On the terminological standard draft “SIBID. Library collection. Terms and definitions”

The author examines the draft of standard new version (GOST R 7.0.94–2015 “SIBID. Library document acquisitions. Terms and definitions”. The need for ordering terms in the area of collection development and collection studies. Owing to the terminology’s expanding onto collection studies, the standard title has changed from “Library collections. Terms and definitions”. The standard focuses on terms and definitions within the subject area of “library collection studies, library collections”. The vectors of standard drafting are discussed: outdated standardized definitions are edited; processes structure and contents are changed according to the modern theory and practice related to library collections; concept list for library collection characteristics is expanded; new concepts to describe library activities in digital environment are introduced. The draft standard comprises 170 terms and the alphabet index. The author describes Rosstandardregulated approaches toward national standard development [Rosstandard – Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology]. The new version key provisions and definitions can be used for references and will support further development of new regulations, methodological documents and instructions for library activities, and library collection studies.

The paper presents the results of the analysis of systems of computer algebra with specialized purpose Magma, evaluation of the possibility of its use for modulation of processes in symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic systems, as well as recommendations for their further improvement. Magma functionality is also analyzed for evaluation of possibility to model and study promising candidates for the post-quantum standard of electronic signature algorithms, asymmetric encryption and key encapsulation, including algorithms based on cryptographic transformations in the lattice-based, the use of hash trees, mathematical codes that are undergoing research during the NIST PQC competition, as well as the draft standard "Vershina 1".

Influence of roof slope on timber consumption in plane trusses design

The growing world consumption of wood in civil construction is evident, especially in structural roofing systems. Despite being from a renewable source, its rational and intelligent use is of vital importance in the execution of structural designs. Because it is a system that is recognized worldwide in the design of trussing roof structures, there are several empirical assumptions for structural calculation. To reduce timber consumption, some tile manufacturers suggest a 10% (6°) slope between chords. However, after simulations of 11 slopes with angles from 5° to 15°, the timber consumption was inversely proportional to the slope, reaching a 90% difference between extreme angles. The method used to obtain the results was software designed according to the routines prescribed by the new draft standard of ABNT NBR 7190 (2021). Considering a prefabricated truss with 5 cm thickness sections, the design criterion was that of minimum height, increasing by 0.10 cm until all checks were satisfied. Finally, the minimum angle after which no strengthening is required on the bars was 10°.

IEEE P7001: A Proposed Standard on Transparency

This paper describes IEEE P7001, a new draft standard on transparency of autonomous systems1. In the paper, we outline the development and structure of the draft standard. We present the rationale for transparency as a measurable, testable property. We outline five stakeholder groups: users, the general public and bystanders, safety certification agencies, incident/accident investigators and lawyers/expert witnesses, and explain the thinking behind the normative definitions of “levels” of transparency for each stakeholder group in P7001. The paper illustrates the application of P7001 through worked examples of both specification and assessment of fictional autonomous systems.

Study of Factors Influence on the Variability of Time for Consensus Building in Coalitions Based on Regular Markov Chains

Draft standard is approved if and only if consensus of the technical committee for standardization (TC) is ensured before its approval by the standardization body at the national, regional and international level. Previously published works of authors dedicated to the construction of a mathematical model of time to build a consensus (number of negotiations) in terms of variation in the number of TC members and their level of authoritarianism. The present study is a continuation of these works for the case of the formation of coalitions in TC. The mathematical model is constructed to ensure consensus on the work of technical standardization committees in terms of coalitions, which are overcome during the negotiation process by concessions. This paper analyzes the factors, which influence the time for consensus building in this case: the value of the assignment and an index of the effect of the coalition. It is proved that the time to build a consensus signifi-cantly depends on the value of unilateral concessions coalition and weakly depends on the size of coalitions with a fixed number of TC members. Built regression model of dependence of the average number of approvals from the value of the assignment. It was revealed that even a small concession leads to the onset of consensus, increasing the size of the as-signment results (with other factors being equal) to a sharp decline in time before the consensus. It is shown that the as-signment of a larger coalition against small coalitions takes on average more time before building a consensus. The factors influencing the variability of the number of concessions were investigated. The change in the root-mean-square deviation (RMS) of the time to build a consensus varies nonlinearly from small concessions Y=10% to large Y=75%, regardless of the ratio of the number of members between coalitions. In the simulations, at concessions Y=10% there is the largest variation among the number of consensuses in the experiments. Concession of the authoritarian leader in group reduces the number of negotiations and increases the quality of consensus. The results obtained are of practical value for all structures where the emergence of coalitions entails the impossibility of consensual decision-making and requires consideration of different ways to build a consensual solution.

