JournalMap: Where in the World is that Research?
By Bob Unnasch, Director of Science, The Nature Conservancy in Idaho
"Siri, where is the nearest research plot?"
It's early morning in a strange town and you are desperate for that first cup of joe. So, you pick up your phone and say, "Siri, where is the closest coffee shop?" And, the phone gives you a map showing coffee shops in the neighborhood.
You choose one and ask for walking directions and the phone displays a map with an arrow guiding your path. It's amazing. Yet, this geographically specific information is now so ubiquitous that we take it for granted.
Not all information is so easily searched geographically.
Ecological research, for example.
I conduct a lot of research in the Owyhees, a remote 5-million-acre expanse of high desert canyons and sagebrush habitat in southwestern Idaho.
If I stand in the Owyhees, pick up my phone, find a cellular signal and say, "Siri, where is the nearest research plot?" there will be no map, and no answer.
When back in my office I can go onto the Web of Science or Google Scholar and search for rangeland research by topic, but not by geography. A search of "rangeland health" and "Owyhee County" results in all of 20 hits, only one of which is published in a scientific journal. A search of "rangeland health" with a latitude/longitude location yields no hits.
I know a lot of important research has been done in the Owyhees – I've published some. But, it is difficult, if not impossible, to find it.
That's because the scientific journals are stuck in the 19th century, indexing their articles by topics and concepts, not locations. Since the emergence of cheap GPS, most journals have required authors to provide the location of their studies. Yet, these very journals don't use that information.
We needed a tool that could pull from this GPS data to find research. That's why JournalMap was developed. In collaboration with colleagues from the USDA's Agricultural Research Service / Jornada Experimental Range we developed JournalMap to allow anyone to find relevant scientific information by location.
Specifically, JournalMap is an ecological literature search engine that allows users to track down relevant scientific research based on location and biophysical variables as well as traditional keyword searches. Publications are indexed based on reported location information and plotted on a world map showing where the research was conducted allowing you to easily visualize the research occurring in specific areas and show you where data gaps might exist.
JournalMap allows scientists to get a broad perspective of where research has been published or to focus on specific areas. Users can easily visualize literature richness in a given area and identify knowledge gaps. This is particularly powerful for land managers that need to know everything about their specific landscape, or a researcher looking for an underrepresented study area.
In addition to being able to search for literature geographically, JournalMap opens up the possibility to search for literature from similar areas. In many parts of the world, there has been little formal study of the structure and dynamics of local ecosystems, turning resource management into a guessing game. However, research that has been conducted on landscapes that share similar soils and climates can, in many cases, be relevant to these understudied regions. JournalMap allows researchers to search for research in these similar areas.

