The Effect of Music Therapy on Childhood Anxiety among School-age Children
No full textOvaj pregledni rad temelji se na kritičkom prikazu šest kliničkih istraživanja. Fiziološki aspekti prikazuju dvosmjerni odnos stresa i anksioznosti te dvosmjerni odnos boli i anksioznosti. Neurološki aspekti dotiču dvije teorije: 'kontrole ulaza boli' i teoriju 'učinka glazbe na amigdalu'. Psihodinamički aspekti načelno su podijeljeni prema kliničkim opservacijama: a) anksioznost tijekom hospitalizacije, b) anksioznost tijekom medicinskog zahvata c) anksioznost prije kirurškog zahvata. Autori prve kliničke studije upućuju na opću korist interaktivne muzikoterapije s hospitaliziranom djecom na onkologiji/hematologiji na osnovi mjerenja ispitanika, iako rezultati roditelja ne potvrđuju poboljšanje raspoloženja djece školske dobi. Druga i treća studija zaključuju da istraživanja pokazuju pozitivan utjecaj muzikoterapije na psihološke i fiziološke parametre kod djeteta na najmanje četiri do osam sati te poboljšani HRQoL-a iz perspektive svih ispitanika. Autori četvrte i pete kliničke studije smatraju da istraživanja služe kao polazište za daljnja istraživanja odnosa između muzikoterapije, boli, tjeskobe i fiziologije u pedijatrijskoj populaciji jer su rezultati istraživanja nejasni i divergentni, ali su zato kvalitativni podaci pete studije osvijetlili načine na koje je muzikoterapija pomogla pacijentima. Šesta studija smatra kako rezultati pokazuju da prijeoperacijska muzikoterapija može pomoći u smanjenju anksioznosti kod djece i njihovih roditelja. Kroz svih šest studija ostaje nedefinirano jesu li uspješnije interaktivne ili receptivne intervencije muzikoterapije koje se bave anksioznošću.This review paper is based on a critical evaluation of six clinical research. The physiological aspects show a two-way relationship between stress and anxiety and between pain and anxiety. The neurological aspects touch upon 'the gate control theory of pain' and 'the effect of music on the amygdala'. The psychodynamic aspects are divided according to clinical observations: a) anxiety during hospitalization, b) anxiety during a medical procedure c) preoperative anxiety. The first clinical study points to general benefits of interactive music therapy for hospitalized pediatric cancer patients based on the evaluation of the subjects, although the parents results' do not confirm an improvement in the mood of school-aged children. The second and third study concludes that there is a positive impact of music therapy on the psychological and physiological parameters in children for at least four to eight hours and an improved HRQoL from the perspective of all subjects. The fourth and fifth study claims that this research serves as a starting point to further explore the relationship between music therapy, pain, anxiety and physiology in the pediatric population, because research results are unclear and divergent. The qualitative data of the fifth study present ways of how music therapy helped the patients. The sixth study states that preoperative music therapy can help reduce anxiety in children and their parents. Across all six studies, it remains undefined whether interactive or receptive music therapy interventions that address anxiety are more successful

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
