3D Printing in Makerspaces: Health and Safety Concerns.
Authors: Bharti Neelam
Published: July 2022

3D (three-dimensional) printing is included in makerspaces around the world and has become increasingly affordable and useful. Most makerspaces use Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)-based 3D printers, using polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as printing materials. However, heating PLA and ABS to high temperatures emits ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds, which are potentially harmful and raise health and safety concerns. This paper discusses the health and safety hazards posed by 3D printing and presents recommendations to minimize the effects of these hazards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Identifying Potential Solutions to Increase Discoverability and Reuse of Analog Datasets in Various Campus Locations.
Authors: Farrell Shannon L. , Kelly Julia Ann
Published: July 2022

Describing, preserving, and providing access to data is now the purview of many science librarians, although the emphasis has been on data in electronic format. Data in paper or analog format might be found in many places around our campuses. At the University of Minnesota we conducted a preliminary investigation of analog data through discussions with faculty, staff, and the University Archives. We identified data in numerous locations, including the University Archives, personal collections, departmental holdings, museums, and off-campus research stations. We discovered data in many formats and carried out a few initial projects including creating a detailed inventory of one research center's analog data and digitizing and depositing one individual's dissertation data in our institutional repository. We also examined University Archives and discovered substantial amounts of analog data along with problems such as incomplete description or context. Overall we have identified several challenges and directions that we could take to make analog data more findable and available for reuse, but there is no clear single path forward.

Managing Research Data: Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Researcher Perspectives
Authors: Wiley Christie , Kerby Erin E.
Published: July 2022

The authors conducted six focus group semi-structured interviews consisting of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers within the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in order to understand their roles within research groups and their ability to manage research data. More specifically, participants were asked how they manage, organize, and describe data, as well as the challenges they face in these activities. This study revealed graduate students primarily discuss managing research data in terms of the software they use and that their focus is task specific. Additionally, the language and concepts librarians use in conversations about data management creates a barrier to understanding for graduate students. This study confirms that there is a significant disconnect between the faculty members who design and direct research projects and the graduate students and postdoctoral researchers that do the front-line work. This study helped identify that more data management engagement, interaction, and instruction within research groups is needed. Acknowledging this will allow librarians to develop more meaningful data management instruction and enhance the research data support services provided to faculty.
Comparison of Selected Bibliographic Database Subject Overlap for Agricultural Information
Authors: Ritchie Stephanie M. , Young Lauren M. , Sigman Jessica
Published: July 2022

Agricultural researchers and science librarians must understand which research literature databases provide the most comprehensive coverage of agricultural subjects to support their inquiries. Once the domain of a few specialized databases, agricultural research literature is now covered by broad, multidisciplinary databases. The purpose of this study is to determine the most comprehensive database(s) for agricultural literature searching. We compared the coverage of eight bibliographic databases for a range of agricultural sub-topics to determine how much overlap exists and which database(s) best support discovery of agricultural research literature. We found that the multidisciplinary databases provided the most comprehensive coverage, along with one of the agriculture-specific databases. This study will help researchers and librarians determine where to invest their effort and resources when looking to find agricultural research content.

Authors: Sherriff Graham , Gjeltema Micah
Published: July 2022

Advice for librarians' professional development sometimes includes encouragement to attend classes, but the benefits for STEM librarians have not been well defined. This article describes a study in which engineering librarians at the University of Vermont and Montana Tech of the University of Montana observed class sessions across first-year engineering programs. The study provided numerous insights into the orientational design of these programs, the scope of the curriculum, building relationships with different groups, the importance of relating instruction to professional success, opportunities for integrating library services, and the ability of non-expert librarians to support STEM programs. This article also provides suggested best practices for an observational project of this kind.
When Do Veterinary Medical Students Study? Understanding Student Study Habits to Inform Library Operating Hours.
Authors: Eldermire Erin R. B.
Published: July 2022

