Penerapan Metode Naïve Bayes untuk Prediksi Minat Baca Berdasarkan Usia

Reading is one of the activities favored by all circles of society, and a place that can be visited for reading activities is the library. One of them is the Pajajaran Sports Hall Library, based on the data obtained from more than 100 visitors who come to visit the Pajajaran Sports Hall Library each year. However, visitors who borrow do not necessarily have a high reading interest. In this study, an application was made that can predict library visitors who have a high reading interest. In order to predict future reading interest using the method Naive Bayes. It uses variables obtained from borrowing data and carried out preprocessing and obtained several variables used to make predictions, namely name, book category, number of late days, age group, and level of reading interest. This is done to predict the reading interest of visitors to the Pajajaran GOR Library, who have a high level of reading interest and a low level of reading interest. So that the librarian can find out the level of reading interest of the visitors, and the collection of books in the Pajajaran GOR Library can be increased based on the preferred book category of all ages. The accuracy test has also been carried out using the formula confusion matrix with an accuracy value of 80%, which means that the application that has been made is suitable for use.

Klasifikasi Text Judul Buku Perpustakaan Untuk Menentukan Kategori Buku Menggunakan K-Nearest Neighbor

The need for information in the form of books or scientific articles at the Library of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang continues to increase. To make it easier to find book information, one of which is by classifying books based on the type of category. In classifying library book data, the Nearest Neighbor Classifier method in data mining can be combined with text data extraction techniques to classify library book title text data. The purpose of this study was to classify the text title of library books using the Nearest Neighbor Classifier to determine the type of book category. This research method uses the Nearest Neighbor Classifier data mining classification technique. The results of this study are that the highest accuracy value is found at K = 12, which is 72.50%, and the model formed can be used to classify books with labels 2x0, 150, 2x2, 400, 020, 2x1, 657, 500, 375, 302.2, 800. and cannot be used for classifying books with class labels 070, 370, 330, 300, 600, 340, 700.

Research Hotspots of Data Mining Technology in the Field of Library and Information

With the rapid development of computer network information technology, data mining technology has begun to be widely used in all walks of life. In the field of Library and information technology, data mining technology can efficiently analyze and screen a large amount of information. This paper mainly studies the useful content, readers' interests and reading habits in the database. Firstly, it theoretically expounds the literature review of text classification methods and association rule-based algorithms by scholars at home and abroad. Then the data mining technology is used to establish the relevant models in the field of Library and information. Finally, the experimental results show that economics, geography, environmental resources, language, industrial technology and literature are the types of books that readers often consult. These five categories are a collection of common books, with a confidence level of more than 50%. Although the support of public project sets decreases with the increase of the number of public project sets, the average support of the five public project sets is 30.2%, which is higher than the minimum support of public project sets. Therefore, there is a strong correlation between the categories of books in the five project collections in the library.

