Published: January 2024

Librarians involved in assisting researchers with planning, execution and documentation of systematic literature searches are well aware of the considerable amount of practice required to conduct reliable, transparent, and reproducible literature searches. In addition to building the necessary skills and knowledge, factors such as changes in databases, updates in standards or methodologies, and development of new tools makes it difficult to keep up to date. In response an online community of practice has been established in Norway to serve as a platform for facilitating knowledge sharing in these areas. However, building and maintaining an active community is not an easy task. This article describes the development, the activities, the challenges, and the possible future for the community.

Published: January 2024

Three years after the launch of the new release of the PubMed database and new platform for searching clinical trials "Clinicaltrials.gov", GIDIF Academy organized a course aimed at biomedical documentarians and librarians. These portals, with free access, are known to the scientific community as the reference for bibliographic research of information in scientific literature.
In the classroom, the high motivation of the participants was further powered by the careful analysis of the modernization innovations proposed by the NLM for the two platforms.
The speakers, interacting lively with the learners, highlighted the strengths and analysed the fragilities of the two systems with the aim of finding possible solutions to obtain effective and safe queries; finally, the collection of opinions offered ideas and room for improvement in the performance of the platforms themselves.

Authors: Mehra Nindiya , Bhatia Aishwarya , Ayis Salma , Kordowicz Maria , Hack-Polay Dieu , Akilan Viknesh , Prasad Vibhore
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder is common, affecting 1% of people. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is often delayed, which limits access to effective treatment and increases the burden of disease on individuals, families, and society.

AIM: This paper investigates the individual, social, and clinical factors that contribute to delays in diagnosis for people with bipolar disorder, including delays that occur before and after a person presents to a primary care clinician.

DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review and narrative synthesis.

METHOD: Four electronic databases - Embase, Medline, PsychInfo, and Global Health - were systematically searched. This search yielded 3078 studies, 21 of which met the inclusion criteria. The data retrieved were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s Thematic Analysis to report a summary of recent research on the delays in the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

RESULTS: Analysis of the data from the 21 studies identified five main themes as reasons for delays in diagnosis: (1) misdiagnosis, (2) healthcare challenges, (3) mental health stigma, (4) the complex nature of bipolar disorder, and (5) individual factors.

CONCLUSIONS: The review demonstrates the importance of educating individuals, families, and clinicians on the symptomology of bipolar disorder to avoid misdiagnosis. Furthermore, changes in the accessibility and delivery of mental health services are essential to ensure that people with bipolar disorder are diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. In addition, mental health stigma among individuals, families, and clinicians must be addressed to reduce diagnostic delays.

Authors: Cambe Steve Marlo , Arañas Joseph Anthony , Manzana Jamie Lynne , Manlapaz Katleya Teresa
Published: January 2024

Objective: To determine the risk of malignancy of Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) indeterminate Thyroid  Nodules (Bethesda III, IV and V) by combining cytologic (TSBRTC) and Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TI-RADS) ultrasonographic features based on final histopathology.
Methods:Design: Retrospective review of recordsSetting: Tertiary Private Training HospitalParticipants: 551 recordsResults: Among 81 eligible participants, 59 out of 84 nodules (70.24%) wer malignant on histopathology. The malignancy risk of Bethesda classification was 60.87% (28 out of 46) for Bethesda III, 57.14% (8 out of 14) for Bethesda IV and 95.83% for Bethesda V. The malignancy risk for TI-RADS categories was 0 % (0/1) for TI-RADS 2, 50% (10 out of 20) for TI-RADS 3, 71.05 % for TI-RADS 4 and 91.67 % for TI-RADS 5. The highest risk of malignancy (100%) was associated with [Bethesda IV/TI-RADS 1, 2, and 3], [Bethesda V/TI-RADS 1, 2 and 3 [Bethesda IV and V/TI-RADS 1, 2 and 3] and [Bethesda IV/TI-RADS 5]. The lowest risk of malignancy (33.33%) was associated with [Bethesda III/TI-RADS1, 2 and 3]. A high Bethesda classification (Bethesda V) was almost 5x more likely to have a malignant anatomorphology compared with Bethesda III (p = .05) while a TI-RADS 4 or 5 category was almost 5x more likely to have a malignant anatomorphology compared to TI-RADS 1, 2 or 3 (p = .026).
Conclusion: This study showed that TI-RADS scoring is a sensitive diagnostic classification in recognizing patients with thyroid cancer and combining Bethesda classification and TI-RADS scoring increases the sensitivity in the diagnosis of malignant thyroid nodules. A higher likelihood of malignancy is associated with higher Bethesda classification and TI-RADS scoring.

