Presentation for the Bibliometrics & Research Assessment Symposium 2020 (bibSymp20) https://www.nihlibrary.nih.gov/services/bibliometrics/bibSymp20
October 9, 2020
Retraction is intended to remove articles from the citable literature. However, a series of studies from over 30 years, from 1990 through 2020, have found that many retracted papers continue to be cited, and cited positively, even following misconduct-related retractions. For instance, a fraudulent clinical trial report retracted in 2008 continues to receive citations in 2020, and 96% of post-retraction citations do not mention its citation - perhaps because its retraction not marked on the publisher website and its retraction notice cannot be readily retrieved from 7 out of 8 databases (8 out of 9 database records) we tested. This talk draws an ongoing systematic mapping study of research about retraction and our own research projects to summarize what is known about post-retraction citation in biomedicine. We outline practical steps that authors and reviewers can take to avoid being caught out by poorly marked retracted papers.
20 minutes including Q&A
Search Concepts, Methods, Resources, and ToolsJohn Pell
These are slides I used for a presentation to a group of graduate students about to undertake their field work for their capstone project in public health. The aim of the presentation was to provide guidance for topic selection, developing research questions, creating search strategies, conducting searches, and managing search results. The concepts and and methods are informed by standards for systematic review but are presented at a more general and less rigorous level.
Describe the major available electronic resources
Describe how to build a search strategy
Describe some alternate sources for finding trials
Describe what to do once you get your search results

Omschrijving conferentie: Onderzoeksdatamanagement is een belangrijk thema voor de komende jaren. Tijdens de conferentie worden projecten bij de UB rond onderzoeksdata en de rol van informatiespecialisten toegelicht. De opslag van onderzoeksdata is bij een aantal pilots gekoppeld aan de samenwerkings- en communicatieomgeving van de UvA (UvA Communities) en zijn daarmee de voorloper van de Virtuele Research Environments (VRE’s). Daarnaast wordt ingegaan op de plannen van SURF rond onderzoeksdata

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

6. Abstract Using a visual search methodology we investigated the effect of feared animal
stimuli on attention. Our results confirmed the important role of emotion on
attention. All participants detected fear-relevant stimuli (snakes and spiders)
faster than neutral (mushrooms) ones against a background of fruits. In addition,
spider fearful participants were sensitized specifically to detect their feared
stimulus (spiders), compared to their fear-relevant but non-feared (snakes) and
neutral stimuli. However, for participants fearful of snakes there was no
significant difference in detection latencies between the feared (snakes) and the
fear-relevant but non-feared animal stimuli (spiders). The results from the
attention task were mirrored in the emotional ratings, which showed that spider
fear was highly specific, whereas snake fear was associated with a more
generalized enhanced evaluation of all negative stimuli. (PsycINFO Database
