Restoring urban river habitats. Lessons learned for monitoring, appraisal and management from the River Wandle, South London, UK.
Authors: Trinci Giuditta , Wharton Geraldene , Bartoletti Nicola
Published: April 2022

In recent decades, the number of urban river restoration projects has grown considerably, with schemes designed to daylight rivers and reconnect them to their floodplains and deliver a range of environmental, social and economic benefits including building flood resilience in a changing climate. However, the limited pre and post-project appraisal continues to have implications for evaluating the success of projects and improving future schemes. In this presentation we share an example of a river restoration project aimed to tackle the urban river syndrome, loss of aquatic biodiversity and habitat degradation and present the results from several post-project appraisals carried out between 2013 and 2018 that examined different aspects of the river habitat. The lessons learned from combining the findings of several studies not only informs on-going management of the Wandle but the approach can help guide the appraisal of urban rivers more widely. In particular, we show the potential of Citizen Science surveys as for identifying early warning signs of deteriorating river condition and as a foundation for long term affordable monitoring of river restoration schemes.
MULTI-BASE STATIONS BLUETOOTH LOCATION METHOD BASED ON FULL CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Cai X. , Gong Q. , Li Z. , Wen Z.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Bluetooth positioning system has attracted much attention in the field of indoor navigation due to its high precision, low power consumption and small size. In order to solve the problem that geometric analysis cannot accurately solve the tag position, a multi-base stations Bluetooth location method combined with signal space score map and full convolutional neural network is proposed in the paper. The method generates a signal space score map based on pixels. The signal space score map inputs into the trained full convolutional neural network to output the score map of label position space. The predicted label position is obtained by mapping the pixel point with the maximum value to real spatial coordinates. It's worth mentioning that the actual distance represented by two adjacent pixels is the minimum positioning accuracy. The sigmoid function is used as the activation function in the fully convolutional neural network, so the neural network can represent the predicted uncertainty of tag position in the tag position space score map. The experimental results prove that the system improves the positioning accuracy and the robustness of navigation system.
THE DEPLOYMENT OF A WI-FI POSITIONING SYSTEM VIA CROWDSOURCING

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning is widely used because of its ready hardware and high accuracy. However, its application is considerably restricted by time-consuming and labor-intensive works of offline collection and irregular fluctuation of signals. To address the above problems, we proposed a novel method to deploy the Wi-Fi fingerprint database based on implicit crowdsourcing and improved the weighted k-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm to eliminate the influence of neighbor mismatching and device heterogeneity. First, ordinary users continuously gather Wi-Fi information instead of collecting one point after another. Meanwhile, video surveillance cameras record users’ trajectories without any intervention and use monocular vision based on plane constraints to obtain users’ location at the moment of each scanning. At the localization phase, the morphology similarity distance instead of the Euclidean distance is used to measure the similarity of signals to solve the problem of device heterogeneity. Outlier detection is also utilized for a secondary selection of neighbor points. Finally, geometric and signal morphology similarity distances are used to determine the combined weight of all neighbors after the dimensionless treatment. Results of the experiments conducted in a real indoor environment show that the proposed strategy improves the efficiency of fingerprint collection and achieves higher positioning accuracy.
The status of scholarly efforts of librarians on health literacy: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Wilson Alexandria Quesenberry , Wombles Courtney , Heidel R. Eric , Grabeel Kelsey Leonard
Published: April 2022

Objective: In order to determine the status of scholarly efforts on health literacy by librarians, researchers examined the characteristics of health literacy publications authored by librarians from 2000 to 2020.
Methods: Bibliometric analysis was used to assess the indicators of productivity, affiliation, collaboration, and citation metrics of librarians in health literacy–related research. Data were collected using the Scopus database; articles were screened for inclusion before importation into Microsoft Excel for analysis. SPSS software was used to run basic descriptive statistics.
Results: Of 797 search results, 460 references met the inclusion criteria of librarian authorship. There was a significant linear trend upward in publications since 2001 with an average increase of 1.52 papers per year. The number of publications per year peaked in 2019 (n=59). Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet was the most prolific journal. The majority of references were authored by at least two authors and by multidisciplinary teams. Nineteen percent (n=107) of the librarian authors were responsible for more than one publication, and 84.1% of publications were cited at least once.
Conclusions: In the last two decades, librarian involvement in health literacy publications has exponentially increased, most markedly in the years following 2014. The productivity, multidisciplinary collaboration efforts, and consistent growth in literature indicate that librarians are engaged in health literacy scholarship. Further research is needed to explore the work of librarians whose impacts on health literacy may not be reflected within well-indexed, peer-reviewed publications.
How accurate are gender detection tools in predicting the gender for Chinese names? A study with 20,000 given names in Pinyin format
Authors: Sebo Paul
Published: April 2022

