Exploring Citation Patterns of Australian Research into Teachers of Gifted Students through a Focused Study of Articles Published in the Australasian Journal of Gifted Education 1992- 2024

This document analysis sought to examine the nature and scope of articles relating to teaching and giftedness published in Australia’s only gifted education journal – the Australasian Journal of Gifted Education (AJGE) from 1992 to 2024. Utilising the Publish or Perish software program to identify a corpus of related literature published in the AJGE since its inception, 43 articles were chosen as fitting the search criteria. For each article, basic descriptors are provided including the frequency of citing other research from within the AJGE. Previous research has identified limitations in Australian gifted education research but also acknowledged the small and relatively young field’s promising achievement of a level of recognition through a developing citation profile (Jolly et al., 2024). Yet this could be enhanced through a more dedicated commitment on the part of Australian researchers to cite relevant Australian research wherever possible, to ensure the continued progression of our citation profile. This study provides insight into citing patterns by AJGE authors in one topic area, in the hope that it will encourage future contributors to more frequently examine and cite local research in the field.

Effect of Parathyroidectomy After Renal Transplantation on Grafted Kidney Function Within One Year: A Meta-Analysis

Objective: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is a common symptom of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and at the time of transplantation, more than two-thirds of patients with end-stage renal disease have secondary hyperparathyroidism. After kidney transplantation, parathyroid function is normalized in some kidney transplant recipients, but up to 50% of kidney transplant recipients develop tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT) one year after kidney transplantation. The effect of parathyroidectomy on the grafts is currently unclear, so we conducted a meta-analysis of these studies to assess the changes in graft function one year after parathyroidectomy after kidney transplantation to investigate the resection in renal transplant recipients. Methods: A thorough exploration was conducted across Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases to gather pertinent literature spanning from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2023. The search criteria encompassed terms such as "kidney transplantation," "parathyroidectomy," and "hyperparathyroidism." Results: Twelve studies were scrutinized to assess alterations in graft functionality at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-parathyroidectomy. The meta-analysis unveiled a notable decline in overall glomerular filtration rate and a concurrent elevation in serum creatinine one year post-parathyroidectomy, signifying an impairment in graft function compared to the preoperative phase. Significant heterogeneity was observed among the studies. Conclusion: Following parathyroidectomy in renal transplant recipients one year post-surgery, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels normalized. Nonetheless, there was evident impairment in graft function and an elevated risk of graft loss. Hence, the safety of parathyroidectomy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism post-renal transplantation necessitates meticulous consideration.

Organizational Digital Transformation Readiness: An Exploratory Investigation

The widespread adoption of digital technologies across various aspects of society has led to the emergence of two highly context-dependent constructs that explain how businesses are getting ready for transformative digital processes: digital readiness and digital transformation (DT). However, assessing the extent to which an organization is ready to succeed in a DT initiative still requires further investigation. This research addresses this gap by working towards a practical definition and model of organizational digital transformation readiness (ODTR). The authors investigate how an organization’s readiness for digital transformation should be conceptualized, assessed, and improved through a systematic literature review. This literature review covered the years 2004 to 2021, as well as articles published until May 2022. The search was conducted in the Web of Science database, as well as in the most important publishers’ databases, resulting in 264 papers on “e-readiness”, 72 articles on “digital transformation”, and 8 articles on “digital transformation readiness”. Based on this, some dimensions emerged as the most prominent for understanding how companies prepare for transformative digital processes, namely technological resources, business processes, management capability, human capability, and corporate culture, which highlights the multidisciplinary nature of ODTR. Furthermore, the literature review showed the similarity between e-readiness and digital readiness, allowing the assessment of an organization’s maturity for digital transformation. The review synthesized the scientific literature on the readiness of organizations for digital transformation, allowing the proposition of an integrative framework to evaluate ODTR. Moreover, it allows the development of insights and recommendations for practices related to successful digital transformation initiatives. As this literature review has limitations related to its scope and search criteria, future studies can provide a broader investigation into how organizations respond to the challenge of DT and their respective readiness to do so in practice.

