Service Quality Assessment of University Libraries in Korea using LibQUAL+ : A Case Study

본 연구는 마케팅 분야에서 개발된 서비스 품질 모형인 SERVQUAL을 도서관의 실정에 맞게 적용한 ARL(Assoication of Research Libraries) LibQUAL+ 평가 프로그램에 국내 대학도서관 한 곳이 공식 참여한 과정과 결과를 제시하고 있다. LibQUAL+ 시행을 위해 영문으로 된 설문지의 번역, 설문 대상자 표본 선정, 설문 버전의 선택 등을 포함한 절차를 설명하고 있다. 또한 설문의 시행 결과로 입수되는 설문 데이터에 대한 설명 및 응답과 관련된 제반 사항에 대한 검토 결과를 제시한다. 마지막으로 설문 데이터를 통해 이용자 집단간, 타기관과의 다양한 비교 전략을 제시하고 있다. LibQUAL+ 프로그램은 단순한 설문도구가 아닌 총체적인 도서관 서비스 품질 평가 시스템이다. LibQUAL+ 프로그램에 참여함으로써 보다 체계적이고 국제화된 평가를 시행할 수 있을 것이다. 설문도구로서 LibQUAL+에 대한 비판에도 불구하고 LibQUAL+ 프로그램에 참여함으로써 국내 대학도서관은 새로운 평가 및 서비스 개선 노력을 경주할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 도입과 관련해서는 개별적인 참여 대신 다수의 도서관이 컨소시엄을 구성해서 참여하는 것이 바람직하다. 이들 도서관을 중심으로 학습공동체를 구성해서 워크샵, 사례발표 등을 통해 한 단계 높아진 평가 활동을 할 수 있다.

The Royal Red-Headed Variant: The Prisoner of Zenda and the 1893 Heredity Debates

The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) was conceived and written as the “heredity debates” between Herbert Spencer and August Weismann raged in the popular press. This “light” adventure novel can be seen as being influenced by Weismann in that the hero benefits from unchanging heredity traits that allow him to take the place of his distant cousin, a king, and rescue him from his captors. What is more, Rudolf Rassendyll springs from “hybrid” blood, which runs counter to much Victorian thinking that hybrids were inclined to weakness. The novel succeeds in championing the role of women as proper guardians of biological inheritances; in demonstrating that the “hybrid” Britons—a mixture of Anglo-Saxons and others—are the ideal “breed” for meeting the needs of the upcoming twentieth century; and in revitalizing the otherwise masculine genre of the New Romance.

Inhibition of Rho Kinase by Fasudil Ameliorates Cognition Impairment in APP/PS1 Transgenic Mice via Modulation of Gut Microbiota and Metabolites

Abstract Background: Fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, exerts therapeutic effects in the mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a chronic neurodegenerative disease with progressive loss of memory. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. In addition, the gut microbiota and its metabolites have been implicated in AD. Methods: Here, we examined the effect of fasudil on learning and memory using the Morris water-maze (MWM) test in APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic (APP/PS1) mice (8 months old) treated (i.p.) with fasudil (25 mg/kg/day; ADF) or saline (ADNS) and in age- and gender-matched wild-type (WT) mice. Fecal metagenomics and metabolites were analyzed to identify novel biomarkers of AD and to elucidate the mechanisms whereby fasudil produced beneficial effects in AD mice. Results: Morris water maze test showed significant improvement of spatial memory in APP/PS1 mice treated with fasudil as compared to ADNS. The metagenomic analysis revealed the abundance of the dominant phyla in all the three groups, including Bacteroidetes (23.7% - 44%) and Firmicutes (6.4% - 26.6%), and the increased relative abundance ratio of Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes in ADNS (59.1%) compared to WT (31.7%). In contrast, the Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes ratio was decreased to the WT level in ADF (32.8%). Lefse analysis results of metagenomics showed s_Prevotella_sp_CAG873 as an ADF potential biomarker, while s_Helicobacter_typhlonius and s_Helicobacter_sp_MIT_03-1616 as ADNS potential biomarkers. Metabolite analysis revealed the increment of various metabolites, including glutamate, hypoxanthine, thymine, hexanoyl-CoA, and leukotriene, were relative to ADNS or ADF microbiota potential biomarkers and mainly involved in the metabolism of nucleotide, lipids, sugars, and the inflammatory pathway. Conclusions: Memory deficit in APP/PS1 mice was correlated with the gut microbiome and metabolite status. Fasudil reversed the abnormal gut microbiota and subsequently regulated the related metabolisms to normal in the AD mice. It is believed that fasudil can be a novel strategy for the treatment of AD via remodeling of the gut microbiota and metabolites. The novel results also provide valuable references for the use of gut microbiota and metabolites as diagnostic biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets in clinical studies of AD.

