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
Práctica pedagógica inclusiva: una oportunidad para jugar, aprender y participar en educación inicial
Get PDFLa educación inclusiva es una oportunidad de participación y aprendizaje para los niños y las niñas que llegan a nuestras escuelas, dado que la diversidad en las aulas es cada vez mayor y representa un reto tanto para el maestro como para la institución educativa. Es por ello, que este trabajo pretende por medio un estudio de tipo mixto, caracterizar una práctica pedagógica inclusiva en educación inicial, en el colegio Saludcoop Sur IED, e identificar que estrategias pueden favorecer el juego, el aprendizaje y la participación de los niños y las niñas en las actividades preescolares. Las práctica inclusiva en la escuela es una estrategia que permite el reconocimiento de la diferencia y el aprovechamiento de la diversidad como oportunidad de desarrollo social y cognitivo; además, hace posible el fortalecimiento de la solidaridad, el respeto y la ayuda mutua, enriquece la interacción, potencia las capacidades, propicia que todos los niños y las niñas sean reconocidos en su singularidad, puedan participar de todas las acciones que se proponen en la escuela y por supuesto aprendan.Maestrí
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

A terapia tem elementos comportamentais, cognitivos e técnicas de relaxamento que não envolvem componentes religiosos ou espirituaiss. O objetivo deste estudo foi explorar, conhecer e analisar os efeitos de 4 sessões de Mindfulness (versão adaptada) em 3 grupos cujas estratégias de aplicação do programa foram diferentes. Um dos grupos recebeu intervenção clássica, enquanto para os outros houve inclusão de práticas da psicologia positiva com relação ao construto da felicidade. Para avaliar os possíveis efeitos usaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: SF-36 para avaliação da qualidade de vida; escala de ansiedade, depressão e estresse (EADS); escala de felicidade subjetiva; entrevista semiestruturada; registros semanais. As avaliações foram feitas no início e no final da intervenção. Usou-se um desenho de pesquisa complementar, que combinou métodos quantitativos e qualitativos, que permitiram evidenciar efeitos positivos na saúde mental e na qualidade de vida dos participantes. De modo geral, observou-se uma diminuição nos índices de estresse, ansiedade e depressão e uma melhora no componente mental da qualidade de vida dos participantes do grupo em que houve inclusão de práticas da psicologia positiva. Conclui-se, portanto, que a associação de estratégias da psicologia positiva às de Mindfulness potencializa os benefícios que resultam em melhora do estresse, da ansiedade da depressão e da qualidade de vidaThere is evidence that the Mindfulness program, which seeks full consciousness, has been used to improve the quality of life on persons with anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic pain. The therapy has behavioral, cognitive, and relaxation elements and does not involve a religious or spirituals components. The objective of this study was to explore, to know and to analyze the effects of 4 sessions of Mindfulness (adapted version) in 3 groups whose application\'s strategies of the program were different. One of the groups received classic intervention, while for the others there was inclusion of practices related to the positive psychology in relation to the happiness construct. To evaluate the possible effects, the following instruments were used: SF-36 to evaluate the quality of life; anxiety, depression and stress (EADS); subjective happiness scale; semi structured interview; weekly records. Evaluations were made at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. A complementary research design was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, which allowed to show positive effects on the mental health and quality of life of the participants. Overall, there was a decrease in stress, anxiety and depression indexes and an improvement in the mental component of the participants\' quality of life. In conclusion, however, the association of positive psychology strategies to the Mindfulness potentializes the benefits which result in improve of stress, anxiety, depression and quality of lif
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
