Library Usage Study, the How and What: A Survey of Space Usage at a Mid-Sized Research Library
Authors: Nichols Aaron , Philbin Paul
Published: December 2022

Objective – The research was conducted to understand better how and what spaces are used in a mid-size academic library. Also, the authors were interested in their users' spatial likes and dislikes and why they gravitated to or avoided specific spaces or floors. The authors also found an opportunity to examine recent renovations that added a connector bridge to a first-year student dorm and the subsequent increase in foot traffic to evaluate its success in meeting users' needs for varied and productive study spaces across the building.
Methods – The study used a survey to gauge user satisfaction with the library's space and environment for research, study, and collaborative work. The authors hand-distributed a survey with five multiple-choice and three open-response questions to users over three days (Monday-Wednesday) between 10 am - 4 pm, the busiest days and times in a typical week. The collected surveys were sorted and coded in an Excel spreadsheet and uploaded and analyzed in JMP Pro.
 Results – The 298 completed responses came from undergraduate students (n=281) who visited the first floor, identified as a collaborative study space (n=144). Respondents showed that they visit the library daily (58%, n=173) and weekly (34%, n=104). Most of the survey participants (98%, n=293) indicated that they pursued academic work in quiet spaces they occupied (75%, n=224). Interestingly enough, the noisiest and quietest floors are the areas most avoided, the first floor-collaborative, noisiest space (54%, n=161) and the third floor-designated as quiet space (18%, n=55). The final survey question invited the respondents to "sound off," with 135 responding; 107 (79%) of them opined on improvements to existing study spaces within the library.
 Conclusion – This research demonstrated that students value the library as a place to study but are critical of excessive noise and overcrowding in the designated collaborative study areas. Academic libraries should consider balance when designing library study spaces. Librarians and space designers should strive to strike an appropriate balance between seating quality and quantity, acceptable noise levels in designated collaborative and quiet study spaces, and the impacts of environmental factors such as printers, food services, exhibits, art displays, restrooms, and walkways through library study spaces within the library.

Authors: Kachalla Nafisat Adamu , Isa Halima , Bashir Mohammed , Sahabo Saadatu A
Published: December 2022

Cosmetics products are external preparations normally applied to human body parts mainly for beautification. These products are potential reservoirs of infection due to contamination by microbes. The bacteriological quality of different cosmetic products sold within Yola, Adamawa state Nigeria was determined by isolation and antibiotic susceptibility profiling of bacterial isolates. The work was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, Modibbo Adama University Yola Adamawa state Nigeria between February 2021 and July 2021. A total of 30 samples from 5 different categories of cosmetics (powder, mascara, foundation, lipstick and body cream) were assessed. Detection and identification of bacteria were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Bacterial load was determined by direct colony count and the antibiotic susceptibility profile of each isolates was determined following the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using fourteen antibiotics. Out of the 30 samples analyzed, 86.5 % were contaminated, with bacterial load ranging from 1.0 x 103 to 20.0 x 103 cfu/g. Bacterial isolates obtained includes Staphylococcus aureus (42.3 %), Escherichia coli (23 %) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15.3 %), Klebsiella (7.7 %) and Salmonella (11.5 %). Antibiotic susceptibility testing indicated that isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were mostly resistant. It was depicted that resistance to Chloramphenicol and tetracycline was 100 % while a significant number of the isolates were sensitive to Rifampicin, Amoxicillin and Norfloxacin. The various cosmetics found on the shelves of Yola market are contaminated with different pathogenic bacterial species with different occurrence rate as well as susceptibility pattern.

Published: December 2022

Online shopping has become more and more a part of our everyday lives, with e-commerce volumes growing exponentially in recent years. In addition to e-commerce, the use of social media sites is an integral part of our lives and has a significant impact on our shopping. Our objective is to examine online shopping habits and the factors that influence them. To achieve our research objective, we conducted an online questionnaire survey with 477 respondents. Our results show that there are generational differences in the frequency of online shopping, browsing online stores and monthly spending on online shopping. In addition to online shopping, members of the younger generation browse online shops more frequently, while Generation X is characterised by higher average monthly spending. The online shoppers in our sample perceive online purchases as easy to make from the comfort of their own homes, avoiding large crowds. In addition, online shopping is significantly influenced by various social media sites, which provide access to information and opinions from other consumers. From the results, we can conclude that e-commerce companies need to develop and implement differentiated marketing actions based on their target group. For example, in the case of products or services targeted at women, it may be appropriate to include influencers in various advertising campaigns, given that women pay a lot of attention to social media when searching for and evaluating alternatives.

