E-Preferred Approval Books at the University of Manitoba: A Comparison of Print and Ebook Usage
Authors: Horner Jan C.
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective – To compare the usage of print and ebooks received on University of Manitoba’s e-preferred YBP approval plan as well as to examine cost per use for the approval print books and ebooks.

Methods – Usage data was compiled for books received on approval in 2012/2013 to December 31, 2014. Counter reports were used to determine use and non-use of ebooks, while vendor reports from EBL and ebrary were used for the cost per use analysis. Print usage information was drawn from SIRSI and then ALMA when UML switched systems at the beginning of 2014.

Results – Ebooks received more use than p-books overall, but when examined by subject discipline, significant differences could not be found for the “STM” and “Other” categories. With ebooks, university press books tended to be used more than those from other publishers, but the same result was not found for print books. Ebrary ebooks tended to be used more often than EBL, EBSCO, and Wiley ebooks, and single-licence books tended to be somewhat more used than multi-user ones. Cost-per-use data was much lower for print books, though the comparison did not look at staffing costs for each medium.

Conclusions – This study finds that of approval books matching the same profile, ebooks are used more, but print books receive more substantial use. Both formats are needed in a library’s collection. Future comparisons of cost per use should take into account hidden labour costs associated with each medium. Usage studies provide evidence for librarians refining approval plan profiles and for budget managers considering changes to monographic acquisition methods and allocations.

Between 2017 and 2020, we participated in a national project led by the Education Office, called „Support for social inclusion and integration measures in public education” (EFOP-3.1.3-16-2016-00001), which we simply called "Kindergarten for Opportunities". The aim of the project was mainly to help kindergartens educate and develop disadvantaged and multiply disadvantaged Roma and Gypsy children. An important phase of the work was the survey, in which a specific assessment of skills was carried out with the active participation of the institutions, adapted to life in the kindergarten and based on the observations of the kindergarten teachers. In the present study, we focus on an important aspect of the survey, the study of social competencies. Results were obtained in three categories (self-images, social relations, and emotional-willing qualities), in five dimensions per category, from the kindergartens participating in the project in the three selected counties. In the total survey, the kindergartens provided information on a total of 1112 children, of which the number of responses received in the three counties analyzed by us was as follows: 259 in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, 178 in Hajdú-Bihar county and 271 in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. So kindergarten teachers' statements regarding n=708 children were analyzed in this study. No significant difference can be observed in the results: only in a few cases did we experience a negative deviation in social competences in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county.

Published: January 2024

The aim of asthma treatment is to reduce airway inflammation by avoiding environmental triggers and using daily anti-inflammatory medications. This study aimed to compare the effects of fluticasone propionate (FP) and budesonide (Bud) on the clinical symptoms and control of asthma in children with moderate to severe asthma.
In this open-label study, children with moderate to severe asthma were randomly selected to receive either FP 250 mcg or Bud 400 mcg for 3 months. Asthma control test scores were measured in both groups monthly. The clinical symptoms, drug adherence, and rescue medication were also evaluated.
A total of 50 patients with ages between 4 and 7 years old were included in the study (25 cases received Bud and 25 cases received FP). Asthma control test scores, daily and nocturnal symptoms, and cough rates were significantly improved in both groups. The average asthma control scores for the fluticasone group were 21.68±3.32 in the second month and 24.84±2.67 in the third month, whereas the budesonide group had scores of 18.52±3.32 and 22.48±4.12 during the same periods. These variances were statistically significant. Additionally, the requirement for salbutamol use was notably reduced in the fluticasone group compared to the budesonide group throughout all three months.
The efficacy of fluticasone propionate in decreasing the need for rescue medication and enhancing asthma control test scores was markedly superior to that of budesonide.
Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) Epigenetically Modulates Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) Expression to Affect Asthma
Authors: Lin Liangfeng , Hu Xiaohao , Li Qiaoyu , Huang Linlin
Published: January 2024

