The Malmesbury Group - an aquifer of surprising significance
Authors: Conrad J. , Smit L. , Murray K. , van Gend-Muller J. , Seyler H. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The Malmesbury Group has often been overlooked as a useable source of groundwater. This is due to its previously generalised low yields and relatively higher salinities of groundwater found in these weathered to fresh sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks. However, during a period of severe drought in the Western Cape of South Africa from 2016 to 2018, the Malmesbury Group was investigated for groundwater more intensively, mainly out of necessity by those who had little other choice geologically. This study presents two case studies from distinctly different geological and hydrogeological zones within the Malmesbury Group. A selection of 57 boreholes that have been drilled into the Malmesbury Group were used for this study. Of these, 30 boreholes are in close proximity to Paarl while the remaining 27 boreholes are located in the Cape Flats. Although these areas are noticeably different, both sites revealed that the Malmesbury Group could serve as a host to a high yielding aquifer, under certain geological conditions. Borehole yields of up to 9 l/s and 21 l/s were recorded at the Cape Flats and Paarl sites respectively. However in all cases the high yields were due to high yielding fractures in the bedrock, rather than the inherent bedrock properties. At the Paarl site, a correlation is seen between aquifer parameters and their proximity to an inferred extension of the Wellington – Piketberg Fault and Shear Zone from published geological maps. Boreholes in both the Cape Flats and Paarl sites that did not intersect these fractures were found to have similar bedrock yields to previous Malmesbury Group generalisations (&lt;0.5 l/s).
Theoretical Issues of Creation of Model Municipal Libraries
Authors: Dvorkina Margarita Y. , Kozlova Elena I. 
Published: August 2019

Creation of model municipal libraries of new generation is carried out within the framework of the National project “Culture” developed in pursuance of the Edict of The President of the Russian Federation № 204 of May 7, 2018. The aim of the project is to find new models of library development that combine cultural, educational, scientific and educational functions. Modernization of municipal libraries is carried out on the basis of principles of modernization of public libraries, recommended by the Model Standard for Public Library Services. The authors consider the library as a system object and on the basis of internal and external relations of the object determine the place, role and functions of library in the communication process. The study is based on the concept of library as a four-element system. The article describes each of its elements in the process of their evolution in the modern information environment. Based on the spatial approach, the authors identify the components and levels of the library space, determine directions of its development and substantiate the principles of its construction.The authors conclude that development of the model of library operation in the territorial information space should reflect the specific features of the formation of its own information space as a documentary-communication institution.
Library Personnel of Buryatia in the Period of 1920—1930-ies
Authors: Odorova Tatyana L. 
Published: August 2019

The process of formation of the personnel potential of the libraries of Buryatia in the period of 1920—1930-ies is of considerable interest due to the lack of systematic information on the topic, the insufficiency and fragmentation of the available information. The purpose of the article is consideration of the development of staffing situation in the library institutions of the Republic, analysis of the forms and methods of training of library specialists in the first decades of the formation of the Autonomous Republic. Based on archival documents and materials of periodicals, the article recreates a certain chronology of events related to the solution of staffing issues in the library sector. The author considers the forms of training and retraining of library workers, the content of the methodical work of libraries, the problems associated with the lack of qualified personnel and the measures taken to resolve them. The article presents some quantitative data on the personnel composition of libraries and training activities held in the Republic.In the studied period, there was a multiple expansion of library personnel. In the mid-1920-ies, 15 people worked in the central libraries — regional and aimak (district) — subordinated to the People’s Commissariat of Education of the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR, in the state public libraries functioning in 1938 — 47 people. The staff of all library institutions of the Republic in 1934 included 155 people, in 1939 — 195 people. In the mid-1920-ies, the overwhelming majority of the personnel of central libraries consisted of novice librarians. Over time, the situation has improved; however, problems with personnel retention did not leave the agenda, for example, in the second half of the 1930-ies in the Republican library.The regional library, the Department of political and education work of Buryat-Mongolian People’s Commissariat of Education carried on most of the activities in the field of training and professional development of library staff; since 1936 the regional political-educational school in the town of Kyakhta had participated in that work. There were used various types and forms of personnel training; the special role was assigned to the courses of varying duration, workshops and seminars. In the 1920—30-ies, the staffing situation in the libraries of Buryatia remained rather complicated. Its characteristic features were the shortage of qualified personnel, high attrition of library workers and lack of systematic approach to improving the professional level of library staff.

