Problems and Prospects of Economic Integration of Russia and South Korea in the ASEZs
Authors: Shmakova Anna S.
Published: December 2021

This article analyzes the Advanced Special Economic Zones (ASEZ) initiative in the context of economic integration of the Russian Federation and South Korea. The author of the article, relying on an extensive source base, for the first time attempts to answer the question of what factors impede the successful implementation of projects by the two countries within the framework of this initiative. The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the main problems and prospects of cooperation between the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation within the ASEZ. The study was carried out within the framework of an integrated approach using the SCAN Interfax media environment analysis system as one of the main forecasting tools. At the same time, the author draws on statistical data reflecting the state of export-import and trade turnover between the two countries over the past five years. The analysis of the source made it possible to determine that despite the huge interest of South Korean business in the emerging markets of the Russian Federation, the project could not be implemented as planned due to the complicated administrative procedures, the fundamental difference in the procedure for investing in high-tech and commercial production, lack of trust in the Russian system of economic planning as well as insufficient experience in ways of doing business with South Korean companies by Russian Far Eastern specialists.
A Popular Survey of Indian Linguistic Traditions
Authors: Desnitskaya Evgeniya A.
Published: December 2021

“Linguistics in Ancient India in the Context of Culture and Ritual” (Moscow, Vodoley, 2020, 244 p.) by O. A. Voloshina, published in Russian, presents a popular survey of Indian linguistic traditions, with a particular focus on descriptive methods of Pāṇini's grammar. A popular book on this topic written in Russian is indeed highly in demand. However, the book by Voloshina is not a popular, high-quality book, rather an imperfect compilation. The references in the book are mainly irrelevant or out of date. Works of contemporary leading scholars in Vedic studies are totally ignored. As a result, the book contains a number of errors and wrong conclusions, let alone numerous typos in Sanskrit. The author fails to distinguish consistently between historical description, the ideology of Vedic texts, and their subsequent interpretation in the frames of Hinduism. Chapters of the book that deal with Pāṇini's grammar provide parallels with concepts of modern linguistics. These seem promising, though sometimes a bit straightforward. The author is suggested to distinguish between descriptive and comparative parts in the chapters on Pāṇini.
The Unique Phenomena in the Meeting between Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese Medicine during the 17th and 18th Centuries
Authors: Truong Anh Thuan
Published: December 2021

Based on academic achievements of, primarily, Chinese and Vietnamese researchers including materials recorded in the form of writings, reports, diaries, and letters sent to Europe by Western missionaries operating in China and Vietnam in the 17th and 18th centuries, and at the same time combining the application of two main research methods of Science and History (historical method and logical method) with other research methods (systematization, analysis, synthesis, statistics, etc.) and especially the comparative method, this article aims to clarify two points of focus. The first is the open attitude of Chinese and Vietnamese rulers in accepting Western medical achievements and the positive, respectful, and admiring views of some missionaries towards different aspects of traditional Chinese and Vietnamese medicine. The second is the contradiction in some Western missionaries' perception and actions when they criticized the superstition in the way of disease diagnosis and treatment of the Vietnamese and Chinese, especially the Taoist priests, however they committed to such approaches in the process of examining and treating indigenous people. The study of some of the phenomena that arose during the connections made between Western medicine and traditional Chinese and Vietnamese medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries as mentioned above would make a certain contribution to the study of the history of the East-West cultural exchange in China and Vietnam in general, as well as the medical history in the two countries, in particular during this period.
The History of Formation of the Japanese Collection in the National Library of Russia
Authors: Philippov Evgeny A.
Published: December 2021

The article introduces the history of the formation of the Japanese collection in the National Library of Russia. Materials in Japanese are available in various departments of the library; the article focuses on the largest collection of materials in Japanese, namely the Japanese collection of the Department of Asian and African Countries Literature (DAAСL). An attempt is made to briefly present two topics: firstly, the history of the Japanese collection and the department, and secondly, the history and sources of the acquisition and formation of the Japanese fund. Therefore, the article is divided into two sections. In both sections, the history of the DAAСL and the topic of international book exchange in the library are closely interconnected with the main topic of the article, the formation of the Japanese collection. The author also emphasizes the difficulties, negative factors and challenges faced by the fund and the library, not to underestimate the role of the Japanese collection of NLR, but to show what solutions were found throughout its history.
Unusual Sculptures of Buddhist Deities in Japan in the Halo of Legends and Historical Facts
Authors: Kuzhel Yurii L. , Breslavets Tatiana I.
Published: December 2021

