Institutional Repositories in Swaziland: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Dlamini Ncamsile Nombulelo , Snyman Maritha
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this paper is to assess the current status of institutional repositories (IRs) in Swaziland’s academic institutions. The factors under discussion are the number of IRs in Swaziland, their usage, the level of awareness of these IRs, and the challenges that prevent the implementation of IRs in Swaziland’s academic institutions. A webometric approach, interviews and semi-structured questionnaires completed by IR managers or librarians working for the Swaziland’s academic institutions were used to collect data for this study. Responses were received from 11 respondents. The findings indicated that there is one IR in Swaziland that is accessible to the institution’s community via the intranet. This IR was, at the time when this study took place, not registered in any of the international registries of repositories, such as the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) and the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR). Currently, this IR faces problems of insufficient content, a low level of IR awareness, limited knowledge of effective and appropriate IR advocacy strategies and limited knowledge of effective IR implementation and management strategies. Based on the findings and information gained from a literature review of IRs, the paper recommends strategies to academic institutions in Swaziland that may enable them to increase their number of IRs, the awareness level of IRs and consequently the use of IRs. The findings and recommendations may also benefit other African countries in similar situations.
Women Voters' Access to Political Information during the 2013 Kenyan General Election in Kakamega County
Authors: Okinda Thomas Ibrahim
Published: July 2020

Information is considered an important resource for women’s political participation. However, little is known about women’s access to election-related information in Kenya.  Anchored on the uses and gratifications theory (UGT), this research examined women voters’ access to political information during the 2013 Kenyan general election in Kakamega County. This study adopted a descriptive survey in which data was collected from 372 women voters using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The results revealed that women voters mainly accessed political information via radio and interpersonal sources comprising family members and friends as they were in close proximity with them. Major constraints to women’s political information access were the following: inadequate and expensive media devices and power supply, limited time, and low education and interest in seeking political information. This paper provides insight into women’s access to various sources of political information and this is essential in identifying appropriate channels for reaching out to them in counties in Kenya. Women voters’ low levels of education and Media and Information Literacy (MIL) have implications for information providers. They should use both mediated and non-mediated sources of political information, and offer information services and MIL programmes tailored to women. This study provides directions for future research on political information seeking behaviour within the discipline of library and information science (LIS) by incorporating UGT from media studies.
Knowledge Management Theories: An Alternative Perspective on Organising Africa’s Indigenous Knowledge
Authors: Iwata John Jackson , Hoskins Ruth Geraldine
Published: July 2020

Indigenous knowledge has existed within the diverse African societies since the beginning of the life of such societies. However, it is claimed that during the colonial era in Africa such knowledge was ignored by colonialists, and later by African leaders after independence. Thus, most African indigenous knowledge including that used for improving human health was ignored by existing knowledge management theories; and people have come to depend more on exogenous (foreign) knowledge. Various theories on knowledge management have been proposed, however many have not focused on the management of African indigenous knowledge. This prompts a need to charter new theoretical models for the management of African indigenous knowledge. This article aimed at examining and highlighting various theories from different schools of thought that have explained the processes and activities involved in the management of knowledge by focusing on how they fit in managing the diversity of African indigenous knowledge systems. A total of three knowledge management theories were examined based on their significance and limitations. Given the existing theories’/models’ limitations to manage indigenous knowledge, a new framework that focuses on processes and strategies for the management of indigenous knowledge in the African context where such knowledge is generated and developed has been proposed. The five main attributes of the proposed framework are the following: the environment and setting, stages and phases for managing indigenous knowledge, the role and support of agents, the institutionalisation of indigenous knowledge and the legal framework for the management of indigenous knowledge.
Knowledge Management: Organisational Culture and Effective Knowledge Sharing
Authors: Adegboye Jade
Published: July 2020

