Związek Bibliotekarzy Polskich w IFLA. Początki współpracy
Authors: Mężyński Andrzej
Published: February 2020

Teza/cel artykułu – artykuł przypomina okoliczności historyczne, w których Związek Bibliotekarzy Polskich wstępował w 1928 r. do IFLA. Opisany jest udział polskich bibliotekarzy w pracach tej organizacji, przede wszystkim w jej dorocznych sesjach, a również w dwóch podkomisjach IFLA. Metody – podstawowym źródłem było wydawnictwo IFLA: Actes du Comité international des bibliothèques, wykorzystano również polskie publikacje źródłowe i dokumentacyjne. Wyniki/wnioski – Polska wcześnie wstąpiła do IFLA zyskując przez to możliwość śledzenia najnowszych tendencji w bibliotekarstwie światowym, a niektóre z nich wprowadzając w życie. Wkład merytoryczny w prace IFLA nie był znaczący – polskie bibliotekarstwo organizowało się wtedy po okresie zaborów i nie zdołało wyłonić jeszcze ośrodków myśli bibliotekarskiej.
Hantbuch far Bibliotekn – podręcznik dla bibliotek żydowskich z okresu międzywojennego
Authors: Biesaga Monika
Published: February 2020

Teza/cel artykułu – W artykule omówiony został prawdopodobnie jedyny podręcznik dla bibliotek żydowskich, który został opublikowany w międzywojennej Polsce. Hantbuch far bibliotekn (pol. Podręcznik dla bibliotek) został napisany w języku jidysz przez I. Rauchfleischa oraz dr. L. Weissa i wydany przez Towarzystwo Kursów Wieczorowych dla Robotników (TKWdR) w 1929 r. w Warszawie. W zamyśle autorów przeznaczony miał być dla żydowskich bibliotek robotniczych. Metody badań – W artykule dokonano analizy zawartości podręcznika, przedstawiając pokrótce treść każdego rozdziału. Wyniki i wnioski – Przeprowadzona analiza treści podręcznika pozwoliła stwierdzić, że wprawdzie była to publikacja przeznaczona dla bibliotek robotniczych, ale służyć mogła również jako poradnik dla każdego typu biblioteki, gdyż zawiera wiele ogólnych wskazówek i informacji, a także obszerny aneks z gotowymi wzorami dokumentów.

Co mogą zaoferować cyfrowej humanistyce biblioteki i ośrodki informacji?
Authors: Kamińska Anna
Published: February 2020

CEL/TEZA: Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników badań dotyczących usług oferowanych przez biblioteki i ośrodki informacji dla cyfrowej humanistyki.KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Termin „usługa” został zdefiniowany jako pomoc oferowana cyfrowym humanistom przy realizacji ich badań oraz projektów. Usługi zidentyfikowano na podstawie wyselekcjonowanych abstraktów referatów wygłoszonych podczas międzynarodowej konferencji „Digital Humanities” w 2016 r. w Krakowie. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Wśród zidentyfikowanych możliwych do zaproponowania lub już proponowanych usług znalazły się usługi z zakresu udostępniania cyfrowych dokumentów oraz metadanych dokumentów, tworzenia archiwów i repozytoriów cyfrowych oraz innych systemów informacyjnych, tworzenia ontologii i taksonomii oraz pomoc przy prowadzeniu kursów cyfrowej humanistyki dla studentów i naukowców. Zwrócono uwagę na problem interoperacyjności cyfrowych narzędzi, takich jak biblioteki cyfrowe czy bibliograficzne bazy danych, oferowanych przez pracowników informacji z aplikacjami spoza środowiska bibliotekarskiego, długoterminowej archiwizacji zasobów cyfrowych oraz na konieczność posiadania przez pracowników informacji wiedzy dziedzinowej z obszaru nauk humanistycznych. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Identyfikacja i opis usług dla humanistyki cyfrowej przyniesie specjalistom informacji cenną wiedzę na temat nowych perspektyw dla ich zadań zawodowych oraz możliwości rozwoju ich miejsc pracy – bibliotek i ośrodków informacji. Uzyskane wyniki mogą być szczególnie ważne właśnie dla bibliotek, które w czasach zmieniającej się roli biblioteki poszukują nowych zadań i obszarów działania. Warto też zauważyć, że w Polsce humanistyka cyfrowa rozwija się dosyć intensywnie od kilku lat, co może stanowić dobry moment na włączenie się bibliotek i ośrodków informacji w rozwój tego nowego nurtu w naukach humanistycznych.
Smart City Research and Library and Information Science. Preliminary Remarks
Authors: Luterek Mariusz
Published: February 2020

