Digital Information Resources Collaboration in a digital age

This study explored digital information resource collaboration among librarians in tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to identify the types of digital resources available, assess the usefulness of collaboration, evaluate its impact on librarian performance, and identify challenges encountered in the collaboration process. A descriptive survey design was adopted, targeting all librarians in academic libraries within the state. Using a purposive sampling technique, five institutions were selected, and data were gathered from 45 librarians through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and simple regression analysis were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that e-databases, e-journals, and e-books were the most common digital resources, while less-utilized resources like online magazines were scarce. Collaboration was found to enhance the preservation of digital materials and improve librarians’ engagement with users, although there was a need for greater focus on subject-matter expertise. Additionally, a strong positive relationship was observed between collaboration and librarian performance. Key challenges to collaboration included limited budgets, inadequate ICT facilities, and unreliable power supply. The study concludes that fostering a collaborative culture and addressing infrastructural and financial barriers are crucial to improving digital resource management and professional development among librarians.

Artistic features of Lydia Kossutskaya’s prose for children (based on the material of the Kazakh literary online magazine Daktil)

Children's literature is a unique means of reflecting ideas existing in society. It plays a vital role in shaping the cultural background of the nation and each individual member of society. The children's prose of Lydia Kossuthskaya has been little studied, since the writer devotes the main place to prose in her work. The need to expand ideas about the structure of Lydia Kossutskaya’s children’s stories determines the significance of this work. Possessing artistic value, Kossuthskaya's children's prose needs thorough research. The novelty of the work lies in the attempt to comprehend the internal patterns of Kossuthskaya’s children’s prose, which can be explored through a consistent and systematic analysis of poetics. The purpose of this article is to analyze L. Kossutskaya’s prose for children from the point of view of the features of her poetics (artistic language). Based on the results obtained, it is possible to expand the understanding of the poetics of children's stories of both Kossuth and Kazakh literature in general.

Feminist Relational Agency and the Cultural Contestation of Heteronormative Gender Norms in the Indian American Diaspora

Through an analysis of essays published by the online magazine American Kahani, a publication that centers contemporary generations of the Indian American community, we argue that feminist relational agency allows Indian American community members to challenge dominant expressions of culturally specific heteronormative gender norms while simultaneously fulfilling their need to maintain an “authentic” sense of cultural identity. In doing so, cultural contestation emerges as a process internal to the community through which members seek to develop alternate forms of relationality while sustaining their connectedness to “Indian (American) culture.” This study contributes to scholarship about intersectional and transnational feminist agency and the Indian American diaspora by challenging the problematic application of western frameworks of agency that see non-western cultures as barriers for women of color to overcome and by specifically calling for studies that center complex and culturally specific conceptions of agency.

Стратегии научно-популярного педагогического интернет-дискурса

The article presents the results of a discursive analysis of online articles on foreign language learning. The analysis continues the study of the English popular science pedagogical discourse, complementing the number of already identified and characterized components with discourse strategies. The aim of the paper is to identify and analyze the strategies of the popular science pedagogical internet discourse which would expand scientific ideas about the interaction peculiarities between the pedagogical community and society. As practical material, the study uses one of the most famous English online magazines dedicated to language learning. By random sampling, 70 text fragments are selected from the magazine, exhibiting the whole variety of speech means the pedagogical community uses to cover its intentions and values. To achieve the aim set in the research, the authors use linguapragmatic, linguasemiotic, discursive analysis and descriptive, analytical, interpretive, statistical methods. As a result of the analysis, the strategies of attracting attention, modality, transmitting reliability, forming professional identity, solidarity, manipulation and consolidation have been established. Each strategy reveals its own means of speech implementation, among which we can name various verbal constructions, appealing constructions, constructions emphasizing causes and consequences of educational processes, evaluating lexemes, lexemes with semantics of inducement to action, etc. The range of communication strategies and means of their verbalization is not limited to those given in the paper. In order to describe the model of the popular science pedagogical discourse existing not only in the English internet space, the need for further analysis of the research subject is obvious.

