Contextual Factors Affecting the Cooperation of Vietnamese Academic Libraries in Information Resource Sharing
Authors: Van Do Hung , Dorner Daniel G. , Calvert Philip 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe research examines the contextual landscape of academic libraries in Vietnam with the intention of discovering and exploring the barriers and enablers of cooperation in information resource sharing. The aim of this research is to address the principal question of: what are the contextual factors affecting the cooperation of academic libraries in information resource sharing in Vietnam? The interpretive study employed a mixed-methods approach and its findings are based on the analysis of data gathered from key informant interviews (20 library directors) and surveys (145 librarians, 182 students, and 46 lecturers) from 20 universities, as well as from documentary evidence. The participants involved in this study include library directors, librarians, and information users. Data shows that there are contextual factors affecting the cooperation in information resource sharing in terms of policies, directors’ attitudes, cooperative culture, IT infrastructure, information resources, lack of standards, and inappropriate funding roles of professional associations. Based on the findings, a model for cooperation in information resource sharing was developed with the contextual factors. The outcome of this research provides a model which incorporates the contextual factors influencing information resource sharing among academic libraries in Vietnam. To that extent, it contributes to our knowledge of information resource sharing in general, especially in regard to developing countries and more specifically to Vietnam. An acknowledgment of these factors will encourage more academic libraries to collaborate in sharing information resources in order to meet the demands of information users.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
New topic modeling technique has been increasingly used in research of communication for quick discovery of latent topics that are spread across huge volumes of text. This work intends to analyze and compare the topics automatically generated by Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). The data for building LDA model in this work is based on 38,124 articles published from 1991 through 2016 in one of the world’s most influential political and economic magazines, The Economist. The retrieved documents for generating topics are divided into three countries of the UK, the US, and China in order to observe topical differences between these ingroup or outgroup countries in The Economist coverage. The work analyzes interpretability, overall weight distributions, and historical changing patterns of the topics using LDA model diagnostics. It discusses the hot or increasing trends using regression coefficient. The work also tentatively explores the relationship between the media agenda and events.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe service conditions of rubber seals are primarily in the dynamic sliding state, with a high coefficient of friction, which can seriously compromise the equipment’s safety and the services’ lifespan. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been the ideal candidate for tribological modification of rubber surfaces due to their excellent tribological properties over the last two decades. This field can be widely discussed as a hard film on soft substrates, where the challenge is the mismatch of mechanical properties, leading to the exfoliation of DLC films in friction. Early work developed the DLC films with a segment structure to solve this critical issue, illustrating the possibility of wear-resistant rubber. In recent years, researchers have paid attention to further increasing the coated rubber’s lifetime in friction, focusing on adhesion. These research achievements were reviewed on the aspects of structurization, adhesion, and doping in this article. It proposed an alternative direction of understanding the surface wear mechanism for designing wear-resistant DLC films on rubber.

Abstract
Studies on climate change and sustainability have been gaining interest within the global preservation and conservation communities. However, studies related to sustainability in library preservation and conservation, especially in academic libraries, are still limited. This study aims to determine current practices of sustainable library preservation and conservation in academic libraries. The findings of this study will serve as a starting point to obtaining a comprehensive understanding of how academic libraries are implementing climate change–responsible preservation and conservation programs. This study applies quantitative and descriptive approaches to collect data. A questionnaire was distributed to the top 200 universities in the Universitas Indonesia (UI) GreenMetric World University Rankings 2021. The results show that current practices of sustainable library preservation and conservation implemented at the majority of academic libraries relate to sustainable energy use. Although some areas still need to be developed (e.g., policy and regulation toward sustainable library preservation and conservation practices, alternative eco-friendly preservation and conservation materials, and waste management practices), the fact that academic libraries have implemented sustainable practices in preservation and conservation is noted as a positive finding, since it represents success in universities’ efforts to address the climate change issue.

