Nexus between Corporate Social Responsibility Practices and Sustainable Livelihood in Nigerian Oil and Gas Production Region
Authors: Mbateman Chondough Stephanie
Published: July 2022

Oil and Gas remains the backbone of the Nigerian economy as it constitutes a major revenue source for the government. However, host communities have not felt the effect of carrying the financial burden of the nation. The heavy reliance on the oil sector has crippled instead of enhanced the environmental and social conditions of the host communities. This study examines the nexus between CSR practices and sustainable livelihood in the Nigerian oil and gas production region using secondary data. The study concludes that oil firms have underperformed within the scope of the usage of CSR to mitigate environmental and social concerns. Attention should be drawn to the peaceful coexistence of the oil firms and the community members in the affected region. CSR initiatives, together with government interventions, will greatly improve the livelihoods of the people. It is recommended that oil firms recognize their obligations to all stakeholders, the environment and the expectations of the host communities and establish a relationship that will foster a working partnership for community development and peaceful coexistence.

Evaluation of Medical Information on Male Sexual Dysfunction on Baidu Encyclopedia and Wikipedia: Comparative Study
Authors: Ma Ming , Yin Saifu , Zhu Mengli , Fan Yu , Wen Xi , Lin Tao , Song Turun
Published: July 2022

Background

Sexual dysfunction is a private set of disorders that may cause stigma for patients when discussing their private problems with doctors. They might also feel reluctant to initiate a face-to-face consultation. Internet searches are gradually becoming the first choice for people with sexual dysfunction to obtain health information. Globally, Wikipedia is the most popular and consulted validated encyclopedia website in the English-speaking world. Baidu Encyclopedia is becoming the dominant source in Chinese-speaking regions; however, the objectivity and readability of the content are yet to be evaluated.

Objective

Hence, we aimed to evaluate the reliability, readability, and objectivity of male sexual dysfunction content on Wikipedia and Baidu Encyclopedia.

Methods

The Chinese Baidu Encyclopedia and English Wikipedia were investigated. All possible synonymous and derivative keywords for the most common male sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and their most common complication, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, were screened. Two doctors evaluated the articles on Chinese Baidu Encyclopedia and English Wikipedia. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scoring system, DISCERN instrument, and Global Quality Score (GQS) were used to assess the quality of disease-related articles.

Results

The total DISCERN scores (P=.002) and JAMA scores (P=.001) for Wikipedia were significantly higher than those of Baidu Encyclopedia; there was no statistical difference between the GQS scores (P=.31) for these websites. Specifically, the DISCERN Section 1 score (P<.001) for Wikipedia was significantly higher than that of Baidu Encyclopedia, while the differences between the DISCERN Section 2 and 3 scores (P=.14 and P=.17, respectively) were minor. Furthermore, Wikipedia had a higher proportion of high total DISCERN scores (P<.001) and DISCERN Section 1 scores (P<.001) than Baidu Encyclopedia. Baidu Encyclopedia and Wikipedia both had low DISCERN Section 2 and 3 scores (P=.49 and P=.99, respectively), and most of these scores were low quality.

Conclusions

Wikipedia provides more reliable, higher quality, and more objective information than Baidu Encyclopedia. Yet, there are opportunities for both platforms to vastly improve their content quality. Moreover, both sites had similar poor quality content on treatment options. Joint efforts of physicians, physician associations, medical institutions, and internet platforms are needed to provide reliable, readable, and objective knowledge about diseases.
THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER SUBJECT ON THE PERSONA “WE” FROM REAGAN’S POEM LIFE
Authors: Iswalono Astrinda Nilasastri
Published: July 2022

Written by young Reagan, Life is a poem with a distinctive discourse as a literary work in the beginning of American modernism. The study of Life in the present article focuses on the interpretation of “we” and is contextualized within the historical narratives of the Puritans and the spirit of American Dream in the 20s. The analysis of the poem’s representations of the symbolic, the imaginary, and the Truth presented here is a Žižekian reading of the subjects “we” in the poem’s text who appear to get themselves into a pseudo activity in relation to the narratives of the Founding Fathers as the chosen ones in the holy journey of establishing America. The speaker of the poem, which is part of “we,” reflects the spirit of American Dream and reminds his fellow Americans to keep going amidst the feeling of alienation caused by the modern capitalism that is expressed by words “suffer”, “struggle”, “weep”, “drench”, “break”, “jade”, “sorrow”, “warp” and “pain” 15 times in only 8 stanzas/32 lines. The speaker’s sense of Americanism becomes the only Truth for the “we” until they grow their own Cynical Awareness.
Opportunities and Challenges of Forest Development in Ethiopia
Authors: Gemechu Beleta Kitessa
Published: July 2022

