The article examines the impact of the new geopolitical and economic realities, in which Russia exists after 2020–2022, on the country’s publishing system. The comparative dynamics of book publishing indicators for the market as a whole and for its main segments in recent years is provided. The ratio of new editions and reprints, as well as books by domestic authors and translated literature is analyzed. The imbalance in the repertoire policy of Russian publishing houses in favor of foreign literary products is shown, and ways to overcome it are proposed.

For graphs H 1 and H 2 , the Ramsey number r (H 1 , H 2) is the smallest positive integer N such that any graph G on N vertices contains H 1 as a subgraph, or its complement contains H 2 as a subgraph. Let B n (k) denote the book graph on n + k vertices which consists of n copies of K k + 1 all sharing a common K k , and let H : = K p (a 1 , ⋯ , a p) be the complete p-partite graph with parts of sizes a 1 , ⋯ , a p . Recently, strengthening a result of Fox, He and Wigderson (Adv. Combin. 4 (2023), 21pp), Fan and Lin (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 199 (2023), 19pp) showed that for every k , p , t ≥ 2 , there exists δ > 0 such that the following holds for all large n. Let 1 ≤ a 1 ≤ ⋯ ≤ a p - 1 ≤ t and a p ≤ δ n be positive integers. If a 1 = 1 , then r (H , B n (k)) ≤ (p - 1) (n + k a 2 - 1) + 1 . The inequality is tight if n ≡ 1 (mod a 2) . In this paper, we improve the above upper bounds for the cases when n ≡ 2 (mod a 2) and n ≡ 3 (mod a 2) . Combining the new upper bounds and constructions of the lower bounds for these cases, we are able to determine the exact values of r (K p (a 1 , ⋯ , a p) , B n (k)) when p = 3 . The bound on 1 / δ we obtain is not of tower-type since our proof does not rely on the regularity lemma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research talks about an innovative graphic vision for designing book covers using contemporary artificial intelligence techniques in designing book covers. Where this approach helps to design book covers more attractive and distinctive, and can lead to increased sales of books on the one hand and save time and effort for the designer and publishing houses on the other hand. When using artificial intelligence techniques, designers can analyze the book market and the common interests of the target audience. They can also identify typical patterns in successful packaging design and modify the design based on this input. The use of artificial intelligence techniques helps to improve the design process in general and to support the successful possibility of marketing the book. In the end, it can be said that the use of artificial intelligence techniques in designing book covers represents a new path for the publishing and writing industry, as the covers become a direct expression of the culture and content of the book, making it more efficient and different. In this research, we will review the various methods used in designing book covers in line with global developments, and provide details on how to achieve the required transformations in line with the vision of the future in this field. We will review the positive impact that this field can create in terms of aesthetics and mission.

Negative transformations associated with the culture of reading in the 21st century are generally recognized. First of all, and not without reason, the reader of fi ction comes into the fi eld of vision of philologists and teachers. The goal of the article is to analyze the modern range of meanings of the concept “reader” against the backdrop of the established reader’s image in the collective (proverbial) folk memory. The author is interested in the problem of institutionalization of the Russian reader. The question to what extent the dynamic typology of the Russian reader of the fi rst third of the 19th century, proposed by V. G. Belinsky in his series of articles “The Works of Alexander Pushkin”, reveals the universality of its foundations and can help in understanding the processes occurring with the reader and the reading of fi ction at present, deserves close attention. In the history of the reader’s perception of the art of the word, there is a moving balance and conflict of stubbornly inertial and assertively proactive principles. Respected followers of established, habitual aesthetic values and supporters of new forms and new content in verbal art have become unfailing participants of social and artistic life. They are most often obediently heeded by the overwhelming majority of traditionalists and fashion followers. Nowadays, readers of different ages and different aesthetic backgrounds are actively exploring the network space with its huge hypertext and interactive capabilities. The semantic range of the concept “reader” is enriched with new meanings: a reader of fi ction – a regular user of the Internet; an active reader longing for critical and analytical self-realization; a reader trying to entrust his or her immediate impressions of what he or she has read to the public space; a reader who has taken up writing his or her own poetic and prose texts and is patiently awaiting responses to them. Runet, in its own way, brings back to life the collective notions of the “reading public” and “mass reader”, familiar for the past epochs.