Objective: We recently showed that the gender detection tools NamSor, Gender API, and Wiki-Gendersort accurately predicted the gender of individuals with Western given names. Here, we aimed to evaluate the performance of these tools with Chinese given names in Pinyin format.
Methods: We constructed two datasets for the purpose of the study. File #1 was created by randomly drawing 20,000 names from a gender-labeled database of 52,414 Chinese given names in Pinyin format. File #2, which contained 9,077 names, was created by removing from File #1 all unisex names that we were able to identify (i.e., those that were listed in the database as both male and female names). We recorded for both files the number of correct classifications (correct gender assigned to a name), misclassifications (wrong gender assigned to a name), and nonclassifications (no gender assigned). We then calculated the proportion of misclassifications and nonclassifications (errorCoded).
Results: For File #1, errorCoded was 53% for NamSor, 65% for Gender API, and 90% for Wiki-Gendersort. For File #2, errorCoded was 43% for NamSor, 66% for Gender API, and 94% for Wiki-Gendersort.
Conclusion: We found that all three gender detection tools inaccurately predicted the gender of individuals with Chinese given names in Pinyin format and therefore should not be used in this population.

Authors: Swanberg Stephanie M. , Bulgarelli Nancy , Jayakumar Mithya , Look Erin , Shubitowski Tyler B. , Wedemeyer Rose , Yuen Emily W. , Lucia Victoria C.
Published: April 2022

Background: Public libraries serve as community centers for accessing free, trustworthy health information. As such, they provide an ideal setting to teach the local community about health and health literacy, particularly during public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2018, an outreach partnership between an academic medical library and public library has developed, delivered, and continuously evaluated a health education program targeting public library users.
Case Presentation: Health education activities were integrated into three existing public library programs: adult workshops, child and family programming, and circulating family activity kits. Prior to COVID-19, events were held at the public library, which then pivoted online during the pandemic. An interprofessional team approach combined the expertise of academic medical and public librarians, medical school faculty and staff, and medical students in developing the educational programs. Twelve in-person and five virtual programs were offered, and five circulating health education family kits were launched. Activities were assessed using program evaluation surveys of the adult and children’s programs and circulation statistics of the kits.
Conclusions: This case report showcases the lessons learned from implementing a longitudinal outreach partnership between an academic medical library and public library before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The interprofessional team approach and flexibility in program design and delivery in both the in-person and virtual environments proved critical to the success of the partnership. This partnership could serve as a model for other libraries interested in pursuing interprofessional collaborations in educating local communities on healthy behavior and health information–seeking practices.
Keep calm and carry on: moral panic, predatory publishers, peer review, and the emperor’s new clothes
Authors: Houghton Frank
Published: April 2022

The moral panic over the impact of so-called predatory publishers continues unabated. It is important, however, to resist the urge to simply join in this crusade without pausing to examine the assumptions upon which such concerns are based. It is often assumed that established journals are almost sacrosanct, and that their quality, secured by peer review, is established. It is also routinely presumed that such journals are immune to the lure of easy money in return for publication. Rather than looking at the deficits that may be apparent in the practices and products of predatory publishers, this commentary invites you to explore the weaknesses that have been exposed in traditional academic journals but are seldom discussed in the context of predatory publishing. The inherent message for health and medical services staff, researchers, academics, and students is, as always, to critically evaluate all sources of information, whatever their provenance.

The Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) conducted a readership survey in 2020 to gain a deeper understanding of our readers, their reading habits, and their satisfaction with JMLA’s content, website functionality, and overall quality. A total of 467 readers responded to the survey, most of whom were librarians/information specialists (85%), worked in an academic (62%) or hospital/health care system (27%) library, and were current Medical Library Association members (80%). Most survey respondents (46%) reported reading JMLA articles on a quarterly basis. Over half of respondents (53%) said they used social media to follow new research or publications, with Twitter being the most popular platform. Respondents stated that Original Investigations, Case Reports, Knowledge Syntheses, and Resource Reviews articles were the most enjoyable to read and important to their research and practice. Almost all respondents reported being satisfied or very satisfied (94%) with the JMLA website. Some respondents felt that the content of JMLA leaned more toward academic librarianship than toward clinical/hospital librarianship and that there were not enough articles on collection management or technical services. These opinions and insights of our readers help keep the JMLA editorial team on track toward publishing articles that are of interest and utility to our audience, raising reader awareness of new content, providing a website that is easy to navigate and use, and maintaining our status as the premier journal in health sciences librarianship.

The taxonomy of Moroccan fir Abies marocana Trab. (Pinaceae): conceptual clarifications from phylogenetic studies
Authors: Ben-Said Mariem
Published: April 2022

Western Mediterranean firs are endemic and illustrate the Tertiary flora heritage in the Mediterranean basin. Due to their morphological and anatomical similarities, the classification of certain relict firs still debated especially those belonging to the Piceaster section. Moroccan fir Abies marocana is one of these taxa whose taxonomy has remained unresolved for a long time. Many authors recognized two species in the Rif Mountains A. marocana and A. tazaotana while others considered these taxa as varieties or subspecies of A. pinsapo. Recently, several biometrical and molecular studies contributed to a better understanding of their phyletic relationships. In this review, the main findings of recent studies are synthetized with the aim of shedding light on the evolution of the taxonomical position of Moroccan relict fir. The main hypotheses explaining the phylogenetic relationships between Moroccan and Spanish firs are also discussed. The results converged towards the separation of Moroccan and Spanish firs at the species level, while they did not support the distinction between A. marocana and A. tazaotana as different species.

Authors: Patil. V Nilma , T Ilanchezhian. , Y Mahale Aarti.
Published: April 2022

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality across the world. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared cardiovascular disease as a modern epidemic. The common electrolyte abnormalities are hyponatremia, hypokalemia and in calcium ion. Several mechanisms interact to produce these alterations. The decrease in cardiac output leads directly to a reduction in renal blood flow, with impairment of renal excretion of water and electrolytes, and it causes the activation of several neurohormonal responses which affect both cardiovascular homeostasis and electrolyte balance. Electrolytes were measured with a benchtop AA (Modular ISE 900-Modul, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany. Electrolytes instrument works on the principle of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs).
The main aim of the study was to find the electrolytes level alternations in the cardiovascular disease. We observed that cardiovascular diseases patients having at high risk for electrolytes depletion. Patients with heart failure may exhibit hyponatremia due to a decrease in water excretion, which may be related to the enhanced release of both angiotensin and vasopressin and can be exaggerated by diuretic therapy. Along with potassium and calcium that influences cardiovascular function. The two most important electrolytes are potassium and calcium. They are both vitally concerned with proper function of the cardiac muscle. Both electrolytes are needed in the proper amounts for contraction of the muscle and for the proper conduction of heart impulses through the special conduction pathway in the heart. Therefore, these findings should warrant the clinician to address for the recovery from CVD.

Published: April 2022

The catalytic performances of activated alumina and its supported alkali metal carbonate catalysts for the reaction of thiophenol with dimethyl carbonate to prepare thioanisole (PhSMe) were investigated on a fixed bed reactor under the condition of atmospheric pressure. The properties of activated alumina and its loading alkali metal carbonate catalysts were characterized via IR, BET and XRD. The effect of loading amount of alkali metal carbonate, calcination temperature, reaction temperature and liquid volume hourly space velocity (LVHSV) of reactants on the catalytic performances of the catalysts was also examined. The yield of PhSMe was 93.5% when activated alumina was used as catalyst alone at 120 °C, however, the catalytic activities of the catalysts after loading 5-15 wt% K2CO3 were greatly improved, and the yield of PhSMe was 99-100%. Compared to activated alumina, the catalytic performances of catalysts after loading different alkali metal carbonate are greatly improved. The improvement of catalytic performance can be attributed to that carbonate may occupy the Lewis acid sites of the activated alumina surface, making it easier for the catalyst to activate thiophenol, thus giving benzenethiolate a stronger nucleophilic attack ability. The results of FTIR analysis show that the characteristic peaks of carbonate are blue shifted, also indicating that carbonate reacted with the surface of activated alumina. The Lewis basic site on the surface of the activated alumina is believed to play a crucial role.

