A practical guide to the development and deployment of deep learning models for the orthopedic surgeon: part II.

Deep learning has the potential to be one of the most transformative technologies to impact orthopedic surgery. Substantial innovation in this area has occurred over the past 5years, but clinically meaningful advancements remain limited by a disconnect between clinical and technical experts. That is, it is likely that few orthopedic surgeons possess both the clinical knowledge necessary to identify orthopedic problems, and the technical knowledge needed to implement deep learning-based solutions. To maximize the utilization of rapidly advancing technologies derived from deep learning models, orthopedic surgeons should understand the steps needed to design, organize, implement, and evaluate a deep learning project and its workflow. Equipping surgeons with this knowledge is the objective of this three-part editorial review. Part I described the processes involved in defining the problem, team building, data acquisition, curation, labeling, and establishing the ground truth. Building on that, this review (Part II) provides guidance on pre-processing and augmenting the data, making use of open-source libraries/toolkits, and selecting the required hardware to implement the pipeline. Special considerations regarding model training and evaluation unique to deep learning models relative to "shallow" machine learning models are also reviewed. Finally, guidance pertaining to the clinical deployment of deep learning models in the real world is provided. As in Part I, the focus is on applications of deep learning for computer vision and imaging.

Why Are We Having Different Experiences? Reflections of the GSA Committee on Institutional Transformation and Social Justice

Why Are We Having Different Experiences?Reflections of the GSA Committee on Institutional Transformation and Social Justice Tiffany Florvil (bio), Alicia E. Ellis (bio), Damani Partridge (bio), Eli Rubin (bio), and Chunjie Zhang (bio) In March 2020, a new GSA committee was formed to address the issues of unequal and troubling experiences, particularly for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color at the German Studies Association conferences. While we started with the well-known moniker, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), as we began to think beyond inclusion into the existing framework, we requested that our name be changed to the Committee for Institutional Transformation and Social Justice (ITSJ). The new name, we believe, better expresses the needs and the aspirations that we think the GSA as a whole should have. As we began the discussion about changing both our name and mission, Irene Kacandes was chair and Venkat Mani was an active participant. Damani Partridge was on the executive board and came to the committee to discuss the broader critique of "diversity" and "inclusion," particularly in contexts in which these practices and terms did not lead toward institutional transformation.1 Venkat Mani completed his term on the committee in 2021 before the GSA meeting of 2021, and Irene Kacandes completed her term shortly thereafter. Chunjie Zhang subsequently joined the committee in addition to Damani Partridge. Most recently, after the 2022 GSA meeting, we have added a graduate student representative, Sascha Daniels. Since its inception, the committee has held monthly meetings and undertaken multiple actions, with a particular emphasis on the annual GSA conferences in 2021 and 2022. We are most grateful to the editor of German Studies Review, Katharina Gerstenberger, for generously providing us this opportunity to report our past and current work and to continue to expound upon our perspectives for the future. We also invite feedback and comments from the international readership in and outside [End Page 117] of the United States to enrich our work and make the GSA an even better and more creative community that affirms the principles supporting BIPOC, LGBTQI+, and disability scholars. From the start, the committee decided to become more than mere window dressing. We are deeply aware that institutional transformation and social justice cannot and should not only be the committee's responsibility; rather, these efforts demand broad attention and more extensive support from the entire membership. We are, of course, extremely grateful for the numerous invaluable suggestions that we have received from diverse members. It is clear that GSA members have good intentions and offer generous resources such as time and experience so that they, too, participate in change that addresses our overarching concerns, which we will discuss in greater detail below. The committee understands itself as a bridge between the membership at large and the GSA executive board. We will help to identify and move forward the most urgent issues and work to identify solutions and other modes of redress. As an example of our ongoing work, in May 2020, we drafted a letter to the entire GSA membership in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. We also discussed how to have productive collaborations with other scholarly organizations in addressing threats to international students. In 2021, the committee invested most of its energy toward holding a plenary at the GSA conference with the title "From Intent to Action: Inclusionary Practices for the GSA." We offered the plenary as a hybrid event, and are grateful to the GSA leadership, in particular Benita Blessing and Margaret Menninger, for working with us to address the technological challenges. After a short introduction and personal testimonies about issues concerning general participation and experiences of harm at the GSA expressed by some committee members, including Irene Kacandes, Alicia Ellis, Eli Rubin, and Tiffany Florvil, we broke into four groups, three remained online and one in person. While we did not conduct an official count, we estimate that over one hundred conference participants joined the plenary. In 2022, the committee helped draft two statements addressing the war in Ukraine and nationwide anti-trans legislation. At the 2022 GSA conference in Houston, the committee organized the roundtable, Whose Body? Whose State? to address issues of abortion...

