Published: September 2019

Epilepsy is a disease that attacks the brain and results in seizures due to neurological disorders. The electrical activity of the brain recorded by the EEG signal test, because EEG test can be used to diagnose brain and mental diseases such as epilepsy. This study aims to identify whether a person has epilepsy or not along with the result of accurate, sensitivity, and precision rate using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) method. The FFT is used to transform EEG signals from time-based into frequency-based and continued with feature extraction to take characteristics from each filtering signal using the median, mean, and standard deviations of each EEG signal. The results of the feature extraction used for input on the category process based on characteristics data (classification) using ANFIS. EEG signal data is obtained from epilepsy center online database of Bonn University, German. The results of the EEG signal classification system using ANFIS with two classes (Normal-Epilepsy) states accuracy, sensitivity, and precision of 100%. The classification systems with three class division (Normal-Not Seizure Epilepsy-Epilepsy) resulted in an accuracy of 89.33% sensitivity of 89.37% and precision of 89.33%.

Published: September 2019

Shallot is one of the potential horticultural commodities. The purpose of this study is to estimate the production function and efficiency of shallot farming. The method used in the study is the estimation of production functions using stochastic frontier. The data used in this study were shallot production (kg), harvested area (m2), labor used (HOK), use of seeds (kg), fertilizer (kg), pesticides used (kg), sourced from SHR2014 which conducted by the Central Statistics Agency. In the estimation process, all variables are transformed by natural logarithms. The results showed that the estimation of the function of shallot production for both the dry season and the wet season with independent variables included harvested area, labor, seeds, fertilizers, and significant pesticides in the model, so that formed model was valid for further use. The average technical efficiency of shallot farming in the dry and wet season is 0.6626 and 0.6627, respectively, which means that in general, shallot farming in Indonesia is not efficient on the technical side. That is, there are indications that the optimal processing technology of production inputs in the business has not been carried out optimally.

Authors: Jain Sanjay , Hoshi Masato , Knoten Amanda , Salamon Diane
Published: September 2019

Critical to generating robust single cell or tissue gene expression data is ensuring that the source samples are procured and processed in a way that minimizes artifacts. This is especially critical for generating single cell/nucleus gene expression data from adult human tissue samples that are difficult to dissociate and might require prolonged manipulations that will introduce stress response signatures. We describe methods to: minimize these unwanted processing effects to enable interrogation of limited tissues, such as biopsies; allow histological validation and quality assurance and control of the samples; ensure compatibility with both single cell assays and orthogonal technologies. This involves preparing fresh frozen O.C.T. embedded tissue cryoblocks to collect thick sections for gene expression studies and adjacent sections for QA/QC, bulk RNAseq, DNA preparation or multiplex in situ RNA hybridization. The protocol for embedding limited amount of tissue for cryosections and susequent OMICS studies should be applicable to several solid organs and biopsies.

The concept of the notion “pupil’s success in the process of sports training”
Authors: Voronin Alexander D.
Published: September 2019

The article analyzes the concepts of “success” and “professional success”, “success of sports activities”, “student’s success” which are studied in the framework of various theories: psychology, philosophy, theory of activity, pedagogy. In addition, the authors identified the fundamental approaches of organization of the training process of the student during his sports preparation for the formation of his success: self-centered, self-activity, anthropological, and also made their analysis and provided a description of each approach separately. In addition, based on studies of the concept of "success" from the point of view of various theories, the authors put forward the assumption that this concept is multifaceted. Furthermore, in this paper suggests that the problem of student’s success and ways of its formation in the sport training process is a very important social and psycho-pedagogical task in the field of amateur and professional sports. In addition, this article highlights the main components, revealing the concept of "success of the student in the process of sports training" in order to further build the model of formation of the success of students in sports activities: physiological, psychological, moral, technical and tactical, cognitive. At first the necessary condition here is the conceptual refinement of the concept of “success of the student in the process of sports training", which the author of the article suggests, based on an analysis of the above theories and empirical experience obtained during coaching and competitive activities. Due to the specification of the concept of "student’s success in the process of sports training", later on, based on this concept, the author plans to develop a number of pedagogical means of shaping the success of a student in the process of sport’s training.

