Quantification of Gypsum in Soils via Portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Abstract This study explores the potential of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as a rapid, nondestructive, and cost-effective technique for in situ sulfate quantification. Gypsum, the main source of sulfate in soils, reacts with calcium-based stabilizers to form expansive minerals, which reduces the long-term strength of the treated soil. Therefore, accurate detection of sulfate content prior to employing calcium-based chemical stabilization is important to mitigate the possibility of expansive mineral formation and ensure acceptable engineering behavior of the stabilized soil. Portable handheld XRF (PXRF) has shown the ability to estimate gypsum content accurately, utilizing calcium as a proxy. However, detecting sulfur, in the form of sulfite or sulfate remains challenging due to device sensitivity limitations. This research aims to address this limitation and develop a method for direct sulfur detection, enhancing the utility of PXRF for in situ sulfate quantification. Laboratory standards were created with known amounts of gypsum and portions were sent to a commercial laboratory for whole rock analysis. The remainder of the reference standards were used to calibrate several soil library standards within the PXRF. The calibrated PXRF was able to accurately detect the anhydrous form of gypsum, anhydrite (CaSO4), in these reference standards for contents ranging from 0 to 8 %. The proposed XRF-based approach offers the potential to revolutionize sulfate detection in soils, providing a rapid and reliable tool for assessing soil stability and optimizing chemical stabilization efforts. By enabling real-time, on-site analysis, this method holds promise for improving construction practices and reducing the risk of structural damage associated with soils containing sulfate-bearing minerals.

Magnetic and acoustic sensors in the age of digitalization for industrial production

The challenges of digitalization are giving rise to new generations of measurement technology. This does not necessarily involve the use of new physical principles; rather, the importance of handling and generating valuable data has increased. We present a new measuring system that samples and digitizes analogue signals at 50 MHz with 24-bit conversion. Every 43 µs, a Fourier step is generated for 1,024 data points via an FPGA-based measurement card. The resulting spectral data diagram can then be electronically filtered to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. With this procedure, further possibilities have been created to improve data analysis and data handling, one of which is a parametric pattern recognition, which transfers selectable signals to a library based on the spectral data diagram and searches for them in future data using a similarity algorithm. The use of Python is another building block. With Python, machine learning methods can be transferred from training directly to the measurement system and can run there directly using the extensive library standards. Sensor-fusion is a module that allows analog data to be analyzed via the measurement card, but at the same time also links digital data with analog data by connecting DAQ modules from a third source as virtual ports and transmitting values to shared databases. This article shows the application of the described measurement concept using magneto-inductive sensors and piezoelectric sensors. Magnetic sensors react sensitively to material changes and can reliably determine mechanical parameters such as hardness, residual stresses and grain size. The mentioned software functions enable non-contact measurement of ferromagnetic materials at high throughput speeds. So far limited to laboratory applications, magnetic sensors can also be used safely in harsh industrial conditions. Applications include rapid differentiation of heat treatment conditions, detection of grinding burn and hardness measurements. Acoustic sensors are used in areas that are difficult to access or whose environmental conditions make the use of optical systems in particular difficult. The sensors can mainly detect cracks, frictional behaviour and wear quantities. Applications are in particular straightening processes of hardened steel components, wire drawing, welding, deep drawing and machining. In general, this method can also be used to monitor other sensors and thus raise them to a new level of evaluation technology and data analysis.

The historical development and current landscape of health library standards: A critical review.

Since the emergence of the first health library standards, a large body of literature has been published in this field, most often focusing on a particular standard, or set of standards. In the case of literature reviews, they have been usually partial and integrated into a broader study. Identify and analyse national health library standards developed in different countries worldwide over the past 70 years, tracing their historical development and current status. A comprehensive search of published literature was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, LISA, and Google Scholar up to May 2023. The reference lists and citations of retrieved papers were reviewed. After screening and eligibility, a total of 112 papers were included in the final selection. More than 40 national hospital library standards published by a group of Anglo-Saxon and European countries were identified. In a chronological approach, the standards have been arranged by decades, from the 1950s to the present day, and the context of their appearance, their main contributions, and the relationships between them have been analysed. The major trends that have marked their evolution and development over time have also been established. Standards have a key role to play in the important challenge facing health libraries today to demonstrate the high impact and value of their services in the functioning of their organisations and in improving patient care.

An understanding of school libraries within the technical vocational education and training system: Chile’s CRA school libraries

Our study seeks to explore how official Chilean governmental normative documents envision school libraries within its Technical Vocational Education and Training system. This system has not been exempted from the discursive rhetoric that maintains that for today’s society being able to engage with information is indispensable. While the library has been argued to be a model space for developing such practices, this need not be the case. The role of the library and librarians is not fixed but rather runs within a continuum. Given that libraries’ roles are not fixed, exploring the underlying assumptions of documents that set out standards for libraries is important. Failing to question such assumptions can lead to problematic implementations where discrepancies between rhetoric and practice become common. Within the Chilean context, normative documents as well as teachers explicitly assign the school library responsibility for the development of practices to engage with information. Additionally, in Chile, the enactment of public policy concomitant to school libraries originated from the idea that they were fundamental for developing literacy and practices to purposefully engage with information. Methodologically, we have conducted a post-foundational discourse analysis. Two documents central to the detailing of school library standards underwent a synchronic heuristic discourse analysis as understood by relational-ontology. Findings indicate that the understandings of school libraries are closer to that of a passive annex, or resource, of a school and not as a site for instruction and learning. Our findings indicate that such an understanding slants toward an understanding of libraries mainly conceived in quantitative terms, ultimately leading to the potential thwarting of practices to engage with information.

