The Urgency of Marriage Disability from the Perspective of Fiqh and Compilation of Islamic Law (Khi)
Authors: Evanurfitriani Evanurfitriani
Published: February 2025

Marriage is an inner bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy and eternal family based on the One Godhead". Marriage will play a role after each mass of people is ready to play a positive role in realizing the purpose of marriage itself. The same thing is in line with Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage article 1, which reads: However, the marriage has not fulfilled the formal law of marriage because it has not been recorded with the authorized registrar/does not have a marriage certificate book. Therefore, even though the marriage is materially valid, but formally the marriage is not yet valid, so that it is forever considered that there has never been an exception marriage if it can be proven by the Marriage Certificate issued by the Marriage Registrar.     That by recording the marriage in the Office of Religious Affairs, the marriage has received legal certainty and protection, including against the consequences arising from the said marriage, a woman who marries a man and her marriage is not recorded in the marriage registrar, if the husband is negligent or neglects his obligations, if a wife demands from her husband to fulfill his obligations in court as stipulated in the article 34 paragraph (3) of Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage or will sue her husband in court for having committed intercession as stipulated in article 9 of Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning the elimination of domestic violence (KDRT), then she will experience difficulties due to the absence of authentic evidence of the existence of a legal relationship in the form of marriage between the wife and her husband
Application of the British Columbia Water Quality Index (BC-WQI) Method to Determine the Water Quality Status of Lake Sentani in Jayapura
Authors: Suhartawan Bambang
Published: February 2025

This Lake Sentani in Papua Province has significant ecological and economic value and is a source of life for the local community. However, intensive anthropogenic activities around the lake result in a decline in water quality that threatens the ecosystem and public health. This study aims to examine the water quality status of Lake Sentani using the British Columbia Water Quality Index (BC-WQI) method, which is able to integrate various physical, chemical, and biological parameters into one quality index that is easy to interpret. Data collection was carried out at three location points in the upstream, middle, and downstream parts of Lake Sentani, with in situ and ex situ testing for ten water quality parameters such as TDS, pH, BOD, COD, heavy metals Pb, oils and fats, and total coliforms. The calculation of the water quality index uses the values of F1 (scope), F2 (frequency), and F3 (amplitude) to determine the BC-WQI. The results showed that at station 1 (Ifale) the BC-WQI value was 37.62 (good quality), at station 2 (Asei) it was 49.92 (poor quality), and at station 3 (Jaifuri) it was 67.69 (poor quality). Thus, the water quality downstream of the lake is classified as unsafe for consumption or clean water without adequate treatment. This study shows the importance of integrated management and efforts to preserve water quality to maintain the sustainability of Lake Sentani.

Published: February 2025

Background. The most common medical sequelae after earthquakes are crush injuries and syndromes that require urgent and well-organized care, which further complicates the approach in the face of overstretched resources. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.7, was one of the largest disasters in Türkiye, affecting 11 cities with a population of about 13.5 million people and claiming more than 50,000 deaths. Approximately 4.6 million pediatric patients were affected, with over 500 children undergoing amputations. The overwhelming number of cases rendered further treatment efforts nearly unfeasible.
Cases. Here we present three cases of severe crush injuries in which amputation was initially considered in both primary and our tertiary centers but was prevented by a protocol that included therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and intensive hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT). Based on our review of the literature, this appears to be the first case series documenting the use of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in the management of crush injury.
Conclusion. In extremities at risk for amputation, TPE therapy is crucial to preventing disseminated intravascular coagulation, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and the accompanying multiorgan failure. It has been shown that extremities at risk for amputation due to poor perfusion can be managed confidently during the safe recovery period of daily TPE therapy with frequent HBOT, anticoagulant and vasodilator treatments, frequent wound care to prevent the development of infection, prophylactic antibiotics, vacuum-assisted closure therapy, and debridement when necessary.

