This document provides an overview of using Google and Google Scholar for research. It discusses the differences between Google and Google Scholar, with Google covering any information on the web while Google Scholar focuses specifically on academic research. The document outlines advanced search techniques for both tools, including using special search operators and limiting searches by date, file type, or site. Tips are provided on personalizing searches and evaluating source material found through Google Scholar.
The document discusses alternatives to Google for web searching. It notes that Google dominates the market, influencing how users perceive and interact with search results. Few true alternatives exist due to economic barriers to creating comprehensive indexes. The author proposes an independent, openly accessible web index to promote diversity and innovation in search applications beyond what any single company can offer. This could motivate new types of search tools and encourage alternatives to the current market dominance.
What is the current status quo of the Semantic Web as first mentioned by Tim Berners Lee in 2001?
Not only 10 blue links can drive you traffic anymore, Google has added many so called Knowlegde cards and panels to answer the specific informational need of their users. Sounds complicated, but it isn’t. If you ask for information, Google will try to answer it within the result pages.
I'll share my research from a theoretical point of view through exploring patents and papers, and actual testing cases in the live indices of Google. Getting your site listed as the source of an Answer Card can result in an increase of CTR as much as 16%. How to get listed? Come join my session and I'll shine some light on the factors that come into play when optimizing for Google's Knowledge graph.
This document provides a summary of productivity and information tools. It describes several applications and websites, including Cloudfogger for encrypting files, InFocus for highlighting webpages, Google's screen capture tool, and Screenleap for sharing your screen. It also mentions Zanran for finding data and statistics, and industry guides from the British Library.

SEO September Newsletter 2023 Temporary - Pilotsanal suraj
Google is testing a new design for AI-generated answers that integrates the response into the traditional search interface. The September 2023 Helpful Content Update from Google is promoting helpful pages and demoting unhelpful ones. Google has confirmed that the length of meta descriptions does not impact search ranking.
The document discusses various strategies for international search engine optimization and marketing. It covers selecting target countries and languages, optimizing content and metadata for specific international keywords, using appropriate top-level domains and hosting, and registering with tools like Google Webmaster Central to help search engines understand the intended geographic focus of a website. It also mentions using paid search/pay-per-click advertising to selectively target ads and queries to specific countries.
This document provides tips and tools for improving productivity. It summarizes recent updates to services like Google, YouTube, and Gmail. It also introduces specialized data tools from sources like the USPTO and Crunchbase for exploring trends in patents and companies. Finally, it outlines several social networks and boards that can help discover new information online.
The document provides updates on various Google tools and services from November 2012. It summarizes new features for online tools like Visuwords, Behind the Magic Words spreadsheet, Google Books Ngram Viewer, and Google Scholar citations. It also covers updates to Google Trends, Google Patents, Google Sets, Google Catalogs, and the new Google Cultural Institute. General information sections provide search advice and lists of government domain extensions by country.
This document discusses the pathophysiology and medical management of acute hemorrhagic stroke. It notes that spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for 10-20% of strokes and has a high mortality rate. Chronic hypertension is the leading cause, responsible for about 60% of cases. Other common causes include cerebral amyloid angiopathy and anticoagulant use. The location and expansion of the hematoma, development of hydrocephalus and cerebral edema are consequences that impact outcomes. Early management focuses on blood pressure control and reversal of anticoagulation to prevent hematoma expansion.
This document summarizes a study examining the role of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in protecting against brain injury caused by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in mice. The study found that Nrf2 knockout mice exhibited larger brain injury volumes and greater neurological deficits 24 hours after ICH induction compared to wild-type mice. Additionally, Nrf2 knockout mice showed increased leukocyte infiltration, reactive oxygen species production, DNA damage, and cytochrome c release during the early post-ICH period. These results suggest that Nrf2 provides protection against ICH-induced early brain injury, likely by reducing leukocyte-mediated free radical oxidative damage.

