Abstract:

A significant risk that we might lose especially valuable funds of Ukrainian musical folklore under conditions of Russian military aggression and, at the same time, the outstanding interest of Ukrainian society in its own national cultural heritage call for rethinking approaches to archival storage, post-processing and dissemination of folklore field research materials stored in archives of Ukrainian scientific institutions and in the personal scientist`s collections. Forced preparations for the sudden evacuation of the folklore archives, backup process and relocation, started by a group of folklorists from Kyiv and Lviv shortly before the Russian invasion, revealed a number of disadvantages of Ukrainian musical folklore archives organization. These include the impossibility of quick data transfer, unavailability of digital media backups, a lot of non-digitized materials stored on analog media, the inconsistency of analog and digital collection`s condition with modern (digital) information storage methods (mostly paper based documentation), etc. This article analyzes the current condition of the digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore, which are located in the archives of several Ukrainian scientific institutions and in some personal collections of the scientists. The most important issues of organization and functioning of Ukrainian musical folklore digital collections are outlined. Existing principles and models of data structuring according to the modern analytical requirements outlined in the studies of Ukrainian emusicologists have been analyzed in detail. The new principles of data and metadata organization are proposed to simplify information search and analysis and extensive use of computer systems to work with digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore. Development and implementation of a reliable digital repository as a component of the unified workspace for digitization, electronic archiving, analysis and presentation of the field folklore materials are intended not only to solve most of the mentioned issues related to the digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore, but also to provide access to the intangible achievements of the Ukrainian nation for scientists, artists and a wide range of involved users.

Abstract:

Due to the recent advances of Internet and information technologies, massive quantity of archive data gets generated and it becomes difficult to handle it using conventional techniques. Archive management is the field of management related to the maintenance and utilization of archives, once they have been sent from the client to the repository. The drastic increase in the size of archive data necessitates effective storage schemes, which can be accomplished by the use of data compression approaches. Generally, data compression techniques are used for reducing the count of data being saved from a system or network without compromising the data quality. With this motivation, this study designs an effective archive storage system with a compression approach for network management (EASS-CANM). The major intention of the EASS-CANM technique is to archive the textual and image data effectively in its compact form in order to reduce the storage area. In the context of archive management, the EASS-CANM technique might be considered a successful instrument. The proposed EASS-CANM technique involves a two-stage process: textual data compression and image compression. At the initial stage, neighborhood indexing sequence (NIS) with the Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) technique was applied for textual data compression. Secondly, fruit fly optimization (FFO) with modified Haar wavelet (MHW) is used for effective image compression where the optimal threshold selection process takes place utilizing the FFO technique. We improved the Haar wavelet filtering process in order to preserve higher image quality and clarity (MHW). With the introduction of MHW, a new transformation is made possible, allowing for improved compression outcomes as well as improved PSNR and CR values. In order to demonstrate the improved outcomes of the EASS-CANM approach, a series of simulations are performed utilizing a benchmark dataset. The experimental results reported the supremacy of the EASS-CANM technique on existing approaches. The benchmark dataset is used to conduct a wide range of studies to see whether the EASS-CANM approach improves archival efficacy. According to the full comparative result analysis, the EASS-CANM strategy is more effective than existing approaches in terms of numerous evaluation criteria. Therefore, the EASS-CANM technique can be used effectively in the administration of archives.

Abstract:

In recent decades, the global Internet network has become a repository of academic knowledge from all areas of science. Domestic ethnographic disciplines (ethno-sciences) are no exception: publications of modern studies appear annually; the fund of digitized older editions made available for free access is replenished; archival recordings and special creative products inspired by traditional music are published. After the military attack on Ukraine, there has been an increase in the interest of Ukrainians and residents of democratic countries in the world in Ukrainian culture and music, in particular, in traditional music. This new demand raises the question of the availability of high-quality Internet information in this field not only for specialists, but also for a wide audience. By the end of 2022, a rapid increase in the number of high-quality electronic resources of various formats related to the study and popularization of Ukrainian folklore and ethnography has become noticeable. The mentioned factors pushed the author to the idea of compiling a catalog of folklore resources in the form of a dynamic electronic register, which will be constantly updated and supplemented. This list, with the working title "Dynamic catalog of traditional music", includes both the most authoritative electronic resources in the field of ethno-disciplines, which are progressive in terms of content, as well as little-known ("underground") sources, which, in the opinion of the author, also deserve the attention of academic specialists and teachers. This basic list of Internet links will primarily be needed by music school teachers (in the course of studying folk music of Ukrainians), students - ethnologists, ethnomusicologists, folklorists, historians, linguists - and their teachers, as well as those who practice, research and popularize traditional music . It will also be useful for those who want to discover traditional culture and implement ancient customs in their private or public life.

Abstract:

Objective – To investigate whether Web 2.0 can enhance participation in institutional repositories (IRs) and whether its widespread use can lead to success in this context. Another purpose was to emphasize how an IR with a Web 2.0 approach can connect individuals in their creative and intellectual outputs, no matter what form of shared material is contributed. Design – Comparative study. Setting –Two IRs at Teachers College, Columbia University, which is a graduate and professional school of education in New York City. Subjects – Students, faculty, and staff using the PocketKnowledge and CPC IRs. Methods – Cocciolo compared two different IRs called PocketKnowledge and Community Program Collections (CPC). PocketKnowledge had the following Web 2.0 design patterns: users control their own data; users should be trusted; flexible tags are preferred over hierarchical taxonomies; the attitude should be playful; software gets better the more people use it. The PocketKnowledge IR design patterns were compared with the traditional design of the CPC IR. The CRC IR organized information based on taxonomy (e.g., programs and departments), lack of user control of their own content, and centrality of authority. Data were collected during a 22-month period. The PocketKnowledge IR was studied from September 2006 to July 2008, compiling information on both contributions and contributors. Contributions made by library staff to aid availability in archival collections were excluded from the data sets, because the study was focused on community participation in the learning environment. The CPC was studied between November 2004 and July 2006. Data collected included the contributions made to the system and information on the role of the contributor (e.g., student, faculty, or staff). Main Results – Participation was much greater in the Web 2.0 system (PocketKnowledge) than in the non-Web 2.0 system (CPC). Involvement in the latter, the CPC, was noted primarily for faculty (59%), with a smaller proportion of students (11%) contributing. This trend was reversed with the Web 2.0 system, in which 79% of the contributions came from students. However, as a group, faculty were better represented than the student body as contributors to the Web 2.0 system (23% and 8% respectively). Faculty members who created an account (without contributing) represented 30% of the population. These observations suggest that Web 2.0 is attractive to students as a space to share their intellectual creations, and at the same time it does not alienate the faculty. Notwithstanding, although 31% of the student body had created a user account for PocketKnowledge, the Web 2.0 system, only 8% of the students actually contributed to this IR. The study examined only the participation rates and was not concerned with what motivated contributions to PocketKnowledge. Accordingly, the results can be extrapolated by observing that the limitation of previous IRs is that they focused primarily on the library goals of collecting and preserving scholarly work, and did not consider what prompted faculty to contribute. Despite the satisfactory participation in the two IRs of interest, the author argued that the incentive is associated more extensively with the role as teacher than with the role as researcher. This is related to the ambition of faculty to improve classroom-based experience by ensuring that their students are as engaged as possible in the teachers’ areas of expertise. In other words, a faculty contribution is motivated by knowing that students will become familiar with what is contributed. Conclusion – This study suggests that IRs can achieve greater participation by shifting the focus from the library goals to the objective of building localized teaching and learning communities by connecting individuals through their respective intellectual outputs. Creation of a system like the CPC that supports such exchange will advance library goals by storing faculty’s scholarly work, whereas Web 2.0 offers a set of approaches and design patterns for establishing systems that help promote community participation. Greater student participation in an IR may prompt increased faculty participation, because the IR will be more extensively focused on the teaching and learning community than on the research community. Thus, the major finding of the study is that greater community participation resulted from a Web 2.0 design pattern approach.

