Prevalence and influencing factors of cognitive frailty among Chinese older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cognitive frailty refers to the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment in older adults, without a concurrent diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. This review aims to evaluate the prevalence of CF subtypes and identify influencing factors among Chinese older adults. The following databases were searched: PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, WOS, PsycINFO and CNKI et al (1 January 2001 to 20 October 2022). The risk of bias was assessed using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Methods Guide. Stata 17.0 software was used to pool the prevalence of cognitive frailty, and the pooled odds ratio and 95% CI of the influencing factors were calculated. The meta-analysis (56 studies and 80,320 participants) revealed the following prevalence rates: CF (18.9%), reversible CF (19.5%), potentially reversible CF (17.5%), CF in community-dwelling older adults (14.3%), CF in nursing homes (22.7%) and CF in older inpatients (25.2%). Influential factors identified included age, gender, education, nutrition, depression, exercise, sleep and comorbidity. The prevalence of CF among Chinese older adults is notably high, and it probably underestimates the prevalence of reversible cognitive frailty. It is crucial to encourage adherence to healthy behaviours, as it can effectively reduce and delay the onset of cognitive frailty.

User Experience Research Techniques Facilitate Improvements for Access and Discovery Tools Managed by Technical Services Librarians

A Review of: Hill, K. (2020). Usability beyond the home page: Bringing usability into the technical services workflow. The Serials Librarian, 78 (1–4), 173–180. https://doi.org/10.1080/0361526X.2020.1702857 Objective – To demonstrate how user experience research techniques can be incorporated into technical services work. As proof of this concept, the author describes a case wherein a team of librarians, including one in a technical services role, deployed a user experience study to determine if students were able to successfully use LibGuides and the A-Z Database List to find subject-specific resources. The study also aimed to gauge the potential for several A-Z Database List interface redesign options. Design – A case study of user experience techniques applied to technical services projects, including a classic usability test of existing tools and an A/B/C comparison of potential interface redesigns. Setting – The library at the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG), a public R2 university (doctoral university with high research activity). Subjects – Eleven student participants recruited through convenience sampling. Methods – The research team recruited study participants who were in the library at the time of the study, deselecting students from UNCG’s library school and those who were not currently affiliated with the university through an initial questionnaire. Eleven student participants were ultimately selected and led through a series of tasks related to finding subject-specific databases using the A-Z Database List and LibGuides. After the tasks for the A-Z Database List were completed, students were asked for their impression of two additional database list interfaces. Students were recorded throughout the tasks using the “talk aloud” method to provide researchers with insights on their thought processes and preferences. Following the study, researchers listened to the recordings, coding them as successful or incomplete and noting their observations for use in generalized findings. Main Results – Eight of eleven participants used the library’s main search box to locate a general resource for their major on the library’s homepage. When shown the A-Z Database List, ten out of eleven participants used the list to find a database for their major, while one used the link to “Research guides by subject” from that page. Comparisons of three A-Z Database List interfaces showed that most students preferred the Springshare Content Management System that allowed for filtering by subject area. When asked to find a research guide for their subject or major from the library’s homepage, nine out of eleven students clicked on the link labeled “Research guides by subject.” Starting from their subject guide, ten out of eleven could find a tab listing article databases. Nine participants noted that the number of databases listed on the guides was daunting. Conclusion – Results from the user experience study were used to support a redesign of the A-Z Database List using the Springshare Content Management System. The author regarded the experience as a whole as demonstrating how technical services librarians can become involved in user experience work and incorporate findings from usability studies into their management and design of tools that promote access and discoverability.

