I. INTRODUCTION
Big data and cloud computing is a new and emerging
industrial field[1], and increasing widely used in China[2-4].
Talents’ experience is a source of technological mastery[5],
essentially for developing and using big data technologies.
Most European states consider the immigration of foreign
workers as an important factor to decelerate the decline of
national workforces[6]. Lots of universities and research
institutes have set up undergraduate and/or postgraduate
courses on data analytics for cultivating talents[7]. EMC
corporation think that vision, talent, and technology are
necessary elements to providing solutions to big data
management and analysis, insuring the big data success[8].
Bibliometrics research has appeared as early as 1917[9],
and has been proved an effective method for assessing or
identifying talents. Based on analyses of publication volume,
journals and their impact factors, most cited articles and
authors, preferred methods, and represented countries,
Gallardo-Gallardo et. al[10] assess whether talent management
should be approached as an embryonic, growth, or mature
phenomenon.
In this paper, we intend to analysis whether China need to
introduce top talents in the field of big data and cloud
computing by using bibliometrics. In section 2, the 3-F method
for top talent introduction demand analysis will be discussed.
In section 3, we will analysis the demand of top talent

- 1. Analysis on the Demand of Top Talent Introduction in Big Data and Cloud Computing Field in China Based on 3-F Method Zhao Linjia, Huang Yuanxi, Wang Yinqiu, Liu Jia National Academy of Innovation Strategy, China Association for Science and Technology, Beijing, P.R.China Abstract—Big data and cloud computing, which can help China to implement innovation-driven development strategy and promote industrial transformation and upgrading, is a new and emerging industrial field in China. Educated, productive and healthy workforces are necessary factor to develop big data and cloud computing industry, especially top talents are essential. Therefore, a three-step method named 3-F has been introduced to help describing the distribution of top talents globally and making decision whether they are needed in China. The 3-F method relies on calculating the brain gain index to analysis the top talent introduction demand of a country. Firstly, Focus on the high-frequency keywords of a specific field by retrieving the highly cited papers. Secondly, using those keywords to Find out the top talents of this specific field in the Web of Science. Finally, Figure out the brain gain index to estimate whether a country need to introduce top talents of a specific field abroad. The result showed that the brain gain index value of China's big data and cloud computing field was 2.61, which means China need to

INTRODUCTION Big data and cloud computing is a new and emerging industrial field[1], and increasing widely used in China[2-4]. Talents’ experience is a source of technological mastery[5], essentially for developing and using big data technologies. Most European states consider the immigration of foreign workers as an important factor to decelerate the decline of national workforces[6].

- 3. II. METHOD In general, metering indicators contain the most productive authors, journals, institutions, and countries, and the collaboration networks between authors and institutions[11, 12]. Based on the commonly used bibliometrics method, 3-F method for top talent introduction demand analysis is proposed. 3-F method has three steps: Firstly, searching the literature database and forming a high-impact literature collection in a specific field. Focusing on the high-frequency keywords in the high-impact literature collection by using the text analysis method as the research hotspots. Just to be clear, the high-impact literature refers to the journal literature whose number of cited papers ranked in the top 1% in the same discipline and in the same year. Secondly, retrieving those keywords in the Web of Science to find out where those top talents of this specific field are. Find the top talents by collected the information about talents’ country distribution, the institutions distribution and so on through the high-impact literature collection. Among them, the top talent refers to the first author or the communication author of the high-impact literatures. Finlly, Figure out the brain gain index to determine the top talents introduction demand of a certain country. The brain gain index is calculated as following formulas: Iik = (Twk / Tik) / (Pw / Pi) (1) Among them, Iik means the brain gain index value of country (i) in the field (k), Twk means the number of world’s top talents in the field (k), Tik means the number of country’s (i) top
- 4. talents in the field (k), Pw means the world population, Pi means the country’s (i) population. If Iik was more than 1, that means the country (i) has less top talents in the field (k), therefore the talent introduction demand will be relatively strong. In contrast, if Iik was less than 1, that means the country’s (i) has greater top talents in the field (k) than the world average, and the talent introduction demand will not be so strong. Additionally, the literature information mainly from the ISI Web of Science (SCI, CPCI-S), and the the data analysis and visualization tools are TDA and Tableau. 2017 Proceedings of PICMET '17: Technology Management for Interconnected World 978-1-890843-36-6 ©2017 PICMET III. CASE STUDY Using 3-F method to analysis the top talents introduction demand in the big data and cloud computing field. We collected the high-impact literatures from January 1, 2006 to July 31, 2016. The literature Language was English and the literature type was article. Combining with the above conditions, we got 546 high-impact literatures in the big data and cloud computing field. Then the high-frequency keywords have been obtained (Table 1) and served as the research hotspots set. TABLE I.

