Beyond the Shelves: WestlawNext vs. Lexis Advance

WestlawNext and Lexis Advance — the new generation of legal research systems from Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis — have a new interface with a single search box like Google, a new search engine and other new features. While they share many similar new attributes, the two systems differ in several ways

Testing the functional basis of first impressions : Dimensions for children’s faces are not the same as for adults’ faces

Peer reviewedPostprin

Adults’ facial impressions of children’s niceness, but not shyness, show modest accuracy

Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the parents and children who helped make this research possible. We would also like to thank Romina Palermo for providing us the opportunity to contact her sample of parent and child participants, and to use some of her existing data. Finally, we would like to thank the examiners who provided thoughtful comments on an earlier draft of this paper presented in a thesis. JC, CS, LJ and GR conceived the study and edited the manuscript. JC programmed the experiment, collected undergraduate participant data, performed the statistical analyses, and drafted the first manuscript. EB coordinated image collection. All authors participated in the study design, and read and approved the final manuscript. Funding: This research was supported by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence Grant award to GR [CE110001021], ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award to CS [DE190101043], ARC Discovery Award to GR and CS [DP170104602], ARC Discovery Award to LJ [DP140101743] and a Research Training Program Stipend to JC.Peer reviewedPostprin

Evidence for a Kernel of Truth in Children’s Facial Impressions of Children’s Niceness, but not Shyness

Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the parents and children who helped make this research possible. We would like to thank Romina Palermo for providing us the opportunity to contact her sample of participants and to use some existing data. We also thank Lou Ewing for sharing the Zeb the Alien Scientist testing materials, and Saba Siddique for comments regarding a manuscript draft. Finally, we would like to thank Kaitlyn Turbett, Dielle Horne, Saba Siddique, Chloe Giffard, and Maira Vicente Braga, for help testing participants. JC, LJ, GR, and CS conceived the study and helped to draft and edit the manuscript. JC programmed the experiment, collected most participant data, performed the statistical analyses and drafted the first manuscript draft. EB coordinated image collection and testing schedules. All authors participated in the study design, and read, provided critical revisions and approved the final manuscript. The study methods, hypotheses and analyses were pre-registered(https://osf.io/kjtva/registrations).

Interventions for preventing oral mucositis for patients with cancer receiving treatment

Interventions for preventing oral mucositis for patients with cancer receiving treatmentTreatment for cancer (including bone marrow transplant) can cause oral mucositis (severe ulcers in the mouth). This painful condition can cause difficulties in eating, drinking and swallowing, and may also be associated with infections which may require the patient to stay longer in hospital. Different strategies are used to try and prevent this condition, and the review of trials found that some of these are effective. Two interventions, cryotherapy (ice chips) and keratinocyte growth factor (palifermin®) showed some benefit in preventing mucositis. Sucralfate is effective in reducing the severity of mucositis, and a further seven interventions, aloe vera, amifostine, intravenous glutamine, granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor (G‐CSF), honey, laser and antibiotic lozenges containing polymixin/tobramycin/amphotericin (PTA) showed weaker evidence of benefit. These were evaluated in patients with different types of cancer, undergoing different types of cancer treatment. Benefits may be restricted to the disease and treatment combinations evaluated
