Phytochemical and pharmacology effect of Calotropis gigantea as anti-cancer therapy: systematic review
No full textThe high prevalence of cancer in the world makes many researchers look for alternative therapies that can be used to treat cancer. One of them is by using traditional plants, namely Calotropis gigantea R.Br. This is due to alkaloids, glycosides, and tannins in plants that function as anticancer. The purpose of this study was to dig deeper into information related to the phytochemistry and pharmacology effect of Calotropis gigantea as an anticancer therapy and can be used as a reference for the development of traditional medicines. The method used is PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses), with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were selected for review. The results showed that Calotropis Gigantea contains Calotropin, Calotroposide A, oxypregnane oligoglycoside compounds, which inhibit cancer cell growth through the mechanism of apoptosis induction and ROS inhibition. From this systematic review, it can be recommended that the plant Calotropis gigantea can be further developed into standardized herbal medicine and phytopharmaceuticals
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Penggunaan aplikasi edukasi seksual dalam mendukung Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (usage of sexual education applications for Sustainable Development Goals, 2030)
No full textIncreasing sexual reproductive health information and knowledge about Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome in adolescents is one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, 2030. The use of sexual education applications helps educate adolescents that supports the achievement of these targets. This study describes the effect of sexual health education applications on adolescent knowledge and decreases the prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome to support the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This research is a literature study of articles published in NCBI, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The keywords used in the article search were: sex education, android application, Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and reproduction health. Inclusion criteria were articles published in 2016-2020, using English or Indonesian, original article, can be accessed in full text, free of charge and the manuscript content’s were relevant to the study. Review articles and duplicate journals were excluded. In this study, only ten of the 1250 articles met the inclusion criteria. Study shows that sexual education applications can increase adolescents' understanding of reproductive health, good and healthy sexuality, improve sexual attitudes and behavior, and also reduce the prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome that supports the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