The top ten countries or regions who had the most top talents were the United States, P.R.China, the United Kindom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Canada, Australia, Italy and Switzerland and Spain tied for the tenth.

- 8. …… 2017 Proceedings of PICMET '17: Technology Management for Interconnected World From table 2 and 3 we can see that China was in the second place worldwide. However, China's top talent is much less than the United States. In addition, the overall strength of Chinese research institutions is not strong. So, whether China should introduce top talents from other countries is need to be discussed. According to the formula of the brain gain index, and using the world population data as well as the Chinese mainland population data released by the World Bank, the value of the Chinese brain gain index of big data and cloud computing was 2.61. In comparison, the brain gain index value of the United States was 0.11. That means China need to introduce top talent in the field of big data and cloud computing. IV. CONCLUSION In the knowledge economy era, the international flow of top talent has become convenient and frequent. Facing the world's top talent shortage, China and the world's major countries have developed overseas top talent introduction programs. Until 2007, almost all European countries had introduced some skillselective migration policies in order to attract the top talents. To make the overseas top talent introduction programs more effective and targeted is helpful for occupying the strategic high ground in the global top talent competition.

The 3F method could help the government official to make decision whether need to introduce top talents to develop a new industry field and lock these top talents geographic location.

Running head: NURSING RESEARCH PROJECT 1 NURSING RESEARCH PROJECT 7 Nursing Research Project Student`s Name Tutor`s Name Institution Affiliation Nursing Research Project Introduction Nursing just like any profession faces numerous challenges daily. Nurses are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that they work diligently and professionally to ensure that their clients are satisfied with the services that they deliver. They are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that the patients that visit their premises get quality services that they deserve. However, these services come at a cost; they face a myriad of challenges
- 25. that they have to work fully despite these challenges to satisfy their clients. Therefore, this research paper analysis some of the problems that nurses face in the daily execution of their duties. Identification of the Problem Nurse faces a myriad of challenges in their daily execution of duties. To ensure that they discharge their duties perfectly all these challenges must be identified and effective measures are put in place to ensure that the challenges are taken care of. The major problems that most of the medical facilities are the issue of understaffing. Nurses have faced challenges in terms of duties assigned to them in comparison to their numbers. Studies conducted have also portrayed that there are shortages of nurses in the medical facilities. However, the challenges that these nurses face are varied in different nations and towns, there are those nations that have surplus while there are those towns and nations that have a high shortage of these important service providers in the healthcare facilities. The impact of these shortages has also resulted in further challenges for the nurses. In this regard, one of the major challenges that these nurses face is the need to work for long hours due to the shortage of employees at the medical facilities. The few available nurses must work in shifts and endure long working hours to ensure that they meet the desired goals of the institution are met. The work of nurses calls for one to be sober and cognitive in decision making (McLelland et al. 2015). However, with a situation where nurses are required to work for long hours, work in shifts such that they can sleep for a while and resume their duties. This is a worrying trend for the nurses because their cognitive ability and judgment as normal human beings are likely to decline when overworked. Therefore, the chances of making poor decisions are also likely to increase with time as they work overtime. Besides that, the shortages of nurses in healthcare facilities which calls for overworking of these nurses to ensure that patients are fully taken care of, usually lead to an increase in hazard and dangerous accidents taking place taking place during
