Authors: H. A Arundathi. , Kukanur F Sneha , V. N Venkatesh , maiya B C Ganesh
Published: July 2023

Background: Medical microbiology is a subject studied in 2nd year of MBBS. The knowledge and application of the subject plays a major role in diagnosis and clinical management of infectious diseases. The clinical posting also starts in the same year and students start to apply what is taught in the subject clinically. Hence, an attempt is made to know how students perceive the subject in terms of its clinical importance, understanding of the subject and methods they prefer for better understanding and application. The st Materials And Method: udy was conducted on all 150 2nd year MBBS medical students of our college(Karwar Institute Of Medical Sciences) ,who completed their microbiology syllabus. Informed consent was obtained by all the students where, only 130 gave the consent and participated in the study. A structured questionnaire with 17 questions was shared as Google form. The students were asked to answer it and the results were analysed Result: Response of the students was positive to questions regarding understanding the subject, planning of the classes, record material, intergartion of subjects and staff efforts. In teaching methodologies, Case based learning(CBL) was preffered the most followed by lecture sessions. In lecture, 47.5% have preffered chalk and talk against only 11.7% prefferance to power point presentation. Most have preffered showing videos, culture and biochemical reactions whenever possible in practical sessions.54.2% of them have opined that the subject has helped them in clinical posings and 99.2% of them have agreed that knowledge of microbiology is very important to become a good clinician . Conclusion: With change in time, there is a need to know how student perceive our subject and methodology of teaching. Though the clinical importance of the subject is well appreciated and majority of them have a positive response to the methods followed, there is always a chance to improve. Methods like case based learning, case videos are the most sorted ones with still preferrance to chalk and board teaching in diadactic lectures. In a medical college where time is largely invested on teaching students, understanding their prefferances, and modifying accordingly is essential time and again.

Educating a new generation of library and information science professionals: a United States perspectiv
Authors: Matusiak Krystyna K. , Stansbury Mary , Barczyk Ewa
Published: July 2023

This article examines the U.S. model of library and information science (LIS) education in light of the changes brought about by information and communication technology. The accepted model of professional preparation in the United States has emphasized graduate education on a Master’s level from LIS programs accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). The authors trace the historical development of this approach and provide an overview of the ALA accreditation process. Furthermore, they examine the strategies of LIS programs in adjusting to the changing information environment, present the debate about the iSchool movement and discuss the evolution of the core curriculum. In addition, the article explores the relationship between LIS education and the field of practice and presents a practitioner’s perspective on educating library professionals. The authors conclude that the model of advanced professional preparation for librarianship is still relevant in the digital environment, but it requires greater flexibility and close cooperation with the field of practice.
Perception of librarians on the use of mobile technologies in meeting information needs of university library patrons
Authors: Nwachukwu Victor N. , Obaseki Tony I.
Published: July 2023

Objective – This paper is an in-depth analysis of the theoretical view of librarians with regard to the use of new technologies (such as mobile technologies) for service rendering in libraries in the era of information age and globalization. It also posits that libraries and librarians in the developing states have a lot to contribute to the socio-economic and infrastructural development of their states. Research method – The paper refers to the changes in the types of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) available in libraries, and asserts that there is a gradual technological advancement from visible to invisible, and from unmovable to moveable ICTs. Mobile technologies e.g. iPads, iPods, iPhones, the paper stated have become a part of ordinary life and their common use is overshadowing the existence of computer desktops, and laptops. Mobile technology use is increasing as not only the literate academics use mobile technologies, but also the literate artisans use it for online social networking. The trend this paper asserts is in both societies of the developed and developing states, but buttresses that mobile technologies are judiciously used for information transactions and access to information store-houses in developed states. Thus, the call for librarians to rise up to the task by using mobile technologies for information transaction. Problems of inadequate technical skills, limited bandwidth subscriptions, shortage of technical manpower in libraries, dearth in collaboration, nonchallant attitude of librarians towards novel innovations in libraries, inadequate library marketing programme, under development of library internal online network etc, are mitigation towards the use of mobile technologies in library service rendering. Results and conclusions – The paper stats that collaboration between libraries in the form of an exchange programme between library professionals in developed and developing states, adequate funding of libraries and librarians training, adequate marketing of library facilities and services, and increase lobbying of government by library heads for better packages for libraries are steps towards ameliorating the problems identified in this paper.

