Authors: Cheng Emma T. L. , Cheik-Hussein Mohammad , Lin Noelle , Lewin Adriane M. , McAuley James H. , Harris Ian A.
Published: January 2023

Background

Pregabalin is a drug used to treat neuropathic pain, and its use has increased substantially since 2007. Early trials found a strong treatment effect on pain for post-herpetic neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy. However more recent studies have failed to replicate these results.

Methods

This meta-epidemiological study aimed to assess change in the reported effectiveness of pregabalin in neuropathic pain trials over time, and if a change is present, determine any associated factors.

Data sources

We performed electronic searches for published trials in Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases; and unpublished trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, the EU Clinical Trials Register, and the Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry with no restrictions.

Study selection

We included randomized, placebo-controlled trials of pregabalin for treatment of neuropathic pain in adults.

Data extraction and synthesis

Two authors independently extracted study data: sample size and mean baseline, end-point and change in pain scores with measures of variance, trial end year, publication year, clinical indication, funding source, country of study, treatment duration, treatment dose, mean age and percentage male.

Primary outcome measure

We defined treatment effect as the mean difference in pain scores between pregabalin and placebo groups at trial end-point and assessed for change over time using a random-effects meta-regression, adjusted for sample size, indication, treatment duration (weeks) and treatment dose.

Results

We included 38 randomized published trials (9038 participants) and found that between 2003 and 2020, the reported treatment effect of pregabalin decreased by 0.4 points (95% CI: 0.3 to 0.6; p<0.001) on an 11-point pain scale per 5-year interval, from 1.3 points (95% CI: 1.0 to 1.5) in trials conducted in 2001–2005, to 0.3 (95% CI: -0.1 to 0.7) in trials conducted in 2016–2020. The reported treatment effect was lower than the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 1.7 points across all time periods, doses and most indications and was not found to be associated with study characteristics.

Conclusions

The reported treatment effect or analgesic efficacy of pregabalin from clinical trials has diminished over time. Clinical recommendations may need to be re-evaluated to account for recent evidence and to consider whether pregabalin therapy is indicated.
Determinants of continuum of care for maternal, newborn, and child health services in Ethiopia: Analysis of the modified composite coverage index using a quantile regression approach
Authors: Gebremedhin Aster Ferede , Dawson Angela , Hayen Andrew
Published: January 2023

Maternal and child mortality remain unacceptably high in the Sustainable Development Goals era. Continuum of care has become a key strategy for improving the health of mothers and newborns. Previous research on the continuum of care in Ethiopia is often limited to maternal health services. Maternal and child health services are inseparably linked, and an integrated approach to care is essential. This study assessed the continuum of maternal, newborn, and child health care and associated factors in Ethiopia. The analysis was based on the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data. We restricted our analysis to women with their most recent children—alive and living with their mother- aged 12–23 months at the time of the survey (n  =  1891). The modified composite coverage index, constructed from twelve maternal and child health services, was calculated as an indicator of the continuum of care. Bivariable and multivariable quantile regression were used to analyse the relationship between the predictors and specific quantiles of the composite coverage index. The effect of each variable was examined at the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th quantiles. The results showed that the average composite coverage index value was 39%. The overall completion rate of the continuum of care was low (2%). Four % of the women did not receive any of the services along the continuum of care. Postnatal care for newborns had the lowest coverage (12%). This study provides evidence that factors such as the educational status of women, region, residence, socio-economic status, perceived distance to a health facility, pregnancy intention, mode of delivery, parity, and early antenatal care initiation influence the continuum of care differently across levels of the composite coverage index. The findings call for integrated and targeted strategies that aim to improve the continuum of care considering the determinants.

