Authors: Ball David
Published: December 2023

David Ball writes about the emergence of Open Science and Open Data. Notably he emphasises that this developing paradigm goes way beyond STEM subjects and impacts on social science, arts and humanities. Research data can be qualitative and well as quantitative and embrace statistics, digital images, archives, sound recordings and survey data, for example. He provides an extensive overview of Open Science and Open Data, their rationale and potential.

The UK has always pioneered fresh ways of viewing librarianship as a profession. I have been an information professional for over seven years, and during that time there have always been aspects of librarianship that people thought would ‘die out.’ The need for librarians in an ‘information age’, for example. How often have we heard that ‘Google can find the results’, and so on? However, aren’t we now more important than ever before? Perhaps more so than any other period? I think that mid-career professionals are looking at a future where we need to learn to marry the soft skills of the profession with the harder, more technical skills required to specialise and adapt to an evolving need within society.
I am currently a User Research Consultant at Methods, Information Technology and Services. Projects are focussed mainly in the public sector and to date I've worked with the Education, Skills and Funding Agency and the Department of Education. Attending the 2019 CILIP Conference through the generosity of the UKeiG CILIP Conference Bursary, gave me the opportunity to connect with old friends, make new friends, and network with a community that I usually only interact with online. It’s easy to forget how diverse the profession is with the myriad roles and personalities that make up an increasingly nuanced industry.
This article will articulate my interpretations of key conference themes, and their relevance to Knowledge and Information Management (K&IM).

Persistence, vision, networks, collaboration - leadership in information retrieval research
Authors: Horrocks Gary
Published: December 2023

The library and information science community has its share of inspirational research pioneers building a corpus of knowledge to influence and construct the future. Intuitive search interface design, the psychology and mechanics of information retrieval and information seeking behaviour are key development priorities. In December 2021, Ian Ruthven, Professor of Information Seeking and Retrieval at the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde, presented the seventh annual Strix Memorial Lecture entitled: ‘Google’s what you use when Alexa doesn’t know the answer, Uncle Ian.’ It was inspired by an innocent comment made by his young niece.
People create their own models of how information works for them. Information seeking behaviour is social and shaped by life, so there are infinite iterations of queries and limitless perceived solutions to perceived problems.
We explore Ian’s work and his observation that there is so much potential to progress research by placing information seeking and retrieval within the broader societal and cultural framework of what people or populations want from or do with information.

Farmers in remote, arid areas, far from available water sources, need affordable water solutions for household and livestock use. In this study, the water needs and potential for rainwater harvesting (RWH) in the Kysylsu River Basin are estimated at different altitudes. The mean annual net rainfall depth varied from 545 to 900 mm. With an average roof area of 550 m2, 211 m3 to 344 m3 rainwater can be harvested for dry and wet years respectively. Based on the estimated water demand and rainfall deficit, the average household need was estimated to be 100 m3. For a low-cost water storage solution, we tested different types of waterproof materials to replace smaller 12-18 m3 concrete tanks commonly used in the region. Soil pits lined with 0.3 mm double layer polyethene (0.6 mm in total) was the best solution for 5 m3 volume tanks in terms of the costs and durability and 0.8 mm double layer polyethene (1.6 mm in total) was ideal for sealing 10 m3 volume tanks. This study demonstrates the efficiency of the system for improved livelihood of the families through rain harvesting.

Trazodone associated with Clomiphene a proposal treatment for post finasteride syndrome
Authors: Eric Almeida Xavier
Published: December 2023

Erectile dysfunction caused by medications are probably caused by the disconnection of synaptic circuits responsible for linking libido to erection. For instance, it is well known that sexual dysfunction may occur in patients treated with finasteride, an inhibitor of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, prescribed for androgenetic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Interestingly, sexual dysfunction persists after drug discontinuation. Clomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that has been used for the treatment of hypogonadism in men. It acts centrally to increase secretion of luteinizing hormone. Trazodone is a multifunctional drug with hypnotic actions at low doses due to blockade of 5-HT2A receptors, as well as H1 histamine receptors and α1 adrenergic receptors, therefore this drug can cause severe priapism and in many cases causing penile necrosis or permanent loss of erectile function. Therefore, we propose that trazodone and clomiphene can restore libido synaptic circuits, thus these associated drugs can be a treatment for post-finasteride syndrome.

