AI in Indian Libraries: Prospects and Perceptions from Library Professionals
Authors: Subaveerapandiyan A. , Gozali Alfian Akbar 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study explores the perspectives of Indian library professionals on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in libraries. It aims to understand their knowledge, awareness, and views on AI and its challenges and opportunities. The research adopts a quantitative approach, using a closed-ended survey to collect data from 386 library professionals in academic institutions across India. The survey covers various aspects, including socio-demographic information, AI knowledge, perspectives on AI in libraries, ethical considerations, and adopting AI tools and services. The findings indicate that Indian library professionals are generally aware of AI and its potential benefits in libraries. They believe that AI can enhance library activities, improve accessibility, and support decision-making. However, there are concerns about AI replacing human intelligence within libraries. Factors such as user privacy, funding, staff expertise, and alignment with institutional goals are essential when implementing AI applications. Ethical considerations, including bias and discrimination, intellectual freedom, and transparency, are also significant concerns. AI tools like smart shelving and optical character recognition are among the technologies already adopted in Indian libraries.
Describing smell: A comparative analysis of active smell lexicon in Estonian and German
Authors: Zurbuchen Karin , Vainik Ene 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article reports on smell lexicon in two genetically unrelated languages, Estonian and German with the primary aim to compare cognitively salient and actively used smell terms and preferred lexical strategies. Two consecutive field experiments were carried out by interviewing 43 native speakers of both languages. The results are discussed against the background of anthropologically and cognitively oriented linguistics, where both languages can be told to share the typical features of WEIRD languages. The results of comparisons demonstrate that despite the genetic unrelatedness of Estonian and German, the active and cognitively salient smell vocabulary of the speakers of the two languages occurred as structured by the same principles of evaluative connotations and multisensoriality of odour lexicon.

In brief
Pyruvate metabolism is one of the main metabolic pathways during oocyte maturation. This study demonstrates that pyruvate metabolism also regulates the epigenetic and molecular maturation in bovine oocytes.

Abstract
Pyruvate, the final product of glycolysis, undergoes conversion into acetyl-CoA within the mitochondria of oocytes, serving as a primary fuel source for the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The citrate generated in the TCA cycle can be transported to the cytoplasm and converted back into acetyl-CoA. This acetyl-CoA can either fuel lipid synthesis or act as a substrate for histone acetylation. This study aimed to investigate how pyruvate metabolism influences lysine 9 histone 3 acetylation (H3K9ac) dynamics and RNA transcription in bovine oocytes during in vitro maturation (IVM). Bovine cumulus–oocyte complexes were cultured in vitro for 24 h, considering three experimental groups: Control (IVM medium only), DCA (IVM supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate, a stimulant of pyruvate oxidation into acetyl-CoA), or IA (IVM supplemented with sodium iodoacetate, a glycolysis inhibitor). The results revealed significant alterations in oocyte metabolism in both treatments, promoting the utilization of lipids as an energy source. These changes during IVM affected the dynamics of H3K9ac, subsequently influencing the oocyte's transcriptional activity. In the DCA and IA groups, a total of 148 and 356 differentially expressed genes were identified, respectively, compared to the control group. These findings suggest that modifications in pyruvate metabolism trigger the activation of metabolic pathways, particularly lipid metabolism, changing acetyl-CoA availability and H3K9ac levels, ultimately impacting the mRNA content of in vitro matured bovine oocytes.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) prevents food insecurity and supports nutrition for more than 3 million low-income young children. Our objectives were to determine the cost-effectiveness of changes to WIC’s nutrition standards in 2009 for preventing obesity and to estimate impacts on socioeconomic and racial/ethnic inequities.

METHODS:
We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis to estimate impacts from 2010 through 2019 of the 2009 WIC food package change on obesity risk for children aged 2 to 4 years participating in WIC. Microsimulation models estimated the cases of obesity prevented in 2019 and costs per quality-adjusted-life year gained.

RESULTS:
An estimated 14.0 million 2- to 4-year old US children (95% uncertainty interval (UI), 13.7–14.2 million) were reached by the updated WIC nutrition standards from 2010 through 2019. In 2019, an estimated 62 700 (95% UI, 53 900–71 100) cases of childhood obesity were prevented, entirely among children from households with low incomes, leading to improved health equity. The update was estimated to cost $10 600 per quality-adjusted-life year gained (95% UI, $9760–$11 700). If WIC had reached all eligible children, more than twice as many cases of childhood obesity would have been prevented.

