Scholarly personae in the history of Orientalism, 1870-1930
This volume examines how the history of the humanities might be written through the prism of scholarly personae, understood as time- and place-specific models of being a scholar. Focusing on the field of study known as Orientalism in the decades around 1900, this volume examines how Semitists, Sinologists, and Japanologists, among others, conceived of their scholarly tasks, what sort of demands these job descriptions made on the scholar in terms of habits, virtues, and skills, and how models of being an orientalist changed over time under influence of new research methods, cross-cultural encounters, and political transformations. Contributors are: Tim Barrett, Christiaan Engberts, Holger Gzella, Hans Martin Krämer, Arie L. Molendijk, Herman Paul, Pascale Rabault-Feuerhahn and Henning Trüper.

Impact of the clinical nurse specialist role for the myeloproliferative neoplasm program: Part Two - The team and patient care experiences
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a group of rare clonal disorders of hematopoietic progenitor cells associated with disease- related symptoms, thrombotic events, and risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (Tefferi, 2021). Their relative rarity and complexity of care led to the establishment of the MPN program at the Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre, Toronto, Canada. The MPN program utilizes a shared-care model wherein partnering with local hematologists (shared-care partners) ensures that patients have access to a MPN specialist while continuing to receive care close to home. The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role was implemented in late 2016 to support not only the shared-care model, but also to triage new patient referrals, and support consultation and follow-up. Although the CNS role has been part of the healthcare system since the 1940s, the role and its impact remain unclear at times to the inter-disciplinary team. This paper describes the process and results in evaluating the CNS role's impact in the MPN program through using a multi-method approach. In this Part II of a series, the focus is on discussing the team and patient care experience with having a CNS as part of the care team.

Impact of the clinical nurse specialist role for the myeloproliferative neoplasm program: Part One - From timeliness of triage to cost-saving
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of rare clonal disorders of hematopoietic progenitor cells associated with disease-related symptoms, thrombotic events, and risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (Tefferi, 2021). The relative rarity and complexity of care led to the establishment of the MPN program at the Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre. The MPN program utilizes a shared-care model wherein partnering with local hematologists (shared-care partners) ensures that patients have access to an MPN specialist while continuing to receive care close to home (Cheung et al., 2021). The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role was implemented in late 2016 to support not only the shared-care model, but also to triage new patient referrals, and support consultation and follow-up. Although the CNS roles have been part of the healthcare system since the 1940s, the role and its impact remain unclear at times to the inter-disciplinary team. This paper will describe the process and results from evaluating the CNS role's impact in the MPN program using a multimethod approach. This is part one of two papers; herein the quantitative findings are presented, and part two will discuss the qualitative findings.

Benchmark and Survey of Automated Machine Learning Frameworks
Machine learning (ML) has become a vital part in many aspects of our daily life. However, building well performing machine learning applications requires highly specialized data scientists and domain experts. Automated machine learning (AutoML) aims to reduce the demand for data scientists by enabling domain experts to build machine learning applications automatically without extensive knowledge of statistics and machine learning. This paper is a combination of a survey on current AutoML methods and a benchmark of popular AutoML frameworks on real data sets. Driven by the selected frameworks for evaluation, we summarize and review important AutoML techniques and methods concerning every step in building an ML pipeline. The selected AutoML frameworks are evaluated on 137 data sets from established AutoML benchmark suites.

Barriers and facilitators to giving prehabilitation advice by clinical nurse specialists and advanced nurse practitioners in oncology patients
Purpose
This is the second article in this series on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) and ANPs (advanced nurse practitioners) regarding prehabilitation advice in oncology patients, exploring the barriers and facilitators to giving prehabilitation advice by CNSs and ANPs in oncology patients.
Methods
A Cross-sectional online questionnaire opens for 3 months to establish the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of ANPs and CNSs to prehabilitation disseminated through professional organisations and social media.
Results
The questionnaire gained (
n
= 415) responses. Prehabilitation advice was routinely given by 89% (
n
= 371) of respondents. Many (60%) identified a lack of guidance and referral processes as a barrier to giving prehabilitation advice; this corresponded between respondents’ confidence to give prehabilitation advice and subsequent referrals (< 0.001). Other factors included time (61%), a lack of patient interest (44%) and limited relevance to patients (35%).
Conclusion
The implementation of standardised nurse prehabilitation advice resources would enable CNSs and ANPs to provide personalised prehabilitation advice in their consultations.