PURPOSE/THESIS: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the smart city research field from the point of view of library and information science (LIS), based on available scholarly publications. APPROACH/METHODS: Based on the literature review, the following issues have been described: the smart city concept; the shift of smart cities from strictly technological orientation to that focused on the citizen, the role of smart governance, public libraries as a part of knowledge infrastructure and the current contribution of LIS to this research field.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Smart cities are still an emerging research domain. Not only the number of research publications is limited, but also their scope. LIS has been very little involved in a “smart city” research domain so far, and at the same time general literature on “smart cities” refers to public libraries in a very limited way. In general, there have been few attempts to relate information science and smart cities so far, and in each case researchers had problems with finding relevant literature. The most important LIS contribution to the field so far comes from the research project done by the team of experts from the Department of Information Science at Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf (Germany).ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The value of this research results from the fact, that there is very little in-depth, holistic research done in this domain by LIS researchers; hence there is almost no recognition of the role of public libraries in so-called smart cities, not only as knowledge hubs for explicit and tacit knowledge, but also as community building institutions. This paper offers first such attempt in the field.

English is language that is spoken widely around the world. One of example where English is widely spoken around the country is in Singapore. Not only this country, the neighborhood country such Malaysia has more people who can speak English fluently. For both countries, English is official and second language. While the other neighborhood country such Indonesia uses English less frequently than the national language, Bahasa Indonesia. English is still a foreign language for Indonesian. By looking at this phenomenon, people in our neighboring countries such Singapore and Malaysia use English for their daily conversation. When they want to go to Indonesia, especially to the nearest island from both countries; that is Batam island, sometimes they face that some people in Batam cannot communicate well using English. It happens when they go to some urban areas such as Batu Aji in Batam city. The team of lecturer conducts an activity to the people from an urban area in Batu Aji to be given a community service to teach team how to speak better daily English conversation. The activity is started by training the people vocabulary through the flash card activity. From this activity, people from Griya Batu Aji resident show a good enthusiasm to join the activity to train them better in speaking. This activity is a continuous activity where the team reports the first phase progress of the activity only in this article.

KAJIAN SATYA LAKSANA BIMA TERHADAP GURU DRONA MASIH RELEVAN SEBAGAI NILAI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM CERITA WAYANG LAKON DEWA RUCI
Authors: Surija I Wayan
Published: February 2020

Peneliti ini membahas mengenai nilai-nilai pendidikan satya terhadap Bima dimana pada karakter Bima di dalam pewayangan Mahabharata lakon dewa ruci. Tema ini diambil karena ketertarikan pada tokoh Bima dalam pewayangan Mahabharata. Di balik sosok yang angkuh keras dan arongan Bima memiliki hati yang baik, perwira, penegak kebenaran, jujur, ketulusan bakti kepada guru, sradha atau keyankinan, moral yang baik dan mental yang kuat. Sifat-sifat ini terdapat pada jiwa Bima dimana sifat ini bisa menjadi hal yang sangat relevan pada masa sekarang dalam dunia pendidikan. Dalam aspek kejujuran Bima sangat mempunyai hati yang jujur kepada siapapun dalam masanya Bima menuntut ilmu pada gurunya Drona dan dia pun sangat jujur kepada gurunya.Dari Aspek ketulusan, Bima sangat tulus menerima apa yang ditugaskan pada gurunya demi dia menunjukan rasa bakti kepada guru yang ada dalam catur guru bakti kepada guru pengajian. Aspek mental sangatkah penting dalma suatu pendidikan, dimana mental yang kuat akan membuat suatu keberhasilan dalam suatu tugas apapun. Dalam aspek moral suatu aspek yang tak kalah pentingnya dimana moral adalah bagian daripada etika dan sopan santun serta disiplin dalam menempuh suatu pendidikan. Nilai-nilai ini lah ynag perlu kita contoh untuk generasi muda dalam menempuh pendidikan sekarang ini, dimana di jaman sekarang ini rendah nilai mental, moral, kejujuran, ketulusan dan sradha. Ketika Bima di perintahkan oleh gurunya Drona untuk mencari tirta amertha kamandalu di tengah laut, Bima memegang sifat yang ada dalam dirinya yaitu tulus, mental, moral, jujur, sradha atau keyakinan. Hal ini Bima pegang teguh demi suatu keberhasilan dalam suatu ujian dari gurunya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kajian pustaka dengan menggunakan metode studi dokumen atau kepustakaan. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan nilai karakter pada bima di dalam cerita pewayangan mahabharata lakon dewa ruci. Peneliti menemukan bahwa sosok yang keras tidak menjadi sebuah jaminan orang yang keras itu memiliki karakter yang tidak baik seperti kejujuran mental yang kuat, moral yang berertikan, sradha atau keyakinan yang kuat dan rasa yang tulus ikhlas patut di contoh oleh generasi masa kini.
ROMAN COIN FINDS FROM VOLHYNIA: MAIN CATEGORIES AND DISTRIBUTION FEATURES (to the problem of regional study)
Authors: Myzgin K. V.
Published: February 2020