Русинская тематика в работах П.Д. Драганова

Pyotr Danilovich Draganov (February 1 (13), 1857 – February 7, 1928), a native of Bessarabia, Russian philologist, historian, ethnographer, bibliographer, and teacher. Born into a family of Bulgarian colonists in the village Comrat of Bessarabian region, he graduated from the Bulgarian Central School in Comrat (1875), then studied at the Chișinău progymnasium, the provincial gymnasium (1875–1877) and the Kharkov gymnasium (1877–1880). After graduating from the gymnasium, he entered the Faculty of History and Philology of the Imperial Kharkov University (1880–1882), then continued his studies at the Imperial St. Petersburg University, graduating in 1885 with a candidate’s degree. In 1885–1887, he taught general history and Church Slavonic language at the St. Cyril and Methodius Male Gymnasium (Thessaloniki, Macedonia). In 1888, he was appointed teacher of the Russian language and literature of the Comrat real school. Since 1893, he taught Russian at the Chișinău Women’s Gymnasium. In 1896, he became a junior assistant librarian at the Imperial Public Library in St. Petersburg, in charge of the category of Slavs and Galician-Russian books of the Manuscript Department of the library. Due to the difficult financial situation, he had to resign from the library and return to teach Russian at the Comrat real school. In 1906–1912, P.D. Draganov worked as an inspector of a real school in Astrakhan, director of a teacher’s seminary in the village Rovnoe of the Samara province. In 1913, he returned to Bessarabia and was appointed director of the male gymnasium in Cahul. When Bessarabia was occupied by Romania, the Romanian authorities issued a decree on the preservation of the gymnasium and proposed to P.D. Draganov to remain its director. However, he decided to return to his native Comrat, where he taught Bulgarian at the Comrat real school until retirement. P.D. Draganov is the author of over 100 historical, literary, ethnographic, philological, bibliographic and critical works. His articles were published in the “Journal of the Ministry of Public Education”, “Historical Bulletin”, “Izvestia of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in the Department of Russian Language and Literature”, “Russian Philological Bulletin” and others. Some of his works have remained unpublished. Most of P.D. Draganov’s studies focus on Bessarabian and Balkan themes. He wrote many works about A.S. Pushkin. Draganov was the founder of Macedonian studies in Russia. One ofhis most important works is “The Macedonian-Slavic Collection” (Issue 1. St. Petersburg, 1894), which received many reviews. Another well-known work of his is the compilation “A.S. Pushkin in Fifty Languages, i.e. Translations from A.S. Pushkin into 50 languages and dialects of the world. A Bibliographic Wreath on the Monument to A.S. Pushkin, Woven for the Centenary of His Birth, May 26, 1799 – May 26, 1899 with a Portrait of the Poet” (St. Petersburg, 1899). Draganov also participated in the compilation of the Bulgarian-Russian Dictionary, published the first universal index Bessarabiana, where he listed the sources and literature published over 100 years since the annexation of Bessarabia to Russia. Among the numerous works by P.D. Draganov, there are studies about Rusins.

Evaluating the relationship between the academic and social impact of open access books based on citation behaviors and social media attention

Open access academic achievements include not only papers and journals, but also books, which have become an important achievement for scholars and can be regarded as scholarly critical products. Until recently, books have had a key role in the distribution of knowledge and the main issue is which category of open or non-open access books is more effective in academic society. Thus, this study compares the difference between open access and non-open access books in terms of knowledge distribution. We collected and analyzed data from Twitter, Mendeley, and Dimensions platform, as well as the dataset of all Springer books. Twitter and Mendeley are considered alternative metric indicators, which reflect impacts with citation indicators. Data were analyzed from static and comparative perspectives. Results showed a relationship between academic impact and social impact based on citation and social media attention for OA books, and indicated that open access books boost knowledge distribution in Twitter and Mendeley for the sample of books drawn from Springer under study. Moreover, the open access books have the added advantage of keeping sustained impact for a long time. It is sensible to assess the impact of OA books through knowledge distribution. However, there is no significant correlation between citation and social media attention regarding OA books and also the social and academic impact of books in some disciplines such as Geography, Medicine, and Public Health, Culture, and Media Studies attract more social media attention. According to the analysis, the correlation with citations for the number of mentions on social media is negligible, which indicates that social media measures bear different impacts from citations. However, social impact is similar to the complementary measures which should be considered within the impact evaluation of OA books. Therefore, only when OA books are accessed through the channels of communication can the knowledge contained in books be absorbed to generate impact, and lowering the access barrier does lead to more attention found for OA research papers. The findings demonstrated that the OA books and OA papers do not have similar impacts on the citation. Also, OA books could not attract more citations than non-OA books in some disciplines, which is why open access books have a significant impact on social media attention.

Optical character recognition and long short-term memory neural network approach for book classification by librarians

The book is classified by librarians that use Decimal Dewey Classification (DDS) System. It is used for cataloging and indexing books. DDC has three divisions, a ten, a hundred, and a thousand. The book subject is reflected in each division. Commonly, to know the book content, librarians read the book title. Then, they identify the book index in DDC system. Nevertheless, it requires more time. To read the book title, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) aids them to get the book title efficiently that convert the image of the book cover into the text-editable. Librarians use a web camera to scan the book cover, especially the book title area. There are three steps for pre-processing, the lowercase changing, the useless word removing, and tokenizing. To detect the book categories, Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network is good implemented in this research. It is almost used for text classification. In this research, It gives high performance that achieves more than 92% accurately.

