Federer, L. (2018). Defining data librarianship: A survey of competencies, skills, and training. Journal of the Medical Library Association 106(3), 294–303. https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2018.306
Abstract
Objective – To better define the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary to data librarianship.
Design – Electronic survey.
Setting – Unknown number of research institutions in English-speaking countries with a focus on North America.
Subjects – Unknown number of information professionals who follow data-related interest group electronic mail lists or discussions on Twitter.
Methods – Author distributed an electronic survey via electronic mail lists and Twitter to information professionals, particularly those in biomedicine and the sciences, who self-determined that they spend a significant portion of their work providing data services. The survey asked respondents to rate the importance of various skills and expertise that had been selected from a review of the literature. In addition to other quantitative analysis, author performed cluster analysis on the final dataset to detect subgroups of similar respondents.
Main Results – 82 valid responses were received. Most respondents supported more than one academic discipline and spent at least half of their time on data-related work. Competencies in the “Personal Attributes” category (such as interpersonal, written, and presentation skills) were rated as most important, while those in the “Library Skills” category were rated as least important. A cluster analysis detected two groups that could best be described as subject specialists and data generalists. Subject specialists focus on a smaller number of disciplines and view a smaller number of tasks as important to their work compared to data generalists. In addition, data generalists are more likely to report spending most of their time on data-related work.
Conclusion – Data librarianship is a heterogeneous profession with many skillsets at play depending on the work environment, but the existence of two overarching subgroups – subject specialists and data generalists – deserves further study and may have implications for a number of stakeholders. Hiring institutions may consider the breadth of their user population’s needs before recruitment. Educational institutions as well as other on-the-job training opportunities may do well to focus more on “soft skills” as this is deemed more important by data librarians.

The Effects of Using Some Different Types of Learning Automata on Presentation of Adaptive Neighbor-Based and Energy Efficient Topology Control Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Shafeie Shekufeh , Meybodi M. R. 
Published: March 2019

The high number of nodes and dynamic and periodic topological changes, as well as constraints in the physical size of nodes, energy resources, and power of processing are some characteristics of sensor networks that make them different from other networks. One method to overcome these constraints is topology control with the aim of reducing energy consumption and increasing the network’s capacity, which has the most influence on the network’s efficiency, especially in terms of energy consumption and lifetime. In consideration of learning Automata’s abilities, such as low computational load and adaptability to changes via low environmental feedbacks, in this paper, neighbor-based topology control protocols based on learning Automata have been proposed somehow that all nodes are equipped with Automata. The nodes try to adapt their selected actions with required conditions for creating a connected and energy efficient network by selecting the best radio range for themselves. This approach finally forms a proper topology, and in this way it lowers the network’s energy consumption in its lifetime. The exclusive characteristic of these methods is the high number of transmission ranges that each node can select as transmission radius. In the first proposed protocol, a P-model environment is used for learning phase, but in the second proposed protocol, a Q-model environment is applied. Simulation results show favorite functionality of proposed protocols in comparison with some other similar protocols from topology control point of view, as well as high improvement of achieved results for the Q-model environment.

Abstract
In this article, we have derived suitable U-statistics from a sample of any size exceeding a specified integer to estimate the location and scale parameters of Lindley distribution without the evaluation of means, variances and co-variances of order statistics of an equivalent sample size arising from the corresponding standard form of distribution. The exact variances of the estimators have been also obtained.
BAYESIAN SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF CHRONIC DISEASES IN ELDERLY CHINESE PEOPLE USING A STAR MODEL
Authors: Gao Ping , Hasegawa Hikaru 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Chronic diseases have become important factors affecting the health of elderly Chinese people. Because the prevalence of chronic diseases varies among the provinces, it is necessary to understand the spatial effects on these diseases, as well as their relationships with potential risk factors. This study applies a structured additive regression model and the R2BayesX package to conduct a Bayesian analysis. The data are taken from the 2000, 2006, and 2010 Chinese Urban and Rural Elderly Population Surveys. The findings are as follows: (1) the following covariates have considerable effects on chronic diseases in general, and on specific chronic diseases (hypertension and heart disease) (in descending order): census register (rural or urban), gender, smoking, drinking, province, time, age, cultural activities, years of education, and sports activities; (2) the effect of marital status is negligible; (3) province is a critical factor, with the highest spatial effect appearing in two types of provinces: economically developed provinces, and economically backward provinces; and (4) time also has considerable effects. Based on these findings, the government should further strengthen its investment in rural areas and economically backward provinces as a cost-effective intervention, and should educate the population on the harmful effects of smoking and drinking alcohol on health.
LINDLEY PARETO DISTRIBUTION

Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new Lindley Pareto distribution, which offers a more flexible model for modelling lifetime data. Some of its mathematical properties like density function, cumulative distribution, mode, mean, variance, and Shannon entropy are established. A simulation study is carried out to examine the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters. Three real data sets are fitted to illustrate the importance and the flexibility of the proposed distribution.
IS POLAND BECOMING NORDIC? CHANGING TRENDS IN HOUSEHOLD STRUCTURES IN POLAND AND FINLAND WITH THE EMPHASIS ON PEOPLE LIVING ALONE
Authors: Ala-Karvia Urszula , Hozer-Koćmiel Marta , Misiak-Kwit Sandra , Staszko Barbara 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the household structure and its dynamics between post-economic-transformation Poland and Scandinavian-welfare-state Finland, with a focus on one-person households (OPH). Based on the literature, two research hypotheses were formulated: (H1) strong differences in the household structure in Finland and Poland still occur, and (H2) the share of one-person households is at very different levels in the two countries. However, due to the globally growing popularity of solo living, the difference is diminishing. Finally, an estimate was made for the time when the shares of one-person households will be equal in both countries if the changing trends from 2005–2015 stay the same.
The first research hypothesis was proven to be correct. Small, one- or two-person households dominate the household structure in Finland, while in Poland the household structure by size was considerably more balanced. The second hypothesis was confirmed only partially. The share of OPH among all the households in 2015 was significantly larger in Finland (42%) than in Poland (24%). However, the difference between the countries was not diminishing. The share in Finland is increasing, while it is decreasing in Poland. This allowed the assumption that if the changing trends from the studied period are maintained, the shares of OPH in the two countries will not equalize, but will instead grow further apart. An estimate was made that in 2030 46% of Finnish households and 22% of Polish households will be one-person households.
Unravelling pro-poor water services: what does it mean and why is it so popular?
Authors: Boakye-Ansah Akosua Sarpong , Schwartz Klaas , Zwarteveen Margreet 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In dealing with the challenge of providing water services to urban low-income areas, the concept of ‘pro-poor water services’ is popular in the policy literature. Based on an extensive literature review, this article examines the relation between the implementation of pro-poor water services and the equity of access. Pro-poor water services comprise a set of technological, financial and organisational measures employed by utilities in developing countries to improve service provision to low-income areas. In practice, the combination of low-cost technologies which limit consumption, measures to enforce payment for services, and the use of community-based and private suppliers, means that pro-poor service often entails the utility delegating part of the responsibilities, costs and risks of providing services to those living in low-income areas. Indeed, it is by partially withdrawing from these areas that utilities succeed in reconciling the objective of improving service delivery with the realisation of their commercial objectives. Our analysis shows that in implementing pro-poor service delivery strategies, there is a risk that concerns about cost recovery and risk reduction on the part of the utility prevail over those about the quantity, quality and affordability of the service for the poor.
A Comparison of PCB Congener Distributions in Two Point-Source Contaminated Lakes and One Uncontaminated Lake in Ontario
Authors: Macdonald C. R. , Metcalfe C. D. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
PCB congener accumulation in biota and sediments involves several processes, including physical factors characterized by octanol-water partition coefficients and water solubility, and chemical factors which are influenced by the degree of chlorination and the substitution pattern of the individual congeners. The present study was conducted to determine if PCB congeners are distributed in a consistent pattern in two lakes known to have received point-source contamination with PCBs, and a control lake with no known point source. Samples of 4 groups of biota, water and sediment indicated that each lake had a unique pattern of congener distribution which was probably related to the source of the contamination. A comparison of total and individual PCB congener concentrations within each study lake showed that no one species consistently contained the highest residues of PCBs. Smallmouth bass had the highest concentration of PCBs in Rice lake while yellow perch was highest in Lakes Clear and Scugog. Sediments contained lower concentrations of PCBs than biota and did not show enrichment of higher chlorinated congeners, despite having high organic carbon content. Within the contaminated lakes, young-of-the-year (YOY) and older yellow perch had the same congener pattern, and there was no significant difference in their PCB concentration. This indicates that equilibrium concentrations of PCBs are established rapidly in the young fish and that all congeners equilibrate at the same rate.
Virus Inactivation in Water Supplies
Authors: Vajdic Ann H. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
A great deal of evidence has been collected over the last decade or so (Clarke & Kabler (1964) & Lamb et al (1964)), indicating that current methods of sewage and water treatment are largely inadequate to cause inactivation of viruses; these viruses would comprise mainly those of human intestinal origin. For example, Sproul and his co-workers (1967) have calculated that wastewaters can contain seven thousand viruses per litre; if a 90% reduction is assumed to occur during activated sludge treatment and a further 99% reduction upon chlorination, there could still remain as many as seven to seventy viruses per litre in plant effluent, which level is hazardous. Other forms of sewage treatment which may be employed, such as lagooning (Malherbe and Coetzee (1965)), are even less efficient with respect to virus inactivation.

