A bibliometric analysis of the development trend of Tuina research: Based on the Web of Science (WOS) platform.

Tuina has been proven to significantly relieve symptoms, demonstrating its clinical value. With the growth of related research, a comprehensive review is urgently needed to promote its development. This study aims to clarify the collaboration and current research status in the field of Tuina research using bibliometric analysis, and to discuss future directions. On February 4, 2023, the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched using the keywords "tuina," "tui-na," "tui na," and "Chinese massage" to collect literature related to Tuina from its inception until December 31, 2022. The collected literature included all types of research articles and reviews. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Pajek, and Scimago Graphica were utilized to perform a visual analysis of annual publication volume, as well as publication volume and collaboration networks of different countries, institutions, and authors, along with journal publication volume and keyword network analysis. A total of 761 publications were included in the analysis, with the total number of papers showed an increasing trend over time. The countries and institutions with the most publications were China and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, respectively. The authors who contributed the most were Min Fang, Qingguang Zhu, Zhiwei Wu, Lingjun Kong and Yufeng Wang. The most widely published journal in the field was the Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science. The clinical efficacy evaluation of Tuina therapy for musculoskeletal and spinal diseases, apoplexy sequelae, chronic diseases, and pediatric diseases were research hotspots and developing trends in this field. The research on Tuina has been increasing year by year. Currently, the focus of Tuina research lies in clinical studies, including the treatment of skeletal muscle and spinal diseases, stroke sequelae, chronic diseases, and pediatric illnesses, with pediatric Tuina emerging as a hot topic of research. Basic research in this field is relatively scarce, and the mechanisms of action of this therapy have not yet been fully elucidated. Future efforts in this area should aim to strengthen basic research and promote cooperation among international institutions.

Unveiling the migratory patterns of scarlet flycatchers using citizen science databases

The migratory patterns of many Neotropical bird species remain largely unknown. Numerous logistic challenges prevent such studies, from research costs, often prohibitively expensive to Neotropical research institutions, to equipment weight limitations. Therefore, it is paramount to explore new possibilities in the field of migratory bird research such as the abundant records from citizen science platforms. In this study, we investigated the spatial and temporal migratory patterns of the scarlet flycatcher Pyrocephalus rubinus using two citizen science platforms: eBird and WikiAves, which provided 40,837 records of the species. Our findings indicated that scarlet flycatchers arrive at the wintering grounds in central-western Brazil, central-eastern Bolivia, and eastern Peru around May and June. We also found that scarlet flycatchers arrive at breeding grounds in central and eastern Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay between August and October, where it stays in the months thereafter (November, December, January). The year-round records of the species in northern Argentina and southern Paraguay deserve further studies. Understanding migratory patterns is imperative for predicting population dynamics and climate influence on the breeding biology of these species in the face of a rapidly changing world.

Crowdsourced Indicators of Flora and Fauna Species: Comparisons Between iNaturalist Records and Field Observations

Cultural ecosystem services provide intangible benefits such as recreation and aesthetic enjoyment but are difficult to quantify compared to provisioning or regulating ecosystem services. Recent technologies offer alternative indicators, such as social media data, to identify popular locations and their features. This study demonstrates how large volumes of citizen science and social media data can be analyzed to reveal patterns of human interactions with nature through unconventional, scalable methods. By applying spatial statistical methods, data from the citizen science platform iNaturalist are analyzed and compared with ground-truth visitation data. To minimize data bias, records are grouped by taxonomic information and applied to the metropolitan area of Seoul, South Korea (2005–2022). The taxonomic information included in the iNaturalist data were investigated using a standard global biodiversity database. The results show citizen science data effectively quantify public preferences for scenic locations, offering a novel approach to mapping cultural ecosystem services when traditional data are unavailable. This method highlights the potential of large-scale citizen-generated data for conservation, urban planning, and policy development. However, challenges like bias in user-generated content, uneven ecosystem coverage, and the over- or under-representation of locations remain. Addressing these issues and integrating additional metadata—such as time of visit, demographics, and seasonal trends—could provide deeper insights into human–nature interactions. Overall, the proposed method opens up new possibilities for using non-traditional data sources to assess and map ecosystem services, providing valuable information for conservation efforts, urban planning, and environmental policy development.