In the knowledge economy, organisations rely on knowledge to improve and stay competitive in the industry. Knowledge exists both explicitly and tacitly and the challenge lies in transferring the tacit knowledge from experts to less experienced employees before they leave the organisation. This study, conducted at a financial services organisation in South Africa, is based on qualitative research, which seeks to determine how knowledge is shared between novices and experts in a financial services organisation. This study aims to identify how employees currently share knowledge and to discover more effective knowledge sharing tools and methods that can foster effective knowledge sharing in the organisation. The main research question is: What is the effectiveness of existing knowledge sharing methods between experienced employees and new hires at a financial services organisation? The research question is answered through the questionnaires that were distributed and interviews that were conducted with the participants. The data collection was carried out based on an exploratory research design and a descriptive research method. The data analysis followed an inductive approach. Quantitative analysis using tables and graphs and qualitative analysis by means of themes were used to analyse the data collected. The findings reveal that most employees are not aware of the knowledge management or sharing strategy in their organisation owing to silos of organisational culture in the organisation. Knowledge sharing is not driven organisation-wide, and knowledge sharing tools are not managed effectively. Based on the study’s findings, an organisation-wide knowledge management and sharing strategy is essential. In addition, organisations should enable employees to share by providing more capacity dedicated to knowledge sharing.
The Use of Video Tutorials to Enhance Library Instruction at a South African Higher Education Institution
Authors: Chiware Maureen Sekayi , Noll Susanne Doris
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this paper is to report on how a team of librarians from the University of Cape Town (UCT) Libraries introduced and implemented a project involving instructional video tutorials. Faced with a growing number of students, a decline in the number of library staff as well as the limited ability of librarians to reach out to students through traditional means of face-to-face library instruction, the librarians started creating video tutorials using Camtasia Studio. Another impetus for developing video tutorials was the introduction of lecture recording at the university and the need for the library to align itself with these developments at the institution. Through a narrative, the paper outlines the video development process. The challenges encountered are presented and a set of guidelines drawn up to ensure efficient and effective production. The number of videos created grew from one in 2012 to 62 by 2018. An examination of video usage analytics indicates that the average view duration of the videos is between 52 per cent and 71 per cent. The guidelines presented in this paper will provide valuable insights for other librarians to develop video tutorials. The paper is a valuable addition to existing literature on the subject and more importantly addresses a unique South African experience.
Angular Divergence of Electrons in Generating Two Ribbon Beams in a Single Accelerating Diode (Simulation, Experiment)
Authors: Arzhannikov Andrey V. , Samtsov Denis A. , Sinitsky Stanislav L. , Stepanov Vasily D.
Published: July 2020

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation and experimental studies of the generation of two ribbon beams in an accelerating diode with magnetic insulation at a diode voltage of ~ 0.7 MeV and a current of 10 kA in it. Model-ing is implemented using the Particle CST Studio package. The experiments were conducted on the U-3 accelerator of the ELMI installation. In calculations with three-dimensional geometry corresponding to the experiments, the distribu-tion of electron velocities over the pitch angle at the exit of the beams from the diode under the conditions of an inho-mogeneous magnetic field with an induction of about 1 T was obtained. These calculated data were confirmed in an experiment in which, using a sensor with seven recording channels, a distribution function of the velocity of electrons with a characteristic width at half maximum of 0.03 rad was obtained. Using the GEANT4 software package in processing measurement results with this sensor gives confidence in the correctness of the obtained distribution function.

Authors: Lysenko Vladimir I. , Gaponov Sergey A. , Smorodsky Boris V. , Kosinov Alexander D. , Yaroslavtsev Mikhail I.
Published: July 2020

Theoretical investigation of the supersonic flat-plate boundary-layer properties under conditions of the surface material sublimation has been performed for Mach number M = 2. Naphthalene (C10H8) was chosen as the substance for the sublimation coating. Performed computations show that with increasing surface temperature due to stagnation temperature increase, the mass flow rate of naphthalene evaporation increases. Calculations performed on the basis of linear stability theory show that such an increase of evaporation leads to a noticeable decrease of the local growth rates of unstable perturbations in the boundary layer. It is found that stabilization of the boundary layer by the surface coating sublimation occurs with increasing temperature of the sublimation coating, reaching a maximum near the triple point temperature of the sublimation material. The carried out experiments confirmed the stabilizing effect of surface sublimation.

