description: Muco-obstructive lung diseases (MOLDs), like cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, affect a spectrum of subjects globally. In MOLDs, the airway mucus becomes hyperconcentrated, increasing osmotic and viscoelastic moduli and impairing mucus clearance. MOLD research requires relevant sources of healthy airway mucus for experimental manipulation and analysis. Mucus collected from endotracheal tubes (ETT) may represent such a source with benefits, e.g., in vivo production, over canonical sample types such as sputum or human bronchial epithelial (HBE) mucus. Ionic and biochemical compositions of ETT mucus from healthy human subjects were characterized and a stock of pooled ETT samples generated. Pooled ETT mucus exhibited concentration-dependent rheologic properties that agreed across spatial scales with reported individual ETT samples and HBE mucus. We suggest that the practical benefits compared with other sample types make ETT mucus potentially useful for MOLD research.

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: This study is to explore the cognitive components of therapists’ information seeking behavior in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. According to the high power of neuroscience tools in the analysis of immediate cognitive components, Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) was used. Following, five of the therapists were selected by random sampling from a variety of researchers and entered in the research process. To gather data, some tools such as QEEG and Morae software were used. The findings showed that the brain waves of the therapists in the early stages of Kuhlthau’s ISP revealed extensive cognitive activities. As the therapists moved on to the final stages of Kuhlthau’s ISP, these cognitive activities diminished and the brain emotions overcame. Based on the findings, the best step for librarian intervention to guide and assist clinicians was stage 3 of Kuhlthau’s ISP. Also, findings indicated that the therapists’ information seeking behavior in the cognitive actions section was similar to the Kuhlthau’s ISP Model. Finally, it can be concluded that based on modern neuroscience and information technology tools, one can provide a better understanding of the up-to-the-minute process of therapists’ information seeking behavior, and due to smart and personalized systems , provide at the right moment, the appropriate information to the users. This evolution can be a major step in promoting information seeking behavior and advancing in the user information needs momently.

description: Although destructive airway disease is evident in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF), little is known about the nature of the early CF lung environment triggering the disease. To elucidate early CF pulmonary pathophysiology, we performed mucus, inflammation, metabolomic, and microbiome analyses on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from 46 preschool children with CF enrolled in the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) program and 16 non-CF disease controls. Total airway mucins were elevated in CF compared to non-CF BALF irrespective of infection, and higher densities of mucus flakes containing mucin 5B and mucin 5AC were observed in samples from CF patients. Total mucins and mucus flakes correlated with inflammation, hypoxia, and oxidative stress. Many CF BALFs appeared sterile by culture and molecular analyses, whereas other samples exhibiting bacterial taxa associated with the oral cavity. Children without computed tomography–defined structural lung disease exhibited elevated BALF mucus flakes and neutrophils, but little/no bacterial infection. Although CF mucus flakes appeared “permanent” because they did not dissolve in dilute BALF matrix, they could be solubi-lized by a previously unidentified reducing agent (P2062), but not N-acetylcysteine or deoxyribonuclease. These findings indicate that early CF lung disease is characterized by an increased mucus burden and inflammatory markers without infection or structural lung disease and suggest that mucolytic and anti-inflammatory agents should be explored as preventive therapy.

