OPTIMALISASI PEMANFAATAN APLIKASI SENAYAN LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SLiMS) PADA PERPUSTAKAAN PERGURUAN TINGGI DI KOTA PEKANBARU

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimization of the utilization of the Senayan Library Management System (SLiMS) application in the library in Pekanbaru City. The method used in this research is qualitative. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, which is sampling intentionally based on officers who are directly involved with the required sample requirements. The results of the study indicate that from several indicators that have been determined, the utilization of the SLiMS application cannot be said to be optimal because the features in the SLiMS application have not been fully utilized. Unilak Library UPT does not take advantage of two features, namely the Inventory feature and serial publication control feature, while the UMRI Library UPT has utilized all the features but there are still some sub-features that are not utilized. Utilization of existing features in the SLiMS application at UPT UMRI Library and UPT Unilak Library is based on the needs and policies of the Library.

Polish presence on Belarusian lands in the twentieth century: the experience of interaction between historians of the two countries 2017–2020

In 2017–2020 The Center for Eastern European Studies of the University of Warsaw has published four voluminous volumes of the serial edition “Poles in Belarus” edited by the historian Tadeusz Gawin. The books reflect the results of a large-scale Polish-Belarusian scientific project, in the course of which Polish and Belarusian historians focused their attention on the problems of history that are urgent for both countries, first of all, of the twentieth century. In particular, separate volumes and scientific conferences preceding them were devoted to the Polish and Belarusian ideas of state independence in 1918–2018 and the military action of 1920 against the backdrop of political changes in the twentieth century. The uniqueness of the serial publication is that historians from Belarusian state universities and research institutes actively participated in it; this practice, in the context of a sharp deterioration in Polish-Belarusian political relations, has already become a thing of the past.

Le Massacre des Amazones : une reconnaissance des femmes de lettres ?

"At the time of its serial publication, The Massacre of the Amazons was a great success because it reflected the concern of the society of the Belle Epoque in the face of the growing importance of women’s literature. Its author, Han Ryner, did not cease to denounce the ridicule of these women who denaturalized themselves by appropriating the masculine privilege that is fictional writing. He was indeed ruthless for the novelists. But while expressing his hatred, he did not realize that his satirical work was involved, in different ways, in the promotion and recognition of feminine writing"

Feminist studies of periodicals: From heuristics to interpretation and evaluation

This paper analyzes the way in which women's interpretive communities are formed and the methodology of production of (feminist) knowledge. The analysis connects the results of contemporary studies of feminist periodicals/feminist studies of periodicals, and the project Srpkinja (Serbian woman) from 1913. The interpretation of the book Srpkinja starts from the assumption that it is a (serial) publication which contains autopoetic statements and hypotheses about magazines. This is, probably, the first case in the history of Serbian/Yugoslav periodicals of a serial publication that (systematically) describes the basic categories which are necessary for interpreting, creating and editing women/feminist periodicals. In this paper Srpkinja is analyzed as the first carefully conceived project based on the construction of women's networks, thanks to which one of the first women's interpretive community was formed.

Tiny Taps and Noisy Hacks

At the turn of the twentieth century, Dakota artist-activist Gertrude Bonnin, widely known by her self-chosen name, Zitkala Ša, brought attention to the violence of compulsory boarding schools with a series of narrative essays published in the Atlantic Monthly. Existing scholarship focusing on her activism, however, lacks a sustained study of the subversive role of sound, especially music and dance, in her literary and musical projects. This essay aims to address that gap through a study of Zitkala Ša’s sophisticated sonic politics. After discussing the historical tension between prohibiting and appropriating Indigenous sounds, I explore how the boarding school press became a formidable engine for assimilation projects. A close reading in tandem with tracing the reception of Zitkala Ša’s essay “The Indian Dance: A Protest Against Its Abolition” highlights her reverse-gaze strategy while also underscoring how effectively it agitated strident assimilationists. Likewise, her collaboration on The Sun Dance Opera resulted in the project’s defying tidy categorization and denying full disclosure of the ceremony, thereby rendering its own sonic politics of self-determination. Often mistakenly considered a domesticity-centered hiatus in her literary career, Zitkala Ša’s years on the Uintah-Ouray Reservation were a period of creative sonic productivity and constitute a significant era in Zitkala Ša’s developing activism, bridging her younger, serial publication years with the sophistication of the federal-level vocal activism of her later years.

