A robust W-state encoding for linear quantum optics
Authors: Vijayan Madhav Krishnan , Lund Austin P. , Rohde Peter P.
Published: August 2020

Error-detection and correction are necessary prerequisites for any scalable quantum computing architecture. Given the inevitability of unwanted physical noise in quantum systems and the propensity for errors to spread as computations proceed, computational outcomes can become substantially corrupted. This observation applies regardless of the choice of physical implementation. In the context of photonic quantum information processing, there has recently been much interest inpassivelinear optics quantum computing, which includes boson-sampling, as this model eliminates the highly-challenging requirements for feed-forward via fast, active control. That is, these systems arepassiveby definition. In usual scenarios, error detection and correction techniques are inherentlyactive, making them incompatible with this model, arousing suspicion that physical error processes may be an insurmountable obstacle. Here we explore a photonic error-detection technique, based on W-state encoding of photonic qubits, which is entirely passive, based on post-selection, and compatible with these near-term photonic architectures of interest. We show that this W-state redundant encoding techniques enables the suppression of dephasing noise on photonic qubits via simple fan-out style operations, implemented by optical Fourier transform networks, which can be readily realised today. The protocol effectively maps dephasing noise into heralding failures, with zero failure probability in the ideal no-noise limit. We present our scheme in the context of a single photonic qubit passing through a noisy communication or quantum memory channel, which has not been generalised to the more general context of full quantum computation.
Solving Fractions by Applying the Bar Model Concept with the Butterfly Method
Authors: Low Jessica , Shahrill Masitah , Zakir Nordiana
Published: August 2020

This study aims to investigate an intervention in the application of the Butterfly Method Algorithm with the Bar Model Concept on the addition and subtractions of Fractions to Year 9 students in one of the Government secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam. The Butterfly Method is an alternative visual method for teaching fractions where the diagonal and horizontal multiplication of the denominators and numerators are employed by drawing the Butterfly. A mixed-method approach was used to explore the impact of the intervention with data gathered from the students’ written pre- and post-tests and interview transcripts. The tests conducted before and after the intervention were used to analyze students’ errors and misconceptions. The students’ written analyses of the post-test results revealed that not all of the students applied the Butterfly Method. A few students were selected for interviews in order to gain deeper insights into how they developed the errors and misconceptions from both tests. Findings from the students’ interview transcripts revealed they were not confident with the Butterfly Method, and they needed more time to be familiar with the concept. Another factor for not applying the Butterfly Method is due to students’ confusion on subtracting fractions that has the same denominators as well as subtracting a proper fraction from a whole number. This study concluded that students who applied the Butterfly Method helped them to remember the new method from the intervention satisfactorily in comparison to those who lack the confidence in applying it.

Authors: Zulkardi Zulkardi , Putri Ratu Ilma Indra
Published: August 2020

The new revision of Curriculum 2013 stresses mathematics literacy tasks that force students to use their higher-order thinking skills (HOTs) and collaborative learning. In the Lesson study for the learning community,  teachers deal with two kinds of problems: easy task or sharing and jumping task. This paper aims to report the process of training or professional development of mathematics teachers in Palembang in developing tasks, both sharing and jumping, using the PISA framework. This research used the development research method. Three main activities during the training are: Introducing what and why PISA items from 2000 – 2018; Developing PISA-items for jumping task; and The formative evaluation to measure teachers’ knowledge after training. Results show that mathematics teachers who follow the training can produce their items, share, and jump, using the PISA framework. To conclude, the task design training program using examples of PISA like can support teachers in developing their task, both sharing and jumping.

Abstract

Based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards, the minimum blood requirement in Indonesia is around 5.1 million blood bags per year (2% of the population of Indonesia). The availability of blood depends on voluntary blood donation. Donor satisfaction can increase the desire to donate again. It could be related to effective communication. This study aimed to determine the correlation of effective communication measured by REACH (respect, empathy, audible, clarify, humble) aspects and the satisfaction of blood donors in donor selection services at UTD PMI Yogyakarta City. This study used a cross-sectional design with accidental sampling method. Questionnaires were distributed to 30 respondents selected who did blood donation at UTD PMI Yogyakarta City. Data collected were analyzed with Somers and Gamma test using the IBM SPSS 23 application. Most of the REACH aspects were conducted frequently. Half of the respondents were quite satisfied and about 30% were fully satisfied. There was significantly correlation between effective communication and blood donors satisfaction (p<0.05).