Authors: Pavlova Irina N. , Yevdokimov Michail A.
Published: September 2019

Today the discrepancy between the amount of knowledge that a learner should get according to the program and the time available for this encourages professors to look for productive ways of educational process organization that would help to avoid a decline in the quality of teaching as a whole and increase the degree of information perception in particular as well as contribute to students’ cognitive and creative activity development. Taking into account the global informatization of modern society, especially the fact that usage of information and computer technologies for modern people is not only a part of their everyday life but it also captures many spheres of life of the whole society including the sphere of education, it makes impossible imagining of effective academic activity methods without information technologies active introduction. In conditions of ubiquitous informatization of education the use of modern information technologies in the training process including the use of such a modern computer platform as an interactive board helps to achieve these goals. Application of this innovation device during higher mathematics lessons gives opportunity to improve the process of the subject studying, makes it more intensive, dynamic, informational and graphical and as a result it makes the lessons more efficient. This article describes and justifies the advantages of using of the didactic and technical capabilities of interactive board at the classes of higher mathematics in technical university in comparison with traditional academic discipline teaching.

SOCIETIES OF GEORGIAN STUDENTS OF THE KYIV COMMERCIAL INSTITUTE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY AND THE BIOGRAPHIES OF THEIR ACTIVE MEMBERS
Authors: Chutkyi A.
Published: September 2019

The author investigates the Georgian students’ societies at the Kiev Commercial Institute in 1909-1912. They can be divided into scientific-oriented (the Club of Admirers of Georgian Culture, the Club of Admirers of Georgian Literature, the Scientific Club of Georgian Students) and students’ fraternities (Georgian and Transcaucasian) organizations. It is emphasized that such a number of national-level organizations at the Kyiv Commercial Institute have not been created by any other nationalities, despite the fact that the Georgians did not represent the largest ethnic group among the students of this educational institution. All these arguments additionally testify the high level of consolidation and national consciousness of Georgian youth at the beginning of the 20th century. Obviously, the fact of separation from the homeland only strengthened their national identity and contributed to their consolidation.

The analysis is carried out based on detected personal files of students in the archive of the Kiev Commercial Institute, which belonged to the leadership of these organizations. It is concluded that most of them came from large and poor families of Georgian clergy from the countryside. They obtained the secondary education at the theological seminary at homeland. Accordingly, their focus on receiving the economic education should be explained as a desire to improve their financial position, and the fact that they got it in Kiev additionally confirms the long-standing and the friendship of the Ukrainian-Georgian relations. The research is based on archival documents which are introduced for the first time to a scientific circle.
WRITTEN DOCUMENTS ON THE BLACK SEA DIPLOMACY VECTOR OF HETMAN BOHDAN KMELNYTSKY
Authors: Turanly F.
Published: September 2019

Making studies of written sources relating to the diplomatic activities of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, and particularly the Turkish-Ottoman written documents (manuscripts), is required to obtain new data, so as to confirm the fact of the interstate relations of the Ukrainian Cossack State with the Ottoman Empire to have been rising. Moreover, an important meaning of the Black-Sea vector of the foreign policy of the said Hetman was accounted forf by the needs for the Ukrainian people to get sure of a support in its liberation struggle against its enemies. There have been analysed the causes of strengthening the role of the above said trend in the foreign political activities of B. Khmelnytsky. By the way, this problem in due time was paid attention to in academic studies of such famous Ukrainian historians, as Mykhailo Hrushevsky, Omelian Pritsak and Yaroslav Dashkevych, who concentrated mainly in studying separate aspect of the diplomatic activities of the Cossack-Hetmanic Ukraine in regard of the Crimean Khanate and Higher Porte in the middle of the 17th century. For a more detailed consideration of the problem touched in the given study there are also of importance the data, we have obtained from the original chronical manuscript “An order-letter from the Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV to the Cossack Hetman B. Khmelnytsky” that is kept in Kamyanets-Podilsky State-owned Ukraine’s Historical Museum-Archive, and which was firstly involved in an academic circulation. In this letter the Hetman speaks of his devoted friendship with the Sultan and of his loyal servicing to the latter one.

