Published: May 2023

Cilj. Cilj je ovoga rada razmotriti pojam i percepciju digitalne transformacije na primjeru Knjižnice i čitaonice Bogdana Ogrizovića u Zagrebu koja predstavlja jedno od ključnih žarišta društveno-kulturnog života grada Zagreba.
Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. U radu su predstavljeni rezultati istraživanja provedenog kvantitativnom istraživačkom metodom uz pomoć ankete na prigodnom uzorku ispitanika.
Rezultati. Provedenim istraživanjem potvrđena je postavljena hipoteza da korisnici uočavaju promjene u uslugama i fondu knjižnice uzrokovane primjenom informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije koja je jedna od manifestacija i alata digitalne transformacije s obzirom na poslovanje knjižnice i rad s korisnicima. Istražili smo i percepciju korisnika o samoj knjižnici. Više od polovice ispitanika odgovorilo da knjižnicu u kojoj je provedeno istraživanje percipira podjednako kao građu, prostor i uslugu. Ako se tri kategorije pojedinačno promotre, ispitanici knjižnicu najviše percipiraju kroz građu koju nudi, potom nešto manje kao prostor, a najmanje kao uslugu. Knjižnicu bliske budućnosti korisnici vide kao ustanovu koja pruža kombiniranu uslugu: u digitalnom i analognom formatu, što ukazuje na uravnotežen pristup razvoju knjižnica i ukazuje na to da digitalna sfera neće ukinuti analognu, barem ne u bliskoj budućnosti. Od knjižničara se također očekuju ne samo znanja struke nego i komunikacijske i informatička znanja. Sveukupno, ispitanici su svjesni postojećih promjena u knjižnici, ali od nje očekuju dodatne promjene, nove sadržaje i usluge u digitalnoj sferi rada.
Ograničenja. Rezultati istraživanja ograničeni su brojem ispitanika i uzorkom te ne mogu biti poopćeni na cjelokupnu populaciju korisnika usluga sustava Knjižnica Grada Zagreba (u sklopu koje djeluje i Knjižnica i čitaonica Bogdana Ogrizovića). Unatoč toj činjenici, rezultati istraživanja važan su indikator promjena u narodnim knjižnicama pod utjecajem informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije, o čemu je potrebno provoditi kontinuirana istraživanja.
Praktična primjena. Rezultate istraživanja moguće je primijeniti pri izradi strateških i operativnih (godišnjih) planova rada narodne knjižnice u kojoj je provedeno istraživanje, ali i u drugim narodnim knjižnicama.
Društveni značaj. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja pružaju uvid u rad jedne od najpopularnijih narodnih knjižnica u Zagrebu, čime se pridonosi boljem poznavanju rada narodnih knjižnica i njihovoj većoj vidljivosti u društvu.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad donosi izvorne rezultate istraživanja korisnika narodne knjižnice u razdoblju velikih ekonomskih i društvenih promjena u kojem knjižnice sudjeluju (digitalnom) transformacijom svojih usluga, čime nastoje privući nove korisnike, u prvom redu mlađe generacije koje su sve više usmjerene digitalnim medijima na internetu.

Current progress in the development of information technology, makes every government agency or private organization, must be able to balance and develop capabilities in terms of data and information management. Komnas HAM is one of the government agencies, which is directly related to the provision of public information to the public, requiring an information system for the process of providing this information flow. The public is allowed to submit requests for data, such as data on complaints of cases that have occurred, for which information is needed. Currently the process of requesting data is still being carried out by the public coming directly to fill out the data request form, then it will be processed by the relevant section at Komnas HAM, after the data request is approved, the requested complaint data document will be sent via POS. This system still has weaknesses, because the applicant's side cannot monitor the progress of the data application process whether it is approved or not, the applicant is only asked to wait and if the document is sent by post, the application is approved. This Web-Based Smartmaps Complaint Data Application Information System can be a solution, to facilitate the process of requesting data requested by the public. This system was designed by applying the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method in the system design stage, and the system will be built using the programming language PHP 7.3, MySQL 5.7, Nginx and PHP-FPM 7.4, Laravel 7 Framework and Bootstrap Template Design 4.0. This system, after testing using blackbox testing in its application, is proven to have provided convenience and the best service to people who have an interest in complaint data.

