Occupational justice-bridging theory and practice
No full textThe evolving theory of occupational justice links the concept to social justice and to concerns for a justice of difference: a justice that recognizes occupational rights to inclusive participation in everyday occupations for all persons in society, regardless of age, ability, gender, social class, or other differences. The purpose of this descriptive paper is to inspire and empower health professionals to build a theoretical bridge to practice with an occupational justice lens. Using illustrations from a study of leisure and the use of everyday technology in the lives of very old people in Northern Sweden, the authors argue that an occupational justice lens may inspire and empower health professionals to engage in critical dialogue on occupational justice; use global thinking about occupation, health, justice, and the environment; and combine population and individualized approaches. The authors propose that taking these initiatives to bridge theory and practice will energize health professionals to enable inclusive participation in everyday occupations in diverse contexts.

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
Occupational rights hos demente på omsorgssentre
No full textBakgrunn: Antallet eldre i befolkningen vil øke i fremtiden, dermed vil også antallet eldre med demens øke. Demenssykdommer påvirker hjernens funksjoner, og påvirker utførelsen av aktivitet. Oppgaven tar utgangspunkt i hverdagen til eldre demente som bor på omsorgssentre. Litteratursøk viser lite forskning på akkurat dette området. Hensikt: Målet med denne oppgaven er å få ny kunnskap på dette området. Det var også ønskelig å belyse de eldre dementes valg og muligheter til aktivitet i hverdagen, og undersøke hvordan personalet arbeider for å fremme dette. Metode: Kvalitativ metode er brukt for å komme frem til resultatene. Seks intervjuer med seks ulike informanter ble gjennomført. Det er benyttet en kvalitativ innholdsanalyse for å analysere intervjuene. Resultater og konklusjon: Personalet streber etter å arbeide mest mulig likt for å skape en forutsigbar hverdag for brukerne. De jobber også med å tilrettelegge aktiviteter og fokuserer på sosial trivsel i miljøet. Resultatene viser at personalets syn på aktiviteter skiller seg fra det ergoterapeutiske synet på aktivitet
Occupational rights for dementia residents in care homes

Dementia disease affect the brain’s functions and affect the performance of activity. This thesis is based on the daily lives of older people with dementia living in care homes. Literature search shows little research on this particular area. Purpose: The aim of this assignment is to gain new knowledge on this area. It was also desirable to elucidate the elderly dementia’s choices and opportunities for everyday activities, and examine how the staff work to promote this. Method: A qualitative method is used to achieve the results. Six interviews with six different informants was conducted. A qualitative content analysis has been used to analyze the interviews. Results and conclusion: The staff strives to work as equal as possible to create a predictable everyday life for the residents. They also work to organize activities and focus on social well-being in the environment. The results show that the staff’s view of activity differs from the occupational therapists’ view of activity
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