Justicia comunal en los andes del Perú : el caso de Calahuyo
Authors: Peña Jumpa Antonio
Published: December 2022

Nuestro libro es, ante todo, un trabajo etnográfico; un testimonio de lo judicial en la microrregión en la que se encuentra situada Calahuyo. Por ello, lo central del estudio se remite a las partes II y III. En éstas se presenta y desarrolla a la justicia de Calahuyo, tal como el autor la ha apreciado en sus dos planos: el plano de la valoración o abstracción de lo que los comuneros conciben como "justo" en sus relaciones económicas, sociales, culturales y hasta históricas (desarrollado en la parte II) y el plano de la materialización o reivindicación de lo que los comuneros conciben como "justo" ante sus conflictos (desarrollado en la parte III). Es probable que esta última sea la parte que más se familiarice con el título del libro, y reconocemos que es aquella parte respecto de la cual estuvimos mejor preparados para afrontar los problemas derivados.

Authors: Krisdianto Arif Yudo , Sartohadi Junun , Nurudin Makruf
Published: December 2022

Background: Soil physical properties have not been widely discussed as the main factor of evapotranspiration. This study aimed to see the relationship between land and soil physical factors on the evapotranspiration rate that occured at each slope position. Methods: Sampling and measurements were carried out on three slope zones in a landscape, i.e. the upper slope (erosion zone), the middle slope (transition zone) and the lower slope (deposition zone). The soil sampling was carried out to analyze the soil physical properties. The evapotranspiration rate was measured using a modified chamber in two measurement periods. It was carried out throughout the day since the sun started shining the land until sunset or until the sunlight were blocked by rain clouds. Result: The average daily evapotranspiration rate was 0.17 mm hr-1 with the lowest value was 0.02 mm hr-1 and the highest 0.62 mm hr-1. Slope position and slope arrangement were the key factors influencing other controlling factors for the rate of evapotranspiration, including vegetation and soil physical properties.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. This study was carried out in order to adapt a measurement tool into Turkish developed to measure Individual Creativity (IC) levels of individuals. The sample of the study comprised of two different study groups, A total of 164 female (35.3%) and 301 male (64.7%) total 465 Ministry of Youth and Sports employees took part in the study. The Individual Creativity Scale (13 items) developed by Zhou and George (2001) was used as a measurement tool in the study. EFA and DFA were used in the analysis of the factor structure of the measurement tool. In addition, CR and AVE values were calculated to determine whether the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale was achieved. In order to test the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach alpha (α) internal consistency coefficient was calculated. After the EFA, the 13-items structure preserved itself with an explanation rate of 64.93%. In the CFA phase, 11-items single-factor structure confirmed itself. In the calculation of the internal consistency coefficients of CR, AVE and Cronbach alpha (α) in the final version of the scale, the values were found to be within the criterion value range. As a result, it is possible to say that Turkish version of the Individual Creativity Scale is a valid and reliable scale.
Palenque en la visión romántica de los siglos XVIII y XIX
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas, Romero Sandoval Roberto
Published: December 2022

En 1746, un acontecimiento marcará un hito entre las futuras investigaciones sobre los mayas: el descubrimiento de una antigua y espectacular ciudad en ruinas oculta en medio de la selva chiapaneca, que fue nombrada Palenque por su cercanía a un poblado con el mismo nombre. Las primeras exploraciones oficiales estarán a cargo de José Antonio Calderón, Antonio Bernasconi y Antonio del Río, que despertaron el interés por las ruinas. En el siglo XIX Palenque se convirtió en el centro de atracción de viajeros, exploradores, artistas, anticuarios y aventureros, como Guillermo Dupaix, Juan Galindo, Francis Corroy, Jean Frédéric Waldeck, Patrick Walker, John Herbert Caddy, John Lloyd Stephens, Frederick Catherwood y Désiré de Charnay, que analizaron y documentaron cada uno de los edificios que han hecho famoso al sitio. ¿Quienes fueron los constructores de Palenque? Contrario a quienes, como se verá en este libro, negaron la paternidad del sitio a los indígenas mayas de la región, este libro muestra diversas interpretaciones que son el cimiento del conocimiento actual que tenemos sobre los mayas.

