Searching for health equity: validation of a search filter for ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in transport
ConclusionsThe validated search strategy derived in this study facilitates the conduct of systematic reviews and other literature searches investigating whether the effects of interventions differ by ethnicity or socio-economic status and may be further developed in future for other equity-focused searches and reviews.

Sara—the Search and Rescue Dog—and her Game of Fetch
Editor’s note: Jana Sweeny is the American Red Cross’s Director of International Communications. She and her team are traveling around Colombia this week, visiting communities made safer by the Red Cross.
As we walk into the Colombian Red Cross training center in Pereira, a yellow lab comes bouncing up, waving her tail enthusiastically. The ball in her mouth turns out to be a lime and she is ready to play fetch. Because I can never say no to a dog, I begin a game of “fetch the lime” with her.
It turns out that Sara isn’t just a fun companion–she is a retired search and rescue dog. The Colo...

Visual search for drowning swimmers: investigating the impact of lifeguarding experience - Laxton V, Crundall D, Guest D, Howard CJ.
How does domain expertise influence dynamic visual search? Previous studies of visual search often use abstract search arrays that are devoid of applied context, with comparatively few studies exploring applied naturalistic and dynamic settings. The curren...

Age-related interference from irrelevant distracters in visual feature search among heterogeneous distracters - Merrill EC, Conners FA.
We evaluated age-related variations in the influence of heterogeneous distracters during feature target. Participants in three age groups-6-year-old children, 9-year-old children, and young adults-completed three conditions of search. In a singleton search...

Comparing target detection errors in visual search and manually-assisted search - Solman GJ, Hickey K, Smilek D.
Subjects searched for low- or high-prevalence targets among static nonoverlapping items or items piled in heaps that could be moved using a computer mouse. We replicated the classical prevalence effect both in visual search and when unpacking items from he...

Culture moderates biases in search decisions - Pattaratanakun JA, Mak V.
Prior studies suggest that people often search insufficiently in sequential-search tasks compared with the predictions of benchmark optimal strategies that maximize expected payoff. However, those studies were mostly conducted in individualist Western cult...

I spy with my little eye: what visual search can tell us about how we see the world - Lewis AJ, Nemer IN, Hegd é J.
We have all have experienced the frustration of looking for something we want, only to find a seemingly endless series of things we do not want. This process of looking for an object of interest is called visual search. We perform visual search all the tim...

Inhibition of the immunoproteasome LMP2 ameliorates ischemia/hypoxia-induced blood –brain barrier injury through the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway
ConclusionThis study suggests that inhibition of the immunoproteasome LMP2 ameliorates ischemia/hypoxia-induced BBB injury, and that the molecular mechanism involves the immunoproteasome-regulated activation of the Wnt/ β-catenin signalling pathway under ischemic conditions.

Evolution of a Search: The Use of Dynamic Twitter Searches During Superstorm Sandy
Conclusion
The most important lesson learned from Superstorm Sandy was the need for a dynamic and flexible monitoring process and strategy to understand and respond quickly to health needs in the areas impacted by Superstorm Sandy. Search strategies should change as frequently as the unfolding event. The inability to adapt to a changing situation ensures stale and stagnant terminology and search results. Twitter lists and Boolean searches should be used together to maximize situational awareness. The most important information comes from the impacted population, whether news, local government or local citizens. These are t...

Interventions for Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Humanitarian Settings: A Protocol for a Systematic Review
The objective of the systematic review is to identify existing IPV prevention interventions, strategies and programs among refugee, internally displaced, or conflict-affected female in humanitarian settings; and to assess their effects. It will seek to answer the following questions:
What are the existing types of intervention for primary or secondary prevention of IPV against women in humanitarian settings?
What is the effect of various types of interventions on prevention or reduction of physical, sexual or emotional IPV in humanitarian settings?
How do various types of intervention related to IPV affect he...

The Race to Save Lives: Demonstrating the Use of Social Media for Search and Rescue Operations
Conclusions
Social media provides a standardized and familiar platform that can serve to create bridges, offering options for cooperation, coordination and collaboration in order to improve preparedness and response to emergencies. Utilizing social media in an emergency, as was well displayed during the exercise conducted in the present study, enabled to locate and evacuate casualties more rapidly and effectively. Thus, social media can contribute towards saving lives during a disaster. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the social media emergency exercise be further implemented and validated in other emergency scenarios...

Performance Assessment of Communicable Disease Surveillance in Disasters: A Systematic Review
Conclusion
Performance assessment is an integral component of the management of all organizations and the lack of performance assessment is considered a significant sign of weakness in an organization. Therefore, the lack of accepted mechanisms for the assessment of the performance of CDS systems in response to disasters is an important weakness. Although some studies attempted to assess surveillance systems, the results of this systematic literature review suggest that there is no clear and comprehensive assessment framework in place. While the CDC framework has been used in some studies, it is not specific for SS in resp...
