Comparing Safari Tech Books Online and Books24х7 E-book Collections: A Case Study from the University of British Columbia Library.
Authors: Barsky Eugene , Schattman Lisa , Greenwood Aleteia
Published: July 2022

Most academic libraries are seeking to provide electronic access to the very dynamic and changing field of technology related material. Safari Tech Books Online and Books24x7 are the major e-book collections in this area. We compared the Safari Tech Books Online and Books24x7 e-book packages as to their usefulness for the University of British Columbia Library, second largest academic library in Canada. In our sample, we found that Books24x7 had more titles to offer (25% more); the overlap between the collections was relatively small (13-16%) and publishers varied considerably; and although there were no major differences in the "usefulness" measures of the titles in the two packages (Amazon.com ratings, WorldCat holdings and Reviews.com reviews were quite similar for both packages), O'Reilly titles, available only through Safari Tech Books Online, were held by a slightly higher number of libraries worldwide. We conclude that in order to have comprehensive coverage of this constantly changing area of knowledge, a large research academic library needs to subscribe to both collections. If subscribing to both collections is not an option, we recommend selecting a package based on the pricing that the library can negotiate with ProQuest, the vendor of both products, since the collections are complimentary in their nature.

Soil Surveys — They're Not Just for Farmers.
Authors: Pellack Lorraine J.
Published: July 2022

Soil surveys may sound boring and useful only to farmers; however, nothing could be further from the truth. Soil surveys do contain inventories of the soils of an area; however, they also contain a wealth of tabular data that help interpret whether a location is suitable for a given use, such as a playground, a golf course, or a highway. This guide will describe soil surveys, their uses, and uniqueness. It will also cover information on the variety of ways they can be cataloged and shelved in libraries and provide search tips for locating them both online and in library collections. While the guide is mainly focused on U.S. soil surveys, there is also some information provided on locating non-U.S. soil surveys. The guide is aimed at the novice librarian, or researcher, as well as librarians starting work at a new library. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Authors: DeArmond A. R. , Overhauser E. A. , Powell S. M. , Schelling L. R. , Oster A.D. , Palos M.K. , Sago K.K.
Published: July 2022

Science librarianship is a rapidly changing professional specialization that requires unique skills and experiences for science librarians to perform at the highest level. A content analysis of recent job advertisements was conducted to determine the most desirable qualifications for science librarians. It was found that the most frequently cited qualifications include formal education and professional experience, and also, significantly, interpersonal skill sets in areas such as customer service, communication, and teaching. Furthermore, subject-specific scientific knowledge and experience was also found to be desirable for science librarian positions or departmental liaison roles. These results suggest that library schools should re-evaluate their curricula to make sure that their courses emphasize communication skills and offer subject-specific training as well as education in the traditional skills of librarianship.

Are Article Influence Scores Comparable across Scientific Fields?
Authors: Arendt Julie
Published: July 2022

The Impact Factors provided in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) have been used as a tool for librarians, authors and administrators to assess the relative importance of journals. One limitation of the Impact Factor is that the values are not comparable across different fields of research. JCR now also includes Article Influence Scores. One of the reputed advantages of the Article Influence Score is that it takes into account differences in the citation patterns between fields, allowing for better comparisons across different fields. This study investigates the ability of the Article Influence Score to provide this advantage by comparing the Impact Factors and Article Influence Scores of 172 fields listed in the JCR Science Edition. Although the range of Article Influence Scores across different fields is less extreme than the range of Impact Factors, Article Influence Scores still display large differences across fields. The Article Influence Scores of scientific fields correlate with their Impact Factors. The scientific fields that have journals with higher Impact Factors also have journals with higher Article Influence Scores. For practical applications, the large disciplinary differences that persist in the Article Influence Score limit its utility for comparing journals across different fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sequencing Genetics Information: Integrating Data into Information Literacy for Undergraduate Biology Students.
Authors: MacMillan Don
Published: July 2022

This case study describes an information literacy lab for an undergraduate biology course that leads students through a range of resources to discover aspects of genetic information. The lab provides over 560 students per semester with the opportunity for hands-on exploration of resources in steps that simulate the pathways of higher-level researchers; the structured assignment done in the lab highlights useful aspects of each resource; and a major poster presentation assignment students do after the lab consolidates and reinforces their understanding of the nature of genetic information. Close collaboration with the biology instructor has resulted in a detailed laboratory exercise that supports exploration of advanced information tools through focused questions. The exercise, as befits its subject, is constantly evolving, both in response to changes to the available resources, and to student feedback. The case study presents in detail the step-by-step exercise students work through. The steps are provided as a series of tool-specific modules that other librarians could use individually or as a set. The advantages of using the resources together come from the integration of the resources themselves, and the way they demonstrate the synergies and relationships between data, articles and patents, which are all key sources of information in the sciences.

