Mā te kimi ka kite, mā te kite ka mōhio, mā te mōhio ka mārama
Authors:   , Tamati George
Published: July 2022

Over the past 200-years, urbanisation has shaped how society resides in Aotearoa; particularly, where Indigenous Māori dwell. Concerning the west coast of Aotearoa, specifically Taranaki, urbanisation is no different. Within Taranaki, most Taranaki Māori reside in urban districts distant from their Indigenous origins, with some of these Māori not knowing their Indigenous foundations. Consequently, most Taranaki Māori are disconnected from the Taranaki landscape, thus detached from their tribal province and in part separated from their Taranaki Māori identity.

 To resolve this issue of cultural separation within the Taranaki region, this thesis develops Te Ara Mōhio. Te Ara Mōhio is a navigational framework for (re)connecting Taranaki Māori with their Indigenous identity through the spiritual essence of the Taranaki landscape. This study applies Te Ara Mōhio through design processes to develop various architectural interventions, where the driving force behind the architectural interventions is to provide a place where culturally detached Taranaki Māori can return and connect with the physical and spiritual essence of the Taranaki landscape.

 The site where these architectural interventions are situated is Taranaki te maunga, a culturally significant location with spiritual ties to Māori within the Taranaki rohe. By implementing said architecture(s) on Taranaki te maunga, the architecture(s) employ Te Ara Mōhio as a framework to connect occupants with the physical and spiritual essence of the maunga. Thus, facilitating the connection between culturally detached Taranaki Māori and the Taranaki landscape, resulting in the (re)connection of culturally detached Taranaki Māori with their Taranaki Māori identity.

This thesis demonstrates how architecture works to bridge and facilitate (re)connection with Indigenous identity by (re)connecting urban Taranaki Māori with the Taranaki landscape.
Transformation and Upgrading Development Strategy of Ceramic Industry Cluster in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Based on the Concept of Green Development
Authors: Hao Wei , Qing Yiyang , Chen Yong
Published: July 2022

On February 18, 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the ‘Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan’ where the Greater Bay Area will undergo green and low-carbon development with four major innovations, and there is the core competitiveness of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao to build a world-class bay area. In the past ten years, the ceramic industry, which belongs to the manufacturing industry, has formed an industrial cluster advantage in the Greater Bay Area. However, the continuous economic downturn in the international market, coupled with anti-dumping and other trade barriers, has impeded the export of ceramic industry products, and the domestic overcapacity and environmental. Additionally, the pressure of pollution has forced the government to issue various industrial policies and environmental protection policies to guide the upgrading and the transfer of the ceramic industry. The arising internal and external problems are restricting the improvement of the green innovation performance of the ceramic industry cluster in the Greater Bay Area under high-quality development. This paper analyzes the key factors which are restricting the improvement of green innovation performance of ceramic industry clusters in the Greater Bay Area. Further, a specific improvement path and policies for the high-quality development of the ceramic industry in the Greater Bay Area were proposed in this paper.
High-Quality Development of Ceramic Industry Clusters in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Based on Green Innovation
Authors: Li Jing , Shao Rundong , Chen Yong
Published: July 2022

In the past ten years, the ceramic industry which, belongs to the manufacturing industry, has formed an industrial cluster advantage in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in China. However, the continuous economic downturn in the international market, coupled with anti-dumping and other trade barriers, and the domestic overcapacity and environmental pollution pressure has impeded the export of ceramic industry products. The internal and external problems are restricting the improvement of green innovation performance of the ceramic industry cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the high-quality development. This project divides green innovation into several stages and levels for analysis, and establishes an evaluation index system in three dimensions: green economic benefits, technological innovation, and green development. Data on the factors affecting the high-quality development of the ceramic industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were extracted from databases such as CSMAR, WIND, RESSET, and CCER, followed by empirical tests. Finally, the specific improvement path for the high-quality development of the ceramic industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is obtained, and lastly the policy recommendations is proposed in the paper.
Chemical Change and Quality Control in Winemaking
Authors: Zhu Rui
Published: July 2022

