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
PENGARUH MEDIA LEAFLET TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP REMAJA TENTANG BAHAYA ROKOK DI MTSS DDI CAMBALAGI KABUPATEN MAROS
Get PDFSmoking is an unhealthy behavior that causes various diseases, ironically this smoking habit, especially in Indonesia, seems to have been entrenched even though many smokers are actually aware and admit that smoking will cause various kinds of diseases in their bodies.The purpose of the study: to determine the effect of leaflet media on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents about the dangers of smoking at MTS DDI Cambalagi, Maros Regency in 2021. Type of Research: The research design used is Pre Experiment Designs with the one group Pretest-Posttest Design method. The sample in this study were 38 respondents. Simple random sampling technique.The results of the study: The knowledge of students before being given leaflets about the dangers of smoking from 38 respondents who had good knowledge as many as 4 respondents (10.5%) enough as many as 8 respondents (21.1%) less as many as 26 respondents (68.4%) after being given the media experienced an increase in good knowledge as many as 18 respondents (47.4%) enough as many as 16 respondents (42.1%) less as many as 4 respondents (42.1%) decreased, while the attitude of students before being given leaflets about the dangers of smoking were positive as many as 7 respondents (18.4%) negative as many as 31 respondents (81.6 %), after being given leaflet media, there was an increase in the positive attitude of 26 respondents (68.4%) who had a negative attitude decreased by 12 respondents (31.6%). The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that there was an effect of student knowledge before and after being given leaflet media about the dangers of smoking with a value (p = 0.000), There was an influence on student attitudes before and after being given leaflet media about the dangers of smoking with a value (p = 0.000). Suggestion: For teachers and students, it is hoped that this research can be used as information material for teachers and students in order to know about the dangers of smoking and the diseases that can be caused by smoking through the provision and installation of leaflet on the dangers of smoking in the school environment, as well as providing always explain about the dangers of smoking.

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
FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PENGGUNAAN KONTRASEPSI IUD (Intra Uterine Device) DI PUSKESMAS TINGGEDE
Get PDFThe Family Planning (FP) program has been proven to be one of the most effective efforts to reduce maternal mortality rates. This study aims to identify factors influencing the use of intrauterine device (IUD) contraception in Tinggede Community Health Center, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province in 2024. The study uses a cross-sectional analytical method with a sample size of 130 FP acceptors at Tinggede Community Health Center.
The results show that knowledge, attitude, and the husband's support significantly influence the use of IUD. The higher the knowledge, attitude, and husband's support, the higher the rate of IUD usage. The study also finds that subjective norms do not significantly influence the use of IUD. This indicates that community norms do not greatly affect women's decisions to use IUDs.
In conclusion, knowledge, attitude, and the husband's support are important factors influencing the use of IUD at Tinggede Community Health Center, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve husbands' knowledge and support for IUD to increase the use of this contraceptive method in the community.

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