The Challenges of Using Ranks to Estimate Sales

Researchers have frequently used publicly available data on product ranks to estimate nonpublic sales quantities under the assumption that the distribution of sales follows a power law. Using population sales data for a product frequently thought to follow a power law—books—we find the (double logged) rank-sales relationship, contrary to assumption, is not linear but is instead concave. We demonstrate that this concavity is sufficiently strong to require a reevaluation of hundreds of results from analyses that had assumed linearity and we go on to demonstrate that the nonlinearity can cause poor predictions of sales for either poor selling or high selling titles, and sometimes both. We illustrate some of the problems of applying a linear technique to a nonlinear relationship by examining the claim that the greater product variety made available to shoppers on the Internet has a large positive impact on social welfare and also claims about sales levels in top 20 and top 50 “charts.” In spite of these difficulties, the concavity appears to be sufficiently similar across time and book categories to allow the use of simple nonlinear specifications that provide reasonable predictions of sales from ranks using samples with only a modest number of observations.

Is the Chinese Children’s Mainstream Book Market Inclusive Enough? A Data Analysis of Children’s Bestsellers on Dangdang.com

As the book is the main source to help children get the idea of the outside world, there has been wide concerns about build-up inclusion diversity in publishing area around the world in recent years, both in publishing industry workforce and book contents. In this research, we collected and analyzed copyright information and introductions of 7170 children’s bestsellers from 2011–2018 on the largest online bookstore in China—dangdang.com, looks particularly at the differences of gender, nationality of authors, book categories and book contents. We try to depict a diversity landscape of Chinese children’s book market, the findings reveal a general gender inequality, and a lack of culture diversity in children’s mainstream books in China.

Evaluating Readability of Persian Fictions Selected by Flying Turtle the Iranian Award

The objective of the present study is evaluation of the authored Persian Fictions selected by Flying Turtle Award using Flesch and Gunning formulas in first chapter books (ages 7–10), middle-grade books (ages 8–12) and young adult (YA) (ages 12 and up). This is a survey study with the population of 25 Persian authored Fictions selected by Flying Turtle Award. In this study the researchers seek to perform calculations and collection of data related to research questions using two Flesch and Gunning formulas. Out of which, 2 authored fictions were in first chapter book category, 14 books in middle-grade category, 9 books in first chapter and middle-grade categories and 1 book in middle-grade and YA category. The results obtained from Gunning formula show that this formula overlaps with authored fictions selected by Flying Turtle Award up to 76% and incompatible with these books up to 24%. The results also obtained from Flesch formula show that this formula overlaps with authored Fictions selected by Flying Turtle up to 72% and is incompatible with them up to 28%. As far as the appropriate books for children have significant role in their nurturing and mind, determination of the readability level of these books in terms of conformity with various age groups seems to be necessary. In addition, the results of this study could help the selectors of books for Flying Turtle Award in selection of appropriate books for children. As far as the books selected by Flying Turtle Award have been listed on the basis of specific principles and criteria, the researchers decided to make a more precise assessment of the readability level of these books using Flesch and Gunning formulas.

Princeps Editions from the Collections of the Romanian Academy Library – Cluj-Napoca Office. Debut Volumes

The first editions of books authored by the most valuable writers and important personalities of the Romanian and universal science and culture are included in the category of bibliophile books. The princeps editions incorporate a particular value, both in terms of their bibliophilic aspect as well as for the biography and bibliography of a given author. When it comes to literary history and especially the different types of first edition books, whether it is a true first edition, a believed first, a first thus, a first book club and an advanced reader copy, several features may be identified. The authors are usually more invested and involved in the first printing process because it's the first time their work is born and introduced to the world. Moreover, the volume itself may reveal fundamental details on a literary school, on a literary current or on an entire writing era. Our library holds, according to preliminary research, the debut volumes of C. Conachi, I. Vulcan, V. Cârlova, P. Cerna, C. Pavelescu, G. Topârceanu, Al. Philippide, Camil Petrescu, Z. Stancu. The current article will focus on some of those volumes, such as A Collection of the Poems of Mr. D. Bolintineanu [Colecție din poeziile domnului D. Bolintineanu], Poems [Poesii] (M. Eminescu), Poems [Poesii] (O. Goga), Sentimental Songs for Later [Romanțe pentru mai târziu] (I. Minulescu), Native Lowlands [Șesuri natale], (N. Crainic), Poems of Light [Poemele Luminii] (L. Blaga), Right Words. Verses [Cuvinte potrivite. Stihuri] (T. Arghezi), Dark April [Întunecatul april] (Em. Botta). Considering the value and rarity of first editions, the limited number of collections that have in custody such bibliophilic jewels, the inherent loss of physical integrity that develops with the passing of time, it is, with greater reason, the right moment to respect and to preserve the cultural heritage of future generations.