The article is an experience of regional study of Roman coins finds on the territory of Eastern Europe. The basic information about them was collected and published in the middle of the 20th century. However, today this source base has significantly expanded. Basically, due to the use of metal detectors during archaeological research and, unfortunately, for illegal purposes (such finds are called «less reliable», their use is obligatory, however, provided a critical approach to information). Analysis of the main categories of Roman coins finds in the region made it possible to distinguish features in their distribution. Basically, Volhynia are is outside the concentration of the main categories of finds of Roman coins in Eastern Barbaricum: Roman republican coins, 1—2nd c. AD denarii, 1—3rd c. AD aurei, 2—3rd AD bronze provincial coins, antoniniani and bronze and silver emissions of 4th c. AD. Nevertheless, the concentration of the 4th c. AD Roman gold medallions is associated with this region (in article published a new find of such coin), which indicates here the existence of the centre of the barbarous elite. In general, the numismatic material of the Volhynia region is typical for the territory of the right bank of Dnieper. At the same time, do not forget that Volhynia, like all territory of Eastern Barbaricum, in Roman period was part of the German cultural circle, in which Roman coins were universal.
KILNS OF THE WESTERN AND EASTERN REGIONS OF THE CHERNYAKHIV CULTURE: NEW MATERIALS TO THE ORGANIZATION OF POTTERY PRODUCTION
Authors: Schultze E. , Lyubichev M. V.
Published: February 2020

The aim of this paper was to compare the pottery kilns of the Chernyakhiv culture in two disparate regions for evaluating the organization in pottery manufacturing based on the kilns, their construction and material. Today 11 sites in the western region and 5 sites in the eastern region are known each with one or several kilns. The kilns can be divided in type 1—6 after Bobrinskiy (or the variant A—C after Henning). On the current state of research type 2 seems to prevail in the western region, type 3 in the eastern region. As an example for new investigations the kilns found in Voitenki (Kharkiv county) are presented in detail.

Furthermore structures / constructions around the kilns were considered to find evidences for the existence of workshops. In both regions under discussion such remains has been observed rarely (Komariv, Voitenki). Concerning the question, if pottery was produced seasonally or all-the-year, remains of repairs in the kilns were taken into account in both regions (Lepesovka, Voitenki). Another point was the position of the kilns within the settlements. In the western region they were situated at the border of the settlement or even apart them. In the eastern region they were found in several parts of the settlement, in Voitenki in a special part, where evidences of technical works and craft activities are concentrated. After all it seems that in both regions of the Chernyakhiv culture the organization of pottery production worked on a similar economic level, but with local modifications in every settlement.
CHILDREN CEMETERY OF 11th—12th c. AT THE PODIL DISTRICT OF KYIV
Authors: Kozak O. D.
Published: February 2020

In the cities of the Middle Ages children was the most sensitive group of people who responded to starvation, infection and social stress with high mortality rate and increased morbidity.