Forests are essential for life on earth. They are not really simply the green cover; we require beautifying the earth. This research review aimed to overview the forest development opportunities and the challenges for forest development in Ethiopia. Published documents, reports from governments and non-governmental organizations on collective forest management were found via keyword searches in relevant literature data banks were used as data source materials. The global forest is declining at a rate of 13 million ha in each year. Tropical forest decline is particularly severe in Africa, Brazil and Indonesia. For example, Africa has lost around 3.4 million ha per year between 2000 and 2010. Ethiopia is thought to be losing 140,000 ha per year. Deforestation, which is occurring at an alarming rate, is one of such problems and a key factor challenging forest development. Deforestation, agricultural expansion and lack of strong coordinating forestry institutions are some of the challenges for forest development in Ethiopia. The causes of deforestation and forest degradation are dynamics, complex, and vary from place to place. There are several reasons for the depletion of forest resources, the following are considered major: Increases in population and consequent increases in the demand for agricultural land, settlements around forest areas, encroachments, forest fires, ranges of political, cultural, and socio-economic factors. Technical advances in energy efficiency are critical for developing countries like Ethiopia whose populations depend primarily on biomass fuels and Reduce demand for fuelwood via the dissemination and usage of fuel-efficient stoves and/or alternative-fuel cooking and the collaboration of researchers, educators, and developmental extensions are needed to rehabilitate the degraded forest land.

A Study on Measuring Social Inclusion of Minority Women: Limitations on the role of marriage immigrant women as parents, and their effect on child rearing
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee eun-ju
Published: July 2022

Objectives This study is to analyze marriage immigrant women from the point of view of ‘parents’ and seek ways to embrace their limitations. Whereas previous research on marriage immigrant women was focused on ‘marriage life’ and ‘assimilation into Korean society’, this study is to highlight on the limitations of their role as parents in public elementary and secondary schools after settlement.
Methods As a research method, in-depth interviews were conducted a total of 10 times or more on parenting experiences from kindergarten to elementary and middle school from 2014 to 2022 for a grounded theory analysis.
Results As a result, when the role of marriage immigrant women was classified into core categories such as mother role performance, livelihood support performance, and parent role performance; the parental role showed the highest limit. In other words, the level of satisfaction with life in Korea was quite high in the infant stage, which emphasized the role of mothers and the stage of providing livelihood support, but they were very concerned about their children's academic achievement and emotional communication difficulties after entering elementary school.
Conclusions It is expected that this study will suggest implications for the need for an individual support system for multicultural youth in public schools in a multicultural support system that is currently limited to family life and economic support.

Published: July 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the studies on creative teaching published in Korean journals through the content analysis method and keyword network methods.
Methods TThe final 77 papers among the papers searched as keywords for ‘creative teaching’ in Korean journals were targeted. For content analysis, the 77 papers were analyzed in terms of topics and research methods using an analysis frame. In addition, 216 keywords were derived for keyword network analysis, and frequency analysis and centrality analysis were conducted using textom programs and UCINET.
Results First, before 2008 the main topic of creative teaching was creative teaching methods. From 2009 to 2014, in addition to creative teaching methods, various concepts such as creative teaching behavior, creative teaching beliefs, and creative teaching environment began to emerge, and after 2015, research on creative teaching behavior increased, and new concepts such as creative teaching competency and creative teaching efficacy were introduced. Also, from 2009 to 2104, most studies on creative teaching were conducted at universities, but after 2015, studies on creative teaching at universities and early childhood institutions increased. Second, the main keywords of creative teaching research were ‘teaching method’, ‘creative problem solving’, ‘child creativity’, and ‘teacher creativity’. As a result of network analysis, ‘creative teaching behavior’, ‘creativity’, and ‘creative teaching method’ were dominant keywords in degree centrality, closeness centrality, and mediation centrality.
Conclusions This study reviewed systematically research on creative teaching by period, and explored the relationship between the variables related to creative teaching. Implications for the results and future studies were discussed.

