Making seven intranets into one.... and then personalizing the content
Authors: Day Helen
Published: December 2023

This case study provides a brief overview of intranet and portal developments at Boots The Chemists, a large chain of health and beauty stores in the UK. The story starts in 2001, when Boots Group had seven intranets,each with a different look and feel. The intranet rationalization project was initiated to tackle this situation andincluded the introduction of a content management system (CMS). The paper looks at the issues involved in having several intranets and how the new intranet management team implemented the necessary changes to move the intranet to the new model. It describes the benefits resulting from (and challenges involved in) introducing the new CMS. It examines the resulting single intranet and assesses its delivery of content to different audiences across the business. Finally, it discusses how the company has successfully usedportal technology, integrated with the CMS, to deliver true personalization.

Managing information to serve the information user
Authors: Wilson Professor Thomas D.
Published: December 2023

The late Jason Farradane pioneered the creation of the Institute of Information Scientists, developing the professional scope, objectives and governance structure of the Institute and coining the term ‘information scientist.’ He first made an impact on the library and information science community with a paper on the ‘scientific approach to documentation’ presented at a Royal Society Scientific Information Conference in 1948. He was instrumental in establishing the first academic information science courses in 1963 at the precursor to City University, London, where he became Director of the Centre for Information Science in 1966. UKeiG’s award in his honour still exists today and is given in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the library and information profession.
The 2020 winner was Thomas D. Wilson (Professor Emeritus, University of Sheffield, UK), primarily for his pioneering work in open access through the foundation and editing of the international electronic journal Information Research.
Professor Wilson was ‘honoured and delighted,’ to receive the award. ‘I occasionally met Jason Farradane at conferences. I was teaching indexing at the time, so we had common interests to discuss. Having known the man makes receiving the award even more special.'
He opened UKeiG’s seventh annual Strix Memorial lecture in December 2021 with a celebratory presentation - ‘Managing information to serve the information user.’ It explores the essential link and convergence between information management and information behaviour, asking the fundamental question: how can we manage information effectively if we don't know how people seek and use information?
Open Access monographs
Authors: Ball David
Published: December 2023

Open science and open access (OS/OA) as a disruptive technology is also an essential part of UKeiG’s portfolio. UKeiG Chair David Ball has written and presented extensively on the emergence on OS/OA, Open Monographs, Open Data and Open Peer Review. He emphasises that this developing paradigm goes way beyond STEM subjects and impacts on social science, arts and humanities. ‘The concept of Open Access to research outputs has been common currency for many years. The rapid growth of the Internet has made different publication models easily available. More recent thinking has expanded the concept of openness even further, to Open Science, which aims to transform science by making research more open, global, collaborative, creative and closer to society. All academic disciplines are embracing this approach. The shift is extremely important for the development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals who support it.’ In UKeiG’s inaugural column in the March 2023 issue of CILIP’s Information Professional magazine, David writes about open access monographs, and we share his insights.

Authors: Fristiwi Pingkan , Nugraheni Sri Achadi , Kartini Apoina
Published: December 2023

Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. This research aims to identify the effectiveness of stunting prevention programs in Indonesia. The research method employed in this study is a systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Article searches were conducted using five database; Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Portal Garuda. The inclusion criteria for this research are articles published in the last 10 years, from 2014 to 2023, with a population in the Indonesian region. Based on the reviewed articles, it was found that the most effective stunting prevention measures include providing nutritional education to influential parties such as community health workers, mothers of toddler, and women of childbearing age or prospective mothers, interprofessional collaboration, and supplementary feeding. Trained community health workers are capable of reducing the stunting rates. Therefore the goverment should stengthen community health worker training to optimize stunting prevention through nutritional education.