These results suggest that Nrf2 provides protection against ICH-induced early brain injury, likely by reducing leukocyte-mediated free radical oxidative damage.
The document discusses hematologic disorders, focusing on lymphomas. It defines lymphomas as neoplasms of lymphoid cells that usually start in lymph nodes but can spread to other lymphatic tissues. Lymphomas are broadly classified into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin lymphoma is described in more detail, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology involving Reed-Sternberg cells, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, medical management using chemotherapy and radiation, and nursing considerations around screening and education. NHL is discussed as a heterogeneous group of cancers involving malignant B or T lymphocytes that can infiltrate multiple lymph node sites and extranodal tissues.
This document provides an overview of mechanical ventilation. It defines mechanical ventilation as artificial ventilation of the lungs using a ventilator. Ventilators deliver gas to the lungs with either negative or positive pressure. The main purposes of mechanical ventilation are to maintain ventilation and tissue oxygenation, and decrease the work of breathing. Indications for mechanical ventilation include respiratory failure from various causes. The document describes different types of ventilators including negative pressure ventilators and various positive pressure ventilators. It also covers ventilator modes, settings, and how to optimize ventilation based on a patient's condition.
This document discusses mechanical ventilation, including its purposes, types, modes, settings, complications, weaning process, and nursing care of patients on ventilators. The main types are negative pressure ventilators like iron lungs and positive pressure ventilators. Common modes include assist-control, SIMV, PSV and APRV. Key settings include tidal volume, rate, sensitivity and PEEP. Weaning involves gradually reducing support in stages. Nursing care focuses on airway management, ventilation, safety, communication and weaning progress.
This document discusses polycythemia, which refers to an increased volume of red blood cells. There are two types: primary polycythemia vera, which is a stem cell disorder causing elevated red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts; and secondary polycythemia caused by excessive erythropoietin production in response to factors like smoking or lung disease. Symptoms include headaches and fatigue from increased blood volume and risks of clotting or bleeding. Medical management focuses on phlebotomy to reduce blood thickness while nursing management educates on risk reduction and symptom management.
This document describes respiratory care modalities including chest physiotherapy techniques like postural drainage, percussion, and breathing exercises. Postural drainage uses specific positions and gravity to drain secretions from the lungs into the trachea where they can be coughed or suctioned out. Percussion helps loosen thick secretions for removal. Breathing retraining teaches pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing to make breathing more efficient. The nurse's role is to instruct patients and families on these techniques and ensure they are performed correctly and safely to clear the lungs and improve ventilation.
This document discusses ethical issues in nursing research. It outlines the objectives of summarizing the development of ethical codes and guidelines, describing the role of institutional review boards, citing examples of informed consent elements, discussing how integrity in research is promoted, and analyzing issues that threaten integrity among nurse researchers. It also explains the role of nurse researchers as patient advocates.
This document outlines the objectives and content for a student presentation on developing nursing knowledge. It will:
1. Define knowing and knowledge and discuss three key phases in the philosophy of knowledge - rationalism, empiricism, and historicism.
2. Discuss the differences between three types of knowledge - "know how", "know that", and "know why" - giving nursing examples.
3. Examine Carper's (1978) "ways of knowing" in nursing and Kerlinger's (1986) "categories of knowledge", providing practice examples.
4. Identify two main strategies to develop nursing knowledge: inductive and deductive reasoning.
The document discusses nursing theory, including its definition, purpose, and construction. It begins by asking what nursing theories are and why they are important. Nursing theories are then defined as conceptual frameworks that describe, explain, or predict phenomena in nursing. Theories are made up of concepts linked by propositions. Several influential nursing theorists such as Florence Nightingale and Hildegard Peplau developed theories by directly observing phenomena in clinical practice. The construction of theory involves identifying concepts and linking them with propositions to form a framework for understanding nursing phenomena.
This document discusses nursing research and its importance. Nursing research is a scientific process that generates new knowledge to directly influence nursing practice. It aims to develop an evidence-based practice that improves outcomes for patients, nurses, and the healthcare system. The document defines different types of nursing research, including quantitative, qualitative, descriptive, correlational, experimental, and historical research. It also outlines the steps of the nursing research process and discusses the importance of ethics and avoiding scientific misconduct in nursing research.
This document outlines the steps in quantitative and qualitative research. It begins by differentiating between the two methods, noting that quantitative research uses numeric and measurable data while qualitative focuses on personal perceptions.
For quantitative research, the steps include identifying a problem, developing a hypothesis, collecting numeric data, analyzing results, and interpreting findings. For qualitative research, the process involves identifying a problem, selecting a design, collecting subjective data through interviews or observations, analyzing themes in the data, and interpreting results.
Finally, the document discusses using both methods together in a single study to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a problem. It provides examples of nursing issues that could be addressed through these research approaches.
The document outlines the key steps in the scientific research process, including identifying a research question, forming a hypothesis, conducting research, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. It discusses 12 specific steps that guide research, including identifying the research question, reviewing literature, formulating a hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data. The research question is the foundation, and can be descriptive, examine relationships, or test for differences. Variables, including independent, dependent, and extraneous variables, are also defined.
This document discusses hypotheses in research studies. It defines a hypothesis and explains their purposes, including guiding research design and statistical analysis. Hypotheses can be classified in various ways, such as simple vs complex, directional vs nondirectional, and causal vs associative. The null hypothesis predicts no relationship while the research hypothesis states an expected relationship. Guidelines are provided for developing testable hypotheses and critiquing them in research reports.
This document discusses the evaluation and management of comatose patients. It emphasizes performing ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) initially and evaluating for life-threatening issues. It describes assessing pupils, blood pressure, glucose, and using the Glasgow Coma Scale to evaluate level of consciousness. Causes of coma like head injuries, liver failure, diabetes, and renal failure are reviewed. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and supporting vital functions.
This document discusses the neural basis of consciousness and provides definitions for different levels of altered mental status including coma. It describes the anatomy related to mental status including the ascending reticular activating system, cerebral hemispheres, and their interaction. Coma is defined as a state of unconsciousness with absent sleep-wake cycles. The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess the severity of impaired consciousness. Various approaches for differential diagnosis of an unresponsive patient are outlined. Causes of coma including cerebrovascular disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumors, hypotension, and raised intracranial pressure are described. A detailed neurological examination of a comatose patient is also discussed.
This document discusses the approach to patients presenting in a coma. It defines coma as a state of unresponsiveness where patients cannot be aroused even with vigorous stimulation. It describes various stages between alertness and coma. Coma is caused by dysfunction of the brainstem or both hemispheres of the brain. A thorough assessment is needed to determine the cause and guide management, including a neurological exam to identify any focal signs. Key aspects of the exam include vital signs, pupil response, eye movements, motor response and reflexes. Different patterns on exam can localize the lesion causing the coma. Immediate life-saving interventions are also often needed.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. All change!
Search engines - new algorithms, ranking and display,
personalisation
EU ruling on “right to be forgotten”, how much is being
censored/removed?
Free government and legal resources, official data and
statistics, open data
Social media

