Detecting demands of public library users: The growth points and perception stereotypes

The authors investigate into inconsistency between the purpose of the library as a social institution and stereotypical perception of libraries by involved and uninvolved audiences. The libraries modernizing and transforming themselves into digital ecosystems along with accomplishing their traditional mission of information archive, are becoming the centers of cultural life, interactive spaces offering users wide variety of information services and resources, and multimedia areas for co-working, communication, and learning. At the same time, the fixed stereotypical perception of the library as a book depository becomes a barrier to the expansion of the user audience. The purpose of the study is to diagnose the demands of actual and potential users of libraries and to assess the change in purpose and role of libraries as a social institution under conditions of expanding access to information services. The methodology of the study was determined by the works documenting the relevance of the search for fundamentally new approaches in the interaction of the libraries with their target audiences in the context of media communications to increase the attractiveness of libraries. Sociological methods were used to identify stereotypical ideas about libraries: the survey of two groups of respondents, i. e. engaged and unengaged users (adults and students). Methods of statistical analysis of empirical information were used for data analysis. The main findings are: the study captures the needs in positioning library services within the wider communicative space. The access is needed to special market segments with building multi-subject user chains and new ways of informing young actual and potential users about the array of services. The relatively inefficient building of awareness of new services may indicate the prevalence of traditional positioning in the nearest target market and, so far, rather low penetration into other segments. The novelty of the study is expanding knowledge of the library potential target audience, which would make the foundation for developing communication tools and attracting primarily the young audience. The flexibility of communication methods, formats, and channels is essential for interaction with the young users.

Survey and Mapping Geographic Information Archive Informationization Management Construction Analysis

With the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid accumulation of geographic information data, the management of surveying and mapping geographic information archives is facing increasing challenges. The traditional manual management mode makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale data processing and sharing, so information management has become a key strategy to improve the efficiency of data management and optimize the use of resources. In this context, this paper discusses the construction of informatization management around surveying and mapping geographic information archives. The key steps in the construction of information management include the nodes of technical infrastructure, data standardization and organization, digital conversion of archives, archive retrieval and query system, security and authority management, and continuous updating and maintenance of archives. At the same time, to promote the construction of information management, work can be started from the formulation of a comprehensive information management plan, the establishment of cross-departmental collaboration mechanisms, the strengthening of personnel training and technical support, as well as the establishment of a data quality management system, to meet the needs of multiple fields and to realize the greater value of data.

Implementasi Dan Rancang Bangun Sistem Informasi Arsip Dan Tracking Inspeksi Pada BPOM Pekanbaru

At present, BPOM Pekanbaru, in the field of inspection, still uses manual methods for archiving and tracking. Therefore, employees need a long time to do archives because they are still inputted into the Microsoft Excel application. Besides that, to know the status of the submission letter, employees have to go back and forth asking and checking documents from related parties to see whether it has been followed up or not. The purpose of this research is intended for employees who have access rights to make it easier to do archives. For employee tracking activities, it is enough to check the status of the system regarding the progress of the letter and whether it has been followed up or not. The method used is a waterfall; this method is suitable for archiving and tracking problems in the inspection division because it starts from the stages of problem analysis, system design, building the system, and testing the system that has been built. The results of this study are in the form of an archive and tracking information system in the inspection division so that employees can be facilitated in archiving and monitoring documents that have been submitted.

DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB-BASED ARCHIVE APPLICATION IN THE ADMIN AND SECRETARY DIVISION OF PT XYZ’S HEAD OFFICE

An electronic filing system is something that is needed by companies as a record keeping of their archives. The condition of archives management in the Admin and Secretariat division of PT XYZ itself is currently not optimal, meanwhile archives are urgently needed to ensure the continuity of operational activities. Archive documents that have not been optimally arranged in filing cabinets make it difficult to retrieve archives and take around 10 to 15 minutes if at any time the archives are needed. This project aims to make an update from manual archives to website-based electronic archives which are solutions and innovations aimed at making 3the filing system more effective and efficient. With the waterfall method this application will assist in the process of managing records and provide information on archive category reports in the Admin and Secretarial Division and make it easier to find archives again. After testing, it was discovered that the website-based electronic filing application that was implemented was in accordance with the needs of both the manager and the website user because it makes work easier and shortens the time to manage and obtain archival information.

