Illness TB / HIV: the effects of sense from the perspective of discursive coinfected individuals in a municipality in the state of São Paulo
No full textThis is a qualitative based study, supported by methodological theoretical framework
Speech Analysis of French Matrix, which seeks to understand these production
processesin the relation of langua get o the historical and social externality of the
subject. The study aimed to analyze the senses produced by the disease processin
patients with TB/HIV. This proposal was developed with patients using the Care Center
of Chronicle Infections of a city in the São Paulo state. The data collection was divided
into two stages :the first stage was collected by the multi-professional team, through the
Book of Registration and Monitoring of Tuberculosis Cases Treatment, the National
Disease Reporting Information System(Sinan), TBWEB and socio demographic data in
order to characterize the subjects of this investigation. In the second stage individual
interviews were conductedwith06TB /HIV co-infected patients; the interviews were
semi-structured and audio-recorded. The transcriptions were organized with
ATLAS.ti7software feature, which facilitated the organization of empirical data. The
results of this research demonstrate that some subject sin the interview and patient
position assume a standard circulating conception in society, in which HIV is
inextricably linked torisky behaviors (drug use and unprotected sex) that propitiate
infection by this virus. In addition, was possible to observet he importance of the link
between the patient and the health professional in strengthening and continuity of
treatment. Considering the above, there is the need to strengthen the recommendations
by the Health Ministry about the co-infection TB /HIV using health strategies or actions
not only to patients and health professionals, but also t of families and care givers of
these patients.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Trata-se de um estudo com a abordagem qualitativa, sustentado no referencial teórico
metodológico Análise de Discurso de matriz francesa, o qual busca compreender os
processos de produção de sentidos na relação da língua com a exterioridade histórica e
social do sujeito. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar os sentidos produzidos pelo
processo de adoecimento em doentes com TB/HIV. Esta proposta foi desenvolvida com
pacientes que perpassam pelo Centro de Atendimento de Infecções Crônicas de um
município do interior do Estado de São Paulo. A coleta de dados dividiu-se em duas
etapas: A primeira etapa foi coletada junto a equipe multiprofissional, por meio do
Livro de Registro e Acompanhamento de Tratamento de Casos de Tuberculose, ao
Sistema de Informação de Notificação de Agravos Nacional (Sinan), do TBWEB, dados
sócios demográficos a fim de caracterizar os sujeitos desta investigação. Na segunda
etapa foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com os 06 sujeitos coinfectados TB/HIV,
sendo estas semiestruturadas e áudio-gravadas. As transcrições foram organizadas com
recurso do software ATLAS.ti 7, o qual facilitou a organização dos dados empíricos. Os
resultados desta investigação demonstram que alguns sujeitos na posição de
entrevistados e doentes, assumem uma concepção padrão circulante na sociedade, na
qual o HIV está intrinsecamente ligado a comportamentos de risco (uso de drogas e
relações sexuais sem proteção) que propiciam a infecção por este vírus. Além disso, foi
possível observar a importância do vínculo entre o doente e o profissional de saúde, no
fortalecimento e continuidade do tratamento. Diante do exposto, há necessidade do
fortalecimento das recomendações pelo Ministério da Saúde acerca da co-infecção TB /
HIV utilizando-se de estratégias ou ações de saúde voltadas não somente aos doentes e
profissionais da saúde, mas também aos familiares e cuidadores desses doentes
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.