Many libraries have expanded their opening hours to a 24/5 or 24/7 model. But does this reflect when students actually study? Little evidence about when medical or professional students study is available. By mounting a prominently placed poster with a graphical timeline that students could affix self-adhesive dots upon, the Flower-Sprecher Veterinary Library gathered students' preferred study times on different days of the week (Monday-Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). The students reported their most active study times as Monday-Thursday between 4:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., peaking at 8:00 p.m., and the fewest study times on Fridays. The poster results informed our decision that it would be of minimal benefit to student users to change library operating hours to a 24/7 model. This user-feedback method can be replicated in a variety of settings to provide quick and easy input to inform library decision-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information Portals: A New Tool for Teaching Information Literacy Skills.
Authors: Kolah Debra , Fosmire Michael
Published: July 2022

Librarians at Rice and Purdue Universities created novel assignments to teach students important information literacy skills. The assignments required the students to use a third-party web site, PageFlakes and NetVibes, respectively, to create a dynamically updated portal to information they needed for their research and class projects. The use of off-the-shelf web 2.0 technology to enable students to discover the latest information in their subject areas of interest provides an engaging, hands-on environment with immediate feedback on the quality of their searching. The authors provide a basic introduction to the use of the 'portal' web site. Then, the results of using this technique, for graduate students in physics in one case and junior/senior level undergraduates in the other, are analyzed, and recommendations for the integration of this type of assignment in other courses are given.

Evaluation of an Audience Response System in Library Orientations for Engineering Students.
Authors: Brush Denise A.
Published: July 2022

While interactive hands-on instruction is usually considered the best approach for engineering students for both their academic courses and for library instruction, the size of the engineering student population compared to the number of instructors and the available classroom space means that engineering librarians, like engineering faculty, may have to use a lecture format. One way to inject some interactivity into engineering library orientations is a new instructional technology popular in university science and math classrooms called an "audience response system." This article will describe and evaluate the success of the use of an audience response system for first-year engineering library instruction at Rowan University. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Biological Effect of Laser on Dental Hard Tissues Review
Authors: Al Shakarchi Sally Adnan Abdulhameed , Issam Aseel
Published: July 2022

Laser absorption in biological tissue is mostly owing to the existence of free water molecule, protein, pigment and other macromolecule. Absorbed laser can have three different consequences: photothermal, photomechanical and photochemical. The effect of laser on enamel at a low energy density may become more resistant to acid dissolution. While laser was used on dentine to limited thermal effect and reduce dentine sensitivity with energy irradiation. However, the laser irradiation result in more extensive pulp damage and reparative dentinogenesis was delayed . Root specimens have exhibited higher rates of inhibition of caries like lesion progression and resistance to acid dissolution than those seen in enamel specimens, after combined laser fluoride treatment.
[10]-Gingerol from Zingiber Officinale Reduces Oxidative Stress via the ERK/Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway in Human Keratinocytes
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Guon Tae Eun , Chung Ha Sook
Published: July 2022

The present study was designed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of bioactive components against mild oxidative stress in human keratinocytes (HaCaTs). Solvent extraction and fractionation of the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale resulted in the isolation of [10]-gingerol. At concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 µM [10]-gingerol dose-dependently increased HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) mRNA and protein levels, with a significant effect at 5 µM. This augmentation of HO-1 by [10]-gingerol was attributed to the upregulation of Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2), which markedly reduced the cytoplasmic stability of Keap1 (kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1). Furthermore, our findings indicate that the upregulation of HO-1 by [10]-gingerol increased resistance to mild oxidative stress, suggesting that [10]-gingerol might enhance the activities of antioxidant enzymes by stimulating Nrf2. Our experimental findings indicate that the mild attenuating effect of [10]-gingerol against oxidative stress involves the ERK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
A Brief Study on the System of Tea Meditation Practice
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Seo Hwa-Kyo
Published: July 2022