Published: August 2019

The article discusses the transition to a new stage of civilization, the knowledge society. In the modern world, knowledge is one of the major socio-economic resources for both the individual and the state. Accordingly, the educational strategy of any higher educational institution should be refocused to ensure smooth transition from the traditional model to innovative in order to prepare the modern student for a life in the society where innovation and intellectual resources play the major role. The modern library can act as a control centre of knowledge, integrate with the world information resources and mediate for the user in global information space using the tools and mechanisms of the electronic library. In this regard, the e-library becomes a knowledge management centre focused on the development and maximum use of intellectual potential of library for the purpose of preservation, reproduction, building up and broadcasting of knowledge. The article analyses the opportunities which are given by electronic library for the University.The authors constructed the scheme of interrelation of knowledge and information resources. The article considers the concept of proactive electronic library of the University as a system of information service of readers, the main purpose of which is to provide resources in any form and on any carrier using the classical and network forms of services based on the advanced inquiry services. The authors constructed the model of proactive University library, which is a complex system, incorporating elements of various properties and complexity. The proactive electronic library itself searches for information corresponding to the information needs of the user, without waiting for his request; that can influence the development of his information needs. Thus, the library transforms from a passive storage of information into an interaction partner. Information is automatically selected for the user, relevant to his educational and scientific interests, hobbies and preferred leisure.
Humanities in the Structure of Library Bibliographic Classification
Authors: Volkova Natalia A. , Kataeva Olga V. , Khodanovich Marina A. 
Published: August 2019

The constant increase in the number of publications containing the term “humanitarian” in the title, the subject and methodological diversity of these works testify to the formation of the sphere of humanitarian knowledge, including not only traditional Humanities (cultural studies, literary studies, philology, linguistics, etc.), but also philosophical, transdisciplinary, methodological, popular science and even pseudo-scientific texts. All this literature needs to be systematized.Meanwhile, the literature on various aspects of humanitarian sphere in the system of Library Bibliographic Classification (LBC) is scattered in different sections. In part, it can be found in the sections of philosophy, epistemology and philosophical anthropology, in part it can be placed in cultural studies, in the philosophy of science. In addition, there are texts that are difficult to classify basing on the existing dividing.The term “humanitarian” did not immediately begin to be used in compilation of LBC Schedules that is largely due to the lack of clear differentiation of social and humanitarian knowledge. Until now, there are different traditional approaches in literature in considering their correlation. In our opinion, the trends towards their increasingly clear differentiation are quite clear. Therefore, the determination of the place for literature in the humanitarian sphere in the LBC Schedules is becoming more and more important. According to the authors’ opinion, it would be logical in front of the row of the Humanities to single out the section “Humanities as a whole”, which would head the LBC sector “Culture. Science. Education”. The authors suggest putting here the literature on General characteristic features of humanitarian knowledge, its role in spiritual culture, philosophical and cultural reflections on the humanitarian sphere. Publications in which researchers are trying to implement a new synthesis of the Humanities would also find their place here. The section may include literature on humanitarian knowledge, its structure, features and functions in society. An important feature of the development of the humanitarian sphere is the development of problems of practical application of humanitarian knowledge. Literature on digital Humanities, humanitarian informatics, humanitarian technologies and humanitarian expertise will also be reflected in this section.

Published: August 2019

Background/Objective: The 2020 Strategic Impact Goal introduced by the American Heart Association (AHA) aims at improving cardiovascular health (CVH) of all Americans by 20%. AHA defined ideal CVH across seven established modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Prior studies have indicated that ideal CVH also benefits brain health and cognitive aging, but it is possible that this association is explained by familial factors. Methods: We examined 272 male monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs (total 544 subjects) free of overt cardiovascular disease and dementia from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Memory and learning were measured by Trail Making tests and Wechsler Memory Scale (Immediate and Delayed Memory tests and Visual Reproductive Test). Each of the seven CVH components (smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose) was scored per established criterion. Results: The mean age of the twins was 55 years, 96% were whites, and 61% monozygotic. When considering twins as individuals, for every unit increase in CVH score (indicating better cardiovascular health), twins demonstrated faster cognitive processing speed (Trail B: – 5.6 s, 95% CI – 10.3, – 0.9; p = 0.03) and better story recall, both immediate (0.35, 95% CI 0.06, 0.62; p = 0.02) and delayed (0.39, 95% CI 0.08, 0.70; p = 0.01). Conclusions: Better CVH is associated with better cognitive health in several domains. As suggested by within-pair analysis, this association is largely explained by familial factors, implying that early life exposures are shared determinants of both brain health and cardiovascular health.

Oxidative stress is part of the entire pathological process that underlies the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. Twendee X (TwX) is a supplement containing a strong antioxidative mix of eight antioxidants, which has been shown to have a clinical and therapeutic benefit in AD model mice. Here, we conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled prospective interventional study to evaluate the efficacy of TwX in mitigating MCI. The primary outcomes were differences in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Hasegawa Dementia Scale-revised (HDS-R) scores between baseline and six months for placebo and TwX groups. Seventy-eight subjects with MCI were randomized into placebo ( n = 37) and TwX ( n = 41) groups. MMSE scores at six months differed significantly between the TwX and placebo groups ( p = 0.018), and HDS-R scores for the TwX group exhibited a significant improvement at six months relative to baseline ( p = 0.025). The TwX group did not show any change in affective or activities of daily living scores at six months. The present study indicates that strong antioxidative supplement TwX is clinical beneficial for cognitive function in subjects with MCI.

