A vast literature has focused on the effects of terrorism on tourism demand. This article aims to contribute to this strand of literature by systematically reviewing existing studies and subsequently synthesising their findings. Based on a systematic search of the Web of Science and Scopus databases, a total of 45 peer-reviewed English-language articles were included. The review was conducted and reported under Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The general conclusion is that, with some exceptions, terrorism negatively affects tourism demand. To decompose the effects of terrorism on tourism demand, several main themes were identified within the studies. However, effects varied widely depending on context, for example, terrorism and tourism demand variables used or locations and time periods studied. Consequently, the review identifies gaps in existing research and provides important suggestions for future studies.

Abstract Background The past two decades have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of diagnostic imaging technology. This has significantly contributed to the quality of medical care outcomes. However, a number of studies have found that 20%-50% of imaging requisitions are inappropriate and unjustified. This wastes the already meager resources and exposes patients to unnecessary radiation with increased risk of radiation induced cancers.Clinical Imaging Guidelines (CIGs) are evidence-based tools developed to support the imaging referrer’s decision-making process by choosing the most appropriate imaging investigation for a particular patient with a specific set of symptoms and signs. However, implementing CIGs has not been effective in several settings. Identifying factors that influence CIGs implementation could give an insight into the type of strategies to put in place before implementing CIGs This systematic review protocol is aimed at understanding barriers and facilitators that influence implementation of CIGs among medical professions. Review Methods The development of the systematic review protocol will follow Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA-P) (additional file 1) Key databases Pubmed (Medline) and Embase will be searched using relevant terms. The, experts in the field will be contacted for their opinion and references from included studies will also be searched Only literature written in the English language will be reviewed. All study designs will be included, and there will be no limit set by the year of publication. The criteria for inclusion will be those studies which document and discuss barriers and facilitators to implementing CIGs among medical professions. All identified studies will be screened by a single reviewer but Quality of the studies to be included and extraction of data will be independently performed by two reviewers. Any discrepancies will be resolved by consensus through discussion, with a 3rd reviewer as a tie breaker Pre-established categories of barriers and facilitators to implementing CIGs in practice from literature, will be used to assess content analysis Discussion The findings from this review will provide an insight and direction to the “champions” implementing adoption or adaption of CIGs, especially in Africa of what is ahead of them for proper planning The protocol has been registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; registration number: CRD42020136372.

Mathematical achievements affect students in determining their future careers and the economy of a country. However, mathematical achievement in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries has not reached the target, except in Singapore. However, no systematic studies have examined this problem yet. Thus, this study was conducted to identify the factors that influence mathematical achievement in ASEAN countries. Using the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses statement’s review methodology, systematic reviews using the Scopus and Web of Science databases identified 40 studies related to mathematics achievement in ASEAN countries. The results show that the factors of students, families, teachers, schools and policymakers influence mathematical achievements in ASEAN countries. Thus, mathematical achievement in ASEAN countries is not influenced by students alone. Suggestions in the future should pay serious attention to all factors in order to improve mathematical achievement in ASEAN countries.    Keywords: Mathematics achievement, factors, ASEAN countries, systematic review;

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the literature on pertussis immunisations among the Asian population. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The review performed searches using the keywords: immun*, vaccine* AND whooping cough or Bordetella pertussis OR B pertussis AND Asia*. The search was conducted on four electronic databases, namely, Medline, CINAHL, Embase and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Findings – In total, 13 studies of relevance were included in the review after screening 206 articles. The studies were categorised into three literature sections which were: epidemiology of pertussis, vaccine effectiveness studies in Asia and strategies aimed to increase uptake of immunisations against pertussis. Research limitations/implications – Due to financial constraints, the authors only had access to articles published in the English language and full text articles which may limit the generalisability of the review. Originality/value – The review is useful in providing insight into the general trends of pertussis immunisations among Asians and in aiding future research in this area.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a aplicação dos instrumentos do Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) para obtenção de dados sobre incapacidade auditiva (IA). Estratégia de pesquisa Foram conduzidas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science e Lilacs, e na literatura cinzenta. Os softwares State of the Art through Systematic Review e Mendeley foram utilizados como ferramentas para organização, seleção e armazenamento dos documentos. Critérios de seleção Seguiram-se orientações propostas pela Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. De acordo com critérios de inclusão, foram selecionados estudos publicados em inglês ou português, entre 2001 e 2017, que aplicaram a pergunta sobre IA do WG. Análise dos dados Foram definidas como variáveis de análise: módulo WG utilizado, país e ano da coleta de dados, tamanho e composição da amostra, objetivo do estudo, periódico de publicação, estimativa da prevalência de IA e medidas de acurácia. Resultados Foram 65 os estudos incluídos, conduzidos com dados de 30 países. O módulo curto do WG foi mais comumente utilizado. As estimativas de prevalência da IA variaram de 0,2 a 2,3%, e apenas três estudos estimaram a acurácia do instrumento para sua identificação. Conclusão: O emprego do instrumento do WG, módulo de incapacidade auditiva, tem ocorrido em nível mundial, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento. A pequena variação entre as medidas de prevalência estimadas pelos estudos parece ser favorável ao objetivo do WG em gerar estimativas que permitam comparação internacional. No entanto, a escassez de estudos de validade indica a necessidade de mais investigações.