Electrically Defined Ferromagnetic Nanodots

While ferromagnetic nanodots are being widely studied from fundamental as well as application points of views, so far all the dots have been physically defined; once made, one cannot change their dimension or size. We show that ferromagnetic nanodots can be electrically defined. To realize this, we utilize an electric field to modulate the in-plane distribution of carriers in a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As film with a meshed gate structure having a large number of nanoscaled windows.

Pancreatic Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis

Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the long-term survival, mortality, morbidity and the operation-related events in patients with periampullary and pancreatic carcinoma undergoing pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduo-denectomy (PPPD) and pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PRPD). Method: A systematic search of literature databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science) was performed to identify studies. Outcome measures comparing PPPD versus PRPD for periampullary and pancreatic carcinoma were long-term survival, mortality, morbidity (overall morbidity, delayed gastric emptying [DGE], pancreatic fistula, wound infection, postoperative bleeding, biliary leakage, ascites and gastroenterostomy leakage) and operation related events (hospital stays, operating time, intraoperative blood loss and red blood cell transfusions). Results: Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 622 patients were identified and included in the analysis. Among these patients, it revealed no difference in long-term survival between the PPPD and PRPD groups (HR = 0.23,

Effect of different levels of planting distances, irrigation and fertigation on quality characters of main & ratoon banana crop cv.Grand Naine

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of planting distances, irrigation and fertigation levels on quality characters of the main & ratoon banana crops cv. Grand Naine (Musa AAA). Main and ratoon crops grown at the widest planting distance 1.75 x 1.75 m showed significantly better fruit quality characters. Application of irrigation at a rate of 764.30 mm per year during main crop substantially improved fruit quality characters. In the ratoon crop, irrigation at a rate of 1187.10 mm per year was observed to be most economical and effective in getting the best fruit quality.In the both main and ratoon crops, 80 per cent of the recommended fertigation dose (160 N:32 P :192 K g per plant per year) performed well in respect of fruit quality characters. Hence, fertigation with 80 per cent of the recommended dose was found to be optimum and economical. Main and ratoon crops grown under different treatment combinations (using drip and fertigation system) were superior to the crop grown under the control treatment (using surface irrigation and conventional application of solid fertilizers) as regards to most fruit quality parameters. The treatment combination D1 x I1 x F3 in the main crop improved most of the fruit quality characters. The treatment combination D1 x I2 x F3 maintained medium level of ratoon crop fruit quality characters.

Radiation resistance of fluorophosphate glasses for high performance optical fiber in the ultraviolet region

Transmission loss characteristics of a fluorophosphate fiber was investigated in 200–800 nm wavelength region. The transmission loss was found to be primarily dominated by extrinsic absorption due to transition metal impurities. The total scattering is the next most important loss factor which is in fact Rayleigh in character exhibiting a λ−4 dependence, and the ultraviolet absorption tail is the least significant loss factor. Radiation resistance characteristics of the bulk glasses corresponding to the core and cladding have also been investigated. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation from a 1 kW Hg-Xe lamp, the radiation-induced defect centers leading to additional absorption bands in the ultraviolet region result mainly from the photoionization processes of Fe2++hν=Fe3++e− and 2Cl−+hν=Cl2−+e− for the Cl− doped glasses, and the former one is also responsible for the glasses without doping of Cl−. The electron capture centers in the glasses are the [PO4] and/or [P2O7] groups. If the irradiation is carried out with a KrF excimer laser having high-energy density, the formation of radiation-induced defect centers is due not only to the photoionizable multivalent ions, but also to the photoionization of phosphate groups in the glasses. The latter process gives the purple color to the irradiated glasses.

