Authors: Hambali Gufron
Published: March 2019

Culture is the varieties of human actions in this world to change, to produce, and to develop by process. It is a result of the human’s art feeling which formed in a certain idea, activities, social system and artifacts. As the cultural creature, -human· always be creative to create the cultural innovative which based on a belief and an internal or external condition. These cultural phenomena are always various. In this modern period, the western culture is more dominant than other cultures. It can influence and assimilate with a certain nation’s culture, and gives the negative effect in the moral aspect and belief in the religion. Thus, this article describes about the Qur'anic forming culture based on the basic Islamic Theology can be  developed dynamically. AI-Qur 'an is the revelation of Allah, it becomes a way of life for Moslems and it always can answer the developing of Human’s  culture in the world.
Problem Kosmologi Dalam Filsafat lbnu Rusyd
Authors: Mustofa M. Lutfi
Published: March 2019

Philosophical discourse of universe creation was a phenomenon which characterized the dynamic views of Moslems scholars. This theme became an up to date topic as Moslems were faced with the exhaustive discussions to strengthen their beliefs on the existence of God and universe. In addition, this was also related to the great efforts made by the Moslems scholars to protect their concept on Tauhid and Aqeedah not to be contaminated by the thoughts aid concepts developed by non Moslem scholars. This writing aims at uncovering Ibn Rusyd philosophy on cosmology. lbnu Rusyd stated that universe was gradually created. Thus, the creation should be a process of changing one to another or change the potential into an actual creation. All these processes were done continuously in indefinite period.

There are instructions from the theory of speech acts that in the initial period, there were differences of opinion among experts. Philosophy, just like the difference between Ibnu Sina and Thomas Hobbes, the first time to examine the problem firmly and complete namely research conducted by J.L. Austin (linguist). This library research intends to study whether two prominent writers in the field semantics namely John Lyons in his book "Linguistic Semantics" and Ruth Kempson in his book "Semantic Theory" involves Austin's ideas in discussion they. Based on the data obtained and the discussions that have been carried out, it can be concluded that the two semantic experts involved Austin ideas in their discussion in semantics. However, the way they involve ideas Austin in their discussion varies from one another, ha / this is in line with the development of social sciences which have never been constant including semantics, as mentioned in previous discussions. Furthermore, it can also be concluded that the two semantic experts took advantage of Austin's ideas in their discussion, even though sometimes their opinions are different from Austin.

Mencermati Teori Keadilan Sosial John Rawls
Authors: Soleh A. Khudori
Published: March 2019

Rawls' justice theory is based on three basic concepts: concept of property from John Locke, social contract from Rousseau, and imperative categories from Kant. This Rawls' justice conception itself emerges as a respond for social injustice in society as well as i nequitable behavior affected by the ethics of utilitarianism. Furthermore, according to Rawls, justice is fairness. The principles of justice are, (1) equal and maximum feasible liberty for all, (2) power and wealth to be distributed equally, except where inequalities; would work for the adage of all and where all would have equal opportunity to attain the higher position. The first principle supposes as permanent principle and, which cannot be interpreted. On the other hand, the second principle degrades two formulas: (a) everyone’s  advantage (b) equally open. So forth, from formula (a) can be degraded two possibilities: principle of efficiency and principle of differentiation, whereas from formula (b) also can be degraded two possibilities: equality as careers open to talents and equality as equality of fair opportunity): Hencefonh, from possibility of (a) and (b) yielded four possibilities of justice interpretation: natural freedom, free equality, free aristocracy and the equality democratize.

Published: March 2019

In many verses of al-Qur'an, men are called to pay their attention to understand how they were created. Human creation and incredible aspects followed were strongly mentioned in many verses in detail until it's impossible for anyone who lived in the seventh century to recognize it. One of them was the information saying that the determinant of baby gender is the spermatozoa coming from men sperm. Allah said in his verse: "and that He (Allah) creates in pairs, male and female. From Nutfah (drops of semen male and female discharge) when it is emitted" (translation of al-Qur'an 53 verse 45-46). Branches of knowledge which have developed, such as Genetics and Molecular Biology, have proved scientifically the information accuracy which has been given by al-Qur'an. Nowadays it has been well-known that sex determination is determined by sperm of man and in fact women play no roles in this determination. If the ovum fuses with sperm which carries Y chromosome than the baby will be born as a male. Conversely, if the sperm carries X chromosome than the baby will be a female. In the other word, the sex of the baby is determined by the kind of man's sperm chromosome which fuses with women's ovum.

