The Effect of The Use of Gloves on Complaints of Skin Disorders (Dermatitis) in Fish Sorting Workers in Fish Auction Places (TPI) at Pantai Labu District
Get PDFHealth is a right for workers who are in the formal and informal sectors, as well as fishermen who especially work in the fish sorting section are very vulnerable to skin diseases. This is because most fishermen do not want to use gloves while working due to inconvenience reasons. Prevention efforts that can be done by implementing a work system using gloves starting from the beginning of work until the end of work. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using gloves on complaints of skin disorders (dermatitis) in fish sorting workers at the fish auction place (TPI) Pantai Labu District. This type of research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental approach to the research design of one group pretest posttest. Using the Purposive Sampling technique with a sample of 32 respondents. Data collection using the Observation sheet. The statistical test in this study used the Wilcoxon test to see the difference in the average results between the pre-test and post-test. The average difference in complaints of skin disorders (dermatitis) before being given an intervention was 2.31 and after being given an intervention of 1.84, which means that there was a significant effect on reducing complaints of skin disorders in workers. The results of this study indicate that there is an effect of using gloves on complaints of skin disorders (dermatitis) in workers in the fish sorting section at the fish auction place (TPI) Pantai Labu District with the results (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Workers should get used to using gloves. hands while working, To minimize complaints of skin disorders (dermatitis) that are felt so that workers are more productive in doing their work
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
The Effectiveness of Providing Counseling in Efforts do Improve Knowledge and Dietary Patterns of Low Purine Diet in Gout Arthritis Patients at Bintang Bayu Health Center Serdang Bedagai
No full textBackground: Gout arthritis is one of the non-communicable diseases that commonly affects the elderly due to a high-purine diet and lack of nutritional knowledge. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of counseling in increasing knowledge and low-purine dietary patterns in patients with gout arthritis. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The sample consisted of 22 elderly patients with gout arthritis at Puskesmas Bintang Bayu. Data were collected through a knowledge questionnaire, 24-hour food recall, and in-depth interviews. The results showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge (p=0.001) and dietary patterns after the counseling intervention. Most respondents showed behavioral changes in consumption that aligned with a low-purine diet and increased diet adherence. Low-purine diet counseling is effective in increasing knowledge and dietary patterns in patients with gout arthritis. Therefore, it is recommended to continue implementing this program
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
