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
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
Penerapan Evidence Base Nursing Practice Skrining Diabetic Sensorimotori Polineuropathy (DSPN) di UPT RSUD Labuang Baji Makassar
No full textABSTRACT Diabetes Mellitus is a degenerative disease, if not treated properly it can have a negative impact on complications in various organ systems in the body (Syahid, 2021). One of the complications of diabetes that often occurs is neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet which increases the incidence of foot ulcers, infections and even the need for foot amputation (Sianipar, 2023). The aim of this research is to prepare Standard Operating Procedures (SPO) for the implementation of EBNP regarding Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy (DSPN) Screening in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. The number of respondents involved in implementing this EBNP was 14 people. In the implementation of EBNP, Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy (DSPN) screening was carried out using the mTSN (Modified Toronto Clinic Score Neuropathy) instrument which aims to assess whether there are symptoms of neuropathy and no symptoms of neuropathy. DSPN screening is carried out based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Based on the results of the two instrument tests between mTCSN and mNSI-E using the undercurve test, it can be concluded that the mTCSN instrument has a higher sensitivity value with a value of 0.909, while the sensitivity value for the mNSI-E instrument is smaller than the mTCSN instrument with a value of 0.571. So, to screen for neuropathy it is more effective to use the mTCSN instrument because the sensitivity score is higher. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Screening, Polyneuropathy, DSPN ABSTRAK Diabetes Melitus merupakan penyakit degeneratif bila tidak ditangani dengan baik dapat berdampak buruk menjadi komplikasi pada berbagai sistem organ dalam tubuh (Syahid, 2021). Salah satu komlikasi dari diabetes yang sering terjadi adalah Neuropati (kerusakan saraf) dikaki yang meningkatkan kejadian ulkus kaki, infeksi dan bahkan keharusan untuk amputasi kaki (Sianipar, 2023). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah tersusunnya Standar Prosedur Operasional (SPO) pelaksanaan EBNP tentang Skrining Diabetic Sensorimotori Polyneurophaty (DSPN) pada pasien Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2. Jumlah responden yang terlibat pada pelaksanaan EBNP ini adalah 14 orang. Pada pelaksanaan EBNP ini telah dilakukan skirining Diabetic Sensorimotori Polineuropathy (DSPN) dengan menggunakan instrumen mTSN (Modified Toronto Clinic Score Neuropathy) yang bertujuan untuk menilai ada gejala neuropati dan tidak ada gejala neuropati. Skrining DSPN dilakukan berdasarkan Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP). Berdasarkan hasil kedua uji intrumen antara mTCSN dengan mNSI-E menggunakan uji undercurve, maka dapat disimpulkan, instrumen mTCSN memiliki nilai sensitivitas yang lebih tinggi dengan nilai 0.909, sedangkan nilai sensitivitas pada instrumen mNSI-E lebih kecil dari instrumen mTCSN dengan nilai 0.571. Maka, untuk melakukan skrining neuropathylebih efektif digunakan instrumen mTCSN karena skor sensitivitasnya lebih tinggi. Kata Kunci: Diabetes Mellitus, Skrining, Polyneurophaty, DSP
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

Penerapan evidence-based practice aktivitas jalan kaki terhadap penurunan kadar gula darah pada diabetisi
Full text linkBackground: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) increases annually. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can lead to various complications. DM management is known to be based on five pillars: diet, pharmacological treatment, physical activity, education, and blood sugar monitoring. One of the pillars of effective type 2 DM management is physical activity. Recommended physical activities include gymnastics, leisurely cycling, jogging, swimming, and walking. Physical activities such as walking are beneficial for improving insulin sensitivity, maintaining physical fitness, and can help lower blood sugar.
Purpose: To determine the effect of evidence-based walking training (EBNP) on reducing blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
Method: The implementation of evidence-based walking training (EBNP) was experimental with a pre-posttest design, involving 12 participants. The physical activity, which consisted of walking, was performed by people with diabetes for 3 minutes every 30 minutes for 7 hours. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the physical activity.
Results: The mean difference between fasting and post-EBP blood glucose levels was 6.08 with a standard deviation of 57.429 g% and a p-value of 0.721, indicating no significant difference between fasting and post-EBP blood glucose levels. Meanwhile, the mean difference between fasting and post-EBP blood glucose levels was 24.75 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 38.558 g%. The statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.048, indicating a significant difference between 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels and those after EBP implementation.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference between fasting blood glucose levels before and after EBNP implementation (p = 0.721). However, there was a significant difference in 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels (p = 0.048), indicating that walking can reduce postprandial blood glucose levels.
Keywords: Blood Sugar Levels; Evidence-Based Practice; People with Diabetes; Walking Activity.
Pendahuluan: Prevalensi penyakit diabetes melitus (DM) semakin meningkat setiap tahunnya. DM yang tidak terkontrol kadar gula darahnya dapat menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi. Pengelolaan penyakit DM disebut dengan lima pilar meliputi diet, pengobatan farmakologi, aktivitas fisik, edukasi, dan monitor kadar gula darah. Salah satu pilar dalam pengelolaan DM tipe 2 yang efektif yaitu aktivitas fisik. Aktivitas fisik yang telah direkomendasikan meliputi senam, bersepeda santai, jogging, berenang, dan jalan kaki. Aktivitas fisik seperti jalan kaki bermanfaat untuk memperbaiki sensitivitas insulin, menjaga kebugaran tubuh, dan dapat membantu dalam menurunkan gula darah.
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh evidence-based practice aktivitas jalan kaki terhadap penurunan kadar gula darah pada diabetisi.
Metode: Penerapan evidence-based practice (EBNP) ini bersifat eksperimen menggunakan design pre-post test dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 12 partisipan. Aktivitas fisik berupa jalan kaki dilakukan oleh diabetisi selama 3 menit setiap 30 menit dalam waktu 7 jam. Diabetisi dilakukan pengukuran kadar gula darah sebelum dan sesudah aktivitas fisik.
Hasil: Nilai mean perbedaan antara pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah puasa dan kadar glukosa darah setelah penerapan EBP adalah 6.08 dengan standar deviasi 57.429 gr% dan p value sebesar 0.721, menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah puasa dan kadar glukosa darah setelah penerapan EBP. Sementara itu, nilai mean perbedaan antara pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah puasa dan kadar glukosa darah setelah penerapan EBP adalah 24.75 mg/dl dengan standar deviasi 38.558 gr%. Hasil uji statistik didapatkan p value 0.048, menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah 2 jam post prandial dan kadar glukosa darah setelah penerapan EBP.
Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara kadar glukosa darah puasa sebelum dan sesudah penerapan EBNP (p = 0.721). Namun, terdapat perbedaan signifikan pada kadar glukosa darah 2 jam post prandial (p = 0.048), sehingga aktivitas fisik jalan kaki terbukti berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kadar glukosa darah setelah makan.