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: Machine indexing Provides compatibility between classification codes and indexing terms, extracted expressions and words automatically from a Compiled thesaurus.. In designing an auto-indexing system, computer completely replaces humans. The purpose of this research was to identifying and extracting keywords and the subject trends of articles in the field of information retrieval and the subject’s specificity of the author of each article by using the text mining and categorizing (classifying) with the help of concurrence vocabularies. The method of this research is applied and based on the CRISP model of data mining and text mining algorithms are used. The research population consists of 313 articles in the field of information retrieval indexed in the Normmags database. After normalizing the text of the articles by the Virastyar software, and after text mining of the articles by version 7.1 of the RapidMiner software, the keywords were extracted by calculating their weight and were analyzed using two classical classification algorithms consisting of KNN and Naïve Bayse.In this study, the computer automatically indexed the readable machine text by using the frequency of the words with the help of the text mining tools of RapidMiner software. For this purpose, we use N-gram operators and calculate the weight of the words according to TF-IDF method. Terms and key concepts and subject and specialization of author of each article are extracted in the form of 16 categories. Finally, the superiority of the KNN model in categorization of the core subjects of the papers, this study is proving to be 85% more accurate than the Naïve bayse model. Finding the results of calculating the accuracy of the models indicate the acceptable performance of the RapidMiner software in machine indexing of texts. Indexing texts by using this method can help improve the results of information retrieval and prevent false dropping of information in databases.
Study on Usability of Non-topical Terms Used in Indexing of Islamic Sciences Resources in Information Retrieval
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: The present research aimed to find out the usability of non-topical terms used in indexing of Islamic sciences resources in information retrieval process. The research population carried out with analytical survey method, was the users of the Islamic Sciences Information Management Database designed by Institute of Islamic Information and Document Management. A sample of 50 researchers familiar with the Islamic Sciences Information Management Database were selected by purposive convenience sampling method. Data gathering tools used in this study were three questionnaires developed by the researchers. The first questionnaire evaluated the end users’ experience of the database, the second one was an open-ended questionnaire to get feedback from users about the retrieval process and the third one was a close-ended questionnaire related to the research hypotheses. The questionnaires validity was determined by information retrieval and storage specialists, and their reliability was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha test. Inferential statistics was applied to test the research hypotheses. Research findings indicate that using non-topical terms for expanding search query in Islamic Sciences Information Management Database led to desirable results. However, developing non-topical terms based on suggestions from end users is necessary. Findings also showed that there was a proper equivalence relationship among non-topical terms. Findings of present research indicated that paying attention to non-topical terms and using equivalence relationship between them along with applying topical terms can lead to relevant and desired results in information search and retrieval.

description: We study the collective excitations in a dissipative charged fluid at zero chemical potential when an external magnetic field is present. While in the absence of magnetic field, four collective excitations appear in the fluid, we find five hydrodynamic modes in presence of magnetic field. This implies that the magnetic field splits the degeneracy between the transverse shear modes. Using linear response theory, we then compute the retarded response functions. In particular, it turns out that the correlation between charge and the energy fluctuations will no longer vanish, even at zero chemical potential. By use of the response functions, we also derive the relevant Kubo formulas for the transport coefficients.

Assessment of User Satisfaction of Research Theses and Dissertations in Iranian Scientific Database (Ganj): Based on E-Qual Model
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: The increasing growth of web usage has made the importance of search engines and their quality assessment more responsive to users’ needs. One of the approaches to quality assessment is user satisfaction. The use of a search engine depends on user satisfaction, which is a measure of the quality of the search engine. Many search engines have been built in Iran. Some of these engines are widely used in searching information on the web, and some are found in a database. Iran scientific information database (Ganj) is one of the databases that has its own search engine. It contains nearly 530,000 dissertations and thesis and is one of the key scientific databases in the country with many users. Assessing the satisfaction of users of this system with its broad audience is crucial. In this research, indicators based on E-Qual model were developed to evaluate users’ satisfaction with Ganj System. Indices developed based on the Delphi method were screened and localized to assess users’ satisfaction with Ganj System. User satisfaction was also assessed using an E-Qual questionnaire. The results of the data analysis of the 156 questionnaires collected show that usability, information, and service interaction are the significant determinants of users’ satisfaction with Ganj system, respectively. In terms of usability, the ease of working with Ganj is a top priority. Likewise, the ease of interaction with the system and the apparent attractiveness of the system were introduced as the main factors.
The Architecture of Farsi Knowledge Graph System
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: The knowledge graph plays an important role in the Semantic Web and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. There are many knowledge bases in different languages, however lack of Farsi-specific knowledge base appears some defects in research and industrial applications. In this study, the most comprehensive knowledge base in Farsi language is presented, which consists of more than 500K of entities and 7 million relations, which is accessible in an open source repository. Data is supplied from four sources: Farsi Wikipedia and its structured data such as infoboxes, web tables, Wiki tables, and a relation extraction module. A variety of challenges of triple extraction from web tables, especially wiki tables, is addressed and some solutions to tackle these challenges are offered. According to the semantic web, RDF data model and OWL2 ontology employed to implement the Farsi Knowledge Graph (FKG). Resources and their relations are stored in triple format, therefor access to the knowledge graph is provided by a SPARQL endpoint. The FKG consists of several main parts including triple extraction from raw text, triple extraction from structured data, knowledge base creation, a search system on the knowledge base, and an entity linking module. In this paper, overall architecture of these parts is discussed in detail. One of the major contribution of this work is mapping of the ontology to the FarsNet, the Persian WordNet, for research purposes. In this graph, there are a large amount of information on a variety of topics including famous people, important places, organizations and companies, literary and art works, physiology, biology, events, species, astronomy, etc. For evaluation purposes, a small part of triples were randomly collected to build a test dataset for manually inspection. Experimental results demonstrate that more than 94% of triples were obtained correctly through the process of extraction, conversion, mapping, transformation and store. Future of internet according to the semantic web will be a complex and huge global knowledge base, therefor the FKG can play a significant role in developingthis emerging technology.

