The knowledge about security and potentially risky behavior on the Internet among nursing students in Pula
Get PDFCilj istraživanja: Provjera potencijalnog rizičnog ponašanja na računalu studenata sestrinstva u Puli anonimnom anketom u kojoj je ispitano koliko su studenti upoznati sa sigurnošću korištenja interneta te o čuvanju vlastitih podataka. Na temelju dobivenih odgovora te usporedbe s referentnim istraživanjem, odnosno prosječnim korisnikom interneta, može se zaključiti koliko je tko potencijalno rizičan prilikom korištenja interneta. Nacrt studije: Ispitivanje je provedeno kao presječno. Ispitanici i metode: U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo 38 studenata preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva. Ispitivanje je provedeno upotrebom validiranog znanstvenog upitnika „Upitnik znanja i rizičnog ponašanja korisnika informacijskog sustava“ (UZRPKIS) sastavljenog od 33 pitanja koja se ocjenjuju bodovima na Likertovoj ljestvici od 1 do 5, pri čemu ponuđeni odgovori imaju različita značenja. Rezultati: Čak 97,4% studenata nikada ne otkriva tajni PIN bankovne kartice, a jednak postotak je i onih koji nikada ne odgovaraju na mailove nepoznatih pošiljatelja. Nažalost, samo 73,7% nikada neće otvoriti nepoznati privitak poslan mailom, 23,7% ispitanika rado će podijeliti pristupne podatke računalu, dok će se gotovo polovica, njih 44,7%, redovno prijaviti na račun e-pošte na javnom mjestu. Njih 63,2% misli da će mu možda netko ukrasti novac s bankovnog računa, a 26,4% prilično su ili potpuno uvjereni da će im netko ukrasti identitet na internetu. Porazan je podatak da čak 42,1% nikada ili gotovo nikada ne zaključava računalo bez nadzora, a njih troje (7,9%) nikada se ne odjavljuje s računala nakon završetka rada. Od šest subskala koje su obrađene, u dvije subskale interval odgovora lošiji je od referentnog istraživanja, dok su u četiri subskale pulski studenti pokazali bolje poznavanje računalne tehnologije. Zaključak: Uspoređujući obrađeno istraživanje s prijašnjim istraživanjem, može se zaključiti kako se studenti preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva iz Pule ne ponašaju rizičnije na internetu od prosjeka, ali lakše odaju pristupne podatke računalu. Pozitivno je što su svjesniji važnosti zaštite svojih podataka te da su komunikacijski kanali nesigurni, ali svejedno prevelik je broj iznimaka koji kvare ukupan rezultat. Također, svjesniji su važnosti pravilne pohrane podataka.Objectives: The aim of the research was to check upon the potential risky behaviour of nursing students in Pula by an anonymous opinion poll in which they were asked about the level to which they were familiar with the safety of Internet use and the preservation of personal information. Based on the obtained results, and in comparison to the reference research, i.e. the average Internet user, it can be concluded who is under potential risk while using the Internet and to what extent. Study design: Cross-sectional study Respondents and methods: There were 38 students of the university undergraduate study of nursing participating in this research. The research was conducted by using the validated questionnaire „Questionnaire on the knowledge and risky behaviour of information system users“ which consists of 33 questions evaluated by points on a five-point Likert scale. The answers offered have different meanings. Results: As many as 97.4 % of students never reveal their secret bank card pin, and the same amount of them never answers to emails sent by unknown senders. Unfortunately, only 73.7 % of them would never open an unknown attachment sent by email. There are 23.7 % of respondents who would happily share their computer access data, while almost half of them, or 44.7 %, regularly log in to their email account in a public place. As many as 63.2 % of them think that someone could steal money from their bank account, while 26.4 % of them are quite or completely sure that someone could steal their identity on the Internet. It is a devastating data that even 42.1 % of them never or almost never lock their unattended computers, while three of them (7.9 %) never log out of their computers after finishing work. Out of the six processed subscales, there are two subscales where the answer interval is worse than in the reference research, while in the remaining four subscales the Pula students show a better understanding of computer technology. Conclusion: By comparing the processed research to the former one it can be concluded that students of the undergraduate study of nursing in Pula do not behave riskier on the Internet than the average student, but they reveal their computer access data more easily. It is positive that they are aware of the importance of their personal data protection, and that communication channels are unsafe, but there are still a large number of exceptions that ruin the result. They are also more aware of the importance of correct data storage

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istražiti zadovoljstvo pacijenata komunikacijom sa zdravstvenim osobljem na različitim razinama zdravstvene zaštite. Specifični ciljevi uključivali su utvrđivanje preferiranog načina komunikacije s pacijentima, istraživanje zadovoljstva pacijenata različitim načinima komunikacije te utvrđivanje učestalosti i razloga poteškoća u razumijevanju medicinskih informacija.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 374 pacijenta iz svih županija Republike Hrvatske koji su dobrovoljno pristali ispuniti Upitnik o zdravstvenom osoblju i pacijentima.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 374 ispitanika iz cijele Republike Hrvatske. Najviše ispitanika bilo je ženskog spola (85,03%), s najvećim udjelom u dobnoj skupini od 31 do 40 godina (36,63%). Većina ispitanika ima srednju stručnu spremu (47,06%). Analiza je obuhvatila komunikaciju sa zdravstvenim osobljem u primarnoj, sekundarnoj i tercijarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti. Najviše zadovoljstva ispitanici su pokazali komunikacijom u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti, osobito putem elektroničke pošte. Ispitanici su također izrazili pozitivan stav prema važnosti komunikacije između zdravstvenog osoblja i pacijenata. Nije uočena značajna povezanost među zadovoljstvom komunikacijom i povjerenjem u medicinsko osoblje te doživljavanjem poteškoća u razumijevanju medicinskih informacija s obzirom na spol ispitanika. Međutim, uočena je značajna povezanost između sklonosti prema elektroničkim oblicima komunikacije i dobne skupine ispitanika (p = 0,0103).
Zaključak: Istraživanje je pokazalo zadovoljstvo pacijenata komunikacijom s osobljem te potrebu za usavršavanjem komunikacijskih vještina i integracijom digitalnih alata radi poboljšanja iskustva i pružanja kvalitetnije skrbi.In today's healthcare system, communication between patients and healthcare staff is essential for providing quality healthcare. The aim of this research was to investigate the satisfaction of patients with communication with health care personnel in different levels of health care. Specific objectives included determining patients' preferred mode of communication, investigating patient satisfaction with different modes of communication, and determining the frequency and reasons for difficulties in understanding medical information.
Respondents and methods: 374 patients from all counties of the Republic of Croatia who voluntarily agreed to fill out the Questionnaire on health personnel and patients participated in the research.
Results: 374 respondents from the entire Republic of Croatia participated in the research. Most respondents were female (85.03%), with the largest share in the age group of 31 to 40 years (36.63%). Most respondents have a secondary vocational education (47.06%). The analysis included communication with health personnel in primary, secondary and tertiary health care. Respondents showed the greatest satisfaction with communication in primary health care, especially via electronic mail. Respondents also expressed a positive attitude towards the importance of communication between healthcare staff and patients. No significant association was observed between satisfaction with communication and trust in the medical staff and experiencing difficulties in understanding medical information with regard to the sex of the respondents. However, a significant correlation was observed between the preference for electronic forms of communication and the age group of the respondents (p = 0.0103).
Conclusion: The research showed patient satisfaction with communication with staff and the need to improve communication skills and integrate digital tools to improve the experience and provide better quality care

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
