The utmost intention of this work is to identify various field areas which are most prevalent in library and information science education. The study also denotes the rate of tendency on the rapid growth and development of research production among information specialists in Bangladesh. In order to carry out the study, an extensive literature review was carefully done to collect the basic elements of research patterns. It is noted that in the period of 1980-2016, 200 articles were published in library and information science by Bangladeshi researchers in 62 journals. In this article a total of 200 articles were reviewed. The result of the present study shows that the ratio of female authors had fewer contributions than male authors did. The majority of articles were published from the United Kingdom. The study also shows that the largest numbers of articles (19 papers, 9.50%) were published in the Social Science Journal of the University of Rajshahi from Bangladesh. The paper also shows that about 71.50% of papers have been cited while 28.50% of papers did not receive any citation. The present research might be helpful for revealing the country's research trends in library and information science. However, this study may also inspire development of a subject-based indigenous database and can act as an important device for research scholars.

이 연구는 인도네시아의 도서관 생성과정과 현황을 역사적인 고찰을 통해서 살펴보았다. 350여년의 서구와 일본의 식민통치 기간 동안 도서관은 정보를 통제하는 역할을 하였고, 독립 후에 국민의 문해 진흥을 위한 노력 중 하나로 도서관을 설립하였지만, 아직도 체계적으로 자리 잡고 있지 못한 상황이다. 그 대안적인 활동으로 자생적으로 생겨난 지역별 커뮤니티 도서관이 개인 및 민간단체 차원에서 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 현재 인도네시아 사회에서 도서관이 시민사회에서 평생교육 및 문화의 통로가 될 수 있는 실질적인 방안에 대한 논의가 시급한 실정임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있도록 인도네시아 도서관의 공공성 증진을 위한 정책적 제안을 제시하였다.

서양사회는 중세를 '암흑시대'로 폄하해 왔다. 그러나 중세 천년을 주도한 이슬람이 종이와 제지술, 아랍 번역본을 서양에 전파하지 않았다면 희랍 라틴어 번역과 전수, 구텐베르크 인쇄술, 종교개혁, 르네상스는 태동할 수 없었다. 그들은 고대 지식문명 파괴자가 아니라 복원과 부활의 주역이었다. 그 거점이 무슬림 공동체로 회자되는 모스크와 이슬람 도서관(지혜의 집)이다. 이에 본 연구는 중세 이슬람 왕조의 성립과 아라비아 반도, 아프리카, 이베리아 반도를 지배하는 과정에서 등장한 이슬람 도서관을 추적했다. 이를 위하여 왕실이 주도한 칼리프 도서관, 모스크에 병설된 공공도서관, 재상과 학자 등이 설립한 개인도서관으로 대별한 후 중세 이슬람 도시인 다마스쿠스, 메카, 바그다드, 알레포, 코르도바, 카이로, 페스, 튀니스 등의 주요 도서관 흔적을 중심으로 역사와 발전, 역할과 기능, 인류문명에 미친 영향과 중요성, 침체와 쇠퇴 등을 분석했다.

Knowledge Management (KM) has become a fundamental process for all types of institutions in society. Academic libraries are also an integral part of the knowledge system, these institutions being one of the forms that contribute to knowledge development. This study aims to find out the challenges and opportunities associated with KM practices in Dhaka University Library (DUL). The specific objectives were to ascertain the understanding of KM concepts among library professionals of DUL, to explore an overview of KM and its role, and to identify the rationale behind not practicing KM properly at DUL. Appropriate methods were employed. The findings indicate that limited expertise and lack of clear guidelines are the major challenges for the implementation of KM in DUL.

The purpose of the study is to identify the perception of the Library and Information Science (LIS) specialists about the use of mobile phones in retrieving information. It investigates the present status of the LIS specialists regarding mobile phone usage, perceptions regarding the use of mobile phones in retrieving information from libraries and points out the possible drawbacks and their solutions for embracing mobile phones in retrieving information from libraries and providing some suggestions. The methodology includes a quantitative approach. The authors used a survey method using a structured questionnaire to measure the perception of LIS specialists regarding the use of mobile phones in retrieving information from libraries. The findings confirmed that the majority (72%) of LIS specialists have the experience of using mobile phones for more than 10 years. Findings also indicate that the LIS specialists have agreed with the statements of advantages of using mobile phones. This paper concludes that the respondents also agreed regarding the possible advantages of introducing mobile phones in retrieving information from libraries. The paper explores the original perceptions of LIS specialists regarding the use of mobile phones in retrieving information from libraries.