Asthma, a prevalent chronic airway inflammatory condition, poses a significant health challenge. In this study, we delved into the regulatory mechanisms governing asthma, focusing on Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3).
Through an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced mouse model and interleukin-13 (IL-13)-induced cell model, we mimicked the in vivo and in vitro functions of METTL3 in asthma.
Our research revealed that METTL3 expression significantly decreased in asthma-induced mice and IL-13-stimulated cells compared to the control group. Moreover, METTL3 overexpression enhanced bronchial epithelial cell viability and proliferation. Mechanistically, we observed elevated levels of total iron, Fe2+, malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), alongside reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in IL-13-stimulated cells. Remarkably, METTL3 overexpression counteracted these effects, suggesting a pivotal role in mitigating asthma-related oxidative stress. Furthermore, our study highlighted the involvement of N6-methyladenosine methylation (m6A) modification, where METTL3 regulated the m6A modification of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) RNA, impacting RNA stability. Knockdown of METTL3 suppressed m6A modification on GPX4 RNA, impairing its stability and contributing to IL-13-induced ferroptosis. Interestingly, METTL3 overexpression not only inhibited cell ferroptosis but also alleviated asthma symptoms.
Our findings shed light on the epigenetic regulation of asthma through METTL3-mediated m6A modification, offering potential therapeutic avenues for this prevalent inflammatory disease.

Published: January 2024

Increasing the efficacy of allergen-specific intranasal immunotherapy (INIT) has recently been the main goal of several studies to establish this route as a safe delivery method through mucosal pathways. In this case, the present study evaluated the potential of INIT using ovalbumin (OVA)-loaded mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes (Exo-OVA) in an allergic asthma mouse model.
Together with control groups, sensitized Balb/c mice underwent intranasal immunotherapy with Exo-OVA (10 μg OVA per dose) for three consecutive weeks. Serum-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), interleukin (IL)-4, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production by cultured spleen cells, lung histopathologic analysis, and nasopharyngeal lavage fluid cellular examinations were then conducted.
The results showed that INIT using Exo-OVA significantly increased IFN-γ and TGF-β secretion, while allergen-specific IgE and IL-4 production were dramatically decreased compared to the control group receiving phosphate-buffered saline. In addition, the eosinophil and total cell counts in the nasopharyngeal lavage fluid were reduced, and inflammatory conditions and cell accumulation in lung tissue were ameliorated.
In conclusion, the Exo-OVA improved the INIT efficacy compared to free OVA. Therefore, this formulation could be introduced as an effective approach for immunomodulatory purposes with a shorter treatment duration and reduced side effects.
Macrophage Activation Syndrome as a Complication of Chronic Granulomatous Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Liquidano-Perez Eduardo , Berrón Mariana Carmona , Nieto Rosa Itzel Carrillo , Corcuera Delgado Celso Tomás , Galicia Lizbeth Blancas , Mendoza Selma Cecilia Scheffler
Published: January 2024

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) presents with granuloma formation and lethal infections. It is inherited in an autosomal or X-linked recessive pattern. We describe a 10-month-old patient with a fatal secondary HLH as a CGD primary manifestation. We carried out an autopsy and found noncaseating granulomas, an aspergilloma in the lung, and hemophagocytosis. We performed a DHR assay on the patient’s mother and grandmother, showing a bimodal pattern conclusive of X-linked CGD. Thus, our definitive diagnosis was CGD complicated by macrophage activation syndrome. CGD is caused by phagocytes’ inability to control pathogens, resulting in granulomas. Secondary HLH is a severe complication and could be characterized by the proliferation of macrophages and T lymphocytes and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The early suspicion of this presentation helps establish a specific treatment, and the study of the carriers helps determine the etiology.

