Authors: Serudji Joserizal , Irawati Nuzulia , Mose Johanes Cornelius , Ali Hirowati , Yusrawati Yusrawati 
Published: September 2022

Background: The blastocyst implants in a relatively hypoxic state. Hypoxic state triggers hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1ɑ) production, upregulates the transcription factor miR-210, and stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by trophoblast cells. HIF-1α also increases the expression of miR-210. High expression of micro-RNA 210 (miR-210) suppresses mitochondrial respiration, increasing ROS production. High level of ROS may result in DNA damage or cell disfunction, thereby impaired trophoblast invasion, leading to early abortion. This study aims to determine the differences of serum HIF-1ɑ levels, miR-210 expressions, and ROS levels between early abortion and normal pregnancy.
Method: This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang, Andalas University Hospital, and 5 Public Health Centers in Padang. Fifty-patients with gestational age less than 12 weeks (25 early abortions and 25 normal pregnancies) were included in this study. All samples were tested for HIF-1ɑ and ROS level using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and miR-210 expression using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Spearman correlation and Mann Whitney test. was used in this study.
Results: Both study groups were equivalent in terms of age, gestational age, and gravidity (p = 0.51, 0.453 and 1.00). The median of HIF-1ɑ level, miR-210 expression, and ROS level were higher in early abortions than normal pregnancies i.e (3.73 vs 3.42) ng/mL (p = 0.016), (43.55 vs 17.85) copies/ng (p = 0.027), and (1.36 vs 1.20) ng/mL (p = 0.003). The coefficient correlations were 0.16 between HIF-1ɑ level and miR-210 expression (p=0.267), 0.46 between HIF-1ɑ level and ROS level (p=0.001), and 0.18 between miR-210 expression and ROS level (p=0.207).
Conclusion: HIF-1ɑ level, miR-210 expression, and ROS level were associated with early abortion. HIF-1ɑ level has a correlation with ROS level.

Biodiversity research and education take place in a socio-cultural ecosystem that connects researchers and educators with the objects and methods of study, with facilities and organizations as well as with the natural and cultural worlds they are embedded in. Data about these different kinds of entities is typically distributed across a wide range of databases and other resources that differ not only in their scope and accessibility but also in the ways in which they model the data and link it to other parts of the knowledge ecosystem.
Over the course of the last ten years, many resources have been integrated systematically with Wikidata - a multilingual, open and FAIR platform for the collaborative curation of general reference data (Vrandečić and Krötzsch 2014). Wikidata approaches data integration and data curation with the "anyone can contribute" spirit that it adopted from its older sibling Wikipedia, extending this spirit to facilitate automated contributions and explorations.
This presentation will zoom in on visualizing biodiversity-related information in Wikidata, highlighting research and education aspects as well as associated curation workflows and the role of standards in enabling, enriching, maintaining, expanding and refining such workflows. Special attention will be paid to demo-ing Scholia, an open-source Wikidata frontend (Nielsen et al. 2017) that can be used to visualize and explore what Wikidata knows about fields of study as well as relevant institutions, taxa, collections, individuals, funders, databases, locations, publications, methodologies, ontologies and related matters, including relevant hypotheses and terminology in multiple languages.
While examples will be drawn from many corners of biodiversity, special emphasis will be given to information pertaining to the study and management of biological invasions (Jeschke et al. 2021).
Digitizing Insect-Plant Interactions: Lessons from the gall collection at the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart

Published: September 2022

As an interaction between insect and plant, galls present unique challenges to natural history collections. Traditionally, insects and plants are stored in different ranges within a museum, and a preserved gall may reasonably be placed in either one. Unidentified galls are especially difficult to categorize, as they may also be formed by non-insect agents (Roskam 2019). There is no uniform curatorial standard, which means that gall specimens do not always fit neatly into museum infrastructure. The gall collection at the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (SMNS) serves as a model to explore the challenges of incorporating ecological interactions into digital and physical infrastructure, as well as the benefits and uses of the resulting digital data.
The entomological collection at SMNS houses an estimated 1000 to 2000 uncatalogued gall specimens, collected over approximately 200 years. Preservation methods include herbarium sheets, envelopes, albums, file folders, cardboard boxes, and folded newspaper. Some galls are also pinned in the dry insect collection alongside their inhabitants. The oldest of these are from the personal collection of Karl von Roser, who collected around Stuttgart in the early 19th century (Fig. 1), although the exact collecting dates and localities are unknown.
The study set included all specimens from the local state, Baden-Württemberg (n=395). Data were digitized via the DiversityCollection application in the Diversity Workbench (Triebel et al. 1999). A new data range was created for galls. Specimens were assigned accession numbers in order by date of collection. Updated taxonomic identifications of gall formers and host plants were included. Unidentified specimens were also accessioned, which would not have been feasible with the pre-existing collection ranges. Representatives of sixty-eight gall-forming species were further selected for photographic digitization (Fig. 2).
Data standardization presented significant challenges. Both taxonomic and geographical nomenclature have changed over the last 200 years, so historical interpretation was often necessary. Geographical coordinates were approximated using Google Maps. This approach was labor intensive and required specialized cultural and linguistic knowledge. However, the end results were worthwhile, including many new faunistic records, discovery of surprisingly undersampled areas (e.g., the Black Forest), and creative implementations of the digital data (a computer game). Future streamlining of the process is needed to facilitate larger-scale ecological studies, such as understanding the effects of climate change and habitat loss on gall communities over time (James et al. 2018).

