'Katarina Hedlund'] Reviews of evidence are a vital means of summarising growing bodies of research. Systematic reviews (SRs) aim to reduce bias and increase reliability when summarising high priority and controversial topics. Similar to SRs, systematic maps (SMs) were developed in social sciences to reliably catalogue…

The volume of published academic research is growing rapidly and this new era of “big literature” poses new challenges to evidence synthesis, pushing traditional, manual methods of evidence synthesis to their limits. New technology developments, including machine learning, are likely to provide solutions to the problem…

Context: Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the practice to automatically configure system dependencies and to provision local and remote instances. Practitioners consider IaC as a fundamental pillar to implement DevOps practices, which helps them to rapidly deliver software and services to end-users. Information…

[Context] Although software development is an inherently human activity, research in software engineering (SE) has long focused mostly on processes and tools, failing to recall about the human factors behind. Even when explored, researchers typically do not properly use psychology background to better understand human…

— Security patterns are a means to encapsulate and communicate proven security solutions. They are wellestablished approaches for introducing security into the software development process. Our objective is to explore the research efforts on security patterns and discuss the current state of the art. This study will…

Ethiopia’s livestock sector supports the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. However, despite the improvements of recent years, livestock productivity remains low due to critical constraints, including infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to collate and synthesise the published evidence on…

Background Participatory systems mapping (PSM) methods are increasingly applied in population health research to understand and address complex challenges. Despite their growing use, there remains limited understanding of how these approaches are implemented in practice. This systematic scoping review aimed to explore…

Systematic reviews aim to maximise transparency and comprehensiveness, whilst also minimising subjectivity and sources of bias. Because of these time-consuming and complex tasks, systematic reviews are perceived as being resource-intensive. To date, published estimates of systematic review resource requirements have…

'Tran Thi Thu Thi' 'Amanda Pomeroy–Stevens' 'Damodar Bachani'] The USAID-funded Building Healthy Cities (BHC) work in Da Nang, Vietnam, engaged 108 multi-sector stakeholders to gather qualitative data across two workshops and three citizen town halls from 2019 to 2021. These data were synthesized with the results from…

'Harry Rutter'] Context Participatory systems mapping is increasingly used to gain insight into the complex systems surrounding non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors. Objectives To identify and synthesize studies that used participatory systems mapping in the context of non-communicable diseases.…

Results. The result is a novel Expert-Driven Automatic Methodology, EDAM, for assisting researchers in performing SRs. EDAM combines ontology-learning techniques and semantic technologies with the human-in-the-loop. The first (thanks to automation) fosters scalability, objectivity, reproducibility and granularity of…

Rapidly growing cities face new and compounding health challenges, leading governments and donors to seek innovative ways to support healthier, more resilient urban growth. One such approach is the systems mapping process developed by Engaging Inquiry (EI) for the USAID-funded Building Healthy Cities project (BHC) in…

Accurate prediction of reaction barriers and transition states is central to understanding electrolyte degradation pathways in battery systems, yet existing approaches face significant computational trade-offs. Classical quantum-chemistry methods like density functional theory (DFT) scale favorably but often miss…

Relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations have emerged as a powerful tool supporting ligand optimization in drug discovery. Despite many successes, the use of RBFEs can often be limited by automation problems, in particular the setup of such calculations. Atom mapping algorithms are an essential component in…

Chemical reactions are regarded as transformations of chemical structures, and the question of which atoms in the reactants correspond to which atoms in the products has attracted chemists for a long time. Atom-to-atom mapping (AAM) is a procedure that establishes such correspondence(s) between the atoms of reactants…

Getting clinical data from different sources to “talk” to each other within the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) is arguably the most tedious part of multi-center research. While this integration is essential, the transformation process is frequently a manual grind, requiring a rare overlap of deep clinical knowledge and…

Landscape heterogeneity has an impact on wildlife behavior, their interactions, and their persistence. Urban landscapes are among the world’s most heterogeneous landscapes, yet current global landcover maps classify developed land in a single landcover type. This limits the spatial scale at which urban ecologists can…

Automatic potential energy surface (PES) exploration is important to better understand reaction mechanisms. Existing automatic PES mapping tools usually rely on predefined knowledge or on computationally expensive on-the-fly quantum-chemical calculations. In this work, we have developed a method for discovering novel…

Well-curated datasets are essential to evidence based decision making and to the integration of artificial intelligence with human reasoning across disciplines. However, many sources of data remain siloed, unstructured, and/or unavailable for complementary and secondary research. Sysrev was developed to address these…

'Atoosa Kasirzadeh' 'Lucia Velasco' 'Peter Slattery' 'Carina Prunkl'] Through a systematic review of academic literature, we propose a taxonomy of systemic risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI), in particular general-purpose AI. Following the EU AI Act's definition, we consider systemic risks as…

The Polytope Formalism provides a rigorous and unifying mathematical framework for representing all possible molecular configurations and their interrelationships. Extending its application from stereoisomerism to molecular constitution reveals that both arise from a common structural foundation linking discrete and…

Institutions’ inclination to fulfilling the mandate of producing quality graduates is overwhelming. Insistent petition for institutions to understand their students is about creating equitable opportunities for the diverse student bodies. However, “at-risk” students ubiquitously co-exist. This article conducted a…