Diverse, unusual images of Buddhist deities are ubiquitous in Japan. In a number of ways, they differ from traditional temple images, demonstrating a deviation from the canon, which dictates certain, centuries-old norms and rules regarding postures, position of feet, fingers, gestures, symbols. Simplification of expressive means, a stylized image become the predominant features in the image of extraordinary images. The appearance of unusual Buddhist sculptures in the plastic field of the country is often associated with the existence of legends, traditions, and also facts that took place throughout the history of Japan among the population. The iconography of unusual Buddhas is very diverse and encompasses both the Buddhas themselves and the bodhisattvas, Kings of Light, Heavenly Kings, and so on. Six-armed Jizō, Rope-tied Jizō, Yata Jizō, Child-giving Jizō are added to the familiar images of the Bodhisattva Jizō. Amida Buddha, who is habitually portrayed as sitting frontally, appears in a new form – standing and in profile or with his head bowed. A very colourful group is represented by deities sitting on zoomorphic thrones – lions, elephants, riding birds – knocked out of the canonical image. The traditional images of the Eleven-headed, Thousand-armed Bodhisattva Kannon always seemed unusual, although they became familiar. However, placing the bodhisattva on a mount bird – a four-legged, eight-headed raven gives reason to consider this sculpture unusual. In unusual sculptures, there is a deviation from the norm, an abstraction from the traditional image. Aesthetic ideals are not realized through a complex of canons, rather through a new figurative language, not yet fixed by tradition.
Menores, inmigrantes y retornados desde Estados Unidos a Oaxaca, México: Los nuevos “otros” y los desafíos de la (re)inserción escolar
Authors: Rodríguez-Cruz Marta
Published: December 2021

La política migratoria de Trump da continuidad al retorno de mexicanos a su país de origen. La magnitud del flujo, la alta presencia de niñas, niños y adolescentes y la complejidad y diversidad de sus trayectorias y características constituyen elementos distintivos del actual retorno. Uno de los estados mexicanos que más migración en retorno recibe es el de Oaxaca, configurado desde los años ochenta como uno de los principales expulsores de migrantes a Estados Unidos que ahora regresan acompañados de sus hijos menores. Consecuentemente, el sistema educativo, principal vía de (re)inserción de la niñez y la adolescencia a la sociedad en contextos migratorios, experimenta una mayor demanda de servicios por parte de esta población en edad escolar con características y necesidades distintivas. Los hallazgos de esta investigación muestran los principales elementos que impiden la (re)inserción al sistema educativo mexicano de las niñas, niños y adolescentes procedentes de Estados Unidos y sus consecuencias.

¿De la disrupción a la institucionalización? El caso del movimiento indígena de Bolivia
Authors: Springerová Pavlína , Vališková Barbora
Published: December 2021

El artículo examina la relación entre institucionalización del movimiento indígena boliviano y su dinámica en el sentido de su actividad de protesta y su cohesión interna durante el período 1997–2014, para capturar el posible cambio en la institucionalización del movimiento con la llegada de Evo Morales al poder en 2006. En base al estudio hemerográfico de la prensa boliviana, el análisis concluye que el movimiento indígena pasó por la institucionalización bajo el gobierno de Morales, el hecho que está reflejado en la creciente representación indígena en las estructuras del poder estatal. Sin embargo, la institucionalización era un proceso selectivo y prefirió organizaciones campesinas antes que el sector indígena originario, que al contrario experimentó más bien cooptación que institucionalización. La selectividad del proceso produjo diferentes efectos en la movilización de las organizaciones individuales. La política favorable y el acceso a la estructura estatal moderó al sector campesino, mientras las organizaciones indígenas originarias afrontaron las estrategias gubernamentales de división.

