Machine learning framework for predicting water quality classification
Authors: Sangwan Vinita , Bhardwaj Rashmi 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Groundwater serves as the source for nearly half of the world's drinking water, yet understanding of global groundwater resources remains incomplete, and management of aquifers falls short, particularly concerning groundwater quality. This research offers insights into the groundwater quality in 242 stations of Maharashtra and Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and nine parameters (pH, TDS, TH, Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Chloride (Cl−), Sulphate (SO42−), Nitrate (NO3−), Fluoride (F−)) were considered for computing the Water Quality Index (WQI) and hence Water Quality Classification (WQC) based on Water Quality Index (WQI). This research introduces the utilisation of Machine Learning (ML) models, specifically, Random Forest, Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) model for predicting WQC and models are tested. Grid search method as a hyperparameter tuning of parameters is utilized to achieve the best possible performance of ML models. The performance metrics that are used for evaluating and reporting the performance of classification models are Accuracy, Precision, Recall or Sensitivity, F1 Score. SVM achieved the highest performance in predicting WQC. With accurate predictions of WQC, these findings have the potential to enhance NEP concerning water resources by facilitating ongoing improvements in water quality.

Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Due to its magnetic and semiconductor properties, V2O5 has shown
tremendous potential in resistive switching memory. Method: Therefore, this paper investigates
the resistive mechanism of oxygen vacancies in V2O5. The formation energies of different oxygen
vacancies are calculated. Results: The results indicate that oxygen vacancies tend to form
single-component conductive filaments. In mixed oxygen vacancies clusters, the charge transfer
characteristics and density of states of the V2O5-VO
13 vacancies are the most significant, which is
consistent with the analysis of formation energy data. Conclusions: Additionally, the charge
transfer of cluster oxygen vacancies was calculated, showing that V atoms directly connected to
oxygen vacancies tend to lose electrons, while adjacent oxygen atoms are more likely to gain
electrons. In V2O5-VO
12 and V2O5-VO
13, the number of electrons obtained by O2 and O16 exceeds
the average by 36.4% and 33.2%. Thus, the formation of oxygen vacancies effectively
improves the resistance characteristics of the V2O5.

Authors: Chen Yifei , Li Yongjie , Wang Dechao , Sun Yinan , Lv Tingyu , Tang Xiaoli 
Published: October 2024

This study used a combination of questionnaires and interviews to survey 68 librarians in mainland China. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: (1) providing descriptive statistics of the interviewed librarians; (2) exploring the impact of generative technologies on librarians' information behaviour from work scenarios; (3) investigating librarians' concerns about ethics and strategies for coping with ethical challenges. The results show that generative AI technologies had a greater impact on information seeking, information encountering, and information using behaviours, and an insignificant impact on information sharing behaviours. In addition, the results of the study reflect that 67.65% of librarians showed a very high level of concern about privacy and security; 66.18% of them believed that the content generated by the tools needed further validation. The study also provided six recommendations from the perspective of libraries and librarians to address ethical challenges such as the spread of disinformation and bias.
Community Archives as Agency: Intersectionality as a Framework to Document Chinese American Experiences in the United States
Authors: Han Yingying 
Published: October 2024

The U.S. has a history of anti-immigrant and anti-Asian. Asian Americans strive for agency in defining their identities. Intertwined with their history of exclusion is the absence and misrepresentation of Asian Americans in archives.

In this dissertation, I first explore Chinese Americans’ understanding of their identity and its reflection of social inequality. Then, I investigate what they want to preserve to document their history to counter injustice. Lastly, I examine how Chinese Americans want to use community archives to enhance agency and fight against social injustice.

I use interviews, workshops, and ethnographic methods to collect conversations with 17 participants who self-identify as Chinese descendants in the U.S.