A 2000 Yr Paleoearthquake Record along the Conway Segment of the Hope Fault: Implications for Patterns of Earthquake Occurrence in Northern South Island and Southern North Island, New Zealand

Published: September 2019

Paleoseismic trenches excavated at two sites reveal ages of late Holocene earthquakes along the Conway segment of the Hope fault, the fastest-slipping fault within the Marlborough fault system in northern South Island, New Zealand. At the Green Burn East (GBE) site, a fault-perpendicular trench exposed gravel colluvial wedges, fissure fills, and upward fault terminations associated with five paleo-surface ruptures. Radiocarbon age constraints indicate that these five earthquakes occurred after 36 B.C.E., with the four most recent surface ruptures occurring during a relatively brief period (550 yr) between about 1290 C.E. and the beginning of the historical earthquake record about 1840 C.E. Additional trenches at the Green Burn West (GBW) site 1.4 km west of GBE reveal four likely coseismically generated landslides that occurred at approximately the same times as the four most recent GBE paleoearthquakes, independently overlapping with age ranges of events GB1, GB2, and GB3 from GBE. Combining age constraints from both trench sites indicates that the most recent event (GB1) occurred between 1731 and 1840 C.E., the penultimate event GB2 occurred between 1657 and 1797 C.E., GB3 occurred between 1495 and 1611 C.E., GB4 occurred between 1290 and 1420 C.E., and GB5 occurred between 36 B.C.E. and 1275 C.E. These new data facilitate comparisons with similar paleoearthquake records from other faults within the Alpine–Hope–Jordan–Kekerengu–Needles–Wairarapa (Al-Hp-JKN-Wr) fault system of throughgoing, fast-slip-rate (≥10  mm/yr) reverse-dextral faults that accommodate a majority of Pacific–Australia relative plate boundary motion. These comparisons indicate that combinations of the faults of the Al-Hp-JKN-Wr system may commonly rupture within relatively brief, ≤100-year-long sequences, but that full “wall-to-wall” rupture sequences involving all faults in the system are rare over the span of our paleoearthquake data. Rather, the data suggest that the Al-Hp-JKN-Wr system may commonly rupture in subsequences that do not involve the entire system, and potentially, at least sometimes, in isolated events.
Seismic Characteristics of the Nootka Fault Zone: Results from the Seafloor Earthquake Array Japan–Canada Cascadia Experiment (SeaJade)

Published: September 2019

The Nootka fault zone (NFZ) divides the incoming Explorer and Juan de Fuca plates of the Cascadia subduction zone. Three months of seafloor monitoring using 33 ocean‐bottom seismometers off the west coast of Vancouver Island has allowed us to better understand the tectonic configuration and seismogenic characteristics of the NFZ. We have learned that the NFZ is comprised of northern and southern primary bounding faults, and several conjugate faults developed subperpendicular to the primary faults. Earthquakes typically occur over the depth ranges of 15–20 and 6–15 km along the primary bounding and conjugate faults, respectively. Focal mechanisms reveal that the most common modes of failure in this region are left‐lateral strike slip, with normal faulting occurring along the southwestern extent of the NFZ and thrust faulting to the northeast before the subduction front. Seismic tomography suggests that the oceanic Moho is at a depth of 12–14 km below sea level (10–12 km below seafloor) just seaward of the Cascadia deformation front, and that it deepens to 19 km (17 km below seafloor) approximately 20 km landward of the deformation front. Converted phase analysis illuminates four velocity‐contrasting interfaces with average depths below sea level deepening landward of the subduction front at ∼4–6, ∼6–9, ∼11–14, and ∼14–18  km. We interpret them as the sedimentary basement, upper–lower crust boundary, oceanic Moho, and the base of the highly fractured and seawater or mineral enriched veins within mantle. The precipitation of minerals such as quartz or the formation of talc, which is made possible by the intense degree of fracturing within the NFZ facilitating the infiltration of seawater, may reduce mantle velocities, as well as VP/VS ratios. The lack of seismicity observed along the interplate thrust zone in northern Cascadia may suggest that the megathrust fault is completely locked, consistent with prior studies.

Aim. The assessment of infectious status in patients with acutely decompensated chronic heart faiure (ADCHF) without evident signs of acute inflammatory stress and its impact on the 1 year prognosis.

