Abstract:
Abstract Increased funding of nanotechnology research in the USA at the turn of the millennium was paired with a legislative commitment to and a novel societal research policy for the responsible development of nanotechnology. Innovative policy discourses at the time suggested that such work could engage a variety of publics, stakeholders, and researchers to enhance the capacity of research systems to adapt and be responsive to societal values and concerns. This article reviews one of two federally funded social science research centers—the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University(CNS-ASU)—to assess the merits of this form of engaged social science research in which social science contributes not only to traditional knowledge production but also to the capacity of natural science and engineering researchers and research communities for greater reflexivity and responsiveness, ultimately producing more socially robust research systems.

Abstract:
107 Background: NCCN and the Institute of Medicine recommend distress screening for all cancer patients. Surveys have found that 20% to 47% of newly diagnosed and recurrent cancer patients experience significant levels of distress. Less than half of distressed patients with cancer are actually identified and referred for psychosocial help. The development of screening tools, processes, appropriate timing, and systems for follow up on concerns is an ongoing challenge for many cancer programs. Mountain States Tumor Institute p,iloted a distress screen process as part of our work with NCCCP. Methods: From October 24, 2011, to April 30, 2012, 133 patients completed distress screens. Most frequently reported concerns included fatigue (50%), sleep changes (32%), and anxiety/worry (31%). 51% of patients reported three or more concerns. 90% of all patients reporting anxiety also reported fatigue or sleep problems. All patients who reported concerns were offered social work and other supports. Screens were reviewed by social workers and discussed at weekly multidisciplinary psychosocial care rounds by social workers, psychiatrist, nurse practitioners, and chaplains. A variety of interventions were used to respond to distress including symptom management, education and referrals to on-site social workers, chaplains, supportive care clinic, integrative medicine and psychiatry. Results: A task was created in Mosaiq Electronic Medical Record to cue Health Information Specialists to schedule patients for distress screening as close as possible to 45 days from first chemotherapy treatment. Patients completed screens before seeing their medical provider. The majority of patients screened received one or more interventions in follow-up. Conclusions: EMRs can be effective tools to cue scheduled screening of patient distress. The use of multidisciplinary psychosocial care rounds can effectively help clinics plan interventions to alleviate patient distress. The use of rounds can ensure staff from different disciplines are not duplicating efforts and can help determine appropriate timing of various psychosocial interventions.

Abstract:
Social inclusion is a goal of 21st-century education and social welfare, yet research with violently displaced youth leaves gaps in its meaning. Social inclusion, a societal aim, lacks the perspectives of youth at its center. Given the pressures and power relations involved in learning how young people think and feel about social injustices and the support they need, developmental researchers must find innovative ways to study youth experiences and intentions in relation to environments, especially environments that threaten young lives. Emerging research highlights how displaced youth, peers along their journeys, and adults guiding supportive interventions make audible the meaning of social inclusion. Policy paradigms would benefit from research on sense-making in interventions rather than from emphasizing behavioral assessments and assimilation to local norms, as implied by social inclusion.

Abstract:
This paper analyses how a group of researchers from different disciplines has been able to form creative collaborative spaces to model life together. Making mathematical models of life is a new way of creating biological knowledge – called systems biology – that ultimately aims to revolutionise medicine, by making it more effective through personalisation. By conceptualizing this interdisciplinary effort to create a new research field as a Scientific/Intellectual Movement, I analyse the entanglement of epistemic and social transformations, discussing how systems biology moved from the periphery towards the center of biology. Thereby, I am turning the focus on the spatial dimensions of Scientific/Intellectual Movements. More specifically, I introduce a topological approach detailing three interrelated spatial movements: aggregation, circulation and oscillation that together constitute the choreography of systems biology. They show how some strong, dispersed, local centers have effectively raised funds to build human capacity, organisations and infrastructures, while creating international networks. Through interaction with science policy makers, a global circulation of policies took place, stimulating the building of collaborative centers for systems biology, while the ending of funding programmes is now causing fragmentation again. As such, this paper argues that the choreography of systems biology as a Scientific/Intellectual Movement exemplifies how spatial (re-)configurations are fundamental to transformations in the knowledge landscape and the institutionalization of creativity.

