No full textLe procedure assistenziali applicate dall’ostetrica al parto fisiologico: effetti sul benessere fetali e neonatale. Revisione della letteratura e risultati di un’indagine conoscitiva su un campione di 48 ostetriche e di 105 puerpere
No full textL’OMS dichiara che lo scopo dell’assistenza al parto fisiologico è quello di “raggiungere l'obiettivo di madre e figlio in buona salute con il livello minore di intervento compatibile con la sicurezza. Questo approccio implica che nel parto fisiologico deve esistere una valida motivazione per interferire con l’evoluzione naturale”.
Ogni procedura assistenziale, che l’ostetrica applica durante il travaglio di parto, dovrebbe essere, quindi, accuratamente vagliata, non solo per i rischi e i benefici che essa può comportare, ma anche per il vissuto che può lasciare sull’esperienza del parto sia della madre che del bambino e sul loro primo incontro.
Viene svolta in questo lavoro un’indagine conoscitiva, in tre ospedali milanesi, su un campione di puerpere che hanno partorito spontaneamente dopo un travaglio fisiologico, per valutare il decorso del loro travaglio e per conoscere la loro opinione e il loro pensiero su come queste procedure possano influenzare il benessere del loro bambino.
In parallelo viene svolta un’altra indagine conoscitiva, che permetta di capire come le ostetriche, che lavorano nelle sale parto degli stessi ospedali, valutino le pratiche assistenziali che utilizzano durante il travaglio di parto fisiologico, oltre che per apprendere le loro opinioni e le loro conoscenze in merito a questo argomento
Con questa ricerca si ha la possibilità di comprendere quale deve essere il reale ruolo dell’ostetrica nell’accompagnare la donna e il suo bambino nel percorso della nascita, evidenziando anche l’importanza di piccoli gesti che, pur non richiedendo maggior tempo o maggior impegno, possono diventare fondamentali strumenti di supporto ad una nuova vita che già sta compiendo uno sforzo enorme per adattarsi ad un mondo così diverso da quello che ha sempre conosciuto.
Il travaglio di parto è un processo fisiologico che va rispettato: l’ostetrica deve essere in grado di tenere in considerazione ed accettare le scelte della donna e i tempi del bambino, mettendoli in condizione di portare a termine ciò che sono in grado di fare. Al feto deve essere offerta la possibilità di sfruttare tutto ciò che la natura gli ha donato per meglio adattarsi al mondo che lo accoglierà: dalla forza di gravità in travaglio al supporto del cordone ombelicale dopo la nascita. L’ostetrica dovrebbe quindi evitare di intervenire accelerando i tempi del parto, perchè una nascita più veloce non significa minor sofferenza per la donna e per il bambino
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
L'altro nell'Altro. Avanguardie poetiche nella Cina contemporanea
No full textLiterature convey the Way (wen yi zai dao), is a traditional Chinese notion that explains how Chinese literature has been strictly linked to politics since ancient times. The idea tha the value of literature could depend on this notion influenced the Chinese poetic production for centuries. It is only during the XX century, in particular since the end of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) that writers and poets begin to question the validity of this strong connection. It is the partial separation of literature from politics occured in the last three decades that contributed to the birth and development of what in China today is known as avant-garde poetry. This article briefly presents the evolution of Chinese poetry starting from the late 1970s, with the birth of an unofficial poetry scene with the Obscure Poets as its main expression, until the beginning of twenty-first century, when the develpoment of a new aesthetic, the so-called Earthly Aesthetic, attracted the attention of the Chinese literary realm
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
