Hot Spots and Frontiers in Embroidery Research: A Visualization Analysis via CiteSpace Based on WOS Databases (2010−2022)

Embroidery and weaving techniques are part of the cultural heritage and are the fruit of human civilisation. With the improvement of the technical level of the embroidery machine manufacturing industry, the global embroidery Market in 2022 has reached 7.35 billion US dollars, growing by 10.18% year-on-year, making it an economic research field. In this paper, we used WOS databases to search core papers and CiteSpace, a knowledge graph analysis tool, to determine the current status and trends of research in embroidery from 2010 to 2022. Based on the screened articles, the number of publications, research authors and institutions, keyword co-occurrences, and changes in highlighted words were analyzed in this study. The results showed that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom are the leading researchers in embroidery. Chinese scholars have had an interdisciplinary trend recently and have begun to publish abroad actively. The results of these studies have provided an opportunity for scholars in the field of embroidery to study the cultural connotation and innovative design of embroidery. These results point out the direction for scholars in the field of embroidery research and innovation, identify the shortcomings of each in the current situation of research in China and overseas, find a sustainable path for the development of embroidery craft, and promote the exchange and mutual appreciation of civilizations.

The effect of cluster and firm heterogeneity on knowledge sourcing in an overseas R&D lab

ABSTRACT We discuss the effect of cluster and firm heterogeneity on knowledge sourcing in an overseas research and development (R&D) lab. Building on agglomeration economies, absorptive capacity view, and social capital theory, this paper proposes theories that explain certain conditions under which the enjoyment of benefits from the knowledge source can be maximised. This paper suggests that 1) the level of knowledge absorption from a region by an overseas R&D lab is likely to increase as the region contains more diverse technological profiles with a similar science base; 2) the level of knowledge absorption from a region by an overseas R&D lab is likely to increase as the lab enhances its technological capabilities; and 3) the level of knowledge absorption from a region by an overseas R&D lab is likely to increase as the lab becomes older in the cluster. We simultaneously suggest that cluster traits and firm heterogeneity influence the learning of overseas R&D labs. The consideration of both factors will provide a better understanding of knowledge spillover and its contribution to firms in the cluster.

This study is driven by the recognition of a lack of research on counseling interventions andpractices tailored to gender minority clients, despite the prevalence of such clients in real-lifecounseling settings. As a result, this study aims to explore and summarize studies on theoreticalcounseling approaches for gender minority clients based on overseas research. To achieve thisresearch goal, this study summarizes results of studies published in academic journals from 2012to 2022. Research on counseling interventions for gender minority clients can be broadlycategorized into two main groups: affirmative counseling and traditional counseling theoriesculturally adapted to gender minority clients. This study presents the specifics of interventionsbased on the classification of affirmative counseling and traditional counseling theories. Finally,implications for counseling for gender minority clients are provided.

A Study on Understanding Placeness and Immigrant-related Social Issues in Rural Areas and Determining the Overarching Characteristics

Background and objective: The influx of foreign workers has also increased in South Korea over the past 20 years due to the global labour movement between countries and the labour shortage caused by the aging of South Korea. In the case of rural areas, the youth age group was insufficient, and the aging population was more serious, so the dependence on foreign manpower was inevitably higher. In rural areas through the influx of foreign workers, spaces reflecting their culture are emerging. The purpose of this study is to provide implications for resolving issues of overseas migrants by analysing recent Korean and foreign research trends and characteristics of overseas migrants in rural areas, with a focus on placeness.Methods: To address the aim this study utilised bibliometric analysis employing visualization of similarities (VOS) viewer program for overseas research collected from Scopus document search and Netminer program for South Korea research drawn from Korean Citation Index (KCI) database.Results: This study determined that first, since the 2000s, there has been an increase in related overseas research. However, there were only 382 studies covering all of ‘place,’ ‘immigrant,’ and ‘rural,’ and the number was even lower in South Korea. Second, in research on overseas immigrants in rural areas based on place, community and health were identified as major issues. Third, the difference in research issues between overseas and South Korea was analysed by the degree of community and the approach to health issues. As a result, this study concluded that social inclusion should be addressed first through community and health issues.Conclusion: Through research characteristics related to ‘place’, ‘immigrant’ and ‘rural’ at home and abroad, the placeness of overseas immigrants in rural areas has brought up issues of community and health. However, more importantly, concluding remark is that social consensus on social inclusion should be prioritised to contextualise these issues.

