    Cilj ovog rada je istražiti postoje li spolne razlike u statusu uhranjenosti djece koja pohađaju predškolski program. Također će se obraditi teme bazirane na vrstama utjecaja koje mogu značajno doprinijeti ponekim zdravstvenim problemima vezanih uz uhranjenost djece što uključuje pretilost, prekomjernu težinu i pothranjenost. Za osiguranje pravilnog rasta i razvoja djeteta ključno je uvesti uravnoteženu prehranu te bi djeca trebala usvojiti navike koje se baziraju na bavljenju svakodnevnim fizičkim aktivnostima čime će doprinijeti razvoju kvalitetnog života. Provedeno je istraživanje u jednom zagrebačkom vrtiću na uzorku od 72 djeteta, podijeljenih na 33 djevojčice i 39 dječaka starosti od 5 do 6 godina. Podaci koji su prikupljeni zasnivaju se na tjelesnoj visini (TV) i tjelesnoj težini (TT), prema kojima je dobiven podatak indeksa tjelesne mase (BMI) te njegovi percentili (BMIper). Također su izmjerene varijable tjelesne visine, tjelesne težine, obujma trbuha, obujma bokova, kožnog nabora na leđima, kožnog nabora trbuha, indeks tjelesne mase te postotak tjelesne masti. Dobivenim rezultatima konkretnije će se moći pristupiti analizi razlika koje su prisutne u statusu uhranjenosti te u konačnici spolnim razlikama djece navedene dobi kojom se istraživanje bavi. Iz istraživanja je dobiveno kako je veći postotak djevojčica s prekomjernom tjelesnom težinom i pretilošću naspram dječaka te da je veliki stupanj pothranjenosti i kod dječaka i kod djevojčica. Također, napravljena je i t-analiza u kojoj je, statistički gledano, jedino varijabla kožnog nabora nadlaktice varijabla koja ima veće razlike kod djevojčica, odnosno dječaka.. Na kraju, rezultati ovog rada će ponuditi smjernice za daljnje postupke u odgoju te kreiranju zdravijih prehrambenih i životnih navika za djecu predškolske dobi s ciljem ostvarenja zdravijeg i ugodnijeg života.The aim of this work is to investigate whether there are gender differences in the nutritional status of children who attend a preschool program. Topics based on the types of influences that can significantly contribute to some health problems related to children's nutrition, including obesity, overweight and undernutrition, will also be covered. To ensure the proper growth and development of a child, it is crucial to introduce a balanced diet, and children should adopt habits based on engaging in daily physical activities, which will contribute to the development of a quality life. Research was conducted in a kindergarten in Zagreb on a sample of 72 children, divided into 33 girls and 39 boys aged 5 to 6 years. The data collected is based on body height (HW) and body weight (TT), according to which the body mass index (BMI) and its percentiles (BMIper) were obtained. The variables of body height, body weight, abdominal girth, hip girth, back skin fold, belly skin fold, body mass index and body fat percentage were also measured. The obtained results will allow for a more concrete analysis of the differences that are present in the nutritional status and, ultimately, of the gender differences of children of the specified age that the research deals with. The research showed that there is a higher percentage of overweight and obese girls compared to boys, and that there is a high degree of malnutrition in both boys and girls. Also, a t-analysis was performed, in which, statistically speaking, the variable of the skin fold of the upper arm is the only variable that has greater differences in girls and boys. In the end, the results of this work will offer guidelines for further procedures in education and the creation of healthier diets. and lifestyle habits for preschool children with the aim of achieving a healthier and more pleasant life

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