Methods Data was collected to 250 elementary school homeroom teachers in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, who worked on an on-off parallel curriculum since the second stage of social distancing was implemented due to COVID-19. First, descriptive statistical analysis of the measuring variables was performed, and correlation analysis was conducted to see the relevance between the variables each of the variables. Second, a series of independent t-tests was conducted to see if there was a difference before and after COVID-19 for each variable. Third, Process Macro was used to analyze the moderating effect of the school organizational climate in the effect of job demand on teacher burnout.
Results Results are as follows: First, it was revealed that after COVID-19, job demands and teacher burnout increased slightly compared to before COVID-19, while after COVID-19, the school climate deteriorated slightly compared to before that. Second, it was found that the job demands of elementary school teachers before COVID-19 had a negative correlation with the school organizational climate, and a positive correlation with teacher burnout, and the same results after COVID-19. Third, the school organizational climate had a moderating effect in the relationship between job demands and teacher burnout of elementary school teachers before COVID-19, but it had no a moderating effect after COVID-19.
Conclusions We discuss support system for elementary school teachers to alleviate and prevent burnout in crisis situations such as COVID-19, limitations of this study, and suggestions for follow-up studies.

Authors: De Jesús Aldama Fernando , Montes de Oca Jiménez Roberto , Varela Guerrero Jorge Antonio
Published: July 2022

Las especies que conforman el género Chlamydia afectan una amplia gama de hospederos animales, causando diversas patologías. Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus), Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) y Chlamydia pecorum (C. pecorum) son las de mayor relevancia clínica en pequeños rumiantes a nivel mundial, ya que han sido relacionadas con problemas reproductivos, oculares y del tracto digestivo respectivamente; dos de estas (C. abortus y C. psittaci), representan un riesgo potencial zoonótico al ser humano. El diagnóstico de infecciones por organismos de este género resulta complicado; ya que, en la mayoría de los casos no hay signología clínica que indique la presencia del agente en animales afectados. Actualmente en países europeos la prevención y control principalmente de C. abortus se realiza mediante la administración de inmunógenos atenuados comerciales; sin embargo, su uso no ha mostrado resultados satisfactorios en la protección de animales susceptibles. Por lo tanto, la implementación de nuevas opciones de inmunización basadas en la utilización de proteínas recombinantes es la línea de investigación que más realce está tomando actualmente. Adicionalmente, el uso de proteínas con potencial inmunogénico podrían ser herramientas importantes para el diagnóstico, prevención y control de estos patógenos. Debido a esto, la presente revisión se centró en recapitular los estudios más actuales enfocados al uso experimental de diferentes proteínas inmunogénicas de Chlamydia spp. empleadas a nivel mundial, destacando su innovación y resultados obtenidos en los modelos experimentales.

Authors: Correa-Valencia Nathalia M. , Ramírez-Vásquez Nicolás F. , Fernández-Silva Jorge A.
Published: July 2022

The present study aimed to determine Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) prevalence according to environmental samples and to explore the herd-level risk factors associated to MAP infection in dairy herds under mechanical milking parlor and pasture grazing-based systems. The study herds (n= 94) were located in 60 districts from five municipalities in the Northern region of the province of Antioquia, Colombia. Herds were visited once in 2016 to collect two composite environmental samples and to complete a risk assessment questionnaire. MAP identification was carried out using a quantitative real-time PCR method based on the IS900 sequence. A herd was considered as MAP-positive if one or both of the environmental samples were found positive by the molecular technique. The information on risk factors was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. The apparent herd-level prevalence found was 14.9 % (14/94; 95 % CI: 7.7-22.1), ranging from 0 to 33.3 % at municipality-level. Herds where other than Pure-Holstein breeds were predominant (i.e. Jersey, Jersey crossbreeds) were more likely to be MAP-qPCR positively infected than those on which where pure-Holstein cattle was predominant (OR=3.7; 95 % CI: 1.1-15.2). The present study reports MAP prevalence in dairy herds in the province of Antioquia (Colombia), and the association between MAP environmental positivity with the predominant breed in the herd.

