Radiographers and workplace violence
No full textUvod: Nasilje nad zdravstvenimi delavci je v zdravstvenem sistemu pogost pojav, ki predstavlja vedno večji problem (od verbalne zlorabe, groženj do fizičnega napada). Radiološki inženirji, so mu kot pomemben del zdravstvenega osebja, prav tako v veliki meri izpostavljeni. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati tematiko nasilja na delovnem mestu radioloških inženirjev, torej raziskati vrste nasilja, kdo jih izvaja, katere skupine radioloških inženirjev so bolj dovzetne, dejavnike tveganja, odzive na nasilje in njegove posledice, kakšni so predlogi za zmanjšanje nasilja ter ali imajo razmere v državi vpliv na pojav nasilja na delovnem mestu radioloških inženirjev. Metode dela: Izvedli smo sistematični pregled znanstvene in strokovne literature. Pri iskanju domače in tuje literature smo uporabili različne podatkovne baze, in sicer Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link in ScienceDirect. Pri identifikaciji smo si pomagali s ključnimi besedami kot so workplace violence, radiographer OR radiologic technologist, mobing, nasilje na delovnem mestu, agresija. Upoštevali smo, da so bili članki dostopni v celoti in izdani med letoma 2005 in 2024, v angleškem ali slovenskem jeziku ter da so bili udeleženci izključno radiološki inženirji. Nanašati so se morali na tematiko nasilja radioloških inženirjev pri njihovem delu. Rezultati: Iz skupno pridobljenih 4512 rezultatov, smo s pomočjo izključitvenih kriterijev v diplomskem delu uporabili 11 člankov. Razvrstili smo jih po avtorju in naslovu, letnici in državi izdaje, številu udeležencev, namenu, metodah dela ter ugotovitvah. Razprava in zaključek: Ugotovili smo, da je verbalno nasilje najpogostejša oblika nasilja nad radiološkimi inženirji, izvajajo ga predvsem pacienti in njihovi svojci. Najbolj so mu izpostavljene ženske radiološke inženirke in radiološki inženirji z manj delovnih izkušenj. Med dejavnike tveganja uvrščamo med drugim dolge čakalne vrste, premalo zaposlenih, zlorabo alkohola in drog. Veliko radioloških inženirjev ignorira incident, drugi pa se obrnejo na nadrejene ali bližnje. Mnogi radiološki inženirji, ki so nasilje doživeli poročajo o depresiji, anksioznosti in slabših delovnih sposobnostih, nekateri celo o samomorilskem vedenju. Podani predlogi izboljšav so večje število zaposlenih, vzpostavitev izobraževalnih kampanij in varnostnih protokolov. Razmere v državi ter značilnosti bolnišnic in pacientov znatno vplivajo na pojav nasilja, saj nizke plače in slabi delovni pogoji radioloških inženirjev, prispevajo k nasilnemu vedenju na delovnem mestu. Razumevanje nasilja je ključno za razvoj učinkovitih preventivnih strategij in smernic za zaščito zdravja in varnosti radioloških inženirjev ter za ustvarjanje varnega delovnega okolja na radioloških oddelkih.Introduction: Violence against healthcare workers is a common and growing problem in the healthcare system (ranging from verbal abuse, threats and physical assault). Radiographers are, as an important part of the healthcare workforce, also highly exposed to it. Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to explore the topic of workplace violence among radiographers, i.e. to investigate the types of violence, who perpetrates it, which groups of radiographers are more susceptible, the risk factors, the reactions and consequences it has, the suggestions for reducing violence, and whether the state of the country has an impact on the occurrence of violence in the workplace among radiographers. Methods: We carried out a review of the scientific and professional literature using descriptive methods. We searched domestic and foreign literature using different databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link and ScienceDirect. We identified key miseries such as workplace violence, radiographer OR radiologic technologist, mobbing OR workplace violence, aggression. We considered that the articles were available in full and published between 2005 and 2024, in English or Slovene, and that the participants were exclusively radiographers. They had to relate to the topic of violence against radiographers in the course of their work. Results: From a total of 4512 results, we used the exclusion criteria to select 11 articles for the thesis. We classified them according to the author, title, year of publication, country of publication, number of participants, purpose, methods of work and findings. Discussion and conclusion: We found that verbal violence is the most common form of violence against radiographers, mostly perpetrated by patients and their relatives. Women radiographers with less work experience are the most susceptible to