Movimentos negros e a fragilização territorial: uma revisitação histórica no romance Ponciá Vicêncio, de Conceição Evaristo
Authors: Teixeira Mirvana Luz
Published: August 2020

O romance Ponciá Vicêncio, publicado em 2003 por Conceição Evaristo, aborda, no largo escopo de pertinentes temas que retrata, a movimentação da população negra ao longo da história. Em diáspora ou em migração, a família apresentada na obra representa um painel da constante exclusão de negros e negras para as margens da sociedade brasileira. Nesse sentido, este estudo visa analisar as trajetórias percorridas por Ponciá – personagem que dá nome à obra –, por seus avós, pais e irmão, tendo em vista que o sequestro em África foi apenas o início de uma série de remoções históricas que devem ser relembradas.
A emergência da voz feminina, negra e escravizada em Um defeito de cor
Authors: Lima Christini Roman de
Published: August 2020

O presente artigo examina como o prólogo do romance Um defeito de cor estabelece reflexões em relação à autoria e à constituição de uma “história outra” – bordada no anverso da primeira, no desvio da história legitimada. A introdução do romance, nesse sentido, abriria brechas para o questionamento das narrativas oficiais e canônicas, para a emergência de vozes sufocadas e para perspectivas organizadas em contrapelo às versões históricas e literárias instituídas ou autorizadas pelos poderes constituídos. Destaca-se, assim, a voz feminina, negra e escravizada alinhada ao “nome na capa” – de Ana Maria Gonçalves – como mecanismos de exposição de um cenário distinto, em que presente e passado são modificados mutuamente.
Suppliers' Product Market Competition, Customer Concentration, and Cost Structure
Authors: Chang Hsihui , Hall Curtis M. , Paz Michael T.
Published: August 2020

We examine how suppliers' product market competition influences the relation between customer concentration and cost structure. Analyzing cost data from a sample of manufacturing firms, we find that suppliers exhibit more rigid cost structure when both product market competition and customer concentration are high. In further analysis, we find that the effect of competition on the relationship between customer concentration and cost structure is isolated to the COGS and COGM. Our results suggest that suppliers trade off the downside risk of having fixed costs that cannot be reassigned with the potential upside benefit of meeting major customer demands.

O Infinito Atual em Or Hashem de Hasdai Crescas (1340 -1411)
Authors: Leone Alexandre
Published: August 2020

Este artigo enfoca a concepção de infinito atual do filósofo judeu medieval Hasdai Crescas (1340–1411), formuladas no livro Or Hashem (1410) às três primeiras proposições de Maimônides, tal como são enunciadas na segunda parte do Guia dos Perplexos. As teses de Maimônides têm como objetivo negar a possibilidade do infinito atual como magnitude imaterial ou material, como conjunto infinito de seres finitos e como série infinita de causa e efeito. Após uma breve exposição da trajetória dos conceitos de infinito nas diversas tradições sapienciais judaicas recebidas na Idade Média, indicamos como a argumentação em prol da ideia de infinito atual em Crescas dialoga com elas. Desse diálogo, emerge o conceito de infinito como singularidade atualizada paralelamente no real como vácuo infinito, lugar de coexistência de infinitos universos, e como infinito atual divino como Kavod, Glória, que preenche o universo infinito e como causa imanente da série infinita de causa e efeito que constitui a existência eterna dos seres contingentes. Na crítica à terceira proposição maimonidiana, a causa primeira é descrita como causa ontológica e imanente da série infinita de causas e efeitos. Nessa discussão, Crescas aponta para uma ideia de Deus muito diferente daquela elaborada por Maimônides. Temos aqui o debate judaico medieval entre os defensores da transcendência divina e os defensores da imanência. Esse tema é importante para a compreensão da recepção da obra de Hasdai Crescas por Picco Della Mirandolla, Bruno e Espinosa.

