Published: October 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis Rekrutmen calon Anggota Dewa Perwakilan rakyat, Permasalahan yang timbul adalah bagaimanakah penataan hukum mekanisme rekruitmen calon anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat yang dengan pendekatan teori hukum dan perbandingan hukum. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan rekruitmen calon anggota legislatif yang dilakukan oleh partai politik tidak melaksanakan amanat undang undang partai politik, dengan dalil bahwa partai politik  tidak mencantumkan  dalam Anggaran Dasar Anggaran Rumah Tangga (AD/ART) partai politik yakni: mekansime rekrutmen bakal calon anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, adanya ketentun seleksi kaderisasi yang dilaksanakan secara demokrasi, seleksi yang dilakukan secara terbukan, penetapan rekrutmen yang dilakukan oleh pengurus partai politik bahwa Kedaulatan Rakyat atau demokrasi.  Sehigga mekanisme rekrutmen calon anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat cenderung tidak aspiratif. Sebagai perbandingan di beberapa negara rekrutmen dilakukan dengan berdasar pada konstitusi negara masing-masing  memasukkan unsur  aspek usia, kompetensi akademik, agama, kelompok etnis untuk menjadi calon anggota legislatif. Legal Administration of Mechanism Recruitment of Aspiration People's Representatives This study aims to analyze the recruitment of candidates for the House of Representatives. The problem that arises is how the legal arrangement of the recruitment mechanism for members of the House of representatives with a legal theory and legal comparison approach. The results indicate that the recruitment of legislative candidates conducted by political parties did not carry out the mandate of the Law on Political Party, with the argument that political parties do not include political parties' statutes bylaws, namely: recruitment mechanism for prospective members of the House of Representatives, there are provisions for cadre selection which are carried out democratically, open selection, determination of recruitment carried out by political party management that is People's Sovereignty or democracy. So the mechanism for recruiting candidate tends not to be aspirational. For comparison in several countries recruitment is based on the state constitution by including elements of age, academic competence, religion, ethnic groups to become legislative candidates.
Los requisitos de solvencia técnica-profesional. La experiencia
Authors: Nicolás Lucas Asunción
Published: October 2019

La entrada en vigor de la nueva Ley de Contratos del Sector Público de 2017 ha introducido alguna modificación en el ordenamiento jurídico español, en materia de contratación pública, por exigencias del Derecho comunitario, en aspectos relativos, por ejemplo, a la experiencia exigida a los licitadores como requisito para participar en los procedimientos de licitación. Aspectos que no pueden olvidar que la normativa comunitaria en materia de contratación pública se ha centrado fundamentalmente en las fases de preparación y adjudicación de los contratos públicos con el fin de garantizar los principios de transparencia en los procedimientos de adjudicación, la igualdad entre los licitadores y la apertura a la competencia de los procedimientos de adjudicación, sobre todo cuando los contratos superan determinados umbrales económicos.Una de las anheladas consecuencias de estas últimas modificaciones se centra en la concreción de la competencia, permitiendo que PYMES y empresas de nueva creación accedan con más facilidad a los procedimientos de licitación, rebajando los plazos necesarios para acreditar la experiencia previa, o permitiendo integrar su propia solvencia a través de medios externos a las mismas.Un supuesto especial se plantea, como veremos, en relación con los contratos de prestación de servicios jurídicos, enmarcado en un contexto jurídico que difiere en su regulación respecto a la establecida a nivel comunitario y que plantea problemas específicos para acreditar la solvencia y la experiencia de los posibles prestadores de estos servicios.