Published: July 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia del Virus de la Lengua Azul (VLA) en ovinos, por la técnica reacción en cadena de la polimerasa con Transcripción Reversa (RT- PCR) en tiempo real. Se evaluaron 366 ovinos procedentes de las diez provincias de la región del Perú. La metodología empleada fue la toma de muestras sanguínea de la vena yugular del ovino, seguidamente se realizó el proceso de extracción y purificación de ARN con el kit QIAmp®, luego la transcripción reversa para obtener el ADNc, y finalmente realizar la RT- PCR en tiempo real, para lo cual se utilizó el kit SuperScript III platinium One- step qRT–PCR, siendo los iniciadores y sondas dirigidos al segmento 10 del gen NS3 del VLA. Los resultados de la prueba de RT-PCR en tiempo real revelaron dos ovinos positivos con valor de ciclo umbral (Ct) de 35.21 y 35.57, siendo la prevalencia de 0.54 % de ovinos positivos a VLA en sistema de crianza extensiva, con las condiciones del ambiente que favorecen el desarrollo del vector Culicoide. Se concluye que mediante la técnica RT-PCR en tiempo real, se confirma la presencia del VLA en esta región del Perú, lo que hace necesario futuros estudios para determinar la detección de otros serotipos potenciales de VLA en la Amazonia peruana, con la finalidad de mejorar las estrategias de control de la enfermedad.

Published: July 2022

Los fitoestrógenos (FEs) son compuestos químicos provenientes del metabolismo secundario de algunos vegetales, tienen un efecto potencial sobre los parámetros reproductivos de los animales domésticos, al actuar como agonistas o antagonistas de los receptores estrogénicos. El objetivo de esta revisión es conocer los efectos que produce una dieta rica en FEs en la fisiología reproductiva de los animales de abasto. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en dos bases de datos mediante el uso de palabras clave relacionadas con los efectos que produce la ingestión de FEs en la dieta, sobre la reproducción de animales de abasto, únicamente se consideraron los estudios controlados desarrollados in vivo. Se encontraron resultados contradictorios, por un lado, la ingesta de un alto contenido de los compuestos polifenólicos, provenientes de distintos forrajes en la hembra bovina, estuvo relacionado con la disminución de la fertilidad, presencia de abortos y de quistes ováricos; por otro lado, la ingesta de alto contenido de FEs indujo un aumento en la calidad seminal de los machos de las especies: bovinos, ovinos y lepóridos; por lo que, dichos efectos se pueden atribuir a la concentración, al tipo de FEs, sexo, especie e incluso a la raza del animal.
La citometría de flujo, un universo de posibilidades en el ámbito veterinario. Revisión
Authors: Sánchez-Torres Luvia Enid , Espinosa-Bonilla Alejandra , Diosdado-Vargas Fernando
Published: July 2022

La citometría de flujo es una tecnología que ha favorecido el rápido avance de muchas y muy diversas áreas de la ciencia, ya que permite la medición simultánea de múltiples características de cada una de las partículas o células individuales que se encuentran en una muestra mientras pasan a gran velocidad a través de una zona iluminada por uno o varios láseres. La información obtenida incluye datos sobre el tamaño y la complejidad interna, así como otros parámetros inherentes a cada una de las partículas presentes en la muestra, los cuales son captados por el equipo como señales luminosas. Las partículas más comúnmente analizadas en los citómetros de flujo son células, así que puede analizarse la expresión de moléculas tanto en su superficie como en su interior, la viabilidad, la funcionalidad, la proliferación celular, el contenido de ADN y la producción de citocinas entre muchas otras. Estas determinaciones pueden realizarse gracias a la utilización de anticuerpos acoplados a fluorocromos o bien, al uso de moléculas cuya fluorescencia depende de la característica que se quiera evaluar. Algunos citómetros de flujo son además clasificadores (“sorters”), lo que implica que el equipo puede separar físicamente las células que presentan las características de interés y además, es factible que una vez que han sido purificadas, éstas puedan emplearse en posteriores experimentos. En esta revisión se concentran los fundamentos de la citometría de flujo y sus principales aplicaciones, las cuales ofrecen una gran ventana de oportunidad en el ámbito veterinario, tanto en investigación como en la clínica.

