The main objective of this study is to evaluate Citizenship Education (CE) literature through systematic bibliometric analysis. The science mapping method was conducted to analyze data. Because CE is also studied with the names of social studies and civic education in the literature, articles related to these topics were included in the study. 4029 articles and proceeding papers that were obtained from the WoS database were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was revealed that number of publications has been dramatically increased in recent years. Moreover, Theory and Research in Social Education Journal was found as the most relevant source in terms of number of publications about CE. Furthermore, the study conducted by Westheimer and Kahne in 2004 was determined as the most influential source that has the most citations per year in the field. Finally, it was found that USA and UK are the most productive, most cited, and most collaborative countries in terms of scientific publications.

This study seeks to find information related to the methods used in an effort to improve student achievement outcomes in online learning for civic education subjects at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah or Elementary Schools. In finding the information needed, researchers use a type of literature study research. Researchers reviewed several previous studies based on theories that were relevant to the problems found. The information obtained is then analyzed by referring to Miles and Hubberman where the information obtained is collected, processed and summarized. From the results of the analysis, it was found that using the mind mapping method and the STAD type cooperative model could improve learning outcomes as well as student creativity in Citizenship Education learning. Mind mapping can make it easier for students to understand a lesson that is recorded creatively, effectively, and efficiently in mapping their thoughts. This method really helps the learning process for Civics subjects, especially the Civics learning model is closely related to increasing children's creativity. Meanwhile, STAD should be grouped not randomly but according to the zoning of their respective houses. So that the presence or absence of a pandemic does not really affect learning with these methods.   [Penelitian ini berupaya mencari informasi terkait metode yang digunakan dalam upaya meningkatkan hasil prestasi siswa pembelajaran daring untuk mata pelajaran pendidikan kewarganegaraan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah atau Sekolah Dasar. Dalam mencari informasi yang dibutuhkan, peneliti menggunakan jenis penelitian studi kepustakaan. Peneliti mengkaji dari beberapa penelitian terdahulu berdasarkan teori yang relevan dengan permasalahan yang ditemukan. Informasi didapat tersebut kemudian dianalisis dengan mengacu kepada Miles dan Hubberman dimana infomasi yang didapat dikumpulkan, diolah, dan disimpulkan. Dari hasil analisis diperoleh bahwa dengan menggunakan metode mind mapping dan model kooperatif tipe STAD bisa meningkatkan hasil pembelajaran sekaligus kreativitas siswa pada pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan. Dengan mind mapping dapat mempermudah pemahaman peserta didik dalam suatu pembelajaran yang dicatat dengan kreatif, efektif, dan efisien dalam memetakan pikiran-pikirannya. Metode ini sangat membantu proses pembelajaran untuk mata pelajaran PKn, apalagi model pembelajaran PKn erat kaitannya dengan peningkatan kreativitas anak. Sementara untuk STAD hendaknya dikelompokan tidak secara acak namun sesuai zonasi rumahnya masing-masing. Sehingga ada ataupun tidak adanya pandemi, tidak terlalu mempengaruhi pembelajaran yang dilakukan]

The article presents a bibliometric review of the array of the of the most actively cited Russian publications in the Scopus database for the period 2010-2020. The criteria for studying the array of publications with the highest citation were the following: frequency distribution of publications by type; determination of the share in open access; frequency distribution of documents by quartiles of publications; frequency distribution by SciVal topics; frequency distribution by the degree of relevance of topics (percentiles); analysis of publications by the number of co-authors; Influence on field-weighted citation (FWCI); determination of the share of publications made with and without foreign participation; determination of the list of countries with which the greatest amount of work was carried out; distribution of publications by shares in various fields of knowledge; determination of the average number of co-authors per 1 publication; determination of leading organizations by the number of publications included in the top 550 by citation for the period 2010-2020.It was found that the vast majority of publications with the highest citations were issued by major international organizations, and most of them are concentrated in journals with a high open access rating, mainly in the first CiteScore quartile. The leading fields in terms of the number of most cited documents are Medicine, followed by physics and astronomy, as well as biochemistry, Genetics and molecular biology. It is shown that it is preferable to use SciVal themes, rather than the thematic area of journals. It is shown that when ranking publications by citation, one should focus on the influence of citation weighted by field, but not on the overall citation. The greatest citation of Russian publications is observed in works performed within the framework of MegaScience projects in international mega-co-authorship. The study of the array of the most actively cited Russian scientific publications is important both for monitoring the dynamics of their significance level and for developing a strategy to increase it.

In recent years, the interest in research concerning Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has grown considerably. Therefore, a thorough (re)evaluation of this field and its challenges is highly necessary and can help us better understand the diversity of ESD approaches and the ways in which various scholars, countries, institutions, or universities reacted through research and scientific publications to the study of ESD. Using a bibliometric approach, we analyzed 1813 papers on the subject, indexed by the Web of Science, between 1992 and 2018. The main findings increased our understanding of the ESD domain: we identified vital research, landmark studies in the development of the field, critical past contributions, emerging trends, and potentially transformative ideas. The number of publications, authors, and journals has increased, proving that ESD has gained momentum over the period examined in the study. Similarly, there are more and more works written in collaboration by people (scholars, researchers, etc.) from different parts and cultures of the world, indicating that publishing on ESD is like a legacy to international efforts to bring this area of inquiry into the mainstream. Finally, the study illustrates two main research directions for the entire timespan: integration of education into sustainable development and of sustainable development into education.

