Reduction of Menstrual Pain (Dysmenorrhoea) with Lemongrass Aromatherapy Efleruage Massage Technique in Women of Fertile Age
Full text linkIntroduction Reproductive health problems in women are a complex problem. Common factors that cause reproductive health problems are the poor health status of Indonesian women, changes in sexual behavior (marrying young and having sex outside of marriage), poor nutrition, diseases that can affect reproductive health and poor environmental sanitation. One reproductive health problems caused by an environment with poor sanitation, namely vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge is a discharge from the vagina other than menstrual blood. Vaginal discharge that is too long and left can cause complications. Complications can occur because bacteria in the vagina can enter the uterine cavity then into the fallopian tubes and up to the ovaries and finally into the pelvic cavity. Method The type of research used is experimental research with a Posttest-Only Control Design approach where there are two groups, each selected randomly (R). Each group or sample, namely women of childbearing age who experienced vaginal discharge, were given treatment, but the treatment given was different. Group 1 was given water boiled with betel leaves and group 2 was given water boiled with turmeric. Result Based on statistical tests with a value of P: 1,000 > α: 0.05, Ho is accepted so it can be concluded that there is no difference in giving betel leaves and turmeric in treating vaginal discharge, in this case both betel leaves and turmeric can treat vaginal discharge. Conclusion It can be concluded that there is no difference in giving betel leaves and turmeric in treating vaginal discharge, in this case both betel leaves and turmeric can treat vaginal discharg
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

Hubungan Pola Makan dan Pola Istirahat dengan Kejadian Premenstrual Syndrome
Full text linkBackground: The developmental stage in adolescent girls is marked by menstruation, physical and emotional changes often occur before menstruation begins, this condition is usually called Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between eating patterns and rest patterns with the incidence of PMS in Level II D.III Midwifery Students at Megarezky University, Makassar. Method: This research uses an analytical observation method with a cross-sectional research approach. The sample used in this research was part of Level II female students, totaling 89 students. This sample collection technique uses probability sampling techniques including stratified random sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out in SPSS using the Chi-Square statistical test. Results: The results of the research show that there is a relationship between eating habits and rest patterns and the incidence of PMS in Level II midwifery students of the DIII Midwifery Study Program with a p-value for eating habits > (0.003) > α (0.05) and a ρ-value for Rest Pattern (0.004) < α (0.05). It is hoped that the results of this research can deepen female students\u27 understanding of PMS and help them maintain proper eating and resting habits