Authors: Caldana Nathan Felipe da Silva , Ferreira Luiz Gustavo Batista , De Aguiar e Silva Marcelo Augusto
Published: July 2020

O clima do planeta está mudando em frequência e magnitude de seus eventos atmosféricos. As atividades agrícolas são altamente dependentes do clima. Mesmo com avanços da tecnologia e da pesquisa, a variabilidade da produção no estado do Paraná é afetada pelas variáveis climáticas, sendo a precipitação o elemento mais importante para as regiões de clima tropical e subtropical. Para o planejamento agrícola e para as demais atividades humanas, conhecer o clima é importante para minimizar os riscos das atividades e garantir resultados satisfatórios. A Mesorregião Noroeste Paranaense é a área mais quente e seca do Estado do Paraná carecendo de estudos que contribuam para a tomada de decisão na região. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a variabilidade pluviométrica, a intensidade e a frequência da precipitação na MRNOP. Para isso utilizou-se as escalas temporais anual, mensal e diária com o recorte temporal de 1976 a 2018. Por meio dos resultados, identificou-se grande discrepância nas alturas pluviométricas anuais, mensais e diárias, com parte expressiva dos eventos extremos e maiores alturas de precipitação ocorrendo em períodos de El Niño e neutralidade, enquanto os períodos secos predominam em condições de La Niña. Rainfall Frequency And Intensity And Relation With El Niño-Southern Oscilation In The Northwest Mesoregion Of Parana State, BrazilA B S T R A C TThe planet's climate is changing in frequency and magnitude of its atmospheric events. Agricultural activities are highly climate dependent. Even with advances in technology and research, agricultural production is affected by climatic variables. For agricultural planning and for other human activities, knowing the climate is important to minimize the risks of activities and ensure satisfactory results. The northwest Paraná mesoregion is the warmest and driest area in the State of Paraná and lacks studies that contribute to decision making in the region. Therefore, the objective of this work was to analyze rainfall variability, intensity and frequency of precipitation in MRNOP, as well as assessing the association between rainfall totals and extremes with the occurrence of the El Niño-Southern Oscilation – ENSO. variability mode. The annual, monthly and daily time scales were used from 1976 to 2018. Thematic maps were developed with interpolation and regressions and graphs of box graphics for an analysis of the variability. A large discrepancy was identified at annual, monthly and daily rainfall heights, with significant part of extreme events and higher precipitation heights occurring in El Niño periods and neutrality, while dry periods predominate under La Niña conditions.Keywords: climate risk, extreme events; sea surface temperature.

Analysis of the Viability of Implementing Sustainable Proposals to Reduce Tunnel Flooding in Recife, Pernambuco
Authors: De Holanda Marco Aurélio Calixto Ribeiro , De Oliveira Diogo Botelho Correa , Soares Willames de Albuquerque , Da Silva Simone Rosa
Published: July 2020