Message from the Winner

It is my honor to receive the JDR Award for the Most Cited Paper 2022. I would sincerely like to thank the JDR editorial office, reviewers, and my co-author, Professor Yamazaki, for their support. The paper that received this honor was “Extraction of Collapsed Buildings in the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Using Multi-Temporal PALSAR-2 Data.” In this work, we proposed three change indices for evaluating the damage to buildings in Mashiki Town, Kumamoto Prefecture that were severely affected by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. The indices were calculated from two pre- and one co-event ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 images. The most valid factor was adopted by comparing the extracted results with the reference data from field surveys. The factor was then applied to larger affected areas of Kumamoto City and its surroundings. In this work, the ALOS-2 proved to very effective in recognizing damages caused by nature disasters. This work has been cited by 21 journal papers as of December 2022. I am grateful to the editorial board of the JDR for affording us the opportunity to have this work published. We hope our results in this paper will help even more scientific works. Encouraged by this award, we will continue to conduct future investigations to further disaster prevention and management.

My intended subjects were tables of food, glasses of wine, and fresh, steaming slices of bread against the backdrop of Bra, Italy, a small city where I had conducted fieldwork among students, activists, and producers associated with the Slow Food movement. I remembered Bra fondly—I had lived in the city for six months prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. I loved walking down the cobbled streets past businesses and restaurants with their warm interior lights casting out on the roadways in the winter evenings. I craved the persistent fumes of cigarette smoke and the clink of wine glasses when passing an enoteca. Even in the dead of winter, patio... You do not currently have access to this content.

Introduction

With the publication of this issue, 23-1, we are deeply honored to become the fifth editorial team for Global Environmental Politics. We are excited to keep building on the strong foundation laid by previous editors, including most recently Steven Bernstein, Matthew Hoffmann, and Erika Weinthal. As a result of the enduring commitments of all previous editorial teams—together with the high-quality research and writing by all authors published in these pages, and the often unseen but necessary and much appreciated work by countless reviewers over the past two decades—the journal’s impact factor reached 4.145 for 2021. A truly collective effort, Global Environmental Politics continues to be the premier academic home for research on issues related to global environmental politics and governance.Our many years of experience as associate editors of Global Environmental Politics have given us a head start on our new roles, but we are grateful that we have been able to rely on the support of Erika, Matt, and Steven, alongside the invaluable work by Susan Altman as managing editor, to smooth the transition. Joanna Lewis kindly agreed to stay on as an associate editor, and we are happy to have brought in Mark Axelrod, Kate Neville, and Yixian Sun as new associate editors. We also want to thank Beth DeSombre, who has given much time and service to the journal as the book review editor. Last but certainly not least, we greatly value the service and guidance of the GEP Editorial Board.Scholarship on global environmental politics has always benefited from the application of interdisciplinary perspectives using a multitude of methodological approaches, but the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion is increasingly recognized by researchers as well as policymakers, stakeholders, and activists. As editors, we will seek to further enhance the pluralism of articles published in Global Environmental Politics along multiple dimensions—including issue areas, geographical scope, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks—while maintaining a core focus on advancing theory through rigorous empirical work. This includes keeping up with new approaches to collecting and analyzing qualitative data as well as rapidly advancing trends in network analysis, statistics, and quantitative content analysis. To this end, we will continue to publish research notes, as instituted by Erika, Matt, and Steven. Alongside the research articles and forum articles, research notes bring new methods and datasets to the attention of readers and help broaden methodological horizons.Diversifying our pool of authors and readers remains a critical, albeit sometimes challenging, task for all of us who are involved in the editorial work. Important progress was made by our predecessors, but we believe that there is still room to continue to improve representation among our authors, our readership, and our editorial board. We are planning a number of activities to expand the geographical and disciplinary scope of the journal, including reaching out to scholars from all over the world to find out what they want from us. We will then use their feedback to develop programs intended to expand access and inclusion. This may involve a greater use of online tools and virtual events that can foster community building across long distances, as well as working with MIT Press with the goal of having more open-access articles.As quickly as scholarship is evolving, the world is changing faster. We are living in times that can be both exhilarating and frightening. Global Environmental Politics is deeply rooted in rigorous academic traditions, but there is room to foster new thinking and ideas. This is why we are also committed to mentoring junior scholars as well as scholars from under-represented groups, to ensure that they can successfully add their voices to our collective conversation by publishing in the journal. It is also why we value our many thoughtful and supportive reviewers for shepherding the work of early-career scholars through to publication and providing feedback that will help these scholars succeed with future submissions. It is a supportive scholarly community that allows Global Environmental Politics to thrive, and we are committed to maintaining that spirit of cooperation along with our standards of excellence for the journal.Finally, we would like to thank everyone for their tireless work in writing and reviewing during the worst of the global pandemic. We are committed to resuming outreach by the journal and working actively on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We remain open to new ways of working to the betterment of our community.

