Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate success factors pertinent to the management of Indigenous businesses through the identification of points of intervention at the systemic and structural levels. Through this approach, the economic and social values that First Nations communities attach to intangible Indigenous cultural heritage (ICH) and Indigenous cultural intellectual property (ICIP) may be both recognised and realised as assets. This paper adopts a multidisciplinary approach to address a global issue of economic and social significance to First Nation peoples, their businesses and the Australian Aboriginal communities. The authors adopt a First Nation epistemological standpoint that incorporates theoretical perspectives drawn from a erse range of fields and theories (Preston, 2013), as well as advocate the use of Indigenist methodology for research with First Nation peoples as it is underpinned by critical race theory. The authors argue conceptually that accounting, accountability and auditing consideration are required to fully identify what is impacting the successful management of Indigenous enterprises. Specifically, in relation to accounting, Elders should be included to assist in valuing the intangible ICH and ICIP assets. Furthermore, the authors emphasise the need to improve the financial and commercial literacy levels of Indigenous entrepreneurs. The authors prescribe the use of tools for the accounting treatment of ICH and ICIP as intangible assets within an Australian regulatory environment and define an auditing process and accountability model incorporating cultural, social and environmental measures. A central tenet of this model relates to improving levels of personal and commercial financial literacy in the First Nation participants. Collectively, these factors promote informed participation and decision-making, and may promulgate more sustainable outcomes. Integrated thinking requires all these factors to be considered in a holistic manner, such that a First Nation enterprise and the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can understand, and make decisions based on, the overall impact it has on all their stakeholders and generally on the society, the environment and the economy. This paper contributes to Australia’s strategic research priorities of maximising social and economic participation in society and improving the health and well-being of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The authors address the inability of current Western accounting standards, practices and models to suitably account for communally held and protocol-bound intangible Indigenous cultural heritage and Indigenous cultural intellectual property assets.

Abstract: The objectives of this scoping review are to identify the reliability and validity of the available tools, their limitations and any recommendations to further improve the use of these tools. A scoping review methodology was followed to map the literature published on the challenges and solutions of conducting evidence synthesis using the JBI scoping review methodology. A total of 47 publications were included in the review. The current scoping review identified that LitSuggest, Rayyan, Abstractr, BIBOT, R software, RobotAnalyst, DistillerSR, ExaCT and NetMetaXL have potential to be used for the automation of systematic reviews. However, they are not without limitations. The review also identified other studies that employed algorithms that have not yet been developed into user friendly tools. Some of these algorithms showed high validity and reliability but their use is conditional on user knowledge of computer science and algorithms. Abstract screening has reached maturity data extraction is still an active area. Developing methods to semi-automate different steps of evidence synthesis via machine learning remains an important research direction. Also, it is important to move from the research prototypes currently available to professionally maintained platforms.

Abstract: oint of care (POC) devices enable medical interventions, including testing, to be performed near the patient and often by the patient. Some have suggested that this will disrupt medicine from a symptom/diagnosis/treatment endeavour to a monitoring rediction revention exercise. The rate of innovation and discovery in this area is high, with a majority of these devices used for screening. This article reviews the public health benefits of point of care devices in terms of patient engagement, health inequality and health promotion. Low-cost screening clinics that make use of point of care devices ultimately help with reducing health inequality in developing countries and remote areas. The article also outlines the issues hindering the benefits of using POC and further suggests a framework to present and evaluate point of care devices used in the healthcare industry. The scope of this study is limited to medical-grade devices used at home, in clinics, aged care and hospital settings. We argue that having such a framework provides a neutral source of information to evaluate and select POC for various tasks. CONCLUSION This study briefly reviews the benefits and challenges associated with using emerging point of care devices to achieve public health benefits. Emerging Point of Care devices has the potential to disrupt public health by increasing patient engagement in managing their own conditions, reducing inequalities in access to healthcare caused by geographic or resource factors, the automated detection of undiagnosed conditions, provision of the healthcare system, and the assembly of large datasets that can be analysed to guide public health policy. However, for these public health benefits to be realised, POC devices need to be regulated in a more open and transparent manner. A framework is proposed to provide information in a transparent manner for the comparison, maintenance and best use of POIC devices in order to facilitate the inclusion of these devices in the health care system.
