Harlow Gale is often depicted as the first experimentalist in advertising thought. This positioning elides influences which impacted upon his thinking. In this article, we outline Gale's involvement with psychical research and its implications for advertising. These narratives are situated within a genealogy of subliminal processes across advertising and marketing theory from the late nineteenth century through to social cognition studies today. Gale's connection with psychical research, in conjunction with early practitioner reflections on the unconscious, formed the enabling conditions for his major contributions to advertising. Psychical scholarship spotlighted the centrality of the "multiplex self" to human functioning. While psychical framings scaffolded Gale's empirical, conceptual, and theoretical work, it also limited greater engagement with his insights. However, subsequent modifications of advertising theory and practice are underwritten by levels of continuity and discontinuity that facilitate the identification of psychically indebted bodies of thought from Gale's time to the present day. Taken together, these analytic associations provide a substantive reorientation of historical and contemporary accounts of advertising theory and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. The end of the reading room? Simulating the impact of digitisation on the physical access of archival collections.

- Abstract
Digitisation has become an essential part of archival and library strategies to enhance access to collections. As the digital content is increasing due to large-scale digitisation projects, it is expected that providing digital access to the analogue collections will eventually reduce the number of archival records accessed in the reading room. In this paper, we investigate this issue using two approaches: system dynamics and agent-based modelling. We first analyse real data in order to identify the dynamic hypothesis of the model. Then, a sensitivity analysis is conducted on two baseline models to identify scenarios that match the real dataset. Although the two approaches suceed to simulate the number of requests in the reading room, the experimental results show that a better fit is obtained in the agent-based model when not only the number of records that have been accessed and digitised is taken into account, but also the number of times that such records have been accessed before digitisation. The proposed model can be used to explore the impact of different digitisation strategies on the decrease in access requests in the archival and library reading rooms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Megamalls affect their surrounding areas while meeting the needs of citizens, but the amount of these effects can vary in different areas of the city according to the contextual characteristics; In this research, the type and extent of the spatial effects of four megamalls in Tabriz on the surrounding areas have been investigated. The main question of this study is 'How do the megamalls built in Tabriz affect their vicinities?' In order to analyze the spatial data related to the spatial value of the city, Moran and Kriging analyses have been used. Next, with the help of a treated-control, linear trend line analysis and difference-in-difference techniques, the data related to the surrounding area of each of the megamalls were analyzed. The results show that the impact of megamalls on the surrounding areas is greater in valuable urban areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

War photography scholarship tends to focus attention on photographers' lives and the thematic content of images. This study shifts the spotlight onto how varied members of the public respond to a body of work, in this case the photography and filmmaking of Tim Hetherington (1970-2011), whose archive the Imperial War Museum (IWM) obtained in 2017. We discuss findings from a number of visually-led focus groups with refugees, veterans, military family members, photography students and museum volunteers. Together we examined his image-making process with the groups to discover how they discussed notions such as intimacy, masculinity, the 'good' conflict photograph, and ethical dilemmas. We argue that engaging with multiple public perspectives through visual elicitation methods enhances curatorial knowledge and understanding of image-making practices in this specific context, whilst also offering insights for national museums more broadly on how dialogue with diverse communities can enrich the handling and display of new collections.

RUSSIAN invasion of Ukraine, 2022- ,ACCESS to archives - Abstract
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 has had a devastating impact on various aspects of society, including the research landscape. Limited access to archives in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus has made it difficult for scholars from the West to conduct research in these regions, and cooperation with colleagues in Russia is currently risky. However, there are still possibilities for remote research and alternative research focuses, such as studying other countries in the post-Soviet space. Scholars can also explore archives and libraries in Finland and the Baltic states for valuable research materials. The article discusses the availability of research materials on late imperial Russia, particularly focusing on the accessibility of digitized sources. The author highlights major research libraries in London, such as the British Library and the archives of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London, which hold collections of late imperial newspapers and books. The internet has also made more materials available, including digitized books, newspapers, journals, and archival materials. The author suggests that while some source materials have limitations, combining different sources can provide a fuller understanding of historical questions. The article also raises ethical considerations in engaging with research on Russia, particularly in light of the country's invasion of Ukraine. [Extracted from the article]