This research is to describe: (1) the background of emergence of Nurcholish Madjid' s thinking about Neo-Sufism. (2) the substance of Neo-Sufism according to Nurcholish Madjid and it's implication to the life of Islamic community. (3) to describe it's existence between classical Sufism and modern Sufism. This research is library research. The data in this research are qualitative data from the books and documents that relate to the topic. The collected data are analyzed by content analysis technique. This research find that two factor cause the emergence of Nurcholish Madjid's thinking about Neo-Sufism: (1) historical and scientific factor that sunni Sufism, philosophical Sufism and modern Sufism are contradicting and blaming each others on their concept. (2) actual factors that is, the emergence of spiritual crisis in the western country and their consciousness to repair it by studying Sufism teaching. Neo-Sufism is the continues of the classical Sufism and modern Sufism thinking, but it try to combine between them. If the classical Sufism stress on spiritual experience, spiritualism, uzlah, wirid, zikir and kasyaf, and take away the profane affairs, and modern Sufism see that uzlah, kasyaf and spiritual experience on classical Sufism as bid'ah and khurafat, Neo Sufism try to combine them by saying that spiritual experience, uzlah, and kasyaf are importance but not to far away from profane life. According to Neo Sufism, to be sufi is not throw away profane life but we still can be sufi although to be active in profane life. Nurcholish Madjid' s thinking o n Neo-Sufism is the consistence of Ibnu Taimiyah-Ib nu Qayyim Al-Juaziyah-Fazlurrahman an d Hamka thinking.

Published: March 2019

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of consumer complaints handling on consumer satisfaction in dairy milk processors in Kenya. The study population was 384 consumers from 15 major supermarkets chains in Kenya. Primary data was sought from consumers of processed dairy milk using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire employing a mixed methods research design.  Descriptive and regression analysis and regression analysis were conducted with the help of SPSS software. Majority of the respondents disagreed that their complaints were handled so well to their expectation. Respondents also disagreed that merchandisers were receptive to their complaints as consumers to their satisfaction. The results showed a weak positive relationship between complaints handling and consumer satisfaction. The beta value of the computed (composite index) scores of consumers’ complaints handling was 0.027 with a t-test value of 1.026 and significance level of 0.306. Dairy milk processors in Kenya had poor consumer complaints handling mechanisms. However this seemed to have no reduction in consumer satisfaction in the products in question. The study recommended that dairy milk processors in Kenya had poor consumer complaints handling mechanisms.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Cholelithiasis and consumption of alcohol are the most frequent causes of acute pancreatitis (AP), accounting for about 30 to 40% of the cases, respectively. The frequency of acute biliary pancreatitis is high in a certain population in Brazil. Objective: To estimate the global frequencies of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), acute alcoholic pancreatitis (AAP) and the cases considered as acute idiopathic pancreatitis (AIP) in studies published from October 2006 to December 31, 2018. Methods: A systematic review of observational studies was performed from October 2006 to December 31, 2018. A meta-analysis by the random effects model was used to calculate the frequencies of global ABP, AIP and AAP and subgroups. Results: Forty-six studies representing 2,341,007 AP cases were included in 36 countries. The overall estimate for acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) was 41.6% (95% CI 39.2-44.1), followed by acute alcoholic pancreatitis (AAP) with 20.5% (95% CI) 16.6- 24.6) and acute idiopathic pancreatitis (AIP) in 18.3% (95% CI 15.1-27.7). Conclusion: ABP is the most prevalent etiology of AP, being two times more frequent than second-placed pancreatitis. Latin America has a frequency for ABP much higher than the rest of the world. The importance of the etiologic diagnosis is the treatment of the cause for prevention of recurrence.
Model Based on an Effective Material Removal Rate to Evaluate the Specific Energy Consumption in Grinding
Authors: Nápoles Alberro A. , González Rojas H.A , Sánchez Egea A.J. , Hameed S. , Peña Aguilar R.M.
Published: March 2019