Abstract:
In the United States, community coalitions are an important part of the public health milieu, and thus, subject to many of the same external pressures as other organizations—including changes in required strategic orientation. Many funding agencies have shifted their funding agenda from program development to policy change. Thus, the Florida Prevention Research Center created the Community-Based Prevention Marketing (CBPM) for Policy Development framework to teach community coalitions how to apply social marketing to policy change. The research reported here was designed to explicate the framework’s theory of change. We describe and demonstrate a hybrid evaluation approach: utilization-focused developmental evaluation. The research question was “What are the linkages and connections among CBPM inputs, activities, immediate outcomes, intermediate outcomes, and ultimate impacts?” We implemented a case study design, with the case being a normative community coalition. The study adhered to a well-developed series of steps for system dynamics modeling. Community coalition leaders may expect CBPM to provide immediate gains in coalition performance. Results from causal diagramming show how gains in performance are delayed and follow an initial decline in performance. We discuss the practical implications for CBPM’s developers—for example, importance of managing coalition expectations—and other social marketers—for example, expansion of the evaluation toolkit.

Abstract:
Sustainable development means the ability of an object to maintain the required level of environmental, social and economic indicators while meeting the needs of not only the living, but also future generations. These standards suggest using a uniform estimated figure that considers economic, environmental and social indicators. Design with resource-saving technologies has become an important part of the developed Terms of Reference for the project, and environmental friendliness has become a key element of the business center marketing strategy. The research is aimed at developing a business center construction project as a sustainable development model. The research results are the following tasks: to perform calculations on the total cost of the building’s life cycle; perform the project economic efficiency assessment; consider technical solutions for power consumption systems, building heat supply and water consumption systems; analyze the sustainability of the project environment; identify the risk levels for the business center construction project development. The research itself develops a concept for the project implementation, project risk analysis was carried out, the categories for assessing the environmental sustainability were compared with possible technical solutions of the project construction. There were also considered technical characteristics on internal and external lighting, heat supply of the building, water treatment and re-use, and energy-efficient elevators. The conducted risk assessment revealed a low cumulative risk of this construction project development. With the factored level of incomes and expenses, the project can be recognized as efficient. Further research matters can be issues of a detailed study at the level of a comprehensive ESG risk assessment of contemporary construction companies.

Abstract:
The project aims at exploring the process of designing recommender systems from a users’ perspective. Recommendations are the systems that can help users navigate in the overload of information, that is currently available online. This project focuses on the recommender network of Strossle, which provides article recommendations across various publishers’ websites. User-centered research has been performed to understand the current system and how that influences the users’ perceived experience. The goal was to develop a more engaging content experience for the Strossle recommendation system. This is done by means of participatory design methods. As people tend to use recommendations very sporadic and they often do not really know what they are looking for. The emphasis was on finding the balance between exploratory browsing and navigating towards the users’ preferences. In order to achieve this, a more dynamic widget has been developed that offers navigation in various related topics.

In the study of queueing systems, a question of significant current interest is that of large scale behavior, where the size of the system increases without bound. This regime has becoming increasingly relevant with the rise of massive distributed systems like server farms, call centers, and health care management systems. To minimize underutilization of resources, the specific large scale regime of most interest is one in which the work to be done increases as processing capability increases. In this thesis, we characterize the behavior of two such large scale queueing systems. In the first part of the thesis we consider a Join the Shortest Queue (JSQ) policy in the so-called Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. We establish that a scaled process counting the number of idle servers and queues of length two weakly converges to a two-dimensional reflected Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, while processes counting longer queues converge to a deterministic system decaying to zero in constant time. This limiting system is similar to that of the traditional Halfin-Whitt model in its basic performance measures, but there are key differences in the queueing behavior of the JSQ model. In particular, only a vanishing fraction of customers will have to wait, but those who do will incur a constant order waiting time. In the second part of the thesis we consider a widely studied so-called "supermarket model" in which arriving customers join the shortest of d randomly selected queues. Assuming rate n[lambda]n Poisson arrivals and rate 1 exponentially distributed service times, our heavy traffic regime is described by [lambda]n 1 as n --> [infinity]. We give a simple expectation argument establishing that queues have steady state length at least i* = logd 1/1-[lambda]n with probability approaching one as n [infinity] 8. Our main result for this system concerns the detailed behavior of queues with length smaller than i*. Assuming [lambda]n converges to 1 at rate at most [square root of]n, we show that the dynamics of such queues does not follow a diffusion process, as is typical for queueing systems in heavy traffic, but is described instead by a deterministic infinite system of linear differential equations, after an appropriate rescaling.

