Awareness of Physiotherapy intervention among medical practitioner of utter pardesh
No full textBackground: Physiotherapy is a kind of science that helps and supports the patient to live a healthy lifestyle. Physiotherapy working in India, the main source of reference is a medical practitioner. Physiotherapy is defined as a health care professionals dealing with human mobility and function maximizing the quality of one’s life and movement strength within the loop of prevention, promotion, treatment/intervention, habilitation, and rehabilitation. Still, there are people who aren’t aware of the kind of treatment it can provide. Hereby, the objective of this study is to know how much aware the medical practitioners are in terms of the importance and need for physiotherapy for the treatment of the patients.
Materials and Methods: Apparently, an approved questionnaire was sent through a Google form link to 250 medical practitioners of Uttar Pradesh. 124 responses were received and analyzed. Out of 124, 71 of the respondents were female and 53 were male. All willing medical practitioners from different streams along with graduates and super specialists were included, whereas students and non-internet users were excluded.
Result: From the study, it was learned that there is awareness regarding the term physiotherapy (), but specialization in physiotherapy is less known, maximum of the subjects were aware of specialization in orthopedics and specialization in women’s health, community-based rehabilitation and dermatology is least known. 79% of the medical practitioners have an objection in physiotherapist having the first contact with the patient.
Conclusion: The study revealed that there is a lack of awareness regarding assessment and treatment protocol provided by physiotherapy. However, doctors believe physiotherapist has a big role in treating ICU and immobilized patients. There is less information regarding radiation modalities as well as recent advances in rehabilitation

Awareness of Physiotherapy Interventions among Medical practitioners of Uttar Pradesh
No full textABSTRACT
Background: Physiotherapy is a kind of science which helps and supports the patient to live a healthy lifestyle. It plays a crucial role in rehabilitating a patient. Physiotherapy is defined as a health care profession dealing with human mobility and function maximizing quality on one’s life and movement strength within the loop of prevention, promotion, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation. Still, there are people who aren’t aware about the kind of treatment it can provide. In order to make attempts to make people aware, it is necessary to evaluate the level of awareness among medical practitioners. Hereby, objective of this study is to find out how much aware the medical practitioners are in terms of importance and need of physiotherapy for the treatment of the patients.
Materials and Methods: Apparently, a cross sectional pilot study was carried out based purely on questionnaire method, prior to the data collection the content validation of the questionnaire was executed by online Delphi method. Questions wording and the order of the questions underwent review by experts in the field of physiotherapy. Valid and approved questionnaire was sent through Google form link for the data collection. All willing medical practitioners from different streams along with graduates and super specialists were included, whereas students and non internet users were excluded. Responses of each and every participant were analyzed and were represented in percentage, graph or pie charts.
Result: There is awareness regarding the term physiotherapy (98.4%), but specialization in physiotherapy is less known, maximum of the subjects were aware about specialization in orthopedics and specialization in women’s health, community based rehabilitation and dermatology is least known. It was found out that 79% of the medical practitioners have objection in physiotherapist having first contact with the patient. Moreover, only 67.7% of the participants agreed to let a physiotherapist decide the physiotherapy treatment protocol.
Conclusion: The study revealed that there is lack of awareness regarding assessment and treatment protocol provided by physiotherapy. However, doctors believe physiotherapist has big role in treating ICU and immobilized patients. There is less information regarding radiation modalities as well as recent advances in rehabilitation.

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