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE POLITICAL NON- EQUIVALENT LANGUAGE UNITS’ TRANSLATION IN THE MEDIA DISCOURSE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLES)
Authors: Podgorskaya Karina S. , Laskova Marina V.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the issues of the non-equivalent vocabulary translation in the sphere of English political media discourse. Today, due to the processes of globalization and the expansion of the media space, the issues of translation of the non-equivalent language units in different spheres, including lexical units in the sphere of media discourse, become more and more relevant. Because of the rapid development of political relations between countries, new words appear in the media that may not have their exact equivalents in the target language, which becomes one of the most challenging tasks not only for the translator, but also for translation studies, lexicology, intercultural communication and other linguistic disciplines as a whole. The aim of this article is to consider the main problems and ways of translating the non-equivalent vocabulary of modern political topics, to analyze the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the translation of the non-equivalent vocabulary in the media discourse, and to draw conclusions about which translation techniques are the most common and adequate when translating the non-equivalent lexical units in the social and political texts of the media discourse. In order to achieve the aim in the article we have reviewed the existing classifications of the elements of the field of the non-equivalent vocabulary, provided the basic research terms, as well as analyzed the translation techniques, typical for the political texts of mass-media discourse. Having carried out a comprehensive analysis of the studied material, it is noted that if the lexical unit of a media discourse text belongs to the field of non-equivalent lexical units, the ways and the adequacy of its rendering is determined not only by lexical and grammatical transformations, but also by extralinguistic knowledge and the translator’s cultural grasp; the most difficult lexical elements for translation are political terms, jargon and emotive-evaluation vocabulary, the rendering of which is often determined by pragmatic aspect of the translation; the most common and adequate translation techniques were semantic development, compensation, descriptive translation, and contextual transposition.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE IMAGE OF RUSSIANS IN THE BRITISH MEDIA DISCOURSE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE BRITISH MEDIA 1941-1945 and 2014-2023)
Authors: Posternyak Kirill P.
Published: January 2024

The relevance of this article lies in the need to study the transformation of the image of Russians in the British media discourse during periods of allied relations between Russia and Britain and during periods of confrontation between these states, which is necessary to expand the understanding of the mechanisms of transformation of the image of ethnos in the political media discourse. The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of the conceptual and linguistic-stylistic actualization of the images of Russians in the British media discourse during the Second World War and the last decade. The results of the research show that during the Second World War, when the Soviet Union and Britain were allies in the fight against Nazi Germany, the image of Russians had a positive connotative background. Its conceptual space included such axiologically significant concepts as "ally", "defence", "bravery", "courage", "battle", "sacrifice", "victory", "confidence", "unity" and "patriotism." Russians were attributed such positive personality qualities, represented in the conceptual space of the image by the corresponding concepts, as emotionality, a good sense of humor, complaisance, patience, cordiality Creating such an image, British journalists used functionalevaluative words of positive semantics, comparative constructions, allowing to show the constancy of positive qualities, and contrast, with which the bravery of Russian soldiers was emphasized in comparison with the nations that failed to resist fascism. Due to the confrontation between Russia and Britain that has intensified since 2014, the connotative background of the image of Russians is mostly very negative. The conceptual field of the image of Russians includes such axiologically significant concepts as "enemy", "crime", "prostitution", "corruption", "evil", "deceived by propa-ganda", "weakness", "fear", "despair" and "depression". This image is created with the help of evaluative and functional-evaluative lexemes with negative evaluation, com-parative constructions and metaphorical epithets.

Authors: Saberi Behzad
Published: January 2024

Central nervous system pathologies can be detected by employing various imaging modalities. Among others, the computerized tomography scanning, or CT scanning is an important imaging modality to detect various intracranial lesions including brain tumors. Given its availability in basic clinical settings which is more than advanced neuroimaging modalities, CT scanning can be a useful and easy to access imaging technique to detect central nervous system pathologies. Although it has some limitations but still CT scanning is a useful modality to detect central nervous system pathologies including brain tumors. Considering this, it is important for the clinicians to have knowledge to interpret the results of the CT scanning of the central nervous system, so that they can detect abnormalities and pathologies with more precision. This brief review tries to point to some important notes in the interpretation of the results of cranial computerized tomography scanning in detection of various central nervous system pathologies including brain tumors.

Authors: Dincoglan Ferrat
Published: January 2024

Objective: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare type of head and neck cancer with a relatively poor prognosis. Local recurrence may be encountered during the course of disease. Management of patients should be performed on an individual basis by use of a collaborative approah. Surgery serves as the main modality of management, however, radiation therapy (RT) may also be used for treatment. RT may play a crucial role as the supplementary or definitive therapy, and recurrent disease may also benefit from RT. Treatment of ATC may be challenging, however, RT has been used for ATC management. In this original research article, we explored treatment volume determination for ATC.