Flooding in urban centers has been treated as a direct consequence of excessive rainfall, without considering the integrated functioning of the drainage system. These problems have caused engineers to propose auxiliary solutions or techniques that assist urban drainage. The objective of this study was to analyze the technical feasibility of using compensatory measures such as permeable pavement, for tunnel accesses, as an aid to existing drainage. The soil of the unpaved regions, which represent only 16.3% of the study area, was characterized using the Beerkan method, followed by an analysis of the water balance of the region using the Hydrus-1D computational model, in order to determine the rainfall on the unpaved regions surrounding the tunnels. The water balance of this portion of the study area showed that, of the 239.69 mm.m-2 that precipitated over unpaved areas, 88.15% infiltrated and the remaining 11.85% ran off or evaporated. In addition, infiltration tests showed that the soil is mostly sandy and capable of permitting infiltration of the water precipitated during the year studied, so the proposal to use permeable pavement at the entrance and exit of the Chico Science Tunnel is viable, minimizing flooding as well as maintenance costs for the booster pumps used by the current drainage system.  Análise da Viabilidade de Implantação de Medidas Sustentáveis para Reduzir Alagamentos nos Túneis de Recife, Pernambuco R E S U M OOs alagamentos de centros urbanos têm sido tratados como consequência direta do excesso de chuva, sem considerar o funcionamento integrado do sistema de drenagem. Tais problemas fizeram com que a Engenharia propusesse soluções ou técnicas auxiliares visando assistir a drenagem urbana. Deste modo, objetivou-se analisar a viabilidade técnica do uso de medidas compensatórias como o pavimento permeável nos acessos de túneis, como um auxílio à drenagem existente. Para isso, o solo das regiões não pavimentadas, os quais representam apenas 16,3% da área de estudo, foram caracterizados mediante o uso do método Beerkan e, em seguida, realizada uma análise do balanço hídrico da região mediante o uso do modelo computacional Hydrus-1D, afim de se conhecer o aporte pluviométrico sobre as regiões não pavimentadas nos entornos dos túneis. O balanço hídrico desta porção da área de estudo mostrou que dos 239,69 mm.m-2 que precipitaram sobre as áreas não pavimentadas, 88,15% infiltrou e os demais, 11,85%, escoaram ou evaporaram. Além disso, os ensaios de infiltração mostraram que o solo é majoritariamente arenoso e capaz de permitir a infiltração da água precipitada durante o ano estudado, de modo que a proposta de se utilizar o pavimento permeável na entrada e saída do túnel Chico Science é viável, uma vez que alagamentos seriam minimizados, bem como os custos de manutenção das bombas de recalque do atual sistema de drenagem também seriam reduzidos.

Published: July 2020

Heterogeneity of landscape mosaics associated with factors that lead to the categorization of a given environment is summarized in an important research theme of Landscape Ethnoecology. Consisting of a recent theme, which has been receiving notoriety, the goal was to present an overview about the referred subject, analyzing its Evolution between the years 2009 to 2019, in order to verify how it has been proposed and discussed by scholars around the world. This research was organized using bibliometric analysis, whose data were obtained on the basis of the Journals Portal by CAPES. Main subjects of the considered texts related to the use and classification of the landscape, conceptual studies, perception of the environment and soil categorization. Among researches performed worldwide, the American continent was the one with the largest number of studies (64.7%). 2016 was the year with the highest number of publications, highlighting Brazil for grouping a larger amount of works compared to other countries. Brazilian researches were developed in areas of Caatinga and Atlantic Forest, lacking studies in different vegetation groups in the country. Data showed that the authors focused on identifying broader environments. Biotic and abiotic landscape elements gave strong indications to differentiate landscape mosaics, especially when they were associated with vegetation and topography elements. Finally, deepening the understanding of how people are entwined to the environment provides important paths to understand and manage a particular territory.
Problems of adaptation of imported specialized breeds of cattle
Authors: Ivanov R. V. , Zakharova L. N.
Published: July 2020

The experience of importing Simmental breed from Austria of beef cattle Hereford breed from Novosibirsk region, red steppe breed from the Altay Territory to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is analyzed. Acclimatization of imported livestock to the conditions of the Far North is hard. Of 471 heads of cattle of Austrian Simmental breed imported in 2007, 171 are currently left. The average milk production of cows per head is 2485 litres, the average figure for the Republic is 2364 litres. Of 200 heads of Herefords brought in 20112012, only 32 have remained. A brief description of the milk productivity of the red steppe breed in Yakutia is presented. Milk yield per cow amounted to 2630 litres in six lactations, which is 166 litres higher than the national average. Due to non-compliance with the requirements of the technology of keeping and feeding imported animals, 116 out of 200 imported cows have remained. The hematological parameters of cattle reflecting the state of the body's immune system during acclimatization are given. Adaptation of red steppe cows was difficult, but the hematological parameters corresponded to the physiological norm. Possible ways of developing livestock breeding programme in Yakutia to create a simmentalized Yakut zonal type of cattle, which is distinguished by exceptional adaptive abilities for keeping and feeding conditions, are proposed. Thanks to crossbreeding with Yakut cattle, the acclimatization and further breeding of imported specialized breeds and their crosses is successful. The ways of improving the technology of keeping and feeding cattle on the farms of the Republic are shown.

