The article identifies the problem of developing University teachers’ skills of how to apply research strategies to study the conditions in which hybrid learning at the university would be successful. It is shown that the spread of hybrid methodology in higher education has led to the complication in educational process realization and required teachers to search for appropriate teaching tools and methods serving to handle the new challenges. The issue of hybrid learning organization at the university is one of the most widely discussed and urgent in modern education. The spread of hybrid methodology in higher education has led to the complication in educational process realization and required teachers to search for appropriate teaching tools and methods serving to handle the new challenges. Moreover, it required teachers to develop their educational design skills, skills of evaluation and research skills to study hybrid educational practice. The purpose of the paper is to explain the foundation and describe the research strategies that University teachers need to successfully organize and implement hybrid learning. In accordance with the key focus of University teachers’ activity (solving professional issues), there are four types of research strategies: a strategy aimed at researching the external environment and the surrounding society; a strategy aimed at researching the subject of education; a strategy aimed at researching the activities of the subject of education; a strategy aimed at researching the teacher personality and their activities. Hybrid learning organization calls for a teacher’s ability to use research strategies and analysis techniques as a key element in finding the answers to the questions about what is happening, why it is happening, what could happen, what should be done. The article was prepared within the fundamental research of State Assignment implementation on the topic “Professional competence of a teacher for the implementation of hybrid learning” (Supplementary Agreement of the Ministry of Education of Russia and the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education “OMSPU” No. 073-03-2022-035/3 от 08.06.2022).

Proteome-Scale Detection of Differential Conservation Patterns at Protein and Subprotein Levels with BLUR.

In the multiomics era, comparative genomics studies based on gene repertoire comparison are increasingly used to investigate evolutionary histories of species, to study genotype–phenotype relations, species adaptation to various environments, or to predict gene function using phylogenetic profiling. However, comparisons of orthologs have highlighted the prevalence of sequence plasticity among species, showing the benefits of combining protein and subprotein levels of analysis to allow for a more comprehensive study of genotype/phenotype correlations. In this article, we introduce a new approach called BLUR (BLAST Unexpected Ranking), capable of detecting genotype divergence or specialization between two related clades at different levels: gain/loss of proteins but also of subprotein regions. These regions can correspond to known domains, uncharacterized regions, or even small motifs. Our method was created to allow two types of research strategies: 1) the comparison of two groups of species with no previous knowledge, with the aim of predicting phenotype differences or specializations between close species or 2) the study of specific phenotypes by comparing species that present the phenotype of interest with species that do not. We designed a website to facilitate the use of BLUR with a possibility of in-depth analysis of the results with various tools, such as functional enrichments, protein–protein interaction networks, and multiple sequence alignments. We applied our method to the study of two different biological pathways and to the comparison of several groups of close species, all with very promising results. BLUR is freely available at http://lbgi.fr/blur/.

An integrative literature review of small food store research across urban and rural communities in the U.S.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this review was to identify how rural and urban food access differs across small food stores as well as the types of research strategies and methodologies that have been applied in each setting in the U.S.MethodsManuscripts were included in the review if they were published in English over the past ten years, with a clear delineation between urban and/or rural, conducted in the U.S., and reported data from small food store research.ResultsAfter elimination, 19 manuscripts representing rural (n = 5) and urban (n = 14) settings were included in the final review. The review was conducted in Nebraska between January 2015 and May 2015. Findings from the reviewed manuscripts revealed that rural communities might face different challenges with healthy food access in small food stores when compared to urban settings. In particular, small food stores in rural areas lacked healthy food options largely because storeowners perceived that their customers would not purchase healthier items and due to challenges with distribution. Conversely, studies reporting on small food stores in urban areas suggest challenges with transportation and safety concerns.ConclusionResearch on small food stores is nascent and further research, especially intervention studies, is needed. Further, less evidence exists on healthy food access, in particular intervention testing on small food store research in rural areas.