Five Voices, Two Perspectives: Integrating Student Librarians into a Science and Engineering Library.
Authors: Barsky Eugene , Greenwood Aleteia , Sinanan Samantha , Tripp Lindsay , Willson Lindsay
Published: July 2022

While there is an ample amount of literature on the topic of integrating new librarians into the workplace, there has been relatively little on the practice of integrating graduate library school students on the reference desk. Written by a team of librarians and library school students, this article brings together the unique perspectives of working professionals and students. Each year the Science and Engineering branch of University of British Columbia (UBC) Library hires a number of library school students as Student Librarians (SL). This creates a win-win situation whereby librarians are given release time to work on a multitude of tasks, while students are given the opportunity to gain valuable experience working in an academic library setting, learning from professional librarians and building a network. The article begins with insight and advice from supervising librarians, including what they look for in a potential new hire. The discussion then moves on to include reflections from the student librarians in the areas of reference, collection development and instruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Authors: Baktiar Aditya Firman , Utiayarsih Toza Sathia
Published: July 2022

Smoking behavior is certainly a serious problem that needs to be resolved immediately in Indonesia. It because smoking has been shown to trigger various diseases. More than that, smoking can also causes death. Based on the results of Riskesdas in 2013 and 2018, the province with the highest smoking prevalence in Indonesia is Jawa Barat. Moreover, the prevalence of smoking in Jawa Barat also shows a stable trend and has always been above the national prevalence since 2001. If we look at the spatial distribution, the prevalence of smoking in Jawa Barat shows a grouping where close districts/cities have a similar values to each other. It indicates spatial dependencies that need to be accommodated in the modeling. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the factors that influence the prevalence of smoking in Jawa Barat by using spatial analysis. Based on the spatial lag model, it was found that the percentage of the population graduating from high school and the percentage of the highland area had a significant effect on smoking prevalence in Jawa Barat. While the percentage of the married population, the percentage of the working population, and tobacco production had no significant effect.

Authors: Raharjo Mulianto , Kurnia Anang , Wijayanto Hari
Published: July 2022

There was unsynchronized national rice data until 2017, which indicating that influenced by the differences in calculation methods between government agencies. The Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS Statistics), the most responsible agency for national rice data, collected rice plant areas data using the paddy statistical assessment method (SP-Padi). Subjective elements from various parties potentially influenced the result of this assessment method. The development of a new method to overcome this matter has been started by the government since 1993. In 2018 the method, which is named the Area Sample Frame (ASF) method, was officially used by the government under the coordination of BPS. The ASF method divides the area into grids: blocks, segments, and sub-segments. This new method has several issues related to the methodology used in determining the sampling method. This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of paddy harvest area estimation on the ASF method through a sampling simulation process of the ASF method with various scenarios. With 20 simulated scenario combinations, it was found that the difference percentage average between the harvested area of the population and the harvested area of the sample to the sub-district area was 0.00062%, and the mean square error (MSE) was 0.0041%. So it can be concluded that the ASF methodology is an unbiased method and is good enough to accommodate various strata diversity in any region.

Purpose:

Overall complication and leak rates in colorectal surgery showed only minor improvements over the last years and remain still high. While the introduction of the WHO Safer Surgery Checklist has shown a reduction of overall operative mortality and morbidity in general surgery, only minor attempts have been made to improve outcomes by standardizing perioperative processes in colorectal surgery. Nevertheless, a number of singular interventions have been found reducing postoperative complications in colorectal surgery. The aim of the present study is to combine nine of these measures to a catalogue called colorectal bundle (CB). This will help to standardize pre-, intra-, and post-operative processes and therefore eventually reduce complication rates after colorectal surgery.

Methods:

The study will be performed among nine contributing hospitals in the extended north-western part of Switzerland. In the 6-month lasting control period the patients will be treated according to the local standard of each contributing hospital. After a short implementation phase all patients will be treated according to the CB for another 6 months. Afterwards complication rates before and after the implementation of the CB will be compared.

Discussion:

The overall complication rate in colorectal surgery is still high. The fact that only little progress has been made in recent years underlines the relevance of the current project. It has been shown for other areas of surgery that standardization is an effective measure of reducing postoperative complication rates. We hypothesize that the combination of effective, individual components into the CB can reduce the complication rate.