Modelling the Hydrolysis of Iron-Sulfur Clusters
Authors: Teixeira Murilo H. , Curtolo Felipe , Camilo Sofia R. G. , Field Martin J. , Zheng Peng , Li Hongbin , Arantes Guilherme M.
Published: October 2019

Iron-sulfur (FeS) clusters are essential metal cofactors involved in a wide variety of biological functions. Their catalytic efficiency, biosynthesis and regulation depend on FeS stability in aqueous solution. Here, molecular modelling is used to investigate the hydrolysis of an oxidized (ferric) mononuclear FeS cluster by bare dissociation and water substitution mechanisms in neutral and acidic solution. First, approximate electronic structure descriptions of FeS reactions by density functional theory are validated against high-level wave-function CCSD(T) calculations. Solvation contributions are evaluated by an all-atom model with hybrid quantum chemical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) potentials and enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations. The free energy profile obtained for FeS cluster hydrolysis indicates the hybrid functional M06 together with an implicit solvent correction capture the most important aspects of FeS cluster reactivity in aqueous solution. Then, 20 reaction channels leading to two consecutive Fe--S bond ruptures were explored with this calibrated model. For all protonation states, nucleophilic substitution with concerted bond breaking and forming to iron is the preferred mechanism, both kinetic and thermodynamically. In neutral solution, proton transfer from water to the sulfur leaving group is also concerted. Dissociative reactions show higher barriers and will not be relevant for FeS reactivity when exposed to solvent. These hydrolysis mechanisms may help to explain the stability and catalytic mechanisms of FeS clusters of multiple sizes and proteins

Re- and Cs-copromoted silver catalysts for ethylene epoxidation: A theoretical study
Authors: Salaev M.A. , Salaeva A.A. , Poleschuk O.Kh. , Vodyankina O.V.
Published: October 2019

The effect of Re and Cs co-promotion of Ag catalysts for ethylene epoxidation is studied computationally using density functional theory approach. The models reflecting Re involvement in the form of oxyanion and as a component of Ag—Re alloys are considered. The synergistic effect of Cs and Re is caused by the formation of the CsReOx species, with Cs stabilizing the Re oxyanion to promote ethylene epoxidation over Ag catalysts. The role of Re is proposed to be related to altering the electron density distribution, compensating oxygen vacancies, co­vering non-selective sites, and providing the optimal retention time for initial compounds, pro­ducts, and oxametallacycles on the catalyst surface.
Substituent effect on the acidity strength of para-C6H4XB(OH)2 boronic acid: a theoretical investigation
Authors: Fereidoni S. , Ghiasi R. , Pasdar H. , Mohtat B.
Published: October 2019

The para-substituent effect on the acidity strength of boronic acid (para-C6H4XB(OH)2; X = NMe2, NH2, OMe, H, F, Cl, CHO, COOH, NO2) is explored at the B3LYP*/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory in an aqueous solution. The conductor-like polarized continuum model (CPCM) is used for the calculation in the aqueous phase. The CPCM calculations are performed with the SMD-Coulomb atomic radii. Then, the pKa values corresponding to these molecules are calculated in an aqueous solution. Atomic charges of the acidic proton are calculated with QTAIM, APT, and Mulliken methods. A linear correlation between the calculated pKa values with the Hammett constant, deprotonating energy, and atomic charges of acidic proton are analyzed.

The effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on erythropoiesis in dogs
Authors: Aniołek Olga
Published: October 2019

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on the erythrocytic system in dogs. Dogs with clinical symptoms of hypothyreosis such as obesity, hyperpigmentation, and lethargy were selected. The dogs demonstrating breed predisposition to hypothyreosis were incorporated in the analysis: Dachshunds, Retrievers, and mixed-breed dogs. A detailed history was taken and clinical, hormonal, biochemical and haematological blood tests were performed. Peripheral blood samples were taken from 53 dogs. Finally, the dogs with the initial T4 (thyroxine) concentration < 1.3 µg/dl and animals demonstrating clinical improvement after a 2-month therapy with levothyroxine at a dose of 10 µg/kg administeredper ostwo times a day were qualified. The animals between 10 months to 13 years of age were divided into two groups: clinically healthy (control group, n = 35) and dogs presenting clinical symptoms of hypothyreosis (experimental group, n = 18). In this research, the broadly described normocytic normochromic non-regenerative anaemia was not diagnosed in dogs with hypothyreosis. However, a positive correlation between T4 and red blood cell indices such as the average mass of haemoglobin per red blood cell, concentration of haemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells as well as a negative correlation with haematocrit value was discovered in the experimental group after the 2-month therapy with levothyroxine. These results point to the influence of thyroid hormones on erythropoiesis. This observation is partially consistent with other studies, which noted the casual link between the changes in red blood cell system and the function of thyroid in dogs and humans.

