Sustainable production in upland watersheds is a formidable challenge for farmers. The trade-off laid between economic benefits (productivity) and sustainability. Farmers’ resilience in the upstream watershed needs to meet sustainable agricultural production. This paper was conducted to review the local driving factors which are supporting economic resilience and climate change mitigation to sustainable production in upland watersheds. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design as preliminary exposure toward the key variables and driving question. The framework of a systematic literature review refers to the conservation and environmental management that is built with PRISMA protocol. SLR protocol starts from planning review, citation screening, data extraction, and analysis. The review addressed terms of current developments and plans for the participatory in sustainable watersheds management. This review article performed the basic steps of SLR and meta-analysis studies on environmental science and agricultural and biological science fields. The SLR protocol starts from planning review, citation screening, data extraction, review progress, the analysis result. The keywords addressed to current study in sustainable production in upland watersheds. This review has highlighted that agroforestry as a primary driving factor in directing the sustainable production in upland. Agroforestry within coffee farming could set as sustainable production system in upstream watersheds.

Paediatric Intensive Care Units

IntroductionIn the general population, female children have been reported to have a survival advantage. For children admitted to paediatric intensive care units (PICUs), mortality has been reported to be lower in males despite the higher admission rates for males into intensive care. This apparent sex reversal in PICU mortality is not well studied. To address this, we propose to conduct a systematic literature review to summarise the available evidence. Our review will study the reported differences in mortality between males and females aged 0–17, who died in a PICU, to examine if there is a difference between the two sexes in PICU mortality, and if so, to describe the magnitude and direction of this difference.Methods and analysisStudies that directly or indirectly addressed the association between sex and mortality in children admitted to intensive care will be eligible for inclusion. Studies that directly address the association will be eligible for data extraction. The search strings were based on terms related to the population (children in intensive care), the exposure (sex) and the outcome (mortality). We used the databases MEDLINE (1946–2020), Embase (1980–2020) and Web of Science (1985–2020) as these cover relevant clinical publications. We will assess the reliability of included studies using the risk of bias in observational studies of exposures tool. We will consider a pooled effect if we have at least three studies with similar periods of follow up and adjustment variables.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this review as it will synthesise data from existing studies. This manuscript is a part of a larger data linkage study, for which Ethical approval was granted. Dissemination will be via peer-reviewed journals and via public and patient groups.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020203009.

PurposeBusiness process modeling can involve multiple stakeholders, so it is natural that problems may occur during the designing and understanding processes. One way to perceive these problems is to evaluate the comprehension of business process models through the collection of data related to the readers' eye movement via an eye-tracking device. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of eye-trackers in understanding process models and to offer a research roadmap to challenge the community to address the identified limitations and open issues that require further investigation.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve this goal, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was performed following good practices from the Evidence-Based Software Engineering's (EBSE) field.FindingsThis study resulted in 10 primary studies selected for analysis and data extraction, from the 1,482 initially retrieved. The major findings indicate that the business process community still benefits little from the use of eye-tracking, e.g. not offering sufficient support for inexperienced designers and not having an explicit standardization in its use. These and other findings are synthesized in a research roadmap which results would benefit researchers and practitioners.Originality/valueIn the studies found, the methods used to explore eyes' movement in process models' comprehension analysis were presented as an advantage of the current study. Additionally, another aspect presented in this SRL as an originality is presenting a set of open questions, suggesting valuable topics for future research through a research script (research roadmap).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic search of the peer-reviewed qualitative literature investigating the lived experience of seclusion for adults with mental health difficulties, to appraise the quality of the existing literature and synthesise findings. Background: seclusion is a controversial intervention for the short-term management of unsafe behaviours in inpatient mental health services. There has been some sporadic interest in service users’ experiences of this. Design/methodology/approach Systematic literature review and meta-synthesis: data sources – databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PSYCINFO were searched in July 2015; review methods – the Joanna Briggs Institute’s Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument tools for critical appraisal and data extraction were used to review papers and synthesise findings. Findings A small number of papers were found, which were of mixed quality. Originality/value The existing research is limited in both quantity and quality. Although most participants from the existing research described seclusion as mostly negative with the potential for causing iatrogenic harm, some described more positive experiences, often in the context of compassionate interactions with staff.

ObjectivesPerform a systematic literature review (SLR) on risk and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).MethodsLiterature was searched up to 31 May 2021, including (randomised) controlled trials and observational studies with patients with RMD. Pending quality assessment, data extraction was performed and risk of bias (RoB) was assessed. Quality assessment required provision of (1) an appropriate COVID-19 case definition, and (2a) a base incidence (for incidence data) or (2b) a comparator, >10 cases with the outcome and risk estimates minimally adjusted for age, sex and comorbidities (for risk factor data).ResultsOf 5165 records, 208 were included, of which 90 passed quality assessment and data were extracted for incidence (n=42), risk factor (n=42) or vaccination (n=14). Most studies had unclear/high RoB. Generally, patients with RMDs do not face more risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 (n=26 studies) or worse prognosis of COVID-19 (n=14) than individuals without RMDs. No consistent differences in risk of developing (severe) COVID-19 were found between different RMDs (n=19). Disease activity is associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis (n=2), possibly explaining the increased risk seen for glucocorticoid use (n=13). Rituximab is associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis (n=7) and possibly Janus kinase inhibitors (n=3). Vaccination is generally immunogenic, though antibody responses are lower than in controls. Vaccine immunogenicity is negatively associated with older age, rituximab and mycophenolate.ConclusionThis SLR informed the July 2021 update of the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology recommendations for the management of RMDs in the context of SARS-CoV-2.

