A Bibliometric Analysis of Metal‐Based Catalysts for Efficient Hydrogen Production

ABSTRACTThis study investigates global research trends on the catalytic performance of metal‐based catalysts for enhanced hydrogen production over the past 89 years (1935–2024) through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. The research addresses the evolution of metal‐based catalysts in hydrogen production and highlights the most prominent contributors and driving trends. The study analyzed 32,987 peer‐reviewed studies identified through Scopus database. The search was conducted from September 1, 1935, to July 20, 2024, utilizing keywords such as “(TITLE‐ABS‐KEY ((“Ru” OR “Ni” OR “Fe” OR “Co” OR “Mo” OR “Pt” OR “Pd” OR “Cr” OR “metal catalysts*”) AND (“hydrogen production*” OR “H2 production*” OR “hydrogen generation*” OR “H2 generation*”))).” The analysis covered various aspects, such as countries, authors’ affiliations, prominent journals, research areas, and key terms driving discussions in the field. It also noted that researchers with fewer publications may have been overlooked. Bibliometric parameters, including publication counts, citations, total link strength (TLS), and collaboration networks, were examined. Results indicate a steady rise in publications, with significant growth observed from 2000 onwards. The most recent period (2019–2024) alone accounted for 55.6% of the total publications, with a notable 26.5% growth from 2021 to 2022. China leads in both publication volume and TLS, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom. The International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (IJHE) emerged as the top journal with 4653 relevant articles. The analysis reveals a shift in focus from early studies on iron and platinum to a more recent emphasis on nickel‐based catalysts and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). These findings highlight several challenges, including the need to improve catalyst efficiency, address scalability issues, and develop more sustainable catalytic materials. Future research should focus on advancing catalyst design, optimizing reaction conditions, and enhancing catalytic stability for large‐scale hydrogen production.

An Oral Health Promotion Model Implemented in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County

Background and Objectives: Global research has shown that 60–90% of school children have caries, and that oral health care is of great public health significance. We present the data of an oral health promotion Program conducted in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County (PGC), Croatia, from 2008 to 2019. The Program includes comprehensive preventive oral status assessments of first- and fifth-grade elementary school students, as well as oral health promotional and preventative activities for preschool children, pregnant women, and new mothers. Here, we aimed to analyze the Program data and determine its applicability and sustainability. Materials and Methods: We assessed the changes in caries prevalence in first- and fifth-grade PGC students by comparing the 2008–2019 dental registry data on decayed, missing, and filled teeth for primary teeth (dmft)/decayed, missing, and filled teeth for permanent teeth (DMFT) index means. We also analyzed the data from the administrative Program reports. Results: We analyzed the dental registry data of 44,422 children in the PGC (21,714 first and 22,708 fifth grade). The average Program response rate was 83%. We noted a dmft/DMFT index decrease from 4.66 to 3.73 (first graders) and from 2.50 to 1.00 (fifth graders). The 2017–2019 dmft was significantly smaller than that of 2008–2009. There were 2336 workshops conducted in kindergartens, 1240 in first grades, and 1015 in fifth grades; health visitors educated 26,559 women. There was an increasing trend in the number of insured people under the age of six using pediatric oral health care. Conclusions: The Program improved the behavior and oral health of children and included various stakeholders, avoided additional financial expenses, increased the number of children in care, and proved its necessity and sustainability. It has been recognized on a national level and has led to the creation of two oral health care programs.

Risk of Postoperative Infection in Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients with Preoperative Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Colonization

Background/Objectives: While methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization is a known risk factor for surgical site infections, no definitive recommendations exist regarding preoperative S. aureus screening and decolonization protocols due to inconclusive evidence in Orthopedic Surgery. This study aimed to examine the correlation between preoperative MRSA colonization and postoperative infections in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Methods: Data from 2005 to 2023 were collected from TriNetX, a global health research network, reviewing 237,360 unique patients. TKA patients were assigned under Current Procedural Terminology, while International Statistical Classification of Diseases Codes were used to identify preoperative comorbidities and postoperative complications. Demographic and analytical statistics were compared between MRSA-positive and control groups before and after propensity matching. Results: The MRSA-positive group had a significantly (p < 0.001) higher proportion of patients over 65 years (47.17% vs. 38.46%), obesity (41.76% vs. 34.67%), smoking disorders (33.36% vs. 19.73%), and diabetes (25.06% vs. 19.85%) compared to the control group. Postoperative complications were significantly (p < 0.001) more frequent in the MRSA-positive group, specifically periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (4.11% vs. 0.79%, OR = 5.40), deep (0.12% vs. 0.01%, OR = 11.15) and superficial (0.37% vs. 0.09%, OR = 4.17) surgical site infections, and wound dehiscence (1.11% vs. 0.52%, OR = 2.13). The matched analysis confirmed significantly (p < 0.001) higher rates of PJI (4.39% vs. 1.18%, OR = 3.59). Conclusions: Our results illustrated preoperative colonization of MRSA as associated with an increased risk of wound-related complications. Surgeons and patients must consider preoperative MRSA colonization status when deciding if TKA is an optimal treatment option.