Arrival of e-books on the scene has had a significant effect on the collection development activities of many academic libraries. Whilst some libraries have made the radical decision to ditch print books in favor of e-books, others are cautiously navigating the new terrain by acquiring both. The current study used the survey research design to study the collection development trends of print books and e-books in academic libraries in Malawi. The study found that academic libraries in Malawi are acquiring both print books and e-books. The trend has resulted from collection development decisions, practices, and budgetary constraints.

15. Celebrating Maimonides in Cairo (1935): Jewish historiography, Islamic philosophy and the nahḍa.
- Author

Admiraal, Lucia
- Abstract
The year 1935 marked the 800th anniversary of the birth of the Jewish scholar Moses ben Maimon, better known as Maimonides. This article focuses on representations of Maimonides as a cultural hero during this anniversary year, taking as its central case the commemorations in Cairo. Specifically, the article examines Jewish historiography and discussions on the Jewish past in Egypt tied with debates on revival, commonly known as the nahḍa. It argues first of all that Egyptian Jewish and non-Jewish intellectuals dominantly embraced Maimonides as a philosopher, to be studied in the context of Arabic and Islamic thought. Second, these intellectuals stressed the critical role that Jews and Islamic thought at large had played in the transmission of knowledge to the West. Third, for the Jewish historians who organised the celebrations, Maimonides symbolised the rich heritage of Jewish intellectual culture in the Islamic world, which they perceived to be in current decline and stagnation. Lastly, the celebrations were entangled with discussions on heritage and ownership, as will be shown by the case of Jews in Egypt debating ownership of the Cairo Genizah. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a longitudinal bibliometric study of articles from six major universities published over 130 years of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The Scopus API (Application Programming Interface) was used to download bibliographic metadata in multiple tables to create a relational database for automated data extraction and manipulation scripts to analyze publishing and citation indicators. The study examined several correlations between average number of institutional, non-institutional, single-and multiple- authored, and international authors per paper and citation counts; open access trends; and page count indicators. Also reported are the characteristics of highly cited papers and the average number of citations for articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The written press for young people participates in the primary socialization - and therefore in the sports socialization - of its readers and can therefore open up the field of possibilities, arouse admiration or even "vocations", as well as participate in a broader process of stigmatization/discrimination. Based on a plural empirical device, this article focuses on the sports contents broadcasted by what can be considered as an unavoidable journalistic reference in France: Le Petit Quotidien. It first shows that sport does not really constitute a "media pillar" of this magazine. It then reveals a differential treatment of physical, sports, artistic and traditional activities. Finally, it presents the different ways of presenting sports and football in the daily newspaper's columns: a tendency to illustrate sports through images, while football is more developed through writing.

BIG data ,MARKETING education ,ANALYTICAL skills ,BUSINESS enterprises ,EFFECTIVE teaching - Abstract
In the era of big data, many business organizations consider data analytics skills as important criteria in the acquisition of qualified applicants. As numerous managerial decisions in the field of marketing are becoming evidence-based, business schools have integrated case studies about different stages of data analytics such as problem identification, data collection, data processing, data analysis and data visualization in order to improve the knowledge of marketing students. Although case studies can provide a good theoretical foundation about data analytics in the field of marketing, but they may not be sufficient for building analytical skills from a technical perspective. This paper provides a guideline on how Python as a programming language can be used to explore large datasets and improve marketing students' capabilities with a focus on data processing, data analysis and data visualization tasks. In this research, a survey was conducted to measure the teaching effectiveness and overall satisfaction of marketing students (n = 84) in a Canadian university. The evidence suggests that Python libraries designed for marketing-related data analysis and data visualization have positive outcomes in students' learning experience and perception of teaching effectiveness.

