Background:Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the corpus callosum (CC) are rare entities. We performed a systematic review of the available literature to better define the natural history, patient characteristics, and treatment options for these lesions.Methods:A MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and The Cochrane Library search were performed for studies published through June 2015. Data from all eligible studies were used to examine epidemiology, natural history, clinical features, treatment strategies, and outcomes of patients with CC-AVMs. A systematic review and pooled analysis of the literature were performed.Results:Our search yielded 37 reports and 230 patients. Mean age at presentation was 26.8 years (±13.12 years). AVMs were most commonly located in the splenium (43%), followed by the body (31%), and then the genu (23%) of the CC. A Spetzler-Martin grade of III was the most common (37%). One hundred eighty-seven (81.3%) patients presented with hemorrhage, 91 (40%) underwent microsurgical excision, and 87 (38%) underwent endovascular embolization. Radiosurgery was performed on 57 (25%) patients. Complete obliteration of the AVM was achieved in 102 (48.1%) patients and approximately twice as often when microsurgery was performed alone or in combination with other treatment modalities (94% vs. 49%; P < 0.001). Mean modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at presentation was 1.54 and mean mRS at last follow-up was 1.31. This difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.35).Conclusion:We present an analysis of the pooled data in the form of a systematic review focusing on management of CC-AVMs. This review aims to provide a valuable tool to aid in decision making when dealing with this particular subtype of AVM.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities provided by information technologies (IT) to improve supply chain processes. It aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify research areas that require further exploration to leverage IT and enhance supply chain performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a systematic literature review methodology to analyse a set of 177 publications, including journal papers, conference papers, periodicals, theses, and books published between 2013 and 2023. Thematic synthesis was chosen as the most appropriate approach to amalgamate the findings obtained from the systematic literature review conducted in the study. This method involves interpreting thematic information and facilitating the development of a comprehensive understanding of the literature being reviewed.FindingsThe literature review reveals that certain information technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), Blockchain, information and communications technology (ICT) and information sharing, offer significant potential for improving supply chain processes. However, the application of these technologies in the field of supply chain is currently under-researched. The findings highlight the need for further exploration of these technologies and their impact on supply chain redesign and enhancement.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a systematic overview of the potential benefits of IT in the context of supply chains. It emphasises the under-researched nature of specific technologies and their potential to support organisations in improving their supply chain processes. The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of relevant literature and its identification of research gaps that need to be addressed in future studies.

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in language teaching is profoundly influenced by educators’ attitudes and perspectives towards its use. Conversely, the ideologies or viewpoints held by individuals can significantly affect the facilitation or hindrance of information and communication technology adoption and utilization. The use of information and communication technology tools in English language instruction is widespread and varies greatly. Nonetheless, the beliefs and perspectives of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers play a crucial role in either reinforcing or undermining the importance of this application. The incorporation of innovative technological tools, such as information and communication technology, into educational practices depends on the essential involvement of educators. To optimize student learning results, teachers' attitudes must change. This is demonstrated by the relationshipbetween the effectiveness of instructional reforms and their capacity to adjust to new technology. By employing the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology framework, a systematic review of the literature was conducted as part of the research. The literature covered 79 empirical studies published in the last 10 to 15 years that examined the relationship between teachers' perceptions of and actual use of information and communication technology in language teaching and learning. This study demonstrates the relationship that exists between how teachers view the usage of information and communication technology and how it is actually used in language instruction. It also looks at the variables affecting how instructors view the usage of information and communication technology.

Education evolves constantly, and in order to follow that process and the insertion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), a Systematic Review of the Literature (RSL) has been produced to answer the question of research regarding the use of educational applications focused on the production of text in high school and what is the current status of production in the academic setting in that subject. Based on that, two variables (e.g.; “educational applications” and “textual production”) were investigated in electronic databases such as ERIC, Scopus and Google Scholar, Artclies were selected based on the RSL process and a bibliometric analysis was performed. Despite the fact that it was found in the literature incipient studies around the subject, it was evident the potential contribution of the use of educational applications in the search for a quality education.

The article is devoted to the issue of settling relations on the implementation of cyber security policy in the European Union and Ukraine. The leading role of the EU in the process of determining the key directions of cyber policy in the EU member states, as well as the steps of Ukraine in this area in the course of European integration reforms are studied. The authors analyze the system of normative acts of EU institutions in the field of cybersecurity, including, in particular, strategic documents containing general guidelines for policy implementation, as well as binding regulations and directives, the provisions of which specify mechanisms for implementing cyber policy in EU member states. The main normative documents of the EU in the field of cyber security of both states and private consumers of digital services on the Internet have been identified. The formation of a secure digital market in the EU in the context of the implementation of certification schemes for digital products and services, as well as the regulatory and institutional framework for combating fraud on the Internet are analyzed. The main opportunities, means of implementation and EU institutions responsible for the functioning of the secure European cyberspace, in particular the EU Cyber Security Agency (ENISA), are explored. In the context of the adoption of the new EU Cyber Security Strategy for the next 10 years, future EU steps in the field of cyber security are identified, such as accelerating the implementation of key Internet security standards, application and rapid completion of 5G technologies, cyber intelligence, etc. The authors analyze the system of legal acts of Ukraine in the field of national cybersecurity. The shortcomings of the regulatory and legal regulation of cybersecurity and the implementation of regulations of national legislation are identified. In addition, the authors note the positive developments in the implementation of cyber policy in Ukraine, including the development of the Cyber Security Strategy of Ukraine for 2021-2025.

