The process of consulting with an organization to design an independent living skills program for youth in residential care
No full textThis dissertation focused on the process of designing an independent living program for adolescents that were victims of child abuse and neglect. These adolescents were removed from their families and placed in residential care due to the inability of their caretakers to care for them or the severity oftheir behavioral and emotional problems that resulted in a high degree of supervision and care. The context of this program is a residential treatment center in an urban setting. Maher's (2000) program planning and evaluation framework was used to facilitate the program design process. Current methodologies for teaching independent living skills in the treatment center and other programs informed the design methodology. This dissertation was conducted with the intention to develop a greater understanding of the independent living needs of children in out of home placements in order to provide recommendations and a program design that guides the assessment and program planning in residential settings that have a responsibility to address the independent living skills needs ofchildren in out ofhome placements. Maher's program planning and evaluation process consists of four phases which include the clarification phase, the design phase, the implementation phase and the evaluation phase. The current dissertation will focus on the clarification and design phases. During the clarification phase an assessment of the residents' independent living needs and relevant organizational context was conducted. The needs assessment revealed that the residents had significant trauma histories, extensive placement histories, poor academic achievement; in addition to, deficits in independent living skill acquisition and knowledge. A program was designed based on the identified needs. The program consisted ofpsycho-education and skill building related to interpersonal skills that facilitate one's ability to live independently. The program also includes an educational component which provides structured opportunities to research and practice during simulated experiences, and a resident life component which provided the opportunity to practice and be evaluated on the skills learned during psychoeducational counseling groups and academic coursework in real time settings. A description of the program is further detailed in this dissertation. Limitations of the dissertation are noted and recommendations are provided for future assessment, design, and implementation of the program.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical referencesby Ashleighann Pierre-Morga
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
