Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Intımate partner –sexual vıolence and relatıonshıp between depressıon symptoms among collage women A sample from A unıversıty
No full textThe aim of this studywas to identify the prevalence of sexual violence among collage women of Ankara University. The risk factors of intimate violence-sexual version- was investigated, the depression symptoms of the respondents were compared with the history oftheir sexual abuse in the past and in six months. Methods: The screening model was used in the study. A questionnaire consisting three subscales (personal information, determining the sexual violence and depression symptoms) were administered to collage women in the first built university of Turkey. The subscales were Intİmate Partner Violence – Victim Version and Personal Health Questionnaire-9. Both of the scales were validity and reliably in Turkish language. Results: Forty hundred healthy collage women, who were students in Ankara Universityandaccepted to participate were includedin the study.Of the participants,97.3% were single (n = 389) and average age was 20.70 ± 2.12. The average year of the attendance to the collage was %30.8 of them were in her third year. Most of the individuals were grown up in towns by the range of % 81.8 (n=327). Of the individuals 55.8% of them were graduated from Anatolian High Schools (n=223). According to the study, the rate of sexual violence among collage women is %17. It is found that the %17 of the individuals have been sexually violence at least once in their lives. Also, the prevelance of sexual violence in six months is 9% (n=36). It is compared that the mother of collage women has a job and the collage women have more risk of being sexual violence ( p=0.005 ). It is found that the romantic relationships time that collage woman was involved in is another risk factor for sexual violence ( p=0,122 ).The results of logistics regression is attending a science or communication faculty, being a witness to domestic violence, alcohol abuse, substance abuse are risk factors that affect sexual violence. Depression is another issue that is found high among collage women who were sexually abused. Conclusion: In this study, it was demonstrated that there was a positive correlationbetween sexual violence among collage women and alcohol abuse, drug abuse, depression. It should also be emphasized how childhood histories are important. In addition, collage women should be aware of being sexually abused while dating with men.Ankara Üniversitesi'nde öğrenim görmekte olan kadın üniversite öğrencilerinde flört ilişkilerinde cinsel şiddete uğrama prevalansları ile bu kadınlarda cinsel şiddetin bağımsız risk faktörlerini araştırmak, üniversiteye devam etmekte olan kadın öğrencilerin depresyon prevalanslarını ve olası depresyonları ile cinsel şiddete uğrama durumlarını karşılaştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç-yöntem: Çalışmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır.Araştırma örneklemini oluşturan Ankara Üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte kadın öğrencilereyerleşke içindeki sosyal alanlarda gönüllülük esası ile anket uygulanmıştır. Anket sosyodemografik bilgilerden, Mağdurların Cinsel Deneyimleri Ölçeği' nden, Hasta Sağlık Anketi-9 formundan oluşmaktaydı. Konunun mahremiyeti sebebiyle anketler kapalı zarf içinde isimsiz olarak büyük bir kutu içinde toplandı.Kullanılan ölçeklerin tümünün Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirliği yapılmıştı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya,katılmayı kabul eden sağlıklı400 kadın üniversite öğrencisi alınmıştır. Katılımcılarınortalama yaşı 20.70 ± 2.12 dur. Üniversiteli olma yıllarına bakıldığında %30,8'inin üçüncü sınıfta olduğu belirlenmiştir (n=134). Katılımcıların %97,3'ü bekar (n=389 ); %2,8'i ise evlidir (n=11). Katılımcıların %18,3'ü şehirde büyümüş olup (n=73) % 81,8'i kırsal bölgeden gelmektedir (n=327). Öğrencilerin en son mezun oldukları lise sorulduğunda % 55,8 ile en sık Anadolu lisesi(n=223), ikinci sıklıkla %21 ile lise (n=84); en az olarak da %0,3 ile imam hatip lisesi (n=1) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu verilere göre cinsel şiddet prevalansı %17 olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin %17'sinin hayatlarında en az bir kez cinsel şiddete maruz kaldıkları tespit edilmiştir.Evli olanların hiçbiri cinsel şiddete maruz kalmamıştır. Son altı ay içinde cinsel şiddete maruz kalan kız öğrenci oranı %9 (n=36)' dir.Kişilerin annelerinin çalışıp çalışmama durumuna göre önceki ve şimdiki cinsel şiddet öyküleri istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermekteydi ( p=0.005 ). Cinsel şiddet mağduriyet öyküsü olan kadın öğrencilerden %24'ünün annesi herhangi bir işte çalışıyorken, %13'ü çalışmıyor veya emekli olarak hesaplanmıştır. Flört süresi ile cinsel şiddete uğrama durumu arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı ( p=0,122 ). İstatiksel olarak anlamlı olmasa da cinsel şiddete uğrayan kadın öğrencilerin flört ilişkilerini sonlandırma eğiliminde olduğu tespit edildi. Cinsel şiddet öyküsü bulunmayan ancak flörtü olan kadın öğrencilerin flört sürelerinin medianı 11 iken, cinsel şiddet öyküsü bulunan öğrencilerin flört sürelerinin medianı 6 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Lojistik regresyon yapıldığında fen fakültesi ve iletişim fakültesinin cinsel şiddete uğramak açısından riskli olduğu, aile içi şiddete tanık olmanın cinsel şiddete uğramayı 2,5 kat arttırdığını, alkol kullanımın cinsel şiddete uğrama oranını 3,4 kat artırdığını ve madde kullanımının ise 7,5 kat artırdığı hesaplandı. Depresyonun da cinsel şiddete uğrama oranını 2,03 kat artırdığı bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, bir üniversite örneklemindeki kadın öğrencilerin cinsel şiddet prevalansının literatürle uyumlu olduğu, genç erişkinlerde depresyon sıklığının literatürle benzer olduğu bulundu. Sigara, alkol ve bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanımının, ailede şiddete tanık olma öyküsünün, flört edinme ve flörtün zararlı alışkanlıkları olmasının yakın ilişkilerde cinsel şiddete uğrama riskini artırdığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, yakın ilişkilerinde cinsel şiddete uğramış kadın öğrencilerin depresyon tanısı alma ihtimalinin normal populasyona göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır
Management of movement disorders in primary care
No full textMovement disorders (MDs), are a spectrum of neurological diseases consisting of motor and non-motor symptoms regarding the dysfunctional motor control circuitry and some parts of the nervous system including the basal ganglia, thalamus, cortex, cerebellum besides peripheral autonomic nervous system. Usually, movement disorders are a clinical syndrome which is a specific movement disorder with some other disorders besides neurological and non-neurological abnormalities. The clinical manifestations that should be considered as MDs are complex and heterogeneous. These conditions include symptoms of motor functions like tremor, myoclonus or dystonia, so-called hyperkinetic movements, problems with cognitive functioning like attention problems, prediction error, and sometimes emotion hyper-responsiveness. It is estimated that more than 500,000 individuals in Europe were affected by rare neurological diseases according to the European Reference Network for Rare Neurological Diseases - ERN-RND. Parkinson's Disease is the most common disease in the large spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by movement disorder and this affected more than 1 million persons over 55 years old in the United States. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, movement disorders followed up by all forms of telemedicine usage increased across almost all of the countries in the world. In most countries, the patient's first contact is the primary care physician and it is important to disseminate the knowledge of primary care among movement disorders. It is important to be aware of and be an expert in neurological symptoms for diagnosing rare movement disorders. Due to technological improvements, it is feasible to implement continuing medical education and on-the-job training programs among MDs to exchange information, training, and skill

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
