Incisions, nœuds et réseaux – Les 100 ans de la Société Suisse de Chirurgie
No full textVom Nobelpreis für die Schilddrüsenoperation zur Osteosynthese als weltweit praktizierter Technik: Die Chirurgie in der Schweiz der letzten einhundert Jahre kann als Erfolgsgeschichte gelesen werden. Der Sammelband zum 100-Jahr-Jubiläum der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie geht tiefer und analysiert in vier medizinhistorischen Detailstudien die Hintergründe von medizinischen Erfolgen und organisatorischen Herausforderungen. Einige Reflexionen beleuchten zudem die heutige Chirurgie von der Ökonomisierung bis zur neueren Sakralisierung des von Chirurgen behandelten Körpers. Beiträge aus der chirurgischen Praxis skizzieren technisch-therapeutische Trends dieses Faches von der Organtransplantation bis zur «Schlüsselloch-Chirurgie».Du prix Nobel pour l’opération de la thyroïde à l’ostéosynthèse en tant que technique pratiquée dans le monde entier: ce dernier siècle, l’histoire de la chirurgie en Suisse peut être considérée comme celle d’une réussite. Le recueil consacré aux cent ans de la Société Suisse de Chirurgie va plus loin et analyse le contexte des succès médicaux et des défis organisationnels, dans le cadre de quatre études détaillées de l’histoire de la médecine. Quelques réflexions expliquent en outre la chirurgie actuelle, considérant l’aspect économique du corps traité par le chirurgien et sa plus récente sacralisation. Quelques articles sur la pratique chirurgicale présentent des tendances de techniques thérapeutiques de cette discipline, de la transplantation d’organes à la chirurgie minimale invasive
Key Leaders’ Opinion on Peri-Operative Risk Factor and Therapeutic Strategy in Lung Cancer Surgery
No full textPerioperative care remains a hot and controversial issue to thoracic surgeons with their multidisciplinary teams in the current clinical practice of lung cancer surgery. A better understanding regarding a series of effective and simple risk factors will provide significant assistance to identify which patients should be considered at high surgical risk. Subsequently, an accurate and personalized treatment scheme based on these putative prognostic factors will be vital to prevent the morbidity risk, enhance the surgical tolerability, and limit the unfavorable survival. Each contributing author has a particular interest in the selected hot subjects of modern perioperative medicine in lung cancer surgery, including body composition, host immune-nutritional status, tumor spread through air spaces (STAS), conversion to thoracotomy, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), elderly health care, protective ventilation, intraoperative fluid management, digital pleural drainage technology, lung ultrasonography, endoscopic intervention, etc. They have given their influential opinions by literature review, personal expertise, and outcome discussion from their works. In this way, this book can help the readers get a comprehensive scenario about the current research highlights of perioperative risk factor analysis and appropriate treatment options in lung cancer surger
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