Parallel server queues are a family of stochastic models useful in a variety of applications, including service systems and telecommunication networks. A particular application that has received considerable attention in recent years is the analysis of call centers. A feature common to these models is the notion of the 'trade-off' between quality and efficiency. It is known that if the underlying system parameters scale together according to a certain 'square-root scaling law', then this trade-off can be precisely quantified, in which case the queue is said to be in the Halfin-Whitt regime. A common approach to understanding this trade-off involves restricting one's models to have exponentially distributed call lengths, and restricting one's analysis to the steady-state behavior of the system. However, these are considered shortcomings of much work in the area. Although several recent works have moved beyond these assumptions, many open questions remain, especially w.r.t. the interplay between the transient and steady-state properties of the relevant models. These questions are the primary focus of this thesis. In the first part of this thesis, we prove several results about the rate of convergence to steady-state for the A/M/rn queue, i.e. n-server queue with exponentially distributed inter-arrival and processing times, in the Halfini-Whitt regime. We identify the limiting rate of convergence to steady-state, discover an asymptotic phase transition that occurs w.r.t. this rate, and prove explicit bounds on the distance to stationarity. The results of the first part of this thesis represent an important step towards understanding how to incorporate transient effects into the analysis of parallel server queues. In the second part of this thesis, we prove several results regarding the steadystate G/G/n queue, i.e. n-server queue with generally distributed inter-arrival and processing times, in the Halfin-Whitt regime. We first prove that under minor technical conditions, the steady-state number of jobs waiting in queue scales like the square root of the number of servers. We then establish bounds for the large deviations behavior of this model, partially resolving a conjecture made by Gamarnik and Momcilovic in [431. We also derive bounds for a related process studied by Reed in [91]. We then derive the first qualitative insights into the steady-state probability that an arriving job must wait for service in the Halfin-Whitt regime, for generally distributed processing times. We partially characterize the behavior of this probability when a certain excess parameter B approaches either 0 or oo. We conclude by studying the large deviations of the number of idle servers, proving that this random variable has a Gaussian-like tail. We prove our main results by combining tools from the theory of stochastic comparison [99] with the theory of heavy-traffic approximations [113]. We compare the system of interest to a 'modified' queue, in which all servers are kept busy at all times by adding artificial arrivals whenever a server would otherwise go idle, and certain servers can permanently break down. We then analyze the modified system using heavy-traffic approximations. The proven bounds hold for all n, have representations as the suprema of certain natural processes, and may prove useful in a variety of settings. The results of the second part of this thesis enhance our understanding of how parallel server queues behave in heavy traffic, when processing times are generally distributed.

The online market has expanded tremendously over the past two decades across all industries ranging from retail to travel. This trend has resulted in the growing availability of information regarding consumer preferences and purchase behavior, sparking the development of increasingly more sophisticated product recommendation systems. Thus, a competitive edge in this rapidly growing sector could be worth up to millions of dollars in revenue for an online seller. Motivated by this increasingly prevalent problem, we propose an innovative model that selects, prices and recommends a personalized bundle of products to an online consumer. This model captures the trade-off between myopic profit maximization and inventory management, while selecting relevant products from consumer preferences. We develop two classes of approximation algorithms that run efficiently in real-time and provide analytical guarantees on their performance. We present practical applications through two case studies using: (i) point-of-sale transaction data from a large U.S. e-tailer, and, (ii) ticket transaction data from a premier global airline. The results demonstrate that our approaches result in significant improvements on the order of 3-7% lifts in expected revenue over current industry practices. We then extend this model to the setting in which consumer demand is subject to uncertainty. We address this challenge using dynamic learning and then improve upon it with robust optimization. We first frame our learning model as a contextual nonlinear multi-armed bandit problem and develop an approximation algorithm to solve it in real-time. We provide analytical guarantees on the asymptotic behavior of this algorithm's regret, showing that with high probability it is on the order of O([square root of] T). Our computational studies demonstrate this algorithm's tractability across various numbers of products, consumer features, and demand functions, and illustrate how it significantly out performs benchmark strategies. Given that demand estimates inherently contain error, we next consider a robust optimization approach under row-wise demand uncertainty. We define the robust counterparts under both polynomial and ellipsoidal uncertainty sets. Computational analysis shows that robust optimization is critical in highly constrained inventory settings, however the price of robustness drastically grows as a result of pricing strategies if the level of conservatism is too high.

