FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH QUALITY OF LIFE IN HIGH-RISK PREGNANT WOMEN
No full textObjective: To identify factors associated with a low quality of life in high-risk pregnant
women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 104 patients of a high-risk
prenatal clinic in a public hospital from August to November 2017, using the Ferrans and
Powers Quality of Life Index. The associations between sociodemographic and clinical-
obstetric characteristics and the quality of life were evaluated, using the prevalence ratios and
their respective confidence intervals (95%), using the chi-square test or Fisher exact test. A
multivariate analysis was performed using the Poisson regression among variables with p-
value ≤ 0.25. The significance level was p <0.05. Results: Women with no partner were 1.28
(95% CI 1.10-1.49) times more likely to be associated with low quality (p = 0.001), when
compared to women with partners. The other variables did not present statistical significance.
The most prevalent comorbidities were obstetric diseases. Conclusion: The absence of a
partner was the only variable directly associated to the low quality of life in high-risk
pregnant women.Objetivo: Identificar fatores associados à baixa qualidade de vida de gestantes de alto risco.
Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, que incluiu 104 pacientes, atendidas no
ambulatório de pré-natal de alto risco em um hospital público, de agosto a novembro de
2017, por meio do Índice de Qualidade de Vida de Ferrans e Powers. Foram avaliadas as
associações das características sociodemográficas e clínico-obstétricas com a qualidade de
vida destas gestantes, utilizando-se as razões de prevalência e seus respectivos intervalos de
confiança de 95%, através do teste qui-quadrado ou a prova exata de Fisher. Uma análise
multivariada foi realizada por meio da regressão de Poisson entre as variáveis com p ≤ 0,25.
Foi utilizado como nível de significância p < 0,05. Resultados: Mulheres sem parceiro fixo
apresentaram 1,28 (IC95% 1,10-1,49) vez maior probabilidade de estarem associadas à baixa
qualidade (p=0,001), quando comparadas às mulheres com parceiro. As demais variáveis não
apresentaram significância estatística de forma geral. As comorbidades mais prevalentes
entre as gestantes foram as doenças obstétricas. Conclusão: A ausência de um parceiro fixo
foi a única variável diretamente associada à baixa qualidade de vida em gestantes de alto
risco
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
El trabajo colaborativo en redes interconectadas y humanas: reflexiones y caminos para la formación docente
No full textEl proceso de Formación Docente, cuando se constituye a partir de las acciones originadas del ambiente de trabajo, establece la aproximación entre la teoría planteada y la práctica desde las necesidades constituidas. De esa manera, esta tesis doctoral nasce a partir de la inquietud por la reflexión acerca del trabajo pedagógico ante los cambios educativos emergentes del siglo XXI. Por eso, el objetivo fue analizar la influencia del Trabajo Colaborativo mediado por las redes interconectadas y humanas en las reflexiones sobre la formación docente. A partir de ahí, se diseñó una investigación mixta de paradigma cualitativo. La muestra fue conformada por 13 docentes y coordinadores pedagógicos de la Educación Primaria del 5to Año de la red de enseñanza de la ciudad de Serrolândia, Bahía. Para el sondeo de datos, se aplicaron algunas técnicas como Encuesta, Plan de Trabajo Colaborativo, Entrevista Narrativa, Focus Group. Entre los instrumentos aplicados estaban el Cuestionario y la Observación Directa. En los principales resultados, se subrayan la importancia del Trabajo Colaborativo en Redes Interconectadas y Humanas para la reflexión del proceso de formación y autoformación docente, así como la concientización acerca de la continua necesidad de estudio teórico-práctico de las Tecnologías Digitales de la Información y la Comunicación. De modo general, se concluyó que los docentes y los coordinadores pedagógicos desarrollan nuevas reflexiones sobre la formación y la autoformación a medida que se promueven la discusión y el planeamiento de acciones a partir de la propia realidad laboral, a través del principio colaborativo.Fil: Dos Reis Nunes, Rodrigo.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