A Short Research Guide on Arctic Historical Bryozoan Collections and a Few Associated Biocoenosis at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Russian bryozoans and other invertebrate biocenosis material collected in the Arctic Ocean over a period of more than 250 years, and the corresponding literature citing them, are deposited in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia. This paper provides a general description and historical quantitative information about the Historical Bryozoan Collection kept in this Russian institute. Access to species-level data is available via the data portal ( www.zin.ru ). The quantitative distribution of benthos, specifically bryozoans, in the Russian Arctic seas remained nearly unexplored until recent times. The first systematic quantitative studies were conducted by the Zoological Institute in the Laptev Sea, in its southeastern part, on the New Siberian Shoal in 1973; the Chaun Bay of the East Siberian Sea in 1986; and near Wrangel Island and Cape Schmidt of the Chukchi Sea in 1976.

Centering Students with Disabilities: An Accessible User Experience Study of a Library Research Guide

Library practitioners can use digital accessibility standards to inform and evaluate accessible design, but how can we ensure online learning objects, such as library research guides, are both accessible and usable for students with disabilities? This is the research question that drove our accessible user experience study. Six undergraduate students with diverse disabilities completed the study. While all participants found our guide to be usable, it was not fully accessible to them. We outline our methodology, including considerations for involving participants with disabilities, and discuss our findings and limitations, so that our readers can consider the use of accessible user experience testing in their work.

Analyzing COVID-19 Resources on Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries’ (AAHSL) Research Guides

In this study, the authors analyzed 147 AAHSL member libraries’ COVID-19 research guides to determine the volume and origin of links included. Through stratified sampling based on total enrollment of health sciences academic institutions, 51 eligible AASHL library websites were selected for inclusion in the study. Content from COVID-19 research guides was analyzed, and the origin of each link was categorized. Most AAHSL libraries have at least one COVID-19 research guide, while some have two or more. A total of 8,848 links within examined research guides were visited. Links to academic institutions including universities’ own internal links were most common while news outlets, social media, and international government were linked least. Regarding individual organizations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)were most frequently linked. The overwhelming majority of sampled health sciences libraries use research guides to share COVID-19 information with their users. It is necessary to further investigate how libraries can optimize research guides to benefit their users. These results and conclusions reveal information resource patterns in research guides at health sciences academic libraries and are consistent with those reached by researchers investigating academic libraries’ research guides in 2020.

Entrepreneurial Orientation in Small Business Enterprises: Conceptualizations, Instrumentation and Research Guide

The paper presents some conceptualizations of the entrepreneurial orientation construct, and presents a research instrument that may guide future research efforts in small business enterprises (SBEs). Materials in relevant extant literature and cognate experience were used to conceptualize entrepreneurial orientation and its various dimensions, in addition to a research instrument that may guide cognate future research of the entrepreneurial orientation construct in small business enterprises. The paper reports that there is equivocation in relevant extant literature regarding the entrepreneurial orientation construct with respect to its conceptualizations and dimensions in different business types and contextual settings. In addition, the paper proposes a research agenda for investigation of the entrepreneurial orientation construct in small business enterprises, especially in emerging economies in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East, and South East Asia, among others, with relatively underrepresented relevant research streams of the construct. The paper has theoretical and practical forms of values with regard to the entrepreneurial orientation construct in the domain of small business enterprises, especially when situated along other cognate management and entrepreneurship orientation constructs in different cultural and business contexts.

The relationship between a numbers of administrative instructions in implementation the process of reducing employees

Since 1992, KRG-IRAQ has been established to governing the northern region of Iraq (Kurdistan), with small number of employees and moderate governmental administrations. However, with passing of time this statues changed, especially after 2004, as new central Iraqi government great budget effluent for KRG-IRAQ, that drags with itself recruitment of hundreds thousands of officials. Then, in 2014, political conflicts occurred between central government of Iraq and KRG-Iraq and together with terrorist organization of ISIS war and crude oil price depression makes KRG-IRAQ not be able to pay full monthly employee's salary. This research tries to introduce a guideline for government rightsizing through using of three administrative regulations of; (Reduced work week), Job sharing and Early retirement. A quantitative research methodology has been chose to analyze a specimen of governmental high officers' opinion through questionnaire approach to know how these 3 independent variables effects rightsizing as dependent variable. A questionnaire form created after making case study interview and checking both validity and reliability, three hypotheses were been estimated (H1, H2 and H3). Data analyzed after checking the reliability through frequency and correlation (Bivariate analyses method), the results show high significant correlation of all three administration regulation with the possibility of rightsizing implementation for KRG-Iraq's employees.

