Nigeria Bets on Natural Gas
Authors: Gubanov Vitaly
Published: September 2020

The commodity export is the main source of revenue to the state budget for the majority of countries of the African continent, which have rich hydrocarbons reserves. Also, this fact allows the state to attract foreign investment for the overall economy development and solving social problems. However, such fossil reserves, as history shows, can also lead to economic stagnation and corruption. This scenario of a country’s economic development is called “the resource curse”. Some African countries, such as Libya, Angola, Nigeria and others, have different degrees of the identified problems. The combination of resource abundance and mismanagement can be extremely dangerous for a country that is on the path to the oil and gas sector reforms. Since the 2000s, Nigeria has been reorganizing the oil and gas sector and making more efficient use of natural gas. This country has made significant progress in reducing gas flaring and has also taken a leading position in the global LNG market. Nevertheless, it has many difficulties in promoting relevant legislative initiatives and specific ideas. Shortages on the domestic gas market, administrated pricing mechanism and insufficient infrastructure are not the full range of problems for Nigeria. Against the backdrop of optimistic natural gas production forecasts, solving these issues is important for the development of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Therefore, the particular interest is to study the gas industry in specific countries in order to identify factors that directly affect its development. This article examines some aspects of the gas industry in Nigeria in relation to the problems and growth prospects of this industry in the country.
Keeping Financial System Clean: Suppressing Terrorist Infiltration of Money or Value Transfer Services in East Africa
Authors: Ntege Edward
Published: September 2020

This article is about understanding the vulnerability of money or value transfer services (MVTS) to terrorist infiltration in East Africa. The author also analyzes the penetration of money transfer services (MVTS) by criminals and their concealment of income as a result of criminal acts. It also examines some of the causal factors of terrorism in the East African region (EA) and describes some effective and comprehensive law enforcement measures aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the fight against terrorism in the region. The article describes how civil conflicts in the EA region have led to a lack of banking services, which in turn has made EA vulnerable to terrorist financing, further amplified by conflicts in the region that have led to internal and external displacement of migrant communities, societies, and families that rely heavily on transferring funds to dependents. The author examines the consequences of the endless civil war in Somalia by Al-Shabab and how it has led to spread of terrorism and related terrorist financing to neighboring countries. Most of those countries do not have strong anti-money laundering / terrorist financing (AML/CFT) systems. Financial services such as mobile money, Forex bureaus, and other are exposed to high levels of terrorist financing risk in the EA economy. The author goes on to explain how a weak AML / CFT system has led to difficulties or loss of access to International currency markets, and the pressure on relevant banking relationships has in turn undermined and affected the long-term growth prospects and financial accessibility of countries. This led to an increase in the cost of financial services, which negatively affected the banking ratings. Further the author considers the threat to internal and financial stability from criminal activity – in particular, the significant level of tax crimes (value-added fraud and tax evasion) that affect the flow of government revenue, thereby impeding institutional development. This article also highlights how EA member States, through the FATF regional anti-money laundering authority in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESAAMLG), should improve guidelines, strategies and capabilities, such as risk assessment, which is the basis of the MVTS provider’s risk-based approach. They should help money transfer providers understand how and to what extent their services are vulnerable to ML / TF.

A Behavioral Analysis of Two Strategies to Eliminate Racial Bias in Police Use-of-Force
Authors: Machado Mychal , Lugo Ashley
Published: September 2020

Structural racism is rooted in American social systems that were supposedly designed to promote our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Social systems like policing, for example, are built on a foundation of discriminatory practices designed to disenfranchise Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). One of the most recent visible examples of racially-biased policing is the excessive use-of-force by officers toward BIPOC. In response, advocates, policy makers, and researchers have sought solutions. Police use-of-force reforms such as Body-Worn Cameras (BWCs) and Implicit Bias Training (IBT) have become popular and are currently being applied in many police departments across the country. However, evidence supporting the effectiveness of these reform strategies to reduce use-of-force is mixed, and further evaluations are needed to understand why these strategies are purported to be an effective solution. The purpose of the current review is to ignite future empirical evaluations of use-of-force reform. Following a summary of the research conducted to date on BWCs and IBT, we will conclude with a brief discussion of how behavior analysts might improve and foster strategies that are efficacious. Our ultimate goal is to leave the reader with an understanding of where the data have taken us thus far, and how behavior analysts and others can contribute to the reduction and eradication of the discriminatory practices present in policing and other social systems.