- 26. their execution of duties. For instance, nurses working in laboratories are exposed to hazardous chemicals, viruses, and pathogens as they seek to unveil the diseases of their patients (Shoorideh et al. 2015). Therefore, if they are overworked they are likely to make mistakes which might result in situations where the nurses might get injured or make the wrong diagnosis for their patients. This is a situation that can make the running of the facility unimaginable due to the prevailing situation. Significance of the Problem Nurses are key role players in the successful running of the healthcare facilities. All the healthcare facilities require the services of the nurses to ensure that the needs of the patients are taken care of. In this regard, the problem of understaffing of nurses at the medical institutions is a major problem that these institutions should be able to manage to ensure that the desired results are achieved. Medical facilities require that they use these nurses to discharge their duties perfectly; their shortage is an issue that institutions see a huge challenge towards meeting their goals. Shortages of nurses in healthcare organizations mean that these institutions are unable to effectively discharge their duties as expected. Experienced nurses have higher chances of perfectly discharging their duties, institutions that have insufficient nurses' means that they can only meet the ever-increasing number of patients in hospitals by overworking these nurses. Therefore, the chances of making poor decisions as nurses are also high as they get fatigued when they are overworked (Alavi et al. 2015). The issue of understaffed nurses is an issue of not only an issue of concern by medical facilities but also by the states and health organizations in various sectors. Healthcare is an issue of concern to all individuals as we are all expected to be of good health so that we can produce. States advocate having enough medical staff so that all medical situations can always be easily managed whenever they arise. Adequate nurses in the medical facilities usually make it easier to manage any medical
- 27. emergencies that might arise thus making it easier to have a healthy nation that's productive in all corners. Besides that, understaffed nurses mean that it's difficult for these professions to have time for their research and improve their skills. Medical facilities are always facing challenges on daily basis; there are medical situations that require substantial time for the nurses to analyze the samples before coming up with a solution to the prevailing situation (Lu et al. 2015). Therefore, in such cases where the number of nurses matters at any medical facility the process of determining the required results is usually difficult for the management. This ends with the facility not being able to satisfy their clients in the long run the facilities end up with reduced clients and low income if it's a private facility. Purpose of Research This research aims to determine the problems that nurse’s face in their daily discharging of duties. Nurses play key roles in our well-being in society and conducting research to determine the problems that they face is only meant to ensure that they improve in the services that they deliver. This study has shown that the major problem that they face is understaffing in most of the nations. Major hospitals have been unable to effectively discharge their duties because they have few nurses to effectively discharge their duties. Besides that, as a result of this study, relevant institutions and bodies have an opportunity to learn of the challenges that nurse’s face in their daily discharge of duties. In this regard, learning of the shortages of the nurses in the medical facilities indicates that relevant bodies and institutions should play their roles perfectly towards ensuring that there are adequate and qualified nurses for the medical facilities to ensure that at the end the desired goals can always be achieved (Skundberg‐Kletthagen & Moen, 2017). As a result, this study provides an opportunity for the relevant bodies to initiate the right measures that will make it better in the running of the medical facilities.
- 28. Research Questions This research seeks to determine the most effective ways that would ensure there is effective running of the desired goals. Nurses are critical for the provision of medical services in the facility. However, despite enormous studies being done on the roles of nurses in society, there have been limited studies that have been done on the exact challenges that nurses face. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question, what challenges nurses face in their daily discharge of duties? Besides that, there also the need to answer the question, what are the benefits of having adequate and qualified nurses in the medical facilities? Effective answering of these questions will provide a clear road map for the future nurses and relevant authorities. This only means that future nurses have a chance to be fully equipped and be well-staffed and experienced as they shall be provided with all the necessary tools and resources that would result in the desired needs of their clients being fully taken care of and on a timely basis.

