    Al Durar fi Ikhtisar Al Maghazi wa Al Siar is a primary source of Sirah, the Prophetic life. It was written by Ibn e Abdul Bar in the fifth century. This book is very important, and has always been under discussions in the scholarly works. However, there has been a new discussion by some recent writers about another scholarly work of Ibn e Syed Al Nas by the name of Uyoon ul Asar. It is being argued that the later work is a summary of the former. The current study is aimed at comparing both works and analyze this argument which is raised in the recent discussions. It concludes that this argument is not valid because the later is almost two times more than the former. Yes, it might be said that both books heavily relied on same resources like Sirah of Ibn e Ishaq and Kitab al Maghazi of Al Waqidi. Moreover, it is also a fact that work of Ibn e Abdul Bar was available to Ibn e Syed Al Nas

    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

    Comparative Analysis of Pattern of Symptoms of Chest Pain in Patients with and without Diabetes: A Systematic Review

    No full text
    Background: Chest pain is a key indicator and is one of the most frequent complaints in hospital settings. However, atypical presentations of chest pain are often associated with various diseases. The symptoms of chest pain can be particularly ambiguous due to various factors, including gender, diabetes mellitus (DM), and other clinical conditions. Thus, this review performed a comparative analysis of patterns of chest pain in patients with and without DM. Materials and Methods: The review was carried out using electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, and Google Scholar. The studies which were available in the last 10 years from January 2013 to December 2023 were considered. Moreover, the included studies were evaluated using the RevMan 5.4 to analyze the risk of bias. Results: Ten studies were incorporated. The comparative analysis of chest pain patterns reveals that diabetic patients often experience atypical symptoms compared to non-diabetic individuals. The assessment of risks in the study revealed that 58.33% were categorized as having a low risk, while 20% had an unclear risk and 71.67% of cases were classified as not applicable. Conclusion: Chest pain was more prevalent in non-diabetic patients, particularly in AMI and ACS, where they typically presented with classic symptoms. Diabetic patients presented atypical symptoms, such as dyspnea, shoulder pain, gastric discomfort, and cold sweats, complicating timely diagnosis. Comorbidities such as hypertension and angina in diabetic patients further obscured symptom interpretation, increasing the risk of delayed recognition and poorer outcomes

    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

    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