The energy efficiency of grinding depends on the appropriate selection of cutting conditions, grinding wheel and workpiece material. Additionally, the estimation of specific energy consumption is a good indicator to control the energy consumed during the grinding process. Consequently, this study develops a model of material removal rate to estimate the specific energy consumption based on the measurement of active power consumed in a plane surface grinding of C45K with different thermal treatments and AISI 304. This model identifies and evaluates the power dissipated by sliding, ploughing and chip formation in a industrial-scale grinding process. Furthermore, the instantaneous positions of the abrasive grains during cutting are described to study the material removal rate. The estimation of specific chip formation energy is similar to that described by other authors in laboratory scale, which allows to validate the model and experiments. Finally, the results show that the energy consumed by sliding is the main phenomenon of energy dissipation in industrial-scale grinding process, where it is denoted that sliding energy by volume unity decreases as the depth of cut and speed of workpiece increase.

Published: March 2019

Woody alien plant species have been deliberately introduced globally in many arid and semi-arid regions as they can provide services and goods to the rural poor. However, some of these alien trees and shrubs have become invasive over time, with important impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being. Prosopis was introduced in Baringo County, Kenya, in the 1980s, but since then it has spread rapidly from the original plantations to new areas. To assess land use and land cover (LULC) changes and dynamics in Baringo, we used a combination of dry and wet season Landsat satellite data acquired in a 7-year time interval between 1988 and 2016 and performed a supervised Random Forest classification. For each time interval we calculated extent of the invasion, rates of spread and gains and losses of specific LULC classes. We further assessed the relative importance of Prosopis invasion on LULC changes and ultimately on the provision of ecosystem services rural people depend on. Overall accuracy and kappa coefficients of the LULC classifications ranged between 98.1 % and 98.5 %, and 0.93 and 0.96, respectively. We found that Prosopis coverage increased from 882 ha in 1988 to 18,792 ha in 2016. Highest negative change in LULC classes was found for grasslands (-6252 ha; -86 %), irrigated cropland (-849 ha; -57 %), Vachellia tortilis dominated vegetation (-3602 ha; -42 %), and rainfed cropland (-1432 ha; -37 %) – all of them important categories with regard to rural people’s livelihoods. Prosopis invasion alone directly accounted for over 30% of these negative changes, suggesting that Prosopis invasion is a key driver of the observed LULC changes in Baringo County. The observed rates of invasion are alarming and ask for urgent implementation of coordinated and sustainable Prosopis management in Baringo and other invaded areas in East Africa.

Deep learning has taken over - both in problems beyond the realm of traditional, hand-crafted machine learning paradigms as well as in capturing the imagination of the practitioner sitting on top of petabytes of data. While the public perception about the efficacy of deep neural architectures in complex pattern recognition tasks grows, sequentially up-to-date primers on the current state of affairs must follow. In this review, we seek to present a refresher of the many different stacked, connectionist networks that make up the deep learning architectures followed by automatic architecture optimization protocols using multi-agent approaches. Further, since guaranteeing system uptime is fast becoming an indispensable asset across multiple industrial modalities, we include an investigative section on testing neural networks for fault detection and subsequent mitigation. This is followed by an exploratory survey of several application areas where deep learning has emerged as a game-changing technology - be it anomalous behavior detection in financial applications or financial time-series forecasting, predictive and prescriptive analytics, medical imaging, natural language processing or power systems research. The thrust of this review is on outlining emerging areas of application-oriented research within the deep learning community as well as to provide a handy reference to researchers seeking to embrace deep learning in their work for what it is: statistical pattern recognizers with unparalleled hierarchical structure learning capacity with the ability to scale with information.