The Michigan State University Libraries (MSUL) digital repository contains numerous collections of openly available material. Since 2016, the digital repository has been using Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) subject headings as its primary subject vocabulary in order to streamline faceting, display, and search. The MSUL FAST use case presents some challenges that are not addressed by existing MARC-focused FAST tools. This paper will outline the MSUL digital repository team's justification for including FAST headings in the digital repository as well as workflows for adding FAST headings to Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) metadata, their maintenance, and utilization for discovery.

ACADEMIC libraries ,PUBLISHING - Abstract
In 2020 the University of Kansas Libraries began a year-long diversity audit of the circulating monograph collection. The study, which utilized the checklist method evaluated the Libraries' holdings based on a curated list of award winning and nominated titles. In addition to determining if specific titles were part of the collection, the study also sought to learn how these books were acquired. The study found that the library owned 60% of the 6,671 titles checked and of those with a known acquisitions method, 59% came via an approval plan. Titles and publishers not profiled by GOBI were significantly less likely to be in the collection as they were not included in the approval plan or highlighted by a slip notification. The Libraries' reliance on GOBI and efficient and streamlined selection and acquisition processes has resulted in a less diverse collection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anton van den Wyngaerde's (c. 1490–1571) Panorama of Walcheren (after c. 1548) depicts the entire Island and the North Sea across ten metres of rolled paper. As the scene unfurls, viewers travel across Walcheren's dikes, roads, and waterways. Staffage accompanies the viewer on this mental journey, animating the topographical vision. Comparison with Jacob van Deventer's (c. 1500/5–1575) maps of Walcheren's largest cities (c. 1550) demonstrates van den Wyngaerde's pictorial style. His style's potential for cinematic absorption was suited to the panorama's intended audience and location. A version of this panorama hung in the Palacio de El Pardo of Philip II (1527–1598), King of Spain, by September 1564. That painted panorama, now lost, brought before the king's eyes an illustrated account of the Island's economic and defensive significance. Strolling the length of the gallery, Philip could envision past time spent on Walcheren and find himself immersed in the Island's cultural experiences while being reminded of its position. The viewing experience offered the king of Spain a microcosmic synecdoche of his imperial power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Modeling Metrics of Digital Media Use in Public Libraries: Holdings and Circulation Vs. Access and Licensing in Post-Custodial Collections.

Public libraries submit the number of holdings and circulation of items in their collections to their state libraries annually, which in turn report these statistics to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Public Library Survey (PLS). The reported numbers qualify public libraries for federal and state funding. Additionally, the quantity of holdings (traditionally monographs, serials and physical popular media) is often compared to the circulation (number of check-outs) of those items to calculate a cost-per-circulation number. This calculation becomes complicated when a library's "holdings" become ephemeral due to the nature of digital media and digital licensing models. This article describes several existing metrics for assessing the holdings and circulation of digital assets within both public and academic libraries and argues for the adoption of post-custodial holding metrics used by archives to better represent items available to library patrons, especially those in traditionally underserved demographics.

Tourist homes, private residences that rented rooms to traveling guests, were once a popular form of tourist accommodation in the United States. Reaching their peak in the early 20th century, tourist homes largely became obsolete as hotels and motels were able to provide relatively inexpensive and standardized forms of hospitality. As a result of their meteoric rise and fall, and the private nature of the lodging, tourist homes have been neglected in studies of historical tourism and hospitality. However, tourist homes occupied an important position in providing welcome and other forms of hospitality to travelers, particularly Black Americans, in the first half of the 20th century, and this role deserves to be recovered and recognized. An exploration of tourist homes listed in the Green Book, a Black American-centric travel guide published during the Jim Crow Era, reveals that tourist homes not only lodged travelers overnight, but also significantly contributed to forms of mobile resistance against white supremacy. Specifically, through a conceptualization of hospitality as resistance, tourist homes enabled opportunities for Black Americans to gain economic and social capital through processes of welcoming and establishing 'Black counterpublic spaces'. Particularly through constructions of home-like environments, tourist homes presented spaces that served as moorings within larger mobility networks, countering white supremacist attempts to immobilize and disadvantage Black Americans. Given these contributions to resistance and Black mobility, tourist homes deserve to be included in studies of tourism, hospitality, and Black geographies as important sites of welcoming, resistance, and resilience.

