Author(s): Zoran Vukelić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian / Issue: 21/2018

The theme of the paper is a “product” of one of the activities ofthe Historical Archives of Subotica, the regional center of archival activities in thenorthern part of the Republic of Serbia - that is, writing, preparing and publishingof journal called “Ex Pannonia”. In the previous, twenty-one issue of the magazine,the pages of the Subotica edition published works of different scope and quality,with different topics, either from archival or other sources. The author startsfrom the postulates that the protection of archival material is the most importantactivity of the profession in historical archives, and therefore, the significance of theexistence of a journal like this one, despite all the faults and objections.

„Нашият труд е песента“

(народната музика в българските радиопрограми от първите години на социализма и нейната „мека власт“)

Author(s): Dimov Ventsislav / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3/2018

peoples music, state socialism, people's democracy, Bulgarian radio, soft powerThe article describes the main power concepts and practices, related to music in Bulgarian radio during the first years of socialist Bulgaria – the Fatherland front period (1944-1947), when the authorities start to take possession of state radio, under the guise of “people’s democracy”; and the totalitarian period (1948-1956) – a period of “classical Stalinism”, a time of the completed control of radio and media music by the communist power. The focus is on the so called folk music in radio, which turns out to be one of the main conduits of “soft power” in the first years of Bulgarian national socialism. Its presence in the narratives of communist power, its place in radio programs, its main figures and formats, its power uses as “music for the people” and some discourses as “correct” and “incorrect” music, according to authorities, are examined.

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.

A FRAMEWORK FOR THE MEASUREMENT AND PREDICTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL SCIENTIST’S PERFORMANCE

Author(s): Endel Põder / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Quantitative bibliometric indicators are widely used to evaluate the performance of scientists. However, traditional indicators do not much rely on the analysis of the processes intended to measure and the practical goals of the measurement. In this study, I propose a simple framework to measure and predict an individual researcher’s scientific performance that attempts to take into account the main regularities of publication and citation processes and the requirements of practical tasks. Statistical properties of the new indicator – a scientist’s personal impact rate – are illustrated by its application to a sample of Estonian researchers.

Author(s): Serhat Bahadir KERT,Filiz KALELIOĞLU,Yasemin Gülbahar / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

In this study, effectiveness of a computer science course at the secondary school level is investigated through a holistic approach addressing the dimensions of instructional content design, development, implementation and evaluation framed according to ADDIE instructional design model where evaluation part constituted the research process for the current study. The process has initiated when the computer science curriculum had major revisions in order to provide in-service teachers with necessary support and guidance. The study is carried through as a project, which lasted more than one year and both quantitative and qualitative measures were used through a sequential explanatory method approach. The intention was to investigate the whole process in detail in order to reveal the effectiveness of the process and the products. In this regard, not only teachers' perceptions but also students' developments in their perceptions of academic achievement and computational thinking, as well as correlations between the computational thinking sub-factors were investigated. The findings showed that the instructional materials and activities developed within the scope of the study, positively affected the computational thinking and academic achievement of students aged 10 and 12 years old. The teachers' weekly feedbacks regarding application structures and implementation processes were also supported the findings and revealed some more details that will be useful both for instructional designers and teachers.

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 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.

ADAPTACIJA PROSTORA ZA SMJEŠTAJ ARHIVSKE GRAĐE U ARHIVU TUZLANSKOG KANTONA

Author(s): Saneta Adrović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian / Issue: 11/2008

Accepting archival material from its owners in accordance with relevant legal regulation archives can not achieve without access to suitable archival space (archival depo's). This issue had been influencing dynamics of accepting the material during past in all Bosnian-Herzegovian archives, Archive Tuzla included, which ultimately reflected on the state of archival material in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that is mistake of archive's founders but also society as a whole. In the absence of organized social care for ensuring adequate archival space archives in the past, and even now, forced to find solutions themselves. With huge efforts some inadequate objects are obtained, often in an unsuitable locations. Such example is the Archive of Tuzla Canton. Objects that are provided to the Archive for ten years use are not satisfying considering location (place where army resided), space (ten kilometres distance from our main building), or construction (object created for other purposes). However, since no better solution could be found, the Archive took these objects, adapted them and used them for storing less important archival material, thus creating the possibility to use Archive's suitable, central depo for first category material. All these activities have been achieved thanks to great enthusiasm of the Archive's employees, which is a positive example how with our own effort a contribution to protection of cultural and historical heritage can be successfully achieved.

AKTUALNI TRENDOVI U AUSTRIJSKIM ARHIVSKIM INSTITUCIJAMA

Author(s): Walter Brunner / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian / Issue: 3/2000

As we look at the last ten years of archives building construction, we can see the following trends: in Klagenfurt (Federal Land Kernten) and St. Polten (Federal State of Lower Austria), apart from the Austrian state archive, built entirely new archives that are correspond to archival scientific literature. In the Innsbruck (Federal Land of Tyrol), Graz (Federal Land of Stajerska) and Vienna, existing buildings, with minor or greater adaptations, were adapted for archival purposes. In archives that can’t reach daylight and which are located in the interior, it is necessary to install climate control, while in those buildings with windows, according to climatic conditions, this area can apply natural air conditioning. Due to its location and functionality, the Styrian archive of history showed itself as a successful combination between a new, functional central depot and an adapted historical monastery.
