Currently, youth libraries need radical modernization in the context of global cyberspace and social networks. Taking the challenge of nowadays, rebuilding their age-old traditions, libraries forced to change the format and saturate their space with new meanings. Studying the organization of modern library services for young people is based on the Information-Library Center for youth of Tyumen city. Evidentlu for it the authors elaborate recommendations to improve servicing young people in the information-library center for youth of Tyumen. The research theoretical and practical significance is determined by the need for an urgent study of youth activities of library institutions to create a positive experience with this category of users. To identify the young people attitude to the activity of the Information-Library Center for youth in Tyumen, the authors monitored public opinion with a sociological survey (questionnaire). The survey has revealed: what users want to get from visits; what forms of work they like, and what would they like; what is the comfort of working in the library. The analysis of the obtained data allowed authors to conclude: 1. Young people are interested in getting comprehensive information on the topics of their interest. 2. Modern technical equipment and the availability of designed work and leisure sites are important com­ponents of the library space. 3. The most attractive leisure activities in the Centre include creative meetings, musical or literary events. 4. Respondents attributed the problem of professional growth of specialists, underdeveloped forms of intellectual leisure and types of information support as shortcomings of the Information-Library Center for young people, which are worth paying attention. 5.The most popular sources of information about the Center activities are social networks. 6. Users rated the Center work as 9.4 points in 10-point scale. The authors have developed measures to improve the quality of library services for young people, increase the interest and activity of this social group in the work of the Information-Library Center for young people. They are: 1. Actualizing the library collection in accordance with youth preferences; 2. Developing advanced forms of book borrow; 3. Organizing the Center library space comfortable for young people; 4. Involving young specialists in library activity; 5. Expanding the library’s social partnership with youth associations.