Between 1947 and 1972, governments of India and Pakistan laid claims to ownership, management and share of the India Office Library & Records. These attempts and the British government's responses to them have been bypassed by scholars of decolonisation. This article traces the trajectory of that dispute's three distinct phases, wherein different proposals were mooted to wrest and retain, respectively the riches and records of the IOL&R. Unlike the more-studied African and Southeast Asian cases from the former British Empire, this dispute was less clear-cut and therefore more demanding of both sides in their manoeuvres to pursue their desires. Legal, administrative and technical bids were made in historical and moral arguments, with cultural and economic factors listed in support. In providing their details, this article demonstrates a difficult episode for decolonisation, where at stake was both its curated imperial past and yet-to-be written national narratives. It shows how symbols of a shared history as well as sources of that history's separate writing became an arena of contest as much for the old glory as for new profits. At a time when decolonising history is in vogue, this article depicts the difficulties of even diversifying the artefacts of colonial history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This narrative celebrates the career of Janet Crayne, the bulk of whose service was at the University of Michigan (U-M). Written by Janet's successor as U-M's Librarian for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, it offers a unique perspective on Janet's many achievements and her legacy at U-M and beyond. Through conversations with Janet and her colleagues, the author finds that, even more than her love of books, her intimate knowledge of the SEEE region, and her belief in the many vital roles that libraries play, what made this great collector truly great was her passion for people and for service.

Inference after variable selection is a very important problem. This paper derives the asymptotic distribution of many variable selection estimators, such as forward selection and backward elimination, when the number of predictors is fixed. Under strong regularity conditions, the variable selection estimators are asymptotically normal, but generally the asymptotic distribution is a nonnormal mixture distribution. The theory shows that the lasso variable selection and elastic net variable selection estimators are n consistent estimators of β when lasso and elastic net are consistent estimators of β. A bootstrap technique to eliminate selection bias is to fit the variable selection estimator β ̂ V S * to a bootstrap sample to find a submodel, then draw another bootstrap sample and fit the same submodel to get the bootstrap estimator β ̂ MIX *. Bootstrap confidence regions were used for hypothesis testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A substantial number of (mostly health care) chaplaincy articles have emphasized the need for chaplaincy outcome research. In this study, we contribute to formulating intrinsic chaplaincy outcomes by first identifying chaplaincy goals. To this end, we have performed a scoping review of Dutch chaplaincy literature. We have focused on articles, books, and dissertations published between 2014 and 2019. Six distinct goals of chaplaincy were identified, using 86 fragments found in 33 sources: worldview vitality and plausibility, processing life events, deepening spirituality, relational affirmation, well-being, and exercising freedom of religion. Several of these main goals could be subdivided into more specific goals. Future research is needed to examine whether the found goals apply equally within the different types of chaplaincy and to examine their interrelations. In addition, future research should examine how these goals are pursued in practice and how they relate to client needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ownership of MARC bibliographic data has been an issue between OCLC and other companies in the marketplace. Two lawsuits are discussed between OCLC and Clarivate and SkyRiver. The "WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative" provides a basis for many library contracts and how OCLC lays claim to bibliographic data. The "ICOLC Statement on the Metadata Rights of Libraries" is used as a general framework for discussing issues surrounding who owns MARC records and how they can be used or re-used. Most librarians are interested in free and open use of MARC records whether or not they may have passed through the OCLC system at some point. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LIQUID crystals ,CHOLESTERIC liquid crystals ,COMPUTER simulation - Abstract
In this study, the two-dimensional (2D), lid-driven cavity flow of chiral liquid crystals (LCs) was modelled using the Landau de-Gennes (LdG) theory. Parametric studies investigating the effect of Er (Ericksen number) and Θ (chiral strength) on the microstructure of chiral LCs were performed. In this study, we observed that an increase in Θ caused the chiral texture to have more striations and shorter pitch lengths as causes for an increased number of defects. When Θ was held constant, an increase in Er disrupted the chiral structure and even broke it at very high Er. Interestingly, a transition from low Er (10) to moderate Er (1,000) increased the number of defects; however, further increases in Er reduced the number of defects since much of the chiral structure was destroyed by the high viscous flow effects. In particular, even at very high Er, the chiral structure and defects were still present as a vortex was always present with lower velocities, where the viscous flow effect was smaller. We also found that a hexagonal structure with penta-hepta defects formed at high chiral strengths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Spring 2021, the Georgia Tech Library received unexpectedly robust support for the redevelopment of the Library's previously removed Popular Reading Collection. The project had a strict four-month deadline to encumber funds and to ensure that materials were available before the Fall 2021 return to campus. A cross-functional team was established to create and implement a plan to achieve this goal. The successful project resulted in widespread positive feedback from students, Institute partners and leaders, and Library leadership. This case study demonstrates the importance of context in deciding library projects, the utility of cross-functional teams in establishing new collections, and the psychological value of physical materials to campus communities.