Report on the Development of China’s Publishing Industry in 2018

This report provides an overview of China’s publishing industry in 2018, including the number of publishing houses, the total volume of books published and the structure of publications. As for China’s best sellers in 2018, the segment generally showed a steady trend of growth, and the fixed prices of the best sellers made greater contribution to the overall fixed prices of publications. There were over 400 books with over 200,000 copies sold, far more than the figure in the previous years. As for the retail market in 2018, the sales of printed books kept growing, with a fall after rise. The online and offline sales were uneven, and online bookstores contributed significantly to the overall growth. The best-performing category of books was different from those in the previous years, while the teaching aids and teaching materials grow faster than other categories. New books were not popular enough, while the classics and the themed publications sold well.

Visual-Inertial Odometer-Based Global High Precision Indoor Human Navigation in a University Library

Abstract. AR (Augmented Reality) could be realized as a basic and high-level function on latest smartphones with a reasonable price. AR enables users to experience consistent three-dimensional (3D) spaces co-existing with 3D real and virtual objects with sensing real 3D environments and reconstructing them in the virtual world through a camera. The accuracy of sensing real 3D environments using an AR function, that is, visual-inertial odometer, of a smartphone is extremely higher than one of a GPS receiver on it, and can be less than one centimeter. However, current common AR applications generally focus on “small” real 3D spaces, not large real 3D spaces. In other words, most of the current AR applications are not designed for uses based on a geographic coordinate system.We proposed a global extension of the visual-inertial odometer with an image recognition function of geo-referenced image markers installed in real 3D spaces. Examples of geo-referenced image markers can be generated from analog guide boards existing in the real world. We tested this framework of a global extension of the visual-inertial odometer embedded in a smartphone on the first floor in the central library of Akita University. The geo-referenced image markers such as floor map boards and book categories sign boards were registered in a database of 3D geo-referenced real-world scene images. Our prototype system developed on a smartphone, that is, iPhone XS, Apple Inc., could first recognized a floor map board (Fig. 1), and could determine the 3D precise distance and direction of the smartphone from the central position of the floor map board in a local 3D coordinate space with the origin point as the central positon of the board. Then, the system could convert the relative precise position and the relative direction of the smartphone’s camera in a local coordinate space into a global precise location and orientation of it. A subject was walking the first floor in the building of the library with a world tracking function of the smartphone. The experimental result shows that the error of tracking a real 3D space of a global coordinate system was accumulated, but not bad. The accumulated error was only about 30 centimeters after the subject’s walking about 30 meters (Fig. 2). We are now planning to improve our prototype system in the accuracy of indoor navigation with calibrating the location and orientation of a smartphone based sequential recognitions of multiple referenced scene image markers which have already existed for a general user services of the library before developing this proposed new services. As the conclusion, the experiment’s result of testing our prototype system was impressive, we are now preparing a more practical high-precision LBS which enables a user to be navigated to the exact location of a book of a user’s interest in a bookshelf on a floor with AR and floor map interfaces.

Effects of temperature on instar number and larval development in the endangered longhorn beetle Callipogon relictus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) raised on an artificial diet

Abstract Callipogon relictus Semenov (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is currently listed in the Red Data Books (Category I) of Russia and South Korea and, in 2006, was designated by the South Korean government as the first invertebrate priority target species in a restoration project. However, the species is also classified as an invasive quarantine pest by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Due to the five-year to seven-year life cycle of the species, experimental information about instar numbers has been poorly documented. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to document the instar numbers of non-diapause Callipogon relictus larvae reared on an artificial diet. Under conditions of 30 °C, 60% relative humidity, and constant dark (0:24 hour light-dark photoperiod), developmental pathways of 8, 10, and 12 instars were observed. The effect of temperature (20, 25, and 30 °C) on the duration of larval development was also examined to identify the optimum temperature for producing Callipogon relictus for conservational purposes. Larvae reared at 30 °C and 60% relative humidity, without a chill period, developed in seven to eight months, which is about one-tenth the duration of C. relictus development under natural conditions and the most rapid development of C. relictus observed to date.

