La (re) construcción de la paz por la vía de la comunicación
Authors: Calderón Santos Lucia
Published: July 2023

Cuando se vive en un ambiente violento, la construcción de paz implica procesos de comunicación que ayuden a discernir lo que se observa. México transita por difíciles momentos donde regiones enteras sobreviven en condiciones de alto riesgo. Algunas de esas regiones pareciera que están superando la inseguridad provocada por la lucha de los grupos delictivos que buscan el control del territorio y las acciones de contención contra ellos por parte de los cuerpos de seguridad. En el estado de Tamaulipas la población se volvió gestora de información que le mantuviera a salvo de las acciones criminales. El estudio de ese proceso comunicativo da luz sobre una de las múltiples formas en que las personas deciden no amilanarse ante una realidad violenta y ejercen, en la medida de sus posibilidades, un control de daños que les permita recuperar la paz y continuar su vida. Ellos modificaron sus hábitos y se proveían de información valiosa que les ayudaba a crear lazos de convivencia pacífica con sus congéneres, fueran parte de su círculo cercano o no pertenecieran a su entorno familiar.

THE USE OF QUIZIZZ AS A GAME-BASED LEARNING TOOL IN IMPROVING THE MASTERY OF GRAMMAR: LOW-PROFICIENT L2 LEARNERS’ PERCEPTIONS
Authors: Rahman Nor Dawirah
Published: July 2023

It is indubitable that in this digital age, a plethora of game-based platforms have been used globally to teach students English at all levels. It is also imperative to explore the degree of effectiveness of using gamification in English language acquisition so that its benefits in educational settings can be boosted to the fullest. In congruence with that, this paper gleans into low-proficient L2 learners' perceptions towards the use of Quizizz, a game-based learning tool, towards improving their mastery of English grammar, a pivotal element of acquiring English at the tertiary educational level. This study employed a questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 65 students at Universiti Malaysia Sabah who took the Essential Communication Skills subject. Two parts of the questions posed in the questionnaire are Part A, which is on a 5-point Likert scale and comprises ten questions on students' perceptions of Quizizz features and grammar mastery, and Part B, which consists of one checkbox question with four options on the challenges of using Quizizz. The data yielded positive perceptions that the use of Quizizz is indeed a helpful tool to improve students' grasp of English grammar, and most respondents perceived internet connection issues, distraction from the timing and touch screen’s sensitivity that led to accidental incorrect responses, and jitters when answering questions as the central challenges of using Quizizz. Positive feedback obtained from this study serves as supportive evidence that Quizizz should be constantly and broadly used at the university level for low-proficient students to learn and practise grammar lessons and ultimately level up their comprehension of English grammar. At the same time, educators and educational institutions can take some apt measures to address the challenges so that the benefits of learning English grammar through Quizizz can be optimised.

Published: July 2023

Graduate employability (GE) is a major concern of all academic institutions globally as well as in Malaysia. After the COVID-19 pandemic breakout in 2020, the issue of GE had become a serious concern. Further investigation by the Department of Statistics of Malaysia (DOSM), highlighted a concerning fact that the rate of graduates with skill-related underemployment is continuing to rise, reaching 33.9% in 2021 as compared to 31.2% in 2020. Graduates who experience skill-related underemployment are classified as having the wrong career or profession for them given their educational background. The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) may make occupation mismatch worse, and accounting graduates are not an exception. The accounting profession has been warned that it is also quite likely to become automated and digital in the near future. Accounting graduates with great academic qualifications may nevertheless struggle to find employment because employers may think that the standards for certificates and approvals are insufficient. Instead, they demand more basic advantages like teamwork abilities, soft skills, and communication abilities. Even before to graduating, it is important that students have a comprehensive understanding of the abilities that employers are looking for in candidates. To address this issue, the objectives of this conceptual paper is to summarize the existing research studies regarding the appropriate knowledge, technical and other skills that should be equipped by accounting graduates to ensure they will be employed in accounting related fields. This conceptual paper will provide the valuable insight to help teachers, lecturers, other academician, and education institutions in producing qualified accounting graduates.