The aim of the article is to analyse trends in the field of digital management of graphic archives in the context of the rapidly changing information environment, to consider issues of data security and accessibility. To raise the issue of popularising the study of the bookplate as an independent genre in the fine arts and as a historical document that attests to the era, events and people. The history of ex-libris goes back to ancient times, with the appearance of the text and its first owner. This history is multifaceted, diverse and touches on various aspects of the worldwide development of human culture. The development of bookplate collecting and the study of bookplates dates back to the Middle Ages, from which time we can trace the history of the transformation of the bookplate from a bookmark with a protective function to an independent art object and collector’s item. This paper examines several modern methods of organising and preserving an ex-libris collection, providing an overview of the key technologies involved in these processes, drawing on contemporary and historical research. The research results are primarily intended for use in the collections of the Pushkin Museum in Chișinău and are based on the largest ex-libris collection in the country, which includes over 15,000 items. The collection needs to be described, systematised and assigned in order to prepare it for further research and exhibitions.

The book “Bosniaks Facing the Challenges of Global Political Processes: The Political Maturation of a Nation” provides a synthetic overview of the development of Bosniaks as a nation amidst various historical and societal challenges.

De humani corporis fabrica libri septem is a book written by the Flemish Renaissance physician and anatomist Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), who was a professor of anatomy at the University of Padua and physician to the court of Emperor Charles V. It is in this book that for the very first time in detail, a learned academic lesson on the anatomy of the human body can be observed, in a compendium of seven books, based on direct dissections of the corpse, created and documented by a young professor (Vesalius at the age of 28) for his Medicine students. This work was printed in ciceronian latin and published in Basel in 1543 in the workshop of the humanist, linguist, and printer Johannes Oporinus (1507-1568), and illustrated by artists from the Titian workshop such as Jan Stephan van Calcar (1499-1546). Nowadays considered a literary, scientific and artistic jewel, Vesalius'fabrica of 1543 was a milestone in the history of medicine and is considered the foundation work of modern anatomy atlases, and basis for the teaching method of the discipline in medical careers worldwide. This original Mexican volume, is now considered part of UNESCO World Heritage and is the first book of its kind in America since the 16th century. It is part of the old and rare book collection of the Palafoxiana Library in the city of Puebla in Mexico. In this article, its characteristics are described and for the first time, documented in detail from its original source. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study provides information about the books in the tereke estates of members of the Ottoman period in the city of Bitola is provided, and the books are classified according to their subjects and informative qualities for Ottoman society. Books in the inheritance records of the period analyzed are mostly concentrated in the field of religious sciences. After religious sciences, literary-moral texts, books produced in many branches of science, such as grammar, logic, medicine, botany, astronomy, history, education, training, and general-purpose encyclopedic works and dictionaries, were found in the inheritance records. As the primary source of the research, the tereke records of the members of the ilmiye which are scattered in twenty-nine shar’iyye registry books between 1607-1697 in the Manastir court were evaluated. This study uses a qualitative research method purpose and scope of the study. Documentary scanning and historical methods were used as data collection techniques, and document analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. The results showed that most of the books read in the place and period examined consisted of textbooks in madrasas and texts that were generally popular in Ottoman society. The books reflected in the inheritance records belong to various disciplines according to their subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given two graphs G and H, the Ramsey number R(G,H) is the minimum integer N such that any two-coloring of the edges of KN in red or blue yields a red G or a blue H. Let v(G) be the number of vertices of G and χ(G) be the chromatic number of G. Let s(G) denote the chromatic surplus of G, the number of vertices in a minimum color class among all proper χ(G)-colorings of G. Burr showed that R (G , H) ≥ (v (G) − 1) (χ (H) − 1) + s (H) if G is connected and v (G) ≥ s (H) . A connected graph G is H-good if R (G , H) = (v (G) − 1) (χ (H) − 1) + s (H) . Let tH denote the disjoint union of t copies of graph H, and let G ∨ H denote the join of G and H. Denote a complete graph on n vertices by Kn, and a tree on n vertices by Tn. Denote a book with n pages by Bn, i.e., the join K 2 ∨ K n ¯ . Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that Tn is Bm-good if n ≥ 3 m − 3 . In this paper, we obtain the exact Ramsey number of Tn versus 2B2- Our result implies that Tn is 2B2-good if n ≥ 5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, with the aim of examining and explaining the Qur'an, universe and human together and revealing the method of interpreting these three truths, Çankırı Karatekin University Faculty of Islamic Sciences, Department of Tafsir, Dr. Lecturer. The book of the PhD study that was completed and defended by Dr. Yahya Arslan in 2022 and then was published in 2023 under the title "Qur'an-Unıverse-Human The Methodology of Understanding and Interpreting the Three Books" will be evaluated. The main reason why this study was chosen for criticism is that the book has a face that is very much oriented towards current issues in terms of its topics. In fact, as far as I have researched before we start to evaluate this book, there is no study on this issue evaluates the Qur'an, the universe and the human being together and deals with the relationship between these three truths in detail. The book consists of four chapters in total, including an introduction. In the introduction part, the subject and the importance of the research, its scope and sources are stated, and then the concepts of the Qur'an, the universe and the human being and the relationship between these concepts are explained in general terms. The first part of the book is titled "The Book of the Cosmos" and the second part is called "The Book of Man". In these two chapters, the universe and human beings are analyzed in the light of the Qur'anic narrative and the interpretations of the commentators through their characteristics and some events that took place in them. In the conclusion, after a general evaluation, the necessity of reading, understanding and interpreting the three books together is pointed out with the data and suggestions obtained. It is concluded that it is possible to understand and interpret the Qur'an, the universe and the human books together. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of “book culture”, which entered the domestic book-study discourse in the 1980s, is currently one of the central ones for both historical-book and theoretical-book studies. However, it has not yet received a conventional definition in Russian science. The purpose of the article is to formulate a definition of book culture based on the interpretative theory of culture and theoretical and methodological achievements of medialogy dominating in modern socio-humanitarian knowledge. The authors show the general theoretical context of the formation of the concept of “book culture”. The necessity of a pragmatic turn in theoretical book studies is substantiated. The possibilities of theoretical models of the media researcher G.M. McLuhan and the historian of the printed book R. Darnton for the interpretation of the concept of “book culture” are revealed. The author offers his own definition of book culture as a space of communication between various social actors, mediated by materialized texts broadcasting socially significant information.

The article examines the presence of Dostoevsky’s books in the plot of the novels by Nathanael West, John Irving, and Philip Roth, in order to show how Dostoevsky was perceived by American writers and determined the specifics of the poetics and the transformation of constant motifs and images in modern American literature. It is proved that the use of Dostoevsky’s books as a stable motif introduces into these works an obligatory element of literary polemics for both the hero and the author. The main technique used by writers (parodying themes and images of Dostoevsky’s works) becomes the main way to rethink the existing tradition of perceiving the work of the Russian novelist.

Acquainting children with animals is a fundamental aspect of early childhood education. Children will learn animal characters, sounds and the type of food these animals eat. To support the learning process and develop understanding of this topic, a storytelling book was compiled about several characteristics of animals organized alphabetically by the animals' first names. The book being developed is also integrated with augmented reality, so that children can explore three-dimensional animal illustrations accompanied by the unique sounds of each animal they observe. The use of innovative technology-based learning media aims to ensure that the learning process also keeps pace with current developments. Additionally, the goal is to cultivate students' curiosity and enthusiasm for the topics being explored. The use of this learning media requires the assistance of parents or teachers. The development process involves stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research findings indicate students' interest in studying the characteristics of animals, as the learning books can present animal shapes in three dimensions accompanied by their corresponding sounds.

