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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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

Hubungan Asupan Makanan Berisiko Dan Aktivitas Fisik Dengan Kejadian Diabetes Melitus Tipe II Di Kota Kupang
No full textDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious threat to health development and ranked 6th as a cause of death. About 1.3 million people die from diabetes and 4% die before age 70 (Infodatin, 2014). In the province of East Nusa Tenggara, this disease ranks 19th has increased to 3 times compared to 2007. Cases of diabetes mellitus in the city of Kupang vary greatly in each age group wherein 2014 the proportion of the highest cases was at age 65-75 years totaling 780 people (Kupang City Health Profile, 2014). High energy intake from pure carbohydrates will stimulate insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells as compensation to increase blood sugar levels. At a certain level, compensation efforts will not be able to compensate for insulin resistance so insulin insufficiency will arise with glucose intolerance (Waspadji et al., 2003). Polikandrioti and Dokoutsidou (2009), said obesity and lack of physical activity are also directly closely related to insulin resistance as is the characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was to analyze the relationship between risky food intake and physical activity with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. observational study with a case-control design. The population is 52,965 people living in the city of Kupang. The total number of samples was 234 people who met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 117 cases of type 2 diabetes and control group of 117 people who did not have type 2 diabetes mellitus taken in 2 stages: the first stage was to determine the cluster of research areas, and second consecutive sampling was taken. The measuring instrument used is the questionnaire International Physical Activity Activity Test (IPAQ), format Food Recall 24 hours and semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questioner (FFQ), Food Model, Waist ruler/tape measure. Data were analyzed using a Chi-Square test to see the relationship between; food intake is at risk with visceral obesity, visceral obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus, food intake at risk with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To see the relationship between body activity with visceral obesity and body activity with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus using Pearson Chi-Square. The results of an analysis of the bivariate energy intake test for the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, had an OR of 2.543 with 95% CI = 1.4-4.3 and (p-value 0.001). Fat intake for type 2 diabetes mellitus has an OR of 1.530 with 95% CI = 0.9-2.5 and (p-value 0.142). Fiber intake for type 2 diabetes mellitus has OR 0.760 with 95% CI = 0.4-1.2 and (p-value 0.370). Visceral obesity in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has an OR 2.510 with 95% CI = 1.4-4.2 and (p-value 0.001). Energy intake for the incidence of visceral obesity has OR 28,292 with 95% CI = 13,3-59,8 and (p-value 0,000). Fat intake for the incidence of visceral obesity had OR 23.435 with 95% CI 11.4-47, 8 and (p-value 0.000). Fiber intake on the incidence of visceral obesity has OR 4.959 with 95% CI = 2.7-8.8) and (p-value 0,000). In the case group, the results of statistical tests of activity on visceral obesity found a p-value of 0.246 which means that physical activity was not associated with the incidence of visceral obesity. While the control group statistical test results obtained p-value 0.000 means that there is a relationship between physical activity and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Penyakit Diabetes Melitus (DM) merupakan ancaman serius bagi pembangunan kesehatan dan menduduki peringkat ke-6 sebagai penyebab kematian. Sekitar 1,3 juta orang meninggal akibat diabetes dan 4% meninggal sebelum usia 70 tahun (Infodatin, 2014). Di propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur, penyakit ini menduduki peringkat ke 19 telah meningkat menjadi 3 kali lipat dibanding tahun 2007. Kasus diabetes mellitus di Kota Kupang sangat bervariasi pada setiap golongan umur dimana pada tahun 2014 proporsi kasus tertinggi adalah pada usia 65-75 tahun berjumlah 780 orang (Profil Kesehatan Kota Kupang, 2014). Asupan energi yang tinggi yang bersumber dari karbohidrat murni akan memacu sekresi insulin oleh sel beta pankreas sebagai kompensasi meningkatkan kadar gula darah. Pada batas tertentu, usaha kompensasi tidak akan dapat mengimbangi resistensi insulin sehingga akan timbul insufisiensi insulin dengan adanya intoleransi glukosa (Waspadji et al.,2003). Polikandrioti dan Dokoutsidou (2009), mengatakan obesitas dan kurangnya aktifitas fisik juga secara langsung berkaitan erat dengan resistensi insulin sebagaimana ciri dari diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan antara asupan makan berisiko dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Jenis penelitian studi observasional dengan rancangan case-control. Populasi sebanyak 52.965 orang berdomisili di wilayah Kota Kupang. Jumlah sampel seluruhnya adalah 234 orang yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi, terdiri dari kelompok kasus sebanyak 117 orang yang menderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 dan kelompok kontrol sebanyak 117 orang yang tidak menderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 diambil melalui 2 tahap yaitu tahap pertama menetapkan kluster wilayah penelitian, dan kedua pengambilan sampel secara consecutive sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah kuesioner International Physical Activityuestionnaire (IPAQ), formatFood Recall 24 jam dan semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questioner (FFQ), Food Model, Waist ruller/pita ukur. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square untuk melihat hubungan antara; asupan makanan berisiko dengan obesitas visceral, obesitas visceral dengan diabetes mellitus tipe 2, asupan makanan berisiko dengan diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Untuk melihat hubungan aktivitas tubuh dengan obesitas visceral dan aktivitas tubuh dengan kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2 menggunakan Pearson Chi Square. Hasil analisis uji bivariat asupan energy terhadap kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2, memiliki OR sebesar 2,543 dengan 95% CI= 1,4-4,3 dan (p-value 0,001). Asupan lemak terhadap kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2 memiliki OR 1,530 dengan 95% CI= 0,9-2,5 dan (p value 0,142). Asupan serat terhadap kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2 memiliki OR 0,760 dengan 95% CI= 0,4-1,2 dan (p-value 0,370). Obesitas visceral terhadap kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2 memiliki OR 2,510 dengan 95% CI= 1,4-4,2 dan (p value 0,001). Asupan energy terhadap kejadian obesitas viseral memiliki OR 28,292 dengan 95% CI= 13,3-59,8 dan (p value 0,000). Asupan lemak terhadap kejadian obesitas viseral memiliki OR 23,435 dengan 95% CI 11,4-47, 8 dan (p value 0,000). Asupan serat terhadap kejadian obesitas viseral memiliki OR 4,959 dengan 95% CI= 2,7-8,8) dan (p-value 0,000). Pada kelompok kasus hasil uji statistik aktivitas terhadap obesitas visceral didapatkan p value 0,246 artinya aktivitas fisik tidak berhubungan dengan kejadian obesitas visceral. Sedangkan kelompok control hasil uji statistic didapatkan p-value 0.000 artinya bahwa terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan kejadian diabetes mellitus tipe 2
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.