The face is an important part of a person's characteristics that can be recognized by their differences from one another. In image processing, extracting features from faces is the most crucial thing, because features such as the eyes, nose, mouth and human face are very complex to be recognized by a computer. One of them is how the computer can recognize faces and see them like human eyes. Feature extraction is needed in image processing so that the computer can recognize and differentiate facial objects. This cascade is a method used to detect objects and the algorithm has a high degree of accuracy. This method is considered fast and robust for face detection. From the results of the implementation of facial feature extraction using Cascade Detector, it can be concluded that the feature extraction results for the detection of the face and nose produce an accuracy of 85.2% while for the detection of the right eye, left eye and mouth produce an accuracy of 81.9%, which means this level of accuracy smaller than face and nose detection. For the average accuracy value of each extraction of facial features, right eye, left eye, nose and mouth, that is equal to 83.22%. With an error of about 3% because there are detected animal faces. For Animal Nose 1% is detectable

Productivity of the Syniukha variety alfalfa grass stands of the fourth and fifth years of growing in conditions of the northern Podillia
Authors: Kvasnitska L. , Voitova H.
Published: May 2023

Purpose. To evaluate the productivity of feed grass stands of the Sinyuha variety alfalfa according to yield indicators, quality and nutritional value of green mass harvested in the phases of budding and flowering to establish their value for the use in livestock industry in conditions of northern Podillia. Methods. Field experiment (visual and phenological observations of the growth and development of alfalfa plants), calculation, thermostatic, mathematical-statistical. Results. The studies were carried out in the field experiment of the Khmelnytskyi state agricultural research station of the Institute of Feed Research and Agriculture of Podillya of NAAS during 2019-2020 on podzolized medium loam black soil. The optimal phase of mowing alfalfa in the feed grass stands of the fourth-fifth years of life was determined. It is the budding phase, in which the feed productivity of the crop increased: the yield of green mass in the sum of four mowings, which was 2.5 t/ha or 5% higher. Despite a slight difference in dry matter content, its total yield was practically equal to that of the flowering phase. The studied phases of mowing had an impact on the feed productivity of alfalfa. It has been established that, in terms of quality and nutritional value of the leaf-stem mass, a greater accumulation of nutrients occurred during the mowing of alfalfa in the budding phase, when the gross yield of the sum of cuttings was: feed units – 8.78 t, crude protein – 2.39 t, gross energy – 151.52 GJ and exchange energy – 92.12 GJ. Conclusions. To ensure high yields and good feeding qualities of the Sinyukha variety alfalfa grass stands of the fourth-fifth years of cultivation in conditions of northern Podillia, mowing in the budding phase should be applied, what will contribute to the increase in the total yield of green mass with a slight difference in the total dry matter yield and increase in gross yield: feed units, crude protein, gross and metabolizable energy relative to the flowering phase.
Feed productivity of the biomass of spring triticale and common vetch companion sowings depending on the elements of cultivation technology
Authors: Demidas Р. , Veiler S.
Published: May 2023

Purpose. To determine the productivity indicators of spring triticale and common vetch in singlespecies and companion sowings depending on the ratio of components and fertilizers. Methods. Field, laboratory, mathematical and statistical. Results. The results on the study of productivity, recoupment of fertilizers and specific features of the feed biomass growth in cultivation of spring triticale and common vetch in single-species and companion crops depending on the ratio of components on the Forest Steppe black soils, conducted annually during 2020-2022, are shown. Conclusions. In the companion cultivation of spring triticale and common vetch on different fertilization backgrounds, the productivity of the fodder agrocenosis increases from 5.15-6.44 to 5.29-6.87 t/ha of dry mass, which is 1-6% more compared to single-species sowings of spring triticale and by 9-26% compared to single-species common vetch sowings. The use of Humigran organic fertilizer increases the feed productivity of single-species crops of spring triticale and common vetch by 13 and 7% respectively, of binary grass mixtures with different ratios of these crops – by 3-11%, and when applying N45P45K45 mineral fertilizers – by 21, 11 and 23-24% respectively. The profitability of 1 kg of Humigran was 1.4-3.3 kg, and 1 kg of N45P45K45 showed the lowest indicators on single-species sowing of vetch – 4.1-9.4 kg of dry mass. The most influential factor in terms of yield from 1 ha of dry matter is the herbage factor with a 54% share. On the background without fertilizers, for 50 days, starting from May 10, during spring triticale yield formation, the output of dry feed biomass from 1 ha increased from 0.87 to 5.20 t (in the milk ripeness phase it decreased to 5.06 t), in common vetch and triticale-vetch mixture with a 25:75 ratio of components – from 0.64 to 4.86 and from 0.89 to 5.57 t/ha, respectively.