Authors: Sarman Amin , Razali Fazilah
Published: July 2023

The environment is very important to sustain the prosperity of the nation, society, and human beings. Negligence to protect the environment will result in great catastrophes by causing natural disasters to plague mankind. Environmental education has been regarded as a strategic solution to overcome challenging environmental issues. there is no specific subject on environmental education in the Malaysian school syllabus which led to poor public awareness, lack of understanding, and exposure to environmental issues and knowledge. Hence, this study is conducted to measure the level of environmental literacy among secondary school students in Putrajaya, Malaysia. Descriptive research design and correlation were used in this study. Instruments for Environmental Attitude Inventory (EAI) comprises a scale of 1-5 ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree and was distributed to 120 from four students who were selected using simple random sampling. The finding shows that the value of the Adjusted R square is 0.260, which indicates that the factor-independent variables (knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes) only contributed to 26% of the influencing dependent variable (responsible environmental behavior). This value is more appropriate for determining the actual value in a population with a small sample size. Coefficients multiple linear regressions show that the value of t=0.358 shows knowledge does not influence responsible behavior while the most dominant is attitude. It is hoped that the findings from this research will contribute to environmental education in Malaysia.
Tornando possível o impossível
Authors: Labrada Leonardo , Chaib Fernando , Leandro Charles Augusto Braga
Published: July 2023

Este artigo apresenta duas reflexões sobre Rebonds (1987-1989) e Okho (1989), obras emblemáticas de Iannis Xenakis. A perpetuação do mito do impossível como traço poético desse compositor é a principal justificativa para as práticas de simplificação e autoindulgência da comunidade percussiva em suas peças. Rebonds levou a uma reflexão mais direta sobre soluções técnicas para desafios no texto musical: a dupla apojatura (drag) e os rulos nas lâminas de madeira. Em Okho, demonstrou-se o processo dinâmico de busca de timbres no djembé, observando a tensão do que foi chamado de ‘transplante’ de material composicional de uma peça escrita para ser executada com baquetas (Rebonds) para uma executada com mãos livres. Tendo como referências bibliográficas Irlandini (2020), Solomos (1996), Soteriou (2011) e Stasi (2011), o objetivo principal deste artigo é apresentar possibilidades de soluções para performance de trechos de obras para percussão de Xenakis que suscitem a noção de ‘impossível’.
O compliance trabalhista como ferramenta para evitar ações judiciais
Authors: França Jaíne Gouveia Pereira
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo visa analisar a importância do compliance trabalhista como estratégia para evitar conflitos judiciais. Compliance significa estabelecer práticas para estar em conformidade com as normas legais, agindo com ética e integridade e ganhou força no Brasil após os escândalos de corrupções políticas e a instituição da lei 12.846/2013 (Lei Anticorrupção). Assim o compliance pode ser aplicado em diversas áreas do direito, inclusive na área trabalhista, servindo não só para tornar a empresa atrativa nas relações comerciais, mas também para evitar as ações judiciais na esfera trabalhista. O método de procedimento a ser utilizado é o de pesquisas bibliográficas em sites, revistas, jornais, doutrinas, jurisprudências e legislação. Já o método de abordagem é dedutivo, ou seja, parte-se de uma análise geral para extrair conclusões particulares. O artigo abordará o conceito de compliance, alguns aspectos históricos, a aplicação na área trabalhista e como a prática do compliance ajuda a evitar ações judiciais trabalhistas.
MAGICAL REALISM IN THE MYTH OF PULUNG GANTUNG IN GUNUNGKIDUL
Authors: Kristiawan Yohanes Angie , Susilo Yolanda Nadiandiru
Published: July 2023