Published: December 2021

ntroduction The aim of this study was to evaluate cases of impacted maxillary canines (IMC) using cone beam tomography (CBCT) and panoramic images in an attempt to assess if panoramic radiographs can provide information compatible with CBCT results regarding canine position and root resorption. Methodology Fifty-six impacted maxillary canines from 48 patients were radiographically evaluated. The positions of the canine teeth were classified by Sector localization on panoramic radiographs and the same teeth were also analyzed by KPG on CBCT. Root resorptions in maxillary lateral incisors were also evaluated on CBCT. The relationships between panoramic and CBCT findings were compared by Chi-square test and Fischer’s exact test. Results Statistically significant correlations were found between panoramic Sectors and KPG indexes (p<0.001). KPG index values of 1, 3 and 4 corresponded to the panoramic Sectors 1, 4 and 5, respectively; but KPG index 2 matched the panoramic Sectors 3 and more often 2. Mid-alveolar impaction generally coincided with score 1 for both KPG index and panoramic Sector. In palatally IMC, this score value was generally 2 or 3 for the KPG index and 4 for the panoramic Sector (p≤0.001). Root resorptions in maxillary lateral incisors showed significant differences according to Sector localization and KPG index (p<0.05), namely they coincided with 2 and 3 in Sector evaluation and 2, 3 and 4 in KPG index. Conclusions Sector location on OPG is found to be related to KPG index on CBCT, and it can help evaluate mainly certain positions of impacted canines; thus, unnecessary CBCT scans are not requested.

Authors:   Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, El Bachaoui Samy
Published: December 2021

Background Titanium is traditionally the material of choice for osteosynthesis in maxillofacial surgery and has a wide array of application in this field. Conversely, a growing interest for alternative fixation methods has emerged in the literature. Promising results have been reported for 3D-designed and manufactured (CAD/CAM) titanium materials, whereas the use of biodegradable materials seems to be a more controversial topic. Objective To conduct a narrative review on the complications related to osteosynthesis materials in maxillofacial surgery in terms of rejection-, removal-, corrosion- and particle detection rates. Data Sources A literature search was performed in April 2020 using the electronic database PubMed (National Library of Medicine, NCBI). The search included studies published between 1999 and March 2019. Study Selection Articles were eligible for inclusion when data for the outcomes of interest were available. Data Extraction Complication rates including rejection-, removal-, corrosion- and particle detection rates were extracted. Data Synthesis The data were synthesized and analyzed according to the different types of osteosynthesis materials and fixation methods. Finally, the results were summarized and recommendations were listed for different types of surgical indications.

Published: December 2021

Background Dental implants are ankylosed in the bone without a periodontal ligament resulting in a lack of micro-mobility during chewing. Consequently, occlusion with dental implants may be at greater risk, specifically when the teeth come into contact in lateral excursive movements. Objective A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify occlusal concepts that were most favorable for implant-retained fixed restorations. Data Sources A search of the literature was conducted using PubMed and EndNote literature online software databases. Keywords were used to assist in the identification of the literature. Study Selection The literature search identified 49 articles using PubMed and 33 articles using the author created EndNote database. Data Extraction Two occlusal concepts were identified, namely mutually protected occlusion and group function unilateral occlusion. None of the articles demonstrated clear scientific evidence to identify superiority of one concept over the other. Data Synthesis Based upon the systematic review of the literature, no scientific evidence was identified favoring any specific occlusal concept.
Kiriath-jearim: In Judah or in Benjamin?
Authors: Levin Yigal
Published: December 2021

The town of Kiriath-jearim, identified at Deir el-ʿAzar above the village of Abu-Ghosh, has come to scholarly attention recently, due to the renewed excavations led by Israel Finkelstein and Thomas Römer. Based on their preliminary finds and on their reading of the biblical texts, they have interpreted the Iron Age II B-C fortified compound that they have begun to expose on the summit of the site as a northern Israelite fortified compound, “aimed at dominating the vassal kingdom of Judah”. This paper reexamines the position of Kiriath-jearim on the border between Judah and Benjamin according to both the biblical texts and the site’s geographical location, within the context of the ongoing discussions on the biblical tribal territories, that of Benjamin in particular, the “ark narrative” and other texts that mention Kiriath-jearim, and challenges the excavators’ interpretation of the character and purpose of the site during the Iron Age II.

Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) with theranostic applications have engrossed innumerable attention in breast cancer therapies. Breast cancer is a malignancy that affects numerous women globally and has a bad prognosis. These novel MNP formulations have ultra-small particle sizes, high intrinsic magnetic field characteristic, effective imaging, drug targeting, and drug delivery characteristics. MNP also has anticancer properties as well as imaging and magnetic targeting abilities. Theranostic application of MNP can be used in preclinical and clinical settings, and it could be beneficial in cancer treatment and imaging. Furthermore, if these nanoparticles can be functionalized with antibodies or ligands, they can be used as new platforms in a variety of biological applications. In a nutshell, theranostic application of MNP is a small step in the long fight against breast cancer.

Japan will face a super-aged society in the near future, in which 40% of the population will be over 65 years of age. However, prolongation of life expectancy is inevitably associated with greater numbers of frail old people who need help or assistance in their daily activities. The percentage of the old-old population in 2020, comprising more frail people compared with the young-old population, exceeded 14% of the total population in Japan. In such a situation, many older Japanese wish to be healthy for their entire life and continue to live in their hometown with a sense of security until the end of their life. Under such circumstances, we should establish a society in which old people can enjoy a healthy, satisfying life through social participation and contribution. In this review article, we discuss about the importance of preventive care and successful assisted living in health promotion policy for older population in Japan, a superaged country.

Published: December 2021

Millets are nutritious, easily digestible, gluten-free whole grains. They are good sources of proteins, fibers and iron content. They are also good sources of polyphenols, flavonoids and other phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory effects. This case study aims to show that eating millets twice a day for breakfast and dinner helps to lose weight. Kodo millet, little millet, foxtail millet and barnyard millet were included in the diet. Consuming these millets for four weeks, the average weight loss per week was noted as 1.2kg. Body Mass Index (BMI) was reduced from 28.8 to 26.6.
Optimization of an in silico protocol to characterize membrane PAINS
Authors: Magalhães Pedro R. , Reis Pedro B. P. S. , Vila-Viçosa Diogo , Machuqueiro Miguel , Victor Bruno L.
Published: December 2021

Membrane Pan-Assay INterference compoundS (PAINS) are a class of molecules that interact non-specifically with lipid bilayers and alter their physicochemical properties. An early identification of these compounds avoids chasing false leads and the needless waste of time and resources in drug discovery campaigns. In this work, we optimized an in silico protocol based on umbrella sampling (US)/MD simulations to discriminate between compounds with different membrane PAINS behavior. We showed that the method is quite sensitive to membrane thickness fluctuations, which was mitigated by changing the US-reference position to the P-atoms of the closest interacting monolayer. The computational efficiency was improved further by decreasing the number of umbrellas and adjusting their strength and position in our US scheme. The ISDM-calculated membrane permeability coefficients confirmed that resveratrol and curcumin have distinct membrane PAINS characteristics and indicate a misclassification of nothofagin in a previous work. Overall, we have presented here a promising in silico protocol which can be adopted as a future reference method to identify membrane PAINS.
Merging Directed C−H Activations with High-Throughput Experimentation: Development of Predictable Iridium-Catalyzed C−H Aminations Applicable to Late-Stage Functionalization
Authors: Weis Erik , Johansson Maria , Korsgren Pernilla , Martín-Matute Belén , Johansson Magnus J
Published: December 2021

Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed directed C−H amination methodology developed using a high-throughput experimentation (HTE)-based strategy, applicable for the needs of automated modern drug discovery. The informer library approach for investigating accessible directing group chemical space for the reaction, in combination with functional group tolerance screening and substrate scope investigations, allowed for the generation of an empirical predictive model to guide future users. Applicability to late-stage functionalization of complex drugs and natural products, in combination with multiple deprotection protocols leading to the desirable aniline matched pairs, serve to demonstrate the utility of the method for drug discovery. Finally reaction miniaturization to a nano molar range highlights the opportunities for more sustainable screening with decreased material consumption.