Introduction: Orthodontics and periodontics are two closely related disciplines, as they both affect the periodontium. An upstream analysis can reduce the risk of periodontal pathologies appearing or worsening. The aim of our study was to determine the risks of orthodontic forces on pathological periodontium. Methodology: This is a systematic review of articles evaluating the need for pre-orthodontic periodontal treatment using the PRISMA method. A total of 11 recent articles were selected. The study was carried out from January to March 2023. Results: The articles asserted a high risk of aggravation of pre-existing periodontal pathologies (54.5%). The 27.2% mentioned risks of gingivopathy, periodontitis, plaque accumulation, increased inflammation and loss of attachment. Nine percent of articles predicted a risk of increased bone dehiscence, gingival recession, alveolysis and root resorption. Discussion: Orthodontic therapy can be considered a risk factor for the periodontium through two phenomena: difficulty in meticulous hygiene practice; and osteoclasia caused by the infectious agents responsible for periodontal disease. One study showed that orthodontic treatment can transform gingivitis into periodontitis and/or aggravate pre-existing periodontitis. Conclusion: Periodontal treatment is essential before orthodontic treatment to optimize periodontal support and improve orthodontic therapy.

Published: December 2023

Rice husk particles were used as a major material in making of particleboard. The experimental research used a factorial randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the relative humidity (RH) that consisted of indoors RH of 83-85% and outdoors RH of 87-91%; the second factor was the exposure time (1-6 week(s)). The physical and mechanical properties changes of rice husk-particleboard during 6 weeks of indoor and outdoor exposures were measured. The internal bond (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) of rice husk-particleboard decreased and the thickness of swelling as well as density of rice husk-particleboard increased during exposing to indoors and outdoors open-air.
The possible impact of COVID-19 pandemic on serum vitamin D levels on newborns in Greece
Authors: Artemisia Kokkinari  , Maria Dagla  , Aikaterini Lykeridou  , Kostas Bagianos  , Evangelia Antoniou  , Georgios Iatrakis
Published: December 2023

Background: Very few studies have evaluated the probable role of the period of 2019 coronovirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on neonatal 25(OH)D levels. Vitamin D status in the fetus and newborn is largely determined by the vitamin D status of the mother. A recent study in Greece witnessed an unexpected rise in maternal 25(OH)D levels in pregnancy during the COVID-19 period. Consequently, it remains unclear whether neonatal 25(OH)D levels decreased due to reduced sun exposure in the COVID-19 period or followed their unexpected maternal findings. Methods: We studied neonatal 25(OH)D levels in cord blood specimens at birth in 246 neonates of Greek mothers with stratified random sampling, from September 2019 to January 2022. We divided our samples into the pre-COVID-19 period and the post-COVID-19 period. Chi-square test was used to find an association between neonatal 25(OH)D concentrations throughout the COVID-19 period. Quantitative results of 25(OH)D vitamin levels on newborns were transformed into qualitative variables assessing lack of 25(OH)D, adequacy, deficiency and severe deficiency and thus defined in that way. All other results of 25(OH)D levels are presented as means ± standard deviations (SD) or by frequencies and percentages. Results: The results in neonates exhibited a similar pattern to that of their mothers’. The mean serum values of 25(OH)D levels of the newborns were statistically significantly higher during the COVID-19 period compared to the pre-COVID-19 period. Conclusions: Although during the COVID-19 period lower maternal and therefore neonatal 25(OH)D levels were expected, these were higher and because of these findings, we can only make assumptions. Without a doubt, further investigation is required.

