Digital teknik för kommunikation mellan vårdnadshavare och barnsjukvård : En intervjustudie om hur vårdnadshavare till barn som har anorektal missbildning och/eller Hirschsprungs sjukdom upplever kommunikation via en applikation
No full textBakgrund: Vårdnadshavare till barn som har anorektal missbildning (ARM) och Hirschsprungs sjukdom (HD) uttrycker ett behov av stöd från barnsjukvården. Studier visar att kommunikation mellan hemmet och barnsjukvården via digital teknik ökar vårdnadshavares trygghet. Kommunikation via digital teknik, såsom en applikation kan vara en lösning till ökat stöd även för vårdnadshavare till barn som har ARM och/eller HD. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur vårdnadshavare till barn som har ARM och/eller HD upplever kommunikation med barnsjukvården via en applikation. Metod: Kvalitativ metod med induktiv ansats. Via ändamålsenligt urval inkluderades tio vårdnadshavare till barn som har ARM och/eller HD. Datainsamlingen utfördes genom uppföljande semistrukturerade intervjuer efter intervention av en applikation. Intervjuerna genomfördes efter en respektive två veckors användning av applikationen. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fem slutgiltiga kategorier framkom i dataanalysen: Periodvis användbar, Kompletterande kommunikationssätt, Tillgänglighet till barnsjukvården, Underlättar planeringen av tid och Stöd i bedömningar. Vårdnadshavarna upplevde att applikationen som användes i studien var användbar i perioder såsom vid permission och utskrivning till hemmet. Däremot upplevdes den omotiverad i perioder då barnet mådde bra. Samtliga vårdnadshavare upplevde att kommunikationssättet var enkelt och kände en närmare kontakt med barnsjukvården. De kände också att kommunikationssättet gav dem möjlighet att styra sin egen tid. Via applikationen fick vårdnadshavarna stöd i bedömningar kring barnets behandlingar och upplevde en ökad trygghet i hemmet. Vårdnadshavarna kände att applikationen var ett bra komplement för kommunikation med barnsjukvården men det kunde inte ersätta det fysiska mötet. Slutsats: Vårdnadshavare till ARM och/eller HD upplever att kommunikation med barnsjukvården via en applikation kan ge dem återkoppling och på så sätt bidra till det stöd de tidigare uttryckt sig sakna i hemmet.Background: Legal guardians of children with Anorectal Malformation (ARM) and Hirschsprung’s Disease (HD) express a need of support from pediatric healthcare. Studies demonstrate how communication between home and pediatric care through digital technology increase the legal guardians comfort. Communication through digital technology, such as an application, could be a solution to increase the support for legal guardians of children with ARM and/or HD. Aim: The aim was to illustrate how legal guardians of children with ARM and/or HD experience communication with pediatric care through an application. Method: Qualitative method with an inductive approach. Ten legal guardians of children with ARM and/or HD participated through purposive sampling. Datacollection through follow-up semi-structured interviews after intervention of an application. The interviews were performed after one and two weeks of use of the application. The interview material was analyzed through content analysis. Results: Five final categories emerged from the data analysis: Useful in periods, Complementary mean of communication, Accessibility to pediatric healthcare, To facilitate time management and Support in assessments. Legal guardians experienced the application that was used in this study as useful in periods of leave or discharge to home. On the other hand they experienced that the application was unjustified in periods when the child was feeling well. All of the legal guardians experienced the mean of communication as easy and felt a closer connection to pediatric care. They also felt that the mean of communication gave them the possibility to master their own time. The legal guardians received support in assessments in regards of their child’s treatment through the application and experienced increased comfort in their home. The legal guardians felt that the application was a good complement for communication with pediatric care but that it could not substitute de physical meeting. Conclusion: Legal guardians of children with ARM and/or HD experience that communication with pediatric care through an application can give them feedback and thus contribute to the support that they previously have been missing in their home
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