This study is about the system that must be equipped for Tea Meditation to take place in the field of meditation. A meditation system must be established as there must be a purpose for meditation, and there must be a departure, direction, method, and step to reach the goal. Tea Meditation has an independent meditation system. The Tea Meditation system consists of four stages: recognition of life-and-death distress, a desire to eliminate the cause of distress, a state in which the cause of destination distress is completely extinguished, and intuition and reasoning, which are means of recognition, imagination, and story. As a simulation method to understand and establish such a tea meditation system, the meditation garden of mindfulness is the first stage of meditation. The second stage is a garden of Tea Meditation for insight into thought, and the Garden of Tea Meditation of Enlightenment is the third stage. Lastly, there is a garden of tea meditation of love and compassion, which is the stage of harmony. The Tea Meditation emerged in the Korean tea ceremony's atmosphere, which is a reflection of the present era. Tea Meditation is a new meditation culture mediated by tea, which will help popularize tea culture in the future.
The Universal and the National in Education (through a prism of personal experience)
Authors: LİASHCHOVA Liudmila
Published: July 2022

Along with traditional issues, educationalists nowadays raise many new ones, among them is the correlation of the universal and the national education patterns relating to the ratio of teaching and learning, instruction and upbringing. The emphasis of on learning and instruction is more characteristic of modern education theories of English-speaking countries while in Russian speaking countries they still pay particular attention at educational establishments to teaching and upbringing alongside with guided and independent learning. It is revealed in the article how the content of the major national trends in the education discourse on these topics is influenced not only by historical and cultural environment but also by the language factors, particularly by etymology of the correlative basic educational terms related to education, teaching, and learning in English and Russian and their position in the lexical subsystems. Some concerns about speech communication skills in education of the 21-st century are expressed.

Existe um Ethos Cristão?
Authors: Leers Bernardino
Published: July 2022

A pergunta: “Existe um ethos cristão?” condiciona duas maneiras de aproximação, aparentemente opostas, na realidade complementares. A primeira maneira seria tentar responder à pergunta. Tal caminho significa tomar conhecimento da literatura extensa que nos últimos decénios foi escrita sobre este tema, resumir as posições tomadas pelos diversos autores, classificá-las segundo uma escala que varia de “sim-existe” até “não-existe”, acrescentando eventualmente uma avaliação crítica ou mais outra opinião às muitas já existentes e analisadas. A segunda maneira parece menos reverente, pois seria jogar de volta a pergunta, como se fosse uma bola de ténis, e interrogar a interrogação, ou melhor, interrogar o cristão que, situado num certo condicionamento cultural e em determinada época, começa a colocar um ponto de interrogação atrás da segurança de posse dum ethos cristão que durante os últimos séculos acompanhou tranquilamente a consciência histórica da Igreja católica e consolidou-se numa verdadeira genealogia de manuais de teologia moral...

Significant Improvement in Rainfall Forecast over Delhi: Annual and Seasonal Verification
Authors: Srivastava Kuldeep
Published: July 2022

Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC) New Delhi has the responsibility to issue and disseminate rainfall forecast for Delhi. So it is very important to scientifically verify the rainfall forecast issued by RWFC. In this study rainfall forecast verification of Delhi has been carried out annually and season wise for the period 2011 to 2021. Various statistical parameters such as Percentage Correct (PC), Probability of Detection (POD), Missing Ratio (MR), False Alarm Ratio (FAR), Critical Success Index (CSI), True Skill Statistics (TSS) and Heidke Skill Score (HSS) have been calculated for season wise and annually. A forecast is considered to be improved if PC, POD, CSI, TSS and HSS increase and FAR and MR decrease over a period of time. The author can conclude that annual accuracy of forecast has increased significantly over the period of time from 2011 to 2021, as PC, POD, CSI, TSS and HSS increase and FAR and MR decrease over a period of time. Maximum contribution in the improved forecast has observed in transition season (pre-monsoon season followed by post-monsoon, having rainfall activity mainly in association with thunderstorms), when FAR and MR have decreased drastically.

Background: Global understanding of surgical outcome is still limited, with data lacking in some areas of the world. Global studies most times are dominated by data sourced from high income and developed countries. Aim: This study is aimed at evaluating the differential surgical outcomes in a Health Institution in Nigeria, to help understand how patients develop postoperative complications and the severity of such complications. Methods: We recruited 200 patients that were booked for elective or emergency in-hospital or day case surgery. The patients were followed up for maximum of 30 days postoperatively. Perioperative outcomes were evaluated. Results: The majority of the participants were in ASA II class (46%), while the others were in class ASA III (31%), ASA I (20%) and ASA IV (3%). There were 35% participants that had intraoperative complication, while 29% had postoperative complication. The rate of ICU admission was 5%, while the duration of postoperative ICU and hospital stay were 1.7±0.90 days and 13.28±2.97 days respectively. Surgical related mortality rate was 3%. Conclusion: The findings show that despite the high intraoperative complication rate of 35%, postoperative complication rate of 29% and critical care admission rate of 5%, mortality rate (3%) was the same with other global studies.