Published: September 2020

Several crucial reasons exist to identify whether an adult has had reading disorder (RD) and to predict a child’s likelihood of developing RD, which is known to be primarily genetically transmitted. The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is among the most commonly used self-reported questionnaires. High ARHQ scores indicate an increased likelihood that an adult had RD as a child, and that their children may develop RD. This study focused on whether using a subset of ARHQ items (ARHQ-brief) could be equally effective and efficient in assessing adults’ reading history. We used a machine learning approach, lasso (known as L1 regularization), and identified 6 of 23 items that resulted in the ARHQ-brief. Data from 97 adults and 47 children were included. With the ARHQ-brief, we report a threshold of 0.323 as suitable to identify past likelihood of RD in adults with a sensitivity of 72.4% and a specificity of 81.5%. Comparison of predictive performances between ARHQ-brief and the full ARHQ showed that ARHQ-brief explained an additional 10-35.2% of the variance in adult and child reading. Further, we validated ARHQ-brief’s superior ability to predict reading ability using an independent sample of 28 children. We close by discussing limitations and future directions.
Consequences of Cognitive Offloading: Boosting Performance But Diminishing Memory
Authors: Grinschgl Sandra , Papenmeier Frank , Meyerhoff Hauke S.
Published: September 2020

Modern technical tools such as tablets allow for the temporal externalization of working memory processes (i.e. cognitive offloading). Although such externalizations support immediate performance on different tasks, little is known about potential long-term consequences of offloading behavior. In the current set of experiments, we studied the relationship between cognitive offloading and subsequent memory for the offloaded information as well as the interplay of this relationship with the goal to acquire new memory representations. Our participants solved the Pattern Copy Task, in which we manipulated the costs of cognitive offloading and the awareness of a subsequent memory test. In Experiment 1 (N = 172), we showed that increasing the costs for offloading induces reduced offloading behavior. This reduction in offloading came along with lower immediate task performance but more accurate memory in an unexpected test. In Experiment 2 (N = 172), we confirmed these findings and observed that offloading behavior remained detrimental for subsequent memory performance when participants were aware of the upcoming memory test. Experiment 3 (N = 172) additionally showed that resources released by cognitive offloading are not necessarily “lost”. Those participants who were forced to offload maximally but were aware of the memory test could almost completely counteract the negative impact of offloading on memory. Therefore, cognitive offloading is not detrimental to memory acquisition under all circumstances. Our experiments highlight the importance of the explicit goal to acquire new memory representations when relying on technical tools as offloading did have detrimental effects on memory without such a goal.
Redistribution and Insurance in Welfare States Around the World
Authors: Bartels Charlotte , Neumann Dirk
Published: September 2020

Redistribution across individuals in a one-year-period framework is an empirically intensely studied question. However, a substantial share of annual redistribution might turn out to serve individual insurance in a longer perspective, reducing the level of actual redistribution across individuals. This paper investigates to what extent long-run redistribution diverges from annual redistribution in welfare states of different types. Exploiting panel data from the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) for Australia, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we find that welfare states like Germany that are assumed to engage in a high level of redistribution actually achieve relatively less redistribution between individuals in the long run than the United Kingdom or the United States. Regression results show that a higher share of elderly in a country is associated with more annual redistribution, but with less long-run redistribution between individuals. The results suggest that, in welfare states with aging populations, we might expect growing annual redistribution that, to a substantial extent, is in fact income smoothing for the elderly.