7 children’s burials (one belongs to twins of 6—9 month), located relatively compact on the outskirts of the lower city, were investigated in this project. Most children died at the age between 1 month and 3 years old. They have vestiges of metabolic disorders (scurvy, rickets and anemia) and infectious diseases (tuberculosis, nonspecific meningitis) on the bones. In one case, differential diagnosis was performed between congenital syphilis and rickets. Both diseases rarely happened in ancient Kiev.

The pathological profile virtually repeats the pattern of morbidity in adolescents and young women buried in the marginal cemeteries of Podil. Regarding, studied complex can be considered a children’s quarter on the territory of some burial ground of the period.

On the other hand, the similarity of the symptoms in most children, as well as two children (possibly twins) in one coffin indicates that at least part of them could die during one of the epidemics that took place in Kiev during the 11th—12th centuries which were obviously the most active on Podil.
ON THE PROBLEM OF WOMEN STATUS IN THE CULTURE OF KAZAKHSTAN POPULATION OF THE SAKA AGE (According to Materials from East Aral Sea Region)
Authors: Bazarbayeva G. I. , Jumabekova G. S.
Published: February 2020

Materials from the Early Iron Age cemeteries of the Southern Tagisken (VII—V centuries BC) and Uygarak (VI—VI centuries BC), studied by the Khorezm archaeological and ethnographic expedition under the direction of S. P. Tolstov in the early 1960s, are a source for the analysis.

Materials of the sixteen mounds of South Tagisken and twenty-two of Uygarak are analyzed in the article. More than half of the mounds of South Tagisken and Uygarak have a diameter of up to 20 m. The head of the deceased is predominantly oriented to the west. Dromos was recorded only in two South Tagisken mounds and not recorded in Uygarak. Burials at the level of the ancient horizon in South Tagisken were recorded once, while in Uygarak they were recorded four times. A very small number of sacrificial animal parts in the graves of South Tagisken and Uygarak draws attention.

An analysis of the South Tagisken and Uygarak subject complex shows that the women graves had products made of metal, bone, and stone. Among such products are: elements of horse equipment, knives, mirrors, altars, jewelry, mirrors, distaff. Weapons are rarely found in women burials of South Tagisken and Uygarak.

Probably the functions of the woman were only restricted to housekeeping in the culture of the population that left the South Tagisken and Uygarak cemeteries. Women also served as servants of the cults, which is reflected in the presence of traces of red paint found on pestles, altars, pistils, as well as on tools and devices made of bone.
THE ARMAMENT FROM THE SVITLOVODSK CEMETERY
Authors: Mogylov O. D.
Published: February 2020

The weapon is one of the most representative categories of material culture of the Scythians, entering the «Scythian triad». Armaments are massive material in the graves of not only Scythian nobles, but also ordinary people. It is widely represented in the Svitlovodsk burial ground in the south of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe, where it was recorded in 75 tombs (46.6 % of their total number). As a rule, a larger set of weapons is characteristic of richer graves. More often it was revealed in male graves. But sometimes in women. Sometimes there is a weapon in the graves of children and adolescents. The monument was investigated in 1975—1990. N. M. Boky and I. A. Kozyr. Most often, arrows are found in the graves of the necropolis: 707 objects, originate from 73 burials (more than 45 %). The earliest products belong to the Middle Scythian time, and most of them date from the IV century BC. Spears and darts were found in 13 graves (8 %). This burial of wealthy fellow warriors. Swords are rare, they were only in 3 graves. The armament complex of the Svitlovodsk repository in Central Ukraine shows us the military equipment of an ordinary Scythian community. Despite the poor status of the departed, the level of militarization was high.
THE NOMARCHES BOTHER ME…
Authors: Murzin V. Yu.
Published: February 2020

This article is a kind of response to the work of T. M. Kuznetsova, in which she argues that a reliable indicator of the burials of Scythian «kings» and nomarhs is the presence of bronze boilers in the grave goods.

We are still confident that quite definitely we can select from the total mass of Scythian burials only the tombs of the supreme «kings» of Scythia (and not so much by the presence of boilers, but by other signs) and the burials of ordinary Scythians.