Giant brachial artery aneurysm as a rare complication of a dialysis shunt

Our patient exhibited a large tumor on his right upper arm where his former dialysis access site had been. X-ray, Doppler ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging scan could not fully reveal the nature of that tumor. Eventually, a surgical approach showed a giant aneurysm of the inflowing brachial artery to a partially obliterated arteriovenous fistula. This case highlights the importance of ongoing care for patients with arteriovenous shunts. Even arteriovenous fistulas, that are obliterated or no longer in use, can, especially when immunosuppressant therapy and other vascular risk factors are added to the overall cardiovascular risk, transform and endanger the health of our patients.

Detection of Endotoxin in the Blood of Patients with Sepsis Due to Gram-Negative Bacteria

A test for endotoxin was performed on the blood of 98 patients in whom septicemia due to gram-negative bacteria was suspected. The method was derived from a previous observation that endotoxin causes gelation of lysates of Limulus polyphemus amebocytes in vitro. Seventeen per cent of the patients studied had endotoxemia, as defined by this test. There was a good correlation between positive tests for endotoxin and bacteremia due to gram-negative organisms. Patients with pneumococcal pneumonia and bacteremia due to gram-positive organisms had negative tests. Endotoxin or endotoxin-like material was detected in the blood in concentrations from approximately 0.005 to 0.0005 μg per milliliter. Our data indicate that the limulus test is a sensitive, reliable and practical method for the detection of endotoxemia.

Thriving Against All Odds – How Start-up Teams Cope with Radical Uncertainty

Uncertainty is one of the most known characteristics of entrepreneurial endeavors, continuously threatening start-up teams’ performance and well-being. However, knowledge on how start-up teams deal with radical uncertainty is limited. Drawing on conservation of resources theory and regulatory focus theory, we examine how start-up teams entrepreneurially cope with radical uncertainty in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a convergent parallel mixed method design, we analyze 12 waves of survey data and four waves of interviews collected in 35 start-up teams in Germany. Our analysis of temporal development of predictors (quantitative results) and entrepreneurs’ views (qualitative analysis) explains the coping mechanisms to reduce performance impairment and compassion fatigue. Our study contributes to research on start-up teams, well-being, and uncertainty in entrepreneurship.

Enhanced oxidation of antibiotic residuals (Levofloxacin) using a green composite of ZnO@polyaniline/bentonite (Zn@PA/BE) as multifunctional photocatalyst under visible light

Green nanocomposite of ZnO supported into polyaniline/bentonite hybrid structure (Zn@/PA/BE) was synthesised and characterised and assessed as a multifunctional photocatalyst of 1.86 eV as bandgap energy. The Zn@/PA/BE catalyst was applied in the oxidation of the levofloxacin (LV) residuals in water in the presence of visible light. The recognised oxidation results demonstrate significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity by using the polyaniline/bentonite composite as a carrier for ZnO catalyst. Using the Zn@/PA/BE at 0.5 g/L as dosage resulted in complete oxidation for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg/L after illumination intervals of 25, 40, 60, 70, and 85 min, respectively. This was confirmed by the significant declination in the TOC content of the treated sample (10 mg/L) until the complete removal after 45 min reflecting the complete degradation and mineralisation. The formed secondary organic compounds during the incomplete oxidation reactions were identified. The intermediate compounds suggested oxidation pathways of carboxylation/de-carboxylation, hydroxylation, de-methylation, de-piperazinylation, and defluorination mechanisms. The hydroxyl radicals were detected as the most effective oxidising species during the reactions based on the active trapping tests and probe molecule investigation. The recyclability experiments reflected the significant stability and reusability of Zn@/PA/BE as a photocatalyst during the oxidation of LV molecules.