Authors: Zubok Yuliya , Seliverstova Nina
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the goals, which the Russian youth think are important to achievement for the best future of the country. Their foundations are the ideas of young people about the meanings of different aspects of reality - affordable qualified health care as a guarantee of a high quality of life; families as the basis of confidence and security; living space as an environment for a comfortable life; labor as a source of material well-being; balance of rights and obligations of citizens as a factor in the consolidation of society; education as a condition for social advancement; an active civil society as a condition for democratization in the country; authorities capable of ensuring the achievement of these goals as a guarantee of the country's sustainable development. The priority goals that are mostly significant are a strong family, living space, high-quality healthcare, and effective government. The differentiation of these goals by groups of young people depending on gender, age, education, financial situation, type of settlement has shown sustainability of these ideas. An analysis of the connection between young people's ideas about goals that are significant for the future of the country, with a self-assessment of changes in their living conditions, showed a deterioration in terms of the financial situation of the family, job security, employment, medical care, recreation conditions, with some improvement in the same indicators. The relationship of these indicators with positive and negative emotional states of young people - reliability, confidence, anxiety, indignation, anger, indifference and confusion was revealed. The main factors in the regulation of stress are mainly changes in the material conditions of family life and guarantees of employment and employment.
Social consolidation in the modern city in the development of digital communications
Authors: Rogachev Sergey , Gorlov Konstantin
Published: December 2022

The issues of social consolidation in a modern city are considered in the context of the development of digital communications. The author explores the information and communication aspect of modern practices of consolidation of citizens, the impact of the processes of globalization and digital transformation of society on the level of social consolidation. Along with new opportunities, digitalization also carries negative socio-economic and political consequences and risks. The expansion of social inequality and social disintegration are put forward in the first place. The solution to the problem lies in the adoption by society and the authorities of a new communication paradigm. New public digital consolidation spaces– digital platforms, messengers and social networks– are coming to replace the classic urban communication clusters localized on a spatial basis. The paper considers new parameters of communicative interaction, features of communication between government and society in the context of digital transformation. This is a change in the pace of communication, the development of self-regulation mechanisms and an increase in the interest of citizens in informal practices of participation in public life, a change in their role from consumers to content generators, the emergence of new discursive strategies, and more. The article concludes that it is participation in communications in the digital space that provides modern citizens with effective decision-making practices, participation in socio-political processes and social consolidation.

Quality Control Compliance as an Environmental Response to Sustainability in the Nigerian Construction Industry
Authors: Ibim Amadi Alolote , Chijioke Amadi Kelvin
Published: December 2022

The concept of sustainability has become integral to the environmental dialect within the building construction industry. At present, providing an avenue by which the construction industry can meet its sustainability obligations has remained a topical issue globally. An environmentally oriented movement toward sustainability in building construction, however, still hinges on the traditional principles of cost, quality, and performance. This paper x-rays the unethical performance traits evident in the construction industry in Nigeria and the project delivery practices by indigenous firms that significantly influence the quality and thus the sustainability of construction output. Issues associated with quality control compliance are statistically analysed to determine existing trends. Multivariate analysis is deployed to measure the degree to which quality control parameters explain the participation level of indigenous local contractors in executing government projects. The study mathematically expresses the relationship between quality control adherence and indigenous participation in the execution of government contracts. The statistical analysis shows that the five quality control independent variables (internal organizational factor; the level of enlightenment; adequacy of designs; conducting of relevant tests and supervisory adherence) explain 47% of the variation in the level of indigenous participation. Poor quality control associated with the execution of contracts by indigenous construction companies in Nigeria may thus partly account for the low level of indigenous participation evident in the construction industry.

Finansal teknolojilerin, 4. Endüstri devriminin tetiklemesiyle hızlı gelişimi, tüketicilerin harcama davranışlarında değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Bu değişime uygun olarak, Şimdi al sonra öde (BNPL) sistemi değişen müşteri ihtiyaçları sonrası ortaya çıkan yeni bir ödeme sistemi teknolojisidir. BNPL nakit borç vermeye değil, ürün ya da hizmet almaya yönelik bir yöntemdir. E-ticaret sitesinde ya da fiziki mağazada beğenilen ürün ya da hizmetin ödemesini uygun kişilere hızlıca sağlamak esastır. Örneğin bir tatil paketi alımında tur şirketleri BNPL yöntemi ile tüketiciye kredi kartı limitinden düşmeden ya da kredi kullandırmadan ödeme yapma olanağı sağlayabilmektedir. Ürün sahibi işletme BNPL kredisini bankalar aracılığı ile ve yapacağı ikili anlaşmalar doğrultusunda sağlamaktadır. Müşteri ise anlaşmalı bankaların sistemlerinden firma ismi ve ürün kategorisi belirterek BNPL kredi talebinde bulunmaktadır. Eş zamanlı olarak ilgili banka da müşterinin BNPL kredisi için uygun olup olmadığını belirlemek için güvenilirlik skorlaması yapmaktadır ve yüksek skoru olan müşteriye BNPL kullandırtmaktadır. Klasik krediden ayrılan en önemli noktalardan biri hedef müşteri kitlesidir. Klasik kredi skorlamalarında kişinin güvenilirliği belirlenirken kişinin bordrosu, daha önceki kredi/kredi kartı ödemelerindeki düzen, ipotek edebileceği mülkler ve benzeri şeyler dikkate alınır. Bu nedenle bordrolu olarak çalışmayan, hiçbir finansal kuruluşla daha önce etkileşimi olmayan, kredi puanlaması oluşmamış ya da düşük olan kullanıcıların kredi ya da kredi kartı erişimi kısıtlı olmaktadır. Bu kişilere harcamaya bağlı olarak kısa vadeli borç verme olarak görülebilecek kredi olanağı sağlanmaktadır. Hedef müşteri kitlesi arasında farklılıklar olduğu için klasik kredi skorlamaları BNPL’ye başvuran müşterilerin güvenilirlik açısından skorlamasında yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu nedenle BNPL sisteminin en önemli gereksinimi tüketicilerin güvenilirlik skorlamasının yapılmasıdır. Mevcut durumda BNPL alanında yapılmış çalışmalar kısıtlı olup, BNPL odaklı yeterli bir skorlama sistemi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, finansal teknolojilerin önemli bir alanı olan ödeme sistemleri kapsamında, BNPL sistemi üzerine, mevcut durum analizi, fırsatlar ve zorluklar ile skorlama ihtiyacı üzerine sistematik bir yaklaşım sunulmaktadır.

