In the campaign to implement evidence-based practice, the current single-hierarchy model of levels of evidence fails to incorporate at parity all types of research evidence that are valuable in the practice of occupational therapy. A new model, originally developed by Borgetto et al. (2007) and...
In the digital age, not only has the scope of indicator monitoring expanded but also the indicators themselves have become increasingly multilevel. Theoretically, the greater the number of levels, the more uncertainty there is in the indicators’ weights. This necessitates the evaluation of the rob...
Systematic reviews (SRs) are at the pinnacle of the evidence pyramid – also known as the hierarchy/levels of the scientific evidence. SRs are capable of addressing any type of question[9]. Formulating a suitable question considering the type of evidence to review helps the researchers obtain th...
The term circular bioeconomy was introduced by the European Commission, which defines it as: “the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value-added products such as food, feed, bio-based products, and bioenergy. Sustainability and ...
By employing a retrospective collaborative autoethnographic approach, this work aims to better understand how an interdisciplinary context shaped the authors’ experiences of British academia during their Ph.D research. The authors bring together their i
Pandemic-related uncertainties and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) could negatively affect physicians’ well-being and functioning, being associated with experiences of distress and problematic decision-making processes. To summarize the available quantitative and qualitative evidence of physicians’ IU and de...

• Testing is complete and reflective of true system risks; • Test evidence is supportive of test results/conclusions and/or does not raise “red flags”; • Reviews are timely and reasonable (e.g., only a realistic number of detailed test scripts should be reviewed in one day); ...
The agri-food industry is increasingly recognizing the environmental impact of the over-exploitation of natural resources and waste production, which has p
What counts as ‘evidence’? Within the culture and ideology of evidence-based medicine, there is a hierarchy of evidence in which different research methods are ranked according to the validity of their findings [7]. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses of the results of high-quality randomised...