Published: July 2022

The N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), a urease inhibitor, has been reported as one of the most promising compounds to reduce losses by volatilization, and to maximize the use of urea nitrogen (N) in agricultural systems. A field study was carried out to examine urease inhibitors' potential about volumetric density and forage mass grass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraés) to N application. The experiment was carried out from September 2017 to September 2018. The experimental design used was complete randomized blocks in the 3×2×4 factorial array, considering: three periods of the year (wet season, dry season, and the transition), two sources of urea (conventional urea and NBPT–treated urea), and four N rates (0, 80, 160 and 240 kg N ha-1 yr-1), replicated three times. Nitrogen sources promoted a positive effect (P<0.0001) on bulk density, forage mass, and in the grazing stratum during the wet season and the transition season, with increasing N rates in pastures. The leaf: stem ratio decreased linearly (P<0.0045) as increased N rates, and the higher ratio during the wet season and lower in the dry season of the year. For the rates of 80 kg N ha-1 yr-1, there was a significant difference (P=0.0042) between sources, with greater (P=0.0006) forage mass of 0–30 cm, post-grazing forage mass (P=0.0042) and forage volumetric density (P=0.0006), when utilized the conventional urea. The application of N, regardless of the source, provides an increase in forage mass and volumetric density in Xaraés grass pastures up to a dose of 240 kg N ha-1 yr-1, in the transition season and wet season.
The use of satire to communicate science in ‘Don't look up’
Authors: Little Hannah
Published: July 2022

Satire has long been used as a tool in social commentary and political communication, and in some cases this has extended to commentary about science and its role in policy. This is certainly the case for the recent Adam McKay film, ‘Don't look up’, where an allegorical story about a comet heading for Earth is used to satirise the current political and media response to the climate catastrophe. While the film succeeds in making its point, how the humour interacts with objectives of science communication highlights some risks of using satire where there's overlap between the subject of the satire and a potential audience for communication.

Published: July 2022

Problem and goal . The article is aimed at identifying factors in the development of conceptual thinking of schoolchildren in the conditions of informatization of education. The rapid informatization of society and education makes modern teachers look for new ways to form the conceptual thinking of students, while involving the latest information and communication technologies. There is a problem of determining the role and place of conceptual thinking in the evolution of a digital society, identifying effective domestic and foreign electronic educational resources that contribute to the formation of conceptual thinking in children of different ages. Methodology. A model for the formation of conceptual thinking of secondary school students based on an electronic course in Spanish has been created. Experimental training of schoolchildren was carried out using educational electronic resources, the development of which was completed on the basis of taking into account the provisions of this model. Results. It is experimentally substantiated that the positive dynamics of the formation of the readiness of primary school students to use terminological structures is due to the identified pedagogical conditions, the introduction of the proposed teaching methods and informatization tools. As a result of the experiment, schoolchildren revealed the improvement of conceptual thinking and an increase in motivation for communication. Conclusion. The use of the created and tested electronic textbook helps to increase the efficiency of the formation of conceptual thinking in primary school students in the framework of teaching a foreign language. The development of conceptual thinking using a foreign language can be carried out by taking into account the described pedagogical conditions, which provide for the widespread use of modern information technologies.

Typology of civilizations in the diachronic dimension: Basic models and perspectives of Russia
Authors: Ivanov A. V. , Popkov Yu. V.
Published: July 2022

Under the current civilizational crisis, we need a promising model of the civilizational world order and we have to focus on its features and advantages compared to the historically preceding types of civilizations. The authors solve two main tasks: first, they explain the identification of the main types of civilizational development in the diachronic dimension and in search of a civilizational project that meets best the contemporary needs and realities; second, they examine the spiritual-ecological development strategy as a basic model of the civilizational future. Based on the civilizational approach in its diachronic dimension, the authors identify the historical types of the global world order. Unlike the common typology - traditional/preindustrial, industrial/ technogenic and post-industrial/information civilizations, the authors distinguish traditional/ biocentric, technogenic-consumer/technocentric and spiritual-ecological/noospheric civilizations, and focus on the description of the last one. The spiritual-ecological type of civilization is not presented as a purely ideal project, because it has already been partially implemented in different periods and in different cultures. Today, its implementation at a qualitatively new level can help to overcome the contradictions of the current crisis in the global development. Russia has certain prerequisites for the development of such a promising model - rich natural resources, historically established spiritual values, and opportunities for a new Eurasian integration. The sociological analysis of the youth value priorities indicates the attractiveness of the new civilization and the partial readiness of the youth to become real actors of the civilizational transformation. Thus, the authors conclude that the current period can become transitional - from the technogenic-consumer to the spiritual-ecological type of the global world order.
Unfair justice, or how social activism destroys the ideas of equality and ‘good society’
Authors: Trotsuk I. V.
Published: July 2022

