Reducing the Pain of Getting your Backlog Published

Published: October 2020

Discussions about the need to document and describe collections at a gross level have been in progress for at least two decades. The original form was the 2008 Natural Collection Description (NCD), which was never ratified. Although a number of implementations were set up using it, it was by and large, acknowledged to be cumbersome and out-of-date even at inception. Over the past three years there has been a concerted effort by the Collection Description Standard (CD) Interest Group to rationalise and create a practical and usable formulation. This presentation describes its use to document the real collections of the Field Museum.

We attempted to model a set of Collections Description records by using a range of organizational levels within the Field Museum Collections, beginning at the institution-level by referencing the "Field Museum of Natural History" Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GrSciColl) record, and including its departments (e.g., "Zoology Collections"), collections (e.g., "Invertebrates Collection"), and more specific accessions (e.g., "Philip Carpenter Collection"). We then added our modeled records to a CD Wikibase site developed by Maarten Trekels to see how the CD standard could work in that system. No underlying structure was in place in Wikibase, and this allowed us to compare interpretations. It became clear very soon into the process that it was imperative to understand and clearly map out the connections between records at the different levels before attempting data entry. It was not a fun surprise as an afterthought and so systems built to implement this standard will need clear guidance on preparatory steps for data validation.

In some cases, data fit easily into the CD fields as defined, but others were more complex to think about and manipulate. Further issues included fields duplicated unnecessarily between dimensions, and some fields missing entirely. It was also difficult to compare and match newly defined terms for describing the standard (e.g., Dimension and Class) with terms defined by Wikibase (e.g., Item and property). Some aspects of the standard were confusing especially where museum concept and research needs were less than obviously aligned. Ultimately we need something useful for researchers and understandable by Collection staff.

Overall, documentation beyond plain field definitions needs to be included with the release of the standard. It should contain, but not be limited to, required core fields, fields needed to create hierarchical relationships, definitions of the difference between hierarchical and lateral relationships and resource roles associated with dimensions. Examples are also needed regarding how to plan and structure CD records that represent a complex collection. We foresee a need for extensive documentation to spare users difficulty and ultimately make the standard more usable.
A National Survey of RN-to-BSN Programs: Are They Reaching Rural Students?
Authors: Merrell Melinda A. , Probst Janice C. , Crouch Elizabeth , Abshire Demetrius A. , McKinney Selina H. , Haynes Eboni E.
Published: October 2020

Background:

Increased representation of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)–prepared nurses improves health and reduces costs. Fewer rural U.S. nurses have BSN degrees compared with the national average. RN-to-BSN programs provide an opportunity to increase the number of BSN-prepared rural nurses. However, the number of these programs targeting rural students is unknown.

Method:

Directors of RN-to-BSN programs were surveyed regarding program characteristics and efforts to target rural learners. Using mail and online return options, the response rate was 31.3%.

Results:

Only 38% of programs targeted rural RNs for recruitment. Supports for rural student recruitment and retention, including partnerships with community colleges, rural clinical placements, and online offerings, were limited in number and/or scope.

Conclusion:

RN-to-BSN programs with the capacity to recruit and retain rural learners may help increase the number of BSN-prepared rural nurses. Increased collaboration among stakeholders will support rural nurses in continuing their education.

Big Data Issues and Challenges
Authors: Kaushik Shweta
Published: October 2020

The library plays a vital role for the students, researchers, and academician as a central data storage which is utilized for accessing any required data within less time and effort. Academic libraries are rich in primary and secondary data with lots of content, which may include data from other resources also such as internet and other media. This large amount of data must provide a valuable information to the user, but it may not be same format. Librarians need to transform and analyse all the available data to the same format so that it becomes easier for the user to facilitate the required knowledge. For example, they need to create a dataset in a manner that is easy to visualize and accessible. In this regard, big data analytics tools such as information visualisation tools help the user in mining the intended information. In any case, it is assumed that the confinements and conceivable outcomes of Big data innovation are being considered and that relationships are acknowledged as precise. This chapter focus on all the possibilities of various issues and challenges that may arise while using big data with library.