Behaviour of Mechanically Blended Return-Sludge in Absence of Substrate
Authors: Bokil Shyam D. , Bewtra Jatinder K. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Nine sets of batch experiments, each of ten to twelve days duration, were conducted in the laboratory on return-sludge samples collected from activated sludge treatment plant at Windsor. The thickened sludge samples were blended daily in a waring blender and were continuously aerated in twelve-litres capacity jars. Parallel runs were made on control sludge samples which were not blended. Amongst the parameters varied were the speed and frequency of blending and the aeration rate. The effects of these variables on progressive bio-degradation of volatile suspended solids and the settling characteristics of the sludge were determined. Blended sludge showed significant improvement in the rate of bio-degradation and its settling characteristics as compared to the control unblended sludge
Chemical and Bacteriological Studies of the Speed River System
Authors: Patel D.N. , Johnston R.A. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The Speed River arises from relatively uncontaminated sources and passes through forested, agricultural, urban and industrial areas. Fourteen stations were selected on the Speed and Eramosa Rivers and samples were collected about twenty four times at all stations from March 1968 to February 1969. Nineteen chemical, physical and bacteriological parameters were chosen.
Marked effects of seasons on the river were observed. The urban area with population of 53,682 appeared to contribute much more pollution than 200 square miles of rural area. The annual contribution per capita of total nitrogen and orthophosphate as P for the urban area was 14 lb and 0.962 lb respectively, the B.O.D. was higher than 4 ppm where domestic wastes were being discharged and gradually decreased as the river flowed down stream. The concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and orthophosphate in and below the city were score than minimum requirement for algal growth. during summer the coliform counts were higher than 2,400/100 ml at all stations except downstream from Rockwood. In and below the city of Guelph counts were very high.
Iron Phosphate and Anaerobic Digestion
Authors: Grikis A. , Cornwall G.M. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This research was undertaken in order to clarify some of the apparent inconsistencies in the literature concerning the fate of phosphates in iron phosphate sludges during anaerobic digestion.
Three anaerobic batch reactors were started and acclimatized to a feed of waste activated sludge. While one digester was maintained as a control, with a feed of only biological sludge, the other two digesters were loaded with different mixtures of biological sludge and iron phosphate sludge. When the digesters had stabilized with respect to influent and effluent total phosphorus, critical measurements of all the phosphorus fractions were made.
The soluble phosphorus in the control digester remained the same from the influent to the effluent. This observation seems to contradict the expected increase in soluble phosphates during the anaerobic digestion process.
When the activated sludge was mixed with the ferric phosphate sludge, it was observed that a reduction in soluble phosphorus took place. After this combined biological-chemical sludge had been digested anaerobically, an increase in the soluble phosphorus concentration, to a level roughly equivalent to that in the biological component of the influent, was observed.
Activated Carbon from Wastes

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Work in our laboratory and elsewhere, has shown that many common organic wastes, such as straw, grain, fruit, pits, nut-shells, seed-hulls, other fibrous plant residues, wood, cardboard and newspaper can be used as fuel and substrates, for the production of commercially useful charcoals, including activated carbons for direct environmental protection, or through reclamation of wastes to high degrees of purity, before re-use or discharge.
This topic will be reviewed, including work on activated carbons, its use in rapid physico-chemical cyclic reclamation and re-use systems, for biological wastes, particularly those from food processing industries, and other feasibilities for its use in environmental pollution abatement