Published: January 2023

Esse estudo procurou trazer uma alternativa de avaliação dos serviços oferecidos em bibliotecas, principalmente para as universidades públicas. Levando em consideração a opinião dos usuários, procurou-se dar ênfase à satisfação em relação aos serviços prestados. Para coletar os dados, foi utilizada uma adaptação do método libqual que ainda é pouco explorado no Brasil. Sabe-se que a longevidade de uma instituição pública depende muito da importância que a mesma dá aos seus serviços. Com uma comunidade usuária cada dia mais exigente, surge a necessidade de se investigar as percepções acerca dos serviços oferecidos seja em quaisquer ambientes. Nesse trabalho, foi realizado um estudo de caso nas bibliotecas de uma universidade pública. Visto a ausência de uma sistemática de avaliação interna em relação aos serviços oferecidos pelas bibliotecas do Sistema de bibliotecas da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (Sisbi/UFPel), que inclua seus usuários no foco da discussão, buscou-se por meio desse estudo avaliar a satisfação dos mesmos por meio de um questionário on-line. Com base nos resultados dessa pesquisa, foram empregadas técnicas estatísticas para aferir a confiabilidade das informações coletadas. Como principais resultados encontrados foi possível verificar quais foram os serviços mais utilizados, perfil do público que frequenta as bibliotecas, os serviços com maior nível de satisfação e também os com menores níveis. Descobriu-se que a dimensão da pesquisa valor afetivo foi a dimensão que obteve melhores scores de avaliação. Por fim, foram sugeridas melhorias no Sistema de Bibliotecas dessa Universidade e propõe-se novas pesquisas aplicando a mesma sistemática de avaliação para comparações e avanços futuros.

Published: January 2023

Com o objetivo de analisar o comportamento de busca de informação de indivíduos frente a pandemia de Covid-19, buscou-se nesta pesquisa identificar os aspectos relacionados a esse comportamento focando os aspectos cognitivos e causais que permeiam as necessidades informacionais destes indivíduos. Para tanto, utilizou-se como base para a análise e reflexão o modelo geral de comportamento informacional proposto por Wilson (1997). Com base no modelo, elaborou-se categorias de questões envolvendo necessidades informacionais, variáveis Intervenientes e processo de busca de informação. Os resultados obtidos foram originados de 574 questionários respondidos entre os dias 22 e 27 de março de 2021 por indivíduos residentes na região que compreende o litoral do Paraná. Percebe-se que a população busca informações baseando-se a partir de suas necessidades psicológicas e que, para elas a principal fonte de informação sobre a Pandemia e o COVID-19 é a televisão, mas consideram artigos científicos e sites médicos como fontes mais confiáveis de busca informacional. No entanto, nota-se que não há credibilidade nas informações fornecidas pelo governo, e que as questões políticas têm pouca influência nesta região.

Authors: Gonzaga Benedito Alves , Andrade Christiano Lima Lobo de , Cabral Filho Fernando Rodrigues
Published: January 2023

Os bioestimulantes, em função de sua composição, quando aplicados na planta podem promover uma série de alterações estruturais e permitir que a planta atinja seu maior potencial produtivo. O milho quando é estimulado seu sistema radicular promove a maior   absorção de nutrientes inclusive nitrogênio que é um elemento chave na produtividade dele. O experimento foi desenvolvido no Instituto Federal Goiano Campus Rio Verde – GO, Brasil, na safrinha 22/22. Os tratamentos foram compostos levando em consideração a aplicação de bioestimulante em tratamento de semente e plantado em campo. Foram realizadas avaliações como: altura das plantas, número de folhas, peso seco parte aérea, peso verde da parte aérea, cumprimento radicular, peso radicular seco, peso radicular verde e clorofila. Mediante aos resultados encontrados foi possível concluir que os tratamentos empregados não influenciaram significativamente nas variáveis avaliadas, portanto são necessários mais estudos para corroborar ou refutar os resultados encontrados neste estudo.