Authors: Pradhan Amita S. , Hiray Swapnaja Rajesh
Published: October 2020

Information communication technology is growing at a faster speed and diversified way. Cloud computing, internet of things, 5G, and such technologies are gearing-up and resulting in proliferation of data. Data is a raw information and it has created a big data. To handle such data, big data techniques are emerging. Library and information science is a big-way service profession that mediates between the data/information and the users, letting them be students, researchers, technocrats. Big data, mostly digital data, is being generated through multiple on-line surveys and repositories. Digital and social media is the main source of generating such data. Analyzing such data according to user needs is a huge task. This is the challenge now a days to organize the data explosion, specially the volume and variety of data. Big data analytics proves to be a major help in organizing and fetching data sets pertaining to user query. The authors, in this chapter, deal with four major services of libraries, wherein time efficiency can be achieved through big data analytics. Authors have focused on thrust areas of library and information science and indicate the benefits of big data analytics for service efficiency.
Sustaining Culturally Responsive Teaching Practices
Authors: Revell Michael D.
Published: October 2020

Just as the design, delivery, and development of culturally responsive teaching are constantly informed by di-unital, both/and, mindfulness, this, then, means that restorative practices are, also, capable of developing a similar intersubjectivity. Moving restorative practices beyond the dichotomous underuse of being designed, delivered, and developed apart from conveying academic instruction allows this body of work, presented here, to instead evoke cultural responsiveness to inter-subjectively filter restorative practices within instructional planning, instructional preparation and instructional delivery. Doing so conveys academic content “through” restorative practices while restorative practices simultaneously happen “with” learners of color.

Authors: Almeida Luciano Barbosa , Soares Jakson Renner Rodrigues
Published: October 2020

The State of Ceará, located in the Brazilian Northeast, has a high tourist potential due to the beauty of its beaches and the great geomorphological differences within the territory. In addition, there are warm winds that allow the practice of wind sports throughout the state seacoast. This chapter presents three categories of analysis here interrelated with planning: wind sports, the use of social projects to improve the tourist experience, and the participation of the local community in social projects. The main objective of this chapter is to present innovations that might be implemented with the creation of a tourist route based on existing structures in the state of Ceará. The focus is to use the attractiveness of extreme wind sports linked to social responsibility (NGOs) and the strengthening of the tourist image. This chapter presents the social projects that relate tourism, social projects, and planning. Thru this job, the authors hope to give light to other destinations, which might perform the practice of benchmarking to face similar problems.

Entrepreneurial Eco-Systems for Sustainable Community-Based Tourism Development in Albania
Authors: Ciro Aida , Toska Merita
Published: October 2020

The tourism sector in Albania has been upheld as a government development priority and a promising window for overall local economic development. Although these ambitions have started to shape the governance of the sector, the inherent challenges on a governance level have meant that most of the tourism development on a local level is being led by local initiatives and the private sector service providers. These initiatives are often fueled by entrepreneurial drive and are sustained by a network of local community actors, giving rise to applied models of sustainable tourism development, as shown by numerous agritourist enterprises emerging across Albania. Through a case study approach, this chapter will focus on the role entrepreneurial eco-systems rooted in local communities can play in the development of sustainable tourism models in Albania.
Fostering Resilience by Empowering Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses in Local Communities in Post-Disaster Scenarios
Authors: Casado-Claro Maria Francisca
Published: October 2020

In September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused widespread devastation in Puerto Rico. In its aftermath, Puerto Ricans envisioned destruction as an opportunity to renovate and innovate. In this context, community-based tourism has become a key factor to foster economic recovery and build resilience in local communities. This chapter aims at analyzing some of the recovery efforts in the field of community-based tourism in the island after Hurricane Maria. Whereas on the one hand, tourism and the visitor economy occupy a prominent position in the governmental “Disaster Recovery Plan,” on the other hand various non-profit organizations are working hand in hand with local communities to tackle untapped economic opportunities. In this chapter, the authors will analyze the efforts of the Foundation for Puerto to help communities around the island transition from relief to recovery. The lessons extracted from this case could be useful for destinations that are exposed to natural disasters, or those who wish to retain population by creating tourism-related business and employment opportunities, among others.

