Progress in machine learning technology has truly impacted our lives by tailoring many of our daily experiences to be seamless and intuitive. This innovation has brought about changes in day-to-day routines; from suggesting music based on our emotions to offering recommendations for places to visit or meals to try out. This special issue explores various Machine Learning technologies. Among some are Machine Learning advances that improve human interaction, predict user behaviours, analyse user reviews, and optimize high-risk investments like Bitcoin trading. These technologies enhance user experiences, help businesses refine marketing strategies, and provide quick insights from vast amounts of information, elevating AI to new heights. With the rise of transformation into advanced technologies taking prominence in our lives, we expect to see these machine learning innovations being integrated across many sectors and uses.

INTRODUCTION: This article is part of a special series designed to help authors in the process of scientific writing. OBJECTIVE: To address common mistakes that researchers commit while writing a manuscript, in order to understand and optimize the process of writing a new research paper. METHODS: The authors made a nonsystematic search in the current literature (PubMed) to retrieve papers that address the most frequent mistakes found by editors, peer reviewers, journals and authors. RESULTS: According to the search results, key findings about the most common mistakes for each section of a manuscript were described (introduction section, methods section, results section, discussion section, conclusion section, references, title and abstract). CONCLUSION: There is a great amount of avoidable mistakes in each section of a scientific manuscript. Overall, among the most common mistakes are missing data, incomplete sections, excessive report of current literature or reporting data in an inadequate section.

