Conversely, editors publishing inside articles in affiliated national journals would send negative signals. The research predicts that high(low) quality editorial boards will conduct more(less) selective evaluation and their journals will have lower(higher) acceptance rates. Based on the publication strategy of editors, four measures of board quality are defined: Number of board inside publications per editor(INSIDER), number of board Social Sciences Citation Index publications per editor(SSCI), inside-to-SSCI article ratio(ISRA), and board citation per editor(CITATION). Predictions are tested by correlation and regression analysis.Findings: Low-quality board proxies(INSIDER, ISRA) are positively, and high-quality board proxies(SSCI, CITATION) are negatively associated with acceptance rates. Further, we find that receiving a larger number of submissions, greater women representation on boards, and Web of Science and Scopus(WOSS) coverage are associated with lower acceptance rates. Acceptance rates for journals range from 12% to 91%, with an average of 54% and a median of 53%. Law journals have significantly higher average acceptance rate(68%) than other journals, while WOSS journals have the lowest(43%). Findings indicate some of the highest acceptance rates in Social Sciences literature, including competitive Business and Economics journals that traditionally have low acceptance rates. Limitations: Research relies on local context to define publication strategy of editors. Findings may not be generalizable to mainstream journals and core science countries where emphasis on research quality is stronger and editorial selection is based on scientific merit.Practical implications: Results offer useful insights into editorial management of national journals and allow us to make sense of local editorial practices. The importance of scientific merit for selection to national journal editorial boards is particularly highlighted for sound editorial evaluation of submitted manuscripts.Originality/value: This is the first attempt to document a significant relation between acceptance rates and editorial board publication behavior.展开更多

Most existing studies on online reviews only focused on their content without addressing how their explanation type influences purchasing decisions, not to mention the boundary conditions for such effects. Based on three experimental studies, this paper examines how explanation type affects the perceived usefulness of online reviews and purchasing decisions, and discusses the boundary conditions for such effects. Our findings show that positive explanation type has a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of online reviews, while negative explanation has an insignificant impact. For search products, there is a positive correlation between the online reviews of explained actions and the perceived usefulness of consumer reviews. For experience products, there is a positive correlation between the online reviews of explained reactions and the perceived usefulness of consumer reviews. Further research found that temporal distance may moderate the effects of explanation type and product type on the perceived usefulness of online reviews. This study also provides a new approach for research on the word-of-mouth(WOM) with meaningful implications for e-commerce firms.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The incidence of diabetes mellitus type 1(DM1)has been rising worldwide because of improvements in diagnostic techniques and improved access to care in countries with lower socioeconomic status.A new anti-CD4 antibody,Teplizumab,has been shown to delay the progression of DM1 and is the only medication approved for this indication.However,more information is needed about the safety profile of this drug.AIM To identify the odds ratios(OR)of systems-based adverse effects for Teplizumab when compared to Placebo.METHODS An extensive systematic review was conducted from the inception of the medication until December 31,2023.All clinical trials and studies that evaluated Teplizumab vs placebo were included in the initial review.The study protocol was designed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO(ID:CRD42024496169).Crude OR were generated using RevMan Software version 5.4.RESULTS After screening and review,5 studies were selected to determine the risk of adverse effects of teplizumab compared to placebo.A total of 561 patients were included in the study population.Total adverse effects and system-based adverse effects were studied and reported.We determined that patients receiving Teplizumab had a higher risk of developing gastrointestinal(GI)(OR=1.60,95%CI:1.01-2.52,P=0.04),dermatological(OR=6.33,95%CI:4.05-9.88,P<0.00001)and hematological adverse effects(OR=19.03,95%CI:11.09-32.66,P<0.00001).These patients were also significantly likely to have active Epstein-Barr Virus infection(OR=3.16,95%CI:1.51-6.64,P<0.002).While our data showed that patients receiving Teplizumab did have a higher incidence of total adverse effects vs placebo,this finding did not reach statistical significance(OR=2.25,95%CI:0.80-6.29,P=0.12).CONCLUSION Our systematic review suggests that Teplizumab patients are at risk for significant adverse effects,primarily related to GI,dermatological,and hematological systems.The total adverse effect data is limited as study populations are small.More studies should be conducted on this medication to better inform the target population of potential adverse effects.

