The basic of an optimal outcome after midline incision is the appropriate closure technique with or without a prophylactic mesh. The objective of this paper is to critically examine the various closure techniques and, in particular, to present a detailed comparison of the long stitch and short stitch techniques. <b>Method:</b> Based on the available literature, the characteristics of the different closure techniques are described in detail, advantages and disadvantages are compared, and the current status of a practicable recommendation is discussed. Special attention is paid to the criteria of the short stitch technique, such as the suture to incision length ratio, number of stitches and distances, as well as suture material. <b>Results:</b> For elective midline closures, the use of a continuous closure using a slowly absorbable suture material in the small-bites technique with suture to wound ratio of at least 5:1 result in significantly lower risk of complications such as bursting abdomen and less incisional hernia rates compared to the large-bites technique. <b>Conclusion:</b> Based on the present evidence in midline closure after elective laparotomy the small bites technique can be recommended to significantly reduce the rate of incisional hernia.</p>","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"10962"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10831662/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87191390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sustaining acceleration seems an appropriate theme for the 2021 survey following the 2020/21 health crisis which was the catalyst for massive change across almost all organisations. It created a sense of urgency, with the leaders reporting many quick wins in the new operating environment in the 2020 survey. The opportunity now is to maintain their momentum by consolidating their current gains and accelerating change, driving their business towards the new normal. Part II captures the leaders’ reflections on a range of topics that are shaping their operations including the technology and content trends, vendor engagement, client engagement as well as summarising their future priorities.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"39 1","pages":"113 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44782022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses investing in employability of librarians as an impetus for enhancing the professionalism of librarians in Nigeria. It argues that career aspirations are essential motivators for professionals to develop the competence required to promote their profession. Itidentifies the likes of National Library of Nigeria, Nigerian Library Association, Librarians' Registration Council of Nigeria, National Association of Library and Information Science Educators, African Regional Center for Information Science and Library and Information Science Schools as professional agents responsible for strengthening and sustaining LIS practices in Nigeria. It proposes internationalisation of LIS education, indigenisation of Nigerian Librarianship, continuous training of librarians, internships, provision of libraries in government institutions and admission of other cadres into LRCN as strategies for enhancing professionalism of librarians and further justifies the need for employability as efforts aimed at supporting professionals to develop knowledge and skills required to excel in both their work and life. It concludes that Librarianship in Nigeria is in dire and urgent need of rebirth and sustainability and recommends amongst others that librarians should be intuitively inspired to learn new skills and techniques relevant to the contemporary world of library and information services.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"56 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42652493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The BIR Annual Survey is the world’s longest running survey into the information needs and changing professional environment of the commercial information and knowledge management sector. Over the past three decades the BIR Annual Survey has developed into an unrivalled account of the changing context and practices of information and knowledge work. This year’s survey, completed by Stephen Phillips, continues that tradition tracking the state of the profession in a post-pandemic world. One area of significant change that has been tracked by the survey through the 21st century has been the growing importance of leadership roles in information and knowledge management careers. Once a profession defined by technical skills and professional knowledge, information and knowledge management increasingly rely on soft skills and business acumen to drive or support organisational change. Leadership began to emerge in the surveys as a discrete topic the mid-1990s but has become an increasingly significant characteristic of information work over recent years. The 2015 Annual Review for example emphasised the importance of information professionals taking on leadership roles (Foster: 2015), and in 2017 half of respondents ranked leaderships skills as important to professional development (Carter, 2017). In broad terms leadership describes the ability of an individual or group to influence and guide other individuals, groups or entire organisation in furtherance of particular goals. What constitutes leadership remains, however, contested with conceptions of leadership as something possessed by virtue of a role or position of power ceding in recent decades to a focus on influential power relationships. Nevertheless leadership is also commonly associated with a number of key personal attributes, including assertiveness, extroversion, emotional intelligence, decisiveness and sometimes negative traits including narcissism. Notions of leadership generally feature more significantly in the professional literature of knowledge management than in information management; in some sense this is unsurprising as knowledge management tends to emphasise the social aspect of information work over resources and collections. Nevertheless Huvila (2014) has been instrumental in expanding concepts of leadership across information and knowledge roles, arguing that: The roles of information and knowledge leadership may be seen [...] as complementary to each other. A distinct process of leading information is a necessary precondition for functioning knowledge leadership (2014: 669)","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"39 1","pages":"69 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41823494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
