Comparação da recuperação da pressão arterial entre diabéticos tipo 2 e saudáveis após teste físico submáximo
No full textIntroduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 30% of deaths in Brazil. Risk factors include physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is one of the main factors contributing to severe cardiovascular diseases and renal and nerve complications. Regular physical activity can help reduce these risks, especially in diabetic patients, as it aids in lowering blood pressure, reducing vascular complications. Objective: To compare blood pressure recovery between individuals with type 2 diabetes and healthy individuals following submaximal exercise. Methodology: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from April to October 2024 at the Physiotherapy Laboratory of the Federal University of Amazonas in Coari/AM. It compared post-exercise blood pressure recovery between individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals. The sample was divided into two groups: diabetic individuals (fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL) and healthy individuals (without cardiovascular risk factors or comorbidities), selected by convenience from the Basic Health Units of Coari. Participants had their blood pressure measured after 10 minutes of seated rest and then performed the Glittre- ADL test, a physical circuit with a weighted backpack (2.5 kg for women and 5 kg for men). Blood pressure was measured seven times post-test (at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes) to assess recovery time. The study used ANOVA for descriptive analysis, the Shapiro-Wilk test to assess data normality, Pearson’s correlation for normal data, and Spearman’s correlation for nonparametric data, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Among diabetic individuals, 16.67% had hypertension, whereas the healthy group demonstrated faster systolic blood pressure recovery after exercise. Diabetic individuals showed a higher cardiovascular risk score (15.1 points), indicating elevated risk compared to the healthy group (3.5 points). In terms of non-modifiable risk factors, diabetic individuals had an average of 1.6 factors, while 77.8% of healthy individuals had none. Regarding modifiable factors, all diabetic individuals had at least one, with an average of 3.6 factors compared to 2.2 in the healthy group. Conclusion: Differences in systolic blood pressure recovery were observed between diabetic and healthy individuals following submaximal exercise, with slower recovery among diabetics and a moderate prevalence of hypertension. Despite sample limitations and age variations, the results highlight the importance of comprehensive monitoring and multi-risk factor control strategies to prevent complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes.Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares são as principais causas de morte no mundo, sendo responsáveis por 30% dos óbitos no Brasil, e têm como fatores de risco o sedentarismo, obesidade, hipertensão, dislipidemia e diabetes mellitus (DM). O DM é um dos principais fatores para doenças cardiovasculares graves e complicações renais e nervosas. A prática regular de atividade física pode reduzir esses riscos, especialmente em diabéticos, pois ajuda a diminuir a pressão arterial, reduzindo complicações vasculares. Objetivo: Comparar a recuperação da pressão arterial entre indivíduos diabéticos tipo 2 e saudáveis após o esforço físico submáximo. Metodologia: Estudo transversal analítico, realizado entre abril e outubro de 2024 no Laboratório de Fisioterapia da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, em Coari/AM, comparou a recuperação da pressão arterial pós-esforço entre indivíduos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e saudáveis. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: diabéticos (glicemia em jejum ≥126 mg/mL) e saudáveis (sem fatores de risco cardiovascular ou comorbidades), selecionados por conveniência nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Coari. Os participantes tiveram sua pressão arterial medida após 10 minutos de repouso sentado e, em seguida, realizaram o Glittre-ADL test, um circuito físico com uma mochila de peso (2,5 kg para mulheres e 5 kg para homens). A pressão arterial foi medida sete vezes após o teste (1’, 5’, 10’, 15’, 20’, 25’ e 30’ minutos) para avaliar o tempo de recuperação. O estudo utilizou ANOVA para descritiva, o teste de Shapiro-Wilk para avaliar a normalidade dos dados, correlação de Pearson para dados normais e de Spearman para dados não paramétricos, com um nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: Entre os diabéticos, 16,67% apresentavam hipertensão, enquanto o grupo saudável recuperou a pressão arterial sistólica mais rapidamente após o esforço. Os diabéticos apresentaram maior pontuação na estratificação de risco cardiovascular (15,1 pontos), indicando risco elevado, comparado ao grupo saudável (3,5 pontos). Em termos de fatores de risco não-modificáveis, os diabéticos tinham uma média de 1,6 fatores, enquanto 77,8% dos saudáveis não apresentavam nenhum fator. No caso dos fatores modificáveis, todos os diabéticos apresentavam pelo menos um, com média de 3,6 fatores, em contraste com a média de 2,2 entre os saudáveis. Conclusão: Foram observadas diferenças na recuperação da pressão arterial sistólica entre diabéticos e saudáveis após esforço submáximo, com uma recuperação mais lenta entre diabéticos e prevalência moderada de hipertensão. Apesar das limitações da amostra e das variações de idade, os resultados destacam a importância de acompanhamento integral e estratégias de controle de múltiplos fatores de risco para evitar complicações em indivíduos com diabetes tipo 2.1Nã
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.