Background: Although dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a degenerative disease involving irreversible pathological changes and subsequent progressive cognitive decline, some patients have presented with improved cognitive function at follow-ups. Their clinical and neuropsychological characteristics and the factors influencing this improvement remain unclear. Objective: To investigate differences in clinical and neuropsychological characteristics between DLB patients with and without cognitive improvement at a one-year follow-up, and to identify predictive factors of cognitive improvement. Methods: This retrospective study included 60 DLB patients, 28 patients in the improved group, and 32 patients in the non-improved group. A multiple linear regression model was used to compare changes in cognitive function test scores between groups over the course of one year. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms as a predictor for cognitive improvement. Results: The improved group showed significant increases in immediate and delayed verbal memory function in one year over the non-improved group. We also found that baseline depressive symptoms were associated with an increased probability of cognitive improvement (OR 1.234, CI 1.043– 1.460). Conclusion: Depressive symptoms at baseline were related to a higher probability of a cognitive improvement at one-year follow-up. In addition, immediate and delayed verbal memory function showed significant improvement during one year in improved patients compared to non-improved patients.

Background: Calyceal diverticula outpouchings that occur rarely in the upper collecting system of the kidney and is often difficult to detect. In this study, we present two cases of calyceal diverticula and discuss their clinical characteristics and radiologic features. Patients and methods: In the presented two cases, we applied several imaging examinations, including delayed intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography and axial computerized tomographic (CT) scanning of the kidneys with and without contrast. Serum creatinine levels in fluid withdrawn from the diverticula were found to be significantly higher than the simultaneous serum creatinine levels. Intravenous injection of methylene blue through a ureteral catheter was also aided in the diagnosis. Calyceal diverticulum neck dilatation was performed through a percutaneous nephroscope. Results The two cases were diagnosed preoperatively and the operation was successful performed. The nephrostomy tube was removed seven days after surgery without complications. CT scans of the kidney after six months showed that the size of the calyceal diverticulum of two patients were considerably smaller than pre-surgery. There were no reports of pain in the lumbar region or other discomfort. Comments: Diagnosis of calyceal diverticulum mainly depend on a variety of imaging examinations, including the delayed intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, and kidney CT plain scan plus enhanced scan. If the patient cannot be diagnosed by above methods, cyst fluid can be aspirated percutaneously to measure the preoperative creatinine level. If it is significantly higher than the serum creatinine level, the cyst fluid is considered urine, which can assist in the diagnosis of calyceal diverticulum. A ureteral catheter should also be inserted before operation namely, intravenous injection of methylene blue through a ureteral catheter is helpful for diagnosis. The choice of surgical treatment is based on the size and location of calyceal diverticulum and clinical manifestations.

Published: August 2019

ABSTRAK Hubungan antara tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma dengan keguguran pada sapi belum banyak dilaporkan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kerusakan DNA sperma dengan tingkat keguguran pada sapi Brahman dan sapi Bali, tingkat keguguran pada sapi Brahman dan sapi Bali belum banyak dilaporkan. Tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma diukur dengan Sperm-Bos-Halomax® dari dua straw sampel semen beku sapi Brahman (40002,40885) dan tingkat kebuntingan diukur dari tingkat keberhasilan inseminasi buatan pada 14 ekor sapi Brahman dan 14 ekor sapi Bali yang masing-masing dibagi menjadi dua kelompok. Satu kelompok sebanyak tujuh ekor diinseminasi buatan dengan semen pejantan 40002 dengan tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma 37,11 % dan satu kelompok lagi diinseminasi buatan dengan semen pejantan 40885 dengan tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma 10,66%. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan membandingkan kerusakan DNA sperma dengan tingkat keguguran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma 37,11% ditemukan tingkat keguguran14,31 % pada sapi Brahman dan 28,60 % pada sapi Bali, dengan pemeriksaan ultrasonografi (USG) pada hari ke-30 dan hari ke-45. Hasil penelitian pada tingkat kerusakan DNA sperma 10,66% tidak ditemukan keguguran pada pemeriksaan USG pada hari ke-30 dan USG pada hari ke-45. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kerusakan DNA sperma 37,11 % memengaruhi keguguran pada sapi Brahman dan sapi Bali. Kerusakan DNA sperma 10,66 % tidak berpengaruh terhadap keguguran pada sapi Brahman dan sapi Bali. Kata kunci: Kerusakan DNA sperma; tingkat keguguran; sapi Brahman dan Sapi Bali