Innovation Applied to Community Tourism
Authors: Lopes Eunice Ramos , Simoes Joao Tomaz , Nunes Maria Rita
Published: October 2020

This chapter intended to perceive the knowledge produced by the scientific community about tourism, innovation, and community tourism. In order to achieve this objective, a search was carried out in the SCOPUS database, which provided with more than 30 thousand articles from the year 1857 to 2019. It is noticed, however, that the publications that report community tourism and innovation are scarcer, which demonstrates the lack of research within the three areas. It is noticed that for future works it is interesting to insert other sources of research, such as Sicielo and Latinex, and give more visibility to productions in other languages, which gives a broader understand of other publications outside the English-speaking world.
Insular/Integration
Authors: Morsches Michael , Matthews Grant J.
Published: October 2020

Higher education often implements tightly controlled group interventions to help support struggling student groups succeed in college. Insulation of underprepared students for “academic benefit” is prevalent and isolates students until they fulfill a defined curriculum. Evidence for invasive, targeted, and culturally relevant interventions in student learning certainly exists. However, colleges need a balanced approach to student academic progress. Insular/Integration outlines the strength in identifying and implementing strategies that support student needs, insulating at-risk students from the shocks and strains of entering college underprepared, while deliberately integrating students into college resources for success and engagement. This chapter focuses on using the insular/integration framework to develop network maps, success contracts, and policy additions/revisions for a purposeful retention configuration that strategically supports students and improves interdependence.
#ArtGoals
Authors: Provoteaux Aisha Adel
Published: October 2020

This qualitative case study investigated the challenges and opportunities for fostering artistic engagement in early adolescent students. As developmental stages are likely to be factor, the experiences of three middle school teachers were analyzed to identify strategies for nurturing artistic engagement in this population. A constant comparative method of analysis of interview data revealed the following themes: the importance of artistic engagement, how to recognize it, challenges with fostering this type of engagement and strategies for overcoming them, opportunities for promoting artistic engagement, the developmental needs of adolescent students, their relationship to artistic engagement and the implications for the secondary art curriculum. Ultimately, it was found that while stages of development do influence artistic engagement, extrinsic motivators also play a role. Challenges, however, can be mediated by a constructivist approach to art education, as it motivates and empowers students to become responsible for their learning, through the creation of meaningful artwork.

The Permanent Income Hypothesis: Evidence from Ghana
Authors: Rahaman Sherif Abdul
Published: October 2020

This study aims to test the validity of the PIH for Ghana using aggregate annual data of GDP per capita and household consumption expenditure per capita from 1971 to 2017. The data used were taken from UN statistics. The PIH holds that the income a consumer expects to persist throughout his or her life is what determines their consumption. Earlier studies have shown that the PIH implies the magnitude of the revision in permanent income arising from innovation in the income process is proportional to the magnitude of the revision in consumption arising from the same innovation. This study tests this implication. Innovation in the income process here is the part of the income process that could not be forecasted. The study generates the innovation in the income process by estimating an ARMA model for income and then estimates a consumption equation by OLS using the consumption variable and the generated innovation in income variable.The study finds that the magnitude of the revision in permanent income arising from the innovation in income is larger than the magnitude of the revision in consumption resulting from the same innovation. This implies consumption response to changes in income is smaller than what the PIH predicts. This result is taken as evidence that the PIH does not hold for Ghana.
Analysis Of Economic Vulnerability Among Elderly Widows In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Authors: Aslam Hamid , Hussain Basharat
Published: October 2020