Dysfunction of the peripheral auditory nerve (AN) contributes to dynamic changes throughout the central auditory system, resulting in abnormal auditory processing, including hypersensitivity. Altered sound sensitivity is frequently observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting that AN deficits and changes in auditory information processing may contribute to ASD-associated symptoms, including social communication deficits and hyperacusis. The MEF2C transcription factor is associated with risk for several neurodevelopmental disorders, and mutations or deletions ofMEF2Cproduce a haploinsufficiency syndrome characterized by ASD, language, and cognitive deficits. A mouse model of this syndromic ASD (Mef2c-Het) recapitulates many of theMEF2Chaploinsufficiency syndrome-linked behaviors, including communication deficits. We show here thatMef2c-Het mice of both sexes exhibit functional impairment of the peripheral AN and a modest reduction in hearing sensitivity. We find that MEF2C is expressed during development in multiple AN and cochlear cell types; and inMef2c-Het mice, we observe multiple cellular and molecular alterations associated with the AN, including abnormal myelination, neuronal degeneration, neuronal mitochondria dysfunction, and increased macrophage activation and cochlear inflammation. These results reveal the importance of MEF2C function in inner ear development and function and the engagement of immune cells and other non-neuronal cells, which suggests that microglia/macrophages and other non-neuronal cells might contribute, directly or indirectly, to AN dysfunction and ASD-related phenotypes. Finally, our study establishes a comprehensive approach for characterizing AN function at the physiological, cellular, and molecular levels in mice, which can be applied to animal models with a wide range of human auditory processing impairments.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThis is the first report of peripheral auditory nerve (AN) impairment in a mouse model of humanMEF2Chaploinsufficiency syndrome that has well-characterized ASD-related behaviors, including communication deficits, hyperactivity, repetitive behavior, and social deficits. We identify multiple underlying cellular, subcellular, and molecular abnormalities that may contribute to peripheral AN impairment. Our findings also highlight the important roles of immune cells (e.g., cochlear macrophages) and other non-neuronal elements (e.g., glial cells and cells in the stria vascularis) in auditory impairment in ASD. The methodological significance of the study is the establishment of a comprehensive approach for evaluating peripheral AN function and impact of peripheral AN deficits with minimal hearing loss.

AbstractFlavonoids are the most abundant components in Salvia plebeia, with significant pharmacological antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. Hispidulin and homoplantaginin are the main flavonoid components in S. Plebeia. In this study, we established an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to determine hispidulin and homoplantaginin in rat plasma samples, which were precipitated using acetonitrile-methanol (9:1, v/v). We used a UPLC HSS T3 (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm diameter) chromatographic column, an acetonitrile-water (containing 0.1% formic acid) mobile phase, and a gradient elution flow rate of 0.4 mL min−1 in an elution time of 4 min. We used electrospray ionization (ESI) detection in positive ion mode, and multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) for quantitative analysis: m/z 301 → 286 for hispidulin, m/z 463 → 301 for homoplantaginin, and m/z 465 → 303 for internal standard (IS). In pharmacokinetic studies, 24 rats were orally administered hispidulin and homoplantaginin (5 mg kg−1) and received sublingual intravenous injections (1 mg kg−1) at two different doses, four groups with six rats/group. Differences in hispidulin and homoplantaginin pharmacokinetics in rat plasma were evaluated. The calibration curve showed good linearity in the 0.5–1,000 ng mL−1 range, with r > 0.99. Precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effects, and stability results all met standard biological sample detection requirements. Our pharmacokinetic studies showed hispidulin bioavailability was much higher than homoplantaginin at 17.8% and 0.1%, respectively.