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes that are greatly consumed in the modern society. Winemaking also known as vinification, is a process of converting fruit juice, in particular those from grapes into wine through the process called fermentation. The winemaking process involved many chemical changes, such as alcoholic fermentation, and malolactic fermentation (MLF). Microbiota which is used in the winemaking has great impact on the quality of wine, additionally, may cause negative attributes to some type of wines. Therefore, the modern wine industry tries its best to pay more attention to some critical quality control points to avoid off-flavors, and aim to produce wines with pleasant tastes with healthy substances, such as wine with antioxidant properties.
"You Gotta Admit You Had It Comin to You": Trauma, Gender Violence and Female Bonding in Marsha Norman’s Getting Out
Authors: Maika Aira Gallardo
Published: July 2022

During the 1970s, and especially during the 1980s and 1990s, gender violence began to receive the attention of literary theorists, who explored it from a variety of different perspectives. One such approach was Trauma Studies theory, which, from the 1990s onwards, established gender violence as the third significant site of psychological trauma, along with hysteria and shell-shock postwar trauma, and tried to explain the origins of gender violence using historical, sociological and psychological evidence. In this essay, I will adopt the theoretical basis provided by trauma studies to analyze a case of post-traumatic stress disorder presented on stage: the character of Arlene-Arlie in Marsha Norman’s play Getting Out (1978). This work offers an example of how the devastating effects of trauma transform a person to the extent of causing in her an identity crisis which forces her to remain on constant alert against anyone who tries to get close to her.
Fool for Love y la estirpe de fantaseadores del teatro de Sam Shepard
Authors: Ana Fernández-Caparrós Turina
Published: July 2022

Fool for Love (1983), una de las obras más conocidas y más representadas internacionalmente del repertorio shepardiano, dramatiza la controvertida relación sentimental entre May y Eddie. El siguiente artículo indaga en cómo se articula escénica y narrativamente la imposibilidad de su amor a través de la figura paterna de ambos, el personaje del Old Man, el Viejo, suspendido entre la imaginación y la realidad. Las implicaciones de la aparición del Viejo en escena para definir a su hijo como un fantaseador y el discurso en torno a la imaginación son analizados en relación a su convergencia con otros tropos que ya habían aparecido previamente en las obras familiares de Shepard Curse of the Starving Class (1977) y Buried Child (1978): la maldición de una herencia genética masculina, la repetición patriarcal y el incesto. El análisis, conducente a la identificación de toda una estirpe de fantaseadores, permite vislumbrar cómo el dramaturgo estadounidense, cuya obra dramática había explorado durante dos décadas la pluralidad, diversidad y labilidad de la actividad imaginativa en escena, exploraría a través de estos personajes la vertiente más nociva del potencial ilusorio de la imaginación.
Fashioning Identities and Building an Empire: Thomas Gage’s The English-American (1648) and English Puritan Proto-colonialism
Authors: Jesús López-Peláez Casellas
Published: July 2022

Thomas Gage, a seventeenth century English priest, traveler, and scholar was the first non-Spanish person to settle in, and travel extensively through, the Spanish Main. After his twelve-year experience as a Dominican in, mostly, Mexico and Guatemala, he returned to England and, after recanting, published his very popular The English-American, his Travail by Sea and Land, or, A New Survey of the West-India’s (1648).The success of this book (which rapidly went through several editions and translations) was mostly due to its coincidence, both in aim and content, with early seventeenth century English colonial ambitions —especially as devised by Oliver Cromwell in his so-called Western Design of 1655— to which it actively contributed. Gage’s successful retrospective construction of himself gained him a relatively influential position in Cromwell’s failed project to replace the Spaniards in the New World. In this paper I will examine how Gage’s insufficiently studied narrative influenced Cromwell’s military project, and will also focus on how this and similar writing produced a number of precarious and self-cancelling identities from which he tried to profit.

