Yüksek Lisans Tezi, İstanbul Atlas Üniversitesi Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Anabilim Dalı, İstanbul. Çalışmanın amacı mekanik kökenli boyun ağrısında (MKBA) servikal spinal manipülatif (SSM) tedavi ile visseral osteopati (VO) tekniklerinin ağrı, boyun ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonu, boyun eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA), boyun ve dirsek kas gücü ve kavrama kuvveti üzerindeki akut etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 18-60 yaş aralığında MKBA tanısı konulmuş toplam 30 olgu dahil edilmiştir. Olgular randomize bir şekilde iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Servikal spinal manipülasyon grubuna yüksek hızlı, düşük amplitüdlü (YHDA) spinal manipülasyon uygulanmıştır, diğer gruba ise visseral osteopati teknikleri uygulanmıştır. Her iki tedavi tekniği de yalnızca bir kez uygulanmıştır. Ağrı düzeyi, Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) kullanılarak değerlendirilirken, fonksiyonellik Boyun Özürlülük İndeksi (BÖİ) ve Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları Anketi (DASH) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Boyun EHA değerlendirmesi gonyometre kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Boyun ve dirsek kas kuvveti MicroFET 2 dinamometresi ile kavrama kuvvetleri ise Camry marka dijital göstergeli el dinamometresi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Her iki grubun müdehale öncesi ve sonrası değerleri karşılaştırıldığında kraniovertebral açı, sağ dirsek fleksiyon ve kavrama kuvvetleri hariç diğer tüm kas kuvveti ölçümlerinde, VAS, BOİ ve DASH skorlarında anlamlı iyileşmeler olmuştur (p>0,05). Gruplar arası karşılaştırmada; servikal spinal manipülasyon grubu visseral osteopati grubuna göre; boyun fleksiyon, boyun ekstansiyon ve boyun sağa ve sola lateral fleksiyon ve sol dirsek fleksiyon ve ekstansiyon ve sağ dirsek ekstansiyon kas kuvvetlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı iyileşmeler göstermiştir (p>0,05). Çalışmaya göre MKBA'da SSM ve VO tekniklerinin ağrı, boyun ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonelliği, boyun ve dirsek kas kuvvetinde etkili olduğu belirlendi."Seyrek, C. (2024). A Comparison of Spinal Manipulative Therapy and Visceral Osteopathy Techniques in Individuals with Mechanical Neck Pain. Master's Thesis, Istanbul Atlas University Graduate School of Education, Department of Anatomy, Istanbul. The aim of the study is to compare the acute effects of cervical spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and visceral osteopathy (VO) techniques on pain, neck and upper extremity function, cervical range of motion (ROM), neck and elbow muscle strength, and grip strength in mechanical origin neck pain (MONP). A total of 30 subjects diagnosed with MONP in the age range of 18-60 were included in the study. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. High-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation was applied to the cervical spinal manipulation group, while visceral osteopathy techniques were applied to the other group. Each treatment technique was applied only once. Pain level was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while functionality was assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. Cervical ROM assessment was done using a goniometer. Neck and elbow muscle strength were evaluated using the MicroFET 2 dynamometer, and grip strengths were assessed using a Camry brand digital display hand dynamometer. When pre- and post-intervention values of both groups were compared, significant improvements were observed in all muscle strength measurements except craniovertebral angle, right elbow flexion, and grip strengths, as well as in VAS, NDI, and DASH scores (p>0.05). In intergroup comparisons; the cervical spinal manipulation group showed statistically significant improvements compared to the visceral osteopathy group in neck flexion, neck extension, neck lateral flexion to the right and left, as well as left elbow flexion and extension, and right elbow extension muscle strengths (p>0.05). According to the study, it was determined that SST and VO techniques are effective in pain, neck and upper extremity functionality, and neck and elbow muscle strength in MONP
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.