Дхарани из состава Монгольского Ганджура (на примере «Дхарани, именуемой „Сердце-сущность Святого, [обладающего] безграничной жизнью и знанием“»)

The article deals with dhāraṇī texts included in the 108-volume Mongolian language Kangyur. A xylographic edition of the Mongolian Kangyur was delivered from expeditions to China by the Indian scientist Raghuvira, and subsequently used for reprint in the Śata-Piṭaka Series by Lokesh Chandra. A copy of this 108-volume serial publication was purchased through Buryat monasteries by the Kalmyk Gelong Tugmyud Gavji (O. M. Dordzhiev, 1887‒1980), and now constitutes a valuable part of the collection of old written sources at the Scientific Archive of Kalmyk Scientific Center (RAS). Analysis of tables of contents that precede each volume of the L. Chandra edition, and that of texts included show that dhāraṇī (Sanskrit dhāraṇī, Tib. Gzungs ‘spell’, Mong. tarni, toγtaγal ‘tarni, darani, magic formulas’) texts can be traced in a number of volumes and, respectively, in different sections, mainly in ones titled Dandr-a (‘Tantra’) and Eldeb (‘Collection of Sutras’). So, some volumes include single texts and others cluster them in single blocks (selections). The Dhāraṇī Titled ‘Heart-Essence [of the Holy One Possessing] Limitless Life and Knowledge’ is one such dhāraṇī text from Volume 23 transliterated and translated (with comments) in this work. Goals. The article examines available materials and provides an overview of dhāraṇī works within the Mongolian Kangyur, presents a translation of one notable dhāraṇī. Materials and Methods. The study gains comparative textual and structural insights into the Lokesh Chandra edition of the Kangyur and compares it to other editions, seeking to identify specific compositional features of various publications and reasons underlying the latter. Results and Conclusions. History of Mongolian Kangyur compilations – the compendium at large and its individual texts – is very complicated and requires further research.

Character Adaptations: Recurrence and Return

This paper examines recurring character storytelling as the most prodigiously successful tradition in fiction of the last two hundred years. James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales and Honoré de Balzac’s La Comédie humaine are proposed as significant precursors that embody two dominant trends within recurring character storytelling: the central protagonist series and the populous storyworld. The foundations of recurring character storytelling are traced in a range of determinants including: increasing literacy and the rise of popular genres; modes of serial publication; and the development and enforcement of copyright law. Finally, focusing upon the central protagonist variant, the age and aging of recurring characters are discussed as a necessary consideration for the makers and adapters of such series. Several are analysed, including James Bond, Sharpe, the Morse franchise, and Midsomer Murders, to illuminate how makers handle chronology, the passage of time, and related issues in adaptation. As part of an assessment of the ‘affordances’ of recurring character fictions, nostalgia and familiarity are discussed as significant dimensions of the experience they furnish.

Zapałowicz’s Conspectus florae Galiciae criticus: Clarification of publication dates for nomenclatural purposes and bibliographic notes

Work on the catalogue of type specimens of vascular plants deposited in the KRAM herbarium has highlighted uncertainties and errors in references to place of valid publication of numerous taxa described by Hugo Zapałowicz in his Conspectus florae Galiciae criticus – Krytyczny przegląd roślinności Galicyi (1904–1914). Zapałowicz published his work in an excerpt series, a serial publication and a multi-volume book, with much duplication amongst these three different forms. Despite the importance of this work, no studies have clarified the dates of publication of its various parts, as relevant to the nomenclature of numerous new taxa of Central European vascular plants described therein: 94 species and hybrids, 10 subspecies and more than 2000 other infraspecific taxa. Here, the publication dates of the component parts of Zapałowicz’s work are clarified and discussed. Archival sources that made it possible to determine publication dates of these works are described in detail.