Authors: Şimşek Ayşe , Tokgöz Hüseyin , Çalışkan Ümran
Published: February 2025

Background. Granulocytic sarcoma (GS), or myeloid sarcoma or chloroma, is a tumoral mass containing myeloblasts and immature granulocytes in an anatomic site other than the bone marrow. GS is very rare in children with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This case report presents a rare case of GS manifesting as a solitary bone mass.
Case. A 15-year-old female presented with left knee pain. Complete blood count and biochemistry were normal. No blasts or early granulocytic elements were observed in the peripheral blood smear. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 4x4-cm solid lesion extending to the physis line in the distal metaphyseal section of the left femur. A Tru-cut biopsy of the mass confirmed GS with immature promyelocytic cell infiltration containing Auer rods and immature myeloid cells. The t(15;17) mutation was highly positive in the tissue suspension. Bone marrow aspiration performed afterward showed no abnormalities, and acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia mutation panels were negative. The patient was diagnosed as having APL presenting as GS of isolated femoral origin. Treatment with standard-risk chemotherapy, including all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) according to the BFM 2013 protocol, was initiated. After 2 months, a repeat biopsy showed no pathologic promyelocytic infiltration and a negative t(15;17) mutation. However, the patient died of severe neutropenia, sepsis, and typhoid fever.
Conclusion. This case contributes to the literature as a rare presentation of APL as isolated femoral GS. It is the first reported case of an isolated femoral mass in this context to the best of our knowledge.

Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effect of Naproxen and Ibuprofen on post-operative endodontic pain in teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
METHODOLOGY: A single-blind randomized control trial was conducted by recruiting 116 patients who presented with irreversible pulpitis and were divided into two groups of 58 each through a simple randomization technique using the lottery method. Post-operative pain for both groups was measured with a Visual analogue scale (VAS). This was a 10 cm scale, with markings at every 1 cm anchored by the end points of "no pain" on the right and "worst pain" on the left. After initial root canal treatment, Group A was given Naproxen 550 mg (Synflex), while Group B was given ibuprofen 400mg (Novafen). Each patient was given instructions to record pain, if they experienced any pain post-treatment, and then take the painkiller given to them and again record the pain after 24 hours. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. For descriptive analysis, mean and standard deviation were reported for age, BMI, and VAS score, whereas frequency and percentages were calculated for categorical variables like gender and pain relief.
RESULTS: Naproxen reduced more pain on VAS pain score than ibuprofen in terms of efficacy in teeth with irreversible pulpitis but the results were insignificant (p-value 0.164). There was no significant effect of age, gender, BMI, and educational status on post-operative pain. The baseline characteristics of the patients in the study are given in Table 2.

CONCLUSION: Both drugs (Naproxen & Ibuprofen) can be used to reduce post-operative pain in teeth with irreversible pulpitis

Integrating Machine Learning-Based Pose Sampling with Established Scoring Functions for Virtual Screening
Authors: Vu Thi Ngoc Lan , Fooladi Hosein , Kirchmair Johannes
Published: February 2025

Abstract Classical docking methods have dominated the field of structure-based virtual screening (VS) for decades. Recently, several machine learning (ML)-based docking approaches have been introduced, presenting a promising avenue for advancing VS technologies. In this work, we report on the integration of DiffDock-L, one of the most promising ML-based pose sampling methods, into VS workflows by combining it with the established Vina and Gnina scoring functions. We assess the integrated approach regarding its VS effectiveness, pose sampling quality, and complementarity to classical docking methods, represented by AutoDock Vina. Our results on the DUD-Z benchmark data set show that pose sampling with DiffDock-L and AutoDock Vina yields comparable performance. In contrast, the choice of the scoring function has a decisive impact on VS success. In general, DiffDock-L generates physically plausible and biologically relevant poses in most cases, confirming it as a viable alternative to classical docking algorithms.