This issue of the Journal contains an article by Gynning et al (1) on the impact of work-life interference on burnout and job discontent in a sample of 1575 physicians in Sweden. The authors measured work-life interference and burnout at baseline in 2021, followed participants for one year, and then measured burnout again. Higher levels of work-life interference in 2021 were associated with an increased risk of high burnout in 2022, after adjustment for sex, occupational rank, family situation, work hours, overtime work, work with COVID-19 patients, and high burnout in 2021. The estimates for the association were substantial, with odds ratios of 3.67 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.78-4.83] and 1.53 (95% CI 1.05-2.25) in the crude and the adjusted analysis, respectively. Work-life interference in 2021 was also associated with risk of job dissatisfaction and turnover intention in 2022. Whereas the design of the study was simple and straightforward, the researched phenomena, both the exposure − work-life interference − and the outcome − burnout − are anything but simple and straightforward. Work-life interference Work-life interference and related concepts, such as work-life balance or work-family conflict, have been viewed and understood differently, depending on historical and other contexts. In the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the demand for a healthy balance between work and life might have been best expressed in the slogan “eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest”, allegedly coined by the British textile manufacturer and social reformer Robert Owen (1771–1858). Although the link between number of working hours and work-life balance persisted in the 21st century − as illustrated in a review by Albertsen et al (2) on working hours and work-life balance published in this journal in 2008 − new aspects emerged, such as the role of gender and gender disparities. Albertsen et al reported in their review that long working hours were strongly associated with a risk of lower work-life balance among women, whereas among men the association was much less clear. Today, there is a substantial literature studying and critically discussing concepts such as work-life interference and work-life balance from a feminist and post-feminist perspective (3, 4). In recent years, a generational perspective has been added to the research on work-life interference. It has been argued that workers from Generation Y (Gen Y or Millennials), comprising those born between the early 1980s and the mid-to-late 1990s, and Gen Z, those born between the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2010s, are more sensitive about the negative effects of work on life and focused on protecting themselves from work that interferes with life than previous generations (such as Gen X or Baby Boomers) (5, 6). Other researchers, though, have strongly criticized the generational perspective and argue there are little-to-no generational effects and that the apparent differences between the generations are actually due to age and period effects (7). An important period effect might be that in this day and age, the distinction between work and life is becoming less clear compared to earlier days of industrialized societies. Whether this is good or not for workers’ physical and mental health is not easy to answer. For many workers, and in particular but not limited to highly educated professionals (such as us, academic researchers), work is a major part of life and a key contributor to identity and self-esteem. The domains of work and life are often so much entangled that terms such as “interference” or “balance” may not be adequate to describe the relation between the two. The distinction between work and life may be further blurred because of technological advancements that allow a growing proportion of workers to work from home. Burnout The term burnout emerged in the 1970s from research on physical and mental exhaustion among volunteer workers in the USA (8). It gained popularity in particular due to the work by Christina Maslach, professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, and the development of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (9). Maslach conceptualized burnout with three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (also termed cynicism), and reduced personal accomplishment (also termed reduced professional efficacy) (9). While the Maslach burnout inventory is by far the most widely-used instrument to assess burnout, it has also been criticized and controversially discussed, in particular with regard to the dimensions of depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishments (10, 11). Several other instruments, definitions, and conceptualizations of burnout have been proposed over the decades (12). A few years ago, the Network on the Coordination and Harmonisation of European Occupational Cohorts (OMEGA-NET) set up a panel of 50 researchers and healthcare professionals, with the aim of developing a consensual definition of occupational burnout. The results were published in the Journal in 2021 (12). The consensus definition was: “In a worker, occupational burnout or occupational physical AND emotional exhaustion state is an exhaustion due to prolonged exposure to work-related problems” (12). This brief consensus definition was the result of the panel`s impressive work that included reviews of the literature, critical discussions of the findings, and thoughtful deliberations. However, already in the next issue of the Journal, the consensus definition was challenged. In an editorial, Wilmar Schaufeli concluded that several questions regarding burnout still remain unsolved (13). One question is whether “exhaustion” is sufficient to define burnout, as the panel argued, or, as Schaufeli argued, that the burnout concept requires the inclusion of both the inability to spend effort at work (exhaustion) and the unwillingness to spend this effort (what Schaufeli termed “mental distancing”). Gynning et al (1) seem to have followed Schaufel`s reasoning and used in their study the Burnout Assessment Tool 12 (BAT-12) (14), a measurement that includes items both on exhaustion and mental distancing (see the supplementary material of their article for the wording of the items). Prevalence of burnout among physicians When one searches the Web of Science for the topics “work-life interference" OR "work-life balance”, remarkably, the top-five cited articles that show up are all about burnout among physicians (15–19). It is further notable that each of these five articles had more than 1000 citations even though they were relatively recently published: in 2018 (two articles), 2016, 2015, and 2012, respectively. Thus, it seems fair to conclude that the study by Gynning et al addresses an area of great contemporary interest. Is prevalence of burnout particularly high among physicians compared to other occupational groups? The seminal article by Shanafelt et al (15) reported that 45.8% of the physicians showed at least one burnout symptom on the Maslach Burnout Inventory. For comparison with a US population control sample, Shanafelt and colleagues used a 2-item burnout measure that yielded a burnout prevalence of 37.9% among physicians and 27.8% among controls. Recently, Møller et al (20, 21) presented results from a burnout study that invited all 104 active vascular surgeons (including vascular surgeons in training) employed at a department of vascular surgery in a Danish hospital. Of those 104 surgeons, 85 completed the survey, yielding an astonishing response rate of 82%. Burnout was measured with the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, which assesses exhaustion (but not mental distancing) on three separate scales: personal burnout (exhaustion without attribution to a cause), work-related burnout (exhaustion attributed to work), and client/patient-related burnout (exhaustion attributed to work with clients or patients (10). The prevalence of moderate or severe burnout was 28%, 16% and 4% for personal, work-related, and client/patient-related burnout, respectively (20). Compared to the burnout prevalence reported by Shanafelt et al (15) and Møller et al (20), the burnout prevalence reported by Gynning et al is rather low (4.5% and 5.8% in 2021 and 2022, respectively). There might be many explanations for these huge differences in burnout prevalence across the three studies, such as different response rates and bias due to selective non-response or differences in working conditions between the USA, Denmark and Sweden. The most likely explanation, though, is probably the use of different instruments to measure burnout and thereby different definitions of burnout used in the three studies. Thus, for comparative studies, across countries, industries, or job group, a harmonization of burnout measurements is needed. Mechanisms As delineated above, work hours and overtime work are seen as crucial components of work-life interference in the literature (2). It is therefore remarkable that Gynning et al reported that the association between work-life interference and burnout remained, even after adjusting for work hours and overtime work. So, what is it in work that is interfering with life if not work hours and overtime? The five items to measure work-life interference in the study by Gynning et al are rather general: (i) feeling tired when coming home from work; (ii) private life is not as desired because of work; (iii) overlook personal problems because of demands at work; (iv) personal life suffers because of work; (v) change and adapt personal life to demands at work (see the Supplementary Material of the article for the exact wording of the items). The demands at work that are mentioned in the items could be quantitative demands, including work intensity, but also emotional demands, which tend to be high among physicians (22). It is also possible, though, that the respondents viewed “demands” more broadly and subsumed under the term interpersonal conflicts at work or poor work organization. In an invited commentary to Møller et al`s (21) study on burnout among vascular surgeons, Jonathan Meizoso, a US-American physician, discussed possible explanations for the high burnout prevalence in the study (23). He first expressed his puzzlement that so many Danish vascular surgeons reported burnout, in particular since the working conditions of the Danish physicians seem to be so much better compared to their US-American counterparts (37-hour regular work week, paid overtime work, paid sick leave, paid maternity and paternity leave, six weeks of paid vacation). But then he pointed to adverse working conditions listed in the article that sounded familiar to him as a physician practicing in the USA, such as “increasing bureaucracy, rising requirements of documentation, and an unfavorable electronic health record system”(23). On a theoretical level, these factors seem to be related to the concepts of “unnecessary and unreasonable tasks” in the “Stress as Offense to Self” framework (24). Future studies on work-life interference and burnout might want to examine these and other work organizational factors as potential determinants of work-life interference. These studies could also investigate the extent to which a possible effect of work organizational factors on the risk of burnout is due to work-life interference and the extent to which such an effect occurs via other mechanisms.