Finnish Translation of the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire | Perthin Aleksitymian Kyselylomakeen Suomenkielinen Käännös
Authors: Sikka Pilleriin , Tuominen Jarno , Valli Katja , Preece David
Published: May 2023

This is the Finnish version of the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ). Aleksitymia on moniulotteinen ilmiö, joka koostuu kolmesta osatekijästä: vaikeus tunnistaa tunteita (difficulty identifying feelings, DIF), vaikeus kuvailla tunteita (difficulty describing feelings, DDF); ja ulospäin suuntautunut ajattelutyyli (externally orientated thinking style, EOT), jossa ihminen pyrkii olemaan kohdistamatta huomiota tunteisiinsa. Toisin sanoen ihmisillä, joilla on korkea aleksitymia, on vaikeuksia kohdistaa huomiota tunnetiloihinsa (EOT) ja arvioida tarkasti, mitä kyseiset tilat ovat (DIF, DDF) (Preece jm, 2017; Sifneos, 1973). Aleksitymian tarkkaavaisuus-arviointimallin määrittelyn mukaan (Preece ym., 2017) ihmisten yleinen aleksitymiataso heijastaa heidän tunnemalliensa (eli kognitiivisten rakenteiden, joita käytetään tulkitsemaan tunnetietoa) kehitystasoa ja sitä, missä määrin he välttävät keskittymistä tunnetiloihinsa. On olemassa hyviä todisteita siitä, että aleksitymia on suhteellisen vakaa piirre, vaikka sen taso voi silti vaihdella ajan myötä, esimerkiksi silloin, kun ihmiset kokevat lisääntynyttä ahdistusta tai vastauksena kohdennettuun hoitoon (esim. Luminet ym, 2001). PAQ (Preece jm, 2018) on 24-kohtainen aleksitymian itsearviointiväline. Se on suunniteltu käytettäväksi aikuisille ja nuorille. PAQ on suunniteltu arvioimaan kaikkia aleksitymian osatekijöitä sekä negatiivisten että positiivisten tunteiden kautta. Testistä voidaan johtaa viisi osa-asteikkopistemäärää ja kuusi yhdistelmäpistemäärää (kukin lueteltu alla olevassa taulukossa), ja korkeammat pistemäärät osoittavat korkeampaa aleksitymian tasoa. Käytännössä useimmiten käytetään ja raportoidaan 5 osa-asteikon pistemäärää ja yhdistelmäpistemäärää, koska kyseisessä yhdistelmässä kattavuus ja lyhyys ovat hyvin tasapainossa, mikä sopii useimpiin tutkimus- ja kliinisiin tarkoituksiin.
HOW INDUSTRIALIZATION BECAME THE CORE OF RAÚL PREBISCH'S THOUGHT
Authors: Calcagno Adriana
Published: May 2023

This paper focuses on the intellectual path through which Raúl Prebisch placed industrialization at the center of his economic thought and policy recommendations. It shows how the changing international context of the 1930s and 1940s made him depart from laissez-faire and adopt counter-cyclical policies, gradually abandoning the agrarian export-led growth model and finally embracing industrialization as the new growth strategy for Argentina and Latin America.

Published: May 2023

This text reviews the Russian translation of Maciej Gorny’s book The Great War of Professors. Humanities. 1912–1923. After recollecting the main theses of the work, the review raises a question about the extent to which the extra-scientific knowledge (political, ideological, nationalistic) influences scientific knowledge and whether this influence can be eliminated. Both the book and some current developments lead the review’s author toward rather disappointing conclusions.
A Narrative Inquiry into Communication Professionals’ Competencies in Nepal’s Development Workplaces
Authors: Gnawali Prashant
Published: May 2023

Communication professionals in development organizations are regarded as the voice of the organization they represent. As such, it’s important that these professionals be competent at what they do. Currently, the discourse on the competencies of Nepal-based development organizations is rich and vibrant as many research endeavors and reports cover their successes and achievements every year. However, there’s little to no literature for communication professionals who ‘voice’ the very same development organizations. This narrative inquiry sheds light on how communication professionals self-assess their competencies. The outcome of this study’s exploration led to a common narrative shared by the research participants. The narrative showed Nepal’s development organization’s communication professionals holding themselves to a very high competency standard and striving to meet and exceed those standards in each responsibility they fulfilled for their organizations. This strongly implies further research is vitally necessary on Nepali communication professionals.

