This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate a factor related to the behavior of fall prevention among elderly in Chonburi Province. The samples were 370 elderly aged 60 and above. An Interviewing questionnaire was used as research tools for data collection. The questionnaire comprised 6 parts: demographic information and history of falls; fall prevention beliefs; skills for assessing risky environment in own home; home environment; encouragement andstimulation from family, and fall prevention behavior. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics percent, mean, standard deviation and Chi-square test.
The finding showed that approximately 44.1% of elderly fall at least one time in prior year. Fall prevention behavior of elderly was at the highlevel. The factors associated with fall prevention behavior consisted of gender (P = 0.01), their belief in fall prevention (P >0.01), and fear of falling (P>0.01).
The findings of this study led to the understanding in fall prevention belief together with fall prevention behavior. Rewrite as this basic information could be used for the health personnel to continually increase the effectiveness of health promotion in fall prevention among elderly.

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
In Search of Best Practices for Improving the Operational Efficiency of the Primary Healthcare Hospitals in Thailand through Benchmarking
Get PDFBackground: Thailand\u27s public health policy emphasizes equitable access to healthcare services, leading to a rapid increase in primary healthcare demands. Enhancing efficiency has become a crucial solution to address this challenge, especially amidst the constraints of limited resources.
Aims: To measure the operational efficiency of sub-district or tambon health-promoting hospitals (THPHs) in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) by applying the mathematical technique of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and to identify best practices from efficient THPHs that can be applied to improve the operational efficiency of other THPHs.
Methods: First, the operational efficiency of 104 THPHs in Chachoengsao, a province in EEC, was measured using the DEA method. Second, 13 efficient THPHs were selected as benchmarks for operational best practices. In-depth interviews were conducted with five individuals from each selected THPH, including the director and four key stakeholders. The interview data were analyzed and synthesized using directed content analysis to formulate a list of best practices. Finally, the identified best practices were evaluated using the Delphi technique to produce a final list of best practices to improve the operational efficiency of THPHs.
Results: 76 best practices were initially generated from the content analysis of the benchmark interviews. However, after the Delphi experts\u27 evaluation, 66 best practices met the required criteria (Mdn > 3.50 and IQR < 1.50) and were ultimately accepted as potential general strategies for improving the efficiency of THPHs. Of these, 35 best practices were related to input management, and 31 were related to output management
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
