Full textAbstract:
In a bibliometric study of references to indexing and abstracting from 1876 to 1976 a total of 2,381 references in Wellisch’s Indexing and abstracting: an international bibliography were analysed by a PL/1 program. Most of the articles (67%) appeared as journal papers. The Bradford-Zipf law was applied to investigate the journal literature. Thirteen core journals were identified, six of which emphasize the subject of indexing and abstracting. Lotka’s law was used to measure the productivity of authors. The vast majority, 1,533 out of 1,966 authors, contributed only one article. The leading authors and their active life in this subject were also studied. English is the predominant language of articles on indexing and abstracting.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzed citations in four journals, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Cartography and Geographic Information Science, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, and Cartographic Journal, using Bradford’s Law of Scattering to identify three influence zones indicating core and peripheral titles in the study areas of GIS. Journals were ranked resulting in twenty-three core journals and 187 secondary journals. Scores for relevant indexing/abstracting services are also given to describe access points and coverage. The results can assist librarians and collection managers to support research in their institutions where GIS is both used and studied.

Full textAbstract:
This review of literature presents the accuracy level of references in journal articles related to domain of medical science and its allied subjects. Peer-reviewed journals, which are being indexed in international citation databases and possess high impact factor, have reference errors. Not only journal articles but also the PubMed database contains bibliographic errors. Due to faulty references, task of indexing and abstracting of authors and articles in citation databases becomes troublesome. The high level of reference accuracy makes the scientific writings more reliable and useful which further moves towards the high quality scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
Reference accuracy is important for good science. Cited references must be verifiable and accessible to the readers, reviewers, and editors. When the source cannot be found, it raises question of the quality of the manuscript, and also undermine the credibility of the journal (and editors). Almost all the domains of peer-reviewed medical journal literature report errors in referencing and citations which affect indexing, abstracting, and publication metrics. Citation is properly referring to information presented by others’ and provides authenticity to own work by directing readers to the sources.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional science and technology literature search mainly provides users with reliable and detailed information materials and services through technical means, data resources, and service strategies. With the development of network technology, computer technology, and information technology, digital information resources are increasing day by day, which continuously impact the traditional knowledge service mode. Some traditional technical methods and service means can no longer meet the information needs of users under large data sets. This paper proposes a model of large-scale literature search service in the context of big data by studying the technical means and service modes used for scientific and technical literature search in universities in the era of big data. Specifically, this paper proposes a method for fast literature retrieval by combining R-tree indexing for the characteristics of diverse data types and large data volume of science and technology literature. The method uses an improved k-mean clustering algorithm to construct an R-tree clustering model and improve the retrieval efficiency of the system by retrieving scientific and technical literature data through R-tree indexing. Experiments on university science and technology literature datasets show that the method in this paper improves both efficiency and precision when searching literature.

Full textAbstract:
Following the FAB Supplemental Meetings held 21-23 June 2010 at the Getty Research Institute (GRI), there was general agreement that two prototype applications should be built to provide new ideas and technical approaches to compare/contrast to the artlibraries.net model. Jim Michalko, Vice President of OCLC Research, agreed that OCLC would build a prototype modeling a group catalog of art history libraries within the OCLC membership, while the GRI committed to building one on a Solr/Lucene platform that combined heterogeneous data sources from some of the FAB members. The resulting prototypes were publicly demonstrated at the artlibraries.net Users Group Meeting in Lisbon in October 2010. Other articles in this issue detail the deficiencies of the current bibliographic model and the information needs of the 21st-century art history scholar. The prototype development was based upon and informed by these issues, and sought to define possible technical solutions to overcome some of these inadequacies. The prototypes must also extend the paradigm of bibliography being contained within an abstracting and indexing construct, and move towards a concept of ‘complete bibliography’.

The manuscript should contain an abstract. The abstract should be self-contained, citation-free, and should not exceed 200 words. An abstract is a summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purpose. When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript or typescript, acting as the point-of-entry for any given academic paper or patent application. Abstracting and indexing services for various academic disciplines are aimed at compiling a body of literature for that particular subject.

This article examines two decades of scholarly literature on discrimination and two decades of discussion of discrimination in economics textbooks. At first discrimination was taken seriously and policy responses adequate to the problem were advocated. Today this is a minority position. The article first traces the way that JEL policies concerning indexing and abstracting have contributed to this change. Next textbooks are analyzed to show how this change is manifested in commonly used curricular materials. Finally, political preferences are shown to undergird crucial arguments like those concerning minimum wages. Conclusions linking ideology to research agendas are put forward.

My favorite quote about electronic access to periodicals: “electronic full text periodicals are already a big deal” is interesting particularly because the statement was made in October 1992. Four years later, during the 1996/1997 academic year, electronic full text access also was having widespread impact on State University of New York (SUNY) campuses. Adding access to electronic periodical articles in libraries is not always as simple as selecting new paper titles and funding the subscription is only one of the issues. In this article, I will explore some of the most pressing issues facing libraries that choose to implement electronic full text periodical subscriptions including implementation, technical, ongoing support, and archival concerns. I will also discuss libraries' experiences in implementing full text access to periodical titles via traditional abstracting and indexing services focusing on the experiences of SUNY librarians.