Wykorzystanie danych z serwisów społecznościowych LibraryThing, Goodreads i Anobii w badaniach naukowych w latach 2006-2019
Authors: Góralska Małgorzata
Published: July 2023

Teza – Narzędzia teleinformatyczne umożliwiły powstanie takich charakterystycznych miejsc współdzielenia doświadczeń lekturowych w sieci, jakimi są serwisy społecznościowe dla czytelników. Witryny tego typu służą integracji i wymianie informacji o książkach, ale stają się również ważnym źródłem danych o współczesnych praktykach i zachowaniach czytelniczych. Cel – Celem przeprowadzonego badania było określenie stopnia zainteresowania serwisami społecznościowymi dla czytelników w środowiskach naukowych oraz wskazanie, jakie ich elementy są najczęściej wykorzystywane jako materiał źródłowy. Metody badawcze – Na potrzeby badania została opracowana bazazawierająca artykuły z Web of Science oraz Scopus (opublikowane w latach 2007-2019), w których występowały serwisy: LibraryThing, Goodreads i Anobii. Zgromadzone danezostały przebadane w wykorzystaniem elementów analizy bibliometrycznej. Wyniki/wnioski – Wyniki badania wykazały wzrost liczby opracowań, których autorzy podejmowali problematykę portali czytelniczych lub korzystali z ich zasobów do badań. Najwięcej tego typu prac ukazało się w czasopismach z zakresu informatyki oraz informacji naukowej i bibliotekoznawstwa. W odniesieniu do tematyki poszczególnych artykułów dostrzeżono zmniejszające się zainteresowanie problematyką folksonomii i dynamicznie rosnącą liczbę opracowań dotyczących systemów rekomendacji. Materiałem źródłowym wykorzystywanym w badaniach często były tagi i recenzje, ale brano również pod uwagę inne elementy serwisów (dane o użytkownikach i ich wypowiedzi, półki z książkami, oceny tytułów itp.). Do ekstrakcji danych ogólnie częściej był wykorzystywany serwis LibraryThing, chociaż Goodreads miał trzy razy więcej wskazań w artykułach z ostatniego przeanalizowanego roku.

Authors: ANH KIEU KIM
Published: July 2023

Goal/thesis – to overview the development of school libraries in Vietnam, thereby drawing out the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges they face. Methodology – critical literature review and content analysis of source materials. Findings – revealed there are the disadvantages of school libraries in Vietnam including shortcomings with the lack of materials, poor infrastructure, the inefficient capacity of the school librarian, and the limited budget. The reasons for these problems are due to the misperception of administrators, policymakers, and society regarding the libraries’ role in the educational activities of schools; the library operating hours are not optimal; the low percentage of students reading books and newspapers (especially printed documents); the small library space; oftentimes the capacity of the librarians is poor, and, most of all, there is not enough budget allocated to libraries. Conclusions – recommendations are made toward improving school libraries in Vietnam.

