Tectono-stratigraphic history of northern Amdrup Land, eastern North Greenland: implications for the northernmost East Greenland shelf
Authors: Stemmerik Lars , Larsen Birgitte D. , Dalhoff Finn
Published: May 2020

The NW–SE-oriented Sommerterrasserne fault in Amdrup Land marks the southern limit of Mesozoic compression related to the transform plate boundary between North Greenland and Svalbard. Structural style in Amdrup Land changes across the fault; Carboniferous, Permian and Jurassic sediments in northern Amdrup Land north-east of the fault are gently folded, with NE– SW-trending fold axes, whereas they are gently dipping south of the fault. The Sommerterrasserne fault is regarded as the south-eastern extension of the Trolle Land fault zone of eastern Peary Land. Upper Moscovian carbonates of the Foldedal Formation rest unconformably on isoclinally folded Upper Proterozoic sediments of the Independence Fjord Group in northern Amdrup Land and are conformably overlain by chert-rich limestones of the Permian Kim Fjelde and Midnatfjeld Formations. Locally, up to 70 m of Jurassic sandstone and siltstone are preserved in the axes of the synclines, resting conformably on Permian limestones; the folding thus post-dates their deposition. The folding of the sediments to the north-east of the Sommerterrasserne fault most likely took place during the latest Cretaceous; it is post-dated by a post- Paleocene extensional event.
Depositional history of the fluvial Lower Carboniferous Sortebakker Formation, Wandel Sea Basin, eastern North Greenland
Authors: Dalhoff Finn , Stemmerik Lars
Published: May 2020

The Lower Carboniferous non-marine Sortebakker Formation is restricted to the south coast of Holm Land. It is estimated to exceed 1000 m in thickness and is subdivided by a low-angle disconformity into a lower mudstone-dominated unit (c. 335 m) and an upper sand-dominated unit (c. 665 m). The lower mudstone-dominated succession consists of stacked 0.5–6 m thick fining-upward cycles of fine- to medium-grained sandstone and mudstone. Cycles in the upper part of the formation are up to 20 m thick. They are dominated by thick tabular sandstones up to 13 m thick overlain by shaly units that resemble those in the lower mudstone dominated cycles. Six facies associations are identified and together describe a fluviatile–lacustrine depositional system. Five of the facies associations characterise different parts of a meandering riverdominated flood plain whereas the sixth facies association represents more permanent lakes.
The year in focus, 2000
Authors: Sørensen Kai
Published: May 2020

The year 2000 was unusual in that it lacked major field activity directly involved with the systematic geological mapping of Greenland. However, field activities were again many and varied, including a successful highresolution seismic survey offshore central West Greenland, and a joint Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) – Danish Lithosphere Centre (DLC) project centred on Kangerlussuaq in southern East Greenland. Of the Survey’s 354 personnel, 93 were allocated to Greenland-related activities (Table 1). The Greenland level of activity in 2000, both in Copenhagen and in the field, thus compared favourably with that of 1999.
Holocene temperature and environmental reconstruction from lake sediments in the Søndre Strømfjord region, southern West Greenland
Authors: Brodersen Klaus P. , Lindegaard Claus , Anderson N. John
Published: May 2020

Instrumental temperature records indicate that the mean annual surface-air temperature of the Earth has risen approximately 0.6°C since 1860 (IPCC 2001). Increased global warming can have considerable influence at high latitudes, and among the major concerns are the effects on the sensitive arctic ecosystems and the possible reduction in the diversity of regional flora and fauna. Arctic organisms are highly adapted to extreme environmental conditions and have difficulties coping with any additional stresses or disturbances.
The Nalunaq gold prospect, South Greenland: test mining for feasibility studies
Authors: Lind Mogens , Kludt Lotte , Ballou Brian
Published: May 2020

The Nalunaq narrow-vein gold prospect is situated 40 km north-east of Nanortalik, the southernmost town in Greenland, 6 km inland from the fjord Saqqaa (Fig. 1). The exploration licence is held by Nalunaq I/S, a company jointly owned by Crew Development Corporation, Canada (67%) and NunaMinerals A/S, Greenland (33%). A pre-feasibility study of March 1999 by an independent mining consulting company commented positively on the Nalunaq prospect (Nalunaq I/S, personal communication 1999). However, assessment of the sample database demonstrated considerable variation in grade estimates depending on the use of drillcores, chip or saw-cut samples as well as the capping levels (reducing the highest assay values to a fixed value). To advance this project to the feasibility level, the pre-feasibility study stressed the need for improved grade verification and demonstration of grade continuity.