My dissertation finds that participants’ racial and ethnic identities shape their experiences of discrimination, pressure to assimilate to White society, a lack of belonging, and difficulty fitting into the Asian American Pacific Islander group. Furthermore, gender identity influences their experiences. For example, Chinese American women often face social expectations to prioritize family over themselves. Alongside unjust experiences, community members share lived experiences of resilience, joy, and achievements. My dissertation proposes intersectionality as a framework to understand the representational value of community archives. The intersectionality framework asserts, “it is not enough to simply ‘add race and stir’” (Smooth, 2013).

My dissertation finds that participants challenge a thing-oriented approach that prioritizes preservation alone. Instead, they prefer an engagement-oriented approach that uses archives to transform counter-stories into agency, specifically into what Yosso (2005) calls cultural wealth, such as aspirational and social capital.

Navigating the Modern Libraryscape: The Changing Roles, Labor, and Education of Public Librarians
Authors: Williams Rachel , Gross Melissa , Latham Don , Baum Brittany , Dudak Leah , Freeburg Darin , Johnson Sarah , Crooks Shannon 
Published: October 2024

Public libraries and their staff have recently faced a wide array of challenges. Some of these challenges include supporting services for incarcerated individuals, unhoused patrons, and others experiencing crises (American Library Association, 2023; Gross et al., 2024; Knox, 2023; Wahler and Johnson, 2024). These recent challenges give us, as scholars and educators, an opportunity to take a step back and trace the dynamic work of public library professionals. In response, public library workers take on a variety of tasks. These may involve connecting patrons to social service resources, partnering with community organizations, or creating programs to support specific community needs and interests. Some of this work undertaken by public library staff involves routine, everyday tasks. Other labor is in response to community crises. Understanding this work is central to our ability to consider how the realities of public library work impact LIS scholarship and education. This panel provides a space for open conversation among panelists and the ALISE community to address the following overarching questions:

What does the work of public librarianship look like, in terms of roles and labor?
How can a better understanding of these roles and the reality of public library work inform how we approach LIS scholarship and teaching?

Our panel will consider several aspects of public library work, with a view toward connecting theory, research, and practical workforce preparation.
Truth & Information? Preparing Information Organization & Retrieval Students for an AI Future
Authors: Snow Karen , Miksa Shawne , Hoffman Gretchen , Kizhakkethil Priya , Zavalin Vyacheslav 
Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a new concept or technology, but has taken the world by storm with the recent advancement of generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Bard. The metadata, cataloging, collections, and retrieval areas of library and information studies (LIS) are already experiencing disruption and soul-searching because of generative AI, but it remains to be seen to what extent the technology can benefit, or even harm, these areas of LIS.
The Metadata, Cataloging, & Collections SIG session will include a panel of three educators who will discuss the use of artificial intelligence in information retrieval and cataloging courses, and provide ideas for educators hoping to learn more about the impact of AI and how to incorporate activities and discussions of AI in their courses.
Priya Kizhakkethil will report on student perceptions of AI in the LIS curriculum, with a focus on Information Retrieval courses. With the emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) tools like ChatGPT, there has been much discussion about its impact on libraries and the work of librarianship. But there is a gap in the literature that addresses how such disruptive technologies should be addressed in the LIS curriculum. This presentation covers a work in progress pilot study seeking to understand LIS student perceptions on the use of generative AI tools as part of their course work. Themes relating to student perceptions on the use of Gen AI tools for an Information Retrieval course will be discussed, which includes the potential ways of using these tools as noted by the students.
Vyacheslav (Slava) Zavalin will discuss the critical need for understanding the AI landscape and its application to information organization within LIS. He will demonstrate using Google Gemini, the AI-powered assistant, to create bibliographic examples and then analyze and discuss the accuracy of the records.
Karen Snow recently assigned advanced cataloging students an exercise that required them to create a basic MARC/RDA bibliographic record using ChatGPT. The resulting transcripts of their conversations with ChatGPT, and their reflections on the experience, were a fascinating demonstration of the benefits/drawbacks of AI in cataloging work, but also of the importance of educating students on how to effectively use AI.
After the presentations, audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and offer their own experiences and ideas concerning this area of LIS education. These presentations align well with the ALISE 2024 conference theme of “The Ethics and Evolution of Truth and Information.”
Digital Language Archiving: Reuse and Adaptation of Non-LIS Learning Materials in LIS Education
Authors: Coronado Sergio , Zavalina Oksana 
Published: October 2024