Digital transformation in healthcare services has massive potential to ensure healthcare quality, accessibility, equality & affordability in developing countries. Bangladesh is not exception to this trend for digitalization of healthcare sector as a part of vision 2021 of digital Bangladesh. This paper aims to explore the current standing of the digital transformation in healthcare services sector of the public, private & NGOs, as well as the managerial and technical challenges facing the digitalization of healthcare projects in Bangladesh. The digital transformation in healthcare is at the introductory stage in Bangladesh. Studies explored that although digitalization of this sector remains somewhat problematic, the difficulties and challenges could be overcome. Due to lack of technological knowhow, literacy, poverty, trust, attitudes, resistance to change and infrastructural facilities, this project does not work effectively and efficiently. Based on the assessment of this sector, the scope of some fields requires further improvement. The findings will help government agencies, policymakers, healthcare providers and mobile phone companies to make effective decisions regarding the digitalization of Healthcare services.
A PRIMARY EXPLORATION ON THE SUPER-NETWORK MODEL OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE RESTRICTION OF RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Die Li
Published: August 2020

With the theory of super-network and the variational inequality method, this paper establishes a super-network model of economic development in three aspects, builds a new indicator system for measuring economic development, and calculates the equilibrium conditions for the balance of economic development. Firstly, the economic development is divided into three parts: economic growth, ecological environment optimization and scientific and technological progress. Respectively, with the set of measuring indicators in three aspects as a point of super-network and the link between these indicators as a super edge, thus a super-network model is established. Secondly, the hierarchical variable clustering analysis method is used to analyze the tightness of the links among the nodes in the super-network; and the objective function is established by using the partial measurement index, which simplifies the model. Finally, the variational inequality and projection iterative algorithm are used to calculate the equilibrium condition of the whole model. The main conclusions in this paper are as follows: (1) The indicators of economic development are interrelated with each other. (2) It can contribute to the balanced development of the economy in satisfied certain conditions.

Published: August 2020

Objective: Due to the significant higher prevalence, yet less attention of mental health problems among Asian college students, we decided to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of mental health services and help-seeking behaviors in Vietnamese universities. By conducting this study, we hope to contribute to current literature on the factors that contribute to professional mental health taking behavior of college students in Vietnam as well as suggest strategies to reduce possible barriers that prevent them from seeking professional help.

Design: We first conducted a pilot study to test the reliability and validity of our measurements. We then made necessary adjustments and distributed the final questionnaires to a university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Collected data was analyzed through exploratory factor analysis.

Results: Among the three measurements of psychological openness, help-seeking propensity, and indifference to stigma, results indicated that the model explains students’ help-seeking intention reasonably well than others.

Conclusions: Using theory of planned behavior, this study aims at examining predictors of professional mental health seeking behavior among college students in Vietnam. Our findings indicate that help-seeking propensity significantly influences Vietnamese students’ intention to seek professional healthcare. Through this study, we suggest some guidance to the school administrators the factors that encourage students to take professional mental care.
Intrinsic Cultural Factors That Helped Vietnam Overcome the COVID-19 Pandemic Compared with Other Countries.
Authors: Pham Ngoc Cindy , Li Yuanqing , Schapsis Claudio , Hossain Tofazzal , Pham Huan Henry , Fischer Dov , Yang Jun
Published: August 2020

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic emerged in Wuhan, China, spread nationwide and then onto many other countries between December 2019 and early 2020. The implementation of strict quarantine measures in Vietnam has kept a large number of people in isolation and has eventually put the disease under control. Social and physical distancing turned to be an efficient way of slowing the spread of disease and stopping chains of transmission of COVID-19 as well as preventing new ones from appearing (World Health Organization, 2020). Analyzing the World Health Organization (WHO) data, we could see a clear difference in the reported numbers between Vietnam, a developing country, and the USA, one of the leading developed countries in the western hemisphere. We tried to address the question if there are factors that helped local governments to implement helpful rules. We argue that Eastern Asian cultural traits played a role in reducing the spread of COVID-19. We recommend to take this commentary paper, and further research those cultural factors that positively affected the slowdown of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam.
A Qualitative Study On Mental Distress Of Vietnamese Students In The U.S.A. In The Covid-19 Era
Authors: Pham Ngoc Cindy , Shi Juehui Richard
Published: August 2020

Objective: This paper aims to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affects the mental distress of the Vietnamese students in the USA. We explore different root causes of mental distress among international students who are away from their home country, their loved ones, and being isolated from school and community due to this outbreak.

Design: In-depth interviews were conducted to probe the reasons for mental stress during the pandemic and the narrative textual analysis was subsequently performed to analyze the results. This research includes the interviews of 20 Vietnamese students in the USA during the COVID-19 era.