Особенности наименования косметической продукции в виртуальных немецкоязычных рекламных текстах (на материале сайтов производителей косметики)

Advertising is constantly developing as it attempts to keep pace with the ever-changing reality. German producers of cosmetics advertise their brands in German-language online magazines, and these ads often reflect the current changes at the language level. The authors identified and described the current naming methods and patterns in online advertising of German cosmetic brands. The naming strategies followed the rapid global changes and adapted to the constantly emerging new cosmetic products. The most recent nominations proved to be structurally and semantically diverse. Along with the typical German word-formation, they demonstrated some novel methods, which indicated the most recent transformations in the language. The modern German cosmetic advertising is subject to the process of neologization. While each neoplasm adds to the linguistic expressiveness of the language in general, it increases the reader’s involvement in each particular ad. The neologisms were coined in line with German as well as English patterns while some were combinations of them both.

Evolutionary Psychology and the Naturalization of Gender Inequality

This article explores the uses of evolutionary psychology in a corpus of 29 articles published by the online magazine Quillette. We show that while they openly rely on a rationalist, descriptive stance, Quillette contributors actively promote a range of normative views on science and the social world, including gender inequalities, with the stated goal to question the so-called “left-wing” and “blank slate” orthodoxies. In so doing, this magazine participates to the development and diffusion of a conservative meritocratic frame that strongly resembles the self-legitimizing discourses put forth by socially dominant groups, only in a naturalized form.

Exploring the prospects for Lees’ ‘engaged dialogue’ as meaningful exchange at the urban research publishing table

Building on Lees’ call for ‘engaged dialogue’ between academics and non-academics (practitioners and activists) through collaborative writing and publishing, this commentary considers the approaches and relations that can enhance such efforts. I draw on my experiences as a managing editor of an online magazine, Progressive City: Radical Alternatives – a magazine that seeks to transcend the academic-practice divide – and the lessons they offer (opportunities and challenges) for realising more inclusive forms of engagement in the realm of publishing.

Redefining gender roles: women in South Asia's Jihadist Movements

ABSTRACT South Asia has witnessed a surge in jihadist activity, with Al-Qaeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS) making significant inroads into the region. Their presence has reshaped terrorism dynamics, notably by involving women in jihadism. AQ and IS have leveraged social media to attract both male and female recruits, with a particular focus on the latter. Through a thematic network analysis of online magazines like Azan, Resurgence, Dabiq, Rumiyah, Inspire, and Al Balagh, this article explores the evolving roles that AQ and IS offer to women. It argues that the emphasis on individual obligation of jihad through online propaganda has not only increased women's participation in jihad, but has also redefined their roles in South Asian jihadism. The changing roles of women in jihadism in South Asia encompass a range of activities, including suicide bombers, propagandists, planners, plotters, recruiters, matchmakers, facilitators, and fundraisers. Notably, IS offers a wider array of dynamic roles for women compared to its competitor, AQ. This article highlights the shift in the roles of women in South Asian jihadism due to the online propaganda efforts of AQ and IS, which have expanded the opportunities for women to participate in various capacities within these extremist groups.

Skaitmeninimo pasekmės ir iššūkiai Kosovo žurnalams socialinių medijų eroje

The spread of the Internet has radically affected the world of media. As the main source of information in the 21st century, it inevitably became the new home of the media. This transition was not just a copy-paste of existing content: instead, the media had to change their content during this transformation. This analysis will identify these changes and observe what is being offered to audiences by online magazines. It will explore how the content of online magazines differs from what was offered to an audience in the 20th century. The object of analysis is the Kosovarja magazine, which has been published since 1971. This magazine is now only available online and the package of the Python programming language was used to extract the data necessary for this activity. In addition, the magazine Hylli i Dritës is used as a case study to explore the reasons why some magazines have not managed to be reproduced in the online market. In order to understand the audience’s perception of these changes, a public opinion survey of 1,051 respondents was conducted for this study.