Material and methods. Totally, 65 patients with ADCHF of ischemic origin investigated, age 67,3±2,3 y.o. All patients were taken markers of phagocytosis and inflammatory stress as well as antibodies to Streptococcus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (VEB), Candida albicans, Toxoplasma gondii, Aspergillus, Mycoplasma hominis and pneumonia and also level of lipopolysaccharids (LPS) of gram-negative bacteriae.

Results. More often LPS of gram-negative bacteriae were revealed in patients with ADCHF and further in decreasing order – antibodies to CMV, VEB, Streptococcus, Candida, Aspergillus and LPS. All patients have been infected by at least 2 pathogens, more than 90 % of them had 3 ones or more. Mortality in first 12 months observation correlated with quantity of patient`s pathogenic patterns (r=0,52, p=0,004). Dependency of one-year mortality from degree of viral-bacterial mixt contamination was almost linear. CMV was a monopathogen with strongest correlation with mortality (r=0,39, p=0,001). In patients with more significant infection bigger rate of re-hospitalizations about new ADCHF correlated with number of pathogens was observed (r=0,61, p=0,001).

Conclusion. Chronic latent infection with a significant number of pathogens is characteristic of patients with low-ejection ADCHF of ischemic genesis with a significant number of pathogens: more than 90 % of patients had three or more. The most common exogenous pathogens in the study sample of patients with chronic obstructive heart failure were CMV, EBV, and hemolytic streptococcus, of the potentially endogenous ones, gram-negative intestinal bacteria. The number of infectious agents in patients with chronic obstructive heart failure has a direct correlation with deaths and re-admission to hospital with total heart failure within 1 year after discharge from the hospital.

Authors: Mezhonov E. M. , Vyalkina Ju. A. , Shalaev S. V.
Published: September 2019

Aim. To assess the prevalence and prognostic value of AKI in patients with acute decompensation of chronic heart failure (ADCHF) with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), to identify predictors of AKI.

Materials and methods. In a prospective study included 863 patients, of which 141 with ADCHF, 446 – non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) and 276 – ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). AKI was diagnosed according to KDIGO recommendations. The end point was defined as death from cardiovascular causes.

Result. During the follow-up from 1 to 37 months (median follow-up was 18 months) for patients with ADCHF in 24,8 % an endpoint was reported. For patients with ACS, the observation time ranged from 1 day to 14 months (median follow-up was 12 months), in 4,3 % – NSTE-ACS, 10,9 % – STEMI the end point was recorded. AKI developed in 14,8 % of patients with ADCHF HFpEF and 11,2 % ADCHF HFrEF, in 23,1 % – STEMI and 21,4 % – NSTE-ACS. AKI increases the risk of death from cardiovascular causes in patients with ADCHF HFrEF (OR 95 % 98,750 (11,158–873,976), р<0,001) and STEMI (OR 95 % 5,395 (2,451–11,878), p<0,001), but did not increase the risk of an endpoint occurrence in patients with ADCHF HFpEF (OR 95 % 1,875 (0,221–15,930), р=0,565) and NSTE-ACS (OR 95 % 1,199 (0,421–3,412), р=0,734). The multivariate analysis revealed risk factors for the development of AKI in patients with ADCHF HFrEF: high albuminuria (AU) from 30 mg / l (OR 95 % 5,763 (1,338–24,819), р=0,019), GFR<45 ml / min initially at admission to hospital (OR 95 % 76,593 (1,193–36,446), p=0,031), age>75 years (OR 15,933 (1,020–248,856), р=0,048). In patients with STEMI: age>75 years (OR 95 % 3,248 (1,476–7,146), p=0,003), female gender (OR 95 % 2,321 (1,190–4,526), p=0,013), acute heart failure (AHF) Killip IV (OR 95 % 10,334 (1,777–60,110), p=0,009). Risk factors for the development of AKI in patients with NSTE-ACS: age>75 years (OR 95 % 1,761 (1,051–2,949), р=0,032), PCI on RCA (OR 95 % 2,565 (1,193–5,517), р=0,016).

Conclusion. In patients with ADCHF HFrEF and STEMI development AKI is associated with a poor prognosis, but does not affect the prognosis of patients with ADCHF HFpEF and NSTE-ACS. AKI in patients with ADCHF HFrEF can be predicted using predictors: GFR<45 ml / min, AU more than 30 mg / l and age>75 years. In patients with STEMI, the predictors of AKI were age>75 years, female gender, AHF Killip IV, and in patients with NSTE-ACS age>75 years, PCI on RCA.

