Development of a Popular Science Book on the Population Structure of Kapok (Ceiba pentandra Gaertn.) along the Banks of the Aluh Aluh River, Simpang Warga Village, Banjar District, South Kalimantan

Teaching materials are a collection of books containing information or materials that are arranged in an orderly manner to support the learning process. The kapok plant found on the banks of the Aluh Aluh River, Simpang Warga Village, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, has the potential to be a source of learning based on local potential in the form of popular scientific books. This study aims to determine the population structure of kapok plants and determine the feasibility of popular scientific books on the structure of kapok populations as teaching materials for plant ecology. The method used is the 3-phase Plomp development method, namely preliminary research, prototype making phase, and assessment phase. The teaching materials in the form of popular scientific books that were developed have a validity score with very valid criteria and have a student readability score with very good criteria. So it can be concluded that the teaching materials of popular scientific books on the structure of kapok plant populations can be used as teaching materials in the learning process.

Urban Pre-service English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) Teachers’ Challenges During Teaching Practicum in Rural Schools: A Photovoice Phenomenological Approach

While many previous studies focused on English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) teachers’ teaching practices in urban schools, little study has been indulged regarding pre-service English teachers’ (PSTs) challenges and experiences to practice teaching in a rural school. This study aimed to explore various difficulties encountered by urban PSTs during teaching practicum (TP) in rural schools. A total of seven PSTs enrolled in urban universities were voluntarily involved in a study that involves people’s senses and perceptions, rather than scientific evidence, also known as a phenomenological study. Data were collected through multiple semi-structured interviews, followed by a photovoice approach through which the participants were asked to take emotional photos. The results revealed that the PSTs encountered four main challenges during TP in rural schools, including changes in teacher identity construction, intercultural sensitivity barriers, a lack of supporting resources, and limited teacher professional development. Each challenge was accomplished by photographs representing PSTs’ emotions and feelings, such as a collection of dolls, natural scenery, old-printed books, and blank paper. In conclusion, integrating emotional photos into descriptive exploration is paramount evidence of how the challenges were encountered, managed, and solved for better future teaching and learning practices.

“Materials of the School of ‘Mathematical and Navigational Sciences’ under the jurisdiction of the armory chamber” from N. P. Durov’s collection as a historical source

The School of Mathematical and Navigational Sciences, the first specialized technical educational institution in Russia, was founded on the initiative of Peter the Great in Moscow in 1701. Subsequently, the Maritime Academy in St. Petersburg (1715) was set up, based on the School’s Navigators’ Classes. Most of the School’s documents were lost during the fire in the Naval Cadet Corps in 1771. A set of manuscript documents bound together, comprising the Navigation School’s bookkeeping documentation, has been preserved in the personal fonds of N. P. Durov (1831–1879), professor at the Institute of the Corps of Railway Engineers (St. Petersburg) and historian of science and technology, deposited at the Russian State Library’s Manuscript Department. This manuscript has so far remained unpublished and little-known to researchers. Durov was a renowned bibliophile and collector of manuscripts and books. Many unique handwritten materials ended up in his library after the acquisition of a part of the book collection that belonged to a collector and amateur archeographer A. I. Sulakadzev. However, as our research proved, Durov obtained these Navigation School’s manuscript documents from the home library of the writer B. M. Fedorov. After Durovʼs death, these documents were purchased by the Moscow book dealer V. V. Gautier and subsequently acquired from him by the Library of the Moscow Public Museum. This manuscript is an important source on the history of the creation and early years of the Navigation School. It includes petitions to the Tsar from its future students and the documents of both the School and the Armory that contain information about the educational process organization and the first naval cadets’ everyday life.

PROMOTION OF INDONESIAN WOMEN JAZZ MUSICIANS WITH E-ZINES: STRATEGIES AND BEST PRACTICES

Apart from being an education city, Malang City is famous for educational tourism. The city of Malang has an interesting place that can be a reference for studying the history, development and variety of music in the country, namely the Indonesian Music Museum (MMI) which is located which holds a collection of more than 26,000 musical works. This museum is the only music museum in the country. The obstacle encountered by MMI as a service partner is the limited museum promotional content uploaded on digital platforms. So far, the content usually produced is limited to museum collections, such as collections of cassettes, vinyl, and books about musicians as well as photos of activities. This paper explores the use of e-zines as a strategic tool for promoting Indonesian women jazz musicians, focusing on effective strategies and best practices for maximizing their impact. The study examines how e-zines, leveraging their multimedia capabilities and interactive features, can provide a dynamic platform for showcasing the talent and achievements of these artists. By analyzing various case studies and successful examples, the paper identifies key strategies such as engaging storytelling, high-quality content production, and targeted audience outreach. These strategies are crucial for enhancing visibility, building a dedicated fan base, and fostering greater appreciation for Indonesian women in the jazz genre. In addition to outlining effective promotional tactics, the paper delves into best practices for e-zine development and distribution. It emphasizes the importance of consistent content updates, professional presentation, and integration with social media channels to maximize reach and engagement. The findings offer valuable insights for e-zine creators, music promoters, and the artists themselves, providing a comprehensive framework for leveraging digital platforms to support and elevate the profiles of Indonesian women jazz musicians. This approach not only aids in the individual advancement of these artists but also contributes to the broader recognition and growth of Indonesia’s jazz scene on the global stage.