QPCR-based eDNA workflow for humic-rich lake sediments: Combined use of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) and Indigenous Knowledge in reconstructing historical fish records

Lake sediment serves as a natural archive of historical biological information. The use of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA), a form of environmental DNA (eDNA) shed by aquatic organisms and preserved in sediment, has been instrumental in reconstructing past faunal composition in aquatic communities. However, the low abundance of fish sedDNA and the often humic-rich nature of lake sediments create methodological challenges for the accurate detection of target sedDNA using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based approaches. Herein, we present a consolidated qPCR-based eDNA workflow to reconstruct past and current fish fauna in Cowpar Lake located in the Oil Sands region in Alberta (Canada), which were then validated using Indigenous Knowledge from Chipewyan Prairie First Nation community members. The present study highlights the importance of combining column- and precipitation-based PCR inhibitor clean-up, nucleic acid concentration, incorporating endogenous chloroplast DNA as a sample integrity control. Robust qPCR-based eDNA assays were also useful in preventing the false-negative detection of low copies of target fish DNA. The presence of Northern pike (1905 to 2019) and Cisco (1919 to 1942) in Cowpar Lake was confirmed based on detected sedDNA from sediment core. The reconstructed fish records from sedDNA-inferred data aligned with the Indigenous accounts of natural and human-mediated changes in land use around the lake. Overall, the present study addresses common methodological concerns in processing lake sediment samples for fish eDNA detection and demonstrates the great potential of combined eDNA-inferred data and Indigenous Knowledge in reconstructing historical fish records in aquatic communities.

Stronger together: Building nonprofit resilience through a network with a shared Mission and organizational humility

AbstractNonprofit organizations increasingly face surprising and disruptive shocks, beyond financial setbacks, that challenge an organization's operations, long‐term survival, and success. To continue to execute their mission, nonprofits must be resilient. Despite the importance of resilience in nonprofits, more research is needed to understand the factors that build organizational resilience and how leaders can help promote resilience. We conducted a qualitative case study, consisting of 23 interviews with organizational members and key partners, fieldwork, and archival information, of a documented resilient nonprofit organization. Our findings suggest that leaders can enhance resilience by gaining access to resources through collaboration, which is in line with previous theorizing. Our results add to previous research by providing a more nuanced understanding of how collaboration can facilitate resilience. Specifically, our findings suggest that resilience may be enhanced when organizational humility drives leaders to strategically constrain their network primarily to partners that share a common mission. Our research contributes predominantly to the organizational resilience literature, while offering more auxiliary contributions to the organizational humility literature. Further, our research offers practical guidance for how leaders of nonprofits can develop resilience in their organizations.

Analysis of the effect of user-understanding-based retrieval system improvement on the application of intelligent archive management

Abstract As a precipitation and accumulation of history, archives management has gradually tended to be digitalized and informalized with the continuous updating and development of modern technology. In this paper, we first study the retrieval system and focus on the Boolean model, vector model, and probabilistic model in information retrieval technology. The matching relationship between documents and queries is detected from the document set for the user’s query, and a relevance retrieval system based on user understanding is proposed to solve the matching problem. The amount of information that needs to be retrieved is growing exponentially, and how a user perceives the information is crucial to the process. Then, in order to solve the problem of insufficient retrieval efficiency caused by the explosive growth of wisdom files, the retrieval system is creatively optimized on the basis of the ant colony algorithm, which effectively improves the efficiency of wisdom file management. The efficiency of the optimized retrieval system is verified and analyzed in an experimental simulation environment. The findings demonstrate that when the amount of archives rises, the retrieval effectiveness of the improved ant colony algorithm described in this study marginally improves, but in 10~35s. As the inventory of the Smart Archives increases, the content retrieval of the archives will become more and more frequent. This study improves retrieval efficiency and serves as a good demonstration for the construction of archival management information technology.

