Plagiarism, duplication and salami-slicing explained within an ethical framework of best practice in academic publishing delivered online to Pakistani nurses forum 2020
Developing a reputable nursing journalRoger Watson
Journals need to be reputable to establish trustworthiness, which is indicated by factors such as an established publisher, reputable editors and editorial board, rigorous peer review and ethics processes, indexing in databases like PubMed and Medline, and the publisher avoiding practices like duplicative publishing. Reputable journals also have clear authorship guidelines to avoid issues like plagiarism, falsification, or undisclosed conflicts of interest that could compromise the integrity of published research. Maintaining high standards for publication helps ensure the quality and reliability of research that is disseminated through academic journals.
Philosophy in nursing: what have the Romans ever done for us?Roger Watson
This document summarizes the key topics discussed at the 21st International Philosophy of Nursing Conference. It discusses important philosophers and articles that have influenced the field. It also examines some of the challenges facing philosophical writing in nursing, including the rise of new forms of scholarship through social media and changes in academic publishing. The document advocates for greater involvement of philosophers in nursing research through roles on editorial boards and research projects to help address conceptual and methodological issues.
This document outlines a presentation on current issues in publication ethics given by Zubin Master. It discusses topics like retractions and misconduct, questionable publication practices like salami slicing and redundant publication, plagiarism, and issues around authorship. The presentation provides examples and illustrations on these topics and discusses international guidelines on authorship from organizations like ICMJE. The goal is to promote integrity and responsible conduct in research publications.
Target audience: graduate students or beginning faculty who want to publish in scholarly or academic journals. Includes info about selecting & targeting the right journal, preparing and submitting a manuscript, and responding to decisions.
PLOS is a large nonprofit open access publisher that publishes several peer-reviewed journals. They currently ask authors to specify author contributions at submission in broad categories like conceiving experiments and analyzing data. PLOS is implementing a new standardized taxonomy of contributor roles from the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) project to more precisely capture each author's specific contributions. They will need to ensure authors understand the difference between criteria for authorship versus acknowledgements, decide whether to use the new taxonomy for acknowledgements as well, and have each author confirm their own contributions.
The document discusses the "publish or perish" perspective of PhD education and whether an emphasis on publishing produces better PhD students. It argues that the publishing process itself is lengthy, tedious, and not conducive to creativity. Modern PhD students are pressured to publish 3-5 papers, often of low quality and with the supervisor as a co-author, focusing more on formatting papers in different ways rather than generating new ideas. The author is skeptical of this approach and believes PhD education should minimize publishing requirements and allow students to take risks and potentially fail, in order to foster creativity rather than forcing students into the "publish or perish" mindset too early.

This document discusses academic journals and writing journal articles. It defines academic journals as periodical publications that publish peer-reviewed scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline. The purpose of academic journals is to allow scholars to communicate knowledge to each other and improve their fields. The key elements of a journal article are the title, abstract, byline, introduction, literature review, methodology, findings, and conclusion. When writing a journal article, researchers should browse relevant journals, read widely in their field, and understand the content before generating their own. They should also be wary of predatory journals that do not conduct peer review.

وكالة عمادة البحث العلمي للأقسام النسائية، جامعة الملك سعود.
With the progress towards open science, scientific communication is facing a new wave of innovations towards more openness and speed of research publication which will deeply affect the way the peer review function is carried out and the overall role of journals in assuring quality and adding value to manuscripts.
Several initiatives are promoting the generalized adoption of open access preprints as a formal beginning stage of research publication, which has been common since the 90’s in the physics community. And, in the last decade, new ways to carry out the evaluation of manuscripts have emerged either to replace or to improve the traditional methods, which are widely criticized as being slow and expensive in addition to lacking transparency.
Quality nonprofit journals from emerging and developing countries have succeeded to follow the main innovations brought by the Internet. In addition to the technicalities of the digital publishing, there is a wide adoption of Open Access in the international flow of scientific information. The new wave of innovations that affect the peer review function and the changing role of journals pose new challenges to the emerging and developing countries in regard of scientific publishing. The adoption of these innovations is essential for progress of SciELO as a leading open access program to enhance scientific communication.
The scope of this workshop aims at an in-depth analysis and discussion of the state of art and main trends of the peer review function, the modalities of carrying it out as well as of the increasing adoption of mechanisms to speed publication such as preprints and how they affect and potentially renew the role of journals. These recommendations will guide SciELO policies on manuscript evaluation and on the adoption of preprint publications.
Talk 2 at Research Integrity workshop at Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, April 6th 2018
http://www.mpipz.mpg.de/events/13302/4358571
The document discusses scientific publishing and the peer review process. It covers:
- The history of scientific publishing and the growth of journals since 1665.
- Why researchers publish - for registration, validation, dissemination and archiving of their work.
- The peer review process that editors use to validate research quality before publication.
- Metrics that publishers and editors use to measure journal quality, including citations, impact factors, and other bibliometric data.
Presentation given at Open Science question and answer session hosted by the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), and the Office for Scholarly Communication (OSC) at Harvard University, on July 16th 2014.
The document discusses referencing, plagiarism, and proper citation techniques. It defines referencing as attributing the source of ideas and information. References are important as they show research, support arguments, and give credit to other authors. The document outlines different types of references and how to select relevant references. It also discusses plagiarism, including different types like direct plagiarism and paraphrasing without citation. The document provides guidance on properly citing references in the text and reference list, and how to avoid plagiarism through organization, note-taking, citing all sources, and paraphrasing information.
This document provides an overview of the scholarly publishing process. It discusses the roles of publishers in soliciting, managing, and reviewing submissions; producing, publishing, and disseminating scholarly works; and archiving content. It also touches on how publishers add value through innovation and technology, such as developing digital platforms and mobile content. The rest of the document focuses on further reading resources for authors, reviewers, editors, and other topics related to scholarly publishing.
The document discusses problems with traditional authorship practices in scientific publishing and proposes contributorship as an alternative. Traditional authorship obscures individual contributions, allows honorary authorships, and does not support growing specialization in science. Contributorship would provide a formal record of specific contributions using a standardized taxonomy and address issues of fairness, accountability, and efficient allocation of resources.
The document discusses biological research challenges, the student-supervisor relationship, and the process of publishing research. It notes that biological research is becoming more collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and data-driven. A key to success is developing research skills and the ability to integrate knowledge across areas. The relationship between students and supervisors should be collaborative, with clear expectations and responsibilities set for progress monitoring, guidance, and addressing issues. Publishing research is important for impact. Authors should choose reputable journals and write clearly and concisely, following publication guidelines and ethics. The peer review process often initially rejects manuscripts, so authors should consider reviewer feedback to improve their work prior to resubmission.

Research into mealtimes and older people with dementia.pptxRoger Watson
This document discusses research into helping older people with dementia during mealtimes. Dementia can cause problems with intelligence, memory, language, wandering, aggression and more. It also discusses the ethical issues around feeding those with dementia. The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale is presented as the most widely used and validated measure of feeding difficulty. Several studies testing interventions like music or Montessori-based activities found positive outcomes, though more rigorous research is still needed. Spaced retrieval training was found to reduce mealtime difficulties and promote independence. Creating the right environment, social interactions and individualized care can help prolong eating ability in dementia patients.

Inexperienced writers often struggle with presenting simple concepts clearly. They tend to use sentences that are too long with too many ideas, poor grammar, and sentence structure. As a result, the point is lost by the time the reader reaches the end of the sentence. They also make mistakes using single sentence paragraphs. Effective writing requires using shorter, clearer sentences and varying paragraph length.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
