Traditional Literature Review Research Articles

The role of digital literacy in achieving health equity in the third millennium society: A literature review.

Healthcare in the third millennium is largely delivered through systems involving the use of the technological devices and services, foremost among them telemedicine. For the adequate delivery of digital medicine services, however, it is necessary for users to be digitally literate, that is, able to consciously make use of technology. In order to understand how relevant digital literacy is in determining the effectiveness of e-Health services, we performed a traditional literature review on 3 major databases by combining the terms "Digital Literacy" and "Computer Literacy" with the terms "Telemedicine" and "Telehealth". Starting from an initial library of 1,077 papers, we selected 38 articles. At the outcome of the search, we found that digital literacy is a pivotal element in conditioning the effectiveness of telemedicine and digital medicine services in general, however, with some limitations.

Traditional literature review: investigation of rhodamine b on street foods and sauce products in Indonesia

Food is one of the most important basic human needs for growth and development. Generally, the types of food cater to tastes and look attractive. To make it look attractive and have good taste is usually added with food additives. The food products with the most coloring added are street foods, red sauces, and rainbow cakes that children love. Rhodamine B is a prohibited coloring agent and is not present in food because, for a long time, it will cause liver damage, tumors, and cancer. Therefore, an article review was conducted to determine the levels and methods that can be used to analyze Rhodamine B from several research journals that have been conducted. The literature review method uses the following keywords or terms and strategies: "analysis" AND "rhodamine B" AND "food" OR "chili sauce" for searches on PubMed and Science Direct, while Google Scholar uses the keywords "Analysis, Rhodamine B, makanan, Sauce." And the inclusion criteria used were: (1) research articles in the form of journals published in the last ten years (2010-2020), using both English and Indonesian, full text; (2) Articles that discuss the analysis of Rhodamine B in snack foods and sauces located in Indonesia; (3) proved to be positive for Rhodamine B. The results of the reviewed articles showed that there was still Rhodamine B content in snack foods and sauces used by traders. The analytical methods used for identification were TLC, color detection with wool yarn, Rhodamine B Rapit-test Kit, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and Gravimetry. The highest levels of Rhodamine B were found at 194 ppm in tomato sauce. The review of articles that have been conducted shows that there is still Rhodamine B found in snack foods and sauces by traders, which can be harmful to health in the long and short term.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Brand Orientation Strategy in Digital Marketing: Determinants, Research Perspectives and Evolutions

With the advent of the digital economy era, the relationship between consumers and brands is changing. The mode of marketing, especially the paradigm of brand management, also needs to be adapted to change. Brand orientation has triggered a heated discussion on the dominant paradigm of market orientation and a new revolution in brand management. In view of the primary position of brand orientation in the management domain, it is necessary to sort out a systematic scientific knowledge mapping, clarify the research context and progress, and discover research focuses and limitations for strengthening the construction of brand-oriented theories. This study conducts a scientific quantitative analysis of 169 literatures and 7187 references from the Web of Science in the field of brand orientation by comprehensively using methods of scientific knowledge mapping and traditional literature review. The findings show that: (1) Concentrating on the core issue that “whether and how brand orientation becomes an effective strategic orientation of an organization”, brand orientation research includes six major hot spots and has been extended to fields including non-profit organizations, retail, service, manufacturing, e-commerce, and tourism. (2) As a multi-dimensional construct, brand orientation affects organizational performance directly through internal branding and external customer perception, and it is influenced by organizational culture, leadership, competition environment, funding sources, and brand cooperation. The relationship between brand orientation and market orientation has evolved from mutual substitution to synergy.

“Universities ain’t what they seem like on TV”

As a doctoral student, I was tasked to write a literature review for my dissertation, which focused on the experiences of Mexican/Mexican American/Xicanx undergraduate students at a predominantly white university in the Northeast. Rather than writing a traditional literature review, I wrote a critical race theory counterstory to convey my findings. Drawing on a systematic analysis of books, peer-reviewed articles, and reports related to Students of Color in higher education, I wrote a story about a first-generation Xicano student who does a college-going presentation at his former high school about racism and resistance in higher education. Specifically, from my analysis of literature, I created four subthemes that are addressed in this story: “The Impact of Segregation,” “From a Brown Space to a Hella White Space,” “Microaggressions in Higher Education,” and “Resistance and Counter-spaces.” Ultimately, I argue that counterstorytelling allowed me to stay true to myself while making my research accessible to communities outside of academia.