Salinity stress (SS) is serious abiotic stress and a major limiting factor for crop productivity and global food security. In this context, the application of osmolytes is considered as an environmental friend approach to improve plant growth under SS. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the impact of foliar applied proline (Pro) and acetic acid (AA) on growth, yield, physiological traits, photosynthetic pigments, ionic homeostasis and antioxidant activities of wheat under SS. The study contained SS levels 0, 6 and 12 dS m-1 and foliar spray of Pro and AA; water spray, Pro (75 mM), AA (15 mM) and AA (30 mM). The study was conducted in a completely randomized design with the factorial arrangement. Salinity stress significantly reduced wheat growth and yield, by decreasing relative water contents (-49.07%), photosynthetic pigments, free amino acids (FAA: -44.79%), total soluble proteins (TSP: -15.94%) and increasing the electrolyte leakage (EL: +27.28%), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2: +51.86%), and malondialdehyde (MDA: +36.91%) accumulation. The foliar spray of Pro and AA markedly improved the wheat growth and productivity through enhanced photosynthetic pigments, RWC, FAA, TSP, antioxidant activities (catalase: CAT, ascorbate peroxide: APX: peroxidase: POD), K+ and Ca2+ uptake and decreasing EL, MDA and H2O2 accumulation and restricted entry of toxic ions (Na+ and Cl-1). Therefore, foliar application of AA and Pro effectively improves the growth and yield of wheat under SS by strengthening the antioxidant defense system, and maintaining ionic homeostasis and physiological performance.
Assessment of Kappa Values in the Chilean Subduction Zone for Interface and In-Slab Events
Authors: Pozo Ignacio , Montalva Gonzalo , Miller Matthew 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
One way to study the physical process that occurs behind earthquakes and how they affect different sites depending on the source type and the geological structure of the site is the shape of the Fourier spectrum. A parameter related to the shape of the spectrum is the spectral decay factor—kappa (κ), which characterizes how the amplitude of the Fourier acceleration spectrum decays at high frequencies. The parameter κ can be important in the characterization and estimation of the surface seismic demand, being useful in, for example, the adjustment of ground-motion prediction equations. We calculate the values of κ and its site component κ​0 from 36 seismic stations of the National Seismological Network of Chile to determine the dependence that this parameter has to the site conditions as well as to the properties of the path in which greater values of κ are observed for subduction earthquakes that occur in the interface between the Nazca and the South American plates, compared with the values obtained from events occurring inside the subducting plate, known as in-slab earthquakes. We find that κ​0, calculated using the hypocentral distance correlates more closely with the site fundamental frequency f​0, rather than the commonly used V​S30 (time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m). Our kappa value results are field estimates of near-surface attenuation, which can be used to calculate the minimum site-specific damping or crustal attenuation in seismological models that have a strong impact on seismic site characterization, particularly, in subduction settings.
Mechanical Models of Fault-Slip Rates in the Transverse and Peninsular Ranges, California
Authors: Devine Savannah , Harper Hugh , Marshall Scott T. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Transverse and Peninsular Ranges of Southern California host a geometrically complex network of seismically active faults with a range of slip senses. Here, we present 3D mechanical models of this region that are driven by the total Pacific-North American plate motion and slip on the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Garlock faults. Based on these boundary conditions, we solve for the full 3D distribution of slip rates on 83 faults and compare model slip-rate predictions to long-term slip-rate data from Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast version 3 (UCERF3) as well as individual geologic point-based estimates of long-term slip. About 46/68 (68%) model-predicted average fault-slip rates are within the UCERF3 slip-rate ranges with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.03 mm/yr to the nearest (upper or lower) UCERF3 limit. The largest slip-rate discrepancies occur on the San Gabriel, Pine Mountain, and Big Pine faults, which may be presently inactive. We find that removing these three faults (i.e., assuming they are inactive) results in an improvement in all goodness-of-fit metrics with 47/63 (75%) UCERF3 slip rates fit with an RMSE of 0.40 mm/yr. We also compare this same model to existing point-based long-term slip-rate estimates and fit 39/69 (60%) with an RMSE of 0.79 mm/yr. The ability for the model to fit independent slip-rate data implies that strike slip along the “Big Bend” of the San Andreas fault (in conjunction with slip on the Garlock and San Jacinto faults) along with total plate motion is sufficient to reproduce both reverse-slip rates throughout the Transverse ranges and strike-slip rates in the Peninsular Ranges regions without additional driving forces needed. Overall, the models provide slip rates and distributions for 83 faults, including faults that currently do not have geologic slip-rate estimates and/or may not produce interseismic deformation.
Fine Structure of the Subducting Slab and the 2022 M 7.4 Fukushima–Oki Intraslab Earthquake

