Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat that requires a "One Health" approach. Of the One Health triad, the environmental component is the most dynamic and most neglected. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to assess and analyze global research activity on AMR in the environment. Methods: This was a bibliometric descriptive study of publications on AMR in the environment. Publications were retrieved using SciVerse Scopus for the study period from 2000 to 2019. The search query was developed using terms and phrases related to the topic. The retrieved publications were analyzed for specific bibliometric indicators including annual growth, citation analysis, key players, research output for each world regions, research themes, and occurrences of different drug classes of antimicrobials. Visualization maps including research collaboration were created using VOSviewer program. The Hirsch (h) index was used to assess scientific impact. Results: There were 2611 research articles based on the implemented research query. The retrieved documents had an average of 22 citations per document and an h-index of 122. The annual number of publications showed a steep increase from 2011 to 2019. The major research themes in the field were (1) dissemination and abundance of antibiotic-resistant genes and (2) detection of bacterial strains or antibiotic residues in various environmental isolates. The bulk of the retrieved articles (n = 899; 34.4%) originated from the European region. China led with 598 (22.9%) documents. Four of the top 10 active institutions were in China. The top 10 active countries had relatively inadequate international research collaboration. The most commonly encountered antibiotic drug classes in the retrieved articles were penicillin/cephalosporin (n = 1152 occurrences). The most frequently encountered pathogen in the retrieved publications was E. coli (n = 666). The Science of the Total Environment journal was the most prolific journal with 139 (5.3%) publications. Conclusion: Scientific literature on the AMR in the environment has witnessed a steep growth lately with a leading role of China and Chinese institutions. Data on AMR in the environment need to be collected from all world regions including the Eastern Mediterranean and African regions through research collaboration and funding of research in this field.
Background: Adolescents and youth (young people) are central to the success of the 2030 agenda. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge among young people is critical for their well-being. The objective study was to assess and analyze publications on SHR knowledge among young people. Method: This study was a bibliometric descriptive one for publications retrieved from Scopus on SHR knowledge among young people. All relevant terms on young people, SHR, and knowledge were implemented to retrieve relevant publications for the study period from 1900 to 2019. Results: The search found 2544 publications. Publication started on 1951. The number of publications showed two steep phases: one in mid-1980s and one after 2005. Four research themes were identified: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); human papillomavirus (HPV), condom, and contraception with documents on HPV vaccinations being the most recent. The retrieved publications received an average of 10.9 citations per document and an h -index of 61. The top cited documents published before 2010 focused mainly on HIV, HPV, and condom use while those after 2010 focused on HIV testing technology, HIV prophylaxis and HPV vaccination. The retrieved documents originated mainly from the region of the Americas (n=944). When data were normalized, the South-Eastern Asian region had the highest research activity. At the country level, the USA ranked first (n=701; 27.6%) but when data was normalized, India (91.5 publication per GDP per capita) ranked first followed by Nigeria (53.0) and South Africa (17.9). Journal of Adolescent Health (n=39; 1.5%) ranked first but documents published in AIDS Education and Prevention journal received the highest number of citations per document (34.1). The University of California, San Francisco ranked first (n=33; 1.3%) in this field. The average number of authors per publication was 3.8. Research networking in this field was poor. Conclusion: This was the first analysis of publications on SRH knowledge among a category of people who are most often neglected in their SRH needs. Research on knowledge and awareness on this subject need to be carried out in all world regions to tailor sex education and health policies to the sociocultural and religious situation in each country.
Efficient Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become an extremely flexible means of obtainingmarket advantages and improving company productivity as there is no longer rivalry within firms but supplychains. Such investigations conceptualize and address five facets of SCM practices (supplier strategic alliance,customer relationships, information exchange, efficiency exchange, and postponement) and examine thecorrelation with SCM operations, competitive gains, and organizational outcomes. Data was collected from 232Jordanian individuals, and structural equation analysis was used to assess the connections involved in theresearch. The results indicate that competitive advantages have a small effect on supply chain efficiency andorganizational performance. The comparative edge would therefore specifically and valuably impact corporateperformance. This work provides theoretical evidence to support methodological and prescriptive conclusions onthe consequences of SCM practices in the literature.
Purpose: This paper attempted to evaluate the attributing factors of corporate tax that impact and influence the financial decision-making of the businesses of Jordan. The attributes of mandatory disclosure of Jordan and opportunities in the financial report have been comprehensively discussed to analyze the financial accountability factor. Theoretical framework: the paper discussed the hypotheses related to the features of corporate tax that impact the business decisions in Jordan, the sectors of financial accountability in emerging markets, the link between corporate governance and financial reports, and the connection between attributes of taxpayers and VAT compliance. Design/methodology/approach: the descriptive type of research design is implemented to follow both qualitative and quantitative methods of research. The data were measured and evaluated using correlation, and regression to understand the link and connection between the research variables. Findings: it can be concluded that there are various factors that impact the decision-making of the businesses in corporations such as the size of the business. Also, there is in rising opportunity for the financial reports and a link between the attributes of the taxpayers and VAT compliance. Moreover, the accounting framework of Jordan is also discussed comprehensively and the strategies that are followed for mandatory disclosure of businesses in Jordan or also discussed. Among the factors, the agency cost and profitability together with financial leverage also have an impact on the decision-making of the businesses. Research, Practical & Social implications: the stance of financial accountability in emerging economies like Jordan is being discussed with in-depth understanding. Originality/value: identifying the features of corporate tax that impact the business decisions in Jordan, understanding the sectors of financial accountability in emerging markets, identifying the link between corporate governance and financial reports, understanding the connection between attributes of taxpayers and VAT compliance.
This review aims to study the influence of financial performance in commercial banks in India. The article used descriptive analysis, correlation matrix, and regression analysis. The results showed that firm size, capital adequacy, deposit, and inflation rate have a strongly significant influence on financial performance, while gross domestic product (GDP) has no significant impact on return on assets. The outcomes also indicated that firm size (LOGAS), capital adequacy (CA), and deposit (DP) have a negative influence on financial performance, whereas macroeconomic features as GDP and rate of inflation have a positive effect on return on assets of the current investigation. This article bridges the existing gap in the financial performance and profitability of Indian banks during the period of the study. This study also very important for users, analyses, investors, academicians, and research scholars.
