    Educational institutions plays a crucial role in providing electronic resources to research scholars, students, and professionals. To ensure the integrity of licensed information and prevent malpractices, these institutions must uphold ethical standards. Additionally, they should raise awareness among users about issues such as copyright, data duplication, plagiarism, and other related concerns. This study is on Karnatak University research scholars for consideration of the ethics. Most of the respondents i,e., 41(68.3%) are aware of the copyright laws related to e-resources, only 1(1.7%) respondent never used open access resources for reference purpose and mainly this study found that the respondents i.e., 23 (38.3%) are strongly agreed the statement that yes very clearly communicated about ethical guidelines in using e-resources.

    This study is about the awareness of AI tools and AI Powered Library Services (AIPLS) among Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals and their use of AI in library operations regarding service delivery. This study was conducted through a questionnaire distributed to LIS professionals and sought to assess the current awareness level on AI, usage of AI in daily activities, preferred AI tools, and analysis of benefits and limitations on the adoption of AI for efficiency, user satisfaction, and ethics. 85 responses were obtained from study participants, out of which were two-thirds female. Majority of respondents were occupants of the profession of librarians (49%), and they were working in colleges (38%). Study results show that LIS professionals are aware of what AI has to offer, but the use of AI tools and AI Powered Library Services (AIPLS) is at various levels as compared to their belief that AI provides support to instead of entirely replacing librarians. With the findings, the study provides a basis for addressing resource and training obstacles in promoting the adoption of AI in LIS education. Findings speak to AI's impact on libraries and will inform future practices and training needs for LIS professionals.

    Identifying the Nano Interface through Phase
    (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2024-07-23)
    Madhuri Mukhopadhyay
    The quantum dots (QD) interface in solution can significantly influence electron transfer dynamics, impacting quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells as well as various biological, environmental, and industrial systems. Here, we propose a method to identify the contribution of quantum dots’ interface-created static electric field to the nonlinear optical response (NLO) due to four-wave mixing (FWM), especially for the nanoparticles where surface contribution is high. We implement a way to disentangle the FWM response in QDs, originating from the three incoming oscillating laser fields (NLOoscillating) and a contribution (NLOstatic) arising from the three oscillating laser fields and the static electric field caused by the interface. Advanced two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) employs phase-resolved heterodyne techniques where the FWM response is measured in a particular phase-matched direction and the response is distinctively phase sensitive. Theoretical analysis shows that alterations in the interface can introduce phase variation in the NLOstatic signal resulting in distinct changes in 2D spectra. Our studies establish a range of ionic strength (10–6 M < x < 10–3 M), which can be important to untwine, the usual NLO signal (NLOoscillating) from the NLO (NLOstatic) contributed by the interface of quantum dots. This analysis could open up possibilities for studying various dynamics occurring specifically at the interface and also paves the way for exploring different ion interactions through phase changes in 2D spectra. Additionally, it offers enormous scope for employing deep learning-assisted phase recognition.

    Why cancer cells disproportionately accumulate polyubiquitinated proteotoxic proteins despite high proteasomal activity is an outstanding question. While mis-regulated ubiquitination is a contributing factor, here we show that a structurally-perturbed and sub-optimally functioning proteasome is at the core of altered proteostasis in tumors. By integrating the gene coexpression signatures of proteasomal subunits in breast cancer (BrCa) patient tissues with the atomistic details of 26S holocomplex, we find that the transcriptional deregulation induced-stoichiometric imbalances perpetuate with disease severity. As seen in luminal BrCa cell lines, this imbalance limits the number of double-capped 19S-20S-19S holocomplexes (30S) formed and promotes free 20S catalytic core accumulation that is widely-believed to confer survival advantage to tumors. By retaining connectivity with key tumor 19S:20S interface nodes, the PSMD9 19S subunit chaperone emerges as a crucial regulator of 26S/30S:20S ratios sustaining tumor cell proteasome function. Disrupting this connectivity by depleting PSMD9 in MCF7 cells introduces structural anomalies in the proteasome, and shifts dependence from 20SHigh to a deregulated 26SHigh state invoking anti-tumor responses which opens up clinically-relevant therapeutic possibilities.

    The bluetongue virus (BTV), transmitted by biting midges, poses a significant threat to livestock globally. This orbivirus induces bluetongue disease, leading to substantial economic losses in the agricultural sector. The current control measures have limitations, necessitating the development of novel, efficient vaccines. In this study, an immunoinformatics approach is employed to design a multi-epitope subunit vaccine for Ovis aries targeting six BTV serotypes. Focusing on the VP2 capsid protein, the vaccine incorporates B-cell, helper-T lymphocytes (HTL), and cytotoxic T-cell lymphocytes (CTL) epitopes. Molecular docking reveals stable interactions with TLR2 and TLR4 receptors, suggesting the stability of the complex, indicating the potential viability of the multi-epitope vaccine. The computational approach offers a rapid and tailored strategy for vaccine development, highlighting potential efficacy and safety against BTV outbreaks. This work contributes to understanding BTV and presents a promising avenue for effective control.
