Examinations of search interactions, experiences and communication in collaborative search

PurposeThis study aims to explore the characteristics of collaborative information searching by comparing the differences in search experience and interaction between collaborative search mode and individual search mode and by analyzing the communication content and patterns during collaborative searches.Design/methodology/approachA user experiment was conducted using the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF)-Social Book Search platform, recruiting 16 individual and 18 collaborative participants. Each of the participants was required to complete two types of book search tasks in a lab setting. Interactions with the system were logged, and participants' experiences were captured through pre/post-search questionnaires. Additionally, the communication among collaborative participants was recorded and coded.FindingsThis study identified characteristics of collaborative information searching in three aspects. (1) Search experience: collaborative searchers showed a higher appreciation for the system’s functionality and aesthetics and were more engaged than individual searchers, despite experiencing slightly more mental strain. (2) Search strategies: in focus tasks, collaborative searchers made more decisions than individual searchers, indicating a need for book sorting. In open tasks, collaborative searchers take longer before making decisions, likely due to a higher level of interest and participation. (3) Communication content and pattern: collaborative searchers mainly discussed understanding and judgment of books and task plan. Searchers with same cognitive style talked more about search operations than those with different cognitive styles, while less about book judgment. Three communication patterns were identified: understanding-judgment, judgment-dominant and balanced. Judgment-dominant participants generally reported higher satisfaction with their search results than those in the other two patterns.Originality/valueThis study enhances understanding of collaborative search by comparing it with individual search and analyzing communication content, potentially inspiring collaborative search system and experiment design. Additionally, the coding table for communication between collaborative searchers offers valuable insights for future research.

Selling Misleading "Cancer Cure" Books on Amazon: Systematic Search on Amazon.com and Thematic Analysis.

While the evidence base on web-based cancer misinformation continues to develop, relatively little is known about the extent of such information on the world's largest e-commerce website, Amazon. Multiple media reports indicate that Amazon may host on its platform questionable cancer-related products for sale, such as books on purported cancer cures. This context suggests an urgent need to evaluate Amazon.com for cancer misinformation. This study sought to (1) examine to what extent are misleading cancer cure books for sale on Amazon.com and (2) determine how cancer cure books on Amazon.com provide misleading cancer information. We searched "cancer cure" on Amazon.com and retrieved the top 1000 English-language book search results. We reviewed the books' descriptions and titles to determine whether the books provided misleading cancer cure or treatment information. We considered a book to be misleading if it suggested scientifically unsupported cancer treatment approaches to cure or meaningfully treat cancer. Among books coded as misleading, we conducted an inductive latent thematic analysis to determine the informational value the books sought to offer. Nearly half (494/1000, 49.4%) of the sampled "cancer cure" books for sale on Amazon.com appeared to contain misleading cancer treatment and cure information. Overall, 17 (51.5%) out of 33 Amazon.com results pages had 50% or more of the books coded as misleading. The first search result page had the highest percentage of misleading books (23/33, 69.7%). Misleading books (n=494) contained eight themes: (1) claims of efficacious cancer cure strategies (n=451, 91.3%), (2) oversimplifying cancer and cancer treatment (n=194, 39.3%), (3) falsely justifying ineffective treatments as science based (n=189, 38.3%), (4) discrediting conventional cancer treatments (n=169, 34.2%), (5) finding the true cause of cancer (n=133, 26.9%), (6) homogenizing cancer (n=132, 26.7%), (7) discovery of new cancer treatments (n=119, 24.1%), and (8) cancer cure suppression (n=82, 16.6%). The results demonstrate that misleading cancer cure books are for sale, visible, and prevalent on Amazon.com, with prominence in initial search hits. These misleading books for sale on Amazon can be conceived of as forming part of a wider, cross-platform, web-based information environment in which misleading cancer cures are often given prominence. Our results suggest that greater enforcement is needed from Amazon and that cancer-focused organizations should engage in preemptive misinformation debunking.