Published: September 2022

Se presentan los resultados de diversos muestreos llevados a cabo sobre parcelas cultivadas de pistachero en diferentes localidades de Castilla – La Mancha, en las provincias de Ciudad Real, Cuenca y Toledo. Se han encontrado un total de 8 especies de Curculionidae, de 5 géneros (Brachyderes, Otiorhynchus, Polydrusus, Sitona y Lixus) correspondientes a 2 subfamilias: ENTIMINAE y LIXINAE. Brachyderes marginellus, B. pubescens, Polydrusus subglaber, Otiorhynchus cribricollis y Lixus acicularis se han observado alimentándose de hojas de P. vera y se citan por primera vez sobre esta planta huésped. Polydrusus subglaber y Otiorhynchus cribricollis devoran intensamente sus hojas, por lo que se propone seguir investigando estas dos especies como importantes defoliadores de pistacho en la región. Se aportan datos biológicos y corológicos para las especies encontradas.

El género Cerambyx (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) incluye 13 especies con distribución paleártica occidental, siete presentes en Europa y cuatro en la Península Ibérica, todas ellas también registradas en Extremadura: C. cerdo Linnaeus, 1758, C. welensii (Küster, 1845), C. miles Bonelli, 1812 y C. scopolii Fuessly, 1775. Las larvas son xilófagas primarias, perforando la madera viva de árboles sanos o decaídos. Como otros cerambícidos, se incluyen en el diverso ensamble de insectos saproxílicos, un grupo funcional esencial en la degradación de la madera y la potenciación de la biodiversidad. También se han descrito como plagas, pudiendo provocar importantes daños fisiológicos, mecánicos y estructurales. El impacto de los xilófagos en las quercíneas extremeñas ha aumentado alarmantemente en las últimas décadas. Los daños se han atribuido usualmente a C. welensii, pero la evidencia acumulada muestra que este statu quo no es realista, y que C. cerdo contribuye igualmente al decaimiento del arbolado. La escasa información corológica disponible impide efectuar análisis de riesgos del impacto potencial de dichas especies, siendo necesario un conocimiento detallado de su distribución regional. Así, se dispusieron 1826 trampas alimenticias (Red Regional de Muestreo) por toda Extremadura a lo largo de cincoaños (2017-‍2021) durante mayo-agosto en dehesas de encina, alcornoque y melojo. Las trampas cubrieron 437 cuadrículas UTM de 10 × 10 km con una superficie equivalente muestreada de 40.430 km2 (97% de Extremadura). Los registros de las trampas se completaron con otros registros inéditos y bibliográficos. Los datos mostraron: 1) que los registros anteriores a 1980s fueron ocasionales, 2) que C. miles y C. scopolii son especies escasas y localizadas, 3) que C. welensii es una especie ubicua, consistente con su estatus de plaga, 4) que C. cerdo exhibe una distribución generalizada y a menudo abundante, y 5) que la distribución y efectivos poblacionales dependieron del árbol hospedador, destacando que C. welensii fue casi 5 veces más abundante que C. cerdo en alcornoque, y que C. cerdo fue 3-‍4 veces más abundante en encina que en alcornoque o melojo. Los resultados indican que los daños por grandes xilófagos en las dehesas extremeñas tienen como agente causal tanto a C. welensii como a C. cerdo, refutan que C. cerdo es una especie rara y amenazada en la región, y sugieren que la Directiva Hábitats requiere una revisión urgente con el objetivo de eliminar o mitigar el conflicto de intereses entre la protección de C. cerdo y la del ecosistema de dehesa en Extremadura.