Published: January 2023

O milho (Zea mays L.) é um dos cereais de grande importância no mundo. Esta cultura apresenta grande exigência em nutrientes, como o potássio (K). Esse nutriente pode ser obtido a partir de fontes alternativas como a vinhaça para a cultura do milho representando efeitos agronômicos, econômicos e ambientais positivos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo, avaliar o uso de vinhaça e cloreto de potássio na fertirrigação na cultura do milho cultivar híbrido AS1820 PRO3 em diferentes doses. O experimento foi realizado na área experimental do IF Goiano, Rio Verde, Goiás, Brasil, safra 2021/22. As variáveis estudadas foram: número de espigas por planta, número de grãos por fileira, número de grãos por planta, diâmetro e comprimento de espiga, massa de grãos por planta, produtividade e número de sacas por grãos. Verificamos que não houve diferença significativa (efeitos positivos) para os dados das variáveis analisadas nesse experimento. Concluí-se que, o híbrido de milho AS1820 PRO3 não apresentou efeito positivo sobre as variáveis analisadas com fertirrigação vinhaça e cloreto de potássio em nosso estudo, carecendo de novos experimentos complementares.
Análise econômica da fertirrigação da vinhaça comparada com o potássio na cultura do milho
Authors: Muniz Adjana Martins de Freitas , Cabral Filho Fernando Rodrigues , Andrade Christiano Lima Lobo de , Teixeira Marconi Batista , Alves Daniely Karen Matias , Silva Edson Cabral da
Published: January 2023

O milho é um produto de grande relevância econômica, e requer a reposição adequada de nutrientes no solo para alcançar bons resultados quanto a produtividade, como por exemplo, o Potássio (K) que é o segundo nutriente mais absorvido pelas plantas e se acumula nos grãos e colmos do vegetal. Em contrapartida, a vinhaça é um resíduo da agroindústria sucroalcooleira rico em K que vem sendo utilizada na fertirrigação de culturas como a própria cana-de-açúcar e o milho, e tem apresentado resultados satisfatórios enquanto incremento da produtividade. O estudo teve por objetivo analisar a viabilidade econômica da fertirrigação com vinhaça comparada com o K na cultura do milho. Foi elaborado ensaio experimental conduzido na área experimental da Pulveriza Soluções Agricolas, em Rio Verde, região Sudoeste, Goiás, Brasil. A semeadura aconteceu em Março de 2022, onde foi utilizado milho híbrido AS1820. Antes do plantio, foi realizado tratamento das sementes com Standak® Top (200 mL 100 kg-1) + Policote Seeds Titanium Verde® (3 mL kg-1), sendo o espaçamento de 0,45 m e 3 plantas por m, 65.000 plantas por hectare. Aplicou-se com o intuito de tratar as sementes, Standak® Top (200 mL 100 kg-1) + Policote Seeds Titanium Verde® (3 mL kg-1) e vinhaça. Mediante a análise de custo e produtividade comparando a aplicação de K comercial em comparação a vinhaça, bem como, ambos associados e aplicação dupla de vinhaça, considerou-se que, a aplicação única da vinhaça apresentou menor custo financeiro e maior rentabilidade com relação a todos os demais, sendo assim possível concluir que esse tratamento é economicamente viável se comparado ao tratamento com o Potássio comercial e associação de ambos.

A mistura em tanque de produtos com ação sistêmica e não-sistêmica quando sinérgica pode interferir positivamente no controle de Conyza spp.
Esclavizadas y “cosificadas”.
Authors: MENDEZ-MAIN Silvia María , Abejez Luis J.
Published: January 2023

Entre los siglos XV y XIX, millones de mujeres africanas fueron esclavizadas y trasladadas a América en contra de su voluntad. La historiografía sobre la esclavitud y la trata de este periodo es amplia, pero sus historias apenas se conocen al quedar soterradas en el marco de fenómenos históricos considerados fundamentalmente masculinos. En las últimas décadas, la influencia del feminismo en la investigación histórica y el creciente interés por la microhistoria han promovido este tipo de estudios.