Anxiety and EFL speaking in Spanish compulsory and non-compulsory Secondary Education: A mixed-method study
Authors: Criado Raquel , Mengual Yáfar
Published: July 2022

This exploratory study aims to examine the relationship between language anxiety (LA) and the speaking skill for English as a Foreign Language in both Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) and (Upper) Non-compulsory Secondary Education (NCSE). A sequential explanatory mixed-method study was implemented with two intact classes (18 CSE and 19 NCSE students).  In the quantitative phase the 37 students’ LA levels were measured through the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope 1986) to analyse their relationship with their school speaking test scores, using bivariate correlation and stepwise linear regression analyses. Quantitative results revealed an inverse relationship between the students’ LA levels and the test scores; the predictive power of course level and fear of negative evaluation in the test scores and the absence of an increase of LA as a function of the students’ course level. In the qualitative phase, follow-up interviews were conducted with four subjects whose quantitative results had revealed a non-isomorphic pattern in the relationship between LA and the test scores (high/low, low/high). The qualitative results corroborated the significance of fear of negative evaluation and made the prominence of other factors more visible. Several pedagogical implications are indicated.
A data-driven learning experiment in the legal English classroom using the FLAX platform
Authors: Marín Pérez María José , Orts Llopis María Ángeles , Fitzgerald Alannah
Published: July 2022

This research presents a data-driven experiment in the legal English field where the FLAX, an open-source self-learning online platform, is assessed as regards its efficacy in aiding a group of legal English non-native undergraduates (divided into an experimental and a control group) to use legal terminology more consistently, amongst other language items. The experimental group were instructed to only resort to the FLAX and to exploit all the functionalities offered by it. Conversely, the control group could access any information source at hand except for the learning platform for the completion of the same task.  Two learner corpora were gathered and analysed on a lexical and pragmatic level for the evaluation of term usage and distribution, lexical diversity, lexical fundamentality and the use of discourse markers. The results display a tendency on the part of the experimental group towards a more consistent usage of legal terminology, which also appears to be better distributed than the terms in the non-FLAX corpus. In contrast and on average, the lexicon in the FLAX-based corpus tends to be slightly more basic. Concerning the use of MD markers, the experimental group appears to use, though marginally, a greater number of evidentials, endophoric and interactional markers.
Vowel Quality and Vowel Length in English as a Lingua Franca in Spain
Authors: Jurado-Bravo María Ángeles
Published: July 2022

In today’s globalised world, the use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) is a reality. Given the fact that pronunciation deviations from the native-speaker norm are one of the main causes of communication breakdown (Jenkins 2000), it feels necessary to investigate which aspects of pronunciation constitute a communication hindrance if produced in a non native-like manner and which may allow some variation without loss of intelligibility. This paper aims at contributing to the existing literature related to vowel quality and intelligibility in ELF. Our hypothesis is that vowel length distinctions alone cannot ensure the intelligibility of English spoken by Spanish speakers, but that vowel quality does play a role in avoiding communication breakdown. A panel of listeners from different countries completed an intelligibility test in which they listened to several sentences and filled in a gap by choosing the word they thought had been uttered. Results show that vowel length seems to be a crucial vocalic feature in the avoidance of miscommunications, but that vowel quality is also necessary to maintain intelligibility, contrary to what the original Lingua Franca Core (LFC) originally suggested.
Discursive Boundaries: Code-Switching as Representative of Gibraltarian Identity Construction in M.G. Sanchez’ Rock Black
Authors: Gerke Amanda Ellen
Published: July 2022

The British overseas territory of Gibraltar situated on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula has a population of 30 000 people with a variety of ethnic origins, languages, history, and political affiliations. The recent upsurge in Gibraltarian literature has served not only to draw attention to the dynamic and multifaceted nature of their identity but also to help in the task of identity construction on the part of the Gibraltarians themselves; there is an observable push and pull of affiliation not only in Gibraltar’s cultural artifacts, but also in its language. This article identifies the ways in which code-switching in M.G. Sanchez’ Rock Black represents the Spanish-British conflict, and views language choice as a tool in the construction of group-identity among contemporary Gibraltarians.
Gender Asymmetries in News Reports
Authors: Mañoso Pacheco Lidia
Published: July 2022

Women have traditionally been defined in journalistic studies as the ‘unaccessed voice group’ due to their underrepresentation in most media coverage, a fact commonly described in linguistics as ‘symbolic annihilation’ (Caldas-Coulthard 2002; Armstrong 2004). Although many scholars state that linguistic stereotypes have been weakening over time, there is a prevailing view that women are still experiencing linguistic discrimination in the age of digital storytelling. This paper discusses gender inequality by means of an in-depth study of females as sources of information in newspaper discourse, based on a corpus of 68 online news items published in four broadsheet British and Spanish newspapers: The Times, The Guardian, El Mundo and El País. The research mainly focuses on the possible relation between the gender of the source and that of the news reporter, as well as the tendencies in the depiction of female sources in reporting segments. The analysis reveals a continuing underrepresentation of women, though less noticeable in the Spanish news group. Contrary to possible expectations, both corpora coincide in defining female sources on a professional basis. The results also suggest that the predominance of male sources of information, rather than being tied to the ‘familiarity’ criterion, is institutionally biased.