Myth is a folk prose story that tells a story set in the past, contains an interpretation of the universe and the existence of creatures in it, and is considered to have happened by the owner of the story or its adherents. Myths can refer to traditional stories. According to Lugli (2014), myth is a “traditional story that is thought of by a specific community to be of a fundamental importance…”. As time goes by, myths are still present alongside contemporary literary works called magical realism literary works. Pulung Gantung in Gunungkidul is one of the mythical stories in the Gunungkidul area which is a literary work of magical realism. This study uses Wendy B. Faris' magical realism theory which consists of five elements, namely the irreducible element, the phenomenal world, merging realism, unsettling doubts and disruption of time, space and identity to determine the characteristics of magical realism in the story of the myth of Pulung Gantung in Gunungkidul. Those five elements were found after the interview with the relatives of the victim. The descriptive qualitative method was used to determine this study.

The results of this study indicate that Banyumasan Javanese (BJB) and Central Javanese (BJS) have nominals in the form of prefixes, suffixes, and confixes. BJB has a variety of types equivalent to BJS. However, in these two languages, both have the nominal confix -an.
CoolMomentum mitigating local minima in variational quantum eigensolvers
Authors: Tsukayama Daisuke , Shirakashi Jun-ichi , Imai Hiroshi
Published: July 2023

We compare the use of adaptive moment estimation (ADAM), simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), Nakanishi–Fujii–Todo method (NFT), and CoolMomentum in a variational quantum eigensolver. Using a random weighted max-cut problem, we numerically analyze these methods and confirm that CoolMomentum performs better than the other methods. ADAM and SPSA tend to get trapped in local minima or exhibit infeasible optimization durations. Although NFT exhibits fast convergence, it tends to suffer from local minima similar to ADAM and SPSA. Contrarily, CoolMomentum shows a higher accuracy under noiseless and realistic hardware noise conditions.
Influence of substrate sapphire orientation on direct CVD growth of graphene
Authors: Kawai Yoshikazu , Nakao Takuto , Oda Takato , Ohtani Noboru , Hibino Hiroki
Published: July 2023

Graphene is grown directly on c-, a-, m-, and r-plane sapphire substrates by CVD, and their structures and electrical properties are compared. The obtained graphene is always polycrystalline, but the grain size is dependent on the sapphire surface orientation. The largest and smallest grains respectively appear on the m- and c-planes, and the graphene grown on the a- and r-planes has intermediate grain sizes. The carrier mobility is the largest for the graphene grown on the m-plane, indicating that the grain boundaries make a significant impact on the carrier transport as scattering centers. Nevertheless, the RT Hall effect mobility measured for the mm-sized m-plane samples reaches 7000 cm2 V−1 s−1. m-plane sapphire is promising as an insulating substrate for direct graphene growth.

Published: July 2023

EUV technology has led to smaller device features, emphasizing the importance of minimizing defects in production. Research has focused on improving resist material uniformity to address variability in resulting patterns caused by stochastic factors, with attention paid to the underlying chemistry. In this study, we developed an automated method for analyzing resist patterns with defects using image recognition techniques. This method involves the analysis of line-and-space resist patterns using image processing technologies, comparison using established standards, and the identification of patterns with defects. A modified version of Hough transform technique was employed to automatically analyze approximately 2500 scanning electron microscopy images. Using our method, we can identify defective and deformed patterns by comparing the detected line-and-space resist patterns with the established standard. The indices that characterize the resist patterns with defects are proposed. Finally, simulated images were also used to uncover the chemical information underlying defective resist patterns.
Problems of consumer behavior transformation as a result of the negative impact of deepfakes technology on modern digital society
Authors: Yumasheva I. A. , Afanasyeva T. S. , Alemanova G. D.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the topic of the study stems from the fact that modern digital technology has a negative impact on consumer behaviour and makes it difficult to distinguish between real and fake media. The latter, in turn, are detrimental to society. One of the developments contributing to institutional media problems has been the emergence of deepfakes, which are hyper-realistic “fake content” videos that use artificial intelligence. Combined with the reach and speed of social media, persuasive deepfakes are reaching millions of people in a short period of time and have a negative impact on our society. The paper analyzes the technology of creating and using deepfakes, describes the results of its impact on consumer behaviour, identifies types of deepfakes and groups of producers, and identifies advantages and threats of this technology.