description: In this paper we address the problem of performing statistical inference for large scale data sets i.e., Big Data. The volume and dimensionality of the data may be so high that it cannot be processed or stored in a single computing node. We propose a scalable, statistically robust and computationally efficient bootstrap method, compatible with distributed processing and storage systems. Bootstrap resamples are constructed with smaller number of distinct data points on multiple disjoint subsets of data, similarly to the bag of little bootstrap method (BLB) [1]. Then significant savings in computation is achieved by avoiding the re-computation of the estimator for each bootstrap sample. Instead, a computationally efficient fixed-point estimation equation is analytically solved via a smart approximation following the Fast and Robust Bootstrap method (FRB) [2]. Our proposed bootstrap method facilitates the use of highly robust statistical methods in analyzing large scale data sets. The favorable statistical properties of the method are established analytically. Numerical examples demonstrate scalability, low complexity and robust statistical performance of the method in analyzing large data sets.

A new approach to perform fuzzy queries over NoSQL database databases
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: Today, due to massive amount of information, NoSQL databases are used to compute complex data. These databases are used to store semi-structured and unstructured data for big data management. In this paper, fuzzy queries are executed by users on the information stored in the Neo4j graph database, which show results in defuzzy manner. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method, we considered a database of manufacturing company. Price and quality fuzzy variables were considered and used to define and execute the fuzzy queries. The results can verify the performance of the proposed method. Additionally, a counselor (who has information about the data) defines fuzzy terms, membership functions, and fuzzy rules table. The most important process in this method is to find the center of gravity in order to defuzzify the final result. So, an algorithm has been implemented for this purpose by C # programming language. The greatest query time is due to find center of gravity. The evaluation results show that the increase in query time by using the proposed approach in comparison to query time by using Cypher language is acceptable due to the complexity of fuzzy concepts. Therefore, the proposed solution will be suitable for using ambiguous and fuzzy queries in large databases.

description: Background: We and others have shown that the gamma tocopherol (γT) isoform of vitamin E has multiple anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions and that γT supplementation reduces eosinophilic and endotoxin (LPS)-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation in animal models and healthy human volunteers. Objective: We sought to determine whether γT supplementation reduces eosinophilic airway inflammation and acute neutrophilic response to inhaled LPS challenge in volunteers with asthma. Methods: Participants with mild asthma were enrolled in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study to assess the effect of 1200 mg of γT daily for 14 days on sputum eosinophils, mucins, and cytokines. We also assessed the effect on acute inflammatory response to inhaled LPS challenge following γT treatment, focusing on changes in sputum neutrophilia, mucins, and cytokines. Mucociliary clearance was measured using gamma scintigraphy. Results: Fifteen subjects with mild asthma completed both arms of the study. Compared with placebo, γT notably reduced pre-LPS challenge sputum eosinophils and mucins, including mucin 5AC and reduced LPS-induced airway neutrophil recruitment 6 and 24 hours after challenge. Mucociliary clearance was slowed 4 hours postchallenge in the placebo group but not in the γT treatment group. Total sputum mucins (but not mucin 5AC) were reduced at 24 hours postchallenge during γT treatment compared with placebo. Conclusions: When compared with placebo, γT supplementation for 14 days reduced inflammatory features of asthma, including sputum eosinophils and mucins, as well as acute airway response to inhaled LPS challenge. Larger scale clinical trials are needed to assess the efficacy of γT supplements as a complementary or steroid-sparing treatment for asthma.
A new Conceptual Architecture for Knowledge Management in Enterprise 2.0 based on Open Innovation
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: Nowadays, one of the key issues in enterprise 2.0 is how to use the innovative knowledge of users and customers systematically and purposely, and also benefit from the knowledge sharing in organizational processes. One effective approach is to make use of an open innovation approach leading to improvement of knowledge flows into the organization. However, to date, specific knowledge management architecture for managing such knowledge flow based on the open innovation approach has not been studied in enterprise 2.0 yet. In this research a new campestral architecture is introduced for knowledge management in enterprise 2.0 that is based on open innovation approach. For this purpose, grounded theory, a qualitative inductive research has been used with emphasis on content analysis of documents and related research studies. The results of content analysis show that the key intersection between knowledge management sharing, enterprise 2.0 and open innovation is knowledge flow management. Therefore, using the characteristics of in-flow and out-flow of knowledge, a conceptual architecture composed of five different layers with seventeen components is proposed. These layers are the logic of business, interface, process and flow of knowledge, infrastructure, and context. In the proposed architecture, each layer has some components that are connected to each other and some of them are connected to the components of other layers as well. The proposed architecture is also compared with two similar architectures in this context as well.