On Hughes' Model for Pedestrian Traffic. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Kaldawi Fadi
Published: July 2022

In this thesis, we explore the modeling and application of the pedestrian fl w model proposed by Roger L. Hughes in 2002, a system of a hyperbolic conservation law to describe crowd densities (ρ) and an Eikonal equation to describe the path potential (φ) of this crowd: ρt − div(ρf 2(ρ)∇φ) = 0 ||∇φ|| =1 f(p) Throughout this work, we explain this model in the context of a one dimensional walking facility, like a bridge or a hallway, and a two dimensional one, such as an open room with obstacles and obstructions. We revisit the motivation for the model, as well as properties and qualities of the resulting weak entropy so- lutions, some of which will aid in understanding numerical results. After this, we describe numerical methods to use in order to solve the eikonal equation for the path potential, then use this quantity to solve the conservation law for the density after a certain time step. With these methods established, we proceed to provide meaningful simulations in both the 1D and 2D cases, describing what our results mean from a mathematical perspective, then a real-life explanation, alongside a brief critique of the simulated situations with comments on how to improve the walking facility conditions from a design perspective.
The Relationship between Aggregate Diversity and Employee Performance, mediated by Emotional Intelligence. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Baassiri Leen
Published: July 2022

pose: The primary purpose of this research is to study the mediating effect of Emotional Intelligence on the relationships between Aggregate Diversity and Task Performance, and Collegiality Performance in the workplace. It also aims to identify the factors of diversity in the workplace that may influence employee performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A conceptual model was designed and empirically tested using data collected via online questionnaires. The survey was randomly disseminated via mailers and WhatsApp to family members, friends and acquaintances in Lebanon and was subsequently circulated to their family members, friends and acquaintances in Lebanon. Therefore the exact number of recipients could not be calculated. The total number of collected responses was 311. Subsequently, 1 response was eliminated from the survey as the recipient did not want to participate. The scales used were tested on SPSS software, and the conceptual model was tested by applying the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling using the SmartPLS 3.2 software. Findings: The results indicated that Aggregate Diversity has a positive impact on Task Performance, and Emotional Intelligence, acting as a mediator, further strengthens this relationship. However, the relationship between Aggregate Diversity and Collegiality Performance was not proven, and neither was the mediating effect of Emotional Intelligence on this relationship. Originiality/value: The relationships in the proposed model and the findings of this research have major practical implications in today’s firms. Upon identifying the factors of diversity that impact employee performance, hiring managers can enhance the efficiency of the hiring process. Moreover, they can set a high standard for emotional intelligence and test for it in the interview phase.
Non-State Actors in Middle East Politics. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Ibhais Hasan
Published: July 2022

The role of non-state actors (NSAs) in international relations has gained increased attention over the course of the past decade. This is especially so in the Middle East where armed non-state actors proliferated. This thesis pursues a better understanding of the factors that contributed to the rise and resilience of such non-state actors through a comparative analysis of two of the longest standing armed non-state actors in the region: Hezbollah and Hamas. The thesis examines how internal and contextual factors, as well as alliance choices, have impacted the ability of these armed NSAs to mobilize resources to grow and maintain an active role in Middle East geopolitics. It argues that the failure of existing state structures to respond to a perceived external threat (the independent variable), or lack thereof, was the most essential element giving way to the emergence and growth of both armed NSAs. Moreover, the two NSAs’ degree of success in mobilizing necessary popular and material resources while evading the constrains of the state-centric system (the intervening variable) determined their ability to continue to perform an external defense/deterrence function (the dependent variable).