Meta Analyses

Background: Abnormal scaphoid alignment after fracture is used as an indication for fixation. Acceptable alignment after reduction and fixation of scaphoid fractures is not well defined. We systematically reviewed the literature to identify how scaphoid malunion is currently defined and by what parameters. Methods: A systematic review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Multiple databases were searched for studies published in the English language that reported on outcomes after scaphoid malunion and included measurements to define malunions. Radiographic scaphoid measurement parameters were collected. Clinical outcome measures recorded included grip strength, wrist range of motion, and patient-reported outcome measures. Study quality was analyzed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. Descriptive summaries of the studies are presented. Results: The initial search yielded 1600 articles. Ten articles (161 participants, 93% males, mean age = 28.3 + 6.3 years, mean MINORS score = 10.2 + 1.6) were included and analyzed. Scaphoid malunion was defined if the lateral intrascaphoid angle (LISA) was >45° (3 articles), LISA >35° (1 article), and height to length ratio >0.6 (3 articles). Four out of 5 studies found no significant associations between patient outcomes and degree of scaphoid malunion measured on imaging. Conclusions: There is a lack of consensus for defining scaphoid malunion on imaging and absence of correlation between findings on imaging and patient outcomes. Future studies defining scaphoid malunion should be appropriately powered, incorporate measures of intrarater and interrater reliabilities for all reported imaging measurements, and utilize validated patient-reported outcome measures to reflect that malunion is associated with inferior outcomes meaningful to patients.

In soccer, the assessment of the load imposed by training and a match is recognized as a fundamental task at any competitive level. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review on internal and external load monitoring during training and/or a match, identifying the measures used. In addition, we wish to make recommendations that make it possible to standardize the classification and use of the different measures. The systematic review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The search was conducted through the electronic database Web of Science, using the keywords “soccer” and “football”, each one with the terms “internal load”, “external load”, and “workload”. Of the 1223 studies initially identified, 82 were thoroughly analyzed and are part of this systematic review. Of these, 25 articles only report internal load data, 20 report only external load data, and 37 studies report both internal and external load measures. There is a huge number of load measures, which requires that soccer coaches select and focus their attention on the most useful and specific measures. Standardizing the classification of the different measures is vital in the organization of this task, as well as when it is intended to compare the results obtained in different investigations.

Educational technology has become an increasingly important element for improving the teaching and learning process of students. To achieve these goals, it is essential that teachers have the skills they need to be able to introduce technology into their teaching practice. However, this is often overwhelming and stressful for many of them. The aim of this review was to find out how research on teacher stress and anxiety associated with the use of educational technology was proceeding. A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines through the following bibliographic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Sixteen articles were found from the review. The main findings show that teachers present high levels of anxiety or stress due to their use of educational technology in the classroom. Among the conclusions, the need for research on different strategies to prevent the emergence of these anxiety and stress symptoms in teachers stands out.

In the last decade, an array of smartphone apps have been designed to prevent crime, violence, and abuse. The evidence base of these apps has, however, yet to analyzed systematically. To rectify this, the aims of this review were (1) to establish the extent, range, and nature of research into smartphone apps with a primary crime prevention function; (2) to locate gaps in the primary crime prevention app literature; and (3) to develop a typology of primary crime prevention apps. Employing a scoping review methodology and following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, studies were identified via Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. We included English-language research published between 2008 and 2020 that examined smartphone applications designed explicitly for primary crime prevention. Sixty-one publications met our criteria for review, out of an initial sample of 151 identified. Our review identified six types of crime prevention app examined in these publications: self-surveillance apps, decision aid apps, child-tracking apps, educational apps, crime-mapping/alert apps, and crime reporting apps. The findings of our review indicate that most of these forms of primary crime prevention apps have yet to be rigorously evaluated and many are not evidence-based in their design. Consequently, our review indicates that recent enthusiasm over primary crime prevention apps is not supported by an adequate evidence base.
