No full textAim of the study: To evaluate the opinion of academic staff and their assistance at faculty of Nursing / Ain shams University toward Faculty Leader Development Project (FLDP). Method : Tool of data collection: Arabic questionnaire contain open and closed ended questions. Sample: 76 staff and their assistance . Conclusion: It can be concluded that the majority of the staff benefited from the programs in form of increasing awareness about the potential needs for continuous improvement in acquisition of professional skills in education to nourish the teaching methodology and improve the educational outcomes. So results recommending meticulous assessment of staff professional needs and educational challenges before conduction of such this program
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
Nursing documentation in Maternity clinical practice : Reflection of actual nurse's work load
No full textThe purpose: is to evaluate nurses' attitudes toward documentation for endorsing patient care and its value as mean of communication. Also to identify the problems and barriers in the nursing documentation for reflecting actual nurse work Load from nurses’ perspective. Methods:1. Design :An exploratory descriptive study design was used. 2. Setting: The study was conducted over three months (March - May 2010) in pre natal ,post natal and nursery departments, at Al aziziah Maternity and children hospital, in Jeddah. 3. Sample; A total of (160 ) female nurses working at the wards of the study settings, 60 of them of different nationality were recruited thought simple random sampling 4. Tools; A questionnaire sheet was developed by researchers for data collection, also Likert rating scale consisting of 10 items divided into two sections: documentation barrier (5 items), and Documentation-tension (5 items). The research tools was generated through review of the literature and consultation with nursing experts. The descriptive statistics of mean was use to analyze the data with a criterion mean at 2.50.
Results:. The present study findings revealed significant percentages of nurses’ agreement upon the benefit of documentation to patient care ,(48.7%) reported that nursing notes always facilitate the movement toward the nursing goals, documentation leads to improve patient care recorded (30%). Furthermore, the majority had reported that documentation is always related to nursing care that provided to patient (61.7%). On the other hand, 41.7% were thinking that documentation is often an accurate reflection of patient nursing care. Concerning the value of documentation to the nurses, (51.7%) agreed that use of documentation are often more of help for nurses than load, while (38.3%) reported that nursing notes are often important to every health provider and documentation is not wasting of time. Regarding documentation barriers, (30%) had agreed upon that documentation is too heavily structured by quality assurance, and Workload demands hinder the completing of patient documentation. while (35%) agreed upon the statement that Shortage of staff work hinder completing of patient documentation. While only (16.7%) agreed upon the statement that Language barrier decrease quality of nursing documentation, and (21.7%) reported that documentation consist a lot of double-charting and repetition
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