What’s in it for citizen scientists? An Analysis of Participant Inclusivity in Citizen Science Projects in Advanced Physics Research

Citizen science projects optimise the democratisation of the production of scientific knowledge. In these initiatives, research processes do not rely solely on scientists’ but on citizens’ engagement, likewise with benefits on both sides. As previous work shows, the inclusivity perspective of citizen science projects might be viewed critically as some groups of citizens tend to be overrepresented in these initiatives while others are left out. This paper explores the claim of inclusivity and the citizens’ benefits based on four citizen science projects in the fields of astrophysics and particle physics on the citizen science platform Zooniverse. Besides a general engagement strategy, the citizen science projects addressed two groups specifically, the elderly and people with visual impairments. The claim for inclusivity is reflected in the analysis of citizens’ demographic variables as an indicator for accessibility of the research projects. We used a pre-post design with questionnaires on science attitudes, motivations, skills, self-efficacy, and knowledge to assess what citizen scientists gained from participating in the project. The demographic analysis of the data reveals that participants were quite heterogeneous and that people who feel that they belong to a group that is discriminated against are particularly motivated to participate in citizen science projects. In terms of benefits, the results indicate knowledge and scientific skills gains, but no changes on other evaluative dimensions. Their attitude towards science was, in general, already rather positive when joining the projects, thus not leaving much room for change. These results confirm the importance of and call for a diversified citizen science engagement strategy and show that even in citizen science projects where the citizens’ task is limited to classifying data lead to scientific knowledge and skills gains.

Impact of Recent Translational and Therapeutic Developments on Clinical Course of BCR::ABL1-Positive and -Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.

Despite the study of BCR::ABL1-positive and -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) providing seminal insights into cancer biology, tumor evolution and precision oncology over the past half century, significant challenges remain. MPNs are clonal hematopoietic stem cell-derived neoplasms with heterogenous clinical phenotypes and a clonal architecture which impacts the often-complex underlying genetics and microenvironment. The major driving molecular abnormalities have been well characterized, but debate on their role as disease-initiating molecular lesions continues. The introduction of the ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been extremely successful in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with most patients having a near-normal life expectancy. Similar success has, however, not been achieved for BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs in terms of disease course modification and most patients remain incurable. In both disease categories, genomic instability seems to increase the risk of disease progression to accelerated/blast phase, which is resistant/refractory to conventional treatment and associated with a poor prognosis. To address some of these issues, the late John Goldman and Tariq Mughal founded a scientific and clinical platform in 2006, the Post-American Society of Hematology (ASH) MPN workshop, to appraise novel cancer biology, candidate therapeutic targets, treatments and other clinical challenges and pay tribute to all the many scientists and clinicians around the world instrumental to the progress made and continuing advances being made. This paper summarizes some of the recent data discussed at the 18th edition of the workshop and includes reference to some data presented or published after the workshop, including the 26th John Goldman CML conference.

Leveraging Digital Mobility Data to Estimate Visitation in National Wildlife Refuges

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) manages over 560 National Wildlife Refuges and dozens of National Fish Hatcheries across the United States. Accurately estimating visitor numbers to these areas is essential for understanding current recreation demand, planning for future use, and ensuring the ongoing protection of the ecosystems that refuges safeguard. However, accurately estimating visitation across the entire refuge system presents significant challenges. Building on previous research conducted on other federal lands, this study evaluates methods to overcome constraints in estimating visitation levels using statistical models and digital mobility data. We develop and test a visitation modeling approach using multiple linear regression, incorporating predictors from eight mobility data sources, including four social media platforms, one community science platform, and three mobile device location datasets from two commercial vendors. We find that the total number of observed visitors to refuges correlates with the volume of data from each mobility data source. However, neither social media nor mobile device location data alone provide reliable proxies for visitation due to inconsistent relationships with observed visitation; these relationships vary by data source, refuge, and time. Our results demonstrate that a visitation model integrating multiple mobility datasets accounts for this variability and outperforms models based on individual mobility datasets. We find that a refuge-level effect is the single most important predictor, suggesting that including site characteristics in future models will make them more generalizable. We conclude that statistical models which incorporate digital mobility data have the potential to improve the accuracy of visitor estimates, standardize data collection methods, and simplify the estimation process for agency staff.

Using Animal Welfare Framing as an Effective Approach to Communicating Climate Change-A Review.

Climate change and its effects continue to threaten the stability of environments worldwide, impacting nearly every species. Although framing is an established technique in climate communication science, little has been done in communicating the climate change effects from an animal welfare perspective. The primary objective of this article is to present the synthesis of evidence in existing literature on the effects of communicating climate change as an animal welfare issue. A systematic approach was taken based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) scoping review guidelines and utilizing a hybridized ProPheT-PICOS Model with modifications. Using search strings, scholarly databases within the Web of Science platform were systematically searched for English-language climate change literature that included animal welfare concepts. Articles were imported into Covidence and inclusion and exclusion criteria were then used to select articles for further analysis. Of an initial 4080 studies, only two papers were identified that used animal welfare framing to discuss climate change based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Further research should attempt to understand and approach framing climate change concerning current understanding by geographic location and culture to close research gaps and mitigate bias in the context of climate change and its effects on animal welfare.