Published: July 2020

The results of testing (2018–2019) varieties and lines of the spring triticale collection in the south-east of the Republic of Kazakhstan are presented. The study was conducted on 70 samples of domestic and foreign breeding from around the world: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Moldova, Austria, Canada, Argentina, Mexico. The experiment was carried out according to the methodology of the state variety testing of agricultural crops. To identify sources of economically valuable traits of grain, the following indicators were studied: test weight, flour sedimentation, protein and starch content, and falling number. The most valuable samples were identified as the starting material for creating varieties for animal feed and baking. Sources of high test weight (13 samples), sedimentation (five samples), protein content (six samples), starch (eight samples) were selected as the starting material for breeding on grain quality. Based on the assessment of spring triticale collection samples for protein content, flour sedimentation and falling number, the following varieties were selected for baking: Ukro, Korovai Kharikvsky, Addax, No. 7 (Rovnya x Lotos), MX 107. Due to high starch content (above 60%) the following varieties were selected for animal feed: WANAD, Pollmer 2,1,1, Fahad 8-2*2//PTP, Rubik, L 5635, Mieszko, L-105/08, Siskiyou. A positive relationship between starch content and test weight, and a positive correlation of starch content and falling number was revealed. All samples of varieties of spring triticale in the south-east of Kazakhstan formed grain with high falling number in the range of 192–336 s and were rated as first-class grain.

Published: July 2020

The article presents the results of the comparative study of sheep wool productivity of Tuva coarse-haired short-fat-tailed breed and the desired type of Tuva-Saradzha semi-coarse-haired breed. The study was conducted in 2018-2019 in the farms of the Republic of Tuva. For the experiment, two groups of ewes were formed: control (Tuva coarse-haired short-fat-tailed breed) and experimental (Tuva-Saradzha semi-coarse crossbreeds of the desired type). The study of the yield of pure fiber and the physical and technical properties of the wool were carried out according to generally accepted methods. During the study animals were in the same conditions of a year-round pasture management. The amount of wool shorn and the physical and technical properties of wool of Tuva-Saradzha cross-bred ewes and Tuva purebred short-fat-tailed ewes varied significantly. Tuva-Saradzha semi-coarse-haired ewes of the desired type exceeded their peers of Tuva region in terms of greasy wool shorn by 67.4%, and the yield of pure fiber – by 5.6%. When comparing different fractions of wool fibers in the hair of local semi-coarse ewes, the amount of beard hair was 3.3% less, and heterotype hair – 4.4% more than in the wool of Tuva ewes. The study of the fineness of wool fibers showed that in TuvaSaradzha ewes down and heterotype fibers were thicker (21.34; 57.45 μm), and beard hair was thinner (62.34 μm) compared to Tuva ewes. Sheep of semi-coarse breed had the longest hair. Research data on the physical and technical properties of wool of Tuva-Saradzha semi-coarse-haired ewes of the desired type demonstrated good prospects of the breed for the selection process.
The principle of identity of conditions for zonal tests of grain harvesters
Authors: Chepurin G. E.
Published: July 2020

