Published: October 2024

This study revolves around the Tongling Grand Canyon Scenic Area of Jingxi City, China, regarding the effect of tourism experience and travel memory on revisit intention. Due to its lesser popularity, China’s domestic tourism is not flourishing. Tongling Grand Canyon’s study tries to find the answer to the problem. With the help of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, this research examines how various dimensions of tourism experiences, particularly enjoyment, socialisation, participation, learning, relaxation, escape and challenge, will influence tourists' desire to revisit. The moderating effect of travel memory on revisit intention is also explored. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 411 subjects in Guangxi province. Results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that as travel memory positively affects revisit intention, its most significant contributor is enjoyment and sociability. The results provide insights into how tourism managers should promote domestic tourist destinations by prioritising their enjoyment and sociability dynamics.

Experimental Study on Surge Overtopping Process of Earthen Embankments and Calculation of First Surge Wave Discharge
Authors: Tao Yuan
Published: October 2024

The landslide-induced surge overtopping of embankments not only causes damage to the dam body but also poses a threat to downstream life and property. This paper explored the process of surge overtopping caused by landslides through model experiments, calculated the first surge wave overtopping discharge using empirical formulas, and evaluated the overtopping discharge at Vajont Dam in Italy. The study revealed that the first wave of landslide-induced surge carried higher energy than subsequent waves, and the surge waves action on the downslope of the embankment was non-uniform. The subsequent surge waves will cause localized "rills" on the dam body, and if there were enough subsequent surge waves, these "rills" may connect and ultimately lead to the failure of the embankment. The first surge wave overtopping discharge per unit width obtained in the experiments was 0.274 m2/s. According to geometric similar, the overtopping discharge of the Italian dam was as high as 682,830 m3/s.

Abnormal hyperphosphorylation and microtubule-associated protein tau aggregation development in the brain are characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases referred to as tauopathies, which include Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current review summarizes the complex relationships that exist between oxidative stress and tau illness, with particular attention to the roles played by the tau protein, reactive oxygen species and their consequences, and tau phosphorylation and oxidative stress. Two key elements of detrimental cycle that are critical in neurodegenerative tauopathies are tau hyperphosphorylation and oxidative stress. When tau and microtubules are not connected properly, microtubule instability, issues with microtubule transport, and ultimately neuronal death result. While the causes of the more prevalent sporadic late-onset variants and the connections between tau hyperphosphorylation and neurodegeneration remain largely unknown, mutations in the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene have been identified in familial cases of early-onset tauopathies. Another detrimental feature of tauopathies is oxidative stress, but the exact role it plays in the development of the disease is unclear. The source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which lead to oxidative stress within neural tissue, remains an unresolved topic. Although mitochondria have historically been thought to be a primary source of oxidative stress, microglial cells have recently been discovered to create reactive oxygen species in tauopathies. In conclusion, enhancing our comprehension of the impact of oxidative stress on various diseases could facilitate the identification of new disease markers and lead to the formulation of treatment strategies aimed at halting, reversing, or mitigating disease progression.

Authors: Berestov Oleksandr
Published: October 2024

The study of the evolution of development and implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries is relevant in view of the growing role of information and knowledge in society, changing user needs, and the need to increase the competitiveness of libraries. The purpose of the study is to analyse the stages of introducing technological innovations into the work of libraries and the impact of new digital technologies on the services provided by libraries. The study used such methods as analysis, generalisation, explanation, and classification. A review of methods and stages of technological innovations was conducted, and articles by contemporary scientists and researchers who dealt with the issues of library technological innovations were analysed. The impact and prospects of the latest technologies in the work of libraries were investigated. The introduction of technologies raises several ethical issues, such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and the impact on freedom of speech. Technological progress opens up great opportunities for libraries. Artificial intelligence can automate routine tasks, improve information retrieval, and personalise services for users. Virtual and augmented reality will allow the creation of interactive educational and cultural programs, conducting virtual tours of libraries and museums. Blockchain can provide secure and transparent data management, as well as protect copyrights. Technological progress has expanded access to information resources beyond the physical walls of the library. E-books, online databases, and digital archives have made vast collections remotely accessible, especially valuable in geographically dispersed regions. Modern trends in the implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries include the use of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain. This research aims to help Ukrainian libraries successfully implement technological innovations to better serve their users and meet the needs of society in the digital age