CONCLUSIONS:
Updates to WIC’s nutrition standards for young children in 2009 were estimated to be highly cost-effective for preventing childhood obesity and contributed to reducing socioeconomic and racial/ethnic inequities in obesity prevalence. Improving nutrition policies for young children can be a sound public health investment; future research should explore how to improve access to them.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global pandemic that affects the mental health and quality of life of many people. This study aimed to determine the mental health and quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic among residents in San Isidro, Bohol, as of Calendar Year 2022, and the study’s findings will serve as the basis for the formulation of the proposed intervention program. The study used the quantitative descriptive survey method of research utilizing survey questionnaires that measured residents' profiles, mental health, and quality of life. The resident’s profile questionnaire measures the age, sex, civil status, highest educational attainment, and employment status. To measure the residents' mental health, the study used the stress-allied queries designed by Meo et al., the COVID-19 worry scale designed by Oli Ahmed, and the WHO Quality of Life Scale to measure the quality of life. The study found that the respondents possessed a fair mental health status, and their quality of life was interpreted as good. There was a significant degree of relationship between the mental health status and the respondents’ quality of life. It implies that the mental health status of the residents during the COVID-19 pandemic also affects the respondents’ quality of life.

The avian influenza virus (AIV) has a great pandemic potential both in animals, and in human population. For effective struggle against this virus, it is important to study the immune response against AIV, and, in particular, the features of T cell immunity. At the period of early immune response, when the activation of adaptive immunity factors has not yet occurred, the natural killers, which have both cytotoxic and immunoregulatory functions, are known to play a key role in the fight against the influenza virus. In this study, we investigated the interaction between natural killers and T helpers in the process of antiviral response. The aim of this study was to study immunoregulatory functions of NK cells in BALB/c mice vaccinated with different doses of avian influenza virus.We used a strain of mouse-adapted avian influenza virus (AIV) of the H5N2 serotype (A/duck/ Pennsylvania/10218/1984). The determination of the virus titer in the mice lung tissue was performed by infecting 10-day-old chicken embryos (SPF) with lung extracts at various decimal dilutions, followed by the immune agglutination test. Quantitative determination of natural killers and T helpers (Th) in the mice spleen tissue was carried out by flow cytometry. The amount of Th cells in mice spleens increased at low infectious dose (2.5 EID50) which is explained by active clonal expansion of this cell subpopulation. The infectious disease process ended upon complete virus elimination from the lungs. The amounts of Th cells were also increased in a group of mice infected with intermediate infectious dose (25 EID50), however, being accompanied by virus replication in lungs. When the mice were infected with a high dose of the virus (250 EID50), there was a decrease in the Th cells number versus control group of animals, whereas replication of AIV was noted throughout the entire observation period in the lung tissue.The amounts of helper T cells at high doses of viral infection could be decreased due to activation of NK cells. The activated NK cells may then eliminate exhausted helper T cells. Thus, NK cells immunoregulatory function represents an important immunological factor which keeps balance between the pathogen destruction and excessive inflammation of the lung tissue affected by the avian influenza virus.
Ictal asystole with intercurrent cardiopathy: a complex combination leading to delayed diagnosis

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Ictal asystole is a rare epileptic phenomenon, though usually self‐limiting, which has been associated with an increased risk of sudden death in epileptic patients. Although early recognition is desirable, the diagnosis can be delayed until prolonged video‐EEG monitoring is completed. We report a case of ictal asystole in a 74‐year‐old patient with co‐morbid cardiac conditions leading to a delay in diagnosis of approximately 10 years. Indeed, multiple cardiac investigations and EEGs failed to reveal that the recurrent syncope was seizure induced. A detailed description of the case with an emphasis on the prolonged diagnostic process, as well as the clinical and EEG findings, is provided. This case highlights the complexity of the diagnosis of some ictal asystole cases and the need to perform continuous video‐EEG monitoring for confirmation. [

Authors: Khaibullina D. H. , Maksimov Yu. N. 
Published: January 2024

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy for low back pain (LBP) associated with spinal osteoarthritis (OA) using the Symptomatic Slow Acting Drugs for OsteoArthritis (SYSADOA) group drug Ambene® Bio.Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with LBP aged 40 to 65 years. Various scales and questionnaires were used to assess the patients’ condition. All patients received Ambene® Bio 2.0 ml intramuscularly every other day for a total course of 10 injections. Some patients with severe pain continued to receive previously prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). After completing the course of treatment with Ambene® Bio, the overall effect of the therapy, changes in individual need for NSAIDs and the presence of adverse events were assessed.Results. All patients sought medical care due to exacerbation of chronic LBP. X-ray examination of the lumbosacral spine revealed degenerative-dystrophic changes in the vertebral-motor segments of the lumbar spine in all patients and in some patients – in the sacroiliac joints. The treatment showed positive dynamics in 27 (90 %) patients in the form of pain reduction not only in the lower back but also in peripheral joints. Of the 13 patients initially receiving NSAIDs, 7 (53.8 %) reduced the daily dose of the drug, and 3 (23.1 %) were able to stop taking NSAIDs. In 3 (23.1 %) cases, the initial NSAID dosage remained unchanged. Monotherapy with Ambene® Bio was received by 17 (56.7 %) patients. All patients expressed satisfaction with the treatment, of which 18 (60 %) rated the result as “excellent”, 7 (23.4 %) as “good” and 5 (16.6 %) as “satisfactory”.Conclusion. In all patients, therapy with Ambene® Bio, both in mono mode and in in combination with NSAIDs, had a positive effect, which was expressed in the reduction of the intensity of LBP on visual analog scale, improvement of peripheral joint function. In 7 (23.3 %) patients pain reduction was observed after the second injection of the drug (“the effect of the first dose”). In other cases the pain regressed later, but also within the course of treatment. All patients showed high adherence to therapy, which was explained by the rapid onset of the effect. The results of the study allow us to recommend Ambene® Bio for the treatment of LBP associated with spinal OA and within generalized OA, including patients with comorbid conditions.

