ВІТЧИЗНЯНИЙ ДОСВІД ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-ЦИФРОВИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ ДЛЯ ОЦІНЮВАННЯ РЕЗУЛЬТАТИВНОСТІ НАУКОВО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ

The article considers the domestic experience of using information and digital technologies to evaluate the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical research. The problem of quality and efficiency of scientific and pedagogical research, evaluation of their effectiveness using ICT is an important area for the domestic system of higher education and science. The digital transformation of society, the digital age of the use of computer tools significantly affect the requirements for tools for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical research. The author's interpretation of the concepts «information and digital technologies» and «evaluation of the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical research» is offered. In particular, information and digital technologies are understood as a set of electronic tools, systems, devices, and resources that generate, store, or process data, as well as technologies for developing information systems and building communication networks. Under the evaluation of the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical research using information and analytical systems, we will understand the definition of general indicators of scientific and pedagogical activity: several publications and citations in scientometric databases, availability of author profiles of researchers, ranking and rating of scientific and pedagogical workers, departments/laboratories/departments, institutions and establishments, information about achievements, list of publications, victories of students under the guidance, etc. The analysis of methods allowed establishing that the evaluation does not take into account such scientific products as textbooks, manuals, textbooks, glossaries, dictionaries, scientific reference books, bibliographic indexes, scientific catalogs, electronic resources, databases, etc. It is necessary to find new methods, approaches, and methods for systematic, complete, and objective evaluation of scientific and pedagogical research. The prospect of further research will be to determine the criteria and indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical research using information and digital technologies.

Antibiotic resistance of fecal carriage of Escherichia coli from pig farms in China: a meta-analysis.

Fecal carriage of bacteria is a major source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and a public health risk, but the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Chinese pig farms remains a major gap in the available literature. Our goal was to conduct a meta-analysis of studies reporting antibiotic resistance of fecal carriage of E. coli from pig farms in China, calculating the pooled resistance rates and summarizing factors associated with it. We searched PubMed and Web of Science for studies published in English up to February 28, 2021. We also searched bibliographic indices and corresponded with the authors. We chose ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, tetracycline, ampicillin, and florfenicol from five major types of antibiotics to comprehensively evaluate the resistance rate of E. coli. We used a random-effects model and Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation to calculate the resistance rate and 95% confidence interval. Among the 120 retrieved manuscripts, 16 studies (1985 E. coli isolates) were deemed eligible for our analysis. The combined resistance rate of E. coli from feces was 58.8% (95% CI: 45.3-71.7%) to ciprofloxacin, 54.3% (95% CI: 35.3-72.6%) to gentamicin, 91.0% (95% CI: 83.1-96.7%) to tetracycline, 81.4% (95% CI: 62.0-95.1%) to ampicillin, and 65.4% (95% CI: 33.9-90.9%) to florfenicol. In conclusion, fecal carriage of E. coli in Chinese pig farms shows high resistance to ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, tetracycline, ampicillin, and florfenicol. Subgroup analysis showed that the resistance of E. coli to antibiotics was closely related to the sample size and the health condition of the pigs. Specifically, ESBL-producing E. coli has a higher ratio of resistance to other antibiotics. Future collection of antibiotic resistance and other information in pig farms should be more precise and depend on local surveys.

Coping with Hypertension among Indigenous Peoples in Brazil and the Role of the Primary Care Nurse: A Critical Review from a Transcultural Perspective.

Our objective is to critically review the literature addressing the strategic role of nurses in the daily primary care of arterial hypertension in Indigenous communities in Brazil. We selected studies based on an initial keyword search of major bibliographic indexing databases for the years 2000 to 2020 and manual search. Further selection was based on topical, methodological, and thematic relevance, as well as evaluation of scholarship quality and pertinence to our chosen narrative. The literature demonstrates Indigenous peoples do not receive health services that measure up to national standards in large part due to a marked lack of academic and employer preparation for nurses operating in transcultural settings. Inequities were apparent in recurrent reports of victim-blaming, deficient clinical communication with patients, clinical malpractice, devaluation of hypertension as a problem for Indigenous peoples, insufficient intercultural training for nurses, and discrimination against Indigenous students in nursing education programs. This systemic problem needs to be addressed by universities and the Indigenous Health Care Subsystem in Brazil.