Challenges and Prospects of the Halal Hotel Industry in Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority Countries: The Case of Malaysia and Thailand
Authors: Waehama Wanamina , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Hayeemad Mahmood , Waehama Waemamu
Published: September 2020

The number of Muslim tourists has surged in recent years due to increased number of Muslim population with higher segment of better educated and more prosperous Muslim community. Although this is undoubtedly an opportunity for the hotel industry, the unique religious and cultural needs of Muslims pose some challenges for hoteliers. A response to this has been the development of halal hotels which offer food, accommodation and entertainment that is halal. While establishing halal hotels in Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia seems to be easier with the inherent good understanding of Islamic practices as well as support from the government, halal hotel industry could also give competitive advantage to Muslim-minority industry such as Thailand. It is therefore pertinent and timely to look into the challenges and prospects of halal hotel industry in Malaysia and Thailand. The comparative research framework must include a considerable number of hotels encompassing a variety of scales of operation from both countries to obtain reliable qualitative data. The findings could assist policymakers and relevant authorities in setting the way forward for the industry particularly by establishing relevant regulation and economic environment that support the industry.

Social work bachelor students’ knowledge awareness during field practice
Authors: Ottesen Evelyn Sandøy , Ellingsen Ingunn Tollisen , Willumsen Elisabeth
Published: September 2020

Social work has increasingly become a research-based discipline, while at the same time acknowledging the importance of knowledge gained through practical experience and user knowledge. Awareness of various forms of knowledge becomes particularly relevant to practice as it constitutes a framework for understanding and addressing social problems in real-life situations. This article presents findings from a Q methodological study exploring social work bachelor students’ perspectives on knowledge after taking part in research-oriented activities during field practice placement in Norwegian welfare organizations. The aim of the study was to explore how bachelor students of social work understand and find knowledge useful to social work practice. Q methodology aims at revealing shared perspectives, and facilitates comparison between perspectives. Three perspectives on knowledge emerged from the study. The first emphasizes the importance of combining experience-based knowledge and research-based knowledge. The second suggests an orientation towards research-based knowledge as a strategy for innovation, while the third focuses on an active and confident, yet critical, use of research-based knowledge when working with service users. Field placements as arenas for enhancing students’ knowledge awareness, and bridging various forms of knowledge, are discussed in light of these findings.
Social workers understanding of extended families position in child welfare in Lithuania, Chile and Norway
Authors: Oltedal Siv , Studsrød Ingunn , Naujanienė Rasa , Guzmán Carolina Muñoz
Published: September 2020

Child welfare services around the world deal with families and family complexities. The study from Chile, Lithuania and Norway explores how social workers define family and more specific the position of extended families within child welfare and thus indicate contextual differences and similarities. In the data collection, five focus groups were included: one Lithuanian (eight participants), two Chilean (with two and two participants) and two Norwegian groups (with seven and eight participants). The analysis reveals significant and thematic differences and similarities between the countries related to the fluid and varied concept of family. The results also show variations across contexts in which families that are targeted by the services, the involvement of children and nuclear and extended family members. A dilemma between children’s need to keep family bonds and the states responsibility to protect children, can be exemplified with the position of the extended family. We can identity a difference between Norway, with comprehensive state involvement that can be framed as they are dealing with a public family, and both Chile and Lithuania, which put more of an emphasis on problem-solving within families, and thus look at the family as more of a private sphere.

Published: September 2020

This community service activity aims to train teachers to make learning media in the form of pictorial stories with children's literary content. This article is a case study of community service at the Nakula Gugus Teacher Working Group in Wonogiri, Central Java. Children's literature in this context is defined as a medium that is used as an intermediary to convey a form of character education for children. Apart from this, children's literature is considered an appropriate medium because it is able to attract students' interest through visual and narrative forms. Children's literature is also able to have more appeal if from the beginning it comes from ideas that are owned by the children themselves. This will stimulate a sense of ownership and logic to the things that the story structure wants to instill. The method used is lectures and discussions, then in the form of workshops on picture story books. The result of this community service is a picture book with a theme that is close to children related to the use of gadgets, which are then given the title Playing with Friends.
Riffing on Lysistrata: Gender and Social Critique in Spike Lee’s Chi-raq
Authors: Jusino Emily
Published: September 2020

