Abstract Background Study-based registers facilitate systematic reviews through shortening the process for review team and reducing considerable waste during the review process. Such a register also provides new insights about trends of trials in a sub-specialty. This paper reports development and content analysis of Cochrane Schizophrenia Group’s Study-Based Register. Methods The randomized controlled trials were collected through systematic searches of major information sources. Data points were extracted, curated and classified in the register. We report trends using regression analyses in Microsoft Excel and we used GIS mapping (GunnMap 2) to visualize the geographical distribution of the origin of schizophrenia trials. Results Although only 17% of trials were registered, the number of reports form registered trials is steadily increasing and registered trials produce more reports. Clinical trial registers are main source of trial reports followed by sub-specialty journals. Schizophrenia trials have been published in 23 languages from 90 countries while 105 nations do not have any reported schizophrenia trials. Only 9.7% of trials were included in at least one Cochrane review. Pharmacotherapy is the main target of trials while trials targeting psychotherapy are increasing in a continuous rate. The number of people randomized in trials is on average 114 with 60 being the most frequent sample size. Conclusions Curated datasets within the register uncover new patterns in data that have implications for research, policy, and practice for testing new interventions in trials or systematic reviews.

This article proposes and evaluates a management model to boost the dairy production development from the perspective of a business ecosystem concept. This study proposes a management model based on two bibliographic systematic reviews of the dairy production. To analyze the resulting portfolio, the authors used a prior content analysis proposed by another researcher, which served as the basis for analysis and discussion of the elements for the model construction. Then, the model was tested with dairy experts. This research identified a total of 13 models which apply to dairy production and 2 models from the business ecosystem concept perspective. Consulting with 450 experts in the dairy sector, the authors empirically evaluated the model. The authors found that the results demonstrated an important validity indicator and model reliability in practice. Based on the finding, this article proposes a management model for dairy production from the business ecosystem concept.

Successful Implementation

BACKGROUND Remote measurement technology refers to the use of mobile health technology to track and measure change in health status in real time as part of a person’s everyday life. With accurate measurement, remote measurement technology offers the opportunity to augment health care by providing personalized, precise, and preemptive interventions that support insight into patterns of health-related behavior and self-management. However, for successful implementation, users need to be engaged in its use. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to systematically review the literature to update and extend the understanding of the key barriers to and facilitators of engagement with and use of remote measurement technology, to guide the development of future remote measurement technology resources. METHODS We conducted a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines involving original studies dating back to the last systematic review published in 2014. We included studies if they met the following entry criteria: population (people using remote measurement technology approaches to aid management of health), intervention (remote measurement technology system), comparison group (no comparison group specified), outcomes (qualitative or quantitative evaluation of the barriers to and facilitators of engagement with this system), and study design (randomized controlled trials, feasibility studies, and observational studies). We searched 5 databases (MEDLINE, IEEE Xplore, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library) for articles published from January 2014 to May 2017. Articles were independently screened by 2 researchers. We extracted study characteristics and conducted a content analysis to define emerging themes to synthesize findings. Formal quality assessments were performed to address risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 33 studies met inclusion criteria, employing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs. Studies were conducted in 10 countries, included male and female participants, with ages ranging from 8 to 95 years, and included both active and passive remote monitoring systems for a diverse range of physical and mental health conditions. However, they were relatively short and had small sample sizes, and reporting of usage statistics was inconsistent. Acceptability of remote measurement technology according to the average percentage of time used (64%-86.5%) and dropout rates (0%-44%) was variable. The barriers and facilitators from the content analysis related to health status, perceived utility and value, motivation, convenience and accessibility, and usability. CONCLUSIONS The results of this review highlight gaps in the design of studies trialing remote measurement technology, including the use of quantitative assessment of usage and acceptability. Several processes that could facilitate engagement with this technology have been identified and may drive the development of more person-focused remote measurement technology. However, these factors need further testing through carefully designed experimental studies.

Objective: We aimed to describe the scope of cleft-related infanticide and identify issues that might inform prevention strategies. Design: Systematic reviews of both academic (eg, PubMed, EBSCOhost) and lay literature (eg, LexisNexis Academic, Google) databases were performed to identify all primary reports of cleft-related infanticide. All languages were included. Records before 1985 were excluded. Reference lists of all included reports were screened for potentially relevant records. Main Outcome Measures: Country of origin and excerpts that pertained to the concepts surrounding cleft-related infanticide were extracted. Extracted excerpts were examined using a content analysis framework. Results: Of the 1,151 records retrieved, 70 reports documented cleft-related infanticide from 27 countries. The largest number of reports was from China (14 reports; 48% of reports), followed by India (4; 14%) and Nigeria (4; 14%). However, 2 countries had 3 reports, 5 countries had 2 reports, and 17 countries had 1 report. Themes that emerged from excerpt analysis included stigma, lack of affordable cleft care, abandonment, orphanage overcrowding, and abuse and slavery. Conclusions: Cleft-related infanticide is a global problem. Initiatives to sensitize communities to cleft lip and/or cleft palate, provide timely and affordable cleft care, and build support systems for affected families may prove beneficial. Cleft care organizations have the opportunity to advocate for these initiatives, reduce the incidence of infanticide by providing or supporting timely and affordable cleft care, and demonstrate that children with successful cleft repairs reassimilate well into their communities.

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.
