Health Threats

Abstract Background The storm of increasing global disease burden and health threats calls for the combined utilisation of all disciplines to promote global health. In practice, natural sciences and clinical perspectives still dominate global health discussions and proposed solutions, with little room for effective collaborations with social sciences and humanities. The aim is to examine the extent of multidisciplinary collaborations in global health, identify and analyse the types of actors and disciplinary approaches employed, and the modes or patterns of multidisciplinarity. Vaccine hesitancy and refusal, and the Ebola epidemic of 2014-16 serve our analysis as two case studies of recent global health threats, that brought various global health actors together in diverse projects: Methods A literature review was conducted using the PubMed database and Google Scholar over a period of five years (2014-2019). Results The findings suggest that different social science and humanities disciplines were involved in solving global health threats at different stages and in various ways. We identified two types of collaboration: 1) Reactive collaborations where a team of health experts in the natural sciences turn to social sciences only because of challenges in implementing the project. 2) Interactive collaborations, that aim to involve social sciences in the early stages of research, development, and implementation of programs to understand and work effectively within the cultural and social contexts of communities affected by health emergencies. This type of interaction pays more attention to affected populations and the health workers, who are responsible for implementing the SDGs and global health interventions. Conclusions Disciplinary hierarchies are huge barriers to solving global challenges. A transdisciplinary framework has most potential to respond effectively to global health threats and action is needed to implement this approach in global health education.

Field-based learning in higher education is lacking both in practice at colleges and in research within the academic literature. This study aims to address these deficits by exploring the benefits of, and suggesting strategies for, executing field study in higher education across a variety of courses. We report the results of a qualitative research design that included the observation of five courses within the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Approximately eight students per observed course were interviewed three times during their course to assess perceptions of the class, their peers and instructor, the field experiences, and their motivation throughout the course. In total, 130 individual interviews were conducted with 45 students. Results revealed that field-based learning enhances the degree of relatedness students feel with their classmates and instructors, they have a greater degree of intrinsic motivation in the course, and these experiences facilitate learning in ways that may not be replicated in the traditional classroom. In addition, we created a typology of field-based learning, which includes eight different trips that could be employed in higher education courses. We also identified general strategies to improve the execution of these trips.

Scientific Phenomenon

Ever since its beginnings, mathematics has occupied a special position among all sciences, natural, as well as social sciences and humanities. It has not only provided a role model in terms of methodology, particularly when it comes to natural sciences, but other sciences have always relied on mathematics extensively both in their development and for solving various open questions. The beginning of the 21st century foregrounded the issue of the so-called explanatory role of mathematics in science. However, the reference literature features only a few examples as illustration of this role. This paper aims at showing that those examples, even though they are used for illustrating precisely the same purpose, also illustrate various explanatory scopes which mathematical tools can reach within a scientific explanation. Some of these examples also show how mathematics, unfortunately, provides false credibility to scientific explanations.

