Training for health ministry: Design and implementation of library resources to incorporate health education and promotion into theological education

AbstractThis case study leverages existing library assets and curated educational resources for students, pastors, and health ministers by seeking to increase their understandings of how religion intersects with, and informs, health education and promotion, and public health more broadly, while equipping them with tools to engage in important conversations about health ministry. This article describes and evaluates a library‐based research guide that is a replicable model for collaborative ministerial training about engaging, evaluating, and participating in health education and promotion, which is a vital component of theological education. Much of the pedagogical conversation around religion and health within theological and religious studies has focused on the ways that religion assists in the socio‐cultural construction of health and healing. This case study expands on this conversation by detailing how seminary students, pastors, and health ministers can also use public health knowledge to better provide services to their congregations and communities. This model provides long‐term, publicly‐available, asynchronous access to these materials, making it a valuable resource for theology schools.

Frequency and prognostic significance of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutations in cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic literature review.

The recognition of distinct molecular subgroups within cholangiocarcinoma (CC), along with the increasing availability of targeted therapies, suggests that further characterization of the prevalence and prognosis of frequently occurring subgroups may assist with the development of more effective treatment approaches for the management of CC. A systematic review was performed to investigate the prevalence of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations (mIDH1) in patients with CC, the possible clinical and prognostic significance of mIDH1, and the presence of co-mutations in tumors with mIDH1. This review was conducted using the Cochrane dual-reviewer methodology and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Searches were performed in Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Trials Register and Database of Systematic Reviews, and other Cochrane Library assets using terms for CC and mIDH1 with no language or date restrictions for articles published up to December 31, 2017. Searches were also performed of abstracts presented at the following conferences in 2016 and 2017: American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), ASCO-Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), and ESMO-Asia. Screening was performed separately by two reviewers and cross-checked. Any discrepancies between reviewers were resolved by a senior researcher. Data from all selected references were recorded in a data extraction grid. A total of 46 publications met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. Of these publications, 45 reported the frequency of mIDH1 among a total sample of 5,393 patients with CC. mIDH1 was enriched in intrahepatic CC (ICC), with 552 (13.1%; 95% CI, 12.1-14.2) of the 4,214 patients with ICC having the mutation compared with 9 (0.8%; 95% CI, 0.4-1.5%) of the 1,123 patients with extrahepatic CC (ECC). The percentage of females with mIDH1 CC (66.2%; 95% CI, 57.7-73.7%) was higher than in the overall CC population (44.4%). The frequency of mIDH1 in patients with ICC reported in individual studies ranged from 4.5-55.6%, and a significantly higher frequency was reported in non-Asian centers compared with Asian centers (weighted mean, 16.5% vs. 8.8%; P<0.001). The prevalence of mIDH1 in patients with ICC at USA centers was 18.0% (95% CI, 16.4-19.8%). Eleven publications reported the prevalence of co-mutations in patients with mIDH1 ICC, with the most frequent being AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) (22.0%), BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) (15.5%), and PBRM1 (13.3%). Eight publications investigated the possible prognostic significance of mIDH1. None of the studies reported a statistically significant association between mIDH1 and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), or time to progression. This systematic review substantiates the prevalence of mIDH1 in CC and further characterizes clinical, pathologic, and genetic covariates within this sub-population. Co-mutation data may inform future studies of mechanisms of response and resistance to mIDH1-targeted therapies.

The local library across the digital and physical city: Opportunities for economic development

This paper considers the role of the public library as a community hub, engagement space, and entrepreneurial incubator in the context of the city, city governance, and local government planning. It considers this role from the perspective of library experts and their future visions for libraries in a networked knowledge economy. Public libraries (often operated by or on behalf of local governments) potentially play a pivotal role for local governments in positioning communities within the global digital network. Fourteen qualitative interviews with library experts informed the study which investigates how the relationship between digital technology and the physical library space can potentially support the community to develop innovative, collaborative environments for transitioning to a digital future. The study found that libraries can capitalise on their position as community hubs for two purposes: first, to build vibrant community networks and forge economic links across urban localities; and second, to cross the digital divide and act as places of innovation and lifelong learning. Libraries provide a specific combination of community and technology spaces and have significant tangible connection points in the digital age. The paper further discusses the potential benefits for libraries in using ICT networks and infrastructure, such as the National Broadband Network in Australia. These networks could facilitate greater use of library assets and community knowledge, which, in turn, could assist knowledge economies and regional prosperity.