Acute Treatments for Episodic Migraine in Adults

Migraine is common and can be associated with significant morbidity, and several treatment options exist for acute therapy. To evaluate the benefits and harms associated with acute treatments for episodic migraine in adults. Multiple databases from database inception to February 24, 2021. Randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews that assessed effectiveness or harms of acute therapy for migraine attacks. Independent reviewers selected studies and extracted data. Meta-analysis was performed with the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman variance correction or by using a fixed-effect model based on the Mantel-Haenszel method if the number of studies was small. The main outcomes included pain freedom, pain relief, sustained pain freedom, sustained pain relief, and adverse events. The strength of evidence (SOE) was graded with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Methods Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews. Evidence on triptans and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was summarized from 15 systematic reviews. For other interventions, 115 randomized clinical trials with 28 803 patients were included. Compared with placebo, triptans and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used individually were significantly associated with reduced pain at 2 hours and 1 day (moderate to high SOE) and increased risk of mild and transient adverse events. Compared with placebo, calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists (low to high SOE), lasmiditan (5-HT1F receptor agonist; high SOE), dihydroergotamine (moderate to high SOE), ergotamine plus caffeine (moderate SOE), acetaminophen (moderate SOE), antiemetics (low SOE), butorphanol (low SOE), and tramadol in combination with acetaminophen (low SOE) were significantly associated with pain reduction and increase in mild adverse events. The findings for opioids were based on low or insufficient SOE. Several nonpharmacologic treatments were significantly associated with improved pain, including remote electrical neuromodulation (moderate SOE), transcranial magnetic stimulation (low SOE), external trigeminal nerve stimulation (low SOE), and noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (moderate SOE). No significant difference in adverse events was found between nonpharmacologic treatments and sham. There are several acute treatments for migraine, with varying strength of supporting evidence. Use of triptans, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, dihydroergotamine, calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists, lasmiditan, and some nonpharmacologic treatments was associated with improved pain and function. The evidence for many other interventions, including opioids, was limited.

Entrepreneurship research guide design at Canadian university libraries

This environmental scan reviews the entrepreneurship research guides at 17 Canadian universities to examine how librarians are prioritizing resources and resource instruction online. The research guides were evaluated on criteria such as core subject competency coverage, the use of proprietary databases versus open access resources, and the inclusion of instructional content. When comparing the subject coverage of the examined guides against the core subject competency rankings for entrepreneurship librarians (Toane & Figueiredo, Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship, 23(1), 35–62, 2018), a gap was identified for certain subjects. Industry research and market research were identified as top priorities in both cases, but international business research was given a low core subject competency ranking yet it was the only subject covered by all examined guides. This research will inform entrepreneurship librarians on the subject coverage of entrepreneurship guides from other institutions in order to identify gaps in their online coverage of topics and make improvements to their own guides.

Research Guide for Datastream and Worldscope at Wharton Research Data Services

The integration of Datastream and Worldscope databases at the Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) offers researchers a simple solution to bypass the cumbersome data collection and preparation process for global empirical research. This study guide proposes a clean approach to link these two databases through Refinitiv's Quantitative Mapping facilities. We then discuss various details about constructing stock returns through Datastream Return Index (RI). Finally, we demonstrate through an empirical case study on how to combine Datastream's pricing data and Worldscope's fundamental data to compare market characteristics across countries.

