Data-Driven Insights for a Holistic Understanding of Research Culture
Authors: Campbell Ann , Simms Victoria , Prince Maria 
Published: November 2024

Research environments (and their measurement and tracking) are becoming increasingly complex, with rapid Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements, interdisciplinary collaboration, and global connectivity shaping the way research knowledge is created and disseminated. Within this dynamic landscape, universities hold an ever increasing collection of valuable data, which are stored within core operational systems including research information systems, research management systems or grants databases, human resource systems and course management systems. This treasure trove of information, often overlooked and underutilised, not only serves as a valuable tool in guiding strategic decisions, but also could be further used to provide a comprehensive approach to monitoring research integrity and culture.
This critical reflection follows extensive conversations and debates around defining and assessing ‘research culture’. How can we possibly measure something that has, up until now, been viewed as merely a concept? How can we generate useful metrics that reflect the culture of a research institution? Our reflections will draw attention to the potential of leveraging readily accessible information to gauge and benchmark research integrity and culture practices. We discuss how regular habitual integration of these data sources enables continuous monitoring and measurement of research culture as well as the ability to assist in the assessment of interventions or initiatives designed to improve it. We reflect on how this approach ensures that University leaders have a consistent and up-to-date understanding of the research environment through which they can identify strengths, pinpoint areas for improvement, and cultivate a more robust, inclusive, and transparent research ecosystem.
The current paper, through illustrative examples from one UK-based institution, explores the potential in harnessing existing data, such as collaborative trends and prevailing research practices, to gain valuable insights into the dynamics of academic research. In addition, we explore the advantages and drawbacks of using this data to develop potential metrics that can be used to recognise and reward a healthy research culture.
Opening up Responsible Research and Innovation

Published: November 2024

Responsible research and innovation (RRI) is increasingly being implemented by researchers, and in the UK, its use is encouraged by funders such as UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The aim of RRI is to ensure that research and its impacts are opened up to broader deliberation, engagement and debate in an inclusive manner, and to enable the complexities and uncertainties of research to be revealed through involvement with those impacted by the research. Taken at face value, RRI appears to challenge the status quo of decisions around scientific and technological developments being left to those with scientific expertise. However, existing RRI frameworks are anthropocentric, and exclude the more-than-human world (animals, plants, soil, water, land etc.,). To address these issues a project was undertaken which aimed to design, co-produce and provide a conceptual framework for including the more-than-human world within responsible research and innovation. Part of the project included a one-day in-person workshop with diverse knowledge-holders to ensure different knowledges and perspectives were feeding into the project. The focus of this article is not on the workshop itself, but what arose from it. Following the workshop, one of the knowledge-holders produced a written piece about game theory and its potential role in RRI. This written piece is presented here and its importance and relevance to RRI is reflected upon. We explain why this written piece about game theory matters to RRI. We conclude by offering recommendations to researchers.

Розглянуто негативні ефекти видалення піску з пласта та методи уникнення утворення піщаних корків на вибої свердловин. Наведено причини руйнування привибійної зони пласта під час експлуатації свердловин із нестійкими колекторами та способи зменшення надходження піску у свердловину. Застосування хімічних методів є одним із найефективніших методів запобігання надходженню піску із пласта в свердловину, що використовують в Україні і за кордоном. Наведено аналіз науково-технічної і патентної літератури розроблених складів, які застосовуються для кріплення порід привибійної зони пласта. Наведено переваги і недоліки тампонажних складів і їх композицій, які використовують для кріплення порід. За результатами експериментальних досліджень розроблено склад тампонажного розчину для створення у привибійній зоні пласта цементного каменю із відповідними значеннями міцності на стискання і проникності для газу. Наведені результати вимірювань технологічних характеристик тампонажного розчину та сформованого цементного каменю із застосуванням стандартного реєструючого обладнання. За результатами експериментальних досліджень побудовано та проаналізовано графічні залежності міцності цементного каменю на стискання і коефіцієнта проникності каменю від вмісту спученого перліту у складі тампонажного розчину. Встановлено оптимальне значення вмісту спученого перліту у розчині, за якого забезпечуються відповідні значення міцності на стискання (до 4 МПа) і проникності для газу (до 3,47 мкм2) цементного каменю. Використання розробленого складу дозволяє підвищити дебіт газових свердловин із нестійкими колекторами і покращити умови їх роботи за рахунок запобігання надходженню піску із пласта у свердловину.