In preparation for a feasibility study, a Can$ 9 million underground test mining and bulk sampling programme was executed during the summer 2000 field season. Strathcona Mineral Services Limited (Canada) designed the programme in conjunction with Nalunaq personnel. This report focuses on the field aspects of the programme; processing of field and laboratory data is still in progress (January 2001).
Reconnaissance for noble metals in Precambrian and Palaeogene rocks, Amdrup Fjord, southern East Greenland
Authors: Thomassen Bjørn , Krebs Johan Ditlev
Published: May 2020

A zone of hydrothermal veins in the Kangerlussuaq region, southern East Greenland, is the focus of a one year project by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). The project aims to localise, map, sample and analyse silver-gold-bearing veins in a selected area of Precambrian and Palaeogene rocks north of Amdrup Fjord (Figs 1, 2). This report describes the field work and presents some preliminary results. The study area comprises a c. 3 km wide and 10 km long ridge between Amdrup Fjord and Søndre Syenitgletscher, centred on the 938 m high mountain Flammefjeld (Figs 2, 3). The area is of alpine character with small glaciers and with extensive snow cover most of the year. The field programme was chosen to coincide with the time of minimum snow cover, from 25 July – 23 August. During this period, the major part of the area was investigated on daily foot traverses from four fly camps, helped by helicopter lifts on two occasions. Logistically, the work was part of a larger expedition to East Greenland – EG 2000 – organised by the Danish Lithosphere Centre and GEUS, which is reported on elsewhere (Nielsen et al. 2001, this volume). A temporary field base in Sødalen, some 50 km east of Amdrup Fjord, supported the expedition’s Ecureuil AS 350 helicopter and provided services for the field teams of the various activities attached to EG 2000. Air connections with Iceland were maintained by Twin Otter aircraft operating from a gravel landing strip in Sødalen (Fig. 1).

Authors: Stouge Svend , Boyce Douglas W. , Christiansen Jørgen , Harper David A.T. , Knight Ian
Published: May 2020

Field work on Ella Ø in summer 2000 formed part of an ongoing research project to investigate the development of the Laurentian margin facing the Iapetus Ocean in the early Palaeozoic (Fig. 1). The extensive study region includes the well-exposed strata extending along the present coastlines of western Newfoundland, Canada, North-West Ireland and North- West Scotland, North-East Greenland and Svalbard. It is hoped to establish both the architectural and chronostratigraphic continuity and variation of these now disparate parts of a once contiguous platform.
Studies of sea-ice conditions north of Greenland: results from a pilot GRASP initiative on the extension of territorial limits into the Arctic Ocean
Authors: Mikkelsen Naja , Gudmandsen Preben , Forsberg René
Published: May 2020

The continental shelf and Arctic Ocean north of Greenland are located in one of the least investigated regions of the Arctic. Even basic data on bathymetry are known only in rudimentary form from historical expeditions, a few scientific ice-floe stations and icebreaker traverses, and from rare United States and Russian map compilations. No official Danish nautical charts of the region exist, and it is only within the last 20 years that the coastline of North Greenland facing the Arctic Ocean has been precisely mapped. Interest in the region has increased in recent years through major international efforts such as scientific submarine expeditions (SCICEX), major airborne geophysical surveys and the release and compilation of formerly classified oceanographic, hydrographic and climate-related data. Analyses of data from the submarine cruises have indicated a thinning of the polar seaice cover (Rothrock et al. 1999).
Rickettsial Infections: A Clinician’s Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Iyer Dr. Sriranjani , Mehta Dr. Harsh Rajeev , P. Jadhav Dr. Sarojini
Published: May 2020

Rickettsial diseases are arthropod borne zoonotic infections that are being increasingly recognized as one of the causes of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). These pathogens are gram-negative bacteria causing fever and rash, usually transmitted to humans by tick or flea bite. These infections must be differentiated from other febrile illnesses such as enteric fever, malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, and infectious mononucleosis. The common clinical presentation includes fever with chills and rigor, headache, vomiting, cough, conjunctival congestion and eschar. Presenting with varied and non-specific symptoms, ignorance, and low index of suspicion, they are often under-diagnosed due to the unavailability of the reliable diagnostic test. Weil- Felix test (WFT) is a non-specific heterophile tube agglutination test in which antibodies against rickettsiae are detected. If timely treatment with doxycycline is instituted the adverse consequences can be well averted.