In the XIXth century, colporteurs had a great share in the intellectual and spiritual evolution of Ottoman Protestants. This was a priority task for the educational organization of the missionaries. Especially, the works published in the Istanbul American Bible House transported to cities and villages in Anatolia through colporteurs promoting the publication of books from chemistry to mathematics, natural philosophy to ethics were indicators of Protestant missionary work improvement. While the distribution of the Torah or Bible did not cause issues for the state, works highlighting sectarian differences were considered objectionable. The study emphasizes transformative effects of translation, book sales and distribution on Anatolian Christians between 1850 and 1900, which have a significance in terms of missionary work, beside comparing the policy of Protestant missionaries with the reform efforts of the Ottoman Empire. The memoirs and reports of the missionaries, "Missionary Herald" bulletins, and the correspondence between the center and local administrations in the Ottoman Archives provide rich data for understanding the process.

The paper has analyzed main post-printing operations of book processing. A set of criteria indirectly influencing the qual)ity of post-press process execution is considered : manufacturing of booklets (including collation of printed sheets, trimming, folding, addition of supplementary elements), binding (options such as unstitched adhesive binding, sewing- adhesive bind)ing, thread sewing, wire stitching), assembly (inserting for small-volume publications, assembly for publications exceeding 80 pages), cover materials (including four types of covers and five types of bindings), treatment of book blocks (ensuring the appropriate block format, enhancing strength, durability, and attractiveness to readers through a series of operations, the combination of which depends on the characteristics of book block binding), embellishment (providing additional decorative elements to the book through embossing, varnishing, bronzing, die-cutting, etc.), final processing (including finishing operations such as pressing the book production, applying dust jackets, packaging), and project management (formulating a clear plan for post-press process execution). The description and demonstration of the connections between factors influencing the quality of post-press processes are provided. A pairwise comparison matrix of factors using the Saaty scale of relative importance of objects is formed. For convenience, the pairwise comparison matrix is presented in tabular form. We determine and normalize the principal eigenvector of the pairwise comparison matrix. The components of the normalized vector of the matrix correspond to the weighted values of the factors of the investigated technological process. To verify the consistency of the results and the adequacy of the solution, we calculate the maximum eigenvalue of the pairwise comparison matrix, the consistency index, and the consistency ratio. Model of priority impact of factors on the quality of post-press processes execution, where the highest priority belongs to the "project" factor, i.e., the factor with the highest weighted value has been developed.