Complex processing geophysical survey and selection of methods for detailing the geological structure of mega-reservoirs (Hayan block, of the Palmyride fold belt)
Authors: Schuster V. L. , Tyukavkina O. V. , Kartal I.
Published: January 2024

Background. An analysis was conducted out to establish the boundaries of the Kurrachi-Dolomite formation reservoir (Jihar field, Hayan block, Palmyra fold belt). In the process of research, data from geophysical surveys of wells were used and statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out. Currently, due to the difficult situation in Syria, scientific research in this area is extremely limited.

Aim. To conduct a combined processing of geophysical well data (GWD), including by using a correlation matrix, and to assess the applicability the results obtained as an express method for interpreting geophysical data and identifying the boundaries of the Kurrachine-Dolomite formation within the Hayan block and adjacent areas.

Materials and methods. The well data for the empirical study was provided by the Syrian Petroleum Company. Correlation matrices were obtained between the following logging data: CAL, AC, GR, RD, RS, RHOB, and PE. This allowed a good correlation to be determined between their numerical values and the results of core studies, which were carried out to establish lithological characteristics and reservoir properties of the area under study (northwestern part of the Hayan block).

Results. The processed materials made it possible to select the most effective GWD combination for identifying the boundaries and fringe zones of sediments in the Kurrachine-Dolomite formation, considered as a mega reservoir, and to identify priority development objects similar in geological structure and reservoir properties.

Conclusion. The proposed method for processing field geophysical materials (construction of correlation matrices and statistical processing of geological and field data) can be used in selecting an optimal combination of GWD for establishing the reservoir boundaries of the Kurrachine-Dolomite formation, quantifying the reservoir properties, and increasing the efficiency of the Jihar field development (mega reservoir of the Hayan block).

THE FORM AND CHARACTER OF CIRCULATING GOVERNING ELITE IN NIGERIA: PAST AND PRESENT
Authors: Ojo Emmanuel Olugbade
Published: January 2024

This paper is basically an application of the famous elite perspective to the Nigerian government and politics to test whether it is a theory that can be confirmed or infirmed. The observable phenomenon which is similar to virtually all regions and climes of the world is the emergence of very few people circulating in the political space over time. From pre-colonial, to colonial and post-colonial Nigerian state, a number of elites from diverse sectors of the society – the military, politicians, civil society, business tycoons, religious leaders and traditional elites kept circulating in the political firmament of Nigeria. The paper is a confirmation of the elite theory paradigm or construct to the understanding of Nigerian government and politics. The paper however noted that if nothing changes the required leap from a developing status of Nigeria as a country to developed one may take time after all more so that the country needs new thinking and perspectives to be able to adapt to modern technological era. The paper infers that there is an imperatival need to opening up of the political space to accommodate vibrant youths and new set of elites that can drive the polity to a greater height with new innovative thinking.
Social enterprises and their ecosystems
Authors: Račić Domagoj , Damaška Paula
Published: January 2024