Short Communication Exploring malacological observations on iNaturalist: Citizen science as a tool for monitoring freshwater mussels

The aim of the present work was to determine the presence of freshwater mussels on the citizen science platform, iNaturalist, and present novel information on both threatened species and non-threatened species within the US. I assessed whether observations among these groups increased annually and states in which observations were high. Using this approach, I noted an increase for the amount of observations, and overall there were more observations for least concern species, with primarily Midwestern states having more observations, with the exception of Alabama and Texas, and South Dakota which had a large number of observations. Subsequently, this citizen science platform and online database may provide an avenue for future malacological monitoring across Unionidae mussels and serve as a companion to more traditional field surveys in aquatic ecosystems.

First record of Atypophthalmus umbratus (Diptera, Limoniidae) from Central Europe, a species introduced accidentally throughout global trade of exotic plants

Here we report the first data of the exotic Atypophthalmus umbratus (de Meijere, 1911) from two Central European countries, Romania and Hungary. This is the first time that the presence of an introduced exotic species of Limoniidae (Diptera) has been reported in the area. The above-mentioned species was first observed in Cluj, Romania, on tropical plant specimens (e.g. Alocasia x mortfontanensis ‘Polly’), which we bought from a large store selling tropical plants, from which both male and female specimens were collected. After that, checking some citizen science platforms of entomological interest, we also noticed record of the species in Hungary, based on their conspicuous wing pattern and general habitus. The presence of this accidentally introduced species far from its native tropical environment highlights the growing intensity of the global exotic plant market and the importance of citizen science in early warning systems for biological invasions.

'Whose is Crimea?' or What Content Are International Databases of Scientific Publications Filled with

Objective. The article aims to examine reputable international databases of scientific publications to identify the promotion of anti-Ukrainian content and determine the most typical directions of such promotion. Methods. Using the method of content analysis, the authors identified journals in certain international databases of scientific publications whose publishers are registered in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as Russian journals that publish works by authors from these territories, recognizing them as "new regions of Russia" and positively perceiving the ideas of the legitimacy of including new subjects in the Russian Federation. There are also publications: a) on the regulation of life in the occupied territories according to Russian standards and legislation, b) on new social technologies used in the occupied Ukrainian territories in educational institutions, c) on the formation of Russian national and state identity of residents of illegally annexed regions, etc. Results. The primary scientific outcome of the study is the identification of three significant issues in Russian scientific content that global scientific platforms tend to overlook: the recognition of educational institutions in occupied territories as Russian (since 2016, this has appeared in articles indexed in DOAJ, Scopus, and WoS); the indexing of journals registered in the temporarily occupied territories by DOAJ and Index Copernicus; the instrumental role of international scientific publication databases in disseminating anti-democratic ideas and false narratives through such articles. Conclusions. The authors conclude that without a clear stance from Ukraine's scientific and educational community on this issue and ongoing advocacy for Ukrainian national interests within the international scientific community, there is a risk of harmful ideas detrimental to Ukraine being amplified on an even greater number of international scientific publication aggregators.

Highly Efficient Electrode of Dirac Semimetal PtTe2 for MoS2-Based Field Effect Transistors.

Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) layered materials not only are an intriguing fundamental scientific research platform but also provide various applications to multifunctional quantum devices in the field-effect transistors (FET) thanks to their excellent physical properties. However, a metal-semiconductor (MS) interface with a large Schottky barrier causes serious problems for unleashing their intrinsic potentials toward the advancements in high-performance devices. Here, we show that exfoliated vdW Dirac semimetallic PtTe2 can be an excellent electrode for electrons in MoS2 FETs. High-performance FET characteristics reaching the FET mobility of 85 cm2 V-1 s-1 are observed with a negligibly small Schottky barrier height and large on-off current ratio over 108, which is among the highest performances in reported electrodes for MoS2. Discussions are had on the reason that exfoliated PtTe2 with Dirac states shows highly efficient electrode performances based on the comparisons with various other metal electrodes. The orbital hybrid effect between Dirac-semimetal PtTe2 and MoS2 was evidenced by the relative shift of Raman spectra peaks in the heterojunction, resulting in good ohmic contacts. These findings provide an important route to find high-performance electrodes for layered vdW materials and their related quantum devices.