Authors: Patriak Oleksandra
Published: October 2024

The digital society is characterised by the use of various technologies and exhibits diverse developmental trends. Digitalisation facilitates everyday life and enhances business process efficiency. The research aims to identify the origins of the digital society, assess its current state of development and future prospects, and analyse the impact of digitalisation on social life. The methodology is based on scientific research principles, employing general scientific methods of cognition, critical analysis, observation, and synthesis. The article reveals the role and significance of artificial intelligence in the development of the digital society and the potential problems and risks of its use: the generation and dissemination of misinformation, risks of violating personal privacy, risks of increasing inequality, and the emergence of ethical dilemmas in the use of artificial intelligence. It is concluded that alongside the opportunities opened up by the digital society, there are challenges and threats. These include overcoming the information crisis, recognising the priority of information compared to other resources, and forming a new sector of the information economy. Alongside these benefits, challenges arise, such as the impact of digital communication channels, the intrusion of technology into private life, and issues concerning the reliability of information. Ensuring cybersecurity and privacy is becoming a crucial and pressing task. It is also necessary to ensure responsible use of technology and artificial intelligence to avoid negative consequences such as inequality in access to technology and job losses due to digital transformation. While there is great potential for using technology to improve lives, its development and implementation must be carefully managed to maximise benefits and minimise risks. This will require global cooperation, responsible policies, ethical approaches, and the preparation of citizens for the realities of the digital world

They can also be useful for replenishing the information base on the organisation and development of reference and bibliographic services in libraries
The role of Ukrainian zemstvos in the formation of their public library space
Authors: Verkhovtseva Iryna
Published: October 2024

This research into the participation of local self-government bodies in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries in the formation of Ukraine’s public library space is crucial given the need to study the factors that influenced the creation of Ukrainian book culture, national consciousness, and state-building. This study aims to characterise the role of Ukrainian zemstvo self-government bodies in the establishment of the Ukrainian public library space during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientific rigour, historicism, sociocultural and modernisation approaches, as well as general scientific (induction, logic, analysis, synthesis) and specifically historical methods: narrative, historical-genetic, and structural-functional analysis. The cultural and educational development of the Ukrainian village by zemstvos, a component of which was their public library work, from the 1860s until the fall of the Russian Empire, was a major direction of activity of these self-governing institutions, upon whose success the national progress of Ukrainians depended. In this sphere, the foundation was laid for the future public space of the Dnieper Ukraine. The establishment, at the expense of zemstvos and through their organisational efforts, of public libraries with broad, free access for all village residents, alongside the development of rural schools, was the alpha and omega of peasant Ukrainian life at that time. It shaped the region’s book culture and elevated the social activity of the largest social class. Thanks to the democratic zemstvo intelligentsia, during the revolution of 1905-1907, demands were made to increase the network of rural libraries, cooperation between zemstvos and Prosvitas expanded, and the Ukrainian printed word became more entrenched. The emergence of peasant republics in 1905, one of which was in Sumy, where peasants published a newspaper declaring the tsarist authority abolished, against the backdrop of zemstvo achievements in expanding the network of public libraries and education, demonstrated that the early 20th century marked an intensification of public library development in Ukrainian villages. This period also saw the maturation of the national consciousness among peasants and laid the groundwork for the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921, a pivotal stage in Ukraine’s state-building efforts. The study of this topic will contribute to understanding the role of local self-government bodies in the functioning of Ukraine’s public library space under modern conditions, national identification among Ukrainians, and their consolidation in the face of hostile invasions
Beyond classrooms: unlocking the full sustainability potential of school buildings through adaptable ventilation design : stakeholder discussions, flexible building usage and the role of ventilation
Authors:   , Seuntjens Oskar
Published: October 2024

While school buildings have the potential to form the heart of a local community, they remain unused for a large amount of time outside school hours. As a result, substantial environmental, economic and social benefits are not being capitalized. From an environmental point of view, using existing infrastructure more extensively is in line with the principles of the circular economy and avoids new waste streams. Next, letting school infrastructure can yield new revenue streams for school boards which can be used to invest in educational material or school infrastructure. Finally, several studies have shown that involving the local community in school activities strengthens the social cohesion and leads to better educational performances. One of the main reasons that this potential is not being exploited is due to the school infrastructure. A more extensive school building usage also implies a more flexible building usage. In order to facilitate a flexible building usage, adaptable infrastructure is required. During recent years, a great amount of research has been conducted in the field of adaptable buildings. However, it remains unclear how technical services, and ventilation in particular, can facilitate a flexible building usage in a sustainable manner. Therefore, this research aims to understand which ventilation strategies are best suited to facilitate a more extensive school building use from an environmental and economic point of view.