В процесі експлуатації газових та газоконденсатних свердловин, особливо на пізній стадії розробки родовищ, можуть виникати ускладнення внаслідок накопичення рідини на вибої або в понижених ділянках траси викидних ліній свердловин. Тому важливим резервом зменшення темпів падіння видобутку газу і підвищення коефіцієнта кінцевого газовилучення є продовження періоду стабільної роботи обводнених сверд-ловин шляхом застосування ефективних методів їх експлуатації. Метою роботи було висвітлення інноваційних технологічних рішень та результатів їх впровадження в реальних промислових умовах на об’єктах видобутку природних вуглеводнів. Поставлені завдання вирішувались шляхом аналізу та порівняння ефективності застосування як вітчизняних, так і зарубіжних методів боротьби з накопиченням пластової рі-дини на вибої свердловин. Запропоновані методи базуються як на зменшенні надходження рідини до вибою, так і вилученні її на поверхню із свердловини. В контексті роботи представлено метод винесення рідини із вибою за допомогою спінюючих поверхнево-активних речовин. Для подачі рідких поверхнево-активних речовин застосовують: інгібіторний бачок, інгібіторопровід, насосний агрегат, автоматичну систему подачі поверхнево-активних речовин. Подача твердих поверхнево-активних речовин може бути реалізована через буферну засувку фонтанної арматури в ручному режимі або із застосуванням спеціальної системи подачі твердих поверхнево-активних речовин. Також в роботі описано послідовність виконання операцій для здійснення подачі в свердловину поверхнево-активних речовин через гайку швидкого з’єднання та інгібіторний бачок. Основний акцент в статті зосереджений на подачі поверхнево-активних речовин за допомогою ав-томатичної системи подачі. Наведено поверхневе та підземне обладнання, яке використовується в авто-матичній системі подачі, розглянуто різні варіанти подачі хімреагентів у свердловину. На низці досліджуваних свердловин показано особливості їхньої роботи до та після встановлення автоматичної системи подачі поверхнево-активних речовин на вибій. В статті детально розглянуто позитивні та негативні аспекти роботи автоматичної системи подачі поверхнево-активних речовин на свердловинах родовищ Передкарпаття. За результатами виконаних досліджень рекомендовано до застосування на практиці на свердловинах родовищ Передкарпаття подачу спінюючих поверхнево-активних речовин автоматичною системою подачі.

Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION
Postoperative pain management is an essential aspect of perioperative care for patients undergoing emergency Cesarean sections. Adequate pain control not only improves patient comfort and satisfaction but also facilitates early mobilization, reduces the risk of complications, and shortens hospital stays. Transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is a well-established technique for providing analgesia to the anterior abdominal wall, which can significantly reduce postoperative pain. In recent years, ultrasound guidance has been increasingly used to improve the accuracy and safety of TAP block. This research article aims to review the use of ultrasound-guided TAP block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing emergency Cesarean Sections.
Methodology : A total of 60 patients who underwent Emergency Cesarean Sections were included in the study. All received bilateral US-guided TAP blocks with either ropivacaine 0.5% 20 ml on each side i. e. 40 ml total or saline. All participants received a spinal anaesthetic with bupivacaine, followed by postoperative acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and patient-controlled i.v. tramadol . Each patient was assessed 24 h after delivery for PCA Tramadol usage, average pain score, nausea, vomiting, itch and duration of hospital stay.
Results and Conclusion Out of the total 60 patients , 30 were in the study group and 30 in placebo group. Total PCA Tramadol use in 24 h was reduced in the study group compared with the placebo group ( P<0.05). The active group reported improved satisfaction with their pain relief measured by visual analogue scale as compared with the placebo group ( P=0.008). There were no local complications attributable to the TAP block.
Transverse abdominis plane block was effective in providing analgesia with a substantial reduction in tramadol use during 24h after cesarean section when used as adjunctive to standard analgesia.
The Influence of Speed on Error Rates in Simultaneous Interpreting: An Observational Study (English to Arabic)
Authors: Abdelillah Es-sousy  , Youssef Alaoui  , Kamal Jalid  
Published: November 2024