Legal Construction of Consanguineous Marriages (Analysis of Article 8 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage)
Authors: Ryan Ade Saputra  , Haris Sanjaya Umar
Published: December 2023

Inbreeding is an act that violates the law, both marriage law in Indonesia and religious law. As Article 8 of Law Number 1 of 1974 regulates that marriage is prohibited. The main problem to be discussed is related to the legal construction of inbreeding and the analysis of inbreeding based on Legislation of Marriage. This research is normative research using statutory, case and concept approaches. This research shows that there are people who want to end consanguineous marriages through divorce. Meanwhile, consanguineous marriages are marriages that do not meet the requirements for a marriage to be valid, so they must be annulled. The advice from this research is that if someone knows that there is a sibling relationship with the person they are going to marry, then they should not proceed with the marriage. However, if you have already entered into a marriage, the marriage must be annulled. Apart from that, if you are going to get married, you have to do more research regarding the relationship of each couple. This includes registering marriages to prevent marriages between people who are related by blood.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: O hálux valgus (HV) é uma deformidade complexa, que possui  diversos tratamento cirúrgicos descritos, sendo os métodos percutâneos cada vez mais utilizados. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os pacientes com HV leve ou moderado que foram submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico utilizando a técnica Percutaneous Intra-articular Chevron Osteotomy (PeICO).

Métodos: Trata-se de uma série de casos retrospectiva de 15 pacientes (18 pés) com diagnóstico de HV leve ou moderado submetidos a correção cirúrgica pela técnica PeICO. As variáveis clinicas analisadas foram: Dor (EAV), função (AOFAS), satisfação pessoal e complicações cirúrgicas. Os parâmetros radiológicos mensurados pré e pos operatório foram: ângulo de valgismo do halux (AVH), ângulo intermetatarsal (AIM), posição dos sesamóides e consolidação da osteotomia.

Resultados: Houve uma melhora nos desfechos clínicos, com aumento médio no AOFAS de 31.1 pontos e uma redução de 5.6 na EVA com diferenças significativas entre os valores obtidos antes e após o procedimento cirúrgico (P < .001). Houve também uma correção radiográfica significativa nos AVH e AIM (P < .001). A complicação mais comum observada foi a necessidade de remoção dos parafusos em três casos (16.6%).  

Conclusão: A técnica PeICO apresentou excelente correção radiográfica, melhora clínica, alto índice satisfação pessoal e baixa taxa de complicações quando utilizada para o tratamento cirúrgico do hálux valgo leve ou moderado.

Published: December 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the content accuracy of the PCFD classification. Methods: A survey-based study distributed through international foot and ankle programs among surgeons with vast experience in practice to analyze the terminology and interpretations used in the PCFD classification. A returned survey with completion of all questions filled out was considered a valid record. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied using SAS version 9.4 for data processing, statistical analysis, and visualization. Results: Eighty-two valid returned surveys from surgeons in 22 countries with a mean of 16 years in clinical practice were included. Among them, 80.5% of the participants considered the PCFD classification helpful in guiding decision-making, 79.3% thought it helped facilitate diagnosis and documentation, 58.5% found it easy to use, 30.5% were unlikely to use the classification, and 29.3% noted that the interpretation of the classification was not clear. Regarding the accuracy, clarity, and clinical relevance of terminology, 42.7% had difficulty in using increased foot and ankle offset, 35.4% had difficulty in using increased hindfoot moment arm, 19.5% found peritalar subluxation not clear, 13.4% found the term sinus tarsi impingement an unclear description, and 8.5% found forefoot varus difficult to diagnose. Conclusions: This international survey-based study provides readers with insights into the content of the PCFD classification. The findings indicate that some terminologies used in the PCFD classification are not universally understood. The authors recommend that modifications may be beneficial to enhance the accuracy and user-friendliness of the PCFD classification. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective study.

O envolvimento ósseo isolado da paracoccidioidomicose sem qualquer foco pulmonar é raro. Este relato documenta o primeiro caso de osteomielite do calcâneo em que a infecção óssea foi a única manifestação da doença. Jovem de 22 anos, pardo, brasileiro, procedente de zona rural, atendido em pronto-socorro ortopédico. Referia calo na região do tendão de Aquiles e desenvolveu claudicação intermitente e, por vezes, incapacidade de deambular. Além de apresentar febre baixa e sudorese. Ele era hipertenso e tomava medicação imunossupressora devido a transplante renal anterior. A ressonância magnética revelou coleção intracalcânea que necessitou de tratamento cirúrgico para desbridamento e preenchimento do defeito ósseo. Após a cirurgia e administração de medicamentos antifúngicos, os sintomas do paciente melhoraram gradativamente. A avaliação epidemiológica para o diagnóstico diferencial e a abordagem clínico-ortopédica multidisciplinar com diagnóstico e tratamento eficaz permitiram a melhor evolução clínica do paciente.