Healthcare personnel shortage is a growing concern in many countries, especially in remote areas, where it has major consequences on the accessibility of health services. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have often been proposed as having positive effects on certain dimensions of the recruitment and retention of professionals working in the healthcare sector. This study aims to explore the impact of interventions using ICTs on recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, including the following steps: exploring scientific and gray literature through established criteria and data extraction of relevant information by two independent reviewers. Of the 2,225 screened studies, 13 were included. Nine studies showed a positive, often indirect, influence that ICTs may have on recruitment and retention. Despite the conclusions of 9 of 13 studies reporting a possible positive influence of ICTs on the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals, these results highlight the need of a deeper reflection on that topic. Therefore, more research is needed.

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the key determinants hindering Knowledge Transfer (KT) practices for Information Technology Project Managers (ITPMs) Background: The failure rate of IT projects remains unacceptably high worldwide, and KT between project managers and team members has been recognized as a significant issue affecting project success. Therefore, this study tries to identify the determinants of KT within the context of IT projects for ITPMs. Methodology: A systematic review of the literature (SLR) was employed in the investigation. The SLR found 28 primary studies on KT for ITPMs that were published in Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2010 and 2023. Contribution: Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was used to build a theoretical framework where the determinants were categorized into Personal factors, Environmental (Project organizational) factors, and other factors, such as Technological factors influencing ITPMs (Behavioral factors), to implement in KT practices. Findings: The review identified 11 key determinants categorized into three broad categories: Personal factors (i.e., motivation, absorptive capability, trust, time urgency), Project Organizational factors (i.e., team structure, leadership style, reward system, organizational culture, communication), and Technological factors (i.e., project task collaboration tool and IT infrastructure and support) that influence implementing KT for ITPMs Recommendations for Practitioners: The proposed framework in this paper can be used by project managers as a guide to adopt KT practices within their project organization. Recommendation for Researchers: The review showed that some determinants, such as Technological factors, have not been adequately explored in the existing KT model in the IT projects context and can be integrated with other relevant theories to understand how a project manager’s knowledge can be transferred and retained in the organization using technology in future research. Impact on Society: This study emphasizes the role of individual actions and project organizational and technological matters in shaping the efficacy of KT within project organizations. It offers insight that could steer business owners or executives within project organizations to closely observe the behavior of project managers, thereby securing successful project outcomes. Future Research: The determinant list provided in this paper is acquired from extensive SLR and, therefore, further research should aim to expand and deepen the investigation by validating these determinants from experts in the field of IT and project management. Future studies can also add other external technological determinants to provide a more comprehensive KT implementation framework. Similarly, this research does not include determinants identified directly from the industry, as it relies solely on determinants found in the existing literature. Although a comprehensive attempt has been made to encompass all relevant papers, there remains a potential for overlooking some research in this process.

The ability of the global economy to compete and evolve in the 21st century increasingly depends on the innovative and efficient use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Over the last decade, digitalization has improved decision-making in the global business ecosystem in a variety of contexts, and recent advances in technology transformed the business models in a way that reshapes the economic actor’s interaction with business activities. The emergent conversion of the traditional economy is changing as automation tools, process standardization, and reuse of goods along with cloud computing technology shape the global economy towards digitalization, arising the concern to ensure the development of ICT proficiency in all sectors of the economy in order to create economic balance, avoiding a potential crisis based on the innovation deficit. The speed of digital transformation in the business environment will directly affect the models of economic growth and social development in the future. The present technological revolution is a valid indicator of the civilization progress of the 21st century and the digital transformation requires an improved association of organizational e-leadership skills, innovation, and business development based on business intelligence concepts. Therefore, the reduction of e-leadership skills can be a competitive disadvantage for the industry and a constraint on potential growth. From these considerations, the aim of the paper is to examine the diffusion of business intelligence elements in the global economy, providing examples of business models that have emerged as a result of digitalization improvement, and contributes to an overview of the main features of the digital economy that have emerged in these business models. Using a methodology based on the systematic review of the literature and global analysis regarding the topic, the paper presents a framework of the role that digitalization performs in the global economy transition from analog to digital configuration.