Crítica e Ontologia no Tractatus. Algumas observações a partir de “A essência da proposição e a essência do mundo”, de L. H. Lopes dos Santos.
Authors: Carvalho Marcelo
Published: July 2023

Resumo:Este artigo discute a leitura que faz o estudo introdutório de Luiz Henrique Lopes dos Santos (1992) dos aforismos iniciais do Tractatus. Tal leitura vê, nesses aforismos iniciais, as consequências ontológicas de um argumento transcendental cuja premissa é a concepção de figuração desenvolvida nos aforismos subsequentes. Em contraste com essa leitura, aqui é defendido que se possa entender esses aforismos iniciais como uma investigação de toda normatividade, explicitando o vínculo entre necessidade e totalidade. Assim se aponta para uma nova perspectiva de interpretação do Tractatus e de seus vínculos com a tradição crítica. Abstract:This article discusses the reading made in the introductory study by Luiz Henrique Lopes dos Santos (1992) of the initial aphorisms of the Tractatus. Such a reading holds, in these initial aphorisms, the ontological consequences of a transcendental argument whose premise is the conception of picturing developed in the subsequent aphorisms. In contrast to this reading, it is argued here that these initial aphorisms can be understood as an investigation of all normativity, making explicit the link between necessity and totality. Thus, the present paper points out to a new perspective of interpretation of the Tractatus and its links with the critical tradition.
Negation
Authors: Cuter João Vergílio Gallerani
Published: July 2023

A negação, no Tractatus, não pode ser tratada como um conceito, tal como acontecia em Frege e em Russell. Se isto acontecesse, p e ~~p deveriam ter sentidos composicionalmente diferentes. A negação não pode se resumir a uma relação lógica entre dois enunciados, pois ~p deve ser construída a partir de p, e não o contrário. A negação é algo que devemos fazer para obter uma proposição a partir de outra (5.23). Ela é produto de uma ação, mas esta ação não pode ser natural (ou meramente humana). Ela deve ser atemporal.AbstractNegation, in the Tractatus, cannot be treated as a concept, as in Frege and Russell. If this were to happen, p and ~~p should have compositionally different meanings. Negation cannot be taken as a logical relationship between two propositions, since ~p must be constructed from p, not the other way round. Negation is something we must do to get one proposition from another (5.23). It is the product of anaction, but this action cannot be natural (or merely human). It must be atemporal.
Elucidação, Ostensão, Acquaintance: como Ler o Aforismo 3.263 do Tractatus
Authors: Pinto João Lucas
Published: July 2023

O aforismo 3.263 do Tractatus de Wittgenstein parece enunciar um paradoxo: para elucidar o significado de um nome, pode-se recorrer a uma proposição que inclua este nome; mas uma tal proposição só será compreendida se já for conhecido o significado daquele nome. Neste artigo, pretendemos cumprir duas tarefas: (1) avaliar criticamente duas interpretações daquele aforismo (as de Hacker e Ishiguro), levando em consideração os eventuais papéis cumpridos na elucidação de um nome pela ostensão e pelo conhecimento sensível (acquaintance) do objeto nomeado; e (2) propor os requisitos mínimos de uma leitura mais bem-sucedida de 3.263, dentre os quais estarão a interpretação da elucidação como uma proposição tractariana genuína e o reconhecimento de uma habilidade fundamental do destinatário da elucidação em apreender a proposição elucidativa, o fato afigurado pela proposição e a forma lógica comum entre a proposição e o fato.AbstractAphorism 3.263 of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus seems to state a paradox: to elucidate the meaning of a name, one can resort to a proposition that includes this name; but such a proposition can only be understood if the meaning of that name is already known. In this paper, we intend to fulfill two tasks: (1) critically evaluate two interpretations of that aphorism (by Hacker and Ishiguro), taking into account the possible roles played in the elucidation of a name by ostension and by acquaintance with the object named; and (2) propose the minimum requirements for a more successful reading of 3.263, among which are the interpretation of the elucidation as a genuine Tractarian proposition and the acknowledgement of a fundamental ability by the recipient of the elucidation to grasp the elucidatory proposition, the fact pictured by the proposition and the common logical form between the proposition and the fact.
Sobre o Jovem Wittgenstein e a Filosofia Crítica: Schopenhauer no Tractatus
Authors: Dos Santos Luiz Henrique Lopes
Published: July 2023