Fine-Grained Meetup Events Extraction Through Context-Aware Event Argument Positioning and Recognition

Extracting meetup events from social network posts or webpage announcements is the core technology to build event search services on the Web. While event extraction in English achieves good performance in sentence-level evaluation [1], the quality of auto-labeled training data via distant supervision is not good enough for word-level event extraction due to long event titles [2]. Additionally, meetup event titles are more complex and diverse than trigger-word-based event extraction. Therefore, the performance of event title extraction is usually worse than that of traditional named entity recognition (NER). In this paper, we propose a context-aware meetup event extraction (CAMEE) framework that incorporates a sentence-level event argument positioning model to locate event fields (i.e., title, venue, dates, etc.) within a message and then perform word-level event title, venue, and date extraction. Experimental results show that adding sentence-level event argument positioning as a filtering step improves the word-level event field extraction performance from 0.726 to 0.743 macro-F1, outperforming large language models like GPT-4-turbo (with 0.549 F1) and SOTA NER model SoftLexicon (with 0.733 F1). Furthermore, when evaluating the main event extraction task, the proposed model achieves 0.784 macro-F1.

Autologous Peripheral Blood-Derived Orthobiologics for the Management of Shoulder Disorders: A Review of Current Clinical Evidence.

A multidisciplinary approach is recommended to manage shoulder pain, the third most common musculoskeletal disorder, but traditional modalities have limitations, providing only temporary symptomatic pain relief instead of targeting the underlying pathophysiology. Recently, autologous peripheral blood-derived orthobiologics (APBOs) have become popular for the management of shoulder disorders. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the most frequently used APBO, but its efficacy remains disputable. Thus, the possibility of using other APBOs, such as platelet lysate (PL), autologous conditioned serum (ACS), gold-induced cytokine (GOLDIC), plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), growth factor concentrate (GFC), autologous protein solution (APS), and hyperacute serum (HS), for the management of shoulder disorders have been considered. This review summarizes the outcomes of clinical studies involving APBOs to manage shoulder disorders. Multiple databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus) were searched employing terms for APBOs and various shoulder disorders for articles published in the English language to September 11, 2024, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Only six clinical studies fulfilled our pre-defined search and inclusion criteria. Specifically, one, two, two, and one studies involving the use of PL, ACS, PRGF, and APS, respectively, were included in this review. No clinical studies were identified involving the use of GOLDIC, GFC, and HS. Administration of PL, ACS, PRGF, and APS is safe and can reduce pain and improve function in patients with shoulder disorders, including rotator cuff tendinopathy, subacromial impingement syndrome, glenohumeral osteoarthritis and delayed union fracture of the clavicle. Given the dearth of relevant literature and limitations of the available studies, more prospective clinical studies, and ideally, randomized controlled trials, with extended follow-up are necessary to establish the efficacy of APBOs and to select the ideal APBO for the management of shoulder disorders.