PE Teachers' Influence on Student Fitness Levels in Hawaii Erin E. Centeio SP F1 sp , University of Hawaii at Manoa; Alex C. Garn SP F sp , Louisiana State University; Charles F Morgan SP F sp , Karl Richard Hennebach, University of Hawaii at Manoa (ecenteio@hawaii.edu) B Background/Purpose b : Time spent in physical education (PE) with certified and fulltime PE teachers has declined over the last decade. The perceptions, teaching practices, learning, and needs of PE teachers are important to understand as beliefs influence teaching quality inclusive PE to all students in teachers' early careers (Stewart & Shade, 2001; Hodge, et al., 2009), and schools offering inclusive physical education courses are shown to have positive impressions on students' and teachers' attitudes towards individuals with disabilities (Obrusnikova et al., 2010). Participants (82%) reported that their program trains teachers to implement CSPAP, 30% reported that they train both physical education teachers and classroom teachers, 42% train physical education teachers only, and 3% train classroom teachers only.

Literature relating to education sessions in special collections has been prevalent in the field since the early 2000s. Following on from the publication of the ACRL-RBMS-SAA Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy published in the USA in 2018, this paper applies the guidelines to survey and interview responses to explore the key skills gained by undergraduates using special collections and the barriers to skills' acquisition throughout their degree programmes. Contextualizing the results through US and UK literature, this paper argues that special collections literacy can be embedded into interdisciplinary undergraduate curricula which in turn may help special collections advocate for increased resources to broaden their education programmes. It establishes a picture of current special collections education for UK universities including range, methods of delivery and assessment styles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

39. A Trip Down Market Street: A Century of 'Eureka' Moments.

Mauer, Barry and Morton, David
- Abstract
This article explores the production, repurposing, and reception of the Miles Brothers' A Trip Down Market Street through five iterations: the original Market Street print, filmed four days before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, avant-garde filmmaker Ernie Gehr's 1974 Eureka, Darryl Palmer's 1995 experimental essay about Eureka, film historian David Kiehn's 2006 restored print, and Denis Shiryaev's 2020 Youtube 4k version of A Trip Down Market Street. This study argues that the context of a print's re-use and exhibition not only changes its meaning and evokes different responses, but also that the circulation of this text through the 'popcycle' – the ensemble of discourses that sustain institutions and construct identity – facilitates the process of cultural invention at key moments in history.