Determining Organizational Maturity of Information Technology with Information Technology and Business Alignment Approach by Capability Maturity Model Integration and Best Practices of Information Technology Infrastructure Library;  Case Study: Kermanshah Electric Power Distribution Company
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: Strategic planning of information technology is one of the concerns for new organizations. This paper is the result of a research project in the field of IT strategic planning in Kermanshah Electric Power Distribution Company. Based on the common view of all strategic planning models, one of the important steps is to determine the status of the organization in the area in question. Given the notifications of upstream documents, such as the Tavanir Information Technology perspective document and the e-government document that are necessary to implement, as well as governance approach in this documents, this approach in the service sector has used as Kermanshah Electric Power Distribution Company vision.\nBased on the vision, Capability Maturity Model Integration and Information Technology Infrastructure Library best practices have been used to determine the current statues. To achieve the purpose of the article, four phases are considered. In the first phase which is the phase of recognition, business processes are recognized. The second phase is the matching of business processes with standard processes of Information Technology Infrastructure Library. For this purpose, initially, business processes were examined form the standpoint of information architecture and then the match was done by conducting specialized interview based on the process. In the next phase, organizational maturity is determined in two ways. In the first method, initially, descriptive phrases are determined by extracting the features of ITIL best practices and delivered to process officials in the form of 27 questionnaires for 27 processes. In the second method that has its own standard questionnaire, the questionnaire is completed for all of ITIL processes. The results of examining the existing situation using best practices as well as standard processes of maturity model indicate the maturity level of the processes based on the percentage and provides the ability to compare the two methods. In addition, based on a comparative analysis of these two methods, the weaknesses and strengths of the organizational processes adapted to the processes of the Information Technology Infrastructure Library were determined, and some recommendations and suggestions for future research in this area were presented. The results show that service desk, event management, request fulfilment, configuration management, and contractor management processes as organizational strengths and change management, knowledge management, information security management, release and deployment management processes as organizational weaknesses issues can be investigated and were not regularly seen in other processes such as service level management, demand management, capacity management.

Presenting a Thematic Model of Health Scientific Productions Using Text-Mining Methods
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2020

description: With the proliferation of the Internet and the rapid growth of electronic articles, text classification has become one of the key and important tools for data organization and management. In text classification a set of basic knowledge is provided to the system by learning. Then, new input documents enter to one of the subject groups. In health literature due to wide variety of topics, preparing such a set of early education is a very time consuming and costly task. The purpose of this article is to present a hybrid model of learning (supervised and unsupervised) for the subject classification of health scientific products that performs the classification operation without the need for an initial labeled set. To extract the thematic model of health science texts from 2009 to 2019 at PubMed database, data mining and text mining were performed using machine learning. Based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, the data were analyzed and then the Support Vector Machine was used to classify the texts. In the findings of this study, the model was introduced in three main steps. In data preprocessing, the unnecessary words were eliminated from the data set and the accuracy of the proposed model increased. In the second step, the themes in the texts were extracted using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation method, and as a basic training set in step 3, the data were backed up by the Support Vector Machine algorithm and the classifier learning was performed with the help of these topics. Finally, with the help of the classification, the subject of each document was identified. The results showed that the proposed model can build a better classification by combining unsupervised clustering properties and prior knowledge of the samples. Clustering on labeled samples with a specific similarity criterion merges related texts with prior knowledge, and the learning algorithm teaches classification by supervisory method. Combining classification and clustering can increase the accuracy of classification of health texts.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a growing cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, a major cause of COPD, dysregulates airway epithelial ion transport and diminishes airway surface liquid (ASL) volume. Short palate lung and nasal epithelial clone 1 (SPLUNC1) is secreted into the airway lumen where it maintains airway hydration via interactions with the epithelial Na1 channel (ENaC). Although ASL hydration is dysregulated in CS-exposed/COPD airways, effects of CS on SPLUNC1 have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that CS alters SPLUNC1 activity, therefore contributing to ASL dehydration. CS exposure caused irreversible SPLUNC1 aggregation and prevented SPLUNC1 from internalizing ENaC and maintaining ASL hydration. Proteomic analysis revealed ab-unsaturated aldehyde modifications to SPLUNC1’s cysteine residues. Removal of these cysteines prevented SPLUNC1 from regulating ENaC/ASL volume. In contrast, SPX-101, a peptide mimetic of natural SPLUNC1, that internalizes ENaC, but does not contain cysteines was unaffected by CS. SPX-101 increased ASL hydration and attenuated ENaC activity in airway cultures after CS exposure and prolonged survival in a chronic airway disease model. These findings suggest that the CS-induced defects in SPLUNC1 can be circumvented, thus making SPX-101 a novel candidate for the treatment of mucus dehydration in COPD.

