Objective(s)To investigate dysphagia and quality of life (QoL) outcomes 3 years after treatment of oropharyngeal cancer with either primary trans oral robotic surgery (TORS) or radiotherapy (RT).MethodsA prospective cohort study conducted at the Copenhagen University Hospital. Endpoints were objective swallowing function, examined using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and video fluoroscopy (VF). QoL was assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core (EORTC QLQ‐C30), Head & Neck Module (EORTC QLQ‐HN35), and MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI). A comparison was made between 1‐, and 3‐year results.ResultsForty‐four patients were included prior to treatment, 31 treated with TORS and 13 with RT. One‐year results for this cohort have previously been published (https://doi.org/10.1080/00016489.2020.1836395). Significant improvement on FEES in retention at the piriform sinus was noted in both groups. Patients treated with TORS had improved safety scores as well as dynamic imaging grade of swallowing toxicity (DIGEST) and efficiency scores, whereas patients treated with RT only had improvements in the latter two. Improvement in QoL scores was only noted for patients treated with TORS in composite MDADI scores.ConclusionWe found significant improvements in objective swallowing function from one to 3 years after treatment, particularly in patients treated with TORS. However, these improvements were not reflected as clinically meaningful improvements in QoL.Level of Evidence3, cohort follow‐up study Laryngoscope, 133:1893–1898, 2023

Published: October 2022

ObjectiveSpecific guidelines regarding an optimal general anesthesia (GA) approach to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients remain undefined. Literature comparing the efficacy of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalational anesthesia in this population is sparse. We hypothesize that OSA patients receiving TIVA will experience reduced recovery times and other improved post‐surgical outcomes.Study DesignRandomized controlled trial.MethodsAdult OSA patients undergoing upper airway surgery (hypoglossal nerve stimulation [HNS], nasal, or palate surgery) from February 2020–December 2020 were included. A post‐anesthesia care unit (PACU) nursing survey documented patients' alertness, pain, oxygen supplementation, and postoperative nausea and vomiting from PACU arrival to 2 hours. Perioperative timepoints from the electronic medical record (EMR) and a nurse‐estimated Phase I recovery time were collected.ResultsOne hundred eleven patients were included (46 TIVA and 65 inhalational anesthesia). Per EMR‐recorded timepoints, TIVA patients undergoing HNS and palate surgery experienced Phase I Time reductions of 12.5 min (p = 0.042) and 27.5 min (p = 0.016), respectively. Per the PACU survey, TIVA patients undergoing any surgery, HNS, or palate surgery experienced nurse‐estimated Phase I Time reductions of 16.5 min (p = 0.004), 12.5 min (p = 0.031), and 38.5 min (p = 0.024), respectively. Overall, TIVA patients experienced higher alertness and pain ratings, and lower oxygen supplementation requirements from PACU arrival to 30 min (p < 0.05).ConclusionPatients with OSA receiving TIVA for GA maintenance during upper airway procedures experienced reduced recovery times and oxygen supplementation requirements, and a more rapid return to alertness. Future work toward developing optimized anesthetic guidelines for OSA patients is merited.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 133:984–992, 2023

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn a stroke of good luck for aquatic scientists and insect enthusiasts, the May 2022 Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting (JASM) in Grand Rapids, Michigan coincided with a spectacular hatch of hydropsychid caddisflies. To estimate density, we enumerated caddisflies on 12 polarized window panels on the western face of the DeVos Place, which faced the Grand River. We found an average of 57.8 caddisflies per 2.0 × 2.3 m window panel (density of 12.6 caddisflies m−2). We observed American robins, swallows, sparrows, and jumping spiders preying and scavenging during the hatch. We also describe here our observations of a novel precopulatory behavior in the species Hydropsyche morosa, which we describe as a “head‐to‐tail” position. We discuss our natural history observations and share thoughts on how conferences can be a springboard for networking and collaborative science, natural history‐focused or otherwise.
MHA's annual report finds treatment access issues, increases in youth MH
Authors: Canady Valerie A. 
Published: October 2022