This paper examines how Chi-raq, Spike Lee’s 2015 adaptation of Lysistrata, adopts Aristophanes’ motif of the hypersexual woman and uses it to engage in a broader social critique of the hypermasculinity on which gang culture operates. In the film, women’s hypersexuality is not an opportunity for comedy but a toxic side effect of gang culture. Whereas Aristophanes’ play seeks a return to the pre-war status quo, Lee’s film addresses the underlying structural causes of gang violence and shows women using their sexuality to produce a fundamental cultural change. The result of their efforts is a more egalitarian relationship between men and women.

Published: September 2020

Objective: A statistical clinical assessment of the effects of bilirubin and others hem catalyze biochemical
parameters over the main signaling pathways involved in pancreatic head cancer to determine their
carcinogenic impact using a molecular approach.
Material and Methods: Patients’ data were collected at surgery department Sidi bel Abbes University
Hospital (North Africa) patients were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer between 2013 and 2016. The data
inclusion criteria were: Age, gender, medical history, surgical history, the year of diagnosis, as well as
biological records such as: bilirubin, fibrinogen, creatinine and urea rates.
Results: 44 patients with pancreatic cancer were included in our study (sex ratio=1.75). The mean age was
67.61 years. The most recorded medical history was diabetes with a rate of 43.2%, concerning surgical
histories, 27.3% patients underwent a cholecystectomy. M1 was the most common diagnosis stage (27%).
81.81% of patients had hyperbilirubinemia, 6.81% had a normal bilirubinemia, 25% had high level of
fibrinogen, 3.6% had a normal level. 77.3% had normal ureanemia, 18.2% had hyper-ureanemia and 15.9%
had hypocreatininemia, 68.2% had normal level, 13.6% had hypercreatininemia. We matched patients’
groups with bilirubin level using Spearman’s correlation test and found a significant P value (P=0.015). We
calculated the correlation between bilirubinemia and the stage of diagnosis, using the one-way ANOVA test
and we found a significant P value (P=0.013).
Conclusion: Our results represent an interesting shortcut to synthetize specific biochemical antibodies for
bio-marking and diagnosis use, or even to lower serum level to reduce cancer aggressiveness.

Data Traffic Based on Slicing in a 5G Smart Uplink System
Authors: Grebenshchikova A. , V. Elagin
Published: September 2020

The paper considers the data traffic based on slicing in a 5g mobile network uplink system. Slicing is a promising technology for the fifth generation of networks that provides optimal quality of QOS services for each specific user or group of users. Data traffic that is processed by cellular networks increases every year. Therefore, we should consider all set of traffic from VoIP to M2M devices. For example, smart devices in the healthcare system transmit big data that is sensitive to latency, but also a video stream that requires minimal latency in certain cases. The paper focuses on the successful processing of traffic through a relay node, donor microstates, and a base station.
All traffic is divided into three levels of QoS segmentation: sensitive, less sensitive, and low-sensitivity, using the AnyLogic simulation program.
For fifth-generation 5G networks, achieving minimum latency and maximum data transfer speed within QoS is an important implementation condition. Therefore, in this paper, using simulation modeling, the main and possible results of each segment in the new generation of mobile networks are obtained.
The use of a relay node in conjunction with micro-stations can ensure optimal station load and successful data processing. Also, the solutions outlined in this paper will allow you to identify a number of areas for future research to assess possible ways to design new mobile networks, or improve existing ones.
Variation in Material Culture: Adoption of Greek Ceramics in an Indigenous Sicilian Site (8th century BCE)
Authors: Raudino Anna
Published: September 2020

The archaeological study of social boundaries through the examination of the material culture reflects the intent to better understand the interaction established between two different cultures. This paper, as part of my PhD study, identifies and analyses evidence for cultural transformation in southeastern Sicily when indigenous populations came into contact with ancient Greek settlers between the end of the eighth and the beginning of the seventh centuries BCE. In particular, this current study examines indigenous pottery production and distribution, focussing on material from Monte Finocchito in southeastern Sicily and combining archaeological and anthropological approaches with the first archaeometric analyses ever carried out on this artefact assemblage. The study argues on the basis of analysis of pottery fabrics and techniques, as well as shapes and decoration, that indigenous populations maintained robust independent cultures in the early phase of their interaction with the Greeks.

