Overview Of Relevant Publications Research Articles

A comprehensive bibliometric review of gamified learning in higher education

This article has crafted a detailed bibliometric review of gamified learning in higher education which provides the reader a broad scientific background and an overview of relevant publications and their up-to-date status in this growing domain. The study examines the spread of publications over the time, revealing a development of a dynamic curve from minor to peak in 2021, and then leveled-off of activity in the rest of the years. There is special focus on high-achieving authors and institutions that are praised by the work for their key contributions to the field of gamified learning research. The aspect of global geographical distribution of gamified learning studies in the literature is expounded. While the USA and Turkey rank first in this regard, they also head the discourse. The role of key journals and a citation analysis provide the evidence of the highly reputable and established place the gamified leaning has in higher education. This bibliometric review offers important information about the multifaceted aspects of gamified learning and subsequently may be used by future researchers to dig deeper and contribute to the literature.

Customer Orientation: A Literature Review Based on Bibliometric Analysis

Rooted in the concept of market orientation, the literature has long affirmed the importance of customer orientation to business success. While a number of literature reviews on customer orientation exist, there is still a need for a thorough investigation into the current status of customer orientation research. Using the bibliometric method and CiteSpace visual analysis tool, this study analyzes and summarizes the customer orientation literature from 2001 to 2020. By using the co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, burst detection, and time zone visualization, this paper provides an all-around intellectual structure of the customer orientation literature, for example, an overview of relevant publications, the distribution of journals, the authors’ and institutions’ contribution, the heated issues, core research theories, and future avenues of customer orientation research.

From Ecocriticism to Environmental Humanities: A Brief Overview of Publications in Spain

This review essay focuses on an overview of relevant publications regarding ecocriticism, and its corollary, the environmental humanities, with a specific focus on Spain, through three main publications: Ecocríticas. Literatura y medio ambiente (2010); Visiones ecocríticas del mar en la literatura (2016); and Humanidades ambientales: pensamiento, arte y relatos para el siglo de la gran prueba (2018). This essay also mentions other relevant volumes and monographic issues published in Spain in the last ten years. The purpose of this essay is to give the reader a general view of the work done within the fields of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities in Spain in the last decade.

Fetal Pain: The Science Behind Why It Is the Medical Standard of Care.

Despite pain as the fifth vital sign in adult and pediatric care, many still dismiss the fact that immature human beings (whether a fetus, a preterm, or term baby) are capable of being affected by pain. Studies have demonstrated that avoiding, minimizing, and treating pain in babies, particularly when premature, improves their outcomes. Informed by the evidence, treating neonatal pain has become the medical standard of care for physicians in neonatology and anesthesiology. This article provides a brief overview of relevant publications that explain the clinical evolution that has led to the treatment of neonatal pain. This article also examines three arguments against the existence of fetal pain and presents evidence that refutes them. Informed by the research, a revised definition of pain is offered.

Some Useful Sources

The following list provides a brief overview of relevant publications on parent abuse, together with links to some useful websites. Given the nature of parent abuse the publications come from a varied disciplinary background ranging from the therapeutic to social policy and criminological. Some look at the nature and incidence of parent abuse, some examine the experience and causes of it, while others suggest therapeutic interventions. See further the discussion by Holt, this volume.

Power system restoration — a bibliographical survey

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of major power system blackouts worldwide. As a consequence, interest in the investigation and development of new methods, tools, and models for power system restoration has grown considerably. This paper provides a bibliographical survey of the current state in research, development, and applications in power system restoration. The survey is subdivided into nine different sections, each section representing those subjects which are considered to be most relevant to that area. For each section a summary and an overview of relevant publications are given.

Impacts of fisheries on plankton community structure

There has been much debate on the extent to which resource availability (bottom-up) versus predation pressure from fish (top-down) modulates the dynamics of plankton in marine systems. Physico/chemical bottom-up forcing has been considered to be the main mechanism structuring marine ecosystems, although some field observations and empirical correlations support top-down modulation. Models have indicated possible feedback loops to the plankton and other studies have interpreted a grazing impact from long-term changes in fish stocks. In freshwater systems, evidence for top-down forcing by fish and trophic cascading is well documented. First, evidence for equivalent top-down effects in the marine environment is presented, with an overview of relevant publications. In the second part, time series, averaged for the North Sea (when possible from 1948 to 1997), of fish catch, recruitment, and spawning stock biomass are related to the abundance of species or larger groupings of zooplankton and phytoplankton from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey and selected environmental parameters. Preliminary analysis suggests that there is strong interaction between different fish species and the plankton and that the fishery, through top-down control, may at times be an important contributor to changes in the North Sea ecosystem.