The concept of thyroid status is much broader than assessing the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone, free and bound thyroid hormones in the systemic circulation. It includes features of transport, tissue bioavailability, receptor interaction, metabolism, biomolecular mechanisms of action and inactivation, as well as the physiological or pathophysiological basis of changes in function and the pathomorphological substrate of diseases, including malignancies. Therefore, the question of the mechanisms through which thyroid status influences the processes of tumor initiation and promotion in the gastrointestinal tract is extremely relevant. Regarding colorectal cancer, an ambiguous link between thyroid status has been identified – in some studies, an increase in free T4 concentration and thyrotoxicosis are associated with a decreased risk of developing colon cancer, while in others, the administration of levothyroxine in hypothyroidism had a protective effect. The risk of gastric cancer is elevated in men living in regions with suboptimal or above-normal iodine consumption and suffering from various thyroid pathologies. This paper analyzes modern ideas about pathogenetic relationship between gastric and colon cancer and patients' thyroid status. It presents physiological and biochemical basics of thyroid status formation. Deiodinase expression profile in gastric and colon cancer is stated. The problem of iodine-induced disthyroidoses following radiation procedures using iodine-containing contrasts is described in detail.
ANALYZING THERMAL-HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS DURING COLD LEG LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT WITHOUT REACTOR SCRAM USING PCTRAN MODEL OF VVER-1200
Authors: Hossen Muhammed Mufazzal , Ahmed Saikat , Hossain Mahmud
Published: February 2025

The loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the cold leg, including breaks of 0.000507 m2 (Case-1), a break of 0.008110 m2 (Case-2), a break of 0.129720 m2 (Case-3), a break of 0.164170 m2 (Case-4), 0.202680 m2 (Case-5), and a break of 0.240800 m2 (Case-6), with the concurrent incident of the anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) and the loss of AC power, have been simulated and analyzed by applying the personal computer transient analyzer (PCTRAN) simulator model of the VVER-1200 nuclear power plant (NPP). The larger break size results in a smaller pressure and temperature of the reactor coolant system (RCS) during the simulation period. The RCS pressure was lower than 110% of the initial operating pressure in all cases. The secondary side pressure of the steam generator was stabilized earlier for the larger break accident cases. There is no decrease in the liquid level of the core in Cases 1 and 2, but it becomes empty in Cases 3, 4, 5, and 6 just after the initiation of the accident. The pressurizer liquid level increases rapidly for Cases 1 and 2, due to the liquid surge towards the pressurizer after the initiation of the accident, but it becomes empty in Cases 3, 4, 5, and 6. The falling liquid level of the steam generator is higher in smaller break accident cases. The break mass flow rate decreases to a plateau value earlier for smaller break cases. The thermal power of the reactor, peak cladding temperature (PCT), and fuel temperature showed a rapid drop after the initiation of the accident, followed by an increase to a peak value. At the end of the simulation, there was a drastic drop in reactor thermal power, PCT, and fuel temperatures for Case-6 due to the supply of boric acid solution to the reactor. Among the accident cases, the maximum values of PCT and peak fuel temperature for Case-6 were recorded as 646.20 °C and 2084.88 °C, respectively, which is within the acceptable range for a design basis accident of a pressurized water reactor. Thus, the major thermal-hydraulic parameters were within acceptable values for the cold leg break LOCA with the simultaneous initiation of the ATWS and the loss of AC power of the VVER-1200 NPP model of the PCTRAN simulator.
ENVIRONMENT-CONTROLLED THIN-LAYER-DRYING OF CUT-ROSELLE: DRYING-EXPERIMENTS, EFFECTS OF DRYING-SETTINGS, DRYING-MODELS
Authors: Saeed I.E. , Abidin Zulkhairi Zainol
Published: February 2025

This research investigated how the drying-conditions affect drying-performance of Cut-Roselle (Hibiscus_sabdariffa L.). The experiments are conducted using Constant-Temperature-Humidity-Chamber, where varied temperatures (35,45,55,65°C) and relative humidity levels (30,35,40,45,50%) are tested. The drying process for Cut-Roselle primarily occurred during the falling-rate-period. Notably, the drying-air temperature significantly, influenced the drying-kinetics, with higher temperatures (ranging from 35 to 65°C) resulted in shorter drying-times. Relative-humidity had a lesser-impact compared to the temperature. Extended drying-periods and increased equilibrium moisture levels are observed under conditions of elevated relative-humidity and reduced temperatures. An evaluation of various thin-layer drying-models is conducted to determine the most accurate model for the drying-characteristics. The Modified-Page II model demonstrated exceptional fit quality, with R2=0.99949. It effectively described the dehydration-behavior of Cut-Roselle within the range of the experimental drying-parameters.