Estructura espacial de caracteres fenotípicos en siete procedencias de Neltuma alba (Fabaceae)
Authors: Vega Maria Victoria
Published: December 2023

Introducción: Neltuma alba es una de las leñosas nativas más importantes de Argentina. Ocupa la ecorregión de Gran Chaco y parte de la Mesopotamia Argentina. Muestra gran variabilidad parcialmente atribuida a hibridación e introgresión con otros algarrobos, asociados a la protoginia y sistemas de autoincompatibilidad. Se adapta a climas áridos y semiáridos con suelos salinos y degradados. La heterogeneidad ambiental y su amplia distribución pueden asociarse a adaptación local y autocorrelacionados espacial en variables genéticas y cuantitativas. Objetivo: Analizar la estructura espacial en procedencias de N. alba influenciada por el aislamiento por distancia en la Región del Gran Chaco.
M&M: Se evaluó la autocorrelación en siete procedencias de N. alba de las ecorregiones del Chaco Seco y el Chaco Húmedo, basado en quince rasgos foliares, de fruto y germinación en 68 individuos adultos, incluyendo información de cinco variables ambientales.
Resultados: los análisis estadísticos univariados demostraron diferencias significativas o altamente significativas entre procedencias. La asociación entre la similitud fenotípica y la distancia geográfica mostró valores de autocorrelación significativa para la primera clase de distancia (0-0.643 km). El test de Mantel parcial indicó que la correlación entre la distancia fenotípica y geográfica se pierde a partir de 40 - 50 km. El análisis global mostró que 11 de los rasgos analizados presentaron una autocorrelación significativa. El análisis espacial local indicó que para varios rasgos existen puntos de alta similitud entre individuos vecinos (hotspots) y puntos donde los individuos cercanos están muy diferenciados (coldspots).

Curah hujan adalah ketinggian air hujan yang jatuh pada tempat yang datar dengan asumsi tidak menguap, tidak meresap dan tidak mengalir. Curah hujan dapat diukur menggunakan peralatan konvensional dan otomatis. Peralatan konvensional untuk mengukur curah hujan adalah penakar observatorium (Ombrometer), sedangkan peralatan otomatis menggunakan sensor typing bucket dari Automatic Rain Gauge (ARG), Automatic Weather Station (AWS) dan Automatic Agroclimate Weather Station (AAWS). Hujan yang diukur menggunakan peralatan konvensional maupun otomatis memiliki satuan yang sama yaitu millimeter (mm). Analisis dilakukan untuk mengetahui kualitas data curah hujan bulanan peralatan otomatis terhadap pos hujan menggunakan diagram taylor. Diagram Taylor merangkum tiga indikator yang sering digunakan termasuk korelasi, standar deviasi, dan centred root mean square error. Hasil menunjukkan ARG Palolo, AWS Dolago dan AAWS Sidondo merupakan yang terbaik diantara masing – masing 3 tipe peralatan otomatis, yang terdiri dari 12 ARG Palolo, 3 AWS dan 3 AAWS di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. ARG Palolo memiliki tingkat keakuratan dan presisi paling mendekati dengan pos hujannya yaitu memiliki nilai korelasi 0.79, p – value 0.00029, centred RMS Error bernilai 95 dan standar deviasi bernilai 97.15. AWS Dolago memiliki tingkat keakuratan dan presisi paling mendekati dengan pos hujannya yaitu memiliki nilai korelasi 0.975, p – value 1.42E – 10, centred RMS Error bernilai 22.4 dan standar deviasi bernilai 107.788. AAWS Sidondo memiliki tingkat keakuratan dan presisi paling mendekati dengan pos hujannya yaitu memiliki nilai korelasi 0.455, p – value 0.0768, centred RMS Error bernilai 61.3 dan standar deviasi bernilai 197.55.