Abstract:

Abstract. The development and growth of the territory has for centuries been conditioned by the availability of resources on site. The minor architecture which is presented as a vast and varied repertoire of unique architectural forms, perfected over time to meet the needs of living places, is the repository of the formal and cultural testimonies that represent the integration between man and environment, which took place in a constant process of adaptation and enhancement of limits and resources in terms of climate, materials, soil morphology and geology. The “not only formal” result of this growth process is a consolidated iconography that summarizes the profound reasons for building through techniques developed according to the characteristics of the available materials and the needs of life and daily work, an absolute synthesis between form and function that gives rise to the repertoire of the lexicon of the architecture of a place and of the landscape. Starting from these reflections, the proposed study seeks to investigate the reasons for the constructive lexicon of some examples of vernacular architecture related to different contexts, identifying the reasons for the constructive choices in terms of relationships between the function of technical elements and construction characteristics; the purpose of this approach is to regulate constructive interventions in consolidated settlements of vernacular architecture by proposing a study methodology that highlights the rules and reasons for those constructive choices so that purely formal distortions and misunderstandings do not occur in current practices. The selected case studies are the rural settlements of Terzigno, a municipality in the province of Naples (Italy) on the slopes of Vesuvius and some of the rural settlements in the Danube Delta, in Romania.

Abstract:

Abstract. The objectives of international safeguards are the timely detection of diversion of significant quantities of nuclear material from peaceful nuclear activities to the manufacture of nuclear weapons (or for other purposes), and deterrence of such diversion by the risk of early detection for states with comprehensive safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Following these objectives, several studies have focused on the developments of concepts and methods for safeguarding final disposal facilities as well as on identifying the most feasible technologies that could potentially be deployed for verifying final disposal programmes (IAEA, 1998, 2010, 2018). These activities were coordinated through Member State Safeguards Support Programmes, including the joint tasks on the development of “Safeguards for Geological Repositories” (SAGOR, 1994–2004) and on the “Application of Safeguards to Geological Repositories” (ASTOR, 2005–2017). SAGOR performed a diversion path analysis for spent fuel disposal facilities, determined safeguards technical objectives and identified potential safeguards measures to meet those objectives. ASTOR supported the IAEA in assessing how safeguards measures could be effectively implemented and provided recommendations with respect to developing such measures. Specific verification technologies were developed under other Member State Support Programme tasks. A summary report on the progress and status of safeguards for spent fuel encapsulation plants and geological repositories was completed by ASTOR in 2017. ASTOR also identified areas and actions that need to be accomplished to support safeguards implementation in final disposal facilities, such as (1) establish performance requirements for the design of safeguards technologies relevant to geological disposal of spent fuel, (2) determine specific information needs of states and operators regarding safeguards implementation for geological disposal of spent fuel and develop appropriate guidance, (3) determine specific information needs of IAEA inspectors and analysts and develop a guidance document that provides recommendations for implementing safeguards for a geological repository system under the state-level concept and (4) develop and test appropriate safeguards equipment (IAEA, 2017; Moran et al., 2018). While several measures and technologies related to verifying the geological disposal of spent fuel have been used by the IAEA at other facilities or are in development or testing, other technologies still need to be developed and tested. In addition, ASTOR identified the need for approaches to how information about disposed spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste should be managed, handled, organized, archived, read, interpreted and secured for the long term (for centuries after repository closure and beyond), including an international standard for states and facility operators on information management, data-retention methods and timescales for preserving safeguards data for geological repositories. The presentation will introduce the objectives of international nuclear material safeguards for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel, highlight the current status of developments and discussions in terms of approaches and technologies for safeguarding geological repositories, and give an outlook on implementing safeguards for final disposal in Germany.

Abstract:

