Keynote address: "Ways and Needs to Promote Rapid Data Sharing" by Laurie Goodman of GigaScience.
Data is the base upon which all scientific discoveries are built, and data availability speeds the rate at which discoveries are made. Given that the overall goal for research is to improve human health and our environment, waiting to release data until after the first publication (sometimes taking years) is unacceptable. There are myriad issues that impede researchers from openly, and most importantly, rapidly sharing data, including lack of incentives: no credit, limited funding benefits, and little impact on career advancement; and cultural issues: the fear of being scooped. However, scientific publishers —the communicators of science and a key mechanism by which a researcher’s productivity is measured— can, and should, play a central role in promoting data sharing. Data citation and publication are just some of the ways we can support and encourage researchers who share data. Here, I will provide examples to help make clear the need for publishers to play an active role in this process and provide potential ways to facilitate our ability to promote open and rapid data sharing. This is not easy; but it is essential.

Does Hepatitis E Virus need to be Considered as a re-emerging problem in both industrialized and developing countries?
I came across an article wrhich was very interesting to me. The five authors - Zhang, Wu, Zhong, Xiao, and Dong observed that Hepatitis E (HEV) as a virus which is now considered by some scientists as an emerging issue as HEV is not only prevalent in developing countries but increasingly detected in industrialized nations (p. 275). I learned that this disease affects the liver and there are over 20 million cases resulting from HEV every year. To give a quick history about hepatitis E, in was in India, in 1978 when the first out break which hit the area and resulted in 52,000 cases and 1,700 deaths all due to water-borne HEV disease (Zhang et al. 2018). At first they did not know how or what this disease was that was killing and people become infected until a Russian scientist in 1983, by the name of Mikhail Balayan, took some stool samples and samples from autopies which had damaged livers and had been infected with this virus and studied it. His team then classified it as Hepatitis E (HEV). I learned from reading this article that there are currently eight known HEV genotypes (parts of the genetic makeup of a cell that determines the phenotype of a specific organism) (Zhang et al. 2018). Some genotypes can infect humans and some animals and some both.
What was most interesting in this article was it included the transmission, symptons, prevention, spreading, and awareness to the public about HEV. I think it is important to known especially for someone like me who wants to travel to other countries where different environments are not as santizied as the comfort we have here at home. Furthermore, HEV infection is high and shows a trend of increasing, which leads to the conclusion and proves there hypothesis that HEV is a re-emerging disease (Zhang et al. 2018).
To give a brief description about HEV, HEV can be transmitted through food consumption, blood transfusion, organ tranplants, pathogens in fecal particles from one person, uncooked foods, raw animal products, close contact with pigs and swine hunters (Zhang et al. 2018). Some of the symptons which many believe they have the cold or the flu are fever, vomiting, faintness. Some other characteristics of symptons can be jaundice, itching skin, pale stools, darkened urine, which lead to chronic HEV diseases. Prevention is mainly with a HEV vaccine, especially for paties who require blood or organ transplants. Lastly, awareness to the public about ways to protect oneself when encountering persons who may be infected, blood donation, eating handling raw foods, or animals, etc.

Correlation between Human Origin and the Severity of COVID19ijtsrd
It has been reported that the severity of coronavirus infectious disease COVID 19 is due to several factors such as age and the presence or absence of chronic disease. Furthermore, it has been reported that genetic factors affect the severity of COVID 19. A recently published study of the COVID 19 Host Genetics Initiative suggests that genetic manifolds in the region located on chromosome 3 may increase the risk of the severity of COVID 19.

A Survey and Analysis on Classification and Regression Data Mining Techniques...theijes
Classification and regression as data mining techniques for predicting the diseases outbreak has been permitted in the health institutions which have relative opportunities for conducting the treatment of diseases. But there is a need to develop a strong model for predicting disease outbreak in datasets based in various countries by filling the existing data mining technique gaps where the majority of models are relaying on single data mining techniques which their accuracies in prediction are not maximized for achieving expected results and also prediction are still few. This paper presents a survey and analysis for existing techniques on both classification and regression models techniques that have been applied for diseases outbreak prediction in datasets.