Purpose Performed over a five-year time horizon, this paper aims to analyze the progression rates of technological innovation across 15 sub-provincial Chinese cities. The authors quantify and rate innovation performance, then rank the cities based on a purpose-built index designed to gauge the rate of technological progress. Design/methodology/approach Using the inferior constraint method, and a variety of national sources of data, the authors construct an innovation index based in part on new product sales revenue, proportion of college students, research and development expenditure of industrial enterprises in relation to gross industrial output value, contract deals in technical markets per capita, hazard-free treatment rate of waste, enterprises with technical development agencies accounts for industrial enterprises, number of high-tech enterprises and invention patent ownership per million population. Findings The findings provide a methodology for indexing cities, with 15 Chinese provincial cities as examples. Among the top five cities with the highest technological innovation index were Shenzhen, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Wuhan. In the bottom were Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian, Xi’an and Harbin. Research limitations/implications This study applied a new model of innovation at the city level for China. Application to other industries (real estate, manufacturing, etc.) and countries will extend boundaries of this model and show its wider applicability. Practical implications Companies can use this research and methodology when seeking new investments in high tech and innovative products. Locations offering more hospitable environments should be prioritized ceteris paribus. Originality/value One weakness of much of the international business and competitiveness literature is that it often views the country as the primary unit of analysis. In this way, nuanced views of the institutional environments within countries are often overlooked. This paper proposes a measure of regional rates of innovativeness across China.

Full textAbstract:
Tertiary programmes for teaching online searching consist typically of the components of an online search system, different categories of databases, overview of database hosts and their search facilities, methods to create search strategies and command languages, to name but a few. Practical experience, an integral component, is gained by searching interactively on one or more database hosts, where the emphasis is on search techniques rather than the intrinsic characteristics of the databases of the specific system. The extent of students' hands‐on experience invariably depends on the teaching unit's budget, which may preclude extensive ‘live’ exposure. However, the technical facilities and shared resources of a local area network (LAN) are likely to have a significant effect on the traditional teaching methods of online searching. It is now possible, in a LAN environment, to integrate the various information retrieval activities, for example creating and searching personal or local databases, utilising these for indexing, abstracting and thesaurus building, searching locally on CDROM databases which simulate the search facilities and command languages of commercial database hosts and, when the need arises, accessing their external ‘online’ counterparts. This article will demonstrate how the limited concept of ‘online searching’ is broadened when a LAN and local databases are utilised in the online teaching process.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe difficulty of attributing subject to editorial cartoons for indexing purposes exists both for traditional paper-based cartoon formats and for digitized or born-digital cartoons. This paper presents a selective review of literature on indexing editorial cartoons and the associated challenges.Design/methodology/approachA gap exists in published research on indexing collections of editorial cartoons for online search and retrieval. This paper presents a review of selected works that specifically address the topic of editorial cartoon indexing within a wider context of research that addresses image indexing, subject analysis and indexing challenges more generally. Works that address the interpretation of cartoons by readers and how readers respond to information communicated by editorial cartoons are also considered.FindingsCartoon controversies in transnational and multicultural contexts, experienced through the international news media since 2000, have dramatically increased research attention and publications in this area. Profound changes in media publication since the advent of the Internet have had an impact on editorial cartoonists and cartoon publishing. Subject indexing of editorial cartoons remains a challenge.Research limitations/implicationsThe potential for large indexed cartoon collections to be data-mined for topic modeling for research in the social sciences points to the need for indexers of cartoon collections to improve metadata standards and structures to allow improved access to cartoon metadata for computational analysis.Originality/valueThis paper places discussion of the technical challenges facing indexers of editorial cartoons within a broader context of discussions about the nature and future of editorial cartooning in rapidly changing media and publishing environments.

