| 1 | Effect of Using A Modified Warming System on Activities and Productivity of Honey Bees by El-Sheikh F. M. , Asmaa A. Eissa and M. A. Al-Rajhi | This study was conducted in a private apiary at El-Baramon, EL-Daqahliyah governorate, Egypt during the 2019-2020 winter seasons. Hives from the Langstroth type containing equal strength of honeybee colonies from the species of hybrid Carniolan were used. The research aims to increase the honeybee colonies' activities and maintain the strength and quality production by mounting a simple warming system into the hive. This study included primary studies on three methods of warming (pushing hot air, using thermal coil, and using halogen lamp) to determine the best method adapted with bee colonies. The in-hive temperature was adjusted to a minimum of 21 ºC through a heat sensor. The secondary studies were conducted to study the effect of the best warming system on bee colonies' temperature, strength (sealed brood area and a number of occupied frames), and productivity (honey and pollen areas). Results showed that the system containing halogen lamps was the best method adapted with bee colonies. The minimum and maximum ambient temperatures were at 3.00 am and at 2.00 pm, respectively. The average temperatures outside and inside the nest were (19.17, 20.15, and 21.6 ºC) and (36.63, 36.76, and 36.65 ºC) for unwintering (control), normal wintering, and with warming system, respectively. The mean values of (honey, pollen, and sealed brood areas, cm2); and a number of occupied frames on the end of March were (745,606 and1958 cm2); and 5 frames for unwintered hives (control) and (1043, 914, and 3456cm2); and 14 frames for halogen warming system, respectively. The total cost of the fabricated warming system was about 21.9 LE/season. Significant increase in hive products; (honey, pollen, and sealed brood areas); and a number of occupied frames were detected when using a halogen warming system comparing with unwintered and normal wintered groups. While the productivity was increased by about 19.51% and 30.38% respectively for honey and pollen areas compared with the normal warming system. | 15-May-2021 | 09-June-2021/ 25-June-2021 |

| 2 | Foreign Direct Investment, Tourism, Industry and Economic growth in selected MENA countries: A Panel Data Causality Test by Manal Elhaj & Jihen Bousrih | This paper investigates the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), tourism, industry, and economic growth as factors of economic diversification. The research focuses on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Tourism, and Industry on economic growth for some selected MENA countries using a panel data causality test. The results of Granger long-run causality tests based on the vector error correction model (VECM) confirming that (i) foreign direct investment, industry, tourism, trade openness, and employment are jointly granger cause PGDP in the long run. (ii) PGDP, foreign direct investment, tourism, trade openness, and employment are jointly granger cause industry in the long run. (iii) PGDP, foreign direct investment, industry, trade openness, and employment are jointly granger cause tourism in the long run. The highest speed of adjustment to a long-run equilibrium of 6% appearing when tourism is a dependent variable. The results of Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality tests showed a bidirectional causality running between economic growth and FDI, Moreover, a unidirectional causal relationship running from economic growth to industry, from tourism to economic growth, and from tourism to FDI. These results support the tourism-led growth hypothesis and FDI-led growth hypothesis. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of the role played by the selected MENA countries in putting more attention to develop the tourism industry which will lead to rapid and sustainable endogenous economic growth. | 19-May-2021 | 29-June-2021/ 30-June-2021 |

| 3 | Digital Library: Need in Higher Education and Its Challenges by Roopa Gokhale Shahade | An electronic collection of
documents that is available online or on CD-ROM discs is
known as a "digital library." A user may be able to access
magazine articles, books, papers, photos, music files, and
videos, depending on the particular library. Digital
libraries are a resource for making educational and research
data and information available, for academics, researchers,
students, and others at the institutions as well as globally. With the help of digital libraries, it is possible to provide readers with easy access to and retrieval of useful information. The use of well-designed digital libraries is gradually advantageous to readers. Using a digital library in education can aid in swiftly and dynamically obtaining information. The higher education sector transformed into a global "knowledge and learning" industry because of the involvement of digital libraries in education. For the advantage of students and interested readers, instructors can publish educational materials in the digital library. Alternative instructional pedagogies can also be uploaded for the benefit of educational institutions. |

| 4 | Information Governance and Audit by Mrs.Bhagyashree Vinit Tamhane | Information governance, which regards data as a valuable company asset, takes a comprehensive approach to managing corporate data by putting controls, responsibilities, processes, and metrics in place. Information governance spans a considerably wider range of activities, and what it entails differs from organisation to organisation. It mostly refers to internal firm rules and procedures that optimise information management in accordance with business objectives. Big Data, which is characterised by the three key vectors of volume, variety, and velocity, is being used by businesses. These are all expanding quickly, and mismanaging them could have negative effects. Continuous auditing and analytics is a technique for managing organisational data. A comprehensive lifecycle strategy is essential to successfully controlling your information since it provides you with real-time updates on its state. Building a strong and adaptable structure may help firms make better, more informed decisions and extract more value from their data. | 05-May-2021 | 28-June-2021/ 30-June-2021 |

| 5 | Research Trends in Library and Information Science in India by Dr. Sachin J. Shastri | Following independence, India's higher education sector grew rapidly. New developments and trends are continuously bringing about changes in the area of library and information science (LIS). Using digital technology for managing library collections and services including digital archives and online reference services is one of the newest developments in library and information studies (LIS). The services provided by libraries are becoming more user-centered and individualized. Research in information science and library science (LIS) is the process of gathering and evaluating first-hand information on a librarianship-related issue while working in libraries and library schools in accordance with academic and scientific standards. It includes research conducted by practical librarians and information professionals as well as research done at the doctoral level, studies, surveys, and investigations. Numerous library and information science disciplines have been the focus of research conducted in India by libraries and library schools. The majority of studies used the Ph.D. thesis as their main source to understand trends in LIS research. The subjects with the greatest research were information seeking behaviours, bibliometrics and scientometrics studies, and information services. Open access, Web 2.0, the Internet, and new study fields are all very interesting to LIS researchers in India. LIS would be a desirable subject to study in higher education, and it would encourage the younger generation to take on new problems for the benefit of professionals in the industry. | 01-May-2021 | 25-June-2021/ 30-June-2021 |