Study of the Seroprevalence of Anti-Leptospirosis Antibodies in Subjects in T...IIJSRJournal
Leptospirosis is a tropical and subtropical zoonotic disease culminating as a serious public health problem worldwide, apparently existing as co-infections with various other unrelated diseases, such as malaria. It is caused by spiral bacteria and the main vectors of which are rodents. These bacteria have various survival mechanisms in the environment allowing them to carry out their infectious cycle within their host organisms. The pathophysiological mechanisms pertaining to leptospirosis is still not understood in full and mis or underdiagnosed.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in three different localities in Niamey where respondents were screened for to demonstrate transmission to humans. Indirect ELISA method as a laboratory diagnostic or screening toll is used by utilizing leptospiral-specific IgG from serum samples of the respondents.
Results from the study showed that 11 people are found to be positive for leptospirosis (with a seroprevalence of 2.75%) with a strong tendency in the slaughterhouse workers which presents a fairly high risk compared to the other localities of the study. Indeed, the different areas/localities of this pilot study do not present the same level of risk because they are not subject to the same risk associated factors. In this vein, we have 87.6% of population exposed to the presence of rats, 48% are in contact with animals, 38.6% live in homes near water and 12.9% go swimming.
This study made it possible, on the one hand, to highlight the transmission of leptospirosis from animals to humans and, on the other hand, to draw attention to the involvement of the various identified risk factors.

Introduction
In this study the researcher will seek to determine the impacts of HIV/AIDS on the productivity of labor at coffee farms in Kona District, Hawaii. To successfully undertake this study, the researcher will utilize the use of retrospective cohort design to analyze the attendance and productivity of individual workers in the coffee estates. This will include checking records to know the numbers of works in the tea estates who died or medically retired because of HIV/AIDS and other related causes between 2010 and 2014. It will also include using questionnaires to get information from some of the workers in the coffee estates. The research will also characterize the impacts of HIV/AIDS and ARVs treatment on both medium term and long-run productivity of labor in the coffee estates. This will be affected using data of workers absenteeism in the coffee estates and the information from an HIV/AIDS treatment program.
The researcher will present a concise empirical and theoretical review on the problems related with the impact of HIV/AIDS on the productivity of human labor in labor intensive activities. This information will majorly be extracted from what other researchers have written. Other additional information will be from journals, magazines, textbooks, local newspapers and reports. The information from all these sources will be presented by the researcher and show whether each of these support or does not support the development of the hypothesis in question. This will also be based of the relevance of the information to the success of the study.
Literature review
In literature review both the theoretical and the empirical literature will be presented and these literatures will aid the research in developing this study by finding the crucial supporting information from facts and studies developed earlier by other researchers.
Theoretical literature
The emergence and spread of HIV/AIDS has been attributed to slow growth of economy in the nations that are most affected. This is because the workers and employees that suffers from the disease workers less hours or in a week because of going for medical attention within the working days and thus this scenario reduces the availability of labor. In addition the this, the these workers will also require additional medical care to be offered by the organization they are working with and thus increases the cost of medical insurance. The high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in a region has led to high mortality rate and this mainly affect the productive age bracket of between 15 to 64 years and thus reducing the skilled and productive population and labor force in a regio.

Does Hepatitis E Virus need to be Considered as a re-emerging problem in both industrialized and developing countries?
I came across an article wrhich was very interesting to me. The five authors - Zhang, Wu, Zhong, Xiao, and Dong observed that Hepatitis E (HEV) as a virus which is now considered by some scientists as an emerging issue as HEV is not only prevalent in developing countries but increasingly detected in industrialized nations (p. 275). I learned that this disease affects the liver and there are over 20 million cases resulting from HEV every year. To give a quick history about hepatitis E, in was in India, in 1978 when the first out break which hit the area and resulted in 52,000 cases and 1,700 deaths all due to water-borne HEV disease (Zhang et al. 2018). At first they did not know how or what this disease was that was killing and people become infected until a Russian scientist in 1983, by the name of Mikhail Balayan, took some stool samples and samples from autopies which had damaged livers and had been infected with this virus and studied it. His team then classified it as Hepatitis E (HEV). I learned from reading this article that there are currently eight known HEV genotypes (parts of the genetic makeup of a cell that determines the phenotype of a specific organism) (Zhang et al. 2018). Some genotypes can infect humans and some animals and some both.
What was most interesting in this article was it included the transmission, symptons, prevention, spreading, and awareness to the public about HEV. I think it is important to known especially for someone like me who wants to travel to other countries where different environments are not as santizied as the comfort we have here at home. Furthermore, HEV infection is high and shows a trend of increasing, which leads to the conclusion and proves there hypothesis that HEV is a re-emerging disease (Zhang et al. 2018).
To give a brief description about HEV, HEV can be transmitted through food consumption, blood transfusion, organ tranplants, pathogens in fecal particles from one person, uncooked foods, raw animal products, close contact with pigs and swine hunters (Zhang et al. 2018). Some of the symptons which many believe they have the cold or the flu are fever, vomiting, faintness. Some other characteristics of symptons can be jaundice, itching skin, pale stools, darkened urine, which lead to chronic HEV diseases. Prevention is mainly with a HEV vaccine, especially for paties who require blood or organ transplants. Lastly, awareness to the public about ways to protect oneself when encountering persons who may be infected, blood donation, eating handling raw foods, or animals, etc.

