Drag Storytimes and Bibliographic Invisibility
Authors: Barriage Sarah , Strickland Bloch Beth , Kitzie Vanessa
Published: February 2025

Drag storytimes are one type of programming that public libraries offer to address the marginalization of LGBTQIA+ children and families in library spaces. The books read during these storytimes often feature LGBTQIA+ characters and themes. In this work in progress, we will compare the subject metadata assigned within the Library of Congress Catalog and the social cataloging platform LibraryThing to a corpus of picture books read during drag storytimes. We will consider the limitations of using traditional subject headings in capturing the diversity of LGBTQIA+ themes and if the application of user-generated tags offers a more nuanced reflection of content.

Open-Mindedness and Information Literacy
Authors: Fischer Meredith
Published: February 2025

With growing interest in the relationship between information literacy and intellectual virtue, the time is ripe for a closer look at open-mindedness. A traditional approach to the trait offers a limited perspective and does not fit well with a socio-cultural approach to information literacy. This presentation explores intra-active open-mindedness as an alternative account that lifts the trait out of the individual and places it in conversation with a socio-cultural approach.
Feminisms in the Archives
Authors: Allard Danielle , Oliphant Tami , Chambers Thane
Published: February 2025

The complex relationship between archival records and institutions, power, and history making is a shared concern of both archival and feminist research and praxis. This paper reports key findings of a critical literature review that examines the presence and prevalence of critical feminist theories, practices, and approaches employed in archival studies research between 1973-2024. Our key findings highlight how feminist approaches not only serve archival studies research that aims to promote visibility, credibility, control, and care to communities whose voices have been systematically excluded from mainstream archives but also encourages an array of archival functions and practices embedded in critical intersectional feminist values, methods, and ethics.

Improving Lake Water Clarity by Cultivation of Water Hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes)
Authors: Mursalin  , Hizazi Achmad , Nazarudin  , Subagyo Agus
Published: February 2025

Research on the use of water hyacinth (WH) to improve the quality of polluted water has been widely reported, but discussions on the ability of WH to clear turbid water are still rare. This research examines the possibility of using WH as a natural clarifier for Lake Bata. Treatments with 3 variations in the percentage of lake closure with WH cultivation (25, 50, and 75%) were applied for 40 days with 3 repetitions. Water quality and turbidity measurements were carried out every 4 days. The data was analyzed descriptively in graphical form to see a model of these changes. It was found that the pollutants Fe, Hg, nitrate, phosphate and ammonia were present in very small and safe quantities, but the water turbidity level did not meet the standards of the Indonesian Minister of Health yet. During the WH growth, the turbidity decreasing follows the equation Y(25) = - 0.114x + 28.52; Y(50) = -0.195x + 29.83; and Y(75) = -0.235x + 30.14 for cover percentages of 25, 50 and 75% respectively, where y for the turbidity (NTU) and x for WH growth time (days). To meet turbidity standards, WH coverage percentages of 25, 50, and 75%, require cultivation periods of 32, 28, and 24 days, respectively.

LMDI and STIRPAT Analysis of Carbon Emissions in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region: An Industrial Advancement Perspective
Authors: Qiannian Zhang
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the driving factors of carbon emissions in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, a key economic region in western China, using the LMDI decomposition method and the STIRPAT model. The results reveal that energy structure optimization and energy consumption intensity reduction are the primary drivers of carbon emission reductions, highlighting the importance of clean energy adoption and improvements in energy efficiency. In contrast, economic growth and secondary industry expansion are the dominant contributors to carbon emission increases, reflecting the energy-intensive nature of industrial activities and the strong coupling between economic development and energy consumption. The tertiary industry exhibits a dual role, with its expansion reducing emissions in regions with higher levels of green transformation but increasing emissions in areas dominated by traditional service sectors. Industrial advancement (or industrial structural upgrading) emerges as a critical strategy for mitigating emissions, while population size has a relatively small direct impact, though urbanization amplifies emissions in high-density areas.
This study contributes methodologically by integrating the LMDI and STIRPAT approaches, providing a robust framework for analyzing carbon emission drivers. Empirically, it highlights significant regional heterogeneity in emission drivers across counties and districts, offering valuable insights for targeted low-carbon development strategies. The findings underscore the need to accelerate clean energy adoption, enhance energy efficiency, promote green industrial transformation, and optimize urbanization patterns. These results provide a scientific basis for formulating policies to achieve carbon neutrality and sustainable development in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration.
Rhinoceros as a Symbol of Admiration in Setswana Indigenous Poetry, Stories and Proverbs
Authors: Sekepe Daniel Matjila 
Published: February 2025