Citizen science conservation: a case study using two threatened large aquatic American salamanders (Amphibia: Urodela), the Common Mudpuppy Necturus maculosus (Proteidae) and the Eastern Hellbender Cryptobranchus alleganiensis (Cryptobranchidae) observations on iNaturalist

Amphibians are facing threats globally which can present challenges to managers seeking to document declines. Citizen science platforms are emerging as an effective tool to document presence of species worldwide. However, little is known regarding the ability to characterize trends of large, fully aquatic easily identifiable salamander presence on these platforms within North American freshwater habitats, as a proxy for monitoring threatened species. This manuscript provides a baseline for the use of iNaturalist observations to characterize life history and anthropogenic factors associated with two amphibian species in decline, the Eastern Hellbender Cryptobranchus alleganiensis and Common mudpuppy Necturus maculosus salamanders. I report on predatory behavior, percent alive versus dead, and potential impacts of fishing on these salamanders. Conservation approaches such as those presented in this communication can provide a method for monitoring species using the power of citizen science in areas where researchers are managing threatened populations of amphibians.

A new species of Pelidnocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

In this work a new species, Pelidnocoris paradisicola sp. nov., of the genus Pelidnocoris Stål, 1868 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomoidea: Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae) is described from the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. An up-to-date diagnosis of the genus and its species is provided, comparing them with similar-looking Discocephalini genera. This is the first record of the genus for the Atlantic Forest, in southeastern South America, and increases the number of species in Pelidnocoris to four. The other species of Pelidnocoris are distributed from southern North America to northern South America, with records from Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, and northern Brazil. Photographs from the citizen science platform iNaturalist indicate the genus is also distributed in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, as well as in Belize, Ecuador and Peru, all representing new records. An identification key to the species of the genus is included, based on characters of general morphology and external male genitalia. Identification of the genus and its species from photographs in online repositories and databases is addressed.

Medical School Curricular Changes and Their Impact on Mental Health during the Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract Objectives The main objectives were to identify and categorize the curricular changes that occurred in U.S. medical schools during the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and to identify the relationship between curricular changes and COVID-19 surges and student mental health. Methods This Institutional Review Board-approved study consisted of a voluntary online survey of U.S. medical students. A convenience sample of students was reached through Facebook groups, medical student organizations, and administrators. The survey consisted of questions about demographics, curricular changes, and mental health. Univariate and backward stepwise multivariate linear regression were used to assess associations between mental health outcomes and demographic characteristics, curricular changes, and stressors. Results Four-hundred and nine medical students completed the survey from 21 states between May 29, 2020, and August 29, 2020. Seventy-nine percent of respondents reported continuing their basic science curricula virtually. Forty-five percent reported that rotations continued virtually; those reported being offered virtually included internal medicine (77%), family medicine (78%), surgery (70%), obstetrics/gynecology (73%), pediatrics (74%), and psychiatry (76%). The majority of students reported that core clerkships (78%) and subinternships (86%) were not allowed, and away rotations were universally canceled. In univariate linear regression, having in-person subinternships and core clerkships allowed, as well as not relocating for coursework or residence (experienced by 35% of students), was associated with improved mental health outcomes, while experiencing graduation changes (15%) or being from the Southern region was associated with worse outcomes (p < 0.001). Conclusion During the early COVID-19 pandemic, students reported that their medical schools adapted by converting to virtual platforms for basic science and core clerkships. Allowing in-person rotations and limiting relocation were associated with improved mental health outcomes among students. Limitations included sample size, selection bias, and student perceptions.

Prevalence of emotional burnout among dietitians and nutritionists: a systematic review, meta-analysis, meta-regression, and a call for action.