A review of:
Line, Maurice B. “The Information Uses and Needs of Social Scientists: An Overview of INFROSS.” Aslib Proceedings 23.8 (1971): 412-34. Rpt. in Lines of Thought: Selected Papers. Ed. L.J. Anthony. London: Bingley, 1988. 45-66.
Objective – The study reported in this article was conceived in order to answer a question of very large scope: What are the information systems and services requirements of social scientists? Inherent in this question was the correlative question: How do social scientists tend to use such systems and services, and what resources and information access approaches do they by choice employ? The choice for such an approach was well-considered, given that 1) there were at the time almost no research results available in this area; 2) the investigators feared that approaches developed earlier for the natural sciences and technology would be uncritically adopted for the social sciences as well; and 3) “the social science information system was developing anyway, and if it was to develop in appropriate ways, some guidance had to be provided quickly” (412). The Investigation into Information Requirements of the Social Sciences (INFROSS) project team believed that there was “no point” (412) in embarking first on a series of more narrowly focused studies. The express intention was to derive findings that would be usable “for the improvement of information systems, or for the design of new ones” (414). For more on the project's conceptual underpinnings, see Line’s “Information Requirements.”
Design – Exploratory study employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches over a period of three and a half years, beginning in the autumn of 1967.
Setting – The whole of the United Kingdom. The project was funded by that country’s Office for Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), which had been established in 1965.
Subjects – Almost 1,100 randomly selected academic social science researchers, plus a substantial number of government social science researchers and social science “practitioners” (“college of education lecturers, schoolteachers, and individuals in social work and welfare” [413]). For the purposes of the study, the social sciences included anthropology, economics, education, geography, political science, psychology and sociology, but numerous historians and statisticians ultimately participated.
Methods – Three methods were employed: surveys, interviews, and direct observation. A “very long” (413) questionnaire was sent to 2,602 of the identified ca. 9,100 social science researchers in the United Kingdom, with 1,089 (41.8%) completed questionnaires returned. Two pilots were conducted with the questionnaire before a definitive version was finalized for the study. Seventy-five interviews were conducted (individually or in groups) with researchers, some of whom had received but not responded to the questionnaire, and some of whom were not included in the questionnaire sample. The interviews with non-responding persons in the sample were for purposes of determining “whether they were non-typical” (413). Fifty additional interviews were conducted (individually or in groups) with practitioners. Day-to-day observation of a small number of social scientists was undertaken in the context of a two and a half year-long experimental information service at Bath University – the first time any UK university had employed information officers for the social sciences.
Main results – The results showed a pronounced perception among social scientists that informal “methods of locating references to relevant published information” (416-8, 426-7, 431) are more useful than formal methods (such as consulting the library catalogue, searching library shelves, or searching in indexing and abstracting publications), and an even more pronounced inclination to actually use such informal methods – something of a revelation at the time. Less than one sixth of all sociologists, for example, made use of Sociological Abstracts. On both counts, “consulting librarian” (418) scored worse than all the other ten options. Forty-eight percent of respondents never did it, and only 8% perceived it as a “very useful” (418) method. Nonetheless, 88% of respondents were in principle prepared to delegate at least some of their literature searching, and approximately 45% all of it, “to a hypothetical information officer” (425). More than 75% of the experimental service clients also responded affirmatively to the question: “Should a social science information officer be a high priority,” given limited available resources? (Line, Cunningham, and Evans 73-5). Most subjects found, in any case, that their major “information problems” (427-8) lay not in discovering what relevant documents might exist, but rather in actually getting their hands on them. In only around 20% of the cases were they ultimately successful in doing so. The younger the researcher, the greater the dissatisfaction with her/his own institution’s collection. This study also revealed that academic social scientists drew little distinction between information needs for their research and those for their teaching.
There was one social science discipline which clearly stood out from the rest: psychology. Psychologists were the heaviest users of abstracting and indexing (A&I) publications, as well as of the journal literature, published conference proceedings, and research reports. They were also the least tolerant of time lags in the A&I services’ coverage of new publications.
Further significant findings were:
• A librarian’s way of categorizing research materials was not very meaningful to the researchers themselves.
• A&I services were generally used more often for ‘keeping up’ than for retrospective searching.
• Consultation with librarians was more common in the less scholarly and more intimate college environment than at research institutions.
• A large percentage found library cataloguing insufficiently detailed. The same was true for book indexes.
• There was considerable enthusiasm for the idea of a citation index for the social sciences. (N.B.: the SSCI began publication two years after the appearance of this article.)
• Among informal methods of scholarly communication and information transfer, conferences (to the investigators’ surprise) rated remarkably low.
• Researchers with large personal collections made more use of the library and its services than those with small collections.
• Social scientists had little interest in non-English-language materials. Line speaks of “a serious foreign language problem” (424).
The INFROSS study produced an enormous amount of data. Only 384 of the computer tables produced were made available in 4 separate reports to OSTI. Only 3 tables, 2 of which were abbreviated, appeared in this article. The further raw data were available on request.
Conclusion – Line himself was exceedingly cautious in drawing explicit positive conclusions from the INFROSS results. He even stated that, “No major patterns were detected which could be of use for information system design purposes” (430). He was freer with his negative and provisional assessments. Two years earlier he had written: “It still remains to be established that there is an information problem in the social sciences, or that, if there is, it is of any magnitude” (“Information Requirements” 3). However, it was now clear to Line that information services and systems for the social scientist were indeed quite inadequate, and that (potential) users were not satisfied.
He was, furthermore, prepared to go out on a limb with the following assertions and inferences:
1) It was a great strength of INFROSS that it had – in marked contrast to previous science user studies – generated “a mass of comparable [his italics] data within a very broad field, so that every finding can be related to other findings” (430).
2) There are discernable – and exploitable – differences in the information needs and use patterns among the different social science disciplines (which he often also refers to as the different “subjects”).
3) INFROSS had likewise made more evident the nature of similarities across disciplines.
4) There is indeed, from an information/library perspective, a continuum from the ‘harder’ to the ‘softer’ social sciences.
5) Social scientists showed too little awareness, made too little use, and even displayed “insufficient motivation” (431) to make use of available information systems/services. He elsewhere (“Secondary Services” 269, 272) characterizes them as “remarkably complacent,” “even apathetic.”
6) There is good reason to doubt the wisdom of libraries’ investing in user education, since it is bound to have little effect (for further discussion of this matter, one can consult his “The Case for” 385-6 and “Ignoring the User” 86).
7) User-friendly systems amount inevitably to underdeveloped and ineffective systems – and therefore “personal intermediaries,” in sufficient numbers, will remain essential if we wish to offer social scientists really good information services (426, 431).
Line believed that INFROSS was only a beginning, and he had already, even before writing this article, begun follow-up research aimed at attaining results really of use for information system design purposes (e.g., the DISISS project). He complained many years later, however, that all this research “indicated means of improvement, but led to no action” (“Social Science Information” 131). In any case, “Bath” (the common shorthand subsequently used to refer to all this research) became, and has remained, the starting point for all subsequent discussions of social science information problems. Several years ago, there was a well-argued international call for “a new and updated version of the INFROSS study” – with an eye to finally using the findings for practical purposes, and aiming “to extend and follow up the research agenda set by the original study” (Janes “Time to Take”).

