Os benefícios da aromaterapia no pós-parto
No full textEnquadramento: A realização do estágio de natureza profissional, espelhado neste relatório,
ao longo da primeira parte, permitiu o desenvolvimento de competências comuns e
especializadas para a obtenção do título de Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde
Materna e Obstétrica e grau de mestre em Saúde Materna, Obstétrica e Ginecológica. Na
componente de investigação que surge na segunda parte, analisou-se os benefícios da
aromaterapia no pós-parto, período na qual a mulher pode apresentar diversas alterações físicas
e/ ou psicológicas, que afetam o seu nível de energia, conforto e bem-estar. O recurso à
aromaterapia pode ser essencial nesta fase, auxiliando assim no processo de adaptação ao pós parto, papel parental e na qualidade de vida da mulher, casal e recém-nascido.
Objetivos: Descrever as experiências clínicas, fundamentadas em evidência científica, dos
vários estágios realizados; desenvolver as competências específicas do Enfermeiro Especialista
em Enfermagem de Saúde Materna e Obstétrica e competências comuns, tendo por base os
diferentes estágios, assim como o cumprimento das experiências mínimas exigidas;
compreender a existência de benefícios com a utilização da aromaterapia no período pós-parto.
Métodos/ procedimentos: Na primeira parte, realizou-se uma análise crítico-reflexiva da
prática clínica desenvolvida ao longo dos estágios, guiada pelo perfil de competências comuns
e específicas do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Materna e Obstétrica e no
cumprimento das experiências mínimas exigidas. Na segunda parte, referente à componente de
investigação, realizou-se uma scoping review, como primeiro estudo, no qual foram analisados
13 artigos, pesquisados em bases de dados científicas e realizou-se uma investigação qualitativa
do tipo fenomenológico, num segundo estudo, tendo por base o pressuposto de Van Manen,
acerca dos benefícios da aromaterapia no pós-parto. Selecionaram-se 12 participantes para
entrevista semiestruturada, sendo que os dados recolhidos foram alvo de análise suportada pelo
software MAXQDA 24.
Resultados: Contactar com a realidade das várias valências da atuação do Enfermeiro
Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Materna e Obstétrica, durante os estágios, permitiu a
aquisição de competências comuns e específicas do Enfermeiro Especialista, assim como o
cumprimento das experiências mínimas legalmente exigidas A análise dos 13 artigos, na
scoping review, publicados no idioma inglês, entre os anos 2012 e 2022, revelaram a existência
de benefícios da utilização desta terapia complementar no pós-parto. Da investigação
qualitativa emergiram quatro categorias nomeadamente, “Uso anterior da aromaterapia”,
“Aromaterapia no pós-parto”, “Experiência vivida” e “Perceção dos profissionais de saúde”,
revelando um impacto positivo com a utilização desta terapia, nos vários desconfortos, tendo
sido utilizada maioritariamente como alternativa à medicação convencional ou complementar,
sem efeitos adversos.
Conclusões: Através da conclusão da componente clínica foi possível obter o cumprimento das
experiências mínimas exigidas e a aquisição de competências comuns e específicas para a
obtenção do título de Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Materna e Obstétrica.
Na componente de investigação, tanto com a realização da scoping review como do estudo
qualitativo, compreendeu-se o benefício da aromaterapia nos desconfortos sentidos pela
puérpera, a nível físico, mental e emocional, pelo que a sua utilização pode ser útil, como terapia
natural.

Aromaterapia.Abstract
Background: The completion of the professional nature internship, reflected in this report,
throughout the first part, aimed at developing common and specialized skills to obtain the title
of Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing and a master's degree in Maternal,
Obstetric and Gynecological Health. In the research component that appears in the second part,
the benefits of aromatherapy in the postpartum period were analyzed, a period in which the
woman may experience various physical and/or psychological changes that affect her energy
level, comfort, and well-being. The use of aromatherapy can be essential at this stage, thus
assisting in the process of adaptation to the postpartum period, parental role, and the quality of
life of the woman, couple, and newborn.
Objectives: Describe the clinical experiences, based on scientific evidence, of the various
internships carried out; develop the specific skills of the Specialist Nurse in Maternal and
Obstetric Health Nursing and common skills, based on the different internships, as well as the
fulfillment of the minimum required experiences; understand the existence of benefits with the
use of aromatherapy in the postpartum period.
Methods/Procedures: In the first part, a critical-reflective analysis of the clinical practice
developed during the internships was conducted, guided by the profile of common and specific
competencies of the Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing and in the
fulfillment of the required minimum experiences. In the second part, related to the research
component, a scoping review was conducted as the first study, in which 13 articles were
analyzed, searched in scientific databases, and a qualitative phenomenological investigation
was conducted as a second study, based on Van Manen's assumption regarding the benefits of
aromatherapy in the postpartum period. Twelve participants were selected for semi-structured
interviews, and the collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA 24 software.
Results: Contact with the reality of the various aspects of the Specialist Nurse in Maternal and
Obstetric Health Nursing during the internships allowed for the acquisition of both common
and specific competencies of the Specialist Nurse, as well as the fulfillment of the legally
required minimum experiences. The analysis of the 13 articles in the scoping review, published
in English between the years 2012 and 2022, revealed the existence of benefits from the use of
this complementary therapy in the postpartum period. The qualitative research revealed four
categories, namely, "Previous use of aromatherapy," "Aromatherapy in the postpartum period,"
"Lived experience," and "Perception of healthcare professionals," showing a positive impact
with the use of this therapy on various discomforts, having been used mainly as an alternative
to or complement to conventional medication, without adverse effects.
Conclusions: Through the completion of the clinical component, it was possible to fulfill the
required minimum experiences and acquire common and specific competencies necessary to
obtain the title of Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing. In the research
component, both the scoping review and the qualitative study demonstrated the benefits of
aromatherapy in alleviating the physical, mental, and emotional discomforts experienced by
postpartum women, indicating that its use can be beneficial as a natural therapy.

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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
