PSYCHOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY OF PERSONS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS TO THE EFFECTS OF A COVID-19 PANDEMIC
No full textCiljevi: Provedeno istraživanje imalo je sljedeće ciljeve: ispitati razlike u anksioznosti, depresivnosti i stresu među osobama koje su prije psihoterapijski liječene i osoba koje nisu psihoterapijski liječene; ispitati razlike u simptomima PTSP-a među osobama koje su prije psihoterapijski liječene i osoba koje nisu psihoterapijski liječene; ispitati prediktorski značaj prijašnjeg psihoterapijskog liječenja na pojavnost depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa.
Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno online primjenom samoprocjenskih upitnika tijekom ožujka i travnja 2020. godine. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 1234 ispitanika od kojih oko 388 s psihičkim poteškoćama.
Prosječna je dob ispitanika 39 godina. Mjerni instrumenti korišteni za dokazivanje hipoteza jesu sljedeći upitnici. 1. Upitnik depresije, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS), 2. PCL-5 upitnik za procjenu simptoma PTSP-a 3.
Upitnik općih podataka koji je pripremljen za potrebe ovog istraživanja. U radu su korištene metode deskriptivne statistike kojima su prezentirane srednje vrijednosti, i to aritmetička sredina i medijan, te standardna devijacija i interkvartilni raspon kao pokazatelji odstupanja od srednje vrijednosti. Ispitanici su podijeljeni u dvije skupine, i to skupinu ispitanika s psihičkim poteškoćama i skupinu ispitanika koji nisu navodili postojanje psihičkih smetnji. Ispitivanje razlika u numeričkim vrijednostima između promatranih skupina provedeno je Mann-Whitney U testom, dok je utjecaj psihoterapije na depresivnost, anksioznost i stres (DASS) ispitan regresijskom analizom.
Rezultati: Rezultati provedenog istraživanja pokazuju da su razine anksioznosti, depresije, stresa te simptomi posttraumatskoga stresnog poremećaja značajno više izraženi kod ispitanika koji se psihoterapijski liječe u odnosu na one koji nisu nikada liječeni. Isto tako utvrđen je prediktorski značaj prijašnjeg psihoterapijskog liječenja na više razine depresije, anksioznosti i stresa. Rezultatima studije potvrđene su sve tri istraživačke hipoteze.
Zaključak: Zaključeno je da skupina ispitanika koja je psihoterapijski liječi pokazuje više psihološko opterećenje za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 u odnosu na populaciju koja nikada nije psihoterapijski liječena.Objectives: The conducted research had the following objectives: to examine the differences in anxiety, depression and stress between persons who had previously been treated with psychotherapy and persons who had not been treated with psychotherapy; to examine differences in the symptoms of PTSD between people who have previously been treated with psychotherapy and people who have not been treated with psychotherapy; finally, we aimed to examine the predictor significance of earlier psychotherapeutic treatment to the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Methods: The research was conducted online using self-assessment questionnaires during March and April 2020. The study involved 1234 participants, of whom 388 with mental disabilities. The average age was 39 years. The measurement instruments used to prove the hypotheses were the following questionnaires:
1. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire (DASS), 2. PCL-5 Questionnaire for Assessing PTSD Symptoms and 3. General Data Questionnaire, which was prepared for the purposes of this study. Following methods of descriptive statistics were used: mean values, arithmetic mean, median, standard deviation and interquartile range as indicators of deviation from the mean. Participants were divided into two groups, a group of respondents with mental disabilities and a group of participants who did not report the existence of mental disorders. Difference in numerical values among the observed groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Impact of psychotherapy on depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) were examined by regression analysis.
Results: The results of the study showed that the levels of anxiety, depression, stress and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder were significantly higher in subjects previously treated with psychotherapy than in untreated subjects. The predictor significance of previous psychotherapeutic treatment to higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress was also determined. The results of the study confirmed all three research hypotheses.
Conclusion: It was concluded that the group of subjects who were treated with psychotherapy showed a higher psychological load during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the population that was never treated with psychotherapy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
