A METHODOLOGICAL MODEL OF AN ELECTRONIC COLLECTION OF WIDESPREAD EUROPEAN FOOD IDIOMS

Author(s): Petronela SAVIN / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2014

The present paper aims at presenting the research methodology for creating an electronic collection of widespread European food idioms, corresponding to the shared European cultural heritage. This study intends to make use of digital scientific lexicographical methods in the field of phraseology, providing an answer to the challenge regarding the research strategies of studying language from the perspective of cultural universals. Even if the cross-linguistic similarities of idioms according to their cultural foundations seem to gain ground in today's research, the electronic collections are less convincing. In response to the current situation of the onomasiological cross-linguistic corpus of idioms, our study’s main objective is the elaboration of a methodological model of an electronic collection of widespread European food, which exceeds the perspective of a simple compilation of phrasemes that are separately treated and alphabetically ordered, but organised as organic elements related to a coherent system.

Contribuţii la istoria României într-o carte din secolul al-XVII-lea

Author(s): Luana TROIA / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2002

The library „Gheorghe Asachi” from Iaşi has an interesting collection of old books belonging to the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. This collection comprises a great number of historical works. Among them, we have to mention Raphael Fabretti’s book De Columna Traiani Syntagma, which came out printing at Angellus Tinassius printing house in Rome, about 1683.Fabretti opens his book with a preface Ad lectorem, explaining away the importance of this work for history, taking into consideration that there are preserved few documents belonging to Traian’s period.The work is divided in nine chapters; seven of them remarke Traian’s reign, the author using a few known historical and literary sources about those times. At the same time, the author tries some considerations on the artistical achievement of the sculptures on the Column. The eight chapter is a comparative study concerning the existing inscriptions from the Roman empire period and the ones on the Column. The last chapter of the work deals with numismatics. There are commented and compared various monies belonging to Traian’s reign (during the Dacian Wars) and even after Traian’s reign.Fabretti ends the book with an index of works and memorable words. We consider this book very important for the collection of our library, because the Traian’s Column is an authentic birth certificate for the Romanian people.

Evoluţii şi probleme ale catalogării în biblioteca contemporană

Author(s): Letiția POPESCU / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2003

It is well-known that the library inour days must evolve in order torespond the readers needs; that implies a better informational endowment.The process of informatisation may be divided into four stages: the Ostage refers to the lack of any modern informational mean; the 1st stage impliesthe automatization of public library services and the acces to OPAC (On LinePublic Acess Catalogue); the 2nd stage requires Internet connection not only for librarians, but also for the readers; the 3rd stage reffers to the existence ofvirtual library.The informational process in our country was obvious in the mostimportant librairies, such as: National Library, University Library, AcademicLibrary. Unfortunatelly, there are a lot of impediments linked to administrative,financial, mental, geographical, law problems etc. Sometimes, these problemshave been solved with the support of local communities.The process of informational development affected first of all thespecific services of the public library: Cataloguing, Evidence, Circulation,Aquisition.In modern librairies, we do no longer need the traditional cataloguecards, because the readers had no possibility to consult them outside thelibrary.The use of informational services in public librairies meant a stepforward in two ways: the informations are better organized and stored and canbe found in a faster and easier way; on the other hand, the readers are betterserved if they have computers and databases to help them.

Are Public Libraries a Commonplace? Users from Disadvantaged Groups, Their Cultural Participation Models and an Impact of Libraries

Author(s): Magdalena Paul / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

In the article, I presented the results of the study of the social impact of Mazovian public libraries, focusing on groups of users coming from disadvantaged backgrounds – older people, people in the worse financial situation and residents of villages and small towns. Surveys were carried out in 2017 on 1098 users of 38 Mazovian public libraries (rural and urban). Based on the data I concluded that there are some differences both in the models of public libraries’ use in the analyzed groups, as well as in the range of the benefits of contact with libraries.