It is impossible to isolate the burials of the Scythian «younger kings» and nomarchs from a significant array of funerary monuments of the highest Scythian aristocracy, including by the presence of boilers.

This is explained by the fact that the social and property status of the nomarchs, depending on the number of soldiers in his nome, as well as the nobility of this unit of the Scythian horde, were very different. All the foregoing applies to younger kings as well. Moreover, the nomarch, who was at the head of one of the nomes (tribes) of the Scythians-royals, could surpass the «younger king», who led the least privileged wing («kingdom») of the Scythian nomadic community.

And if we consider that the highest Scythian aristocracy could include military leaders, who became famous not for their nobility, but for military victories, as well as assistants to the supreme king (in the current language — advisors), who had management experience, and others whose functions we can only guess, the picture that emerges is quite variegated, so we hardly ever succeed to understand it, due to the limitedness of our knowledge.
SCYTHIAN AMAZON BURIAL IN CHERKASY REGION
Authors: Fialko O. Ye. , Neroda V. V.
Published: February 2020

The burial complex of an armed woman was investigated in 1988 on the outskirts of the town Gorodyshche in Cherkasy region. The design of the burial complex combines features characteristic of both nomadic Scythians and the local forest-steppe population. The funeral inventory of the deceased is made up of objects typical of the Scythians: meat food on a wooden plate, two spears, a set of 11 arrows with bronze arrowheads; a bone cheek-piece and jewelery — gold earrings, a pendant and neck hryvnia tips. By all indications (a specially erected kurhan, the powerful wooden construction, the size and interior of the grave, decorations made of precious metal), the buried woman belonged to a small group of commanders or leaders of a certain fighting unit of the Scythians.

It is possible that this Amazon could lead one of the Scythian squads that controlled certain sections of land communications through which trade flows took place. She could also lead a militarized unit of mercenaries who served the local aristocracy. In any case, she was buried as a Scythian warrior.

This complex replenishes a small series of 27 graves of the Amazons in the forest-steppe Dnieper region and dates from the first half of the 4th century BC.
FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THE CENTER OF METALWORKING IN NORTH PONTIC REGION IN THE EARLY IRON AGE
Authors: Olgovskyi S. Yа.
Published: February 2020

The paper is attempt to identify the hotbed of metalworking in the Northern Black Sea region in the 6th—5th centuries BC. At the same time, an explanation is given that the hotbed of metalworking should be understood not as a complex of specialized metal-working centers, but as a region of similar production with uniform typological, chemical and metallurgical characteristics, and unified production technology. Contrary to outdated claims, the level of foundry in the forest-steppe Scythian centers in the archaic time was incomparably higher than in the Greek colonies, and it was the local craftsmen who provided the population of the Northern Black Sea region with products made of non-ferrous metals. Many craftsmen worked in the off-premise way, that is, they led a mobile (wandering) lifestyle, extending their activities to the Greek colonies. Some alloys, with an admixture of antimony and arsenic in particular, indicate the links of the foundry workers to the mines of the Volga region and the Urals. However, it is not possible to speak of metal coming from there directly into the Greek colonies. There were no trade routes from Olbia to the eastern regions, since no Greek thing is known on any of the monuments of the Ananian culture. On the contrary, Scythian ornaments and weapons are quite common. Therefore, it was through the Scythian merchants and metallurgists that the metal with an admixture of antimony entered the Northern Black Sea region and the Greek colonies in particular.
Recovery time from severe acute malnutrition and associated factors among under-5 children in Yekatit 12 Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Adimasu Mekonen , Sebsibie Girum , Abebe Fikrtemariam , Baye Getaneh , Abere Kerebih
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVES: Recovery time from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is often a neglected topic despite its clinical impact. Although a few studies have examined nutritional recovery time, the length of hospitalization in those studies varied greatly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the recovery time from SAM and to identify predictors of length of hospitalization among under-5 children.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 423 under-5 children with SAM who had been admitted to Yekatit 12 Hospital. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate time to nutritional recovery, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors.RESULTS: The nutritional recovery rate was 81.3%, and the median recovery time was 15.00 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.61 to 16.39). Age, daily weight gain per kilogram of body weight, vaccination status, and the existence of at least 1 comorbidity (e.g., pneumonia, stunting, shock, and deworming) were found to be significant independent predictors of nutritional recovery time. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for nutritional recovery decreased by 1.9% for every 1-month increase in child age (aHR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97 to 0.99).CONCLUSIONS: The overall nutritional recovery time in this study was within the Sphere standards. However, approximately 13.0% of children stayed in the hospital for more than 28.00 days, which is an unacceptably large proportion. Daily weight gain of ≥8 g/kg, full vaccination, and deworming with albendazole or mebendazole reduced nutritional recovery time. Conversely, older age, pneumonia, stunting, and shock increased nutritional recovery time.