文摘BACKGROUND Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA)and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors(SGLT-2I)are associated with significant cardiovascular benefit in type 2 diabetes(T2D).However,GLP-1RA or SGLT-2I alone may not improve some cardiovascular outcomes in patients with prior cardiovascular co-morbidities.AIM To explore whether combining GLP-1RA and SGLT-2I can achieve additional benefit in preventing cardiovascular diseases in T2D.METHODS The systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA recommendations.The protocol was registered on PROSPERO(ID:42022385007).A total of 107049 participants from eligible cardiovascular outcomes trials of GLP-1RA and SGLT-2I were included in network meta-regressions to estimate cardiovascular benefit of the combination treatment.Effect modification of prior myocardial infarction(MI)and heart failure(HF)was also explored to provide clinical insight as to when the INTRODUCTION The macro-and micro-vascular benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA)and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors(SGLT-2I)are independent of their glucose-lowering effects[1].In patients with type 2 diabetes(T2D),the major cardiovascular outcome trials(CVOT)showed that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors(DPP-4I)did not improve cardiovascular outcomes[2],whereas cardiovascular benefit of GLP-1RA or SGLT-2I was significant[3,4].Further subgroup analyses indicated that the background cardiovascular risk should be considered when examining the cardiovascular outcomes of these newer glucose-lowering medications.For instance,prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)was only seen in those patients with baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease[3,4].Moreover,a series of CVOT conducted in patients with heart failure(HF)have demonstrated that(compared with placebo)SGLT-2I significantly reduced risk of hospitalization for HF or cardiovascular death,irrespective of their history of T2D[5-8].However,similar cardiovascular benefits were not observed in those with myocardial infarction(MI)[9,10].Cardiovascular co-morbidities are not only approximately twice as common but are also associated with dispropor-tionately worse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2D,compared to the general population[11].Therefore,it is of clinical importance to investigate whether the combination treatment of GLP-1RA and SGLT-2I could achieve greater cardiovascular benefit,particularly when considering patients with cardiovascular co-morbidities who may not gain sufficient cardiovascular protection from the monotherapies.This systematic review with multiple network meta-regressions was mainly aimed to explore whether combining GLP-1RA and SGLT-2I can provide additional cardiovascular benefit in T2D.Cardiovascular outcomes of these newer antidiabetic medications were also estimated under effect modification of prior cardiovascular diseases.This was to provide clinical insight as to when the combination treatment might be prioritized.

文摘Purpose: This study takes advantage of newly released journal metrics to investigate whether local journals with more qualified boards have lower acceptance rates, based on data from 219 Turkish national journals and 2,367 editorial board members.Design/methodology/approach: This study argues that journal editors can signal their scholarly quality by publishing in reputable journals. Conversely, editors publishing inside articles in affiliated national journals would send negative signals. The research predicts that high(low) quality editorial boards will conduct more(less) selective evaluation and their journals will have lower(higher) acceptance rates. Based on the publication strategy of editors, four measures of board quality are defined: Number of board inside publications per editor(INSIDER), number of board Social Sciences Citation Index publications per editor(SSCI), inside-to-SSCI article ratio(ISRA), and board citation per editor(CITATION). Predictions are tested by correlation and regression analysis.Findings: Low-quality board proxies(INSIDER, ISRA) are positively, and high-quality board proxies(SSCI, CITATION) are negatively associated with acceptance rates. Further, we find that receiving a larger number of submissions, greater women representation on boards, and Web of Science and Scopus(WOSS) coverage are associated with lower acceptance rates. Acceptance rates for journals range from 12% to 91%, with an average of 54% and a median of 53%. Law journals have significantly higher average acceptance rate(68%) than other journals, while WOSS journals have the lowest(43%). Findings indicate some of the highest acceptance rates in Social Sciences literature, including competitive Business and Economics journals that traditionally have low acceptance rates. Limitations: Research relies on local context to define publication strategy of editors. Findings may not be generalizable to mainstream journals and core science countries where emphasis on research quality is stronger and editorial selection is based on scientific merit.Practical implications: Results offer useful insights into editorial management of national journals and allow us to make sense of local editorial practices. The importance of scientific merit for selection to national journal editorial boards is particularly highlighted for sound editorial evaluation of submitted manuscripts.Originality/value: This is the first attempt to document a significant relation between acceptance rates and editorial board publication behavior.
文摘Peer Review.Following receipt and acceptance by CJOMS,manuscripts will be reviewed and processed for peer review.An editor of CJOMS reviews the submitted manuscripts initially.Manuscripts with insufficient priority for publication are rejected promptly.Other manuscripts are sent to external expert consultants for peer review when preliminary processing is complete.Peer reviewer identities are kept confidential,but reviewers know the iden- tities of the authors.The manuscript under review is not revealed to anyone other than peer reviewers and editorial staff.Usually two external peer re- viewers are involved in the process of peer review,but in some instance,a third reviewer is required when disagreement exists between the two review- ers.Reviewers receive printed or electronic copies of each manuscript and are asked to review these within two weeks.Reviewer comments are returned via mail or electronic means.Only these high quality manuscript with good scores from two reviewers are considered for publication,the final decision is made on a monthly workshop participated by the Editor-in-Chief,Associate Editors-in-Chief and 10 Key Editorial Members.Manuscripts that are ac- cepted for publication are announced on CJOMS web timely.Comments from the peer reviewers,CJOMS editors and workshop are submitted to au- thors for revision.Revised manuscripts are asked to return within 4 weeks.