The problem of diagnosis and treatment of the meningovascular form of neurosyphilis in neurology and clinical pharmacology has been actively discussed for over a hundred years. Invasion of pale treponema in the central nervous system occurs in the early stages of the course of syphilitic infection during the period of hematogenic dissemination of the pathogen by perforation of the vascular endothelium. With the discovery of penicillin, which is still the “standard” of syphilis treatment, neurosyphilis has become a fairly rare disease, and therefore difficulties may arise in its diagnosis. The initial phase of infection may be accompanied by an asymptomatic meningeal reaction. The article presents a clinical observation of neurosyphilis manifested by epileptic seizures and extensive ischemic stroke.
Physiologic Effects of Prolonged Terminal Anesthesia in Sheep (Ovis gmelini aries)
Authors: Trimmel Nina E , Hierweger Melanie M , Jucker Simone , Windhofer Lisa , Weisskopf Miriam
Published: July 2022

The ruminant alimentary tract and its effects on blood homeostasis complicate prolonged terminal studies conducted under general anesthesia in sheep. We therefore studied 15 healthy female white alpine sheep that were undergoing prolonged anesthesia (> 30 h) for an unrelated terminal study. In the current study, all sheep developed a decreased hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration after induction of anesthesia, which fell further, along with a significant decrease in white blood cell count, over the course of anesthesia. Sheep also showed an initial hyponatremia, a persistent hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and a progressive hyperchloremia. A significant drop in blood pH developed over time despite normal values of blood lactate and a marked decline in partial pressure of carbon dioxide over the course of the experiment. The latter consequently reduced the efficacy of mechanical ventilation, as reflected in a reduced oxygen partial pressure. A significant increase in lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine kinase was observed. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate significantly decreased over time, but remained within normotensive and normocardic limits. Central venous pressure rose significantly over the course of anesthesia. In conclusion, prolonged anesthesia in sheep is associated with a wide range of complex physi- ologic changes. An in-depth understanding of all metabolic compensatory mechanisms and their underlying cause during prolonged anesthesia is necessary for interpreting data from the primary study, with special considerations to account for ruminant-specific physiology.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tentang diskresi dari sudut pandang hukum administrasi negara dan hukum pidana serta menganalisa apa penyebab kriminalisasi kebijakan atau diskresi yang dikeluarkan oleh penyelenggara negara. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian normatif dalam penelitian ini yang menjadi alat utama pengumpulan data, berupa studi dokumen atau studi kepustakaan. di dalam penelitian ini pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa ada perbedaan sudut pandang antara hukum administrasi negara dan hukum pidana mengenai diskresi. Di dalam hukum administrasi negara, diskresi merupakan kebebasan bertindak atau kebebasan mengambil keputusan dari Badan atau Pejabat administrasi pemerintahan menurut pendapatnya sendiri, sedangkan dari sudut pandang hukum pidana, diskresi dianggap sebagai sebuah sudut yang menggoda atau disebut sebagai power seduction, bagi para penguasa dalam menjalankan kekuasaaannya. Kekuasaan yang dimaksud adalah kekuasaan untuk menggunakan kewenangan berdasarkan kreatifitas pejabat tersebut. Kemudian Diskresi dapat menjadi sebuah perbuatan melawan hukum dalam hukum pidana. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi Ketika diskresi tersebut mengakibatkan kerugian negara, sekalipun sebenarnya niat awal dari dilakukannya diskresi tersebut bertujuan untuk mengisi kekosongan aturan dan menyelesaikan permasalahan yang ada Ketika menjabat, bukan untuk keuntungan diri sendiri atau orang lain. Kemudian dari penelitan diketahui bahwa kriminalisasi kebijakan, atau diskresi yang gagal kemudian menjadi tindak pidana korupsi, disebabkan oleh adanya kekeliruan pemahaman dalam memaknai unsur melawan hukum sebagai genuus delict dan menyalahgunakan kewenangan sebagai species delict, Kurang cermatnya para penegak hukum dalam memahami dan membedakan antara ruang lingkup hukum administratif dan hukum pidana inilah yang menurut penulis menyebabkan hal ini terjadi.

Nowadays, the demand for a high-speed car increases in which vehicle stability and fuel economy are the primary concern. The vehicle's aerodynamics plays a crucial role as it influences the overall performance of the vehicles. In the exploration of car aerodynamics, it involves studying various forces that act on a car while moving on the road, i.e., drag force, lift force. The leading causes of aerodynamic drag for automotive vehicles are the flow separation at the vehicles' rear end. By reducing the drag force, it is possible to increase the fuel economy. The research is focused on the effect of a vortex generator (VG) on a sedan car aerodynamics. The objective is to simulate fluid flow analysis for a sedan car that uses VG and without VG, to assess the effect of a different configuration of VG and the impact of a varying number of VG mounted on a sedan car in terms of flow pattern development and coefficient of drag (Cd). This study is conducted using two identical sedan car models, i.e., with VG and without VG. The flow around the vehicle has been considered incompressible. It is obtained by solving the incompressible form of the Reynolds Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations combined with the k-ε turbulence model. The simulation is run for different configuration of VG that acquire different radius of fillet, i.e., VG-1 (5 mm), VG-2 (30 mm) and VG-3 (50 mm) and for different number of VG that is mounted on a sedan car, i.e., 0 VG, 1 VG, 3 VG, 5 VG, 7 VG, and 9 VG. The data and results taken from this simulation show that the smallest fillet radius of VG, i.e., VG-1 (5 mm), is the best VG to be used on a sedan car. The results also show that, as the number of VGs increases, the drag coefficient is decreased. Hence, the best number of VGs to be used on a sedan car are nine VGs.