An Academic Library Utilization of Research Guides to Disseminate Consumer Health Resources

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Libraries (UT Libraries) utilizes research guides as supplemental training resources, educational tools, and community enrichment aids to support health literacy. This article illustrates case studies of three UT Libraries research guides that provide consumer health information, breaking down each research guide’s development, facilitation, and purpose. As a training resource, the Cultural Competency Guide works to support the course curriculum. The Introduction to Health Sciences Research Guide serves as an educational tool by establishing foundational information for consumer health assimilation. Lastly, the Seed Library & Gardening Guide serves as a community enrichment aid to encourage healthy lifestyles and share food insecurity information that impacts campus and local communities.

ОЦІНКА СТАНУ ПРИВИБІЙНОЇ ЗОНИ ПЛАСТА СВЕРДЛОВИН БОГОРОДЧАНСЬКОГО ПІДЗЕМНОГО СХОВИЩА ГАЗУ ЗА ДАНИМИ ГАЗОДИНАМІЧНИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ НА УСТАЛЕНИХ РЕЖИМАХ ФІЛЬТРАЦІЇ

A method for estimating the condition of the bottomhole zone of a gas well formation based on the results of interpretation of gas-dynamic well tests on the steady-state filtration conditions (on the example of horizon IV of the Bohorodchany UGS) is proposed. When planning activities to intensify hydrocarbon production, it is important to know the current and maximum capabilities of the formation at the point of its opening by the well. The indicators that characterize the relationship between current and potential opportunities include: skin effect, performance ratio, well perfection rate and the like. The values of these parameters are determined by the results of processing the pressure recovery curvesFor UGS wells, gas-dynamic studies on unsteady filtration regime with registration of bottomhole pressure change over time are not performed, so there are difficulties in determining the estimated parameters of the bottomhole zone and the effectiveness of geological and technical measures for each well.A method for determining the maximum productivity of gas wells on the example of horizon IV of the Bohorodchany UGS using the coefficient C, taking into account the productivity in the Rawlins equation, is proposed.According to the results of the comparative analysis of productivity coefficients with the specific volume of the formation, it is established that there is a fairly good correlation between these parameters. This confirmed the assumption that the productivity factor reflects the filtration characteristics of the formation.The condition of the bottomhole formation zone is estimated by the coefficient of productivity ratios (current to maximum). The decrease in the current productivity ratio below the maximum is due to a decrease in the permeability of the formation in the bottomhole area in the absence of a blockage at the bottom or a column of liquid.The results of this work allow us to identify facilities where it is advisable to apply methods of intensification of hydrocarbon production and evaluate the effectiveness of work without stopping wells to register the bottomhole pressure recovery curve. Key words: well, gas-dynamic well test, productivity ratio

P011: A learning module for better medical record review research.

Innovation Concept: The objective of this research study was to create a flipped classroom, interactive, experiential learning module on how to do a medical record review study. It is designed for medical students, residents, physicians, and researchers to have a remote, online, but interactive experience that expands on textbook concepts. The “flipped classroom” means that learners will guide their own education. This learning module will include a pre-test, interactive video module, and a post-test. These components will ensure each learner reaches previously set learning goals and not only solidify the learning of learners but validate the educational method, proving its value. Methods: A review of the literature indicates that medical record review is a valuable method of research in emergency medicine however researchers may encounter methodological difficulties, and sometimes medical record reviews are performed in a suboptimal manner due to these difficulties. We are creating a learning module that builds off of the chapter in the Royal College Research Guide and elaborates on various elements, including sample size calculation. Previous work indicates that a flipped classroom approach in medicine to learning has been well developed and is backed by evidence as well as learner preference to guide their own learning. Curriculum, Tool, or Material: The learning module was initiated from the Royal College Research Guide chapter on how to conduct medical record review research. The module is a white board drawing style video that combines elements of explanation and elaboration of the chapter information and a step by step, learner-interactive example of a medical record research project creation. Conclusion: Medical record review research is accessible to many researchers due to the availability of data. This innovation would help ensure that with this availability, good research is being conducted. Future steps will involve testing and validating this learning module using the pre and post-tests, and expanding to create other, similar modules for other Royal College Research Guide chapters.