Effectiveness of Cognitive Remediation Interventions for Schizophrenia in Asian Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Cognitive deficits are an integral part of schizophrenia, with negatively impacting functionality. Current treatments, primarily pharmacological, do not adequately address these cognitive impairments. Cognitive remediation (CR) interventions, designed to improve cognitive functions, have shown promising outcomes. However, most research has been conducted in western contexts, necessitating a review of CR effectiveness in the Asian populations. This systematic review aims to provide comprehensive update on the effectiveness of CR interventions in improving cognition among individuals with schizophrenia in Asian countries. The meta-analysis aims to synthesize and summarize the relevant CR studies to obtain a pooled estimate of effectiveness. Methods: A systematic search of three databases, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and EMBASE, was conducted from the date of inception to March 19, 2024, for eligible records using prespecified search criteria. Primary studies with a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, conducted on individuals aged 18–65 years, diagnosed with schizophrenia in Asian countries, comparing CR interventions with other non-pharmacological interventions or treatment as usual, reporting cognitive outcomes, using standardized tools, and published in English were included in the study. The review excluded unpublished RCTs, low-quality studies, open-label studies, cohort studies, studies focusing on noncognitive outcomes, and those lacking a clear comparison arm. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias 2 (RoB2) tool by two independent reviewers. Meta-analyses were performed using R version 4.3.0 software using meta package to synthesize the overall impact of CR interventions on cognitive outcomes. Results and Discussion: This systematic review included 17 studies with 1272 participants, conducted in China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Iran, Korea, and Singapore. The interventions varied in type and format. These were delivered through group and individual sessions, both in-person and computer-based, with varied duration. Quality assessment done with RoB2 tool indicated high-risk concerns in 14 of the studies. The meta-analysis of four studies on composite cognitive scores using the brief assessment of cognition in schizophrenia showed a significant positive effect of CR interventions (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35 to 1.43). For executive functioning, the meta-analysis of three studies indicated no significant improvement (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI: −0.11 to 1.61). Conclusion: CR is an effective intervention for improving cognitive functions in individuals with schizophrenia in Asia based on the meta-analysis conducted, akin to evidence from western countries. However, quality concerns and high heterogeneity among the included studies underscore the need for standardized protocols and uniform outcome measures to enhance the reliability of future research.

Exploring the associations among major fields of study, pre-professional activities, and post-college job quality in alumnx of liberal arts colleges

AbstractAcross several decades of studies seeking to examine the effects of college on students’ careers, earnings are the outcome that has captured the most attention, as discussed by Mayhew et al. (2016), and large-scale efforts like the College Scorecard feature median earnings as the only career outcome displayed, presented alongside graduation rates and annual average costs in its college search website, as discussed by USDOE (2023). The study sought to build upon and nuance of prior research by examining the effects of higher education on students’ career outcomes based on a multifaceted conceptualization of job quality. The results reinforce the importance of pre-professional activities such as internships and participating in faculty research, although the frequency of engagement differed by major and student race. Ultimately, the findings provide new evidence in three areas: the associations between undergraduate major and the quality of one’s first job following graduation and the impact of engaging in pre-professional activities during college; the associations between undergraduate major and the quality of one's current job, and the mediated role of engaging in pre-professional activities during college and the quality of one’s first job; and the extent to which these mechanisms differ between alumnx from the global majority and those who identify as White.

Russian Immigrant Families’ Child Care Selection in the United States

AbstractResearch on immigrant populations shows that child care choices are dependent on the population’s region of origin. While the Russian immigrant population in the United States comprises the largest group of immigrants from Eastern Europe and is likely to increase in the future, there is virtually no research on Russian immigrant families’ child care search and selection criteria. This qualitative study applies the theoretical model of Pungello and Kurtz-Costes (1999), which illustrates how factors such as parental demographic characteristics, environmental context, child characteristics, and parental beliefs play into families’ child care selection. The study draws from semi-structured interviews with 11 Russian immigrant families residing in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States to examine their child care search processes and selection criteria. Results revealed that most parents found child care through friends’ recommendations, Internet search, and online reviews. Nine themes describing child care criteria valued by Russian immigrant families emerged from the analysis. Specifically, parents mentioned culture and personal beliefs, child characteristics, convenience, cost and subsidy, education and learning, program features, facilities and environment, teacher characteristics, and rating and reputation as the major factors in selecting child care. Understanding Russian immigrant parents’ child care information sources and selection criteria will allow for early care and education (ECE) providers to accommodate the needs of Russian immigrant population and for policymakers to facilitate access to ECE programs for these families.

Identifying Factors That Might Affect Outcomes of Exercise-Based Therapies in Long-COVID.