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The 16 March 2022 M 7.4 Fukushima–Oki earthquake is the largest one among forearc intraslab earthquakes in Japan since 2000. These subcoast events can cause severe damage to the local society because of their proximity to inhabited areas. However, their generating mechanism is still not clear. Here, we present 3D high-resolution seismic tomography of the source zone of four large intraslab events (M ≥7.0) during 2003–2022 in northeast Japan, which is obtained by inverting high-quality arrival-time data recorded at both onshore and offshore seismic stations. Aftershocks of the subcoast intraslab earthquakes are mainly distributed in gaps of high-velocity bodies with high Poisson’s ratio and at the upper ∼20 km depth of the subducting Pacific slab. Our results indicate that the four large intraslab events were caused by rupturing of buried hydrated faults that formed at the outer rise and dehydration embrittlement on the fault planes.

Sociological Factors of the Influence of the Educational Environment on the Professional Burnout of University Teachers
Authors: Samsonova Evgeniya 
Published: September 2022

The article presents the results of the author's research conducted in the universities of the city of Novosibirsk. The author proceeds from the fact that the modernisation of education has an impact not only on the educational process as part of the optimisation of teaching, conditions and quality of education, but also on its participants, including teachers.
The implementation of the national project &amp;quot;Education&amp;quot;, the transition to digital technologies in education, modern socio-political and economic realities lead to fundamental changes in the conditions for the functioning of higher educational institutions, an increase in the requirements for the quality of professional training and the emergence of new functions and responsibilities of teachers. Practice shows that innovations have both a positive and a negative impact on the educational environment and teachers themselves as key subjects in the implementation of educational activities. Based on the results of the analysis of the data collected during the field study, the author comes to the conclusion that professional burnout of a teacher as a response syndrome, manifested in exhaustion, reduced productivity, and depersonalisation, is a consequence of a system of factors. Based on the results of the study, the author considers a wide range of professional risks, highlighting the causes and managerial variables that contribute to the manifestation of professional burnout among teachers. The research tools allowed to determine the causes of professional burnout, the presence of symptoms and signs, the level of exhaustion, depersonalisation and reduction. The analysis of the data obtained led to the conclusion that the complication of the conditions of professional activity due to the action of a system of sociological factors leads to an increase in the number of teachers with a pronounced degree of professional burnout, regardless of the level of the position held, while the dependence of the degree of burnout on the experience of teaching was established. The areas of professional activity that are most vulnerable to deformations and possible measures for the prevention and overcoming of the professional burnout syndrome are also identified. It has been established that the professional burnout of teachers negatively affects the quality of the educational process, leads to problems in the staffing of universities and requires the development of managerial decisions to optimise the educational environment in order to minimise professional risks and reduce the negative impact of factors on the health and activities of university teachers.

Objectives. To detail baseline drinking water sample lead concentrations and features of US state-level programs and policies to test school drinking water for lead in 7 states’ operating programs between 2016 and 2018. Methods. We coded program and policy documents using structured content analysis protocols and analyzed state-provided data on lead concentration in drinking water samples collected in public schools during initial testing phases. Results. We analyzed data from 5688 public schools, representing 35% of eligible schools in 7 states. The number of samples per school varied. The proportion of schools identifying any sample lead concentration exceeding 5 parts per billion varied (13%–81%). Four states exceeded 20%. Other program features varied among states. Instances of lead above the state action level were identified in all states. Conclusions. In 2018, many US public school students attended schools in states without drinking water lead-testing programs. Testing all drinking water sources may be recommended. Public Health Implications. Initiating uniform school drinking water lead testing programs and surveillance over time could be used to reduce risk of lead exposure in drinking water.