Maintenance scheduling is an integral part of many complex systems. For instance, without effective maintenance scheduling, the combined effects of preventative and corrective maintenance can have severe impacts on the availability of those systems. Based on current Air Force trends including maintenance manpower, dispersed aircraft basing, and increased complexity, there has been a renewed focus on preventative maintenance. To address these concerns, this thesis develops two models for preventative maintenance scheduling for complex systems, the first of interest in the system concept development and design phase, and the second of interest during operations. Both models are highly complex and intractable to solve in their original forms. For the first model, we develop approximation algorithms that yield high quality and easily implementable solutions. To address the second model, we propose a decomposition strategy that produces submodels that can be solved via existing algorithms or via specialized algorithms we develop. While much of the literature has examined stochastically failing systems, preventative maintenance of usage limited systems has received less attention. Of particular interest is the design of modular systems whose components must be repaired/replaced to prevent a failure. By making cost tradeoffs early in development, program managers, designers, engineers, and test conductors can better balance the up front costs associated with system design and testing with the long term cost of maintenance. To facilitate such a tradeoff, the Modular Maintenance Scheduling Problem provides a framework for design teams to evaluate different design and operations concepts and then evaluate the long term costs. While the general Modular Maintenance Scheduling Problem does not require maintenance schedules with specific structure, operational considerations push us to consider cyclic schedules in which components are maintained at a fixed frequency. In order to efficiently find cyclic schedules, we propose the Cycle Rounding algorithm, which has an approximation guarantee of 2, and a family of Shifted Power-of-Two algorithms, which have an approximation guarantee of 1/ ln(2) ~ 1.4427. Computational results indicate that both algorithms perform much better than their associated performance guarantees providing solutions within 15%-25% of a lower bound. Once a modular system has moved into operations, manpower and transportation scheduling become important considerations when developing maintenance schedules. To address the operations phase, we develop the Modular Maintenance and System Assembly Model to balance the tradeoffs between inventory, maintenance capacity, and transportation resources. This model explicitly captures the risk-pooling effects of a central repair facility while also modeling the interaction between repair actions at such a facility. The full model is intractable for all but the smallest instances. Accordingly, we decompose the problem into two parts, the system assembly portion and module repair portion. Finally, we tie together the Modular Maintenance and System Assembly Model with key concepts from the Modular Maintenance Scheduling Problem to propose an integrated methodology for design and operation.

Our work is motivated by real-world planning challenges faced by a manufacturer of industrial products. In the first part of the thesis, we study a multi-product serial-flow production line that operates in a low-volume, long lead-time environment. The objective is to minimize variable operating costs, in the face of forecast uncertainty, raw material arrival uncertainty and in-process failure. We develop a dynamic-programming-based tactical model to capture the key uncertainties and trade-offs, and to determine the minimum-cost operating tactics. The tactics include smoothing production to reduce production-related costs, and segmenting the serial-flow line with decoupling buffers to protect against variance propagation. For each segment, we specify a work release policy and a production control policy to manage the work-in-process inventory within the segment and to maintain the inventory targets in the downstream buffer. We also optimize the raw material ordering policy with fixed ordering times, long lead-times and staggered deliveries. In the second part of the thesis, we examine a multi-product assembly system that operates in a high-volume, short lead- time environment. The operating tactics used here include determining a fixed-length cyclic schedule to control production, in addition to smoothing production and segmenting the system with decoupling buffers. We develop another dynamic-programming-based tactical model that determines optimal policies for production planning and scheduling, inventory, and raw material ordering; these policies minimize the operating cost for the system in the face of forecast and raw material arrival uncertainty. We tested these models on both hypothetical and actual factory scenarios. The results confirmed our intuition and also helped develop new managerial insights on the application of these operating tactics. Moreover, the tactical model's factory performance predictions were found to be within 10% of simulation results for the testbed systems, thus validating the models.