El gorgojo Sibinia subelliptica (Desbrochers, 1873) y un rico complejo de parasitoides calcidoides asociados se criaron a partir de inflorescencias de Dianthus giganteus d’Urv. (Caryophyllaceae) en Bulgaria. Se identificaron los siguientes taxones: Aprostocetus venustus (Gahan) y Baryscapus sp. cercana a garganus (Domenichini, 1958) (Eulophidae); Eupelmus barai Fusu y E. microzonus Förster (Eupelmidae); Aximopsis augasmae (Zerova), A. collina (Zerova), Eurytoma coleophorae Zerova y E. coleopterae Zerova (Eurytomidae); Catolaccus crassiceps (Masi) y Pteromalus ochrocerus (Thomson) (Pteromalidae); y Exopristus trigonomerus (Masi) (Torymidae). Dos de éstos, E. coleophorae y E. coleopterae, son registrados como nuevos para Bulgaria. Todas las mencionadas relaciones parasitoide-hospedador se documentan por primera vez, así como se registra por primera vez la asociación de la planta D. giganteus con todos los parasitoides obtenidos, excepto en los casos de E. barai y E. microzonus. Se establece la nueva asociación trófica de S. subelliptica con D. giganteus.

Georges Moreau fut professeur de physique à la faculté des sciences de Rennes de 1895 à 1935 ; il fut aussi un physicien, atomiste convaincu, étudiant les ions produits par les flammes et les vapeurs salines ; mais il fut surtout un administrateur, le doyen de sa faculté. Moreau, figure locale, garant du savoir scientifique, répond en Bretagne aux ambitions générales d’une génération de savants, enfants de la Troisième République, qui idéalise le pragmatisme scientifique, promouvant les applications de la science et sa portée économique.
Louis de Broglie a-t-il adhéré à l’interprétation de Copenhague (1928-1952) ?
Authors: Vila Valls Adrien 
Published: September 2022

« Père fondateur1 » de la mécanique ondulatoire grâce à son hypothèse de la dualité onde-corpuscule en 1923, Louis de Broglie a connu une trajectoire intellectuelle et scientifique tourmentée et controversée. Celle-ci se structure autour de deux moments clefs : l’abandon, en 1928, de ses tentatives d’interprétation déterministe et réaliste de la théorie quantique, au profit de l’adoption d’un des avatars de l’interprétation dite « de Copenhague », et le retour, au début des années 1950, au « programme causal ». En nous appuyant sur les écrits de Louis de Broglie nous tâcherons de comprendre la position dans laquelle il s’est replié pendant la longue période qui sépare ces deux « revirements2 ».
Collaboration and Sharing Resources and Services among Institute Libraries of the National Universities in Sri Lanka: with recommendations for improvement
Authors: Ratnayake R. M. S. N. 
Published: September 2022

The need for resource sharing among libraries has become even more important today with constraints of finance, space, and manpower. Specific objectives of this study were to develop a database / directory on the resources available in the institute libraries, to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the institute libraries and librarians in the University sector and to help each other to overcome the weaknesses. Study used a multi-strategy approach called ‘triangulation’ to collect data and study instruments was literature review, questionnaires and interviews used to analyzed the documents generated by the organizations. This study delineates the ways of collaboration and web-based library cooperation with the conclusion that the automation of libraries and effective formation of country consortium can only promote the effective library cooperation for access to worldwide information and global resource sharing. Current study also recommends that government or UGC should take up development project to provide appropriate Digital Library databases and provide ICT raining at global standard. Further, the study recommends that the libraries should seek for workable partnership efforts, so that the benefits derivable will help them optimize information services delivery, partnership among libraries and related institutions, should be strengthened by the leaders of the organizations through understanding, partnering parties should struggle and cope with changes through professional development so that they can adapt to their new roles, partnering libraries should examine the partnership mission in the light of individual and institutional values before venturing into it, libraries should develop alternative sources of funding than depending solely on their parent institutions.

Published: September 2022

Introduction:
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is associated with high interobserver and intraobserver disagreement. With the exponential increase in the applicability of artificial intelligence tools such as deep learning (DL) in pathology, it would now be possible to achieve high accuracy and objectivity in grading of OED. In this research work, we have proposed a DL approach to epithelial dysplasia grading by creating a convolutional neural network (CNN) model from scratch.

Materials and Methods:
The dataset includes 445 high-resolution ×400 photomicrographs captured from histopathologically diagnosed cases of high-risk dysplasia (HR) and normal buccal mucosa (NBM) that were used to train, validate and test the two-dimensional CNN (2DCNN) model.

Results:
The whole dataset was divided into 60% training set, 20% validation set and 20% test set. The model achieved training accuracy of 97.21%, validation accuracy of 90% and test accuracy of 91.30%.