Social enterprises in many countries face a lack of legal recognition and insufficient institutional and financial support. Ecosystems that support their emergence and development are thus weak. Social enterprises respond to important societal challenges that are relevant to multiple stakeholders at different territorial levels (local, national and international). This multi-territorial nature of stakeholder networks in which social enterprises are embedded is also related to the ecosystem gaps, which prompt social enterprises to overcome weaknesses at one territorial level by utilising opportunities at other levels, and thereby seek overall viability and impact on society. The paper outlines a conceptual framework for the process of managing stakeholder networks within social enterprise ecosystems. That entails identification of key stakeholders (defined by their level of salience, based on Mitchell, Age and Wood, 1997) and the material and symbolic resources a social enterprise obtains from them and/or provides to them. The framework is applied to a case study of the Green Energy Cooperative (GEC) from Croatia. GEC was founded to facilitate local communities and citizens in the planning, development, management and financing of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency projects. However, given the underdevelopment of the relevant ecosystem in Croatia, fulfilling this ‘localised’ mission also simultaneously required strategic engagement of GEC with policymakers at the national level, as well as with EU and other international funding sources and advocacy organisations. Each of these territorial dimensions (related to local projects, national policies and international funding and advocacy) involves relationships with multiple stakeholders which need to be developed and maintained over time, if viability and impact are to be achieved.
A Amazônia foi colonizada pelo Brasil?

Published: January 2024

Em 2023, celebrou-se os 200 anos da adesão do Pará à independência do Brasil, marco histórico que incentivou a realização de uma série de debates sobre história, resistência e patrimônio na Amazônia. No ano anterior, o país teve uma agitada agenda de publicações, inaugurações e eventos relacionados ao bicentenário de sua independência, não sem intensas disputas políticas em pleno crepúsculo do governo Bolsonaro. A adesão do Pará, porém, pareceu estar menos inserida na construção dessa memória nacional e mais à vontade nas preparações da próxima Conferência das Partes da Convenção-Quadro das Nações Unidas sobre a Mudança do Clima (COP-30), que ocorrerá em Belém em 2025.
Hungary and Poland: The Two Antemurales in the Late Fifteenth Century
Authors: Tafiłowski Piotr
Published: January 2024

The aim of this article is to analyze and confront the two conceptions—Polish and Hungarian—of Antemurale Christianitatis developed in the late fifteenth century. It is based, in the first part, on the published correspondence between King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary (1458–90) and Pope Sixtus IV (1471–84). These documents are interesting because they allow us to follow the duplicity of the policies practised by Matthias. Taking advantage of his involvement in the struggle against the Turks, the Hungarian king sought to attain other goals. The second part of the article is based on the political works of an Italian humanist living in Poland, Philippus Buonaccorsi, called Callimachus. I compare the attitudes of two then-hostile kingdoms, which earlier (in the time of Władysław Warneńczyk, d. 1444) and later (in the time of Władysław Jagiellończyk, d. 1516, and his son Ludwik, d. 1526) were connected by personal union and dynastic ties, respectively, towards the problem of Antemurale.

Published: January 2024

Radiotherapy may induce irreversible damage on healthy tissues surrounding the tumor. It has been reported that the majority of patients receiving pelvic radiation therapy show early or late tissue reactions of graded severity as radiotherapy affects not only the targeted tumor cells but also the surrounding healthy tissues. This prospective, observational study was conducted to observe the effects of pelvic radiation on haematopoeitic and gastrointestinal syndromes. It was done in Radiation Oncology department of National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, Dhaka between July 2011 to June  2012. The study participants were all patients getting pelvic radiation in the concerned department. A blood profile was done before radiotherapy. Clinical evaluation as per RTOG Guideline was done to access the gastrointestinal syndromes. Then, pelvic radiation was started and CBC was done and recorded weekly as well as gastrointestinal toxicity grading. Main outcome measures were hemoglobin, TC of WBC, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Before treatment the mean hemoglobin % was 11.0±1.1 mg/dl, during 4th week of treatment it 10.37±0.7 mg/dl.The mean TC of WBC was found 11107.4±13481.4 mm3, during 4th week of treatment the mean TC of WBC was found 7550.6±2514.6 mm3.Nausea and vomiting increased upto 3rd week but decline in subsequent follow-up. 42% patients had diarrhea during 2ndand 3rd week of treatment, 20.0% in 4thweek and only 2.0% found in 5th week. It can be said that hematopoetic and gastrointestinal syndromes are significantly correlated in patients undergoing pelvic radiation following 4th week of follow up reports.