Long-COVID, which might develop after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, is a rather new disease without standardized treatment strategies. A large number of approaches that integrate physical activity have been described in the literature, and this systematic review aims to examine changes in symptom severity, physical fitness, respiratory symptoms and quality of life during training and identify factors that might influence the respective outcomes. A literature search was conducted using the databases Pubmed, PEDro, BioMed Central, EBSCOhost, ProQuest and the ZBSport from 13 February 2024 to 27 February 2024, and 39 studies fulfilled the search criteria. The analyzed study designs varied regarding the type of intervention (isolated vs. multidisciplinary), duration and intensity of training sessions and overall length of the program. Individualized holistic concepts of physical activity paralleled by additional approaches demonstrated high effectiveness. However, many of the participants continue to suffer from Long-COVID after the intervention. Long-COVID treatment should be individualized, multifactorial and not limited in time and should consider each patient's pre-existing conditions and individual course of the disease to provide the best possible support and care.

Predecisional information search adaptively reduces three types of uncertainty

How do people search for information when they are given the opportunity to freely explore their options? Previous research has suggested that people focus on reducing uncertainty before making a decision, but it remains unclear how exactly they do so and whether they do so consistently. We present an analysis of over 1,000,000 information-search decisions made by over 2,500 individuals in a decisions-from-experience setting that cleanly separates information search from choice. Using a data-driven approach supported by a formal measurement framework, we examine how people allocate samples to options and how they decide to terminate search. Three major insights emerge. First, predecisional information search has at least three drivers that can be interpreted as reducing three types of uncertainty: structural, estimation, and computational. Second, the selection of these drivers of information search is adaptive, sequential, and guided by environmental knowledge that integrates prior expectations, task instructions, and personal experiences. Third, predecisional information search exhibits substantial interindividual heterogeneity, with individuals recruiting different drivers of information search. Together, these insights suggest that human information search is complex in ways that cannot be fully explained by monolithic accounts of information search, including proposals focused on estimation uncertainty or cost-benefit analysis. We conclude that broader theories of human information-search behavior are necessary.

Pollen dispersal distance of Brazilian native tree species: a systematic review

Knowledge of the pollen dispersal distance (PDD) is crucial for delimitating the collection radius of subpopulations in seed collection areas used as germplasm sources for genetic breeding, conservation, and restoration projects. Some studies have reported the PDD of trees, but these are scattered throughout the literature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to systematically review and report as many PDDs as possible found in the literature on native Brazilian tree species. In the present study, we identified the most and least studied species, temporal trends in publications, geographic distribution of studies, mating systems, and pollinator types for each species. A systematic review protocol was established, and the search criteria were improved, resulting in 543 articles. Forty-four articles contained information on native species, and 319 PDD from 41 tree species were extracted. The most investigated species for pollen dispersal were Cariniana estrellensis (Raddi) Kuntze (Jequitibá-branco) and Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze (Araucária). The PDD values ranged from 9 m to 5229 m, averaging 543.9273 m. The five species with the highest average PDDs were Centrolobium tomentosum Guill. ex Benth. (Araribá), Swietenia macrophylla King (Mogno-brasileiro), Hymenaea courbaril L. (Jatobá), Dipteryx alata Vogel (Baru) and Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart. Ex-Hayne (Jatobá do Cerrado) at 3191 m, 1472 m, 1450 m, 1215.12 m, and 1086.81 m, respectively. Theobroma cacao L. and Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil. had the shortest PDDs averages at 28 m and 15.9 m, respectively. This work provides a valuable PDD database that will expand the possibilities for new research and guide projects related to seed collection, forest restoration, germplasm conservation, and genetic breeding of native Brazilian trees.