Despite anecdotal evidence pointing to the high prevalence of job stress and burnout among dietitians and nutritionists, few studies have been conducted on this topic. Moreover, most studies are from Western countries. The objective of the current study, based on systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression, is aimed to provide systematically graded evidence to assess the prevalence of emotional burnout among dietitians and nutritionists across age, sex, and cultural backgrounds. Two reviewers independently conducted a systematic search from 1January 2000, to 1 April 2024 and was later updated to 15November 2024, across seven databases: EBSCOhost Research Platform, EMBASE, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. The DerSimonian-Laird method was utilized to pool the data in this meta-analysis. Data from a total of 12,166 dietitians and nutritionists were extracted from 16 datasets (published in twelve research reports) covering a period of approximately 25 years. We measured the pooled prevalence of global burnout syndrome and its individual symptoms among dietitians and nutritionists. Subgroup meta-analyses were also conducted to identify a comprehensive set of moderators, including participants' age and sex. The prevalence of global burnout syndrome in dietitians and nutritionists (K = 10, N = 10,081) showed an overall prevalence rate of 40.43% [23.69; 59.74], I² = 99.3%, τ [95% CI] = 1.18 [0.84; 1.97], τ² [95% CI] = 1.38 [0.71; 3.89], H [95% CI] = 12.68 [11.70; 13.74]. The prevalence of burnout dimensions/individual symptoms in dietitians and nutritionists (K = 2, N = 695) is summarized as follows: emotional exhaustion (EE) at 26.11% [15.14; 41.17], I² = 84.0%, τ = 0.21, τ² = 0.46, Q = 6.25, p < 0.001; depersonalization (DP) at 6.59% [1.08; 31.22], I² = 95.0%, τ = 1.72, τ² = 1.31, Q = 20.18, p < 0.001; and personal accomplishment (PA) at 59.29% [39.81; 76.23], I² = 89.3%, τ = 0.29, τ² = 0.54, Q = 9.36, p < 0.001. Meta-regression showed no difference by age or sex, p = 0.80, and p = 0.20, respectively. This meta-analysis revealed that the prevalence of burnout among dietitians and nutritionists is as high as in other medical professionals. Furthermore, age and sex were not significantly associated with emotional burnout among dietitians and nutritionists. This study provides the impetus for policy changes to improve dietitians' and nutritionists' working conditions, as well as the overall quality of nutrition care.

Enhanced Quantum State Transfer via Feedforward Cancellation of Optical Phase Noise

Many experimental platforms for quantum science depend on state control via laser fields. Frequently, however, the control fidelity is limited by optical phase noise. This is exacerbated in stabilized laser systems where high-frequency phase noise is an unavoidable consequence of feedback. Here we implement an optical feedforward technique to suppress laser phase noise in the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage state transfer of ultracold RbCs molecules, across 114 THz, from a weakly bound Feshbach state to the rovibrational ground state. By performing over 100 state transfers on single molecules, we measure a significantly enhanced transfer efficiency of 98.7(1)% limited only by available laser intensity.

Conclusion. 17 original pediatric vocal self-assessment questionnaires were identified and described.

Developing an Affordable Miniature 3D-Printed Wave Generator for Wave Energy Harvesting Application.

The development of low-frequency and low-amplitude wave energy harvesters has been limited by the lack of an affordable scientific evaluation platform, due to the high cost and land requirements of ground-based water channels. A 3D-printed modular wave generator, combined with the commercially available laboratory-sized wave channel, is proposed to address this. A stepper motor and an Arduino are employed as the driving source and controller. This system utilises motor parameters, such as rotational speed and number of travelled steps, to accurately control generated wave frequency and amplitude. By minimising costs and enhancing sustainability through 3D printing technology, only minor modifications are needed to adapt it to different water tank dimensions. The system can generate stable waves with frequencies from 1 Hz to 2 Hz and amplitudes from 1.5 cm to 7.1 cm under the current setting. The generated wave frequency and amplitude can be further customised by selecting faster stepper motors, as demonstrated in this study.

The Role of Physical Activity in Enhancing and Preserving Skin Health

Introduction:Interest in the relationship between physical activity and skin health has grown significantly in recent years. Both scientific literature and media platforms highlight the influence of exercise on skin vitality, with social media often emphasizing its aesthetic benefits. Scientific studies, however, focus on mechanisms like improved circulation, enhanced collagen production, and reduced inflammation. This review aims to analyze the impact of physical activity on skin health, examining its benefits and potential drawbacks while providing a comprehensive understanding of the biological processes involved. Aim of the study:The study seeks to review scientific literature to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on skin health and condition. Materials and methods:The authors conducted a review of scientific literature using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, and Google Scholar. Articles from 2003 to 2024 were analyzed with keywords including physical activity and skin health, exercise and dermatology, skin metabolism, and exercise benefits for the skin. Only studies relevant to the relationship between physical activity and skin health were included. Results and conclusions:Physical activity significantly benefits skin health by boosting collagen production, improving circulation, and reducing cortisol levels, resulting in a radiant and youthful complexion. However, risks such as barrier damage, increased sebum production, and infections must be managed. Personalized skincare routines emphasizing cleansing, hydration, and protection against environmental factors are essential for individuals engaging in regular exercise.