Authors: Onuwa Godfrey C.
Published: February 2025

In developing countries, more than 2.5 billion people depend on fossil and biomass fuels as their main source of household fuel for cooking, heating, and lighting. This study therefore evaluates factors affecting fuel consumption preferences among rural households in Jos-North, Plateau State, Nigeria. The research utilized various sampling methods. Information was gathered from 113 participants and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Weighted Average Index (WAI). The results revealed that the most common fuel variants in the area were charcoal (92%), fuel wood (82%) and kerosene (71%). Also, mean monthly income and fuel consumption expenditure per household was ₦36,850 and ₦7,150, respectively. Further, the factors affecting households’ fuel consumption preferences are significant and as such affected consumption preferences among respondents in the area; as indicated by factors including fuel cost (2.46), fuel efficiency (2.33), fuel availability (2.31), fuel safety (2.27) and fuel emission (2.19). This study therefore recommends adoption of policies that regulates and subsidizes prices of fuel variants; development of efficient and environmentally compatible fuel alternatives or substitutes; that maximizes households’ needs, mitigates environmental degradation and high carbon emissions. In addition, policies that will ensure adequate supply and availability of fuel variants, mitigate consumption constraints, as well as facilitate equity in income redistribution among low-income households are also suggested.

Published: February 2025

Processing soybeans, for planting and business purposes involves sorting them by size, which is a procedure. In Bangladesh, unsorted soybeans are commonly traded in the market. Selling soybeans after grading would be advantageous for growers and buyers both. Soybeans are graded by hand when needed because there are no automatic graders available. This is an expensive, inefficient, and time-consuming procedure. To provide a workable way of grading marketable soybeans by size, the current study was conducted to develop and build a horizontal swing-type grader for village-level activities. The grading unit, outlet tray, AC motor, and hopper are all fixed to a frame that makes up the grader. The grader was built using resources that could be found nearby to maintain cheap prices. The grading unit was constructed with a mild steel angle bar frame, hopper, and output tray made of mild steel sheet in addition to a stainless-steel sieve. A 1 hp single-phase electric motor was employed as the prime mover, and the rpm was decreased using a 16:1 gearing. These were examined on soybean seeds as independent variables to evaluate how they affected the capacity, power consumption, and efficiency of the grading system. After the data were examined, it was determined that the grader’s ideal configuration had a delivery rate of 341.71 kg/hr and an inclination of 12°, which resulted in a power consumption of 229.32 W-hr and a system efficiency of 71.38 percent. The device should be improved further to boost effectiveness and economy as well as to make loading and using it easier.
Femicidios-suicidios en el marco de la pareja y la expareja Aportes para su explicación causal a partir de una relectura de investigaciones sobre los homicidios-suicidios
Authors: Gambeta Victoria , Vanoli Sofia
Published: February 2025

Con base en una sistematización de investigaciones sobre los homicidios seguidos del suicidio del autor, este artículo repasa las principales teorías utilizadas por la literatura criminológica para explicar los homicidios de mujeres en el marco de la pareja o la expareja en los que el autor se suicida. Aunque no provienen del feminismo académico, estos aportes ubican al control, la propiedad sexual y la construcción de la masculinidad como categorías analíticas centrales. Por tanto, elaboran explicaciones que pueden ser retomadas desde un abordaje feminista para conceptualizar estos incidentes como femicidios íntimos-suicidios y profundizar en sus mecanismos causales.

Flutuações Temporais na Regeneração Natural dos Manguezais Amazônicos na Estação Ecológica de Maracá-Jipioca, Amapá, Brasil
Authors: Magalhães Alison Pereira de , Miranda Zenaide Palheta
Published: February 2025

O manguezal é considerado um ecossistema complexo, e o conhecimento da dinâmica dos estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento das espécies arbóreas é fundamental para a compreensão dos processos que regulam a estabilidade deste ambiente. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a dinâmica da regeneração natural de Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa e Rhizophora mangle nas fisionomias franja, bacia e transição na Estação Ecológica de Maracá-Jipioca (EEMJ). Foi hipotetizado que há diferenças de densidade, recrutamento e mortalidade nas fisionomias encontradas. Para avaliar a regeneração natural foi realizado um inventário em nove parcelas no mangue da EEMJ. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualisados, com as fisionomias sendo analisadas como tratamentos, e as nove parcelas como repetições. A dinâmica da regeneração natural foi feita através de Taxa de Regeneração Natural (TRN), Taxa de Recrutamento (TR) e Taxa de Mortalidade (TM). As fisionomias analisadas apresentaram variações de densidade ao longo de todos os períodos estudados, sendo R. mangle e A. germinans as espécies mais densas. As estruturas altimétricas também revelaram divergências, particularmente nas TRN calculadas.