The Impact

Peranan Statistika sebagai salah satu bidang ilmu yang berfungsi untuk merencanakan, mengumpulkan, menganalisis, menginterpretasi, dan merepresentasikan data sebagai dasar untuk pengambilan keputusan sangat penting bagi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Oleh karena itu, tidak mengherankan jika Statistika banyak digunakan dalam berbagai disiplin ilmu lain, antara lain ilmu alam, ilmu sosial, maupun ilmu humaniora. Mengingat tidak semua pengguna statistika memiliki latar belakang pendidikan Matematika, maka penggunaan alat bantu program SPSS menjadi alternatif yang patut dipertimbangkan. Sayangnya, dalam aplikasinya, pengguna SPSS lebih banyak sekedar mengikuti langkah-langkah prosedural tanpa memahami mengapa mereka melakukan hal tersebut. Dampaknya, pengguna SPSS banyak yang merasa kesulitan dalam melakukan analisis data statistik dan semakin tidak menyukai statistika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi kecemasan statistik pada mahasiswa yang menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan mayoritas mahasiswa dalam penelitian ini (n = 105, 73,4%) tidak menunjukkan kecemasan terhadap statistik melalui empat domain utama yang diukur. Tiga puluh satu siswa (21,7%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam satu domain, empat siswa (2,8%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam dua domain dan tiga siswa (2,1%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam tiga domain. Tidak ada siswa dalam penelitian ini yang menunjukkan kecemasan pada keempat domain sekaligus yang diukur. The role of Statistics as one of the fields of science that functions to plan, collect, analyze, interpret, and represent data as a basis for decision making is very important for the development of science and technology. Therefore, it is not surprising that Statistics is widely used in various other disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Given that not all statistical users have a Mathematics education background, the use of SPSS program tools is an alternative that should be considered. Unfortunately, in the application, SPSS users are more just following procedural steps without understanding why they are doing it. The impact is that many SPSS users find it difficult to analyze statistical data and increasingly dislike statistics. This study aims to determine statistical anxiety conditions in students using SPSS. The results of this study indicate that the majority of students in this study (n = 105, 73.4%) did not show statistics anxiety through the four main domains measured. Thirty-one students (21.7%) showed anxiety in one domain, four students (2.8%) showed anxiety in two domains and three students (2.1%) showed anxiety in three domains. There were no students in this study who showed anxiety in all four domains as well as being measured.

The Impact

AbstractNations the world over are increasingly turning to quantitative performance-based metrics to evaluate the quality of research outputs, as these metrics are abundant and provide an easy measure of ranking research. In 2010, the Danish Ministry of Science and Higher Education followed this trend and began portioning out a percentage of the available research funding according to how many research outputs each Danish university produces. Not all research outputs are eligible: only those published in a curated list of academic journals and publishers, the so-called BFI list, are included. The BFI list is ranked, which may create incentives for academic authors to target certain publication outlets or publication types over others. In this study we examine the potential effect these relatively new research evaluation methods have had on the publication patterns of researchers in Denmark. The study finds that publication behaviors in the Natural Sciences & Technology, Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) have changed, while the Health Sciences appear unaffected. Researchers in Natural Sciences & Technology appear to focus on high impact journals that reap more BFI points. While researchers in SSH have also increased their focus on the impact of the publication outlet, they also appear to have altered their preferred publication types, publishing more journal articles in the Social Sciences and more anthologies in the Humanities.

The Way

ABSTRACTSince its beginning, archaeology stands between the natural sciences and the social sciences and humanities. This shared position and the search for a greater understanding of its specific study objects, created the need among archaeology experts to resort to various methods (and technologies) originated from other disciplines. Similarly to other sciences, archaeology is an area permeable to experimentation and application of theoretical and practical exogenous concepts. This lead to the development of several specializations that unite archeology and other areas, such as Zooarchaeology. As happened throughout its history, academics are facing a time of change in the way the acquisition of knowledge is processed. The Digital Era of globalization is related to the shifting of paradigms and the growing need for unceasing adaptation; archeology is also affected by this reality. After a brief introduction to the humanities "digital paradigm" we review some of the main uses of the Internet as a support to research development in archeology, their main obstacles and tendencies.RESUMODesde a sua génese, a Arqueologia encontra-se entre as ciências naturais e as ciências sociais e humanísticas. Esta posição partilhada e a procura de uma maior compreensão dos seus objetos de estudo específicos, criou nos profissionais de Arqueologia uma necessidade de recorrerem a várias metodologias (e tecnologias) originárias de outras disciplinas. De forma similar a outras ciências, a Arqueologia é uma área permeável à experimentação e aplicação de conceitos teórico-práticos exógenos que levou, inclusive, à formação de diversas especialidades que unem a Arqueologia e outras áreas, como a Zooarqueologia. Como aconteceu ao longo da sua história, o meio académico está perante um momento de mudança na forma como se processa a aquisição de conhecimento. O fato de estarmos na Era Digital da globalização faz com que a adaptação do meio académico a esta realidade seja mais continuada, não sendo a Arqueologia alheia a esta transformação. Após uma breve introdução ao novo "paradigma digital" das humanidades, revemos alguns dos principais usos de tecnologias relacionadas com o uso da Internet no apoio à investigação em Arqueologia (e.g., bases de dados enriquecidas), e descrevemos algumas questões relacionadas com o uso de novas ferramentas e técnicas, seus principais obstáculos e tendências.