Navigating the Oceans of Research Literature on Trust

The notion of trust has been the subject of increasing interest in the social sciences since the 1990s. This literature rapidly reached an oceanic volume. It is structured in different research fields that are not easy to characterize through a traditional literature review. This article uses quantitative and computational tools in order to provide a clear and synthetic picture of the research fields on trust. The analysis carried out allows us to conclude that the fields of research on trust do not fall into a disciplinary partitioning. Therefore, there no such thing as the “economics of trust”. Articles in economics that focus on trust interact with other disciplines depending on the methods used or objects studied.

Latest Algorithms in Machine and Deep Learning Methods to Predict Retention Rates and Dropout in Higher Education: A Literature Review

External factors, such as global impact, or internal factors, such as educational services or the quality of learning, can affect the Retention rate or Number of Dropouts (DO) of students in higher education. Higher education institutions must have a strategy to manage retention rates properly. They can take an initial approach by knowing the estimated retention rate or the number of DOs so they can anticipate it by determining the right strategy. Several researchers have researched retention prediction or DO using specific methods and algorithms. This literature review aims to provide an overview and analysis of the methods and algorithms used to predict retention rates or the Number of DOs of students in higher education and to know the latest trends in developing the algorithms used in predicting retention rates or DO. The method used in this research is the traditional literature review. We have identified Twenty-one articles according to the theme. From the article, there are 21 machine learning algorithms, 13 deep learning algorithms used, seven time-series algorithms, four feature selection algorithms, and three combinations of algorithms used. The review results show that deep learning algorithms provide higher accuracy values than machine learning algorithms, and the recent trend of using algorithms to predict retention levels or DO is towards using time series algorithms in deep learning methods.

Literature Review, Meta-Analysis, and Mega-Analysis in Ecological and Agricultural Sciences

Literature review is an important component in any scientific research. In ecological and agricultural sciences, many studies have been conducted over years. With accumulation of scientific studies and published papers, it is critical to summarize and evaluate these previous research findings. Different literature review methods have been applied, including traditional qualitative literature review, quantitative meta-analysis, and more recently, mega-analysis, or meta-meta-analysis. Here we briefly describe these different approaches and draw attention to the recent development of data synthesis. Several case studies were used to illustrate the application of these methods in the ecological and agricultural sciences.

Transformative Service Research and impact of indoor environmental quality on workers’ productivity: Potentialities of neuroscience in its assessment

Previous research demonstrated that there is a link between workers’ productivity and their overall comfort in the workspaces. Nowadays, the energy crisis is highlighting the need for energy saving measures also in workplaces to reduce expenses, thus posing threats to the overall comfort of workers: how to deal with this trade-off? In such a frame, this paper is a traditional literature review of the research, conducted so far, useful to understand the optimal point of energy needed to secure human wellbeing in workspaces (and thus, acceptable productivity). Moving from an overview of the most common adopted methodologies and related findings, this work focuses on applications and opportunities associated with merging methods from neuroscience. Neuroeconomics, in fact, uses some indexes (cognitive interests, mental fatigue) and techniques (EEG, heart rate) that allow to understand whether a person is focused on his/her work or not: this can represent a double-check of the optimal level of environmental comfort in offices. Environmental comfort studies concerning the adoption of physiological monitoring are compared here to business management studies lying on physiological indexes to assess employees’ interest and cognitive effort, which influence their productivity. This comparison showed up new perspectives in the investigation of occupants’ productivity and environmental comfort, which can be pursued in the coming years to understand how to achieve the optimum between energy consumption and workers’ productivity.