it. Risk factors include long waiting times, staff shortages, alcohol and drug abuse. Mostly radiographers ignore the incident, while others turn to their superiors or relatives. Many radiographers report depression, anxiety and poorer work skills, some even suicidal behaviors. Suggestions for improvement include increasing staff numbers, introducing educational campaigns and safety protocols. The situation in the country and the characteristics of hospitals and patients have a significant impact on the occurrence of violence, as low wages and poor working conditions of radiographers contribute to violent behaviors in the workplace. Understanding violence is key to developing effective prevention strategies and policies to protect the health and safety of radiographers and to create a safe working environment in radiology departments

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
Sucesso escolar, localiza??o de escolas p?blicas e vari?veis populacionais na ?rea urbana de Erechim-RS
No full textO presente trabalho buscou relacionar as implica??es das vari?veis de sucesso produzidas pelo Inep com a localiza??o das escolas p?blicas de Ensino Fundamental na ?rea urbana do munic?pio de Erechim-RS e as vari?veis populacionais do seu entorno para a Gest?o Educacional. A metodologia utilizada foi a localiza??o das escolas p?blicas de Ensino Fundamental da ?rea de estudo, levantamento dos dados populacionais por setor censit?rio junto ao IBGE, e dos indicadores de sucesso escolar (aprova??o, reprova??o, abandono e distor??o idade/s?rie) junto ao Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais An?sio Teixeira (Inep), espacializa??o das vari?veis populacionais e educacionais em mapas comparando a localiza??o das escolas com a quantidade de popula??o por setores censit?rios, a distribui??o de renda, e as vari?veis de sucesso escolar. Ao realizar a espacializa??o foi poss?vel perceber que o maior n?mero de escolas localiza-se nos setores centrais, menos populosos, j? nos setores mais populosos h? um d?ficit de institui??es de ensino p?blico, al?m da necessidade de institui??es de ensino nos setores novos e nas ?reas de expans?o da cidade
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

Transpar?ncia p?blica municipal: an?lise das vari?veis pol?ticas e socioecon?micas determinantes
No full textThis research seeks to verify the influence of political and socioeconomic variables on the index of public transparency of the Brazilian municipalities. The relevance of this research is in the small number of studies that investigate political variables associated with public transparency and the absence of an analysis of the factors related to it carried out at the national level, considering all Brazilian municipalities as a sample universe and the active and passive dimensions of transparency. In addition to its contribution to the literature, it is understood that the study of transparency is relevant, since it is through it, and with the support of the laws that imposed its obligation on public entities, that the population finds a way to exercise citizenship and social control. To achieve the proposed objective, the methodology adopted was empirical research, with a quantitative focus and correlational scope. The municipalities included in the sample were selected by Stratified Random Sampling to estimate the Proportion, the same method used by the third edition of the Escala Brasil Transparente survey (CGU,
2016) conducted by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU). Secondary data collected for the study refer to political variables (electoral participation, political competitiveness, legislative composition, reelection and gender of the mayor) and socioeconomic variables (unemployment level, annual municipal investment per capita, annual municipal debt per capita and population size ), in addition to the transparency index provided by the National Transparency Ranking (RNT) of the Federal Public Ministry (MPF). These data are found in databases available via internet and were collected with the aid of an electronic spreadsheet. Afterwards, they were analyzed and submitted to statistical tests (descriptive statistics, Anova, t-test, Chi square, Pearson's correlation and Poisson regression). The results indicate that none of the investigated political variables is related to transparency. However, electoral participation and the mayor's gender have an influence on the transparency index. Municipalities with higher rates of electoral participation are more transparent, as are municipalities governed by men - a result that points to a peculiarity of the Brazilian context. All socioeconomic variables are related