الحمد لله، تم قبول نشر أول ورقة علمية من بحث الدكتوراه في مجلة BMJ Open بعنوان "Theories, models and frameworks to understand barriers to the provision of mobility assistive technologies: a scoping review". عملية استغرقت ٨ أشهر، توجت بالنشر الحمد لله تهدف الدراسة لتوليف النظريات والأطر وفهم محددات الوصول للتكنولوجيا المساعدة للأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة، وعمل نموذج قائم على الأدلة العلمية. يمكن أن يكون هذا النموذج بمثابة أهداف للعمل المستقبلي لتحسين التوفير والاستدامة. https://lnkd.in/dbQu97d8 . My first scientific paper from my PhD research has been published in BMJ Open. Titled "Theories, models and frameworks to understand barriers to the provision of mobility assistive technologies: a scoping review." The study aims to synthesise models, theories, and frameworks to understand the determinants of access to mobility assistive technologies. Our synthetic model describes the logic of providing evidence-based mobility-assistive technologies, and we identify the determinants of access that can act as targets for future work to improve the provision of mobility-assistive technologies. #rehabilitation #assistivetechnology #occupationaltherapy

💡 The European Commission is conducting a study exploring the role of copyright in facilitating access to digital collections of public interest institutions, such as libraries, archives, museums, educational establishments, and research organisations, specifically for distance education and research purposes. The results of this study will directly inform policy-making and will thus be very valuable! 👉 If you want to share your perspectives on behalf of a cultural heritage institution (e.g. library, museum, archive), educational institution (e.g. school, university), or research institution (e.g. think-tank, research institute), please use this link: https://lnkd.in/e-XcJidG 👉 If you want to share your perspectives as an individual – teacher, educator, lecturer, student, researcher, or patron of a library, museum or archive – please use this link: https://lnkd.in/egQs_p8t

This is the first World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Toolkit on Preservation for Cultural Heritage Institutions – Libraries, Archives, and Museums. The manual is meant to help one of the main missions of cultural heritage institutions, which is to preserve the treasures and records entrusted to their care. With the advent of the digital age, new means are available to keep the memory of the original. This process may intersect with copyright. The international legal framework integrated this dimension from the very beginning in the foundational copyright and related rights treaties. Climate change has amplified the long-standing threats to collections and there is now a need to address these threats in an efficient but also in a pragmatic way to support cultural institutions in their mission to stewart collections. The ultimate objective is to empower and create a safe and secure environment for cultural heritage professionals to carry out their mission. Remember that again, in this field, there is no one-size-fits-all! More useful toolkits are in the pipeline! https://lnkd.in/dwiqBjE4

Quelles sont les valeurs clés à analyser pour optimiser son site web pour une institution culturelle ? Substrakt vient de sortir un benchmark sur les performances des sites culturels pour répondre à cette question ! 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚̀ 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐫 : • 76 sites web analysés en 2023 : d’institutions d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord, du secteur culturel (théâtres, musées, patrimoine, opéra, compagnies de danse, etc) ; • Les utilisateurs visitent principalement les sites avec leurs mobiles ; • Le trafic provient à 43,7% des résultats naturels issus des moteurs de recherche ; • La page d’accueil n’est pas toujours la première page visitée par les utilisateurs : elle l’est pour les petites institutions, mais beaucoup moins pour les grandes (où les visiteurs arrivent le plus souvent sur des pages d’événements ou d'autres pages) ; • Une analyse sur les taux de conversion, les donations, les achats en ligne, les adhésions… avec des cas d’études pour en tirer des bonnes pratiques ! Bonne lecture !

⚠ Clumsy copy for scientific cover artwork 2 years ago we created the cover art for Mojtaba Abdi-Jalebi's lab which the subject was related to perovskite structures and the cover was published in February 2023. Unbelievably, we understood in May 2024 the cover of Energy Advances was published with a clumsy copy. Although, it is routine in art to catch ideas from other artists and artworks, following some principles shouldn't be overlooked. Usually, the authors and designers sign the journal copyright form, but they should consider if they don't follow the copyright, it will endanger their reputation in scientific society. The case of the Energy Advances cover art from May 2024 serves as a reminder that even unintentional similarities can lead to questions of originality. You can see the brainstorming and the design process video of this cover in the link below: https://lnkd.in/d6GWufM9