Progress and prospects in crowd safety evacuation research in China

China has a population of 1.4 billion, ranking first in the world. With the increase in China's economic development and population, the construction of various types of buildings in China is also increasing, and associated safety hazards are gradually increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to study the safe evacuation of people inside and outside the building in emergency situations. In recent years, some scholars have used the traditional statistical method of literature review to analyze the research frontiers in the field of safety evacuation, but few scholars have used bibliometric methods to analyze and review the current situation of research in this field. Therefore, this paper adopts the analysis method combining bibliometrics and traditional literature review to summarize the research status of crowd evacuation published by Chinese scholars in the Web of Science core database, and uses VOSviewer to analyze the authors, institutions, and keywords of the literature search results, so as to identify their research hotspots. The results show that the last three years have been the peak period of crowd evacuation studies, with many disciplines involved in this field and they are closely related, led by the number of papers related to architecture. Simulation, model, behavior, among others, have been the most used keywords in this research field, and the research on path planning and exit selection behavior has also increased significantly. According to the keyword analysis, three hot spots of safety evacuation research, namely large-scale group evacuation, evacuation path planning and evacuation exit selection are analyzed in detail.

Police emergency: career survivability navigating trauma, the impacts of COVID-19 and mental illness for police

PurposeThis study aims to view police mental and physical health and overall well-being through a victimological lens so as to attempt to prevent problems from starting or protecting them by informing them of what may occur within their career.Design/methodology/approachKnowledge production within the field of police health and career implications is exponentially increasing as officers all over the world try and sometimes fail to navigate the difficulties of their complex career choice. Many of the disciplines that deal with this research are acting as silos, so there is not a lot of crossover in Australian literature. This study creates a contemporary collective of literary evidence in relation to police well-being as well as the impact of COVID on them. Creating this collective is why the literature review as a research method is critical. Traditional literature reviews can lack clear process. By using a literature review as a specific methodology, the outcome is a meticulous record of all relevant materials.FindingsThe results of this literature review identified, without bias or interpretation, many officers became disillusioned, mentally unwell and took time away from work for two main reasons: (1) for many police officers, the substantial distress from cumulative exposure to bureaucratic administration and management styles, erratic work hours and long hours of repetitive work and (2) the dangers of day-to-day policing with the presence at fatal accidents, suicides, receiving threats to life, being assaulted and gaining poor eating and drinking habits creating issues for sleep and physical health.Research limitations/implicationsFor the purposes of creating a contemporary paper, the authors restricted the sample of literature to 22 years (accessing from 2,000 onward). By only selecting journals from Google Scholar, relating to specific years and drawing on search terms to limit our search, it may be perceived to have skewed the sample and the outcomes. Further work will be completed in the future to correct this.Practical implicationsPolice organisations may consider altering their bureaucratic procedures and make an effort to allow officers to better self-manage minor issues. From a victimological perspective, given that police officers are more than likely to be affected by cumulative experience of traumatic events over their career, they should be taught how to lower their individual levels of stress, to practice self-care and to be able to trust that the care they seek will be readily available without judgement.Social implicationsKnowing the triggers related to police breakdown, both physically and mentally, may help intervene in the early years to prevent The extremes of policing range from being faced with overwhelming paperwork and administration to acute trauma events and can leave the officer dealing with cumulative stress in all its guises. Allowing a judgment free public debate into this issue will assist police (and other emergency service works) in the future.Originality/valueViewing police officers as victims of their career choice is not common and reviewing the factors that impact them on a daily basis and throughout their career is critical for both prevention and understanding. This paper has value to numerous disciplines.

Optimizing the Nutritional Status of Elementary School-Age Children Through Family Counseling About Children's Sleep Quality: a Literature Review

Sleep quality can be interpreted as a person's satisfaction in his sleep, good sleep quality can make the person feel fresh and fit when he wakes up. Sleep disorders in elementary school children aged 7-11 years in Indonesia as much as 65.3% in 2020. Long term, lack of sleep can cause obesity, depression, and fatigue. Imbalanced nutrition and poor sleep quality lead to inhibition of appetite regulation. Parents have an important role in setting a child's sleep schedule, behavior, and activities. The research design this study was a traditional literature review. The selection of articles in this study used PRISMA Flowchart. Articles searched using search engines (SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, and Google Scholar). Family counseling about the quality of children's sleep can affect the fulfillment of nutritional status. Children's nutritional status is influenced by several factors, such as children's sleep quality, children's physical activity, and children's eating patterns. These three elements must be met so that the nutritional status of children does not decrease and children become overweight or obese. Counseling that can be done is like a "healthy family routine" where it contains the child's sleep hours according to the child's age, the benefits of sleep for children, and parents recognize sleep problems in children, such as external factors (crowd, bed comfort, and noise pollution).

