No full textOrientadora: Profa. Dra Juliana Feltrin de Souza CaparrozDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia. Defesa : Curitiba, 15/02/2018Inclui referências: p.61-66Resumo: Hipomineralização de Molares e Incisivos (HMI) é um tipo específico de DDE, que se caracteriza clinicamente por apresentar opacidades demarcadas envolvendo desde um até os quatro primeiros molares permanentes, frequentemente também pode afetar os incisivos permanentes. Estudos reportam elevada prevalência da HMI nas populações. Piores desfechos de saúde bucal têm sido associados à HMI. Este estudo epidemiológico transversal tem como objetivo avaliar a prevalência e características da HMI em Curitiba-PR, relação da HMI com cárie dentária e hipomineralização em dentes decíduos. Para isso, envolveu uma amostra representativa de 731 crianças de 7 a 8 anos de idade da Rede Pública de Ensino do município. As informações socioeconômicas e demográficas da população avaliada foram coletadas por meio de um questionário semiestruturado aplicado aos pais ou responsáveis. Para avaliar a experiência de cárie, foram utilizados os índices de CPO-D e ceo-d (Cariados, perdidos e obturados na dentição permanente e decídua, respectivamente) de acordo com os critérios da OMS (WHO, 2013). Para avaliar a HMI, utilizou-se o índice da European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD). Os demais defeitos de desenvolvimento do esmalte (DDE) foram classificados de acordo com o índice de DDE modificado da FDI (1992). As crianças foram examinadas de acordo com a OMS por quatro examinadores foram calibrados (Kappa > 0,80) para os índices clínicos utilizados na pesquisa. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente usando o software SPSS (versão 19, IBM, EUA) e STATA (Stata Corp, versão 14). As associações foram analisadas por meio da análise de regressão múltipla de Poisson com variância robusta, adotando nível de significância de 0,05. A prevalência de HMI foi de 12,1% (IC 95% 10,0% a 15,0%), sendo as opacidades demarcadas amarelas as alterações mais prevalentes (8,6%). A presença da HMI aumentou significantemente a experiência de cárie (PRa= 2,52; IC 95% 1,60-3,97; p 0.80) for the clinical indices used in the research. Data were analyzed statistically using SPSS software (version 19, IBM, USA) and STATA (Stata Corp., version 14). The associations were analyzed through Poisson multivariate regression analysis with robust variance, adopting a significance level of 0.05. The prevalence of MIH was 12.1% (95% CI 10.0% to 15.0%), with yellow opacities being the most prevalent changes (8.6%). The presence of HMI significantly increased the caries experience (RR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.60-3.97, p <0.001). In the multiple analysis, children with DDE in the deciduous dentition presented a higher prevalence of HMI (RR = 2.36, 95% CI 1.45-3.79), and children with more than three teeth affected by DDE in the deciduous dentition presented greater prevalence of MIH (PRa = 3.13, 95% CI 1.23-7.92). When adjusted for DDE in the deciduous dentition, children of Asian ethnicity presented higher prevalence of MIH. It is concluded that the presence of MIH may be an important local factor to increase the caries experience. Also, the presence of DDE in deciduous teeth can be considered a predictive factor of MIH in the permanent dentition. In addition, the data suggest that children of Asian ethnicity may present a higher prevalence of development defects of enamel in both deciduous and permanent dentition. Keywords: Amelogenesis.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