Grupy wierzycieli w Dyrektywie w sprawie ram restrukturyzacji zapobiegawczej
Authors: Witosz Aleksander Jerzy
Published: July 2022

Restrukturyzacja dłużnika jest procesem, który oddziałuje na interesy szerokiego kręgu wierzycieli. Tym samym układ unitarny, przewidujący jednolite zasady reorganizacji dla wszystkich wierzycieli, nie zawsze będzie rozwiązaniem najbardziej efektywnym. W takich sytuacjach koniecznością staje się kategoryzacja wierzycieli. Dyrektywa w sprawie ram restrukturyzacji zapobiegawczej odnosi się w szczegółach do powyższej kwestii, zwłaszcza w kontekście zasad tworzenia grup i kontroli tego procesu. Trwające prace nad implementacją Dyrektywy do prawa polskiego skłaniają tym samym do pochylenia się nad tytułowym zagadnieniem. Autor dokonuje analizy Prawa restrukturyzacyjnego pod kątem wymagań stawianych przez ustawodawcę europejskiego i proponuje wnioski de lege ferenda jako głos w dyskusji nad kierunkiem implementacji Dyrektywy.

Impact of COVID-19 on Nurse Practitioner Practice and Patient Presentation in Ontario: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Pittman Gina , Borawski Sylwia , Patel Twinkle , Dannawey Aya
Published: July 2022

Aim: To highlight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurse practitioner (NP) practice and their patient populations.

Background: Across Canada, the pandemic has caused strain on the health care system, health care providers, and patients. Many NPs continued to provide care to their patients via virtual methods as they were not permitted to assess patient in office. Lack of direct physical care was detrimental to both NPs and their patients.

Methods: A survey was distributed to 2,094 NPs practicing in Ontario between May and August 2020. After quantitative analysis a qualitative phase was conducted that involved one-on-one semi-structured interviews with 14 NPs who completed the survey and agreed to follow up.

Findings: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on patients and health care workers. Specifically, this study has found that NPs and patients have encountered many obstacles, such as isolation. Additionally, patients have delayed seeking care resulting in various disease progression due to concerns regarding contracting COVID-19. Finally, patients have experienced a decline in their mental health during the pandemic due to factors such as isolation.

Conclusion: The effects of the pandemic have been detrimental for both patients and providers as demonstrated in the interviews with NPs in this study. Follow up studies should explore the long-term effects of the pandemic.

The therapeutic potential of Nelumbo Nucifera against oxidative damage induced by Carbon Tetrachloride in rats.
Authors: Bibi Sagheera , Naz Lubna
Published: July 2022

Background: Herbal treatment has paid much attention in the world over the past decades. Nelumbo nucifera is used all over the world as a medicinal plant. It is an aquatic perennial plant belonging to the Nelumbonaceae family. The protective effects of Nelumbo nucifera are due to the active ingredients present in it. The study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of Nelumbo nucifera seeds against hepatotoxicity caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats. Methodology: Eighteen Wistar Albino rats were allotted into three groups (n=6), control group, CCl4 treated group given CCl4 0.8 ml/kg body weight subcutaneously twice a week, CCl4 + N. Nucifera treated group given CCl4 0.8 ml/kg body weight 2 times a week subcutaneously and also given Nelumbo nucifera extract (200 mg/kg body weight) orally through gavage daily. After 28 days of the experiment, serum samples were taken for estimation of enzyme activities and liver tissue samples were collected for evaluation of antioxidant enzyme levels. Results: It was observed that liver weight increased in the CCl4 treated group while liver weight decreased in CCl4 + N. Nucifera treated group. CCl4 administration significantly raises the transaminase levels such as Aspartate transaminase (AST) (p<0.01), Aspartate transaminase (ALT) (p<0.05), and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (p<0.05) whereas CCl4 + N. Nucifera treated group serum transaminases are reduced. Antioxidant activities such as Catalase (p>0.05), Glutathione (GSH) (p>0.05) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (p=0.05) decreased in the CCl4 treated group. Significant elevation of antioxidant enzymes; Catalase (p<0.05), GSH (p<0.05) and SOD (p>0.05) in CCl4 + N. Nucifera treated group. Serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration (p<0.05) significantly raised in the CCl4 hepatotoxic group compared to the control group. A decreased MDA levels were observed in the CCl4 + N. Nucifera treated group, indicating its potential to counteract the harmful effects of CCl4. Conclusion: This study suggests that Nelumbo nucifera seeds have overcome CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity by their antioxidant effects.
Políticas de igualdad de género e interseccionalidad: estrategias y claves de articulación
Authors: Jiménez Rodrigo María Luisa
Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es doble. Primero, realizar una revisión crítica de las principales estrategias de abordaje político de las desigualdades múltiples; y, segundo, identificar los puntos clave para la transversalización del marco interseccional en las políticas de igualdad de género. La metodología se basa en una revisión bibliográfica del estado de la cuestión y en el examen de distintos planes y programas de igualdad y no discriminación desarrollados en los contextos europeo y latinoamericano. Los resultados muestran las características de las principales estrategias políticas para abordar las desigualdades múltiples (unitaria expandida, múltiple e interseccional), así como sus posibilidades y limitaciones. También se evidencia la pertinencia de incorporar el enfoque interseccional en todas las fases del ciclo de las políticas (problematización, diagnóstico, diseño, procedimientos y evaluación). En conclusión, el enfoque interseccional permite acceder a colectivos y problemáticas situados en los cruces de las desigualdades, incrementando la eficiencia, equidad e inclusividad de las políticas de igualdad al acceder a cuestiones habitualmente ignoradas y subestimadas tras categorías unitarias.
Effects of HR management on employee environmental behaviour: The role of green organizational culture
Authors: Arzamasova Galina S. , Esaulova Irena A.
Published: July 2022