Results: The textual analysis showed that the mental distress of these Vietnamese students were caused by limited access to on-campus facilities and activities, limited access to public services including grocery shopping, transportations, clinics, the possibility of being infected, isolated living condition due to the lockdown order, and inability to go back to the home country when wanted.

Conclusions: We found that both physical attributes (e.g., living condition, internet difficulty, overwhelmed healthcare system, restricted traveling, lack of personal interaction, limited access to public services) and psychological factors (e.g., anxiety of unfamiliar teaching modality, fear of viral infection, uncertain career aspects, cultural barrier and prejudice) directly led to the mental distress of these students. Moreover, other factors such as turbulent future job markets and potential racism toward Asians in relation with “Chinese virus” may cause the mental distress of these students.

This study aims to discover the sociocultural factors affecting the disease dispersion pattern of the COVID-19 in the Philippines. This is an ecological study where the unit of observation is the cases of COVID-19 in the country. The cases compared was defined in various ways to create an explanation of the dispersion pattern of COVID-19 in the country. Data was taken from the official reports of the Philippine Department of Health as of March 13, 2020, on the 52 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country. Data gathered from the reports were age, sex, existing diseases, acquisition (local or international), proximity to carrier and health status. Results revealed that older male Filipinos are at higher risk of acquiring COVID-19 with prognosis defined by certain culturally-related diseases. The dispersion of the disease in the country is further compounded by the sociocultural context the Filipinos are in.

Published: August 2020

Tobacco is the main raw material for cigarette production, so it is a dilemma for farmers when choosing to plant it. Uncertain weather in Indonesia has an impact on the success of tobacco cultivation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and subjective well being in tobacco farmers in Jember Regency. This study used a cross sectional design with a proportional random sampling technique with a sample size of 422 tobacco farmers. The research instrument used the General Scale Efficacy questionnaire (α-Cronbach 0.76-0.9), Scale with Life Satisfaction (α-Cronbach 0.87), and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (α-Cronbach 0.80-0, 84). This study uses Chi Square (CI = 95%). The results showed there was a relationship between self-efficacy and subjective well being in tobacco farmers (p = 0.000; OR = 4.856). The results of this study are tobacco farmers who have self-efficacy can face crop failure, and this is because of the experience of working as a tobacco farmer, which shows that tobacco farmers worked on average for 23 years with experience of crop failure as much as three times. If farmers have more experience, they can know the weaknesses and strengths of tobacco farming to overcome the problems in the scope of tobacco cultivation. Increased work experience, the farmer is getting bolder in making decisions and dare to bear the risk. This study are expected to help the public health office at the Primary Health Care Service to improve psychosocial health promotion efforts through a joint farmer group.

The definition of a sentinel lymph node is a technique that appeared at the middle of the 20th century. For a number of malignant neoplasms, the definition of a sentinel lymph node is standard procedure, but for highly differentiated thyroid cancer, the data is conflicting. The role of prophylactic central compartment lymph node dissection in the clinical N0 stage is not established. Sentinel lymph node detection seems to be the possible way to reduce the risk of persistence and recurrence of highly differentiated thyroid cancer.
Radio navigation and photodynamic methods for intraoperative visualization of the parathyroid glands (review of literature)
Authors: Romashchenko P. N. , Maistrenko N. A. , Krivolapov D. S. , Vshivtsev D. O.
Published: August 2020

Intraoperative identification of healthy parathyroid and parathyroid adenomas facilitate a favorable outcome of surgical treatment of patients with parathyroid diseases and various hyperparathyroidism’s forms. In doing so, it is important to preserve the entire parathyroid tissue, since unintentional damaging, removal or devascularization leads to the most common development of complication – hypoparathyroidism, which occasionally becomes permanent. Although, in case of surgical treatment of patients with hyperparathyroidism, the removal of the whole pathologically altered tissue is needed in order to avoid the persistence and recurrence hyperparathyroidism, as confirmed by intraoperative and postoperative parathyroid hormone examination. Up to recent time, surgeons could had relied only on pre-surgical localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands, thorough knowledge of front neck anatomy and personal experience, which wasn’t always reliable to recognize the parathyroids intraoperatively and differentiate the healthy parathyroid tissue from adenoma. To solve these problems, the auxiliary navigation and visualization methods, based on application of radiopharmaceutical and fluorescent agents, tropic to parathyroid tissue, are being actively implemented to endocrine surgery nowadays. The comparative characteristic of modern methods for intraoperative visualization of the parathyroid glands, based on the worldwide literature data, is represented in this article.