A Novel Methodology for Estimating Carbon Geosequestration Capacity Based On Multiple Fractured Horizontal Well
Authors: Chu Hongyang , Liao Xinwei , Gao Zhanwu , Wang Lei , Yuan Zhou , Zou Jiandong 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we adopted a novel semi-analytical method to calculate the carbon geosequestration capacity of shale reservoir. Our methodology has the ability to calculate carbon geosequestration capacity of shales by considering Knudsen diffusion, molecular diffusion, Langmuir's adsorption, and stress-sensitivity of the permeability. Our model is more in line with the actual situations, allowing us to accurately estimate the carbon storage capacity by capturing the transient pressure solutions of the injection well. Additionally, the model verification in this paper shows that the error is 3%, indicating the reliability of the model. Sensitive analysis presents that the CO2 geosequestration capacity is proportional to fracture half-length and fracture conductivity. The change in the property for hydraulic fractures only affects the early period of the CO2 geosequestration process. For the adsorption coefficient, with the increase of the adsorption coefficient, the CO2 geosequestration capacity also become greater. This phenomenon has become more apparent with the continuous progress of the CO2 storage process.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
According to the requirements of key external stakeholders which consists of mother company, government agency, Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) 56-1, Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), Carbon Discloser Project (CDP), International Oil and Gas Producer (IOGP) and partners as well as internal PTTEP requirements such as SSHE policy, sustainability report, environmentally operational and monitoring controls consequently all related environmental data shall be collected, calculated, analyzed and reported. Corporate Safety Security Health and Environment (SSHE) initially developed and implemented the Environmental Performance Reporting System (EPRS) for all operating assets and official issued the Environmental Performance Reporting (EPR) Procedure in the later time
At the beginning the environmental data were manually consolidated, calculated, summarized and reported through excel spreadsheet format and input into mother company SSHE Performance Database by each assigned asset representative. Pain points from users which were 1) Working with number of excel spreadsheets; 2) Wasting time with duplicate data input, email notification and comfirmation process; 3) Using of invalid factors or coefficient; 4) Lacking of data security control; 5) Unspecified of role and responsibility for report preparation, review and approval; and 6) Limiting of storage space of individual computer were often raised and discussed.
To solve all pain points above, the development of EPRS was brought into the consideration. The goal was to establish an effective and efficient reporting system that is user-friendly, easily accessible, permanent database storage, calculate the output and provides summarized data. Initially, the purchasing of additional functions in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software was contacted to propose the quotation. The quotation with huge cost was proposed for developing the EPRS. Due to oil price crisis PTTEP promoted an encouraged the save to be safe program. Consequently In-house development of Web-based EPRS application has been initiated and innovated in order to solve and close out all pain points raised by relevant parties.
The development of application with supporting by company group digital team has been completed and Go-Live in September 2018. The functions provided in application cover the generation of asset environmental performance report, analysis report as well as system synchronization. Furthermore the application helps reducing man-hour of projects and corporate personnel that equivalent to save budget of 46,200 USD per year.
Finally this paper indicates how technology with innovation can be used to reduce double works and improve the quality of reporting in terms of completeness, consistency, accuracy as well as monitor the environmental performance. This system serves as the foundation for efficient and consistent reporting processes, which are essential for encouraging a culture of commitment to sustainable development.
Leveraging Technology to Manage Health, Safety and Human RIghts Risks: A Differentiated Approach in Managing Fatigue
Authors: Yaakob Norsayani M , Azrina Abdullah Lizuryaty 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Oil and gas employees working in tough working environments such as plants, turnarounds and offshore platforms have among the most gruelling work schedule in the industry. Despite having guidelines that prohibit long working hours, there are still cases of excessive working hours without rest days that may result in exhausted employees prone to mistakes and accidents.
Analysis on accident investigations in the oil and gas industry revealed that fatigue is among the contributors towards significant number of incidents leading to fatality and loss time injury. PETRONAS has put in place a number of key controls such as PETRONAS Technical Standards on Management of Fatigue at Work Place, site procedures at plants, health promotion programmes and audit activities to ensure compliance to ensure fatigue risks are managed accordingly at the workplace.
To further strengthen its compliance to related laws and standards, PETRONAS has developed a compliance-based digital system called PETRONAS Fatigue Management System (FMS) which tracks Hours of Service Limit (HSL) of working hours, days and rest period according to high risk work groups as required by company standards which imposes the intervention to block an employee who has breached the standard from entering their work place. The aim of FMS is to enhance effectiveness of fatigue management and compliances through proactive intervention, process standardisation, simplification and automation.
Bridging Occupational Health and Wellness: Maximising Value Through Innovation, Digitalisation and Data Driven Approach
Authors: Mohamad Yunus Zulkifli 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
By right, Occupational Health and Wellness should work in tandem but in reality, it is not always the case. Wellness which is defined as an active process of becoming aware of and making the right choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life should be one of key Occupational Health strategies, mainly from the perspective of personal risk management and prevention of ill health. As an example, a Wellness initiative at the workplace such as a weight loss program is often challenged as encroaching workers’ personal domain, although obesity is the key consideration of fitness to work for certain job specific group such as offshore workers. In addition, the impact of wellness initiatives is classically "stigmatized" as intangible, non-measurable and not sustainable thus making the efforts to convince and get buy-in from various stakeholders challenging.
This paper aims to describe an initiative that leverages on digital technology to improve health management by bridging Occupational Health and Wellness elements from prespective of health assessment and data management. Creation of a "user friendly" health assessment system, likely will contribute a significant role in driving a sustainable culture of health at the workplace.

Authors: Marathe Shreeram 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Objective
To explain how drone based imaging technologies can be effectively deployed for monitoring and survey of pipeline & Right of Use/Way.

Methods, Procedures & Process
The safety of pipelines, especially those which are cross-country, spanning hundreds or thousands of kilometers, is very critical for the whole midstream operations. Any damage to pipeline results in financial and operational losses, environmental damage and may result in catastrophic damage to life. In some cases, the areas it crosses are difficult to access because they are located in rural areas or in the uninhabited areas which can make any type of inspection extremely difficult for operators of the pipeline. The use of UAVs or Drones with Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Analytics, and other hardware and software tools on top of it may help to overcome this handicap.