The Soviet occupation starting after the WWII determined the direction of folklore research in Lithuania for decades, not only taking away the possibility of continuing the folklore studies launched already in the independent interwar Lithuania, but even that of appreciating the ideologically untainted history of folkloristics from that period. The 80th anniversary of the Lithuanian folklore archives that is celebrated this year encouraged us turning back and revisiting this span in the history of the Lithuanian folkloristics, which at the time was just acquiring the shape of an independent scholarly discipline. Based on various documents scattered in different archives and repositories and on the relevant publications in periodicals of the time in question, the author of the article discusses the cultural, academic and political situation of establishing the first centralized folklore institutions (the Folklore Commission, the Commission for Gathering Folk Melodies, and the Lithuanian Folklore Archives). The author also analyzes the tasks that these institutions had to fulfill as well as the ways in which the representatives of different schools of folklore research dealt with these tasks. An important prerequisite for establishing a folklore research center in the independent Lithuania was founding of the Lithuanian University, which joined humanitarians willing and ready to organize the research activities, and raising various issues related to the investigations of the national culture, its dissemination and collection in view of the future research. Therefore, it is hardly accidental that in 1930 the Folklore Commission was established at the Faculty of Humanities. It was the first official institution in charge of folklore: collection of the Lithuanian folklore and preparing for its systematization. As many other commissions of the time, it also launched publication of series entitled Mūsų tautosaka [‘Our Folklore’] – the first research journal in folklore, which published numerous collections, ethnographic descriptions of daily life and customs, and research articles. However, due to the lack of a broader understanding of folklore and in absence of educated folklore specialists, folklore was primarily regarded as a source material for literature and science, while research was frequently overshadowed in the Commission’s activities by folklore popularization.Nevertheless, in the course of the 1930s significant changes took place in the Ministry of Education and in the cultural policy that it implemented. These changes affected folkloristics as well. In 1934, Juozas Tonkūnas was appointed as the new Minister of Education. Having his background in the academia, he radically changed the direction of the national culture policy, attempting finally to bring the abstract rhetoric concerning the rather obscure “national culture” onto a solid basis. Such basis, according to him, could only be established as a result of the scholarly research, and more precisely – studies of Lithuanian language, literature, history, and folklore. It is also important, that academic community had matured by that time and was ready for the changes to take place. In the 1930s, the University of Vytautas Magnus introduced a separate course in Lithuanian folklore, while in 1934 a Chair in Ethnics was finally established. Having completed their studies at the Western universities and acquiring basic learning in folkloristics, young specialists started coming back, bringing together Western cultural ideas and research experiences.The above-mentioned reasons (insufficient scientific activities of the Folklore Commission, appearance of young specialists educated in folklore and general changes in cultural policy) could have prompted the Ministry of Education to terminate the activities of the Folklore Commission, establishing instead a new scholarly institution subordinated directly to the Ministry. Thus, the Lithuanian Folklore Archives was established in 1935, which until nowadays preserves its central position as the most important folklore repository, storing centuries-old collections regarded as important documents of Lithuanian folklore, national culture and history, as well as continuing to accumulate the most recent fieldwork data. The sphere of the activities of the Folklore Archives was defined in July 6, 1935 by the special law; it included collection, systematization, publishing and preservation of the (verbal) folklore and folk melodies. Jonas Balys, a professional folklorist educated at the Western European universities and therefore preferring the Western pattern of dealing with folklore, was appointed director of the newly established Folklore Archives. As diverse scholarly and applied activities of the Lithuanian Folklore Archives clearly testify, the Lithuanian folkloristics in the 1930s was already making its first, but rather sure steps in the academic field of folklore research, concentrating on collection, preservation and analysis of the oral cultural heritage.

Abstract:

Nobuyoshi Araki is one of the most famous and controversial Japanese photographers, whose work amounts to several hundred publications. Over the course of nearly five decades, this prolific artist’s ‘photo-mania’ dealing with, among various subject matters, a depiction of human bodies, often eroticized and graphic, has been both celebrated and heavily criticized. Instead of contributing to those discourses of either support or disdain of his artistic vision – especially on the issue of fetishized female nudity – this paper focuses on Araki’s insatiable lust for capturing Japan’s corporeality. His unrelenting inspiration to encapsulate Japanese bodily images has generated an immense collection of not only personal(ized) memories, but also of various types of archives – intimate and public – of the spontaneous and the staged, reflecting the ephemeral, transitory or epochal. Drawing on Derrida’s notion of archive in realtion to Freudian death drive, this paper explores Araki’s archive fever as a mechanism of subjective power imposed on the collective body. The proliferation of his photo series unveils Araki’s tendency to ‘destroy’ the previous encounters while simultaneously adding to his ultimate repository of somatic images with each new volume.Article received: December 10, 2018; Article accepted: January 23, 2019; Published online: April 15, 2019; Original scholarly paperHow to cite this article: Došen, Ana.

Abstract:

The article reconstructs the general historical and philosophical background of the talk “Nietzsche and Russian thinkers related to him” (“Nietzsche und ihm verwandte russische Geister”) given by S.L. Frank at the Nietzsche Archive on February 25, 1932. On the basis of the archival material from the Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv in Weimar, the correspondence between Frank and Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche is analyzed and the list of guests invited to Frank’s lecture is examined. A special attention is dedicated to a general reconstruction of the life and creative path of Carl August Emge, one of the first German professors of philosophy who voluntarily joined the National Socialist Party in December 1931, but who, at the same time, was a friend of Frank’s and the organizer of his lecture at the Nietzsche Archive in 1932. The appendix also presents two pieces of archival material: Frank’s letter to Förster-Nietzsche dated February 18, 1932 (repository: Goethe and Schiller Archives; signature GSA 72/BW 1458); the response letter from Förster-Nietzsche from February 22, 1932 (repository: fourth inventory of S.L. Frank Papers at the Alexander Solzhenitsyn House of Russia Abroad); two incomplete German abstracts of Frank’s talk at the Nietzsche Archives and their translation into Russian (repository: 12th box of S.L. Frank Papers at the Bakhmeteff Archives).

Abstract:

Researching the archives of Russian post-October abroad thinkers is one of the main tasks of modern Russian philosophy. The return of the spiritual wealth of Russian intellectual culture that has begun in the late 1980s with the publication of hard access and works of bibliographic rarity of N.O. Lossky, N.A. Berdyaev, S.L. Frank, S.N. Bulgakov and others, is continuing today. However, at the beginning of the XXI century the trajectory of this return changes slightly. The published works of Russian abroad thinkers require a holistic reading, rethinking and actualization. These problems cannot be effectively solved without plunging into the existential and intellectual history of Russian philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century. That is why modern historians of philosophy turn to the archive, and not so much as an empirical object, collection and repository of documents, but as a cultural, historical, humanitarian phenomenon, thanks to which, through the collective efforts of philosophers and scientists, a holistic portrait of Russian philosophy in its personal dimension is brought together. We can consider the archive of any Russian philosopher of the first half of the twentieth century as an “archive of the era” (T.G. Shchedrina), as a “sphere of conversation” in which the meeting of thinkers of the early twentieth century and modern philosophers is possible. Such a methodological turn affects the content of historical and philosophical research and changes our ideas about the Russian abroad philosophy, about the era as a whole, and also allows us to reconstruct the heritage of Russian philosophers and consistently collect the value-semantic unity of Russian intellectual culture while preserving its “diversity and unity” (M.A. Maslin).