Library Management Advocacy Study of IAIN Fattahul Muluk Papua Library Program in Realizing Digital Library in 2023

The study of the IAIN Fattahul Muluk Papua Library program in realizing a digital library is a form of adjustment to technological developments in improving its competence as a supporter of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education according to the digital era. The discussion of this study uses the theory of Challenge and Response proposed by Arnold Y. Toynbee. The challenges and responses in the program have reinforced the theory. Some responses are shown by the existence of programs in various components, namely the digital collection component of e-books has held 421 titles, 1,151 copies, developing an institutional Repository as a forum for campus community papers in digital form, and other supporting facilities, such as Turnitin Plagiarism Checker Online. The components of library services, both user services and technical services, also lead to the digitization system. For lending and returning printed books, e-books, free library certificates according to computerized and digitized data. Technical services through the migration program of processing library materials, especially printed books consisting of 5,668 titles, 15,589 copies have been and are being reprocessed to comply with national library standards. Library implementation and management component programs that emphasize reporting systems are a hallmark of good library governance. The Cooperation Program followed up by comparative studies with UIN Mataram and with the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia is a step forward. The existence of additional programs from librarianship organizations implemented such as the Indonesian Higher Education Library Forum (FPPTI), the Indonesian Librarian Association (IPI) of Papua Province shows the level of public trust in the ability of librarians in particular and the IAIN Fattahul Muluk Papua Library in general

Relasi Kuasa Dalam Akreditasi Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi

This study aims to describe the power relations of Michel Foucault in the accreditation of higher education libraries in Indonesia. Given the large role of the higher education library in supporting the implementation of education in the tertiary institution itself, accreditation as a formal recognition of quality assurance or the fulfillment of quality standards in implementation needs to be questioned. The data proves that from 2,057 university libraries in Indonesia, 722 have just been accredited, so the researchers tried to conduct a study by looking at Foucault's power relations in accrediting university libraries. The method used in this research is exploratory descriptive method. The results of this study convey that the accreditation of higher education libraries has Foucault's theory of power relations. This can have an impact on the organizational structure of the library manager in implementing and managing the library. The organizers and managers in question are the implementation and management as mandated by Law no. 43 of 2007 and PP no. 24 of 2014 and SNP no. 13 of 2017 which meets library standards, but it needs to be understood that Foucault's theory of power relations only gives to anyone freely, whether it's the power of one's own will or power over one's position and whether the effect is good or bad depends on the person who uses that power himself.

Insights on first-generation students’ development of social capital for the rigours of college-level research

As a part of a larger study titled, First Years Meet the Frames, this work explores the perceptions of first-generation students (FGS) on their readiness for college-level research as well as their first-year college experience with libraries and librarians. Although, by definition, these students lack the cultural capital normally derived from parents who went to college in order to readily assimilate into higher education institutions, depending on their high school experiences, they may be able to build social capital. Accordingly, this article investigates such opportunities which lie in high schools with strong library programs that have a full-time certified librarian working in alignment with the national school library standards of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). It addresses what aspects of this preparation facilitate the development of social capital and follows FGS into the first year of college to see how they continue to build it. It also compares FGS to their continuing generation student (CGS) counterparts from the same high schools. Findings show that FGS can build social capital via these high school library programs and continue to leverage their high school experiences and skill sets in order to create new networks and to tackle college-level research during the first year of college. FGS demonstrate similar preparedness and similar confidence in research abilities as their CGS counterparts.

Information-seeking Strategies Used and Challenges Encountered by Art and Design Students in Uganda When Seeking Information

Access to relevant information is crucial for Art and Design students to meet their information needs and achieve their educational goals. This paper explores the information-seeking strategies used by Art and Design students in diplomaawarding institutions in Uganda, and the challenges they encounter when seeking information to meet their information needs. This is part of a doctoral study that investigated the information-seeking behaviour of Art and Design students in diploma-awarding institutions in Uganda. The study population comprised Art and Design students in the four Art and Design institutions, library heads in the same institutions, and directors at the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE). Data was collected using questionnaire, interview and observation methods. Data was collected from February to August 2022. The study revealed that Art and Design students use various information-seeking strategies to locate and access information. Browsing online images, photographing activities in the environment, recording videos of activities in the environment, and consulting Art and Design librarians were the most used. The least used strategies included browsing art and design collections on library shelves, using keywords, and using Boolean operators. The study found that Art and Design students encountered varied challenges when seeking information. The key challenges were lack of Internet at the institutions, inadequate and outdated information materials in the library, slow Internet, high cost of Internet data, and lack or inadequate knowledge to evaluate the quality of information on the Internet. The key recommendations included the need for Art and Design institutions to invest heavily in ICT infrastructure, including Internet connectivity, and also to develop information literacy courses for the students; the need for the NCHE prioritise monitoring of the study institutions to ensure compliance with library standards; and the need for the Government of Uganda zero-rate the Internet in the study institutions.

Expectations and Understandings of Critical Work in School Libraries

Libraries are tied to an American history and current context that oppresses, demonstratesprejudice, and embodies injustices. Preliminary findings suggest (1) school library standards insufficiently address schoollibrarians' roles in engaging in critical work and (2) school librarians need additional learningopportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and desire to engage in critical work.Although the study is limited to one school district, findings may offer insight into andpotential guidance for evaluating school library programs, and strategies providing supportfor anti-oppression work in school libraries.