Published: August 2020

The OBJECTIVE was to study the course and results of treatment of lung abscesses in HIV-infected patients.

METHODS AND MATERIALS. We analyzed the case histories of 199 patients with lung abscesses who treated in the Department of thoracic surgery of St. Petersburg Pokrovskaya Municipal Hospital in the period from 2012 to 2018. The 1st group included 121 HIV-infected patients, and the 2nd group – 78 patients with HIV-negative status.

RESULTS. Patients from the 1st group were younger than patients from the 2nd group (p <0.05). Lung abscesses without sequestration were detected in 105 (86.8 %) patients in the 1st I group and 65 (83.3 %) in the 2nd group. Lung abscesses with sequestration (gangrenous abscesses) was diagnosed in 16 (13.2 %) HIV-infected and 13 (16.7 %) uninfected patients. There were no differences between surgical methods of treatment and outcomes (p>0.05). The mortality rate in the 1st group was 9.1 %, and in the 2nd – 12.8 %.

CONCLUSION. General surgical methods for treating lung abscess are equally effective in patients with HIV-negative status and HIV-positive status. Lung abscesses in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients have a similar etiology, clinical symptomatology, courses and outcome.

Activities of committees tasked with division of post-monastery libraries in the north-western governorate of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania after the November Uprising
Authors: Pietrzkiewicz Iwona
Published: August 2020

The tsar’s ukase of 1832 ordering the dissolution of monasteries had a huge impact on the destruction of monastic libraries. Under administrative directives, special committees were set up in all Russian governorates to analyse and distribute books from libraries taken over by the secular authorities. In 1840-1849 three committees - in Grodno, Vilnius, and Minsk - established in the respective north-western governorates of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, catalogued the collections of 50 libraries of dissolved monasteries. The available sources show that by 1850 the committees distributed over 15,000 books among religious and secular institutions, schools and new provincial libraries. Over 12,000 books were given to the religious authorities and nearly 3,000 - to secular institutions. During the distribution of the collections the existing censorship provisions had to be taken into account. What also mattered was the material value of the monastic libraries. By 1850 the Department of Religious Denominations in Saint Petersburg received a report and lists of catalogued books only from the three committees. In vain did it wait for reports from the Governorates of Vitebsk and Mogilev. In the 1860s, in view of further dissolutions after the January Uprising, the tsar’s administration again focused on the distribution of former monastic collections. The resulting book transfers irreparably weakened the structure of historic collections of books from Roman Catholic monasteries in the analysed territories.-

Published: August 2020

The information architecture as a field and profession seems to have real potential for success on the labor market in Poland. Therefore, it is not surprising that students are interested in learning in this profession, and universities sensing this trend offer them the opportunity in the framework of postgraduate studies and fields of study (or their specialties). In the process of creating studies of information architecture at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, providing its future graduates with relevant IT competences was one of the leading themes. The paper will present the basic assumptions adopted in the field of program creation, justification of the actions taken and general characteristics of the graduate included in the context of his IT skills.
W służbie biblioteki. Status i obowiązki pracowników Baworovianum we Lwowie i Biblioteki Zakładu Naukowego w Tarnopolu
Authors: Gwioździk Jolanta
Published: August 2020