Published: December 2021

Photosynthesis has been shown to be a highly efficient process for energy transfer in plants and bacteria. It has been proposed that quantum mechanics plays a key role in this energy transfer process. There has been evidence that photosynthetic systems may exhibit quantum coherence. As artificial light-harvesting complexes have been proposed to mimic photosynthesis, it is prudent that artificial photosynthetic materials should also be tested for quantum coherence. To date, such studies have not been reported. In this work, we examine one such system, the BODIPY light harvesting complex (LHC), which has been shown to exhibit classical energy transfer via Förster resonance energy transfer. We compare the photon absorption of the LHC with the BODIPY chromophore by performing UV-visible, transient absorption, broadband pump-probe (BBPP) and two-dimensional electronic (2DES) spectroscopy. The 2DES and BBPP show evidence for quantum coherence, with oscillation frequencies of 100 cm-1 and 600 cm-1, which are attributable to vibronic, or exciton-phonon type coupling. Further computational analysis suggests strong couplings of the molecular orbitals of the LHC resulting from the stacking of neighbouring BODIPY chromophore units may contribute to undesirable hypochromic effects .
Identifying Novel Inhibitors for Hepatic Organic Ani-on Transporting Polypeptides by Machine-learning based Virtual Screening

Published: December 2021

Integration of statistical learning methods with structure-based modeling approaches is a contemporary strategy to identify novel lead compounds in drug discovery. Hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1) are classical off-targets and it is well recognized that their ability to interfere with a wide range of chemically unrelated drugs, environmental chemicals, or food additives can lead to unwanted adverse effects like liver toxicity, drug-drug or drug-food interactions. Therefore, the identification of novel (tool) compounds for hepatic OATPs by virtual screening approaches and subsequent experimental validation is a major asset for elucidating structure-function relationships of (related) transporters: they enhance our understanding about molecular determinants and structural aspects of hepatic OATPs driving ligand binding and selectivity. In the present study, we performed a consensus virtual screening approach by using different types of machine learning models (proteochemometric models, conformal prediction models, and XGBoost models for hepatic OATPs), followed by molecular docking of preselected hits using previously established structural models for hepatic OATPs. Screening the diverse REAL drug-like set (Enamine) shows a comparable hit rate for OATP1B1 (36% actives) and OATP1B3 (32% actives), while the hit rate for OATP2B1 was even higher (66% actives). Percentage inhibition values for 44 selected compounds were subsequently determined using dedicated in vitro assays, and guided the priori-tization of several highly potent novel hepatic OATP inhibitors: six (strong) OATP2B1 inhibitors (IC50 values ranging from 0.04 to 6 μM), three OATP1B1 inhibitors (2.69 to 10 μM), and five OATP1B3 inhibitors (1.53 to 10 μM) inhibitors, were identified. Strikingly, two novel OATP2B1 inhibitors were uncovered (C7, H5) which show high affinity (IC50 values: 40 nM and 390 nM) comparable to the recently described estrone-based inhibitor (IC50 = 41 nM). A molecularly detailed explanation for the observed differences in ligand binding to the three transporters is given by means of structural comparison of the detected binding sites and docking poses.

