About the social turn in foreign library science
Authors: Sokolov S. V. 
Published: January 2023

The article presents an analysis of the bibliographic database of the Google Academy as a source for studying the most cited articles of leading foreign journals in library and information sciences. The most rated journals on library science are introduced. The crisis of foreign library science as a social discipline in the subjects of the journal Scientometrics is ascertained. The place of foreign library science in the interdisciplinary discourse for November 2022 has been estimated. The leader of the turn towards new library science with greater focus on knowledge management and socio-ethical component in researches is designated R. David Lankes Professor of Library Science at the University of Texas in Austin. Based on the analysis of the most cited articles in the leading foreign journals on library science, the ways of modern library studies within the framework of the so-called “social turn”, as well as the directions of interdisciplinary research in the field of social sciences with the participation of specialists in library and information sciences, are shown. When searching for a new library methodology, the so-called “chronotopy” and “altmetrics” are considered as a compromise option for combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, which also involve the author’s immersion in the content under study – the basis for scientific introspection, self-reflection and self-control.

Authors: Peksheva M. A. 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify ways to develop the system of scientific and methodological support for the work of structural divisions of scientific institutions of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (UB RAS) (libraries, departments, sectors) that provide information and library support for their activities. The scientific and methodological center for libraries of scientific institutions of UB RAS is the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSL UB RAS). To determine the priority directions of development of CSL UB RAS in the fi of scientific and methodological support of the network libraries, the analysis of the main indicators of their activities in the period from 2017 to 2021 was carried out. It revealed a steady decline in the indicators of library visits in stationary conditions, a decrease in the receipt of literature on physical media, an increase in the issuance of documents (mainly electronic documents from remote full–text databases) and an increase in applications in the distant format. Based on the data obtained and taking into account current trends in the fi of information support for science, the priority directions of CSL UB RAS activities developing the scientific and methodological support system for network libraries have been formulated. The implementation of these directions will ensure the effective use of the aggregated collection of libraries’ printed publications, the joint development of electronic sources of foreign scientific information, the organization of effective information services using remote technologies, the development of scientific libraries’ personnel potential, taking into account current trends in the information infrastructure of science. Strengthening system links within the network of libraries of UB RAS scientific institutions will become one of the components for building an effective system of cooperation and coordination of libraries of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“The process of four” in samizdat: Novosibirsk version
Authors: Yarantsev V. N. 
Published: January 2023

One of the most significant and well-known samizdat publications – the collection "The Process of Four" – is considered in several aspects: as inheriting the traditions of the previous samizdat collection "The White Book", as revolutionary (an array of letters in defense of the accused) for the beginning of the human rights movement in the USSR and as a unique text , which has its own, special handwritten version. The personality of this original copy creator – the scientist from Novosibirsk Academgorodok A.I. Fet – is interpreted as playing an important role in terms of the manuscript “The Process of Four” existence, its study and interpretation. Particular attention is paid to the process of creating its copy in the late 60s, which took place not only against the background of the persecution of differently minded in Akademgorodok, where the copy of the collection was printed, but also in parallel with the work of A. I. Fet on studying, translating and printing works of famous biologists, psychologists, philosophers, also intended for samizdat. It is emphasized and substantiated that the creation of this copy of “The Process of Four” by A. I. Fet, but it is stipulated that this copy could have been partially printed by him, and the manuscript included ready-made parts (blocks) of the original text. The views of A. I. Fet on dissidence and human rights activities, characterized by unorthodoxity and originality are elucidated, numerous works from the collection of his scientific, philosophical and journalistic heritage are cited. This allows not only to take a different look at the context and circumstances of this collection typescript creation, but also to highlight some moments in the history of early samizdat in the USSR in the second half of the 1960s and its representatives’ activities.