Introduction: The need to report any suspicion of child abuse is imperative for the medical practitioner. The general objective of our study is to describe the types of reporting of child victims of abuse suffered by children in some referral hospitals in Yaoundé. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, i.e., 5 years, in 4 referral hospitals in Yaoundé. All records of victims of abuse under 18 years of age were included. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using Epi-info TM version 7.2 software. Ethical clearance was obtained to conduct our study. Results: Of the 132 victims in our study, the alleged perpetrator was known in 53.0% of cases (70/132). Reporting was done in 48.5% (64/132) of cases and was more frequent if the alleged perpetrator was known (40/70; 57.1%). The administrative reporting procedure predominated over the judicial one, 57.8% (37/64) and 42.2% (27/64) respectively. The arrest of the presumed perpetrator was done only in 23.4% (15/64) of cases, followed by a conviction in 46.7% of cases, i.e. a conviction rate of 5.3% (7/132). The return to the victim's family occurred nearly 8 times/10 (105/132; 79.5%). Conclusion: Reporting was done in less than half of the cases of child maltreatment resulting in a conviction in about 5 cases out of 100. Training and awareness of the practitioner remains a cornerstone in the fight against this scourge

Authors: Foluso Mary IBIYEMI  , Oluwafemi Ojo JULIUS
Published: July 2022

Palm oil industry is currently a world leader in the supply of oils and fats which constitutes one of the major sectors of the highest economic importance in Nigeria. This study investigates the lipolytic activity of microorganisms isolated from palm oil processing cottage industries in Ekiti State. Soil samples were taken from a depth of 10 – 15 cm in six different locations within Ekiti State, Nigeria. Microorganisms were isolated from the effluents and identified using standard microbiological techniques and molecular characterization. The microbial isolates were screened for lipase production using modified mineral salt medium in submerged fermentation. Lipase production by the isolates was assessed by halo zone of clearance on nutrient agar plates after incubation at 37oC for 24 hours. The strains of molecularly identified bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa AE016853.1; P. syringae CP019871.1 and P. putida JQ782512.1. From this study, the microorganisms (P. aeruginosa, P. syringae and P. putida) isolated from the selected palm oil processing sites display high potential of lipase production. The lipase produced from the Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited high lypolytic activities. The POMEs could serve as source of bacteria for the production of lipases of commercial uses.

Annak ellenére, hogy a hátország kifejezés a katonai és a polgári közegben is széles körben használatos, értelmezése azonban nemzet- közi terminológiai egyezmények hiányában és a nyelvi különbségekből fakadóan korántsem egységes. Miután az utóbbi időszakban a hátországvédelem kérdése különös érdeklődést élvez szakmai körökben, ezért jelen tanulmányban röviden bemutatjuk, hogy a hátország miként jelent meg a különböző hadelméleti munkákban és a katonai szakterminológiában.
Az összekötő szolgálat anyagi-technikai ellátása és gazdálkodása
Authors: Ternyák István , Mikita János
Published: July 2022

A magyar katonai híradásnak a szabadságharccal kezdődő és az első világháború befejezéséig tartó története több részre tagozódik, amelyek közül az egyik, a ma is tanulságokkal szolgáló része az anyagi- technikai ellátás és gazdálkodás rendszere. Ez a hetven év történetileg is rendkívül változatos volt, kezdve a szabadságharccal, majd folytatva annak leverésével, a kiegyezéssel és a végén a világháborúval. A kezdeti személyi – futár és küldönc – és a táboriposta-összeköttetések mellett meghatározóvá váltak az elektromos távíró-, távbeszélő-, optikai távjelző- és rádiókapcsolatok. A szerzők több szempontból – így az időszak háborúit, az állami távközlés dinamikus fejlődését, a hazai ipari hátteret, a hazai és közös költségvetést, a katonai szállítás, anyagellátás rendszerét és a hadtáp vezetési rendszerét felvillantva – elemzik a szakterület helyzetét.

