    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

    The use of x-ray radiation for medical photography, is often used in ICU, where there are other patients, ICU officers and their own radiology officers and the room without radiation protection. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to carry out occupational safety and health activities in the ionizing radiation field through radiation protection. dose exposure will be compared with the allowable dose limit (NBD), where are listed in SK BAPETEN No. 1 P/K.A. BAPETEN IV in 1999 for work safety as big as 10 Sv/Hour, NBD for general public is 0,5 Sv/Hour. Determination of dose exposure done at Rumah Sakit Tk II Putri Hijau Medan. By using the X ray mobile device intermedical brand unit. one way to find out radiation exposure directly with variations in distance 1 meter, 2 meter and 3 meter with vector of exposure 45 kV, 55 kV and 65 kV from 4 (four) sides of the X-ray tube using survey meter that is placed with a variety of different distances and a fixed X-ray source. The results of this research indicate that the farther the distance of the radiation source then the radiation exposure is smaller, in terms of the distance to the left of the x-ray tube exposure, the radiation is greater than the right direction of the x-ray tube, while the direction behind the x-ray tube exposure radiation is greater than the front of the x-ray tube.Penggunaan radiasi sinar X untuk keperluan medis fotografi, sering pula dilakukan di ruangan ICU yang pada ruangan tersebut terdapat pasien lain, petugas ICU, dan petugas radiologi sendiri serta ruangan tersebut tanpa dilengkapi dengan proteksi radiasi. Dengan demikian diperlukan upaya yang terus menerus untuk melakukan kegiatan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja dalam medan radiasi pengion melalui tindakan proteksi radiasi.Paparan dosis yang didapat akan di bandingkan dengan nilai batas dosis (NBD) yang di perbolehkan SK BAPETEN No.1 P/K.A. BAPETEN IV Tahun 1999 untuk keselamatan pekerja sebesar 10 Sv/jam, NBD untuk masyarakat umum 0,5 Sv/jam. Penentuan paparan dosis dilakuan di Rumah Sakit Tk II Putri Hijau Medan.Dengan menggunakan alat XRay mobile unit merek intermedical.Salah satu cara untuk mengetahui paparan radiasi secara langsung dengan variasi jarak 1 meter, 2 meter,3 merer dengan vaktor eksposi 45 kV, 55 kV, dan 65 kV dari 4 (empat) sisi tabung sinar X dengan menggunakan surveymeter yang diletakkan dengan variasi jarak yang berbeda dan sumber sinar X tetap.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin jauh jarak sumber radiasi maka paparan radiasi semakin kecil, dari segi jarak arah kiri tabung sinar-X paparan radiasinya lebih besar dibandingkan arah kanan tabung, sekarang arah belakang tabung sinar-X paparan radiasinya lebih besar dibanding arah depan tabung sinar-X.Skripsi Sarjan

    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

    We 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

    a research was conducted to invenstigate antihyperglycemic activity ethanol extract of leaf kembang bulan (Tithonia diversifolia) in mice with alloxan induced diabetes. The experiment used completely randomized design, 6 treatment groups with 5 replicates each. KP mice, P1, P2, P3 and P4 fasted for 16 hours and then injected intraperitoneally alloxan 5.04 mg. On day 4 post induction, KP, P1, P2, P3 and P4 positive diabetes. P1, P2 and P3 were treated 14; 42 and 70 mg/Kg of ethanol extract of kembang bulan while P4 were 0.9 mg/Kg glibenclamide for 12 days. The results showed that all treatment doses did not significantly affect body weight of diabetic mice (P>0.05). P1 obtained with a dose of 14 mg/Kg body weight is able to decrease blood glucose levels (P0,05). P1 dengan dosis 14mg/Kg BB mampu menurunkan kadar gula darah (P<0,05). Ekstrak etanol dengan dosis 14 mg/Kg BB (P1) berpengaruh terhadap penurunan jumlah sel raksasa limpa. Dapat disimpulkan ekstrak etanol kembang bulan mampu menurunkan KGD dan berpengaruh terhadap gambaran mikrostruktur limpa mencit yang diinduksi diabetes dengan aloksan67 HalamanTesis Magiste
