The IoT network can generate large amounts of data in a variety of formats and using different protocols which can be stored and processed in the cloud. The conference looks to address the issues surrounding IoT devices, their interconnectedness and services they may offer, including efficient, effective and secure analysis of the data IoT produces using machine learning and other advanced techniques, models and tools, and issues of security, privacy and trust that will emerge as IoT technologies mature and become part of our everyday lives.Big Data (BD) has core values of volume, velocity, variety and veracity. After collecting much data from IoT, BD can be jointly used with machine learning, AI, statistical and other advanced techniques, models and methods, which can create values for people and organizations adopting it, since forecasting, deep analysis and analytics can help identify weaknesses and make improvements based on different analysis. Maintaining a high level of security and privacy for data in IoT are crucial and we welcome recommendations, solutions, demonstrations and best practices for all forms of security and privacy for IoT and BD.Additionally, we also welcome Complex Information Systems, in different areas such as Informatics, Telecommunications, Computational Intelligence, Biology, Biomedical Engineering and Social Sciences. Information is pervasive in many areas of human activity – perhaps all – and complexity is a characteristic of current Exabyte-sized, highly connected and hyper dimensional, information systems. In this special issue, top authors from IoTBDS 2022 https://iotbds.scitevents.org/ and COMPLEXIS https://complexis.scitevents.org/ will be invited to contribute.

Letter from the Editors

Letter from the Editors Lisa Barg, Vanessa Blais-Tremblay, and Kimberly White We are honored and delighted to assume the editorship of Women & Music: A Journal of Gender and Culture. We are indebted to Emily Wilbourne for her inspiring leadership, work, and vision during her tenure as editor in chief, and we thank her for her expert guidance and consul over the past year. We also thank the selection committee, Suzanne G. Cusick, Olivia Bloechl, and Yun Emily Wang, for their encouragement and support. Our collective represents diversity in music research and language, as well as in professional and institutional affiliation, bringing together scholars working in traditional and nontraditional positions in Anglophone and Francophone academic spheres. As an editorial collective, we are committed to continuing the important critical and feminist work of the journal under the inspiring editorial leadership of Suzanne Cusick, Ellie Hisama, and Emily Wilbourne. We will prioritize inclusivity and diversity on all fronts. In addition to seeking out submissions on a wide variety of topics and across disciplinary and methodological perspectives, we strive to encourage and support early career scholars alongside established scholars. We also are excited to continue organizing special issues led by guest editors. The articles in this issue engage productively and imaginatively with themes of race, sexuality, and motherhood in a wide range of temporal and geographic fields. Francesca Inglese explores the role of women—particularly mothers—in klopse practices in post-apartheid Cape Town; Annie Kim considers how Camilla Williams used the disruptive potential of the phonograph to resound Black female subjectivity in her performance of Porgy and Bess; and Camille Rogers opens a conversation about comedy, sentimentality, and sexual violence in Così fan tutte. We are thrilled to be joined by Erin Johnson-Williams and Michelle Meinhart, who have coedited a partial special issue on sound studies and maternity. These [End Page vii] four articles delve into sound and birth during COVID-19; musical interventions in gestational labor; soundscapes of settler-colonial medicine; and stagings of maternal suffering on the operatic stage. Women & Music warmly welcomes innovative work, in both traditional and alternative formats and from diverse disciplinary perspectives, that focuses on gender and sexuality. We look forward to reading your submissions and thank you all in advance for considering Women & Music as a home for your work. [End Page viii] Copyright © 2022 Suzanne G. Cusick

Gender representation within editorial leadership positions of oral and maxillofacial journals

Females are under-represented in surgery, and in leadership roles within academia. The Royal College of Surgeons of England and British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) have both initiated programmes that aim to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion in gender representation. This article quantifies the gender representation among editorial boards of oral and maxillofacial journals, and further reinforces the fact that more work is needed to promote gender parity.

Representation of Women Physicians in Editorial Roles With in the Highest-impact Vascular Surgery Journals

In 2020, 28% (46/164) of newly board-certified vascular surgeons, and 29% (136/471) of vascular surgery residency applicants were women. Despite the increases in women in vascular surgery practice, most leadership positions in the field are still held by men. We evaluated the state of gender equity among editorial board membership and senior editorial leadership within the top 10 clinical journals in vascular surgery, as well as their corresponding companion journals.