Editorial del decimonoveno número de Con A de animación.

The growing concerns around sustainability along the supply chains are global. The complexity of supply chain sustainability becomes even more pronounced across the multiple tiers of organisations and networks and has imposed heavy pressures on organisations. Dealing with these pressures on society and the environment requires supply chains to lessen their socio-environmental impact. Multi-tier sustainable supply chains are a vehicle to aid in this important global goal. However, addressing these issues and concerns in the production processes and consumption of businesses and organisations is still in its early stages. In light of this, this Special Issue published in the International Journal of Production Research advances this important research agenda. Seventeen articles which were accepted for this Special Issue employed various methodologies/methods, theories, and contexts to respond to the need for research and provided valuable insights that address some of the pressing multi-tier supply chain sustainability problems. This Editorial provides an overview of these works, highlighting opportunities for future search directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 25th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC 2024, open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024) was part of the 2024 conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB 2024). Launched in 2000 and held yearly since, BOSC is the premier meeting covering open-source bioinformatics and open science. ISMB 2024 was held in Montréal, Canada, with an online participation option. A total of nearly 2000 people attended; about 200 people participated in BOSC sessions. Over the course of two days, BOSC covered a wide range of topics in open science and open source bioinformatics, including Data Analysis, Open Data, Visualization, Developer Tools and Libraries, Standards and Frameworks for Open Science, and Open AI/ML. Mélanie Courtot delivered an impactful first keynote with a perspective on how “The Data Shows We Need Better Data”. The second keynote speaker, Andrew Su, discussed “Open Data, Knowledge Graphs, and Large Language Models.” BOSC ended with a panel, “Open Source AI/ML: A Game Changer for Bioinformatics?,” in which Lawrence Hunter and Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou joined BOSC’s keynote speakers as panelists. Immediately following BOSC, the CollaborationFest was held at Montréal’s University of Québec campus. First launched in 2010, CoFest is a collaborative work event held yearly around BOSC. This year’s CoFest included 42 participants who worked together on 10 projects.

In this introduction to the Special Section 'Laboratory Times', the editors argue that a focused body of scholarship at the intersection of time and the laboratory has yet to materialize. To contextualize the papers that comprise the Special Section, we survey the role of the lab within time studies, as well as the place of temporality within Science and Technology Studies (STS). We show how time is made to structure and shape scientific practice and how scientists work with and create time to suit the frames and needs of experimentation. While one might expect to find as many forms of scientific time as there are branches of science, the specific temporalities of bench science have been largely overlooked by scholars. We introduce the arguments of the papers in this Special Section - observing their shared interest in the ways that time is materialized, negotiated and produced in laboratory settings. We conclude by imagining a future in which a research trajectory focused on 'Laboratory TImes' brings scholars in time studies and STS further into conversation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article addresses the underrepresentation of Global South scholars in Global North journals. In order to explore this issue, we conducted a study on the submission decisions of Global South scholars, with a focus on International Relations (IR). We collected novel data on IR scholars based in Latin America and conducted a conjoint experiment on a sample of 446 scholars. Our study provides the first experimental evidence of journal submission choice in Political Science in the Global South. Our findings indicate that both journal attributes and individual characteristics impact the choice of journal, including factors such as language, editorial location, and acceptance rates. This research has important implications for the discipline and for journal editors in the Global North, as it provides valuable insights on how to promote diversity in academic publishing as well as the limits of such strategies.