Sistem Penyimpanan Arsip Untuk Meningkatkan Pelayanan Publik di Kantor Desa Plelen

Archives are very important for any organization or company. The purpose of this study was to determine the archive storage system and public services at the Plelen Village Office. This study used triangulation and qualitative description. This research was conducted at the Plelen Village Office and used primary and secondary data. The village head, village secretary and three village officials were informants for this research. The result of this research is that the archive storage system at the Plelen Village Office has been running quite well but still needs to be improved because the archive storage system is still manual, the number of archives created is not proportional to the area where archives are stored, it is necessary to add archive equipment to store archives and start switching to using information technology, one of which is Google Drive which is a solution to archive storage. The use of Google Drive at the Plelen Village Office has not been utilized optimally due to the limited number of human resources who handle archives, providing archival training and information technology to village officials which are not routinely carried out so that there is a lack of knowledge and skills in archive storage. Therefore, the provision of training on records management and digitization needs to be scheduled so that records managers can manage their records properly and the quality of public services and the image of the organization is well maintained.

A Qualitative Assessment of Creative Entrepreneurs’ Practices and Their Influence on Sustainability of Cultural Code of Nation

This paper aims to understand how creative entrepreneurs’ (CEs) motivation influences on sustainability of the cultural code of a nation (SCCN) through generating cultural creative capital (CCCs) in the Kazakhstani mare milk industry (MMI). It presents a challenge for CE to combine and integrate two such distinct sectors: the high-growth technology and cultural production. We apply our finding on a practical basis in order to create a synergy of cultural creative development, where the main role is assigned to CE. This study purposes to explore the key mechanism of CE impact to SCCN. Content analysis has been used along with 31 in-depth interviews to obtain the research objective. Data was collected from CEs through an interview, along with archival information to construct a synergy of cultural creative development with CEs. The study unfolds by coding themes using Atlas.ti 9 several crucial factors like motivation, domain-relevant skills, affordance and commercialization, and cultural protection attitude to SCCN by cultural creative industries (CCIs). The findings of this research revealed that SCCN is achieved through undertaking a set of process models of CEs in the MMI that can be used as a guideline for a variety of stakeholders. Our paper ends with drawing a set of concluding remarks and insights for theory and practice. May assist as a guideline for other traditional industry which is based on cultural products, or some practitioners which has similar type with MMI may use them to build another business.

Оценка радиолокационного наукастинга полей осадков

The application of the Fraction Skill Score (FSS) to the radar nowcasting of precipitation fields is considered. The main feature of the method is that the quality is estimated not at the points (or cells) of the fields, but in their neighborhoods. Verification of field forecasts acquires a probabilistic character, due to which the well-known “double penalty” danger is eliminated when advancing from coarse computational grids to finer ones. Moreover, the method makes it possible to distinguish such range of scales within which the tested model generates forecasts that are acceptable or useful for both weather forecasters and third-party consumers of forecast products. The features and advantages of the FSS are demonstrated using the data of radar precipitation nowcasting in the warm and cold seasons of 2017–2018. An information archive of observation and forecast fields in the coverage areas of nine DMRL-C radars on the territory of the Central and Northwestern federal districts was used. Due to the large time spent to calculate the skill score, the possibility of obtaining summary estimates based on random samples was tested. Based on the output tabular and graphical verification products, meaningful general and partial conclusions are formulated that are stratified by seasons, radars, thresholds for exceeding the precipitation intensity, and the forecast lead time.

ДИЗАЙН ТЕКСТА В УЛИЧНОМ ИСКУССТВЕ: КОММУНИКАТИВНЫЕ СТРАТЕГИИ ГОРОДА

Street art in Russia is an actual form of contemporary art that is a response to a number of social, political, and cultural changes. However, the role and use of text in Russian street art remain insufficiently researched. The object of the study is a text in street art used by street artists in urban spaces, not only for the purpose of visual transformation but also to endow it with meanings. The methodological basis of this research is the analysis of scientific articles, books, and studies on street art, as well as interviews with artists. Comparative method, historical, and cultural analysis: the paper compares Soviet and modern textual street art objects based on the analysis of archival photographs and information from the websites of Yekaterinburg street art artists. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the text in street art performs not only the function of visualizing ideas but also is a means of interaction and communication with society. It contributes to the formation of the way of thinking and philosophy of the whole people. Text compositions, creating a unique design code, can become the visual center of the city, its distinctive feature, and attract tourists. They create the possibility of a polymodal conversation in the urban space: between residents, active urban environment converters, and the authorities. According to the author, modern cities need to be filled with semantic texts to create spaces for an open-wall conversation