Abstract Learning Analytics is a topic of growing interest among educational research community. As a result of a systematic literature review, this article describes the usefulness of Learning Analytics as a key element to support a proper 21st century education and to intervene its current crisis from the perspective of different educational stakeholders such as teachers, students, principals and family. From a 1384 document corpus, 100 of them were processed through an abstracting and in-depth reading and a further categorizing stage. Results showed that Learning Analytics provides important inputs for a well-informed decision making of educational stakeholders. Also, despite its importance and educational potential, current implementation of Learning Analytics should no longer be restricted to highly technical profiles but to be open to the academic community and the population in general. In that sense, it is proposed that the skills and knowledge related to Learning Analytics must be included in an updated version of “21st century information literacy”.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the differences and similarities between computer ethics, internet ethics and cyberethics as reflected in the contents of the published literature as well as the search trends on Google. Design/methodology/approach – The paper opted for an informetrics approach, and more specifically content analysis, to investigate the inter-relationships between computer ethics, internet ethics and cyberethics. The data sources for this study included Google Trends, Google Scholar and the Web of Science citation indexes. Different search queries were used, depending on the structure of each data source, to extract the relevant data sets. Findings – Using different methods and techniques to analyse the data, the paper provides an alternative means of investigating relationships among concepts. The findings indicate that there is still no clear distinction between the concepts in terms of subject and title terms used to describe the published literature on the three concepts, as well as the research areas where the three concepts are applied. Going by the current trend, the paper envisages that cyberethics may, in the future, become a broader term to include computer ethics and internet ethics. Research limitations/implications – The data sources that were selected for the study might have not been comprehensive in the coverage of the published literature on the three concepts and therefore there is need for further research, which will expand the scope of the data sources. Practical implications – The paper’s findings may apply in the practice of indexing and abstracting as well as thesaurus construction as far as the three terms are concerned. Originality/value – The paper offers an alternative technique that can be used to investigate relationships among concepts. The value of the paper could include curriculum development of programmes dealing with ethical issues that arise when developing and using computers and related technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Researchers are increasingly being asked to ensure that all products of research activity – not just traditional publications – are preserved and made widely available for study and reuse as a precondition for publication or grant funding, or to conform to disciplinary best practices. In order to conform to these requirements, scholars need effective, easy-to-use tools and services for the long-term curation of their research data. The DataShare service, developed at the University of California, is being used by researchers to: (1) prepare for curation by reviewing best practice recommendations for the acquisition or creation of digital research data; (2) select datasets using intuitive file browsing and drag-and-drop interfaces; (3) describe their data for enhanced discoverability in terms of the DataCite metadata schema; (4) preserve their data by uploading to a public access collection in the UC3 Merritt curation repository; (5) cite their data in terms of persistent and globally-resolvable DOI identifiers; (6) expose their data through registration with well-known abstracting and indexing services and major internet search engines; (7) control the dissemination of their data through enforceable data use agreements; and (8) discover and retrieve datasets of interest through a faceted search and browse environment. Since the widespread adoption of effective data management practices is highly dependent on ease of use and integration into existing individual, institutional, and disciplinary workflows, the emphasis throughout the design and implementation of DataShare is to provide the highest level of curation service with the lowest possible technical barriers to entry by individual researchers. By enabling intuitive, self-service access to data curation functions, DataShare helps to contribute to more widespread adoption of good data curation practices that are critical to open scientific inquiry, discourse, and advancement.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, a fuzzy-based indexing approach (FIA) is developed based on a conceptual framework regarding social, environmental, economic, and technical dimensions to evaluate the overall sustainability potential of existing septic systems (SSs) of around 200 Tanzanian residential buildings in Mwanza city. FIA required the following six steps: selecting, measuring, normalizing, weighting, and aggregating the sustainability indicators (SIs) or dimensions, as well as interpretation of the indices similarly to conventional sustainability indices to aggregate the four sustainability dimensions. In total, 18 SIs were selected based on a literature review. Input data obtained for each indicator were from the social survey and laboratory analysis. The results showed that the entire SSs in the city had a general sustainability index (GSI) of 0.42. The index fell on the verge of the “danger” category, indicating that corrective measures are needed. In conclusion, FIA is simple and transparent, it provides a both theoretical and practical basis for sustainability evaluation, does not require vast quantities of data, and does not demand an advanced computer software package. Moreover, FIA is a proper method to evaluate and improve SS sustainability in the city or provide the information to decision makers, designers, and researchers to scrutinize the decision possibilities in a multidimensional manner.