Authors: Kaur Dr. Jasmine , Husain Dr. Farah
Published: May 2020

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can be a very distressing side effect following general anaesthesia. Patients and health care professionals report the avoidance of PONV is of equal or sometimes even greater concern than avoidance of postoperative pain.1 It can result in increased morbidity, delay in hospital discharge and unexpected hospital re-admission, thereby increasing the total medical costs2. Moreover, PONV has been a major cause of decreased patient satisfaction3. There are several physiologic complications of nausea and vomiting that are of concern to the anaesthesiologist. Some of them being visceral wound dehiscence, electrolyte disorders, raised venous pressure leading to bleeding, rise in intraocular and intracranial tension and aspiration pneumonia especially in the sedated post-operative patient.
La pandemia da Covid-19: un provvidenziale avviso dalla Natura
Authors: Balzani Vincenzo
Published: May 2020

Stiamo viaggiando nell’infinità dell'Universo sul pianeta Terra, un'astronave con 7,8 miliardi di passeggeri che non potrà mai "atterrare" da nessuna parte e neppure fermarsi in qualche luogo per caricare risorse o scaricare rifiuti. Le risorse su cui noi passeggeri possiamo contare sono i materiali che compongono l'astronave e la luce del sole. Qualsiasi danno all’astronave deve essere riparato e qualsiasi problema deve essere risolto da noi passeggeri. Gli scienziati avvertono da molti anni che non stiamo custodendo il pianeta e i sociologi ammoniscono che le enormi disparità economiche e sociali stanno diventando insostenibili. Da alcuni mesi, un virus pericoloso e altamente contagioso, Covid-19, sta circolando sull'astronave Terra. Dovremmo prenderlo come un avvertimento da parte della Natura per avviarci verso la sostenibilità ecologica e sociale.

Authors: HONCHARUK Inna
Published: May 2020

The publication addresses climate change issues caused by fossil fuel emissions. It is established that the rate of increase of the air temperature in Ukraine is ahead of the world tendencies, as a result of which in Ukraine the widespread of droughts, an increase in land areas prone to desertification is probable. The effect of increasing the share of alternative fuels in total energy production on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the world has been investigated. The volume of electricity consumption by household and non-household consumers and the price increase for them are analyzed; population of Ukraine and employment status of rural population. It is proposed to solve the problems of reducing the burden of payment for energy resources and creating new jobs in rural areas through the creation of energy cooperatives. The concept of "energy cooperative" is defined and economic models of energy cooperatives that can be applied by Ukrainian territorial communities and economic structures to ensure energy autonomy are proposed. The article analyzes the experience of setting up and operating energy cooperatives in the EU Member States, the USA and other countries of the world on the following grounds: field of activity; the form of ownership; sources of financing; social effect and others. Examples of successful operation and emergence of energy cooperatives in Ukrainian communities are provided, which provide energy autonomy for individual agricultural enterprises and community residents through the production of fuel from agricultural and forestry waste; launching a solar or wind power plant that sells electricity to the grid at a “green” rate; biogas production from biomass; production and use of solar water heaters and the like. The author's vision of the main directions of development of economic decarbonisation is formulated.
MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION RISKS OF THE ENTERPRISE IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION
Authors: YURCHUK Natalia
Published: May 2020

