    The period of transition from childhood to adulthood is called adolescence. Adolescent girls experience physical changes, namely, starting to menstruate. Complaints that often arise during menstruation are menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), which can be reduced by doing abdominal stretching exercises that will stimulate the production of endorphins and give a feeling of calm and resistance to painful feelings, especially menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). This study aimed to determine the effect of abdominal stretching exercise on the intensity of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls in Ma Nurut Taqwa Besuki-Situbondo. The research design used was pre-experimental with a one-group pre-posttest approach. The population in this study was 83 respondents, with a sample of 37 respondents using purposive sampling, collecting data by questionnaires, and then processing the data using SPSS using the paired t-test. Wilcoxon test analysis results get a sig value Of 0.000 < 0.05. This proves that giving abdominal stretching exercises affects the intensity of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls in Ma Nurut taqwa besuki-Situbondo

    Anxiety is overthinking something that has not happened yet. The anxiety of pregnant women can arise because the long wait for birth is full of uncertainty. Much anxiety occurs in pregnant women who are nearing the time of delivery. This study aims to determine prenatal gentle yoga\u27s effect on the anxiety level in third-trimester pregnant women facing childbirth in PMB, Wringin District. The type of research used includes quasi-experimental research (queasy experiment) with pre-test and post-test with control group design. The sampling technique used was systematic random sampling. The research sample was 60 pregnant women divided into two control groups, 30 pregnant women. The analysis used is bivariate analysis. The results showed a significant effect on the intervention group after gentle prenatal yoga was performed, with a sign of value 0/000. The conclusion of this study shows that there is an effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the level of anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women facing childbirth

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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