The aim. The karate competition requires the athlete to have a comprehensive manifestation of motor abilities. At the same time, the motor-related area is closely connected with function of the auditory analyzer. Consequently, auditory deprivation affects all types of motor abilities, but, first of all, it affects coordination abilities, since they are implemented on a defective basis of the sensory systems involved in controlling movements. Technical means (punches and kicks, blocks) and tactical means (instant assessment of the situation and making the right decisions) of traditional karate effectively affect the correction of various manifestations of motor coordination. Moreover, the above mentioned karate means affect motor coordination through motor experience in the form of complicating previously mastered movements and mastering new movements with increased coordination difficulties. Methods and organization of the study. We used the following set of complementary theoretical methods to meet the challenge of theoretical substantiation of the research: analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodical literature, scientific articles on adaptive physical culture, abstracting, generalization and concretization. Results. The research revealed the most common deviations in the manifestation of various components of coordination abilities of children with auditory deprivation. We specified sensitive periods of development of this type of motor qualities in children with hearing impairments. We identified basic karate techniques and actions, which favorably influence the course of development of coordination abilities. Conclusion. Correction and development of the coordination abilities of children with hearing impairments represent the primary task of adaptive physical education. The most favorable age is primary school age. Techniques and actions of traditional karate have a high potential of effective impact on all types of coordination abilities of children.

Full textAbstract:
AimsDespite the abundance of opportunities available for medical students to explore the field of psychiatry, active immersion through experiential learning has proven to be difficult for pre-clinical year students as a result of a busy time table and the need to wait for psychiatry postings during the clinical years. Hence, the question of “how to implement experiential learning of psychiatry in pre-clinical years” arises. This study is aimed to elucidate the attempts that have been made to use research as a proximate approach to learn psychiatry experientially, focusing specifically on the challenges faced and lessons learned by a pre-clinical medical student.MethodThis self-study outlined the informal three-months learning-by-doing journey of a year-one medical student, supervised by a psychiatrist registrar. Employing research as a proximate approach of experiential learning for psychiatry was explored based on reflection from discussion during supervision meetings and messages exchange. The agreed learning method was an active involvement in research projects on psychiatry topics, with the learning outcome of producing publications.ResultThe challenges faced included: 1) the difficulty associated with striking a balance between an ambitious project with high impact versus a feasible smaller project to keep both parties motivated through the means of short-term accomplishment; 2) the ongoing requirement for learning process adjustment to build the foundational knowledge essential for progress. Through active and deliberate effort, every step in the process was found to be an opportunity for active learning. Literature review, for example, was used to build the understanding of psychiatry topics and practise critical appraisal skills, while allowing for the recognition of knowledge gaps, which ultimately encouraged future research idea synthesis. The process of writing and submitting a manuscript was used to learn publication-relevant skills including: journal impact calculation, referencing, indexing and abstracting services, and publication ethics. Certain future proof skills were also developed, including literacy in information and communication technology which improved efficiency of research, problem solving and decision making. This was done using pros and cons whenever difficulties were faced.ConclusionAlthough research is not a comprehensive substitute for clinical posting in the process of learning psychiatry, the lessons learned from psychiatry research can potentially serve as an initial exploration tool for preclinical-year medical students interested in the field. The stimulating process has found to be effective in stimulating further interest in psychiatry but maintaining it will be the next challenge.