In simultaneous interpreting, the rate of source speech (SR) plays an important role in the quality of the interpreter. As the rate of speech increases, interpreters have to process and translate words faster, which can lead to more errors. This phenomenon is because faster speech harms the interpreter's attention and work, causing more omissions, additions, and other linguistic and paralinguistic errors. The impact of these errors can affect the accuracy and quality of interpretation, which highlights the need to understand how changes in speech rate affect performance and the production of good strategies to solve problems. This study examines how the rate of speech (SR) affects the quality of simultaneous interpreting (SI), particularly to assess the impact of the rate of speech on the interpreter. For this purpose, a method was adopted that was divided into seven categories based on Barik's (1971) classification. These categories include segment omission, word and phrase-level omission, deviation of meaning, addition, incomplete sentence, full pause, and long pause. In this study, the performance of six United Nations interpreters with many years of experience was evaluated using six audios ranging from 124 to 164 words per minute (wpm). Findings indicated that higher speaking frequency led to more errors, especially in word and segment omissions. This emphasizes the importance of addressing specific strategies to overcome the challenges that rapid speech can pose to the accuracy and effectiveness of simultaneous interpreting.

Published: November 2024

IntroductionTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) have a high prevalence and complex etiology. The purpose of this study was to apply a machine learning (ML) approach to identify risk factors for the occurrence of TMD in adults and to develop and validate an interpretable predictive model for the risk of TMD in adults.MethodsA total of 949 adults who underwent oral examinations were enrolled in our study. 5 different ML algorithms were used for model development and comparison, and feature selection was performed by feature importance ranking and feature decreasing methods. Several evaluation indexes, including the area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC), were used to compare the predictive performance. The precision-recall curve (PR), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) further assessed the accuracy and clinical utility of the model.ResultsThe performance of the random forest (RF) model was the best among the 5 ML models. An interpretable RF model was developed with 7 features (gender, malocclusion, unilateral chewing, chewing hard substances, grinding teeth, clenching teeth, and anxiety). The AUCs of the final model on the training set, internal validation set, and external test set were 0.892, 0.854, and 0.857, respectively. Calibration and DCA curves showed high accuracy and clinical applicability of the model.DiscussionAn efficient and interpretable TMD risk prediction model for adults was successfully developed using the ML method. The model not only has good predictive performance, but also enhances the clinical application value of the model through the SHAP method. This model can provide clinicians with a practical and efficient TMD risk assessment tool that can help them better predict and assess TMD risk in adults, supporting more efficient disease management and targeted medical interventions.
Functional interleukin-4 releasing microparticles impact THP-1 differentiated macrophage phenotype

Published: November 2024

IntroductionMacrophage cell therapies offer potential treatment in inflammatory diseases due to their ability to mobilize and stimulate their environment. However, successful treatment requires a pro-regenerative macrophage phenotype to be retained in vivo. Polymeric microparticles may provide a potential route to direct and sustain macrophage phenotype. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is the most commonly used cytokine for in vitro modulation towards M2a macrophage phenotype. We designed IL-4 encapsulated microparticles to investigate the impact of drug release kinetics and developed a robust human peripheral blood monocyte cell (THP-1) in vitro assay to assess functional IL-4 release upon macrophage phenotype.MethodsIL-4 was encapsulated with human serum albumin (HSA) in microparticles fabricated from a blend of PLGA and a PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymer. Functional release of IL-4 and HSA over different time periods was measured using ELISAs. THP-1 differentiated macrophages were cultured either in direct contact with microparticles or indirectly through transwells. The immunomodulatory impact of microparticles on THP-1 cells were measured using ELISA and qPCR.Results and DiscussionIL-4 release kinetics fit with the first-order release kinetics model, indicating concentration dependent release. IL-4/HSA encapsulated microparticles modulated THP-1 differentiated macrophages towards pro-immunoregulatory subgroups. This strategy provides a novel approach in drug carrier development for in vitro assessments of macrophage phenotype to inform development of targeted therapies for inflammation and immune modulation.
