    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Latar belakang Osteoartritis merupakan jenis artritis yang paling sering terjadi dan osteoartritis lutut memiliki prevalensi yang cukup tinggi dibanding osteoartritis pada sendi-sendi lain. Berbagai faktor di antaranya indeks massa tubuh, penyakit komorbid, dan aktivitas fisik dapat meningkatkan risiko terjadinya osteoartritis lutut yang menimbulkan baik gejala maupun perubahan radiologis pada sendi lutut. Tujuan Mengetahui hubungan antara faktor risiko osteoartritis lutut dengan nyeri, disabilitas, dan berat ringannya osteoartritis. Metode Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Pengambilan subjek menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan informed consent, wawancara, pengukuran tinggi dan berat badan, serta pencatatan terhadap penyakit komorbid dan berat ringan osteoartritis lutut berdasarkan kriteria Kellgren-Lawrence. Untuk menguji hipotesis digunakan uji Chi Square/two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Hasil Didapatkan 50 responden wanita (76.9%) dan 15 responden pria (23.1%). Sebanyak 51 (78.5%) responden mengikuti fisioterapi. Indeks massa tubuh memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan nyeri dan disabilitas yang dirasakan (p = 0.016). Sementara penyakit komorbid menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan dengan berat ringannya penyakit, dengan nilai p = 0.034. Aktivitas fisik tidak memperlihatkan hubungan yang bermakna dengan nyeri, disabilitas, dan berat ringannya osteoartritis lutut. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh bias karena sebagian besar responden menjalani fisioterapi. Kesimpulan Terdapat hubungan antara indeks massa tubuh dengan nyeri dan disabilitas yang dirasakan oleh penderita osteoartritis lutut. Penyakit komorbid berhubungan dengan berat ringannya osteoartritis lutut menurut kriteria Kellgren-Lawrence. Kata kunci : osteoartritis lutut, indeks massa tubuh, penyakit komorbid, nyeri, disabilitas, berat ringannya osteoartritis lutut

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    STUDI PRELIMINARY PERILAKU MEROKOK DAN HIPERTENSI OLEH ANGGOTA KELUARGA DI KELURAHAN SRONDOL WETAN KOTA SEMARANG

    Full text link
    Latar belakang: Program Indonesia Sehat dengan Pendekatan Keluarga (PIS-PK) merupakan program nasional dengan 12 indikator untuk menilai status kesehatan keluarga yang diwujudkan dalam Indeks Keluarga Sehat (IKS). Capaian IKS masih tergolong rendah di Jawa Tengah. Dinas Kesehatan mencatat pada tahun 2019 kota Semarang masih memiliki IKS rendah. IKS di Kelurahan Srondol Wetan Kota Semarang diteliti melalui wawancara dan sistem skoring. Tujuan penelitian: Untuk melakukan pengukuran IKS secara cluster di Kelurahan Srondol Wetan. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi preliminary observasional dengan teknik cluster sampling. Kriteria inklusi adalah keluarga di Kelurahan Srondol Wetan yang berada di rumah saat pelaksanaan penelitian. Kriteria eksklusi adalah keluarga yang menolak mengikuti survei. Pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara. Data dilakukan analisis dengan sistem skoring dan disajikan secara deskriptif. Hasil: Penelitian dilakukan pada 13 keluarga dengan jumlah laki-laki 25 orang dan perempuan 29 orang. Terdapat 9 dari 13 keluarga (69%) memiliki IKS di atas 0,8. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara didapatkan 2 permasalahan utama. Indikator anggota keluarga tidak ada yang merokok didapatkan hasil 38%. Indikator penderita hipertensi melakukan pengobatan secara teratur diperoleh hasil 66%. Anggota keluarga yang merokok telah mengetahui dampak rokok namun tidak dapat menghentikan kebiasaannya. Anggota keluarga yang menderita hipertensi tidak melakukan pengobatan secara teratur terkait kurangnya pengetahuan mengenai gejala dan dampak hipertensi jangka panjang. Kesimpulan: Kelurahan Srondol Wetan memiliki IKS terkategori sehat. Permasalahan utama pada indikator merokok dan hipertensi. Penelitian pendahuluan ini dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai perilaku merokok dan hipertensi di masyarakat, khususnya di Kelurahan Srondol Wetan Kota Semarang