In Pakistani society, elderly widows usually face economic problems. Poverty is considered one of the prominent problems of elderly widows. They are lacking education, formal employment experience, modernization, old age pension and control over property which promote poverty among them. The attitudes of family and society are also not cooperative towards elderly widows which intensify their economic vulnerability. This study has been conducted in District Dir lower, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sample frame was available in the form of a list of elderly widows in the office of Pakistan Bait Ul Mal, Dir lower. After exempting the young widows (having age less than 60 years) from the list, the respondents were selected randomly from the list. Data has been collected from the respondents through in-depth interviews. This study reveals that most of the respondents are illiterate and hence ineligible for formal sector employment. They also do not get old age pension. The respondents are also deprived of the right to property inheritance. They are dependent upon others for the fulfillment of their basic needs. Education, formal sector employment and right to property inheritance can alleviate the poverty of elderly widows.
Gender Pay Gap Among Urban-Urban Migrant Workers: Pakistan's Two-Tier Urban Labor Market
Authors: Umair Muhammad , Naz Lubna
Published: October 2020

Urban-urban migration has socio-economic and demographic consequences on the labor markets. It affects job mobility and gender-balance in the urban workplace. This study analyzes the gender wage gap among urban-urban migrant workers in Pakistan. The study used the most recent Labour Force Survey, a nationally representative dataset, to identify the determinants of wages for male and female migrant workers separately. The wages of urban-urban female migrants tend to be 45% lower than their male counterparts. The results indicated disparities in working hours and human capital endowment as some of the contributing factors to the increasing gender wage gap. This research calls for implementing drastic measures, i.e., gender-insensitive capacity building of urban migrant workers, workplace incentives for women, and enhancement of women leadership roles, to reduce gender inequalities in the urban labor market.
Authenticity of the Vladimir Melnik’s graphic art
Authors: Kravchenko V.P.
Published: October 2020

In small graphic works for book pages and stamps (mixed technique), the artist provides both typological and psychological descriptions, both thorough details and overall atmosphere. V. Melnik complies with the basic requirements for an illustrator of non-fiction, as evidenced in the accuracy of depiction, detailed portrayals, solid draftsmanship of the works. But the artist goes beyond the requirements, since he usually individualizes the appearances and animates the precisely reconstructed background landscapes (“Stefan the Great”, “Castles of Moldavia”). Given the fragmentation, the rhythm of the silhouettes is accentuated (“Birds of the World”). The rigor of the drawing is combined with the integrity of color, and exquisite detailing with the monumentality, implying grandeur and even epic content (“Animals Disappeared”, “Birds of Moldova”, series of stamps issued by “Moldavian Post”). In the times when digital technologies affect the process of making illustrations, artworks by V. Melnik are valuable for the character of unique piece products, as they appear to be like pearls of filigree decoration.

В статье рассматривается творчество Владимира Мельника, одного из самых опытных мастеров графического искусства Республики Молдова. Несмотря на значительные достижения художника в разных областях графики, ранее его творчество не было изучено. Автор статьи освещает многолетнюю деятельность мастера для введения его произведений в международный научный оборот. Анализируются работы, выполненные с 1980-х по 2010-е годы: натурные и полуфантастические композиции (офорт, меццо-тинто, пастель), документальные изображения для книг и марок (темпера с добавлениями гуаши, акварели, карандаша, пастели). Работая в трех областях графики – станковой, книжной и малых форм, В. Мельник проявляет утонченность художественного исполнения, а также тонкое пейзажное видение. Станковые произведения выделяются метафоричностью художественного языка и обилием насыщенных черных тонов. Усложнение технического исполнения приводило к созданию неповторимых эффектов. Графика малых форм, предназначенная для репродуцирования в книгах и на марках, интересна емкостью при описательной правдоподобности. Мастер стремится одновременно к типологизации и психологизации образов, к детальной разработанности и обобщенности форм. Творчество В. Мельника показательно как синтез старинных и современных традиций разных видов графики в талантливой авторской обработке.

