Study on Function and Appearance Design of Smart Street Lamps Based on Kansei Engineering: A Literature Review

The potential of smart cities to alleviate the challenges of urban development in relation to population, resources, and environment is widely recognized, making it a key urban development trend for the future. Smart street lamps (SSLs) are a crucial component of smart city infrastructure. However, their current unreasonable function settings and appearance design do not meet the emotional needs of residents and come at a high construction cost, resulting in decreased user satisfaction. Based on WOS and CNKI databases, 39 literatures on the aspects of theory, steps and technologies of KE, 32 literatures on the development, basic functions, construction, existing problems, and key technologies of SSLs, and 6 papers on street lamps functions or appearance design research based on KE be reviewed in this paper. Therefore, the application of KE method in SSL design be extensively reviewed, with emphasis on the future development direction of KE, the design principles of SSLs, and the implementation of KE in SSL design. This review aims to summarize the research gaps, future research directions, and future development trends of KE and SSL. Ultimately, the review concludes that the integration of KE in SSL design research is crucial to improve SSL products’ rationality, openness, and amicability, guided by scientific SSL design principles.

Ethical issues in the operating room: A scoping review.

For the patients receiving care in the operating room, it emphasizes that the ethical behavior and attitude of health professionals should be aligned with patients' basic human rights. Surgical ethics may provide an ethical alternative in a specific operating room context. However, it is unclear how actively research is being conducted in this regard. This study determines the direction of future research by identifying ethical issues experienced in the operating room. This scoping review is based on the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O'Malley in 2005. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, WOS, Cochrane, KISS, and KMbase databases were searched from January 2012 to May 2022. Two researchers independently screened the searched articles by reviewing the titles, abstracts, and full texts. Consequently, 19 studies were selected. Five categories were identified: Professional ethics, Organizational ethics, Patients' rights, Patient safety, and Allocating resources. The derived categories covered all the same content as the International Council of Nurses' (ICN) code of ethics, with the exception of one element, that is, global health. This study highlights ethical issues in the operating theatre and emphasizes the need for individual and organizational strategies aligned with the ICN code of ethics. Future research should cover a wider range of issues, employ diverse perspectives and methodologies, and enhance ethical practices to improve understanding and ethical practices in the field.

Nöropsikoloji Alanında Yapılan Akademik Çalışmaların Son 20 Yılı Üzerine Bir Bibliyometrik Analiz

Bibliometric analysis is an analysis study that examines the developments and academic studies in a field to be examined with methods such as common word analysis, citation analysis, bibliometric matching. When bibliometric analysis is applied in a very comprehensive field such as neuropsychology, it provides a good road map for researchers to determine the areas they will work in. However, when the literature on psychology and its subfields is reviewed, it is seen that the number of bibliometric analysis studies is quite low. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the last 20 years of academic studies in the field of neuropsychology. For this purpose, in the first stage of the research, articles on "neorupsychology" were searched in the WoS database, and the fields of psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, experimental psychology, behavioral sciences, developmental psychology, pediatrics, educational psychology, neuroimaging, biological psychology, social psychology, applied psychology and psychoanalytic psychology, which were considered to be most related to the field of neuropsychology, were selected. Common word analysis and social network analysis were performed on the articles containing the related words, and concept maps were created to enable visualization. Accordingly, it was observed that words such as "schizophrenia", "psychosis", "depression" lost their influence, albeit slowly, while words such as "assessment", "performance validity", "clinical neuropsychology", "rehabilitaion" increased their influence. It can be said that current studies in the field of neuropsychology have shifted away from focusing on a specific clinical condition and towards studies that include neuropsychological assessments and rehabilitation approaches.

Health Education Intervention Programs in Early Childhood Education: A Systematic Review

Adult health behavior is established and formed in childhood, in which, besides the primacy of the family, institutional education plays a significant role. The aim of our systematic review is to analyze health interventions implemented in an institutional environment for children aged 3–6 years. Our research was carried out according to the PRISMA 2020 protocol. The sample of research was determined by using the keywords “health education” or “health promotion” and “preschool” or “kindergarten” in Scopus, ERIC and WOS databases published between 2013 and 2022. Out of a total of 1535 results, 14 proved to be relevant to the eligibility criteria of the study topic. Cochrane Risk of Bias criteria were used for critical appraisal and to limit bias. The majority of the analyzed studies focused on physical activity and nutrition, including the issues of sedentary time, obesity and sustainability. The holistic approach is less typical in the interventions reviewed, with a marginal occurrence of topics related to mental and social health, as well as risk behavior. The interventions proved to be more effective when parents were involved, and the varied, age-appropriate game-based activities also contributed to the formation of health-supporting habits.

