Digital and socio-demographic aspects of the dissemination of library and information science education

The processes of digitisation in society have an impact on the technological, socio-economic, and demographic aspects of developing and implementing educational programs in the library and information sector. This results in an increased role for libraries, archives, and management structures as educational centers. The article aims to study the patterns of influence that the digitisation of society has on the technological, socio-economic, and demographic aspects of developing and implementing educational programs in library and information science at foreign educational institutions. Research methods are analysis, synthesis, logical generalisations, synchronous section, and content analysis. The findings reveal that the inclusion of educational components on digitalisation and information literacy in bachelor’s and master’s programs, as well as in postgraduate education programs for continuous professional development of specialists, contributes to improving education quality and adherence to educational standards in library and information science. The competitiveness of educational programs is determined by their alignment with labour market needs. The social desirability and status of the library and information science field are contingent upon shifting away from conventional notions regarding its societal function. The institutional functions of academic libraries are evolving as they engage in scientific research as research partners and provide scientific communication services. Innovative pedagogy in library and information science entails adherence to the values of social equity, diversity and inclusivity, and accessible education and research. Libraries are acquiring a dominant status as information and analytical centers. Digital technologies profoundly change the nature of the professional activities of library and archive workers. These trends drive the transformation of higher education towards international educational standards and modernisation of professional education content. The practical significance of the study is that its results can be used to improve and revise educational programs in library and information activities

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Knowledge Centers? Assessment of the Situation

The study examines the historical journey of information, which started with stone and clay tablets and continued with papyrus, parchment, and paper forms, and ultimately its transformation into digital form with industry 4.0 & 5.0 information technologies (IT), the information age. The developments in IT, that is, computer, network/internet/www, have opened the doors of a new world. Based on these developments, the transformation of information and information resources into digital form, their inclusion in computers and networks, their movement at the global level (www), and their visibility and accessibility have revolutionized the world of information. It has opened the doors of a new world where the information transformed into digital form is used with open source software and internet (w2-w3) supported open data and accredited scientific research data supported by big data, and artificial intelligence software enables the information to think autonomously, produce content, speak and show actionable behaviors. The study tries to find an answer to the question that artificial intelligence (AI) could replace information centers that archive, process, manage, and provide access to accredited information and evaluate the situation.

Model media learning for disaster risk reduction in the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark

The development of tourism activities in the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark has brought many tourists to visit the area. Along with increasing tourism activities, the risk of disasters in the geopark area has also increased. One thing that can be done to reduce disaster risk in the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark area is to utilize geoheritage as a learning medium for disaster risk reduction. In this study, we quantitatively described geoheritage by looking at its relationship with the priority actions of the Sendai framework. The results of the assessment of geological heritage values that have been carried out in 21 geosites of the geopark area show an interrelated relationship. Scientific, educational, tourism and degradation values of geoheritage sites have an important role in conveying information and messages related to disaster mitigation, which is in line with the objectives of Sendai's priority actions. Geological heritage sites can later be developed as an educational medium because it not only has accessibility capital, supporting facilities, good geological conditions, geological diversity, but also contains geological informationthat can be used for education and research. Developing geological disaster information within geoheritage sites in geopark areas, may be in the form of geotrails and geotourism activities with the theme of disaster mitigation and earth heritage, picture books for children based on site geoheritage information, especially those related to the introduction of geological disasters, ares also ideal to develop. A geological information center at the Batur Volcano Museum and other educational acivities that can be made within the geopark area.

Collaborative Governance in Tourism Village Development in Ciamis Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia

Tourism villages are a potential sector in the development of an area with very minimal risk of environmental damage. This makes village tourism a leading sector for all villages, including villages in Ciamis Regency. The development of tourist villages in the normative and empirical process needs to be carried out through collaborative governance because tourist villages have multidimensional characteristics. The development of tourist villages in Ciamis Regency is still not optimal because even though it has great potential and is supported by the Tourism Information Center, it turns out that the development process is still carried out separately between all parties involved. The aim of this research is to analyze collaborative government governance in developing tourist villages and find an ideal collaborative governance model in developing tourist villages in Ciamis Regency. For this purpose, Ansell and Gash's government collaboration theory is used which includes four dimensions, namely initial conditions, facilitative leadership, institutional design, and collaboration processes. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the ongoing tourism village development process has not fully adopted collaborative governance. This is because trust has not been formed in each of the actors involved. The ideal tourism village development model that adopts collaborative governance is the Tourism Development Model. This model prioritizes building trust and sustainable commitment to each actor in tourism village development.

Landscape changes and watershed erosion in Prince George's County, Maryland

AbstractThis study evaluated erosion rates and sediment production in streams, and factors potentially influencing them throughout the Anacostia, Patuxent, and Potomac (non‐Anacostia) River watersheds within Prince George's County, Maryland, US. As part of the County's watershed‐scale biological monitoring program, from approx. 1999 to 2008, permanent monuments were established to allow measurement of stream channel cross‐sectional (XS) area. The intent of this study was to characterize the intensity and spatial distribution of fluvial geomorphic instability across the county and use the results to target and plan stormwater management and stream restoration actions. For this study, 78 stream locations were re‐surveyed in 2020, representing a time lapse of from 12 to 21 years. Data collected included XS dimensions, modified Wolman 100‐particle pebble counts, and reach‐specific soil bulk density. Land use/land cover data were compiled from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD), precipitation from the National Weather Service Center for Environmental Information (NCEI), and soils from the Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey (NRCS/WSS). We calculated percent change in XS area, rates of erosion, sediment yield, and assigned geomorphic classifications, and interpreted them in the context of spatial positions relative to changes in land cover characteristics. Sediment yields among the 78 reaches exhibited a combination of those undergoing enlargement/erosion (67.9%), reduction/deposition (25.6%), and the remaining 6.4% with essentially no change over the period of record. Of the top 20 most geomorphically active reaches surveyed in the County, 12 are in the Anacostia River basin, with the other scattered among the Patuxent River and Potomac River basins.