Continuous Flow Experimental Study on Ozonation of Ibuprofen Catalyzed by Silicate-Based Microfiltration Membrane

In the treatment of drinking water, the ibuprofen (IBP) disinfection by-products, toxicity, and its impact on drinking water safety have caused widespread attention in domestic and overseas research areas. We studied the removal efficiency of IBP under the following conditions: combination of good catalytic activity of a silicate-based microfiltration membrane with the strong oxidizing ability of ozone in the continuous flow experiment mode and various influencing factors. This research revealed that with the increase of pH and hydraulic retention time, the removal efficiency of IBP exhibited an increasing trend; with the increase of alkalinity and humic acid concentration in water, the removal efficiency of IBP was obviously inhibited. Free radical inhibitors and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis demonstrated that hydroxyl radical (∙OH) is an important active species during the reaction of ozone-catalyzed IBP with the silicate-based microfiltration membrane.

Morphopedological Characteristics of Soils under Shea Trees in the Bouna Region of Northeast Côte d'Ivoire

The present study was initiated to characterize the soils of three (03) ecological zones of natural establishment of shea in the region of Boukani, in the north-east of Côte d'Ivoire. The study consisted of opening soil pits for morphological characterization following the approach of the Office of Scientific and Technical Research Overseas, based on in situ observation. Botanical data such as density per square meter, trunk diameter at 1.30 m from the ground and their spatial arrangement were also collected. The areas concerned are the villages of Gnarkèradouo, Assoum 2 and Nakélé. The results observed show a significant difference between sites. The shea park is denser in Gnarkèradouo (44.16%), followed by the Assoum 2 park with 38.32% of shea trees and finally the Nakélé site where 17.52% are observed. For the circumference of trees at 1.30 m from the ground, the results show that it is at Nakélé that large trees are observed with high values of 144 cm, then at Assoum 2 (126.2 cm) and finally at Gnarkèradouo with 114.8 cm.
 The characteristics of the soils show similarities on the 3 sites. These are gravelly soils with obstacles (indurations). However, the soil at Assoum 2 appears to be different because it is deep. The texture is sandy-clay on all three sites.

The Climate Crisis and Archaeological Practice in the Middle East and North Africa

The practice of archaeologists of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) urgently needs decarbonization in the context of a climate crisis disproportionately affecting this region’s people and cultural heritage. Academic conferences are both an invaluable forum for research exchange and networking and a carbon-intensive practice presenting barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This article summarizes a study by the authors and the ASOR Ad Hoc Climate Impact Committee on the carbon footprint of the American Society of Overseas Research Annual Meeting and potential strategies for making the meeting carbon neutral and accessible while retaining engagement. We find that the best strategies for significantly reducing the about 1266 t CO2e produced by the traditional meeting format are: (1) alternation of in-person and virtual meetings; (2) hybrid in-person and virtual meeting; (3) dual-component in-person/virtual meeting; or (4) distributed meeting with US and MENA hubs. Carefully vetted carbon offsets should be purchased for remaining emissions.

Performance Shortfall Scope and Emerging Economy enterprises’ Overseas R&D

ABSTRACT Based on the Behavioral Theory of the Firm and upper echelon theory, this study examines the impact of performance shortfall scope on emerging economy enterprises’ (EEEs) overseas research and development (R&D). First, this study suggests that the broader the performance shortfall scope is, the less likely EEEs are to implement overseas R&D. Moreover, this study suggests that top management team (TMT) tenure weakens the negative impact of performance shortfall scope on EEEs’ overseas R&D. Meanwhile, CEO duality enhances the above relationship. Based on the empirical data pertaining to Chinese listed manufacturing enterprises from 2003 to 2020, this study confirms the arguments put forward. This study is the first of its kind to examine the relationship between performance shortfall scope and EEEs’ overseas R&D.