What really lives in your belly button - researchers reveal 'rainforest' of bacteria
- Scientists discover nearly 1,500 species which may be new to science
- Researchers now hope to figure out why certain species prefer some people's navels over others
Navels harbour an ecosystem of bacteria which is similar in their biodiversity to the world's rainforests, a new study claims.
After two years of quite literal navel gazing, U.S. researchers found 2,368 species of bacteria, 1,458 of which may be new to science.
Just eight of these species were found in more than 70 per cent of individuals sampled. However, questions remain as to what factors govern which species will be found on which people.
It's a jungle in there: Researchers investigating bacterial life in our belly buttons have found they harbour ecosystems similar to those found in the world's rainforests
'The common, abundant species are from a relatively small number of evolutionary lines, indicating that they have evolved traits that make them at home on human skin,' said Rob Dunn of North Carolina State University.
'However, we are still trying to figure out what determines which of these species are found in a given person's belly button.
'We've looked at sex, age, ethnicity and a number of other factors — none of them are predictive of which species live in that person.'
Dr Dunn and his team say they have swabbed more than 500 belly buttons over the past two years, but concentrate on just 60 individuals for their study published last week in the open-access journal PLoS One.
The researchers launched their project in part to investigate claims over recent years that the collection of organisms on human skin forms our first line of defence against pathogens.
'We know that without these microbes our immune systems won't function properly,' Dr Dunn said in a statement.
'In fact, this collection of microbes must have a certain composition — must form a certain microbial ecosystem — in order for our immune system to function properly.
'This work is a significant step toward helping us understand which species are the most important players in those ecosystems.'
Aerobic: Like us Micrococcus species need oxygen to survive. They are unlikely to do well too deep inside a belly button, but on the surface they thrive. They can deal with drought and long periods of starvation, predisposing them to a life spent clinging to our desert-dry flesh
Some Clostridia species are bad news (think botulism), but most of these anaerobic bacteria are harmless or even beneficial. Microbes of this group may be urging themselves across your skin right now, heading from inhospitable ground in a direction their senses tells them might be a better, like your belly button or your ear
The bizarre idea to probe the biodiversity of belly buttons started about two years ago with an undergraduate student's idea to sample a colleague's navel bacteria for a holiday card.
National Geographic reported how the idea struck a chord with academics at NC State, which had just adopted a new focus on trying to get the public interested and involved in their work.
As part of their research the Belly Button Diversity team recruited a range of volunteers - and got some unexpected results.
Science writer Carl Zimmer, was hosting at least 53 different species, some of which had some surprising provenance.
After he got his results, he wrote: 'Several species I've got, such as Marimonas, have only been found in the ocean before.
'I am particularly baffled that I carry a species called Georgenia. Before me, scientists had only found it living in the soil. In Japan.'
'The idea was simple. We would culture the bacteria of people's belly buttons to provide folks with a visual measure of the life on them, a reminder of the mysteries everywhere,' Dr Dunn wrote in a Scientific American guest blog post.
He added: 'We quickly found that peoples' belly buttons differed in terms of which species live in them. They differed more than we expected. We were intrigued and so we decided to get a little more serious about our study.'
The NC State team asked volunteers to place long cotton swabs in their navels and twist them around three times. They then placed the swabs in vials and grew the bacteria in cultures.
Once the cultures grew big enough, they were photographed and processed using high-throughput genetic sequencing to identify each of the phylotypes (species) present and how prevalent each phylotype was.
For the purposes of this study, a phylotype was defined as an organism whose sequence in the 16s rDNA gene (essentially the microbial fingerprint gene) varied from other organisms by at least 3 per cent.
Yuck: Staphylococcus bacteria, left, and the antibiotic Bacillus bacteria are two other species of tiny bugs that were regularly found in the belly buttons of volunteers who gave samples to the study
The study identified 2,368 different phylotypes but only eight phylotypes - which the team dubbed 'oligarchs' - were found on at least 70 per cent of the study participants.
Those eight phylotypes - including varieties of Staphylococci, Corynebacteria, Actinobacteria, and Clostridiales, and Bacilli - were also among the most abundant, accounting for almost 50 percent of the total abundance of bacteria in the samples.
'The idea that some aspects of our bodies are like a rain forest — to me it's quite beautiful. And it makes sense to me as an ecologist. I understand what steps to take; I can see how that works'
Altogether, the researchers found that the average bellybutton among study participants contains 67 different phylotypes of bacteria.
Dr Dunn told National Geographic: 'That makes the belly button a lot like rain forests.' He explained that in any rainforest the range of flora will vary but scientists can count on a certain few dominant tree types present.
He added: 'The idea that some aspects of our bodies are like a rain forest—to me it's quite beautiful. And it makes sense to me as an ecologist. I understand what steps to take next; I can see how that works.'
The next step for the Belly Button Diversity project is to work out why certain types of bacteria appear in certain people's navels.
By examining the rest of their samples they will begin trying to correlate the wildlife found there with factors ranging from the subjects' places of birth to the characteristics of their immune systems.

Damilola: could better design have saved his life?
The Peckham housing blocks where 10-year-old Damilola Taylor lived and died are to be demolished next year. The buildings have been earmarked for demolition as part of a £160 million rebuilding programme on the North Peckham Estate masterplanned and designed by Pollard Thomas & Edwards Architects. The rebuilding programme is almost halfway through but the fact that Damilola lived in one of the original 1965 buildings designed by Camberwell Council sparked a debate this week over ...

" Positive: It is clean and quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful.
Negative: The house is VERY cold. There is NO hot water (we stayed for several days and neither of us ever had a hot shower). No one cleaned our room or took out our trash (you know how quickly those small, South American trash bins fill up!) and they only provide one roll of toilet paper per week! There is no breakfast. There is no internet! Also, they won't store luggage, even for a few hours. Not very hospitable! "
Owner Comment
sorry, but you spent only two nights not several... and we never offered breakfast because we have a kitchen for guets and you can use 24 hrs a day. We do not offer internet because you can pay 0,50 dollar/hour in an internet coffe few mtrs. from the hostel. We do not store luggage for more than 2 hrs. : our check out is at 11:00 and you were travelling at night time. The hostel was cold? it was raining season and we can not do anything about this !

" The caspaxi is a very good place to stay in quito. you get excellent value for money and your host is extraordinary friendly and helpfull. The hostel is not centrally located but not far from the mariscal - you can easily walk. The good thing is that you have some peace and quiet there. I would recomend the place to anyone looking for a place to stay in quito especially if you have a longer stay because it is really a home away from home! "