Study on causes and laws of crystallization blockage for dolomite tunnel drainage pipeline

Abstract In order to study the crystallization blockage law and crystallization mechanism of dolomite tunnel drainage system, based on the indoor model test, the simulated crystal blockage and growth process were simulated. The phase composition and microstructure of the crystal were analyzed by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). Combined with the pipeline crystal weighing, the crystal growth law and the internal cause of pipeline blockage were analyzed. The results show that the pipeline crystallization mechanism is divided into the first mechanism, the second mechanism, and the third mechanism. The crystallization blockage of the longitudinal and horizontal pipes are more serious, while the crystallization blockage of the ring pipes are less harmful. The crystallization is positively correlated with ion concentration, crystalline ions having a great influence on the blockage of pipeline crystallization, while noncrystalline ions having little influence. The crystal growth law is fast first and then slow, the crystallization affected by the coupling concentration of Cl − ‐K + ‐Na + ions, and positively correlated with the coupling concentration of CO 3 2− ‐SO 4 2− ‐Ca 2+ ‐Mg 2+ ‐Al 3+ ions. Compared with the longitudinal pipes and the ring pipes, the horizontal pipes have more crystallization and higher degree of crystallization blockage per meter, while the crystallization degree of the longitudinal pipes are between the horizontal pipes and the ring pipes.

Unusually loud ambient noise in tidewater glacier fjords: A signal of ice melt

Abstract In glacierized fjords, the ice‐ocean boundary is a physically and biologically dynamic environment that is sensitive to both glacier flow and ocean circulation. Ocean ambient noise offers insight into processes and change at the ice‐ocean boundary. Here we characterize fjord ambient noise and show that the average noise levels are louder than nearly all measured natural oceanic environments (significantly louder than sea ice and nonglacierized fjords). Icy Bay, Alaska, has an annual average sound pressure level of 120 dB (referenced to 1 μPa) with a broad peak between 1000 and 3000 Hz. Bubble formation in the water column as glacier ice melts is the noise source, with variability driven by fjord circulation patterns. Measurements from two additional fjords, in Alaska and Antarctica, support that this unusually loud ambient noise in Icy Bay is representative of glacierized fjords. These high noise levels likely alter the behavior of marine mammals.

Comparative hydrology: analysis of a semiarid and a humid tropical watershed

Abstract This paper analyses measured data from two small tropical watersheds: one in a semiarid (Aiuaba, Brazil, 12·0 km 2 , 5 years of measurements) and another in a humid environment (Jaruco, Cuba, 43·5 km 2 , 21 years of measurements). The watersheds are similar with respect to catchment area (tens of km 2 ), potential evaporation (2·1–2·6 m year −1 ), temperature (22–30 °C) and relief (mild hillslope steepness); but show considerable hydrological discrepancies: average precipitation in the humid watershed is two times higher; average river discharge (mm year −1 ) is five times higher; and surface water availability (mm year −1 ) is 14 times higher than in the semiarid watershed. Long‐term operation of hypothetical surface reservoirs in both basins is simulated. The analysis shows that 73% of the average river discharge are available (with 90% annual reliability) in the humid watershed, against only 28% in the semiarid. The main cause of this difference is the excess evaporation, which consumes 55% of the stored water in the semiarid reservoir, but only 12% in the humid one. The research concludes that: (1) although precipitation indicators are higher in the humid area, they are of the same order of magnitude as in the semiarid; and (2) fluvial‐regime and water‐availability variables are more than one order of magnitude higher in the humid basin, which shows a multiplication effect of these hydrological processes. Such major hydrological differences, despite the similarities between the two tropical watersheds, show the importance of further investigations in the field of comparative hydrology.

Repairing trust and reducing distrust: Same, same or different?

In the past decade the world has faced a number of events and crises that have challenged public trust in organisations and institutions.In Australia, we have been exposed to the proceedings of seemingly-endless Royal Commissions into the misconduct of our religious institutions, financial organisations and most recently the aged care sector as well as the ongoing instability in our federal politics which has resulted in a number of industry-led studies reporting record-low levels of public trust (Deloitte, 2018; Edelman, 2019; 2018). However, while crisis management is a well-established field within public relations literature,traditionally studies have focussed on achieving outcomes such as repairing an organisation’s reputation (Coombs, 2007), image (Benoit, 1997) or restoring legitimacy (Allen &amp;amp; Caillouet, 1994). In comparison, efforts to explore trust repair have been limited(see, e.g., Fuoli,van de Weijer &amp;amp; Paradis, 2017). As reiterated by Xu (2019)investigating how organisations can rebuild their relationships with publics during and after crises continues to be a key gap in the public relations literature.
