Up and down the Ivory Tower

The ‘Ivory Tower’ is a metaphor often used to describe an elitist and self-sufficient research culture, which is relatively indifferent to whether research is useful for the society or whether the society is aware of such research and its results. Outside the tower, in contrast, citizen science is carried out, presentations are given at community centres, interviews are given to journalists, exhibitions held, popular science articles written, all to make research understandable and digestible outside the tower. Over the past 50 years, scientists have alternately been chased up and down from the socalled Ivory Tower.On the one hand, the current New Public Management paradigm demands measurable results from the universities, such that can easily be reported to the funders. The easiest way to meet this demand is to rely on a single-track publication strategy focused on publishing research results in international peer-reviewed journals.On the other hand, university laws, journalists, the general population, politicians, and a large group of socially committed researchers regularly argue that other activities held below the tower should also count and adorn researcher’s CV.The good news is that on 8 July 2022, an agreement has been finalised to reform current methods for assessing researchers and research quality. The initiative comes from the EU Commission, and the process has been short and effective. If the agreement is adopted, it could bring about a different, flexible, and multi-pronged publishing system that encourages researchers to publish on many alternative platforms and as such that they may inhabit and populate the area below the ivory tower and all its floors.

Science Communication Workshop

Among many other things, the COVID -19 pandemics taught the world the importance of providing rational information to the public and fostering a scientific way of thinking among people. Therefore, communicating science is crucial if we want the public to understand the basics of science so they would be able to make informed decisions about crucial topics such as their health, or changes in the environment. Furthermore, resarchers need funding to conduct their research. Most research is funded by the government, by the EU programs, and rarely by private funders. In all of these cases, you are required to report your findings to the funders. In all these examples, your funders are part of the general public, part of a broader audience.As a researcher, you are an expert in your field of research, and you can easily communicate with your colleagues about your research and findings. You already know how to write a journal article that your colleagues can read and understand, and you are able to write a popular science article that can be understood by a researcher who is not in your field. But, could you explain your research to an 11-yearold student? How about a potential funder? Would a science reporter or a television host find your research worth presenting to a broader audience? 
 It does not matter whether a researcher is at the beginning of his or her career as a doctoral student or whether he or she is an experienced scientist with a long scientific career. For any researcher, communicating his or her research to a wider audience that is not part of the scientific community or familiar with his or her field can be a challenge.In this workshop, participants will get practical advice on how to make the most of available communication tools and opportunities to successfully engage with their audience. In doing so, they will use the media as one of the most important channels and focus on how to get the most out of their TV interview. For this purpose, we will simulate a TV interview and put the tips and tricks taught into practice.