Abstract:

The article analyses publication of a large set of historical and archival documents on the history of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War on the website of the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library. Since 2009 it functions as the national electronic repository of digital copies of the most important documents on the history of Russian statehood and Russian language, as well as multimedia, multifunctional, cultural, scientific, educational and information-analytical centre with the status of the national library of Russia. In the “Collections” section, the libraryʼs website places online publications of various forms and subjects. The author considers the methods of publishing digitized copies of archival documents. Within the frames of the first part of the Internet project “The Second World War in archival documents (set of digitized archival documents, footage and photo materials)” there are published 1767 electronic copies of documents, then promised to continue. There is placed the full list of published documents, it provides the ability to sort them, search by date and place of storage. Virtual multimedia exhibition “The Great Patriotic War, which determined the outcome of the Second World War. For the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941—1945” presents more than 500 official documents, documentary photographs, periodical materials and leaflets. The authors of the exhibition apparently consider the online publication “Combat actions of the air defence forces of the navy in the Great Patriotic War of 1941—1945” as a kind of rare publication, therefore they decided to publish the facsimile reproduction of it. The article concludes on the great significance of the project “The Second World War in archival documents (set of digitized archival documents, footage and photo materials)” that placed a large set of documents from Federal and departmental archives, many of which were first declassified. The author reveals shortcomings of Internet publications of archival documents in the field of placement methods related to inaccurate determination of their readership.

Abstract:

Many scholars have recently attempted to think critically about the archive, to conceive of it not simply as a neutral repository of information but also as governed by often indiscernible laws and intricate relations of desire and power. Certainly the scholarly products of detailed archival research are themselves the result of complicated archival negotiations, sortings, and withholdings. I wish to focus here on what I will call archival withholding—the attempt to disrupt the transmission function of the archive—in the context of the Western American Jewish archives that I work on; I will leave lingering the question of what, if anything, lends a Jewish, or “ethnic,” specificity to such withholding. The materials at issue—archives and cemeteries related to rural Jewish settlers in the American West in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century—might strike some as incongruous, since Jewish American settlement is generally associated with East Coast urban centers and not with smalltown agricultural America. But in fact the American West is littered with traces of Jewish settlements and (often short-lived) agricultural communities, and a considerable amount of work documents this topic. Just as there were ethnicities of all sorts in the rural American West—Chinese workers and African Americans have certainly been given deserved attention—so there were Jewish settlers.

Abstract:

With the rapid spread of information technologies today, many archival materials, such as digitized old photographs and videos of representatives of the peoples of the world, in general, and the Caucasus, in particular, have become available to general public. The mentioned materials have a tremendous impact on the image and perception of the material culture of these peoples. Despite the obvious advantages of ample opportunities for the spread of scientific data, these archival and historical materials, unfortunately, are not always used correctly. For instance, on the Internet and in print media, the erroneous use of photographs depicting representatives and elements of the material culture of one people as figures and attributes of other peoples is quite common. Our study analyses four archival photographs from various sources that have appeared in scientific and popular science literature, as well as in encyclopedias, articles, websites of major state and independent media, in materials telling about the Nogai people. We aim to prevent the erroneous use of photographs that have no bearing to Nogais. To achieve this, the author attempts to verify the legitimacy of attributing the studied photographic materials to the Nogais by attracting a broad evidence base in the form of archival data, museum exhibits, works of art historians and historians, as well as a comparative analysis of available material. In the course of the study, the author has come to a sufficiently substantiated conclusion that the photographs presented in the study depict not representatives of the Nogai people, but representatives of the Balkars, Kalmyks, Cossacks and Kazakhs. The researcher of the present work urges the authors of publications about the Nogais to use photographic materials, the relevancy of which is undoubtful.

Abstract:

Sheila Fitzpatrick's reflections make for illuminating reading as an autobiographical text. Two basic forces, she suggests, have shaped her as a researcher over the years and were present at the inception of a tremendously productive scholarly career. These two forces in combination may also better define her research agenda than the much used and abused term revisionism. One of them is positive; it is her belief in the archive as a repository of historical truth. From this belief flows her conviction that good historians are empiricists who engage in "lots of hard work on primary sources." Fitzpatrick herself has played a pivotal role in accessing ever new source materials and suggesting ways of making them speak; there are few Soviet historians who can match her first-hand archival expertise.

Abstract:

A city of biodiversity, Perth in Western Australia faces significant environmental challenges. As species and habitats vanish, so too can their biocultural heritage. To address biological and cultural decline, FloraCultures is a digital conservation initiative that uses archival, ethnographic and design approaches to conserve and promote Perth's ‘botanical heritage’. This article examines the project's conceptual foundations in terms of nature/culture, tangible/intangible and thinking/making dualisms, as well as some of the practical strategies used to address these dualisms. To articulate biocultural heritage, I have had to rethink categorical oppositions through ecopoiesis – the making of interactive digital objects as informed by ecological discourses. The repository being developed will incorporate cultural materials (texts, visual art, interview recordings, music and video) not conventionally associated with environmental conservation. Key community-building approaches, such as focus groups and crowdsourcing, discussed later in the article, provide digitally based interventions into biocultural heritage loss that reflect the ecopoietic basis of FloraCultures.

Abstract:

The article considers the background to the First All-Belorussian Conference of Archival Workers of May, 1924, and the part which was played in its convocation by historian-Slavicist Vladimir Ivanovich Pitcheta, the MGU professor and concurrently the Chief Inspector of the Central Archives of Russia, who was appointed President of Belarusian State University in the summer of 1921. The author carries out a comparative analysis of the issues discussed at the Russian and Belorussian archivists’ conferences and comes to the conclusion that they significantly coincide. At the same time, the paper indicates the issues that were debated at the Belarusian conference; those issues were of particular concern for the newly formed state archival service of Belorussia and were primarily organizational in nature. The most relevant among those were the issues related to the restitution to Belarus of its archives that were evacuated during the First World War to the Eastern regions and that were mainly kept in the archives of the RSFSR.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study how the concept “middle archive” is related to the Swedish archival theory and practice, by exploring its background and its practical and theoretical implications. The overarching aim is to increase the understanding of the interrelations between the archival theory and practice, with a special focus on changes occurring in the digital environment in Sweden. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a qualitative study of texts produced between 2010 and 2013, which were read and analyzed iteratively. The research design and analysis is inspired by Dryden (2014) who recommends taking the context into account. The three types of digital repository developed by Millar (2010) are used as a comparison to further extend the understanding of the concept of the “middle archive”. Findings – The findings indicate that the “middle archive” was introduced as a solution to practical problems of managing digital records, and that there is a need to further discuss how the term relates to existing theoretical, legal and administrative contexts. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to contemporary Sweden. The researcher did not follow the discussions and drafts which contributed to the development of the final definitions of the “middle archive”. Originality/value – The study contributes to the research and development of archival concepts, with a special focus on recent developments in Sweden. The paper highlights some of the challenges relating to archives and records in the context of e- government development.