We consider a single product multistage serial inventory system with several installations, say N - I, ... , l. Installation N - I intakes exogenous supply of a single commodity. For i E {I, ... N - 2}, installation i is supplied by shipments from installation i + 1. Demands for the finished good occur at installation l. Demands that cannot be filled immediately are backlogged. We assume holding costs at each installation which are linear functions of inventory, as well as a constant cost for each unit of backlogged demand, per period. Clark and Scarf {1960) showed that over a finite horizon an echelon basestock policy is optimal. Federgruen and Zipkin (1984) extend their result to the infinite-horizon case for both discounted and average costs. We present a new approach to this multistage serial inventory management problem, and give new proofs of these results by introducing and solving a simple Travel Time problem, using Dynamic Programming. This approach is motivated by the fact that the exact cost-to-go function of the related Travel Time problem can be easily computed using a straightforward recursive procedure (instead of using the typical value iteration or policy iteration methods). Moreover, this cost-to-go function gives various insights useful for a group of more complex multistage inventory problems. In this regard, we discuss how this cost-to-go function can be used to develop good Approximate Dynamic Programming algorithms for a number of complex multistage serial inventory problems. The results obtained suggest that the idea of introducing a related "Travel Time" problem and our algorithm to solve this problem can be used as a building block of a new approach to solve large scale multistage inventory management problems. This thesis was part of a research effort to find a fast algorithm to get very good robust suboptimal solutions to large scale multistage inventory management problems.

Abstract:
Abstract In recent years, Latvia has established itself as one of the top two countries with the most intensive emigration among EU/EFTA member states. This chapter starts by describing the demographic context and the scale of emigration post-2000, followed by a brief history of the main population flows (migration, refugees and deportation) from and to Latvia in the twentieth century. It then offers a more detailed analysis of emigration during the first 15 years of the twenty-first century including a closer look at the four waves of recent emigration: (i) the pre-EU accession wave, 2000–2003; (ii) the post-accession wave, 2004–2008; (iii) the crisis-driven wave, 2009–2010; and (iv) the post-crisis wave, 2011–2016. For each wave, description of the economic and social context is given within a conceptual framework using insights from human capital theory, the new economic theory of migration, network theory and migration systems theory. Institutional factors are also emphasised. Together with some survey-based evidence, this leads to a set of hypotheses about the nature of the four emigration waves. Our own compilation of data from receiving countries (which reveals problems with Latvia’s official migration statistics) is used for documenting the dynamics of the scale and main destinations of this emigration. Empirical analysis of the changes in the reasons for and intended duration of emigration, its effects on the structure and demographic potential of the population and changes in emigrant profiles and selectivity with respect to human capital and ethnicity is based on a number of independent data sources, including the Latvian Labour Force Survey (2000–2015), the Database of Immigrants in OECD Countries (DIOC 2010/2011), and The Emigrant Communities of Latvia survey conducted worldwide in 2014.

Abstract:
Multidisciplinary integrations: history, survey and representations of the castle of Palmariggi in Terra d’OtrantoThe contribution integrates historical readings, conducted through archive documents and iconographic materials, with surveys and graphical analyzes carried out through direct knowledge of Palmariggi’s historic center in Salento. The imposing Aragonese castle of which today only the two cylindrical towers remain, joined together by a stretch of perimeter masonry, initially presented a quadrangular plan with four corner towers, of which three are cylindrical and one is square and was surrounded by an existing moat, until the middle of the twentieth century, with a wooden drawbridge on the eastern side. The fortress was part of a strategic defensive system, designed to protect the village and the productive Otranto’s land with which it was related. The fortified Palmeriggi’s center represented an important defensive bulwark placed within the network of routes and agricultural activities that led from the hinterland to the port of Otranto, where flourishing trade took place. The research examines the changes undergone by the defensive structure that has had several adaptations made initially in relation to changing military requirements, resulting from the use of firearms, the upgrades that were supposed to curb the repeated looting and the military reprisals against the inhabited coastal and inland centers of Salento peninsula, and later social that led to the expansion of fortified village with Palazzo Vernazza’s (eighteenth century) adjacent construction and the original parade ground’s elimination. Summing up, the contribution in addition to documenting the current situation with integrated surveys, the state of preservation of fortified structure with its village, of which it examines the urban evolution based on the construction, typological and morphological systems, relates to the surrounding territory by comparing the plant of the ancient nucleus with that of neighboring fortified Salento’s centers. Finally, digital study models allow fortified structure’s three-dimensional analysis, its construction techniques, assuming the original shape.