Nearly 30% of adults with a mental illness reported that they were not able to receive the treatment they needed, with most not receiving care because they could not afford it. More than 2.7 million youths experience severe major depression. These are just a couple of key findings from Mental Health America's (MHA's) ninth annual state of mental health report released Oct. 14.
On the use of graph neural networks and shape‐function‐based gradient computation in the deep energy method
Authors: He Junyan , Abueidda Diab , Koric Seid , Jasiuk Iwona 
Published: October 2022

AbstractA graph convolutional network (GCN) is employed in the deep energy method (DEM) model to solve the momentum balance equation in three‐dimensional space for the deformation of linear elastic and hyperelastic materials due to its ability to handle irregular domains over the traditional DEM method based on a multilayer perceptron (MLP) network. The method's accuracy and solution time are compared to the DEM model based on a MLP network. We demonstrate that the GCN‐based model delivers similar accuracy while having a shorter run time through numerical examples. Two different spatial gradient computation techniques, one based on automatic differentiation (AD) and the other based on shape function (SF) gradients, are also accessed. We provide a simple example to demonstrate the strain localization instability associated with the AD‐based gradient computation and show that the instability exists in more general cases by four numerical examples. The SF‐based gradient computation is shown to be more robust and delivers an accurate solution even at severe deformations. Therefore, the combination of the GCN‐based DEM model and SF‐based gradient computation is potentially a promising candidate for solving problems involving severe material and geometric nonlinearities.
Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols in Low Melting Mixtures and Water and Use for Telescoped One‐Pot Hybrid Reactions
Authors: Cicco Luciana , Roggio Marianna , López‐Aguilar Marcos , Ramos‐Martín Marina , Perna Filippo Maria , García‐Álvarez Joaquín , Vitale Paola , Capriati Vito 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAn efficient, selective and sustainable protocol was developed for the CuCl2/TEMPO/TMEDA‐catalyzed aerobic oxidation of activated alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds using water or the environmentally friendly low melting mixture (LMM) d‐fructose‐urea as the reaction medium. Such oxidation reactions proceed under mild (room temperature or 40 °C) and aerobic conditions, with the carbonyl derivatives isolated in up to 98 % yield and within 4 h reaction time when using the above‐mentioned LMM. The potential application of this methodology is demonstrated by setting up useful telescoped, one‐pot two‐step hybrid transformations for the direct conversion of primary alcohols either into secondary alcohols or into valuable nitroalkenes, by combining oxidation processes with nucleophilic additions promoted by highly polarized organometallic compounds (Grignard and organolithium reagents) or with nitroaldol (Henry) reactions, respectively.
Nano‐Scale Characterization of Particulate Iron Pyrite Morphology in Shale
Authors: Angelidakis Vasileios , Nadimi Sadegh , Garum Mohamed , Hassanpour Ali 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study analyzes the morphology of iron pyrite particles within a shale sample captured using nano‐computed tomography (Nano‐CT). The complex, framboidal morphology of the iron pyrite particles is characterized using various metrics, and comparisons are drawn on their effectiveness to quantify their observed morphological characteristics. Then, simplified representations of selected iron pyrite particles are generated to facilitate a sensitivity analysis of the effect of imaging resolution on morphological parameters of particle form. A discussion is developed on the required number of pixels per particle diameter for particle shape characterization. It is shown that shape indices that rely on the simplified main particle dimensions can be accurately calculated even for low fidelity levels of 10 pixels per particle diameter. More complex shape indices that use vertices, volume, and surface area, are more sensitive to image resolution, even for 40 pixels per particle diameter.