The books and booklets on librarianship published in post-Soviet Russia (1992–2020 bibliological review)

The publishing business in post-Soviet Russia differs a lot from that of the Soviet period. The number of books and brochures has significantly increased, though the circulations have drastically decreased, which is evidenced by the national press statistics without interpreting indicators related to the subject. After USSR’s collapsed, many complete and reliable resources have appeared to study librarianship publishing repertoire in various aspects, e. g.: target readership of publications, their target audience, publishing chronology, main publishers; circulations. With these criteria, expert assessment of key publishing repertoire components is made. The Russian Book Chamber databases based on acquired mandatory copies of publications, as well as Rosinforkultura, Institute of scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, largest library catalogs and several bibliographic catalogs and indexes on the subject under examination, make the main source of statistical and bibliographic information for the authors. The authors identify the main problems and trends in librarianship publishing so to change situation to the better. The authors also focus on publication identification elements, i. e. their imprint.

Bibliographic Indexes on Trade, Merchants, and Entrepreneurship in Siberia in the Second Half of the XIX – Early XX Centuries: a Historiographic Review

The research traced the evolution of bibliographic indexes on trade, merchants, and entrepreneurship in Siberia in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. Bibliographic indexes are publications of a special type that carry valuable information, which makes them an integral part of Siberian studies. This material expands the existing ideas about the nature of the development of trade and economic activities of business people in Siberia. Bibliographic indexes are still popular as a convenient way of obtaining necessary information. Bibliographies of the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods have their own distinct features. The indexes under discussion coincided with the main stages of economic and social life in Siberia. They proved to be an important part of the history and culture of Siberia. The number of published bibliographic products gradually increased, the publication process involved institutions, societies, researchers, and bibliographic movement. Indexes contributed to the development of historical science. Bibliographic thematic reflected the historical process. However, the historiography of the present issue needs further research and deserves a monograph.

Web Archiving as a Task of National and Local History Bibliography

The foreign experience of forming the majority of national web archives (in national libraries) and many accessible local history archives of public and university libraries has been analyzed due to the development of a model and methodology for electronic local history archives for Russian libraries.It is shown that the global activity on preserving network content is divided into national and regional segments and is national and local history in both contents. Its goals and structure fully fit into the classical forms and directions of national/local history bibliography, which turns out to be the key in all processes of selection and bibliographic processing of a new class of sources. For selection, all the criteria of connection with the country/region/territory, the place of production of the resource, its national language and content, characteristic of the national/local history bibliography; the selection itself is carried out by library specialists. The analysis has revealed the reasons why the preparation of the archived online content for use, regardless of the capabilities of automated technologies, in practice also requires the involvement of specialist in bibliography, the use of classical tools and methods of bibliographic description and indexing of content. The issue of choosing objects for archiving (sites, subdirectories, individual documents) is specially considered. The special significance, advantages and problems of treating individual documents are shown. The necessity of forming such web archiving strategies is substantiated, in which “starting points” are separate documents, and sites are evaluated and selected for productivity as their “containers”. Taking into account the global trends and the conditions of Russian libraries, a model of web archiving is proposed, the implementation of which, in the absence of a national repository and modern tools, will allow the beginning of accumulating some necessary experience and valuable network content.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mental Disorders. A Critical Review.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of the worldwide population. Citizens suffer the social, economic, physiological, and psychological effects of this pandemic. Primary sources, scientific articles, and secondary bibliographic indexes, databases, and web pages were used for a consensus critical review. The method was a narrative review of the available literature to summarize the existing literature addressing mental health concerns and stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main search engines used in the present research were PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. We found the pandemic has had a direct impact on psychopathologies such as anxiety, increasing its ratios, and depression. Other syndromes such as burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder have increased with the pandemic, showing a larger incidence among medical personnel. Moreover, eating disorders and violence have also increased. Public authorities must prepare healthcare systems for increasing incidences of mental pathologies. Mental health apps are one of the tools that can be used to reach the general population.

