The relationship between hydrogen and its application in wind energy: A systematic review

PURPOSE: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of scholarly research focusing on using quantitative methods and particularly structural equation modeling (SEM) in management and economics studies, as well as provide a bibliometric agenda including the time horizon of individual publications, the highest citation rate, geographic and industry areas, methodological context, and keywords. METHODOLOGY: A systematic literature review (SLR) was undertaken using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. We limited our search to the last five years to identify the newest research publications, and we used keywords related to quantitative research while excluding qualitative research. Then we analyzed papers related to SEM and those published in English. FINDINGS: Our results confirmed that quantitative methods are used both in management and economics research, and showed a growing trend in the number of publications in the last five years. However, there are many more publications on management than on economics as well as there are more papers published in the Scopus database than Web of Science. Taking into account structural equation modeling, this method is used primarily in management research. In terms of industry, publications using SEM considered both single- and multi-industry including, first, all Asian countries and then African ones. Publications, especially in the management field, are descriptive in nature and based on primary data collected using a survey questionnaire. Papers are published in various journals and the most cited are those published in journals with wider subject areas. IMPLICATIONS: The systematic literature review is a fundamental necessity in any field of knowledge, benefiting both academia and learners. Our results may be useful for future researchers planning research using quantitative methods, especially SEM, in the business or economic field, by indicating the most cited papers and journals as well as industry and country areas. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This paper represents a systematic attempt to link quantitative methods, with a particular emphasis on SEM, with research interests on managerial and economic subjects and papers published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Employing the bibliometric analysis within the systematic literature review, the paper shows interest and the current state of research using quantitative methods which proves its value and originality.

Weight excess association with severity in children and adolescents with COVID-19: A systematic review.

PURPOSE: It is increasingly emphasized that human resource management practices (HRMP), which refer to recruiting and selection, training and development, compensation and performance appraisal, are of great importance for creating innovation. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that traditional HRMPs are already insufficient, which entails the need to rethink and reformulate them in the direction of more effective innovation while also allowing organizations to survive COVID-19-like crises. While there is an extensive literature on human resources management and innovation, there is still no consensus on innovation-driven HRMP. This study aims to identify and synthesize most significant and trustworthy research contributions of innovation-driven HRMP. In addition, to facilitate theory building in the field of HRMP, this article consolidates the existing knowledge into an integrative framework. This framework can be used by future researchers to identify gaps and ambiguities in the meaning of innovation-driven HRMP. METHODOLOGY: The article presents the results of a systematic literature review of 71 empirical research articles referring to innovation-driven HRMP from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. FINDINGS: The systematic literature review allowed us to identify innovation-driven HRMP, taking into account three levels of analysis: individual, group and organizational, with the latter level of analysis being dominant in previous publications. Recognition of innovation-driven HRMP, taking into account the levels in question, is included in an integrative framework, which is the theoretical basis for guiding future research. Our results confirmed the growing trend in the number of publications on the subject since 2010. Most researchers used a quantitative approach. Based on the first author’s affiliation, authors from Great Britain contributed the largest number of publications. Articles are published in various journals, but mainly in those on human resources management. The research took into account a variety of organizational contexts, predominantly in dynamic and complex industries. Our findings show that the current state of research on innovation-driven HRMP confirms the need for further research in this area. Based on this, we provided thematic gaps and potential questions for future research divided into three levels of innovation-driven HRMP. IMPLICATIONS: Our systematic literature review allowed us to propose implications for future researchers planning to conduct research in the field of innovation-driven HRMP. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Our systematic literature review focuses on identifying innovation-driven HRMP along with determining the current state of knowledge and future research directions in this area. In addition, we developed an integrative framework that aims at organizing existing literature but also at identifying promising future research directions into innovation-driven HRMP.