Editorial Review of 2022 and Changes to IEEE Transactions on Education for 2023

The IEEE Transactions on Education has seen a very busy year in 2022 going from strength to strength as it prepares to celebrate its 65th year in 2023. The August issue saw a special issue of the Transactions—Frontiers in Education (FIE) at 50. This collaboration with the IEEE FIE conference saw a selected group of “Work in Progress” papers invited to extend their work for publication. We are hoping to repeat this model with future FIE conferences. Overall, we have seen the number of manuscripts published increase to 71 in 2022 up from 53 in 2021. To meet this rise in demand, in 2023, IEEE Transactions on Education will increase to six issues per year (February/April/June/August/October/December) with around 750 pages in total published. This represents around a 50% increase since 2020.

Bibliometric analysis of Journal of Money Laundering Control: emerging trends and a way forward

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide a bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Money Laundering and Control (JMLC) from 2010 to 2021 and map its way forward.Design/methodology/approachA range of bibliometric techniques have been used to analyse the performance of JMLC from Volume 14 (Issue 1) to Volume 24 (Issue 4). The Scopus database has been used to analyse the documents of JMLC. A total of 294 documents are reviewed. The bibliographic data has been analysed using the software VOS viewer and R-studio (Biblioshine) to assess the trend of publications, word growth, keyword co-occurrence, citation analysis, most prolific authors and authors’ impact.FindingsJMLC’s academic contributions, influence and impact have grown progressively. The thematic structure of the journal has evolved into six bibliographic clusters, noted as prevention of corruption due to money laundering; compliance and regulation of money laundering; customer due diligence; role of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in the financial system of developing countries; control of terrorism and terrorist financing; and role of money laundering in the proceeds of crime.Research limitations/implicationsThe constraint of this endeavour largely arises from its selection of bibliographic data being confined to Scopus.Practical implicationsThe results of the study would help the current and future authors to understand the emerging themes in the field of money laundering and control. They are also going to help the editors of the journals of this domain to understand the emerging themes and how the published documents are going to contribute the society, throwing light on the controlling and compliance part of money laundering. Future research directions are provided in tackling the problem of money laundering, corruption, terrorism, crime, etc. with the help of financial intelligence, strong FATF all around the world, machine learning, Bitcoin exchange management and global knowledge management.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first objective assessment of the journal. Thus, the results of the study are useful to past and prospective authors, editorial board members, editors, readers and reviewers to gain a one-stop understanding of anti-money laundering actions through the contributions of JMLC.

How do editorial processes work in Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología? An article of dynamic questions

Open peer review Open peer review (OPR) is a scientific-article-quality-evaluating process carried out by experts on the area of the article, the identity of the reviewers being public. This means that both the author and the reader can see who have reviewed the paper as well as their comments and suggestions.(1,2) OPR provides more transparency in the peer review process as it allows authors and readers to see who have participated in the process and how they have influenced the paper. It can also help to avoid partiality and bias while reviewing.(1,2) Post-publication peer review Post-publication peer review (PPPR) is a scientific-article-quality-evaluating process carried out by experts on the area of the article after it has been published. Its goal is to guarantee that the scientific paper is both strict and high-quality and ethically and transparently carried out.(3,4) PPPR is carried out in a similar way to the peer review conducted prior to publication, in which experts evaluate and give their opinion about the quality and contribution to scientific knowledge of the respective manuscript. However, unlike the review prior to publication, the goal of PPPR is not to decide whether a paper should be published or not but to provide feedback and improvements to the already published paper.(3,4) Due to the above, PPPR has increasingly gained more relevance in the last years because of the need to guarantee quality and integrity of scientific knowledge. Previous editorial review makes it possible to evaluate some basic elements of the formal aspects of the article, the reality is that peer review is the one that makes it possible to guarantee the quality of publications (though it is not infallible). Since a rather large number of articles are published and then corrigenda or retractations are made for any reason, post-publication peer review leaves open the possibility of correcting and “reopening” the review process at any time as well as having as many review rounds as needed either close to the moment of sending or after its acceptation. This element is not possible in other kinds of review where, once the article is accepted, no further evaluations are made