The paper presents the analysis results of the methods applied to comparative tests of combine harvesters for threshing grain crops in various climatic zones of Russia. In the USSR, in accordance with the current GOSTs, machine testing stations carried out comparative tests of combines during threshing grain crops with a yield of 4 t/ha by direct combining method in the phase of full ripeness of grain, but no later than 7 days after its onset. At the design stage, the throughput of a combine harvester is calculated taking into account the design parameters of the working bodies of the combine, engine power, thresher width, specific power per unit of throughput, hopper volume and other factors. The classification of combines according to design parameters does not characterize their potential functionality and work efficiency under production conditions with significant fluctuations in the yield of grain crops. It is necessary to comply with the main principle of comparative tests of combines – the identity of their operating conditions. If this principle is violated, it makes no sense to analyze the results. It is necessary to substantiate the methodology of comparative tests of combines in various climatic zones of the country. Given the different yields in certain zones of Russia, especially in the Siberian region, it is necessary to determine not only the nominal throughput for the rational use of the harvester, but also to what extent it can vary depending on harvesting conditions. A technological passport is needed for each combine, which will allow to quickly develop an operation process chart for threshing grain crops in relation to a specific field and taking into account yield and other production efforts. Operation process charts, unlike technological passports, determine the task for performing specific work, subject to technological modes, that ensure high quality products by direct combining and swath harvesting methods with rational loading of the combine thresher. They help to identify actual and estimated cost of grain, taking into account the need in combines and combine operators.

A dualizmus korának nagyarányú ipari fejlődése és a Királyi József Műegyetem túlzsúfoltsága miatt szükségessé vált a 20. század fordulóján egy második műegyetem felállítása. A szakemberek, a Királyi József Műegyetemtanárai, illetve a kormány is azt javasolta, hogy ezt az egyetemet Temesváron, a Délvidék ipari központjában hozzák létre. Ehhez mind gazdasági, oktatási és nemzeti szempontokat is figyelembe vettek.A konkrét tervekkel ugyan 1917-re elkészültek, de történelmi okok miatt az intézmény csak 1920 őszén nyílhatott meg, most viszont már román politechnikumként. Temesvár mellett Kassán tervezték a harmadikmagyar műszaki egyetem fölállítását, de az előkészületekkel nem jutottak olyan messzire, mint Temesvár esetében.

Két részből álló írásunkban 16 matematikai disszertációt mutatunk be szerzőik (15 fő) életrajzi adataival és későbbi karrierjének felvázolásával. E disszertációkat 1927 és 1940 között Dávid Lajos professzor vezetésével írták. Ebben az időszakban ő volt a Debreceni Tudományegyetem Matematikai Szemináriumának vezetője. A dolgozatok témái kapcsolódtak az ő tudományos munkásságához, így például a matematika történetével (a két Bolyai munkássága) vagy a matematikai elemzés problémáival. A disszertációkat külön könyvként adták ki. Később ezeket Dissertationes Davidianae Debrecen 1927–1940 nevű kolligátumban gyűjtötték össze. Megemlítendő, hogy az összeállítás nem tartalmazza Kárteszi Ferenc értekezését, akinek munkáját a filozófia doktorainak disszertációi között találtuk meg. Az első részben az 1934 és 1940 közötti időszakot tekintjük át.

Egyetemalapítási terv Pécsen Klimó György püspök idején
Authors: Gőzsy Zoltán
Published: July 2020

Klimo György pécsi püspök céljainak fontos szegmense volt a papság képzési színvonalának fejlesztése. E célkitűzések természetes módon változtak, bővültek az évek során, újabb és újabb elképzeléseket fedezhetünk fel a püspök tevékenységében. Klimo olyan erős oktatási intézményt akart létrehozni, amely alapját képezheti egy teológiai fakultásnak, amelyre majd felépítheti a pécsi egyetemet, ugyanakkor a regionális művelődés és kultúra fundamentumává válhat. A püspök koncepciójában ezek komplex struktúrakent jelentkeztek: az egyetem létrehozásával a püspökség, sőt a püspöki város hírnevét is gazdagítani akarta, továbbá a klérus tudományos színvonalat es felkészültséget is emelni szándékozta. A tanulmány ezeket a folyamatokat és a mögöttük meglévő cselekvési kereteket tarja fel, és arra is keresi a választ: vajon Klimo milyen intézményt kívánt 1769-ben felállítani Pécsen?
budapesti egyetem diákegyesületei a világháború végén és az őszirózsás forradalom időszakában
Authors: Varga Júlia
Published: July 2020