Conclusion:
The DL model was able to distinguish between normal epithelium and HR epithelial dysplasia with high grades of accuracy. These results are encouraging for researchers to formulate DL models to grade and classify OED using various grading systems.
Auditory Steady-State Responses to Narrow-Band Chirps in Predicting Aided Behavioral Thresholds
Authors: Vanaja C. S. , Kunjir Ashwini 
Published: September 2022

Purpose:
A review of the existing literature shows that auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) to narrow-band (NB) chirps analyzed using q sample averaging is more reliable and accurate than ASSR for modulated tones in predicting behavioral thresholds. Studies in this direction have been carried out to predict hearing sensitivity. However, there is a dearth of studies investigating ASSR for NB chirps in persons using hearing aids. The present study evaluated if ASSR for NB chirps analyzed using q sample averaging could be used to predict aided behavioral thresholds during the hearing aid selection. Specifically, the study investigated the agreement and differences between behavioral thresholds predicted from aided ASSR with aided behavioral thresholds.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective analysis of clinical records of 24 ears with hearing loss were carried out. The age of the children ranged from 3 to 5 years. Aided behavioral thresholds and aided ASSR for NB chirps were recorded at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz.

Results:
Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed no significant difference between aided thresholds predicted through aided ASSR and measured behavioral thresholds for all four frequencies. The Bland–Altman analysis also showed that the results of the two tests are comparable for all four frequencies.

Conclusions:
Aided ASSR can predict aided behavioral thresholds in children who fail to provide voluntary responses to behavioral tests, but the results need to be crosschecked using other measures. ASSR can thus be added to the protocol used for hearing aid fitting and validation in young children.
Effectiveness of a Short Course on Undergraduate Medical Students' Acquisition of Basic Ultrasound Skills
Authors: Hendi Ali Mohammed 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Medical schools in Saudi Arabia generally do not integrate ultrasound training in undergraduate medical study despite its widespread use.

Objective:
To determine the efficiency of a short course in acquiring basic ultrasound skills at the undergraduate medical level.

Subjects and Methods:
Fourth-year medical students of Jazan University (2016/2017; N = 118) were divided into 13 groups. A radiology expert provided each group with a 50-min lecture on “ultrasound in clinical practice” and a 2-h hands-on ultrasound training session. Then, the students were invited to participate in the study by completing a questionnaire eliciting data regarding their opinion, experiences, and satisfaction level for the session and then undertaking skill assessment using two OSCE stations.

Results:
Eighty-one students (68.6%) were enrolled in the study (male: 42; female: 39). The mean scores were high for handling the probe (4.33 ± 1.01) and identifying kidney (4.46 ± 1.08) and liver (4.22 ± 0.97), and moderate for identifying spleen (3.89 ± 0.75), aorta (3.35 ± 0.44), and hepatorenal pouch (3.05 ± 0.35). The students were highly satisfied with the course (4.37 ± 1.01). In the first OSCE station that assessed ultrasound techniques, the mean score was 14.96 (of 18 points; 83.11%) for males and 15.40 (85.56%) for females. In the second station that used static ultrasound image with common pathology, the mean score was 2.4 (of 2.5 points) for both males and females.

Conclusion:
Undergraduate medical students in this study gained adequate skills and satisfaction in terms of using ultrasound and identifying anatomy following the short course. This study highlights the benefits of introducing programs dedicated to ultrasound for undergraduate medical students in Saudi Arabia.
Effect of Hanna Somatic Education on Low Back and Neck Pain Levels
Authors: Huang Qiuju , Babgi Amani Ali 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Neck and low back pain are very common worldwide. Hanna somatic education (HSE) is a method of neuromuscular (mind–body) movement retraining that helps in managing pain, but its efficacy has not yet been studied.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical effect of HSE on low back and neck pain and determine differences in pain, use of pain medication, and number of doctor visits before and after 6 months of HSE sessions.

Methodology:
This retrospective study included patients with neck and/or low back pain of >2-month duration who underwent HSE sessions between January 2016 and January 2018 and completed a minimum one follow-up session. Two to five one-to-one sessions of 40–60 min once every 1–2 weeks for 2–8 weeks were provided for each patient. Pain levels were recorded at each visit using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Data regarding medication use and number of doctor visits for pain management were also recorded.

Results:
A total of 103 patients were included, of which 81 (78.6%) were female. Completing a mean 2.8 HSE sessions resulted in a significant pain level reduction. There were significant reductions in the mean low back, neck, and low back + neck pain values between the first and the last visits (P < 0.001). In the 6 months before and after the HSE intervention, the number of patients using pain medication decreased from 53 (53.5%) to 14 (13.6%), respectively, and the mean number of doctor visits reduced significantly from 2 (±1.6) to 0.5 (±1.16) (P < 0.001), respectively.

Conclusion:
Clinical sessions of HSE were found to significantly reduce chronic spinal pain. Further investigations are recommended regarding evidence-based treatment of HSE in patients with muscles pain.