Este artículo pretende aproximarse a las mujeres negras esclavizadas, “cosificadas” y “mercantilizadas” en Xalapa (México) en los siglos XVI y XVII por medio del estudio de un grupo de estas mujeres denominadas “angolas” mencionadas en documentos notariales coetáneos, y con el ejemplo de una de ellas. Los resultados son una ventana a sus vivencias personales y colectivas, y muestran su integración por la fuerza en la sociedad novohispana.
Laugh Lines
Authors: Conners Carrie
Published: January 2023

Humor in recent American poetry has been largely ignored by scholars, due in part to reverence for the lyric. The book argues that humor is not a superficial feature of a small subset of American poetry, but an integral feature in a great deal of American poetry written since the 1950s. Instead of viewing poetry as a lofty genre, this book asks readers to consider poetry alongside another art form that has burgeoned in America since the 1950s: stand-up comedy. Both art forms use wit and laughter to rethink the world and the words that are used to describe it. Humor's disruptive nature makes it especially well-suited for critique, and many comedians and humorous poets are astute cultural critics. To that end, the book focuses on poetry that uses humor to espouse sociopolitical critique. To show the range of recent American poetry that uses humor to articulate sociopolitical critique, the book highlights the work of poets working in four distinct poetic genres: traditional, received forms, such as the sonnet; the epic; procedural poetry; and prose poetry. Marilyn Hacker, Harryette Mullen, Ed Dorn and Russell Edson, are the main focus of the chapters, but each chapter compares those poets to others writing humorous political poetry in the same genre, including Terrance Hayes and Anne Carson, to highlight the pervasiveness of this trend in recent American poetry and to reveal the particular ways the poets use conventions of poetic genre to generate or amplify their humor. The book shows that the interplay between humor and poetic genre creates special opportunities for political critique as poetic genres invoke the social constructs that the poets deride.
Mississippi Zion
Authors: Ashford Evan Howard
Published: January 2023

Mississippi Zion: The Struggle for Liberation in Attala County, 1865-1915 uses Attala County as its focal point to provide an in-depth examination of Mississippi as a struggle between concurring and intersecting liberation and redemption agendas between its African American and White citizens that resulted as African Americans asserting themselves as equals to their white counterparts. The book's six chapters detail how African American liberation efforts prompted the need for anti-Black apparatuses to thwart the race's individual and collective black power. The book asserts that the emergence of the county's 20th century Jim Crow society, and to a more considerable degree, the state itself resulted from the need to control and curtail African American power in the interconnected areas such as land, labor, education, voting, and progressive race relations. Rather than segmenting history into the typical Reconstruction, Nadir, and Jim Crow periods, the book frames the post-Civil War era as a Liberation Era that spanned from emancipation to the commencement of the 20th century, thus examining history through the African American agent, a continued and active presence, that shaped Southern society beyond federal occupation.

Start a Riot!
Authors: Abdul-Ghani Casarae Lavada
Published: January 2023

The legacy of Black urban rebellions during the turbulent 1960s continues to permeate throughout U.S. histories and discourses. Thus, scholars seldom explore within scholarship examining Black Cultural Production, artists-writers of the Black Arts Movement (BAM) that addressed civil unrest, specifically riots, in their artistic writings. Start A Riot!: Civil Unrest in Black Arts Movement Drama, Fiction, and Poetry analyzes riot iconography and its usefulness as a political strategy of protestation. Through a mixed-methods approach of literary close-reading, historical, and sociological analysis, Casarae Lavada Abdul-Ghani considers how Amiri Baraka, Ben Caldwell, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sonia Sanchez, and Henry Dumas, through experimental explorations in their writings, challenge misconceptions regarding Black protest.
Improvising the Score
Authors: Carlson Gretchen L.
Published: January 2023

