CLINICAL AGREEMENT ANTARA LEPTOTEK LATERAL FLOW DENGAN LEPTOTEK DRI-DOT PADA PENDERITA LEPTOSPIROSIS BERAT DI RUMAH SAKIT SE-KOTA SEMARANG
No full textBackground : Leptospirosis, a zoonosis caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira, is endemic in Indonesia. Clinical features of leptospirosis range from mild, anicteric, non-specific febrile illnesses to severe disease with renal failure, liver impairment and hemorrhagic manifestations. Leptospirosis may resemble other tropical and infectious diseases such as influenza, dengue fever, typhoid fever, acute hepatitis, severe malaria, and other viral hemorrhagic with/without renal failure. Microscopic aglutination test (MAT) is a definitive serological test for laboratory confirmation of leptospirosis but is test is not widely available in Indonesia, time —consuming and need special trained laboratory personel. Two rapid diagnostic tests for leptospirosis, LeptoTek Lateral Flow TM bioMerieux bv,Boxtel,NL) and LeptoTek Dri-DotThA (bioMerieux bv,Boxtel,NL) are now commercially available. Both test are simply to perform, require no special equipment, and the result are readily available within 10 minutes and 30 seconds, respectively.
Objective of study : To evaluate the clinical agreement between the two rapid tests in the diagnosis of Leptospirosis.
Methods : During cross-sectional study for the evaluation of diagnostic performance of the tests, a kappa index agreement was calculated.
Result : Fifty-five patients were included in the study, consisted of 45 patients with severe leptospirosis ( n = 45), 9 patiens with clinically resembled mild or severe leptospirosis [dengue fever (n=l), typhoid fever (n=3), acute hepatitis B virus (n=2), sepsis (n=2) and cronic renal failure (11---1)J, and 5 healthy controls.
All patients sera were tested to LeptoTek Lateral Flowmt and LeptoTek Dri-Doirm by different evaluators. The results of both assays showed 100% agreement beyond chance (kappa index = 1.0).
Conclusion: LeptoTek Lateral Flow and LeptoTek Dri-Dot demonstrated a perfect agreement. Both tests may be interchangeably used for the laboratory diagnosis of leptospirosis..
Latar Belakang : Leptospirosis,adalah penyakit hewan yang disebabkan oleh spesies pathogen leptospira, yang endemis di Indonesia. Gambaran klinisnya bervariasi dari ringan seperti ainicterik, panas yang tidak spesifik sampai pada gejala yang bent disertai gagal ginjal, kelainan fungsi hepar, serta adanya manifestasi perdarahan. serta gambaran yang mirip dengan penyakit infeksi yang lain, seperti influenza, demam dngue, demam tifoid, hepatitis akut, malaria bent dan beberapa demam yang disebabkan oleh virus, dengan manifestasi perdarahan, dengan atau disertai gagal ginjal. Mikroaglutinasi tes (MAT) adalah tes serologi definitif, untuk konfirmasi leptospira, tetapi tes ini tidak tersedia secara luas di Indonesia, disamping ineinedukan waktu yang lama dan memerlukan tenaga laboratorium yang terlatih. Dua metode rapid tes untuk pemeriksaan leptospira, LeptoTek Lateral Flown4(bioMerieux bv, Boxtel, NL) dan LeptoTek Dri-Dotwm (biolvIerieux by, Boxtel,NL) telah diperkenalkan. Kedua tes ini sangat simple, tidak membutuhkan peralatan khusus, dan hasil sangat cepat dan dibutuhkan waktu masing-masing 10 menit dan 30 detik.

Kesimpulan : LeptoTek Lateral Flow dan LeptoTek Dri-Dot menunjukkan hosil
kesesuaian yang sangat baik, kedua tes dapat sating menggantikan dalam menegakkan diagnosis leptospirosis
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