Full textAbstract:
Emerging technologies are always treated with caution, and Blockchain is no exception to this rule. The AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) sector is considered conservative when it comes to technology adoption, which is often positive in an industry that deals with a vital commodity that could harm humans or result in catastrophe. However, excessive caution also stifles innovation, as shown in the industry’s low R&D expenditure when compared to other industrial activities. In recent years, the AECO sector has benefited from the adoption of new information management tools and systems that allow professionals to develop, share and store construction data more effectively. These tools have successfully tackled many of the traditional interoperability issues that have affected the industry, but several challenges remain unsolved. Indeed, effective real-world communication depends, not only on the compatibility between data formats and systems, but also on issues such as privacy, transparency, and trust. Blockchain has been adopted in different activities as a tool to address these issues, but its impact in the construction industry remains scarce. This paper presents a bibliometric study for the available literature on Blockchain implementation in the AECO sector. In addition to the bibliometric review, content analysis for the literature retrieved is presented to provide a clear vision of the current directions regarding Blockchain technology adoption. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the maturity of Blockchain in Construction literature using statistics based on the available bibliometrics in addition to content analysis. The main results show that although the number of articles about the use of Blockchain in Construction has increased, no studies that present ready to use solutions were found. Instead, the covered studies discuss the technical capabilities of the technology and suggest possible fields of implementation, such as smart contracts and automated payments. Study limitations include the limited amount of literature that can be found on major indexing services, which cover a relatively short reference period.

Full textAbstract:
Objective To present a framework that facilitates quality assessment of pharmaceutical care (PC) so that the profession and the public may identify pharmacists in ambulatory settings who provide quality care in all aspects of their practices. Data Sources A MEDLINE search augmented by a review of International Pharmacy Abstracts was used to identify pertinent quality assessment and pharmacy practice literature; indexing terms included quality assurance, healthcare, pharmacists, community pharmacy services, ambulatory, pharmacy, and process and outcome assessment. Study Selection All identified quality assessments of community pharmacy practice were considered. Studies that documented the effectiveness of specific pharmacist activities and patient satisfaction were also included. Data Extraction The literature was independently reviewed by the primary author. Data Synthesis The structure–process–outcome paradigm is presented as a framework for quality assessment of PC. Structure should be assessed at periodic intervals because it identifies the potential for the provision of quality care. Process, the care that pharmacists provide, must be documented and linked to outcomes before either structure or process can be used to make inferences about the quality of PC. Technical and interpersonal processes should be examined. Outcomes require an interdisciplinary approach that not only considers other medical care inputs but also recognizes the psychologic, economic, and social factors that affect health status and quality of life. Process and outcome must both be assessed to distinguish the contribution of pharmacists from that of other healthcare providers. Examples of criteria are provided and a model to integrate PC within the healthcare system is discussed. Conclusions It is pharmacists’ duty to ensure that patients receive an acceptable level of PC. The structure-process-outcome paradigm provides a framework to identify and link pharmacists’ processes with patients’ outcomes.

The research was focused on determining dilatability of traveling mass water from Phetchaburi diversion dam on high concentrated community wastewater that flowing into Phetchaburi river. The mass water quality was sampled at six-consecutive measuring stations from Phetchaburi diversion dam to the river mouth with various distances of traveling, and analyzed for 27 environmental indicators before employing ANOVA ANALYSIS which resulted with highly significant differences between indicator and station only BOD, COD, TSS, and turbidity. When the linear regression was employed to determine both the water quality indicators in relation to discharges (10, 15, 20, and 25 cms.) and the traveling distances, resulting the determination coefficients of 0.93 for BOD, 0.80 for COD, 0.83 for TSS, and 0.50 for turbidity. Only BOD value is included in the list of surface water quality standards. After employing the derived equations to calculate BOD in comparison with observed value, then it was chosen to support the decision of required BOD for 3 mg/L at Muang Municipal bridge together with discharge of 10-15 cms from Phetchaburi diversion dam. If more or less this range in summer period, the dilatability of high contaminant concentration was decreased 2-10 folds due to less mass water flow and washing off organic and solid wastes from flooding along the riverbanks. Furthermore, the traveling mass water from diversion dam is possibly eligible to dilute the high concentrated wastewater from dense and populated community but the diluted mixture depending on the amount and concentration of wastewater inflow.An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article, it allows readers to survey the contents of an article quickly and, like a title, it enables persons interested in the document to retrieve it from abstracting and indexing databases.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the intelligence and investigatory challenges experienced by law enforcement agencies in discovering the identity of illicit Bitcoin users and the transactions that they perform. This paper proposes solutions to assist law enforcement agencies in piecing together the disparate and complex technical, behavioural and criminological elements that make up cybercriminal offending. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted to highlight the main law enforcement challenges and discussions and examine current discourse in the areas of anonymity and attribution. The paper also looked at other research and projects that aim to identify illicit transactions involving cryptocurrencies and the darknet. Findings An optimal solution would be one which has a predictive capability and a machine learning architecture which automatically collects and analyses data from the Bitcoin blockchain and other external data sources and applies search criteria matching, indexing and clustering to identify suspicious behaviours. The implementation of a machine learning architecture would help improve results over time and would be less manpower intensive. Cyber investigators would also receive intelligence in a format and language that they understand and it would allow for intelligence-led and predictive policing rather than reactive policing. The optimal solution would be one which allows for intelligence-led, predictive policing and enables and encourages information sharing between multiple stakeholders from the law enforcement, financial intelligence units, cyber security organisations and fintech industry. This would enable the creation of red flags and behaviour models and the provision of up-to-date intelligence on the threat landscape to form a viable intelligence product for law enforcement agencies so that they can more easily get to the who, what, when and where. Originality/value The development of a functional software architecture that, in theory, could be used to detected suspicious illicit transactions on the Bitcoin network.