Improvising the Score provides an original, vivid investigation of innovative collaborations between renowned contemporary jazz artists and prominent independent filmmakers, theorizing how these integrative jazz-film productions challenge us to rethink the possibilities of cinematic music production. These in-depth case studies include collaborations between Terence Blanchard and Spike Lee (Malcolm X, When the Levees Broke), Dick Hyman and Woody Allen (Hannah and Her Sisters), Antonio Sanchez and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu (Birdman), and Mark Isham and Alan Rudolph (Afterglow). The first book of its kind, this study examines jazz artists’ work in film from a sociological perspective, offering rich, behind-the-scenes analyses of their unique collaborative relationships with filmmakers, as well as how they negotiate their own “creative labor” within filmmaking structures, hierarchies, and expectations. Grounded in compelling personal interviews and detailed film production analysis, Improvising the Score illustrates the dynamic possibilities of integrative artistic collaborations between jazz and film (as well as other contemporary media), exemplifying its ripeness for shaping and invigorating 21st century arts, media, and culture.

EVALUATION OF CENTRAL AUDITORY PROCESSING IN PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME
Authors: Soares Marcelly Botelho , Rosa Cíntia Felício Adriano , Hamerschmidt Rogério , Wiemes Nicole Richter Minhoto , Mangia Lucas Resende Lucinda
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is responsible for various changes in homeostasis, which lead to increased morbidity and mortality. A field of growing interest in the literature refers to cognitive changes among patients with OSAS. The study of possible results in higher auditory functions in OSAS is an important step towards a better understanding of the cognitive impact and functionality of the affected patient. Objectives: To assess the existence of changes in central auditory processing in patients with OSAS, and to explore potential associations between the results and epidemiological/polysomnographic parameters. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational case-control study. For the case group, patients aged 18 to 60 years with clinical suspicion of OSAS were included. They were subjected to a type I polysomnography (PSG). People without clinical symptoms of sleep disturbance or criteria for daytime sleepiness composed the control group. The participants underwent a P300 electrophysiological test and filled out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results: The overall sample consisted of 43 patients, of which 23 were in case group. The mean P300 latency in the case group was 326 milliseconds (ms), and for the control group, the mean value reached 308ms (p = 0.031). The subgroup of cases with increased p300 latency had a shorter duration of the N1 sleep stage. As for the score observed in the ESS, the maximum value, the mean and the median corrected for this subgroup were higher than the rest of the case group, but with no statistical difference. Conclusion: Patients with OSAS have increased mean P300 latency, compared to patients in the control group. Thus, it is suggested that patients with apnea may present quantifiable alterations in the central auditory processing.

Introduction: The new coronavirus pandemic has given rise to several systemic pathologies correlated to the viral infection, which has flu-like symptoms in the upper airways. There are reports in the literature, however, that mention signs of dysphonia, odynophagia and pharyngeal globus sensation after infection. The larynx, an organ that is part of the airway, is possibly the affected location to set off those symptoms. Objective: To examine the laryngeal alterations in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This was an observational and analytical cross-sectional study in which the medical records of patients with the aforementioned complaints, and who underwent videolaryngoscopy, were reviewed. The statistical level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: 34,143 medical records were reviewed, and a final result of 57 patients with the aforementioned complaints and videolaryngoscopy examination was found. The age, analyzed on the socioeconomic profile, was significant in the performed review. Out of the laryngeal alterations, hypotonia, fusiform glottal gap (p<0.001) and triangular glottal gap were significant. Laryngeal alterations were also significant in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Discussion: These findings must be the main reason for post-COVID-19 hypokinetic dysphonia, due to probable damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Investigating the Role of Modeling Practices on Mathematical Literacy
Authors: AYDOĞAN YENMEZ Arzu , GÖKÇE Semirhan
Published: January 2023

The mathematical literacy or competence notion in PISA deals with the capacity of students to analyze, reason and communicate efficiently as they pose, formulate, solve and interpret mathematical problems in a variety of situations. The best way to improve mathematics literacy is that students have the necessary mathematical knowledge and different problem solving strategies, know when and how to use these strategies, and work with activities that involve different contexts of interest. When considered in this respect, teachers have an important role in the development of students' mathematical literacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the mathematics literacy status of Mathematics Teacher Candidates through PISA questions. The mathematical literacy status of pre-service teachers was examined within the scope of conceptual, operational and contextual questions and in terms of gender, academic grade point average and mathematical modeling. At the same time, semi-structured interviews have examined the difficulties that pre-service teachers experienced. Fully mixed concurrent equal status design was used. The participants were 113 pre-service mathematics teachers. Independent samples t-test and covariance analysis was used for the comparisons. Qualitative data analysis was conducted with content analysis. The research results, together with the suggestions, reveal important points for future studies.

