No full textPerfil dos pais frente ao atendimento odontológico na primeira infância
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia.O presente estudo objetivou conhecer a perfil dos pais frente à saúde bucal de seus filhos, avaliando sua percepção frente ao atendimento odontológico na primeira infância e conhecendo a opinião dos mesmos quanto às técnicas de manejo de comportamento utilizadas em bebês. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo transversal. A amostra foi composta por 40 pais de crianças de zero a três anos de idade, atendidas na clínica de bebês da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina e Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário composto por 27 perguntas objetivas (entre questões abertas e fechadas) que abordavam informações relativas ao objetivo desta pesquisa. Para o estudo de associação entre as variáveis utilizou-se o teste do Qui-Quadrado ou Exato de Fisher. A maioria dos pais (45,5%) possuia segundo grau completo, onde 74,1% destes responderam utilizar a escova dental como maneira de higiene bucal de seus filhos (p= 0,048). O grande motivo que levou os pais à procura de atendimento odontológico de seus filhos ainda na primeira infância foi a prevenção de doenças da boca (47,5%). A maioria dos pais (52,5%) não recebeu nenhum tipo de informação prévia de qualquer profissional da saúde durante a gestação. Com relação às técnicas de controle de comportamento, 87,5% dos pais eram a favor da contenção física do bebê para possibilitar o atendimento clinico e 90% deles foram contra a possibilidade de sedação ou que a criança fosse submetida à anestesia geral para a realização de algum procedimento clínico. Concluiu-se que os pais são conscientes da importância da prevenção para a saúde bucal de seus filhos, porém existe uma necessidade de maior informação sobre saúde bucal ainda durante a gestação. Ainda assim, o uso de técnicas farmacológicas é visto com precaução pelos pais, fazendo com que a contenção física ainda seja a maneira mais aceita e a mais utilizada para o controle de comportamento da criança na primeira infância. This study aimed to assess parents' profile regarding their children's oral health, to evaluate parents' perceptions about pediatric dentistry in early childhood, and to verify their opinion regarding behavior guidance techniques used in babies. Across-sectional study was designed by descriptive transversal. The sample included 40 parents of 0-to-3-year-old children, attending Baby Clinic at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and at the Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina. A questionnaire containing 27 objective questions regarding information related to the aims of this study was used. Qui-square or Exact Fisher's Tests were used to evaluate association between variables. Most parents (45.5%) had complete college schooling, and 74.1% of them reported to use toothbrush as oral hygiene tool in their children (p= 0.048). The major reason for attending dental care services during early childhood was to prevent oral diseases (47.5%). Most parents (52.5%) had not received any information from a health professional during pregnancy. Regarding behavior guidance techniques, 87.5% of the parents agreed with baby's protective stabilization in order to allow clinical treatment, while 90% disagreed with either sedation or general anesthesia to carry out any clinical procedure. It is concluded that parents are aware about the importance of prevention in oral health for their children; however, more information is necessary about this issue during pregnancy. Furthermore, the use of pharmacological techniques is thought of worry for parents; this makes of protective stabilization the most accepted and used behavior guidance technique to control children's behavior during early childhood
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
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