The Relationship Between Vertigo/Dizziness and Somatoform Complaints: A Systematic Review.

To systematically synthesize published literature on somatoform complaints as psychological factors in vertigo/dizziness to determine the characteristics of comorbidities, relationships and causality. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches of PubMed, WOS, and Cochrane Library databases and manual follow-up reference searches were performed for articles published in English up to 2021. All original research studies and retrospective or prospective studies focusing on the relationship between vertigo/dizziness and somatoform complaints/somatization were systematically retrieved. Studies that did not include data on the association between somatoform complaints/somatization and vertigo/dizziness were excluded, as were reviews, comments, case reports, editorials, letters, and practice guidelines. Extracted data included research type, number of participants, assessment tools for vertigo/dizziness and somatoform complaints/somatization, statistical methods, and the main results. The quality of included studies was evaluated. Records identified through database searching n = 1238. After removing duplicates and unrelated articles based on abstract and title search, 155 articles recorded as relevant. Except for the 5 articles, title and abstract of all records screened and 88 of them excluded. Critically evaluating those full texts, 28 studies included. The present study highlights the relationship between the vertigo/dizziness and somatoform complaints/somatization. It is determined that somatoform complaints of the individuals suffering from vertigo/dizziness is highly prevelant and some other factor such as personality characteristics or accompanying psychopathology have affect on the prevelance. The main results of all reviewed studies emphasize the requirement for assessment and intervention of vertigo/dizziness, in collaboration with the department of psychiatry.

A Holistic Investigation of the Relationship between Digital Addiction and Academic Achievement among Students.

Digital addiction (DA), an umbrella term referring to addiction to any type of digital media, such as the internet, smartphone, digital games, and social media, is a significant factor influencing students' academic achievement (AA). Many scholars have contributed to this line of research from around the world. Nevertheless, the literature lacks a holistic investigation of how the DA-AA research field evolved, which could guide future studies. The current study aims to address this void and conducts a combined bibliometric and science mapping analysis of research addressing the relationship between DA and AA. Data were retrieved from the WoS database, considered one of the optimal databases for such studies with its comprehensive coverage of quality journals. One hundred eighteen articles were included in the final dataset and were analyzed using the SciMAT software, which allowed analysis over three consecutive periods and yielded comparable results regarding the conceptual and thematic evolution of the DA-AA domain. The results indicated an increased research interest in the topic, especially during the last five years. The science mapping analysis showed that the most-studied types of addiction were smartphone addiction for the first two periods and social media addiction for the last. Research in the DA-AA domain which focused on understanding the addictive use of smartphones during the first period, evolved to address factors such as self-efficacy or life satisfaction leading to smartphone addiction and lower grades. During the third period, the number of factors addressed gained significant variety and covered family-related and personal factors.

An overview of mindfulness theories applied to tourism: systematic review update and bibliometric analysis

This paper presents a systematic review update regarding mindfulness theories applied to tourism, complemented with a bibliometric analysis. Scientific studies listed in the WOS, SCOPUS, PubMed and PsycInfo databases were analysed using PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-five studies were selected for review from 670 records identified. In recent years, mindfulness has proved to be a promising area of research in tourism, and the number of published studies is increasing. The findings reveal a positive association between mindfulness and tourism experiences, suggesting that tourists who adopt states of mindfulness during their travels benefit from increased pro-environmental behaviours, satisfaction levels, and memorable experiences, leading to destination loyalty. This study provides an in-depth overview of the literature, and helps redress the lack of bibliometric studies in this field. It also identifies common areas of current research interest, offers insights into commonly studied themes, and seeks to raise awareness about the relevance of the concept of mindfulness in tourist experiences and well-being by suggesting implications for research and tourism management.

