The paper deals with 3D scanning techniques and instruments to survey the complex stuccoes from the architectural building Nanu-Muscel from Bucharest. EXAscan Portable 3D Laser Scanner has been used to exploit the advantages of the 3D surveying techniques and produce digital models and other geometric representations useful for the protection of historic architectures and a correct solution for their restoration. After the parameterization, the scanning of two stucco-objects surface yielded to a network of points. The program analyzes the points and joins them, so the final result being the scanned object in electronic format (digitized), by "Digitized Shape Editor" module in the Catia program. The not useful surfaces have been removed and for the symmetrical reconstruction the mirroring operation was applied.

Bishop Sándor Aranyosrákosi Székely (1794–1854) edited the catalogue of the Unitarian ministers and teachers on April 13th, 1849. Th e manuscript has a historical importance documenting the presence of Unitarians from Transylvania and especially the Szeklerland. This document shows the contemporary organizational chart of the church, listing the districts and parishes and naming all the white collars working in the church. The catalog shows that all parishes had schools, most of the congregations had a minister and a teacher too. Teachers usually worked as cantors. It is extremely valuable that the bishop created a complete list of the Unitarian clergy from the era of the 1848–1849 revolution. The paper sketches the possible uses of the catalog and the data included in it.

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.

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.

Abstract (sometimes called summary) of a scientific publication is a brief text that contains keywords. It is one of the elements of a bibliographic description in the bibliographic database iSybislaw – a modern information retrieval system. In the paper definitions of terms such as abstract, annotation and summary along with their constitutive elements are presented. A characteristics of such short texts inserted in the iSybislaw database in the fields Abstract and Abstract 2 is also given. Based on some examples excerpted from the iSybislaw system a typology of short texts, which are elements of the database bibliographic description, is proposed. The material allows to list three kinds of texts that are being used in the iSybislaw database: annotations, abstracts and biographic annotations.

In this study we examine the occurrences and correspondences of terms for affinal kinship in a Bulgarian–Ukrainian parallel corpus of fiction. All instances of the terms selected for study, matching and non-matching, were located and counted, and the frequencies compared. Some of the asymmetries found may have roots in culture and history whilst others reflect diverse features of language and the practice of literary translation.

It has been possible to examine and copies of the correspondence between Albanian and Italian Governments in establishing the Italian Archaeological Mission, including some telegrams of Italian Legacies and, manuscripts by Ugolini himself, etc. These documents found in the Central Archives of the State in Tirana are found at the documentary funds of the Ministry of Education, the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Interior and the Italian Legacy in Albania. Based on these documents, the official date or the first step towards the realization of Italian archaeological excavations in Albania was taken on April 12, 1924, when the Ministry of Education notified the Ministry of Interior that Dr. L. Ugolini a, “well-prepared Italian archaeologist in the prehistoric studies” and “a friend of Albania” would be visiting. The Albanian Embassy in Rome had informed the Ministry of Education of his visit. The letter of Roberto Paribeni on March 15, 1925 confirmed the beginning of archaeological excavations. On October 14, the head of the Italian Legation of Durrës wrote to his office in Saranda that the Albanian President had ordered local authorities to permit archaeological excavations in Feniki (Phoinike). The archaeological excavations began only in December 1926 and were very successful. But a year later, in December 1927, Ugolini informed the Albanian Minister of Education that the Italian Mission proposed to change the place of archaeological excavations from Phoinike to Butrinti (near Vivari lake in Santi Quaranta), and begin on the January 15, 1928. Only in spring 1928 Ugolini moved from Phoinike to Butrinti. Ugolini excavated at Butrint for eight years (1928-1936) despite many health problems. The voluminous correspondence, preserved in the Archives, shows his special personality and great passion for archaeology. On the evening of October 4, 1936 Ugolini died in Italy. On December 4, 1936 the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Roberto Paribeni, President of Reale Istituto Archeologico, had proposed Pirro Marconi, professor of Archaeology and Art History at the University of Naples and University of Palermo, as the successor to Ugolini and to be named as the Head of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Albania. Marconi’s activity in Butrint lasted just one year, because of his tragic death, flying to Rome, in late April 1938. After his death the excavations continued in June and July under Igino Epicoco and later that year, in accordance with a proposal by Roberto Paribeni, Domenico Mustilli, professor at the University of Naples, was named the director of Italian Archaeological Mission. The Italian surrender of September 1943 effectively ended all Italian concern with Butrint and with the archaeology of Albania. Italy had other more pressing problems closer to home. 29 November 1944, the Liberation day of Albania, opened a new chapter in its long history, the period of communism or the so called ‘proletarian dictatorship’ and, archaeology came to be organized in a very different way.

The engagement and inclusion of the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the part of the handling and management of records on new information carriers has no alternative in the 21st century. However, in order to establish a sound management system, valid legal frameworks are necessary, which will equate and streamline the processes in the desired direction. Over the past decades, the archives and archival legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have identified and harmonized practices and practices in the part relating to conventional archival material. However, in the part of new information carriers and new records, whether electronic, digital or otherwise, the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina still do not have the same approaches, adequate regulations, defined standards and rules. This is largely due to the lack of, or the inadequacy of, existing regulations that define the subject matter. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the existing regulations, point out certain deficiencies in the part of the inequality, or the absence of the regulations governing this important issue, and the obligation and responsibility of the archival service in terms of handling and managing records on new information carriers.

This paper views the problems related to the development of crochet software. It presents an extension of PKF - XML-based language for digital representation of crochet patterns. Its purpose is to develop a uniform and platform independent description of simple graphic primitives corresponding to different types of stitches. Due to the crochet symbols’ features the suggested format is particularly suitable for their description. Graphic primitives are described in vector format, character transformations are allowed, and there are possibilities for creating combinations of symbols, called clusters – major components in crochet diagram.The XML language can be built on crochet software.

When it comes to the company’s archives, it is primarily thought of as an archiving system used by companies. Also systematisation is also challenging, as a reorganization of the archives of the administration of local self-governments, because it enters the archive system of the municipality it belongs to, but the separate office is independent. The local community uses its own protocol and the order of the employee in office in the circumstances. The introduction of a working scheme that facilitates the acceleration and regulation of the activities of the office represents the living application of archival science as a science. Using the decennial experience, an ad hoc system was created that creates a “red thread” between still active (operational) documentation and one that is selected to become archival material, and then historical. Thus, the circumstances of the faster selection (selection) of documentation for scrapping, as well as the improvement and facilitation of the office business and the work of the archivist are acquired.

For a long time, there was the belief in archival theory and practice that it is enough to access archival records on the basis of provenance, and not on the basis of more detailed description of archival records and defining the subject headings and descriptors. Such a belief stems from the fact that the archives store extremely large quantities of archival records, which prevents the detailed description of preserved archival records on the level of item as well as the creation of subject headings. Determining of subject headings stems from the needs of users in order to be able to search for archival material in terms of content, and not just on the basis of provenance, as it presents a big problem for users. In the article, the author will discuss the previous experience in the construction of systems for the content description in the archives, and will present some possible solutions in the mentioned field.

Archiving of audio visual records and changesof televisiontechnologies. There is no doubt that the TV archive of the future will be a digital and multimedia one. The problems of the migration of the contents from analog tv documents to a digital ones will provide TV archives with mixed analog/di- gital contents, and they will be museums of old tv equipment and tapes for at least 10 years. Postponed and selective migration is a risk which must not endanger important documents. Moreover, the process of ageing shows the real archive and use value of an AV document, while modern and superior tecnologies spare repeated and expensive migrations of archive documents.