Mental health literacy is one factor that can affect children's quality of life. This study aims to determine and compare the level of literacy and description of mental health in children who conflict with the law (CCL) in the province of Gorontalo, Indonesia. This study uses a mixed parallel method. The researcher collects qualitative and quantitative data using observation, in-depth interviews, document review, and a modified RI1 Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire. Informants are 21 children who conflict with the law (CCL) in Gorontalo Province. The results on the level of mental health literacy showed that out of a total of 6 CCL perpetrators, three children were in the moderate category (50%), three children were in the less category (50%), and none had high literacy (0%). Meanwhile, of 15 CCL victims, 6 children were in the less category (40%), 8 were in the moderate category, and 1 child (7%) had high literacy. On average, the CCL perpetrator's mental state is better than the CCL victim's. CCL victims have the lowest score on cognitive ability, at 38%, and the highest on emotional ability, at 44%. CCL perpetrators have the lowest emotional ability at 34% and the highest cognitive ability at 41%. The legal process triggers stress, anxiety, poor sleeping and eating functions, communication disorders, and a drastic decrease in self-confidence. Providing a mental health literacy program can be a preventive measure to maintain mental health so they are ready to return to society.

Estrategias del dibujo y color a través del arte tribal de la India
Authors: DE LA RUBIA GÓMEZ-MORAN ANDREA 
Published: January 2024

El siguiente artículo analiza el proceso de creación de dibujos tribales y diseños votivos en las paredes de las casas de las aldeas en India, centrándose particularmente en los murales rituales relacionados con los eventos matrimoniales de las etnias de Mithila y Warli. Usualmente realizados por las mujeres de las aldeas, estos dibujos suelen ser peticiones de matrimonio y fertilidad a los dioses, íntimamente ligados a la productividad de las cosechas y al pensamiento tántrico ancestral. A pesar de que el objetivo de esta ponencia es el estudio del dibujo étnico desde una perspectiva estética, está también relacionada con los aspectos antropológicos o sociológicos del contexto en el que se realizan, siendo el proceso ritual de crear el diseño mural más importante que el resultado final per se. En la actualidad la industria turística y el capitalismo global ha supuesto una vía para la independencia económica de estas mujeres, quienes han comenzado a realizar sus dibujos sobre papel con el fin de venderlos como souvenirs.

OS “FILHOS DA FOLHA” NA ÉPOCA DA INDEPENDÊNCIA EM GOIÁS
Authors: Vieira Martha Victor 
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo propõe-se a abordar a participação das camadas pobres de Goiás no processo da independência do Brasil, analisando as narrativas das autoridades militares, escritas entre 1821 e 1825. Como procedimento metodológico, primeiramente, investigamos os dicionários da época, que nos permitiu inferir que a palavra “pobre” constitui um termo mais apropriado do que “popular” para descrever as camadas de baixa renda que faziam parte das tropas goianas. Com base em uma análise qualitativa dos documentos, observamos que indígenas, negros e pardos atuaram como protagonistas nos conflitos políticos da Independência, apesar de terem sido esquecidos nas narrativas históricas produzidas no Oitocentos e nos estudos subsequentes. Para embasar nossas reflexões, nos respaldamos em Michael C. McBeth (1977) e Joan Meznar (1992), que tratam do recrutamento militar no Brasil Império, bem como em pesquisas sobre outras províncias (Sergipe, Pernambuco, Piauí e Rio de Janeiro), que analisam a presença e o engajamento das camadas subalternas nas tropas militares. A concepção de “redes de serviços”, de Fernando Dores Costa (1992), também nos ajudou a compreender como, nos primórdios do Brasil Império, poderia ocorrer a ascensão e a promoção dos sujeitos que eram discriminados pela sua procedência racial e pela sua baixa condição socioeconômica.