Review question/objective Public health interventions are often implemented directly by government and so have an observational, rather than experimental, evidence base that may not be captured in traditional academic published sources. There is, therefore, a need to determine whether this grey literature is being actively sought when evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions through systematic literature review; and also whether the inclusion of this grey literature has an impact on the conclusions of systematic literature reviews (SRs) evaluating public health interventions. This is particularly important as the findings of systematic literature reviews are increasingly used to inform public health policy decisions. Where possible, the sources used to obtain the grey literature in the included SRs will be categorised. As the prevention of childhood obesity is a major emerging public health issue in developed countries, this has been chosen as the topic for this methodological systematic review. The review question is: What is the impact of findings from grey literature on the outcomes of systematic reviews on interventions to prevent obesity among children? Primary Review Objective is to evaluate the impact of findings from grey literature on the results of systematic reviews on prevention of childhood obesity. Secondary Review Objective is to determine the ratio of black to grey literature (definitions are provided in Background) included in the eligible systematic reviews; to determine the study design of the grey literature included in SRs. Background By 2025 obesity rates are predicted to rise in Australia by 65% despite the myriad substantial efforts of a multiplicity of interventions and strategies from the public health sector, particularly those at the community or small unit level.1 Childhood obesity often persists into adulthood, and these strongly established links to adult obesity along with all the attendant risks and consequences make childhood a natural starting point for a closer examination of prevention literature.2,5-6 It also provides a logical focus for early intervention and therefore an abundance of literature exists in the field. Recent literature increasingly supports the argument that high level policy, regulation and legislation is required to prevent childhood obesity, and that whole-of-population, whole-of -environment approaches need to be developed and implemented.7-8 However while policy: “a set of plans to establish and achieve the desired performance goals of a group or organisation”9 abounds, and often confounds10 successes remain generally elusive. To be genuinely evidence-informed, policy needs to access systematic reviews which provide summary conclusions derived from their critical assessments and syntheses of the relevant evidence base. To be comprehensive and representative this base should include, or at least consider, “grey literature and unpublished studies”.11There are two types of literature which could be included in systematic reviews and are known colloquially as black and grey. Black literature is that which is published in academic, scholarly journals. Grey literature, which is usually defined as “Information produced on all levels of government, academia, business and industry in electronic and print formats not controlled by commercial publishing i.e. where publishing is not the primary activity of the producing body”12, takes many different forms13 but is essentially documents that have not been formally published, and have commonly not been peer-reviewed.14 Research institutes for example, produce working papers, technical and consensus reports, issues papers and policy briefs which have valuable content to impart and constitute grey literature. In addition the Joanna Briggs Institute, the Cochrane Collaboration and the Campbell Collaboration stipulate that, in addition to black literature, searches for grey and unpublished literature must be conducted by their systematic reviewers in order to avoid publication bias.15 While systematic reviews sum up the best available research on a specific question by “synthesizing the results of several studies”16 decision makers are now often faced with numerous systematic reviews on the same health issue. The next logical and appropriate step is an overview of systematic reviews, to synthesise and summarise the findings17 and if the overview is itself a systematic review, then the end result should provide stronger and even more comprehensive evidence. A recent dialogue of Australian public health professionals and dietitians emphasised the advocacy approach to obesity prevention, settling on the tripartite strategy of “political commitment, multi-sectoral support and community engagement.”18 It is this complexity of approach that may benefit from an examination of the grey literature (GL) supporting these policies. Simkhada's view19 that GL is needed to fill the information gap as “an essential part of the evidence base for practice in complex interventions, which may have multi-stakeholders, have multi-variables, have a lack of predictability and robust data and require a broad literature approach”, is held by many others20-23. Currently the Australian government is investing in research into the access and preservation of GL in light of its