Bi-directional epithelial-immune communication amplifies inflammasome activation and IL-6 release during SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract Increased levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 are linked to severe COVID-19. Here, we investigate the contributions of viral host cells, primary human airway epithelia (HAE), and immune bystanders, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), in the production of these cytokines. Despite having functional inflammasomes and supporting viral replication, HAE do not secrete IL-1β upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. PBMCs do not support productive viral replication, but the SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein primes inflammasomes through stimulation of TLR2. To activate inflammasomes in PBMCs, SARS-CoV-2-infected HAE provide a second signal in the form of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which includes mitochondrial and genomic DNA. Co-culture of PBMCs with infected epithelial cells stimulates IL-1β release, while addition of benzonase, STING, or caspase-1 inhibitors, but not NLRP3 inhibitors, abrogates this response. In turn, IL-1β stimulates IL-6 secretion from both populations with a robust response from HAE. Thus, while infection in either cell type in isolation does not yield IL-1β or IL-6, immune bystander detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the epithelium stimulates both IL-1β and IL-6 production, amplifying pro-inflammatory cytokine production through cell-cell communication. This circuit is reflected in patient data, as COVID-19 autopsy lungs show hallmarks of inflammasome priming and activation in myeloid populations lacking SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Meta-analysis of single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data reveals discordant, exacerbated priming of inflammasomes in myeloid cells from severe but not mild COVID-19 patients, indicating this circuit is intensified in severe disease.

Progress and Hotspots of Research on Land-Use Carbon Emissions: A Global Perspective

Carbon emissions from land use change are the leading causes of the greenhouse effect. Exploration of the progress and hotspots of research on land-use carbon emissions (LUCE) is crucial for mitigating global climate warming. However, a comprehensive and systematic review of LUCE research from a global perspective is still lacking. We used the WoS Core Collection Database to analyze the current status of research on LUCE from a global perspective with the aid of a bibliometrix tool, aiming to reveal research hotspots and future development trends. We found that (1) the process of LUCE research has gone through a nascent exploration stage (1992–2001), a problem-focused stage (2002–2011), and a prosperous development stage (2012–2022) under different policy orientations. European and North American countries prioritize LUCE research more than others. (2) Overseas research hotspots mainly focus on the climate effects of land-use change, the impact of deforestation and fire on carbon stocks, the impact of soil organic carbon stocks on climate change and biodiversity, and agricultural carbon emissions. Research hotspots in China mainly focus on the study of the influencing factors of land-use carbon emissions, the path to achieving the dual carbon goal, and the transition to a low carbon economy. (3) Research frontiers show that China mainly researches low-carbon land use intensification in the context of a “dual carbon” strategy; carbon emission reduction based on energy transition; and the multi-dimensional, dynamic, and accurate tracking and monitoring of land-use carbon emission systems using remote sensing satellite data. Other countries have shifted from measuring historical land-use carbon emissions, deforestation, degradation and fire carbon emissions to biomass combustion and global warming mitigation research. This study enhances the depth and breadth of LUCE research, which can provide a theoretical foundation and scientific reference for subsequent research on LUCE.