A tanulmány a budapesti egyetem régi és új diákegyesületeinek tevékenységét, és az első világháborúban részt vett katona diákok hazajövetel utáni egyetemi életét mutatja be, valamint részvételüket az őszirózsás forradalomban. Bemutatja a hagyományos diákegyesületek mellett létrejött új – vagy régóta működő – baloldali diákegyesületeket, törekvéseiket, eredményeiket. Megpróbál rávilágítani az új egyesületek létrejöttének okaira, a két diákcsoportosulás eszmei ellentéteire, sőt ellenségeskedésére, eltérő gondolkodásuk gyökereire, ideáljaikra, valamint arra is, hogy mi volt a közös a diákság elvárásaiban. Bemutatja, hogy milyen események vezettek az újabb egyesületek megszűnéséhez. Ezekből a fiatalokból alakult ki a későbbi értelmiségi réteg, már innen ered politikai megosztottságuk, ezért fontos megismerni azokat a tényezőket, amelyek meghatározták mindkét csoport korai politikai elköteleződését.
Egy méltatlanul elfeledett egyetemi kiadványsorozat - A Debreceni Református Kollégium Tanárképző Intézetének dolgozatai
Authors: Győri L. János
Published: July 2020

A budapesti Eötvös Collégium mintájára szerveződő debreceni Református Tanárképző Intézet 1925–1952 között kiegészítő képzés keretében a hazai református középiskolák számára nevelt tanárokat. Az intézet hallgatói önálló tudományos tevékenység végzéséhez is komoly impulzusokat kaptak szakvezető tanáraiktól, és többen közülük a 20. század derekán a magyar kulturális élet és oktatás meghatározó alakjaivá váltak. A hallgatók doktori disszertációit és egyéb tudományos dolgozatait közlő kiadványsorozat 28 kötete 1936–1943 között jelent meg kb. 3000 oldal terjedelemben. A tanulmány az „Acta Instituti Paedagogici Collegii Debreceniensis” cimű kiadványsorozat megszületésének és  megszűnésének körülményeit és annak szellemi profilját igyekszik bemutatni.
különös debreceni diákfogadalom -A Tisza István Internátus 17-es szobájában lakó hallgatók 1925. december 15-én egymásnak tett ígérete
Authors: Mudrák József
Published: July 2020

Ritka forrásnak számít a történettudományban, amikor egy dokumentum néhány ember egymásnak tett ígéretét örökíti meg. Még érdekesebbé tesz egy ilyen forrást, ha szobatársak esküjéről van szó. 1925. december 15-én Debrecenben, a Tisza István Internátus 17-es szobájában lakó öt diák, akik évek óta együtt töltötték mindennapjaikat, úgy döntöttek, hogy fogadalmat tesznek. Írásba foglalták, hogy hat év múlva, pünkösd napján találkozni fognak Budapesten, a Gellért Szálló halljában. A fogadalom szövege pontosan tükrözi a kort, amelyben keletkezett és azt a „neobarokk” társadalmat, amely az 1920-as éveket jellemezte. Azt, hogy a találkozóra 1931-ben sor került-e, nem tudhatjuk, de a szobatársak szoros barátságából joggal következtethetünk arra, hogy igen. A most közlésre kerülő fogadalom nagyon ritka és különösen értékes forrása a két világháború közötti hallgatói életnek.

Land type changes in the super wet tropical rain forest area caused fluctuations in the diversity of soil fauna which caused disruption of ecosystem balance. This research was conducted for four months, in November 2017-February 2018. Data on soil fauna was taken using pitfall traps and hand sorting. Furthermore, the soil fauna data obtained were identified and calculated the value of the diversity index, evenness and dominance on each type of land for four months. The results showed that forests had a high diversity index of soil fauna, which were 3,134, 3,313 and 3,314 in the first to the third month. While in the 4th month the forest diversity index decreased to 2,981. In open land, the soil fauna diversity index value is moderate, which is 2.631, 2.998, 2.782 and the diversity index increases in the fourth month, is 3.084. Mixed gardens have a value of the fauna diversity index of 2,728, 3,113, 2,870 and increased in the fourth month of 3,084. Whereas monoculture gardens have diversity index values of 2,527, 3,214, 2,935 and 2,927. Changes in land types of super wet tropical rainforests have an effect on changes in the level of diversity of soil fauna and not always these changes reduce the level of diversity of soil fauna.
A POST STRUCTURALIST APPROACH TO THE BOOK OF DAVE BY WILL SELF
Authors: MOHRAT Diana M. Amin
Published: July 2020