This article expounds on the relationship between Batswana and the rhinoceros. The co-existence of Batswana and the rhinoceros brought the two together. There are different types of relationships like commensalism, i.e., metabiotic, phoresy and microbiota. People have utilized animals in a variety of useful relationships. Animals improve the welfare of humans in many ways, ranging from providing companionship to facilitating rescues during natural disasters and for recreation purposes. It is also believed that the Batswana learned some of their virtues from the rhino. They learn some of their virtues from metabiotic of the rhinoceros’ relationship with the oxpecker. When the Batswana prayed for rain, they emulated the rhinoceros by stomping the ground. The Batswana are loving people who look after one another. The study assesses the connection or affiliation between their genera. A mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals. It’s influenced by behaviors essential to the mental, physical and social health and well-being of both. The vegetarian’s role is to maximize the potential of this relationship and promote the well-being of people and animals. The Batswana and the rhinoceros shared space. In some areas, they work and help each other for their survival, whereas in other cases they harm each other as indicated in poetry, stories, metaphors and proverbs. This entanglement encompasses the transference of animal behavioral traits to humans. The rhinoceros played a role in helping Batswana who did not have a well where they could get water for their cows.

Published: February 2025

Spontaneous intestinal perforations in neonates and infants are rare and pose significant challenges, especially in low-resource settings. We present a unique case of a female infant treated at Mbale Tertiary Hospital, Uganda, with 17 spontaneous intestinal perforations. She presented with acute abdominal distension, peritonitis, and septic shock. Emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed multiple perforations along the small intestine, with no evidence of obstruction, necrotizing enterocolitis, or trauma, confirming the diagnosis.

Surgical management involved resecting affected bowel segments and performing primary anastomosis. Postoperative care included infection control, nutritional support, and close monitoring. Despite the tertiary surgical care due to the complexity of the critical condition, the infant succumbed. This case underscores the importance of early recognition, multidisciplinary collaboration, and timely surgical intervention in managing rare pediatric conditions. Documenting such cases enhances understanding of spontaneous intestinal perforations and informs strategies for improving outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Purse seine is one of the dominant fishing gears in the waters of Belawan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Fishing activities can run well if fishermen know the factors that influence fishing success. The lunar day period can indicate a good time for fishing operations because there are changes in light intensity during each lunar day period and will affect fish that have positive or negative phototactic properties towards light. Differences in intensity will affect the volume of catch when fishermen operate. Research activities will be carried out from November 2022 to March 2023, taking part in fishing operations with purse seiners in Belawan, North Sumatra. This research aims to determine the composition and quantity of catches, determine the factors causing the diversity of catches in the lunar day period, and determine the amount of catch production in the lunar day period. The composition of the catch according to the moon phase is dominated by the new moon at 5,900 kg (40%), the first semi-bright moon phase (quadrant I) 4,215 kg (30%), the second semi-bright moon (quadrant II) 3,250 kg (17%), and at Full Moon Phase 3,465 Kg (13%). In the New Moon Phase period, it is a lunar phase that is very effective for the fishing process, because the catch obtained is the largest catch compared to other lunar phases, whereas in the Bright Moon Phase the catch is not very effective because the catch is less than optimal, which affects selling value. The lunar day period factor will indirectly impact the availability of fish resources, so fishermen need to know changes to the lunar day period system.

How to control reactions of syngas
Authors: Michael Ioelovich
Published: February 2025

As is known, syngas containing a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is used to synthesize various products such as methanol, artificial methane, and gasoline. In this research, a complete thermodynamic analysis was performed in a wide range of temperatures and pressures to predict the most probable direction of the synthesis reactions. It was shown that in the case of methanol synthesis at normal pressure, an increase in the reaction temperature above 400 K leads to the positive value of the Gibbs potential, as a result of which this reaction is blocked. An increase in pressure to at least 3 MPa is necessary to implement the methanol synthesis reaction. Under this pressure, the methanol synthesis can be carried out in the temperature range from 480 to 530 K. In addition, to enhance the alcohol yield, this process requires the use of a special catalyst. Artificial n-octane is mainly formed at 3 MPa in the temperature range from 530 to 600 K along with the use of a catalyst to improve the reaction selectivity. Selective methane synthesis may occur at a syngas pressure of 3 MPa but at high reaction temperatures, between 900 and 1200 K. To reduce the upper temperature of this process and increase the yield of the final product without significantly changing the reaction rate, a special catalyst is used. The reactions of syngas cease at normal pressure when the temperature increases above 900 K. At a syngas pressure of 3 MPa the synthesis reactions should cease if the temperature rises above 1200K,