Les travaux étudiant la relation entre l’élevage des bovins et la qualité des carcasses ou de la viande portent généralement sur l’effet de facteurs d’élevage (de la période de finition) pris individuellement. Peu de recherches traitent de l’effet des pratiques d’élevage (combinaisons de plusieurs facteurs d’élevage) appliquées tout au long de la vie de l’animal sur la qualité de ces deux produits. Les objectifs de cette synthèse sont i) de mettre en évidence l’impact des pratiques d’élevage sur la qualité des carcasses et de la viande et ii) d’identifier des leviers d’action mobilisables au cours de la vie des génisses pour améliorer ces qualités. Les résultats montrent que les pratiques d’élevage mises en œuvre lors des différentes phases de vie des génisses (allaitement, croissance, finition) peuvent avoir des effets sur la qualité des carcasses et de la viande. Les propriétés des carcasses apparaissent plus sensibles aux changements de pratiques d’élevage que celles de la viande. A chaque période de vie, un ou plusieurs facteurs d’élevage permettent d’améliorer la qualité des carcasses (n = 9) et/ou de la viande (n = 3). Seul l’âge à l’abattage est commun au pilotage de la qualité des carcasses et de la viande, tous les autres sont spécifiques. Les leviers identifiés n’ont pas d’effets antagonistes sur la qualité de ces deux produits. Ainsi en élevage, grâce à des pratiques adaptées tout au long de la vie des génisses, un pilotage conjoint de la qualité des carcasses et de la viande est possible.
Cuniculture au pâturage et sous certification Agriculture Biologique en France : fonctionnement des systèmes, performances et règlementation

En France, l’élevage cunicole conventionnel est réalisé en système hors-sol (environ 700 éleveurs). La cuniculture alternative avec accès des lapins à l'extérieur, est essentiellement sous certification « Agriculture Biologique » (AB) reste marginale (environ 50 cuniculteurs) et ne produit pas suffisamment pour répondre à la demande des consommateurs. Nous faisons ici la synthèse des connaissances sur le fonctionnement et les performances des systèmes cunicoles AB ou au pâturage. Le lapin étant un animal herbivore, la cuniculture AB privilégie le pâturage, et bien maîtrisée elle peut rémunérer un demi SMIC avec 40 lapines reproductrices sur 4 ha (pâtures et cultures complémentaires). Pour les porteurs de projet, outre l'accès à la terre, la gestion de la prophylaxie et de l'alimentation sont deux contraintes fortes des systèmes cunicoles AB. Le nouveau règlement Européen, applicable depuis janvier 2022, préconise l'utilisation maximale du pâturage mais, de façon contradictoire, permet d'installer un troupeau de 40 lapines sur seulement 200 m² de pâturage et n'oblige pas à une rotation des parcs entre deux groupes d'animaux, ce qui élève le risque de parasitisme. Les récentes études ont quantifié l’ingestion d'herbe (30 à 80 g MS/jour/lapin) et la croissance du lapin au pâturage (15 à 25 g/jour). Le cycle productif d'un atelier cunicole AB est extensif avec une moyenne de 2,7 mise bas par lapine et par an (contre 6,7 en système hors sol). Une application smartphone d'assistance à la conduite d'élevage (GAELA) a été récemment développée pour construire un référentiel de performances permettant de soutenir le développement de la cuniculture AB ou au pâturage.