The features of modern information risk management are considered and analyzed in the article. The influence of digitalization of enterprises on information security is analyzed.
Approaches to the interpretation of the definition of "information risk" are analyzed. It is indicated that information risks arise primarily from the creation, transmission, storage, processing, use of information in practical activities using digital media and other information and communication means. The purpose of risk management of information risks of the enterprise is to minimize the costs of counteracting information risks and the overall losses from them. Information risks include risks of internal and external fraud, unauthorized use of company resources, breach of confidentiality, integrity and reliability of information, etc.
The proposed information risk management system provides for the implementation of such procedures as identification of information risks, analysis of information risks, selection and implementation of the method of reducing information risks, control of information risks.
It has been found that it is advisable to use models based on international standards when modeling information threats. Popular practices used in practice are based on standards such as ISO / IEC 27005: 2011, NIST SP800-30, EBIOS, OCTAVE.
It is determined that quantitative calculation of risk situations is used first of all when it is necessary to choose the optimal variant of solving a risk situation. Enterprise information risk management techniques include organizational and technological measures.
It is established that the methods of information risk management of the enterprise include organizational and technological measures. Organizational methods of risk reduction include: risk aversion, loss prevention, loss minimization, transfer of risk control, risk sharing method, information seeking, control or risk management. Technology measures include the accumulation of risk information, their assessment and analysis, ranking and informing management about the implementation of risks and the likelihood of their occurrence, the use of modern data protection systems (obstruction, access control, masking, regulation, etc.).
It is established that the choice of information risk management methodology in each individual case depends on the specific activity of the enterprise.

Ideologi Penggunaan Ketupat Krosok dalam Upacara Yadnya Umat Hindu (Studi Di Desa Bengkel Kecamatan Kediri Kabupaten Tabanan)
Authors: Girinata I Made
Published: May 2020

Ketupat has an important function and meaning for the life of the Hindu community, especially in Bengkel Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency both in social and ritual aspects. The connotation of the diamond for the community for the means of the ceremony is the matting of coconut leaves which is filled with rice and then boiled until cooked like rice. But Bengkel Village, Kediri Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency also uses krosok ketupat for its yadnya ceremony, which is ketupat which contains half-cooked and dry rice. This research uses a qualitative approach, which is sourced from primary and secondary data. Collected with techniques: observation, interview, and document study. The use of krosok ketupat for the community in Bengkel Village, Kediri Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency is based on the existence of ideology as the principle of understanding the modernity of the community which is implemented through applying but not deviating from the teachings of Hinduism. The reason why the ketupat ketupat was used in the Yadnya ceremony was because of practical and economic considerations, buying cheaper than the process of making it, and was easily available at any time. The religious implications of using ketupat krosok for the people of Bengkel Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency, that the community's confidence in carrying out the ceremony of Yadnya did not recede and instead became more enthusiastic. The economic implication is that people who carry out their yad ceremonies are economically able to carry out their obligations to work with income that is more profitable than setting aside special time to make a diamond by leaving time to work. While the ideological implications, that the Bengkel Village community, Kediri Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency, in the era of globalization in carrying out religious ceremonial obligations show the existence of a simplicative idea of ​​the use of diamonds. The use of ketupat in some forms of banten is simplified to become ketapap krosok, especially in banten when it is finished not to be diluted / thrown.

Published: May 2020

The stereoselective synthesis of truxillic bis-amino esters from polyfunctional oxazolones is reported. The reaction of 4-((Z)-arylidene)-2-(E)-styryl-5(4H)-oxazolones2with Pd(OAc)2resulted inortho-palladation and the formation of a dinuclear open-book complexes3with carboxylate bridges, where the Pd atom is C^N bonded to the oxazolone. In3the two exocyclic C=C bonds of the oxazolone are in a face-to-face arrangement, which is optimal for their [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. Irradiation of dimers3in CH2Cl2solution with blue light (465 nm) promoted the chemo- and stereoselective [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of the exocyclic C=C bonds and the formation of cyclobutane-containingortho-palladated complexes4. Treatment of4with CO in a MeOH/NCMe mixture promoted the methoxycarbonylation of the palladated carbon and the release of the correspondingortho-functionalized 1,3-diaminotruxillic bis-amino esters5as single isomers.

Published: May 2020

Fundamental scientific studies have always been and will always be a priority in Ukrainian academic medical science. Particular attention must be paid to the development of innovations and scientific and technical develop- ments in the medical industry. The National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine endorses basic principles of further progressive development of medical science in the field of prevention of diseases, their early diagnosis, treatment and effective methods of rehabilitation. The Academy designates the strategic directions of research and innovation, ways to implement tasks and activities of a medical, economic, legal and social pattern, with the aim of maintaining and strengthening human health, as well as extending active longevity of the population. The implementation of the main directions of modern fundamental research at the level of the leading global institutions calls for a significant improvement in methodology, technologies and scien- tific workforce on par with the leading scientific institutions worldwide. This will give a new impetus to the development, implementation and continuity of fundamental research in medical science considering demographic, socio-hygienic and socio-economic factors that have a formative role for the health of the nation. The organization of research and production enterpris- es within the framework of academic institutions with the elimination of interdepartmental barriers, a more complex scientific research, the rational use of the funding, and the active implementation of results in health care practice is also of great importance to the further development of the funda- mental research of the medical science in Ukraine. The development of the global medical science is continuous, while priorities and key development points show the tendency to sway toward biomedical research and biotech- nology, genetic engineering and personalized high-tech medicine. Key words: fundamental studies, NAMS of Ukraine, medical science, innovation, health care.
Zoonotic Potential of Currently Circulating Avian Influenza Viruses
Authors: Savić Vladimir
Published: May 2020

