Quality of online information on breast cancer treatment options
Offering breast cancer patients treatment choice has become a priority as the involvement of patients in the decision-making process is associated with improved physical and psychological outcomes. As the Internet is increasingly being used by patients as a source of medical information, it is important to evaluate the quality of information relating to breast cancer on the Internet. We analysed 200 websites returned by google.co.uk searching “breast cancer treatment options” in terms of their typology and treatment options described. These were related to standard measures of health information quality such as the JAMA score and the presence of quality certifications, as well as readability.
We found that health portals were of higher quality whilst commercial and professional websites were of poorer quality in terms of JAMA criteria. Overall, readability was higher than previously reported for other conditions, and Google ranked websites with better readability higher. Most websites discussed surgical and medical treatments. Few websites, with a large proportion being of commercial typology, discussed complementary and alternative medicine. Google ranked professional websites low whilst websites from non-profit organizations were promoted in the ranking

Seakeeping Of A 60 Gt Cast Nets Fishing Vessel At Muara Angke Fishing Port
Based on the provisions made by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), turning ability and zig-zag maneuvers are the main criteria for safety standards for every ship that will sail. This decree was made as an effort to improve sailing skills, especially for ship crew. Calculation of the turning ability of a ship is greatly influenced by the design of the ship\u27s hull and the design of the rudder that will be used on the ship. So the analysis of turning circles and zig-zag maneuvers is the main point that will be carried out in this research. The research was carried out on cast net vessels anchored at the Muara Angke fishing port with the vessel size taken being 60 GT. The standard provisions used in the analysis of turning ability and zig-zag maneuver are based on IMO MSC 137 (76) with the main size of the vessel used as the main research material is LOA=25.7 m, LPP =22.2 m, B=7 m, H=2.3 m, T=1.7 m. With the results obtained by the movement of the fishing vessel which meets standardization based on IMO MSC 137 (76) 2002, the turning circle maneuver has a Tactical Diameter of 46.07 m, with an Advanced value of 56.23 m, with a heading transfer value of 24.48 m, the zig-zag maneuver meets the IMO standard criteria stated for angels 10°/10° and 20°/20° do not exceed 30 second
Fake news or weak science? Visibility and characterization of anti-vaccine webpages returned by Google in different languages and countries
The 1998 Lancet paper by Wakefield et al , despite subsequent retraction and evidence indicating no causal link between vaccinations and autism, triggered significant parental concern. The aim of this study was to analyse the online information available on this topic.
Using localized versions of Google, we searched “autism vaccine” in English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin and Arabic and analyzed 200 websites for each search engine result page (SERP). A common feature was the newsworthiness of the topic, with news outlets representing 25-50% of the SERP, followed by unaffiliated websites (blogs, social media) that represented 27-41% and included most of the vaccine-negative websites. Between 12% and 24% of websites had a negative stance on vaccines, while most websites were pro-vaccine (43-70%). However, their ranking by Google varied. While in Google.com the first vaccine-negative website was the 43rd in the SERP, there was one vaccine-negative webpage in the top 10 websites in both the British and Australian localized versions and in French and two in Italian, Portuguese and Mandarin, suggesting that the information quality algorithm used by Google may work better in English. Many webpages mentioned celebrities in the context of the link between vaccines and autism, with Donald Trump most frequently. Few websites (1-5%) promoted complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) but 50-100% of these were also vaccine-negative suggesting that CAM users are more exposed to vaccine-negative information. This analysis highlights the need for monitoring the web for information impacting on vaccine uptake