An early detection of disease can save the plant. One of the ways is by using eye-observation, which is time-consuming. Having a machine learning technology that can automate early detection would benefit modern and conventional farming. This study emphasizes the review of Hyperspectral Image (HSI) reconstruction using the Hierarchical Synthesis Convolutional Neural Networks (HSCNN) based method in early plant disease detection. Capturing hundreds of spectral bands during image acquisition enables the HSI capturing devices to provide more detailed information. Detection of disease with Red Green Blue (RGB) images needs to be done when it shows a notable spot or sign. However, the disease can be spotted with the correct range of spectral bands on HSI before a notable spot or sign is shown. The usage of HSI image is significantly important as it is rich in information and properties needed for image detection. Although HSI device is significantly important in early plant disease detection, the devices are expensive and require specialized hardware and expertise. Thus, reconstructing the Reg Green Blue (RGB) image to HSI is required. This research implemented two types of HSCNN-based methods, Densed network (HSCNN-D) and Rectified Linear Unit network (HSCNN-R), for HSI reconstructions. The results show that HSCNN-D outperformed the HSCNN-R with less Mean Relative Absolute Error (MRAE) of 2.15%.

Hydroponic is one of the solutions of gardening methods using water as a nutrition medium. Usually, maintaining hydroponic plant quality and water nutrients are done manually and require human efforts, such as the degree of acidity or wetness (pH), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), and nutrient temperature. With the Internet of Things technology, we can automate hydroponic control by measuring the nutrients' TDS, pH, and temperature values and controlling water nutrition by pump nutrition needs for hydroponic plants. This research uses the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) for the hydroponic system and uses lettuce as the nutrition parameter. The lettuce parameters are pH, TDS, and Water Temperature equal to the sensor we used in the proposed IoT system. The condition has 27 classifications, and we use this classification as a reference in decision-making, using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm to activate the actuator. We improve the simultaneous actuator from previous research with specified intervals and duration to achieve ideal nutritional conditions. The other improvement is that we collect more data and more testing times. The accuracy was 91.2%, with k = 3. From the evaluation results, the accuracy of KNN is quite high and has an advantage, which has better accuracy than the other algorithms and can activate actuator simultaneously. We conclude that the hydroponic nutrient automation system using the Internet of Things method is ready for real planting use with this improvement.
Siapa yang Bertanggung Jawab atas Tulah Kesepuluh? Sebuah Pertimbangan Etis-Teologis Terhadap Teks Keluaran 11-12

Abstract. The story of the tenth plague in the narrative of the liberation of the Israelites from Egypt in Exodus 11:1-12:36, cannot be used as a paradigm that applies to all situations and conditions, including the situation when the Indonesian people were facing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The text seems to be the encounter of various theological thoughts related to theodicy, monism and dualism. Therefore, what needs to be done is a close reading of the text to disclose its difficulty. Instead of spending energy trying to figure out who is responsible for calamities or pandemics, it is better to deal with them by following health protocols and using common sense.Abstrak. Kisah tulah kesepuluh dalam narasi pembebasan umat Israel dari Mesir di teks Keluaran 11:1-12:36, tidak bisa dijadikan paradigma yang berlaku bagi semua situasi dan kondisi, termasuk situasi ketika bangsa Indonesia menghadapi dampak wabah Covid-19. Teks tersebut tampaknya merupakan hasil dari pertemuan berbagai pemikiran teologis yang berkaitan dengan teodise, monisme dan dualisme. Maka yang perlu dilakukan adalah pembacaan yang cermat terhadap teks, dalam rangka memperlihatkan kesulitan ini. Daripada menghabiskan energi untuk mencari jawaban siapa yang bertanggung jawab terhadap bencana atau wabah, lebih baik menghadapinya dengan menjalankan protokol kesehatan dan memakai akal sehat.