Prevalence and characteristics of gastrointestinal disorders, medication use, and diagnostic interventions in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis: a nested case–control analysis from the TriNetX EMR-derived global research network real-world dataset

BackgroundGastrointestinal (GI) disease in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is a growing concern in the era of improved lung disease; however, the true prevalence of GI diagnoses, medical therapies, and frequency of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in this population have yet to be explored on a multisystem scale. The aim of the present study was to describe, among pediatric patients with CF (PwCF) compared to a large cohort of healthy controls, the prevalence and types of 1) GI disorders; 2) GI medication use; and 3) GI procedural interventions. MethodsThis was a multicenter case-control analysis using the TriNetX electronic medical record (EMR) global anonymized data platform. Patients were included if they had an ICD9/10 diagnosis code and were between the age of zero to ≤ 21 years between January 1st, 2010, and January 1st, 2020. Those with a history of solid organ transplants were excluded.ResultsThe cohort was comprised of 7,649 patients with a diagnosis of CF (cases) and 22,516,240 patients without CF (controls). The prevalence of any GI disorder was greater in pediatric PwCF compared to those without CF (73% versus <1%). The prevalence of diseases of the biliary tract and pancreas (43% vs. <1%; p<.0001), hepatic disease (8.8% vs. <1%; p<.0001), disease of the esophagus to duodenum (34% vs. <1%; p<.0001), and intestinal disease (43% vs. <1%; p<.0001) were each significantly greater in PwCF (p<0.0001). Furthermore, the frequencies of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), colonoscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were significantly higher among PwCF than controls (9.5% vs. <1%; 2.8%% vs. <1%; and 0.3% vs <.001% respectively; p<0.0001 for all comparisons). ConclusionThe prevalence of GI diagnoses, use of GI medications, and frequency of GI procedures are all higher among pediatric patients PwCF. Prospective multicenter studies are warranted to substantiate these findings, further investigate risk factors for GI disorders, and to describe potential changes in GI disorders with novel CF disease-modifying therapies.

Talking down the competitors: How do investment banking relationships influence analysts' forecasts?

AbstractOur study reveals that financial analysts issue more pessimistic forecasts for their investment banking clients' competitors than for unrelated firms. Our evidence is consistent with this behavior stemming from analysts' strategic incentives rather than their true beliefs. We find that analysts' pessimism for the client's competitors is more pronounced when the client is more important to analysts' brokerage houses, when high uncertainty prevents competitors from detecting analysts' strategic motives, and when analysts' brokerage houses are less prestigious. Additionally, we explore the economic consequences of the pessimism from the perspectives of the covered firms, brokerage houses, and financial analysts. Finally, we consider the impact of the 2003 Global Analyst Research Settlement. Overall, our results demonstrate that issuing pessimistic forecasts for clients' competitors is an understudied channel through which analysts curry favor with their investment banking clients.

Investigating the research landscape of chlorinated paraffins over the past ten decades

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are classified as emerging persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Due to their associated environmental and health impacts, these groups of chemicals have been a subject of interest among researchers in the past decades. Here we used a scientometric approach to understand the research landscape of CPs using literature published in the Web of Science and Scopus database. RStudio and VOSviewer programs were employed as scientometric tools to analyze the publication trends in global CP-related research from 1916 to 2024. A total of 1,452 articles were published over this period, with a publication/author and co-author/publication ratio of 0.43 and 5.49, respectively. China ranked first in publication output (n = 556, 43.3%), and the highest total citations (n = 12,007), followed by Sweden (n = 90), Canada (n = 77), and Germany (n = 75). Publications from developing countries were limited, with most contributions from Africa originating from Egypt (n = 7), South Africa (n = 5), and Nigeria (n = 3), primarily through international collaborations. The average annual growth rate of 4.3% suggests a significant future article output. This scientometric analysis allowed us to infer global trends in CPs, identify tendencies and gaps, and contribute to future research. Despite having similar toxicity to short-chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP), long-chain chlorinated paraffin (LCCP) has received less attention. Therefore, future research should prioritize studying LCCP bioaccumulation and toxicity in diverse food webs, focusing on aquatic species vulnerable to CPs and effective toxicological models. Additionally, collaborative research with developing countries should be encouraged to enhance meeting the Stockholm Convention’s demand.

Optimization of international talent training program in biological and biomechanical field of Shaanxi universities by integrating Transformer-GRU model under the “Belt and Road” initiative

In the field of biology of Shaanxi universities, there are problems such as insufficient internationalization of course content, limited internationalization level of teachers, and difficulty in meeting the personalized needs of students’ foreign language ability. To this end, under the Belt and Road Initiative, this paper proposes an intelligent solution based on Transformer and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) models, aiming to improve the quality of international education in the field of biology of universities by optimizing course content and teaching methods. This study first uses the Transformer model to integrate and analyze a large number of international education resources, identify global cutting-edge knowledge and cross-cultural education elements in biology courses, including biomechanical principles that underpin biological functions and interactions. This provides scientific support for the optimization of course content. At the same time, the GRU model is used to dynamically analyze the progress of teachers’ international teaching and students’ learning feedback. Just as organisms can adjust their metabolic rate according to the changes in the environment, the model automatically adjusts the pace and difficulty of the subsequent teaching content according to the students’ speed of mastery and difficulties in understanding biomechanics knowledge, ensuring that each student can keep up with the pace of teaching. Additionally, the integration of biomechanical concepts into the curriculum helps students understand the mechanical properties and behaviors of biological systems, fostering interdisciplinary thinking and enhancing their global vision. Experimental results show that the students in Class A who adopt this research program are significantly better than the control Class B in terms of knowledge mastery, interdisciplinary thinking, and global vision (P < 0.05); after the experiment, the average foreign language ability score of the students in Class A is 7.04 points higher than that of Class B; the overall satisfaction of the students in Class A with the new teaching program is as high as 82.5%. This paper, based on the combination of Transformer and GRU models, can effectively promote the international talent training process of biology majors in Shaanxi universities, particularly by incorporating biomechanical insights, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of this major in global academic and scientific research cooperation.
