AISDL Team pledges to contribute to climate change prevention and sustainable development
On 16 August 2023, given the urgency and severity of the climate crisis, the AISDL Team pledged to contribute its modest strength to alleviating the anthropogenic impacts on the Earth system and, if possible, restore its “healthy” condition through scientific and practical actions. This endeavor will be a long journey, requiring precise navigation and decision-making based on what is needed, what can be done, and what has been done so far.
The note aims to summarize all the works related to environment, conservation, and sustainability that the AISDL Team’s members have done, supporting the Team to understand where we are now, what we have done, and what we should do next.
We acknowledge that our contribution to the collective endeavors to alleviate climate change and restore ecosystems remains modest. Hopefully, we can make more helpful contributions to the fields of climate change prevention and sustainable development, both scientifically and practically, in the future
The near-suicide phenomenon study surpassed the 100,000-view milestone: In the cause of medical humanities
The AISDL Team is delighted to celebrate the event of our study, titled “Near-Suicide Phenomenon: An Investigation into the Psychology of Patients with Serious Illnesses Withdrawing from Treatment,” surpassing the 100,000-view landmark at 22:20 Hanoi time, April 7, 2023. This unthinkable event occurred only 24 days after publication
Readworthy open-access journals for environmental studies
Accomplishing the sustainable development goal is challenging and requires the joint effort of the whole community, especially when humans are approaching the climate tipping point [1]. To contribute to promoting sustainable development, the AISDL Team has aggregated reliable and open-access scientific journals about environmental issues here as sources of knowledge for any interested researchers
BMF Analytics Training Course at VIASM HANU Conference
On November 3 and 4, 2023, Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoang (Phenikaa University), co-author of the BMF Analytics [1], gave a lecture on computational approaches using bayesvl and BMF application for social science research
How will our collaborative projects work?
The AISDL team introduces an online portal that promotes knowledge exchange and facilitates worldwide collaboration based on openness, transparency, equality, and innovation
The AISDL team invites researchers, especially Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and those from low-resource backgrounds, to participate in joint research projects utilizing the Bayesian Mindsponge Frameworks (BMF) analytics.
Collaborating with the AISDL team allows participants to discuss interesting findings, achieve products, and gain useful research skills with our theoretical, technical, and editorial support. ***** For more information, please visit: https://mindsponge.info/posts/39 ****
BMF Collaborative Project 18: Achieving synergic goals for nature protection, biodiversity conservation, and biomass promotion
The mindsponge theory will be used for conceptual development. Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics will be used for statistical analysis on a dataset of 707 private landowners in two SE US fuelsheds that supply the majority of the wood pellets. The bayesvl R package, aided by the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, will be employed for statistical analyses. All the materials and codes for this study will be made available to reduce the cost of doing science and to provide transparency. For more information on BMF analytics, portal users can refer to the following book
BMF CP40: Does living experience in rural locations affect urban residents’ intention and behavior of keeping uncommon pets?
BMF CP40: Does living experience in rural locations affect urban residents’ intention and behavior of keeping uncommon pets
BMF CP51: Political ideology, climate change, and potable water reuse willingness in the USA
The current study has two objectives:
- Examine whether the residents’ perceived impact of climate change on water supply affects their direct and indirect potable water reuse willingness in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
- Examine whether being a member of the Republican party moderates the relationship between the perceived impact of climate change on water supply and potable water reuse willingness.
Findings from this study are expected to contribute to promoting the eco-surplus culture for achieving the environmental semiconducting principle
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