Published: October 2022

AbstractTo enable detailed studies of interactions between nanoparticles and their environment and the correlations between various nanoparticle properties, one must go beyond ensemble averages and toward single‐particle measurements. However, current methodologies for the single‐nanoparticle analysis of charge and size either lack the flexibility to study dynamic processes on the single‐particle level or are highly specific and require complex microfluidic devices. In addition, accurate measurements of the electrophoretic mobility (or zeta‐potential) based on the optical detection of single nanoparticles remain challenging due to the low photon budget, the required sampling frequency, and the fact that electroosmosis in typical microfluidic devices must be analyzed carefully. In this study, a method is investigated to accurately characterize the electrophoretic mobility of individual nanoparticles and estimate their size by simultaneously analyzing the electrokinetic‐ and Brownian motion in a simple microfluidic channel. Fast laser scanning excitation and sensitive detection of fluorescent photons enable single‐nanoparticle velocimetry experiments in an oscillating electric field at high frame rates.
Young Adults' Online Sexual Health Information Seeking and Evaluating Skills: Implications for Everyday Life Information Literacy Instruction
Authors: Behre Jane 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTMany young adults (particularly LGBTQ+ young people) often do not receive relevant sexual health information in school‐based health education classes, leaving them with unmet information needs, which they largely go online in order to fulfill. Meanwhile, information literacy instruction is almost exclusively provided to young adults within an academic context; thus, the knowledge and skills they learn may not be easily adapted to everyday life contexts, including health. In order to learn more about this potential mismatch and to identify potential ways in which we might improve information literacy instruction for this population, I conducted an online survey incorporating LGBTQ+ inclusive language. The results suggest that the most popular online health information evaluation strategies amongst young adults may be unreliable and, while this population may understand more reliable methods, they appear to struggle to apply these “academic” information evaluation skills to their everyday life information seeking, thus suggesting the need for improved and updated information literacy instruction that is more broadly applicable to people's everyday life information needs.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe study examined Nigerian Library and Information Science, LIS academics and scholarly publishing experience: challenges and the way forward. A purely qualitative method was adopted using interview as a data collection instrument. The population of study comprised LIS academics from two LIS departments in two universities at the South–south region of Nigeria. Four objectives were developed to guide the study. The results reveal that LIS academics publish mostly for promotion, to improve the knowledge in their chosen discipline, keep themselves abreast of the development in LIS discipline, LIS academics scholarly publication experience range from beginners up to twelve years with publications in various reputable LIS outlets. LIS academics face the challenges of heavy workload, inadequate experience, and lack of knowledge of relevant scholarly publishing outlets, and increasing rate of electronic journals due to advancement in ICT among others. To overcome the challenges, incentives should be provided to motivate LIS academics to engage in scholarly publishing, sponsorship of LIS academics to attend international conference to gain confidence, knowledge and experience on scholarly publishing, allocate money for staff to support their scholarly publishing, a compilation of a unified standard list of journals that should be a guide on where to get published.
Uncovering Black Fantastic: Piloting A Word Feature Analysis and Machine Learning Approach for Genre Classification
Authors: Parulian Nikolaus Nova , Dubnicek Ryan , Worthey Glen , Evans Daniel J. , Walsh John A. , Downie J. Stephen 
Published: October 2022

AbstractGiven the size of digital library collections and the inconsistencies in their genre‐related bibliographic metadata, as digital libraries grow and their contents are opened for computational analysis, finding materials of interest becomes a major challenge. This challenge increases for sub‐genres and other categories of text data that are less distinct from the whole. This project pilots machine learning methods and word feature analysis for identifying Black Fantastic genre texts within the HathiTrust Digital Library. These texts are sometimes referred to as “Afrofuturism” but more commonly today described as “Black Fantastic,” in which African Diaspora artists and creators engage with the intersections of race and technology in their works with a primary focus on world‐building. Black Fantastic texts pose a challenge to genre classification, as they incorporate aspects of science fiction and fantasy with typical characteristics of African Diaspora‐produced literature. This paper presents and reports on results from a pilot predictive modeling process to computationally identify Black Fantastic texts using curated word feature sets for each class of data: general English‐language fiction, Black‐authored fiction, and Black Fantastic fiction.
Resilient Information Science
Authors: de Fremery Wayne , Buckland Michael K. , Le Deuff Olivier 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAn information‐resilient society requires the development of a resilient information science. Three different requirements for resilient information science are identified and a constructive contribution presented for each. First the scope and available resources need to be fully identified. Wayne de Fremery draws on his forthcoming book on the bibliographical foundations of information science to suggest how humanistic forms of bibliography can provide resources that support information science. Second, clarity in concepts and definitions is required. Michael Buckland draws on recent work to bring clarity to the centrally important but notoriously unclear topic of “relevance.” Third, concepts and techniques need to be articulated as new technologies emerge. A presentation on access to the evidence behind the news by Olivier Le Deuff will illustrate how the publication of articles can now be enriched with the publication of related evidence, now a critical need with the rise of fake news. A moderated discussion follows.

