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 Practical Approach to Ascertaining the Accuracy and Resolution of Post Rendered 3D Models Acquired Originally via 3D Digitization

Author(s): Feng Zhao,Soo Choon Loy / Language(s): English / Issue: VII/2017

3D digitization is becoming the norm in the preservation of tangible cultural properties be it movable or immovable. In the case of mobile cultural objects, 3D models are normally acquired through non-destructive methods such as photogrammetry or 3D scanning using structured light or laser. The continuing improvements in scanning equipment which result in higher accuracy and resolution can be translated to mean higher level of 3D data acquired. At times, the quantity of 3D data of a single model can get too large and beyond what a normal work-station can process. This is where optimization comes in. However, the level of optimization will vary to suit the final purpose or usage of the 3D model. During optimization, the resulting optimized 3D model is bound to suffer from some level of data loss when compared to the original 3D model acquired directly from laser scanning. This paper discusses a practical method devised by Amber Digital Solutions in maintaining a high level of accuracy of the final optimized model for national archival purposes which requires the highest form of quality.

A scientific description of specimens of Asian paper of known origin

Author(s): Anna-Grethe Rischel / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2020

The fibres and technologies used in the production of 14 handmade paper samples of known provenance, collected during study tours to Nepal, Thailand and Japan in 1984, 1985 and 1988 illustrate the importance of the preparation process for the final quality of the paper. The detailed descriptions from field notes and observation of the time-consuming preparation process of the fibres from the Moraceae and Thymelaeaceae plant families in this article indicate the close connection between the preparation of the fibres and the technology used in the sheet formation and the drying process. A useful reference for known fibres, technology and prove¬nance, these 14 samples serve in comparative analyses as an identification key for the fibres and technology of unidentified Asian papers.

A Shared European Research Space for the Social Sciences and Humanities? English Language Publishing and the Use of European Journals

Author(s): Joshua Eykens,Raf Guns,Janne Pölönen,Tim C. E. Engels / Language(s): English / Issue: 73/2020

This study explores whether there exists a European space of social sciences and humanities (SSH) scholarship in terms of journal use by focusing on journals that explicitly position themselves as Europe-oriented or internationally oriented. We gauge the prevalence of publications in Europe-oriented journals and to what extent the same scholarly journals are used in the SSH across different European countries. We analyze bibliographic metadata of 8,101 SSH journal articles collected from five research-intensive universities in Finland, Flanders (Belgium), Norway, and Spain for the period 2014–2015. We compare the results overall as well as at the level of SSH disciplines to find out to what extent a shared European journal space is emerging between the national and the international level. Differences between broad fields and individual disciplines as well as the institutions are discussed. With regard to journal sharing, the results are partially negative in the sense that we did not find extensive shared journal spaces. In this limited shared journal space however, Europe-oriented journals are of considerable importance. We include reflections on what the value of comprehensive bibliographic data would be for research into the European SSH.S

A SHORT HISTORY OF COMPUTER USE AT FACULTY OF PHYSICS – UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Author(s): Mircea Victor Rusu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

For physicists computing is a main activity. Starting from devising an experiment to problem solving with computer, from using mathematical tables to other aids to computation, physics has grown its strength by using each step the numerical computation. So, computing for researches as well as education was used and steadily improved by us, starting from first minicomputers to the last generation of computers and algorithms. In this presentation we will follow, in short, the evolution of computing, hard and soft, in physics at our faculty. We selected here the main field of interests that was connected with problems showing: programmed solutions, simulations and modeling, computer application and software during the time. Such a time recollection is interesting and surprises me as how diverse and far such activity was done. Examples will be from computation in tradition physics, to biology, chemistry, astronomy, medicine to data processing and visualization, data management, to create our own educational software and so on. The fields as nonlinear dynamics, complexity, chaos and fractals, as well as fluid dynamics, atomic, molecular or nuclear physics, earth or stellar physics, connected to improvement of the experiments and devices via artificial intelligence are some of our topics which will be exemplified here.

A Short Note on the Glagolitic Ornament in Pamvo Berynda’s Triod Cvetnaya (Kiev 1631)

Author(s): Sebastian Kempgen / Language(s): English / Issue: 14-15/2015

The article draws attention to two lesser known lines written in Glagolitic which are part of the Epilogue to Pamvo Berynda’s Triod Cvetnaja, printed in Kiev in 1631. Thanks to their typographic realisation, these two lines seem to have been mainly considered „an ornament“ or a „cryptographic“ element of the text in older literature. The article presents the Glagolitic text in standard Unicode encoding, so it becomes electronically searchable as such, along with a transliteration and a translation. It turns out that the Glagolitic text is nearly identical to the self-descriptions famout printer Pamvo Berynda had used before (although in Cyrillic). Another question put forth in the paper is the provenience of the actual printing types used in Kiev in 1631. A comparision shows that the letters look similar – but not identical – to printing type used around the same time Italy (Rome, Venice) or by Primož Trubar in the century before. The typographic quality of the Kievan types is, however, inferior.
