Perspectives of Muslim husbands' roles in women's health and cancer in Indonesia
No full textIn developing countries such as Indonesia, women face many health issues, including cancer. Social, cultural and economic factors are known barriers to women accessing health services and achieving a good health. Studies in Indonesia suggest that husbands’ support may influence women’s health behaviour, including women in breast and cervical screening and treatments. However, little is known in Indonesia about husbands’ roles in women’s health, including illness prevention, early detection, and treatment of women’s cancer. The main objectives of this study were to uncover Muslim husbands’ roles and perspectives regarding women’s health and women’s cancer, and to establish whether there were different perspectives of husbands’ roles related to geographical location, age or other social, health or cultural characteristics. This study used an Islamic ontological approach. The Basic Model of Religiosity and Health, the Health Belief Model, and the Help-Seeking Behaviour and Influencing Factors Framework theories informed data collection. A descriptive exploratory methodology was used. Methods included focus groups with 11 groups (n=73) of married Muslim men, and interviews with married Muslim women (n=20) and health professionals (n=10) from rural and urban areas of West Java province, Indonesia. Data were analysed using two techniques: the Comparative Analysis for Focus Group and the Comparative Analysis for Interviews. The findings revealed that Islamic teaching has an extremely significant position for Muslims husbands in guiding them in their family’s roles. Muslim husbands were very involved in women’s health and cancer. These roles were influenced by internal and external factors. Husbands’ significant roles in women’s health include maintaining women’s health and facilitating health treatments. However, they have a limited role in disease prevention, and early detection of women’s cancer. Muslim husbands’ limited health literacy of women’s cancer was a significant barrier in rural and downtown areas. This study’s findings contribute to a new perspective on religion as a vital influence and driver of health and health behaviour in nursing theory. There is a need for Indonesian nursing practice to incorporate a cultural safety approach to caring for Muslim husbands and wives, and for nurses to ensure men are more fully informed about women’s health. This study identified the need for improvements in health services and a reform of the health system especially in improving husbands’ knowledge and awareness of women’s cancer, and the dissemination of information about women’s cancer services, especially in rural and downtown areas. Additional health education programmes including some that target men’s health literacy are required alongside improvements in health services, especially women’s cancer services
The Effectiveness of Neobil Caring Support Therapy on Changes of Serum Bilirubin Levels of Total Hyperbilirubinemia Neonates at Dustira Cimahi Hospital
Full text linkLess breast feeding and slow treatment of light therapy can strengthen the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. The purpose of this research is to know the effectiveness of caring therapy NEOBIL to change the value of bilirubin levels of serum hyperbilirubinemia total physiological in neonatal in Dustira Hospital, Cimahi City. The research design uses a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group design pre-test post-test. Samples were taken consecutive divided into intervention groups (29 respondents) and control groups (29 respondents) following the criteria of inclusion. The research instrument used is the action observation sheet and machine tool of TMS 24i & 50i. Data is analyzed using a t-test paired and independent t-test. Results showed average levels of total serum bilirubin after intervention in the intervention group (9.17) while the control group (11.23) between the two groups was a meaningful decline (P-value 0.002). Based on the results of Caring therapy Research support NEOBIL more effectively statistically help light therapy lowers the value of total serum bilirubin.Pemberian ASI kurang dan lambatnya perawatan terapi cahaya dapat memperberat akumulasiilirubin di dalam darah.

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
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
Edukasi Kesehatan Teknik Menyusui Menggunakan Media Video dan Media Leaflet terhadap Pencegahan Puting Lecet pada Ibu Postpartum
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the comparison of health education on breastfeeding techniques using video media with leaflets on the prevention of sore nipples in postpartum mothers. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a two-group pre-test-posttest design. The research results show a comparison of knowledge and skills in leaflet media and video media after education, namely that there is no significant difference in understanding with a p-value of 0.301. Still, there is a substantial difference in skills with a p-value of 0.008; video media health education influences skills. Postpartum mothers should use breastfeeding techniques because they attract more attention and provide auditory and visual stimuli simultaneously to maximize results. In conclusion, video media health education can be used to improve the skills of postpartum mothers so that video media can be an alternative for delivering information to postpartum mothers.

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