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
Recently we asked nurses if they think electronic medical records (EMRs) improve patient safety. Their response: 58% said they make care safer, but 42% felt they increase risks. (See , November 2012.) That's very concerning because the federal government is currently incentivizing healthcare organizations to achieve "meaningful use" through the utilization of certified EMRs. EMRs are now being launched in complex healthcare environments, often before anyone fully appreciates the impact these systems will have on work flow and patient care.
The problems with EMRs can be significant if they're not designed well. For example, one electronic system may not interface with another in the same institution, making critical patient information difficult to retrieve or even invisible to healthcare providers. Poor graphic design may make selecting the wrong patient or intervention from similar-looking lists all too easy. Then there's productivity loss from too many mouse clicks, navigation issues, screen freezing, and use of nonvalue-added language, fields and tasks. Just trying to piece together a coherent clinical summary or discerning a patient's unique story can prove challenging. I could go on.
Despite the problems, EMRs have real value but we need a more intelligent approach. We need the talent of the software gurus who developed the easy functionality we enjoy in our mobile devices to work their magic in the healthcare IT industry-partnered with frontline staff, facility IT experts, and other stakeholders who must use these systems in the real world. We need design flexibility that enables the EMR to complement patient care, not drive dysfunctional work flow. This is a paradigm shift-many EMR platforms and vendors are quite rigid. When we permit vendors to dictate design rules in isolation, we're letting the tail wag the dog.
Nurses, this is a wake-up call. We need to be active participants in EMR design so that the final product facilitates a safe, efficient, and patient-centered work flow instead of hindering it. Consider joining committees charged with selecting, designing, and implementing EMRs. Question problematic EMR structures. Complete event reports when an EMR is the root cause of an error or near-miss. Finally, be ever vigilant to prevent patient care from becoming a casualty of "progress."
Until next time-

Every year, there are players who become objects of desireTony Evans
Brendan Rodgers challenged Liverpool to use last night's battling draw with Ludogorets in Bulgaria as a turning point for their season and urged his players to build on the result by ensuring that they reach the knockout stage of the Champions League. The combination of their 2-2 draw in Sofia and Basle's 1-0 home defeat by Real Madrid means that a win for Rodgers's side against the Swiss champions at Anfield on December 9 will take them into the round of 16, where they will be joined by Arsenal, who ensured qualification by beating Borussia Dortmund. The manager's only disappointment was the concession of a late equaliser, but he refused to allow that to deflect from a much-improved performance after four successive defeats in all competitions. "We spoke before the game that this needs to be the night to change our season, and for that we needed to
Andy Murray has settled the debates about the women in his life by committing to Kim Sears, his girlfriend, and Amélie Mauresmo, his coach. The forthcoming union with Sears may have seemed a happy inevitability, but Mauresmo's role has been shrouded in more doubt. The British No 1 has been dogged by questions over his choice of the Frenchwoman as his replacement for Ivan Lendl since her appointment on June 8. On a rolling news day from the Murray camp, it emerged that he has asked Sears to be his wife and will continue to engage the the services of Mauresmo. John McEnroe says the tennis partnership has not been "a roaring success", Tim Henman claims Murray has not been "playing the right way" under her tutelage and Greg Rusedski says he has become too passive. However, the severed alliance with Dani Vallverdu, his assistant coach, and Jez Green, his fi
It is strange that the three fastest one-day hundreds by England batsmen have been thrashed in losing causes. Perhaps the proximity of triumph and despair appeals to the national psyche. More likely, England teams have simply struggled to bat and bowl well enough in the same game. This was the case yesterday, when Moeen Ali cemented an opening slot by completing his maiden limited-overs century from 72 balls. Only Jos Buttler (from 61) and Kevin Pietersen (69) have reached the landmark quicker, but it was not enough as England fell short of what would have been their record chase, despite a determined late effort by Ravi Bopara. That Sri Lanka were able to score 317 for six, despite the slow outfield, testified to indisciplined bowling by a depleted England attack, the sort more familiar at the end of an international season than the start, when the fron

Posted in Obituaries
Robert Kenneth Livingood, 72, of rural Fountain, a retired farmer, died of cancer July 15, 2003 at Preston Good Samaritan Center.
He was born Oct. 10, 1930, in Postville, Iowa, the son of Kenneth and Mildred (Johnson) Livingood. After the fifth grade, he lived with his grandparents in Amherst, Minn., where he continued school. From 1951 to 1955, he served in the Navy. Mr. Livingood farmed most of his life and also worked at Gehling Implement in Preston. He married Betty Raaen, and they were later divorced. He was a member of the Preston VFW and American Legion. Survivors include three sons, Kenneth (Tracy) of Brentwood, Tenn., Gary of Wykoff and Alan of LeRoy; eight grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; four sisters, Donna Geerdes of Rochester, June Livingood of Sonoma, Calif., Mavis (Carleton) Vine of St. Cloud, Fla., and Mary Virgilito of Red Wing; three brothers, Milton (Marlys) of Rochester, Paul (Jan) of Ripon, Wis., and Garland of Waterville, Minn.; and special friend, Rose Christopher. He was preceded in death by a granddaughter, a brother and two sisters. A memorial service was held July 19, 2003 at Thauwald Funeral Home in Preston, with Chaplain Theresa Turnbull officiating. The body was cremated. Burial will be later in Newburg Methodist Cemetery in rural Mabel.