Günümüz teknoloji dünyasında sınırların ortadan kalktığı, herkesin her yerde kolayca bilgiye ulaştığı ve bilgi ürettiği bir çağda, internet ve sosyal medyanın yeri her geçen gün daha da tartışılmaya ve konuşulmaya başlanmıştır. 2010 yılının sonlarında Tunus’ta patlak veren ve kısa sürede tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan halk ayaklanmaları birden fazla ülkede değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Bugüne kadar söz konusu isyanlarla ilgili yapılan çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu ise meydana gelen bu değişimleri sosyal medya endeksli ele almıştır.
Genelde Arap Halk İsyanları özelde ise Mısır isyanları üzerinden yapılan çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu Mısır’da yaşananları “devrim” bu “devrimi” yapan asıl unsurun ise “sosyal medya” olduğunu belirtmektedirler. Nitekim yakın tarihte Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da yaşanan isyanlarda sosyal medya ve internetin etkisi yadsınamaz. Ancak buna rağmen Arap Halk İsyanları’nda sosyal medyanın oynadığı rol günlük hayatta herhangi bir ihtiyacımızı karşılamak için kullandığımız sıradan bir araçtan fazlası değildir.

As propriedades produtoras de leite podem dispor os dejetos de três formas: propriedades sem estrumeira, propriedades com estrumeira fechada e sem cobertura e propriedades com estrumeira fechada e coberta. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo fazer a avaliação da qualidade da água em locais próximos às estrumeiras em propriedades produtoras de leite do Vale do Taquari/RS. Foram analisados parâmetros físicos e químicos: pH, oxigênio dissolvido, nitrogênio amoniacal total, temperatura, turbidez, cor verdadeira, sólidos totais dissolvidos e ferro, e parâmetros microbiológicos: coliformes totais, termotolerantes e Escherichia coli através da metodologia do Standart methods. Foi realizado um comparativo dos pontos a montante e a jusante às estrumeiras, além da verificação de diferenças nos níveis desses parâmetros em período quente (verão) e frio (inverno), meses de janeiro e junho, respectivamente, além de compara-los aos níveis estabelecidos pela Resolução CONAMA nº 357/2005 dispõe sobre a classificação dos corpos d`água e estabelece os limites dos parâmetros físicos, químicos e biológicos. Os resultados mostram que as análises dos parâmetros físicos, químicos e microbiológicos dos pontos montante e jusante das propriedades não demostraram diferenças estatísticas significativas. Além disso, os períodos frio e quente (janeiro e junho), também não alteram os níveis da maioria dos parâmetros. Os parâmetros físicos e químicos: pH, temperatura e coliformes termotolerantes tiveram diferenças significativas nos períodos analisados, ocorrendo uma diminuição de seus níveis no mês de junho. Os parâmetros: oxigênio dissolvido, pH, sólidos totais dissolvidos e nitrogênio amoniacal total encontram-se dentro dos limites estabelecidos pela Resolução CONAMA nº 357/2005 para todas as classes. Os níveis de ferro, encontram-se enquadrados em classe 3 para a maioria das amostras. Ferro e turbidez possuem amostras com níveis acima do estabelecido para todas as classes. A cor se encontra com níveis para a classe 2, já os parâmetros microbiológicos, coliformes termotolerantes e E. coli ficaram dentro do estabelecido para classes 3 ou 4 na maior parte das amostras. Pode-se concluir que a qualidade da água se encontra comprometida.

