KARAKTERISTIK BALITA PENDERITA PNEUMONIA BERDASARKAN FAKTOR RISIKO DI RSUD ABDUL WAHAB SJAHRANIE SAMARINDA TAHUN 2018
Full text linkPneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that affects the lung parenchyma, which is still the leading cause of children under-five mortality throughout the world. Age 1-24 months, low birth weight, and undernourished are the risk factors for pneumonia. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the characteristics of children under-five patients with pneumonia in Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital Samarinda, based on the risk factors. This research is a descriptive observational study. The samples of this study were all the pneumonia children under-five patients who were hospitalized at Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital in January-December 2018, according to the characteristics of the sample set by the researchers, which were taken by purposive sampling technique. The data used were secondary data obtained from patient medical records, taken in June 2019 at the Medical Record Installation, Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital. The number of samples obtained was 42 pneumonia patients. More children suffering from pneumonia were found in age 1-24 months (78.6%), normal birth weight (61.9%), and undernourished (57.1%)
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
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
Use of The Heat Treatment Method as An Alternative to Commercial Kit-Based Nucleic Acid Extraction Method for Detecting SARS-CoV-2 Using RT-qPCR Technique under Reagent Limited Conditions
Full text linkThe increase in the number of COVID-19 cases could cause disruptions to the global supply chain of commercial kits for the extraction of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid so that the COVID-19 screening process has the potential to be hampered. Another alternative method that can be used is the heat-treatment (HT) method. This study aims to assess the quality of the results of the RT-qPCR examination for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using the HT nucleic acid extraction method. The samples were nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs and then underwent nucleic acid extraction using the magnetic beads extraction (MBE) / commercial kit and the HT method on the same day (less than 6 hours). The nucleic acid extraction results from both methods were then amplified using the RT-qPCR technique, then compared and analyzed the results. The results showed that qualitatively there was a very significant difference in the interpretation of the results between the two nucleic acid extraction methods (McNemar test, p = 0; p 0.05). The use of HT method for extraction will be more effective on cells or microorganisms that have genetic material in the form of DNA than RNA. The HT method is not recommended for use in the diagnosis of COVID-19. The use of this method as a screening in moderate to severe symptomatic populations under conditions of limited extraction reagents may be considered.Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, Heat-Treatment Method, Nucleic Acid Extraction, RT-qPC
POTENSI PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH ORGANIK RUMAH TANGGA MENJADI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR MELALUI PROSES FERMENTASI MENGGUNAKAN BIOAKTIVATOR EM4
Full text linkDesa Girimukti is a village of East Kalimantan, Penajam Paser Utara. According to data for 2021, a privately owned area of around 16,000 ha will have a population of 6,730 persons and 1,908 occupied homes. The rising creation of garbage, especially home organic waste, is being caused by a sizable population. If handled improperly, it will contaminate the environment. Utilizing fermentation to transform trash into liquid organic fertilizer is one solution that is possible. Study In order to produce liquid organic fertilizer, it is necessary to know the ideal ratio of organic waste to bioactivator as well as the best fermentation time to obtain the highest nutritional content. In this research, EM4, water, and sugar are added to a reactor that already has household organic waste present in the form of vegetables. In order to test the macronutrient content, which includes C-organic, N, P, K, and pH, samples were taken on days 5, 10, and 15 of the 15-day fermentation process. In this study, the addition ratio of EM4 to vegetable waste was 30:100, with a lengthy fermentation period of 10 days. This provided the finest liquid organic fertilizer. The best pH, C-organic content, N, P, and K contents are 11.99%, 4.45%, 5.54%, 4.8200%, and 6.82, respectively. The produced liquid organic fertilizer satisfies the requirements for quality of MOA 70 of 2011
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