Over time, the rate of road accidents is increasing day by day. Eventhough with various advancements, the developing countries are still struggling to eliminate this issue. One such possible solution could be adopting the advanced automated tools for the road accident data collection systems, based on which the policymakers can adopt the necessary strategies to avoid the accidents. In this manner, a review has been conducted where a comparison of road accident data collection systems was made between developing and the developed countries. It was observed that to establish a standardized system for road accident prevention, records from prior accidents play a key role in the evaluation and prediction of the accident, damage, and consequences. Moreover, the manual and digital approaches of data collection were highlighted, which revealed that digital approaches are reliable and time saving for data gathering and its compilation. This comparison is beneficial in terms of future developments in developing countries and the developed countries can act as a role model and their strategies can be implemented to reduce the accidents.

Gratitude in Islamic teachings includes three aspects: gratitude with heart, verbal, and deed. Therefore, gratitude is limited to verbal recognition in the heart and should be realized in concrete actions (Tafsir al-Miṣbāḥ). In Positive Psychology, gratitude has three functions: a barometer, motivator, and moral reinforcement. Through a hermeneutic approach, the purpose of this study is to explore 1) the spiritual values of the concept of gratitude in Tafsir al-Miṣbāḥ and, 2) How is the relevance of the spiritual values of gratitude in Tafsir al-Miṣbāh in creating spiritual well-being. This research is a literature study, with the primary data source being the verses of the Qur'an about gratitude described in the Tafsir al-Misbah interpretation. Through a hermeneutic approach, the study results show that gratitude is a Spiritual Capital in creating spiritual well-being. Gratitude contains psycho-spiritual values such as trust (Amanah), satisfaction (qanā‘ah), humility (tawāḍu'), and optimism. These values function as motivation and morale reinforcement to build harmonious relationships between individuals, others, the universe, and God (spiritual well-being).Keywords: Spiritual Well-being; Gratitude Concept; Gratitude Spirituality.

This article aims to examine the concept of freedom of learning from the point of view of the progressivism philosophy of education. The method used is literature study with a hermeneutic approach to explaining the reality that occurs with elements of interpretation and description. The concept of freedom of learning education is under the modern progressivism educational philosophy and wants a fundamental change in the implementation of education to be better, better quality, and provide real benefits to students. Progressivism has emphasized the importance of the fundamentals of independence and freedom to students, by giving them the freedom to develop the competencies, interests, and talents they already have, without the obstacles of formal regulations which sometimes shackle their creativity and thinking power to be better. The concept of freedom of learning education in Indonesia which has become a new policy is considered to be able to change the existing education system. The harmony of independent learning with the philosophy of progressivism provides a new perspective on the orientation of education in Indonesia, in practice, it presents a natural learning space and allows children to grow and develop according to their interests and talents so that the goal of forming individuals with character can be realized.

Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a ciliopathy characterized by abnormal tubular epithelial proliferation and fluid secretion. Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is a calcium-dependent chloride channel. However, how ANO1 contributes to ADPKD is largely unexplored. Methods: Kidney tissues from ADPKD patients, Pkd1RC/RC mice model, WT9-7 human PKD1+⁣/- cells, and 3D culture models in vitro were used. Localization of ANO1 and cilium length were investigated by confocal immunofluorescence. Results: We found that ANO1 was consistently upregulated in human and mouse PKD kidneys. Intriguingly, ANO1 located in a vesicle-like pattern at the ciliary base but not on the ciliary surface. ANO1 deficiency enhanced ciliogenesis and the ciliary dosage of polycystin-2 in human PKD cells, and reduced cyst formation in 3D culture models. Moreover, inhibition of ANO1 abolished the activation of STAT3 and ERK pathways in PKD cells. Conclusions: Our data indicate ANO1 is a negative regulator for both cilia length and cilia trafficking of polycystin-2 and provide mechanistic insights regarding the therapeutic potential of ANO1 pathway in ADPKD treatment.
