Abstract Objectives Manual systematic literature reviews are becoming increasingly challenging due to the sharp rise in publications. The primary objective of this literature review was to compare manual and computer software using artificial intelligence retrieval of publications on the cutaneous manifestations of primary SS, but we also evaluated the prevalence of cutaneous manifestations in primary SS. Methods We compared manual searching and searching with the in-house computer software BIbliography BOT (BIBOT) designed for article retrieval and analysis. Both methods were used for a systematic literature review on a complex topic, i.e. the cutaneous manifestations of primary SS. Reproducibility was estimated by computing Cohen’s κ coefficients and was interpreted as follows: slight, 0–0.20; fair, 0.21–0.40; moderate, 0.41–0.60; substantial, 0.61–0.80; and almost perfect, 0.81–1. Results The manual search retrieved 855 articles and BIBOT 1042 articles. In all, 202 articles were then selected by applying exclusion criteria. Among them, 155 were retrieved by both methods, 33 by manual search only, and 14 by BIBOT only. Reliability (κ = 0.84) was almost perfect. Further selection was performed by reading the 202 articles. Cohort sizes and the nature and prevalence of cutaneous manifestations varied across publications. In all, we found 52 cutaneous manifestations reported in primary SS patients. The most described ones were cutaneous vasculitis (561 patients), xerosis (651 patients) and annular erythema (215 patients). Conclusion Among the final selection of 202 articles, 155/202 (77%) were found by the two methods but BIBOT was faster and automatically classified the articles in a chart. Combining the two methods retrieved the largest number of publications.

Background:For rheumatologists monitoring patients with various diseases and dealing with multiple scores with different maximum values (9 for RA-DAS, 6.4 for AS-DAS and 60 for PMR-AS) and values thresholds to characterize the different levels of disease activity (low, intermediate and high) can be a tedious task. The same problematic could arise in other specialty than rheumatology. Normalization of these scores seems to be necessary to facilitate daily clinical practice (1).Objectives:To indentify and standardize scores of activity of inflammatory diseases.Methods:We conducted a literature review on activity criteria using both a manual approach and the BIBOT software (2) published in English between 1.1.1975 and 31.12.2018. Within all extracted disease activity scores, we selected those with cut off values in four classes (remission, low, moderate and high disease activity). We used a linear interpolation to map all these disease activity scores to our new score, the AS-135, and developed a smart-phone application to perform the conversion automatically.Results:1068 articles were analyzed by BIBOT, 86 were excluded on the basis of the language used for their writing and 11 were excluded on the basis of their publication date. 599 were selected based on their titles, abstracts and keywords. 108 activity criteria from various fields (rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, psychiatry, neurology and pneumology) were identified, but it is in rheumatology that we find separation into four classes. 10 scores met our inclusion criteria and were implemented in the Android app. These are: DAS28 (ESR), DAS28 (CRP), SDAI, ASDAS (ESR), ASDAS (CRP), ESSDAI, SLEDAI-2K, DAPSA, PMR-AS (ESR) and PMR-AS (CRP). We built the AS135 score modification for each selected score using a linear interpolation of the existing criteria. It was defined on the interval [0,10] and values 1, 3 and 5 were used as thresholds. These arbitrary thresholds are then associated with the thresholds of the existing criteria and an interpolation can be calculated, allowing the conversion of the existing criteria into AS135 criterion. We have finally created a mobile application that allows each user to obtain both the original value of the activity criterion.Conclusion:We have created a mobile application that allows any user to obtain in a simple way the level of disease activity, whatever the criterion used to describe it, since the application returns, in addition to the value of the activity criterion calculated from data returned by the physician, the transformation of this value into AS135 criterion and its interpretation in terms of level of activity of the pathology. The application is now available for Android devices and we plan to start developing a version for iOS devices.References:[1]Saraux L, Devauchelle-Pensec V, Saraux A.

The European Commission has recently adopted the Renovation Wave Strategy, aiming at the improvement of the energy performance of buildings. The strategy aims to at least double renovation rates in the next ten years and make sure that renovations lead to higher energy and resource efficiency. The choice of appropriate thermal insulation materials is one of the simplest and, at the same time, the most popular strategies that effectively reduce the energy demand of buildings. Today, the spectrum of insulation materials is quite wide, and each material has its own specific characteristics. It is recognized that the selection of materials is one of the most challenging and difficult steps of a building project. This paper aims to give an in-depth view of existing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) applications for the selection of insulation materials and to provide major insights in order to simplify the process of methods and criteria selection for future research. A systematic literature review is performed based on the Search, Appraisal, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. In order to determine which MCDM method is the most appropriate for different questions, the main advantages and disadvantages of different methods are provided.

The primary objective of this research is to investigate the adaptability of the Scrum framework for large scale projects. A two phase approach has been undertaken towards the goal. The first phase involves conducting a systematic literature review to identify and elaborate scaling practices used in the current industry. The review also identifies the challenges faced by the developers when the Scrum framework is used for the development of large projects. The second phase involves the construction of a simulation model to analyze the dynamic behavior of the Scrum framework for large projects. The systematic literature review revealed that the major challenge while scaling Scrum is ensuring good communication among project members. The communication overhead was incorporated in the system dynamic model of the Scrum framework. The simulation results showed that there is a reduction in work rate when number of personnel is increased due to the increasing communication overhead.
