Published: December 2018

هدف البحث  قياس اثر السياسة النقدية في الاستقرار السعري في العراق بتناول مرحلتين مهمتين من المراحل التي مر بها الاقتصاد العراقي، اتسمت المرحلة الاولى بهيمنة السياسة المالية على السياسة النقدية من خلال سياسة النقد الرخيص الامر الذي ادى الى ارتفاع معدلات التضخم في الاقتصاد العراقي وكذلك الى تدهور سعر الصرف للدينار العراقي ، اما المرحلة الثانية فقد اتسمت بحصول البنك المركزي على الاستقلالية الكاملة تشريعياً مما فسح المجال امامه في رسم وتطبيق سياسته النقدية بحرية كاملة الامر الذي ادى الى السيطرة بشكل نسبي على معدلات التضخم ، وتم الاعتماد في قياس اثر السياسة النقدية على  اختبار العلاقة السببية  بين عرض النقد وبين معدل التضخم وسعر الصرف الموازي  ، لأثبات أن التضخم هو ظاهرة نقدية في الاقتصاد العراقي وان سعر الصرف هو المتحكم بعرض النقد مما جعل عرض النقد يصبح متغيرا داخليا تابعا  ، وتم التوصل من خلال الاختبارات القياسية الى وجود تكامل مشترك وحيد بين عرض النقد ومعدل التضخم وبين عرض النقد وسعر الصرف الموازي مما يؤكد وجود علاقة طويلة الاجل بين المتغيرات ، كما اكدت  نتائج اختبار نموذج متجهات تصحيح الخطأ (VECM) وجود علاقة سببية طويلة الاجل وباتجاه واحد من عرض النقد الى معدل التضخم ، وهو ما يؤكد أن التضخم في الاقتصاد العراقي ظاهرة نقدية وان التوسعات في عرض النقد قد اضرت بالاستقرار الاقتصادي  ، وايضاً وجود علاقة سببية طويلة الاجل وباتجاه واحد من سعر الصرف الموازي الى عرض النقد ، الامر الذي يشير الى اثر سعر الصرف على عرض النقد ومن ثم الاستقرار الاقتصادي في العراق ، مما يدل على استخدام قناة سعر الصرف وبشكل اساسي من قبل السياسة النقدية لنقل الاثر النقدي الى النشاط الاقتصادي .

Wikipedia supplements library resources with timely, useful information; acts as a tool for librarians answering reference questions; provides a pathway to primary and secondary sources and citations. Wikipedia helps library clients perform research; and provides a vital platform for recording local knowledge. Public libraries can expose both their staff and patrons to more complex and sophisticated strategies for dealing with the changing digital landscape. Wikipedia has the potential to point clients to libraries, where resources in their areas of interest can be found. Wikipedia-library engagement connects Wikipedia with the important role libraries play in bridging inequalities in access to information.

Authors: Stepanov Vadim

What is qualimetry? May we measure quality in points?
Authors: Sukiasyan Eduard
Published: December 2018

We are introducing the “Model standard of the public library”, where I once read that "scores can be expressed from zero to ten". Is it worth talking about quality in general, if we allow that one of the indicators can be zero? The evaluation of quality is the subject of the study of science, which is called qualimetry The one of founders of qualimetry was G. Azgaldov. However, there are still a lot of people willing to write about the evaluation of quality so that not a word to say about qualimetry. They did not read the books of Azgaldov, and some even dispense with the term qualimetry. Without knowing the qualimetry, we make an obvious methodological error in the assessment of quality. What can be done with digital indicators "from zero to ten"? It's obvious: fold it! You can also divide the amount obtained by the number of indicators: you get a certain "average"... with "zero" quality for one indicator. The quality of the "individual indicator" does not compensate for the lack of quality in another indicator. Too much quality in one does not cover shortcomings in the other: quality in quantitative terms is not summarized. Each indicator should be expressed in the form of a decimal fraction, with the norm (the standard of quality) being the score of 1. The cumulative quality of the object is expressed by multiplying the indicators. There can not be at least one indicator equal to zero (multiplying any integer by zero yields zero). Even if at least one indicator from many equals 0.1 or 0.2, the cumulative index falls so low that it makes us ashamed to talk about any quality! Another interesting and very important regularity for us is connected with the number of parameters for which an estimate is made - as the number of parameters increases, the quality assurance problems increase dramatically. Thus, a conditionally "permissible" cumulative estimate of 0.7 with a number of indicators equal to 7 can be obtained only if each of them is not lower than 0.9. It is necessary to think whether it is worthwhile to express an abstract "score" on the evaluation of the quality of work, which in one case "pulls" for two thousand hours, and in another characterizes the work of the library for many years?

