” (Preamble to Version 10.0 Standards, p. 1). According to Standards 100-109 accredited programs must include specific marriage and family educational curriculum, it must be systems related and the whole program must be sensitive to and respect diversity. Under the guidelines of Version 10.0 Standards provided by COAMFTE this writer has designed a Model Marriage and Family Therapy Curriculum proposal for Olivet Nazarene University. Under supervision of faculty, student/interns learn the systemic/relational aspects of Marriage and Family Therapy while working with individuals, couples, marriage and family, groups, and community, as they become trained Marriage and Family Therapists. Graduates of this program will have knowledge in Marriage and Family theory, an understanding of individual and family relations, research in Marriage and Family Therapy, clinical knowledge and experience, and an understanding of ethics and professional identity
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