TPMGD: A genomic database for the traditional medicines in Pakistan

ObjectiveIn Pakistan, traditional medicines are an important component of the medical system, with numerous varieties and great demands. However, due to the scattered resources and the lack of systematic collection and collation, adulteration of traditional Pakistani medicine (TPM) is common, which severely affects the safety of their medicinal use and the import and export trades. Therefore, it is urgent to systematically organize and unify the management of TPM and establish a set of standards and operable methods for the identification of TPM. MethodsWe collected and organized the information on 128 TPMs with regard to their medicinal parts, efficacy, usage, and genetic material, based on Pakistan Hamdard Pharmacopoeia of Eastern Medicine: Pharmaceutical Codex. The genetic information of TPM is summarized from national center for biotechnology information (NCBI) and global pharmacopoeia genome database (GPGD). Furthermore, we utilized bioinformatics technology to supplement the chloroplast genome (cp-genome) data of 12 TPMs. To build the web server, we used the Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP (LAMP) system and constructed the webpage on a PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) model view controller (MVC) framework. ResultsWe constructed a new genomic database, the traditional Pakistani medicine genomic database (TPMGD). This database comprises five entries, namely homepage, medicinal species, species identification, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), and download. Currently, TPMGD contains basic profiles of 128 TPMs and genetic information of 102 TPMs, including 140 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences and 119 mitochondrial genome sequences from Bombyx mori, 1 396 internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequences and 1 074 intergenic region (psbA-trnH) sequences specific to 92 and 83 plant species, respectively. Additionally, TPMGD includes 199 cp-genome sequences of 82 TPMs. ConclusionTPMGD is a multifunctional database that integrates species description, functional information inquiry, genetic information storage, molecular identification of TPM, etc. The database not only provides convenience for TPM information queries but also establishes the scientific basis for the medication safety, species identification, and resource protection of TPM.

The population morbidity with diseases of ear and mastoid and accessibility of otorhinolaryngological care

The article analyses level and dynamics of morbidity of diseases of ear and mastoid in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in 2020-2021 and availability of otorhinolaryngological care. The methods of comparative statistics and mathematical analysis were applied to analyze official data provided by the Yakut Republic Medical Information and Analytical Center, the specialized Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the Republic Hospital № 2 - Center for Emergency Medical Care and the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia. The study established increasing trend of increasing morbidity of these diseases in both the adult and child population. In 2021, the growth rate of overall morbidity of adult population reached 17.7% and 8.8% in children, as compared to 2020. The primary morbidity of adults made up to 22.3%, in children - 15.7%. The comparative analysis demonstrated higher rates of general morbidity in the Republic: by 0.5% as compared with the Russian Federation and by 14.1% as compared with the Far Eastern Federal Okrug. The level of primary morbidity was lower than similar indicators of the compared territories by 17.1% and 3.0%, respectively. It is worth noting that analyzed morbidity of diseases of ear and mastoid reflects prevalence of ENT diseases in the region only indirectly, as the statistical data do not allow to estimate separately rate of upper respiratory tract lesions. Meanwhile, respiratory diseases rank first in the structure of population diseases in Yakutia. The growth of disability in children due to diseases of ear and mastoid requires attention. Among children of 0-17 years old, the indicator of primary disability increased from 0.38 to 0.8 per 10,000 of children population (increase of 110.5%); in children 0-3 years old - from 0.9 to 2.3 per 10,000 of the child population (an increase of 155.6%). The analysis of the number of beds in otorhinolaryngology wards established that that the bed capacity per 10,000 population was 0.6 that is significantly lower than the established standards. The article emphasizes need to adjust the Federal standards for hospital bed capacity, taking into account climatic and geographical conditions of the region, which contribute to spread and chronization of ENT diseases.

Influence of Attractions, Accessibility, and Facilities on The Image of The Peak Batu Roti Ciampea Tourism Object

Puncak Batu Roti is a tourist attraction in Bogor Regency. The lack of diversity in tourist attractions causes fluctuations in the number of tourist visits. This title was chosen because Batu Roti Peak Ciampea is the specific location that wants to be researched, and this research tries to understand the factors that can influence the image of tourist attractions at that location. Batu Roti Peak is located on the Ciampea Limestone Mountain, Bogor. This peak is one of five peaks in the area, which also include Galau Peak, Lalana Peak, Arca Lima Peak, and Karang Gantung Peak. The location is about 17 km from the center of Bogor City. This research aims to see how tourist attractions (x) influence visiting interest (y) at the Puncak Batu Roti Tourist Attraction. Tourists who come to the Puncak Batu Roti Tourist Attraction are the objects of this research. Quantitative descriptive data analysis was used in this research. Data collected from the questionnaire was used for simple linear regression analysis. The research results show that the tourist attraction variable is in the good category with a percentage of 68.33% and the interest in visiting variable is also in the good category with a percentage of 2%. This result has a significant positive value, indicating that the more tourist attractions there are at the Puncak Batu Roti Tourist Attraction, the greater the interest in visiting. Researchers advise managers to develop new tourist attractions such as limestone educational tourism for elementary, middle and high school students by utilizing the property of local residents in the Puncak area. They also suggested building a Tourist Information Center (TIC) to provide information about all aspects of the Puncak Batu Roti Tourist Attraction for tourists.