Evaluation of the effect of oral taurine supplementation on fasting levels of fibroblast growth factors, β-Klotho co-receptor, some biochemical indices and body composition in obese women on a weight-loss diet: a study protocol for a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Authors: Haidari Fatemeh , asadi maryam , Mohammadi-asl Javad , Ahmadi-angali Kambiz 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: Taurine (Tau) is involved in many biochemical functions such as regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, enhancement of energy expenditure, anti-inflammatory effects and appetite control. The most important effect of Tau in obesity is its direct effect on adipose tissue. Some evidence has shown an impaired FGF ( Fbroblast Growth Factor)19 and 21 biosynthesis in obesity. Besides the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on serum FGF21 concentrations, the effect of other nutrients on FGFs is not clear. Since obesity as an important health problem is rising around the world and on the other side, taurine (Tau) biosynthesis is reduced by adipose tissue-derived factors in obesity, the effects of Tau and a weight loss diet on obesity need to be investigated further.
Methods: We will conduct a 8 weeks’ double-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the effect of Tau supplementation on fasting serum levels of fibroblast growth factors, β-Klotho co-receptor, some biochemical indices and body composition in 50 obese women aged between 18 to 49 on a weight-loss diet.
Discussion: We will determine the other advantages of a weight loss diet on new metabolic risk factors. Since Tau may regulate adipose tissue-derived factors and a weight loss diet can promote the useful effects of Tau supplementation; for the first time, the effects of a weight loss diet along with Tau supplementation on these variables will be assessed.

Authors: Erdem Seyfettin , Gunes Muslum 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: This study evaluated short-term changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal thickness (CCT) following haemodialysis (HD) in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients.
Methods: We studied 34 eyes of 34 patients with CRF undergoing HD. Patients included in the study were classified into two subgroups: with diabetes mellitus (DM, group 1) and without diabetes mellitus (non-DM, group 2). All patients underwent a detailed ophthalmological examination including CCT and IOP before and after the HD session. Total body weight and body volume loss after haemodialysis were also measured.
Results: The sex distribution of patients were as 22 females (64.7%) and 12 males (35.3%). The DM group was comprised of 19 patients (55.9%), and the non-DM had 15 patients (44.1%). The mean age was 60.3 ± 17.2 (range 21–88) years, and the dialysis time was 51.4 ± 38.5 (range 5–132) months. The mean IOP change after HD decreased from 15.88±2.37 to 14.11±2.02 mmHg (95% CI, 1.40–2.11; p < 0.001). The mean CCT decreased from 554.88±14.27 to 550.52±13.67 μm. (95% CI, 1.97–4.08; P = p < 0.001). The loss in body volume was positively correlated with a decrease in IOP (r = 0.737, p < 0.001) and CCT (r = 0.784, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Patients at high risk of being affected by changes in intraocular pressure , may be adversely affected by IOP and CCT changes following HD. Therefore, a detailed ophthalmologic examination should be performed to take preventive measures for at-risk patients before and after HD.

Abstract
Background

Gastrointestinal nematode infection (GNI) is the most important disease affecting the small ruminant industry in U.S. The environmental conditions in the southern United States are ideal for the survival and growth of the most pathogenic gastrointestinal nematode, Haemonchus contortus. Host genetic variation for resistance to H. contortus allows selective breeding for increased resistance of animals. This selection process increases the prevalence of particular alleles in sheep and goats and creates unique genetic patterns in the genome of these species. The aim of this study was to identify loci with divergent allelic frequencies using Fst statistic in three different breeds of sheep and goats previously exposed to H. contortus.

Results

Our results for sheep populations showed loci under selection on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 12, 14, and 19. For goats, loci on chromosome 1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 12, 16, 18, 24 and 26 were under selection. SNPs under selection in CD86, NOS2, TGFB2 and TLR2 genes were identified in both species.