Literature review 1. What are the factors that lead to the challenges that the nurses face when providing their services? 2. What are the challenges that nurses face in offering effective care to the patients Methodology and design of the study The research uses a detailed literature review. I will come up with a better study design to help conduct the research. It is evident that through the study, I will obtain detailed
- 34. information, unlike the previous research that has been conducted in the past that are in line with the thesis topic. There is much information in different journals and research papers. I, therefore, focused on researching many details using scholarly references and keywords such as adult learners, nurse education, and expectations. I also focused on unpublished and published materials that have more information. The main aim of the research is to come up with a precise, scientifically sound, resourceful, and convincing results. The kind of literature review that I have chosen to essay for the essay is all about coming up with the right research questions, being able to analyze some of the results obtained from the study, being able to choose the right pieces of information that will help address and answer the research, being able to group the literature themes and assessing the compiled literature. The primary aim is to answer the study question on the problems that nurses are facing in their day to day activities while at work. I will also help come up with better results not only from the current study but also looking at the previous studies that have been conducted before. It will help gather more knowledge from multiple sources hence being in a position of coming up with the right solution to the issue. It will also help me come up with the right evidence in cases where there was none found. The literature review will also help us in determining the characteristics and relationship between the concepts and the problem. Data search The process of collecting the search was done on 7th July 2019. Two authors conducted it. The primary aim of the search was to come up with an appropriate keyword, and the database that is relevant to the thesis. The research search and data collection entail using previous studies that have been conducted before and relate to the topic. It talks about the issue that affects the nurses in their workplaces. The articles that were used to conduct the research were obtained from a different database. They include the Elsevier science direct, CINAHL, and pub
- 35. med. In order to quickly find the document without any difficulties on the literature review and thesis, some of the keywords were used. They include nurse experiences and other synonyms. The search is limited to 8 years in order to provide a better chance of accessing sufficient and relevant data. Keywords/ results CINAHL PUBMED Elsevier science direct Care for patients 142 321 247 Nurse experiences 88 108 169 Challenges faced by nurses 82 135 134 Effective nursing 76 123 178 total 388 679 717 Sampling Methodology The research was, therefore, conducted under different circumstances. The authors came up with different techniques that would help conduct the research. The first thing was to
- 36. identify the people that will take part in the research. The nurses working both in the private and health sector took part in the study. They chose several 20 nurses working in the private sector to take part in the study. The research also used 30 nurses that are working in the public sector. The researchers grouped the nurses in different categories so as the research would be conducted smoothly. The researchers prepared questionnaires to help with the study. They came up with closed and open-ended questionnaires. There are those questionnaires where the interviewee will answer without any difficulties and those that the interviewee will be aided. The critical thing with this study is that the nurses are all literate and can quickly answer the research question facing any difficulties. The method is more natural to research since it is less costly. It will also contribute towards coming up with better and detailed results regarding the project. It is a standard methodology that has been used before by various studies to come up with better information for the study. The other key to consider when conducting is to keep a small number as it will help obtain rich data. Data can also be diminished in cases where one uses too many participants for the research. I also incorporated the use of email interviews. The email had question interviews which were sent to each participant. The key thing with using this method is that it saves time not only for the participants but also for the researcher. The research also uses less money for the study. They are only required to send mail to the participants containing the research questions. The researchers, therefore, sent the emails to all participants and alerted them. It was one way of increasing participants in taking part in the project. Data collection The method involves first introducing the research to the participants. It allows the participants to have trust in the researchers hence allowing the participant to come up with better results. The next thing is to combine the results in a PDF form to analyze them in detail. The participants, in this case, responded positively and answered well to the questions. The
- 37. critical thing is that every nurse that took part in the study is educated, and therefore they can quickly understand how to go about the questions. Role of the researcher The worker of the researcher, in this case, is to ensure that the research is conducted procedurally. The researcher also collects every detail to ensure that the research has sufficient data. The researcher also prepares the interviewee questions as well as alerts the respondents on how to answer the questions. References Alavi, A., Bahrami, M., Zargham-Boroujeni, A., & Yousefy, A.