As a digital repository type that is gaining prominence, language archives are in need of information professionals to maintain and provide access to. Yet, awareness of digital language archives among the US LAM professionals and educators is currently low. Our project’s analysis of available relevant training materials for linguists and community members informed development of a graduate course that prepares LAM professionals for effective and ethical stewardship of digital language archives. In this paper, following a brief literature review of the latest relevant research and publications, results of examination of three major sources of language archiving learning materials are presented and discussed. This discussion’s focus is on the ideas for reuse and adaptation of these materials in LIS education and on implementation of some of these ideas in our project-developed course at the University of North Texas.
Understanding Ourselves in Qualitative Research Through Collaborative Sense-making

Published: October 2024

In the fall of 2023, the iSchool at Syracuse University offered a new PhD course entitled IST 800 Information Studies Seminar: Qualitative Research Methods. This course was intended to teach students about various qualitative methods. A key part of the curriculum was centered on a discussion of how researchers are implicated by their epistemological and ontological positionality and how this awareness should inform their methodological decisions and analytical interpretations. As part of the course, students were asked to keep a weekly sense-making journal, which was intended as a routine medium through which students could reflectively engage with the various author claims, arguments, and philosophical perspectives that were raised in the course readings and shared class discussions. After the course ended, several of the students from the course embarked on a collaborative autoethnographic project to examine how their respective learnings about qualitative methodologies had shaped their individual research ontologies and epistemologies. This poster provides an overview of this collective analysis.

We argue that the reflexive nature of the course acted as a generative springboard for us (i.e., the students) to explore and question our values, sensitivities, and, ultimately, our worldviews; in tandem, the assigned sense-making memos gave us a chance to proactively develop our researcher positionalities. It is our hope that sharing the insights from this autoethnographic project will support other early career researchers in understanding how to critically engage their own positionality, and will provide information science educators inspiration for their own research methodology pedagogy.

In vitro measurement of the initial forces and moments generated for a curve of Spee malocclusion with labial and lingual archwire forms
Authors: Yeung Silas , Owen Brandon , Heo Giseon , Carey Jason P. , Major Paul W. , Romanyk Dan L. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To compare the biomechanics of labial and lingual fixed orthodontic treatment options for a simulated curve of Spee malocclusion.

Materials and Methods
An in vitro electromechanical orthodontic simulator was used to measure the three−dimensional forces and moments on each tooth of a mandibular arch. Labial and lingual brackets, both with 0.018−inch slot sizes, were bonded to mechanical teeth. Three archwire forms were considered: labial straight, lingual straight, and lingual mushroom. The simulator was set in a passive levelled position with 0.016−inch × 0.022−inch stainless steel archwires, then teeth were moved to a curve of Spee maloclussion with the first premolar intruded 1.5 mm and the canine and second premolar intruded 0.75 mm. Two−way mixed multivariate analysis of variance (α = 0.05) was used to compare forces and moments generated among the three archwires.

Results
Statistical differences were found in 55 of 63 comparisons of forces and moments between archwire types for each tooth around the arch. The lowest force magnitudes were measured for labial straight archwires at each tooth position. The lateral incisor experienced the largest gingival forces with all archwire forms. The first premolar and first molar experienced labial−lingual crown tipping moments in opposite directions between labial and the two lingual archwire forms.