relevance to the development of health policy24. Similarly in 2006 the U.S. National Library of Medicine, aware that policymakers, more than any other research group, found GL especially relevant for context, and for its ability to reflect and map “how debate changes over time on a particular topic”25 commissioned AcademyHealth26 to conduct a research project into the scope and status of this literature. Often the strength of GL lies in the way it can reflect the lay voice, the voice from the field, public opinion: what people think. How can policy succeed when individuals' beliefs and behaviours are at odds with the underlying principles and truths of achieving healthy weight?27-28 Baum and others suggest that we need to look below the surface, focusing on the underlying social determinants of heath rather than “immediate and visible causes” and that the role of public policy should be to shape the social environment so that it is more conducive to good health.29-30 As Australian obesity prevalence continues to rise (in fact no country has managed to reverse obesity trends)31-32, it is reasonable to suggest that policy associated with obesity prevention is at best flawed or limited and possibly under- or ill-informed. As Badger et al argue “it is irresponsible to interfere in the lives of other people on the basis of theories unsupported by reliable empirical evidence”11. Community engagement is a challenging but well-supported aspect of behavioural change in public health. Community receptiveness needs to be gauged and substantiated in creative ways so that it can feed into the information that underpins our policies and supports implementations.33-34. To achieve a greater degree of success in regard to childhood obesity prevention, there is a need to tap into evidence from the widest variety of sources, so as to reflect the complexities of the issue and perceptions of end-users.35 Grey literature is where community attitudes, beliefs, values and opinions might be reasonably expected to be found, and also where pilot programs and case studies assessing the feasibility of public health interventions will have been reported. The degree to which this literature has been accessed and incorporated into the evidence that informs policy may have an impact on the ultimate success or sustained “take-up” of an intervention. To determine the extent to which systematic reviews in the field of child obesity prevention identify and include grey literature in their collated evidence-bases, a comprehensive search of the literature will be undertaken. The resultant systematic reviews will be retrieved and examined for inclusion. Those that do not match the selection criteria will be excluded. The ratio of black to grey literature in the included systematic reviews will be calculated and the proportion of systematic reviews that are grey will be briefly discussed. A comparison of results from grey versus black systematic reviews, and of those systematic reviews with high versus low ratios of included grey literature, will be undertaken to determine whether grey literature changes the findings or interpretation of the outcomes that are assessed. Inclusion criteria Types of studies Systematic reviews of interventions to prevent obesity among children, where there is either meta-analysis or narrative summary or tabular presentation of results. Types of reviews will include those where the primary literature consists of experimental or observational literature. Traditional literature reviews, or narrative reviews not based upon an a-priori protocol and rigorous methodology will be excluded. Qualitative synthesis or mixed methods reviews will also be included. Types of participants The reviews of interest will only include studies on children aged two to 18 years without (at baseline) a diagnosis of obesity, or eating disorders, or co-morbid conditions that pre-dispose to obesity. Types of intervention(s) Public health interventions aimed at obesity prevention that may be applied at the population, community (including schools) or primary care level. Types of outcomes Primary - Obesity prevention will be measured according to body mass index (weight/height2) as calculated against a suitable growth reference e.g. relevant age and .sex growth classification standards, with classification into underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obese categories.36-37 Outcomes will be grouped according to the type of prevention program implemented. Secondary - Ratio of black to grey eligible systematic reviews; ratio of black to grey studies included in eligible systematic reviews; study designs of grey literature included in eligible systematic reviews; sources used in eligible systematic reviews to obtain grey literature Search strategy The search strategy aims to find both published and unpublished systematic reviews. A three-step search strategy will be utilised in this review. An initial limited search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library will be undertaken to “scope” the literature followed by an analysis of the text words contained in the title and abstract, and of the index terms used to describe article. A second search using all identified keywords and index terms will then be undertaken across all included databases. Thirdly, the reference list