Editorial

Kate Harding As autumn draws in, my thoughts turn to cool nights (welcome relief from the extreme heat of the summer), and rainy days (for which my garden will be grateful). With the changing of the seasons my time as Editor-in-Chief of TOG is drawing to an end. I will be formally stepping down in April 2023 but am delighted to introduce Jo Morrison as the Editor-in-Chief-Elect. Jo is a Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist in Taunton and Coordinating Editor for Cochrane Gynaecological, Neuro-oncology and Orphan Cancers. Jo has been a member of the TOG Editorial Board for a number of years and more recently my deputy Editor-in-Chief. You will have read her articles and seen her previous editorials in TOG. I have great delight in handing over to someone so well suited to take on the role of Editor-in-Chief. I wish her well for the future and will take this opportunity to thank the Editorial Board (past and present) and the management team for all the work they do and the support they have given me over the last 5 years. TOG remains both an excellent source of information and informative reviews, and a step into publishing (with all reviews in this edition having a trainee as a first author). Data from our publishers demonstrates the continuing popularity of the journal with tens of thousands of downloads for some of our most popular articles (5–10 000 on average). I am confident that TOG can remain popular, relevant, informative and useful for years to come. We have, as always, an eclectic mix of articles in this edition of the journal with, I hope, something for everyone. We can learn to improve how we deliver services and improve care from a multitude of sources. Bach et al. start their article on datasets with a quote from a business journal: “Data driven companies are 10% more productive”. Using examples from urogynaecology they explore making data part of everyday practice. While I may be able to answer a casual question from a friend on postmenopausal estrogen therapy, I would have had little or no information to share on androgen therapy, until now. Vigneswaran and Hamoda have added to my level of knowledge with their article on androgens in postmenopausal women. This article is linked to an infographic which I hope will aid dissemination of this paper. Raperport et al. have tackled the tricky area of gamete donation. They cover both the purely medical aspects of indications and techniques as well as some of the legal and ethical points (primarily from a UK standpoint). To complete the paper, they have considered some of the psychological support families need both during and after pregnancy. I hope this paper will be of interest to our readers, particularly those who may not often have to consider these issues. While becoming pregnant is the focus of the previous paper discussed, Chester et al. have written an excellent article on recurrent pregnancy loss. In it they discuss not only the potential causes and appropriate investigations but also the problem of changing definitions and how to support the women without over investigating. This article will be of particular use for colleagues in general practice to help them navigate investigation and referral of couples for whom each and every loss is devastating. Rafi et al. have introduced me to a new concept: endometriosis is not only associated with reduced fertility – an idea we were all taught back in medical school – but may also be associated with poor pregnancy outcome. This is not an easy area to study, with many confounding factors (e.g. maternal age, previous uterine procedures and assisted conception) all independently associated with placenta praevia, preterm delivery and gestational diabetes. I recommend reading and considering these factors when counselling women prior to and in early pregnancy. I am very grateful to Braden, Tang and Yoong for their ‘Spotlight on…’ highlighting the many and varied articles in TOG on clinical governance. Sekar et al. have written an important article on understanding the authority gradient, reminding us that while teaching of the importance and safety of speaking up is imperative, if no one is listening the message will not be heard. I will end this editorial with a quote from Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, reminding us, “Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom and we must always be ready to listen and respect other points of view”.

Characteristics and Trends of the Most Cited Arthroplasty Articles in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) is one of most influential orthopaedic journals, with Total Joint Replacements (TJR) being a frequent topic. The importance of TJR research parallels it's high prevalence in American society. To compile and analyze the top 50 most frequently cited articles published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery regarding total joint reconstruction or arthroplasty. Guidelines set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews were used as the foundation for data collection and analysis. Scopus database was used to acquire the metric analyzed in the study. Data was then exported to an excel sheet for analysis.

JBJS's top cited publications hail largely from major institutions in the United States and are composed of high-quality reports of mostly Level 2 and Level 3 evidence classifications. 3.

Exploring the Applicability of Topic Modeling in SARS-CoV-2 Literature and Impact on Agriculture

For the last two years, countries around the globe have been suff ering and severely aff ected by the Covid-19 pandemic due to the novel coronavirus. Researchers from various disciplines are conducting research and publishing number of articles related to this virus and its eff ects. Furthermore, articles related to Covid-19 are being continuously published in the form of research papers, popular articles, blogs, surveys, short stories etc. These possess useful information and this information can be processed to infer important knowledge by applying text mining techniques. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) technique provides an effi cient way to analyse unclassifi ed text into useful sets of terms, called topics. LDA can group terms with similar semantic meaning into topics called "themes". A theme is a group of terms that frequently appear together. The objective of the present study is to explore the applicability of topic modeling in identifying the hidden themes or topics by using published research articles related to Covid-19 and agriculture through Google scholar. After pre-processing of titles and abstracts, two approaches namely LDA with Bag of Words (LDAB) and LDA with Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (LDAT) were applied to fi nd the hidden themes. There are thirteen and seven topics are identifi ed by applying LDAB and LDAT respectively. These identifi ed topics comprised with diff erent set of words or features will play an important role in developing the information retrieval system for specifi c search related to agricultural production, supply chain mechanism in agriculture, health and agri-tourism.