Authors: Gautam Shreedhar
Published: May 2023

This paper introduces three writers Chinua Achebe, Ngugi Wa Thiong’o and Richard Wright to explore the socio political consciousness reflected in their select works. The first two writers come from African countries which have gone through the experience of colonialism and neo-colonialism that resulted in common social, political and economic problems. As a result, the literature that emerged from these countries has a unifying theme despite diverse sociological contexts. Richard Wright, with an African origin, is a prominent black writer from America. It is evident from wright’s writings that he writes with a political consciousness born out of his understanding of Marxism. These three writer of twentieth century display their creative talents to raise the consciousness of the suppressed people in their own countries and the world over. An effective presentation of the contemporary social as well as political problem has become the primary task of these writers, and the select works taken here serve as evidences.

Sociopolitical Dimensions of English in Nepal
Authors: Upadhyay Hriseekesh
Published: May 2023

Nepal is an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) country where teaching and learning of English was disallowed under the Ranas for political reason while English took root in the rest of South Asia under the British colonial dispensation for over two centuries. English was adopted as a useful tool to enhance Nepal’s standing and to strengthen its relations with the outside world after the Ranas were removed from ower in 1951. This research paper dwells on how choosing English for use in a nation for education, business and foreign relations constitutes a political act and how Nepal’s political history guided the resistance to use English in the nation and how the changed political scenario pushed the country to adopt teaching and learning of English in a big way. Political thinking even determines how the choice of English is described at the official level to camouflage it as a purely nationalistic invention dubbing it as one of the U.N. languages which Nepal as a member must master to play its role in the world body. This research paper seeks to highlight the context of EFL in Nepal in the past fifty years, describes the modes of teaching and learning of English in the country and tries to demonstrate that English in Nepal does not fall under the nstitutionalized variety of English such as Indian or South Asian English.
Affective Commitment Among University Faculty Members in Nepal: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Authors: Bam Nirajan
Published: May 2023

Although organizational commitment has received a substantial research attention, it has not been well examined in the higher education sector; in particular, the university faculty members’ affective commitment has not been extensively investigated yet. Thus, this study investigated an association between affective commitment and predictors: recognition, resources, training and development, perceived union support and pay satisfaction in the context of higher education system of Nepal. Data were collected through a survey from 312 management faculty members of Nepali universities and analyzed by using structural equation modeling. The findings confirmed that resources, training and development, and recognition were positively related, and perceived union support was negatively associated to affective commitment. Contrary to the expectation, pay satisfaction was not significant. The findings of this study also provide a salient reference background for the university management and policy makers to understand the importance of training and development, reward and compensation, resources, and union activities and their relevance for affective organizational commitment and job performance.
Retelling Fragmented Histories: Partition in Short Stories
Authors: Ara Arzuman
Published: May 2023

Partition of India in 1947 has been one of the major events in the history of South Asia that has played a crucial role in shaping the three nations of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A number of narratives on the background of partition have given rise to the sub-genre of partition narratives in which the authors reflect and reconstruct the pain, suffering, loss and alternative histories of the events of partition. The authors, in their effort, give a voice to the victims and critique the political players. Partition in the Bengal and Assam border is represented in a number of writings. In this article, an attempt is made to give a glimpse of the partition narratives written in Bangla through three short stories from Debes Ray’s Raktamanir Haare [In the Garland of Blood Beads] published by Sahitya Akademy. The stories are the poignant snapshots of the events of partition in the Bengal border. The stories show the life of suffering of people caused by partition and also upheld the resilient spirit of life.

Abstract in Hindi Language:

कवि अपने व्यक्तित्व से ही अपना पहचान बनाता हैं, जिसमें उसका व्यक्तित्व एवं कृतित्व ही साक्षी है। कवि रघुवीर सहाय ऐसे ही व्यक्तित्व के धनी थे, उनके व्यक्तित्व में दया, परोपकार पर पीड़ा में हाथ बटाने की क्षमता व ईमानदारी कुट-कुट के भरी हुई थी, कहने की आवष्यकता नहीं कवि रघुवीर का व्यक्तित्व समुद्र की भांति  अथाह एवं उसमें उठने वाली लहरों के समान तरंगित उद्धेलित था। डॉ. शोभा साहेब राव राणे कहती है कि -‘‘रघुवीर सहाय मिलनसार व्यक्तित्व के धनी थे; इसी कारण उनके मित्र परिवार की संख्या निरन्तर बढ़ती गई।’’ संक्षेपतः रघुवीर प्रतिभा सम्पन्न कवि होने एवं उनके द्वारा किया गया कृत्तित्व उसका प्रमाण है, उनका व्यक्तित्व आर्य समाज के प्रभावों एवं कंाग्रेसी विचारधारा से प्रभावित था।