Authors: Ningrum Dian Eka Aprilia Fitria , Saefi Muhammad , Nurrohman Endrik , Rofiki Imam 
Published: January 2023

<p><span>This study aimed at explaining the capacity of pre-service teachers in designing teaching activities to foster Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The research participants were 35 pre-service teachers attending Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education department at a state university in Malang. The research method was descriptive quantitative. The assessment was conducted by reviewing lesson plans designed by the pre-service teachers. Rubric within Shulman's framework was used for assessing the lesson plans by considering some key aspects of teaching to foster HOTS, namely content knowledge, the use of questions, and problem-solving. The results have revealed that the pre-service teachers did not show a good ability to interpret contents. Besides, the pre-service teachers tended to use clarifying questions in learning. This was due to the fact that the designed learning had not been based on problems. It can be said that the capacities of the pre-service teachers in both content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge were considerably low. Both types of knowledge have shown a significant correlation in the context of teaching to foster HOTS. </span></p>
Trigger Finger Due to Anomaly of Lumbrical Insertion
Authors: Khoury Ayman , Gannot Gil , Oron Amir 
Published: January 2023

Case:
Trigger finger (TF), or stenosing synovitis, is a common condition that can usually be diagnosed by physical examination. We recently operated on a patient with TF who did not respond to conservative treatment. At surgery, we found an anomalous insertion of the fourth lumbrical muscle to the A1 pulley. This insertion was observed to cause mechanical narrowing of the pulley due to a pulling effect by the muscle, which was relieved by resection.

Conclusion:
Although rare, the operating surgeon should be aware that local anatomical anomalies, such as insertion of a lumbrical into the A1 pulley, can be a cause of trigger finger.
Does Club Convergence Matter in Health Outcomes? Evidence from Indian States
Authors: Nag Ajit , Privara Andrej , Gavurova Beata , Pradhan Jalandhar 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background

Population health is considered as a vital component for a nation's overall well-being and development. To achieve a sustainable level of human development, reduction in the level of health inequalities and an increase in interstate convergence in health indicators is necessary. Evaluation of the convergence patterns can aid the government in monitoring the health progress across the Indian states. This study investigates the progressive changes in the convergence and divergence patterns in health status across major states of India from 1990 to 2018.

Methods

Sigma plots (σ), kernel density plots, and Philips and Sul (2007) methods are used to test the convergence, divergence, and club convergence patterns in the health indicators at the state level.

Results

The result of the sigma convergence suggests that life expectancy at birth has converged across all states. After 2006, however, the infant mortality rate, neonatal mortality rate, and total fertility rate experienced a divergence pattern. Findings of the study indicates that life expectancy at birth is converging in the same direction across all states, falling into the same club (club one). However, considerable cross-state variations and evidence of clubs' convergence and divergence are observed in the domains of infant mortality rate, neonatal death rate, and total fertility rate. As suggested by the kernel density estimates, life expectancy at birth stratifies, polarizes, and becomes unimodal over the time period, although with a single stable state. A bimodal distribution was found for infant, neonatal, and total fertility rates.

Conclusions

Therefore, in order to reduce health variations and to improve health outcomes for each group of individuals, healthcare strategies must consider each club's transition path, while placing special attention to divergence states.

Authors: Zhou Lihua , Stenmarker Margaretha , Henricson Maria , Li Ziye , Dai Yu , Hong Jingfang , Browall Maria 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background

Perceived social support was considered to be an essential resource of individual’s positive consequences (e.g., posttraumatic growth, PTG) during times of stressful conditions. However, there is no evidence on the relationship between perceived social support and PTG at the couple-based level in cancer research. This study aimed to explore the relationship between perceived social support and posttraumatic growth among couples coping with gynecological cancer.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in China, from May 2019 to March 2020 in two comprehensive hospitals. A total of 126 couples, consisting of women diagnosed with gynecological cancer and their spouses, participated. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were used to collect data. Paired t-tests, pearson’s correlations and actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) were used to analyze data.

Results

The actor effects of perceived social support on posttraumatic growth were supported (r = 0.419, p < 0.001; r = 0.467, p < 0.001); however, the partner effects of perceived social support on posttraumatic growth were not supported (r = -0.119, p>0.05; r = 0.130, p>0.05). Perceived social support was positively correlated between women diagnosed with gynecological cancer and their spouses (r = 0.244, p < 0.01). Furthermore, spouses’ perceived social support was positively correlated with women’s posttraumatic growth (r = 0.213, p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The actor effects of perceived social support on posttraumatic growth in couples coping with GC are supported. The findings also highlight that spouses’ perceived social support are positively correlated with women’s perceived social support and women’s PTG. Healthcare professionals should provide couple-based interventions that would increase couples’ identification and use of effective social support, and how to promote their PTG should be focused.