Wiktor hr. Baworowski był twórcą jednej z najciekawszych i najbardziej znaczących kolekcji rękopisów, starych druków, grafiki, numizmatów, obrazów i innych „pamiątek narodowych”, przy czym specyfiką jego biblioteki było nastawienie na księgozbiór dokumentujący kulturę polską.  W celu zachowania i pomnażania zbiorów naukowych i artystycznych założył fundację, kierowaną następnie przez Wydział Krajowy. W tekście przedstawiono poglądy Baworowskiego i jego spadkobierców na status, wykształcenie i zakres obowiązków pracowników bibliotek fundacji we Lwowie i Tarnopolu. Początkowo bibliotekarz był przede wszystkim poliglotą głównie o wykształceniu humanistycznym, widziano w nim głównie badacza naukowego, a następnie bibliotekarza, co znalazło swoje odzwierciedlenie w strukturze stanowisk. Do podstawowych obowiązków bibliotekarzy należała po pierwsze ochrona i gromadzenie zbiorów, a po drugie ich udostępnienie, co wiązało się z pracami ewidencyjnymi i opracowaniem zbiorów. Biblioteka powinna służyć nie tylko  jako ośrodek pracy naukowej, ale także kulturalnej, sprzyjać podnoszeniu stanu świadomości narodowej, dlatego Baworowski planował także utworzenie przy swoim zakładzie naukowym wydawnictwa, księgarni, muzeum, a także organizację innych działań, promujących książkę i czytelnictwo.
Eyetracking jako metoda badania użyteczności portali e-learningowych
Authors: Szalach Adam
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this article is to indicate the usefulness of digital technologies, in particular eyetracking, in the analysis of information architecture on e-learning platforms. In the era of ubiquitous computerization, a significant expansion of the discussed technologies is noticeable for all branches of the economy and science. We also note the continuing development of the IT services market. New tools and technologies available on the market affect and significantly change the face of previously understood education, which evolves from its original shape into new forms. The effect of this phenomenon is the requirement to use ever newer didactic aids, and thus, proper preparation of children and young people for the skillful use of available technologies. A characteristic example of this type of assistance is e-learning, which currently supports education for both students and teachers. The article will present the results of pilot studies, based on the analysis of selected educational platforms using the method of tracking eye movements. The aim of the study was to check how and at what time participants were able to find and analyze relevant information on e-learning portals depending on their architecture and legibility. The analysis of the results of the study and data collected has allowed us to identify weaknesses and strengths in the structure of information contained on e-learning platforms, the improvement of which can significantly contribute to the increase of the quality and usability of distance learning tools. The results of the research indicate the problem of the readability of large information giants and navigational complexity.

It presents the results of own research, which attempted to find the answer to the question - are active teaching methods more suited to the educational needs of the Generation Z than traditional methods? The specific features of the Generation Z as well as the dynamically changing environment, especially information and technology, requires a different approach to the teaching process. Shifting the focus from feeding methods to active ones seems to be inevitable, and a flexible approach in this area becomes both a need and a necessity.

The Bibliography of Employee Publications of the Cracow University of Technology (BPP PK) has been created in the Library of the Cracow University of Technology (BPK) since 1964, initially in printed form, since 1991 in the form of an electronic database. In September 2013, BPP PK was moved to a platform that was created as part of the project implemented by BPK under the name SUW Integrated System for Knowledge Exchange and Access to Academic Publications in the Field of Technical Sciences. The paper discusses the collection of information, communication regarding BPP PK resources, database modifications, data presentation, and use of collected data. The cooperation of librarians and users was presented from the moment of publication of the publication in BPP PK, through participation in the process of verification of the publication's description, to the moment of publishing the data. Also included is information on the possibility of supplementing or correcting data already made public, the possibility of using data from the BPP PK database in the process of parameterization of scientific units and the periodic assessment of researchers. New technical solutions implemented in 2014 in BPP PK, the requirement of database users' participation in its creation, functioning and development, are part of the Library 2.0 model. BPP PK in its currently functioning form is an example of a dynamic work co-created by the PK university community.
By chronić to, co najcenniejsze. O działaniach prowadzonych na rzecz ochrony księgozbioru Baworovianum – tropy z „Księgi kasowej”
Authors: Makles Karol
Published: August 2020

Celem artykułu jest prześledzenie działalności Biblioteki Fundacji Wiktora hr. Baworowskiego związanej z ochroną jej księgozbioru. Podstawę źródłową stanowią zapisy w „Księdze kasowej”, w której notowano bieżące wydatki biblioteki. Ten powstający głównie w XX wieku rękopis, stanowi interesujące źródło informacji o funkcjonowaniu ksiażnicy, gdyż wynotowano w nim szereg wydatków, które rzucają nowe światło na sposób funkcjonowania instytucji. Ponadto, analiza i zestawienie poszczególnych danych, dostarcza wiadomości o współpracy Baworovianum z najbliższym otoczeniem w tym artystami, introligatorami i innych rzemieślnikami regularnie wykonującymi prace konserwatorskie. Dane z opisanego rękopisu pozwalają zarysować i usystematyzować szereg, nie podejmowanych wcześniej przez badaczy zagadnień, związanych prowadzonymi także przez bibliotekarzy na rzecz tej w jednej z ważniejszych bibliotek fundacyjnych we Lwowie i na ziemiach polskich.
