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
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
Improving Toothbrushing Skills in School Children Towards Healthy Teeth and Cheerful Smiles
No full textDental caries is one of the oral health problems frequently experienced by elementary school-aged children. National data in Indonesia in 2023 showed that dental and oral health problems in the population over 3 years old were 56.9%, and around 57% in South Kalimantan Province. The purpose of this activity was to improve tooth brushing knowledge and skills in students at Elementery School Tambak Baru Ulu, Banjar Regency. This activity involved providing counseling and practicing tooth brushing together, accompanied by children\u27s songs about tooth brushing, and scaling for students with poor dental hygiene. The results of the activity showed that all students were present and actively participated (100%) in all stages of the activity. There were changes in students\u27 tooth-brushing knowledge and skills. Student knowledge increased, from only 30% to 75% with good knowledge. Students\u27 tooth-brushing skills also improved. This was evident from observations that the majority of students were able to practice brushing their teeth properly. Furthermore, the students\u27 dental and oral hygiene status improved after the scaling. It is recommended that such activities be conducted routinely in elementary schools, involving parents, so that their role in maintaining children\u27s dental and oral health can be more intensive and effective
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
M MASALAH KARIES GIGI DENGAN KUALITAS HIDUP PADA ANAK USIA 5-7 TAHUN DI KECAMATAN LANDASAN ULIN KOTA BANJARBARU KALIMANTAN SELATAN
Full text linkTarget pelayanan kesehatan gigi 2010 yang telah ditentukan oleh WHO antara lain 90% anak umur 5 tahun bebas karies dan anak umur 12 tahun mempunyai tingkat keparahan kerusakan gigi sebesar 1 (satu) gigi. Secara nasional Indeks DMF-T pada tahun 2013 sebesar 4,6. Hal ini menunjukkan rerata kerusakan gigi pada penduduk indonesia 5 buah gigi perorang.. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui angka karies gigi dengan kualitas hidup pada anak usia 5-7 tahun di Kecamatan Landasan Ulin Kota Banjarbaru Kalimantan Selatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi adalah seluruh anak usia 5-7 tahun di Kecamatan Landasan Ulin Kota Banjarbaru. Sampel penelitian sebesar 138 anak usia 5-7 tahun. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner ECOHIS dan pemeriksaan gigi geligi anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingginya angka karies gigi yang dialami anak usia 5-7 tahun sekitar 66,65 % dengan rerata def-t sebesar 9,05. Hasil pengukuran kuesioner ECOHIS diperoleh angka sekitar 44,2% anak yang mengalami karies gigi sering merasa kesulitan minum minuman panas atau dingin dan sekitar 27,5% anak tidak masuk sekolah atau tidak dititipkan di tempat penitipan. Pada penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa karies gigi pada anak dapat mengganggu kualitas hidup.

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
