1. Exploring musicological discourses : a preliminary meta-analysis of Slovenian scholary articlesTjaša Ribizel Popič, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: This study conducts an exploratory corpus-linguistic meta-analysis in order to determine some prevailing trends in musicological literature published across four prominent Slovenian academic journals. The research aims to provide a dataset and resource for an exploratory analysis of the dominant themes, linguistic patterns, and shifts in scholarly focus over time by compiling a corpus of musicological articles. Combining corpus linguistics with meta-analytic approaches enables a systematic examination of extensive textual data, providing quantitative insights into the evolution of musicological discourse in Slovenia. The findings illuminate thematic and methodological developments within the field, offering valuable perspectives for researchers and educators interested in the progression of musicological studies nationally and internationally. In addition, this approach presupposes that the resource (corpus) will be openly available to other researchers interested in such interdisciplinary efforts, with open access being one of the main tenets of digital humanities.

2. The effect of gamification-based exercises on footA systematic review and meta-analysis : a posture in children and adolescents with flatfoot:Ebrahim Ebrahimi, Rahman Sheikhhoseini, Žiga Kozinc, Seyed Alihossein Nourbakhsh, 2025, review article Abstract: BackgroundGamification has emerged as a novel approach in rehabilitation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification-based exercises on foot posture in children and adolescents with flatfoot. MethodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, utilizing the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases to search for original and peer-reviewed articles with selected keywords from inception to July 2025. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Statistical analysis was conducted with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software version 3. To evaluate data heterogeneity, the Q-test and I2 statistic were applied. Egger’s test was used to assess publication bias. ResultsAfter searching the mentioned databases, 2160 articles were found. Finally, seven articles were included in the current review. It was shown that gamification-based exercise had a significant effect, leading to a reduction in navicular drop (95% CI = −1.796 to −0.516, p = 0.000) and an increase in balance scores (95% CI = −1.647 to −0.462, p = 0.000), compared to the passive control groups that did not receive any intervention. However, no significant differences were seen in the Staheli index (95% CI = −3.298 to 0.023, p = 0.053). High heterogeneity was noted in the navicular drop test (95% CI = −2.412 to −0.603, p = 0.001). Egger’s test indicated no statistically significant publication bias for either navicular drop (p = 0.080) or Staheli index (p = 0.210). ConclusionThe results showed that exercise with gamification may be effective in improving foot alignment in children and adolescents. Specifically, positive effects were evident when using the navicular drop test, whereas no significant changes were detected with the Staheli index. However, interpretation should be made cautiously due to the limited number of studies and lack of age or gender stratification.