Disability provokes poverty and vice versa, a review of the relationship
Authors: Rahman Md Shahidur , Parvez Syed
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Millions of people all over the world are affected by disability arising out of accident, disease, or congenital. This is a crucial health issue for mankind and needs structured treatment and rehabilitation plans. Prevalence and management capacity of disability have wide cross-cultural and geographical variations. Despite the lack of specific data there are reasons to believe that third-world countries have more disabilities and fewer resources and capacity for rehabilitation. So, there is a strong relationship between poverty and disability.  Marginalized populations, disadvantaged or at-risk populations such as women, older people, and people who are poor are inappropriately affected by disability.  Children from poverty-stricken families, indigenous populations, and ethnic minority groups are significantly at higher risk of experiencing disability.   There is a higher prevalence of disability in lower-income countries than in higher-income countries.  Poor people from lower-income countries are usually involved in high-risk jobs which make them vulnerable to injury and disability. Because of exaggerated life stress, poor health status, and poor living conditions due to poverty, people at low resource outset are more vulnerable to disease and disability. Of inadequate support from affluent persons as well as from the government, they spend their last savings to meet the treatment costs and get poorer.  They are also common victims of road traffic accidents when they travel on risky roads and vehicles.  There are many other shreds of evidence for a link between disability and poverty in low and middle-income countries and there is an urgent need for further research and policy action to break the cycle.  This review article intends to find out the relationship between poverty and disability and reveals how poverty influences suffering disability and vice versa.

Published: January 2024

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is one of the most serious and fatal disorder of intracranial venous pathways characterized by clot formation in Cerebral venous sinuses. Generally, CVST is a fulminating process with a high rate of mortality (1 in 3 patient) secondary to a spreading bacterial infection specially over head and neck region where coagulase positive Staphylococcus (90%) is mostly responsible. Individuals with  hypercoagulable state i.e., pregnancy or puerperium and malignancy can also suffer from this form of thrombosis. Here we are presenting such a case, who developed CVST on the 5th day of puerperium with features of persistent headache and eye problems. The diagnosis was confirmed with MRI in combination with Magnetic resonance venography (MRV). She responded well to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and was discharged on long term oral anticoagulant and regular follow-ups. Her subsequent pregnancy was uneventful without repeat attack of CVST.

Effect of weather parameters on incidence of citrus leaf miner, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) and its natural enemies in three commercially grown citrus cultivars
Authors: Alexander Anjitha , Kuttalam S. , Rao C.N.
Published: January 2024

Studies on the incidence of citrus leaf miner (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, species composition of its bioagents, percentage parasitism and the impact of weather parameters on their incidence on three major citrus cultivars, showed that higher levels of P. citrella infestation was found on acid lime and Nagpur mandarin cultivars than on mosambi and higher levels of infestation were observed during August-October and February-April. Different stages of parasitoids and predators were collected from leaf miner infested twigs. Parasitisation rates were high during Hasta season (October-early December) and least during Mrig season (June - July). Acid lime cultivar recorded up to 4.60 parasitized CLM larvae per 10 leaves, while on mosambi it was only 0.65. Maximum temperature was found to have significant negative correlation towards the CLM infestation as well as parasitisation rate on the Â three cultivars, while relative humidity was found to have significant positive role in favoring the incidence of CLM.

The process of grating coconut into grated coconut, and then the process of making grated coconut into pure coconut milk, which is carried out by people living in rural areas to this day is still very traditional. The work is done manually (using hands) to produce 7.2 kg/hour of grated coconut or 3.6 liters/hour of thick coconut milk. To make the process smoother, the squeezing needs to be done mechanically, namely using a grated coconut press machine. The machine is designed based on a Screw Press system with 1⁄4 HP 1450 rpm electric motor power using a pulley belt transmission. Squeezing power refers to the capacity of the grated coconut that can be accommodated in the pressing tube (squeezing power by hand is usually done by coconut oil producers and some traditional food stall entrepreneurs in rural areas). The prototype of this machine is capable of producing .6 liters/hour of thick coconut milk, which has the same quality (color, smell and texture) as that squeezed manually.