to the transparency index, and the level of unemployment has a negative relationship. The level of unemployment is also the only socioeconomic variable that influences the transparency index. Higher unemployment rates lead to lower rates of municipal transparency. In summary, three variables determine transparency in municipalities: electoral participation, unemployment level and the mayor's gender. Among the tested models, the one composed by the socioeconomic variables and the one constituted by all the study variables presented satisfactory adjustments and degrees of explanation. These and the other results contribute for municipal public managers to rethink the importance of transparent management and to reevaluate their actions within the scope of public administration, and give opportunity to residents, the perception that transparency is
an instrument of fundamental use for social control. Also, given the impossibility of controlling the variables that determine transparency, the results of this study may also be useful to government officials, to justify to citizens the levels of transparency obtained by their municipalities.Nesta pesquisa busca-se verificar a influ?ncia de vari?veis pol?ticas e socioecon?micas no ?ndice de transpar?ncia p?blica dos munic?pios brasileiros. A relev?ncia desta pesquisa est? no reduzido n?mero de estudos que investigam vari?veis pol?ticas associadas ? transpar?ncia p?blica e na aus?ncia de uma an?lise dos fatores a ela relacionados realizada a n?vel nacional, considerando todos os
munic?pios brasileiros como universo amostral e as dimens?es ativa e passiva da
transpar?ncia. Al?m de sua contribui??o para a literatura, entende-se que o estudo da
transpar?ncia ? relevante, uma vez que ? atrav?s dela, e com o apoio das leis que
impuseram sua obrigatoriedade nos entes p?blicos, que a popula??o encontra um
meio de exercer a cidadania e o controle social. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, a
metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa emp?rica, de enfoque quantitativo e de alcance
correlacional. Os munic?pios componentes da amostra foram selecionados por
Amostragem Aleat?ria Estratificada para estimar a Propor??o, mesmo m?todo
utilizado pela terceira edi??o da pesquisa Escala Brasil Transparente (CGU, 2016)
realizada pela Controladoria Geral da Uni?o (CGU). Os dados secund?rios coletados
para o estudo se referem a vari?veis pol?ticas (participa??o eleitoral, competitividade
pol?tica, composi??o legislativa, reelei??o e g?nero do prefeito) e socioecon?micas
(n?vel de desemprego, investimento municipal anual per capita, d?vida municipal anual
per capita e tamanho da popula??o), al?m do ?ndice de transpar?ncia disponibilizado
pelo Ranking Nacional da Transpar?ncia (RNT) do Minist?rio P?blico Federal (MPF).
Estes dados, encontram-se em bases dispon?veis via internet e foram coletados com
o aux?lio de uma planilha eletr?nica. Ap?s, foram analisados e submetidos a testes
estat?sticos (estat?stica descritica, Anova, Teste t, Qui-quadrado, Correla??o de
Pearson e Regress?o de Poisson). Os resultados indicam que nenhuma das vari?veis
pol?ticas investigadas est? relacionada ? transpar?ncia. Por?m, participa??o eleitoral
e g?nero do prefeito exercem influ?ncia sobre o ?ndice de transpar?ncia. Munic?pios
com maiores taxas de participa??o eleitoral s?o mais transparentes, bem como os
munic?pios governados por homens ? resultado que aponta para uma peculiaridade
do contexto brasileiro. Todas as vari?veis socioecon?micas est?o relacionadas ao
?ndice de transpar?ncia, sendo que o n?vel de desemprego apresenta rela??o
negativa. O n?vel de desemprego tamb?m ? a ?nica vari?vel socioecon?mica que
influencia o ?ndice de transpar?ncia. Taxas maiores de desemprego levam a menores
?ndices de transpar?ncia municipal. Em s?ntese, tr?s vari?veis determinam a
transpar?ncia nos munic?pios: participa??o eleitoral, n?vel de desemprego e g?nero do
prefeito. Dentre os modelos testados, aquele composto pelas vari?veis
socioecon?micas e o constitu?do por todas as vari?veis do estudo apresentaram
ajustes e graus de explica??o satisfat?rios. Estes e os demais resultados contribuem
para que os gestores p?blicos municipais repensem a import?ncia de uma gest?o
transparente e reavaliem suas a??es no ?mbito da administra??o p?blica, e oportunizam aos mun?cipes, a percep??o de que a transpar?ncia ? um instrumento de uso fundamental para o controle social. Ainda, diante da impossibilidade de controlar as vari?veis determinantes da transpar?ncia, os resultados deste estudo poder?o tamb?m ser ?teis aos governantes, para justificar aos cidad?os os n?veis de transpar?ncia obtidos pelos seus munic?pios.Ag?ncia