Published: December 2021

Given the importance of physical activity for the prevention of overweight, this study sought to determine the type and number of physical activity risk behaviours that were associated with overweight in Croatian school children and their association with maternal characteristics – mothers’ formal education, employment, and weight status. This paper used data from the Croatian Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative study
from 2015/2016. During an eight-week period anthropometric measurements of children were taken. Data on children’s physical activity risk behaviours and their
mothers’ characteristics were provided by the mothers of 4,045 children from the
second and third grade (median age 8.6) who were included in the analysis. Insufficient
active play outdoors, excessive screen time and exhibiting two or three physical activity risk behaviours were significantly associated with childhood overweight. Children of less educated mothers had lower odds for insufficient active play outdoor and higher odds for insufficient frequenting of a sports or dancing club and exhibiting one, two or three physical activity risk behaviours. Children of mothers who were overweight had higher odds for insufficient sleeping, insufficient frequenting of a sports or dancing club and exhibiting two risk behaviours. Children of unemployed mothers had higher odds for insufficient frequenting of a sports or dancing club and for exhibiting two or three risk
behaviours. Physical activity risk behaviours in school children were associated with overweight, as well as maternal characteristics. This finding should be taken into consideration when planning and implementing health promotion and childhood overweight prevention activities.
Workplace Restructuring and its Discontents
Authors: Tie Warwick
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the role of fetish—unspoken attachments—within and against the 2020 proposal to restructure the College of Sciences at Massey University.I look at the roles played by three forms of fetish: the commodity fetish, the fetishisation of intellectual labour, and the fetish of knowledge-without-consequences. I analyse the restructuring and its opposition by mapping these fetishes and the deadlocks to which they lead. In addition to highlighting insights that the concept of fetish generates into the politics of the restructuring, I speculate on the role of fetish as a political factor in the contemporary moment.

THE ARTISTIC IMAGES OF POST-DEATH IN THE POETRY BY JOSEPH BRODSKY AND OLGA SEDAKOVA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Spivakovskii Pavel E.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes how Joseph Brodsky and Olga Sedakova depict the posthumous existence of a human. Brodsky holds an agnostic view on the world, tending to a positivism. The poet concentrates on depicting the Homeric horror of the very fact of death and its inevitability. Olga Sedakova tends to the Christian view of the world, taking into account the experience of the catastrophes of the 20th century, literature after Auschwitz. Unlike the traditionalist image of Paradise, Sedakova sees in it not only ‘incredible happiness’, but also an experience of tragedy and compassion, which leads her to a very unconventional form of idyll.

This study’s primary objective was to try to shorten the training time of the Reinforcement Learning (RL) method, which is one of the Machine Learning methods, by using the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method during training. In this study, a balancing robot with two wheels that can be controlled independently on the same axis is used. While the robot is in balance, the RL software block follows how the PID block maintains the balance, and the RL blog learned how to behave against disturbing factors without physical falling / rising. In the training of RL, it is necessary to create approximately 500 policy / reward / path equations between the current state and future state matrices. Obviously, the amount of equations will increase considerably when subjects such as old position and acceleration are added. Approximately 1000 trial / error is required for training purposes. This means many falling / rising cycles. With the method we present, the RL block has learned to keep the robot in balance without falling and requiring human intervention in 900 trials. This shortened the training time by about 60%.

Burung hantu merupakan burung pemangsa nokturnal yang saat ini banyak dijadikan hewan peliharaan di Indonesia. Namun informasi terkait penyakit dan pengobatan burung hantu masih sangat terbatas. Pengawasan penggunaan antibiotik di Indonesia juga masih lemah sehingga dapat terjadi resistensi antibiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kepekaan bakteri Staphylococcus Koagulase Negatif (CoNS) dari swab kloaka satu ekor Javan owlet (Glaucidium castanopterum) dan dua ekor buffy fish owl (Ketupa ketupu) yang berasal dari penangkaran burung hantu di Depok terhadap lima jenis antibiotik menggunakan metode Kirby-Bauer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bakteri CoNS dari swab kloaka satu ekor javan Owlet dan satu ekor buffy fish owl resisten terhadap eritromisin, namun kedua isolat ini masih sensitif terhadap gentamisin, siprofloksasin, doksisiklin dan tetrasiklin. Untuk isolat ketiga yang berasal dari satu ekor buffy fish owl masih sensitif terhadap kelima antibiotik yang diujikan

Peningkatan layanan perpustakaan dengan media SMS gateway: studi kasus Perpustakaan Kebun Raya Bogor
Authors: Sutarsyah
Published: December 2021

Pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan layanan perpustakaan ke pemustaka, dalam tulisan ini Perpustakaan Kebun Raya Bogor melakukan layanan SMS sebagai media komunikasi untuk meningkatkan layanan perpustakaan. Layanan SMS dilakukan karena ruang perpustakaan pindah dan memiliki jarak yang cukup jauh sekitar 2 km dengan kantor utama, sebagai pusat segala aktifitas termasuk peneliti sebagai pengguna aktif perpustakaan.  Hal ini menyebabkan akses ke perpustakaan jauh sehingga berdampak pada jumlah kunjungan para peneliti menurun, terlambat dalam penyampaian informasi-informasi baru, dan tingkat disiplin pengembalian buku ke perpustakaan menjadi kurang baik. Tujuan dari layanan ini untuk mengetahui respon peneliti  terhadap layanan SMS  Gateway. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan melakukan uji coba prototip.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan respon positif dari peneliti dengan permintaan beberapa artikel yang dibutuhkan untuk dicarikan literaturnya oleh perpustakaan.
Ekosistem Yang Mempengaruhi Pengembangan Pustakawan
Authors: Rahman Saleh Abdul
Published: December 2021

Pengembangan perpustakaan sangat dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan pemustaka yang akan dilayaninya. Lingkungan tersebut saat ini dikenal dengan ekosistem VUCA yaitu Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity dan Ambiguity. VUCA sendiri muncul akibat dari perkembangan teknologi yang saat ini disebut revolusi industri 4.0. Karya tulis ini merupakan literature review atau tinjauan literatur yang membahas pengaruh ekosistem VUCA dalam pengembangan perpustakaan berdasarkan kepada literatur dan laporan hasil penelitian terkait. Literur dikumpulkan baik melalui daring maupun literatur tercetak kemudian dibahas. Berbagai karya tulis yang relevan dengan ekosistem VUCA dikumpulkan dari buku, jurnal, maupun situs web, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Berbagai pengembangan perpustakaan harus mempertimbangkan ekosistem VUCA agar layanan yang diberikan oleh perpustakaan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pemustaka di era revolusi industri 4.0. Perpustakaan termasuk entitas yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan atau ekosistem VUCA. Karena itu agar perpustakaan bisa survive di era teknologi desruptive yang menyebabkan VUCA tersebut, maka pustakawan sebagai motor penggerak perpustakaan harus mempunyai terobosan layanan yang bisa keluar dari jebakan VUCA.

Big data di era revolusi industri dapat menjadi sumber informasi penting dalam berbagai bidang termasuk pertanian. Berbagai data komoditas pertanian dari hulu sampai hilir menjadi informasi penting yang akan menjadi pengetahuan dalam meningkatkan produktivitasnya. Manajemen pengetahuan dapat menjadi pilihan dalam pengelolaan berbagai informasi komoditas pertanian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan big data pertanian yang menjadi sumber manajemen pengetahuan pada komoditas pertanian. Komoditas pertanian yang dapat dikelola big datanya sesuai dengan unit Eselon I yang membawahinya dapat berupa tanaman pangan, tanaman hortikultura, peternakan dan perkebunan. Pengelolaan bigdata membutuhkan dukungan teknologi dan SDM pengelolanya.  Melalui manajemen pengetahuan komoditas pertanian, berbagai pengetahuan baik tacit maupun explicit dari dalam lembaga sendiri akan terdokumentasikan dengan baik dan bermanfaat bagi lembaga. Implementasi manajemen pengetahuan untuk komoditas pertanian akan melalui proses penciptaan, penyimpanan pengetahuan, berbagi pengetahuan dan aplikasi pengetahuan. Implementasi manajemen pengetahuan harus didukung oleh sumber daya manusia (people), proses (process) dan teknologi (technologi). Melalui implementasi manajemen pengetahuan komoditas pertanian akan meningkatkan peran serta perpustakaan lingkup Kementan RI dalam mendukung pembangunan pertanian. Jika selama ini perpustakaan perannya belum diperhitungkan, melalui manajemen pengetahuan akan menjadi rujukan dalam pengembangan komoditas pertanian