ResumoAinda que Schopenhauer não seja nominalmente referido no Tractatus, não há dúvida razoável de que ele esteja ali presente, particularmente nos aforismos sobre o solipsismo e a ética. Nesses aforismos, Wittgenstein apropria-se de várias teses e movimentos argumentativos que encontra em O Mundo como Vontade e Representação, mas faz uso deles para seus próprios fins filosóficos. Ao serem deslocados de seucontexto original ao contexto do Tractatus, eles mudam radicalmente de sentido e são incorporados a um percurso crítico lógico que resulta em uma visão dos temas tradicionais da metafísica e da ética muito diferente daquela que resulta do percurso epistemológico de Schopenhauer em O Mundo como Vontade e Representação. A análise minuciosa desse deslocamento distorcivo pode, por contraste, ensinar algo importante a respeito da singularidade de cada um desses percursos críticos.AbstractAlthough Schopenhauer is not mentioned by name in Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, there is no reasonable doubt that he is there, particularly in the aphorisms about solipsism and ethics. In these aphorisms, Wittgenstein appropriates several theses and argumentative movements that he finds in The World as Will and Representation, but uses them for his own philosophical purposes. When displaced from their original context to the context of the Tractatus, their meaning changes radically and they are incorporated into a logical critical path that results in a vision of the traditional themes of metaphysics and ethics very different from the one that results from Schopenhauer’s epistemological path in The World as Will and Representation. The detailed analysis of this kind of distorting displacement can, by means of contrast, teach us something important about the uniqueness of each of these critical paths.

Resolving the extra dimensions for gravity
Authors: Boyd Michael
Published: July 2023

The weakness of the force of gravity compared to the electromagnetic force and the other fundamental forces has been referred to as the hierarchy problem. If gravity propagates in several additional spatial dimensions that are large compared to the Planck scale, the hypothesis is that gravity is stronger close-up, e.g., below a certain interaction distance the force of gravity is magnified. In the hard disk drive assembly, the magneto-resistor (MR) read sensor in the head assembly operates within 100nm of the spinning disk surface. Fourteen variable size nano-bumps and nano-pits were fabricated on a magnetic disk platen’s surface designed to be less than the Planck mass 21.77 μgrams. These nano-features were measured over the spinning disk with both piezoelectric and MR sensors. The data was validated using both atomic force microscope (AFM) and magnetic force microscope (MFM) measurements. Results are reviewed and theoretical implications are discussed. The results suggest that the force of gravity is magnified and there are two forms of gravitation. Implications to modified spacetime are discussed.
High-Performance Hand Kinematics Estimation Requires Full Bandwidth High-Density EMG Recordings
Authors: Sîmpetru Raul , Cnejevici Vlad , Farina Dario , Vecchio Alessandro Del
Published: July 2023