Full text
Abstract:
The predecessors of this research project were the efforts to classify the Information Systems (IS) research along paradigmatic lines. While the paradigmatic classifications are very useful philosophically, examination of an issue such as the use of Information Systems and the related socioorganizational issues require a classification that is centered around the social phenomenon of the use and effects of IS. Our approach to the categorization of the body of knowledge captured in the existing Information Systems literature can make the contributions to the use side of Information Systems more explicit. The new twist of this approach is that it provide an integrative perspectives on IS use by seeking to bridge the most prevalent divides currently fragmenting the IS literature. We call our proposal for a new approach to literature classification “substance oriented”, because it follows neither the latest paradigmatic classification nor earlier bottom up citation or key word based literature classification schemes. Instead it explicitly builds on social theory concepts directly relevant for the “user-domain” and is in this sense “substance-oriented”, at least at its highest level. In its current version, the paper identifies the core concepts of Gidden’s Structuration Theory (ST) as being relatively most suited for capturing user concerns in the existing archival body of IS research publications.

Abstract:
This study aims at research and development of the intelligent seismic isolation system using air bearings as isolation device and Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) as trigger of isolation system. In October 2007, EEW was started providing to resident of Japan. The EEW system expects earthquake intensity and arrival time at particular place by analysis of seismic wave that was observed near the earthquake center. Therefore social and technical application of the system is strongly expected for suppression of disaster scale. On the other hand, long period seismic waves having predominant period of from a few seconds to a few ten seconds have recently been observed in various earthquakes. Also resonances of high-rise buildings and sloshing of petroleum tanks in consequence of long period seismic waves have been reported. In metropolises of Japan such as Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, it is expected that long period seismic waves are excited in large earthquakes because these are located on sedimentary layers. Therefore the isolation system having very long natural period or no natural period is required. In this study, we propose an isolation system having no natural period by using air bearing as isolation device. Air bearing is a bearing that can reduce contact friction between floor and the bearing by thin air film produced by compressed air. In general, the air bearing is used as heavy machinery moving equipment. The approximate friction coefficient is 0.0005 to 0.001, so that the system using air bearing almost isolates seismic wave. In addition, the EEW is applied as trigger of isolation. The EEW is applied for turning gas and electrical heater off, too. P-wave sensor is also equipped and it can operate as trigger in case of near-field earthquake or when EEW system could not work properly. Furthermore, steel plate equipped at the bottom of the air bearing can operate as friction bearing when air bearing does not work. In this paper, we describe results of earthquake response analysis of the intelligent isolation system using air bearing. From results of the analysis, it was confirmed that response acceleration depends on friction coefficient only, and the system has good isolation performance not only against typical seismic wave, such as El Centro wave, but also against long period seismic wave. However residual displacement remains after seismic input stopped. Additionally, experimental test was executed so as to investigate basic performance of isolation. As a result, it was confirmed that the isolation system has good isolation performance.

Abstract:
Cancer survivors have unique physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health needs. These can include symptoms and side effects associated with cancer and cancer treatment, such as pain, cognitive dysfunction, insomnia, and elevated anxiety and depression. This research brief summarizes a landscape review done for the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to develop a clear, comprehensive understanding of the state of research as of the mid-2000s. We conducted a targeted search strategy to identify projects funded by federal and commercial sources and the American Cancer Society (ACS) in addition to identifying funding opportunities released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We conducted additional review to identify studies focused on symptom and side-effect measures and five priority topic areas (selected by PCORI prior to the review) in the following five databases (from January 2005- through September 2015) with an inclusion criteria in an adapted PICOTS framework (populations, interventions, comparators, outcomes, time frames, and settings). We identified 692 unduplicated studies (1/2005 to 9/2015) and retained 189 studies about cancer symptom and side-effect management. Of these studies, NIH funded 40% and the ACS 33%. Academic institutions, health care systems, other government agencies, and private foundations or industry supported the remainder. We identified critical gaps in the knowledge base pertaining to populations, interventions, comparators (when those are relevant for comparative effectiveness reviews), and outcomes. We also discovered gaps in cross-cutting topics, particularly for patient decision-making studies, patient self-management of cancer symptoms and side effects, and coordinated care.