The article is a review of the book by Douglas Murray The Madness of Crowds (translated from English by N.A. Lomteva; Moscow: RIPOL classic, 2021. 480 p.). Although this does not follow from the title (as in the book by H. Pluckrose and J. Lindsay on the same topic and with the same estimates Cynical Theories. How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Genders, and Identity - and Why This Harms Everybody ), the book focuses on the idea of social justice or rather its transformations due to the blurring boundaries between academic research and social activism, private and public life, past and present (in their media representations). On the example of several macro-cases, typical and obvious for the Western society, but well known to the Russian reader through the media-discourse rhetoric, the author identifies the consequences for the ‘objective’ state of social justice of such radical changes in its interpretations as the transition from idealistic-philosophical (social level) to punitive-politicized (the level of groups and communities, including personal responsibility) definitions.

This article aims to find out how to follow up on criminal law for criminal acts of insulting the President and vice president and to find out how in the future criminal law policies are related to insults to the President and Vice President. The problem in this paper is how to regulate the criminal act of insulting the President and Vice President? And what about future criminal law policies related to the regulation of insulting the President and Vice President? The research method used in this research is normative legal research. The results of this study state that insults to the President and Vice President need a law that specifically regulates because considering the President is a symbol of sovereignty and the previous law has been revoked through the Constitutional Court's decision Number: 013-022/PUUIV/2006 and the Constitutional Court's decision Number: 6/PUU -V/2007 and the use of UU ITE is less precise because UU only regulates in general terms. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the law to emphasize cases of insult to the President and be able to provide special legal protection to the President and Vice President in the future so that things like this do not happen again.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana tindak lanjut dari hukum pidana untuk tindak pidana penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan wakil presiden serta untuk mengetahui bagaimana kedepannya kebijakan hukum pidana terkait dengan penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan Wakil Presiden. Dalam tulisan ini membahas bagaimana pengaturan tindak pidana penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan Wakil Presiden. Bagaimana kebijakan hukum pidana kedepannya terkait dengan pengaturan penghinaan Presiden dan Wakilnya. Penelitian ini adalah tipe penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan Wakil Presiden diperlukan hukum yang mengatur secara tepat mengingat Presiden merupakan simbol kedaulatan dan hukum yang ada sebelumnya sudah dicabut melalui putusan Mahkama konstitusi Nomor: 013-022/PUUIV/2006 dan putusan Mahkama konstitusi Nomor: 6/PUU-V/2007 serta kurang tepatnya menggunakan UU ITE karena UU tersebut hanya mengatur secara umum. Maka dari itu saran yang diajukan yaitu diperlukannya pembaharuan hukum agar dimasa yang akan datang dapat diberikan dengan hukuman yang lebih memberi sanksi tegas terhadap kasusu tersebut dan supaya hal seperti ini tidak terulang kembali dan mempunyai kekuatan hukum yang kuat dan pasti.
Detecting emerging topics by exploiting probability burst and association rule mining: A case study of Library and Information Science
Authors: Xu Min , Li Guangjian , Wang Xiaodi
Published: July 2022

The primary reason for detecting emerging topics is to reduce researchers’ time in finding current related topic while maintaining awareness of current trends in a particular field. Nowadays, the amount of information is growing rapidly, but tracking the development of a research field by manually reading the literature is challenging. This study takes Library and Information Science (LIS) as a case study to present a new method for detecting emerging topics. This novel method could be applied to analyse various types of documents and detect emerging topics automatically. This method utilizes a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to generate topics and calculate probabilities. It discovers emerging topics by detecting probability burst in consecutive time spans. Association rule mining and lexical similarity computation are adopted to represent the topics. This work tests the method by comparing the results of emerging topics from the LIS data in the baseline paper. The validation demonstrates that the proposed approach is feasible.
Similarity indexes for scientometric research: A comparative analysis