Authors: Maqbool Irum , Rafiq Rumesha , Asif Azka
Published: October 2024

Spoilage of canned food is a major issue worldwide. The major cause of spoilage of food in cans is due to bacterial contamination as a result of mishandling, damage or improper packaging treatment. To avoid spoilage and increase the shelf-life of canned food, various food preservatives are used. However, it is ideal to use specific preservatives for specific foods. There is a need to check the types of the organisms causing the food spoilage and the preservatives that can be used against them. The current study focuses on the isolation of facultative anaerobic bacterial species which are specifically involved in spoilage of canned food items, their characterization and effectiveness of different food preservatives against them. For this propose samples were taken from expired peas, meat, and pineapple cans. Each sample was cultured on Acid agar, Mannitol salt agar, DTPB agar, and EMB agar. The bacterial colonies were purified and characterized morphologically and biochemically. The effectiveness of food preservatives such as ascorbic acid, sodium benzoate, sodium propionic acid and sodium nitrite was analyzed on the isolated strains. Selected isolates were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Facultative anaerobes belonging to the genera Leucobacter and Exiguobacterium were identified in the expired food cans. Among the tested food preservatives, ascorbic acid was proved highly effective as it inhibited the growth of these organisms. Facultative anaerobes plays an important role in canned food spoilage and by utilizing specific food preservatives these microbes can be minimized.

Difícil es ganar la libertad, pero fácil es perderla. Los españoles damos por sentada y asentada la democracia en nuestro país, a menudo sin percatarnos de que su preservación exige de todos y cada uno de nosotros un esfuerzo constante, sin bajar la guardia en ningún momento. Pues bien, a este propósito contribuye este libro publicado por la editorial Colex. Una obra polifónica en la que ha participado un selecto grupo de intelectuales, la mayoría pertenecientes al mundo del derecho y del periodismo, donde se alerta contra las amenazas que se ciernen sobre la independencia de nuestra Justicia. Sus páginas contienen una sistemática denuncia de los ataques contra el Poder Judicial español, desde los más groseros, como el control político de la investigación criminal o la arbitrariedad en la designación de los altos cargos judiciales, hasta los más taimados, como los tribunales de instancia o la opacidad en la formación de los magistrados. Sus autores no se contentan con la mera crítica, sino que aportan soluciones prácticas y realistas para remediar este preocupante estado de cosas, iniciativas estas de las que se hace eco la Plataforma Cívica por la Independencia Judicial, prestigiosa asociación ciudadana presidida por el profesor don Francisco Sosa Wagner, la cual lleva más de un decenio revelando ante la opinión pública la cara oculta de una Justicia ensombrecida por la política.

O Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) é definido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde como intolerância a carboidratos de gravidade variável, que se inicia durante a gestação atual e não preenche os critérios diagnósticos de diabetes mellitus. Este trabalho objetiva observar a atuação de enfermeiros junto a gestantes com diabetes gestacional na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória-descritiva, por meio da abordagem quantitativa. A pesquisa ocorreu nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município de Tianguá, Ceará, Brasil, de agosto a dezembro de 2020. Enfermeiros atuantes nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, independentemente do tempo de atuação constituíram os critérios de inclusão. Para coleta dos dados, utilizou-se de questionário validado e adaptado para esta pesquisa. A maioria dos enfermeiros participantes tinham entre um e cinco anos de atuação, eram do sexo feminino, com idade em média de 25 a 45 anos.  Identificou-se discordância no rastreamento do DMG, em que considerável parte dos enfermeiros não solicitavam TTOG entre 24 e 28 semanas, alguns não faziam orientações sobre a importância da atividade física e não houve padronização nas condutas realizadas durante a assistência à gestante com diabetes. Enfermeiros precisam de atualizações constantes, pois, de acordo com os achados, foi perceptível que alguns apresentaram dificuldades quanto à prática e rotina de protocolos relacionadas à assistência a gestantes com DMG. Logo, recomenda-se educação permanente, que se configura como grande aliada para melhoria da assistência, possibilitando a mudança deste cenário.