Inaugural Editorial

It gives me great pleasure to write an editorial note for the first edition of the new journal of Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AIA). Before I begin, I would like to thank our Managing Editor, Mrs. Yu Zhang of Bon View Publishing, Singapore for approaching me with a great idea of launching a new journal under my leadership in the field of computer science. Therefore, I am honored and fortunate to be part of AIA and take responsibility as Editor-in-Chief. Since it is the first joint venture for us, initially, we struggled and worked hard to find innovative ways to reach potential authors such that AIA can receive quality papers across the globe. As a result, in a short period, AIA has attracted many quality submissions from different countries including developing and developed countries. Since the journal scope is AI related research, we encouraged the authors to emphasize emerging areas of artificial intelligence, such as image processing, security, augmented reality, data mining, machine learning, distributed computing and big data analysis, etc. The first issue includes high quality papers submitted from different countries in the areas mentioned above. However, in AIA, the acceptance rate is only 24%. We are determined to bring you a highly respected journal by setting our standard from the very first issue. We are happy to release the first issue in January 2023. For this achievement, we should thank our team led by Mrs. Yu Zhang, Ms. Phoebe, Ms. Lantian, Ms. Ruifang Zhang for their efforts, time, hard work and significant contributions. Today, we see the success because of their support and effort. To take any journal to a high level/standard in terms of quality papers according to the rules stipulated by the web of science, Scopus, the role of the International Advisors, Associate Editors, Editorial board members, Reviewers and Editorial staff of the journal is vital. In order to maintain the standards of AIA, we introduced desk reject by providing sufficient technical comments, which helped authors to improve the quality of their work. There were a number of challenges, including issues pertaining to reviews, such as delays in receiving review reports, poor reviews, finding relevant experts for reviewing and sufficient number of reviews. However, with the help of the tips provided by the members of the advisory board, our editorial office managed effectively in communicating with the authors, reviewers and Editor-in-Chief without any problems. What is very important for the journal is popularity, so it should reach as many potential readers as possible to achieve a global scientific exposure and impact. To achieve such goals, we need to explore new ways of dissemination and reaching authors, as well as readers. At the same time, our journal should find new ways to receive more quality papers on intra-and-inter-disciplinary areas. We believe if the topic is interesting and has scope for the future, it will show great motivation on submission and a loyal readership. I am fortunate to be part of a highly effective team led by Yu Zhang in the editorial office who is instrumental to achieving our targets. The current group of Associate Editors work incredibly well to assess paper quality and to maintain standards. The papers published by Bon View Publishing focus on special domains and publish our papers in time. In addition, our journal has good support from members of the international advisory board, which comprises pioneers in different areas of artificial intelligence. They serve like ambassadors for our journal. Last but not the least, I should thank all our contributors who chose our journal to publish their work. Furthermore, there were many authors that were disappointed due to rejection, but they should be happy with their achievements and the editorial board comments to improve their work.

Vegetation Classification and Survey in the third year

We report on the completed third volume of Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS). VCS has been included in the Scopus bibliometric database and will receive its first CiteSore in mid-2023. We announce the 2022 Editors’ Award for a paper selected from the four papers nominated for Editors’ Choice during 2022. We selected Liu et al. (2022; Vegetation Classification and Survey 3: 121–144) for the Editors’ Award. This author team developed a comprehensive hierarchical classification system for the steppe vegetation over China. We present five Special Collections (two concluded and three ongoing) which form a backbone for VCS. Apart from Research Papers, Long and Short Database Reports were the prevailing article category in 2022. By contrast, there were no VCS Methods paper in 2022, and thus we encourage submissions particularly in this category. Finally, we welcome new members to the Editorial Board and open a call for free applications for our Editorial Review Board or as a Linguistic Editor. Abbreviations: APC = article processing charge; IAVS = International Association for Vegetation Science; VCS = Vegetation Classification and Survey.