Objective: In this study, we evaluated treatment volume determination for parametrial boosting in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Primary goal of this study has been to evaluate treatment volume determination for parametrial boosting based on CT only or fused CT-MRI in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. We have carried out a comparative analysis of treatment volume determination by CT simulation images only or by integration of MRI. While we primarily focused on evaluation of incorporated multimodality imaging for treatment volüme determination, we also assessed critical organ contouring along with interobserver and intraobserver variations. Ground truth target volume has been utilized for comparative analysis, and it was determined by board certified radiation oncologists after detailed evaluation of all imaging and relevant data with thorough colleague peer review and consensus.
Salvage Robotic Prostatectomy and High Risk Disease: What Else Can We Do?
Authors: SS Goonewardene
Published: January 2024

Salvage radical prostatectomy (sralp) is known for managing more high risk disease. This is a treatment option for biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer [1]. This is an uncommonly performed procedure, which may be technically challenging [1]. Failure of non-surgical primary treatment for localized disease has rates ranging from 20% to 60% [2]. Very often, during salvage procedures, due to the loss of tissue planes and fibrosis, more extensive dissection is required. This leads to a higher rate of complications. Given the advances within robotics, this next question should robotic surgery be considered for high risk prostate cancer and what are the technical tips?

Cell material is one of the biological materials that contains many abstract concepts and objects, this causes students to have difficulty understanding the concept and has an impact on the low learning outcomes of students. Misconceptions arise when learners develop their own understanding of a concept, but the concept is wrong and different from the actual concept. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the level of understanding of the concept of students. Identification is done using a Multiple Choice test with CRI which aims to determine the percentage level of understanding of students on cell material. Students' understanding is categorized into understanding the concept, misconceptions and not understanding the concept. The results showed that the percentage of students' misconceptions on cell organelles was 34.03%, the concept of differences between animal cells and plant cells was 31.48%, the concept of cell types was 28.47%, the concept of cell components was 35.42% and the concept of cell bioprocessing was 36.11%. The average misconception of students on cell material is 33.10%. The average percentage of students' misconceptions is classified as low.

Published: January 2024

Misconceptions are one of the causes of students learning difficulties. One of the misconceptions about chemistry is the atomic structure. In general, chemistry subjects are abstract and difficult to visualize. It causes students to find it difficult to understand chemical concepts correctly. Misconceptions that occur in students will have an impact on understanding further material. Therefore, it is necessary to do an analysis to identify students who experience misconceptions so that efforts can be made to prevent and correct them. Misconceptions experienced by students can be identified through diagnostic tests, one of which is the five-tier diagnostic test. Most of the five-tier diagnostic tests used are narrative-based, which triggers student saturation. Therefore, this study uses a five-tier diagnostic test combined with a pictorial test. This research is to find out students misconceptions experienced by X-class SMA in the matter of atomic structure. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method. The instrument used in this study was a pictorial-based, five-tier diagnostic test consisting of 24 items. The results showed that students experienced misconceptions about atomic structure material with an average percentage of 20%. Students experience misconceptions about the concept of the development of atomic theory (18%), atomic constituent particles (23%), isotones, isobars, and isotopes (21%), and electron configurations (20%). Factors that cause misconceptions experienced by students include their prior knowledge, their interest in studying atomic structure material, the sources of their personal thoughts, their low ability and reasoning in understanding atomic structure material, and their lack of instilling concepts in them.

Published: January 2024

The ability to detect and measure the distance of potential obstacles is importance for navigation system in self-driving vehicles. The measurement process needs to be fast and accurate since the controller requires real-time data to make quick decisions and respond to any potential disturbances on the vehicle's track. This research aims to develop Microlidar for detection system that can accurately measure the distance of a potential obstacle object. The Microlidar utilize Lidar Lite V3 proximity sensor which have range measurement specification of up to 40 meter. Microlidar rapidly rotate 360 degrees by using a stepper motor while in the same time continuously measure the real-time distance. The measurement data are sent to a microcontroller through I2C, and the Processing software plot the 2D image which work like radar visualization. The system is assessed for ranging the various distance object in static and dynamic measurement mode. The results show that the Microlidar has a good level of accuracy with an average error value at the distance of 300 cm is 4.99 cm or 1.7% while the average error value at the distance of 1000 cm is 15.69 cm or 1.6% obtained from 100 data sets collected. The communication from the sensor to Arduino requires a minimum baud rate of 115200 bits/second to minimize data loss and ensure that the measured distance can be processed in real time by the microcontroller. Real-time data with high speed is essential since it will be used on the vehicle in order to quickly decide whether there is a barrier or not on the vehicle’s track. The sensor analysis distance expected from this research could be used as a reference to support the navigation system performance of self-driving vehicles.