The southernmost region of Bahia is characterized by disorder in land use and occupation, responsible for environmental impacts on the region's sub-watersheds. Historical changes in land use have led to alterations in one of Brazil's main biomes, the Atlantic Forest, considered a biodiversity hotspot. In this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition of river waters in the region's sub-watersheds, identifying the sources of chemical elements and discussing the influences of the buffer zone. To achieve these objectives, water samples were collected at various sampling points in rivers within the Parque Nacional do Descobrimento. Sampling was conducted in the Cahy River, Japara River, Rio do Sul, and Imbassuaba River. In the field, physico-chemical parameters were evaluated. In the laboratory, the following parameters were determined: alkalinity, TSS, chlorophyll-a, PO4-3, and SiO2, F-, Cl-, SO4-2, NO3-, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca+2, and Mg+2. Data were statistically treated through factor analysis with factor extraction by principal components using the Statistica software. The results indicate that the chemical composition of river waters at different sampling points in the PND rivers is influenced by marine contribution, geological influence from the Barreiras formation, and anthropogenic influence due to the use of fertilizers from the PND's buffer zone. Monitoring the biogeochemistry of the main rivers crossing the PND provided fundamental data and information that will be used by the park management.

O estudo busca avaliar o desempenho de um sistema fotovoltaico instalado em Alagoas, Brasil, através da análise da taxa de desempenho (PR) e sua relação com as variáveis meteorológicas.  Foram coletados dados de uma microusina fotovoltaica, incluindo geração de energia, potência nominal e dados meteorológicos (temperatura, umidade relativa do ar, velocidade do vento e precipitação). O PR foi calculado para avaliar a eficiência real do sistema em relação à sua capacidade nominal, onde foi utilizado um arranjo fotovoltaico instalado com microinversores, que de acordo com a literatura são os que obtêm melhores resultados de PR. Foi feita análise de algumas variáveis meteorológicas como: umidade relativa do ar, temperatura do ar, precipitação pluviométrica e velocidade do vento, além destas variáveis foi proposta também a sujidade, assim observando o impacto de cada uma no desempenho do arranjo. A instalação obteve excelentes resultados, onde o valor médio do PR foi de 89,70%. Além também de utilizar dados da Estação Meteorológica Automática (EMA) e do arranjo fotovoltaico para obtermos a equação com a finalidade de realizar uma equação fotovoltaica onde a partir desta, a geração de um mapa fotovoltaico seja possível para a região estudada e para locais com condições climáticas semelhantes.

O trabalho apresentado avalia a influência do comportamento de variáveis meteorológicas nos teores de umidade dos sólidos voláteis contidos no Novo Aterro Sanitário de Oeste de Caucaia (ASMOC), localizado na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza, capital do Estado do Ceará. Foram realizados quatro experimentos de campo, cada um contendo oito amostras, na coleta de material para posterior análise em laboratório, entre os meses de abril e julho de 2021. Além das coletas dos resíduos sólidos, foram usados dados meteorológicos disponibilizados pela Fundação Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos Hídricos (FUNCEME) e do Instituto de Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET). Os resultados apontaram aumento da umidade do solo nas três primeiras coletas, de 44,9% para 56,7% e diminuição parcial na quarta coleta (51,1%). Resultado semelhante encontrado para os sólidos voláteis, de 47,32% para 93,10%, com diminuição parcial na quarta coleta (59,2%).  Assim, conclui-se que existe uma relação direta entre a precipitação pluvial (chuvas) medida em dois postos pluviométricos da região (Caucaia e Sítios Novos) e a umidade dos resíduos sólidos, até a profundidade de quatro metros, que apontaram a presença de resíduos novos e com alto potencial para degradação e geração de biogás na região.