SOA implementation critical success factors in healthcare

PurposeService oriented architecture (SOA) is increasingly adopted by many sectors, including healthcare. Due to the nature of healthcare systems, there is a need to increase SOA adoption success rates as the non‐integrated nature of healthcare systems is responsible for medical errors that cause the loss of tens of thousands of patients per year. Although numerous factors affect SOA success, these have not been explored and analysed yet, especially in the area of healthcare. This highlights a literature void and thus the purpose of this paper is to identify critical success factors (CSFs) influencing SOA implementation in healthcare.Design/methodology/approachThe authors critically review the literature and identify individual factors that may form CSFs for SOA implementation in healthcare. In doing so, they synthesise and propose a conceptual model of SOA CSFs in healthcare. The conceptual model is tested in the practical arena using a qualitative research methodology that is based on a case study strategy.FindingsThe empirical findings verify the proposed model and reveal that an additional SOA CSF in healthcare does exist. It is also revealed that the proposed model helped the case organization to successfully implement an SOA solution.Research limitations/implicationsThe implications that derive from this article are important for both theory and practice. At a practical level, the paper delivers a model that can be used as a decision‐making tool by professionals when they implement SOA solutions in healthcare. At a theoretical level, the proposed model extends the body of knowledge on this area and opens new avenues for research. From another point of view, it is suggested that further research is required on this area as the proposed conceptual model was tested only through a single case study. Thus, multiple case studies or other types of research strategies should be used to better test the proposed model.Originality/valueThis work is original and focuses on CSFs related to SOA implementations in healthcare organizations. The work can be considered as novel as it identifies and classifies SOA CSFs for solutions that have been developed in the area of healthcare.

Publish together or perish: the increasing number of authors per article in academic journals is the consequence of a changing scientific culture. Some researchers define authorship quite loosely.

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, No grand idea was ever born in a conference – an allusion to the tendency of groups to overdiscuss the ideas of their members. Literary writers compose their works alone, not in collaboration with others. For scientists, the situation is rather different: in medicine, for example, group authorship is the rule, and single-author publications in academic journals are the exception. Publish or perish, the familiar guiding principle of academic life, seems to have been transformed into a new principle, Publish together or perish. This is a trend of the last few decades. The mean number of authors of scientific reviews or original articles in Deutsches Arzteblatt has risen from 1 in 1957 to 3.55 last year (figure 1). Figures from other journals confirm the trend: in Der Nervenarzt, a German journal of neurology and psychiatry, the mean number of authors per article was 1.1 in 1930, 1.4 by the late 1960s, and 3.4 for the five-year period from 1996 to 2000 (1). A similar development can be observed in English-language periodicals. For example, the mean number of authors per original article in the British Medical Journal rose from 3.2 in 1975 to 4.5 twenty years later (2). This trend has continued without interruption to the present, as shown in figure 2 with figures from five further journals (3). Figure 1 The trend in the number of authors per article in Deutsches Arzteblatt over the past 50 years. The figures depicted on the graph are the mean numbers of authors of original and review articles (value for 1957: 1; for 2007: 3.55 authors). Figure 2 The trend in the mean number of authors per article in various medical journals over the 10-year period from 1995 to 2005. The figures depicted on the graph are the mean numbers of authors of original and review articles (including case reports); editorials, ... How can this increase be explained? Over the past two decades, the number of physicians at German medical schools – a large majority of the authors of medical articles in Germany work in university hospitals or in preclinical teaching and research institutions – has risen only slightly. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, the number rose by a bit more than one-tenth from 1991 to 2006, from 22 000 to 24 500 (approximate figures). This might be a reason for the larger number of publications originating from German medical schools (4), just as the increased number of medical publications worldwide is surely due, at least in part, to the increased number of medical scientists (5). With more potential authors available, it would be reasonable to expect more articles to be published, but the observed rise in the number of authors per article still demands an explanation. Furthermore, the 56-percent increase in this variable from 1991 to 2006 (taking Deutsches Arzteblatt as an example) vastly exceeds the increase in the number of medical scientists. The main reason for the increased number of authors per article is presumably to be found in the type of research strategy that currently prevails in science. Collaboration increasingly seems to be the prerequisite for discovery; in other words, the scientific team has largely replaced the old ideal of the brilliant researcher working alone.

Biotechnology and synthetic chemistry: Routes to clinically important natural products

Abstract

Parent-child interaction in the etiology of dependent and self-critical depression

The role of caring parent-child relationships in the development of depression has been investigated in three types of research strategies: (a) the study of secure and insecure attachment patterns in infants and young children; (b) the study of depressed mother-child interactions based on the assumption that the caring patterns in these families of children at risk for depression could contribute to the understanding of the etiology of depression; and (c) the study of normal and depressed adults' retrospective accounts of early caring experiences with their parents. A major conclusion from all three research methodologies is that mental representations or internal working models of attachment of care-giving relationships are central constructs in understanding the development of a vulnerability to depression. Secure and disturbed patterns of caring relationships are internalized by the child as mental representations; impaired mental representations based on disturbed relationships can create a vulnerability to later depression. There are suggestions that an anxious or ambivalent insecure attachment may lead to a depression focused on issues of dependency, loss, and abandonment, whereas an avoidant insecure attachment may result in a depression focused on issues of self-worth and self-criticism, with angry feelings directed toward both the caregiver and toward the self. Indications of possible critical periods in the development of vulnerability to depression are also considered.