The aim of this study is to determine the year-by-year change of family and student characteristics of whose performance is at or below basic proficiency level in domain of reading comprehension on PISA Turkey 2012, 2015 and 2018 implementations. This study is designed as a correlational survey research and also covers a secondary data analysis. Data was obtained from the official website of OECD. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used. Based on the research findings, it was seen that low performing students have started to come from better educated families as well as families with higher ESCS index. Resources available to students increased by years. Logistic regression analysis revealed that various variables are classifiers for students’ performance levels for each implementation years. Some findings are found to be contradictory with the literature such as predictive role of maternal education level and educational software. Suggestions are made based on the findings to improve students’ performances from low to at least basic proficiency levels.
Comparison of the methods of examining measurement equivalence under different conditions in terms of statistical power ratios

Validity is the most important psychometric feature that should be found in a measurement tool. Measurement equivalence is one of the evidences for the validity of measurement tools. Providing information to the researchers about the methods of identifying measurement equivalence may contribute to present a complete validity evidence. The purpose of this study is to compare the statistical power ratios of methods used for examining the measurement equivalence based on structural equation modeling and item response theory on the artificial data sets generated by diversifying variables of sample size, number of items, and the ratios of the items having differential item function. In accordance with this purpose, the variables have been varied to include three different levels. In the analysis, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was used which is among the methods based on the structural equation modeling, and likelihood ratio test and comparison of the item parameters methods were used which are among the methods based on item response theory. Multi-group group confirmatory factor analysis (93,50%) and likelihood ratio test (96,75%) methods have reached the highest statistical power ratio in the condition that the sample size is 1000/1000, the number of items is 40 items and the ratios of the items having differential item function is 10%. The method of comparing the item parameters (94,50%) has reached the highest statistical power ratio in the condition of sample size is 1000/1000, the number of items is 20 and the ratios of the items having differential item function are 10-20%.

From the series of research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that with an information system that has made service activities in the survey and mapping laboratory more effectively and efficiently.
The Natural Gas Conundrum Transformation of the Central Asian Energy Security Complex after 1991
Authors: Lídl Václav
Published: January 2023

The study examines energy security in the Central Asia region, with an emphasis on the natural gas sector. The research presented in the book attempts to answer the question of whether the various state actors in Central Asia are more inclined towards a strategic or market-oriented approach to energy policy formulation. Answering this research question aimed at better understanding the approach of individual state actors towards large infrastructure projects such as the construction of the Central Asia–China Gas Pipeline. Based on the theoretical literature, a model was constructed to assess the natural gas sector in terms of energy policy formulation by individual state actors. This model was then applied to three case studies of key state actors within the Central Asian regional energy security complex. These are the case studies of Russia, China, and Turkmenistan.