文摘Background:Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been identified as one of the most challenging chronic illnesses to manage.Since the management of diabetes is mainly accomplished by patients and families,selfmanagement has become the mainstay of diabetes care.However,a significant proportion of patients fail to engage in adequate self-management.A priority research question is how do interventions affect the self-management behaviors of persons with Type 2 diabetes?Purpose/Objectives:The purpose of this integrative review is to provide a summary and critique of interventions that support diabetes self-management in the patient with TypeⅡdiabetes mellitus.Design:An integrative review design,with a comprehensive methodological approach of reviews,allowing inclusion of experimental and non-experimental studies.Procedures:A comprehensive search was conducted via Ebscohost using databases of Academic Search Complete,CINAHL,Health Source:Nursing/Academic Edition,MEDLINE,PsycArtiCLES,and PsycInfo.The final number of papers used for this review were:motivational interviewing(6),peer support/coaching(10),problem solving therapy(3),technology-based interventions(30),lifestyle modification programs(7),patient education(11),mindfulness(3),and cognitive behavioral therapy(5).Results:Studies were examined from seventeen countries including a broad range of cultures and ethnicities.While interventions have shown mixed results in all interventional categories,many studies do support small to modest improvements in physiologic,behavioral,and psychological outcome measures.Considerable heterogeneity of interventions exists.The most commonly reported physiologic measure was HbA1c level.Outcome measures were collected mostly at 6 and 12 months.Duration of most research was limited to one year.Conclusions:Research exploring the impact of interventions for self-management has made major contributions to the care of persons with type 2 diabetes,from offering suggestions for improving care,to stimulating new questions for research.However,implications for clinical practice remain inconclusive,and limitations in existing research suggest caution in interpreting results of studies.
文摘BACKGROUND Diabetes distress is an important factor in treatment outcomes and results in poor behavioral and biological consequences.Technology has been used in management programs of diabetes to improve communication between patients and health care providers and to promote education about the disease and its psychological aspects,which can impact the self-efficacy of the programs.However,the true impact of technological approaches on the management of type 2 diabetes distress remains controversial.AIM To investigate the effectiveness of technology interventions on the management of type 2 diabetes distress.METHODS Studies published from 2014 to 2019 were searched in five databases:MEDLINE,PubMed,Library and Information Science Source,Academic Search Ultimate and PsycINFO.The Boolean logic search terms were:(1)T2Diabetes;(2)diabetes distress;and(3)technology OR mobile OR phone OR application OR web.We also systematically searched the reference lists of the included studies and relevant reviews.Randomized controlled trials with technology interventions,type 2 diabetes patients and diabetes distress as the outcome were selected.The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was followed.RESULTS Of the 88 studies selected,nine full articles met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to final careful review.On the JADAD scale,one article was classified as having poor quality and eight as having good quality.Six out of nine articles showed that technology interventions had a positive impact on diabetes distress scale scores when compared with the initial data.Among the six articles,five showed a greater reduction in the diabetes distress scores from control interventions.Web-based interventions had good results when users received personalized feedback and routine caregiver support and attention.CONCLUSION Technology interventions can contribute positively to the management of type 2 diabetes distress,especially with a tailored approach in conjunction with caregiver interaction with patients.

