Traditionally, there has been little intersection between cognitive film theory and documentary studies. This article initially outlines the main reasons for this lacuna, but it also highlights the few existing exceptions. While these remain too embryonic to initiate a large, overarching, and evolving discourse, they constitute seminal landmarks and stepping stones for the future of cognitive documentary studies, which, as we argue, needs to be a pragmatic endeavor. Based on this premise, we propose a research framework consisting of four areas of interest: the mediation of realities; character engagement; emotion and embodied experience; and documentary practice. This framework takes into account intratextual and extratextual aspects in relation to documentary production and reception, as well as potential social impacts.

In the future, diagnostic devices will be able to monitor a patient’s physiological or biochemical parameters continuously, under natural physiological conditions and in any environment through wearable biomedical sensors. Together with apps that capture and interpret data, and integrated enterprise and cloud data repositories, the networks of wearable devices and body area networks will constitute the healthcare’s Internet of Things. In this review, four main areas of interest for respiratory healthcare are described: pulse oximetry, pulmonary ventilation, activity tracking and air quality assessment. Although several issues still need to be solved, smart wearable technologies will provide unique opportunities for the future or personalised respiratory medicine.

Photovoltaic systems installed in Ecuador benefit from the geographical position of the country, since, being located on the equatorial line, solar radiation is constant throughout the year, varying in the rainy seasons. The objective of this work is to evaluate the possibility of installing public lighting systems using photovoltaic systems in the Abdón Calderón parish due to the difficulties that exist today, thereby helping not only to reduce the country's energy generation problems, but also to reduce the environmental impact and provide autonomy to the inhabitants of the parish. An observational research was carried out, in addition to interviewing the residents of the parish related to lighting in the streets, as a result, it was obtained that in the future investments can be made to introduce the technology, improving with it the quality of public lighting, the environmental and social impacts associated with it.

PurposePredicting the impact of social entrepreneurship is crucial as it can help social entrepreneurs to determine the achievement of their social mission and performance. However, there is a lack of existing social entrepreneurship models to predict social enterprises' social impacts. This paper aims to propose the social impact prediction model for social entrepreneurs using a data analytic approach.Design/methodology/approachThis study implemented an experimental method using three different algorithms: naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor and J48 decision tree algorithms to develop and test the social impact prediction model.FindingsThe accurate result of the developed social impact prediction model is based on the list of identified social impact prediction variables that have been evaluated by social entrepreneurship experts. Based on the three algorithms' implementation of the model, the results showed that naive Bayes is the best performance classifier for social impact prediction accuracy.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough there are three categories of social entrepreneurship impact, this research only focuses on social impact. There will be a bright future of social entrepreneurship if the research can focus on all three social entrepreneurship categories. Future research in this area could look beyond these three categories of social entrepreneurship, so the prediction of social impact will be broader. The prospective researcher also can look beyond the difference and similarities of economic, social impacts and environmental impacts and study the overall perspective on those impacts.Originality/valueThis paper fulfills the need for the Malaysian social entrepreneurship blueprint to design the social impact in social entrepreneurship. There are none of the prediction models that can be used in predicting social impact in Malaysia. This study also contributes to social entrepreneur researchers, as the new social impact prediction variables found can be used in predicting social impact in social entrepreneurship in the future, which may lead to the significance of the prediction performance.

PurposeIn the past few decades, traditional project management theories mainly focused on quality, cost and schedule. However, with larger scale and wider influence of infrastructure projects, especially in megaprojects, social problems have gradually become pressing issues in the field of project governance. As the public is the main body of society, public participation has attracted the attention from both the academic field and industry field. Despite people are gradually realizing the significance of public participation, a deeper and more systematic understanding is still needed to be developed in this field. Therefore, this paper aims to conduct a systematic literature review on public participation in infrastructure projects. Based on existing literatures, this paper draws a knowledge map and develops a research framework in this field. Also, this paper tries to provide some theoretical and practical directions for the future.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 142 papers from Web of Science Core collection were selected to be used in this systematic review. Quantitative analysis of this paper is concentrated on the knowledge map with bibliometric tools. Qualitative analysis is concentrated on identifying the research framework.FindingsThis paper reviewed existing literatures and the results are as below. Firstly, the results show a knowledge map containing knowledge domains, knowledge frontiers and knowledge evolution of research fields in public participation. Secondly, the results indicate a research framework in this field, including situational dimension, implementation dimension, individual dimension and influence dimension. Moreover, each dimension has several research topics, respectively. Finally, according to the results, the paper proposes practical suggestions for stakeholders and research directions for further study.Originality/valueIt is the first paper to draw a holistic knowledge map and build up a multilevel framework for public participation in the field of infrastructure projects. This paper bridges the gap in both quantitative and qualitative identification of existing literatures in this field. Besides, this paper proposes some practical suggestions and research directions for further study and development of public participation.

Whether acute medicine registrars should have the opportunity to acquire a procedural skill during their training has been the subject of considerable debate over recent years. The issue often dominates discussion amongst trainees and trainers alike at national meetings; exchanges are frequently heated and prolonged, highlighting the strength of feeling on all sides regarding the challenges which this creates. So the inclusion of three articles relating to this subject within this edition of Acute Medicine is not in any way disproportionate. In the past, much of the debate has centred on the concept of the ‘Sanity Session’ – the idea being that specialist acute physicians might need some clinical activity outside the acute arena to help prevent ‘burnout’. The three articles in this edition focus more specifi – cally on the issue of bedside investigation in the clinical setting. Many of us will recognise the scenario of the acutely unwell, hypotensive patient, for whom an urgent echocardiogram or ultrasound would enable great strides towards a diagnosis. Extracting a radiologist or cardiologist from their respective departments often requires a talent for negotiation of which a member of the Diplomatic Corps would be proud. Access to the equipment and possession of the necessary skills to undertake such procedures at the bedside would be a great asset for any Acute Medical Unit. While some units are undoubtedly already making great strides in this direction, this often results from the enthusiasm of individuals, many of whom have been trained in other specialities before moving to Acute Medicine. The statement from the British Society of Echocardiography on p95 should be viewed as an important step in identifying a level of training in which is feasible for trainees in acute medicine. The Royal College of Radiologists has also recently produced recommendations for training in ultrasound, which is described in detail by John Lorains; Mark Mallet also highlights some of the practical challenges which may arise in establishing an acute medical ultrasound service. Readers of this journal may note a slight change in the format, with fewer ‘commissioned’ review articles than in previous editions. The editorial team has been pleased to receive an increased number of unsolicited articles over recent months, which has facilitated this change. As the speciality continues to develop, a larger number of research-orientated papers are also beginning to fi lter through, which will be included over future editions. This increased number of submissions requires that a more rigorous review process is introduced. This will require an expanded team of editorial referees in the future. If any reader is interested in volunteering to help in this way, I would be grateful if you could email me at the address on this page, indicating your areas of interest and expertise. In addition any feedback from readers regarding the future format of the journal would be most welcome. I am also keen to establish a ‘correspondence’ section for future editions, so if any of the articles in this edition have raised your heckles, or reminded you of similar experiences which you wish to share, I would be delighted to receive these.