Published: February 2025

The presence of heavy metal Cr(VI) in water indicates environmental pollution. Heavy metal Cr(VI) that exceeds the standard can be harmful to health because it is toxic and carcinogenic. Activated carbon can be used as a heavy metal adsorbent. Modification of activated carbon using nitric acid can increase metal adsorption capacity. Therefore, this study aims to determine the kinetic of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal by corn cob-based activated carbon modified with nitric acid. The modified activated carbon was characterized by Boehm titration and FTIR spectrophotometer. The adsorption capacity was identified in various parameters, involving the initial concentration of Cr(VI), pH value, contact time, and concentration of the adsorbent to obtain the optimal Cr(VI) removal efficiency value. The most optimal Cr(VI) adsorption was obtained at an activated carbon dosage of 3 g/L, pH value of 1, contact time of 140 minutes, and 100 mg/l Cr(VI) concentration. Based on adsorption kinetics data, the pseudo-second-order equation was obtained (R2 =0.994). The adsorption phenomenon followed the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.998) with an optimum adsorption capacity of 28.32 mg/g. Corn cob-activated carbon modified with nitric acid has many acidic groups that act as effective active sites for reducing Cr(VI) from water.

Then the factor that becomes the focus of this research is unregistered divorce (not before the Court) with the highest number of perpetrators, namely ten people who have an impact on the occurrence of a second marriage in a series, because there is one of the administrative requirements which cannot be fulfilled is the divorce certificate. The interesting thing about the serial marriage, which is carried out by the wife, which if it is considered in the positive legal status that applies in Indonesia, she is still married to her first husband. This type of research is classified as an empirical legal research type with a static socio-legal or legal sociology. The data analysis technique used in empirical legal research is to take a systematic and factual picture. The results showed that the practice of unregistered divorces that occurred in Sedayulawas Village, Brondong District, is caused by several things, such as the economy, lack of understanding of the importance of recording divorce, and distance Courts far from the village. The practice of unregistered divorce is carried out very diverse ranging from vows of divorce verbally and in front of the village mudin (not before the Court) whose position does not have permanent legal force or is not recognized by the state. Because the implementation of divorce must be in accordance with the rules applied both in Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 and Kompilasi Hukum Islam, if it is done outside of these rules then the divorce is not valid though has complied with religious rules.

Changes in economic structure and ideology have an impact on the way modern humans view life and family. One of the paradigms shifts that has emerged is the decision of family couples to postpone pregnancy or even not to have children. This phenomenon is even starting to spread among Indonesian society, pioneered by several public figures. This article aims to explain the childfree phenomenon from the perspective of Maqasid Syari'ah Abu Ishaq Al-Syatibi and Utilitarianism. This research is classified as qualitative research using netnographic studies using several sources on social media platforms. Supported by a library research approach. The results of the research that has been carried out show that from the perspective of Maqasid Syari'ah Abu Ishaq Al-Syatibi the phenomenon of childfree is contrary to the concept of the main goal of Maqasid Syari'ah Abu Ishaq Al-Syatibi because looking after offspring is classified as the main goal where this phenomenon eliminates the nature of a woman, and This is also not in line with the purpose of marriage. In contrast to the utilitarian perspective that childlessness has an impact on reducing the number of human populations and abandoned children throughout the world, on the other hand, women have the right and freedom to choose whether to have children or not. If the decision not to have children does not harm other people and no party feels disadvantaged, the decision can be accepted. The contribution of the results of this research can be used as material for consideration in formulating policies in responding to the childfree phenomenon so that it is more open and wiser from various points of view.
UNA REFLEXIÓN SOBRE LA DIVERSIDAD CULTURAL
Authors: Imbroda Ortiz Juan José
Published: February 2025

El autor agradece la invitación de la revista universitaria ‘Modulema’ para participar en su número de enero y reflexiona sobre la diversidad cultural en Melilla. Destaca que la ciudad es un modelo de convivencia basado en la tolerancia y el respeto entre diferentes culturas y credos, una realidad tangible que se manifiesta en las relaciones humanas cotidianas. Este modelo no es resultado de una intervención política, sino de la interacción espontánea y continua entre los ciudadanos en diversos ámbitos de la vida diaria.
El autor defiende el término ‘cultura melillense’ para describir las normas sociales invisibles que guían la convivencia en la ciudad. Estas normas se han construido colectivamente, sin predominancia de un grupo sobre otro, valorando las aportaciones de cada comunidad. Ejemplos de esta convivencia incluyen la celebración conjunta de festividades como la Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, el Holi hindú, la Janukía judía y las oraciones musulmanas, que han trascendido las barreras privadas y se han integrado en el acervo cultural general.
Finalmente, el autor subraya que la diversidad cultural en Melilla es una realidad esperanzadora, protegida y fomentada por la administración local. Actividades y convenios anuales con entidades acreditadas, así como la futura creación del Museo del Patrimonio Oral, son ejemplos de cómo se promueve esta diversidad. El autor concluye agradeciendo a la Universidad de Granada por su dedicación a investigar el patrimonio inmaterial que define a Melilla como pueblo.