Human Resource Value Creating Practices and Operational Performance in Uganda’s Public Sector

This paper examines the application of human resource (HR) value creating practices and their effect on operational performance in the public sector, with reference to Uganda. Performance remains a challenge in developing countries like Uganda. Moreover, the capability of HR practices to deliver value is little examined. This paper is premised on HR value proposition model and the goal-setting theory to examine HR value creating practices of people, performance, information and work, in view of operational performance in Uganda’s public sector. Using traditional narrative literature review, it is established that HR value creating practices are minimally applied in the public sector of Uganda. Transformative people-management approaches are required by putting stakeholders especially employees, in line of sight if HR practices are to create value and foster operational performance. The paper contributes to the knowledge and application of HR value practices and their effect on operational performance in the public sector. The HR practices in the public sector can through strategic flexibility and transformation be adapted to improve performance.

Method for Conducting Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for Cyber Risk Assessment

This paper presents a method for conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) on cyber risk assessment. A three-staged systematic review was used in this SLR planning, conducting, and reporting the review. Results screening was done by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. EndNote software and PRISMA flow diagram were used as useful tools during this screening process. This SLR method helps to get systematic and in-depth way to get the accurate and precise numbers of literature. It would be useful for researchers to have a new way of finding literature apart from the traditional literature review.

Understanding EFL International Students’ Academic Listening Strategies: A Literature Review

Academic listening and interaction in international educational settings are essential for academic success. International students’ language proficiency and prior practice in their home countries either facilitate or impede their academic success. Thus, internationalization has become a desirable trend among learners to further their studies in overseas institutions where English is the medium of instruction. Overseas education allows international students to gain new knowledge and improve their academic skills in various academic fields. However, a lack of English communicative competence and comprehension impedes learners’ academic and communicative success. As a result, international students look for strategies to help them overcome their academic comprehension challenges. This paper explores and better explains EFL international students’ academic listening challenges and strategies to motivate stakeholders to support international students in furthering their studies overseas. Thus, this paper reviews related literature on academic listening strategies through the traditional literature review process. Therefore, this paper explores and better explains EFL international students’ academic listening challenges and strategies to motivate stakeholders to support international students in furthering their studies overseas. The discussion of findings reveals that international students face challenges with understanding others in academic discourse. These challenges are due to their lack of prior English listening practice in their home countries. Thus, international students rely on strategies to overcome communication challenges and improve academic listening comprehension skills (i.e., memory, cognitive, and social strategies). The findings should encourage administrators of international institutions, researchers, and other stakeholders to revamp pre-sessional English language programs and conduct more research on international students’ language learning experiences to help them succeed in their overseas study programs.

Negotiating Complexity: Challenges to Implementing Community-Led Nature-Based Solutions in England Pre- and Post-COVID-19.

Nature-based solutions (NbS), including green social prescribing (GSP), are sustainable ways to address health and wellbeing, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the strain on healthcare. NbS require national and local cross-sector coordination across complex, interrelated systems, but little is known about the specific challenges this poses for community-led NbS. We carried out a traditional literature review to establish the context and knowledge base for this study and interviewed 26 stakeholders. These came from environment, health and social care sectors at national and local levels, with local-level stakeholders from Bradford and Walsall: English cities significantly affected by the pandemic, with high levels of deprivation and health inequality. The interviews explored experiences of implementing NbS, both pre- and post-pandemic and the resulting renewed interest in the salutogenic effects of engaging with natural environments. We coded the interview transcriptions using NVivo to identify the challenges existing in the systems within which these stakeholders operate to create and manage NbS. By synthesizing what is known about the challenges from existing literature with findings from the interviews, we developed eight categories of challenges (perception and knowledge, political, financial, access to natural spaces, engagement, institutional and organisational, coordination, GSP referral and services) faced by multiple sectors in implementing community-led NbS in England. Furthermore, this study highlights the new challenges related to the pandemic. Identifying these challenges helps stakeholders in existing complex systems recognise what is needed to support and mainstream NbS in England.