A significant number of papers in the field of scientometrics addressed the comparisons of various similarity indexes. However, there is still a debate on the appropriateness of an index compared to others, beacause of the assessment differences reported in the literature. The objective of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the five most used similarity indexes for the three scientometric analysis types: co-word, co-citation and co-authorship. A total of 388 papers addressing similarity indexes in scientometric analysis over three decades were retrieved from the Web of Science and examined; of which 49 were retained as the most relevant according to selective criteria. The approach consisted of building cross matrices for the five indexes (Jaccard, Dice-Sorensson, Salton, Pearson, and Association Strength) for the three types of scientometric analysis. For each of these analyses, a distinction is made between papers according to their theoretical or empirical results. Furthermore, papers are classified according to the mathematical formula of the similarity index being used (vector vs non vector). In the 49 relevant papers being selected, the comparative analysis showed that there is still no consensus on the appropriateness of an index for co-word and co-authorship analyses, while for co-citation, Salton is the widely preferred one. The Association Strength is the less covered and compared to other indexes for the three analysis types. An open source computer program was developed as a tool to facilitate empirical comparative studies of indexes. It allows generating normalized matrix of any chosen index for the two mathematical variants.
Everyday information practices of ethnic minorities with small populations in Yunnan, China
Authors: Zhu Ming , Liao Xizhu
Published: July 2022

This paper explores the everyday information practices of ethnic minorities with small populations (EMSP) to identify the conditions that affect their information practices within the context of Chinese culture. A qualitative study was conducted with China’s ethnic minorities, and data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving 45 participants. The data were statistically analyzed and processed using three levels of qualitative data coding analysis to identify the conditions that affect their everyday information practices. Findings show that the information needs of EMSP in China are relatively centralized, their sources of information acquisition are relatively fixed, and they do not cross ethnic group boundaries to share information with the outside world. In addition, traditions, customs, lifestyle, and ethnic identity are the conditions that influenced their everyday information practices. These results further the understanding of ethnic characteristics and traditional culture as conditions that can influence everyday information practices.
The Relationship Between Medical School Clerkships and Primary Care Specialty Choice: A Narrative Review

Published: July 2022

Background and Objectives: There is a persistent shortage of primary care physicians in the United States. Medical schools can help meet societal primary care health needs by graduating more students who select family medicine and other primary care careers. The objective of this narrative review was to evaluate the relationship between clerkships and primary care specialty choice.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search and narrative review of research articles examining the association between clerkships and primary care specialty choice. We evaluated the quality of included articles using a validated scale, assessed for methodology and outcomes, and synthesized using a narrative approach.
Results: We identified 59 articles meeting our research criteria. A required primary care clerkship in the core clerkship year was associated with increased primary care specialty choice. This finding was strongest for family medicine clerkships and family medicine specialty choice. Clerkships that were longer, were of higher quality, exposed students to a wider scope of primary care practice, and occurred within an institutional climate supportive of primary care were also correlated with more students choosing a primary care specialty. While student self-reported interest in primary care often increased following a primary care clerkship, this interest was not always sustained or consistently associated with a primary care residency match or primary care career.
Conclusions: Required family medicine and primary care clerkships were correlated with primary care specialty choice. More high-quality research is needed to better understand how to maximize the impact of clerkships on primary care specialty choice.

Resumo – As metodologias ágeis têm ganhado espaço nas organizações públicas e privadas. Trata-se de um modo de desenvolvimento que valoriza um amplo conjunto de princípios e práticas que visam, por exemplo, gerar rapidez, integração entre os membros da equipe, envolvimento dos clientes e outras partes interessadas, buscando atender à um contexto produtivo caracterizado pelas mudanças constantes nos requisitos de produtos. Este trabalho de investigação teve como objetivo geral apresentar a estratégia ÁGIL-PERSCRUM para nortear o processo de engenharia de requisitos aplicada à metodologia ágil Scrum. Foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: a) Descrever o processo de engenharia de requisitos utilizado em modelos tradicionais de desenvolvimento de software; b) Descrever a metodologia ágil Scrum, com ênfase nos seus princípios e práticas, na estruturação dos membros da equipe Scrum, nos eventos existentes e nos artefatos gerados; c) Criar modelos no Draw.io para descrever os fluxos de atividades propostas para o processo de Engenharia de Requisitos aplicado ao Scrum; d) Propor critérios para priorização dos requisitos; e) Apresentar exemplo de pontuação das atividades e/ou artefatos constantes nos fluxos propostos. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, utilizou-se de pesquisas do tipo básica, exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. Ao final do trabalho, pôde-se concluir que os objetivos geral e específicos foram atingidos. Construiu-se uma proposta que já está sendo objeto de pesquisa no projeto Adoção da ÁGIL-PERSCRUM para direcionar o processo de engenharia de requisitos aplicada à metodologia ágil Scrum no âmbito de sistemas de informação da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia.
