La investigación en salud
Get PDFLa orientación de la investigación en salud, remontada a la creación por el Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación – COLCIENCIAS -, del Programa Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de la Salud, se sintoniza con los lineamientos de la Política Nacional de Fomento a la Investigación y la Innovación “Colombia Construye y Siembra Futuro”; y apunta a que la misma, produzca conocimiento que aporte al mejoramiento de la salud, de las condiciones de vida, de la equidad, del desarrollo social y por tanto del desarrollo económico de las regiones y poblaciones
Repitencia del programa de medicina en una institución de educación superior en la ciudad de Cartagena, 2015 /
Get PDFDiversas investigaciones tratan la deserción universitaria, pero poco se ha indagado sobre
la repitencia en la educación superior. En el presente estudio se buscó identificar los factores
asociados a la repitencia del programa de medicina en una institución de educación superior de la
ciudad de Cartagena y proponer un plan de mejoramiento frente a esto. Para determinar los
factores académicos, psicológicos, afectivos, personales, familiares y los relacionados con la
salud que posiblemente influyen en el proceso de repitencia en los estudiantes de la universidad,
se realizó un estudio no experimental correlacional con una muestra 148 estudiantes. Se empleó
un análisis bivariado sustentado en el estadístico ji cuadrado; la información se obtuvo de fuentes
primarias y secundarias recolectadas por los investigadores. El instrumento que se empleó para
la realización de este estudio fue construido y validado por el grupo investigador. El presente
estudio contó con el aval de la institución educativa cumpliendo con los lineamientos éticos bajo
los términos de la resolución 008430 del Ministerio de Salud de Colombia, la ley 84 de 1989 y a
los consignados en el código de ética de la institución. Los resultados muestran que
demográficamente el sexo predominante fue el femenino, la población no trabaja, las pruebas de
estado se encuentran en un nivel medio, el nivel educativo del padre y de la madre es
profesional, encontrando una asociación estadísticamente significativa con el nivel educativo de
la madre. Se concluyó que las variables en estudio que influyen en la repitencia del programa de
medicina en una institución de educación superior de la ciudad de Cartagena son los factores
sicológicos, cognitivos, personales y las relacionadas con la salud.Incluye referencias bibliográfica
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