Mythological and biblical stories in the works of artists of Primorye
Authors: Levdanskaya N.A.
Published: October 2020

For a long time researchers of Primorye art have been focusing their attention on landscape and portrait genres. It is peculiar that the genre of a story composition in the Primorye art has not been sufficiently studied, although the compositions which glorified the labor and military deeds of the compatriots took the center place in all major exhibitions during the Soviet time. This research is devoted to a narrower, but no less interesting aspect — the revival of an interest in the main academic genre — the story composition on historical, religious and mythological themes in the work of neo-modern artists of Primorye. The article analyzes the paintings of three artists in Vladivostok: Yevgeny Makeyev, Sergei Gorbachev and Oleg Podskochin, however, also noted a number of artists whose story compositions on mythological and biblical themes indicate the dynamic development of this genre in the modern visual arts of Primorye and the entire Far East.

В течение долгого времени в центре внимания исследователей приморского искусства находились жанры пейзажа, портрета. Примечательно, что жанр сюжетной композиции в приморском искусстве изучен недостаточно, хотя композиции, прославляющие трудовые и воинские дела приморцев, занимали центральное место на всех крупных выставках советского периода. Данное исследование посвящено более узкому, но не менее интересному аспекту — возрождению в искусстве территории интереса к главному академическому жанру — сюжетной композиции на исторические, религиозные и мифологические темы — со стороны художников-неомодернистов. В статье подробно рассмотрены картины трех художников Владивостока: Евгения Макеева, Сергея Горбачева и Олега Подскочина, однако также отмечен целый ряд художников, сюжетные композиции на мифологические и библейские темы которых свидетельствуют о динамическом развитии этого жанра в современном изобразительном искусстве Приморья и всего Дальнего Востока.

La investigación aborda la problemática del Cálculo Superior relacionada con límites algebraicos y exponenciales que tienden al infinito, formulando tres modelos alternativos para solucionarlos. La metodología fue, plantear estudios de casos, analizarlos utilizando los modelos alternativos desarrollados y sintetizar el proceso en tres modelos. Los modelos se sustentan en el manejo de los coeficientes de la variable en su máximo grado sea de forma directa o transformada y de ser el caso estabilizada por la variable nula. Los modelos son fáciles de aplicarse y facilitan el aprendizaje del cálculo. Los modelos desarrollados son:
El emprendimiento por oportunidad versus el emprendimiento por necesidad en el Ecuador

Published: October 2020

El emprendimiento consiste en desarrollar una idea de negocio, es un concepto que con el paso del tiempo ha evolucionado tanto que hoy en día se habla inclusive del tipo de emprendimiento siendo motivo de este análisis específicamente el que es por necesidad y el que es por oportunidad. Mediante un estudio llevado a cabo por Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), se indica que Ecuador es el segundo país que más emprende en el mundo, alcanzando un índice de actividad emprendedora temprana del 33.6% a junio del 2016, lo cual indica que uno de cada tres adultos ha desarrollado un negocio, siendo muchos los motivos que llevaron a la creación del mismo, se evidencia la creatividad y ansias de superación con el que cuentan los ecuatorianos pero que sin un adecuado conocimiento y guía difícilmente llega a tener éxito. En nuestra investigación se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo que permitió diagnosticar la situación actual de los emprendimientos basándonos en los que se generan por oportunidad y por necesidad, siendo los primeros motivados por acceso a recursos, formación, tecnología u otras características que hacen considerar la idea como viable de ejecutar; y los segundos que se viabilizan a partir de un empleo mal remunerado o simplemente falta de empleo. Partiendo del análisis realizado, se elaboró una guía de información preliminar que conlleva a distinguir en primera instancia cuando un emprendimiento es por necesidad y cuando es por oportunidad, al mismo tiempo que dará ideas concretas en función de encaminar correctamente el giro del negocio.

