South African adult with epilepsy: co-occurrence of anxiety and depression case study
No full textA epilepsia é uma condição neurológica comum na África Subsaariana. Pessoas com epilepsia podem apresentar co-ocorrência de ansiedade e depressão. Embora numerosos estudos o tenham confirmado, há poucos estudos sobre os frequentes casos na África Subsaariana. Os objetivos desta revisão sistemática são: identificar a frequência de depressão e ansiedade co-ocorrentes em pessoas com epilepsia na África Subsaariana; e a frequência dessa co-ocorrência na epilepsia focal em comparação à epilepsia generalizada.
Para identificar artigos originais, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutoramento na África Subsaariana, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática com pesquisa manual e eletrónica do CINHAL, texto completo, PubMed, Science direct, Mednar, WorldCat e Open Access Theses and Dissertations,entre 25 de março e 15 de junho de 2020, com qualidade predefinida e critérios de inclusão.A qualidade metodológica dos estudos foi avaliada utilizando a Escala de Newcastle Ottawa (adaptada).Strengthening the reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) foi usada para avaliar os relatórios dos estudos.
A pesquisa gerou 159 estudos. Destes, 5 (4 transversais e 1 caso controle) foram elegíveis para inclusão na revisão sistemática. Todos os estudos apresentaram bons índices de qualidade metodológica. Os relatos de ansiedade e depressão coincidentemente com epilepsia na África Subsaariana variaram de 19,2% a 53,7%.
A pesquisa não produziu estudos que atendessem aos critérios de comparação entre epilepsia focal e generalizada. A co-ocorrência de ansiedade e depressão em pessoas com epilepsia é maior do que em pessoas sem epilepsia. Esses achados são consistentes com os de países ocidentais. Não foi possível comparar a co-corrência na epilepsia focal e generalizada. Há poucos estudos sobre o assunto, e ainda menos sobre a co-ocorrência na epilepsia focal e generalizada.Epilepsy is a common neurological condition in Sub-Saharan Africa. People with epilepsy may experience co-occurrence of anxiety and depression. Although numerous studies have confirmed this, there are few studies on the frequent cases in Sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this systematic review are: to identify the frequency of co-occurring depression and anxiety in people with epilepsy in Sub-Saharan Africa; and the frequency of this cooccurrence in focal epilepsy compared to generalized epilepsy.
In order to identify original articles, master's dissertations and doctoral theses in Sub-Saharan Africa, a systematic review was carried out with manual and electronic research of CINHAL, full text, PubMed, Science direct, Mednar, WorldCat and Open Access Theses and Dissertations, among 25 March and June 15, 2020, with predefined quality and inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (adapted). Lengthening the reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) was used to assess the results of study reports.
The research generated 159 studies. Of these, 5 (4 cross sectional and 1 control case) were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review. All studies showed good indexes of methodological quality. Reports of co-occurrence of anxiety and depression in epilepsy in Sub-Saharan Africa ranged from 19.2% to 53.7%.
The search did not produce studies that met the criteria for comparing focal and generalized epilepsy. The co-occurrence of anxiety and depression in people with epilepsy is greater than in people without epilepsy. These findings are consistent with those of Western countries. It was not possible to compare the co-occurrence in focal and generalized epilepsy. There are few studies on the subject, and even less on the co-occurrence of focal and generalized epilepsy
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