The structural and substantive analyse of the methodological features of the index as well as the criteria for the selection of material have been carried out. The publication consists of two parts (“Literature on the bibliographic activity of the library” and “Publications of the library on bibliographic theory and practice”) and includes 1709 bibliographic records.The book can be used as an example for creating similar works, and it is a comprehensive toolkit for scientometric analysis of the library’s bibliographic activity.

Postmortem Evidence of Brain Inflammatory Markers and Injury in Septic Patients: A Systematic Review.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a host's unregulated immune response to eliminate the infection. After hospitalization, sepsis survivors often suffer from long-term impairments in memory, attention, verbal fluency, and executive functioning. To understand the effects of sepsis and the exacerbated peripheral inflammatory response in the brain, we asked the question: What are the findings and inflammatory markers in the brains of deceased sepsis patients? To answer this question, we conducted this systematic review by the recommendations of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Relevant studies were identified by searching the PubMed/National Library of Medicine, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Bibliographical Index in Spanish in Health Sciences, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and Web of Science databases for peer-reviewed journal articles published on April 05, 2021. A total of 3,745 articles were included in the primary screening; after omitting duplicate articles, animal models, and reviews, 2,896 articles were selected for the study. These studies were selected based on the title and abstract, and 2,772 articles were still omitted based on the exclusion criteria. The complete texts of the remaining 124 articles were obtained and thoroughly evaluated for the final screening, and 104 articles were included. The postmortem brain had edema, abscess, hemorrhagic and ischemic injuries, infarction, hypoxia, atrophy, hypoplasia, neuronal loss, axonal injuries, demyelination, and necrosis. The mechanisms by which sepsis induces brain dysfunction are likely to include vascular and neuronal lesions, followed by the activation of glial cells and the presence of peripheral immune cells in the brain.

Lingvistica în Republica Moldova. Indice bibliografic (2012–2016)

The current Bibliographic Index represents the continuation of the volume The Linguistics in the Republic of Moldova. Bibliographic index (1991-2011). The paper aims to register, systematize and capitalize the publications in the field, published in 2012-2016.

Dealing with dental patients during COVID-19 outbreak

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the family of coronaviruses. The first cases were recorded in Wuhan, China, between December 2019 and January 2020. Italy is one of the most affected countries in Europe. COVID-19 is a new challenge in modern dentistry. New guidelines are required in dental clinics to avoid contagion caused by cross-infections. A narrative review was performed using both primary sources, such as scientific articles and secondary ones, such as bibliographic indexes, web pages, and databases. The main search engines were PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. Twelve articles were selected to develop the bibliographic review by applying pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Precautionary measures should be applied to control COVID-19 in clinical practice. Several authors have highlighted the importance of telephone triage and/or clinic questionnaires, body temperature measurement, usage of personal protective equipment, surface disinfection with ethanol between 62% and 71%, high-speed instruments equipped with an anti-retraction system, four-handed work, and large-volume cannulas for aspiration. Clinically, the use of a rubber dam is essential. FFP2 (or N95) and FFP3 respirators, if compared to surgical masks, provide greater protection for health workers against viral respiratory infections. Further accurate studies are needed to confirm this.

The beginning of the comics history in the libraries of Ukraine dates back to the 20-the 30s of the twentieth century and today we can already talk about the formation of a comprehensive innovative library service around comics as an information product, the main components of which are the organization of educational events dedicated to comics, informing about the receipt of comics in the library, organizing exhibitions of comics, compiling lists and preparing bibliographic indexes and organization of meetings with authors and publishers of comics, workshops, and competitions. It has been found that comics as an information product is not only the subject of work of domestic librarians but also an effective tool for solving educational, social, and internal narrow professional tasks to promote the library profession and library business by them.

Nutrition in the Actual COVID-19 Pandemic. A Narrative Review.

The pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has shocked world health authorities generating a global health crisis. The present study discusses the main finding in nutrition sciences associated with COVID-19 in the literature. We conducted a consensus critical review using primary sources, scientific articles, and secondary bibliographic indexes, databases, and web pages. The method was a narrative literature review of the available literature regarding nutrition interventions and nutrition-related factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main search engines used in the present research were PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. We found how the COVID-19 lockdown promoted unhealthy dietary changes and increases in body weight of the population, showing obesity and low physical activity levels as increased risk factors of COVID-19 affection and physiopathology. In addition, hospitalized COVID-19 patients presented malnutrition and deficiencies in vitamin C, D, B12 selenium, iron, omega-3, and medium and long-chain fatty acids highlighting the potential health effect of vitamin C and D interventions. Further investigations are needed to show the complete role and implications of nutrition both in the prevention and in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Social, Health, and Economy

In late December 2019, a series of acute atypical respiratory disease occurred in Wuhan, China, which rapidly spread to other areas worldwide. It was soon discovered that a novel coronavirus was responsible, named the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2, 2019-nCoV). The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population’s health is unprecedented in recent years and the impact on a social level even more so. The COVID-19 pandemic is the most large-scale pandemic on earth this century, and the impact in all life sectors is devasting and directly affected human activity in the first wave. The impact on the economy, social care systems, and human relationships is causing an unprecedented global crisis. SARS-CoV-2 has a strong direct acute impact on population health, not only at the physiological level but also at the psychological level for those who suffer it, those close to them, and the general population, who suffer from the social consequences of the pandemic. In this line, the economic recession increased, even more, the social imbalance and inequity, hitting the most vulnerable families, and creating a difficult context for public institutions to address. We are facing one of the greatest challenges of social intervention, which requires fast, effective, and well-coordinated responses from public institutions, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations to serve an increasingly hopeless population with increasingly urgent needs. Long-term legislation is necessary to reduce the vulnerability of the less fortunate, as well as to analyze the societal response to improve the social organization management of available resources. Therefore, in this scoping review, a consensus and critical review were performed using both primary sources, such as scientific articles, and secondary ones, such as bibliographic indexes, web pages, and databases. The main search engines were PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. The method was a narrative literature review of the available literature. The aim was to assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on population health, where the possible interventions at the health level are discussed, the impact in economic and social areas, and the government and health systems interventions in the pandemic, and finally, possible economic models for the recovery of the crisis are proposed.

Путь длиною в пять десятилетий.

This article, based on the current archive of the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as the annual scientific reports, recreates the 50-year history of IHAE, shows the role of its directors in the formation and development of the Institute: Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences A.I. Krushanov, Academician of the RAS V.L. Larin and Corresponding Member of the RAS N.N. Kradin. Particular attention is paid to a difficult stage in the life of the country and historical science – the period of the 1990s. The liquidation of the CPSU, the fall of the Soviet system and the collapse of the USSR contributed to the crisis of historical science. During this period, the leaders of the IHAE FEB RAS faced quite difficult tasks: to provide funding for scientific research; retain the cadres of professional historians; to develop new methodological approaches and principles for the analysis of historical events and "blind spots" in the history of the Far East; determine the prospects for the future. All these tasks were successfully solved, and by 2000 the Institute regained the role of a scientific center uniting all historians of the Far Eastern region. Introduction. The reasons that led to the need to open an academic center of historical science in Vladivostok are stated: there was a process of intensive development of the region's natural resources; new industrial enterprises and universities were created; Far Eastern cities were renewed, the population grew; the ideological and military confrontation between the two “superpowers” grew, and relations between the USSR and China sharply deteriorated. In these conditions, the role of the humanitarian and ideological component of the social life of the region increased, which was to be formed by historical science. Methods. The content of the article is based on different methods of research, first of all the comparative-genetic method, a consistent presentation of the event series, related to the history of the formation and development of IHAE FEB RAS. Through the application of the narrative method, the history of the Institute's development under its three directors is more widely presented, the specifics of each of the directors and research areas of the staff are displayed. The use of the information method is particularly valuable for building an event series. The method of comparative-historical analysis is also used in the article's presentation. Results. This article was based primarily on the documents of the archive of the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East of the FEB RAS, the annual scientific reports of the Institute and bibliographic indexes of the works of staff of IHAE. This made it possible to present the history of the Institute in all its completeness and contradictions, to show its importance as an academic center of historical science in the Far Eastern region, to determine the main directions of historical research in the future.