BACKGROUND Chronic and mental conditions are increasingly prevalent worldwide. As devices in our everyday lives offer more and more voice-based self-service, voice-based conversational agents (VCAs) have the potential to support the prevention and management of these conditions in a scalable way. VCAs allow for a more natural interaction compared to text-based conversational agents, facilitate input for users who cannot type, allow for routine monitoring and support when in-person healthcare is not possible, and open the doors to voice and speech analysis. The state of the art of VCAs for chronic and mental conditions is, however, unclear. OBJECTIVE This systematic literature review aims to provide a better understanding of state-of-the-art research on VCAs delivering interventions for the prevention and management of chronic and mental conditions. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature review using PubMed Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. We included primary research that involved the prevention or management of chronic or mental conditions, where the voice was the primary interaction modality of the conversational agent, and where an empirical evaluation of the system in terms of system accuracy and/or in terms of technology acceptance was included. Two independent reviewers conducted screening and data extraction and measured their agreement with Cohen’s kappa. A narrative approach was applied to synthesize the selected records. RESULTS Twelve out of 7’170 articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the studies (N=10) were non-experimental, while the remainder (N=2) were quasi-experimental. The VCAs provided behavioral support (N=5), a health monitoring service (N=3), or both (N=4). The VCA services were delivered via smartphone (N=5), tablet (N=2), or smart speakers (N=3). In two cases, no device was specified. Three VCAs targeted cancer, while two VCAs each targeted diabetes and heart failure. The other VCAs targeted hearing-impairment, asthma, Parkinson's disease, dementia and autism, “intellectual disability”, and depression. The majority of the studies (N=7) assessed technology acceptance but only a minority (N=3) used validated instruments. Half of the studies (N=6) reported either performance measures on speech recognition or on the ability of VCA’s to respond to health-related queries. Only a minority of the studies (N=2) reported behavioral measure or a measure of attitudes towards intervention-related health behavior. Moreover, only a minority of studies (N=4) reported controlling for participant’s previous experience with technology. CONCLUSIONS Considering the heterogeneity of the methods and the limited number of studies identified, it seems that research on VCAs for chronic and mental conditions is still in its infancy. Although results in system accuracy and technology acceptance are encouraging, there still is a need to establish evidence on the efficacy of VCAs for the prevention and management of chronic and mental conditions, both in absolute terms and in comparison to standard healthcare.

Visualization System

Having a solid theoretical foundation is essential for designing an effective software visualization (SV) tool. Despite the decades of developing different SV tools, there are still doubts about their effectiveness. Furthermore, learner engagement plays an important role in building a successful SV tool. In programming education, the problem of the high failure rates among students is still unresolved. Therefore, there is a need to understand the theories behind the exciting SV tools from the engagement perspective in order to have a road map for future tool construction. Yet the factors influencing learner engagement in SV tools are still unclear. This study set out to determine how to develop an SV design model to enhance student engagement in an introductory programming course. A systematic literature review (SLR) was used to obtain an overview of the current theoretical foundation used. The search identified a total of 432 papers between 2011 and 2017. This study examined 58 papers selected based on a well-defined selection process. In this paper, the contribution in constructing the protocol for SLR is presented as well as the preliminary results of the study. The researchers were in the process of data extraction phase to address the research questions. The expected outcomes of this review became the identification of a theoretical background used to construct and explain engagement in software visualization. The expected output of this study was a list of the factors that have a positive impact on learner engagement in SV tools.

Background: Headache is a frequent symptom of stroke, but little is known about the true incidence of headache following a haemorrhagic stroke, or if there are any risk factors for experiencing stroke-related headache. A systematic literature review was undertaken to examine the burden of headache in haemorrhagic stroke. Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, SAGE Premier, Wiley Online Library and Elsevier's ScienceDirect, with a date range of January 1990 to October 2016, for human subjects and written in English was performed. Study selection using clear criteria was undertaken, and data extraction and assessment of quality was performed. Results: Some five from a total of 27 studies met the selection criteria. A total of 483 participants were included. The pooled random effects model showed 0.5528 (95% CI 0.3756-0.7235) had headache at onset, and 0.3917 (95% CI 0.1156-0.7108) had long-term headaches. A pooled estimate for gender as a risk factor showed women had an odds ratio (OR) of 1.93 (95% CI 1.16-3.22). Conclusions: Approximately 55% of patients with intracranial haemorrhage will experience headaches at stroke onset, with a further 39% experiencing long-term headaches. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to experience headache post-intracranial haemorrhage.