Medication non-adherence is a notable contributor to healthcare inefficiency, resulting in poor medication management, impaired patient outcomes, and ineffective symptom control. To summarise interventions targeting medication adherence for adults with mental-physical multimorbidity in primary healthcare settings. A systematic review of the literature - published in any language and with any country of origin - was conducted. MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and the Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature - more commonly known as CINAHL - were searched for relevant studies. Data were extracted and synthesised using narrative synthesis. The Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) taxonomy was used to classify intervention types. Risk of bias was assessed using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's quality assessment tool for controlled intervention studies. Eleven studies, representing 2279 patients, were included. All interventions examined were classified into one EPOC domain, namely 'delivery arrangements'. All included studies examined patients who had a physical condition and depression. Seven studies examining interventions focused on coordination of care and management of care processes reported statistically significant improvements in medication adherence that were attributed to the intervention. Four studies considering the use of information and communication technology observed no changes in medication adherence. Interventions that coordinate and manage healthcare processes may help improve patients' adherence to medication regimes in those with mental-physical multimorbidity. However, it is still necessary to better understand how digital health technology can support patients in following their medication regimes. As the growing challenges of treating multimorbidity are faced, everyone involved in health services - from providers to policymakers - must be receptive to a more integrated approach to healthcare delivery.

[Objective] Develop and validate a psychometric scale to assess the general population's attitude towards older adults as learners and users of Information and Communication Technologies (PAMTIC scale). [Methodology] A preliminary version of the scale was built based on a systematic review of the literature. In Study 1, the initial version was reviewed by experts and by cognitive interviews. In Study 2, PAMTIC and the validation scales were applied in digital format to 196 people aged between 18 and 85 years. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), reliability and validity tests were performed. In studies 3 and 4, the final version of the scale and the validation scales in print and digital formats were applied to 1,041 people aged 18-82 years. In Studies 3 and 4, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability and validity tests were performed. [Results] EFA showed 6 factors with good internal consistency coefficients ranging between .80 and .88. CFA confirmed the 6-factor structure and indicated a good fit of the multidimensional model to the data. Correlations between PAMTIC and validation scales provided evidence of nomological validity. [Conclusions] PAMTIC has satisfactory psychometric properties to measure attitude towards older adults as learners and users of Information and Communication Technologies in a reliable and valid way.

It Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) are increasingly present in the school environment and also in several studies focused on the teaching practice and the implications of the use of TDIC in the teaching and learning processes. The understanding of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) supported by the Knowledge Base detailed by Lee Shulman (1986, 1987), more specifically the Pedagogical Content Knowledge, in the international literature Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), provides elements to reflect on the knowledge inherent to the teacher who uses TDIC for pedagogical purposes. A systematic review of the literature was performed (Brizola and Fantin, 2016; Galvão and Ricarte, 2019 and Campos, Caetano and Laus-Gomes, 2023) in the search for a theoretical framework regarding the practices on the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC). The documental corpus consists of 7 works from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), 2 theses and 5 dissertations. In the process of delimiting the Analysis Categories, the Atlas.ti software was used. The studies analyzed indicated that the process of appropriation of the use of technologies in education by future teachers corroborates Shulman's (1986, 1987) propositions about the knowledge base for teaching, which is composed of a set of knowledge arising from training, experiential learning and knowledge constructed in interaction with peers. Therefore, the need for a solid articulation between initial training and continuing education of teachers is emphasized, so that both are aligned with the perspective of a digital culture and promote the development of reflective attitudes towards TDIC and its implications in daily school life. The results of the research pointed to the close connection between initial and continuing education, so that an initial education that ignores the technological potential in teaching tends to generate future resistance on the part of teachers.

PurposeThis article aims to provide the current state of the art of the literature on the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the measurement and management of performance in the healthcare sector. In particular, the work aims to identify current and emerging ICTs and how these relate to the performance measurement and management (PMM) cycle of healthcare organizations.Design/methodology/approachTo address the research objective, we adopted a systematic literature review. In particular, we used the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) methodology to select articles related to the investigated topic. Based on an initial screening of 560 items retrieved from Scopus and ISI Web of Knowledge, we identified and analyzed 58 articles dealing with ICTs and PMM in the healthcare sector. The last update of the dataset refers to February 2024.FindingsAlthough we attempted to address a relevant topic for both research and practice, we noticed that a relatively small sample of articles directly addressed it. Through this literature review, in addition to providing descriptive statistics of research on ICTs and PMM in healthcare, we identified six theoretical clusters of scientific streams focusing on the topic and eleven categories of ICTs effectively tackled by the literature. We then provided a holistic framework to link technologies to the different PMM phases and functions.Practical implicationsNowadays, the availability of ICTs to support healthcare organizations’ processes and services is extensive. In this context, managers at various organizational levels need to understand and evaluate how each ICT can support different activities to benefit most from their adoption. The findings of this study can offer valuable insights to top and line managers of healthcare organizations for planning their investments in both existing and emerging ICTs to support the various stages of development and functions of PMM.Originality/valueMost of the current literature focusing on ICTs in the healthcare sector refers to the contribution that technology provides to clinical processes and services, devoting limited attention to the impact of ICTs on administrative processes, such as PMM. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this represents the first literature review on the contribution of ICTs to PMM in the healthcare sector. The review, differently from other research focused on specific ICTs and/or specific PMM functions, provides a holistic perspective to understand how these technologies may support healthcare organizations and systems in measuring and managing their performance.