Organic or Inorganic Zinc for Laying Hens? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Effects of Zinc Sources on Laying Performance, Egg Quality, and Zinc Excretion.

The higher availability of zinc (Zn) from organic than inorganic sources is already established, but more assertive and cost-friendly protocols on the total replacement of inorganic with organic Zn sources for laying hens still need to be developed. Because some discrepancy in the effects of this replacement in laying hen diets is noticeable in the literature, the objective of this meta-analysis was to properly quantify the effect size of total replacing inorganic Zn with organic Zn in the diet of laying hens on their laying performance, egg quality, and Zn excretion. A total of 2340 results were retrieved from Pubmed, Scielo, Scopus, WOS, and Science Direct databases. Of these, 18 primary studies met all the eligibility criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the replacement of inorganic Zn with organic Zn, regardless of other factors, improved (p < 0.01) egg production by 1.46%, eggshell thickness by 0.01 mm, and eggshell resistance by 0.11 kgf/cm2. Positive results of the same nutritional strategy on egg weight and Zn excretion were only observed at specific conditions, especially when organic Zn was supplemented alone in the feed, not combined with other organic minerals. Therefore, there is evidence in the literature that the total replacement of inorganic Zn with organic Zn improves egg production, eggshell thickness, and eggshell resistance. Factors such as hen age and genetics, organic Zn source, concentration of Zn in the feed, and the strategy of its supplementation have to be more carefully considered in protocols designed to address egg weight and Zn excretion by the hen.

Introduction. At present, there is a need to train scientific personnel professionally oriented toward using modern Internet technologies. The research on the international experience of professionally oriented communication will make it possible to reveal the technologies of Internet socialization of youth and rethink the value of social networks for professional pedagogy. The aim of the study is to analyze the international experience of Internet socialization of young people and their professionally oriented communication on social networks. Materials and methods. To conduct the analysis, the authors used the Scopus and WoS databases and other international information systems, the Dimensions.ai and Lens.org services, and the VOSviewer software for building bibliometric data and analyzing the emergence of the terminological apparatus in world-class publications on the study topic. Results. The results of the search and critical rethinking of the international experience of Internet socialization of young people and their professionally oriented communication on social networks allowed using the theoretical findings of the international scientific community to rethink and refine the conceptual apparatus of professional pedagogy focused on the use of Internet-oriented technologies. The level of publication activity was also changing: there were more publications at the peak of activity and a stronger decline thereafter. For instance, in 2017, there were 900 publications, while in 2018 and 2019, publication activity decreased by 15%, stopping at the mark of 800 publications per year. In 2021, the number of publications fell by another 25% to 607 publications. The distribution map of publications made it possible to reveal the main areas of research on the problem of Internet socialization: psychology (3074 publications for the whole period), social psychology (1144 publications) and sociology (1911 publications), computer science (866 publications), and pedagogy (836 publications). Conclusion. The presented analysis of the international experience of Internet socialization of youth made it possible to identify professionally oriented technologies for the professional communication of the young generation, such as social networks, professional communities, professional Internet resources, videoconferencing systems, open education systems, distance learning technologies, Internet of Things technologies, freelancing, and remote internships.

Meta-analysis: reducing the recurrence rate of allergic rhinitis through oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine.

A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out to investigate the medical evidence of oral Chinese herbal medicine in reducing the recurrence of allergic rhinitis (AR). Through computer retrieval of PubMed, ScienceDirect, WOS, and other databases, relevant randomized controlled literature was obtained based on the inclusion criteria and retrieval strategies. The retrieval time was set from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. The bias of the literature was evaluated using the bias evaluation module in Cochrane Manual Version 5.1.0, and the meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan software to verify the effectiveness of oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its impact on reducing the recurrence rate. The meta-analysis included 7 articles. In the meta-analysis of all articles, the effective treatment rate of oral administration of TCM reached 97.09%. Additionally, when comparing the recurrence rate of AR between patients taking Chinese medicine orally and other treatment groups, the recurrence rate of patients taking Chinese medicine orally was only 24.46%, which was significantly lower (p<0.05). Furthermore, the quality of life of patients taking Chinese medicine orally after treatment was significantly higher than that of patients in the control group (C), indicating the good safety of oral Chinese medicine. Oral administration of TCM has demonstrated an effective reduction in the recurrence rate of AR, offering patients a good prognosis. This finding holds significant value for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AR.