Platform as Theoretical Framework Rather Than Just Empirical Context: How Information Science Scholars Examine Digital Platforms
Authors: Zhang Mei , Jones Kyle , Zaitsev Anna , Sawyer Steven 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis panel aims to highlight the importance of digital platforms to information science (IS) and in doing this to help connect IS scholars to the important work from other intellectual communities when conducting studies on platforms. The pervasiveness of digital platforms in our lives has encouraged scholars across multiple disciplines to turn their attention to these socio‐technical arrangements. And, over the past two‐plus decades, scholars have advanced multiple conceptualizations and some initial theorizing about digital platforms. This noted, platform‐oriented literature in IS is less focused, and more importantly, does not connect to the conversations on this topic developed in other intellectual communities. To begin connecting IS scholars with platform scholarship outside of our field, this panel brings together IS scholars who have focused their scholarly attention to studying platforms in order to share their research and discuss how their studies could be inspired by and contribute to the platform literature.
Investigating Open Access Publishing Practices of Early and Mid‐Career Researchers in Humanities and Social Sciences Disciplines
Authors: Ayeni Philips , Willson Rebekah 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAlthough open access (OA) to research outputs has been proven to improve research readership, citation, and impact, the uptake of OA in some disciplines has remained low. In this paper, we investigated and compared OA publishing practices of early career and mid‐career researchers in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) disciplines in Canada. The descriptive survey design with the use of online questionnaire was employed. Participants were drawn from a group of 15 public research universities via their openly available emails on university websites. Survey data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings show that in the last three years, 74.1% of mid‐career researchers have published in OA journals, compared to 63.1% of early career researchers. However, OA publishing of monographs (21.3%) and conference proceedings (29.9%), as well as the frequency and extent OA publishing remains low among all participants. ANOVA results (F [2, 218] = 3.683, p = .027, 𝜂2 = .033) showed that 3.3% of the variance in researchers' OA publishing frequency can be attributed to their disciplines. Overall, OA publishing among researchers in the HASS disciplines is still low. Hence, there is a need to identify factors that facilitate or hinder HASS researchers' OA publishing.
Health Information Needs of Public Library Leaders during COVID‐19

Published: October 2022

AbstractDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic of 2020–2021, public library leaders across the United States were forced to make decisions quickly that affected the services and resources they were able to provide. However, the health information they had to make decisions on was imperfect and constantly changing. Interviews with 23 public library managers and directors revealed that more authoritative local data was needed for decision‐making and to share with their service populations. Overwhelmed public health system and/or suspicious or skeptical political environments hindered access to locally‐specific health information. Several respondents were uncomfortable creating information or making decisions without the guidance of health officials. Additionally, the library managers and directors described working as crisis managers, making decisions that impacted the health of their staff and their communities. In capturing and analyzing these “pandemic decision‐making stories,” this research informs future library information responses to community needs during times of crisis.
Preliminary Findings from a Scoping Review of Immigrant‐Related Information Poverty Research in LIS
Authors: Ndumu Ana , Mabi Millicent , Oduntan Olubukola 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to explore connections between immigrant information behaviour and concepts of information poverty. The researchers used the scoping method to examine the immigrant populations, operational definitions, and research methods associated with information poverty. Key findings from this systematic review suggest an overreliance on non‐empirical linkages to information poverty and the need for substantiated knowledge that captures specific immigrant contexts, vulnerabilities, and interventions.