Smartphones provide users much more than a mobile phone. For this reason, smartphones have become very important in our lives. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of smartphone addiction on loneliness levels and academic achievement of Z generation high school students. In 2018-2019 academic year’ spring semester, 490 high school students voluntarily participated to this study. As well as demographic information, Smartphone Addiction Scale and UCLA Loneliness Scale were used. In the analyses of the obtained data, IBM SPSS Statistics 24 was used. The relationship between variables was analyzed using Pearson's Correlation analysis. To determine the effect of smartphone addiction on high school students’ loneliness and academic achievements, linear regression analysis was used. A positive relationship between Z generation high school students' smartphone addiction and right of monthly GB usage for smartphone, daily internet usage duration, and loneliness levels was determined, whereas there was a negative correlation between their academic achievements. Moreover, it was found that smartphone addiction of Z generation high school students predicted their loneliness and academic achievement at the level of ~4% and ~1%, respectively. These results show that high school students should be saved from smartphone addiction. Thus, loneliness levels can be reduced and academic achievement can be increased.

What is the best electoral system to increase the number of political parties represented in Parliament? This article answers the question using data from all the elections in Macedonia since 2002, and by making simulations of the results according to different electoral systems. In principle, we found that the electoral model that would bring most parties to the Macedonian Parliament is the Droop and Hare used in one electoral district. Moreover, the article answers the question how favourable different electoral systems are to larger/smaller parties. We find that the following is the order of electoral systems from most to least favourable for larger parties: Imperiali highest averages, D’Hondt, Sainte-Laguë, Largest remainders – Imperiali, Danish, Largest remainders – Droop, Largest remainders – Hare.

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) including total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are performed for patients with primary osteoarthritis (OA). Also, there are patients who undergo TJA for management of inflammatory arthritis (IA), including patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Spondyloarthritis (SPA) including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the current knowledge about the risk of complications after TJA in patients with IA and perioperative management of antirheumatic drugs.

THA and TKA are orthopedic surgeries that help patients with arthritis restore function, mobility and reduce pain. Patients with inflammatory arthritis have systemic disorders that cause a high rate of complications associated with the surgery.

Patients with inflammatory arthritis, including RA, SPA, and SLE who need TJA have a higher risk of developing complications compared to patients with OA.

Information about cardiovascular risk factors and other comorbidities is important to better control and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.

Published: December 2024

Purpose

The purpose of this work was to experimentally quantify MR‐compatible ionization chamber response for 1.5T Elekta Unity and 0.35T ViewRay MRIdian MR‐linac systems through the determination of the magnetic field quality conversion factor, kB,Q.

Methods

Seven MR‐compatible ionization chamber models from Standard Imaging and PTW were evaluated. Both the quality conversion factor kQ and the magnetic field quality conversion factor kB,Q were experimentally determined through a cross‐calibration method. Specifically, the ratio of absorbed dose measured with a reference A1SL chamber under reference conditions to corrected output measured with each test chamber at the same point of measurement allowed for the determination of kB,Q. The angular dependence of the magnetic field quality conversion factor for MR‐compatible chamber models was assessed for the 1.5T Elekta Unity system by measuring kB,Q with the chamber axis and magnetic field direction aligned at cardinal angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).

Results

Beam quality conversion (kQ) factors for MR‐compatible ionization chambers measured in a standard linac beam showed an average percent difference of −0.09 ± 0.18% compared to computed kQ values for their conventional chamber versions. Similarly, magnetic field quality conversion (kB,Q) factors for corresponding MR and non‐MR ionization chamber models measured using the same cross‐calibration technique demonstrated average percent differences of −0.1 ± 0.3% and 0.0 ± 0.2% for the Elekta Unity and ViewRay MRIdian, respectively. Investigation of the angular dependence of this correction factor demonstrated identical chamber response for equivalent MR‐compatible and conventional chamber models.

Conclusions

This work provides critical experimental validation of MR‐compatible ionization chamber performance, with a direct comparison of measured kB,Q values to corresponding conventional chamber models demonstrating nearly equivalent chamber response. kB,Q values determined using our experimental method will serve as an important reference for upcoming MR‐linac reference dosimetry protocols and ultimately represent an important step towards accurate output calibration of MR‐linac systems.