Islamic history has never known such confusion about the establishment of a state and its functioning as the state of the Banu Ubaid, or the so-called Fatimid state. One of the first to write about the Ubaid state was the judge, historian, jurist, and writer Ibn Hammad al-Sanhaji al-Maghribi (d. about 628 AH/1230 AD). His book, called (The News of the Kings of Banu Ubaid and Their Biography), remained in manuscript form for several centuries, and it did not see the light and be circulated by people until less than forty-five years ago after it was completed and published. The aim of conducting this study can be summed up in two things: first: introducing the book of Ibn Hammad, especially since many academic researchers and those interested in history have not heard of it, or heard of it but did not have the opportunity to read it, and second: enlightening the reader and making him aware of what the book contains - along with unfortunately, there are many historical errors and a clear lack of information. In the same approach as Ibn Hammad in his classification of the book according to the fourteen kings of Banu Ubaid, the researcher will follow the author's trace in this study, which will enable him to clarify the inaccuracies and gaps surrounding the translation of each of them. The study concluded that the book - despite its historical status - does not contain anything that satisfies the poor or cures the sick from the news of the Banu Ubaid. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the sources - written and oral - that the author relied on were not sufficient at all to monitor news of their kings. Although the author did not express his position towards the Ubaid state in clear terms, this does not prevent us from saying that he had some inclination toward it. You will find him confirming their lineage to the House of Prophethood without evidence. Moreover, he does not mention any of the faults and ugliness of its kings, and he slanders its opponents. The research adopted the analytical method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined the most influential peer-reviewed journal articles and books in tennis medicine and science based on citations (C). Systematic searches were performed to extract authors, titles, year, journal, C, and research focus for the top cited publications indexed in Google Scholar (GS). The top 100 articles had high numbers of citations (85 to 1,164) and citation rates (3 to 41 C/year) that were similar between tennis medicine and science, with fewer citations to tennis books. The influence of tennis research has increased over the last decade, with citations and citation rates were higher than was previously reported (Knudson, 2012). The study confirmed important research topics and journal outlets and identified influential authors. Influential tennis research continues to focus on injuries, physiological and psychological factors, with recent increases in analytics and business aspects of the sport. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to investigate the active tasks incorporated in Arabic language books for primary school students in Jordan. The focus was on the content, questions, and tasks within the books. A rubric consisting of 34 tasks and applications was used for data collection By utilizing a descriptive analytical approach, content analysis was executed using sentences and paragraphs as units of analysis. The results demonstrate that Arabic language books for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students contain 28 linguistic tasks and questions. Of these, 14 tasks are found within the paragraphs of the text, with a concentration rate of less than 1%. Meanwhile, 18 tasks are located within the questions, with a concentration rate of less than 3%. Conversation, dialogue, and description were identified as the most common types of tasks. It was also observed that there is a similarity between the paragraphs of the text and its questions concerning the total number of repetitions. The findings of this study bear significant implications for enhancing the development of active tasks in classrooms. They provide valuable insights for educational decision-makers about the quality of tasks within Arabic language books for primary students. Moreover, they pave the way for improving student skills in critical reading, creative writing, dialogue communication, reading, and drawing by promoting interactive teaching strategies that cater to the developmental needs of students. As a result, the study proposes several recommendations for enhancing these active tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of self-help psychotherapy books based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches on anxiety and depressive symptoms, with those of a placebo psychology book and a control group receiving only antidepressant treatment. Method: The current study was conducted with 110 patients admitted to the psychiatric outpatient clinic, diagnosed with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. The study utilized a book each from CBT, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a placebo book. Participants' depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and their anxiety symptoms with the Beck Anxiety Inventory, both before and after the intervention. Results: The median age of participants was 34.71±10.40, and 80% were female. The difference in BDI decrease between books was found to be statistically significant as a result of a mixed design Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Although the difference in depression scores between the books was not statistically significant according to time in post hoc analyses, when all groups with the books were considered, the difference in depression scores was statistically significant compared to the decrease seen in the group that received only antidepressant treatment, according to the planned contrast analysis. When the analysis was repeated, excluding the group receiving antidepressant treatment, similar results were found in the placebo book group. Conclusion: When compared to the placebo book group and the usual treatment group, self-help books written within the framework of CBT approaches are significantly effective in reducing depressive scores in patients diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. Further research is needed to observe the long-term effects of these books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is devoted to one of the largest handwritten collection of Siberian manuscripts belonging to Archbishop Neil (Isakovich) of Irkutsk, Nerchinsk and Yakutsk (30–50s XIX century). The purpose of the work is to examine the history of its study in the context of the development of source science and the formation of archaeography in Russia during this period, the characteristics of the collection and the disclosure of source and historiographical the meanings of the collected documents and manuscripts. The collection of Archbishop Neil is kept in the book and archive archives of the city of Yaroslavl – the State Archive of the Yaroslavl Region (GAYAO) and the Yaroslavl Historical, Architectural and Art MuseumReserve (YAMZ). The stages of studying the collection by representatives of the cultural and scientific community of Russia are highlighted. The works of pre-revolutionary and Soviet scribes of Siberia depict the process of formation of the collection, the ways the archbishop works with documents and manuscripts, mentioned the areas of interest of the collector and the most interesting manuscripts of his collection. In the middle of the XX century, the famous Yaroslavl archeographer V. V. Lukyanov carried out a scientific description of the meeting of Archbishop Nile. It was included in the descriptions of the collections of the archives where it is currently located, and published. Finally, in 2019, Yaroslavl archivists, on the initiative of Irkutsk archeographers T. A. Kryuchkova and S. V. Melnikova, digitized part of the manuscript collection of Archbishop Nile stored in the GAYAO, which made it possible to present the manuscript collection of the archbishop to the scientific community of Siberia and not only Siberia. Electronic edition of the ”Treasures of the Archive of Archbishop Neil (N. F. Isakovich)”, supplemented by ”An overview of the documents of the personal collection of Archbishop Neil (N. F. Isakovich) from the State Archive of the Yaroslavl region”, testifies to the source value of the collection and individual striking monuments, allows you to clarify the composition of the manuscripts distributed in the region.

