Global Research Trends on the Use of Nanotechnology to Boost Meat Production: A Scientometric Analysis

Meat production plays a vital socioeconomic role for sustainable development and for promoting food security in most countries. However, not much is known about research agendas done globally and the advancement of knowledge-generating networks in this area of study. The present study aims to reveal and analyze scientific research outputs on meat production linked with recent nanotechnology research work done till date. A compilation of research advancement and development within the sphere was realized through a scientometric study to comprehend the trend of research outputs, scientific impacts, authors' involvement, collaboration networks, and the advancement of knowledge gaps for future research endeavors on the current subject matter. Scholarly published articles were retrieved from the web of science (WOS) and Scopus databases from 1985 to 2020 and they were merged together using bibliometric package in R studio. All duplicated articles (438) from both data bases were excluded. A combination of terms (nano* AND (livestock* OR meat* OR beef* OR mutton* OR pork* OR chevon* OR chicken* OR turkey*)), and conversely analyzed for scientometric indices. A collection of 656 peer-reviewed, research articles were retrieved for the study period and authored by 2,133 researchers with a collaboration index of 3.31. The research outputs were highest in the year 2020 with total research outputs of 140 articles. The topmost three authors' keywords commonly used by authors were nanoparticles, meat, and chitosan with a respective frequency of 75, 62, and 57. China, Iran, and India ranked top in terms of meat production research outputs linked to nanotechnology and total citation with respective article productivity (total citations) of 160 (3,193), 111 (1,765), and 37 (552). Our findings revealed an increasing trend in research (with an annual growth rate of 25.18%) tending toward advancing meat production with the use of nanotechnology. Likewise, there is an increasing pointer to the fact that research work on nanotechnology and meat production has the prospect to influence positively, decision-making on research direction, and collaborations, hereby increasing the production of meat and its products in the future.

Different Parts

Tribulus terrestris Linn. (Zygophyllaceae) has been used since ancient times to treat various health ailments. Different parts of the plant have been used by traditional physicians, however the dried entire fruit is more commonly used as ‘Gokshura’ and ‘Ikshugandha’ in Ayurveda and as ‘Khar-e-Khasak Khurd’ in Unani System of Medicine for its diuretic, aphrodisiac, emmenagogue, laxative, lactagogue, lithotriptic, demulcent, stomachic and astringent properties. It is therapeutically employed for its efficacy in vesicular calculi, urinary discharge, strangury, sexual debility, dysuria, burning micturation, ammenorrhoea, cough and asthma. Fruits contain traces of alkaloids, flavonoids, fixed oil, small quantity of essential oil, resins and nitrates. This review aims to provide an electronic database regarding phytopharmacological properties of T. terrestris, in particular with its description in Unani classical literature along with the recent research work done by many authors; so that future research work can be made at ease and it will help in revalidating scientifically the claimed activities of the drug mentioned in classical literatures and further exploration of any new therapeutic activity based on phyto-chemistry.

Scientometric Study

Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that has developed for centuries, and every time with greater clinical and scientific weight. Currently, hypnosis constitutes a solid support method for treatments against chronic pain and for emotion control under situations that generate fear and anxiety -such as surgery or other type of phobias-, so it is presented as an alternative to the use of medicine/drugs by health specialists. On the other hand within the field of behavioral sciences, apart from controlling fear and anxiety responses, hypnosis serves as support to the various cognitive behavioral techniques by facilitating their assimilation and development. This work presents a scientometric study of the research done on hypnosis over the last fifteen years, from publications -in Spanish and English- in specialized journals, indexed in SCOPUS (a specialized international bibliometric database). The contemporary applications of hypnosis are presented and critically discussed; as well as the fields in which its application has proven successful; its limitations; the research networks generated within the time of the study; plus, probable projections for future research are also mentioned.

Cloud Computing (CC) is a promising technology due to its pervasive features, such as online storage, high scalability, and seamless accessibility, in that it plays an important role in reduction of the capital cost and workforce, which attracts organizations to conduct their businesses and financial activities over the cloud. Even though CC is a great innovation in the aspect of computing with ease of access, it also has some drawbacks. With the increase of cloud usage, security issues are proportional to the increase. To address these, there has been much work done in this domain, whereas research work considering the growing constrained applications provided by the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart city networks are still lacking. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive security analysis of CC-enabled IoT and present state-of-the-art in the research area. Finally, future research work and possible areas of implementation and consideration are given to discuss open issues.

Corporate Social

The economic growth and social responsibility of the company have become hot topics of concern to society. Fulfilling a company’s obligations of social responsibility can establish a good corporate image and benefit the company’s long-term development. Tracking the research fronts in this field can help to understand the hotspots that scholars pay attention to and fill the gaps in the field. We used the scientometric analysis to explore corporate governance research from 1987 to 2020 based on the Web of Science (WoS) database. Our research shows that corporate social responsibility focus on topics such as sustainability, social responsibility, and shareholders, and financial performance will be more skewed towards financial crisis, company value, and other research. The main publications are the Journal of Business Ethics and Corporate Governance-An International Review. The increase in the number of publications and citations reflects the strong interest of scholars in this research area. In this area, the organizations of developed countries are dominant, especially the United States, and China has the largest number of funding agencies, suggests that the economic powers are paying more attention to the literature on economic management. However, corporate social performance articles are relatively small, and strengthening this area can become a future research direction. strengthening this area can become a future research direction.

Background: As the Internet of Things (IoT) has become more prevalent in recent years, digital twins have attracted a lot of attention. A digital twin is a virtual representation that replicates a physical object or process over a period of time. These tools directly assist in reducing the manufacturing and supply chain lead time to produce a lean, flexible, and smart production and supply chain setting. Recently, reinforced machine learning has been introduced in production and logistics systems to build prescriptive decision support platforms to create a combination of lean, smart, and agile production setup. Therefore, there is a need to cumulatively arrange and systematize the past research done in this area to get a better understanding of the current trend and future research directions from the perspective of Industry 4.0. Methods: Strict keyword selection, search strategy, and exclusion criteria were applied in the Scopus database (2010 to 2021) to systematize the literature. Results: The findings are snowballed as a systematic review and later the final data set has been conducted to understand the intensity and relevance of research work done in different subsections related to the context of the research agenda proposed. Conclusion: A framework for data-driven digital twin generation and reinforced learning has been proposed at the end of the paper along with a research paradigm.