Surfaces of different complex shapes are aspirated part of many scientific measuring devices, medical, astronomical, and other precision activity utilizations. Components at miniaturized level should meet required surface roughness for the intended applications. Surface finishing of freeform and miniaturized components are always difficult and need to look for a new way out. In this study, an attempt was made to improve surfaces roughness of selected, most frequently used, engineering materials using different innovative processes, which can be integrated with CNC machine centers. An advanced automated surface finishing tools such as ball burnishing embedded with load cell, vibration assisted polishing, and self-propelled abrasive multi-jet polishing tools are proposed. Ball burnishing is advantageous for pre-machining process of ball polishing. Using the polishing device embedded with load cell, the constant force polishing is achieved. To reduce the volumetric wear of a polishing ball, vibration assisted polishing device is also integrated. Moreover, self-propelled abrasive multi-jet polishing tool, which achieves 93.33% improvement of surface roughness for lapped optical glass of BK7 has been subjugated from Ra 0.300 μm to 0.020 μm. These tools can be miniaturized and applicable in small micro CNC machining centers.

Surface microstructures can provide various functionalities, and wettability is a typical surface property that can be controlled by surface textures. Unidirectional wetting properties (UWPs) have been garnering attention as a useful wetting function for industrial functions. Thus, in this study, developing UWPs using surface microstructures has been tested. First, UWPs were calculated with the thermodynamic analysis of contact angle (CA). The analytical results predicted that an increased oblique angle of the microstructures, ω2, can increase the advancing CA; the receding CAs could not be calculated, and might exhibit the pinning effect. Ultrasonic-assisted cutting was subsequently employed to fabricate hierarchical microstructures for providing UWPs to a workpiece. Although many burrs have been observed on the edges of the structures, microstructures with different oblique angles, ω2=5◦, 10°, and 15°, were fabricated in the designed scales. Finally, the UWPs were verified by measuring the CAs and sliding angles (SAs). The anisotropy of CA hysteresis was indicated in each oblique angle structure, and the anisotropy of SAs was confirmed when ω2=10◦and 15°. The retention force ratio of a droplet,r, which indicates the UWPs, was subsequently estimated with two different approaches, and both approaches led a similar value of the attrition rates ofrfrom ω2=10◦to 15°.

High-quality die and mold production is becoming increasingly important in modern mass production. Surface quality is one of the most frequent and stringent customer specifications for machined parts, of which the major consideration and indication of quality is their surface roughness. In this study, a novel ball-ended polishing tool made of polyurethane impregnated with micro cubic boron nitride (CBN) was developed. The polishing tool was mounted on a three-axis machining center; the rotary polishing action was achieved via ultrasonics. Polishing experiments were conducted on specimens of hardened Stavax stainless mold steel. Four types of polishing tools – containing 10 wt% of pure CBN particles and Al2O3coated CBN with two different degrees of hardness (Shore 25 and 45) – were fabricated; the results of the experiments were compared with those obtained using a traditional elastic-ball polishing tool. It was found that the surface quality achieved using the Al2O3coated CBN tool was superior to that with pure CBN particles because the hardness of the polishing tool increased with the increase in the surface roughness of the workpiece. In addition, ultrasonic-assisted polishing yielded a better surface finish.

Published: March 2019

In this study, a novel design and fabrication method that corresponds to simple and optimized press molding for carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is proposed based on CAD data. Specifically, in recent years, CFRP has been widely used for weight reduction of transportation equipment. However, optimization of the production process is required to expand the range of applications of CFRP. To satisfy the aforementioned requirements, this study focused on the press molding technique. It was assumed that partial excessive or partial breakage of the fiber occurs due to the drawing of the fiber by the deformation force. A design and fabrication method was proposed for CFRP preform that exhibits the unfolded diagram shape of an objective three-dimensional (3D) model by using a tow prepreg as a solution for the aforementioned problems. A calculation method to generate the unfolded diagram was also proposed. Furthermore, the validity of the unfolded diagram was confirmed by reproducing the diagram for a 3D shape.

The number of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is constantly growing in general population. Accordantly, we have the growth of such patients in the group of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Aim.To compare clinical characteristics of the elderly patient (>75 years old) with and without DM.

Material and methods. This retrospective study included 1133 ACS patients who were aged ≥75 years and admitted to the City Clinical Hospital №1 from 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2016. Median age was 80 years, 66% were women. We analyzed 4 patient subgroups: Group 1 – 105 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and DM, Group 2 – 254 STEMI patients without DM, Group 3 – 222 non-STEMI patients with DM and Group 4 – 552 non-STEMI patients without DM. We used Student’s t-test and c2 tests to find significant difference between pairs of groups.