Duponchelia fovealis is an agricultural pest that causes great losses in strawberry plantations. As an alternative to traditional chemical insecticides, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are used to control this pest. One way to increase the effectiveness of these EPF is by combining them with plant extracts or essential oils (EOs). We carried out a literature review in the Web of Science database using Bibliometrix (version 4.0.0. – R free software tool). Our purpose was to analyze data on the use of EOs or plant extracts with microorganisms to control pests, and observe research trends on this topic. Between 1994 and 2020, 112 articles were published, with the Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control as the most outstanding journal. The country with the greatest number of publications on the topic in the analyzed period was Brazil (n=38), followed by India (n=26) and the United States (n=20). Keywords that stood out the most were compatibility, entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, biological control, Azadirachta indica, silver nanoparticles, entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, neem, and biocompatibility. Although this research field is growing, no record of a link between EPF and EOs or “plant extracts to control Duponchelia fovealis” was found.

Generally, the conceptual framework of social studies in United States and in Indonesia includes concept and praxis of education in democracy which are organised in a form of (1) civic/citizenship education as one of the dimensions of goals, content, and processes of social studies; and (2) social studies education. Basically, education in democracy can also be deemed as a subsystem of social studies education, and social studies education. However, as a subsystem of education in democracy civic educationt has shown its uniqueness i.e. it sinergically focussed on the development of individuals potentials to become smart and good citizens. Along the line of the development of the ideals, instrumenst, and praxis of democracy civic/citizenship education has become the academic endeavour, which then is generally called as civic education or citizenship education.

In recent years, ocean literacy has become a global movement that connects the human dimension to the ocean and intends to be an incentive for positive change in people’s behavior. As multiple initiatives on ocean literacy have arisen, a comprehensive understanding of this topic is required to better engage the broader society. In the present study, we applied a combination of bibliometric analysis and science mapping to a dataset of scientific publications on ocean literacy between 2005 and 2019, obtained from Web of Science and Scopus databases. In order to represent the development of the field, analyze the level of collaborations and uncover its thematic areas, we first used bibliometric analyses to describe the field’s main features, including indicators of growth and research collaboration. We then used science mapping techniques to build collaboration networks among countries and institutions, and to identify research communities. Lastly, we performed co-word analysis to reveal the underlying thematic areas and their evolution. Our results reveal a slow-growing number of publications and a promising trend for collaboration among authors, countries and institutions. Education and science were identified as the two major thematic areas on ocean literacy showing that, over time, issues related to these themes have gained more attention among researchers. These findings confirm that ocean literacy is gaining more acknowledgment within the scientific community but still faces considerable limitations to its dissemination in sectors like the blue economy and in regions such as Latin America and Africa. Promoting cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary cooperation among research institutions, marine education networks and the industry is critical to support this purposeful movement and represents an urgent challenge.

The purpose of the review is to summarize current literature data and the results of our own research on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of acetylsalicylic acid, as well as the physiological mechanisms underlying them. This acid is the most studied reference representative of salicylates, which is convenient to consider the physiological effects characteristic in general for this group of chemical and medicinal products. Acetylsalicylic acid has analgesic properties against thermal pain and pain caused by electrical stimuli, as well as a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. The realization of these properties depends on the peculiarities of aspirin metabolism in the body, ion and synaptic mechanisms for controlling the functional state of the cell, neurotransmitter systems of the сentral nervous system, and mechanisms of peripheral and сentral analgesia. Analgesic properties of acetylsalicylic acid founded not only in normal, but also in ultra-small doses. Various physical and especially chemical factors significantly change their effects. This increases the interest in studying the analgesic activity of salicylates and their physiological mechanisms, since such studies can serve as a basis for creating new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with low toxicity and high safety for patients, and improve the strategy of their practical use. Currently, the most detailed study of the physiological mechanism of analgesic and anti-inflammatory action of aspirin and its main metabolite – salicylic acid. However, it should be note that despite the abundance of existing data obtained in scientific studies of the effects of aspirin and its practical use, there are a number of unexplained aspects of the action of this drug, the mechanism of which has not yet been deciphered. The continuing interest in the effects and mechanisms of action of this drug and in connection with the expansion of its use evidenced by a consistently high number of scientific publications on aspirin in the most famous foreign and domestic publications. At the same time, the number of publications about aspirin is an order of magnitude higher than about any other drug known to humanity.

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge that requires a “One Health” approach to achieve better public health outcomes for people, animals, and the environment. Numerous bibliometric studies were published on AMR in humans. However, none was published in food-producing animals. The current study aimed at assessing and analyzing scientific publications on AMR in food-producing animals. Method A validated search query was developed and entered in Scopus advanced search function to retrieve and quantitatively analyze relevant documents. Bibliometric indicators and mapping were presented. The study period was from 2000 to 2019. Results The search query retrieved 2852 documents. During the period from 2015 to 2019, approximately 48% of the retrieved documents were published. The article about the discovery of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in pigs received the highest number of citations (n = 1970). The Journal of Food Protection (n = 123; 4.3%) ranked first in the number of publications while the Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal ranked first in the number of citations per document. The USA led with 576 (20.2%) documents followed by China (n = 375; 13.1%). When the number of publications was standardized by income and population size, India (n = 51.5) ranked first followed by China (n = 38.3) and Brazil (n = 13.4). The growth of publications from China exceeded that of the USA in the last 3 years of the study period. Research collaboration in this field was inadequate. Mapping author keywords showed that E. coli, Salmonella, poultry, Campylobacter, chicken, cattle, and resistant genes were most frequent. The retrieved documents existed in five research themes. The largest research theme was about AMR in Salmonella in food-producing animals. The most recent research theme was about the dissemination and molecular transfer of AMR genes into the environment and among different bacterial strains. Conclusion Hot spots of research on AMR in food-producing animals match the world regions of reported hot spots of AMR in animals. Research collaboration in this field is of great importance, especially with low- and middle-income countries. Data on AMR need to be collected nationally and internationally to implement the “One Health” approach in the fight against AMR.