Malacoplakia of the urinary bladder: case report and systematic review

Introduction: Malacoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease that commonly affects the urinary bladder, and it is characterized by the presence of large cells containing vacuoles known as Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. Case report: A 79-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department a poorly defined with symptoms of fever, dysuria, hematuria, and pain and swelling in her right knee. Microbiological studies indicated the presence of Escherichia coli in blood cultures, urine cultures, and synovial fluid cultures of the right knee. A computed tomography scan revealed nonspecific bladder thickening, which was further confirmed by a cystoscopy. A poorly defined lesion in the trigone was resected, and subsequent pathological examination revealed the presence of malacoplakia without evidence of malignancy. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy, and the hematuria eventually resolved. Systematic review: We conducted a comprehensive search in the Medline, EMBASE, and WoS databases from January 1, 1993, to January 1, 2023, for articles that focused on Malacoplakia, involved human subjects. Were included 32 articles reporting on 35 cases of urinary bladder malacoplakia. The majority of those diagnosed with bladder malacoplakia were women under the age of 50, with recurrent urinary tract infections and immunosuppressive conditions as frequent comorbidities. Positive cultures showed Escherichia coli (E. coli) in 72% of cases. Successful outcomes were achieved in 26 cases (74.3%). Discussion: Malacoplakia is triggered by an inadequate immune system response to lower urinary tract infections. Diagnosis requires prior biopsies before resection or more aggressive treatments. Appropriate treatment of urinary tract infections with antibiotics targeted at gram-negative bacteria is essential for treating malacoplakia.

A bibliometric analysis of situational interest research

AbstractInterest is a variable that assists students in acquiring knowledge and instructors in creating an encouraging classroom environment. Situational interest, on the other hand, is a type of interest that will assist students' interest to develop by organising environmental conditions. The research on situational interest has been ongoing for more than two decades, and the bibliometric information of this research has grown. The current research aims to examine trends and advances to assist researchers in understanding the perspective of situational interest research. The bibliometric analysis was conducted with Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The current study analysed WoS data about the meta‐information of 573 published articles on situational interest. The results obtained from the WoS database reveal a growing interest in applying situational interest. Bradford's law results show that 195 articles published in 15 journals were in Zone 1. The result of Lotka's law explained that theoretical and observed research data fit. Education‐related keywords such as achievement, motivation, text, recall, comprehension, and other education‐related variables such as self‐efficacy and design, gender, college students, biology, and context have been placed under the basic theme that is most relevant and developing. It can be said that other results of the current study guide authors about situational interest research. Context and implicationsRationale for this studyThe studies on situational interest have increased over the last two decades, but there are few reviews of situational interest publications. This study has examined trends and advances in the studies to assist researchers in understanding the perspective of situational interest research with bibliometric analysis.Why the new findings matterThe findings have highlighted trends and advances in the scientific output of situational interest with bibliometric analysis.Implications for practitionersIn addition to revealing the trends and advances in situational interest research, the findings can help to focus more on some emerging research themes that can guide future situational interest researchers. According to findings, the recent research of situational interest focuses on cognitive load, motivation, achievement, and emerging technology such as augmented reality technology. The Four‐Phase Model of Interest Development is the most popular document among situational interest research to understand situational interest. The results show that researchers had an international collaboration from different countries and different institutions.