La estimulación intercultural en el mudo indígena, se concibe como las metodologías de enseñanza y aprendizaje, el cual se evidencia en el ritual, el recorrido, la oralidad, la minga, el arte y la simbología, en estos procesos se visualiza el valor de la dualidad, tripartición y la cuatripartición. El presente trabajo es un estudio se realizado en las comunidades de Ocpote del cantón Colta provincia de Chimborazo Ecuador; cuyo trabajo implico compilación, sistematización y validación con la población local, en la cual se diseñó una cartilla de estimulación de enfoque intercultural. El documento formativo familiar y comunitario aborda el aspecto educativo comunitario, espiritual, histórico, cultural, social, y además precisa las técnicas y las metodologías de enseñanza indígena tanto la lengua y como la cultura. En el contexto indígena la formación del ser humano no empieza desde el nacimiento del ser humano sino de mucho más antes de la fecundación, es decir, desde el enamoramiento y sus entornos. La cartilla ha sido aplicada en el entorno educativo y familiar durante estos años, previo a la presentación, en el Simposio internacional de lenguas y culturas indígenas de América Latina. Bajo estos enfoques epistémicos y metodológicos, la estimulación y la enseñanza del enfoque indígena intercultural, es el camino para recuperar la dignidad de los seres humanos basados en sabiduría, conocimientos y saberes locales. El presente artículo propone dar respuestas a las siguientes interrogantes. ¿Qué es estimulación intercultural en el mundo indígena? ¿Cuáles son las metodologías de enseñanza indígena? ¿Cuáles son los espacios de educación indígena? ¿Qué áreas y niveles de la educación indígena integra?

Published: October 2020

Los cambios en las empresas de alojamiento son causados principalmente por la creciente globalización y la creciente competencia. Cadenas hoteleras globales dominan la industria a pesar del creciente número de pequeños y medianos hoteles y otras capacidades de alojamiento. Esta investigación aborda los antecedentes y la estructura de la calidad del servicio en el contexto de empresas de alojamiento, además de los métodos comúnmente utilizados para medir su gestión en relación a la calidad del servicio otorgado hacia el cliente. Entre los métodos frecuentemente utilizados se encontraron el modelo SERVQUAL, HOTELQUAL, LODGSERV, SERVPERF y otras técnicas que ayudan a medir la satisfacción del cliente pudiendo ser en este caso diseño de cuestionarios, sistemas de sugerencias y reclamaciones y la técnica del Mistery Shoppers. Se realizó una revisión de literatura, que engloba artículos científicos publicados en diferentes revistas a nivel mundial. Se procesaron un total de 29 artículos, distribuidos de la siguiente manera: 19 artículos científicos, 6 libros y 4 proyectos de investigación que abordaron temas como la calidad del servicio y métodos de medición en el sector hotelero. Una vez revisada la bibliografía correspondiente se determinó que el método SERVQUAL es el más utilizado dentro de la medición de la calidad de servicio comparando las perspectivas vs las expectativas.

El estudio de la estructura e idoneidad del currículum educativo juega un papel esencial en la mejora del aprendizaje de cualquier área de conocimiento. Con el fin de proporcionar una visión del enfoque actual de la enseñanza del área lógico- matemática. Se diseñó la metodología partiendo del método deductivo, es decir, analizar el bajo desarrollo de las matemáticas desde su globalidad, con un enfoque cualitativo de corte transversal (2011 – 2012, periodo lectivo), se aplicó el cuestionario como instrumento de recolección de información a 90 niños clasificados en 55 varones y 55 mujeres de la Unidad Educativa Verbo Divino, todos de educación inicial, se tomó toda la población por el tamaño. La técnica fue el cuestionario, para medir los juegos se tomó la decisión de utilizar como instrumento la ficha de observación, donde se utilizó seis indicadores. En los resultados se demostró que existe un 48% de rechazo a las técnicas y métodos que los docentes aplican al momento de desarrollar sus clases. Se visualizó mediante la observación que los docentes no logran que los niños diferencien entre criterios partitivo, perceptivo, funcional y de análisis para el desarrollo del pensamiento lógico matemático ya que todas estas habilidades se logran de mejor manera utilizando los juegos tradicionales y populares los mismos que energizan a los niños para la activación del conocimiento. Además, los niños y niñas en el área de matemática se pudo observar que no tienen entusiasmo en participar en las actividades propuestas durante el proceso educativo.