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive technique that records the electrical signals generated by muscles through electrodes placed on the skin. sEMG is the state-of-the-art method used to control active upper limb prostheses because of the association between its amplitude and the neural drive sent from the spinal cord to muscles. However, accurately estimating the kinematics of a freely moving human hand using sEMG from extrinsic hand muscles remains a challenge. Deep learning has been recently successfully applied to this problem by mapping raw sEMG signals into kinematics. Nonetheless, the optimal number of EMG signals and the type of pre-processing that would maximize performance have not been investigated yet. Here, we analyze the impact of these factors on the accuracy in kinematics estimates. For this purpose, we processed monopolar sEMG signals that were originally recorded from 320 electrodes over the forearm muscles of 13 subjects. We used a previously published deep learning method that can map the kinematics of the human hand with real-time resolution. While state-of-the-art myocontrol algorithms essentially use the temporal envelope of the EMG signal as the only EMG feature, we show that our approach requires the full bandwidth of the signal in the temporal domain for accurate estimates. Spatial filtering had a smaller impact and low-order spatial filters may be suitable. Moreover, reducing the number of channels by ablation resulted in large performance losses. The highest accuracy was reached with the highest number of available sensors (320). Importantly and unexpected, our results also showed that increasing the number of channels above those used in this study may further enhance the accuracy in predicting the kinematics of the human hand. We conclude that full bandwidth high-density EMG systems of hundreds of electrodes are needed for accurate kinematic estimates of the human hand.
The role of religious authority in bringing together Islamic sects
Authors: عطيه تغريد
Published: July 2023

The steps taken in order to bring the Islamic sects closer together go back centuries and are not new or coincidental. Rather, they came as a result of a deep-rooted feeling among religious leaders and reformist personalities of the need to work for rapprochement between all Islamic components, as the Islamic world witnessed conflicts and clashes that reached the point of bloodshed for reasons that can only be described as trivial.The research deals with the modern and contemporary historical roots of the development of the relationship between Sunni and Shiite religious scholars and the areas through which they tried to achieve Islamic unity and the efforts exerted.

Progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease
Authors: A C Pereira1 Carlos , Cordero2 Soraya , Carolina Resende2 Ana
Published: July 2023

Many interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) share mechanisms that result in a progressive fibrosing phenotype. In Brazil, the most common progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs) are chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, unclassified ILD, and connective tissue diseases. PF-ILD is seen in approximately 30% of patients with ILD. Because PF-ILD is characterized by disease progression after initiation of appropriate treatment, a diagnosis of the disease resulting in fibrosis is critical. Different criteria have been proposed to define progressive disease, including worsening respiratory symptoms, lung function decline, and radiological evidence of disease progression. Although the time elapsed between diagnosis and progression varies, progression can occur at any time after diagnosis. Several factors indicate an increased risk of progression and death. In the last few years, antifibrotic drugs used in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have been tested in patients with PF-ILD. The effects of nintedanib and placebo have been compared in patients with PF-ILD, a mean difference of 107.0 mL/year being observed, favoring nintedanib. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency have approved the use of nintedanib in such patients on the basis of this finding. Pirfenidone has been evaluated in patients with unclassified ILD and in patients with other ILDs, the results being similar to those for nintedanib. More studies are needed in order to identify markers of increased risk of progression in patients with ILD and determine the likelihood of response to treatment with standard or new drugs.

Published: July 2023

Cel – W artykule przedstawiono działalność resocjalizacyjną wykorzystującą pracę kulturalno-oświatową, bibliotekę i różne formy przekazu treści, prowadzoną w polskich zakładach penitencjarnych. Głównym celem opracowania było przedstawienie aktualnej sytuacji w bibliotekarstwie więziennym i porównanie jej ze stanem z 1981 r. Metody badań – Dla potrzeb badania zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, przeprowadzonego w 2010 r. we wszystkich, tj. 156 polskich zakładach penitencjarnych: 86 zakładach karnych i 70 aresztach śledczych. Wyniki i wnioski – Najważniejsze wnioski wynikające z badania wskazują na znaczącą rolę książki i innych materiałów bibliotecznych w działalności resocjalizacyjnej. Nie oznacza to jednak poświęcania szczególnej troski bibliotekom więziennym i doskonalenia ich działalności. Pozytywną zmianą jest wzrost liczby profesjonalnie przygotowanych pracowników Służby Więziennej, którzy nie tylko rozumieją znaczenie książki i działalności kulturalno-oświatowej, ale i w codziennej pracy organizują przedsięwzięcia popularyzujące czytelnictwo (np. wystawy książek, spotkania z autorami, konkursy wiedzy, literackie, czytanie książek przez radiowęzeł), umożliwiają osadzonym udział w kulturze i rozwijanie aktywności twórczych.