description: The multi-organ disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene (CFTR) that lead to diminished transepithelial anion transport. CF lungs are characterised by airway surface liquid (ASL) dehydration, chronic infection/inflammation and neutrophilia. Dysfunctional CFTR may upregulate the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), further exacerbating dehydration. We previously demonstrated that short palate lung and nasal epithelial clone 1 (SPLUNC1) negatively regulates ENaC in normal airway epithelia. Here, we used pulmonary tissue samples, sputum and human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) to determine whether SPLUNC1 could regulate ENaC in a CF-like environment. We found reduced endogenous SPLUNC1 in CF secretions, and rapid degradation of recombinant SPLUNC1 (rSPLUNC1) by CF secretions. Normal sputum, containing SPLUNC1 and SPLUNC1-derived peptides, inhibited ENaC in both normal and CF HBECs. Conversely, CF sputum activated ENaC, and rSPLUNC1 could not reverse this phenomenon. Additionally, we observed upregulation of ENaC protein levels in human CF bronchi. Unlike SPLUNC1, the novel SPLUNC1-derived peptide SPX-101 resisted protease degradation, bound apically to HBECs, inhibited ENaC and prevented ASL dehydration following extended pre-incubation with CF sputum. Our data indicate that CF mucosal secretions drive ASL hyperabsorption and that protease-resistant peptides, e.g. SPX-101, can reverse this effect to rehydrate CF ASL.

description: Recent studies have revealed that increased airway mucin concentrations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) slow mucociliary clearance and produce mucus adhesion with mucus plug formation (1). Furthermore, data from SPIROMICS (Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcomes in COPD Study) demonstrated an association between induced sputum (IS) mucin concentrations and measures of airflow obstruction, e.g., FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (2). Peripheral airways are the earliest and dominant sites of airflow obstruction in COPD, and Hogg and colleagues demonstrated that intraluminal mucus plugs contribute a major component to peripheral airway obstruction (3). For development of targeted therapies, it is important to understand whether there are associations between mucus concentrations and peripheral airway obstruction in COPD.

description: Background and Aims: Exercises and consumption of plant-based supplements are essential to prevent and control diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of a four-week home workout plan and pomegranate supplementation on oxidative stress in overweight and obese postmenopausal women.\nMaterials and Methods: The present single-blind, quasi-experimental, and practical study was conducted on 60 overweight and obese women between 45 to 65 years with a body mass index over 25 (kg/m2) who were randomly divided into four groups. After participant dropout, 56 women were divided into four groups. The first group (n=15) took pomegranate supplements and had exercise, the second group (n=13) took the placebo and had exercise, the third group (n=14) was given the pomegranate supplement and the fourth group (n=14) was given the placebo. The intervention and placebo groups took a 225 mg capsule of pomegranate supplementation and placebo daily for four weeks, respectively. Resistance training was performed in 28 90-min training sessions for four weeks at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.\nResults: The results of the present study indicated that exercise and supplementation significantly increase total antioxidant capacity, and decrease Malondialdehyde (MDA)(P<0.05); however, no significant effect was observed in the other groups. One-way ANOVA demonstrated that four weeks of training and supplementation significantly reduce the concentration of MDA compared to the control group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed among the four groups in the total antioxidant capacity.\nConclusion: Pomegranate supplementation together with a home workout plan can possibly reduce oxidative stress and prevent difficulties related to obesity.\n