文摘BACKGROUND Evidence relating tobacco smoking to type 2 diabetes has accumulated rapidly in the last few years,rendering earlier reviews considerably incomplete.AIM To review and meta-analyse evidence from prospective studies of the relationship between smoking and the onset of type 2 diabetes.METHODS Prospective studies were selected if the population was free of type 2 diabetes at baseline and evidence was available relating smoking to onset of the disease.Papers were identified from previous reviews,searches on Medline and Embase and reference lists.Data were extracted on a range of study characteristics and relative risks(RRs)were extracted comparing current,ever or former smokers with never smokers,and current smokers with non-current smokers,as well as by amount currently smoked and duration of quitting.Fixed-and random-effects estimates summarized RRs for each index of smoking overall and by various subdivisions of the data:Sex;continent;publication year;method of diagnosis;nature of the baseline population(inclusion/exclusion of pre-diabetes);number of adjustment factors;cohort size;number of type 2 diabetes cases;age;length of follow-up;definition of smoking;and whether or not various factors were adjusted for.Tests of heterogeneity and publication bias were also conducted.RESULTS The literature searches identified 157 relevant publications providing results from 145 studies.Fifty-three studies were conducted in Asia and 53 in Europe,with 32 in North America,and seven elsewhere.Twenty-four were in males,10 in females and the rest in both sexes.Fifteen diagnosed type 2 diabetes from selfreport by the individuals,79 on medical records,and 51 on both.Studies varied widely in size of the cohort,number of cases,length of follow-up,and age.Overall,random-effects estimates of the RR were 1.33[95%confidence interval(CI):1.28-1.38]for current vs never smoking,1.28(95%CI:1.24-1.32)for current vs non-smoking,1.13(95%CI:1.11-1.16)for former vs never smoking,and 1.25(95%CI:1.21-1.28)for ever vs never smoking based on,respectively,99,156,100 and 100 individual risk estimates.Risk estimates were generally elevated in each subdivision of the data by the various factors considered(exceptions being where numbers of estimates in the subsets were very low),though there was significant(P<0.05)evidence of variation by level for some factors.Dose-response analysis showed a clear trend of increasing risk with increasing amount smoked by current smokers and of decreasing risk with increasing time quit.There was limited evidence of publication bias.CONCLUSION The analyses confirmed earlier reports of a modest dose-related association of current smoking and a weaker dose-related association of former smoking with type 2 diabetes risk.
文摘BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes(DT1)in adolescents brings behavioural changes,altered nutritional habits,and eating disorders.AIM To identify and analyze the validated instruments that examine the disordered eating behaviour and eating disorders among adolescents with DT1.METHODS An integrative review was accomplished based on the following databases:PubMed,LILACS,CINAHL,Scopus,Web of Science,and Reference Citation Analysis(RCA),including publications in Portuguese,English,or Spanish,without time limit and time published.RESULTS The main instruments to evaluate disordered eating behaviour were The Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised,The Diabetes Eating Problem Survey,and the eating attitudes test-26,and for eating disorders the main instruments used were The Bulimic Investigation Test of Edinburgh,The Binge Eating Scale,The Child Eating Disorder Examination,The five questions of the(Sick,Control,One,Fat and Food),and The Mind Youth Questionnaire.These instruments showed an effect in evaluating risks regarding nutritional habits or feeding grievances,with outcomes related to weight control,inadequate use of insulin,and glycaemia unmanageability.We did not identify publication bias.CONCLUSION Around the world,the most used scale to study the risk of disordered eating behaviour or eating disorder is The Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised.International researchers use this scale to identify high scores in adolescents with DT1 and a relationship with poorer glycemic control and psychological problems related to body image.

文摘In making purchasing decisions, consumers look to online reviews posted by others who have used or experienced the product/service. Most existing studies on online reviews only focused on their content without addressing how their explanation type influences purchasing decisions, not to mention the boundary conditions for such effects. Based on three experimental studies, this paper examines how explanation type affects the perceived usefulness of online reviews and purchasing decisions, and discusses the boundary conditions for such effects. Our findings show that positive explanation type has a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of online reviews, while negative explanation has an insignificant impact. For search products, there is a positive correlation between the online reviews of explained actions and the perceived usefulness of consumer reviews. For experience products, there is a positive correlation between the online reviews of explained reactions and the perceived usefulness of consumer reviews. Further research found that temporal distance may moderate the effects of explanation type and product type on the perceived usefulness of online reviews. This study also provides a new approach for research on the word-of-mouth(WOM) with meaningful implications for e-commerce firms.

文摘In a paper conceived about five years ago(“Globalization and Public Goods:Too Big to Tackle?”)roughly a dozen factors were linked to explain important causal paths from globalization to the potential output of public goods.The Russian invasion of Ukraine,the corona epidemic,and the increased hegemonic rivalry between China and the U.S.interrupted or even destroyed many of the linkages between globalization and potential public good production.About five important detrimental paths involved in the meantime.In the present article we aim at linking what is left from the previous level of globalization or emerging to form a new and simplified causal model for likely linkages between truncated or(re-)emerging globalization,and the deadly needed output of public goods.These linkages refer to rules of climate control,go to trade linkages and arbitrary tariffs and trade interventions.Regime change,regime formation,and alliance restructuring address aspects of domestic rule and international stability.Selectorate theory,regime type,and exit options for political elites provide key explanatory factors in explaining globalization and public goods productions,or their decay.Where possible we use some data and transformation experiences corroborating our arguments.In other instances need for further empirical macro research will become clear.