Published: October 2019

Humic substances are currently being considered as a new feed component in replacement of antibiotic growth stimulators to improve growth and health in animals. The aim of our work was to evaluate the effect of the addition of humic substances to the feed at concentrations of 0.8% and 1.0% on the growth parameters, carcass yield, selected blood enzymes, minerals, and the bone quality in broiler chickens. One hundred fifty COBB 500 one-day-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into one control and two experimental groups (n = 50) with three replications (16, 16 and 17 per pen), and fattened for 35 days. The broilers of the experimental groups (H0.8 and H1.0) were fed commercial feed mixtures with added humic substances (at 8 g·kg-1and 10 g·kg-1). The control group was fed a diet without the addition of humic substances. A slight increase in the final body weight and feed conversion ratio was noted in the experimental groups (P> 0.05). Significantly higher yields of breast and thigh meat (P< 0.05) were recorded for the experimental group H1.0. The blood cholesterol level was lower for both experimental groups. A lower concentration of alkaline-phosphatase was observed in group H1.0. A decrease in aspartate aminotransferase and calcium was recorded for group H0.8. A significantly higher content of calcium and lower content of phosphorus was found in the bones of experimental animals. The 1% addition of humic substances had a positive impact on growth parameters (P> 0.05), improved selected blood indices and increased the calcium content in the bones of broilers (P< 0.05).
Identification of tuna species Thunnus albacares and Katsuwonus pelamis in canned products by real-time PCR method
Authors: Krčmář Pavel , Piskatá Zora , Servusová Eliška
Published: October 2019

Tuna species are a popular food among consumers. They are mostly sold as heat-processed canned products on the market. Different quality and price of tuna species can lead the producer to the adulteration of food products. The main difficulties in developing a method for species identification in these fish is the high similarity of DNA sequences among close relative fish species. All complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) were compared to all other mitochondrial DNA sequences of tuna fish deposited in the GenBank. The most variable regions within species were determined and primers and probes were designed in this region for the species-specific DNA amplification of skipjack tuna and yellowfin tuna. Moreover, to check the content of amplifiable DNA of fish (namely tuna) in the sample, primers and a probe of mitochondrial12SrRNAgene in the region of conservative sequence were designed. Real time PCR methods were verified by investigating 51 samples of canned tuna with the declared content of tuna species from the market; the species was confirmed in all tested samples. This method was designed to be suitable for the determination of DNA sequences especially in highly heat treated products.
LAGRANGIAN FORMALISM IN PROBLEMS OF SMALL OSCILLATIONS OF VORTEX FLOWS AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE FOR IDEAL INCOMPRESSIBLE HYDRODYNAMICS OF VORTEX LINES
Authors: Kopiev V.F. , Chernyshev S.A.
Published: October 2019

