Everyone needs to do their part : A qualitative study on socialworkers experiences of suicideprevention within social services
No full textSyftet med studien var att undersöka hur socialarbetare på socialtjänsten upplever socialtjänstens suicidpreventiva arbete. För att besvara studiens syfte användes kvalitativ metod, där sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med socialarbetare på socialtjänsten i olika kommuner. En dataanalys gjordes med inspiration från kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Det teoretiska ramverket för studien utgjordes av en organisationsteoretisk ansats med tillhörande, relevanta begrepp. Resultatet visade att intervjupersonernas upplevelser i många avseenden liknade varandra, då samtliga uppgav att det suicidpreventiva arbetet kan bli bättre. Det visade också att antalet förtjänster som kunde identifieras var färre än antalet brister och förbättringsområden gällande suicidpreventivt arbete på socialtjänsten. Till sist visade resultatet att samtliga intervjupersoner upplevde att högre ledning brister i att utveckla det suicidpreventiva arbetet samt att ansvariga skulle kunna göra mer i frågan. Slutsatsen som kunde dras utifrån detta var att det suicidpreventiva arbetet på socialtjänsten är befintligt, men bristande. Att antalet förbättringsområden översteg antalet förtjänster visar tydligt på just det. Slutsatsen kunde också dras kring att det huvudsakliga ansvaret för att utveckla det suicidpreventiva arbetet ligger på respektive kommuns politiker, men att ansvaret i lika hög grad ligger på varje enskild individ. Alla behöver helt enkelt dra sitt strå till stacken.The purpose of the study was to investigate how social workers within social services experience the social service's suicideprevention work. In order to answer the purpose of the study, a qualitative method was used, where six semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers within the social services in different municipalities. A data analysis was done with inspiration from qualitative content analysis. The theoretical framework for the study consisted of an organizational theoretical approach with associated, relevant concepts. The result showed that the experiences of the interviewees were in many aspects similar to each other, as all stated that the suicideprevention work could be improved. It also showed that the number of merits that could be identified was fewer than the number of shortcomings and areas for improvement regarding suicideprevention work within social services. Finally, the result showed that all interviewees felt that higher management is lacking in developing suicideprevention work and that those responsible could do more in the matter. The conclusion that could be drawn from this was that the suicideprevention work within the social services is present, but lacking. That the number of improvement areas exceeded the number of merits clearly shows just that. The conclusion could also be drawn that the main responsibility for developing suicideprevention work lies with the respective municipality's politicians, but that the responsibility lies equally with each individual.

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