Many industrials consider blockchain as a technology breakthrough for cybersecurity, with use cases ranging from cryptocurrency system to smart contracts, and so forth. While IoT systems employ a lightweight communication protocol between physical objects, blockchain may ensure safe information gathering. Unfortunately, the mixture of both technologies has yet to be formally investigated regarding the consensus algorithm. In this paper, statistical model checking is applied to provide quantitative answers on whether the modeled system satisfies safety and liveness properties expressed in LTL temporal logic.
Analysis of Successive Land-Use Changes in Old Residential Area of “Festival of Art & Culture (FESTAC) Town” Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Ahmed Yusuf Alapata , Olantinwo O. Bashirat
Published: September 2020

In recent times, land use for commercial, residential, and transportation purposes among others is dislodging former units and bare sites as a result of structural alteration, mostly in the urban centers of Nigeria. The changes are due to various guises and structural shift, outright demolition and redevelopment and their impact is consequential. This paper assesses the current pattern which residential zones have assumed within the old Festival of Art and Culture (FESTAC) Town in Lagos, Nigeria. The methods used in the study included the delineation of the study area into six avenues which the researcher(s) adopted for the purpose of even coverage, as well as the use of structural questionnaires, base map and GPS in sourcing for necessary data on the field. Additionally, the data collected were assembled, coded and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and conventional mapping techniques. The findings revealed the factors responsible for the alteration of land use to enhance financial gains, such as changing neighborhood characteristics and the evasion of permission from the town planning authorities. The findings also provided evidence that many structures still remain vulnerable to conversion, alteration, and/or demolition. The paper recommends that adequate permission should be granted by the legal authority before the conversion and rebuilding of any structure into a new land use.

Authors: Thirupathi Radha Kishan , Rani T Renuka , Pandala Paramesh , Rakesh Kotha , Konda Kalyan Chakravarthy , Singh Himabindu
Published: September 2020

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm newborns. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) acts by preventing atelectasis and improves functional residual capacity and arterial oxygenation. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early nasal bubble CPAP in treating preterm neonates with mild-to-moderate RDS in the rural setting. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective analytic observational study done at a tertiary hospital in the rural area of southern India from December 2018 to December 2019. All babies between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation with mild and moderate RDS were included in the study. Babies with severe RDS requiring surfactant were excluded from the study. Results: Incidence of RDS among babies born between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation was 3.2%. Out of total 50 babies who were managed with early nasal CPAP, it proved effective in 43 babies (86%), while remaining 7 babies (14%) had to be intubated and required ventilation. Babies were studied based on radiological appearance and we found a success rate of 93.1% in moderate grade hyaline membrane disease (HMD) (p<0.005). Conclusion: Bubble CPAP is effective in treating mild and moderate cases of RDS at peripheral center and help decrease the burden at tertiary care center.

Authors: Gokilavani Mahendran , Naaraayan Sridevi A , Priyadharishini Dorairaj , Begum Najumudeen Shajathi
Published: September 2020

