The data was extracted from 5644 Ph D theses drawn from four South African universities. Using data-mining techniques, we identified sources of inspiration, targets of dedication and subjects of acknowledgement. The findings show that over 90% of doctoral candidates expressed appreciation to supervisors and other academics and colleagues, as had been found in previous research. We also found that almost half of the sample acknowledged funding agencies, which indicates the strong role of external finance. The spread of academic networks across Africa, North America and Europe was noteworthy. The findings also show the strong role of religious beliefs, as 39% of the theses acknowledged the assistance of God. The figure was as high as 51% in one of the universities and statistically significant across institutions and faculties. Religious beliefs among scientists also confirm previous research in the US, indicating that ‘scientists are still keeping the faith'.展开更多

However, blood is scarce and costly, and its use is associated with risks. Therefore, the medical professionals who handle it should have adequate knowledge to ensure rational and safe utilization. The objective of the study was to determine the level of BT knowledge among junior medical doctors in Kenya. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among junior medical doctors working in Western Kenya. Data was collected using questionnaires from August 2021 to March 2022, and analysis was done by way of descriptive and inferential statistics. A p Results: A total of 150 medical doctors participated in the study. Males comprised 60% (n = 90), and the mean age of the participants was 29.9 (SD 3.6) with a range of 25 - 45 years. The mean knowledge score was 54.1% ± 16.4% and was associated with orientation (AOR = 3.157, 95% CI = 1.194 - 8.337). Conclusion: Blood transfusion knowledge among the doctors was suboptimal and was associated with pre-internship induction. There is a need for additional education in BT during all phases of medical training and practice, including orientation for medical interns.展开更多
