A French Page in the History of the Union of Brest: the Ruthenian Psalter of Jacques Davy Du Perron

Author(s): Laurent Tatarenko / Language(s): English Issue: 114/2020

Until now, the mission carried out in Rome by the Ruthenian bishops Hipacy Pociej and Cyryl Terlecki between November 1595 and March 1596 was mainly known by a few scattered notes and reports left by the various members of the Curia, which were brought together in the second half of the 20th century in sources editions of Atanasij Velykyj. This is why the Ruthenian psalter found in the library of Évreux (Normandy) offers a new perspective on this founding stage of the Union of Brest. The book annotated by the hand of Pociej himself and offered to the French bishop Jacques Davy Du Perron, who was then in Rome, refl ects both the ecclesiological conceptions of the Ruthenian bishop of Volodymyr and his desire to place the unionist polemic in a wider confessional context, well beyond the borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The apparent failure of this initiative also comes as a testimony to the challenges faced by supporters of local Unions from the post-Tridentine period.

A Good Practice (based on ELINET criteria) of Non-formal Education Involving a Library to Improve Literacy Skills (on the example of Hungarian project)

Author(s): Ildikó Szabó / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

Started in February 2014, ELINET project run for 2 years including 28 European countries. It aimed to analyse and consult on literacy policies at a local, regional, national, and trans-national level, raising awareness of literacy issues and coordinating campaigns. Ultimately, the fruit of this network was to include a European framework of good practice in raising literacy levels and a sample of corresponding examples. The paper is to present the way good practices were collected and reviewed; and introduces a good practice (run by John von Neumann University Pedagogical Faculty, “Reading belongs to everyone, even to you!”) based on the ELINET good practice framework. // Rozpoczęty w lutym 2014 r. Projekt ELINET był realizowany przez 2 lata, przez 28 krajów europejskich. Jego celem była analiza i konsultacje w zakresie lokalnych, regionalnych, krajowych i ponadnarodowych polityk rozwoju umiejętności czytania i pisania, podnoszenie świadomości na temat alfabetyzacji oraz koordynowanie kampanii. Ostatecznie, efektem działania sieci było utworzenie Europejskiej ramy dobrych praktyk w podnoszeniu poziomu umiejętności czytania i pisania oraz przykładów jej zastosowania. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie sposobu, w jaki zebrano i zweryfikowano dobre praktyki, opisuje również dobrą praktykę (prowadzoną przez Wydział Pedagogiczny Uniwersytetu Johna von Neumanna w ramach programu „Czytanie należy do wszystkich, nawet do Ciebie!”), stworzoną w oparciu o dobre praktyki ELINET.

A heuristic algorithm based on hydrophobic amino acids sequences in HP protein folding problem

Author(s): Metodi Traykov,Slav Angelov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The protein structure prediction is of massive significance because the properties of the proteins are critically determined by their structures. The protein structure prediction problem (Protein Folding Problem) is to predict the compact three-dimensional structure of a protein based on its amino acid sequence. Therefore, the protein folding problem is a computationally challenging problem. In this article, we will study the behavior of heuristic algorithm for protein folding problem, above sequences of hydrophobic amino acids only. The article is for educational purposes.

A kolozsvári Minerva sajtófotó archívuma

Author(s): Zoltán Tibori Szabó / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2016

In 2010 was found the photographic archive of newspapers Igazság and Făclia, in Cluj-Napoca, after the dissolution of the Făclia photo lab. The negatives, covering the decades of 1960-1990proved to be invaluable documents of everyday life in Cluj and the region. Minerva Cultural Association took over the approximately 30 thousand negatives, archived them, but also digitized them, making accessible on the institution’s website: http://www.photoarchive.minerva.org.ro/Ro. A small part of the pictures was published in the aforementioned newspapers, but the most have not been widely publicized.

A literatura? Epoki dawne w odbiorze licealistów - rozpoznania

Author(s): Paulina Słoma / Language(s): Polish Issue: 9/2019

Cel badań: Próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jaki sposób postrzegana jest literatura epok dawnych z perspektywy uczniów pierwszych klas liceum. Wykorzystanie zdobytych informacji na rzecz dydaktyki języka polskiego. Metoda: Bazę wyjściową podjętych rozpoznań stanowiły wyniki badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego w liceach pod koniec roku szkolnego 2017/2018 wśród pierwszoklasistów z wielkopolskich szkół. Analizę uzyskanego materiału poprzedziła diagnoza obecności samej literatury w wymaganiach programowych przeznaczonych dla pierwszej klasy oraz analiza wymagań stawianych na maturze. Ostatni etap rozważań – oparty na wynikach uczniowskich ankiet – ujęty został w perspektywie możliwości antropologiczno-kulturowego ujęcia szkolnej literatury epok dawnych. Wyniki: Analiza uczniowskich odpowiedzi pozwoliła zauważyć, że literatura nie stanowi częstego punktu odniesienia dla uczniów kończących pierwszą klasę liceum. Informacje zgromadzone podczas całorocznej nauki na przedmiocie język polski oscylują pomiędzy kwestiami wizualności epoki a indywidualnymi upodobaniami. Nie łączą się jednak bezpośrednio z przedmiotem - bliżej im do uczniowskiej recepcji kultury popularnej lub ogólnych skojarzeń, które uniemożliwiają pozytywną ocenę uczniowskich kompetencji w odbiorze i rozumieniu epok literackich. Wnioski: Antropologiczne ujęcie uczniowskich refleksji pozwala na wstępne opracowanie metod pracy skupiających się na tekstach literackich już od epok najdawniejszych. Życie człowieka epok dawnych, uwikłanego w swoją kulturę, nie musi stanowić bariery uniemożliwiającej współczesnemu licealiście zrozumienie tekstów dawnych.

A LOW TE(A)CH APPROACH TO DIGITAL HUMANITIES

Author(s): Liviu Pop / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Technological fatigue is spreading due to the increased arrays of technological branches and the rapid pace of development. Keeping up with the latest and newest might prove not only difficult and tiring, but also not necessarily recommended to beginners in digital humanities. A more “back to the basis” approach might be more useful for students that don’t have technical backgrounds.

A Method for Modeling a Schema for Graph Databases

Author(s): Peretz Shoval / Language(s): English Issue: VIII/2018

The recent decade had brought about massive growth in the Web and Web data - pictures, documents, videos and more. What worked well for years with relational databases is not well suited for the unstructured massive amounts of data and applications that are part of the Web, such as social networks. As a result, new types of database have emerged, including NoSQL (“not only SQL”) databases. Graph data-bases are one type of NoSQL database.

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.

A Monte Carlo Method for Image Classification Using SVM

Author(s): Emanouil Atanassov,Aneta Karaivanova,Sofiya Ivanovska,Mariya Durchova / Language(s): English Issue: XI/2021

Support Vector Machines are a widely used tool in Machine Learning. They have some important advantages with regards to the more popular Deep Neural Networks. For the problem of image classification, multiple SVMs may be used and the issue of finding the best hyperparameters adds additional complexity and increases the overall computational time required. Our goal is to develop and study Monte Carlo algorithms that allow faster discovery of good hyperparameters and training of the SVMs, without impacting negatively the final accuracy of the models. We also employ GPUs and parallel computing in order to achieve good utilisation of the capabilities of the available hardware. In this paper we describe our methods, provide implementation details and show numerical results, achieved on the publicly available Architectural Heritage Elements image Dataset.