CIRCULATING PROGNOSTIC BIOMARKERS IN MENINGIOMA: S100A4 AND FIBULIN-2

Abstract AIMS We aim to identify circulating prognostic biomarkers that accurately identify high risk meningioma whilst reducing the burden of invasive diagnostics. In our proteomic analysis, S100A4 and Fibulin-2 are significantly over expressed in grade 2 tumours compared to grade 1. They are both calcium-binding proteins with S100A4 involved in mesenchymal transition while Fibulin-2 helps scaffold the extracellular matrix. Elevated levels correlate with aggressive phenotypes in multiple cancers. METHOD Anonymised pre-operative meningioma blood samples were obtained from ‘The Plymouth Brain Tumour Biobank’ and ‘UK Brain Archive Information Network (BRAIN-UK)’. In total, 155 samples were analysed via Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for serum S100A4 and plasma Fibulin-2. The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to examine the specificity and sensitivity of both markers. RESULTS Circulating levels of S100A4 were significantly (*p<0.05) higher in grade 2 meningiomas (mean 276.7 pg/mL (+/- 49.9 pg/mL) compared to grade 1 (mean 153.10 pg/mL +/- 20.68 pg/mL). Serum S100A4 & plasma Fibulin-2 cut-off values of 344.8 pg/mL & 2500 pg/mL respectively have a 95% specificity for identifying patients with grade 2 tumours over grade 1. To improve the diagnostic accuracy of grade 1 vs grade 2 samples, we combined S100A4 and Fibulin-2 concentrations to achieve an improved AUC of 0.682, *p<0.05. CONCLUSIONS Serum S100A4 is significantly higher in grade 2 compared to grade 1 meningiomas (95% sensitivity; cut off 344.8 pg/mL). Combining S100A4 and the previously published Fibulin-2 improves the accuracy of predicting grade 2 meningiomas.

PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI PENGARSIPAN SURAT PT.PERKEBUNAN NUSANTARA VII BAGIAN KANTOR KOMODITI TEH 2

Information systems are connected components that work together to collect, process, store and disseminate information to support decision making, coordination, control and to provide an overview of activities within the company, especially in archiving mail data. Archives are documentation of activities or events packaged in various forms made and received by institutions. In a company, data archives are one of the important points that are very influential. PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII, especially the Tea Commodity Office 2 which is in charge of controlling plantations in West Java, should have a modern and structured letter data archiving information system, but in fact the data is not organized and can even be accessed by anyone. A letter archive information system application is needed so that it can help overcome obstacles in managing documents properly and limiting access rights. The application design is made object oriented using UML (Unified Modeling Language) using the Waterfall method because this method can develop software that allows system development to be carried out in a structured and systematic manner.

Can the principle of the ‘right to be forgotten’ be applied to academic publishing? Probe from the perspective of personal rights, archival science, open science and post‐publication peer review

AbstractIn this paper, we reflect on how the principle of the ‘right to be forgotten’ (RTBF), specifically the right to erasure as enshrined in Article 17 (and to some extent Art. 19 and Art. 21) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; Regulation (EU) 2016/679), or the right to delete undesirable, unflattering or reputation‐damaging archived records of oneself from search engines or databases, might apply to academic publishing. In particular, we focus on archival (library and information) science, post‐publication peer review, and reflect on whether RTBF is compatible with open science principles. Even though RTBF became enshrined in EU law in 2018, its trans‐Atlantic export to the United States faces resistance because it is seen as being incompatible with First Amendment rights. We ponder the pertinence of the debate regarding local versus global applicability of RTBF when considering the transnational nature of some collaborative research. Although RTBF applies broadly to search engines such as Google, we question whether authors have this right and also whether publishers are subjected to this law with respect to science databases, or even ‘local’ (i.e., publisher‐controlled) archives, especially in the light of retractions or withdrawals, in which data and files are removed from a preprint or journal's website or, in extreme cases, where all or most bibliometric information is scrubbed clean, as in the case of ‘silent retractions’. We extend our reflections further to appreciate whether authors or editors are entitled to RTBF in extreme instances of misconduct or fraud. The fundamental right to privacy and personal choice, as is suggested by (or enshrined in) RTBF, is not—in our view—compatible with several principles related to the integrity of data and information, or even their preservation, and may be diametrically opposed, depending on the situation. We encourage wider debate on this budding pertinent issue as a fundamental aspect of academic rights and freedoms.

