Stroke mitt i livet : en intervjustudie om hur män upplever sin sexualitet post stroke
No full textDet finns tidigare forskning som visat att sexuallivet påverkats efter en stroke. Många studier kan påvisa de fysiologiska förändringarna som kan ske i samband med en stroke. I denna studie är syfte att få en djupare förståelse kring män och deras sexualitet post stroke. Deras syn på manligheten och tankar kring rehabiliteringen.
Intervjustudien omfattar sju personer som alla drabbats av en stroke för mer än ett år sedan. Åldern på deltagarna varierade mellan 34 och 64 år, De hade levt med restsymptom av sin stroke mellan 4 år och upp till 11 år. Frågeställningar i uppsatsen var om personerna i studien upplever att deras manlighet har påverkats? Har det skett någon förändring post stroke? Vilka konsekvenser kan det få för självbilden? Hur är upplevelsen bland informanterna av hur rehabiliteringen hanterar frågor som rör sexualiteten?
I resultatet framkom att förändringar skett inom flera områden relaterade till sexualitet. Tydligast fanns en ökad trötthet, avsaknaden av en fullgod erektion samt orgasmförmåga. Detta påverkade även sexualiteten på det interpersonella planet. Det som har kommit fram i studien påvisar att upplevelsen bland deltagarna är allt från att ha fått ett bättre sexliv till att helt ha förlorat intresset för sin sexualitet. Dessa förändringar tolkades och hanterades olika av deltagarna. I analysen har scriptteorin använts, samt resonemang kring hegemonisk maskulinitet. Slutsatsen är att sexualitet inte är ett statiskt tillstånd utan ett dynamiskt och är en viktig del i rehabiliteringsprocessen.
Nyckelord: Sexualitet, sexualliv, sexuell dysfunktion, sexuell förmåga, sexuella script manlighetThere is previous research that showed that sexual life affected after a stroke. Many studies demonstrate the physiological changes that can occur with a stroke. In this study is to gain a deeper understanding of men post-stroke and their sexuality and self-image and perception of rehabilitation.
The interview study involving seven people who all suffered from a stroke for more than a year ago. The age of participants ranged between 34 and 64, they had lived with residual symptoms of his stroke from 4 years and up to 11 years. Issues in the essay were about the people in the study feel that their masculinity has been affected? Has there been any changes post stroke? What impact can it have on the self-image? How is the experience among the informants of the rehabilitation handle issues related to sexuality?
The result shows that changes have occurred in several areas related to sexuality. Most clearly was an increase in fatigue, the lack of an adequate erection and orgasm ability. This also affected the sexuality of the interpersonal plane. What has emerged in this study demonstrates that the experience of participants range from receiving better sex life to have completely lost interest in their sexuality. The changes also affected the sexuality of the interpersonal level. These changes were interpreted and handled differently by the participants. The analysis has been used script theory, and discussion of the hegemonic masculinity. The conclusion is that sexuality is not a static state but a dynamic and is an important part in the rehabilitation process.

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
The affirmative meeting : a literature study about how family members to patients see themselves in the meeting with the nurse
No full textI vården sker ständiga förändringar för att effektivisera verksamheten. Förändringar som ofta leder till att närstående till patienter mer eller mindre frivilligt får ge sig in i vården. Närstående behöver därför ett helt annat stöd idag än tidigare, behöver mer information och allmänna och specifika kunskaper. Teoretisk referensram i denna studie är SAUK-modellen som är en omvårdnadsmodell för att få ett bekräftande möte. Syftet är att belysa hur närstående till patienter upplever sig i mötet med sjuksköterskan. Metoden som används i studien är en litteraturstudie. Fem vetenskapliga artiklar och en doktorsavhandling har valts och analyserats efter Malteruds metod. Fyra fristående teman kom fram vid analysen: ängsliga, individ med personliga behov, betydelsefull och försummade. Resultat visade att närstående var i behov av ett bekräftande möte. Närstående ville bli sedda både som individer och som vårdare. Utan ett bekräftande möte kände de sig ängsliga och försummade
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
Sexuality is not age-related : an interview study
No full textIncreased knowledge of how sexuality is expressed in older persons may create opportunities for healthcare professionals to perform care according to a person-centered approach. To describe older people’s experiences of sexuality concerning aging, a qualitative study was conducted. Eight persons aged 60 and above were interviewed, and the obtained data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that the participants were certain of being sexually active as they got older. Awareness of what old age can bring regarding illness and increased medication intake was clear, alongside the importance of discussing sexuality with friends or a partner. Age was not seen as an obstacle to continuously being sexually active, and new ways to maintain intimacy and sexuality were identified. According to our results sexuality in older people is about well-being and intimate relationships. Creating opportunities for a trusting, caring relationship can strengthen older people’s sexual health. Healthcare professionals must, therefore, make possibilities for trustful relationships to support and discuss sexuality with older people. © 2023 The Author(s).

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