Aim.To assess the incidence of blood pressure (BP) control and various phenotypes of BP by comparing the results of office and 44-hour ambulatory brachial and central BP measurement in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on program hemodialysis (HD).

Materials and methods.In 68 patients ESRD receiving renal replacement therapy we evaluated office peridialysis BP and performed 44-hour ambu latory monitoring (ABPM) of brachial and central BP during peridialysis period using a validated oscillometric device BPLabVasotens (OOO “Petr Telegin”).Resultswere considered statistically significant with p<0.05.

Results.The frequency of control of peripheral office BP before the HD session was 25%, after – 23.5%; control of central BP – 48.6% and 49%, respectively. According to office measurement the frequency of systolic-diastolic hypertension was 44.1%, isolated systolic hypertension – 25%, isolated diastolic hypertension – 5.9%. The values of peripheral and central office systolic BP (SBP) before and after HD were not consistent with the corresponding mean and daily SBP levels for 44 hours and for the first and second days of the interdialysis period. The frequency of true uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AH) according to peripheral ABPM was 66.5%, masked uncontrolled AH – 9%. Circadian rhythm abnormalities for 44-h peripheral BP were detected in 77%, for central – in 76%. In 97% of patients agreement between phenotypes of the daily profile of peripheral and central BP was observed. 73% of patients had a significant increase in peripheral and central SBP and pulse pressure (PP) and an increase in the proportion of non-dippers from the 1st to the 2nd day.

Conclusion.Patients with ESRD on HD were characterized by poor control of BP control and predominance of unfavourable peripheral and central ambulatory BP phenotypes. A single measurement of clinical peripheral and central BP in the peridialysis period was not sufficient to assess the control of hypertension in this population. The 24-h BP profiles in the 1st and 2nd days of interdialysis period had significant differences.

Some theorists in counseling and psychotherapy have shown the importance of parenting styles in forming children personalities. Baumrind recommended three prototypes of parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. Parenting styles are associated with different levels of social and cognitive competence in children and adolescents. Hence with this background the following study was undertaken to understand the preferred parenting style practiced in the rural community of southern part of India. The objective of this study is to assess the parenting style practiced in the rural community and to assess the association of socio-demographic variables with the type of parenting styles practiced in rural community.Methods: It is a cross-sectional study, conducted in Basavanapura village of Hunasuru taluk of Mysuru district. 141 parents were selected by simple random sampling. Data was collected using parenting style questionnaire (PSQ). The questionnaire also included information on socio demographic variables. Data was analyzed using SPSS V.24. Analysis is done using descriptive statistics like percentage and inferential statistics like chi square analysis to find the association between socio demographic variables and preferred parenting styles.Results: The most preferred parenting style reported was authoritative (63.2%) followed by authoritarian (26.2%) and permissive (10.6%) types. Years of marriage was found to be significantly associated with preferred parenting styles.Conclusions: Nearly three fourth of the parents practiced authoritative parenting style with this type of parenting style adopted by parents having children less than twenty years.

In this paper we characterise ther-nuclearity of Fourier integraloperators on Lebesgue spaces. Fourier integral operators will be consideredinRn,the discrete groupZn,then-dimensional torus and symmetric spaces(compact homogeneous manifolds). We also give formulae forthe nucleartrace of these operators. Explicit examples will be given onZn,the torusTn,the special unitary group SU(2),and the projective complex planeCP2.Ourmain theorems will be applied to the characterization ofr-nuclear pseudo-differential operators defined by the Weyl quantization procedure.
Wheeling and dealing. The multiple networks of Umberto Zanotti-Bianco (1889-1963), social activist and dissident archeologist in fascist Italy
Authors: De Haan Nathalie
Published: September 2019

