Factors Related to Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination Status in Mpunda Public Health Center
Full text linkPregnant women were among the vulnerable population for COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to carry out a complete COVID-19 vaccination. Complete COVID-19 vaccination status for pregnant women is when the pregnant woman has received two doses of the vaccine, where the first dose of vaccination begins in the second trimester of pregnancy and the second dose is given according to the interval of the type of vaccine. Even though the Covid-19 vaccination program has contributed to reducing death rates and infectious diseases, there will still be concerns and doubts among pregnant women and women of reproductive age. Therefore, this research is aimed to observe and analyze factors related to Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination Status specifically in Mpunda Public Health Center, Bima. This study employs a mixed-method analysis and was conducted in Mpunda Public Health Center involving 136 pregnant women. We found that socioeconomic factor such as income level, prior vaccination status, and vaccination history was significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccination status among pregnant women, but not history of adverse events. We also concluded that fear of vaccine was significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccination status among pregnant women. Results of this research hopefully can add to the growing body of evidence regarding maternal COVID-19 vaccination status and aid the policy-making process regarding this topic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Age and Parity as Risk Factors for Childbirth Complications: A Systematic Review
Full text linkMaternal deaths result from complications during, after pregnancy and childbirth. Factors affecting maternal mortality in Indonesia are 4 too and 3 too late. The main causes that account for nearly 75% of all maternal deaths are postpartum hemorrhage, infection, high blood pressure during pregnancy, complications from childbirth and unsafe abortion. This study aimed to analyze, synthesize, summarize and compare the results of one study with another on "The Relationship of Age and Parity to the Incidence of Complications of Childbirth. The method used in this study was to search various online data centers namely PubMed, Science Direct, Directory of Open Access Journals, Wiley, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus. It was found that advanced maternal age and parity status was associated with an increased risk of delivery or obstetrics complication
The Effect of Food on the Incident of Hypertension
Full text linkHypertension is the condition of a person whose blood pressure is above the normal limit according to medical regulations, namely greater than 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney failure and the main cause of death throughout the world. Consuming foods that are high in fat, carbohydrates, fiber and sodium can increase the occurrence of hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of food on the incidence of hypertension. This research uses several relevant literature from various references and focuses on risk factors for hypertension, one of which is food. The references used came from searches on NCBI, Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct and 25 data-based sources were obtained. The results of this research are that there is an influence between food sources such as carbohydrates, fat and sodium which can increase the occurrence of hypertension and high fiber consumption which helps to reduce the occurrence of hypertension. Excessive sodium consumption causes the sodium concentration in the extracellular fluid to increase. And consuming excess carbohydrates can cause triglyceride levels in the blood to increase, causing carbohydrates to be converted into fat. High fat levels can cause atherosclerosis which will ultimately lead to hypertension. The conclusion is that consuming foods high in carbohydrates, fat and sodium can cause hypertension and high fiber consumption can help minimize the occurrence of hypertension
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