French Japonistes and their Collections of Hinagata Bon Pattern Books

Abstract This article examines little-known French collections of hinagata bon (Japanese pattern books) kept at the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris, whose origins can be traced back to the travels of the first japonistes to Japan in the middle of the nineteenth century. The reception of these books by the French artists, collectors, and writers, who identified, analyzed, exhibited, and then preserved them for artistic, encyclopedic, and historical purposes, reveals the fascination the patterns and the cut of Japanese clothing held for early japonistes. Hinagata bon were originally intended for the textile industry, but in France served primarily to inspire artists and designers of every kind. Moreover, the books were also appreciated for their aesthetic value, which enables us to assess the role of japonistes in the conservation of Japanese fashion images.

The Interpretation of Contextual Architecture in Designing Public Library in Balige

Teachers, lecturers, students, and the community use the library as a knowledge and information resource in the context of implementing learning. A library is often thought of as a sizable book collection that is kept for the express purpose of gathering, maintaining, and dispensing books. Students can look up and gather the most recent scientific data in the library, which aids them with their assignments. People's preference for instant information via social media, especially students, is one of the reasons reading is becoming less popular these days. Aside from the fall in students' interest in reading, two other reasons why libraries are silent are their incapacity to adapt to the changing times and their failure to satisfy the demands of students. As a result, Balige must have a public library that can serve everyone in the city and can meet the demands of community activities. This Public Library design uses a contextual architectural approach to integrate various elements of the surrounding building facades.

History in context: teaching the history of dentistry with rare materials.

History and health humanities instruction offers a framework for professional students to examine the arc and development of their profession as well as develop cultural competencies. Exploring ideas, themes, and health care practices and approaches through historical instruction can show students how culture influences health care and practice, therefore providing a context for further development of cultural competence skills. This case report describes a collaboration among a dentistry course instructor, a liaison librarian, and curators of a rare book collection. Working together, this team offers an active learning class that examines the historical arc of the dental profession. We aim to have students use primary source materials to examine the experiences, research, and narratives of their profession. Using a World Cafe with thematic tables allows students to safely examine rare materials and artifacts and have meaningful conversations about themes that are critical to dentistry's past, present, and future. Students reported that engaging with artifacts and historical materials provided a different way to understand history and enhanced their learning experience. Engaging students in this work builds critical thinking skills that are essential to evidence-based practice.

Perceptions of e-lending in Scandinavian libraries: tension and harmony between institutional logics

ABSTRACT This study examines e-lending dynamics in Scandinavian public libraries, by exploring the relationship between libraries and publishing houses. We ask how representatives of both fields perceive the public library’s role. Public libraries and publishers have traditionally served different roles in the book sphere: the library as a key cultural policy institution providing access to information and culture, and the publishers as involved in the production of books, operating on commercial premises. This relationship is affected by the change from ownership to licensing of digital book collections, which occurs along with changes on the national book markets. As a theoretical and analytical tool, the study uses the institutional logics perspective to explore the relations between different perceptions. We argue that this relationship can be illuminated through the dynamics of public service logic, market logic and digital logic. The study is empirically based on 26 in-depth interviews interviews with representatives of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish major libraries and trade publishers. Findings indicate that the relationship is nuanced and multifaceted, more than if it relied on a simple opposition between the public and the market. Both libraries and publishers share a common understanding of public service and market logics; however, they differ in perceptions of library’s role which is amplified by digital logic. The study also indicates that e-lending dynamics are influenced by cultural policies but with different outcomes in the three countries.

Grouping Library Book Collection Based On Old Book Borrowers With Clustering Method (Case study: STMIK Kaputama)

Libraries are institutions that collect printed and recorded knowledge. Books can be borrowed at the library for a length of time according to library regulations. Based on observations that some types of books in the library of STMIK Kaputama have a very high ratio of the number of borrowers, while the availability of books is limited. The addition of new book collections cannot be done because the storage capacity of the collection is limited. Based on these conditions, the grouping of book collections based on the length of book borrowing is carried out to optimize the service time for borrowing books. This application was created to assist librarians in determining the optimal length of book borrowing. So in this case, we will design and build a system that will be used in grouping library book collections based on the length of borrowing and the variables determined using the clustering method. The purpose of this research is to design and build a system for grouping library book collections in order to produce information quickly about the availability of books in the library.