Disparities in Stroke Incidence Over Time by Sex and Age in Latin America and the Caribbean Region 1997 to 2021: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background High-income country studies show unfavorable trends in stroke incidence (SI) in younger populations. We aimed to estimate temporal change in SI disaggregated by age and sex in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Methods and Results A search strategy was used in MEDLINE, WOS, and LILACS databases from 1997 to 2021, including prospective population-based observational studies with first-ever stroke incidence in Latin America. Reports without data broken down by age and sex were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed with The Joanna Briggs Institute's guide. The main outcomes were incidence rate ratio and relative temporal trend ratio of SI, comparing time periods before 2010 with after 2010. Pooled relative temporal trend ratios considering only studies with 2 periods in the same population were calculated by random-effects meta-analysis. Meta-regression analysis was used to evaluate incidence rate determinants. From 9242 records identified, 6 studies were selected including 4483 first-ever stroke in 4 101 084 individuals. Crude incidence rate ratio in younger subjects (<55 years) comparing before 2010:after 2010 periods showed an increase in SI in the past decade (incidence rate ratio, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.23-1.50]), in contrast to a decrease in older people during the same period (incidence rate ratio, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.76-0.89]). Overall relative temporal trend ratio (<55:≥55 years) was 1.65 (95 CI%, 1.50-1.80), with higher increase in young women (pooled relative temporal trend ratio, 3.08 [95% CI, 1.18-4.97]; P for heterogeneity <0.001). Conclusions An unfavorable change in SI in young people, especially in women, was detected in population-based studies in the past decade in Latin America and the Caribbean. Further investigation of the explanatory variables is required to ameliorate stroke prevention and inform local decision-makers.

Intraoperative Fluorophores: An Update on 5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Sodium Fluorescein in Resection of Tumors of the Central Nervous System and Metastatic Lesions-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Recent advances in tumor visualization have improved the extent of resection (EOR) of primary and secondary tumors of the central nervous system, while limiting the morbidity and mortality of the surgery. One area of recent interest has been the use of intraoperative fluorophores for tumor visualization such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala) and sodium fluorescein. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the utility of fluorophore administration and EOR with each fluorophore to update the current literature. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the use of intraoperative 5-ala or fluorescein between 2021 and 2023 using the PubMed, SCOPUS, and WOS databases. The initial search yielded 8688 results. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were met, 44 studies remained for review. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the EOR between studies for each fluorophore and to compare the presence of intraoperative fluorescence by tumor type. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated for gross total resection (GTR), and two-way ANOVA tests were performed to compare rates of intraoperative fluorescence by fluorophore and tumor type. In all groups except low-grade glioma, fluorescence was present after 5-ala administration; fluorescence was present for all groups after fluorescein administration. Two-way ANOVA analysis for both fluorophores demonstrated no statistically significant difference in presence of fluorescence between type of tumor resected. Meta-analysis of EOR did show a higher, but not significant, rate of GTR in the 5-ala group compared to controls (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.49; 3.37). In the fluorescein group, there were statistically significant higher odds of GTR compared to the control group (OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.43; 3.10, I2 = 0%). Both 5-ala and sodium fluorescein demonstrated intraoperative fluorescence among various tumor types in both cranial and spinal tumors, as well as efficacy in improving EOR. Both fluorophores merit further investigation for use in surgery of CNS tumors.

Blockchain Technology Applied to Supply Chain Management: A Systems’ Analysis

Blockchain technology can be used to record real data at various nodes in the entire supply chain and can achieve timely data sharing and full traceability of the whole lifecycle of products in the supply chain. This study conducts a systematic literature review based on the WOS database, focusing on the research topic of the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management. We propose clear search and screening criteria based on 4 research questions and finally obtain 591 target studies. We conduct a detailed study on the distribution of the target literature in this research area, country/region, institution, and journal. Different countries/regions cooperate with each other and, thus, are clustered into five significant countries regions’ cooperation networks. There is a strong coupling relationship between research institutions, forming four major institutional cooperation networks. According to the analysis of those papers with a high number of citations, most of such papers were published in 2019, while the cross-citation phenomenon between papers occurred more frequently in 2021 and 2022. We use VOSviewer for visual coupling analysis of all keywords, which are automatically clustered into three research hotspots. Using CiteSpace to perform timeline-based keyword cooccurrence analysis, we find that scholars have gone through a “discovery-acceptance-question-improvement” process for the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management. According to the intensity and duration of burst detection words in different years, we draw three key points for future research. (i) Blockchain technology should be used to restructure and optimize the high-end food and medical cold chain supply chains. (ii) Blockchain technology should be used to enhance the cooperative relationship between supply chain members and the overall competitiveness of the supply chain. (iii) Innovate blockchain encryption technology that should be used to reduce the risk of information and privacy leakage in the supply chain.
