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
Prevalensi dan Pola Kepekaan Bakteri Gram Negatif Multidrug Resistant dari Kultur Sputum Penyebab Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Bawah Non-Tuberkulosis Tahun 2022-2023
Full text linkPendahuluan: Infeksi saluran pernapasan bawah non-tuberkulosis sering disebabkan oleh berbagai macam bakteri Gram negatif seperti Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas sp., dan Acinetobacter baumannii. Penggunaan antibiotik tanpa mengetahui bakteri penyebab dapat menyebabkan resistensi, termasuk multidrug-resistant (MDR), yang menyulitkan pengobatan serta meningkatkan risiko kematian. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui prevalensi dan pola kepekaan bakteri Gram negatif multidrug-resistant dari kultur sputum penyebab infeksi saluran napas bawah non-tuberkulosis. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional deskriptif dengan desain kohort retrospektif yang dilakukan di rumah sakit swasta di Kota Bekasi dari Juni 2022 hingga Desember 2023. Hasil: Didapatkan 72 isolat (88,9%) adalah bakteri Gram negatif MDR, sebanyak 47 pasien (67,1%) adalah laki-laki dengan mayoritas usia lebih dari 28 hari - 18 tahun (57,1%), 54,3% pasien meninggal. Acinetobacter baumannii merupakan isolat terbanyak, isolat tersebut 100% resisten terhadap cefazoline, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, meropenem, gentamicin, dan ciprofloxacin. Kesimpulan: Pada penelitian ini ditemukan bakteri MDR Gram negatif terbanyak adalah Acinobater baumannii yaitu 19 isolat (26,3%). Bakteri MDR Gram negatif rata-rata mengalami resistensi tinggi terhadap golongan antibiotik penicillin dan cephalosporin. Dan sensitif terhadap tigecycline dan amikacin
 
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
Prevalensi bayi lahir cacat (Malformasi Kongenital) di Rumah Sakit Pendidikan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas YARSI
Full text linkCongenital Malformations was instrumental in perinatal morbidity and infant mortality. Patients with severe disorders are classified to be affected physically, mentally, and socially and require special attention. Prevalence data from various types of congenital malformations may be useful to plan primary prevention measures for such disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of congenital malformations at the teaching hospitals, Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University. In this study, data were obtained from medical records in four teaching hospitals i.e. Abdul Muluk Hospital in Bandar Lampung, Lampung, Serang General Hospital in Serang, Banten, Garut General Hospital in Garut, and Gunung Jati General Hospital in Cirebon, West Java, within a period of three years i.e. 2005 to 2007. Based on ICD-10 codes, eight groups involving 18 types of birth defects were recorded. Among 25,276 babies born in four previously mentioned hospitals, 283 babies were born with congenital malformation. The prevalence of congenital malformations in Abdul Muluk Hospital was 11.31% with the frequency of 5.961/1,000 live birth, Serang Hospital was 13.78% with the frequency of 7.163/1,000 live birth, Garut Hospital was 33.92% with the frequency of 9.777/1,000 live birth and Gunung Jati Hospital was 40.99% with the frequency of 24.98/1000 live birth. Various disorders were noted, being the most common was disorder in the digestive system (25.80%), followed by the musculoskeletal system (20.49%), and the nervous system (16.61%). In conclusion, the total prevalence of congenital malformations in the teaching hospital, Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University was 1.12% with the frequency of 11.2/1000 live births. Congenital malformations were particularly prominent in Gunung Jati General Hospitals Cirebon, West Java
Knowledge and Attitudes of Health Science and Non-Health Sciences in the Use of Antibiotics in DKI Jakarta Province and Their Review from Islamic Perspectives
No full textBackground: Antibiotics are used to treat infectious diseases caused by bacteria, but because of the public's perception that killing antibiotics can be used for all diseases, and the easy access to antibiotics due to poor supervision causes the rationality of using antibiotics to be doubted. Antibiotics used not according to the rules will cause serious problems such as side effects of these drugs and antibiotic resistance.Methods: The method used is by distributing questionnaires to health and non-health sciences in DKI Jakarta Province. The number of samples is 161 people using stratified sampling technique.Results: The results showed that in the knowledge category, health sciences had good knowledge of 33%, while non-health sciences had good knowledge of 6.6%. From the overall cross tabulation of 161 people, the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge and a positive attitude of 81.1%.Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that health sciences have more broad insight to use antibiotics better when compared to non-health sciences. The ability of health professionals must be strengthened to prescribe and administer antibiotics appropriately and to communicate effectively with patients. Governments should promote specific information on the rational use of antibiotics and AMR to certain target groups
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