of all identified reviews, reports and articles will be searched for additional systematic reviews. Systematic reviews published in English will be considered for inclusion in this review, with no date limitation. The databases to be searched include: ARIF (Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility): Reviews database & Methodology database; Biological Abstracts; Campbell Library; CINAHL; Cochrane Library; EMBASE; ERIC; Google Scholar; INFORMIT: Education, Health and Social Science databases; Medline/PubMed; PAIS; Proquest; PsycInfo; Scopus; Sociological Abstracts; TRIP (Turning Research into Practice) database. The search for unpublished systematic reviews will include: DIPEx - Database of Individual Patient Experiences; EPPI Centre (particularly Obesity and Sedentary Behaviour Database); Google Advanced Search; Google Books; GreyNet; Mednar; Scirus; Social Care Online (SCIE); TROVE (for theses, books); WHOLIS. Major international institutional repositories will also be searched. Journals which will be hand searched include Childhood Obesity, International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, Obesity and Obesity Reviews. Initial search keywords to be used will be: (Obesity OR obese) AND (Child or paediatric or pediatric or adolescent or youth or infant) AND (prevent* or intervent*) AND (systematic review or meta-analys* or meta analys*). Where a thesaurus of descriptors or index terms exists, or the ability to “explode” headings, or limit to years of publication and/or document type, full advantage will be taken of these database-specific features. Searches will comprise of a combination of keywords and other available options designed to maximize the chances of retrieval of eligible studies. An example of a completed reproducible search strategy will be appended to the systematic review report. (Appendix I) All study titles and abstracts will be imported into reference management software, duplicates removed, and each title/abstract reviewed according to the inclusion criteria. The full text paper of each potentially relevant study will then be retrieved and again reviewed for eligibility according to the inclusion criteria. Reasons for exclusion will be documented. In cases where study eligibility is uncertain, a consensus decision will be reached by the co-authors. A final database of included systematic reviews will be produced. A PRISMA flowchart38 will be constructed so that the article selection process is transparent and can be replicated. Assessment of methodological quality Systematic reviews selected for retrieval will be assessed by two independent reviewers for methodological validity using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for systematic reviews prior to inclusion in the review (Appendix II). Any disagreements that arise between the reviewers will be resolved through discussion, or with a third reviewer. Data collection Data will be extracted using the JBI standardised extraction tool for systematic reviews (Appendix III). The data extracted will include specific details about the phenomenon of interest, populations, study methods and outcomes of significance to the review question and specific objectives. Data synthesis The unit of interest is the pooled body mass index results from the eligible systematic reviews (whether presented as a mean difference in BMI or difference in proportions of underweight, healthy, overweight or obese), grouped according to type of obesity prevention program. As the eligible systematic reviews are likely to include studies presented in other eligible systematic reviews in the evidence base (ie duplicated data), it would not be appropriate to meta-analyse the pooled body mass index results for the same interventions reported in these systematic reviews as it would result in double-counting. As the objective of this systematic review is to determine the impact of grey literature on review results, for each type of childhood obesity prevention program an assessment of the concordance of pooled results between grey and black systematic reviews will be undertaken. ie overlapping confidence intervals of the pooled results, and evaluating the agreement of findings/discrepancy in findings. It will also be determined whether there are patterns or trends in pooled results according to the increasing levels/ratios of grey literature in the included systematic reviews. Potentially, sensitivity analysis will be undertaken and publication bias39 will be examined, both as tests of the impact of Grey Literature if there are a sufficient number of studies A narrative meta-synthesis (i.e. meta-synthesis and narrative summary) of the results for each pre-specified outcome will be presented within subheadings appropriate to each type of obesity prevention program identified and assessed in the included systematic reviews. In the event that any systematic reviews compare results from grey and black literature, these will be presented narratively and potentially meta-analysed if the data are homogenous and not duplicated between systematic reviews. Conflicts of interest No conflicts of interest Acknowledgements This review will form part of a submission for the Masters of Clinical Science and therefore a secondary reviewer Lisa Heuch (LH) will only be used for critical appraisal.

