Sleep habits and psychosocial determinants of sleep habits of adolescents in Celje municipality
No full textUvod: Spanje predstavlja enega od gradnikov našega zdravja in vpliva na kakovost življenja v vseh starostnih obdobjih. Še posebej občutljiva skupina glede spanja so mladostniki, saj je mladostništvo obdobje rasti in razvoja, zdravo spanje pa je izredno pomembno za optimalno rast, razvoj in delovanje mladostnika. Hkrati je mladostništvo ključno obdobje za oblikovanje spalnih navad v odrasli dobi. Spanje ima pomemben vpliv na osnovne fiziološke procese, spoznavne funkcije, vedenja in čustva mladostnika. Mladostniki v povprečju spijo premalo. Pomanjkanje spanja ima pomembne negativne kratkoročne in dolgoročne učinke na zdravje mladostnika. Zaradi vpliva na zdravje mladostnikov je pomanjkanje spanja resen javnozdravstveni izziv, kar je v obdobju mladostništva treba ustrezno naslavljati. Za izboljšanje spalnih navad med mladostniki je treba raziskati spalne navade in psihosocialne dejavnike, ki vplivajo na oblikovanje spalnih navad in krepitev zdravega spanja. Za raziskovanje potrebujemo preveden in validiran vprašalnik, katerega rezultati lahko nadalje služijo oblikovanju intervencij, ki bodo temeljile na medsektorskem sodelovanju ter upoštevale vidik mladostnikov, staršev in učiteljev. Namen: Namen magistrskega dela je prevod, kulturna adaptacija ter validacija dveh vprašalnikov o spalnih navadah v pediatrični populaciji (angl. Pediatric Sleep Practices Questionnaire – PSPQ) ter psihosocialnih dejavnikih spalnih navad in zdravega spanja mladostnikov (angl. Psychosocial Determinants of Sleep Behavior and Healthy Sleep – PSD) in na podlagi slovenskega vprašalnika raziskati spalne navade ter psihosocialne dejavnike spalnih navad in zdravega spanja celjskih osmošolcev. Metode dela: Prevod in kulturna adaptacija vprašalnika o spalnih navadah pediatrične populacije in vprašalnika o psihosocialnih dejavnikih spalnih navad in zdravega spanja, vsebinska validacija obeh omenjenih vprašalnikov in izvedba presečne epidemiološke raziskave med osmošolci v Mestni občini Celje v februarju 2024. Rezultati: Pridobili smo dva vsebinsko veljavna in zanesljiva slovenska vprašalnika, in sicer vprašalnik o spalnih navadah v pediatrični populaciji (PSPQ – SI) ter vprašalnik o psihosocilnih dejavnikih spalnih navad in zdravega spanja mladostnikov (PSD – SI), ki sta pokazala, da celjski osmošolci spijo premalo, njihov urnik spanja pa je nedosleden. Razprava in zaključek: Za dvig ravni zdravega spanja in izboljšanje spalnih navad ter posledično izboljšanje zdravja in počutja mladostnikov potrebujemo uspešne javnozdravstvene intervencije, ki bodo kontinuirano naslavljale mladostnike, starše in učitelje.Background: Sleep is one of the building blocks of health, affecting our quality of life at every stage of life. Adolescents are particularly sensitive when it comes to sleep because adolescence is a period of growth and development. Healthy sleep is thus extremely important for adolescents to grow and develop optimally and function well. At the same time, adolescence is a crucial period for establishing sleep patterns that will persist into adulthood. Sleep significantly impacts basic physiological processes, cognitive functions, behaviour, and emotions in adolescents. On average, adolescents do not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can have significant negative short- and long-term effects on adolescent health. Sleep deprivation has a significant impact on adolescent health and is a serious challenge to public health that requires appropriate attention during this stage of life. In order to improve sleep behaviour among adolescents, it is neccessary to investigate sleep behaviour and psychosocial determinants that inlfuence the formation of sleep behaviour and promotion of healthy sleep. For research purposes, we require a translated and validated questionnaire. The results can then be used to develop cross-sectoral interventions that take into account the perspectives of adolescents, parents and teachers. Aim: The aim of this master\u27s thesis is to translate, culturally adapt, and validate two questionnaires: the Paediatric Sleep Practices Questionnaire – PSPQ, and the Psychosocial Determinants of Sleep Behaviour and Healthy Sleep – PSD. The aim is to use the Slovenian questionnaire to investigate the sleep behaviour and psychosocial determinants of sleep behaviour and healthy sleep among eight-graders in Celje. Methods: Translation and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire on sleep behaviour of the paediatric population and the questionnaire on psychosocial determinants affecting sleep behaviour and healthy sleepcontent validation of both questionnairesand conducting a cross-sectional epidemiological study among eight-graders in the Municipality of Celje in February of 2024. Results: We obtained two Slovenian questionnaires that are both substantively valid and reliable: a questionnaire on sleep behaviours in the paediatric population (PSPQ-SI), and a questionnaire on the psychosocial determinants of sleep behaviours and healthy sleep in adolescents (PSD-SI). These questionnaires showed that eight-graders in Celje are not getting enough sleep and have inconsistent sleep schedules. Discussion and conclusion: To improve sleep health and behaviours, and consequently the health and well-being of adolescents, we need successful public health interventions that continuously address adolescents, parents, and teachers
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
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
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.
