    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Beatty, J.F., and the Law of Manslaughter

    No full text
    In this article, the author argues that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions in R. v. Beatty and R. v. J.F. have clarified several of the issues that have plagued the increasingly complicated offence of manslaughter. In particular, the decisions address the redundancy among the many manslaughter provisions in the Criminal Code, the need to define a clear separation between actus reus and mens rea, and the need to establish distinct categories of objective fault for different types of manslaughter offences. The author examines the legal background of these decisions as well as the current state of the law. He concludes by identifying emerging issues relating to the offence of manslaughter, arguing that the law remains convoluted and in need of urgent reform despite the progress made in the Beatty and J.F. decisions

    De afgelopen jaren (2010 - 2015) zijn er in Nederland vele in het oog springende waterbouwkundige projecten gerealiseerd. Aansprekende voorbeelden betreffen onder meer Maasvlakte 2, de Zandmotor, de ontpoldering van de Noordwaard en de omlegging van de Zuid-Willemsvaart. Ook in de lokale watersystemen zijn diverse interessante projecten gebouwd. Veel van deze projecten hebben zich aangemeld voor de prof. dr. ir. J.F. Agemaprijs, dé prijs voor het beste en meest innovatieve waterbouwkundige project dat daadwerkelijk gebouwd is. Dit boek toont foto’s en projectinformatie, en bevat achtergrondinformatie over de Agemaprijs en essays van experts. De verschillende projecten geven een fraai beeld van de veelzijdigheid en innovativiteit van de Nederlandse (water)bouwers. Het boek geeft inzicht in de huidige en toekomstige manier waarop deltagebieden kunnen worden ingericht.Delft University of Technolog

    Risk Factors for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Weaning Failure: A Systematic Review

    No full text
    <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and weaning failure are factors associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and increased morbidity and mortality. In addition to the burden these places on patients and their families, it also imposes high costs on the public health system. The aim of this systematic review was to identify risk factors for PMV and weaning failure. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The study was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. After a comprehensive search of the COCHRANE Library, CINHAL, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and the LILACS Database a PubMed request was made on June 8, 2020. Studies that examined risk factors for PMV, defined as mechanical ventilation ≥96 h, weaning failure, and prolonged weaning in German and English were considered eligible; reviews, meta-analyses, and studies in very specific patient populations whose results are not necessarily applicable to the majority of ICU patients as well as pediatric studies were excluded from the analysis. This systematic review was registered in the PROSPERO register under the number CRD42021271038. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 532 articles identified, 23 studies with a total of 23,418 patients met the inclusion criteria. Fourteen studies investigated risk factors of PMV including prolonged weaning, 9 studies analyzed risk factors of weaning failure. The concrete definitions of these outcomes varied considerably between studies. For PMV, a variety of risk factors were identified, including comorbidities, site of intubation, various laboratory or blood gas parameters, ventilator settings, functional parameters, and critical care scoring systems. The risk of weaning failure was mainly related to age, previous home mechanical ventilation (HMV), cause of ventilation, and preexisting underlying diseases. Elevated PaCO<sub>2</sub> values during spontaneous breathing trials were indicative of prolonged weaning and weaning failure. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> A direct comparison of risk factors was not possible because of the heterogeneity of the studies. The large number of different definitions and relevant parameters reflects the heterogeneity of patients undergoing PMV and those discharged to HMV after unsuccessful weaning. Multidimensional scores are more likely to reflect the full spectrum of patients ventilated in different ICUs than single risk factors