The paper discusses the description of vortex flows of an ideal incompressible fluid based on the formalism of Lagrangian mechanics. Using the displacement field of liquid particles as a generalized coordinate, we write out the Lagrangian describing the dynamics of small perturbations (Kopiev, Chernyshev, 2018). The corresponding Lagrange equations are the equation for the displacement field (Drazim, Reid, 1981): This equation is equivalent to the Helmholtz equation for vorticity perturbations. The displacement field is defined as the difference in the positions of liquid particles on trajectories in disturbed and undisturbed flows. Although this definition is given in terms of Lagrangian variables associated with liquid particles, the displacement field itself is an Euler variable, expressed through velocity and vorticity perturbations. An example of using Lagrangian to solve the problem of conservation of the quadrupole moment of a vortex flow is considered. Using the Noether theorem, conditions on a stationary flow are obtained, under which the quadrupole moment of small perturbations of this flow is an integral of motion (Kopiev, Chernyshev, 2018). It is shown that these conditions are satisfied for the jet flows uniform along the longitudinal coordinate. The result obtained is important in aeroacoustics due to the fact that the quadrupole moment of the vortex flow represents the main term of the decomposition of a compact acoustic source in Machnumber (Lighthill, 1952; Crow, 1970; Kopiev, Chernyshev, 1995).
The generalization of these results to the nonlinear case is considered. The Lagrangian is obtained for an arbitrary nonlinear displacement field: nowhere Gis Green’s function of the Laplace equation. The corresponding Lagrange equations coincide with the differential equations describing the nonlinear dynamics of the displacement field (Drazin, Reid, 1981). Expansion of the Lagrangian in small perturbations to quadratic terms gives the Lagrangian of the linear system. The question of the relationship of the proposed approach to the description of the dynamics of an incompressible fluid and known approaches based on the formalism of Lagrangian mechanics with the coordinates of liquid particles as generalized coordinates (Chapman, 1978; Goncharov, Pavlov, 2008; Kuznetsov, Ruban, 1998) is considered. It is shown that the transformation of the Lagrangian obtained in (Kuznetsov, Ruban, 1998) to the Lagrangian can be carried out by transforming Lagrangian variables (coordinates of liquid particles) to Eulerian variables (displacement field).
This study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project No. 17-11-01271.
MODEL OF THE INTERACTION OF OXYGEN IONS O+-O+2 WITH DIPOLAZATION FRONTS DURING ELECTROMAGNETIC TURBULENCE IN THE EARTH’S MAGNETOTAIL
Authors: Parkhomenko E.I. , Popov V.Yu. , Malova H.V. , Zelenyi L.M.
Published: October 2019

The paper is devoted to studying processes of plasma particle acceleration in the process of magnetic dipolazations in a current sheet of Earth’s magnetotail. A numerical model is constructed that allows evaluation of oxygen ions O+ – O+2 acceleration in two possible scenarios: (A) Passage of multiple dipolazation fronts; (B) Passage of fronts followed by largescale electromagnetic turbulence. The energy spectra of two types of accelerated particles are obtained: oxygen O+ and O+2. It is shown that, at different time scales, predominant variety acceleration of particle populations occurs in scenarios (A)–(B). Thus the closer the time scale of the field variation to the ions gyroperiod, the more effective is the transfer of energy from fields to particles. Oxygen ions O+2 are accelerated efficiently in multiple dipolazation process (B) and increase energy up to 3 MeV , whereas ions O+ - up to 1.7 МeV. It is shown that accounting for electromagnetic fluctuations, accompanying magnetic dipolazation, may explain the appearance of streams of oxygen ions with energies greater than 3MeV in Earth’s magnetotail.

The Importance of Information Literacy Lesson for Academic Honesty in High Schools
Authors: Yazar Ayşegül Aksaçlıoğlu
Published: October 2019

The new generation students, emerging with the rapidly evolving technology and have different information seeking behaviors showing that the librarians need to revise their services. Students are faced with various difficulties in searching for information and accessing information, because of the rapid increase in number and type of the information sources and lack of information literary skills. Students need to learn research techniques in finding the necessary information through a big ocean of information (published, electronic, audio visual, web, social networks, phone etc.), and writing research papers appropriate for academic honesty and international standards framework. Students need to gain “Information Literacy Skills” to become lifelong individual learners so that they can choose research topic, create a research question properly in line with research objectives, access the different types of information resources, evaluate reliability of resources, select, quote relevant information, synthesize and present.

