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
Letters to the editor
No full textRoutine restorative treatment that was deferred in the vast majority of dental practices due to COVID-19 may inevitably lead to further complications, including dentition deterioration, primarily in the form of substantial loss of tooth structure. While there is a lack of precise recommendations regarding the basic dental intervention (eg smoothing and stoning (S&S)), ambiguous interpretation of the execution of standard operating procedures (SOP) for the dental management of non-COVID-19 patients may disrupt clinical work and escalate the overuse of personal protective equipment (PPE).No Full Tex
Undetected central core disease myopathy in an infant presenting for clubfoot surgery
No full textA 1-year-old child was scheduled for two stage bilateral clubfoot surgery. Preoperative evaluation was normal and total intravenous anesthesia with a continuous sciatic nerve block was performed. Two months later, before the second clubfoot correction, a hip subluxation was evident suggesting a provisional diagnosis of neuromuscular disease. Anesthesia was identical, except that a femoral nerve block, necessary to permit a diagnostic muscle biopsy was performed. The perioperative course was uneventful but result of the muscular biopsy was surprising in that central core disease was diagnosed. Although congenital myopathies of all grades and severity exist, they are often mild and underestimated. Patients affected by central core disease are considered susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. Because a high prevalence of myopathic changes is reported in children undergoing clubfoot surgery, anesthesiologists must take precautions including a hightened awareness of these events and a high ..
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
Sedation in dentistry: current sedation practice in Italy
Full text linkAim: To report information about the current sedation practice in Italy. Methods: National survey to collect data about current sedation practice in Italy. Results: There are in Italy 33 Dental Schools, 18.921 dentists and 34.625 physicians working as dentists. Sedation is taught in most of the Dental Schools, and some Universities also have postgraduate education programs on sedation. Sedation in Italy is provided by anaesthesiologists (94%) and dentists (6%). Italian guidelines for sedation in dentistry were published by the Italian Association of Dental Anaesthesia (AINOS). Conclusions: Sedation teachers in Italy are anaesthesiologists, but conscious sedation is not their preferred topic. This teaching is mainly theoretical, while practical training is lacking in the majority of the Dental Schools. Sedation for paediatric and/or disabled patients is rarely carried out, because these patients are mainly treated with general anaesthesia. In the academic setting anaesthesiologists perform most of the dental sedations. Sedation techniques depend on the knowledge of the teachers, skill of clinical staff and available resources of the Institution. There are no standards for sedation in dentistry produced by public Authorities but AINOS has published guidelines covering many aspects of sedation in dentistry