Conclusions

SNPs within immune response genes related to H. contortus exposure were identified under selection in sheep and goat populations. Results from this study support the hypothesis that resistance to H. contortus is likely to be controlled by many loci. Shared signatures of selection related to mechanisms of immune protection against H. contortus infection in sheep and goats could be useful targets in breeding programs aimed to produce resistant animals with low FEC.
Anti-GABAbR antibody positivity in a patient with hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS): a case report
Authors: Cao Hongyu , Yang Lei , Yu Ling , Qin Wei , Zhang Juan , Li Yue , Yang Shuna , Hu Wen Li 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids (HDLS), a rare autosomal dominant inherited leukodystrophy, is associated with the genetic mutations of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R). The clinical manifestations may be a combination of mental, neurological and physical symptoms that are easily misdiagnosed. And the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed asymmetric white matter damage.
Case presentation: We report a case which genetically confirmed hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids with anti-GABAbR antibody positivity. A 30-year-old woman presented with a 30-month history of progressive limb weakness, aphasia, stiff and cognitive decline. Brain MRI revealed persistent white matter hyperintensities on diffusion-weighted images for 24 months. Sequence analysis of CSF1R showed a novel missense mutation c.1736G>A (p.R579Q). The presence of anti-GABAbR antibody did not report in patients with HDLS. After immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone steroid pulse therapy, the patient's condition improved and the Barthel index scale of daily living ability was increased from 40 to 60.
Conclusions: HDLS is often misdiagnosed due to the diverse clinical manifestations and the lack of reliable laboratory indicators. The case may helpful for clinicians to further understand the disease. If a patient whose manifestations are progressive limb weakness and cognitive impairment with anti-GABAbR antibody positivity and the MRI shows asymmetric white matter damage, clinicians should consider the possibility of HDLS and recommend genetic testing.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background

Elevated level of D-dimer increases the risk of ischemic stroke, stroke severity and progression of stroke status, but the association between D-dimer and functional outcome is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether Plasma D-dimer level is a determinant of short-term poor functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods

This prospective study included 877 patients with AIS provided plasma D-dimer level after stroke onset. Patients were categorized per D-dimer level: Quartile 1(≤0.24 mg /L), Quartile 2 (0.25–0.56 mg /L), Quartile 3 (0.57–1.78 mg /L), and Quartile 4 (>1.78mg /L). Each patient’s medical record was reviewed, and demographic, clinical, laboratory and neuroimaging information was abstracted. Functional outcome at 90 days was assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Results

Of 877 patients were included (mean age, 64 years; male, 68.5%), poor outcome was present in 302 (34.4%) patients. After adjustment for potential confounding variables, higher D-dimer level on admission was associated with poor outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.257, 95% CI1.349-3.777 for Q4:Q1; P trend = 0.004). According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the best discriminating factor was a D-dimer level ≥0.315 mg/L for pour outcome [area under the ROC curve (AUC) 0.657; sensitivity 83.8%; specificity 41.4%].

Conclusion

Elevated plasma D-dimer level on admission was significantly associated with increased poor outcome after admission for AIS, suggesting the potential role of D-dimer as a predictive marker for short-term poor outcomes in patients with AIS.
Asymmetry of the bispectral index in lateral decubitus position during one-lung ventilation: A prospective-observational study
Authors: Kang Se Hee , Park MiHye 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background

Use of the bispectral index (BIS) reduces cases of intraoperative awareness and deep sedation. Although non-invasive, the BIS values are often misunderstood. This study evaluated the effects of BIS readings during intra-operative positioning and ventilation.

Methods

Forty-four patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery were enrolled. BIS sensors were applied on right and left sides. A > 10% difference in BIS reading between the two sides was defined as ‘asymmetry.’

Results

Intraoperative BIS asymmetry was observed in 14 (32.6%) patients in the supine position, but 43 (100%) patients in the left lateral decubitus position. The maximum differences between BIS values were observed 15 minutes after one-lung ventilation in the left lateral decubitus position (mean 6.8 ± 4.6, range [1-27]).

Conclusion

During one-lung ventilation in the lateral decubitus position, care should be taken when placing a BIS sensor and interpreting BIS values.