3. Things you need to know about Google search
Google personalises your search
Personalises search based on
– location
– device that you are using
– past search history
– past browsing activity
– activity in other areas of Google e.g. YouTube, blogs,
images
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 3
4. Private browsing - quickest way “un-personalise”search
Chrome - New Incognito window Ctrl+Shift+N
FireFox Ctrl+Shift+P
Internet Explorer Ctrl+Shift+P
Opera Ctrl+Shift+N
Will not remove country/location personalisation
Not search engine specific, built into the browser
5. Things you need to know about Google search
Google automatically looks for variations on your search
terms and sometimes drops terms from your search
– Google may or may not tell you that it has ignored some of your
terms
– “..” around terms, phrases, names, titles of documents does not
always work
– To force an exact match and inclusion of a term prefix it with
‘intext:’
public transport intext:algal biofuels
– Use Verbatim for an exact match search
7. Google now showing missing search terms?
Not always shown – possibly still a live experiment?

8. Things you need to know about Google search
Google web search does not search everything it has in
its database
– two indexes: main, default index and the supplemental index
– supplemental index may contain less popular, unusual, specialist
material
– supplemental index comes into play when Google thinks your
search has returned too few results
– Verbatim and some advanced search commands seems to
trigger a search in the supplemental index
9. Things you need to know about Google search
Google changes its algorithms several hundred times a year
How Google makes improvements to its search algorithm -

10. Things you need to know about Google search
We are all Google’s lab rats
Just Testing: Google Users May See Up To A Dozen
Experiments
http://searchengineland.com/just-testing-google-
searchers-may-see-up-to-a-dozen-experiments-
141570
Mostly minor effects on search but sometimes
totally bizarre results
11. What I see on my screen will not be what
you see on your screen, will not be what
your colleagues see on theirs, will not be
what your users see.
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 11
12. Hummingbird
Not just an update but a completely new algorithm
Tries to make “sense” of your query and put it into context,
natural language queries
Uses search history, your location, what other people have
searched on and clicked on, device being used
Now difficult to predict how Google will handle your search and
how results will be displayed
Layout of results and menu options depend on type of search

13. EU - so called “right to be forgotten” ruling
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 13
Edition of Monday, January
19, 1998, page 23 -
Newspaper - Lavanguardia.es
http://hemeroteca.lavanguardi
a.com/preview/1998/01/19/pag
ina-23/33842001/pdf.html
EU Court of Justice ruled that
Google is a “data controller”
under Data Protection
legislation and must remove
links to information that is
“inadequate, irrelevant .... or
excessive” from search
results on a person’s name.
14. Information is NOT removed from the web
Subject can apply to have links in search results that point to
specific information removed from the results
Not just Google – all search engines with an EU presence
Only applies to searches conducted in the EU + Norway,
Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein
Not automatic – subject has to apply and request will be assessed
to see if the information is “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer
relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they
were processed.”
Google’s request form available at

24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 14
15. How to get around it?
Google now removing results (and also adding back in
results) from searches in European country versions of
Google
Indicates on the results page if information has been
excluded
Google adds removal statement from all results for searches
on personal names even if nothing has been removed (name
generally has to be within double quotes in the search for this
to happen)
Use non-European Google to see all results
e.g. Google.com, Google.ca - but will see country biased
results
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 15
18. Google menu options change depending on your search