Employee environmental behaviour (EEB) is among the necessary conditions for implementing strategies and enhancing the performance of environmentally friendly organizations. However, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical research on the mechanism for forming such behaviours and the effects it suffers from the company’s internal environment. The article studies the relationship between the green human resources management (GHRM) practices and green organizational culture (GOC), as well as looks at the impact they have on the formation of employee environmental behaviour. The concepts of green human resource management, environmental behaviour and green organizational culture constitute the methodological basis of the study. The empirical base is the survey results of employees working in production and non-production divisions of the Russian oil and gas enterprises. Data analysis and hypothesis testing were based on structural equation modelling using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The research results show that HR practices with the mediated participation of GOC exert a strong impact on EEB demonstrated in the workplace and in voluntary initiatives and activities. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the cause-and-effect relationships between the company’s HRM activities and EEB and can be used to develop measures to formulate and promote green organizational policy.
Where are the frontiers of economics?
Authors: Dyatel Evgeny P.
Published: July 2022

. It is of paramount importance for any researcher to be at the forefront of the chosen research field. The paper studies the phenomenon of the frontiers of science serving as the starting point for a scientist ascending to qualitatively new results. Methodologically, the study rests on the system approach that assumes the dialectical unity of the assimilation of the concrete (Karl Marx) and using the method of alternatives (Karl Popper). Historically, the role of the starting point of economic theory was claimed by: 1) the most abstract concepts, such as labour, Homo economicus, etc.; 2) ostensive definitions of a commodity, an “ordinary person”, etc., allowing one to rely on personal (implicit) knowledge. An analysis of the methodology of scientific knowledge shows that, when ascending from the abstract to the concrete, there is a high probability of falling into the induction trap, which can be avoided through structural similarity (homomorphism) of the object and its theoretical representation (model). This approach allows identifying the functional characteristics of economic phenomena and processes, such as the correspondence of supply and demand in the Walrasian system of general equilibrium equations (the Arrow-Debreu model). The other approach is premised on faith, worldview, intuition, which stimulate qualitatively new hypotheses to be formulated. The two approaches interact and complement each other, forming a continuum of economic knowledge, where there are no clearly defined frontiers, and the genesis can, explicitly or implicitly, happen in each of the constituent elements forming a single whole (scientific article, dissertation, textbook, etc.). It is relevant for any scholar, and even more so for a lecturer, to hold a holistic view of the subject of the discipline under study, its relationship with other knowledge areas and reality.
Reference Management Software: a Comparative Analysis of Four Products.
Authors: Gilmour Ron , Cobus-Kuo Laura
Published: July 2022

Reference management (RM) software is widely used by researchers in the health and natural sciences. Librarians are often called upon to provide support for these products. The present study compares four prominent RMs: CiteULike, RefWorks, Mendeley, and Zotero, in terms of features offered and the accuracy of the bibliographies that they generate. To test importing and data management features, fourteen references from seven bibliographic databases were imported into each RM, using automated features whenever possible. To test citation accuracy, bibliographies of these references were generated in five different styles. The authors found that RefWorks generated the most accurate citations. The other RMs offered contrasting strengths: CiteULike in simplicity and social networking, Zotero in ease of automated importing, and Mendeley in PDF management. Ultimately, the choice of an RM should reflect the user's needs and work habits.