Recommendations for the FAIRification of genomic track metadata

Background: Many types of data from genomic analyses can be represented as genomic tracks, i.e. features linked to the genomic coordinates of a reference genome. Examples of such data are epigenetic DNA methylation data, ChIP-seq peaks, germline or somatic DNA variants, as well as RNA-seq expression levels. Researchers often face difficulties in locating, accessing and combining relevant tracks from external sources, as well as locating the raw data, reducing the value of the generated information. Description of work: We propose to advance the application of FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) to produce searchable metadata for genomic tracks. Findability and Accessibility of metadata can then be ensured by a track search service that integrates globally identifiable metadata from various track hubs in the Track Hub Registry and other relevant repositories. Interoperability and Reusability need to be ensured by the specification and implementation of a basic set of recommendations for metadata. We have tested this concept by developing such a specification in a JSON Schema, called FAIRtracks, and have integrated it into a novel track search service, called TrackFind. We demonstrate practical usage by importing datasets through TrackFind into existing examples of relevant analytical tools for genomic tracks: EPICO and the GSuite HyperBrowser. Conclusion: We here provide a first iteration of a draft standard for genomic track metadata, as well as the accompanying software ecosystem. It can easily be adapted or extended to future needs of the research community regarding data, methods and tools, balancing the requirements of both data submitters and analytical end-users.

Strategy of Promoting E-Learning in School Library

In 1970, a Fortune magazine announced the names of top 500 enterprises and their performance in the United States. Ten years later, one third of them disappeared. Due to unprecedented technology progress and increase in competitiveness in last 20 years, so-called learning organization has become the most successful corporation. Hence, the ability to learn faster than your competitors may have become the only sustainable competitive advantage.So far schools have had difficulties to adapt enterprises’ strategy to become ‘learning school’. Using the unique characteristics and resources of a school and its community is a way to create competitive curricula. Moreover, teachers are encouraged to employ information technology (multi-media software tools) to create and edit teaching materials.In the near future, school library will play the important role to help readers to learn how to learn by software and hardware tools. Teacher librarians will set up Information Communication Technology platform, organize some reading club to improve their reading behavior, hold information literacy seed teachers contest to upgrade readers information literacy capability and researching conference.for exchanging experience Meanwhle, developing catalogue and classification standards for digital materials by IEEE’s Draft Standard for Learning Object Metadata.provide informations for their readers from Internet and knowledge database, and learn the trend of fast advance of modern science and technology to make innovative activities.

COMPETENCE-ORIENTED FORMATION OF TEACHERS' INDIVIDUAL HEALTH PRESERVATION IN THE SYSTEM OF CONTINUING PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

The requirements for up-to-date professional training of teachers provide for the formation of competencies that are close to the teacher's individual health preservation competence and are formed simultaneously with its components.The purpose of the article is to reveal the competence aspects of the formation of teachers' individual health preservation in the system of continuing pedagogical education.The consistency of the components of the individual health preservation competence with the competencies defined in the draft standard of teacher training is theoretically substantiated. The peculiarities of the components of individual health preservation competence formation in the process of continuing pedagogical education are shown, in particular, during the study of the course “Technologies of teacher's individual health preservation and professional burnout prevention” and the preventive program “Teacher's Health”.The proposed measures of formal and non-formal education, which are focused on the formation of the components of individual health preservation competence in future teachers and teachers-practitioners, allow to influence the formation of professional competencies defined by current standards.Kеуwоrds: teacher, health, individual health preservation competence, professional standard, continuous pedagogical education.

High rise buildings stairwells pressure differential systems tests and improvement solutions

The task of fire pressure differential systems in a building is to prevent smoke from entering protected spaces such as stairwells and areas that should remain smoke-free in the event of fire. The required overpressure must consider leakage within the protected space. This article presents the results of testing to determine the impact of leakage of the protected space on the conditions for maintaining overpressure. The research was conducted in accordance with draft standard N161-prEN12101-6. The pressure distribution as a function of time was obtained for stairwells with different levels of leakage, using a constant flow aeration fan as well as systems with a variable airflow. Practical application: Designers of differential pressure smoke control systems are required to calculate aeration fan airflow volume. The leakage level of protected spaces should be taken into consideration given that European Standard EN12101-6 suggests that gap areas should be minimal. Consequently, modern building design and construction requires estimation of the leakage area in such protected spaces. The objective is to improve safety of buildings and reduce the system reaction time during a fire.

‘All hands-on deck’, working together to develop UK standards for public involvement in research

Background Public involvement in research is an established part of the research process in the UK, however there remain questions about what good public involvement in research looks and feels like. Until now public involvement practitioners, researchers and members of the public have looked for answers in examples shared across networks, published case studies, guidance and research articles. Pulling these strands together, the UK Standards for Public Involvement provides six statements (standards) about public involvement in research. They were produced by a partnership of organisations from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England with contributions from involvement practitioners, public partners, researchers and research funders. Main body Each standard has reflective questions, which are designed to encourage standard users to use approaches and behaviours that improve involvement, over time. The standards are designed to be used as a practical tool, and reflect the agreed hallmarks of good public involvement in research for example, flexibility in approaches used, shared learning, and mutual respect. The standards development process is described from the initial idea and scoping, via the appraisal of existing standard sets and integration of values and principles in public involvement in research. The collaborative writing process of and consultation on the draft standard set is described, together with what changed as a result of feedback. The initiation of a year-long testing programme with forty participating research organisations, the experiential feedback and the resulting changes to the standards is summarised. Conclusion This commentary paper describes, in some detail, a process to develop a set of six standards for public involvement in research in the UK. Producing a complex, national public involvement initiative is not without its challenges, and in supplementary material partnership members reflect on and share their experiences of standards development. The next phase of integration and implementation is explored with concluding comments from those that tested and helped improve the standards.