STRATEGI OPTIMALISASI LAYANAN DIFABEL PADA DINAS PERPUSTAKAAN DAN KEARSIPAN KOTA YOGYAKARTA

Disability services are an obligation mandated by Indonesian Constitution to ensure equal access to public services for all citizens without exception, including for citizens who have physical, mental, intellectual and sensory limitations (disabled). However, in practice, the provision of disability-friendly public services is still not optimal, in terms of utilization and provision of existing facilities. It is this urgency that directs research towards the aim of knowing the factors that cause less optimal services for people with disabilities to formulate effective strategies in order to optimize services. This research belongs to the type of qualitative research with descriptive analysis. The analytical tool used to formulate effective strategies is SOAR analysis. SOAR Analysis is a development of SWOT Analysis which focuses on leveraging organizational strengths and opportunities to realize aspirations and results that are explored together to present more optimistic strategies, rather than focusing on weaknesses and threats. It is very much suitable for the organizational form of government agencies; those prioritize public trust. The results of the study show that factors causing the non-optimal disability services in Office of Yogyakarta City Library and Archives are facilities and infrastructures, human resources (HR), and policies. The strategy for optimizing DPK Yogyakarta City disability services consists SA Strategy (operating disabled service attendants), SR Strategy (development of voice book search feature and voice archive search feature), OA Strategy (installation of induction loop system in service areas, providing wheelchairs, educational film collections with sign language, adding PCs, media transfer tools, talking books, and also replacing damaged mobile fleets to re-function mobile library for Special Needs Schools), and OR Strategy (organizing Applied Literacy activities involving disabled and launching archival search services and special archive restoration services for disabled in near future).

Restarting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV: a systematic review and meta-analysis

High coverage of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) will reduce HIV transmission and help end the HIV/AIDS pandemic. However, PrEP users face challenges, including long-term adherence. The study aimed to document the proportions of individuals who restart HIV PrEP after they stop and the reasons for restarting PrEP. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. We systematically searched CINAHL, Embase, Emcare, Global Health, Medline, Scopus, and PsychINFO for peer-reviewed with no date restrictions. A grey literature search was conducted through Google search, a search of abstract books of AIDS conferences and the websites of WHO and UNAIDS. The data search was conducted in April 2023 and updated in February 2024. Two authors extracted data on the proportion of people who stopped and then restarted PrEP, reasons for restarting, and strategies to support people restarting PrEP. Two authors appraised the data using the Joanna Briggs Institute Appraisal Tools. We used a random-effects meta-analysis to pool estimates of restarting. We conducted meta-regression to determine potential sources of heterogeneity. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42023416777. However, we deviated from our original plan as we did not identify enough studies for strategies to support restarting PrEP (primary objective). Subsequently, we revised our plan to strengthen our secondary objective to quantify the proportion of people who stopped and restarted PrEP, and explore possible reasons for its heterogeneity. Of 988 studies, 30 unique studieswere included: 27 reported the proportion restarting PrEP, and of these, 7 also reported reasons for restarting PrEP, and 3 studies reported only on the reasons for restarting PrEP. No study evaluated interventions for restarting PrEP. For the meta-analysis, we included 27 studies. Most studies were from high-income countries (17/27, 63%) or the USA (15/27, 56%). Overall, 23.8% (95% CI: 15.9-32.7, I2=99.8%, N=85,683) of people who stopped PrEP restarted PrEP. There was a lower proportion of restarting in studies from middle-income countries compared to high-income countries (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.6, 95% CI: 0.50-0.73, p<0.001). There was higher restarting in studies from Africa compared to the USA (aOR 1.55, 95% CI: 1.30-1.86), heterosexual populations compared to men who have sex with men or transgender women (aOR 1.50, 95% CI: 1.25-1.81, p<0.001) and in studies defining restarting as those who had stopped PrEP for >1 month compared to those who stopped <1 month (aOR 1.20, 95% CI: 1.06-1.36, p<0.001). Reasons for restarting PrEP included perceived higher risk for HIV acquisition and removal of barriers to access PrEP. In terms of quality assessment, overall, both randomised controlled trials had a low risk of bias, while the observational studies used in the meta-analysis had some potential risk of bias related to not explicitly addressing potential confounders (15/25, 60%) or not describing strategies to address incomplete follow-up (24/25, 96%). About a quarter of people who stopped PrEP would restart, with substantial variation across countries and populations. It is important to understand the motivations and contextual factors influencing restarting PrEP and the support systems to enable restarting PrEP for those at ongoing risk.