Correlation between Human Origin and the Severity of COVID19ijtsrd
It has been reported that the severity of coronavirus infectious disease COVID 19 is due to several factors such as age and the presence or absence of chronic disease. Furthermore, it has been reported that genetic factors affect the severity of COVID 19. A recently published study of the COVID 19 Host Genetics Initiative suggests that genetic manifolds in the region located on chromosome 3 may increase the risk of the severity of COVID 19.

A Survey and Analysis on Classification and Regression Data Mining Techniques...theijes
Classification and regression as data mining techniques for predicting the diseases outbreak has been permitted in the health institutions which have relative opportunities for conducting the treatment of diseases. But there is a need to develop a strong model for predicting disease outbreak in datasets based in various countries by filling the existing data mining technique gaps where the majority of models are relaying on single data mining techniques which their accuracies in prediction are not maximized for achieving expected results and also prediction are still few. This paper presents a survey and analysis for existing techniques on both classification and regression models techniques that have been applied for diseases outbreak prediction in datasets.

Study of the Seroprevalence of Anti-Leptospirosis Antibodies in Subjects in T...IIJSRJournal
Leptospirosis is a tropical and subtropical zoonotic disease culminating as a serious public health problem worldwide, apparently existing as co-infections with various other unrelated diseases, such as malaria. It is caused by spiral bacteria and the main vectors of which are rodents. These bacteria have various survival mechanisms in the environment allowing them to carry out their infectious cycle within their host organisms. The pathophysiological mechanisms pertaining to leptospirosis is still not understood in full and mis or underdiagnosed.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in three different localities in Niamey where respondents were screened for to demonstrate transmission to humans. Indirect ELISA method as a laboratory diagnostic or screening toll is used by utilizing leptospiral-specific IgG from serum samples of the respondents.
Results from the study showed that 11 people are found to be positive for leptospirosis (with a seroprevalence of 2.75%) with a strong tendency in the slaughterhouse workers which presents a fairly high risk compared to the other localities of the study. Indeed, the different areas/localities of this pilot study do not present the same level of risk because they are not subject to the same risk associated factors. In this vein, we have 87.6% of population exposed to the presence of rats, 48% are in contact with animals, 38.6% live in homes near water and 12.9% go swimming.
This study made it possible, on the one hand, to highlight the transmission of leptospirosis from animals to humans and, on the other hand, to draw attention to the involvement of the various identified risk factors.

Introduction
In this study the researcher will seek to determine the impacts of HIV/AIDS on the productivity of labor at coffee farms in Kona District, Hawaii. To successfully undertake this study, the researcher will utilize the use of retrospective cohort design to analyze the attendance and productivity of individual workers in the coffee estates. This will include checking records to know the numbers of works in the tea estates who died or medically retired because of HIV/AIDS and other related causes between 2010 and 2014. It will also include using questionnaires to get information from some of the workers in the coffee estates. The research will also characterize the impacts of HIV/AIDS and ARVs treatment on both medium term and long-run productivity of labor in the coffee estates. This will be affected using data of workers absenteeism in the coffee estates and the information from an HIV/AIDS treatment program.
The researcher will present a concise empirical and theoretical review on the problems related with the impact of HIV/AIDS on the productivity of human labor in labor intensive activities. This information will majorly be extracted from what other researchers have written. Other additional information will be from journals, magazines, textbooks, local newspapers and reports. The information from all these sources will be presented by the researcher and show whether each of these support or does not support the development of the hypothesis in question. This will also be based of the relevance of the information to the success of the study.
Literature review
In literature review both the theoretical and the empirical literature will be presented and these literatures will aid the research in developing this study by finding the crucial supporting information from facts and studies developed earlier by other researchers.
Theoretical literature
The emergence and spread of HIV/AIDS has been attributed to slow growth of economy in the nations that are most affected. This is because the workers and employees that suffers from the disease workers less hours or in a week because of going for medical attention within the working days and thus this scenario reduces the availability of labor. In addition the this, the these workers will also require additional medical care to be offered by the organization they are working with and thus increases the cost of medical insurance. The high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in a region has led to high mortality rate and this mainly affect the productive age bracket of between 15 to 64 years and thus reducing the skilled and productive population and labor force in a regio.