Abstract:

The South Asian Canadian Digital Archive (SACDA) is a soon-to-be-released digital repository developed by the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley, located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. SACDA partners with memory institutions, individuals, families, and organizations to digitize, describe, and provide online public access to heritage materials created by, or relevant to, the South Asian Canadian diaspora. This project report will detail how SACDA is building a customized thesaurus to classify its digitized archival holdings, augment existing subject headings and thesauri, and fill in taxonomical gaps. Building on prior work done by alternative thesauri like the Homosaurus, Association for Manitoba Archives Indigenous Subject Headings, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Thesauri, and the International Thesaurus of Refugee Terminology, among others, the SACDA thesaurus intends to fill in a vital gap in South Asian Studies subject control, particularly from a Canadian perspective.

Abstract:

Purpose Archival research is a much under-rated and under-utilized method of research in management studies. Yet multi-disciplinary undertakings being observed in recent times, such as in knowledge management (KM) systems, business history and social network studies, among others, indicate that there is a lot of potential to be explored. The purpose of this paper is to highlight this point and make a case for its inclusion in the researcher’s toolkit in the future. Design/methodology/approach The authors follow a two-stage method here: the first stage being an improvised process to benchmark articles for this review; while the second stage involves content analysis and synthesis of the same. Findings The authors have dealt with the intricacies of the archival research methodology by minutely examining the fieldwork steps, proxies generation, other related processes of triangulation, etc. With the discussion on “multi-disciplinary undertakings,” the authors offer not only a selective bibliography of works that have effectively harvested this family of methods, but also critique the nuances involved. Finally, coming into more contemporary concerns and developments, the authors undertake an in-depth look at technological applications in the domain of KM, in case study mode. Methodological richness leads to substantive granularity. As such, the authors argue that archival methods contribute to the robustness, contextuality and holism of any research endeavor, more so in the study of business and organizations. Research limitations/implications This paper is based on the literature review. Practical implications This paper makes a case for archival method’s contribution toward the robustness, contextuality and holism of any research endeavor, more so in the study of business and organizations. Originality/value This paper re-positions the method of archival research as a viable and sophisticated tool for researchers to employ effectively in singular or mixed method studies.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine user studies as well as user education within the context of public services offered by archival institutions. It highlighted some of the key aspects that constitute both concepts drawing from history in order to provide a better understanding in the context of current professional discussions. Design/methodology/approach – The review analysed peer-reviewed articles ranging from the late 1970s to the present time to illuminate debates in the archival professional underpinning the current understanding of user studies and user education. Findings – The paper outlined the different paths used in user studies to ensure data collection is exhaustive and provides a nuanced assessment of user needs. It also outlined the two related paradigms of structuring user education programmes, highlighted the points at which they differ and the rich discussions resulting from comparative analysis. Originality/value – The paper demonstrated that there is a rich corpus of professional literature on both user studies and user education, expounding on different aspects that would ensure both are designed and implemented effectively.

Full text

Abstract:

Welcome to the fourth issue of volume 43 of the IASSIST Quarterly (IQ 43:4, 2019). The first article is authored by Jessica Mozersky, Heidi Walsh, Meredith Parsons, Tristan McIntosh, Kari Baldwin, and James M. DuBois – all located at the Bioethics Research Center, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri in USA. They ask the question “Are we ready to share qualitative research data?”, with the subtitle “Knowledge and preparedness among qualitative researchers, IRB Members, and data repository curators.” The subtitle indicates that their research includes a survey of key personnel related to scientific data sharing. The report is obtained through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 30 data repository curators, 30 qualitative researchers, and 30 IRB staff members in the USA. IRB stands for Institutional Review Board, which in other countries might be called research ethics committee or similar. There is generally an increasing trend towards data sharing and open science, but qualitative data are rarely shared. The dilemma behind this reluctance to share is exemplified by health data where qualitative methods explore sensitive topics. The sensitivity leads to protection of confidentiality, which hinders keeping sufficient contextual detail for secondary analyses. You could add that protection of confidentiality is a much bigger task in qualitative data, where sensitive information can be hidden in every corner of the data, that consequently must be fine-combed, while with quantitative data most decisions concerning confidentiality can be made at the level of variables. The reporting in the article gives insights into the differences between the three stakeholder groups. An often-found answer among researchers is that data sharing is associated with quantitative data, while IRB members have little practice with qualitative. Among curators, about half had curated qualitative data, but many only worked with quantitative data. In general, qualitative data sharing lacks guidance and standards. The second article also raises a question: “How many ways can we teach data literacy?” We are now in Asia with a connection to the USA. The author Yun Dai is working at the Library of New York University Shanghai, where they have explored many ways to teach data literacy to undergraduate students. These initiatives, described in the article, included workshops and in-class instruction - which tempted students by offering up-to-date technology, through online casebooks of topics in the data lifecycle, to event series with appealing names like “Lying with Data.” The event series had a marketing mascot - a “Lying with Data” Pinocchio - and sessions on being fooled by advertisements and getting the truth out of opinion surveys. Data literacy has a resemblance to information literacy and in that perspective, data literacy is defined as “critical thinking applied to evaluating data sources and formats, and interpreting and communicating findings,” while statistical literacy is “the ability to evaluate statistical information as evidence.” The article presents the approaches and does not conclude on the question, “How many?” No readers will be surprised by the missing answer, and I am certain readers will enjoy the ideas of the article and the marketing focus. With the last article “Examining barriers for establishing a national data service,” the author Janez Štebe takes us to Europe. Janez Štebe is head of the social science data archives (Arhiv Družboslovnih Podatkov) at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) is a distributed European social science data infrastructure for access to research data. CESSDA has many - but not all - European countries as members. The focus is on the situation in 20 non-CESSDA member European countries, with emerging and immature data archive services being developed through such projects as the CESSDA Strengthening and Widening (SaW 2016 and 2017) and CESSDA Widening Activities (WA 2018). By identifying and comparing gaps and differences, a group of countries at a similar level may consider following similar best practice examples to achieve a more mature and supportive open scientific data ecosystem. Like the earlier articles, this article provides good references to earlier literature and description of previous studies in the area. In this project 22 countries were selected, all CESSDA non-members, and interviewees among social science researchers and data librarians were contacted with an e-mail template between October 2018 and January 2019. The article brings results and discussion of the national data sharing culture and data infrastructure. Yes, there is a lack of money! However, it is the process of gradually establishing a robust data infrastructure that is believed to impact the growth of a data sharing culture and improve the excellence and the efficiency of research in general.

