Google Scholar as a source for citation and impact analysis for a non-ISI indexed medical journal
No full textIt is difficult to determine the influence and impact of journals which are not covered by the ISI databases and Journal Citation Report. However, with the availability of databases such as MyAIS (Malaysian Abstracting and Indexing System), which offers sufficient information to support bibliometric analysis as well as being indexed by Google Scholar which provides citation information, it has become possible to obtain productivity, citation and impact information for non-ISI indexed journals. The bibliometric tool Harzing's Publish and Perish was used to collate citation information from Google scholar. The study examines article productivity, the citations obtained by articles and calculates the impact factor of Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM) published between 2004 and 2008. MJM is the oldest medical journal in Malaysia and the unit of analysis is 580 articles. The results indicate that once a journal is covered by MyAIS it becomes visible and accessible on the Web because Google Scholarindexes MyAIS. The results show that contributors to MJM were mainly Malaysian (91) and the number of Malaysian-Foreign collaborated papers were very small (28 articles, 4.8). However, citation information from Google scholar indicates that out of the 580 articles, 76.8 (446) have been cited over the 5-year period. The citations were received from both mainstrean foreign as well as Malaysian journals and the top three citors were from China, Malaysia and the United States. In general more citations were received from East Asian countries, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The 2-yearly impact factor calculated for MJM is 0.378 in 2009, 0.367 in 2008, 0.616 in 2007 and 0.456 in 2006. The 5-year impact factor is calculated as 0.577. The results show that although MJM is a Malaysian journal and not ISI indexed its contents have some international significance based on the citations and impact score it receives, indicating the importance of being visible especially in Google scholar
Nighttime cooling of an urban pond
No full textOne of the processes by which open water cools the air during hot summer days is by storing the heat and increasing its own temperature. This heat is then released at night. The aim of this paper is to analyze this cooling process by quantifying the magnitude of turbulent, latent and sensible, heat fluxes in comparison to radiative and ground fluxes. A detailed vertical temperature profile was measured in an urban pond (~70 cm deep with surface area of 3,627 m2) in Delft (NL) using Distributed Temperature Sensing for a period of one month. The results show that, from the total of 2.7 MJm−2 of heat released by the pond on an average summer night, 43% of the thermal energy is emitted as longwave radiation, 39% as latent energy, and only 11% as sensible heat. An additional 0.10–0.32 MJm−2 is transferred into the bottom of the lake. Temperature distribution and cooling of the water profile is influenced by weather conditions during the preceding day. This paper provides an insight into a behavioral pattern of an urban pond at night. The results can shed some light into the potential of urban bodies to increase the air temperature of their surroundings at night.Water Resource

Genes, culture and agriculture : an example of human niche construction
No full textK. N. Laland was supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (EVOCULTURE).Theory and empirical data from a variety of disciplines strongly imply that recent human history involves extensive gene-culture coevolution, much of it as a direct result of human agricultural practices. Here we draw on niche-construction theory (NCT) and gene-culture coevolutionary theory (GCT) to propose a broad theoretical framework (NCT-GCT) with which archaeologists and anthropologists can explore coevolutionary dynamics. Humans are enormously potent niche constructors, and understanding how niche construction regulates ecosystem dynamics is central to understanding the impact of human populations on their ecological and developmental environments. We use as primary examples the evolution of dairying by Neolithic groups in Europe and Africa and the rise of the “sickle-cell allele” among certain agricultural groups in West Africa and suggest that these examples are broadly representative of much of human recent history. Although the core aspects of these case studies are familiar, we lay out the examples with a specific NCT-GCT focus, which allows us to highlight how archaeology, when coupled with genetic research, can play an important role in better understanding human history. Finally, we suggest that the NCT-GCT perspective is likely to be of widespread general utility because it inherently promotes consideration of the active agency of humans, and other organisms, in modifying their ecological and developmental niches and naturally draws attention to the various forms of feedback that flow from human activities at multiple levels, in multiple populations, and across multiple species.Peer reviewe

Education of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants; What Role, if any, for Physicians in Determining Their Scope of Practice?
No full textRecent changes in legislation allow for non-physicians to independently perform many of the duties previously restricted to physicians. There are potentially benefits to these changes, but the author is concerned that some of the attributes of physicians induced by the long and rigorous training embedded in the profession may be absent in this new, independent health-care work force

This work presents the fabrication of stretchable polymeric matrices for 3D inductors through a single-step method via additive manufacturing. A multi-jet modeling (MJM) type 3D printer is used to print a stretchable and rigid hybrid matrix by leveraging the features of high-resolution and multi-component printing techniques. Owing to the presence of access channels designed in multiple directions, the coil channel shows a clean and smooth surface with uniformity. A room-temperature liquid metal, the eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) alloy, is encapsulated in the designated channels without any leakage under mechanical deformation. Electrical performance tests demonstrate that the MJM-printed solenoid and toroid inductors maintain stable performance under bending and stretching deformations, which is suitable for soft electronic applications. Additionally, a flexible helical structured inductor is fabricated and tested as a wireless power receiver inductor. It generated an output voltage of more than 10 V, sufficient to power a red LED light bulb. These results highlight the simplicity and effectiveness of multi-jet 3D printing for fabricating a stretchable and rigid hybrid matrix for the inductors at once, with excellent mechanical deformability and electrical performance
Publishing to Progress Science: Shifting the Paradigm from Self to Selfless
No full text“Publish or perish" is a phrase coined to describe the pressure in academia to rapidly and continually publish academic work to sustain or further one's career to the next level of academic promotion and to build an academic reputation1. Prolific publishing increasingly affects funding as well as the reputation of individuals, their institutions, and journals themselves2. While the drive behind this increase can be attributed to many factors, the impact can further both the author and the larger medical community. This leads to the juxtaposition of self and selflessness and suggests the question: How is this quantitative increase in publishing reflected in an improvement in patient care?
Publishing in academia requires a new mindset. The essence of scholarly publication is the dissemination of knowledge for the advancement of humanity. When one publishes, he/she initiates a scholarly communication with other scholars and becomes part of the scientific community with a greater mission to improve the world. New knowledge and exchange of ideas sparks further inquiry and becomes the base of a research pyramid upon which future scientists can build.
The crux of scientific publication is the progression of science. In the field of medicine, dissemination of one’s work can lead to tremendous developments in new perspectives, therapies, cures, and preventions. An unbiased and thorough peer review process is an integral component that ensures the scientific quality of journals. Whether they are unique clinical cases or original research outlining therapeutic interventions, or ways to improve the quality of patient care, scholarly articles are enhanced by the constructive inputs of reviewers and editors. Investigations and interpretations presented in a peer-reviewed journal offer the medical community a vantage point from which to meet on the global platform and progress the scholarly conversation. This ultimately benefits the patients and provides teachable moments to future physicians and scientists

Assessing Students' Learning Experience and Achievements in a Medium-Sized Massively Open Online Course
No full textA medium-sized Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) was hosted by Peking University in 2013. Altogether 192 Chinese students came to Peking University and learned face-to-face; another 311 Chinese students participated online. This study targeted one research question: Were there any significant differences between the learning experiences and outcomes of onsite and online students? Although onsite students had lower attrition and higher completion rates than their online peers, no significant difference was detected between the average assignment scores of the onsite and online participants who had completed all the assignments. Learners also responded to a survey asking for their learning experiences. There were no significant differences between the online and onsite students' ratings of technology quality and usability of course management system, instructional content, and the design of learning assessment. Findings from this first empirical study on a Chinese MOOC will inform researchers and practitioners interested in introducing MOOCs to Chinese students.EICPCI-S(ISTP)[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