Understanding customer engagement in family firms: A conceptual framework

The customer engagement (CE) concept has been presented to encourage active customer contribution to the firm that can add value to both firms and customers. While this concept is now part of a rich body of knowledge in the marketing strategy literature, research in the family business stream has not paid attention to it. Building on the CE concept, while integrating the familiness concept from the family business research, we advance a conceptual framework to establish CE in family firms. This study uses a methodological triangulation approach (i.e., a combination of literature review, popular press articles, and managerial insights from interviews) as the study approach to develop the framework. Using grounded theory to analyze the data collected through the triangulation approach, this study identifies the relevant factors that are used in the framework. Specifically, we propose that firm-related factors (i.e., adaptive marketing capabilities, and regenerative capability) employed by the family firm can lead to the creation of a positive family firm experience, a new concept we introduce in this study. Particularly, we propose that the firm-related factors have a diminishing positive effect on the family firm experience. We also identify moderators (i.e., vision disharmony, role overlap, and ethnicity) that influence the diminishing positive relationship between firm-related factors and family firm experience. Further, we also propose that the spillover in family firm conflict moderates the influence of family firm experience on satisfaction and emotional attachment, ultimately leading to CE. Based on this framework, we advance research propositions that discuss the creation of positive family firm experiences and identify areas for future research.

283 Trauma Team Activation Fees Vary Widely Based on Region and Hospital Type

Trauma centers must be readily equipped to handle a variety of life-threatening injuries. As such, they charge a fee for the activation of their trauma team. Some popular media articles have pointed out that some trauma centers charge very high fees for trauma team activation, but a formal analysis of trauma activation fees has never been performed. We thus sought to determine the trauma team activation fees for all trauma centers in the United States, and to explore the relationship between these fees and hospital characteristics.

PELATIHAN PENULISAN ARTIKEL POPULER UNTUK MENUNJANG KENAIKAN PANGKAT BAGI GURU DI SMAN 4 BANDAR LAMPUNG

Popular scientific work is often interpreted as a written work made based on a scientific rule with the aim that all discussions can be understood by various general groups or not only academics. There are so many benefits that can be felt by teachers from writing popular articles, by writing popular articles the teacher can share knowledge with anyone through his writings, can motivate students. And to take care of promotions for teachers, one of them is promotion. The promotion for teachers is one way to improve achievement and ensure welfare. one of the elements of promotion of teachers from certain groups to a higher class one of the supporters is to make written works published in mass media such as newspapers, magazines, or online media on official websites. According to data released by Kompas, the number of teachers in Indonesia currently reaches 2,698,103. Unfortunately, of the number of teachers who are able to produce a written work is very minimal. This can be proven by the number of written works published by the teacher. This problem is also experienced by SMKN 4 Bandar Lampung, teachers who do not teach Indonesian still find it difficult and confused to determine ideas from popular scientific articles. Based on the partner problems above, our team agreed to provide solutions to partner problems, namely by providing opinion writing training especially for teachers at SMKN 4 Bandar Lampung. At the time of training, teachers are asked to think of ideas that will be used as popular scientific works and to jointly correct the results of scientific writings from each teacher.

Time heals all wounds? HRM and bereavement in the workplace

Over the past two years, there have been many popular press articles about grief in the workplace. Despite this recent COVID-19-related attention, bereavement (i.e., the reaction to a loss by death) has always been a universal human experience. The intention of this short concept statement is to bring attention to and spur HRM research efforts on bereavement in the workplace. Part of the challenge in dealing with bereavement is the empathy-efficiency paradox – the perception that workplace goals often conflict with the needs of bereaved employees. After providing an overview of bereavement, I explain how this potential paradox can make bereavement more difficult – not only for bereaved employees, but for managers and coworkers as well – with formal policies and practices unintentionally disenfranchising grief. I also suggest some ways to address this perceived paradox. Subsequently, several generative research directions are suggested. Given the large role that HRM plays in making the workplace more humane, bereavement seems like a topic worthy of our research attention.