The book, as one of the oldest forms of the written word, is at a turning point that is likely to play a major role in the further development of humanity. We are witnessing the transition of the book into an immaterial form and the transformation of the book. However, centuries and centuries have passed in which the book developed and evolved, so that today its physical and material form has slowly turned into an intangible one. The paper shows the development and evolution of the book from its origin to its metamorphosis into a completely different dimension.

Abstract Objectives: To describe and compare the references cited in popular books about diet and health between the USA and Japan. Design: Books were selected based on their best-seller rankings in the diet and health category of online bookstores. We identified references throughout all pages of the books and examined the number of references, reference format (identifiable or not) and presence of specific types of references, such as systematic reviews of human research. We compared the characteristics of references between the two countries and examined related factors to citation. Setting: Cross-sectional study. Participants: Books (n 100 in each country). Results: Among 100 books from each country, sixty-five US and sixty-six Japanese books had references. Forty-five US books cited more than 100 references, against only five Japanese books. The number of books that cited systematic reviews of human research differed between the USA (n 49) and Japan (n 9). Additionally, the number of books that provided identifiable information for all references was significantly higher in the USA (n 63) than in Japan (n 42). Books whose first authors have licences of medical doctors were more likely to cite references than those without in both countries. Conclusions: Two-thirds of books about diet and health cited references in both the USA and Japan, but Japanese books cited fewer references and were less likely to cite systematic reviews and provide identifiable references than US books. Further research into the scientific reliability of information in books about diet and health is warranted.

Dans la longue cohorte des objets houellebecquiens, le livre occupe une place tout à fait singulière. Presque aucun roman où il n'apparaisse pas (quasiment tous les personnages principaux chez Houellebecq sont d'assidus lecteurs); et son importance, au fur et à mesure que l'œuvre progresse, semble toujours croissante. Cet article analyse les différentes références à l'objet livre dans l'œuvre de Michel Houellebecq, en faisant l'hypothèse que ses modes d'apparition sont significatifs de la manière dont l'auteur conçoit à la fois la littérature et la relation au lecteur.

This essay takes readers on something of a journey. It opens by showing how, when it comes to the creative arts in the UK, it is upper- and middle-class, privately educated, Oxbridge graduates who receive the bulk of the available financial support. It proceeds by arguing that their shared experience of private school and Oxbridge is a major reason so much of culture in England, and the university within it, is rather safe, homogenous and anti-intellectual, not to mention white, male and liberal humanist. At the same time, it maintains that it is not enough to change who is contributing to culture and the production of knowledge, and what they are being conditioned to write and publish about; what's also needed is a change in how they are doing so. It ends by indicating some of the ways in which we can use new media and radical open access publishing to reinvent our (Euro-Western, modernist, middle-class, white, male) liberal humanist modes of being as writers and researchers.

Subtitled Library for Radioactive Afterlife, Susanne Kriemann's books P(ech) B(lende) (2016) and Ge(ssenwiese) K(anigsberg) (2020) are dedicated to the invisibility and after-effects of radioactivity. Produced by several authors, these books-as-library bring together multiple textual genres and forms of representation to explore the "radioactive afterlife", which not only indicates the horizon of survival after a nuclear catastrophe, but also the survival of images, given the impossibility of representing an invisible, immeasurable phenomenon.

