The Relationship Of Close Kinetic Chain Exercise To Functional Ability In Osteoarthritis Patients At The Citra Medika Health Center Lubuklinggau City
Get PDFFunctional ability refers to a person's capacity to perform tasks related to daily activities, which involves multiple joint and muscle groups to enhance stability. The research addresses the issue of increasing numbers of osteoarthritis patients experiencing functional impairments. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between close kinetic chain exercise and the functional disability of elderly individuals with osteoarthritis in the Citra Medika Health Center area, Lubuklinggau City.This research employs a quantitative method with a pre-test and post-test design. The treatment group will receive theraband exercise therapy. The study's population consists of 253 individuals, with a sample size of 10 people. The data types include both primary and secondary data. Data analysis is conducted using paired t-test statistics (a parametric test).The findings reveal that the average functional ability score before the close kinetic chain exercise intervention for osteoarthritis patients in the Citra Medika Health Center area, Lubuklinggau City, was 54.50. After the intervention, the average functional ability score improved to 44.70. This indicates a significant relationship between close kinetic chain exercise and functional ability in osteoarthritis patients, with a p-value of 0.000.This research is expected to provide the Citra Medika Health Center in Lubuklinggau City, as well as the relevant professionals, with valuable data and theoretical insights to enhance the quality of nursing care services for osteoarthritis patients by implementing standardized procedures for exercise therapy.carrying out closed kinetic chain exercises in the routine activities of the Community Health Center
Effect Of Infant Massage On Increasing The Duration And Frequency Of Breastfeeding In Infants Aged 3-6 Months At Al Farid Lubuklinggau Clinic
Get PDFThe problem of low coverage of breast milk in infants is one of the short duration of breastfeeding, efforts to increase the desire of infants to breastfeed by doing baby massage. The research problem is that there are still many infants whose duration and frequency are not long in breastfeeding at the Al Farid Clinic Lubuklinggau. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of baby massage on the duration and frequency of breastfeeding in infants aged 3-6 months at the Al Farid Clinic Lubuklinggau. The study used a Pre-Experimental research design using One Group Pretest-Postest. The population was 92 people and a sample of 10 people. The types of research data are primary and secondary data. Analysis of breastfeeding duration data using the Paired T-Test test statistic (parametric test) and analysis of breastfeeding frequency using the Wilcoxon test (nonparametric test). The results of the study obtained the average value of breastfeeding duration in infants aged 3-6 months before baby massage was 12.30 and the average value of breastfeeding frequency in infants aged 3-6 months before baby massage was 5.50. The average value of breastfeeding duration in infants aged 3-6 months after baby massage was 17.40 and the average value of breastfeeding frequency in infants aged 3-6 months after baby massage was 7.60. The results of the study obtained the values value of breastfeeding duration of 0.000, meaning ≤ 0.05 and the value value of breastfeeding frequency of 0.002, so it can be concluded that there is an effect of baby massage on the duration and frequency of breastfeeding in infants aged 3-6 months at the Al Farid Clinic Lubuklinggau. For the Al Farid Clinic Lubuklinggau, in order to be able to routinely implement the SOP for baby massage and to be able to provide counseling and education on breastfeeding duration and frequency to all breastfeeding mothers
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