Hepatic Iron Deposition Quantification in Patients with β-Thalassemia Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Background: Detection and quantification of liver iron overload are significant to initiate treatment and monitoring of iron overload. This study aimed to quantify liver iron deposits in β-thalassemia major patients using MRI T2* and its correlation with age and heart iron deposition. Methods and Results: This retrospective study included 54 records of patients between 5-16 years of age with hepatic iron deposition due to β-thalassemia major. Data were collected from MRI reports in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems-Radiology Information System (PACS-RIS) and serum ferritin (SF) test results obtained from Hospital Information Systems and written into a dedicated datasheet. The information was recorded on a data collection sheet. The datasheet included all the required data, demographic data, lab results, T2* mapping for iron deposition in the liver and heart, and liver measurements. All subjects had high SF (from 1120 to 9850 ng/ml) with an average of 4317.93±2779.9 ng/ml. Age and SF correlated positively (r=0.368, P=0.0006). A negative correlation was observed between SF and liver T2* (r= -0578, P=0.000) (Table 3), whereas between liver T2* and heart T2* correlation had a positive direction (r= 0.329, P=0.015) Conclusion: MRI provides accurate, non-invasive, valid, and repeatable techniques, which are more acceptable to patients for assessing iron load. Furthermore, MRI T2* methods measure iron overload within the target organ precisely.

Variations in the Byzantine Artistic Tradition in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Churches’ Painting in 1890s – 1910s

The purpose of the article is to study the embodiment of the Byzantine artistic tradition in the monumantal painting of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in 1890s – 1910s. The research methodology is based on historical, cultural, and art historical analysis. Scientific novelty. The article reveals a weakening in the use of the Byzantine artistic heritage in the monumental painting of the churches in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The transformation from the systematic use of Byzantine ornaments and the symbolism of gold in the Great Church (the Dormition Cathedral) in the late 19th century to fragments of Byzantine compositions in Art Nouveau ornaments have been traced. The decorative golden background in the Church of Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk with the Refectory Chamber (the Refectory Church) in the early 20th century has been explored. The use of the term "Neo-Byzantine style" for the painting of the Great Church is proved to be incorrect. The author made the following conclusions on the basis of archival information introduced into scientific circulation. Firstly, the algorithm of creating ornaments and a golden background as the basis of the Byzantine artistic tradition has been observed. Secondly, the authorship and dating of paintings of the Great Church have been clarified. Thirdly, it is determined that the rejection of the Byzantine tradition in favour of the Art Nouveau style in the Refectory Church took place in 1902, along with the change of artists. The significance of preparatory sketches and paintings of the Great Church for the creation of the compositions of the Refectory Church has been emphasised. Conclusions. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra did not have the opportunity to return to the Byzantine tradition in the technique of monumantal painting, namely to the technique of mosaics and frescoes. In the paintings of the Great Church (the Dormition Cathedral) and the Church of Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk with the Refectory Chamber (the Refectory Church) the Byzantine tradition was realised mainly in decorative elements, namely in ornaments and the golden background of compositions. In both churches, the artists implemented thematic and narrative lines in the tradition of late academicism. Along with V. Vereshchagin, V. Fartusov was the author of the paintings in the Great Church. The paintings date from 1897 to 1901. The transition to the Art Nouveau style in the decor of the Refectory Church began in 1902. The ornaments of the Refectory contain elements of national (Ukrainian) motifs and fragments of Byzantine ornaments. The preparatory sketches and paintings of the Great Church served as the pictorial basis for the compositions of the Refectory Church and the Chamber. Key words: sacral culture, Orthodoxy, sacral monumental painting, Ukrainian painting, Byzantine art, academicism, Art Nouveau style, Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra, Great Church, Dormition Cathedral, Church of Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk with the Refectory Chamber, Refectory Church.