Online Ridesharing with Meeting Points

Nowadays, ridesharing becomes a popular commuting mode. Dynamically arriving riders post their origins and destinations, then the platform assigns drivers to serve them. In ridesharing, different groups of riders can be served by one driver if their trips can share common routes. Recently, many ridesharing companies (e.g., Didi and Uber) further propose a new mode, namely "ridesharing with meeting points". Specifically, with a short walking distance but less payment, riders can be picked up and dropped off
around
their origins and destinations, respectively. In addition,
meeting points
enables more flexible routing for drivers, which can potentially improve the global profit of the system. In this paper, we first formally define the Meeting-Point-based Online Ridesharing Problem (MORP). We prove that MORP is NP-hard and there is no polynomial-time deterministic algorithm with a constant competitive ratio for it. We notice that a structure of vertex set,
k
-skip cover, fits well to the MORP.
k
-skip cover tends to find the vertices (meeting points) that are convenient for riders and drivers to come and go. With meeting points, MORP tends to serve more riders with these convenient vertices. Based on the idea, we introduce a convenience-based meeting point candidates selection algorithm. We further propose a hierarchical meeting-point oriented graph (HMPO graph), which ranks vertices for assignment effectiveness and constructs
k
-skip cover to accelerate the whole assignment process. Finally, we utilize the merits of
k
-skip cover points for ridesharing and propose a novel algorithm, namely SMDB, to solve MORP. Extensive experiments on real and synthetic datasets validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms.
Visibility, solidarity, and empowerment via the internet: A case study of young Portuguese activists
Authors: Campos Ricardo , da Silva Daniela Ferreira
Published: January 2023

The last few years have seen the development of a new line of research around the relationship between digital platforms and activism. The influence of the internet and social media on the civic and political engagement of young people in particular has become clear. Digital platforms perform in this regard a set of functions crucial to activism in terms of communication, mobilization, and logistics. These are indispensable tools, especially to young people belonging to informal structures. Digital platforms have also been shown to facilitate emotional and solidarity networks thus fostering a sense of community and a strengthening of collective identities. In this article we aim at examining this aspect based on in-depth interviews with young activists conducted in Portugal during a three-year project (2020–2022). We have concluded that, especially in certain activism contexts involving social groups of neglected or non-normative identities, digital platforms function as a crucial empowerment tool. These are linked to the emotional support for and recognition of the identities of these young people, incentivizing the creation of fields of political and social intervention.

Objectives

Evaluate effectiveness of a multisite program promoting the successful transition of baccalaureate and graduate entry (with a prior degree) students into pre-licensure curricula. Faculty concern around nursing students’ successful completion of nursing programs and passage of the nursing licensure exam stems from challenges students encounter in core courses, study habits, and civility.

Methods

One hundred eighty-five students participated in a quasi-experimental pre-post-test mixed-methods study. Students completed content modules and open-ended surveys.

Results

Most students found the program helpful. Statistically significant improvements were shown in medication calculation, reading comprehension, and medical terminology. No statistically significant improvement was shown in anatomy and physiology.

Conclusions

Our Transition to Nursing program shows promise and adds to proactive strategies in preparing students for a successful transition into nursing programs. Our innovative approach may serve as a model to nursing schools and colleges around the world to promote student success.

Published: January 2023

This study aims to examine and compare the trends of information literacy research in Korea and in some English-speaking other countries in the last two decades from 2001 to 2020 through keyword network analysis. With regard to English-speaking countries, author keywords were collected from articles retrieved from the Scopus database using the search term “information literacy.” For the Korean LIS field, the author keywords were collected from articles retrieved through a Korean academic database called “KCI” using the search term “information literacy.” For other countries, a total of 1163 articles and 2454 author keywords were collected for this study. Among these author keywords, the top 10 that appeared most were “academic libraries,” “library education,” “assessment,” “collaboration,” “higher education,” “undergraduate students,” “e-learning,” “information literacy instruction,” “instruction,” and “instructional design.” By comparison, a total of 120 articles and 352 author keywords were collected for this study in Korea. Among the keywords, eight that appeared most frequently were “information literacy instruction,” “school libraries,” “school librarians,” “library education,” “academic libraries,” “information services,” “user education,” and “public libraries.” Based on the study results, some recommendations for Korea’s IL research can be made as follows: First, particular attention needs to be given to the subjects of “assessment” and “collaboration” related to IL research. Second, the research related to the subject of IL has been carried out by a few researchers majoring in school libraries. Therefore, in addition to researchers in the LIS field, those from various other fields need to have an interest in the subject.