Background: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of under-five mortality. There is lack of consistency in treatment guidelines issued by various organizations. Objective: The primary objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of oral amoxicillin against intravenous (IV) ampicillin in children aged 3–59 months with chest retraction pneumonia. The secondary objective was to identify the risk factors associated with the absence of clinical improvement at the end of 48 h of treatment. Materials and Methods: This was a non-blinded randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial of oral amoxicillin 80 mg/kg/day in two divided doses and IV ampicillin 200 mg/kg/day in three divided doses in children aged 3–59 months with chest retraction pneumonia. The study was conducted in the pediatric wards of a tertiary care facility from November 2016 to September 2017. The children were followed up after 48 h and 5 days for the clinical improvement. The primary outcome considered was absence of improvement or deterioration in the study children at the end of 48 h of initiation of therapy and was expressed as risk difference between the two treatment groups. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of poor outcome of the disease. Results: Risk difference of treatment failure between both groups was -3.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] ?16.8%–9.4%). The presence of wheeze and X-ray findings of pneumonia was significant independent risk factors for poor outcome at the end of 48 h. Conclusion: Oral amoxicillin is not inferior to IV penicillin in the treatment of chest retraction pneumonia in children aged 3–59 months. The presence of wheeze and X-ray findings suggestive of pneumonia can be used as prognostic indicators in children.

Published: September 2020

Background: Pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major health-care issue. UTI may be a harbinger of variety of underlying urinary tract abnormalities. The long-term complications of recurrent UTI are kidney scarring, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Aim: The present study aims to determine the prevalence of urinary tract abnormalities in children with first episode of UTI. Materials and Methods: This study was a hospital-based prospective observational study carried out in the department of pediatrics over a period of 15 months from January 2015 to March 2016. A total of 100 children with culture-positive first UTI who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Ultrasonography (USG) abdomen, micturating cystourethrography (MCU), and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) kidney scan were done. Results: Among 100 children with culture-proven UTI, USG was abnormal in 16% with the majority (31.7%) having hydroureteronephrosis. MCU was abnormal in 14% and DMSA in 13%. About 9% had kidney scarring. Overall prevalence of urinary tract abnormalities was 14%. About 42.8% of urinary tract abnormalities were detected in children between 1 and 5 years and 35.7% below 1 year. Vesicoureteral reflux was the most common abnormality (8.0%). Conclusion: UTI in young children serves as marker for abnormalities of the urinary tract. Early diagnosis is of considerable significance to preserve kidney function and prevent complications.

Authors: Trivedi Pranay , Tiwari Abhinav , Singh Neha , Kishore Kaushik , Thakur Nohar Singh , Chandramohan G Malini
Published: September 2020

The occurrence of von Willebrand disease (VWD) is relatively uncommon. Type 1 is more prevalent than the other types. The disease prevalence is about only 1%, in which type 1 includes 60–80% of the cases, type 2 includes 20–30% of cases, and type 3 accounts for <5% of the cases. It mainly arises due to homozygous or composite heterozygous mutations in the von Willebrand factor gene (12p13.3) leading to synthesis of a truncated protein or allele silencing. We report a case of newborn 34-week gestation who presented with abdominal distension with melena and seizures. The child’s plasma was studied and it revealed VWD.

It’s ubiquitous these days and considered a very safe drug in pediatric practice. However, drug-induced liver injury is a rare but potentially lethal side effect of the drug. We report a 7-year-old boy, a case of ADHD on atomoxetine, who presented with acute liver injury. The boy was initially unresponsive to the treatment but his condition drastically improved after withdrawal of atomoxetine. A derangement of liver function due to atomoxetine often responds only to complete stoppage of the drug.

In the present work, we propose a simple method of obtaining the optimal wadding density for cold protective clothing to maintain human thermal comfort. Using the self-developed testing device, we established the experimental relation between the thickness and thermal conductivity of the fibrous wadding materials. Then, according to the distribution of the thermal insulation of a multi-layer clothing system, we derived the relationship between the engineering thickness and the effective insulation of the fibrous wadding, which is subsequently used to obtain the analytical expression for the wadding density as a function of the effective insulation of fibrous wadding material. Eventually, we deduced the analytical expression for optimal wadding density as a function of temperature, which keeps the human body under the thermal equilibrium condition at different temperature environments. As such, we developed a scheme to rationally design fibrous wadding materials for cold protective clothing to maintain human body comfort.

