The Role of Tanzanian Academic Libraries in Promoting Scholarly Communication through Open Access: A Literature Review
Authors: Mwilongo Kardo J. , Kachota Beth
Published: January 2024

This study examined the role of Tanzanian academic libraries in promoting scholarly communication through open access. A desktop documentary review was used to specifically study the status of open access platforms, ways of promoting open access scholarly communication, and factors deterring academic libraries from fostering scholarly communication through open access. The desktop documentary review involved seven university repositories purposely selected from the directory of institution repositories (OpenDOAR). Quantitative and qualitative survey designs on the open access repositories were used. The information associated with the university repositories was gathered from their respective web pages. A documentary review of the studies on open access scholarly communication was conducted to gain insights into the phenomenon under study. The surveyed data were both quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. Quantitative data were analysed using Microsoft Excel, a computer application software, whereas qualitative data were subjected to the content analysis method. The findings indicate that the surveyed repositories were operational and guided by policy, whereas library websites, repositories and digital libraries are used in promoting open access scholarly communication. However, the factors that deter academic libraries from promoting open access scholarly communication are related to financial, infrastructure, human resources or expertise and university management. The study recommends that Tanzanian universities improve planning for open access, commitment, support and engagement in the training and retraining of its practitioners for effective scholarly communication.
Revitalisation of Public Libraries in the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria
Authors: Adamu Abu Ahmed , Isah Yahaya Abdullahi , Ajayi Stephen Adekunle
Published: January 2024

Public libraries have been able to impact people’s lives directly and positively by providing information to everyone in the community, thereby driving community and societal change. The libraries have also continued to increase their chances of delivering access to information to attain Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in advanced countries. The paper focuses on efforts developed by public libraries in developing countries, especially Nigeria, to attain the vision for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDGV 2030). This includes the provision of entrepreneurship empowerment services for women in various vocational skills such as netting and soup making to alleviate poverty and the provision of computer-based services for both adults and children for them to be able to have literacy skills that will inform their access to effective information. Through outreach services, public libraries will be able to create awareness of the benefit of education, especially in Northern Nigeria, where girl child education is usually discouraged. Government policy, funding, and lack of professional staff were challenges limiting public libraries from contributing more to attaining the SDGs. Hence, the study recommended that the government of Nigeria should include public libraries in their strategic plan as well as improve funding so that they can contribute more to the attainment of SDGV 2030 in the area of advocating for justice and creating awareness of climate change. The study concluded that the revitalisation of public libraries will increase the chances of Nigeria attaining the SDGs agenda by the end of 2030.

Authors: Gbenu Sarah A. , Njagi Pauline Ruguru , Adegoroye Adebola O.
Published: January 2024

Sustainable development was a key topic during the review of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2005 to help meet current demands without sacrificing the capacity of future generations to meet their requirements. In order to replace the MDGs, stakeholders, including the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), approved the post-development agenda in 2015. This chapter discusses the significance of public libraries in promoting equitable access to information, universal literacy, and public access to information by improving communications infrastructure. The chosen theory of change sheds light on the contribution of public libraries to achieving universal literacy. The peer-reviewed and grey literature published online between 2015 and 2021 will be examined to gather data. Additionally, data will be thematically evaluated to assess and summarise public libraries’ contributions to closing the global literacy gap.
Leveraging Content Strategy for Library Digital Media Platforms amongst Selected University Libraries in Zimbabwe
Authors: Tsekea Stephen , Chigwada Josiline
Published: January 2024

Many organisations have created websites and digital media platforms to communicate with patrons. University libraries have also embraced these digital ways of sharing resources and services. However, many times users have difficulty in finding information. There is also a lack of properly established policies on content creation, updating, and sometimes deletion. Some staff handling these digital media platforms may lack proper skills in making a strong social media presence for their organisations. Some libraries are therefore finding it difficult to have well-written content and maintain a viable and beneficial online presence. This work is based on a survey of twenty universities in Zimbabwe. An online questionnaire was sent to the university librarians involved in digital media technology creation and updating. A follow-up digital content analysis of the sixteen universities that responded to the questionnaire was conducted. The findings showed that all the libraries produce digital media content, although some do not have policies. The major challenge is updating the content. The authors recommend that librarians should continuously develop themselves so that they are able to deal with digital media content creation, maintenance and deletion.