Identifying Hyper-Heuristic Trends through a Text Mining Approach on the Current Literature

Hyper-heuristics have arisen as methods that increase the generality of existing solvers. They have proven helpful for dealing with complex problems, particularly those related to combinatorial optimization. Their recent growth in popularity has increased the daily amount of text in the related literature. This information is primarily unstructured, mainly text that traditional computer data systems cannot process. Traditional systematic literature review studies exhibit multiple limitations, including high time consumption, lack of replicability, and subjectivity of the results. For this reason, text mining has become essential for researchers in recent years. Therefore, efficient text mining techniques are needed to extract meaningful information, patterns, and relationships. This study adopts a literature review of 963 journal and conference papers on hyper-heuristic-related works. We first describe the essential text mining techniques, including text preprocessing, word clouds, clustering, and frequent association rule learning in hyper-heuristic publications. With that information, we implement visualization tools to understand the most frequent relations and topics in the hyper-heuristic domain. The main findings highlight the most dominant topics in the literature. We use text mining analysis to find widespread manifestations, representing the significance of the different areas of hyper-heuristics. Furthermore, we apply clustering to provide seven categories showing the associations between the topics related to hyper-heuristic literature. The vast amount of data available that we find opens up a new opportunity for researchers to analyze the status of hyper-heuristics and help create strategic plans regarding the scope of hyper-heuristics. Lastly, we remark that future work will address the limitations of collecting information from multiple data sources and analyze book chapters related to hyper-heuristics.

A Bibliometric Perspective on AI Research for Job-Résumé Matching.

The search for the right person for the right job, or in other words the selection of the candidate who best reflects the skills demanded by employers to perform a specific set of duties in a job appointment, is a key premise of the personnel selection pipeline of recruitment departments. This task is usually performed by human experts who examine the résumé or curriculum vitae of candidates in search of the right skills necessary to fit the vacant position. Recent advances in AI, specifically in the fields of text analytics and natural language processing, have sparked the interest of research on the application of these technologies to help recruiters accomplish this task or part of it automatically, applying algorithms for information extraction, parsing, representation, and matching of résumés and job descriptions, or sections within. In this study, we aim to better understand how the research landscape in this field has evolved. To do this, we follow a multifaceted bibliometric approach aimed at identifying trends, dynamics, structures, and visual mapping of the most relevant topics, highly cited or influential papers, authors, and universities working on these topics, based on a publication record retrieved from Scopus and Google Scholar bibliographic databases. We conclude that, unlike a traditional literature review, the bibliometric-guided approach allowed us to discover a more comprehensive picture of the evolution of research in this subject and to clearly identify paradigm shifts from the earliest stages to the most recent efforts proposed to address this problem.

The Research Venation Analysis and Future Prospects of Organizational Slack

At present, the external environment is full of crises and challenges. The practice of firms deploying slack resources in advance and actively coping with external disturbances has achieved good effect. But, the theoretical research process of organizational slack is relatively slow compared with practice. Therefore, this paper comprehensively applied a bibliometric method and traditional literature review method to carry out scientific econometric analysis on 958 papers from the WoS database. We visualized the results as knowledge maps and analyzed papers with the help of the knowledge graph. The research venation and evolution trend of organizational slack are sorted out from a longitudinal perspective. On this basis, we put forward the future development direction of organizational slack in line with emerging phenomena, mainly including: ① Clarifying the sources of organizational slack; ② Two new dimensions of defensiveness slack and strategic slack are proposed from functional attributes; ③ Based on the perspective of active response, we expand the research depth of firms to construct organizational resilience through organization slack to adapt to uncertain environments. The purpose of this paper is to provide new ideas for firms to make plans before turbulence occurs in highly uncertain environments. It provides a useful reference for the future development of organizational slack research and promotes the formation of a virtuous cycle of mutual promotion between theory and practice.