İhsan Doğramacı Foundation (IDF) Bilkent High School students studying in the National Program should prepare the “performance and project paper” within the scope of the National Ministry of Education regulations. Students studying the International Diploma Program are required to write the “Internal Assessment Studies, Essays, and 4000 word Extended Essay” within the scope of the International Baccaluarate Organization (IBO)  rules.  The role of the informaton literacy skills lessons supported by the teachers is very important.

In this article, experience will be shared by emphasizing the cooperation of teacher and librarian in the process of preparation and presentation of information literacy courses given in IDF Bilkent High School within the scope of national and international programs.
The current situation of secondary school librarians in Bangladesh: A study
Authors: Hossain Zakir
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study is to understand the present status of the secondary school librarians in Bangladesh. In general, it is found that although librarianship is not a new concept in Bangladesh, the development of school libraries and to create qualified school library professionals has been slow due to lack of government initiative. Many schools, where there are libraries and librarians, resources and services are minimal and school librarians are not considered teaching staff.

This study derived significant findings which could be used to understand the reality of secondary school libraries and librarians in Bangladesh. The recommendations could also be used to overcome practical issues which may negatively affect school library development in Bangladesh.
Best IASL Conference 2017 Paper: Preparing Teacher Librarians to Support STEM Education
Authors: Johnston Melissa P.
Published: October 2019

A current focus in schools in the United States is STEM education, which prepares students for successful employment and post-secondary studies that require unique and more-technically advanced skills through teaching and learning in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This approach is grounded in problem solving, discovery, and exploratory learning, which requires students to actively engage in a situation in order to find its solution. Students engage in STEM learning in many different ways, with technology and digital resources playing an important role. The prominence of technology in STEM education provides leadership opportunities for teacher librarians. Yet, teacher librarians must be prepared to lead in the integration of technology to support STEM education. This report presents identified needs of teacher librarians in regards to supporting STEM education and discusses implications for better preparing pre-service teacher librarians to lead in order to address the needs of a new generation of learners.
Nazarbayev Intellectual School Libraries: The Development of Functional Literacy and Reading Skills
Authors: Agadil Aida , Salamakhina Olga , Tubekbayeva Gulmariyam
Published: October 2019

Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools (NIS) are a testing site for piloting innovations in teaching and learning in Kazakhstan’s formal education system. Fostering the development of multicultural, strong-minded students is a key component of an NIS school, and the library certainly plays an important role in the formation and development of students. This article presents the practical knowledge of NIS librarians which was gained through such practices as the use of applied gaming methods to promote reading, the development of information and functional literacy, the development of research skills and the development of functional literacy. School library activities should not have limitations; the school library is a center for reading, creativity and intellectual development. By using new methods, constantly improving and maintaining a friendly atmosphere, the school library will be able to maintain its relevance for students. Additionally, the school librarian will act as a guide for students as they explore the worlds of reading, imagination and academic achievements.
How Junior High School Students Spend Time in a Japanese School Library during Their Lunch Breaks: A Focus on the Role of Bookshelves
Authors: Arai Chizuko
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate, through fieldwork, a school library as a gathering place for Japanese middle school students. We predicted that students would browse alone, silently. The research used cases studies based on a micro-ethnography method taken from observation data. Data were analyzed from three points of view, informal, public, and gathering, which was referred to as “the third place.” Oldenburg (1989), on which the study was based, focused on the role of bookshelves. We determine that bookshelves provide students with the public place open to all. Second, we suggest that bookshelves serve students as an informal place to spend time alone. Finally, while some students enjoy conversations with friends while among the shelves, others avoid interaction by using the shelves as barriers. Therefore, the bookshelves are not always a gathering place for a students.
Promises, Promises? Or Restoration and Renaissance? Fifteen Brutal Years for School Libraries in British Columbia
Authors: Ekdahl Moira
Published: October 2019