Scholarly communication plays a significant role in the development and dissemination of research outputs in library and information science (LIS). This study presents findings from a survey which examines the key attributes that characterize the publishing by Pakistani LIS scholars, i.e. academics and professionals, in national journals. A pilot-tested, electronic questionnaire was used to collect the data from the target population. 104 respondents (or 69.3% of target) provided feedback on areas such as number of articles published, number of citations, and the nature of any collaboration with other authors. The findings of this survey revealed that, among the various designated regions of Pakistan, the Punjab region was the most highly represented. In articles published in national journals, there was a clear preference among all respondents to collaborate with at least one other author. The citation metrics for LIS articles in national journals were relatively low (30.22%), which aligns with Scimago’s Journal and Country Rankings. The uptake of social scholarly networks mirrors international trends. Respondents were asked to score factors which could impact negatively on their ability to undertake research and/or publish the results. The study recommends that concerned stakeholders work together, as appropriate, to address concerns. In addition, it recommends that further research be undertaken to define patterns of Pakistani co-authorship in the social sciences.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the perception of informational professionals' knowledge sharing practices in social media platforms. The specific objectives of the study included learning professionals' perceptions and awareness of knowledge sharing using social media, understanding their opinions and beliefs, and gaining familiarity with and reasons for using these tools. Open & close ended web-based questions were sent out by email to the international training program (ITP) participants. Findings indicated that most of the respondents' were aware of using social media and that they used social media for knowledge sharing. Speed and ease of use, managing personal knowledge, easier communication with users and colleagues and powerful communication tool are the areas that motivated them to use it. It also stated some barriers like lack of support, familiarity, trust, unfiltered information and fear of providing information. The study was limited to the perceptual aspect of the issue, specifically from the individuals' opinions and sentiments.

This article presents clean core criticality calculations and control rod worth calculations for TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope production-General Atomics) Mark II research reactor benchmark cores using Winfrith Improved Multi-group Scheme-D/4 (WIMS-D/4) and Program for Reactor In-core Analysis using Diffusion Equation (PRIDE) codes. Cores 133 and 134 were analyzed in 2-D (r, ${\theta}$) and 3-D (r, ${\theta}$, z), using WIMS-D/4 and PRIDE codes. Moreover, the influence of cross-section data was also studied using various libraries based on Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF/B-VI.8 and VII.0), Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion File (JEFF-3.1), Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (JENDL-3.2), and Joint Evaluated File (JEF-2.2) nuclear data. The simulation results showed that the multiplication factor calculated for all these data libraries is within 1% of the experimental results. The reactivity worth of the control rods of core 134 was also calculated with different homogenization approaches. A comparison was made with experimental and reported Monte Carlo results, and it was found that, using proper homogenization of absorber regions and surrounding fuel regions, the results obtained with PRIDE code are significantly improved.

한우의 반추위에서 게놈 DNA를 분리하여 메타게놈 은행을 구축한 다음 carboxylesterase를 암호화하는 유전자를 클로닝 및 유전자를 선별하였다. 선별된 유전자의 DNA 염기서열 및 아미노산 서열을 분석하고 유전산물의 생화학적인 특성을 조사하였다. est1R 유전자는 2,465 bp로 366개의 아미노산 잔기를 가진 단백질을 암호화하였으며 이 단백질의 이론적인 분자량은 61,166 Da이었다. Est1R단백질은 PNB carboxylesterase (P37967), acetylcholinesterase (1EEAA) 및 chain A (1H23A)와 각각 5.9%, 6.1%, 6.1% 상동성을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 검색 결과 기존의 알려진 lipase 및esterase와의 상동성이 낮은 것으로 보아 새로운 그룹의 효소로 추정된다. Est1R효소의 최적 pH는 7.0 근방이었으며 최적 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$ 부근이었다. 한편 10% 유기용매를 함유한 기질의 효소활성측정에서 대조구에 비해 methanol은 95%의 상대적인 활성을 가진 반면에 hexane 용액에서는 그 활성이 반으로 감소하였다. 따라서 유기용매 농도의 작용성에 따라 이 효소의 산업적 이용성도 가능하리라 추정된다.