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the visibility, utility, and operability of the first Digital Repository for Tourism Studies in Greece. The creation of the repository was a project that funded and supervised by the Ministry of Tourism, aiming at the collection and analysis of tourism research, conducted from 1980 and onwards. By following a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the challenges and obstacles of developing a digital archive of scientific publications, studies, Ph.D. dissertations and other research data related with tourism in Greece. In particular, it outlines the financial limitations of the project; operational dysfunctions of the online archive; security of the digital content and issues of maintenance, management and technical support of the digital repository in the future. Based on desk review, personal interviews and peer-research working groups, attended by representatives of major tourism institutions, professional organizations and public authorities, the findings of this inquiry indicate that financial and human resources insufficiency, inadequate time frame and lack of promotion, have hindered the success of the project. The paper concludes with specific recommendations for the efficient management and financial sustainability, security of web content and optimal promotion of open access repositories.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractCraik (1986) has proposed that age-related deficits on memory tasks are proportional to the extent to which these tasks require the use of self-initiated operations. Because the number of required self-initiated operations vary among traditional episodic memory tasks, these tasks should display a gradation of age-related deficits. The objective of this study was to test this hypothesis. A secondary analysis (i.e. based on the results of previous studies) was performed on 22 studies in which verbal stimuli were used as targets on more than one episodic memory task. Of the 24 comparisons provided by the studies, 21 supported the gradation concept. This result suggests that the self-initiated operation hypothesis is valid.

AbstractThe Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) is a population-based registry of more than 60,000 twins primarily born or living in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Researchers may utilize the MATR for administration of research services, including study recruitment, data or sample (e.g., DNA) collection, archival dataset creation, as well as data collection through mailed, phone or online surveys. In addition, the MATR houses the MATR Repository, with over 1700 DNA samples primarily from whole blood available for researchers interested in DNA genotyping. For over 40 years MATR twins have participated in research studies with investigators from a range of scientific disciplines and institutions. These studies, which have resulted in numerous publications, explored diverse topics, including substance use, smoking behaviors, developmental psychopathology, bullying, children’s health, cardiovascular disease, cancer, the human microbiome, epigenetics of aging, children of twins and sleep homeostasis. Researchers interested in utilizing twins are encouraged to contact the MATR to discuss potential research opportunities.

In modern high-technology conditions entire process of creating, circulation and distribution of the auditory information, accumulated in phonograms, inherits integration properties that stipulate internal unity of the structure and dynamics of the phonodocumental communication. The research, performed within the framework of Document studies, Archive studies and Musical Art, dedicated to the development of the sound recording classification problem in communication area from the position of archival phonograms selection on the musical radio as a special type of service auditory documents with specific features — types of sound carriers, specifics of the fixed sound content and specifics of the service functions. The publication develops the applying of the informational approach archival radio phonodocuments that currently stay on the periphery of the research interest even comparing to other types of the tecehnotronic documents — pictorial, audiovisual, electronic information sources, different types of the technical documentation.Phonodocumental communication has features of the complicated open area. According to the author’s idea disconnected elements from the radio sector, that were organically collected together and integrated to the balanced phonodocumental communication system. The essence and the purpose of such types of the phonoduments are clarified, also the main regularities of the formation and principles of the classification were formulated. Moreover, based on the fact that radioarchives and some other cultural institutions perform functional of the music information complex repository, this article tells about music sources preservation technologies not only in the radio copmanies archives but in libraries, museums, etc. The expansion of the research field at the expense of the advanced systematization of advantages and disadvantages of the archival radiophonogram consumer format revision was begun. The research approach that was the basis for publication helps to overcome some differences including modern science and educational literature.

Abstract:

As part of the post-war denazification campaign, as many as 20 million Germans were screened for employment by Allied armies. Applicants were ordered to fill out political questionnaires (Fragebögen) and allowed to justify their membership in Nazi organizations in appended statements. This mandatory act of self-reflection has led to the accumulation of a massive archival repository, likely the largest collection of autobiographical writings about the Third Reich. This article interprets individual and family stories recorded in denazification documents and provides insight into how Germans chose to remember and internalize the National Socialist years. The Fragebögen allowed and even encouraged millions of respondents to rewrite their personal histories and to construct whitewashed identities and accompanying narratives to secure employment. Germans embraced the unique opportunity to cast themselves as resisters and victims of the Nazi regime. These identities remained with them after the dissolution of the denazification project and were carried forward into the post-occupation period.

Abstract:

Studies using person‐related variables to predict the nature of coping responses have had only limited success. However, besides often using measures of unknown reliability, such studies have not recognized that consistency or variability of response may itself be dispositional. Current analyses of archival, community‐based data selected only psychometrically sound indices and segregated consistent from flexible copers. Demographic predictors were found to have considerably greater explanatory power within the consistent groups, those variables tapping informational or material resources proving particularly germane to the choice between instrumental and avoidant strategies. These results suggest that person‐related influences on coping may currently be underestimated; implications for the future study of such influences are discussed.

Abstract:

The paper considers the history and current state of the process of digitization of analog documents in the Russian Federation. A comparative analysis of the current issues of digitization of analog documents in foreign countries and in Russia is carried out. The basis for the research is composed by the articles of Russian and foreign experts, which highlight the experience of archives in digitizing analog documents. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to conduct a largescale discussion by the archivists of federal state archives and the archives of the subjects of the Russian Federation of the current issues connected with the process of digitization of analog documents. The accumulated experience of digitizing analog documents in Russia shows that the most important issues for activating the process of high-quality digitization of analog documents, directly related to the possibility of their subsequent use, are the issues related to the creation of a unified state digitization program, among the tasks of which there can be: the need to summarize the work done in that direction in the regions; the identification of the “pain points” (in particular, the need to create a unified regulatory and methodological framework); the consideration of financing issues that will allow the archives to be provided with qualified IT specialists and the necessary equipment; the possibility of concluding contracts with the third-party organizations that might be responsible for the digitization entrusted to them; etc. Archives for the most part have not yet faced the issues of accepting initially digital documents for state storage. It is necessary to use the existing situation to resolve the accumulated difficulties with digitization that require the discussion at the all-Russia level. After all, until now, an average of about 5% of documents in need of digitization have only been digitized in the archives. Thus, if one proceeds from the number of digitized analog documents indicated by the regional archives, the challenges of digitization have not lost their relevance

Abstract:

Abstract Many studies have indicated that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) dysfunction is closely related to numerous diseases. Recently, accumulated ncRNA–disease associations have made related databases insufficient to meet the demands of biomedical research. The constant updating of ncRNA–disease resources has become essential. Here, we have updated the mammal ncRNA–disease repository (MNDR, http://www.rna-society.org/mndr/) to version 3.0, containing more than one million entries, four-fold increment in data compared to the previous version. Experimental and predicted circRNA–disease associations have been integrated, increasing the number of categories of ncRNAs to five, and the number of mammalian species to 11. Moreover, ncRNA–disease related drug annotations and associations, as well as ncRNA subcellular localizations and interactions, were added. In addition, three ncRNA–disease (miRNA/lncRNA/circRNA) prediction tools were provided, and the website was also optimized, making it more practical and user-friendly. In summary, MNDR v3.0 will be a valuable resource for the investigation of disease mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies.