Infer More, Describe Less: More Powerful Survey Conclusions through Easy Inferential Tests.
Authors: Hightower Christy , Scott Kerry
Published: July 2022

Many librarians use data from surveys to make decisions about how to spend money or allocate staff, often making use of popular online tools like Survey Monkey. In this era of reduced budgets, low staffing, stiff competition for new resources, and increasingly complex choices, it is especially important that librarians know how to get strong, statistically reliable direction from the survey data they depend upon. This article focuses on three metrics that are easy to master and will go a long way toward making librarians' survey conclusions more powerful and more meaningful: margin of error (MoE), confidence Level (CL), and cross-tabulation table analysis. No complex mathematics or expensive software is required: two simple and free online calculators are introduced that will do the math for you. This article puts the power of improved survey analysis within reach of every librarian and includes eight recommended best practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Comparing Unique Title Coverage of Web of Science and Scopus in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
Authors: Barnett Philip , Lascar Claudia
Published: July 2022

The current journal titles in earth and atmospheric sciences, that are unique to each of two databases, Web of Science and Scopus, were identified using different methods. Comparing by subject category shows that Scopus has hundreds of unique titles, and Web of Science just 16. The titles unique to each database have low SCImago Journal Rank Indicators (Scopus) and Impact Factors (Web of Science), thus indicating that the unique titles play a minor role within this discipline. An author affiliation search reveals that both databases cover most of the important literature in earth and atmospheric sciences. In subject searches, the titles unique to each database depend upon the specific topic searched. Most of the earth and atmospheric sciences doctoral-granting institutions in the United States subscribe to Web of Science rather than Scopus, while some institutions apparently consider these databases complementary, and subscribe to both of them, in spite of their high subscription costs. Our method of comparing large numbers of titles among different databases needs only a word processor and is readily applicable to any subject area or applicable even to the entire lists of journals in any set of databases.

How Much Is Enough? Examining Computer Science and Civil Engineering Citation Data to Inform Collection Development and Retention Decisions in Three Large Canadian University Libraries.
Authors: Spence Michelle , Mawhinney Tara , Barsky Eugene
Published: July 2022

Science and engineering libraries have an important role to play in preserving the intellectual content in research areas of the departments they serve. This study employs bibliographic data from the Web of Science database to examine how much research material is required to cover 90% of faculty citations in civil engineering and computer science. Bearing in mind the importance of access to current as well as past research, as well as the issue of space in libraries, the study evaluates citations from one year's worth of research output from faculty in three prominent Canadian universities with departments in civil engineering and computer science: University of Toronto, University of British Columbia and McGill University for the purpose of best aligning collection development activities with science and engineering research needs. The findings for all three institutions combined show that 25 years of computer science literature is needed to cover 90% of researchers' citations, whereas 30 years of materials are needed for civil engineering. We also found that the citation data is not only discipline specific, but also location specific, and a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate when making collections and retention decisions.

A Comparison of E-book and Print Book Discovery, Preferences, and Usage by Science and Engineering Faculty and Graduate Students at the University of Kansas.
Authors: Waters Julie , Roach Jennifer , Emde Judith , McEathron Scott , Russell Keith
Published: July 2022

The availability of science and technology e-books through the University of Kansas Libraries is growing rapidly through approval plans, e-book packages, and electronic demand-driven acquisitions. Based on informal conversations with faculty, questions still lingered as to the acceptance of books in the electronic format by faculty and graduate students in the STEM disciplines. To learn more about book format preferences, a survey was distributed via e-mail to :898 faculty and graduate students in science and technology at the University of Kansas. The survey included questions focused on print book use, e-book use, format preferences, and demographics. A majority of the 357 respondents indicated a preference for print books indicating many of the oft-repeated comments about the disadvantages of reading books on a computer. Patrons using tablets were more inclined to access e-books. The survey indicated a continuing need to purchase books in both print and electronic formats, and to market the availability of e-books to University of Kansas patrons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