Published: January 2024

In 2022, the University Al Azhar Indonesia (UAI) was in the second phase of expansion, focusing on increasing the influx of new students. Each year, UAI allocated funds to execute diverse promotional strategies. However, the effectiveness of the undertaken promotional measures is deemed suboptimal, as the student admissions continue to exhibit fluctuations. To address this issue, researchers have employed the data mining method utilizing the K-Means Clustering algorithm. This study adopts both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Following the data cleaning stage, the initial sample size of 4,342 students is reduced to 2,650. The K-Means Clustering analysis identifies three clusters: the main cluster, minimum cluster, and adaptive cluster. Based on the characteristic data within the first cluster, it is recommended that UAI prioritizes promotional efforts towards students from private high schools in the Jabodetabek area. Additionally, the marketing communication mix, including brochures, banners, printed media, television, and radio, needs to be reassessed. In executing promotional strategies, UAI is advised to carefully consider the unique characteristics of each cluster and to maximize the utilization of social media and websites by incorporating elements of the 7C Framework.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DESIGNS OF MODERN PICK-UP TRUCKS AND EFFICIENCY OF THEIR WORK IN THE PROCUREMENT OF STEM FORAGE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY NUTRITIONAL PROTEIN-VITAMIN PASTE AND PULLEY
Authors: Kholodyuk Oleksandr , Tverdokhlib Igor , Kuzmenko Volodymyr
Published: January 2024

In the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, all types of leafy fodder are used, which make up almost 50-60% of the cost price of livestock products. The choice of existing harvesting technologies depends on the required type of fodder, the method of harvesting the cultivated crop, the available number of technical means and machines in the farm.
The use and introduction of new energy-saving means in the conditions of an acute energy crisis, which is currently observed in almost all branches of the national economy, especially in the technologies of harvesting stem fodder, is of particular importance. One of the directions for solving the mentioned problems is the use of pick-up trucks in the technological process of harvesting hay, haylage, and green mass.
The research methodology is based on the application of methods of analysis and analogy, analytical methods, methods of higher mathematics and numerical calculations.
When studying and comparing the design and technological parameters of pick-up trucks, it has been found that they mainly consist of a frame, a trailer, a chassis, a pick-up with a shredder, a body, an unloading device and a hydraulic system. For additional unloading of fodder in the feeder, pick-up trucks are made with a dosing device. As for the undercarriage of such machines, it can be single-axle, tandem or three-axle with forced control, depending on the load capacity. The bodies are mostly welded, in most models they are somewhat narrowed down. They can have folding or removable upper parts of the sides. The upper part of the body is covered with an awning or longitudinal synthetic ropes to prevent loss of grass mass in case of overflow. Mass pick-up is carried out according to the classic scheme, thanks to drum-finger pick-ups of different grip widths in the range of 0.55 - 2.1 m.
It is noted that most models use a simple and reliable rotary feeder. This is a cylindrical drum on the surface of which curved fingers are fixed, thus forming a star-like shape. The number of fingers around the drum varies from 2 to 9, depending on the diameter. This design of the feeder allows it to be used not only in pick-up trucks, but also in press pick-ups. The rotary feeder differs in length from 1470 to 2000 mm and diameter from 600 to 880 mm, the number of rows of fingers, their design (length of the finger and the shape of the line of the working surface) and the method of mounting on the drum.
The effectiveness of pick-up trucks in harvesting stem fodder for the production of highly nutritious protein-vitamin paste and pulp is studied. The dependence of changes in the operational productivity of pick-up trucks is established, which takes into account the time spent on eliminating technological violations of the work process, performing periodic maintenance operations, converting or completing the unit, and eliminating technical malfunctions.
APPLICATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FIELD OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Published: January 2024