Authors: Mazurek Jolanta
Published: July 2023

Teza/cel artykułu – Artykuł prezentuje oceny i komentarze dotyczące funkcjonowania polskich bibliotek cyfrowych, wyrażone przez pracowników naukowych. Zawiera również ich opinie dotyczące przyszłości bibliotek cyfrowych. Metody badań – Artykuł opiera się na autorskim badaniu przeprowadzonym na początku 2011 r. metodą ankiety online. Do odpowiedzi na 19 pytań zaproszone zostały wyłącznie osoby korzystające z usług oferowanych przez biblioteki cyfrowe do prowadzenia prac naukowych. Wyniki – W sondażu udział wzięło 110 pracowników naukowych. W przeważającej większości byli to przedstawiciele nauk humanistycznych, wśród nich głównie historycy. Uzyskane wyniki stanowią pierwszą próbę usystematyzowania wiedzy na temat stanu wykorzystania przez naukowców zasobów udostępnianych w bibliotekach cyfrowych. Wnioski – Najwięcej przykładów praktycznego wykorzystania bibliotek cyfrowych przytaczają humaniści. Analiza ich opinii prowadzi do wniosku, iż w celu podniesienia poziomu wykorzystania bibliotek cyfrowych w pracy naukowców z różnych obszarów nauki, dalszy rozwój tych serwisów powinien następować dwutorowo: 1. Należy wzmacniać ich repozytoryjny charakter poprzez rozbudowanie kolekcji materiałów źródłowych z różnych dziedzin oraz 2. Należy zintensyfikować prace nad rozbudowywaniem kolekcji zasobów współczesnych, włączając w to publikowanie dorobku polskich naukowców.

Ślady cenzury w „Przewodniku Bibliograficznym”. Druki do użytku służbowego i wewnętrznego (1944-1988)
Authors: Sadowska Jadwiga
Published: July 2023

Teza/cel artykułu – W artykule scharakteryzowano wydania „Przewodnika Bibliograficznego”, w których rejestrowano książki do użytku służbowego i wewnętrznego z lat 1944-1953 oraz 1968-1988, niedopuszczone przez Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk do rejestracji w bieżącej bibliografii narodowej. Metoda badań – Analiza materiału źródłowego „Przewodnika Bibliograficznego” nr 1 z 1955 r. (do użytku służbowego) oraz zeszytów „Przewodnika Bibliograficznego. Seria Uzupełniająca: Druki do Użytku Wewnętrznego” z lat 1969-1988. Analizie poddano opisy bibliograficzne z punktu widzenia tematyki, wydawców, serii wydawniczych, odbiorców książek. Wyniki i wnioski – Dokumenty „do użytku wewnętrznego”/”służbowego” ze względu na tematykę traktowane były przez GUKPPiW jako podlegające tajemnicy służbowej o ograniczonej dostępności (niskie nakłady, wyłączenie z obrotu księgarskiego, na prawach rękopisu). W latach 1969-1988 wydawane były głównie przez instytucje naukowe i stanowiły od 3 do 9% rocznej produkcji wydawniczej książek w Polsce.