Conclusions
Biomechanical differences between labial, lingual straight, and lingual mushroom treatment modalities for the correction of curve of Spee misalignments were elucidated. Labial straight archwire exerted the lowest force magnitudes overall. For both lingual archwire forms, the labial−lingual inclination of the first premolar could be highly variable during levelling.
Small intestinal incarceration caused by external herniation can be diagnosed clinically in cattle, but laparotomy is required to confirm internal incarceration
Authors: Braun Ueli , Gerspach Christian , Bennien Elena , Hilbe Monika , Nuss Karl 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic findings, treatment, and outcome of cattle with small intestinal incarceration (SII) through internal and external hernias.

METHODS
The medical records of 85 cattle with SII admitted between January 1, 1987, and December 31, 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. The long-term outcome was determined 2 years after discharge.

RESULTS
85 cattle had herniation of the small intestine through congenital or acquired openings in mesentery or omentum (internal herniation; n = 60) or the abdominal wall (external herniation; 25). The most common findings were little or no feces in the rectum (77 of 85 [90.6%]), reduced or absent intestinal motility (76 of 85 [89.4%]), and hypocalcemia (36 of 44 [81.8%]). Thirteen (15.3%) cattle died or were euthanized without surgery. Of the remaining 72 (84.7%) cattle that underwent surgery, 42 survived the procedure. Overall, 52 of 85 cattle (61.2%; 95% CI, 50% to 72%) did not survive to hospital discharge and 33 (38.8%; 95% CI, 28% to 50%) were discharged alive. Of these, 11 (33.3%; 6 with and 5 without hernias closed completely) were still productive in their respective herds 2 years later.

CONCLUSIONS
The diagnosis of an incarcerated external hernia is usually straightforward, whereas internal SII necessitates laparotomy or postmortem examination for a definitive diagnosis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Internal herniation should be part of the differential diagnosis in cattle with signs of ileus. Immediate surgical treatment is paramount in cattle with SII.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effects of essential nutrients on various aspects of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, including growth performance, survival rates, tissue mineralization, digestive enzyme activity, and redox and immune status. Under the brand name Bonza®shrimp, the chelated supplement, containing Zn, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ca, P, Fe, and Se, was manufactured based on the advanced chelate compound technology, registered with the United States Patent (No. US8288587B2). Then the shrimp (weight of 8.55 ± 0.24 g; n = 420) were randomly assigned into six experimental groups (Bonza®shrimp mixed in diet treatments: MT1: 250; MT2: 500; MT3:1000 mg kg-1, and sprayed on diet treatments: ST1: 250; ST2: 500; ST3:1000 mg kg-1) and one control treatment (CT). At the end of the feeding trial (60 days), the shrimp fed with diets containing Bonza®shrimp (especially MT3 treatment) showed a significant enhancement in growth performance, i.e., weight gain, survival, and feed conversion ratio, compared to the CT treatment (P < 0.05). Moreover, the supplementation of Bonza®shrimp at the highest dose markedly increased the levels of the applied minerals and ash in the muscle tissue and whole-body. Likewise, the administration of the organic supplement markedly raised the levels of total protein, glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride particularly at the highest dosage, i.e., the MT3 treatment. Besides, the inclusion of this supplement considerably increased the activities of amylase, lipase, phenoloxidase, lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, alkaline phosphatase, and acid phosphatase enzymes (P < 0.05). Also, the total haemocyte count in shrimp fed with the supplement (MT2 and MT3) was significantly higher than the other treatments. Therefore, the supplementation of Bonza®shrimp could not only improve the growth performance, macro- and microelement levels in the body, and digestive enzyme activities but also enhance the redox and immune status. The outcomes recommend that the supplement could adjust the energy allocation among various traits probably through optimizing the metabolism. According to the fitted linear regressions, furthermore, the method in which this organic supplement (at the level of 1000 mg kg-1) was premixed with the diet can be more effective than the top-dressing method. Together, this study introduces the mineral supplement, synthesized using a patented procedure, as a metabolism optimizer to enhance growth performance, meat quality, digestive system, and immunity of L. vannamei.