Results. Median age of patients in 4 groups was 80, 81, 81 and 80 years (p>0.05), age variance was 75-100 years. DM was found in 29% of all elderly patients with no difference between STEMI and non-STEMI groups. STEMI and non-STEMI patients with DM were more likely women. NonSTEMI patients with DM more often had hypertension, previous stroke, lower median Hb (121 vs 127 g/l; p<0.001). Angiography data demonstrated more often three-vessel disease (43% vs 29.7%) and less one-vessel disease (15% vs 25.6%; p<0.05) between groups 3 and 4. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 occurred in 74%, 73%, 77% and 74% in patients of 4 groups (p>0,05), but GFR<45 ml/min/1.73 m2 was more prevalent in patients with DM than without DM: 45%, 39%, 45%, 36% in 4 groups. Finally, mortality rates didn’t demonstrate significant difference between DM and non-DM patients with STEMI (10% vs 13%; p>0.05) and non-STEMI (7% vs 7%) groups.

Conclusion. DM is associated with ACS approximately in one third of the elderly patients and is not associated with its type (STEMI or non-STEMI). In STEMI and non-STEMI patients the female sex and GFR level <45 ml/min/1.73 m2 were associated with DM. In non-STEMI group multi-vessel disease and presence of hypertension and previous stroke were associated with DM. We didn’t find any difference between mortality in elderly patients with and without DM.

Aim. To study the frequency of prescribing antithrombotic agents in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who were hospitalized in the cardiology department of a multidisciplinary hospital.

Material and methods. A retrospective one-time study of medical records of 765 patients with non-valvular AF treated in the cardiology department of a multidisciplinary hospital in 2012 and 2016 was performed.

Results. All patients were stratified in three groups depending on the CHA2DS2-VASc score. The frequency of prescribing antithrombotic agents was evaluated in each group. A low risk of thromboembolic complications was found in 1% (n=3) of patients in 2012 and 0.6% (n=3) in 2016. All these patients received antithrombotic agents. CHA2DS2-VASc=1 was found in 6% (n=15) of patients with AF in 2012 and in 3.4% (n=17) in 2016. A significant number of patients in this group received anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) or with direct oral anticoagulants. A high risk of thromboembolic complications (CHA2DS2-VASc≥2) was found in 93% of patient (n=245) in 2012 and in 96% (n=482) in 2016. Anticoagulant therapy was prescribed in 70.2% (n=172) patients with high risk in 2012 and 80% (n=387) in 2016. However, some patients with high risk of thromboembolic complications did not have the necessary therapy.

Conclusion. Positive changes in the structure and frequency of prescribing anticoagulant drugs in patients with AF and a high risk of thromboembolic complications were found during the years studied.
Personalized Medicine in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Myth or Reality?

Due to the spectacular progress made in human genomic studies, molecular biology and genetics have become an essential part of modern medicine making it possible to early detect the risk factors and select the personalized treatment. The genetic studies have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. Significant advances in the study of electrophysiological and genetic mechanisms of life-threatening arrhythmias have been achieved through studies of familial conditions with high risk of sudden cardiac death. However, the area of special interest for a practitioner is the identification of mutations associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). The novel methods enable us to study histological, structural, cellular and molecular causes of this arrhythmia. The two main directions of molecular genetic studies of AF are the identification of genetic mutations causing familial atrial fibrillation and the study of different genes polymorphism predisposing to arrhythmia in general population. Gene polymorphism screening helps both identify AF risk factors and predict its evolution from paroxysmal to chronic type. Emerging genetic studies provided explanation for the variable efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs. It can be assumed that the clinical use of genetic methods will allow accurate and personalized selection of antiarrhythmics. Currently, therapeutic drug monitoring is widely recommended for a number of medications including cytostatics, aminoglycosides, anticonvulsants, and, by some researchers, antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant drugs. Medicine from the very beginning was intended to be personalized, but until recently it was a little more than a myth. The discovery of the human genome makes it possible to choose the most effective treatment with minimal adverse drug reactions for a particular patient.