Miejsce i znaczenie oceny jakości informacji w wybranych modelach ewaluacji bibliotek cyfrowych
Authors: Czerwiński Adam , Krzesaj Marcin
Published: July 2023

Teza/cel artykułu – Zapewnienie odpowiedniej jakości zasobów informacji w bibliotekach cyfrowych stanowi nowe wyzwanie dla dalszego intensywnego rozwoju tego rodzaju wirtualnych organizacji. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie miejsca i znaczenia oceny jakości informacji w najważniejszych modelach ewaluacji bibliotek cyfrowych. Metody – Jako metodę badawczą zastosowano analizę porównawczą wybranych modeli bibliotek cyfrowych pod względem sposobu ujęcia oceny jakości informacji w strukturze modelu, zakresu tej oceny oraz proponowanych metod i technik oceny. Wyniki/ wnioski – W badanych modelach przedmiotem oceny były zarówno dane, jak i metadane. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała także, że rozważane modele ewaluacji bibliotek cyfrowych dość znacznie różnią się sposobem ujęcia oceny jakości informacji oraz uwzględnianą liczbą kryteriów tej oceny. Jednak ich udział w stosunku do ogółu kryteriów przyjętych w danym modelu kształtuje się na zbliżonym poziomie. W większości modeli nie zaproponowano metod i technik wdrażania przyjętych kryteriów oceny jakości informacji. Pokazuje to, że niezbędne są dalsze wysiłki zmierzające do opracowania i wdrożenia praktycznych zasad doskonalenia jakości informacji w bibliotekach cyfrowych.
Information Literacy and Education in Hungary
Authors: Varga Katalin
Published: July 2023

Objective – In Hungary information literacy is not really manifested in public education and higher education programs. Education policy makers are focused on the problems of digital literacy, and don’t take into consideration, that it is necessary to have much broader information competencies in order to survive in the 21st century. Students come to higher education with drawbacks, especially regarding the key competencies (thinking, text comprehension and analysis, information management etc.). They also have difficulties with learning and self-evaluation. The reason is that they have no opportunities in the high school to acquire basic information literacy skills. Research method – At the University of Pécs a survey was taken in 2014 in order to analyse information literacy skills of the students at different universities and colleges. Results and conclusions – The aim of the surveys was to get information about students’ information searching strategies, favorite resources, information seeking, selection and evaluation methods, and to determine a new information literacy strategy.
Katalogi artykułów (Presell Pages) – analiza stron internetowych wykorzystywanych w SEO
Authors: Jachimczyk Adam , Chrapek Magdalena
Published: July 2023

Teza/Cel artykułu - Katalogi artykułów są jednym z narzędzi wykorzystywanych w pozycjonowaniu stron internetowych. Statystyczna analiza ponad 300 katalogów zmierzała do zbadania czynników wpływających na ich jakość mierzoną wskaźnikiem PageRank (PR). Metody badań - Analizowano następujące dane: rok rejestracji w bazie Spis katalogów SEO, wartość PR, system zarządzania katalogiem, żądanie linku zwrotnego i opłaty za wpis do katalogu oraz moderowanie. Wartości PR zostały zebrane za pomocą skryptu napisanego w języku Python. Analizę statystyczną przeprowadzono wykorzystując programy Microsoft Excel oraz R. Obecność w indeksie wyszukiwarki sprawdzono narzędziem SEOquake. Wyniki - Badanie ujawniło, że stale zakładane są nowe katalogi mimo negatywnych opinii specjalistów o ich skuteczności w pozycjonowaniu stron WWW. Ich jakość, mierzona wartością PR, jest jednak bardzo niska. Ponadto, ich niewielką wartość potwierdza także nieobecność dużego odsetka katalogów w indeksie wyszukiwarki Google. Wnioski - Tylko niewielki odsetek katalogów osiąga poziom, który może wpływać na ranking promowanych w nich innych witryn WWW. Warunkiem jest staranna moderacja i stosunkowo długi okres funkcjonowania, który sprzyja pozyskiwaniu wartościowych linków.