Abstract:

Abstract Accumulating metabolomics data is starting to become extremely useful in understanding the ageing process, by providing a snapshot into the metabolic state of tissues and organs, at different ages. Molecular studies of such metabolic variations during “normal” ageing can hence guide lifestyle changes and/or medical interventions aimed at improving healthspan and perhaps even lifespan. In this work, we present MetaboAge, a freely accessible database which hosts ageing-related metabolite changes, occurring in healthy individuals. Data is automatically filtered and then manually curated from scientific articles reporting statistically significant associations of human metabolite variations or correlations with ageing. Up to date, MetaboAge contains 408 metabolites annotated with their biological and chemical information, and more than 1515 ageing-related variations, graphically represented on the website grouped by validation methods, sex and age-groups. The MetaboAge database aims to continually structure the expanding information from the field of metabolomics in relation to ageing, thus making it more accessible for further research in gerontology.

Abstract:

The article presents the role of the institutional problematics in the structure of archival education in accordance with the Central and East European tradition, as well as in accordance with the series of analysis and strategic approaches prepared by the International Council of Archives, the Group of European Archivists, and the Society of American Archivists. There is a sustainable and, in its nature, conservative methodological concept, that is also vital within the present technological environment. Its core is the classical archival principle of the provenance and an idea of integrity of documental complexes. The author makes a short review of the role of the institutional problematics history in the Bulgarian archival education starting with several elements at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries and ending with the contemporary specialty “Archive and Document Management” at the Sofia University. Nowadays, the selection of the educational content is focused on the understanding the relation between the institutions and their archives, and, on the other hand, on the acquisition of practical skills for exploring and analysing the documents of a structural nature. From a wider perspective, it is also necessary to understand the regime of the functioning and the related access and archive usage regimes and the memories regimes. The students acquire classical information literacy, as well as specific professional thinking and attitude. An important mission of the institutional problematics is not only to give certain knowledge, but also to form an adequate ethical attitude, as well as the overall identity of good professionalism.

Abstract:

Xanthine oxidase, a key enzyme of purine metabolism, is considered to be a prime target for the treatment of hyperuricemia and oxidative stress related disorders. Allopurinol and febuxostat are two FDA approved xanthine oxidase inhibitors currently being used for management of chronic hyperuricemia. Plethora of natural sources has been explored in search of novel chemical templates for the development of antihyperuricemic drugs. Studies in past decade have shown the potential of endophytic fungi, which colonize the internal tissues of plants without any evident sign of their ubiquitous existence, as repository of novel chemical entities exhibiting antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer potential. However, very scanty preliminary data is available of exploration of xanthine oxidase inhibitors from fungal endophytes. The present review summarizes the efficacy of xanthine oxidase as target for developing ant-gout agents and highlights the prospective of endophytic fungi as producers of xanthine oxidase inhibitors for the anti-hyperuricemic therapy regimen.

Abstract:

Abstract. The search for a site of a final repository for highly radioactive waste in Germany was renewed when the Site Selection Act (StandAG) came into force in 2013. In Germany the development of concepts for a final repository and safety analyses for a repository in a salt dome was prioritized for many decades, whereas repository concepts in clay and crystalline rock were first considered only two decades ago. The aim of a comparative site selection procedure is to find a site before 2031, which provides the best possible safety for the enclosure of highly radioactive waste over a time period of 1 million years. The fundamental safety-related consideration is the enclosure of toxic waste in a so-called containment effective geological area (ewG). The main aspect of a long-term proof of safety is logically the systematic proof of safe long-term enclosure of the deposited waste. The approach developed within the framework of appropriate research projects (e.g. Eickemeier et al., 2013) is essentially based on the proof of geotechnical integrity of the ewG as the fundamental geological barrier as well as the geotechnical barriers. Due to their unique characteristics, including imperviousness and plastic deformability, salt rocks have been used for decades in Germany and worldwide in mining and especially for energy storage. Whereas halite in salt domes (type steep inclined salt) is distributed particularly in northwest Germany, flatly deposited salt rock (type flat bedded salt) dominates in middle Germany and salt pillows (type salt pillows) in parts of northeast Germany. Both types of “bedded salt” widely reflect in their lateral extension sedimentation-related deposition conditions, apart from diagenetically related alterations. Beginning with the presentation of the host rock-specific boundary conditions of the various rock salts, this article focuses on the appropriate procedures for the proof of integrity of the geological barrier rock salt, based on the available experiences, corresponding reference studies and analogous examples. In the results it is shown that repository concepts in bedded salt formations and especially in the constellation of salt pillows provide substantial safety-related advantages due to a site-specific multibarrier system with alternate deposition of salt and saliferous clay as well as an intact overlying rock covering.

Abstract:

Abstract. The interdisciplinary project “Integrity of nuclear waste repository systems – Cross-scale system understanding and analysis (iCROSS)” combines research competencies of Helmholtz scientists related to the topics of nuclear, geosciences, biosciences and environmental simulations in collaborations overarching the research fields energy and earth and environment. The focus is to understand and analyze close-to-real long-term evolutionary pathways of radioactive waste repositories across nanoscales to repository scales. The project is subdivided into work packages dealing with laboratory studies, field experiments in underground research laboratories (URLs), advanced modelling studies and the integration and alignment of data and information using virtual reality methods. In this sense, the project structure aims at a holistic view on relevant processes across scales in order to comprehensively simulate potential repository evolutions. Within the multi-barrier system of a repository for heat-generating radioactive waste, a number of complex reactions proceed, including dissolution, redox processes, biochemical reactions, gas evolution and solid/liquid interface and (co)precipitation reactions. At the same time, thermal and external mechanical stress has an impact on the conditions in a deep geological repository. All those processes are highly coupled, with multiple interdependencies on various scales and have a strong impact on radionuclide mobility and retention. In recent years, substantial progress was achieved in describing coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical-chemical-biological (THM/CB) processes in numerical simulations. A realistic and concise description of these coupled processes on different time and spatial scales is, at present, a largely unresolved scientific and computational challenge. The close interaction of experimental and simulation teams aims at a more accurate quantification and assessment of processes and thus, the reduction of uncertainties and of conservative assumptions and eventually to a close-to-real perception of the repository evolution. One focus of iCROSS is directed to relevant processes in a clay rock repository. In this context, the iCROSS team became a full member of the international Mont Terri consortium and worked in close collaboration with international and German institutions in URL projects. Respective experiments specifically deal with coupled processes at the reactive interfaces in a repository near field (e.g. the steel/bentonite and bentonite/concrete interfaces). Within iCROSS, the impact of secondary phase formation on radionuclide transport is investigated. At Mont Terri, experiments are in preparation to study radionuclide transport phenomena in clay rock formations within temperature gradients and in facies exhibiting significant heterogeneities on different scales (nm to cm). Beside those studies, high resolution exploration methods for rock characterization are developed and tested and the effect of temperature and other boundary conditions on the strength, creep properties and healing of faults within Opalinus clay are quantified. Multiphysics models coupled to reactive transport simulation have been further developed and applied to laboratory and field experiments. Results are digitally analyzed and illustrated in a visualization center, in order to enhance the comprehension of coupled processes in repository systems across scales. The present contribution provides an overview on the project and reports selected results. The impact of considering complex coupled processes in repository subsystems for the assessment of the integrity of a given (generic) repository arrangement is discussed.