In the modern world, the use of digital technologies and automation in agriculture is becoming increasingly widespread. According to the United Nations, by 2050 the world's population may reach 9.7 billion, and in 2080 it will peak at 10.4 billion people, so the demand for food will grow significantly. One of the possible solutions to meet this demand is the development and active implementation of digital technologies in animal husbandry. Modern digital technologies are transforming the industry and providing new opportunities for farmers to increase efficiency and productivity while minimizing their environmental impact. These technologies are also used to optimize farmers' work. One of the industries that benefits most from automation is precision animal husbandry.
Precision animal husbandry is agriculture that uses technology to monitor and manage livestock with efficiency and sustainability. Using artificial intelligence-based automation, farmers can collect data about their livestock, such as health and nutritional information, in real time. This data can then be used to make informed decisions about animal care and management.
Thanks to digital technology, farmers can improve and optimize their livestock management practices. For example, the health and well-being of animals can be monitored using drones, cameras, and AI sensors that can alert humans to potential problems. In addition, artificial intelligence can be used to make decisions about breeding and feeding strategies by tracking the performance of individual animals.
Digital technologies are also being introduced to improve the efficiency of the farm itself. The use of AI-enabled robots can automate certain tasks, such as milking and feeding, allowing farmers to focus on other activities. The use of resources such as water and energy can also be optimized with AI, which can help mitigate the environmental impact of agriculture.
Finally, the use of robots on farms helps to improve product traceability. AI-driven sensors can monitor the condition and location (and even identify) of animals to ensure product quality and safety, and increase the sustainability of livestock production.
New Dimensions of Urban Living
Authors: Stella Antonello
Published: January 2024

It can certainly be asserted that the concept of evolution in the space / time of the city has changed profoundly in the history of the city at a given moment of its evolution: or at the time in which the machinery and, with it, the concept of velocity has entered the urban panorama. And this event is located precisely not only in the history of the cities but of the same evolutionary history of man, in between the XVIII (eighteenth) and the IXX (nineteenth) century or in that of the Industrial Revolution that has so profoundly changed human life and the look of one of the most important aggregative forms of social life. Even more precisely, it can be stated that the structure of the city and the perception of it have undergone a profound change with the entrance of the machine itself in the space of the city, namely with the advent of the railway that can be located exactly in between the second and third decade of the XIX (nineteenth) century.

Authors: Gjika Anila
Published: January 2024

The demand for infrastructure in Albanian cities is growing rapidly . Hence, accessing sufficient funding in a timely manner is crucial for the development of urban infrastructure. One innovative and increasingly accepted way of funding infrastructure needs is through Land Value Capture instruments. The goal of these instruments is the optimization of development processes on the outskirts of urban areas and the establishment of effective mechanisms for capturing the resources generated by the value increase resulting from these processes (Galeano, 2000).
Unlimited Tirana(s) – New Dimensions
Authors: Dhamo Sotir
Published: January 2024

As many cities around the world Tirana is a multifaceted city. At the first glance one can catch the lack of continuity or incoherence of the urban text, but observing it more carefully this can be interpreted as diversity and richness of the urban contexts. This characteristic that can be equally found at the small and big scale (starting from architecture), and the absolute “freedom” of the built form (from any context), requires a degree of unconventional mindset to understand and to propose hypothesis for solution at different scales of urban hierarchy: architecture, city and metropolitan level. Despite these facts that make Tirana so different from many other western European cities, I will try to apply on this specific context some well known theoretical concepts. For the purpose of this paper, I will start by describing Tirana(s) and the main “pieces” the city is made of. I will count at least “5 Tirana(s)”, amongst which the study area. Further, the main characteristics of the study area, especially those considered as problematic, will be given in a positively re-framed version, trying to argue how these features can contribute to preserve the original character of the area. The all-inclusive approach is the underlying philosophy, so the recommendations given at the end try not to be deterministic and to leave an open framework.
Albania 2030 / economic development based on turism
Authors: Aliaj Besnik
Published: January 2024

Albania possesses highly valuable potentials for the development of tourism, which ensures long-term economic development and social-environmental prosperity. Albania is presently considered one of 10 fastest growing economies, based on its own GDP, and it is recommended as one of the world’s top 10 touristic destinations. The country has a 450 km long costal line, 300 of which are located along the Adriatic Sea, and 150 along the Ionian Sea. These areas include 24 areas of high-quality touristic potential locations, mostly on virgin and undeveloped territories. In the meantime, more than half of the country’s surface is mountainous, above 600m from the sea level, and on these areas we find 15 other areas full of touristic potentials. Based on these facts, the main conclusion presents a clear need for the implementation of a national system of access and a pragmatic network of roads, which must be sensitive towards environmental values and the uniqueness of the landscape. They should be based on a ring-radial transportation and circulation system.