"Incorporating holistic methodologies in determining wind resource availability for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes."

Full textAbstract:
We have carried out site feasibility and desirability assessments for wind development on the reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), located in Western Montana, USA working in collaboration with tribal experts and leaders. Holistic review of siting options includes technical, economic, environmental, and aesthetic factors. We have combined publically available GIS data for wind power classifications, digital elevation maps, and built infrastructure, with input from tribal planners to identify Seepay Ridge as a key technically and economically favored site. Preliminary go/no-go environmental assessments have been carried out by others. A major goal for this work was to provide new geospatial mapping methods and site indexing tools to enable individual communities and the reservation as a whole to assess the perceived visual impacts of specific wind development sites. The visual impact of wind development site j on any given location i was computed using a model from the literature, combined with line-of-sight viewshed modeling. We map the expected visual impact of a Seepay Ridge wind farm with either 10 or 50 turbines on locations across the reservation. The aggregated visual impact from towns on the reservation was also computed based on a population weighting. We found that a 50-turbine Seepay Ridge development has an Aggregated Urban Index (AUI) of 0.05. This means the development has about 5% of the visual impact of building a 50-turbine farm adjacent to each town on the reservation. We also conjecture that situational visual impact is an important, but as of yet unmeasured, viewshed impact variable. The perceived impact of a wind development is likely to be situation-dependent, since the perception of impact by an observer in an urban area vs. a cultural, wilderness, or primitive area is likely to be different for the same observer.

"THE PROCEDURAL PROTECTION OF DATA DE-INDEXING IN INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES: THE EFFECTIVENESS IN BRAZIL OF THE SO-CALLED “RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN” AGAINST MEDIA COMPANIES." Revista Juridica 1, no. 54 (March 29, 2019): 25. http://dx.doi.org/10.21902/revistajur.2316-753x.v1i54.3299.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The right to be forgotten is recognized by the brazilian courts as embodied in the protection of human dignity. However, in the contemporary virtual environment, this right faces severe difficulties to be made effective, demanding instruments compatible with i) the dynamics of virtual relations; ii) the importance of conflicting — personal and public — legal assets; iii) the functioning mechanisms of virtual structures; and iv) the technical capacity for cessation or mitigation of the damage of the individuals involved. In this context, this research analyzes the viability of procedural protection of the right to be forgotten in Brazil through the de-indexing of data, recognizing the active role of search engine companies in its effectiveness before media companies. Methodologically, the study is based on a documentary research, done on a sampling of the brazilian legal literature and of the paradigmatic judgments of the brazilian Superior Court of Justice (SCJ). Also, a qualitative research was carried out, as it analyzed the foundations and effects verified in the samplings of those documents. There was also a quali-quantitative research of the decisions of the Superior Court of Justice aiming to verify if there is jurisprudence, or only isolated decisions. The deductive method was used, with the major premise — taken to be true — that it is possibile to extend the application’s spectrum of the protection of the right to be forgotten, and secondly, that the SCJ has a conservative position regarding the role of search engines. KEYWORDS: Civil Procedural Law; Data de-indexing; Right to be forgotten; Search engines. RESUMOO direito ao esquecimento é reconhecido pelo Judiciário como inserido na tutela da dignidade da pessoa humana. Entretanto, no ambiente virtual contemporâneo, esse direito enfrenta severas dificuldades para ser efetivado, demandando instrumentos compatíveis com a dinamicidade das relações virtuais, a importância dos bens jurídicos — pessoais e públicos — em conflito, os mecanismos de funcionamento das estruturas virtuais e a capacidade técnica dos sujeitos envolvidos para cessação ou mitigação do dano. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa analisa a viabilidade de tutela processual do direito ao esquecimento no Brasil por meio da desindexação de dados, reconhecendo-se o papel ativo das empresas motores de busca na sua efetivação perante as empresas de comunicação. Metodologicamente, o trabalho se fundamenta em uma pesquisa documental, feita sobre uma amostragem da literatura jurídica brasileira e de julgados paradigmáticos do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). Outrossim, procedeu-se a uma pesquisa qualitativa, pois analisou os fundamentos e efeitos verificados nas amostragens daqueles documentos. Houve, ainda, uma pesquisa qualiquantitativa, dos julgados do Superior Tribunal de Justiça objetivando verificar se há jurisprudência, ou apenas julgados isolados. Empregou-se o método dedutivo, tendo por premissa maior, considerada verdadeira, a possibilidade de ampliar o espectro de aplicação da proteção do direito ao esquecimento, e por segunda premissa, que o STJ apresenta posição conservadora em relação ao papel dos motores de busca. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Processo civil; Desindexação de informações; Direito ao esquecimento; Motores de busca.