Risk management was an effort to identify, prioritize, analyze, and reduce potential risks that could occur to patients, visitors, staff, and organizational assets. With risk management, hospitals could implement more effective decision-making to prevent undesirable events from occurring in providing health services. Rumah Sakit Ibu dan Anak Muslimat Jombang did not yet have an integrated risk management system. Risk recording was done manually, which raised various problems. Therefore, to facilitate data management, a system was needed that could make it easier for hospitals to manage risk management as a basis for decision-making. The aim of this research was to design a hospital risk management information system. The design was carried out using the waterfall method and with UML notation. The programming language used was PHP with the help of the Codeigniter framework, and the database used was MySQL. Testing of this system was carried out using blackbox testing. This information system produced 14 features in 19 menus, and the system could be accessed according to different access conditions.

Ijen geopark is one of Indonesia's geoparks, which is located in East Java. A total of 153 bacteria have been isolated from Pelangi Forest, which were then given the isolate code IHP. These bacterial isolates can be utilized in industries, including organic matter decomposer agents, plant biocontrol agents, and probiotics. To ensure these bacteria are safe to use in various fields, they must be non-disease-causing (non-pathogenic). Safety evaluations based on the hemolysis reactions offer simple tests to ease the analysis of potential pathogenic bacteria. The study aimed to evaluate the safety of bacterial isolates from Pelangi Forest for their hemolysis reactions. The hemolysis test was conducted using blood agar media, from which isolates with a negative (λ) reaction. Based on the results of hemolysis tests, 30 out of 153 bacterial isolates (19.60%) were found to be negative reactions. These bacteria are safe to proceed with for potential analysis.

The current study focuses on examining the robustness of the PPP theory for a sample of 40 developing economies categorised on the basis of geographical location. For this purpose, all the data series of real exchange ratesof selected economies have been checked for stationarity by employing three different methods of panel unit root tests namely Levin, Lin and Chu, ADF-Fisher Chi-square and PP-Fisher Chi-square test. The findings support the existence of strong PPP for the groups of South Asian, South-East Asian and Latin American countries. On the contrary, the group of African and Middle Eastern nations fail to exhibit stationarity in real exchange rate and thus do not support the validity of PPP for these group of nations.This implies that external balance of an economy where PPP holds will not be influenced by long-run or short-run shocks but for the nations where the validity of PPP is rejected the internal economic shocks pose a challenge for the external economic balance of home currency exchange rate.

Infants is one of the most vulnerable group to nutritional problems. One of the immediate cause of nutritional problem in infants is improper complementary feeding and one of the underlying cause is household sanitation. Proper complementary feeding and good household sanitation are difficult to be fulfilled by poor families. This research aims to analyze the relationship between complementary feeding and household sanitation with infants’ nutritional status in urban poor families. This was a cross sectional research with total sample of 58 infants aged 6-12 months from poor households who were registered in integrated health post (Posyandu) in Gunung Anyar, Surabaya Public Health Center and randomly selected by using simple random sampling technique. Complementery feeding data was collected using questionnaire through interview, while household sanitation was determined by observation. Body weight and body length were measured using baby scale and length board. The data was analyzed statically using chi-square test. The result showed the majority of complementary feeding practice and household sanitation among urban poor families were categorized as good. Statistic test showed that there was no relationship between complementary feeding and infants’ nutritional status (p=0,259). In contrast, result found there was an association between household sanitation (p=0,031) and infants’ nutritional status in urban poor families. The conclusion of this study is that good household sanitation contribute more to infants’ nutritional status than complementary feeding. It is necessary for poor family to improve household sanitation and optimize infant’s feeding practice with varied food and healthy snack.Keywords: complementary feeding, infants, nutritional status poor family, sanitation