30. Search commands that are still around
PDF for legislation, consultation documents, research
documents, government reports, industry papers
ppt or pptx for presentations, tracking down an expert on a topic
xls or xlsx for spreadsheets containing data
Use the advanced search screen or the filetype: command
"control of dogs (wales) bill" filetype:pdf
organ donation wales opt out filetype:ppt
organ donation wales opt out filetype:pptx
organ donation wales filetype:xls
organ donation wales filetype:xlsx
Combine with site command
organ donation filetype:xls site:nhs.uk
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 30
31. Search commands that are still around (2)
site: to search within a site or type of site
housing regeneration swansea site:wales.gov.uk
housing regeneration swansea site:gov.uk
Also site:ac.uk site:nhs.uk
Can exclude sites using –site:
housing regeneration swansea site:gov.uk
-site:wales.gov.uk
organ donation statistics wales -site:au
Does NOT search inside databases or protected areas
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 31
32. Date
Restrict your results to information that has been published
within the last hour, day, week, month, year or your own date
range
Search tools, Any time and select an option
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 32
33. Bing/Yahoo
Yahoo now uses Bing’s database, commands and ranking algorithms
Yahoo Finance still available
No advanced search screen on Bing - use commands
List at Advanced Operator Reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/ff795620.aspx
filetype: site:
AND, NOT, OR parentheses for complex Boolean searches
NEAR:n where n is a number, specifies that the terms must be within that
number of words of each other and in any order
-banana NEAR:3 toffee
Date option only for US version
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 33
34. Bing http://www.bing.com/
Results seem to be more consumer/retail focused
– more ‘shopping’ than research
– results improve as soon as you start using the advanced search
commands
Sometimes more up to date than Google
– updates sites more frequently
– adds new sites more quickly
– useful if you are looking for information on a new company or
organisation
BUT interesting features and options available to US users only
– changing location and version of Bing does not always work
– using anonymous proxy does not always work
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 34
37. DuckDuckGo – http://duckduckgo.com/
Does not track, does not personalise, no EU presence so no
“right to be forgotten”
Results are a compilation of about 50 sources including
Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, Blekko and its own Web crawler
DuckDuckBot. “In partnership with Yandex”
Advanced search DuckDuckGo Syntax

Million Short: unearthing information hidden in the dungeons of
Google’s results
– http://www.rba.co.uk/wordpress/2012/10/04/million-short-
unearthing-stuff-hidden-in-the-dungeons-of-googles-results/
Uses Bing API plus other sources
Great for finding specialist articles that Google buries beyond reach
Removes top 10k sites from results - can change to top million, 100k,
1k, 100
Can add sites back in, can block sites
Can “Boost!” sites so that they always appear at the top
Can use site: and filetype: commands
Country versions give different results (under Manage Settings and
Country)
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 38
40. Yandex http://www.yandex.com/
– for filetype use mime:
diabetic retinopathy mime:pptx
– has an advanced search screen at
http://yandex.com/search/advanced

52. Google Scholar
http://scholar.google.com/
“Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly
literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and
sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from
academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories,
universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant
work across the world of scholarly research”.
• Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place
• Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications
• Locate the complete document through your library or on the web
• Keep up with recent developments in any area of research
• Check who's citing your publications, create a public author profile
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 52
53. Google Scholar
Does not cover all key journals in all subjects – no source list,
but getting better
Top publications for subjects and languages under Metrics link
on home page or
http://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en
Scholar indexes the full text but you may have to pay to view the
whole article
Groups different versions of an article together
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 53
54. Google Scholar
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 54
Does NOT use the publishers’ metadata
Date and author search looks in the area of the document where
those elements are usually found
Page numbers, part of an address, data item may be mistaken
for publication year
Sometimes gets the author wrong
Is MA Lib really
the author?
55. Google Scholar for systematic reviews?

coverage of google scholar enough to be used alone for systematic
reviews http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6947/13/7
No, Google Scholar Shouldn’t be Used Alone for Systematic Review

http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/13/131
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 55
56. Google Scholar advanced search commands
Use advanced search screen or commands as follows:
+ sign before a search term to force an exact match, for example +norne
“....” around phrases for example “environmental remediation”
intitle: to search for a single word in the title, for example intitle:zeolites
environmental remediation
allintitle: to search for all of your terms in the title, for example
allintitle:zeolites environmental remediation
author: to search on an author’s name, for example
zeolites environmental remediation author:rhodes
site: to limit your search to specific institution for example
marcellus shale site:psu.edu
Commands can be combined for a precise search, for example
author:wolford site:psu.edu allintitle:marcellus shale
24/10/2022 www.rba.co.uk 56
57. Microsoft Academic Search
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/
Journal articles, pre-prints, post-prints, conference
proceedings, reports and white papers
Free to use but the full text of some papers can only be
viewed on payment of a fee to the original journal publisher
Author may have several different profiles and articles may
be assigned to wrong author
Sometimes very slow to load