Comfort properties of knitted fabrics used for intimate wear is an important matter to be dealt with. Hence, the comfort issue of the knitted fabrics made of micro-rayon and lyocell fibers were examined in the current study after they were separately treated with the antibacterial and wicking finishes. Moreover, the effect of spandex was investigated. The fabric samples were analyzed in terms of vertical wicking capacity, transfer wicking, water vapor permeability and drying rate. According to the results, spandex incorporation and process history were found to be influential on the vertical wicking capacity of the fabric samples whereas, spandex incorporation was found as the main affecting parameter for the transfer wicking. Moreover, fiber type and spandex incorporation were both found to have significant effects on the water vapor permeability of the fabric samples. The best fabric option from its alternatives for intimate wear was chosen by the hybrid AHP-TOPSIS approach.

Wkład Profesor Alodii Kaweckiej-Gryczowej w rozwój nauki o książce
Authors: Buchwald-Pelcowa Paulina
Published: September 2020

Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa never actually expressed in writing her understanding of the model of bibliological research. Nevertheless, trained by two outstanding scholars: a historian of culture Stanisław Kot and a booklore specialist Kazimierz Piekarski, she consequently perfected their methods, and at times modified their methodology, as well as the theoretical foundations of her research-domain. The author of the article attempts to demonstrate this on the instances of numerous articles, studies and catalogues prepared and published by Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa herself, or under her guidance. Special attention is paid to incunabula studies and the research on 16th century books, while specific situations are recalled to show certain aspects of Professor Kawecka-Gryczowa’s personal characteristic traits.

Rola Józefa Grycza w powojennej ochronie zbiorów bibliotecznych
Authors: Nowicki Ryszard
Published: September 2020

During the Second World War Polish cultural heritage suffered severe losses. Among the persons who played an important role in the recovery of extant library collections was Józef Grycz. While the hostilities were still raging, Grycz was busy working out theoretical measures to be undertaken after the war. When peace finally came, Grycz immediately stepped in to implement his wartime ideas. During the period 1945–1949, he was active in book collection preservation on behalf of the Ministry of Enlightenment. It was on his initiative that the Central Directorate of Libraries was called into existence, as aministerial body responsible for library activities and the coordination of the all efforts in this respect undertaken by various institutions. He also published an instruction manual, which greatly facilitated works all over the country, and numerous official documents. His activities can be divided into two phases: the first one (to the end of 1946) consisted chiefly in physical protection of the recovered materials, while the second, which started with the launching of the Central Directorate at the beginning of 1947, concentrated on creating of a number of warehouses, where books were gathered, sorted, registered, and allocated with their future location in mind. Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa, Józef Grycz’s wife, assisted him in those activities all along. The tasks undertaken by Grycz were extremely complicated and difficult. He was constantly hindered by all kinds of problems, which in the post-war Polish reality were inevitable. Nevertheless, under his guidance the salvage process covered more than ten million volumes. The significance of Grycz’s prominent personality in the preservation of Polish cultural heritage after World War II can hardly be overestimated.
Troska o fachowe przygotowanie zawodowe pracowników bibliotek w życiu i działalności Alodii Kaweckiej-Gryczowej i Józefa Grycza

In Poland, the idea of educating library personnel at university level has its roots already during the times of the Commission of National Education in the second half of the eighteenth century. The Grycz couple themselves belonged to the generation, which due to lack of such studies, had no degrees in library science, but in other fields of knowledge. Nevertheless, the issue of educating and training librarians to work with the reader and the book was one of their chief concerns. In their eyes the library was the ideal meeting point of the reader with the book, and the librarian – methodically prepared for the job – an ideal middle person. Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa gained her first personal experience in training librarians in 1945. Józef Grycz among other delivered lectures at librarian courses organized in the Kórnik Library in 1945, and in the Jagiellonian Library in 1948. But his chief contribution in this field, showing to the full his pedagogical concepts with relation to librarian training, came through editing books, writing articles for journals devoted to library science, and writing textbooks and manuals aimed at educating candidates for the library profession.