Strategic planning in municipalities and districts – SWOT/TOWS analysis
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Kuzior Aleksandra , Wroński Marcin ,   Zabrzańskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji Sp. z o.o.
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to present strategic planning issues in municipalities and
districts using SWOT/TOWS analysis.
Methodology: The research was based on a systematic literature review and content analysis.
Findings: In strategic planning, we can distinguish different phases. Each of these phases is
characterized by a different value in terms of the effectiveness of strategic decision-making.
Municipal and county offices occupy a special position that must be taken into account during
all types of planning. Firstly, the tasks of a municipality or county are defined, more or less
precisely, by legal regulations. Secondly, an office is not an institution operating for profit -
it is therefore more difficult to measure the effectiveness of the office's activities, special tools
and indicators are needed for this. Thirdly, political and social factors often come into play.
Strategic planning must be preceded by a strategic analysis.
Practical Implications: Strategic analysis is a combination of two ways of looking at
management and two sources of information, it is a simultaneous study of the environment and
the organization itself and confrontation of the results of this research. The second feature of
strategic analysis is its interdisciplinary nature - the use of various methods (qualitative,
quantitative) from different fields of science. The third aspect is time - strategic analysis
concerns both the future and the past, because it examines current trends, analyzes available
data and on this basis designs actions for the future.
Originality: The article presents the theoretical foundations of strategic planning in communes,
municipalities and districts.
Keywords: strategic planning, strategic analysis, SWOT/TOWS.
Category of the paper: Research paper, theoretical paper.
Contemporary models of organizational management: reflections on organizational culture according to Frederic Laloux
Authors:   University of Silesia in Katowice, Musioł Anna
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of the article is a comparative description of contemporary models of
organization management, taking into account the issue of organizational culture, humanistic
management style and the colors of organization management, which was proposed by Frederic
Laloux.
Design/methodology/approach: The article employs the method of descriptive and
comparative analysis.
Findings: The analyses carried out in the text have demonstrated that the level of organizational
culture depends on the preferred value system in the organization. It also confirmed the thesis
that the level of awareness of an organization's employees is determined not only by the value
systems preferred in the organization, but also by the decision-making styles associated with
these values, preferred thinking patterns and the level of communication.
Research limitations/implications: The research hypotheses adopted in the publication have
been limited only to the characteristics of the organization according to the division proposed
by Frederic Laloux.
Practical implications: The article shows the path of changes that are currently taking place
in business organizations. These changes have a significant impact on professional practice.
They are related to the level of development of human consciousness and the prevailing
(oppressive or non-oppressive) communication patterns: the less oppressive, more assertive and
empathetic communication in the organization, the higher the level of employee well-being.
Social implications: The article addresses the problem of the role and importance of the
humanities. At the center of the humanistic style of management there is always a human being,
aware of obligations towards other people/co-workers and corporate social responsibility.
Originality/value: The aim of the article is to show the qualitative impact of the humanities on
contemporary management styles of organizations representing different value systems, and
thus also different axiological levels. Currently, the reflection on the axiology of the Pluralistic
Green and Evolutionary Teal organizations is of particular importance, because it is the
organizations from the level of green and teal that put a person open to dialogue and the broadly
understood idea of humanity at the center of management.
Keywords: organizational culture towards the humanistic form of management, awareness of
the color of the organization, oppressive and empathetic/non-oppressive communication, value
system, Frederic Laloux.
Category of the paper: Conceptual paper, Viewpoint.
Identifying Research Trends, Active Research Areas and Pivotal Publications with Co-citation Analysis in CiteSpace: A Case Study with Active Matter
Authors: Zhang Yuening
Published: February 2025

Research support demonstrates the value of academic libraries and librarians. Recent studies have revealed that research support has been evolving from traditional citation analysis to advanced library services such as research field trend/frontiers analysis and talent evaluation. Using a powerful bibliometric tool CiteSpace and “active matter” as an example, co-citation network analysis illustrates how to identify research trends, active research areas, and intellectual turning point publications. Unique features in CiteSpace are discussed, which were absent from case studies of other major science mapping/bibliometric tools used by librarians. Science and engineering librarians should be able to apply this technique to other research fields.