Diyarbakir has hosted many civilizations throughout history. For this reason, scientific and cultural life has been diverse. This situation can be understood from the books owned by the people living in the city and their relationships with them. In the study, first of all, the inheritances in the Diyarbakır Şer'iyye Registry books from the 18th century were used. In this context, 3,607 provisions in 22 notebooks were scanned. In 138 of these provisions, 261 different works were recorded 945 times. In addition, 13 of the Şer'iyye registers examined are mixed subjects and 9 are inheritance, and these registers contain 1,286 provisions. In addition, copyrighted works were also used. In the light of the data obtained, the books owned by people of the period were determined. These books were then classified according to their subjects. By examining the books and their owners in the Şer'iyye registers, the books containing the books, the people who own the books, the number of books these people own, the distribution of books according to subjects, the books on which subjects are read more, the financial situation, status and religious affiliation of the book owners. Issues such as prices of books and their distribution in neighborhoods have been tried to be clarified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents an analysis of Natália Barros’ book, titled Ensaios do corpo no lugar de morar (2021). The book deals with a theoretical, practical, and collaborative research within the realms of architecture, dance, scenography, performance design, and digital tools. Numerous artists from across the globe have come together, catalysing performative experiments that challenge conventional notions of dwelling. The aim of this article is to provoke reflections on the bodily experience within the home amid the global backdrop of the pandemic, based on a digital performative experiment that appears to blend an expanded conception of scenography with certain elements of domestic life.

Defect is a hidden defect that affects the soundness of a hadith that is considered perfect. The basis of the hadiths about the defect, which is relatively difficult to detect, has been hadith memorization, understanding and knowledge. On the other hand, it is also known that hadith scholars act on certain presumptions in the determination of defect. The absence of hadith in the book of Muhaddis is one of these presumptions. By using this presumption, the muhaddis have concluded that some hadiths are maladies. Hadith critics refer to their books when they have doubts about a narrator or want to determine that he did not feed his mistake. With this method, they try to determine whether the error is due to the narrator's book or memorization. Again, with the help of this method, they also have the opportunity to test the extent to which the narrator learned the narrations of his teacher. Yahyā b. Maīn is one of the scholars who criticize the main hadith on the grounds that it is not found in the book of the hadith. Darāwardī→Alī b. Abdirrahmān's father, Abdurrahmān b. Yakūb→Hz. Prophet's style he criticized a hadith transmitted by the stating that this hadith is included in Derawardi's book and that it is weak in the narrations he made from his memory. Ibn Abī Hātim also gave his father Hajjaj b. Sulaymān al-Kumrī→Lays b. Saʿd→Muhammad b. Aclān→Kaʿkaʿ b. Hakīm→Abu Sālih al-Sammān→Abu Huraira asked about a hadith transmitted through, and Abu Hātim criticized the hadith with the words "This hadith is not found in anyone other than Hajjaj and is not in Lays's book" and used the relevant presumption. A striking example, which Abu Hātim found illegitimate on the grounds that the hadith is not included in the book of the muhaddith, is Muhammad b. Abdillāh b. Mubārek al-Muharrimī→Waqī b. Carrāh→Ismāīl b. Abī Hālid→Kays b. Abī Hāzim→Abu Huraira and Abu Saīd b. Yahyā b. Abī Saīd→Abu Usāma→Ismāīl Abī Khalid→Kays b. Abī Hāzim→Abu Huraira was transferred with the orders of. Abu Hātim reported that this hadith was written by Bundār Muhammad b. Başşār, Yahyā b. Saīd→Ismāīl b. Abī Khalid in the book in which he wrote the hadiths he received with the order of, Yaʿlâ b. Ubayd of İsmāīl b. Abī Khalid he pointed to the malady in the hadith, saying that there were hadiths that he narrated with the order of and that they were not included in his book. What makes this example striking is that it was narrated by Bukhari. Bukhari has narrated this hadith four times in his Sahīh. Ibn Ammār al-Shahīd al-Harawī and Dārakutnī, who are known for their criticism of Muslim's Sahīh, are among the critics who criticize the hadith based on the presumption that the hadith is not included in the book of the hadith. Critics sometimes felt the need to refer to the book at the point of determining a hadith that they doubted. For example, Abdurrazzāk→Maʿmar→Zuhrī→Ubaydullāh b. Abdullāh b. Utba→Ibn Abbās→Hz. The Prophet hadith transmitted by the is related to Hishām al-Dastavāī→Abān alAttār→Abdurrahmān b. Ishāk→Zuhrī→Hz. Prophet it was asked that it was transferred as a mursal in the form of the. Both of them narrated this hadith from Ibn Jurayrc to Abdullāh b. Abī Labīd→Zuhrī→Ubaydullāh b. Saīd→Ibn Abbās that he conveyed it with the order, in confirming these words, he said that Sufyān al-Sawrī was familiar with Ibn Jurayc's book and that this hadith was transmitted to Abdullah b. Abī Labīd→Zuhrī→Ubaydullāh b. Saīd→Abdullāh Ibn Abbās narrated that he took place in the form of. In this case, the research of the hadith within the framework of the book of the hadith has emerged as both a presumption of the cause of the hadith and a method for its proof and confirmation.