The ideological representations housed in one of the post-apocalyptic narratives are considered. A poststructuralist lens is used by drawing key points from Foucault (1972) and Grossberg (1992) to explicate how post-apocalyptic narrative articulates and legitimates discursive formations of thought. This article identifies social critique and the circulation of emotion, drawing from these theorists in drawing stable points of entry in theorizing post-apocalyptic traces in their culturally situated context. Social critique can often help explain which of the various sociopolitical conditions this story is emerging out of. Emotion, when conceived of as culturally political, brings discussion of the reader into the analysis and explores more ideological themes. The 2006 novel The Book of Dave represents a different attitude towards both emotion and social critique. Also, the text is unique in its use of post-apocalyptic remains, which is useful for rounding out the discussion of their roles in post-apocalyptic narratives. Overall, an argument is suggested that post-apocalyptic traces, as a crucial constituent of post-apocalyptic narrative, articulate the social critique and emotion in ways that allude to the purely textual nature of the apocalypse in order to situate stories about after The End within discursively bound context.

One of the most common diseases at present is the cancer that affects any member of the human body such as kidney tissue. Nuclear medicine is important in the examination and treatment, which uses a lot of particles in treatment such as Alpha particle. Alpha particles have a distinctive and important characteristic in the radiation therapy of the target part (the injured). This characteristic is due to its high ability to ionize the substance (the tissue) as it passes through, making their path short. However, there are many problems in radiation therapy; including damage to the area surrounding the tumor (the affected area) so it is very important to regulate the radiation carefully and accurately. In the present study, the study of the interaction of alpha particles with kidney tissue where the stopping power of the alpha particles was calculated using two methods:  Zigler formula and SRIM software also the Range and liner energy transfer (LET) and kidney tissue thickness as well as Dose and Equivalent Dose for this particle were calculated  by using Mat lab language for (0.001-1000)MeV alpha energy.

Published: July 2020

Chromite is an important source for the manufacturing of stainless steel, nichrome, paint, and chemicals industries and has wide industrial utilization. In Pakistan, the chromite deposits are mostly associated with the ophiolitic sequence resulting as an outpouring of molten material in the fractured zones of the Indian plate and the Neo-Tethys Ocean through the Cretaceous era. The discovery and documentation of chromite in Pakistan is traveling back to 1960s, but unfortunately, most of the reports are lacking authentication in reserve estimation and grading. If the modern and proper geophysical and geochemical analysis is performed to the reported area, then there are more bright chances of acquiring the more authenticate reservoir estimation, its distribution in the prospect zone and chemical composition per metric ton. The current article is an effort towards making a composite record of all the published/unpublished reports and articles regarding the chromite discovery, estimation, and extraction in Pakistan.

According to some of the surveys researchers also claimed that at the end of 2040 there will be marked high in the number of patients worldwide at around 600 million. The vast majority of our day by day exercises have gotten computerized. Computerized wellbeing considers the ever-expanding cooperative energy between cutting edge clinical advancements, development, and computerized correspondence. DM is a condition instigated by unregulated diabetes that may prompt multi-organ disappointment in patients. Because of advances in AI and man-made brainpower which empowers the early discovery and analysis of DM through a computerized procedure which is more favorable than a manual finding. Standards of AI have been utilized to assemble calculations to help prescient models for the danger of creating diabetes or its resulting difficulties. Computer-based intelligence will present a change in perspective in diabetes care from ordinary administration systems to building focused on information-driven exactness care. As per the patient's very own need, an appropriate diabetes care plan requires various fields of experts together to make up the arrangement. So, on the off chance that it is done physically, it would limit the experience and information on these experts and devour bunches of costly clinical assets also.