Author(s): Paulina Dąbrosz-Drewnowska / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2/2018

The article presents the exploitation of global modern IT services required to create the new museum project called virtual museum. Its permise is to acknowledge the museum objects around the world. The example of The Lost Museum shows how the modern IT solutions give the possibilities to generate contemporary and peculiar museum projects. The international virtual museum project called The Lost Museum is created to meet the needs of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Its aim is to gather information and to show the Polish pieces of art stolen after the Second World War by the Nazi German and Soviet forces. The works of art were lost. The Lost Museum publishes the art images being on the list of war losses to help their recovering. The IT services facilitate the publication of information about the huge amount of Polish pieces of art robbed during the war on unimaginably enormous scale in the history. The virtual museum brings them back in memory, showing at the same time their importance for Polish heritage and explaining to the young generation how they were engaged in constructing the national identity.

An Unknown Page from the Life of Jan Bobrzyński

Author(s): Sebastian Paczos / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The article is an attempt to analyze two works by Jan Bobrzyński written at the end of World War Two and in the early period of Polish People’s Republic: Współczesne zadania socjalizmu (The Modern Tasks of Socialism) and Die grosse deutsche Lüge (The Great German Lie). The author compares the contents of the two writings with Bobrzyński’s views from before WWII. The question is pondered whether Jan Borzyński’s post-war choices, such as joining the Polish Socialist Party or fierce anti- Germanism, were the result of the evolution of his views, ideological disorientation, or simply opportunism manifested in adjusting his own beliefs to the needs of the moment?

Author(s): Marco Scarpa,Constanta Burlacu,Desislava Paneva-Marinova / Language(s): English Issue: XI/2021

Written testimonies about the activity of South Slavic scribes and their monastic scriptoria in the 14th century are an essential resource of information, part of the world’s cultural and historical heritage which is at risk. Their tracking as well as the systematization and digitalization, will show how the information derived from medieval manuscripts is a source for the history of the Bulgarian state, but also for understanding the state policy in the fields of science and culture, and for constructing and managing new knowledge in today’s modern society. In this article we present the objectives of the Fourteenth Century South Slavonic Scribes and Scriptoria project. After giving a brief introduction to the cultural context of South Slavic lands in the 14th century, we proceed with describing how we intend to bring digital palaeography to the field of Slavonic Studies.

Component-based Software Architecture Applied for Design of Heritage Con-tent

Author(s): Oleg Iliev,Radoslav Yoshinov / Language(s): English Issue: XI/2021

The paper designs a model for creating heritage content, composed as a combination of multiple components, thanks to the opportunities provided by a component-based software architecture. The result is the ability to annotate different types of heritage objects available in public databases, such as video, sound, image, text, 3D model, and more, to obtain meaningful content. Moreover, the “component” types that contribute to a more complete presentation of the information delivered can be constantly increased without requiring a significant change in the software environment, but only a simple configuration change.

Coursevo: A Multimedia Online Learning Platform to Support Onlife Communities and its Extension with Gamification Facilities

Author(s): Nektarios Moumoutzis,Nikos Pappas,Chara Xanthaki,Stelios Perrakis,Yiannis Maragkoudakis,Stavros Christodoulakis,Desislava Paneva-Marinova / Language(s): English Issue: XI/2021

Coursevo (http://coursevo.com/) is a multilingual multimedia information system for managing courses, supporting learning processes and learning communities through the Web. Its multi-tenant architecture supports multiple instances of the underlying server infrastructure using the same core to serve the needs of multiple communities. An advantage of Coursevo in comparison with other eLearning systems is the emphasis that is given in the use of multimedia as a powerful learning means. Learning activities using multiple media can be more effective than doing it through a single medium (such as text), but what is important is combining media effectively. Coursevo is used in several vocational training and life-long-learning initiatives to establish and continuously support Onlife Communities. An Onlife Community is an aggregation that emerges in hyperconnected spaces when humans engage with other humans as well as with machines and natural entities in mindful interactions with sufficient human feeling to form webs of personal relationships. The paper presents how Coursevo is extended with gamification facilities to enable game-based learning scenarios within the context of the GAME IT project and beyond.