The present work describes a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) assay with diode array detection (DAD) for the determination of rhein, an active metabolite of diacerein, in spiked rabbit plasma. The plasma samples were subjected to one-step liquid-liquid extraction using a protein precipitating agent. The separation of rhein was achieved on an RP C18 hypersil-ODS column (250×4.6mm, 5μm). The mobile phase consisted of a binary mixture of methanol and water (15: 85 v/v, pH 4.7) run under the isocratic system at a flow rate of 1 ml.min-1, the wavelength of DAD was set at 210 nm. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, and stability according to the International Council for Harmonization (ICH guidelines). The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.015-5 µg. ml-1 for rhein with the coefficient of regression (r2) of value 0.9980. Extraction recovery for rhein from rabbit plasma was in the range of 95.0% to 98.60% to different sample concentrations. The retention time of rhein was observed at 5.34 min. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 5 ng.ml-1 and 15 ng.ml-1 respectively. The assay method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of diacerein plain aqueous dispersion in albino rabbits.
The impact of inter-organisational network structures on research outcomes for artificial intelligence technologies
Authors: Isada Fumihiko
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study is to empirically explore the impact of inter-organizational network structures, such as alliances, on the research outcomes of artificial intelligence technologies during the adoption and diffusion phases of their lifecycle. The optimal inter-organizational network structure varies depending on the characteristics of the technology, industry and product. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is rapidly being put to practical use, especially in the last few years, in a wide range of business domains, due to improvements in hardware performance and the increasing collection and use of big data. In collecting and using big data, collaboration among multiple organizations can be more advantageous than activities by a single organization, and the relationships among organizations are thought to have an impact on the expansion of research results. Nevertheless, the optimal structure of inter-organisational relations is thought to be influenced by the characteristics of the industry and products that use artificial intelligence technology, so we collected actual cases and carried out exploratory analysis. As a research method, we collected information about the cooperation between organizations related to artificial intelligence from press releases and newspaper articles, and analyzed the network structure between the organizations by supporting the method of social network analysis. The number of registered patents on artificial intelligence was used as an index of the research results. As a result of the statistical analysis, the research results of the organizations with weak network ties were large, mainly in the basic technology area. On the other hand, in the practical technology, there were some areas where the strong network of ties led to high research results.

Authors: Eger Ludvík
Published: April 2022

Digital transformation is just as much about people as it is about technology. Little research has been done on the gap between the competencies required in research surveys and business students' points of view. This research explores business university students' perception of the competencies needed for digital transformation. Using the Delphi technique followed by focus groups, the research attempted to capture student perception in depth. The findings revealed that university students of business study programs assess higher level behavioural competencies and technological competencies rank lower, but both domains only by weak consensus. In conclusion, the research also highlights the need for development of specific required technical competencies to meet the business point of view in HEIs programs and to fill the current gap.

Education is a fundamentally important issue for the prosperity and sustainable economic development of the country. A quality education system is a necessary condition for the improvement of personal, professional and public life. World experience shows that countries that pay more attention to raising the level of education are developing faster and achieving better living conditions. World experience shows that countries that pay more attention to raising the level of education develop faster and achieve better living conditions.
Getting an education is a continuous process of human life. One of the key roles in this process is played by university education. The main function of the university is to prepare a person to start a professional activity and to develop such skills that will help in career advancement. The question of whether universities are able to provide a qualified workforce for the labor market is relevant and controversial not only in the Georgian reality, but also globally. In many cases, universities provide students with some theoretical knowledge as well as basic skills, but this is not enough. To succeed in the modern global economic system, universities must focus on improving students' communication skills, critical and analytical thinking. It is important that they create a learning environment that helps students adapt easily to the work environment. Universities should provide young people with the knowledge, skills and competencies relevant to the demands of the modern labor market.
In the paper, on the example of Tbilisi State University, it was studied to what extent Georgian universities are ready to train a qualified workforce. In addition, major problems in the teaching process were identified and recommendations were developed to improve the quality of teaching and to develop programs that will help university graduates build successful careers in the labor market.