HISTORY of education ,EDUCATION & politics ,HISTORIOGRAPHY ,EDUCATION - Abstract
In India, the history of education has traversed a unique path in the last hundred years. The political influences guided the discipline, but at the same time, they were also contested and critiqued in equal measures. History of education as a discipline went through four distinct phases. The first phase coincided with the last stage of the freedom movement (1920–1947), which saw a new interpretation of what constituted education from the perspectives of Indian tradition and its contestations. The second phase (1947–1980) began with the collection and publication of official documents with strong introductions analysing the complexity of the history of education in the colonial period. The third phase (1980–1998) revived the arguments that took centre stage during the freedom movement based on literary texts and political speeches. The fourth phase (1998–2020) has witnessed a critical questioning of the historiography of the previous decades on the basis of archival sources and saw the publication of books and journal articles on various themes. This paper looks at these distinct phases and analyses the underlying socio-political currents that moulded the history of education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

(He even offered a critical aside regarding Philip Mirowski - one of the most formidable, adept critics of mainstream "cyborg science" economics ([17]) - faulting him for his "rather distorted reading of many of the leading figures of the institutionalist literature" (Bush [5], 342; Bush [4]). If this seems like hyperbole, I would suggest that skeptical readers consult the 5.75 linear feet of files Bush left to the department of special collection at California State University's library - all meticulously preserved I à i la Bush in six large file boxes (Bush [7]). This, to me, was profoundly important and it led me to another facet of Bush's approach to life: when I first met Bush, and for well over a decade thereafter, Bush epitomized "instrumentalism" in every way. In 1967, I - "impecunious" as Dale Bush frequently described me, using his always-at-hand Veblenian terminology - rolled into what was then "Fresno State" (later rechristened, to the eternal dismay of the provincial old guard, California State University, Fresno).

The KPAP archive is small compared to other museum and gallery archives and these chapters make clear how much work is involved in digitising even a small archive. In 1969, John Kaldor launched the Kaldor Public Art Projects (KPAP) by commissioning the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to create a large-scale, site-specific installation. She goes on to reflect on the 50 SP th sp anniversary project which both utilised the archive and the form of the archive to celebrate KPAP, demonstrating how the archive can be used to inspire and create new works.

The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity to gauge how much, and why, people value visiting public libraries by asking them about the impact of the library closures. A questionnaire survey was administered to users of four library networks in New South Wales, Australia. About 19% of 1,295 respondents missed their library "a great deal," another 28% "quite a lot." Most commonly respondents missed browsing the shelves, taking children for visits, studying, reading, and socializing there. They also missed the quiet, relaxing, and friendly environment, and the resources provided. For many, the closures impacted their lives in a critical way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aims of this study were to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity and the possible anti-inflammatory mechanisms of Anastatica hierochuntica essential oil (EOAH). The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of the plant, and analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Their anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using classical model of inflammation (carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis). Nitric oxide radical-scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation were determined to assess the antioxidant activity of the essential oil. The EOAH mainly comprised Cuminaldehyde (33.8%), trans-β-Caryophyllene (32.5%), and Linalool (8.2%). EOAH significantly reduced edema, peritonitis, myeloperoxidase activity, and NOx-peritoneal lavage concentration induced by carrageenan. In addition, nitric oxide radical generated from sodium nitroprusside was significantly inhibited by the essential oil. Furthermore, EOAH was able to prevent Fe+2- or Fe+2 plus H2O2-induced lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, the EOAH exerts anti-inflammatory activity that could be related to its antioxidant capacity.

Reading is a central leisure activity among older adults, serving as a means of entertainment, escape, connection, and/or education. COVID-19 public library closures drastically altered this activity. Based on interviews with 21 older adults across Ontario, Canada, this study explores how library closures in the province affected older adults' magazine leisure reading practices. Analysis yielded three themes: COVID-19 transforming experiences of library as place, COVID-19 as time of loss, and COVID-19 as catalyst for adaptation. Participants voiced the many ways COVID-19 has shaped (often restricting) their choices related to magazine reading (where, how, and what they read, and where they located their magazines). While libraries remained virtually open during the pandemic, many participants chose not to switch to digital platforms (despite their technical proficiency to do so). As a result, they often stopped reading magazines completely, despite the loss this stoppage represented. At the same time, pandemic restrictions compelled others to use the online library services they had previously avoided. Ultimately, participants' experiences of magazine reading during the COVID-19 pandemic further our understanding of reading as leisure in later life and also trouble prevailing assumptions that older adults' resistance to digital media engagement is merely a reflection of age-related incompetence.
