Enfermeros: quienes somos? Un estudio transversal de la imagen social del enfermero en la ciudad de Modena (Italia).
No full textObjetivos La averiguaciòn ha sido elaborada con el fin de indentificar cuales son los conocimientos de la poblaciòn modenese respecto a la profesiòn enfermerìstica y para poder asì describir la imagen social. Materiales y métodosHa siso entregado un cuestionario di trece preguntas a una muestra de la poblaciòn del municipio de Mòdena. El mismo ha sido elaborado consultando textos de historia de la profesiòn enfermerìstica y averiguaciones sociales anteriores . La esqueda de papel ha sido elaborada para poder relevar datos socioanagràficos e informaciones a través de preguntas cerradas y algunas abiertas. Los subjetos intervistados han sido escogidos con método casual en la sala de espera en la Oficina del anàgrafe del Municipio de Mòdena. Se ha logrado llegar a un total de 200 entervistas. Esta muestra representa aproximàdamente el 0,1% de la poblaciòn residente. Los datos han sido nuovamente elaborados utilizando los programas Access y Excel. ResultadosLa mayorìa de los subjetos intervistados ha recibido asistencia enfermerìstica, sobre todo en hospitales, hasta no màs de cinco anios anteriores a la entervista. Entre aquellos que nunca han recibido asistencia enfermerìstica la mitad tiene un familiar que sì la ha recibido. Poco màs de un tercio de los entervistados opina que para llegar a ser enfermero sea necesario cursar en la Universidad. De los dos tercios que quedan, uno opina que no conoce cual sea el recorrido formativo, el otro afirma que necesita cursar una escuela profesional. En fin sin embargo los enfermeros tengan una formaciòn universitaria desde màs de 10 anios, la mayorìa de las personas lo ignora.Los jòvenes, y quien tenga un doctorado, parece que sean los màs informados.La muestra intervistada percibe pocas posibilidades de carrera para los enfermeros. El jefe de enfermeros es la primera persona a ser nombrada y es también la ùnica. Muchos ,efectivamente, han mencionado este profesionaista, mientras 57 que han respondido han dicho de no saber que carrera sea posible para un enfermero Diez personas han afirmado que el enfermero no tiene posibilidades de avances de carrera, otros que puede llegar a ser médico o enfermero profesional. El trabajo diario del enfermero ha sido descrito mencionando muchas actividades. Entre las màs comunes encontramos la reparticiòn de la terapia, la suministraciòn de inyecciones y fleboclisis, la cura higiénica de los pacientes. El enfermero se ocupa también de hacer medicaciones, ayudar el mèdico, relevar algunos paràmetros, cuidar, dar la comida y escuchar los pacientes. Las actividades nombradas serìan aùn màs, pero ya éstas representan bien la opiniòn que las personas tienen de las actividades enfermerìsticas. De las respuestas se releva la descripciòn de una profesiòn con al centro la asistencia de base de la persona enferma o de apoyo al doctor. Es escaso el reconocimiento de la evoluciòn de la profesiòn y del empenio diario de los enfermeros con el fin de definir el proprio espacio de autonomìa y de colaboraciòn. Aùn sucede que el enfermero esté confundido con las figuras de los auxiliares y otros. El sueldo base medio actual de un enfermero es aproximàdamente de 1300€. Mientras las respuestas de los intervistados (43%) describen un sueldo inferior (900-1150), mientras el 27,5% supone un sueldo cerca a la realidad. Algunos (12,5%) piensan que quien ejerce esta profesiòn gane 650-850€ al mes, otros pocos cque un enfermero gane màs de 1600€. El enfermero eficiente es descrito como una persona que tiene pasiòn para su trabajo y humanidad hacia los pacientes. En segundo lugar debe de tener competencias técnicas y paciencia. Son sobre todo las mujeres a considerar importante esta ùltima caracterìstica. Para actuar la profesiòn enfermìstica son necsarias particilares actitudes de caracter. Quien tiene màs de 51 anios, considera màs importantes las competencias técnicoprofesionales. Mientras, los graduados en la Universidad consideran indispensable tener humanidad y espìritu de sacrificio.Los intervistados opinan que los aspectos màs satisfatorios de esta profesiòn sean el ayudar a los demàs y la realizaciòn personal. Sòlo quien posee la primaria opina que la ganancia sea satisfactoria. Los aspectos juzgados difìciles para enfrentar en al actividad enfermerìstica son el horario de trabajo y el contacto seguido con la enfermedad y el sufrimiento. Tambièn la cantidad de trabajo, la relaciòn con las personas y la ganancia son aspectos no satisfactorios. Las dificultades de carrera y el contacto intimo con las personas no parecen ser problemas particularmente relevantes. Poco màs de la mitad de los intervistados (53%) aconsejarìa a sus proprios hijos de llegar a ser enfermero, ya que esta profesiòn es socialmente ùtil, otorga satisfacciones y permite de ayudar a los demàs. Mientras la otra mitad (47%) no lo aconsejarìa porque considera esta profesiòn delicada, pidiendo sacificios y ganando poco. Ademàs obliga al contacto con enfermedades, no otorga posibilidades de avances de carrera y la consideraciòn social es muy escasa.Al contrario la profesiòn médica serìa aconsejada por garn parte de los intervistados (78%) ya que permite de ganar, de sanar las personas y de tener satisfacciones, ademàs la figura del médico es socialemente relevante.ConclusionesConcluyendo se puede afirmar que en la poblaciòn aùn esiste un escaso conocimiento de la evoluciòn que en estos anios ha caracterizado la profesiòn enfermerìstica en Italia. Demasiadas pocas personas tiene informaciones respecto al recorrido formativo de la laurea y de la adquisiciòn del tiìtulo de doctor. Las opiniones en lo especìfico del enfermero describen una profesiòn concentrada solo en la asistencia de base y hacia la persona inferma. Con la analisis de las respuestas abiertas no sobresalen seniales importantes respecto a los roles enfermerìsticos no clìnicos y a las funciones enfemerìsticas preventivas, riabilitativas y paliativas
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.