Different Boundary Problems Governed by the Dynamic and Stationary Operator Nonlinear Vibration of the Plates
Authors: Fouzia Bouzeghaya , Boubakeur Merouani
Published: January 2024

Bouzeghaya Fouzia, Merouani Boubakeur In this paper, we propose to study some nonlinear boundary problems for the dynamically modified operator by adding a viscosity term -αΔu'' to the nonlinear vibrations of the plates. The field of application for vibrating plates is extensive. To meet user needs, we have considered the geometric shape, the density of the material constituting the plate, the plate thickness, and Poisson's ratio. Once the problems have been posed, our approach then consists of transforming them into nonlinear problems of the hyperbolic type. In this work, we study six boundary value problems and we prove for each problem an existence and uniqueness theorem. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of a solution to the stationary problem using a variant of Brouwer's fixed point theorem.

Published: January 2024

Background/Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the masticatory function of subjects wearing a metalpartial denture restoring Kennedy’s class I and II edentulism and to compare them with a control group.Methods. The evaluation included 68 patients (33 wearers of removable partial metal denture restoring terminaledentulism and 35 dentate control subjects without appliances). Peanut and raw carrot were used as test foods.Video recordings were used to collect values for the number of chewing cycles and chewing times. After passingthrough the calibrated sieves, a “Mastica” input mask was used to record the average particle size of the chews(D50).Results. In the 33 subjects with removable partial denture (RPD), 82% of whom had Kennedy class I edentulismand 18% had class II edentulism. Among them, 54.5% were women and 45.5% were men. The age group 46-71years was predominantly represented in this study with 75.7%. The subjects who had worn their prostheses for6 months were in the majority with 57.57% of the population. Concerning the length of edentulism (LE), 42.4%had a small LE, 39.4% a medium LE and 18.2% a large LE For both test foods, the number of chewing cycles wastwice as high with RDP wearers compared to the control subjects. For the duration of the sequence, subjectswith RDP performed twice as long for the carrot and three times as long for the peanut to make the food suitablefor swallowing. The average D50 of RDP subjects was similar to that of the control subjects, i.e. 1.90 mm ± 0.19(D50 peanut control: 1.93 ± 0.5) and 1.74 mm ± 0.36 (D50 carrot control: 1.79 mm ± 0.44) for peanut and carrotrespectively.Conclusion. This study revealed that subjects with RPD restoring distal extension edentulism had efficientcompensatory chewing with a greater number and time of chewing sequences than randomly selected normodentsubjects. The comparative analysis between the chewing kinetic parameters of the RPD wearers and controlsubjects was statistically significant.

Published: January 2024

Aim: The most common chronic bacterial infection in humans is Helicobacter pylori (HP) and has been proven to cause gastritis, recurrent peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer. We investigated the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the mean platelet volume (MPV) in the control of HP infection eradication success.

Material and Method: Patients with HP infection in endoscopic biopsy performed due to dyspeptic complaints were included in this retrospective analysis. Quadruple antibiotic eradication therapy was given to the patients for 14 days. Pre- and post-treatment complete blood count parameters of 217 patients whose eradication treatment was successful were evaluated.

Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in the neutrophil count after treatment compared to before treatment (p
The Cabin in the Woods
Authors: Kord Susanne
Published: January 2024

The Cabin in the Woods (2012), directed by Drew Goddard and co-authored by Goddard and Joss Whedon of Buffy-fame, was famously described by co-author Whedon as his ‘loving hate letter’ to horror. Interviews with Whedon reveal that his struggles with modern cinematic horror are not merely emotional, but intensely philosophical.
This book is the first to read Cabin as a philosophical metatext that asks what horror offers audiences and why audiences accept. Like any good philosophy, the film offers no answers but raises questions: what ‘choices’ are possible in a pre-determined universe? How do we, the audience, see the victims of violence, and with what ethical consequences? And finally, the most fraught question of all: why do we keep looking?
Woman's Weekly and Lower Middle-Class Domestic Culture in Britain, 1918-1958
Authors: Reed Eleanor
Published: January 2024

This book draws on periodical and literary scholarship and class and gender history to showcase a brand-new approach to surveying a popular domestic magazine. Reading Woman’s Weekly alongside titles including Good Housekeeping, My Weekly, Peg’s Paper, and Woman’s Own, and works by authors including Dot Allan, E. M. Delafield, George Orwell, and J. B. Priestley, it positions the publication within both the contemporary magazine market and the field of literature more broadly, redrawing the parameters of that field as it approaches the domestic magazine as a literary genre in its own right. Between 1918 and 1958, Woman’s Weekly targeted a lower-middle-class readership: housewives and unmarried clerical workers on low incomes, who viewed or aspired to view themselves as middle class. Examining the magazine’s distinctively lower-middle-class treatment of issues including the First World War’s impact on gender, the status of housewives and working women, women’s contribution to the Second World War effort, and Britain’s post-war economic and social recovery, the book supplies fresh and challenging insights into lower-middle-class culture, during a period in which Britain’s lower middle classes were gaining prominence and middle-class lifestyles were undergoing rapid and radical change.
Negotiations: Poems in their Contexts
Authors: Corcoran Neil
Published: January 2024