Authors: Entsar Abushenab Rizgalla Hammad
Published: December 2023

This study examined the effects of tanning waste and sewage disposal on Khartoum South's vegetation. The floristic composition, density, frequency, and species diversity of the vegetation were the factors under investigation. Chemical analyses for the elements Ca, Mg, K, Cr, Cd, and Zn were performed on soil and plant samples. Soil samples were collected from three locations in the study area at two depths: 0-5 cm and 10-15 cm. Plant samples of different species were collected for chemical analysis of the same elements mentioned above. Statistical analysis included analysis of variance (5% level) and correlation between soil and plant elements in addition to T- and F-tests. The results showed that elements Ca and Mg had a positive correlation between plant species and soil samples, while elements Cr and Cd had a negative correlation between soil and plant samples. The results of T-test and F-test showed no significant differences between element concentrations at two soil depths and three locations in the study area. The study concluded that the drastic change in the vegetation of the area was caused by sewage and tanning.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Compare the surgical treatment options available in our institution and the postoperative outcomes during follow-up.Additionally, assess patient’s perception of their condition and its progression. Methods: This descriptive observational study is a case series with a narrative literature review. All patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and received surgical management for ankle arthropathy due to ankle hemarthrosis between 1999 and 2022 at Hospital San José in Bogotá were included. A perception survey was conducted via teleconsultation to evaluate pain control, functional impact, and capacity for daily activities. Results: Fifteen patients were included in the study, 13 male (86.7%). The mean age at the time of surgical intervention was 33 years (range 25–68). Among the patients, eight (53.3%) were diagnosed with Hemophilia A, four (26.7%) with Hemophilia B, two with Von Willebrand disease (13.3%), and one (6.7%) with Factor VII deficiency. The most common surgical intervention was ankle arthroscopy, with nine cases (50%). No infectious or intraoperative complications were documented, but one case of Hemophilic Pseudotumor developed late. The mean follow-up time was 87.7 months (IQR 60–105, SD 56.17). All patients reported improved pain and resumed their daily activities after the surgical intervention. Conclusion: Surgical management, regardless of the technique used (joint preservation or sacrifice), had a positive impact on patients by reducing pain after conservative management failure and allowing them to regain their daily activities, improving their quality of life.

Authors: Ekpa Akwaowo , Udoh Itoro , Eyoefen Ini
Published: December 2023

The feasibility for adopting emerging Open-Source software and free mobile GIS data collection tools for Polling Unit mapping (PUs) and inventory was tested. The dynamism of KOBO COLLECT and QGIS Open-Source technologies were used in mapping and analyzing the spatial distribution of polling units in Eket Local Government Area. The study maximized the potentials of Open-Source technologies to provide a graphical inventory of polling units and area coverage for information management in the electioneering process. Spatial analysis tool of QGIS was used for solving shortest path problem centered around emergency response routing scenarios based on travel time and distance impedance from an origin to a destination. It also helped to portray the distribution within the study area in a bid to reveal pattern and accessibility to the populace. Results obtained will allow citizens and electorates access information on the locations of various polling units, which ultimately serve as a decision supporting system that would enhance their participation. The maps are also useful for future distribution of polling booths, security personnel, for solving transportation issues and in service delivery during election periods.

New records of mitosporic ascomycetes on Nothofagaceae from Patagonia, Argentina
Authors: Sanchez Romina Magali , Bianchinotti Maria Virginia
Published: December 2023

Background and aims: The Funga of the Patagonian Nothofagus forests is being studied since the late 19th century, but despite many efforts is still far from being completely known. The aim of this paper is to present detailed descriptions and data on geographical distribution of some genera and species of mitosporic ascomycetes that constitute new records for Argentina and for the Neotropical Region.
M&M: Bark and woody debris from native Nothofagaceae were collected and studied. Reproductive structures were hand-sectioned and examined following traditional mycological techniques.
Results: Six species of mitosporic ascomycetes were identified: Avettaea salvadorae, Bactrodesmium atrum, Dwiroopa ramya, Gilmaniella multiporosa, Monodictys paradoxa and Pycnopeziza quisquiliaris. Full descriptions, comments on identification and data on distribution and habitat of each species are provided, along with photographs illustrating diagnostic features.
Conclusions: Two genera, Dwiroopa and Pycnopeziza, and one species, M. paradoxa, are registered for the first time in the Neotropical Region, two other species are first recorded in South America (B. atrum and G. multiporosa). This constitutes the second record of A. salvadorae in the continent, thus expanding its area of distribution.
How well do trees fit the city? Lessons from an urban tree survey in Córdoba, Argentina.
Authors: Galfrascoli Giovana , Bernardello Gabriel , Calviño Ana
Published: December 2023