Over the past and the current centuries, human influenza pandemics have been attributable to viruses with an avian ancestry. Birds are the main source of influenza A viruses and harbour a variety of antigenic subtypes. Certain avian influenza viruses are capable for cross-species transmission including human infections. Although sustained intrehuman transmission of such viruses has not been documented so far, each human infection with avian influenza viruses provides chances for the virus adaptation towards efficient transmission within human population. Here are reviewed currently circulating avian influenza viruses that are of major significance for public health.

This study aims to measure the performance of communal irrigation systems (CIS), using cropping intensity and farm yield as indicators. In particular, the study focused on the importance of collective action and how it affects the performance of CIS as a form of irrigation system in the Philippines. The unit of analysis used is the irrigators’ association (IA) that manages a CIS across the province of Bohol, Philippines. Analysis of variance was used to determine whether there are significant differences in the performance indicators among the three IA classifications. Likewise, Tobit analysis and ordinary least squares estimation method were used to determine the significant factors that influence cropping intensity and farm yield as performance indicators. The results showed that excellent-rated associations have significantly higher cropping intensity and farm yield than the satisfactory- and fair-rated associations. With respect to the determinants of the performance indicators, labor contribution as a proxy of collective action, has a positive and significant influence on the performance of the irrigation system. Likewise, farm size and farm location have significant and positive effects on cropping intensity and farm yield. However, firmed-up service area and age of the association is statistically significant in farm yield only. To improve the performance of CISs, the study recommends that both monetary and labor contributions must be promoted among farmer-members of each IA.
Transformative Learning as a Ground-Up Approach to Sustainable Development: Narratives from Vietnam’s Mekong Delta
Authors:   School of Education, Can Tho University, Minh Quang Nguyen
Published: May 2020

As the Vietnamese government continues to seek appropriate actions to move the national action on climate change forward, the emergence of grassroots sustainability initiatives has the potential to promote sustainability from the ground up. This paper reviews the current concepts of transformative learning (T-learning) and its importance through which some substantial linkages between T-learning and sustainability can be identified. It outlines the environmental changes in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, which appear to serve as “disorienting dilemmas” that force the local people to learn and gradually transform their behaviors and lifestyle choices to align with a lowcarbon and sustainable development. In an ideal T-learning approach, the major beneficiaries are the small-scale farmers, women, and ethnic groups (learners). They learn by doing under the supervision of educators (experts) in field-based schools that offer real-life experience and encourage learners to shift from traditional farming practices to modern, eco-friendly agricultural models that promote local economic self-reliance and biodiversity conservation. The paper sheds new light on how a critical approach to education for sustainable development through T-learning is an appropriate form and why T-learning should be acknowledged as an important part of the broader approach to self-help, climate resilient development in vulnerable communities.

In this paper, an improved spotted hyena optimizer (ISHO) with a nonlinear convergence factor is proposed for proportional integral derivative (PID) parameter optimization in an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). In the proposed ISHO, an opposition-based learning strategy is used to initialize the spotted hyena individual's position in the search space, which strengthens the diversity of individuals in the global searching process. A novel nonlinear update equation for the convergence factor is used to enhance the SHO's exploration and exploitation abilities. The experimental results show that the proposed ISHO algorithm performed better than other algorithms in terms of the solution precision and convergence rate.