The study is devoted to the comprehension of activities of Tambov scientists involved in the study of the Y.I. Zamyatin’s works. We analyze the materials of the “Zamyatin readings” of 1992–2014. We draw conclusion that Tambov literature studies scholars managed to accumulate and generalize a huge bibliographic, historical-literary and linguistic material, structure and comprehend archival material, and analyze the vast Zamyatin’s heritage. Moreover, the prospects of the Tambov science school are obvious: firstly, the further study of the Y.I. Zamyatin’s heritage in the context of both the “near” and the contemporary culture – domestic and western, and secondly, the remaining problematic nature of many issues of Zamyatin studies and primarily related to textology.

Royal attire aspect as part of the process of fashion and identity is an interesting phenomenon for a study. Especially if that aspect is then intended as a special element in relation to the events of ceremonialism and performance art in Yogyakarta Palace. In this presentation, a phenomenon which is closely related to the development of attires in the event of ceremonialism and performance art in the palace. Ceremonialism itself is a formal pattern designed for strategic interests which is combined in a compromise manner through the presentation of performance art. As stored in archival and document sources, there are always a number of formal standard patterns applied in ceremonialism. The best sources that are still being treated in the Sultan's Palace are manuscript records such as planners, budgels, pranatan and so on. In addition, through the archival studies approach, it is also known that the pattern of formal memory is also well stored among society record keepers as an oral tradition. This archival studies approach then limits in the area of fashion studies in a variety of standard formal patterns when the Yogyakarta Kraton performing arts perform certain ceremonies.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to remind researchers that measurement errors and inappropriate inferences may result from improperly combining and adjusting certain Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) measures. Design/methodology/approach In addition to real-world working examples, the study uses earnings announcements data to examine the effects of improperly combining and adjusting CRSP measures. Findings This study assists researchers with the following two considerations when using CRSP data: stand-alone share prices adjusted with CRSP adjustment factors are inaccurate in the presence of property dividend, spin-off and rights offering events; and ignoring covertly missing stock returns may create misleading test results. The primary objectives of the study are to help researchers increase the integrity of their studies and the probability of publication. Research limitations/implications Inadequate consideration for the two issues discussed in the paper may change the researcher’s statistical inferences. Originality/value Archival researchers who overtly address and discuss the existence of these issues achieve two important and related benefits. First, the researcher increases his or her credibility with editors and reviewers, which enhances the probability of a published study. Second, the researcher increases his or her perceived technical competency, which potentially affects promotion and tenure decisions, editorial membership decisions, co-authorship opportunities and other professional effects. Doctoral students will find this study to be particularly useful.

Abstract The PRoteomics IDEntifications (PRIDE) database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/) is the world's largest data repository of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data. PRIDE is one of the founding members of the global ProteomeXchange (PX) consortium and an ELIXIR core data resource. In this manuscript, we summarize the developments in PRIDE resources and related tools since the previous update manuscript was published in Nucleic Acids Research in 2019. The number of submitted datasets to PRIDE Archive (the archival component of PRIDE) has reached on average around 500 datasets per month during 2021. In addition to continuous improvements in PRIDE Archive data pipelines and infrastructure, the PRIDE Spectra Archive has been developed to provide direct access to the submitted mass spectra using Universal Spectrum Identifiers. As a key point, the file format MAGE-TAB for proteomics has been developed to enable the improvement of sample metadata annotation. Additionally, the resource PRIDE Peptidome provides access to aggregated peptide/protein evidences across PRIDE Archive. Furthermore, we will describe how PRIDE has increased its efforts to reuse and disseminate high-quality proteomics data into other added-value resources such as UniProt, Ensembl and Expression Atlas.

Abstract:

Abstract The mouse continues as one of the most important model organisms. The Jackson Laboratory Repository serves as a centralized facility for developing, rederiving, cryopreserving and distributing mouse models. The Repository contains a large repertoire of mouse strains related to immunology research that have applications in studies of basic immunology, innate immunity, cancer research, autoimmunity, allergic diseases, and infectious diseases. Selecting appropriate mutant mice is often difficult. For example, mice devoid of CD4+ T cells are found in 3 different strains including a Cd4 −/− strain (B6.129S2-Cd4tm1Mak/J), a strain where MHC class II genes were deleted (B6.129-H2dlAb1-Ea/J), or a targeted mutation in the class II transactivator (B6.129S2-C2tatm1Ccum/J). A wide variety of cre-expressing strains, targeted mutants with loxP-flanked genes and tetracycline regulated transactivator-expressing mice are available that require careful selection. Other factors for model selection include mutation characteristics related to mechanism of action, cell types affected, effects of the mutation on breeding and lifespan, and other associated phenotypes. The strain background including breeding performance, MHC haplotype, disease resistance/susceptibilility and known mutations, such as hemolytic complement deficiency found in a subset of inbred strains, could confound results.

The article is dedicated to a story from the literary life of Russian emigration related to the anniversary of Boris Zaitsev of 1926. The article introduces hitherto unknown archival material that demonstrates how Alexey Remizov worked to cover this literary event in the pages of the European press. Archival documents (fragments of a hitherto unpublished emigrant period correspondence of Remizov and Zaitsev) and unknown print sources have allowed me to describe the nature of the relationship between two writers sharing similar literary biographies in the context of the literary situation of 1926. The anniversary celebration as a factor of public recognition for Remizov became an occasion for integrating significant phenomena of Russian literature into European literature and culture. The article contains obscure biographical information about Remizov’s correspondents.