Gender disparities among leadership in academic surgical publishing over the past decade

BackgroundWomen account for 19 % of practicing surgeons in the United States, with representation decreasing with higher academic rank. Less is known about the proportion of women in editorial leadership positions at surgical journals. The objective of this study was to examine gender representation among editorial leadership at high-impact surgical journals. MethodsThe five journals with the highest impact factors in general, cardiothoracic, plastics, otolaryngology, orthopedics, urology, vascular, and neurosurgery were identified. Data were abstracted on the proportion of women editors-in-chief (EIC) and editorial board members between 2010 and 2020 to determine how these demographics changed over time. ResultsMultiple fields had no women EIC over the past decade (orthopedics, urology, cardiothoracic, neurosurgery). In all other fields, women were a minority of EIC. In 2020, women made up 7.9 % of EIC and 11.1 % of editorial boards in surgical journals. ConclusionsWomen remain under-represented among leadership at high-impact surgical journals, with varying improvement over the past decade among different subspecialties.

Editorial diversity in medical education journals.

In recent years, the field of medical education has sought to amplify the voices of those from traditionally marginalised groups and medical education journals have sought to become more accessible and diverse. This study sought to examine the gender and geographical representation of editors and editorial board members in medical education journals. Information about individual editors and editorial board members of 10medical education journals was retrieved from their websites in January 2021, including their gender and the country in which they were based. Countries were categorised according to World Bank Income Classification and World Bank Geographical Regions. We then calculated the Composite Editorial Board Diversity Score for each journal. Of 488 editors and editorial board members, 283 (58.0%) were male, 452 (92.6%) were based in high-income countries and 322 (66.0%) were from the four countries with greatest representation (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada). The composition of medical education journals' editorial leadership teams remains dominated by males and those from higher income and Western countries. Strikingly, little change has taken place since this was last examined 17years ago despite the field becoming apparently more globalised. As medical education strives to become a more inclusive and diverse discipline, developing policies to create more globally representative editorial leadership teams should now be an urgent priority.

Where are the women and underrepresented minorities in medicine? Race/ethnicity and gender representation in oncology journals’ editorial boards.

11007 Background: The proportion of women & underrepresented groups in medicine (URM) in the field of hematology and oncology remains low, particularly in academic leadership positions. Editorial board appointments allow physicians to have a substantial impact on the nature of the published scholarly work and serve as a platform for academic opportunities. We aimed to assess gender and race/ethnicity representation in editorial board positions in hematology and oncology journals. Methods: Editorial leadership board members from 60 journals from oncology, hematology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology were reviewed, 54 journals were included in the analysis. Gender and race/ethnicity were determined based on publicly available data for editor-in-chief (EiC) and second-in-command (SiC) (including deputy, senior, or associate editors). Descriptive statistics and chi-squared were estimated. Results: A total of 793 editorial board members are included in the analysis. 72.6 % were men and 27.4 % were women. 71.3% of editorial leadership were non-Hispanic white with Asian editorial board members representing the second largest majority at 23.3%. The editorial position was significantly different among men and women (p = 0.038) with women filling only 15.9% (10/63) of the EiC positions. Of these 10 women, the racial breakdown was 90% white and 10% Asian. In the prevalence odds ratio (pOR), women were about half as likely to be in the EiC position compared with men [pOR: 0.47, 95%CI (0.23, 0.95, p = 0.03)]. Women represented 28.4% (207/730) of SiC editorial positions. White editors had the highest representation at 71.0% in the SiC editorial positions, followed by Asian editors at 16.0%. Notable differences were seen in gender proportions between journal specialties (p = 0.001); with surgical oncology and hematology having the lowest female representation at 11.9% and 22.7%, respectively. Conclusions: Women and UIM are markedly underrepresented in leadership roles on Editorial Boards in hematology and oncology journals. Importantly, the representation of minority women physicians in EiC positions is at an inexorable zero which is a sign of unconscious attitudes that may exclude women and minorities from certain positions. It is imperative that we work to move towards a more diverse and inclusive editorial board to ensure critical perspectives are heard and scientific discovery is fostered.[Table: see text]

Representation of women in sport sciences research, publications, and editorial leadership positions: are we moving forward?

