    Pendahuluan: Diare merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan utama yang menyebabkan morbiditas dan mortalitas tinggi pada balita di Indonesia, termasuk di wilayah Kota Bandung. Faktor pengetahuan gizi dan sikap orang tua atau pengasuh berperan penting dalam kejadian diare pada balita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan gizi dan sikap orang tua atau pengasuh dengan kejadian diare pada balita. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan sampel 78 responden yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner terstruktur yang mengukur pengetahuan gizi, sikap terhadap kesehatan balita, dan kejadian diare pada balita. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji chi-square pada tingkat signifikansi 5%. Hasil dan Pembahasan: Sebanyak 55,1% responden memiliki pengetahuan gizi yang baik dan 52,6% menunjukkan sikap positif terhadap kesehatan balita. Prevalensi diare pada balita sebesar 35,9%. Hasil analisis menunjukkan hubungan signifikan antara pengetahuan gizi dengan kejadian diare (p = 0,0001; OR = 7,714; 95% CI: 2,686–22,153) serta sikap dengan kejadian diare (p = 0,014; OR = 3,753; 95% CI: 1,407–10,010). Kesimpulan: Pengetahuan gizi yang baik dan sikap positif orang tua atau pengasuh berhubungan signifikan dengan penurunan kejadian diare pada balita. Peningkatan edukasi gizi dan pembentukan sikap positif perlu menjadi fokus program kesehatan masyarakat

    Investigating Coordination Models for Integrated Hypertension Management in Public Health Facilities

    Fragmented management of hypertension in public health facilities remains a significant challenge in health care systems, especially in developing countries with an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases. This study aims to investigate the coordination model applied in integrated hypertension management in public health facilities, focusing on linkages between service actors, communication mechanisms, and role sharing across service levels. This study used a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews and participatory observation of 24 informants consisting of primary health workers, facility managers, and regional level policy makers. Data analysis was carried out through a thematic method with a grounded theory approach to identify effective coordination patterns. The results show that a collaborative network-based coordination model supported by digital information systems and cross-sectoral forums on a regular basis is able to improve the consistency of hypertension management, accelerate referrals, and strengthen patient monitoring on an ongoing basis. In conclusion, structural and functional integration between service units through adaptive and responsive coordination mechanisms makes an important contribution to strengthening the primary health system. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the development of chronic services coordination frameworks at the policy level as well as practical implications for system-based intervention design in public health facilities

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