"CONSTRUCTION OF GEODESIC NETWORKS ON THE BASIS OF THE THEORY OF MARKOV ACCIDENTAL PROCESSES AND THE THEORY OF RELIABILITY." Urban development and spatial planning, no. 80 (May 30, 2022): 115–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.32347/2076-815x.2022.80.115-130.
Full textAbstract:
As mentioned above, the theory of reliability was mainly developed for technical devices. However, nowadays it is widely used in construction, and is also beginning to be used in geodesy. By abstracting its position can be successfully transferred to systems that do not seem to be in a dynamic state. Take, for example, the polygon metric network in the city. It would seem that such a network is in a static state, but over time it undergoes changes, ie it is in subtle dynamics and its reliability is gradually declining.
Reliability in the broadest sense of the word means the ability of a technical device (system, network) to uninterrupted (trouble-free) operation for a specified period of time under certain conditions. This period of time is usually due to the time of a task. Which is carried out by a device or system and is part of the overall operational task.
Currently, the problem of reliability is becoming one of the key problems of technology and management. Ensuring the reliable operation of all elements of the system is of paramount importance.
Improving reliability requires special study and quantitative analysis of the phenomena associated with accidental failures of devices or systems. At this time, the theory of reliability has become a special science that makes extensive use of probable methods of examination.
In the theory of reliability there are two types of failures: sudden and gradual. Consider sudden failures. Sudden device failures are understood as an instantaneous failure, which means that it cannot be used, and these failures occur at some random point in time.
The reliability of the system depends on the composition and number of elements included in it, on the type of integration into the system and on the characteristics of each individual element. An element is to be understood as any device that is not subject to further disconnection, the reliability of which is specified or determined experimentally. By assembling such elements in different ways into systems, we will solve the problem of determining the reliability of the system depending on the reliability of its elements.
The reliability of elements and systems is determined by numerical characteristics. We give some definitions of these characteristics for the element and the system as a whole.
The reliability of the element is the probability that the element in certain conditions will work flawlessly over time, its probability is denoted. With increasing time, reliability usually decreases; with probability.
In the geodetic literature, the term "reliability" is often used, which means the accuracy of the obtained results of geodetic measurements. However, the reliability of a geodetic sign or network as a whole, from the point of view of reliability theory should be considered, for example, the ability of a sign or network to survive on the ground without changing location (without changing spatial coordinates) for a given period of time under certain conditions. In other words, the reliability of a geodetic sign or network as a whole is the probability that the sign or network in these conditions will fail to "work" until the end of a given time.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The Journal Motricidade (that stands for Motricity in Portuguese) for more than a decade has been publishing original papers and review articles that are methodologically sound, theoretically grounded in the scientific areas of sports sciences, human movement, human development and health. Both qualitative and quantitative researches are welcome. Over this period of time the journal had as mission providing Portuguese speaking researchers a place to share their findings. Journal Motricidade is a niche publication and as such depends strongly of its stakeholders. Therefore, we would like to acknowledge everyone that one way or the other supported this periodic.</p><p>However, the research and academia landscape changed over the last ten years. The community has been growing significantly. The amount of research projects funded and papers published has been increasing sharply. Living in a global and interconnected world these days, international collaborations are a must. Because of these opportunities and challenges, it is time to revamp the Journal. Therefore a comprehensive set of changes were put in place. To begin with, we are opening the journal to the international community, besides Portuguese speaking researchers and academics. Hence, submitted manuscripts must be draft in English and comply with the guidelines by the American Psychological Association (APA) for the presentation of scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>Journal Motricidade will keep providing immediate open access to its content. To allow a quick and effective dissemination of the authors’ findings, it is currently indexed in several influential databases. Among these are some of the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature such as the ISI Web of Science and Scielo Citation Index by Thomson Reuters, Scopus and EMCare by Elsevier or SCImago (SJR: Medicine, Health Professions). As far as indexing and abstracting goes, we will work towards being included in more databases in the near future.</p><p>Submitted manuscripts go through an internal and an external reviewing process. Upon submission by the authors, it is carried out an internal review by the editorial board. The main aim at this stages it to verify if the manuscript falls under the journal’s scope, the clarity of the writing, methodological adequacy, if it is in tandem with the best ethical practices and its adherence to the journal's guidelines. If the manuscript fulfils all these criteria, it is forward for blind peer-review.</p><p>Another update is that the Journal Motricidade no longer assesses the manuscripts on the subjective perception of importance or novelty of the findings reported. Rather, editors and reviewers are advised to check thoroughly the methodology and how it sounds based on the theoretical background or framework and the state of-the-art on such topic. We are looking forward for a comprehensive and rigorous report of the research design, experiments, data handling and statistical analysis.</p>Taking these actions to revamp the publication we hope to increase even more the journal’s standards of quality. It is also our wish to be part of the international debate on topics related to sports sciences, human movement, human development and health. If so, we will be helping to build a solid body of knowledge in such areas and; last but not least, to have a meaningful impact on the evidence-based practice by professionals.