This book, by the eminent poetry critic Neil Corcoran, examines the ways in which the work of significant modern Irish, British and American poets interacts with or ‘negotiates’ different contexts – historical, social, political, artistic and aesthetic. Part 1 treats of these interactions among the poets David Jones, Robert Graves, Seamus Heaney and Derek Mahon and the songwriter Bob Dylan. Part 2 treats of ‘ekphrastic’ work – poems engaging with visual art – by Elizabeth Bishop, W.S.Graham, John Ashbery, Sylvia Plath and Ciaran Carson. These poems are concerned with work by such painters as Parmigianino, Poussin, de Chirico, Klee and members of the St Ives School. The book is a signal contribution to current critical debates about all of these poets, situating them in original or newly clarified contexts, and it offers exemplary close readings of noteworthy modern poems.
Disentangling the Entangled Linkages of Relative Magnetic Helicity

, thereby disentangling the domain of origin for these entangled linkages. We arrange these eight terms into novel expressions for internal and external helicity (self) and internal-external helicity (mutual) based on their domain of origin. The implications of these linkages for interpreting magnetic energy are discussed and new boundary observables are proposed for tracking the evolution of the field that threads the boundary.
Disentangling Magnetic Fields in NGC 6946 with Wide-band Polarimetry

Published: January 2024

We present λ13 cm polarization observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) to examine the nearside halo magnetic fields. Despite λ13 cm exhibiting similar two-dimensional morphology as observed at longer (λ18–22 cm) or shorter (λ3 and λ6 cm) wavelengths, more complete frequency coverage will be required to explain the gap in polarization in the southwest quadrant of the galaxy. We fit models of the turbulent and coherent line-of-sight magnetic fields to the fractional degree of linearly polarized emission at λ3, λ6, λ13, λ18, and λ22 cm from observations taken with the WSRT, Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and Effelsberg telescopes. The results favor a multilayer turbulent magneto-ionized medium consistent with current observations of edge-on galaxies. We constrain the physical properties of the synchrotron-emitting thin and thick disks (scale heights of 300 pc and 1.4 kpc, respectively) along with the thermal thick disk and halo (scale heights of 1 and 5 kpc, respectively). Our preferred model indicates a clumpy and highly turbulent medium within 1 kpc of the midplane, and a diffuse extraplanar layer with a substantially lower degree of Faraday depolarization. In the halo, we estimate a regular magnetic field strength of 0.4–2.2 μG and that turbulence and a total magnetic field strength of ∼6 μG result in a Faraday dispersion of σ
RM = 4–48 rad m−2. This work is an example of how the advanced capabilities of modern radio telescopes are opening a new frontier for the study of cosmic magnetism.
Environment Matters: Predicted Differences in the Stellar Mass–Halo Mass Relation and History of Star Formation for Dwarf Galaxies

Published: January 2024

We are entering an era in which we will be able to detect and characterize hundreds of dwarf galaxies within the Local Volume. It is already known that a strong dichotomy exists in the gas content and star formation properties of field dwarf galaxies versus satellite dwarfs of larger galaxies. In this work, we study the more subtle differences that may be detectable in galaxies as a function of distance from a massive galaxy, such as the Milky Way. We compare smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of dwarf galaxies formed in a Local Volume-like environment (several megaparsecs away from a massive galaxy) to those formed nearer to Milky Way–mass halos. We find that the impact of environment on dwarf galaxies extends even beyond the immediate region surrounding Milky Way–mass halos. Even before being accreted as satellites, dwarf galaxies near a Milky Way–mass halo tend to have higher stellar masses for their halo mass than more isolated galaxies. Dwarf galaxies in high-density environments also tend to grow faster and form their stars earlier. We show observational predictions that demonstrate how these trends manifest in lower quenching rates, higher H i fractions, and bluer colors for more isolated dwarf galaxies.