Implementasi Diseminasi Pengetahuan Islam Lokal Digital pada Perpustakaan PTKIN dan Dampaknya terhadap Pengembangan World Class Library
Authors: Arianto Muhammad Solihin , Zulaikha Sri Rohyanti

Pengetahuan Islam lokal dipahami sebagai pengetahuan yang dimiliki komunitas tertentu dan berkembang di geografis tertentu yang bersinggungan dan menyatu dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Pengetahuan lokal yang saling terintegrasi dengan Islam yang datang kemudian inilah yang memunculkan pengetahuan Islam yang bersifat lokal. Hasil penelitian mengenai perpustakaan perguruan tinggi Islam di Indonesia yang telah merintis pengembangan pengetahuan Islam lokal belum ditemukan hingga saat ini. Pada saat yang bersamaan, muncul keprihatinan karena keberadaan pengetahuan tersebut belum dirawat secara maksimal, bahkan masih banyak yang berserakan di berbagai tempat di sekitar perpustakaan tersebut berada. Beranjak dari kenyataan ini, salah satu institusi yang semestiya memberikan perhatian sungguh-sungguh atas nasib pengetahuan Islam lokal ini adalah PTKIN dengan memaksimalkan peran perpustakaannya untuk menghimpun dan mengelola pengetahuan tersebut. Untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengelolaan dan jangkauan akses atau diseminasi yang telah dilakukan perpustakaaan-perpustakaan UIN di PTKIN terkait dengan pengetahuan Islam lokal sehingga pengetahuan ini bisa dimanfaatkan masyarakat luas dengan cepat dan mudah melalui jaringan global, ada 11 Perpustakaan UIN di lingkungan PTKIN yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua perpustakaan UIN tersebut belum mengimplementasikan pengelolaan pengetahuan Islam lokal sehingga diseminasi pengetahuan tersebut belum dilakukan. Bagaimanapun, terdapat tiga perpustakaan yang telah merencanakan pengelolaan pengetahuan Islam lokal yaitu Perpustakaan UIN Yogyakarta, Perpustakaan UIN Surabaya, dan Perpustakaan UIN Aceh. Karena belum ada satu pun perpustakaan UIN di lingkungan PTKIN yang diteliti menyediakan akses secara spesifik pada pengetahuan tersebut baik lewat jaringan lokal maupun akses jarak jauh, maka dampak pengelolaan pengetahuan Islam lokal digital terhadap pencapaian world class library belum diketahui secara pasti. Meskipun demikian, sebagian besar Perpustakaan UIN yang diteliti berkeyakinan bahwa pengelolaan pengetahuan Islam lokal dapat berdampat positif terhadap pencapaian internasionalisasi perpustakaan.
OPEN ACCESS DAN PERPUSTAKAAN DIGITAL: Tantangan Perpustakaan dalam Mengelola Repository di Perguruan Tinggi

Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi kegiatan open access yang dilakukan di repository perpustakaan dan menjelaskan tantangan perpustakaan dalam mengembangkan kualitas repository. Salah satu indikator kualitas repository adalah adanya implementasi open access yang diterapkan dengan baik. Namun saat ini masih banyak perpustakaan yang belum menerapkan paradigma open access dengan benar sehingga banyak perpustakaan belum berani membuka informasi secara full text. Hal ini dikarenakan masih adanya kekhawatiran dengan praktik plagiarism ketika informasi tersebut dibuka secara full text. Oleh karena itu ada beberapa hal yang perlu dilakukan oleh pustakawan untuk mengembangkan kualitas repository, diantaranya; (1) Menghimbau kepada dosen pembimbing untuk meneliti dengan serius hasil karya mahasiswa, (2) Pustakawan harus menyaring (filtering) karya-karya penelitian yang akan dimasukkan ke dalam repository terkait konten, apakah karya tersebut asli atau plagiarism, (3) Pustakawan harus membantu menyadarkan kepada para peneliti dan mahasiswa di sekitar institusi untuk mempunyai moral yang baik sehingga dapat menulis karya ilmiah sesuai dengan kaidah yang berlaku, (4) Pustakawan harus selalu mengecek isi dan konten dari karya ilmiah sebelum diterbitkan sehingga karya ilmiah yang masuk merupakan karya yang berkualitas, dan (5) Pustakawan harus membuat kebijakan dan Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP) tentang proses penerbitan karya ilmiah ke dalam repository.