Background and aim: Urban tree composition is generally highly diverse and largely non-native in origin. Species selection, however, should consider not only future predicted climate and species' environmental requirements, but also the regional invasion risk assessments and the respiratory health potential of species. Here, we assessed the suitability of the most frequent urban tree species by using available online databases.  M&M: Suitability was assessed by analysing tree attributes in relation to their invasive status in the study area, the respiratory health potential of the species given by their known pollination strategy and the bioclimatic match of species with the plantation zone. We grouped species according to their nativeness as non-native, regionally native and local native. After filtering those with undesirable characteristics (i.e., invasive species and/or with anemophilous pollination strategy) we analysed three bioclimatic variables: annual temperature, annual precipitation and precipitation seasonality. Results: Results showed that the composition of Córdoba's street trees is heavily biased towards non-native species, many of which are invasive, have an anemophilous pollination strategy and/or exhibit high bioclimatic mismatch. In addition, the strong bias in the current tree composition towards species from more humid, temperate regions is evident.  Conclusions: Our results highlight the importance of revising current policy decisions to adjust urban tree flora in the face of climate change.

Rapport building in suspect interviewing: A comparison of relationship- and procedure-based approaches in a laboratory setting
Authors: Huang Kuan-Ju , Teoh Yee-San
Published: December 2023

Both researchers and practitioners have stressed the importance of developing rapport in the investigative interviewing of criminal suspects. There is, however, no clear definition of what constitutes rapport and ways of achieving and maintaining rapport. Most research on rapport building with suspects have focused on a positive personal bond between the investigator and suspect (i.e., relationship-based approach), while more recent research suggests the merits of a neutral type of rapport building that focuses on developing a mutual understanding of the interrogation process and roles (i.e., procedure-based approach). The present study thus aimed to examine the effects of relationship- and procedure-based rapport building approaches on suspect interviewing outcome. Using a modified version of Russano, Meissner, Narchet, and Kassin’s (2005) cheating paradigm, “guilty” participants were interviewed using different rapport building approaches in a laboratory setting. We found that participants were more likely to confess in the procedure-based condition than in the relationship-based and control conditions. However, both approaches did not have an effect on the number of details participants were willing to disclose. We also found that the procedure-based approach affected participants’ perception about the evidence. Theoretical and practical implications for rapport building in suspect interviewing are discussed.
I learn what I like: Children’s preferences but not maternal IDS influence word learning from IDS and ADS
Authors: Eiteljoerge Sarah F V , Outters Vivien , Schildknecht Jana , Mani Nivedita
Published: December 2023

The input a child receives as well as the child’s own preferences can influence their learning. While parents typically use exaggerated infant-directed speech with their child (IDS), children’s preference for IDS varies across development, and even older children learn better from IDS relative to ADS (Ma et al., 2011). Here, we examine whether maternal input and children’s preference for IDS relative to ADS influence their word learning from the two registers.We tested 48 18- to 24-month-olds in a gaze-contingent preference task measuring whether they prefer a woman talking IDS or a woman talking ADS. Subsequently, children were presented with novel objects and their novel labels, with half of the labels in IDS and the other in ADS. At test, two objects were presented side-by-side and one object was labelled while children’s target looking was recorded. Additionally, we recorded mothers’ IDS and ADS.While mothers’ IDS differed from ADS, children did not show a systematic preference for one of the registers. Children learned word-object associations from IDS and ADS, and they showed higher target recognition in the register they preferred. These results reveal how the preferences a child forms can influence a child's word learning behaviour early in life.

This journal aims to assess the sanadic quality of traditions related to the issue of belching, focusing on the study of takhrij hadith bi lafzhi. Belching is an everyday phenomenon that is often overlooked but has relevance in the practical life of a Muslim. This study identifies, analyses and evaluates the sanad of traditions that touch on the aspect of belching, taking into consideration the criteria of validity of traditions based on the takhrij bi lafzhi method. The research methodology involves critical analysis of the hadith's sanad and comparison between the various narrations to gauge their quality. The results of this study provide a comprehensive picture of the extent of the validity of the traditions on belching and their relevance in the context of daily life of Muslims. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are expected to provide more accurate guidance in understanding the religious rulings related to belching. In conclusion, this study is not only in-depth on the validity of the hadith but also provides new insights into the understanding of religious practices in the context of daily life. As a result, this study is expected to make a positive contribution to the hadith literature and open the door for further research in this field.