Meaningful and intellectual modern thinking regard any system, which rests on unity of diverse views to be better and progressive as compared to a single-track system. Democracy is based on accommodating and giving free play to diverse values at any time. Earlier in nineteenth century Darwin and Spencer had enunciated the principle of progress by emphasizing that greater is the differentiation and greater the integration, greater is the progress attained by a society; more the number of self-propelling components better is the functional capacity of the system. Ancient Indian and Greek thinking believed that no one could reach absolute value and be good for all times. Cultures and civilizations have evolved developed, prospered, declined, sidelined or have withered away with passage of time. New cultures may be as good or bad as old ones, or the cultures or civilizations of East may be as good or as bad as those of West. Believing this, in the contemporary times, since the inception of the United Nations as a civilizational force, the reigning view is that no culture is inherently superior or inferior, therefore the new world order should allow the diverse cultures the freedom to develop or parish by natural processes. Culture means the aggregate of social, religious or behavioral norms, independently of political forces, developed by a community for survival as well as for prosperity at a time or place

This study suggested the need to develop an awareness program on the use of library resources/databases/web tools. Therefore various college librarians or individual staff should conduct training programs for students using library and communication facilities
Knowledge has been used with the aid of countless agencies to graph clever and positive actions.
Knowledge Management (KM) lookup has been undertaken in a range of fields or disciplines. The purpose of
this evaluate used to be to have a look at expertise administration techniques in libraries and facts centres and
limitations that forestall these techniques from being implemented. The library will play a very critical position
in the extension and amendment of knowledge. The improvement of understanding administration in current
years has grow to be the key subject for librarian and libraries. Knowledge Management requires extra superb

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.

1. Introduction
Ebola is a kind of Hemorrhagic Fever caused by the Ebola Virus. The term was first time
introduced in Medical Subject Heading as ‘Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers’ in 1978. The Ebola viral
fever case was the first time reported in 1976 as hemorrhagic fever with an unknown cause
(Emond 1977; Gear 1977). The virus was named Ebola after the river in the proximity of
Yambuku in the region of Zaire in Africa. People have been assuming that the transmission of
Ebola is related to the rain forest ecosystem, for example, a rainy period follows an extensive dry
period, drier air impetuous the proliferation of the virus (Bausch 2014).
Therefore, several means are being adopted by the health workers for decontamination of
the Ebola virus, for example, thermal inactivation, etc., In addition, it may be inactivated with
various chemical agents including formalin and quaternary ammonium ions (Chepurnov 2003).

3. Ebola Virus is a group of five viruses and these are the Bundibugyo Ebola virus (BDBV);
Zaire Ebola virus (EBOV); Reston Ebola virus (RESTV); Sudan Ebola virus (SUDV); and Tai
Forest Ebola virus (TAFV). Out of these five, four viruses are known to be responsible for Ebola
Hemorrhagic Fever. Ebola is transmitted through close blood, secretions or organ of infected
organisms (humans or animals) and then spread through human-to-human contact. Ebola is
characterized by high fever, muscle pain, headache, and sore throat. The patient suffering from
Ebola shows symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, kidney and liver infections. The outbreak of Ebola
as an epidemic has occurred once again in August 2014 in West African countries such as
Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Senegal has raised the issue of serious look over this
disease by World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and health department of individual countries (WHO 2014).
The outbreak is occurring on a periodic basis. Therefore, technical inhibits to deliver the
vaccination ought to overcome at the earliest. However, keeping in view the hurdles to
developing the vaccine, it seems that scientists have to work hard to develop the vaccination for
the deadly disease occurring due to the Ebola virus (Groseth 2007).
2. Review of Literature
Vatankhah, Farahnaz (2012) have done a scientometric study, SCOPUS reference
database was utilized to assess the logical research efficiency of Zahedan University of Medical
Sciences over the time of 1976 - 2011. 97% of documents were published in English and in 6
different forms: research articles (91.2%), review articles and letters to the editor (each one
3.6%), conference papers (1.2%), editorials and notes (each one 0.2%).
Chitra & Jeyshankar (2012) studied the growth of neuroscience literature globally during
the periods 1972-2011. The study revealed that 71% of the research outputs were collaborative in
nature. The USA obtains 1st rank in world research output, only 0.59% of the articles were
contributed by authors in India ranking18th among the top 20 countries.
Jeyshankar, Ramesh Babu and Rajendran, (2011) analyzed bibliographical details of
1282 research articles published by the scientists of CECRI during the period 2000-2009. From
the study, it is found that 194 articles (15.13%) published in the year 2009 was the most
productive year. The collaborative analysis was dominant with the best degree of
collaboration being zero.98, in the year 2005. Further, the study investigated authorship
patterns, co-authorship patterns, extremely prolific authors and extremely most
popular journals by the scientists of CECRI. There is a number of researches in the field of
medicine that was undertaken in the emerging era. The review of the literature indicates that the
study on the growth of neuroscience has not been successfully attempted. Hence the discipline of
neuroscience is taken up for the study.
Omwoyo et.al., (2004) conducted HIV/AIDS research output in Uganda and Kenya. The
study covered 1045 documents, out of which 369 (35.3 %) were on HIV/AIDS in Kenya and 676
(64.7%) were on Uganda. Seven (0.7 %) documents were shared by the two countries. The study
revealed most publications were coauthored and focused on women, and a large proportion of
HIV/AIDS documents were published outside Africa.