Authors: NAHOTKO MAREK
Published: July 2023

Teza/cel artykułu – Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie aktualnego stanu stosowania nawigacji fasetowej w polskich bibliotekach naukowych. Dokonano porównania zastosowania faset w OPAC tych bibliotek oraz w bibliotekach cyfrowych organizowanych lub współorganizowanych przez te biblioteki. Metody badań – Dokonano analizy zawartości stron internetowych bibliotek, głównie ich narzędzi wyszukiwawczych: OPAC i multiwyszukiwarek (discovery systems). Uwzględniono biblioteki największych, państwowych szkół wyższych oraz Bibliotekę Narodową. Po odnalezieniu narzędzia nawigacji fasetowej dokonywano analizy ilościowej i jakościowej stosowanych faset. Następnie podobna analiza prowadzona była w stosunku do bibliotek cyfrowych, organizowanych lub współorganizowanych przez analizowane biblioteki. Wyniki – Ponad 60% polskich bibliotek naukowych stosuje fasety w swoich narzędziach wyszukiwawczych. Wśród nich najwięcej jest bibliotek uniwersyteckich (78% przebadanych bibliotek), wychowania fizycznego (67%), ekonomicznych (60%) i technicznych (56%). Średnia liczba faset stosowanych w OPAC wynosi 8,7. Nieco mniej faset stosowanych jest w bibliotekach cyfrowych, średnio 8,66. Do najczęściej stosowanych faset należały takie, jak Forma/Typ, Język, Data wydania, Autor/Twórca. Wnioski – Fasety są rozpowszechnionym narzędziem wyszukiwawczym w bibliotekach polskich szkół wyższych. Stosowane są zarówno w ILS (Integrated Library System) zagranicznych, jak i w polskich. Pod względem liczby i rodzaju faset pomiędzy OPAC i bibliotekami cyfrowymi zachodzą bardzo niewielkie różnice, stąd wniosek, że stosowany schemat metadanych ma na to bardzo niewielki wpływ.

Authors: George Bakari , Zemba Janeth , Sewando Ponsian
Published: July 2023

Malnutrition not only hinders development but also indicates that the basic physiological needs of individuals have not been adequately met. This study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of the under-five population among the local community in the Arumeru district. The study's specific goals were to analyse under-five food usage at the household level, examine food intake frequency, and calculate the dietary diversity score among the sampled population. The study was conducted in the Arusha region, whereby a sample size of 382 households was selected from the study area. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that children under the age of five in the study area experience both micro and macronutrient deficiencies, indicating a state of food nutrition insecurity. Results also showed that more than 50% of the sampled under five scored less than the WHO’s recommended Household Dietary Diversity score which is 33.3%. However, 54.8% of 62 sampled under five children were underweight (<18.5). Moreover, 46% of the households (HH) had less than four meals for under five per day. The most consumed food group by the under-five was cereal, especially maize which is converted into Ugali and porridge, meat, vegetables, and milk which are most of the time shared with the adults with an average of 8,000 Kcal to 10,000 Kcal per day per head. Based on the results, the paper concludes that children under the age of five in the study area are still facing issues related to overweight and improper feeding practices. Therefore, the paper recommends extension officers (food nutritionists and development partners) to continue changing the mindset of household members through in-house training, which will capacitate the communities in preparing types of food for those under five using their own local resources and food available in their respective surroundings.
Impact of Tokenisation on Economics Demographics and Economics of Selected Crowdfunding Investments
Authors: Pirgmann Michael
Published: July 2023

The text analyzed data from two German crowdfunding investments issued by one initiator in the real estate industry, involving a total of 1,692 investors. One fund has a classical investment structure while the initiator used an innovative approach with a tokenised investment product based on the Ethereum blockchain technology in the second one. This paper tries to find the impact on the demographics of the funds and the profitabi lity for the initiator when making a structural change from a classical investment with a minimum investment size of EUR 1,000 to a tokenised investment structure with a mini mum investment of EUR 1. The results show no impact from tokenisation on the structure of the investors´ gender and only minor impact on the age of the investors. But the findings highlight that lowering the minimum investment to EUR 1 via tokenisation to attract more investors, diminishes the profit margin for the initiator substantially. Because every inves tor comes at an acquisition cost, only a certain number of loss-making small investments in relation to profitable high investments can be compensated. Since it is not possible to precisely determine the density distribution of investment sizes in advance to placing a new investment, it is recommended to give up the minimum investment size of EUR 1 to avoid the risk of attracting too many investors at a deficit, hence diminishing the profit margin of the funds.

There is an aggravation of the problem of attracting skilled labor to enterprises, which will be an obstacle to the post-war recovery of many regions of Ukraine. Therefore, a national target program for providing the economy with highly skilled workers should be developed and implemented.