Cilj: utvrditi razlike u otvorenosti i dijeljenju znanstvenih radova na Sveučilištu u Rijeci.Metode: Analizirani su znanstveni radovi autora Sveučilišta u Rijeci iz Hrvatske znanstvene bibliografije (CROSBI) u 4 područja (2017.–2019.) na uzorku od 210 radova. Kao metrički pokazatelj kvalitete časopisa korišteni su kvartili SciMago Journal Rank (SJR). Provjerena je prisutnost cjelovitog teksta u otvorenom pristupu u 3 vrste repozitorija (Repozitorij UNIRI – Dabar; ArXiv; Crosbi) i na društvenoj akademskoj mreži ResearchGate. Istraženo je postojanje razlika u stupnju sklonosti samoarhiviranju i dijeljenju radova s obzirom na područje znanosti.Rezultati: Znanstvenici iz područja prirodnih znanosti (N=55; 78;6%) i biomedicine i zdravstva (N=49; 70%) značajno više (P<0;001) objavljuju u časopisima u Q1 i Q2 kvartilama. Autori iz područja društvenih i humanističkih znanosti više objavljuju u Q3 i Q4 te časopisima izvan baze podataka Scopus (N=57; 81;4%). Udio radova u otvorenom pristupu (N=107; 51%) približno je jednak udjelu u zatvorenom pristupu (N= 103; 49%) (P=0;7825). Za samoarhiviranje i dijeljenje radova znanstvenici su koristili platformu ResearchGate (N=77); ArXiv (N=32); Repozitorij UNIRI (N=15) i Crosbi (N=9). Od svih područja znanosti; analiziramo li radove s visokim stupnjem sklonosti samoarhiviranju i dijeljenju; prednjače autori iz područja prirodnih znanosti (N=21; 60%).Zaključak: Najveći stupanj sklonosti samoarhiviranju i dijeljenju rada pokazuju znanstvenici iz prirodnih znanosti. Nije uočena povezanost između SJR kvartila časopisa i sklonosti autora da samoarhivira ili podijeli svoj rad na otvorenoj platformi.------------------------------------------------Differences in openness and sharing of scientific papers at the University of RijekaAim: to determine differences in openness and sharing of scientific papers.Methods: We have analysed scientific papers from the Croatian Scientific Bibliography (CROSBI) from University of Rijeka (Croatia) in 4 fields (2017–2019) on a sample of 210 papers. The SciMago Journal Rank (SJR) quartiles were used as a metric. We have checked the presence of the full text in open access in 3 types of repositories (Repository UNIRI-Dabar; ArXiv; CROSBI) and on social academic network ResearchGate. Tendency of self-archiving and sharing with regard to the field of science was investigated.Results: Scientists in the field of natural sciences (N=55; 78.6%); and biomedicine and health (N = 49; 70%) publish more (P <0.001) in Q1 and Q2 journals. Social sciences and humanities authors publish mostly in Q3 and Q4 journals and in journals not indexed in the Scopus database (N =57; 81.4%). The proportion of open access papers (N=107; 51%) is equal to closed papers (N=103; 49%) (P=0;7825). Scientists used ResearchGate platform (N=77); ArXiv (N=32); UNIRI Repository (N=15) and CROSBI (N=9) for the self-archiving and sharing of papers. High degree of tendency for self-archiving and sharing was observed in the field of natural sciences (N=21; 60%).Conclusion: The highest degree of tendency for self-archiving and sharing is shown by natural scientists. There was no correlation between SJR quartile and the author's tendency to self-archive or share his work on an open platform.