British Columbia teachers, through the offices of the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and often through their own time on the picket lines, have fought for fifteen years to get back the negotiated language that contractually defined the working conditions of teachers, including specialist or non- enrolling teachers such as teacher-librarians. This paper documents the struggles that took the case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada where, in November of 2016, in just minutes, the teachers’ rights were affirmed and the BC Liberal government’s actions in stripping the negotiated contract language were determined to be illegal. Staffing lost was to be restored. For teacher-librarians, easily the hardest hit teacher group, the decision seemed to offer a breath-taking relief after years of progressively deeper cuts. At the time of writing, believing in the imminent full restoration of staffing to re-define the work of teacher-librarians and in a glorious re-birth of the place of the school library in public education in BC appears to be unrealistic.

School Library Research in the Real World—What Does it Really Take?
Authors: Stefl-Mabry Joette , Radlick Michael S.
Published: October 2019

School libraries are perceived to have a significant effect on student achievement. The reality is that evidence supporting the effects of school libraries on student achievement remains unconvincing to many serious researchers. In this paper, we provide a systematic review of 25 years of school library research examining student achievement. Results indicate that of over 260 studies, fewer than 27 approach the minimum requirements of research design. The unembellished truth is that most school library studies suffer from limitations of design, measurement, and analysis. To address such limitations, we built multiple statistical models based on six years of school-level data reflecting all public schools in New York State. We highlight key challenges of quantitative research: design, indicators, measurement and analysis approaches as they apply to ours and other school library research and share initial results from our study examining the causal relationships among school librarians, resources, activities and student achievement.

The purpose of this study was to examine the circumstances that prompted the school administrators to construct a new library that included modern library spaces, resources and facilities, to find out the strategies used to build the new library and to determine the perceived effects that the new spaces, resources and facilities have on students’ cognitive and social development. This research took an evaluative case study approach. Purposive sampling was used to select the school principal, the school librarian and eight students. The principal and school librarian were interviewed and open ended interview schedules were administered to the students. The findings revealed that the design of the library, the resources and the facilities had a positive impact on students’ cognitive and social development. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education Youth and Information re-design or construct similar school libraries on a phase basis because of the positive educational impact.
Data Analytics to Improve School Libraries
Authors: Farmer Lesley S. J.
Published: October 2019

To improve programs, school librarians can analyze and apply data. Standards can help with the process, such as California’s model school library standards. To meet those standards, it is important to recognize and focus on variables to improve library programs. Data analytics can help librarians identify which data to collect, how to organize and analyze the data, and make informed recommendations for library improvement. Data analytics based on the California school library survey offer a predictive model for school library program effectiveness. Data analytics based on the American Association of School Librarians survey offers a longitudinal look at school library programs.

Authors: Laney ReAnna
Published: October 2019

Our schools are full of multicultural families, but most popular children and young adult novels are about monocultural teens. As educators, we have a responsibility to be diverse readers -- reading books across genres featuring characters of different ethnicities, nationalities, genders, orientations, religions, and abilities, that also inspire. Yet it is challenging to present books and resources which reflect your readers and encourages them to experience a wider world. This interactive program includes criteria for diverse collections, programming and unit suggestions, and strategies for proposing changes to your curriculum. Learn how to engage your students with recent controversial topics like: whitewashed book covers, gender-flips, and genre-mashing.

In the field of Slovenian school libraries, we join many of those wide spaces of literacies through our international cooperation between schools involving pupils in different multicultural and international activities. For this occasion, we will represent two examples of Empowering Transliteracy in the School Libraries of Slovenia. The first one involves activities of transliteracy in the school curricula by celebrating International School Library Month, which takes place every October. The second example of empowering Transliteracy in the School Library was established in the Elementary School Litija through Erasmus plus activities. Not only do these activities strengthen all levels of competence of modern times, but as we strongly believe, help creating critical readers who will insist on lifelong learning.