Corporate libraries: The right to life
Authors: Paramonova I. E.
Published: December 2018

The richness of the term “library” is revealed: from the common meaning (a depositary, collection of books and other publications) to that of the library science object (an institution, social institution). The attempt is made to identify whether corporate book collections make a document array, internal book collection, or a library. The case study of the “Laboratory of urban planning” Company (St. Petersburg) is offered. The main stages of the Company’s library development and vectors of work are discussed. Other corporate libraries’ experience is examined. The common features of the corporate and special, e.g. sci-tech, libraries, that satisfy information needs and demands in professional sphere, are revealed.

The author also attempts to apply Yury Stoyarov’s four-component library model to the corporate library phenomenon. She speculates on whether the library core features are applicable to a corporate library – namely, collection purpose, document array orderliness, librarian supply. The differences between the traditional concept of a library and a library as a live selforganizing system are revealed. The need to include corporate libraries into the library science subject scope and therefore to expand social influence of librarians is emphasized.

Published: December 2018

The review of the monograph by Yury Nikolaevich Stolyarov (The origins of the book culture [Istoki knizhno kultury] / Yu. N. Stolyarov; Ed. By V. Ya. Rushanin, Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture. - Chelyabinsk: ChGIK, 2017. - 500 p.) reveals the contribution of Yury Stolyarov into the documentological knowledge. His book is unique due to the scale of presented empirical material and the depth of investigation of the origins of the written culture, namely, the myths, tales, folk stories and songs, epos and religious beliefs. Consistent and appropriate application of the research tools of sociocommunicative, system and culturological approaches enriches significantly the methodology of documentology, contributes to the bibliological knowledge and facilitates further understanding of the book, document and spiritual culture of the humankind. Yu. Stolyarov innovatively reveals the specific features of each of the book culture origins through the rise and development of the document monument system elements, i.e. semantive, signitive, synactive, temporal, pragmative, material and structural. The reviewer substantiates that Yury Stolyarov’s theoretical generalizations based on the study of unprecedentally large-scale empirical material and the deep chronology of book culture origins make this publication by Yury Stolyarov the fundamental, encyclopedic work.
Breaking Dormancy and Effects of Shade Level and NPK Fertilizer Rates on Yield of Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith (Lempoyang)
Authors: Goh Suzanne , Lee Abdullah Thohirah , Hassan Siti Aishah , Stanslas Johnson
Published: December 2018

Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith, known as Lempoyang in Malaysia, belongs to the family Zingiberaceae. Previous studies on Lempoyang mainly focused on the chemical properties and biological activities of the rhizome extracts of this plant. Despite the tremendous demand for the rhizomes of Z. zerumbet, there is a lack of information on cultivation practices and a scarcity of planting materials. By using the pre-soaked technique, the challenges posed by Z. zerumbet dormancy can be overcome, obtaining good quality and uniform planting material throughout the year. Besides that, it is also crucial to determine the optimum shade level and NPK fertilizer rates to obtain a high yield and good quality rhizomes of Lempoyang. Six concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP, 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L) and ethephon (0, 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 mg/L) were tested to evaluate their effects on breaking rhizome dormancy. Three different shade levels (full sun, 30%, and 50% shade levels) and four combinations of Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) (NPK) fertilizer at different rates were evaluated to study their effects on plant growth and yield performance. The results showed that BAP at 100 mg/L and ethephon at 300 mg/L performed better than the other compound concentrations tested in promoting the breaking of bud dormancy. A significant interaction effect was observed between shade levels and NPK fertilizer rates in all the growth parameters examined, except for the number of tillers per plant. Plants grown under 30% shade with NPK 4 produced the highest rhizome fresh weight, dry weight, and yield, but plants grown under 50% shade with NPK 4 showed the highest plant height and number of tillers per plant.
A SWAT Evaluation of the Effects of Climate Change on Renewable Water Resources in Salt Lake Sub-Basin, Iran
Authors: Khalilian Sadegh , Shahvari Negar
Published: December 2018

