Abstract Objective The objective of this scoping review is to understand what is known in relation to geographical inequalities in COVID-19 mortality. Introduction: COVID-19 has occurred against a backdrop of existing social and economic inequalities in health. The impact of the pandemic has been examined across various intersections of health inequalities such as age, gender, ethnicity, and occupation. However, spatial inequalities have been less explored. Therefore, this review aims to identify and synthesise what is known on geographical inequalities in COVID-19 mortality globally. Inclusion criteria: Following standard scoping review methodology the inclusion criteria will be guided by Population, Concept, Context (PCC). Population: children and adults (all ages); Concept: Area-level inequalities in COVID-19 mortality; Context: any country, at any level (neighbourhood, town, city, municipality, region). Any published, peer-reviewed study written in English that focuses on all three elements of the PCC inclusion criteria will be included. Methods Searches will be conducted in (host sites given in parentheses) Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Science Citation Index (Web of Science) and limited to dates ranging from 1st January 2020 to December 31st 2021. Reference lists of all relevant papers will be searched for additional studies. All titles and abstracts will be screened in Rayyan. Primary studies focusing on COVID-19 mortality rates disaggregated by any measure of area-level deprivation will be selected for full text review. Data relating to study design, population, location, outcomes, and results by deprivation will be extracted using standardised extraction forms. Identified papers meeting the inclusion criteria will be tabulated, synthesised thematically and a narrative constructed to describe the evidence base of geographical inequalities in COVID-19 mortality.

Nodding Syndrome

IntroductionNodding syndrome (NS) is an encephalopathy of unknown origin that affects children aged between 3 and 15 years old. Cases have been reported since the 1950 in Tanzania and South Sudan, the most heavily affected population is the Acholi community in Uganda. In response to the high incidence of the disease, the Ugandan Government has developed a management algorithm, but access to such measures in affected communities is limited. There is little funding for research on the disease, consequently, few studies have been conducted to date. Nevertheless, the number of scientific publications on NS has increased since 2013, reporting several aetiological hypotheses, management algorithms and cases of stigmatisation; however, none has obtained conclusive results.This document describes a protocol for a scoping review of NS to date aimed at obtaining a broad overview of the disease. The results will identify gaps in knowledge in order to better guide future research, intervention strategies, health policies in areas at risk and cooperation and development programmes.Methods and analysisTo identify the relevant data, we will conduct a literature search using the electronic databases PubMed/Medline, Embase, Social Science Citation Index Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), Social Science Citation Index Expanded and The Cochrane Library. We will also include grey literature. The search strategy will be designed by a librarian.Two members of the team will work independently to identify studies for inclusion and perform data extraction. The search results will be assessed by two independent reviewers and data from the included studies will be charted and summarised in duplicate. The data will be summarised in tables and figures to present the research landscape and describe and map gaps.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required. The scoping review will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-Analyses-ScR guidelines. The results will be disseminated at scientific congresses and meetings.

Nicaragua is a small country in Central America and little has been published about its scientific output. Most of its publications available in international databases are about medicine and are produced by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (Managua) as part of international collaborative teams. In this article we analyzed in more depth, and for a longer period than any previous study, the presence of Nicaraguan publications in the Science Citation Index Expanded until January, 2016. In total, 837 Nicaraguan articles were published in 456 journals (the top journal is the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene). Internationally collaborative articles with 94 countries accounted for 92 % of articles, while only 8.5 % were exclusively Nicaraguan. The most cited article described the use of ketoconazole to treat Leishmaniasis. The authors with more publications in the database were A. Balmaseda, R. Peña, W. Strauch, and F. Bucardo. The top cited, exclusively Nicaraguan articles dealt with health problems, forest tenure, and food production. The article citation lifespan is surprisingly long: over 70 years. Most citations start seven years after publication and are not recorded by the Science Citation Index, which for that reason cannot be considered valid to evaluate the impact of Nicaraguan research. The predominance of English publications may reflect a bias of the database itself. Probably most of the scientific production of Nicaraguan scientists is published in Spanish, in many regional journals not included in the SCI-EXPANDED. Nicaraguan research centers lack appropriate infrastructure, staffing and financial resources: future achievements for Nicaraguan science should include a fair presence of female researchers, peer-to-peer level participation in international teams, and less dominance of health technologies.

La productividad científica en Síndrome de Asperger (SA) se ha incrementado considerablemente en los últimos años desde distintos campos de la Educación y la Psicología. Incluido dentro de los Trastornos del Espectro del Autismo según el DSM-5, el SA se caracteriza por una alteración en las capacidades de relación social, comunicación y flexibilidad mental. Es objeto del presente estudio ofrecer una revisión del estado actual de la investigación en dicho ámbito e identificar las principales aportaciones científicas. La unidad de análisis se compuso por 1741 documentos extraídos de la Social Science Citation Index y revisados minuciosamente. Los resultados evidenciaron un incremento de la productividad temporal y el interés científico en las áreas de caracterización del SA, comorbilidad y tratamiento. Además, se observó una tendencia a realizar los trabajos en colaboración y un número considerable de autores clasificados como grandes productores por sus niveles de productividad superiores a los diez trabajos. La funcionalidad de esta revisión se encuentra en su valor como material de referencia para futuras líneas de investigación en tanto que abarca la identificación y análisis de los principales campos de estudio en este ámbito.

Las sociedades actuales han ido evolucionando hacía nuevas formas de comunicación que ha proporcionado la tecnología. Las redes sociales han permitido la creación de entornos interactivos para compartir información y crear conocimiento. La influencia de estas herramientas en los diferentes contextos han lugar a un incremento en las investigaciones sobre su uso en el campo educativo. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación ha sido analizar la producción científica sobre el uso de las redes sociales como herramientas formativas durante periodo 2009-2018. Para ello se han utilizado diversas bases de datos entre las que destacan la Science Citation Index, Emerging Source Citation Index y la Science Citation Index Expanded. Se introdujeron una serie de palabras clave que permitieron obtener una muestra de 252 documentos que fueron analizados en función de una serie de indicadores bibliométricos como el índice de inmediatez, el índice de aislamiento o el número de publicaciones anuales. Los resultados constatan que el periodo de mayor producción ha sido el comprendido entre 2015-2018, siendo la gran mayoría de los artículos publicados en revistas del Q1 tanto en la Social Science Citation Index y la Science Citation Index Expanded. Por otro lado, existe un 19% de solape entre las revistas de ambas bases de datos. Asimismo, los equipos de trabajo oscilan entre uno y tres autores. Como futuras líneas de trabajo se plantea completar la muestra de documentos desde una perspectiva más de análisis de temáticas.