Abstract
Background: Rapid antigen tests detecting SARS-CoV-2 are being increasingly used across the globe and were shown to be a useful tool in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this prospective study was to characterise the performance of four SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests in a South African setting.
Methods: Rapid antigen test evaluations were performed through drive-through testing centres in Durban, South Africa from July-December 2021. Two evaluation studies were performed: nasal Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device (Abbott) was evaluated in parallel with the nasopharyngeal Espline SARS-CoV-2 Ag test (Fujirebio, nasopharyngeal); followed by the evaluation of nasal RightSign COVID-19 Antigen Rapid test Cassette (Hangzhou Biotest Biotech) in parallel with the nasopharyngeal STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag test (SD Biosensor). The Abbott RealTime SARS-CoV-2 assay was used as a reference test.
Results: Evaluation of Panbio and Espline Ag tests was performed on 494 samples (31% positivity) while the evaluation of Standard Q and RightTest Ag tests was performed on 539 samples (13.17 % positivity). The overall sensitivity for all four tests ranged between 60-72% with excellent specificity values (>98%). Sensitivity increased to >80% in all tests in samples with Ct value <20. All four tests performed best in samples from patients presenting within the first week of symptom onset.
Conclusions: All four evaluated tests detected a majority of the cases within the first week of symptom onset with high viral load and could be a valuable diagnostic tool for controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Engineering Climate-Resilient Rice Using a Nanobiostimulant-based “Stress Training” Strategy

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Under a changing climate, cultivating climate-resilient crops will be critical to maintaining food security. Here, we propose the application of ROS-generating nanoparticles as nanobiostimulants to trigger stress/immune responses, and subsequently increase the stress resilience of plants. We established three regimens of AgNPs-based “stress training”: seed priming (SP), leaf priming (LP), and combined seed- and leaf- priming (SLP). Trained rice seedlings were then exposed to either rice blast fungus (M. oryzae.) or chilling stress (10 ºC). The results show that all “stress training” regimes, particularly SLP significantly enhanced the resistance of rice against the fungal pathogen (lesion size reduced by 82% relative to un-trained control). SLP training also significantly enhanced rice tolerance to cold stress. Under cold conditions, SLP training significantly increased leaf biomass by 35% compared to controls. The mechanisms for the enhanced resilience were investigated with metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling, which show that “stress training” induced considerable metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming in rice leaves. AgNPs-boosted ROS activated stress signaling pathways by oxidative post-translational modifications of stress related kinases, hormones, and transcriptional factors (TFs). These signaling pathways subsequently modulated the expression of defense genes, including specialized metabolites (SMs) biosynthesis genes, cell membrane lipid metabolism genes, and pathogen-plant interaction genes. These AgNPs-triggered metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming enable rice plants to mount a more rapid and intense response to future stresses. This nanobiostimulant-based strategy for increasing the stress resilience of crops will increase yield vigor against a changing climate and will contribute to sustainable agriculture by reducing agrochemical use.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Objective: Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) have been paid more and more attention in recent years. We aimed to evaluate the reporting quality of cohort studies using real-world data (RWD) published between 2013 to 2021 and analyze the possible factors.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in Medline and Embase through the OVID interface for cohort studies published from 2013 to 2021 on April 29, 2022. The evaluation was based on the REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely-collected health Data (RECORD) statement. Pearson chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the possible factors, including the release of RECORD, journal IFs, and article citations.
Results: 187 articles were finally included. The mean±SD of the percentage of adequately reported items in the 187 articles was 44.7±14.3 with a range of 11.1% to 87%. Of 23 items, the adequate reporting rate of 10 items reached 50%, and the reporting rate of some vital items was inadequate. The reporting of only two items significantly improved after the release of RECORD and there was no significant improvement in the overall report quality. The journal IFs and citations were respectively related to 6 areas and significantly higher in high-reporting quality articles.
Conclusion: The reporting of cohort studies using RWD was generally inadequate and has not improved in recent years. We encourage researchers to endorse relevant guidelines when utilizing RWD for research.

