Quantitative differences within motor abilities of pupils of higher grades in primary school
Get PDFThe aim of the research was to establish if there is any statistically important difference of motor abilities among pupils of higher grades in the 'Ivo Lola Ribar' elementary school in Sombor. The sample consisted of 166 pupils who attend grades fifth through eighth and who were divided into four groups 11 years (N=46), 12 years (N=41), 13 years (N=37), 14 years (N=42). To estimate motor abilities the battery of 8 motor tests was used. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that a statistically significant difference exists among examinees aged 11 to 14 for the whole sample of the variable which shows the level of motoric abilities (P= 0.00). Statistically significant difference is observed among the examinees in the speed of running, frequency speed of movement, explosive strength of legs, coordination, static strength of arms and shoulders in favour of examinees of older age. The linear trend of growing motor abilities is noticed in all analysed variables, which is in accordance with the age of examinees
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
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
EFEKAT KOREKTIVNE GIMNASTIKE NA MIŠIĆNE ASIMETRIJE KOD DECE PREDŠKOLSKOG UZRASTA
No full textThe aim of the study is to determine the influence of developmental gymnastics intervention on muscle asymmetries along the spinal column in the sagittal plane in preschool children from Subotica. The sample consisted of 133 preschool children and was divided into three subsamples, the experimental group E1-45 (25.57%), the experimental group with additional exercise E2-45 (25.57%), and the control group K-86 (48.86%). A 10-week experimental exercise treatment was applied to two groups of participants, one of which had one additional exercise at home with their parents. Contemplas 3D Compact analysis was applied to assess muscle asymmetries (Professionalmotion analysis software) taking into account the variables related to the sagittal plane. By analyzing the results of the multivariate analysis of covariance it could be concluded that there are statistically significant differences (p = 0,03) between samples of different groups for the assessment of the parameters of the spinal column in the sagittal plane on the value of Pillai’s Trace PT= 2,52 at the final measurement compared to the initial one. It can be pointed out that there are positive and visible effects of treatment on children from the experimental group, and that the program of corrective gymnastics has an impact on reducing muscle asymmetries in the sagittal plane, while the greatest effects are visible in the lumbar spine.Cilj studije je da se utvrdi uticaj korektivne gimnastike na mišićne asimetrije na nivou kičmenog stuba u sagitalnoj ravni kod dece predškolskog uzrasta iz Subotice. Uzorak je činio 133 dece predškolskog uzrasta i bio je podeljen na tri subuzorka, eksperimentalnu grupu E1-45 (25.57%), experimentalnu grupu sa dodatnim vežbanjem E2-45 (25.57%) i kontrolnu grupu K-43 (48.86%). Primenjen je eksperimentalni tretmana vežbanja u trajanju od 10 nedelja na dve grupe ispitanika, od kojih je jedna imala i još jedno dodatno vežbanje kod kuće sa roditeljima. Za procenu mišićnih asimetrija primenjena je 3D Compact analiza marke Contemplas (Professional motion analysis software) gde su uzete u obzir varijable koje se odnose na sagitalnu ravan. Analizom rezultata multivarijatne analize kovarijanse može se zaključiti da postoje statistički značajne razlike (p=0.03) između ispitanika eksperimentalnih i kontrolne grupe u varijablama za procenu parametara kičmenog stuba u sagitalnoj ravni pri vrednosti Pilar’ s Trace koeficijenta PT=2.52. Može se istači da postoje pozitivni i vidljivi efekti tretmana na eksperimentalnoj grupi dece i da je program korektivne gimnastike uticaj na smanjenje mišićnih asimetrija i sagitalnoj ravni, a najveći efekti su vidljivi u lumbalnom delu kičmenog stuba
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