Objectives: The peer review process is critical to maintaining quality, reliability, novelty, and innovation in the scientific literature. However, the teaching of scientific peer review is rarely a component of formal scientific or clinical training, and even the most experienced peer reviewers express interest in continuing education. The objective of this review article is to summarize the collective perspectives of experienced journal editors about how to be a good reviewer in a step-by-step guide that can serve as a resource for the performance of peer review of a scientific manuscript. Methods: This is a narrative review. Results: A review of the history and an overview of the modern-day peer review process are provided with attention to the role played by the reviewer, including important reasons for involvement in scientific peer review. The general components of a scientific peer review are described, and a model for how to structure a peer review report is provided. These concepts are also summarized in a reviewer checklist that can be used in real-time to develop and double-check one's reviewer report before submitting it. Conclusions: Peer review is a critically important service for maintaining quality in the scientific literature. Peer review of a scientific manuscript and the associated reviewer's report should assess specific details related to the accuracy, validity, novelty, and interpretation of a study's results. We hope that this article will serve as a resource and guide for reviewers of all levels of experience in the performance of peer review of a scientific manuscript. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La demanda de rehabilitación está creciendo; sin embargo, los estudios que demuestran ser superiores en el formato grupal lo hacen a través de la significancia estadística, no por la significancia clínica. La rehabilitación individual puede brindar mejor interacción paciente-terapeuta y, por lo tanto, puede ser beneficiosa para algunas personas.

Introduction to the monothematic block "Anthropocene Epoch: Rethinking the Environmental and Political Philosophy in the Global Environmental Crisis."

Is mór an onóir é don Fhoireann Eagarthóireachta nua an 31ú heagrán den iris TEANGA a chur i láthair agus clochmhíle thábhachtach á chéiliúradh againn: comóradh cúig bliana daichead na hirise. Bliain bhisiúil agus thairbheach ab ea í dúinn mar eagarthóirí, agus tá ríméad orainn i ngeall ar an líon mór páipéar ar ardchaighdeán a fuarthas i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. Léiriú ar dhíogras agus ar dhúthracht iar-eagarthoirí na hirise is ea rannpháirtíocht láidir an phobail léinn. Ba dhíol béime acu go ndéanfaí an iontaofacht agus an tsoiléireacht a chur chun cinn, ar dlúthchodanna den iris iad. Ba mhaith linn buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil leis na hiar-eagarthóirí as an tacaíocht leanúnach a thug siad dúinn agus sinn ag dul i ngleic lenár gcúraimí úra mar eagarthóirí. Chuir an tacaíocht seo ar ár gcumas tógáil ar an mbonn láidir acadúil a leagadh síos go nuige seo. Déanfaimid ár ndícheall na hardchaighdeáin a leagadh síos roimhe seo a choimeád. Airítear páipéar tosaigh, deich bpáipéar taighde agus léirmheas leabhair amháin in eagrán reatha na hirise. Cé go gcuimsítear réimse leathan ábhar anseo, is féidir scagadh a dhéanamh ar na páipéir de réir dhá mhórchatagóir, catagóirí atá fós comhlántach lena chéile mar sin féin – cleachtais teanga agus oideachas teanga. As the new Editorial Team, it is our honour to both introduce the 31st issue of TEANGA and to celebrate an important milestone: the journal’s 45th anniversary. It has been a dynamic and rewarding year since we assumed our roles, and we are thrilled by the volume and quality of submissions received in both Irish and English. This strong engagement from the scholarly community is a testament to the hard work of our predecessors, who have advanced the journal’s commitment to scientific rigour and international visibility. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the outgoing team for all their support and for making the transition so smooth which enabled us to build upon a solid foundation of excellence. We will strive to maintain the high standards set by them. The current issue includes one introductory paper, ten research papers and one book review. While the content of the research papers is wide ranging, it can be broken down into two broad, yet complementary categories – language practices and language education. The Editors: Anne Marie Devlin, Katie Ní Loingsigh, T.J. Ó Ceallaigh and Aisling O’Donnell

É com satisfação que apresentamos uma nova edição especial da revista "Psicopatologia Fenomenológica Contemporânea". Nesta versão, reunimos uma seleção de nove artigos criados a partir das apresentações orais do XII simpósio da Sociedade Brasileira de Psicopatologia Fenômeno-Estrutural.

The Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics remains a cornerstone in the academic and research landscape of Philippine orthopaedics. Orthopaedic surgery is continually evolving, driven by improvements in musculoskeletal and trauma care outcomes. In this issue, we focus on trauma involving the pelvis, acetabulum, tibia, spine, and hand, as well as innovations that could shape the Philippine orthopaedic landscape. Trauma management may differ from the ideal, yet outcomes can still be optimized. Delaying surgery for acetabular fractures by two weeks has been shown to yield similar outcomes to immediate treatment. Closed management of tibial fractures may also be a viable option for patients nearing skeletal maturity. Understanding the epidemiology of spine disorders in our population is crucial. In a tertiary hospital setting, traumatic spine disorders were the most common causes of admission (66%), while among non-traumatic causes, tuberculous infection was the most common etiology (74.7%). Surgery for patients with intermediate SINS (Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score) was found to reduce both functional decline and the risk of revision surgery compared to medical management. Percutaneous pinning of proximal phalanges and metacarpals under conventional radiographic guidance in the emergency room resulted in 47% of patients achieving good or excellent outcomes in terms of total active motion of the fingers on follow-up. A randomized controlled study on WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) for hand surgery concluded that lower concentrations of lidocaine may be sufficient for short procedures. Another study comparing the classic Atasoy flap to the Pentagonal flap for fingertip injuries found no significant differences in terms of technique, sensation, patient satisfaction, return to work, and complications. However, the Pentagonal flap was advantageous for larger defects where tension-free closure might be challenging. Two papers reported innovative materials research. Digital finite element analysis was used to design and simulate biomechanical testing of materials for an external fixator clamp. The resulting 3D-printed plastic resin was then used to create iFix clamp prototypes, which displayed comparable deformation under axial loading when compared with conventional Roger-Anderson clamps. Titanium nail-spanning systems have also been designed and manufactured locally for limb salvage surgery (primary knee resection-arthrodesis) in tumors around the knee, and they have proven useful when a prosthesis is not available. I would like to congratulate the authors for their steadfast commitment to advancing Philippine orthopaedic research. As the field continues to evolve, the PJO will remain at the forefront of driving positive change, improving patient outcomes, and shaping the future of orthopaedic practice in the Philippines and beyond. As we enter our third year of publication, I wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year on behalf of our Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, and dedicated editorial staff. Mabuhay!

Edição Temática: “O uso de vídeos digitais em educação matemática: possibilidades e desafios”.

This issue of the Weizenbaum Journal of the Digital Society addresses the increasing prevalence of algorithmic management in both business and public administration. This subject is the focus of vigorous debate across sociology, law, political science, and economics. The articles featured in this issue not only analyse the historical foundations of this practice but also examine its manifestations in various contexts, extending beyond the gig economy to encompass other industries.

ABSTRACT Microbiologists, like scientists in any other biomedical field, are too engrossed in writing research papers. Aided by both expanding research programs and shrinking resources, this will continue for the foreseeable time. In this editorial, I discuss a compelling need for all microbiologists to dedicate some time to writing non-research publications such as minireviews, perspectives, commentary, opinion/hypothesis, and other non-research article types. I also list the benefits to the field, of review articles and how they can have the potential to change the field. I have provided a handful of classic examples of reviews that clearly changed the field in a remarkable way as well as a number of reviews that clarified the field and facilitated future research.

The papers in this issue offer novel insights and tools to recraft and extend innovation beyond its traditional domains to focus on complex global challenges, driving innovation frontiers toward transformative and impactful outcomes. In an era where economic growth, societal progress and social equity are focal for policy makers, this issue explores the power of structure and experimentation to surface the complexities of university and industry collaboration.