Abstract
The investigation focuses on determining the effects of canola oil based cutting fluid with three different volume percentages of boric acid additives on the machining forces and surface roughness while turning hardened AISI 1018 mild steel. Experiments were carried out under Taguchi’s design of experiments concept. The minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique was followed to minimize the cutting fluid consumption. The homogeneity of the additives dispersed in the fluid has been validated through zeta potential study. Machining forces and surface roughness were considered as chief machining objectives. The hybrid mathematical model Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) – Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been implemented to assess the performance of the developed cutting fluid. The results explored that the canola oil cutting fluid with 5 wt. % of boric acid additive exhibited lesser cutting forces and surface roughness. The negligible error percentage of 0.66% between GRA and ANN prediction has been recorded

Published: January 2023

Abstract
End stage renal disease (ESRD) and acquired cystic renal disease (ACRD) are characterized by structural remodelling through chronic inflammation and by frequent development of cancers. So-called eosinophilic-vacuolated and chromophobe-like renal cell carcinoma develop exclusively in ACRD kidney. Previous Affymetrix array analysis detected GPR87 as one of the highly expressed genes in ESRD/ACRD kidneys. Experimental and clinical studies suggested a correlation between activation of GPR87 signalling and proliferation and migration of tumour cells. In this study we have analysed normal and ESRD/ACRD kidneys and related tumours for GPR87 expression by PCR, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemistry revealed a strong GPR87 expression in proliferating epithelial cells in ESRD/ACRD kidneys and as well as in cells of eosinophilic- vacuolated and chromophobe-like renal cell carcinoma. Our study suggests that GPR87 signalling play an important role in structural remodelling of ESRD/ACRD kidney and development of ACRD-associated tumours with unique histology.
Synergistic interaction of ellagic acid with diabetes on hepatic tissue, and the expression profile of insulin like growth factor-1 and Klotho genes

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Diabetes type 2 is a notable disease in many countries linked to a high risk of morbidity from liver disease. Liver diseases represent a major public health challenge in individuals diagnosed by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ellagic acid (EA) derived from strawberry has hypoglycemic effect and can maintain liver functions. Current study aimed to detect the therapeutic and protective effects of EA on hepatic enzymes, lipid profile, inflammatory cytokines, and the expressions of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and klotho genes in T2DM. 50 adult male rats were divided for 5 equally groups (control, EA only, diabetic-control, co-treated, and post-treated). Rats were intraperitoneally injected by a single dose of streptozotocin (STZ). The animals were treated orally with EA. Liver enzymes, lipid profile, inflammatory markers and expressions of IGF-1 and klotho genes were detected. EA reduced blood sugar, lipid profile, and inflammation, and improved hepatic injury caused by diabetes. Both IGF-1 and klotho genes were down-regulated in diabetic group, but, their expressions were overexpressed in treated groups. EA can be used as a diet supplement in diabetic individuals for improving of chronic effects of T2DM in liver.

Abstract

Protein kinase C is a family of kinases that play important roles in carcinogenesis . Medicinal plants from Plectranthus spp. (Lamiaceae) are a well-known source of interesting abietanes, such as the 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (Roy). The aim of this study was to extract and isolate Roy from P. grandidentatus Gürke and compare two extraction methods (the CO2 supercritical extraction and the ultrasound-assisted acetonic extraction). The aim is to designing new royleanone derivatives focused on PKC modulation for breast cancer therapy by molecular modeling. The concentration of Roy in the extracts was determined by HPLC-DAD. Supercritical extraction method afforded an extraction yield of 3.6% w/w, with the presence of 40.69 μg·mg-1 of Roy (yield of 0.14%), while ultrasound-assisted acetonic extraction afforded 2.3% w/w, with the presence of 52.67 μg·mg-1 of Roy (yield of 0.11%). The reactivity of Roy was investigated to synthetize new ester derivatives through Roy benzoylation, affording two different products, Roy-12-Bz and RoyBz. Similarly, from Roy acetylation, Roy-12-Ac and RoyAc were successfully prepared. Thus, a reactivity study pointed to the 12-OH position as the most reactive site for the esterification. It afforded ester derivatives, using mild conditions, with overall good yields (33–86%). For both positions’ derivatization, high temperature (50 °C), excess of reagents, and higher reaction time are recommended. Moreover, some royleanones were evaluated as PKC-α, βI, δ, ε and ζ activators. DeRoy displayed the most promising results with increased PKC activity for all the isoforms comparing to PMA and ARA. The results suggest that slightly changes in the royleanones structures’ may have a great impact in the selectivity towards each PKC isoform. New ester hit derivatives are currently in preparation based on this reactivity report, to be further evaluated as PKC modulators.