Polygamy is considered both in developing and developed countries as a determinant of child schooling performance. Empirical findings from developed countries consistently confirm that the trade-off between reduced parental involvement and education exerts negative pressure on academic performance. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of parental involvement in polygamous families on the academic performance of public primary pupils in the Township Ward of Turkana Central Sub County. The study was anchored on Structural Functionalism Theory because of its explicit exposure to how family socialization as a basic social unit builds on the well-being of the future of the individuals in society. The study adopted mixed methods research design. The target population was 42763 comprising 21374 primary school pupils, their 21374 parents, and 15 head teachers in the Township Ward of Turkana Central Sub County. The researcher adopted a purposive sampling technique in selecting the pupils and the head teachers who participated in the study. Quantitative data was collected using close-ended questionnaires from pupils and polygamous parents while qualitative data was collected from the headteachers using interview schedules. Quantitative data analysis techniques included percentages and mean. Study findings were presented using frequency distribution tables. Qualitative data was analyzed through categorical themes. The study revealed that reduced parental involvement affects negatively the academic performance of pupils in Turkana. The study also revealed that the percentage of educated mothers and fathers from polygamous families is as low consequently leading to a low parental involvement in the child’s academic work. In light of the findings, the study proposed recommendations to various stakeholders to formulate policies that will ensure local leaders unite and launch a robust community sensitization campaign on the importance of parental involvement in the studies of their children.

Authors: LAM THINH DO HUYNH
Published: July 2023

This study investigates the impact of three factors in brand equity including (1) brand awareness, (2) perceived quality, and (3) brand association on the customer loyalty of the alcoholic beverage in Vietnam market. It can be seen that beer can be considered an important industry in every country which attracts several customers. Since the attractiveness and development of the market, there are more and more organizations in the competitive market leading to several options for customers, which will decline customer loyalty to the brands. Therefore, this research argues the expected positive impact of brand equity (i.e., brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality) on customer loyalty. Hypotheses are tested with survey data from 210 participants who drank beer in Vietnam. The results of this study suggest that all the elements of brand equity have a positive influence on customer loyalty. Besides that, perceived quality can be considered as the most impactful factor on customer satisfaction and when the customer is satisfied with the products, they will become more loyal. Overall, the contribution of this research is to help beer organizations find out the important factors that can enhance the brand loyalty

The research data collection technique was documentation of KAK, a certificate template, and a lecture journal. BIPA learning was explored through in-depth interviews covering preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Since 2006, it has had planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising learning as KEPDIRJENPENDIS Number 6244 of 2019. It emphasizes listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills using direct methods. Cultural insight emphasizes local wisdom; and Islamic insight emphasizes morality and Islamic celebrations (sekaten, Eid homecoming, and isra' mi'raj). Issues that should be concerned with it, namely: (a). the language matriculation implementation cannot be carried out on time because it has to align with existing lectures in the faculty environment of each foreign student; (b) the documentation of BIPA learning archives by BIPA organizers has not been organized as institutional archiving requirements; (c). The availability of educational buildings is still limited, so the availability of classrooms is also limited; (d). BIPA organizers have not been optimal in managing the test question bank, so it has the impression that they are only repeating existing questions without updating them. BIPA organizers do not yet have assessment standards set as a permanent reference in providing evaluations to foreign students.

Authors: Qiu Yingying , Li Jiayun
Published: July 2023

Based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the paper conducts a critical contrastive analysis of the reports related to George Floyd’s death in China Daily and The New York Times to reveal the hidden positions and ideologies of the Chinese and American media. It is found that at the description stage, China Daily objectively presents the main participants and holds a critical attitude towards the violent law enforcement, while The New York Times portrays George Floyd and the protesters as negative images and affirms the actions of the US police. In the interpretation level, specified sources and direct speeches are used more frequently in both media reports. But China Daily had a wide range of news sources, and a higher percentage of direct speeches than The New York Times. Regarding explanation, social factors and institutional factors contribute to the similarities and differences in constructing images of key players in the two media.