Hydrogen farm concept: A Perspective for Turkey

Although there is evidence that dengue virus is circulating in Tanzania, the country lacks a dengue surveillance system. Consequently, the true estimate of dengue seroprevalence, as well as the incidence in the population, the frequency and magnitude of outbreaks is unknown. This study therefore sought to systematically review available dengue data from Tanzania. The systematic review was conducted and reported using the PRISMA tool. Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, WHOLIS and Google Scholar) were searched for articles using various keywords on the illness, data and geographical location. Identified articles were assessed for inclusion based on predefined eligibility criteria. Data were extracted from included articles, analysed and reported. Based on the 10 seroprevalence studies in defined populations with estimates of acute confirmed infections that were included in the review, the estimated seroprevalence of past dengue infection in Tanzania ranged from 50.6% in a health facility-based study to 11% in a population-based study. Acute confirmed infections of dengue were estimated to be as high as 38.2% of suspected cases. Only one study reported on an outbreak. It is evident that dengue needs to become part of regular disease surveillance in Tanzania. Control measures need to be instituted with a focus on building human resource capacity and integrating dengue control measures in ongoing health programmes, for both preventive and curative interventions. Systematic reviews are valuable in assessing health issues when surveillance data are not available.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (Guidelines) advises older adults to be as active as possible. Yet, despite the well documented benefits of physical activity just 12.8% of those ages 65 and older meet the Guidelines. To address this, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) developed a Midcourse Report focused on effective strategies to improve older adult physical activity behaviors. The first step in this process was a systematic literature review. A literature review team was contracted to examine the evidence on key settings and effective behavioral intervention strategies, as well as effective policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches, to improve physical activity among older adults. The PSE search employed an equity-centered framework adapted to researching PSE approaches for improving physical activity outcomes in older adults. Sixteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-three titles and abstracts were screened, and 734 full articles were reviewed for inclusion. Of those, 64 original research articles were included for the final review to answer two questions, one (plus 5 sub-questions) focused on Settings/Strategies literature (45 studies) and one (plus 2 sub-questions) focused on PSE literature (19 studies). The literature review process identified key settings and evidence-based strategies to support older adults in becoming more physically active, and provides a foundation for the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report: Implementation Strategies for Older Adults. More research is needed to address how factors related to equity and psychosocial constructs influence physical activity behaviors among older adults.

Purpose-To examine the antecedents of individual resistance to organizational change, supporting theories (models) and research methods. Design/methodology/approach- Systematic reviews were conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Two electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science) were systematically screened, all articles of empirical quantitative research examining individual resistance to change in organizational settings were eligible for inclusion. Findings- 20 articles meet the study criteria. Only trust in management and cognitive flexibility were correlated with all 3 dimensions of resistance to change (behavioral, cognitive, affective). Dispositional resistance to change, cognitive flexibility, mindfulness, trust, leadership, leader-member relationships, participation, communication, and justice were the main antecedents of different dimensions of resistance to change. 9 articles describe support of theories (models). Articles tend primarily to cross-sectional and correlation design. Limitations/implications-Restricted to two electronic databases, empirical quantitative research, and English articles may lead to under-representation of research conclusions. The findings imply the three-dimensional concept of resistance to change may more precisely explain the relationship between antecedents and specific resistance components. This study provides suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the management of organizational change resistance and fills the gap in the systematic literature review on antecedents of resistance to organizational change.

The global demand for new energy has entered an unprecedented era, and the application of wind energy is one of the key contents in the development of new energy. Taking the “wind energy + application” in WOS (Web of Science) and CNKI database as the retrieval target, and the relevant papers retrieved as the research data, this paper uses the scientific knowledge mapping software (CiteSpace5) to carry out the keyword commonality analysis, cluster analysis and time mapping analysis on wind energy application scenarios.Finally, summarized research hotspots and forecasted its research trends in wind energy application scenarios in global and China. The results show that the international wind energy application research hotspots and trends are wind energy storage and wind power project site selection; In China there are offshore wind power and wind energy evaluation.

This paper aims to develop a systematic review on graduate employability and competence development, intending to present an international perspective on the matter. It analyses the role of higher education institutions in promoting the development of competences for employability. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement was used as a formal systematic review guideline for data collection. Data was obtained from research studies over the period 2009–2019. The analysis included a total of 69 papers from Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Results show that Europe leads the number of publications on these topics during the past decade. One of the main issues associated with competence development and graduate employability found in the review is related to the (mis)match between university graduates’ competences and employers’ needs. Findings indicate that higher education institutions are concerned with using strategies to enhance the development of competences for graduate employability. Graduate employability and competence development around the world depend on a strong sense of innovation and collaboration practices implemented in higher education.