The Deakin Review Is Grateful to Lynne Wiltse for Her Guest Editorial

***Access the interview with author Shelly Becker by clicking here.***
 Dear Readers,
 It is my pleasure to be contributing the editorial for this special issue of The Deakin Review of Children’s Literature.
 My name is Lynne Wiltse and I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Elementary Education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. I teach courses in language and literacy and children’s literature. This is the third time that the graduate students in my Children's Literature in the Elementary School (EDEL 510) course have participated in writing book reviews for a Special Issue of the Deakin Review; however, this is the first time that they have been joined by undergraduate students from my Teaching Literature in Elementary Schools (EDEL 409) course. This term, I taught a combined undergraduate/graduate course, and the editorial team of the Deakin Review generously agreed to a special issue featuring book reviews by my 10 graduate and 20 undergraduate students.
 We began our course by reading Kathy Short’s (2108) article, What’s Trending in Children’s Literature and Why It Matters. In her articles, Short identifies the increasing influence of visual culture in children’s books and continuing concerns about the lack of diversity in children’s literature as two recent trends. Regarding the first trend, the opportunity to evaluate picture books was linked to course content about visual storytelling and the design of picture books. In her article, Short makes the point that, because children are immersed in a visual culture, they find books with powerful visual images particularly appealing. This was certainly reflected in the selection of picture books, published in 2018, chosen by the 30 students in the course for review. An example can be found in Ocean Meets Sky, a finalist for the 2018 Governor General's Literary Award for young people's literature (illustrated books category), by brothers Eric and Terry Fan. You can read about the stunning visual images in this picture book about a young boy who sets sail to find the spot where the ocean meets the sky in Melinda Cooke’s review. Kathy Short notes that the influence of visual culture is evident in the increasing publication of wordless books in which the story is told completely (or almost completely) through visual images. In this regard, our collection includes I Walk With Vanessa: A Story about a Simple Act of Kindness, a wordless book by Kerascoet (the joint pen name of married illustrators, Marie Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset). Terri Beach reviewed this book, told without words, about a girl who is bullied and then supported by school mates. That the students in this book comprise different ethnicities and races relates to the second trend in children’s books that Short highlights in her article. The author argues that the limited availability of books that reflect the diversity within society can be damaging for children who rarely see their lives represented within books. On this count, the books reviewed by my students were encouraging as they displayed diverse ways of being diverse, so to speak. Immigrant students may recognize themselves in Island Born, written by Junot Diaz and illustrated by Leo Espinosa, while young non-binary readers may identify with Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love. Girls, long underrepresented in children’s literature, may in particular be inspired by Roda Ahmedk’s and Stasia Burrington’s Mae Among the Stars, based on the first African American woman to travel in space, Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race, written by Margot Lee Shetterly and illustrated by Laura Freeman, and Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger’s, She Persisted Around the World:13 Women who Changed History. I am hopeful that these and other books reviewed by my students indicate a positive shift in the second trend regarding the lack of diversity in children’s literature. Short’s view is that, as educators, we are often followers, rather than creators of trends. I am confident that the teachers, librarians and prospective teachers from my course will contribute to this shift by thoughtfully selecting children’s literature for our diverse society.
 Writing reviews for this issue was a valuable learning experience for my students and we are eager to see the published reviews. I am grateful to the editorial team of the Deakin Review for their support, and a special thanks is extended to Kim Frail for assisting me with the process and my students with their reviews.

A Protocol for Simultaneously Estimating Moments and Popular Groups in a Multigroup RFID System

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has rich applications in cyber-physical systems, such as warehouse management and supply chain control. Often in practice, tags are attached to objects belonging to different groups, which may be different product types/manufacturers in a warehouse or different book categories in a library. As RFID technology evolves from single-group to multiple-group systems, there arise several interesting problems. One of them is to identify the popular groups, whose numbers of tags are above a pre-defined threshold. Another is to estimate arbitrary moments of the group size distribution, such as sum, variance, and entropy for the sizes of all groups. In this paper, we consider a new problem which is to estimate all these statistical metrics simultaneously in a time-efficient manner without collecting any tag IDs. We solve this problem by a protocol named generic moment estimator (GME), which allows the tradeoff between estimation accuracy and time cost. According to the results of our theoretical analysis and simulation studies, this GME protocol is several times or even orders of magnitude more efficient than a baseline protocol that takes a random sample of tag groups to estimate each group size.