Ask the Doctor: Mental Hygiene Among the Young in Fin-de-Siècle Finland.

The turn of the twentieth century in Finland saw an increasing number of popular articles and books on health, which were published within the broader framework of 'social hygiene' and aimed at children, young people and their families. This article examines how young people articulated concerns about their own mental health in the context of these campaigns to improve social hygiene. Based on an extensive body of original sources consisting of medical advisory material and letters written by the young, the study reveals how young people saw themselves in this health context-especially when writing about their 'nerves' or 'nervousness'. Drawing on more recent methodological investigations in the history of childhood, this study adds the much-needed perspective of the young people themselves as subjects experiencing these problems, to counterbalance the otherwise exclusively expert discourses on the subject of mental hygiene.

Juda Kreisler (1904–1940s?): A Bio-Bibliographical Sketch of a Lviv Physicist and a Popularizer of Science

We present a detailed biographical account and analysis of works of Juda Kreisler (1904–1940s?), a theoretical physicist from Lviv. He was born in Tlumach (Ukrainian: Тлумач, Polish: Tłumacz, Yiddish: טאלמיטש ), nowadays a town in Ivano-Frankivsk oblast in the western part of Ukraine. In 1923, Juda Kreisler finished a gymnasium in Stanislaviv and entered the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Lviv (Wydział Filozoficzny Uniwersytetu Jana Kazimierza [UJK] we Lwowie) in order to study physics. In 1932, he was promoted to the doctoral degree in physics under the supervision of Professor Stanisław Loria. For a short period in the 1930s, Juda Kreisler worked at the Department for Theoretical Physics of the University of Lviv, and returned to the University in 1940, after the Soviets had reorganized it upon taking over Lviv in September 1939. His fate remains unknown: he is listed among murdered by Nazis Jewish employees of the University of Lviv in 1941–43. Dr. Kreisler authored four scientific papers and four abstracts of conference presentations delivered at the Congresses of Polish Physicists in 1932–36. There is, however, another field, where he was extremely prolific in the late 1930s. We have discovered 122 of his popular articles in “Chwila” (English: “Moment”), a local daily newspaper published by the Jewish community in Lviv during 1919–39. These articles covered various subjects, that can be tentatively divided into the following major topics: chronicles and personalia; history of science; discoveries, new studies and inventions; the applied value of science (for medicine and economy in particular); interconnection between science and war; organization of scientific life; Hitler’s Germany and the problem of so-called ‘Aryan science’. While various branches of physics formed the largest part within disciplines reflected in Juda Kreisler’s articles, he also discussed biology, chemistry, meteorology, and geology. The latter field is closely related to his professional career at Lviv’s Geophysical Institute of “Pionier”, a joint-stock company for the exploration and exploitation of bituminous materials, where he spent nine months in 1936.

From the Learning Outcomes worth with the average N-gain of the Pretest experimental class is 66.67and Postest is 76.70, then the control class the pretest value is 44.09 and the postest is 56.73.Based on the hypothesis test results, namely Asmp.sig (2-tailed) worth 0.000<0.050 then Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected has significant changes. The application to the popular article media-assisted PBL learning model is very good, as this can be expressed by the average score of the first meeting obtained with a value of 3.33 and the second meeting obtained worth 3.34. . Based on the results of the research obtained, it can be categorized by the application of the PBL learning model assisted by popular article media, it is considered quite good for the science literacy of students of respiratory system material class VIII SMPN 7 Palangkaraya.