Umberto Zanotti-Bianco (1889-1963) was een Italiaans sociaal activist, antifascist, selfmade-archeoloog, en van 1952 tot aan zijn dood senatore a vita. Vanaf jonge leeftijd was hij actief in Zuid-Italië, met verbetering van de leefomstandigheden en verheffing van zijn landgenoten aldaar als doel. Hij was de medeoprichter en drijvende kracht van ANIMI en van een archeologisch genootschap dat het Griekse verleden van de Mezzogiorno centraal stelde, de Società Magna Grecia. Rode draad in zijn vele activiteiten vormen het belang van onderwijs, democratie en zelfbeschikkingsrecht, en aandacht voor archeologie, geschiedenis en erfgoed. Zijn openlijke antifascisme bracht hem in de jaren 1920 en 1930 steeds meer in conflict met het regime van Mussolini, maar ondanks herhaalde periodes van ballingschap binnen Italië (confino), het feit dat hij constant werd gevolgd door de politie en actieve obstructie van zijn activiteiten, slaagde hij er toch in, mede dankzij zijn omvangrijke netwerken, om enige speelruimte voor zichzelf en zijn werk te behouden.
Dante and the beatitudes: moral transformation in 'Purgatorio'
Authors: Ten Klooster Anton
Published: September 2019

Questo saggio presenta i riferimenti alle beatitudini evangeliche (Mt 5, 3-9) da parte di Dante come chiave di lettura per comprendere il motivo teologico del Purgatorio. Dopo la purgazione di un peccato mortale, un angelo proclama una beatitudine. Nella Divina Commedia, però, non è immediatamente chiaro quale sia la correlazione tra peccato, virtù, grazia e beatitudini. Dante conosceva le idee teologiche di Tommaso d’Aquino e di Bonaventura, e come loro esprimeva una preoccupazione per la felicità come fine ultimo dell’individuo umano. La sua dipendenza da questi teologi può spiegare la presenza delle beatitudini nel Purgatorio. In questo saggio si discutono le beatitudini come elemento strutturale per Dante, nonché le fonti teologiche a cui esse risalgono, al fine di capire meglio la relazione tra le beatitudini e i peccati purificati. Così, vediamo che le beatitudini preludono già, seppure in forma rudimentale, alla partecipazione alle cose celesti da parte dell’individuo umano.

The Art of Silence: Researching the Role of Silence in Nature Based Expressive Arts
Authors: Tegart Alexandra
Published: September 2019

This paper journeys into the aesthetics of silence in nature-based expressive arts practice and research. Explored is how nature-based expressive arts (EXA) therapy can help cultivate an embodied sense of silence to nourish and support frontline mental health workers in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, easing the stresses of assisting a population in the midst of an opioid and overdose crisis. The transformational effects of EXA are discussed as they relate to a short series of workshops with frontline mental health workers from Vancouver’s PHS Community Services Society. We collectively experienced how the phenomenon of silence can help provide a rich resource to care providers and, in turn, inform the nature of our research in vulnerable communities.
An Analysis of Student Performance at the Intersection of Diversity and Information Literacy
Authors: Johnson Nastasha E , Mentzer Nathan
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Objective – When teaching Information Literacy (IL) concepts, instructors often have no knowledge about the background or previous IL exposure of the students they are teaching.

This study aims to create a holistic picture of the students at a large Midwestern United States university in a first year introductory course on the design process for solving engineering problems.

Methods – Institutional data and course level data were traced and linked to individual students in an introduction to design thinking first year course. This course is at a major high research activity institution in the Midwestern United States. From a total course size of 650, institutional and course level data of 127 students were selected randomly and analyzed. Some data points are self-reported and some data points are performance-based.

Results – Underrepresented minorities (URMs) had a higher increase in IL score from assignment 1 to assignment 3 than non-URM students. However, non-URMs performed higher on both the first and the last assignments. Students in concurrent IL designated courses had a higher increase from assignments 1 to 3 than those not in simultaneous IL designated courses. Black and international students had the highest increases from assignments 1 to 3 of any demographic. Regarding IL, the fact that none of the students had been exposed to much IL instruction justified continued collaboration in the course between the instructor of record and the IL specialist. There were significantly negative correlations between the final grade and first-generation status. Legacy students also performed more poorly from assignments 1 to 3.