The surgical treatment of urinary incontinence is often performed by adopting an Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS). AUS cuff represents a fundamental component of the device, providing the mechanical action addressed to urethral occlusion, which can be investigated by computational approach. In this work, AUS cuff is studied with reference to both materials and structure, to develop a finite element model. Materials behavior is investigated using physicochemical and mechanical characterization, leading to the formulation of a constitutive model. Materials analysis shows that AUS cuff is composed by a silicone blister joined with a PET fiber-reinforced layer. A nonlinear mechanical behavior is found, with a higher stiffness in the outer layer due to fiber-reinforcement. The cuff conformation is acquired by Computer Tomography (CT) both in deflated and inflated conditions, for an accurate definition of the geometrical characteristics. Based on these data, the numerical model of AUS cuff is defined. CT images of the inflated cuff are compared with results of numerical analysis of the inflation process, for model validation. A relative error below 2.5% was found. This study is the first step for the comprehension of AUS mechanical behavior and allows the development of computational tools for the analysis of lumen occlusion process. The proposed approach could be adapted to further fluid-filled cuffs of artificial sphincters.

Se analizan con más profundidad los documentos publicados en revistas especializadas en Información y Documentación Científica y Biblioteconomía: Debido a que gran parte de los trabajos publicados están orientados al estudio de la productividad de los autores y revistas, o al análisis del estado de la cuestión de una disciplina o área particular, existe una gran dispersión en las publicaciones. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias entre las disciplinas estudiadas se encuentra un mayor porcentaje de publicaciones en Sociología, Educación y Psicología; el porcentaje de literatura orientada hacia la mejora de los servicios en Centros de Documentación o Bibliotecas no es tan bajo como en el estudio antes citado.
Aproximación a la situación de los países árabes en materia de información y documentación
Authors: Gómez Camarero Carmen
Published: May 2020

Conscientes de la importancia de la información científica y técnica en el proceso de desarrollo económico, social y cultural, los países árabes vienen realizando ímprobos esfuerzos para evitar el desfase en materia de información y documentación con respecto a los países occidentales. En este artículo se pone de manifiesto la urgente necesidad de estos países de participar en el intercambio internacional de información, tras el análisis de las causas de este desfase y de los obstáculos existentes. Asimismo, se plantean los requisitos previos para el desarrollo de la información, entre los que se cuentan la formulación de una política nacional de información planificada que utilice los propios recursos de información y el establecimiento de redes nacionales e internacionales para favorecer la transferencia de la misma. Por otra parte, se hace evidente la ausencia de coordinación y normalización, especialmente en lo que respecta a la documentación automatizada, a pesar de los diferentes proyectos de arabización emprendidos por otros tantos organismos que intentan solventar la incompatibilidad del lenguaje en los sistemas informáticos. Se enumeran finalmente las principales fuentes de datos existentes actualmente en el mundo árabe.
Generación de ficheros de input para la construcción y el mantenimiento de tesauros en BRS mediante un sistema de gestión de bases de datos en microordenador
Authors: Amat C. B. , Baquedano Alcocer A.
Published: May 2020

Se presenta un procedimiento que ha permitido la creación en lote de un tesauro en el entorno BRS. Dicho tesauros comprende 7.500 términos correspondientes a la geografía mundial y controla bases de datos bibliográficas y audiovisuales de información de actualidad. La estructuración del fichero de carga y la delimitación de las relaciones terminológicas se han realizado empleando un sistema de gestión de base de datos en microordenador. El alcance semántico de los términos se ha representado mediante códigos clasificatorios alfanuméricos que permiten identificar las relaciones de equivalencia (igualdad de códigos) y jerárquicas (inclusión de los códigos más genéricos en los de los términos específicos). El procedimiento es igualmente aplicable al establecimiento de relaciones asociativas. Los programas, detallados a lo largo del trabajo, se basan en la relación de un fichero general en que los términos se ordenan alfabéticamente y otro en que los términos preferentes se disponen en orden jerárquico según sus códigos. Dos ficheros adicionales contienen los términos no preferentes y los asociados. Como resultado se obtienen tanto las ediciones alfabética y jerárquica simples como una combinación de ambas, apta para la carga posterior del fichero en el módulo tesauro de BRS u otros grandes sistemas.