BeWeB. The cross portal of cultural ecclesiastical heritage

BeWeb – online ecclesiastical cultural heritage – is a project to establish a portal dedicated to the cultural and artistic heritage of the Catholic Church, by providing an integrated view of data regarding churches, the artwork and items of worship they contain, library and archive funds of diocesan and religious institutes, with a special focus on cultural, scientific and pastoral care aspects, in order to provide an authoritative tool for users to know more about these extraordinary assets.Our goal is to share the outcome of all activities carried out by dioceses and ecclesiastical cultural institutes to manage and enhance their cultural and artistic heritage, both through the catalogue – which provides a virtual map of buildings, items, cultural institutes, archives, funds and libraries – and also through content creation, by connecting different resources together and helping users find their way through this wealth of material, in order for them to appreciate aspects related to pastoral care and worship, in addition to history and culture. Integrating this kind of information leads to a clearer perception of the Church’s unique cultural heritage, which can be understood only by referring to local contexts that provide users with a fundamental key for interpretation.The digital inventory of ecclesiastical cultural and artistic heritage, that Italian dioceses have been urged to contribute to by the Italian Bishops’ Conference since 1997 – with the support of the National Office for Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage (UNBCE) acting as coordinator – has led to the creation of a massive digital data bank in the last ten years. The inventory documents an extremely important, sizeable and peculiar cultural heritage, and testifies to the sense of responsibility and spirit of service of dioceses and religious institutes.UNBCE has laid down the methodology, identified strategies, provided means and support in the different work stages, but this project has been and still is a major networking effort, to which each diocese and institute contribute, safeguarding the added value that is given by the close union between information and heritage which, in several online projects, is sometimes undermined.The various inventory projects are the result of intense activity based on specific agreements signed with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and respective Central Institutes, to promote filing initiatives that comply with relevant national and international standards, safeguarding filing entities’ specifities. The traditionally active dialogue between UNBCE, Ministry officials and particular Churches has led to the pursuit of shared goals in implementing this ambitious project.Currently, BeWeb hosts the data banks of several Italian dioceses’ historic and artistic heritage, in addition to fact sheets regarding dioceses and cultural institutes (museums, archives and libraries). Over time, it will be enriched with data banks of architectural heritage, archival funds and library assets, thus becoming a cross-sectoral portal of ecclesiastical cultural heritage with and extraordinary potential.BeWeb engages in dialogue on a 360° radius: this project also includes continuous updates and reflections regarding national and international scenarios, through a semantic web, open data and integration with internationally-renowned archives such as VIAF, ULAN, TGN. All this is also made possible by the development of access point control and standardization (authority files).BeWeb’s aim is to provide for different navigation needs: from average users looking for basic information to specialists engaging in more sophisticated searches. BeWeb acts as a mediator between users and cultural institutions, to enhance the Church’s important cultural heritage through greater participation by making communication easier.

Risk Assessment in Securing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems: a Case Study on Petra Christian University Library

Each library collection has an identification number which is unique number for each book. Identification numbers are used in searching process, and library’s circulation. Identification number is presented by barcode, and will be coupled with RFID, in order to facilitate collection information searching service, collection circulation service, and as a function of the collection security. The current barcode system problem lacks security features, the process of collection finding is very difficult, and the circulation process takes more time. This problem can result in losses of the library assets, and reduce library user satisfaction. Therefore, Petra Christian University Library plans to implement the RFID system as the solution of collection security. The RFID implementation process requires an analysis to be done to assess the risk factors that affect the library’s business processes and provide a response to those risks. This paper discusses the risk assessments for the RFID system to be implemented in the library. Risk assessments are based on the NIST SP800-98 standard Guidelines for Securing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System and NIST SP800-30 Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments. Risk factors are categorized into two, namely business process risk and risk intelligence process. The results show most of the risk factors are related to the server system.

The study provides very useful information about the harmful indoor environmental factors and their effects on vital library and archival collections. This work would definitely help the concerning authorities to take remedial measures to control the inappropriate levels of these factors.

Constrained? An Analysis of U.S. Academic Library Shifts in Spending, Staffing, and Utilization, 1998–2008

The study provides an analysis of U.S. academic library spending, staffing and utilization trends from data collected during the period between 1998 and 2008. Data used in this study are part of the NCES biennial survey of approximately 3,700 degree-granting postsecondary institutions. Confirming previous studies, there has been an order of magnitude change in the expenditure of e-books and e-serials; but, contrary to the view of being fiscally restrained, libraries have received investments and increases of approximately 12 percent above inflation over the period with significant increases in nearly every area of library operation. Library staffing is being diversified, while use of physical library assets are in decline for every metric in the study—gate count, reference service, general and reserve circulation. Academic libraries cannot be treated as a homogenous group of institutions, and the study analyzes shifts by type, size, and Carnegie class of institution, illustrating significant difference among these classes of academic libraries, particularly among large doctoral institutions and other academic libraries, with large public and doctoral private institutions driving growth, while small and medium-sized academic libraries have fallen behind in both collections and staff investments.