Conclusion – Students are more diverse in a single classroom setting than presumed prior to research; therefore, our instructional practices should be diverse and inclusive, as well. More preparation work and fact finding should be conducted by library faculty and instructors to facilitate the learning of the students, and not just the act of teaching. Librarians could ask for more information about the course demographics and respond accordingly. Librarians should also be properly trained in instructional practices to be better equipped to meet the expectations and challenges of teaching a diverse class.
Reuse of Wikimedia Commons Cultural Heritage Images on the Wider Web
Authors: Kelly Elizabeth Joan
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Objective – Cultural heritage institutions with digital images on Wikimedia Commons want to know if and how those images are being reused. This study attempts to gauge the impact of digital cultural heritage images from Wikimedia Commons by using Reverse Image Lookup (RIL) to determine the quantity and content of different types of reuse, barriers to using RIL to assess reuse, and whether reused digital cultural heritage images from Wikimedia Commons include licensing information.

Methods – 171 digital cultural heritage Wikimedia Commons images from 51 cultural heritage institutions were searched using the Google images “Search by image” tool to find instances of reuse. Content analysis of the digital cultural heritage images and the context in which they were reused was conducted to apply broad content categories. Reuse within Wikimedia Foundation projects was also recorded.

Results – A total of 1,533 reuse instances found via Google images and Wikimedia Commons’ file usage reports were analyzed. Over half of reuse occurred within Wikimedia projects or wiki aggregator and mirror sites. Notable People, people, historic events, and buildings and locations were the most widely reused topics of digital cultural heritage both within Wikimedia projects and beyond, while social, media gallery, news, and education websites were the most likely places to find reuse outside of wiki projects. However, the content of reused images varied slightly depending on the website type on which they were found. Very few instances of reuse included licensing information, and those that did often were incorrect. Reuse of cultural heritage images from Wikimedia Commons was either done without added context or content, as in the case of media galleries, or was done in ways that did not distort or mischaracterize the images being reused.

Conclusion – Cultural heritage institutions can use this research to focus digitization and digital content marketing efforts in order to optimize reuse by the types of websites and users that best meet their institution’s mission. Institutions that fear reuse without attribution have reason for concern as the practice of reusing both Creative Commons and public domain media without rights statements is widespread. More research needs to be conducted to determine if notability of institution or collection affects likelihood of reuse, as preliminary results show a weak correlation between number of images searched and number of images reused per institution. RIL technology is a reliable method of finding image reuse but is a labour-intensive process that may best be conducted for selected images and specific assessment campaigns. Finally, the reused content and context categories developed here may contribute to a standardized set of codes for assessing digital cultural heritage reuse.
Dewey Decimal Classification Trending Downward in U.S. Academic Libraries, but Unlikely to Disappear Completely
Authors: Patterson Jordan
Published: September 2019

A Review of:

Lund, B., & Agbaji, D. (2018). Use of Dewey Decimal Classification by academic libraries in the United States. Cataloging and Classification Quarterly, 56(7), 653-661. https://doi.org/10.1080/01639374.2018.1517851

Abstract

Objective – To determine the current use of Dewey Decimal Classification in academic libraries in the United States of America (U.S.).

Design – Cross-sectional survey using a systematic sampling method.

Setting – Online academic library catalogues in the U.S.

Subjects – 3,973 academic library catalogues.

Methods – The researchers identified 3,973 academic libraries affiliated with degree-granting post-secondary institutions in the U.S. The researchers searched each library’s online catalogue for 10 terms from a predetermined list. From the results of each search, the researchers selected at least five titles, noted the classification scheme used to classify each title, and coded the library as using Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), both DDC and LCC, or other classification schemes.

Based on the results of their data collection, the researchers calculated totals. The totals of this current study’s data collection were compared to statistics on DDC usage from two previous reports, one published in 1975 and one in 1996. The researchers performed statistical analyses to determine if there were any discernible trends from the earliest reported statistics through to the current study.

Main Results – Collections classified using DDC were present in 717 libraries (18.9%). Adjusting for the increase in the number of academic libraries in the U.S. between 1975 and 2017, DDC usage in academic libraries has declined by 56% in that time frame. The number of libraries with only DDC in evidence is unreported.

Conclusion – The previous four decades have seen a significant decrease in the use of DDC in U.S. academic libraries in favour of LCC; however, the rate at which DDC has disappeared from academic libraries has slowed dramatically since the 1960s. There is no clear indication that DDC will disappear from academic libraries completely.