NURSING'S ROLE IN THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS (HAIS)

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) represent an important public health problem worldwide. As it is a condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality, this type of infection requires control and prevention strategies to be adopted. In this sense, nursing care is an important element in the process of reducing the risks of HAIs, as they share routines that help minimize its causes, in addition to employing aseptic techniques to prevent a high potential for environmental contamination. professional and thus reduce possible infections by microorganisms. Given the importance of these professionals, the present study aimed to investigate the role of the nursing team in preventing and controlling infections related to healthcare, describing the main nursing actions in preventing and controlling these infections. The research was developed through a bibliographical review, with the selection of articles on the topic, whose publication occurred between the years 2019 and 2024. The application of the search criteria allowed the selection of 11 articles, which presented different approaches to the theme. According to these approaches, the group of selected articles can be classified by thematic areas: risk factors for the occurrence of HAIs; prevention measures for the nursing team; nursing practices to reduce risks; importance of the hospital infection control service. From carrying out this review, it was possible to observe that nursing acts directly in the prevention and control of this type of infection, whether through safe care practices, or through surveillance, the implementation of protocols and educational practices aimed at preventing these infections.

Investigating the Association Between Traffic-related Air Pollution (PM2.5 and Benzene) and the Risk of Asthma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background and aims: Asthma is a chronic disease that causes respiratory system inflammation. Recently, traffic-related air pollution (TRAP), especially particulate matter (PM2.5) and benzene, has been considered a factor that may increase the risk of asthma. This study investigated the association between TRAP (PM2.5 and benzene) and asthma risk. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the relevant published data were collected by searching the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases up to November 2022. The study quality was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale checklist. The data were analyzed using Stata software (version 14), and the significance level in this meta-analysis study was considered to be<0.05. Results: In the first search, 4,909 and 4,825 studies were extracted for PM2.5 and benzene, respectively. After evaluating and considering the search criteria, 25 and 4 studies remained for PM2.5 and benzene, respectively. For PM2.5, the odds ratio (OR) for developing asthma in the TRAP-exposed group compared to the unexposed group was 1.11 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.19, P=0.002). For benzene, the OR of developing asthma in the exposed group was 1.19 when compared to the unexposed group (95% CI: 1.10-1.29, P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on this review study, there was a positive association between TRAP exposure and the development of asthma. The results confirmed that PM2.5 and benzene increase the risk of asthma.

Asthmatic patients with vitamin D deficiency: Can vitamin D supplementation make a difference.

Asthma is a major public health concern due to its persistent inflammation of the airways. The intricate and widely variable epidemiology of asthma among nations and populations is a result of the interplay between genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. This study aims to investigate whether VitD supplementation can reduce the frequency of exacerbations (including the frequency of exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroids and the frequency of exacerbations necessitating trips to the hospital or emergency room, or both) and improve pulmonary function (clinical indicators such as the FEV1% predicted value). Computers were used to search Pubmed, Medline, ISI Web of Science, Embase, Cachrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and the Wanfang Database. Asthma/asthma, VitD/VitD, lung function/lung function, retrieval time is from database setup to October 8, 2021, to search all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of VitD on human asthma and to retroactively incorporate references to literature were all included in the search criteria. After rigorous screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction of the included literature by two reviewers independently, heterogeneity tests and sensitivity analyses were performed. The findings show that a total of 12 relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria were finally included, including 649 cases in the experimental group and 646 cases in the control group. VitD intervention reduced the number of asthma exacerbations, including the rate of exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy and the rate of acute exacerbations requiring emergency department or hospital visits or both. In the outcome of lung function (FEV1% predicted value), it was shown that VitD supplementation improved lung function; in the outcome of serum 25-hydroxyVitD levels, it was shown that VitD supplementation increased serum 25-hydroxyVitD levels.

