Perfil sensorial de Winnie Dunn y rendimiento académico en estudiantes del nivel inicial de la I.E. Nº 325 de Nuevo Chimbote, Áncash
Full text linkEste estudio tiene como finalidad determinar la relación entre el perfil sensorial de Winnie Dunn y el desempeño académico en estudiantes del nivel inicial. El estudio se realizó en la I. E. N. ° 325, ubicada en Nuevo Chimbote, donde se seleccionó a 50 niños en edades comprendidas entre tres y seis años.
Para estudiar la población, se utilizó la prueba de perfil sensorial de Winnie Dunn y se consideró el rendimiento académico, entendido este como los promedios de las notas obtenidas de los alumnos. Como resultado, se estableció que existía correlación significativa entre la dimensión de procesamiento sensorial y el rendimiento académico, puesto que el 100% de los alumnos que presentó rendimiento académico en proceso tenía el perfil de diferencia probable. Además, se halló correlación entre la dimensión de modulación y el rendimiento académico, ya que el 50% de los estudiantes que tenía rendimiento académico en proceso presentó diferencia probable, y, por último, se evidenció que la dimensión de reacciones conductuales y de comportamiento estaba asociada al rendimiento académico, porque el 50% de los educandos que tenía rendimiento académico en proceso se encuentran dentro del perfil de diferencia probable. Finalmente, se halló que el 80% de los alumnos que tenían rendimiento académico en proceso se encontraba dentro del perfil sensorial de diferencia probable; entonces, se concluye que, entre menor sea el nivel de rendimiento académico, existirá mayor probabilidad de que los alumnos presenten disfunción sensorial. Se advierte así que, efectivamente, se presenta una correlación entre el perfil sensorial y el rendimiento académico, lo cual se ha probado estadísticamente.The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Winnie Dunn's sensory profile and academic performance in beginning-level students. The study was carried out at EI No. 325, located in Nuevo Chimbote, where 50 children between the ages of 3 and 6 were selected.
For the study population, the Winnie Dunn sensory profile test was used and academic performance was analyzed through the averages of the students. As results, it was established that there is a significant correlation between the sensory processing dimension and academic performance, since 100% of the students who presented academic performance in process have the probable difference profile. In addition, there is a correlation in that the modulation dimension is associated with academic performance, since 50% of the students who have academic performance in process presented a probable difference and, finally, it was evidenced that the dimension of behavioral reactions and behavior was associated with academic performance, because 50% of the students who have academic performance in progress are within the profile of probable difference. Finally, it was found that 80% of the students who had academic performance in progress were within the sensory profile of probable difference; Therefore, it is concluded that the lower the level of academic performance, the greater the probability that the students present sensory dysfunction. Noting that there is indeed a correlation between the sensory profile and academic performance, which has been statistically proven
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
The Sensations of Everyday Life: Empirical, Theoretical, and Pragmatic Considerations
No full textAbstract
The experience of being human is embedded in sensory events of everyday life. This lecture reviews sensory processing literature, including neuroscience and social science perspectives. Introduced is Dunn’s Model of Sensory Processing, and the evidence supporting this model is summarized. Specifically, using Sensory Profile questionnaires (i.e., items describing responses to sensory events in daily life; persons mark the frequency of each behavior), persons birth to 90 years of age demonstrate four sensory processing patterns: sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, sensory sensitivity, and low registration. These patterns are based on a person’s neurological thresholds and self-regulation strategies. Psychophysiology studies verify these sensory processing patterns; persons with strong preferences in each pattern also have unique patterns of habituation and responsivity in skin conductance. Studies also indicate that persons with disabilities respond differently than peers on these questionnaires, suggesting underlying poor sensory processing in certain disorders, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental delays, and schizophrenia.
The author proposes relationships between sensory processing and temperament and personality traits. The four categories of temperament share some consistency with the four sensory processing patterns described in Dunn’s model. As with temperament, each person has some level of responsiveness within each sensory processing preference (i.e., a certain amount of seeking, avoiding, etc., not one or the other). The author suggests that one’s sensory processing preferences simultaneously reflect his or her nervous system needs and form the basis for the manifestation of temperament and personality. The final section of this lecture outlines parameters for developing best practice that supports interventions based on this knowledge.</jats:p

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