Chatbots have experienced significant growth over the past decade, with a proliferation of new applications across various domains. Previous studies also demonstrate the trend of new technologies, especially artificial intelligence, being adopted in libraries. The purpose of this study is to determine the current research priorities and findings in the field of chatbots in libraries. A systematic literature review was performed utilising the PRISMA checklist and the databases Scopus and Web of Science, identifying 5734 records. Upon conducting the first screening, abstract screening, full-text assessment, and quality assessments guided by the CASP appraisal checklist, 19 papers were deemed suitable for inclusion in the review. The results of the review indicate that the majority of the existing studies were empirical in nature (primarily adopting qualitative methods) and technology reviews with a focus on reviewing the implementation and maintenance, design, evaluation, characteristics, and application of chatbots. The chatbots of interest were mainly text-based and guided chatbots, with closed-source tools with access portals mostly built on library web pages or integrated with social software. The research findings primarily concerned the development models and necessary tools and technologies, the application of chatbots in libraries. Our systematic review also suggests that studies on chatbots in libraries are still in the early stages.

Methods and Results Report - Evidence and consensus-based (S3) Guidelines for the Treatment of Actinic Keratosis -International League of Dermatological Societies in cooperation with the European Dermatology Forum.

This paper aims to establish the current state of knowledge on collective creativity in management science based on a systematic literature review. A systematic review was performed based on the three-step SPL procedure proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003). Two databases (Scopus and Web of Science) were searched electronically until March 2022. Literature analysis and content analysis were performed based on the secondary data. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria following the systematic literature review procedure. The conducted descriptive and thematic analysis allowed establishing the state of knowledge in the analysed area and identifying the main thematic areas along with the future research directions. The research was the first to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on collective creativity in management science. The main contribution of this paper is its exclusive focus on analysing existing research in the collective creativity field, limited to management science. SLR allowed determining that research in the analysed area was still at a fairly early stage. Although the existing literature sheds some light on collective creativity, studies investigating the aspects of teamwork focused on problem-solving are required.

Greenhouse gases (GHG) emanating from agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) sector are among top contributors to anthropogenic climate change in Africa and globally. Minimizing AFOLU sector GHG emissions in Africa is notoriously hard because of difficulties in emission estimation, the disperse nature of AFOLU emissions, and the complex links between AFOLU activities and poverty reduction. Yet, there are very few systematic reviews dealing with decarbonization pathways for the AFOLU sector in Africa. This article explores the options for achieving deep decarbonization of AFOLU sector in Africa, through a systematic review. Using the method of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA Statement), 46 studies of interest were selected from the databases of Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Four sub-themes were identified from the critical review of the selected studies covering key decarbonization approaches used in AFOLU sector. The literature suggests that while forest management and reforestation reduction of GHG in animal production and climate-smart practices in agriculture hold great promises for AFOLU sector decarbonization in Africa, there appears to be very limited coherent policy in the continent addressing any of these AFOLU sub-sectors.

This systematic literature review aimed to discover how the concept of digital teaching competence (DTC) has been developed, how its dimensions have been defined, and how educational development models and models that evaluate teachers’ digital teaching competence have been constructed. Concurrently, this review aimed to draw conclusions on the implementation processes of digital teaching competence in order to uncover its strengths and limitations, and to propose future lines of research to develop it further in initial teacher training programmes. A systematic literature review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology was proposed in order to achieve these aims. We chose the time frame of 2015 to the end of 2021 in an attempt to cover the appearance of the first scientific articles dealing with the subject, up until the present day. Thus, the inclusion criteria covered scientific research articles from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, in English or Spanish, that focused on samples of teachers in primary education, secondary education, baccalaureates, and initial teacher training. The database searches, which will be detailed in depth later, initially provided a corpus of 127 articles, which was reduced to 26 articles after screening for duplicity and applying the inclusion criteria.