Innovating smart cities in Latin America: Addressing regional urban challenges and opportunities

This study analyzes the role of innovation in the development of smart cities in Latin America. It focuses on how emerging technologies and sustainable strategies are being integrated into urban planning and urban development. In this sense, this study seeks to contribute to the smart city literature by answering the following research questions: (i) To what extent smart city innovative initiatives have been addressed in Latin America? and (ii) To what extent scholars have addressed sustainable innovation strategies in the smart city literature? To this end, this is the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of smart city research in Latin America, with a structured and systematized review of the available literature. This methodological approach allows cluster visualization and detailed analysis of inter-node relationships using the VOSViewer software. The research comprises 4 stages: (a) search criteria; (b) selection of documents; (c) software and data extraction; and (d) analysis of results and trends. Results indicate that studies on the Latin America region began to develop in 2012, with Brazil as a leader in this field and the tourism sector as the most relevant. Nevertheless, strong international collaboration was identified in co-authoring studies, underscoring a cooperative approach to solving common urban problems. The most active research area is technological innovation and sustainability, with focus on solutions for urban mobility, quality of life and smart governance. Finally, this work underlines the need to continue exploring the integration of technology in urban development, suggesting an agenda to guide future research to evaluate the sustainability and long-term impacts of smart city initiatives in Latin America. From the policy perspective, smart city initiatives need to be human-centered to boost smart solutions adoption and to guarantee long term local impacts.

A roadmap for a middleware as a federation service for integrative data retrieval of agricultural data.

Agriculture is confronted with several challenges such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity and stagnating productivity. The massive increasing amount of data and new digital technologies promise to overcome them, but they necessitate careful data integration and data management to make them usable. The FAIRagro consortium is part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in Germany and will develop FAIR compliant infrastructure services for the agrosystems science community, which will be integrated in the existing research data infrastructure service landscape. Here we present the initial steps of designing and implementing the FAIRagro middleware infrastructure to connect existing data infrastructures. The middleware will feature services for the seamless data integration across diverse infrastructures. Data and metadata are streamlined for research in agrosystems science by downstream processing in the central FAIRagro Search and Inventory Portal and the data integration and analysis workflow system "SciWIn".

Efficient transformer tracking with adaptive attention

AbstractRecently, several trackers utilising Transformer architecture have shown significant performance improvement. However, the high computational cost of multi‐head attention, a core component in the Transformer, has limited real‐time running speed, which is crucial for tracking tasks. Additionally, the global mechanism of multi‐head attention makes it susceptible to distractors with similar semantic information to the target. To address these issues, the authors propose a novel adaptive attention that enhances features through the spatial sparse attention mechanism with less than 1/4 of the computational complexity of multi‐head attention. Our adaptive attention sets a perception range around each element in the feature map based on the target scale in the previous tracking result and adaptively searches for the information of interest. This allows the module to focus on the target region rather than background distractors. Based on adaptive attention, the authors build an efficient transformer tracking framework. It can perform deep interaction between search and template features to activate target information and aggregate multi‐level interaction features to enhance the representation ability. The evaluation results on seven benchmarks show that the authors’ tracker achieves outstanding performance with a speed of 43 fps and significant advantages in hard circumstances.

Integrative public leadership: a systematic review

Coach-athlete emotional relationships in football and their impact on achievement motivation

Using the systematic literature review, this study investigates the emotional relationships between coaches and athletes in soccer and their impact on achievement motivation. Data were obtained from articles searched through Google Scholar. The search focused on the following keywords: "Emotional Relationship AND Coach AND Athlete AND Soccer AND Achievement Motivation". During the search, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. For example, the selected articles must be published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2019 and 2024. With these criteria, 17,300 articles were found. They were screened again in several stages, and 16 articles that fit the theme and met the inclusion requirements were chosen. During the article selection, this study followed the PRISMA guidelines, generating several key findings. The first finding of this study confirmed that emotional relationships between coaches and athletes in soccer are important in influencing motivation. A positive relationship, characterized by trust, emotional support, and effective communication, creates a conducive environment for athletes to develop intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which ultimately impacts their performance on the field. Another finding revealed that a coach's emotional intelligence is a crucial factor in building such relationships, as the coach's ability to understand and respond to athletes' emotional needs can increase athletes' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation, which in turn strengthens performance. Effective communication was also identified as a key element that enables coaches to provide constructive feedback and establish open channels of communication, thereby creating a climate that supports the development of athletes' achievement motivation.
