Objective This study aims to systematically analyze the current applications, research trends, and challenges of digital twin technology in tumor therapy, while exploring future directions.
Methods Relevant literature up to 2024 was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and other databases. Data visualization was performed using R and VOSviewer software.

Results Since 2020, research on digital twin technology in oncology has surged, with significant contributions from the United States, Germany, Switzerland, and China. Funding primarily comes from government agencies, particularly the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. Sample size analysis reveals that large-sample studies have greater clinical reliability, while small-sample studies emphasize technology validation. In data processing and artificial intelligence applications, the integration of medical imaging, multi-omics data, and AI algorithms is key. By combining multimodal data integration with dynamic modeling, the accuracy of digital twin models has been significantly improved.
However, the integration of different data types still faces challenges related to tool interoperability and limited standardization. Specific applications of digital twin technology have shown significant advantages in diagnosis, treatment
decision-making, prognosis prediction, and surgical planning.
Conclusion Digital twin technology holds substantial promise in tumor therapy by optimizing personalized treatment plans through integrated multimodal data and dynamic modeling. However, the study is limited by factors such as language restrictions, potential selection bias, and the relatively small number of published studies in this emerging field, which may affect the comprehensiveness and generalizability of our findings. Moreover, issues related to data heterogeneity, technical integration, and data privacy and ethics continue to impede its broader clinical application. Future research should promote international collaboration, establish unified interdisciplinary standards, and strengthen ethical regulations to accelerate the clinical translation of digital twin technology in cancer treatment.},

abstract = {This thesis explores the political use of history relating to environmental issues. Anchored in political science, it mobilises environmental history and strategic analysis of environmental management. Its objective is to understand how the reference to the past is used by different actors involved in environmental policies to make their voices heard in argumentative struggles.
The thesis first examines how scientists use history in relation to environmental policies. An exploratory literature review reveals that the use of history is not limited to historians. It is also found in approaches based on political ecology, which aim to build narratives considering the oppressed, and in approaches that examine the functioning of socio-ecological systems through contributions from historical ecology.
This analysis is supplemented by a qualitative survey of French-speaking historians working on environmental issues to explore their relationship with public action. It identifies four typical interaction situations between history and public action, in which historians play different roles: producing knowledge for society, stimulating new thoughts, cooperating to mutually enrich public action and research, and responding to commissions to inform public action.
Scientists in social sciences and ecology are far from the only ones to make the past a political resource.
Engineers, who dominate the process of river management and use, also refer to the past to defend progress and legitimize their actions. An in-depth study of the journal "La Houille Blanche" led to the development of a methodology to identify scattered references to the past in a scientific and technical journal without disconnecting them from their context of enunciation. The analysis of the 220 historically significant articles helped characterize different archetypes of reference to the past in this journal.
The past also serves as a political resource for various coalitions of actors advocating for the recognition of rivers as living ecosystems. Ecologists use the past heuristically as a counterfactual to human action to better anticipate the potential of ecological restoration. Other actors highlight an idealized heritage vision of managed rivers to oppose their restoration.
In response to this political use of the past in argumentative struggles over ecological restoration, an intervention research was conducted in collaboration with the Haut-Rhône Syndicate. Based on a strategic diagnosis of the management situation and the associated stakeholders’ dynamics, the intervention shed light on the various existing public policy narratives about the Rhône. On this basis, a pluralistic narrative was developed and visualized to represent the different voices at play, contributing to a rebalancing of power relations in the territory.
The thesis highlights the tension between the instrumental use of history, employed as a tool for specific objectives, and the historical method, which emphasizes rigorous source critique and narrative plurality.
It asserts that such a method, when strategically mobilized, can become a powerful resource to legitimize actors engaged in ecological restoration. This thesis, conducted in partnership with field actors, demonstrates the relevance and effectiveness of mobilizing history as a political resource, while calling for continuous reflection on the methods and objectives of this mobilization.},

Introduction: The Koomesh Journal, a pioneering and influential medical research publication in Iran, has been active since 2006. This study aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the journal's publication structure from 2006 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with a bibliometric approach. The study population consists of 1238 documents published in the Koomesh Journal. The bibliographic data of these documents were extracted from the Scopus database, and various bibliometric techniques and tools, such as Excel 365, SPSS 26, VOS Viewer, CorTex, and Biblioshiny, were extracted to examine trends and significant topics such as the journal's publication and citation structure, highly cited articles, authors, institutions, and countries.
Results: Koomesh experienced fluctuations in productivity and impact before declining. Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Iran were the institutions and countries with the highest participation rates, respectively. Raheb Ghorbani emerged as the most influential and prolific author. The article "Estimation of natural age of menopause in Iranian women: A meta-analysis study" received the most citations. A considerable degree of co-authorship existed among the journal's top authors, with the most collaboration occurring between Iran and Sweden and, in terms of cities, Tehran and Semnan. The terms Iran, sports, and anxiety were the most prevalent and significant. The most discussion was on precision medicine and COVID-19.
Conclusion: This study has provided an overview of the publication structure of Koomesh Journal during the years 2006 to 2022. This study may be useful for the editorial board of the journal, because it provides numerous and useful information for the progress and continuation of the work.},

