Auto-administración de tratamiento antibiótico domiciliario endovenoso (A-TADE) en la endocarditis infecciosa : un modelo asistencial seguro y eficiente
No full textLa endocarditis infecciosa (EI) es un proceso infeccioso de elevada gravedad, que habitualmente se maneja en el hospital. Las unidades de hospitalización a domicilio (HaD) ofrecen en su cartera de servicios el tratamiento antibiótico domiciliario endovenoso (TADE) para procesos infecciosos de diversa complejidad, siendo la EI uno de los que más reticencias ha suscitado hasta el momento. Dentro del modelo TADE, disponemos de una variante denominada auto-administración de tratamiento antimicrobiano domiciliario endovenoso (A-TADE) en la que el personal sanitario adiestra al paciente y/o a sus cuidadores en la administración de los antimicrobianos, sin que sea necesaria la presencia física de dicho personal en el domicilio durante la infusión, lo aplican escasas unidades de HaD en España y el HUMV es una de ellas. En la mayoría de las HaD, es el personal de enfermería quien administra la medicación endovenosa, definiremos a esta variante como E-TADE (administración por parte de enfermería del TADE). Los estudios sobre la primera variante, todavía escasos, están demostrando, para diferentes procesos infecciosos y en pacientes seleccionados no hay menoscabo en la seguridad, en la eficacia además de una reducción de costes del tratamiento respecto a la opción E-TADE. El objetivo del trabajo es determinar la seguridad, la eficacia y costes de un programa de HaD basado en la auto-administración del tratamiento antimicrobiano domiciliario endovenosos (A-TADE) en el tratamiento de la EI
The migration experience in Africa
No full textIn this book different authors investigates the range of the migration experience in Africa. Because of the variety and complexity of the reasons which surround and underpin why African populations are so mobile, this volume adopts an eclectic approach which illustrates the diversity of theoretical positions, as well as methodological and analytical trends. Examples of the great breadth and richness of empirical insights into human migrations in the contemporary african context are also given.CONTENTS: Introduction / Tade Akin Aina & Jonathan Baker -- PART I CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS -- Migrations in Contemporary Africa: A Retrospective View / Samir Amin -- Internal Non-Metropolitian Migration and the Development Process in Africa / Tade Akin Aina -- Poverty, Enviromental Stress and Culture as Factors in African Migrations / Christer Krokfors -- Rural Households as Producers: Income Diversification and the Allocation of Resources / Hugh Emrys Evans & Gazala Pirzada -- PART II NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND SUB-REGIONAL THEMES -- Migration in Africa: An Overview / Aderanti Adepoju -- Forgotten Places, Abandoned Places: Migration Research Issues in South Africa / Christian M.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