Pruebas Térmicas de Sensibilidad Pulpar en Dientes Permanentes con Pulpitis: Valor Diagnóstico y Limitaciones

Introduction: The diagnostic process in endodontics begins with the recognition of the symptoms, the dental history and the objective clinical evaluation, where thermal pulp sensitivity tests are essential in the clinical routine to have an approximation of the pulp condition. However, understanding the nature of the diagnostic tests, and the pulp pathophysiology, are essential to correctly interpret their results. Objective: To recognize the diagnostic value and limitations of thermal pulp sensitivity tests during the endodontic evaluation of the permanent tooth affected with pulpitis. Materials and Methods: The development of this narrative review was carried out through a search strategy in the electronic database, consultation in specialized web portals, and, in addition, required a search for valuable primary articles and books. Results: 34 publications were selected for their contribution and relevance. Conclusions: The sensitivity test using the cold stimulus appropriately results in a high correspondence to rule out a vital or necrotic pulp. This high correspondence is also maintained for reversible pulpitis, with a slight decrease for cases of irreversible pulpitis, although it continues to have a high diagnostic value. However, their main drawbacks continue to be that they are based on a qualitative response from the patient, loaded with subjectivity, and necessarily require experience and skill on the part of the clinician for their execution and interpretation.

Comparison of Vector Space Model and BM25F Methods in Book Search

Pencarian sebuah buku di perpustakaan dapat dilakukan secara mudah jika kita sudah mengetahui judul buku, pengarang, bidang ilmu atau pun penerbit dari buku tersebut sebagai kata kunci. Tanpa kata kunci, pencarian buku akan sulit dilakukan karena pencarian akan membutuhkan waktu dan kita akan mencari buku tersebut di antara ratusan bahkan ribuan buku yang ada meskipun sudah ada katalog atau basis data. Basis data buku yang ada di perpustakaan merupakan gudang data dan untuk memanfaatkan gudang data tersebut, maka dapat digunakan proses temu balik informasi atau information retrieval (IR). Proses temu balik informasi merupakan suatu cara untuk menemukan kembali informasi pada dokumen atau basis data. Terdapat beberapa metode dalam IR ini, seperti inverted index, boolean retrieval, tokenization, stemming and lemmatization, dictionaries, wildcard queries, BM25F dan vector space model (VSM). Penelitian ini telah membandingkan metode vector space model dan BM25F untuk mencari waktu akses tercepat dalam pencarian buku. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan data semu sebanyak 50 buku. Pengujian dilakukan sebanyak 20 kali terhadap 10 kata kunci yang berbeda dari 50 data buku yang ada. Berdasarkan pengujian yang telah dilakukan, metode Vector Space Model memiliki waktu pencarian yang lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan metode BM25F. Metode VSM menghasilkan rata-rata waktu pencarian 0,002 detik, sedangkan rata-rata waktu pencarian metode BM25F adalah 6,308 detik. Perbedaan waktu yang cukup besar dikarenakan metode MB25F mengharuskan pencarian kata kunci berdasarkan kategori yang ditentukan dulu, sedangkan metode VSM melakukan pencarian langsung kata kunci tanpa penentuan kategori.