Population surveys have traditionally been conducted using mail, telephone, or face-to-face recruitment of randomly selected individuals within demographically stratified bands to acquire data samples that are representative of the whole population of interest. More recently, the growth of the internet and mobile phone usage across the world has opened up the opportunity for online recruitment paradigms that can reach a large-scale and broad cross-section of the global population at a much faster rate and lower cost. However, online participant recruitment methods result in non-probability samples that are subject to the algorithms of online advertising platforms. Here we describe a method called quota-based dynamic online ad targeting (Q-DOAT) that dynamically targets respondents by age, sex and regional groups across a broad range of interest groups. Response rates are tracked by advertisement analytics and costings and adjusted to obtain the desired representation across demographic groups. Utilizing this method, the Global Mind Project serves advertisements through Facebook, Google Display and AdSense inviting individuals to complete an anonymous, self-report mental wellbeing assessment which respondents take for the purpose of receiving a mental wellbeing score and personalized self-help report. Here we evaluate the outcomes of this Q-DOAT method for the United States data of the Global Mind Project (83,589 responses were obtained from 2020 and 2023) by comparing against time-matched data from the American Community Survey, Household Pulse Survey and the American Trends Panel for questions where there were exact or near-exact matches. These included educational attainment and marital status by age and biological sex, the percentage seeking treatment for mental health problems and number of close friends. We show that demographic trends match within 5-10% with a slight bias in Global Mind Project data towards single people with fewer friends who were seeking mental health treatment.
Rally around the flag? Explaining changes in Swedish public opinion towards NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sweden changed its historic position of non-alignment and applied for membership in the NATO military alliance. This decision coincided with large shift in public opinion in favor of NATO membership, in what has been described as the largest shift in Swedish political opinion since polling began. We examine two possible explanations for this shift in public opinion, the ‘rally around the flag effect’ and the ‘elite influence effect’, by analyzing within-individual changes of a Swedish university student population at three different time points. We find that after the Russian invasion but before the decision was made to join NATO, public opinion was still split on this issue with roughly 40% still opposed. However, after the decision was made to apply for membership to the alliance many people changed their position (32%), either making up their minds or switching position entirely. We show that these changes were likely in response to the decision to join, and that they were mediated by individuals’ established political preferences. We interpret this as support for the elite influence thesis and discuss the implications of political elites’ power to shape public opinion.

What do we manipulate when reminding people of (not) having control? In search of construct validity

The construct of personal control is crucial for understanding a variety of human behaviors. Perceived lack of control affects performance and psychological well-being in diverse contexts – educational, organizational, clinical and social. Thus, it is important to know to what extent we can rely on the established experimental manipulations of (lack of) control. In this article, we examine the construct validity of recall-based manipulations of control (or lack thereof). Using existing datasets (Study 1a and 1b: N = 627 and N = 454, respectively) we performed content-based analyses of control experiences induced by two different procedures (free recall and positive events recall). The results indicate low comparability between high and low control conditions in terms of the emotionality of a recalled event, the domain and sphere of control, amongst other differences. In an experimental study that included three types of recall-based control manipulations (Study 2: N = 506), we found that the conditions differed not only in emotionality but also in a generalized sense of control. This suggests that different aspects of personal control can be activated, and other constructs evoked, depending on the experimental procedure. We discuss potential sources of variability between control manipulation procedures and propose improvements in practices when using experimental manipulations of sense of control and other psychological constructs.
Speech, Nonspeech Audio, and Visual Interruptions of a Tracking Task: A Replication and Extension of Nees & Sampsell (2021)

Published: December 2023

Interruptions from technology–such as alerts from mobile communication devices–are a pervasive aspect of modern life. Interruptions can be detrimental to performance of the ongoing, interrupted task. Designers often can choose whether interruptions are delivered as visual or auditory alerts. Contradictory theories have emerged regarding whether auditory or visual alerts are more harmful to performance of on-going visual tasks. Multiple Resources Theory predicts better overall performance with auditory alerts, but Auditory Preemption Theory predicts better overall performance with visual alerts. Nees and Sampsell previously found that multitasking was superior with nonspeech auditory alerts as compared to visual alerts. In the current experiment, their methods were replicated and extended to include a speech auditory alerts condition. Performance of the on-going tracking task was worse with interruption from visual alerts, and perceived workload also was highest in this condition. Reaction time to alerts was fastest with visual alerts. There also was converging evidence to suggest that performance with speech alerts was superior to performance with nonspeech tonal alerts. The current experiment replicated the results of Nees and Sampsell and extended their findings to speech alert sounds. Like in their study, the pattern of findings here support Multiple Resources Theory over Auditory Preemption Theory.