Objectives: To describe and compare the references cited in popular books about diet and health between the USA and Japan. Design: Books were selected based on their best-seller rankings in the diet and health category of online bookstores. We identified references throughout all pages of the books and examined the number of references, reference format (identifiable or not) and presence of specific types of references, such as systematic reviews of human research. We compared the characteristics of references between the two countries and examined related factors to citation. Setting: Cross-sectional study. Participants: Books (n 100 in each country). Results: Among 100 books from each country, sixty-five US and sixty-six Japanese books had references. Forty-five US books cited more than 100 references, against only five Japanese books. The number of books that cited systematic reviews of human research differed between the USA (n 49) and Japan (n 9). Additionally, the number of books that provided identifiable information for all references was significantly higher in the USA (n 63) than in Japan (n 42). Books whose first authors have licences of medical doctors were more likely to cite references than those without in both countries. Conclusions: Two-thirds of books about diet and health cited references in both the USA and Japan, but Japanese books cited fewer references and were less likely to cite systematic reviews and provide identifiable references than US books. Further research into the scientific reliability of information in books about diet and health is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study focused on mobile phone Apps usage among rice farmers in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area (LGA),Ogun State. Specifically, it determined; frequency of usage of phone Apps; agricultural purposes for which mobile phones Apps were used; benefits of using mobile phone Apps; and constraints to use of mobile phone Apps among rice farmers in the study area. Population for the study comprised of all rice farmers in Obafemi Owode LGA, Ogun State. Random technique was used to select 120 respondents. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage and mean. Findings reveal eight Apps being used by farmers, including phone book (x =2.85), radio (x =2.64), calculator (x =2.55), SMS (x =2.52) were highly utilized while calendar (x =2.30), WhatsApp (x =1.57), Facebook (x =1.33) and Twitter (x =0.54) were poorly utilized mobile phone Apps by rice farmers in the study area. Other findings are nine purposes for using phone Apps. These are for calculation of expenses on input e.g. fertilizer, rice seed (94.2%), access market information (90.8%), for purchase of fertilizer (86.7%), listening to radio programs related to rice farming (82.5%) were the leading agricultural purposes of using phone Apps. Also nine benefits from use of Apps were identified. These include; utilization of mobile phone Apps has improved rice production (98.3%), helped them to determine amount of profit and loss on rice sales (97.5%), helped to access extension information on rice production (95.8%). Seven constraints were identified. These include; high tariff deduction from telecommunication companies (68.3%), and unstable power supply (61.7%) among others. It is recommended that rice farmers associations should help members to procure solar facilities to power their mobile phone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