Density Space Clustering Algorithm Based on Users Behaviors
Authors: Boqing Feng Boqing Feng , Boqing Feng Mohan Liu , Mohan Liu Jiuqiang Jin
Published: April 2022

At present, insider threat detection requires a series of complex projects, and has certain limitations in practical applications; in order to reduce the complexity of the model, most studies ignore the timing of user behavior and fail to identify internal attacks that last for a period of time. In addition, companies usually categorize the behavior data generated by all users and store them in different databases. How to collaboratively process large-scale heterogeneous log files and extract characteristic data that accurately reflects user behavior is a difficult point in current research. In order to optimize the parameter selection of the DBSCAN algorithm, this paper proposes a Psychometric Data & Attack Threat Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (PD&AT-DBSCAN). This algorithm can improve the accuracy of clustering results. The simulation results show that this algorithm is better than the traditional DBSCAN algorithm in terms of Rand index and normalized mutual information.

O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a percepção de técnicos em saúde bucal (TSB) do Sistema Único de Saúde sobre a realização de cursos de capacitação voltados à prevenção da cárie dentária. Participaram desta pesquisa nove TSB pertencentes à 15ª Regional de Saúde da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Paraná, após assinarem o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. As entrevistas semiestruturadas foram realizadas face a face, audiogravadas in loco e realizadas até o ponto de saturação dos dados. A transcrição das gravações foi realizada de forma manual e as falas foram avaliadas segundo o método da análise de conteúdo, proposta por Bardin, utilizando-se o software Visual Qualitative Data Analysis Atlas.ti 8.0. Os fatores facilitadores que se destacaram nas falas foram: oferta de curso de capacitação, apreço ao conhecimento, oportunidade de troca de experiências e motivação para melhorar o cuidado. Além disso, emergiram barreiras, como: falta de oportunidade de realizar cursos de capacitação e motivação. Assim, oportunizar a participação dos técnicos em saúde bucal em cursos de capacitação é uma estratégia necessária para o desenvolvimento do potencial individual e coletivo da equipe de saúde bucal, visando a manutenção da saúde bucal da população.

Cryptococcal infections (Cryptococcosis) are fatal fungal infections typically caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, a saprophyte frequently found in soil contaminated with  pigeon droppings and frequently seen in immunocompromised (specifically HIV Positive) individuals. Now a day’s awareness is emerging on cryptococcal disease among non-immunocompromised patients also. We present a case of Cryptococcus meningitis (CM) in a patient with cardiopulmonary arrest. A 55 year old male patient came with history of headache and fever with neck rigidity since last 3 months. The patient was admitted as a case of CM based on clinical findings and radiological features. Investigations were done to rule out other disorders of the immune system. He was treated with Amphotericine B (IV) and Fluconazole orally for 2 weeks. Culture of CSF was done which showed presence of Cryptococcus neoformans. It is concluded from the findings that Cryptococcus may also affect non-HIV patients regardless to their immune system.

To compare the levels of salivary Interleukin 6 between oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma. After ethical clearance and informed consent, the saliva samples were collected from 20 patients of OPMD’S, 20 patients of OSCC and 10 controls. Salivary IL-6 levels were detected by enzyme linked Immunosorbent essay and appropriate statistical analysis was done. Significant differences in IL-6 concentration between OSCC, OPMD’S and controls were noted. Salivary IL-6 levels were higher in OSCC. The results of  present study concluded that the level of salivary IL-6 in OSCC is significantly higher than oral potentially malignant disorders like OSMF and oral epithelial dysplasia and controls. This biomarker can be utilized as a major asset for early detection of cancer and can open a new horizon for treatment plans of targeted therapy.

There is a close relationship between environment and life because destruction of the environment would lead to the destruction of all the living creatures, including human beings. Regrettably, recent years have witnessed an unprecedented industrial and technological advancement which on one side may be of great benefit for human welfare but has brought in its wake colossal problem of environmental pollution. The dawn of the 20th century brought a new kind of air pollution in its wake due to the modernization of the transportation system and the large-scale use of petrol and diesel as fuels. Motor vehicles are a significant source of urban air pollution and are increasingly important contributors of various anthropogenic pollutants having deleterious effect on environment and human health. The vehicular pollution assumes special significance in Jammu city owing to constant increase in level of air pollutants resulting in its categorisation under ‘non-attainment’ city and a rapid increase in the fleet of vehicles moves in and around the city.  Numerous national and international studies revealed the growth of diseases in the last few years, and the impact on life expectancy rate of Jammuites due to breathing polluted air.
