II International Scientific-practical Conference "Library Development Strategies: from Idea to Implementation", October 6-9, 2020

The development of market relations, competition for investment in science, education and culture, and the aggravation of social and environmental issues call for rapid response to external and internal changes. One of the most effective tools for that response is strategic management methods, which the libraries of different types can implement. The results of implementing strategic management workflow in library activities have quite practical and measurable benefits; they bring about improvement in the quality and efficiency of library products and services. The library products and services placement, sharing experiences and further development require a dialogue between experts, which is implemented within the framework of issue-related scientific and practical activities successfully. One of such event was the International Research and Practice Seminar “Library Development Strategies: From Idea to Implementation”, initiated by H.I. Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and Ukrainian Library Association in 2017. The event brought together more than 100 participants from Germany, Poland, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine and relished the media attention.

The First International Research Seminar on Ayurveda (2014), Birstein, Germany.

A total of 150 delegates representing 19 countries attended the IRSA which was held on 14 and 15 of September 2014. A major outcome of IRSA 2014 has been the establishment of an IRSA Research Network of individuals and institutions across the globe to promote, initiate and coordinate research activities in line with the White Paper for Ayurveda Research, which is being finalized for publication. About 50 researchers along with at least 10 major international institutions agreed to participate in the IRSA Network. The members of the network formed interest groups in order to develop research projects on selected topics.

International collaboration in HIV prevention research: evidence from a research seminar in Russia.

HIV transmission is a major health concern. Global efforts are necessary to control the spread of infection. International collaborative studies in countries with high rates of new infections are essential for increasing knowledge on the behavioral, social, and biomedical aspects of HIV/AIDS and HIV transmission. Statistics indicate a growing HIV epidemic in Russia. There are alarming proportions of new cases attributed to heterosexual contact, and HIV is increasingly affecting people in the general population who are not part of any traditional high-risk group. Despite recent advances in HIV prevention, data on effective behavioral prevention approaches are limited. There is minimal evidence to suggest which types of prevention will be effective in reducing the risk for HIV transmission among people at risk in the general population. This article presents a review and discussion of an international research seminar, HIV Prevention Research: Evidence-Based Behavioral Approaches. Local and international interdisciplinary researchers gathered for the purposes of exchanging research results and information about ongoing studies, identifying gaps in knowledge, and discussing promising prevention strategies. The overarching goal was to advance HIV prevention research through scientific integration. The seminar provided an excellent platform for building research capacity in interdisciplinary HIV research in Russia and integrating research efforts with the international research community to contribute to HIV prevention research throughout the world.

Space, Place, and Social Justice in Education

Here, guest editors N. Geoffrey Bright, Helen Manchester, and Sylvie Allendyke (formerly Sarah Dyke) introduce this special issue of Qualitative Inquiry on space, place, and social justice in education. They explore how the thematic focus originated in a series of informal and formal discussions that came together in an international research seminar that took place in Manchester, United Kingdom, in summer 2012. That event considered how qualitative inquirers in education research are currently deploying the “spatial turn” in social theory to respond to a global context of increasingly asymmetrical power relations. Uniquely, that is, the Manchester seminar called for a discussion that articulated theoretical interrogations of space and place to practical approaches aimed at doing social justice in education and education research. Picking up topics raised by the contributing authors and relating them to their own work, the editors explore the connections, divergences, and novel productivities that are evident in the theoretical and practical approaches adopted, noting their fruitfulness for an ongoing practice of “entanglement” in which research, as an aspect of living justly, might reside.