THE UNIQUE TRANSLATION STRATEGY OF NOVEL TITLES

Titles of literary works such as novels plays an important role in attracting possible readers. Novel titles should also reflect the contents of the books. When a book is translated to other languages, the title should be translated accordingly. Novel titles are not always translated literally in the target language, they may vary from one country to another. For example, in “Harry Potter and the philosopher stone” in the UK, the phrase ‘philosopher stone’ is translated into ‘sorcerer’s stone’ in the US and ‘batu bertuah’ (miracle stone) in Indonesia. In French it is even translated into ‘Harry Potter a l’ecole des sorciers’ (Harry Potter in the school of witches). This study aims to investigate the translation strategies of English novel titles to Indonesian. By searching the internet and from private book collection, the writer collect 50 English novels which have been translated and published in Indonesian. Based on the writer’s personal preference, all the novels belong to thriller/suspense genre. The data collected were 50 English titles and their translations in Indonesian. Before arriving at this number of data, a preliminary selection has been done by eliminating the target text titles that were using literal translation strategy. This is deliberately done to discover the unique translation strategy of novel titles and to find out the reason for the specific translation strategy. Three main theories are used to analyse the novel titles, they are functions of title translation as suggested by Nord (2005) and Viezzi model translation (2013) and Vinay & Dalbernet (1995) translation strategies. In translating the titles, equivalence is pursued, but if it is not possible, there are other ways to accomplish it. The results show strategies such as adaptation, modulation, equivalence, and transposition are used to translate novel titles to Indonesian. Meanwhile based on Viezzi model, the target titles are categorised into explicit, indicative of the genre, suggestive, and seductive. This study would raise the translators’ awareness to choose more communicative and creative titles for literary translation tasks, including novels and other literary works.

Chosen by experts and defined for reference or borrowing, access to community history, users come to libraries to read, study or reference. Libraries contain a wide variety of materials. In the library we find all kinds of content, such as books, movies, audio and video recordings, maps, photos, computer software, databases, online databases and other media. The libraries of each college play an important role in the improvement of the institution. The main objective of this study was to examine and analysis the consumer satisfaction among the faculty members and students of Satyam College of Polytechnic, Nakodar. The research revealed that most users were satisfied with the availability of information resources and services. Promote awareness and use of electronic information sources

EVALUATION OF READING PARK MANAGEMENT BASED ON THE CIPP MODEL IN INCREASING CHILDREN'S INTEREST IN READING

Reading parks play an important role in increasing children's interest in reading. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of reading park management in Bogor Regency, using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model qualitatively. The instruments used include document studies, interviews, questionnaires, observations, and focus group discussions. Data analysis is an interactive analysis that is presented in its entirety. The results of the study describe that the evaluation of the context component is classified as good with a score of 4.03, the input component is sufficient - 3.29, the process component is sufficient - 3.40, and the product component is sufficient - 3.55. It is concluded that the evaluation of the management of reading parks in Bogor Regency is classified as "quite effective", with an average score of 3.56. There are three challenges faced by reading parks, namely 1) minimal government attention, 2) low public awareness, and 3) a small collection of books. The management of reading parks must ensure that there are readers, books, and commitment from the managers. So that reading parks can increase children's interest in reading, in addition to being a catalyst for improving the quality of human resources to boost Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI).

Establishing Literacy Foundations : Policies and Interventions for Indonesia's Future Excellence

This study explores the current condition of children's literacy in Indonesia focusing on several critical issues including the impact of inequality in literacy access, the factors influencing the quality of teaching languages, exploring the development of local literacy cultures and reading preferences in order to create a more inclusive literacy program, and the evaluation of current literacy policies. A policy analysis and document/library analysis method with qualitative research approach were used to gather data from documentation studies of literacy policies, reports on implementation and current literatures related to children's literacy in Indonesia. The data analysis technique of this research applied thematic analysis to review, identify, and analyze the data. The results showed that Indonesia still experiences a protracted learning crisis, particularly in relation to children's literacy. Factors like low literacy activities, Covid-19 pandemic and the results of national assessments indicate a serious challenge regarding the performance of children's literacy. Limited children's reading interest and availability of suitable book collections also pose a challenge to overcome. The study proposes several steps to improve children's literacy in Indonesia, including increasing accessibility and variety of book collections, enhancing collaboration between relevant authorities, harmonising with the global literacy standards, widening access to books, particularly in rural communities, involving the local community and establishing corporate partnerships with private sectors. The study hopefully provides a meaningful contribution to developing solutions to Indonesia's children's literacy challenges and strategies to improve children's literacy.