Implementation of Environment-Friendly Strategies for Energy Conservation and Mitigation of Climate Change – A Holistic Approach in Mangalagangotri Campus

The harnessing of renewable energies and mitigation of climate change are like two faces of a coin. Decentralized implementation and individual-level practices of eco-friendly strategies contribute a lot on a global scale. In this context, Mangalore University on its headquarters Mangalagangotri campus, adopted and implemented many eco-friendly activities, technologies, and policies for sustainable development. Installation of solar power panels for electricity generation, of the current estimated value of 23,13,311 kWh/month; replacement of incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs with an energy saving of around 62% and procurement of most energy-efficient electronic & electrical appliances (47%) are some of the technologies that have been implemented for energy conservation. Implementation of e-Governance and e-Office program of Govt of Karnataka, and campus management system, social media, and email-based official communications have significantly reduced the usage of papers (>70% ); a complete ban on single-use plastics; recycling of organic wastes through vermicomposting, pot-composting, biogas production; encouraging electric vehicles are some of the adopted strategies. Altogether these strategies have significantly reduced the release of greenhouse gases in and around the campus in our efforts to join with global efforts to drop carbon footprint below 2 tons by 2050. The rainwater harvesting through the rooftop catchments and check-dams contributed to ≈ 50% water conservation. The campus comprises 32.4% of its total area with natural vegetation (463192 m2) and currently with 30.8% planted vegetation (439670 m2) of the total area (1428540 m2). The campus biodiversity was further enriched by periodical tree plantation drives with special reference to the planting of fruit-yielding saplings. As an Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR), the university has been making efforts to disseminate the knowledge of eco-friendly practices, by conducting public awareness programs and publishing popular articles in regional language. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and government-imposed lockdown to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, the University has continued eco-friendly activities and setting up of infrastructures, by strictly following safety guidelines. Overall, our continued holistic approaches of various eco-friendly strategies, in terms of the utility of advanced technologies, eGovernance, solar energy, and rainwater harvesting, organic wastes management, recycling of solid wastes, and many others, have been implemented since its inception have significantly helped in saving energy and reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases.Keyword: Climate change; Eco-friendly strategies; Carbon footprint; Greenhouse gases

Multi-label Convolution Neural Network for Personalized News Recommendation based on Social Media Mining

Prediction of user’s multi label interests and recommending the users interest based popular news articles through mining the social media are difficult task in Hybrid News Recommendation System (HYPNRS). To overcome this issue, this study proposes a deep learning approach - Multi-label Convolution Neural Network for predicting users' diversified interest in 15 labels using the binary relevance method. Based on labels of user’s interest, the most popular news articles are determined and their labels were clustered by mining social media feeds Facebook and Twitter along with current trends. The reliability of retrieved popular news articles also verified for recommendation. Eventually, the latest news articles catered from news feeds integrated along popular news articles and current trends together provide a recommendation list with respect to user interest. Experimental results show the proposed method diversified users interest labels prediction performance improved 5.87%, 12.09%, and 18.49% with the following state of art Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree and Naïve Bayes. The recommendation performance concerning users’ interest achieved 90%, 93.3%, 90% with social media feeds Facebook, Twitter and News Feeds accordingly.

Пандемия новой коронавирусной инфекции в разных странах мира: некоторые уроки борьбы с COVID-19

The aim of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of COVID-19 epidemic process in selected countries of the world during the first pandemic wave in 2020 and during the rise of SARS-CoV2 variant Omicron. Materials and research methods. Analysis of the COVID-19 epidemic process was based on data from the Wordometers website (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries). In addition, scientific and popular science articles and official documents on the history, epidemiology, and response to the pandemic in different countries of the world in 2020-2022 were analyzed. The authors’ own observations were also used. Results of the study and their analysis. Restrictive measures adopted in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), mass screening of the population, observation of those arriving in the country and hospitalization of all those infected made it possible to virtually reduce the circulation of the virus to zero. In the Russian Federation, timely simultaneous epidemic control measures throughout the country resulted in a significant decline in the intensity of the epidemic, both early in the pandemic and after local Omicron transmission, and prevented explosive growth of cases. In the USA, Italy and Sweden, untimely or lenient restrictive measures and low testing during selected periods of the pandemic led to an avalanche of cases and deaths. Thus the epidemic process of COVID1-9 in the analysed countries depended on the timeliness, duration and extent of restrictive and quarantine measures.
