Homocystinuria presenting as a calcified right atrial mass
No full textHomocystinuria is a genetic inborn error of metabolism due to the deficiency of cystathionine β-synthase resulting in increased serum homocysteine and methionine and decreased cysteine which predisposes affected individuals to arterial and venous thromboembolic phenomena. We present a case of homocystinuria who presented to us as a calcified right atrial mass during the evaluation for lower respiratory tract infection. Our case reveals an unusual mix of findings using imaging with multiple detector computed tomography and radiographs
O PAPEL DE JESSE HAUK SHERA NO CURRÍCULO DA BIBLIOTECONOMIA BRASILEIRA
No full textIt investigates the work of Jesse Hauk Shera in the curricula of higher education of librarianship in Brazil since the 1950s. The analysis starts from the confirmation of the author's bibliography in the course menus, through bibliographic and documentary research. The interpretation occurs with dialogue with Lemos (1973), Castro (2000), Souza (2018) scholars of the history of the teaching of librarianship, among others, to understand the context and scope of Shera's work. The curricular menus compose the documental sources obtained in different universities in the country, such as Universidade de São Carlos and Universidade Federal do Maranhão. Shera was one of the American intellectuals who influenced the updating of the technique and theory of librarianship in the country, bringing to light new conceptions for Brazilian librarians about the interdisciplinarity of science. Jesse Shera was and still is an author studied in the academies for the dynamism of his work; revisiting his theory and the episodes of the past provides an understanding of the circumstances that built the current position of the Brazilian Librarianship.

On the Problems of Description concerning Mongolian Languages in An Introduction to Altaic Languages
No full textThere are a lot of inadequacies and insufficiences in the description of Mongolian languages in An Introduction to Altaic Languages. The most serious problem is the proto form of the first plural personal pronoun ^*bi+ta. This proto-form creats initial p in Shera Yogur, Monguor, Baoan, Dunshan and Kangjia languages, since the vowel of the first syllable is narrow and the onset of the second syllable is voiceless (or more accurately fortis). Of course this is not correct. Examples of inadequacies are descriptions such as the following. The accent of Mongolian is fixed on the first syllable. Shera Yogur, Monguor, Baoan, Dunshan languages have word final stress. Dialects (or languages) with three vowel harmonic alternations have a linguistic contact with Manchu language. These inadequacies originate from uncertain or insufficient descriptions of early studies, on which the author based. Recent studies and close examination of bare matarials will give us a lot of precise and more accurate knowledge of these languages
Temporal suppression of clicked-evoked otoacoustic emissions and basilar-membrane motion in gerbils
No full textDigitization of indigenous materials : problems and solutions in the Context of Kerala University
No full textThe paper evaluates the ICT infrastructure available at Kerala University (KU) in India. KU has automated its library system and has powerful ICT infrastructures for more than a decade. But they are found to be lacking information relevant to KU, which exist only in traditional media at various sources under it. Information generated by the research in KU is also not digitized and added to the system. The study reveals that archives, libraries and other document collections as they exist now in KU limit mainly to collection, preservation and services using original exhibits, printed documents, manuscripts and non?print materials like microforms. Even a decade after having required ICT infrastructures KU has not cared to digitise its content and make it accessible online. Identifies the institutions under KU where unique content not otherwise available exists and the different media in which they are recorded. Various projects that have transformed content like that existing in KU are examined. The solutions used in such projects are discussed. The problem of local scripts to be dealt by KU and the projects, which handled scripts relevant to KU, are examined. Make suggestions in selecting relevant DL solutions and for ensuring the conservation of the unique knowledge content available at KU

No full text論資訊科學的起源
No full textThis article tries to identify the exact origin of information science. Several authors regard Vannevar Bush's 1945 article As We May Think, as the origin of information science. Some researchers tend to think that 1937, American Documentation Institute-ADI was founded this year, was the origin of information science. However, the author of this article following the historical investigation of Jesse Shera and W. Boyd Rayward, believe that we should trace the origin of information science to 1895. In this year, the International Institute of Bibliography was founded by Paul Otlet and his colleagues, the purpose is to organize a universal bibliographical catalog
CITY Leaders: Building Youth Leadership in Toronto
No full textFrom publisher: In 2008, United Way Toronto (UWT) launched the Creative Institute for Toronto’s Young (CITY) Leaders, a leadership development program for diverse young people working and volunteering in the community and social service sector across Toronto, Canada. The investment in leadership capacity building provided a unique opportunity to explore the short- to medium-term outcomes of the 104 youth who participated in five different program cohorts over 4 years. The UWT set out to evaluate the CITY Leaders Program by focusing primarily on its outcomes and effectiveness. This article provides a retrospective assessment of the impact of CITY Leaders, primarily through program graduates’ reflections on their learning and leadership development experience. It also documents outcomes at the personal, professional, and community levels.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support

Unifying Frameworks for Library and Information Science: An Analysis of Three Perspectives
No full textThis article argues that there are emerging new roles for academic librarians and that a more focused discussion on the theoretical foundations of Library and Information Science (LIS) will provide guidance for both the discipline and the profession. The analysis herein examines a possible theoretical foundation or framework for LIS from three perspectives: the philosophy of information, social epistemology, and cybersemiotics. The primary advocates of these three perspectives are L. Floridi, J. Shera, and S. Brier respectively. This analysis addresses three questions: how does each perspective view LIS?, can the perspectives clarify the relationship between librarianship and information science, and can one of these perspectives suggest how the profession of academic librarianship should transform itself to meet the demands of the scholar in the 21st century? The analysis will proceed along four dimensions: a) knowledge and information, b) the focus on society and the individual, c) the meaning and structure of information, and d) how a unifying framework of LIS might deal with the practice of librarianship.Paper submitted for the course Communication, Information, and Media Processes (Professors Mokros, Kantor, and Pavlik), December 13, 2007