Se analizan las características de los distintos productos disponibles en el mercado y se ofrecen pautas para su evaluación. Considerar las especificaciones de software y hardware necesarias es de gran importancia para lograr un buen funcionamiento de la red. El artículo se complementa con una exposición del proyecto llevado a cabo en la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid y con una reflexión sobre las consideraciones prioritarias y los problemas más frecuentes en un proyecto de estas características.
Alerta bibliográfica y formación continuada: el Boletín Bibliográfico CESCA
Authors: Pérez-Fernández M. , Garcia-Sagredo P. , Gervas J.
Published: May 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el contenido y calidad de los comentarios incluidos en el Boletín Bibliográfico CESCA, así como su utilidad para los suscriptores del mismo. Se realiza un estudio descriptivo de lo publicado en 1991 y se analizan las respuestas a una encuesta remitida a los suscriptores. Los artículos de revistas constituyeron el 92 % de todos los comentarios; se utilizaron 90 revistas distintas; 13 revistas concentran el 55 % del total de los comentarios. La temática más frecuente de los documentos comentados fue la clínica (39 %), seguida de la investigación de servicios sanitarios (29 %). Se ha encontrado un 5 % de errores. Los suscriptores emplearon el Boletín como alerta bibliográfica y como soporte de formación continuada. Así pues, el Boletín Bibliográfico CESCA, que comenta y califica los documentos, es una ayuda para los lectores, tanto en alerta bibliográfica como en formación continuada.
Teleinformática y cooperación bibliotecaria
Authors: Martínez Luis Javier
Published: May 2020

Se discute la significación de la teleinformática para las bibliotecas universitarias en dos marcos de referencia: como instrumento esencial de la cooperación y el uso compartido de recursos, y como infraestructura de la actividad de I + D prombvida públicamente. Se revisan varios aspectos de la utilización documental de la teleinformática: redes académicas, interconexión de sistemas abiertos, redes y sistemas bibliotecarios cooperativos, tecnologías de soporte y suministro de documentos, e informática personal avanzada. Finalmente, se resumen algunas conclusiones que se deducen de lo anterior: relevancia de la cooperación europea, necesidad de convergencia centros de cálculo-bibliotecas, cooperación como exigencia de racionalidad económica, surgimiento del usuario final como agente activo de la cadena documental, cambios conceptuales y profesionales en documentación, carácter global de la transformación del sector, dificultad del control bibliográfico de la información y problemas socioculturales de la proliferación informativa.

Differential calculus over double Lie algebroids
Authors: Chemla Sophie
Published: May 2020

M. Van den Bergh [20] defined the notion of a double Lie algebroid and showed that a double quasi-Poisson algebra gives rise to a double Lie algebroid.We give new examples of double Lie algebroids and develop a differential calculus in that context. We recover the non commutative Karoubi–de Rham complex [7, 9] and the double Poisson–Lichnerowicz cohomology [16] as particular cases of our construction.

Пусть $S \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ - замкнутое непустое множество такое, что для некоторых
$d \in [0,n]$ и $\varepsilon>0$ $d$-вместимость по Хаусдорфу $\mathscr{H}^{d}_{\infty}(S \cap Q(x,r)) \geqslant \varepsilon r^{d}$ для всех кубов $Q(x,r)$ с центрами в $x \in S$ и длинами ребер $2r \in (0,2]$. Для каждого $p>\max\{1,n-d\}$ мы даем внутреннюю характеризацию пространства следов $W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})|_{S}$ на множестве $S$ пространства Соболева $W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$. Более того, мы доказываем существование ограниченного линейного оператора продолжения $\operatorname{Ext}\colon W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})|_{S} \to W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, являющегося правым обратным для стандартного оператора следа. Тем самым мы обобщаем соответственно те результаты, которые были получены ранее в случае $p \in (1,n]$ для регулярных по Альфорсу множеств $S$.

The article discusses some complex factors influencing the process of realization of human rights in Ukraine, highlights the unified approach to the classification of legal norms that exercise human rights and freedoms, as well as problems and development prospects. Now the real protection of human rights is one of the most acute problems of the Ukrainian reality. It serves as one of the most important tasks, not only for the functioning but also for the existence of the Ukrainian state. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that guaranteeing respect for human rights in Ukraine is only possible through effective reform of the power system and compliance with an integrated approach to guarantee human rights, both by the State and by society. civil. It is concluded that guaranteeing the general enjoyment and enjoyment of human rights is a matter of co-responsibilities, which is why it is also negatively affected by the rigid opposition of the political forces, which undermines the stability of society, the stability of the constitutional order. While increasing the low level of legal culture of officials and citizens.