Introduction: The Koomesh Journal, a pioneering and influential medical research publication in Iran, has been active since 2006. This study aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the journal's publication structure from 2006 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with a bibliometric approach. The study population consists of 1238 documents published in the Koomesh Journal. The bibliographic data of these documents were extracted from the Scopus database, and various bibliometric techniques and tools, such as Excel 365, SPSS 26, VOS Viewer, CorTex, and Biblioshiny, were extracted to examine trends and significant topics such as the journal's publication and citation structure, highly cited articles, authors, institutions, and countries.
Results: Koomesh experienced fluctuations in productivity and impact before declining. Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Iran were the institutions and countries with the highest participation rates, respectively. Raheb Ghorbani emerged as the most influential and prolific author. The article "Estimation of natural age of menopause in Iranian women: A meta-analysis study" received the most citations. A considerable degree of co-authorship existed among the journal's top authors, with the most collaboration occurring between Iran and Sweden and, in terms of cities, Tehran and Semnan. The terms Iran, sports, and anxiety were the most prevalent and significant. The most discussion was on precision medicine and COVID-19.
Conclusion: This study has provided an overview of the publication structure of Koomesh Journal during the years 2006 to 2022. This study may be useful for the editorial board of the journal, because it provides numerous and useful information for the progress and continuation of the work.

Jimenéz 2014) for mapped subjects and entities to collectively evaluate and re-invent both their position in a controversy and their means, methods, and tactics for obtaining public impact. This methodological experiment is framed through a discussion of the experience of participation (Kelty 2018) and ethical attunement and world-building among activists (Zigon 2018), and argues for the potentials for collaborative methods and interventionist use of digital cartography in the field of controversy mapping in relation to the green transition.

With this in mind, the engineering education community should continue investigating and evaluating the key factors that hinder or promote collaborative research within and across institutions, especially amidst efforts to continue to grow the field. Over the last few decades, research collaborations across institutions have grown significantly—however, few studies have examined the relationship between such collaborations and the institutional characteristics such as ranking, geographic location, or classifications (e.g., the Carnegie Classification of Higher Education Institutions) when studying collaboration networks. Our paper uses social network analysis (SNA) to help fill this gap by examining how some of these institutional characteristics are related to the institutions' collaborations and network positions. Social network analysis has emerged as a useful approach to measure research collaboration by evaluating several types of collaboration networks, including co-authorship networks. In this paper, we consider the institution network. Nodes in this type of network represent institutions, while links represent the pairwise collaboration between two institutions. Each link also has a weight that represents the collaboration frequency. The links form a social space that we can map and analyze to reveal systematic patterns in the broader engineering education community that might otherwise pass unobserved. For this study, we collected information about all papers published between 1996 and 2019 in the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) annual conference proceedings. From this dataset, we built the inter-institutional collaboration network and identified structural network properties, connected components, and modularity classes. The network data were then linked to data regarding each institution's (i) Carnegie classification, (ii) rankings based on the 2020 QS World University Rankings, and (iii) geographic location. With this augmented dataset, we were able to answer research questions about factors associated with inter-institutional collaborations through statistical analysis. In doing so, we identify the key patterns, trends, and associations from our networked data.

We show for the first time the overview of research on agricultural labor in global value chains indexed in Web of Science, which provides the path of references that can be used as background for further studies. The paper encourages research on new topics and collaborations between authors and institutions for such achievement.
contribution of global value chains approach to labor studies in agriculture. To fill this knowledge gap, the aim of the study was to characterize the research domains on agricultural labor in global value chains through a bibliometric review study. Our main findings are that (1) knowledge production on agricultural labor in global value chains is structured in three main research domains:
socioeconomic aspects of labor in value chains; implications of global value chains on labor; technological development of global value chains; (2) the top countries, top institutions, top journals, top authors and most-cited articles are identified.

abstract = {Background: With the widespread application of a robot to surgery, growing literature related to robotics in surgery (RS) documents widespread concerns from scientific researchers worldwide. Although such application is helpful to considerably improve the accuracy of surgery, we still lack the understanding of the multidiscipline-crossing status and topic distribution related to RS. Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the interdisciplinary nature and topic hotspots on RS by analyzing the current publication outputs related to RS. Methods: The authors collected publications related to RS in the last 21 years, indexed by the Web of Science Core Collection. Various bibliometric methods and tools were used, including literature distribution analysis at the country and institution level and interdisciplinary collaboration analysis in the different periods of time. Co-word analysis was performed based on the keywords with high frequency. The temporal visualization bar presented the evolution of topics over time. Results: A total of 7732 bibliographic records related to RS were identified. The United States plays a leading role in the publication output related to RS, followed by Italy and Germany. It should be noted that the Yonsei University in South Korea published the highest number of RS-related publications. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary collaboration is uneven; the number of disciplines involved in each paper dropped from the initial 1.60 to the current 1.31. Surgery; Engineering; Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Medical Imaging; and Neurosciences and Neurology are the 4 core disciplines in the field of RS, all of which have extensive cooperation with other disciplines. The distribution of topic hotspots is in imbalanced status, which can be categorized into 7 clusters. Moreover, 3 areas about the evolution of topic were identified, namely (1) the exploration of techniques that make RS implemented, (2) rapid development of robotic systems and related applications in surgery, and (3) application of a robot to excision of tissues or organs targeted at various specific diseases. Conclusions: This study provided important insights into the interdisciplinary nature related to RS, which indicates that the researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds should strengthen cooperation to publish a high-quality output. The research topic hotspots related to RS are relatively scattered, which has begun to turn to the application of RS targeted at specific diseases.