ObjectivesWe determined the representation of women in sport sciences research leadership by assessing the proportion of women in (i) leading authorship positions of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2000 to September 2020 in sport sciences journals and (ii) editorial boards of these journals as of September 2020. DesignReview. MethodsWe searched PubMed for RCTs published from January 1, 2000, to September 1, 2020, in a representative sample of the top sport sciences journals and identified the sex of first and senior authors through photographs, sex pronouns, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, institutional, or other profiles. This strategy was also used to identify the sex of the editorial board members from the selected journals. ResultsA total of 4841 articles published in 14 journals, and 1418 editors, were analyzed. The average proportions of female first and senior authorship were 24.8% and 16.8%, respectively. The percentage of female first authorship increased by ~0.5% annually (β = 0.702; B = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.24 to 0.68, p < 0.001) from 2000 to 2020, while the percentage of female senior authorship did not change over time (β = 0.274; B = 0.15, 95% CI = −0.102 to 0.398, p = 0.230). Among the editorial boards' positions, 19.7% were occupied by women. None of the editors-in-chief of the selected journals were women. ConclusionsWomen are markedly underrepresented in leading authorship and editorial board positions in sport sciences, despite a ~0.5% annual increase in female first authorship in the past two decades. The mechanisms underlying these findings and the actions needed to reduce potential gender inequalities warrant further research.

Changing the Conversation on the Science–Practice Gap: An Adherence-Based Approach

The science–practice gap has been recognized as a grand challenge for management scholars in the 21st century. Despite the generation of a considerable amount of knowledge, which is clearly relevant to practice, the science–practice gap continues to persist. We challenge past notions that areas of management have not sufficiently developed to be prescriptive. The Editorial leadership of the Journal of Management commissioned our team to change the conversation on the science–practice gap by changing the question to one which focuses on adherence. We introduce an adherence-based framework from the medical literature to advance the conversation on the science–practice gap in management. This includes a rubric that identifies five criteria to evaluate the prescriptive readiness of research (theoretical grounding, rigor, relevance, practical recommendations, and communication) that produce five levels of research advancement (exploratory, preliminary, option, guidelines, and standards). We identify how scholars and practitioners can overcome structural, social, and psychological barriers to adherence (make recommendations possible, easy, normative, rewarding, and sometimes required). While the science–practice gap may remain a persistent concern, an adherence-based approach can serve to change the nature of the conversation in order to reduce the gap in many areas of management.

Dreams, Healing, and Listening to Learn: Educational Movements in the Everyday

ABSTRACT In this article, co-authors Eagle Shield, Munson, and San Pedro connect with and extend the new vision and direction as guided by Equity & Excellence in Education’s new editorial leadership. They do so by first historically framing the distinct differences between assimilative schooling systems and community-based educational resurgence efforts, and then centering Indigenous Knowledges in their stories of resistance and vitalizing efforts with their communities. Relying on collaborative storying whereby conversations are dialogic and reciprocal, the co-authors emphasize personal experiences of the ways educational movements are enacted in their everyday circumstances. Particular emphasis is placed on the way broad movements such as Black Lives Matter and Water is Life are connected to local community-based reforms. Eagle Shield emphasizes the lessons she learned while opening and directing the Mní Wičhóni Nakíčižiŋ Owáyawa (Defenders of the Water School) during the Standing Rock Movement and how those lessons and dreams are continuing to be realized beyond the movement space. Munson details the ways she has been guided by tribal leadership to expand a teacher education program that emphasizes both language vitalization and the centering of tribal knowledges. Listening closely and carefully, San Pedro shares the ways their lessons connect to, extend, and support pedagogical theories and scholarship that forward BIPOC-centered and justice-driven movements. Their stories address the article’s central question: What does education look like when it is supported and directed by the dreams, hopes, and aspirations of community leadership?