Future climate change is projected to have significant impacts on water resources availability in many parts of the world. This research evaluated climate change impacts on runoff, aquifer infiltration, renewable water resources, and drought intensity in Salt Lake sub-basin, Iran, by the Soil and Water assessment tool (SWAT) model and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) under A1B, A2, and B1 climatic scenarios for 2011–2030, 2046–2065, and 2080–2099, using 1986–2016 as the reference period. The model was calibrated and validated by the SWAT-CUP software and SUFI-2 algorithm. Nash–Sutcliffe (NS) coefficients (0.58 and 0.49) and the determination coefficients (R2) (0.65 and 0.50) were obtained for the calibration and validation periods, respectively. In order to study the climatic condition in the study basin, drought intensity was calculated. Then, drought intensity was predicted using the SPI index for the period 2011–2030. The results showed that runoff, infiltration, as well as renewable water resources will decrease under all climatic scenarios. Renewable water resources will be approximately reduced 100 Mm3 by the year 2100. The future projections suggest a regional increase of 2 °C in temperature and a 20% decrease in precipitation in the sub-basin. In particular, drought intensity will be increased in the future. In 2015, this index was −1.31, and in 2016, the SPI index was lower than −2. These projection scenarios should be of interest to water resources managers in tropical regions.
New Insights into the Potential of Endogenous Redox Systems in Wheat Bread Dough

Published: December 2018

Various redox compounds are known to influence the structure of the gluten network in bread dough, and hence its strength. The cereal thioredoxin system (NTS), composed of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR) and thioredoxin (Trx), is a major reducing enzymatic system that is involved in seed formation and germination. NTS is a particularly interesting tool for food processing due to its heat stability and its broad range of protein substrates. We show here that barley NTS is capable of remodeling the gluten network and weakening bread dough. Furthermore, functional wheat Trx that is present in the dough can be recruited by the addition of recombinant barley NTR, resulting in dough weakening. These results confirm the potential of NTS, especially NTR, as a useful tool in baking for weakening strong doughs, or in flat product baking.
An Improved Skewness Decision Tree SVM Algorithm for the Classification of Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Defects
Authors: Mao Qinghua , Ma Hongwei , Zhang Xuhui , Zhang Guangming
Published: December 2018

Skewness Decision Tree Support Vector Machine (SDTSVM) algorithm is widely known as a supervised learning model for multi-class classification problems. However, the classification accuracy of the SDTSVM algorithm depends on the perfect selection of its parameters and the classification order. Therefore, an improved SDTSVM (ISDTSVM) algorithm is proposed in order to improve the classification accuracy of steel cord conveyor belt defects. In the proposed model, the classification order is determined by the sum of the Euclidean distances between multi-class sample centers and the parameters are optimized by the inertia weight Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness of the ISDTSVM algorithm with different feature space, experiments were conducted on multiple UCI (University of California Irvine) data sets and steel cord conveyor belt defects using the proposed ISDTSVM algorithm and the conventional SDTSVM algorithm respectively. The average classification accuracies of five-fold cross-validation were obtained, based on two kinds of kernel functions respectively. For the Vowel, Zoo, and Wine data sets of the UCI data sets, as well as the steel cord conveyor belt defects, the ISDTSVM algorithm improved the classification accuracy by 3%, 3%, 1% and 4% respectively, compared to the SDTSVM algorithm. The classification accuracy of the radial basis function kernel were higher than the polynomial kernel. The results indicated that the proposed ISDTSVM algorithm improved the classification accuracy significantly, compared to the conventional SDTSVM algorithm.

Published: December 2018

The objective of this research is to evaluate the pavement performance degradation of nano-TiO2/CaCO3 and basalt fiber composite modified asphalt mixtures under freeze‒thaw cycles. The freeze‒thaw resistance of composite modified asphalt mixture was studied by measuring the mesoscopic void volume, stability, indirect tensile stiffness modulus, splitting strength, uniaxial compression static, and dynamic creep rate. The equal-pitch gray prediction model GM (1, 3) was also established to predict the pavement performance of the asphalt mixture. It was concluded that the high- and low-temperature performance and water stability of nano-TiO2/CaCO3 and basalt fiber composite modified asphalt mixture were better than those of an ordinary asphalt mixture before and after freeze‒thaw cycles. The test results of uniaxial compressive static and dynamic creep after freeze‒thaw cycles showed that the high-temperature stability of the nano-TiO2/CaCO3 and basalt fiber composite modified asphalt mixture after freeze‒thaw was obviously improved compared with an ordinary asphalt mixture.