Exploring students’ learning experience in an international online research seminar in the Synchronous Cyber Classroom

The development of computer-mediated communication enables teaching and learning to take place across geographical boundaries. An online synchronous learning environment with cyber face-to-face features affords students the sense of learning together online. This study reports a novel design of organizing a 16-week seminar for doctoral students across Canada, Italy, New Zealand, and Taiwan in the Synchronous Cyber Classroom, an online synchronous learning environment. Students' learning experiences were explored from the perspective of students' interactions with students, instructors, and the content, based on which the perception of being in a learning community was formed. This article reports how this international online research seminar was organized, how students' learning experience was analyzed, and what we learned about students' learning in this international online research seminar. Highlights? A novel design for an international online research seminar is presented. ? PhD students from Canada, Italy, New Zealand, and were participated. ? Effective interactions among learners, instructors, and course content are essential. ? Instructional design and facilitation are critical in synchronous cyber classroom. ? Promoting international collaborations among educational institutions around the world.

The evolution of qualitative research in consumer behavior

This article is my response to an invitation to prepare a “heritage assessment” for presentation to the International Research Seminar at La Londe les Maures in June 1999. Such an assessment is, according to Alain Strazzieri, an authorized view of what is worth remembering from the literature about topics in consumer behavior research. This charge is an open one and I will execute it freely. My presentation of this view has been authorized by the seminar's Scientific Committee. Otherwise, you will have to judge my authority on its merits. It does have the weight of my advanced years, giving me the advantage of having started formal study of consumers when research into their behavior was still young. My main themes are the intellectual battling and intellectual cycling that have gone on in our field, especially with reference to the role of qualitative research.

"Haemoxygenase-1 induction and exhaled markers of oxidative stress in lung diseases", summary of the ERS Research Seminar in Budapest, Hungary, September, 1999.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in noninvasive monitoring of airway inflammation and oxidative stress. Several volatile and nonvolatile substances can be measured in exhaled breath and have been suggested as potential biomarkers of these events. Exhaled gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), alkanes (ethane, pentane), and substances measured in breath condensate, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and isoprostanes were all suggested as potential markers of oxidative stress in the lung. A European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Research Seminar entitled "Haemoxygenase-1 induction and exhaled markers of oxidative stress in lung diseases" was organized by the Airway Regulation and Provocation Group of the Clinical Allergy and Immunology Assembly in Budapest, Hungary in September, 1999 to integrate the latest knowledge on these issues and accelerate further improvement in this area. During this 2-day event several issues were raised about: the use and standardization of measurements in exhaled breath; problems of measuring expired H2O2 and other mediators in breath condensate; role and regulation of haemoxygenase (HO)-1 in the lung; and conditions and factors influencing exhaled CO. This report is a summary of the main presentations at the seminar, together with the current areas of research in this rapidly expanding field.

HEADACHE PATHOGENESIS. Volume 7.MONOAMINES, NEUROPEPTIDES, PURINES, AND NITRIC OXIDE.

By Jes Olesen and Lars Edvinsson. 1997. Pp. 352. Philadelphia: Lippincott-Raven.Price £72.50. ISBN 7-7817-1208-4. The aim of this book is to bring together available knowledge, much of it recent, about messenger molecules and their receptors involved in primary headaches. Individual chapters are summaries of platform presentations or posters presented at a recent international headache research seminar. These are divided into sections covering messenger molecules in relation to the blood vessels themselves, the role of such molecules in pain processing and the evidence linking amines and amino acids, neuropeptides and nitric oxide (NO) respectively, in the pathogenesis of migraine. The first messenger molecule to be implicated in migraine was 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Blood 5-HT levels decrease during a migraine attack and this prompted the search for 5-HT receptor antagonists and agonists as possible therapeutic agents. This has culminated in the development of sumatriptan, an effective therapy for acute migrainous attack. While 5-HT is important in the pathogenesis of migraine this is by no means the whole story, and even the action of drugs such as sumatriptan may be more complicated than first thought. Many of the chapters focus on the potential role of NO in migraine pathogenesis. This hypothesis is well developed by Olesen and colleagues who base it on three main lines of evidence. Firstly, activation of the NO–cGMP pathway causes migraine attacks in migraineurs. Second, drugs that are effective in the …