Health outcomes of children in state care in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This study aims to provide an overview of the association between being in the custody of the chief executive of Oranga Tamariki (the child welfare agency of the New Zealand (NZ) government) and all-cause hospitalisation and mortality. This was a national retrospective cohort study using linked administrative data from the Integrated Data Infrastructure. Data were obtained for all 0-17 year-olds living in NZ on 31 December 2013. In-care status was ascertained at this point. Outcomes of all-cause hospitalisation and all-cause mortality were assessed between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2018. Adjusted models incorporated age, sex, ethnicity, level of socioeconomic deprivation and rural/urban status. There were 4650 in-care children and 1 009 377 not-in-care children in NZ on 31 December 2013. Of those in care, 54% were male, 42% lived in the most deprived areas and 63% identified as Māori. Adjusted models showed that in-care children were 1.32 (95% CI 1.27-1.38) times more likely to be hospitalised than not-in-care children and 3.64 (95% CI 2.47-5.40) times more likely to die. This cohort study highlights that the care and protection system prior to 2018 was not preventing children in its care from experiencing severe adverse outcomes. Overseas research has previously been relied on when making practice and policy decisions around child care and protection in NZ, so this research will provide valuable insight into best practice in an NZ context.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the current status of peer supervision research by looking at overseas research trends related to peer supervision, and to seek implications for the vitalization of peer supervision research in Korea.
 Methods As a result of cross-searching for terms related to ‘peer supervision’ in academic databases and reviewing them three times, the final 160 articles were selected for study analysis. In this study, research trends were analyzed in four aspects: by year, by research method (quantitative, qualitative, mixed, literature), by operation (number of people, time), and research scene (education, health care, social welfare).
 Results First, when looking at each year, it was found that more than one study was conducted every year, except for some specific years from 1962 to 2021. When looking at the 10-year cycle, the rate of research in the 2010s was the highest (32.5%). Second, by research method, qualitative research conducted the most (41.9%), followed by literature research (28.1%), quantitative research (18.7%), and mixed research (11.3%). Third, by operation, studies targeting 3 to 9 people were the most common (37.4%), and studies that lasted more than 50 minutes to less than 90 minutes were found to be the most common (53.0%). Fourth, in the research scene, studies in the education field were found to be the most(38.1%), except for ‘Other’, where it is difficult to distinguish a specific field, and research in the health care and social welfare fields was also confirmed.
 Conclusions Overseas research on peer supervision is not being actively conducted even though it has been going steadily from the early 1960s to the present of 2021. The proportion of qualitative research was higher than quantitative research, and the study subjects consisted mainly of a small number of 10 or less. In the research scene, the educational field of elementary and secondary schools and universities was centered, and research was also conducted in various fields such as health medical, and social welfare.

Effection of tear film stability on orthokeratology

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is one of the effective methods to control the development of myopia in children and adolescents. The mechanical pressure of eyelids on the Ortho-K lens and the hydraulic effect of tears under the Ortho-K lens can alter the curvature or shape of the cornea, which can correct refractive error and control myopia development progress. The tear film is a thin layer of liquids evenly distributing in the conjunctival sac. Wearing an Ortho-K lens can decrease the tear film stability, which will influence the Ortho-K. In this article, the relevant domestic and overseas research results are summarized and analyzed, aiming to sort out and discuss the effection of tear film stability on the fitting, shaping, safety, and visual quality of the Ortho-K, as well as to provide suggestions for clinicians and researchers.

Research hotspots and trends of groundwater and ecology studies: Based on a bibliometric approach

Groundwater, as a critical component of the hydrological cycle, is essential for sustainable ecosystem development. To clarify the current status of domestic and overseas research, and to identify hotspots, frontier and future trends of groundwater and ecology research, this study utilizes bibliometric methods and CiteSpace software to examine relevant published articles in the Web of Science (WOS) and CNKI databases from 1978 to 2022. Specifically, this study analyzes (1) the annual number of published papers; (2) research institutions; (3) keywords; and (4) evolution of research hotspots. The findings reveal that the United States, China, and Germany are the top three countries in groundwater and ecology research. International research hotspots mainly focus on microbial ecology, climate change, groundwater-surface water interactions in the hyporheic zone, biodiversity, and submarine groundwater discharge, while domestic research hotspots mainly focus on ecological water conveyance, ecological flow, groundwater development and utilization, groundwater pollution, and groundwater and ecological protection. Both domestic and international research hotspots exhibit interdisciplinary features with diverse research objects and assessment methods. Future research in this area is expected to focus on topics such as contamination, groundwater quality, framework, mechanism, spatial distribution, and dissolved organic matter. Additionally, the study of ecological recharge, ecological flow, ecological protection, water intake and use will continue to be the hot topics domestically.
