Author(s): Mine Küçük,Gürsoy ŞEREF / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 75/2022

Historical data shows that the concept of time entered the life of human beings when the Egyptians discovered that the sun that rises every day BC in the 1500 ’s, performs this action at certain periods. Every moment that time, which is an abstract concept, represents concretely, appears as a clock form in the historical process. Clock is a product that measures time and was developed for informational purposes. With the effect of technology, its functionality has diversified and today it has turned into a smart form that can update itself according to the needs of the user. The research shows the diversity created by the user experience on a design through the student designs that emerged with the teaching activity titled smart watch face design, which was carried out within the scope of the information design course. In this context, it has been experienced as a result of the design practices that a smart watch's face can be personalized and an active sector awareness has been created in this regard. The students created their own answers to questions such as “Can designing a smart watch face be defined as information design? What are the differences and similarities between information design and interface design? What are the design rules in smart watch face, by experiencing the process?” and at the end of the activity, they realized the importance of user experience in the field of design.

The purpose of the work is to define the historical milestones of scientific and technological progress and to identify the interrelationship of art, technique, and technology at various stages of world culture development. The research methodology is based on philosophical and aesthetic research on the evolution of artistic culture and the understanding of the musical-communicative process, which allows the summing up and substantiating of the conclusions of the outlined issues. The scientific novelty of the work consists in gradually highlighting the historical stages of the scientific and technical revolution, demonstrating its direct influence on the development of musical art from the first stages of its development to the present day. It has been determined that in each historical formation, transformational processes are closely related to scientific and technical progress, which today are the main driving force of the musical and technical industry. Conclusions. The first stage is marked by the emergence of writing, which destroyed the monopoly of a small number of people on knowledge. At this stage, musical notation appears, with the help of which the information related to music is broadcasted. In the second stage, the invention of the printing press becomes a means of rapid dissemination of information, including musical information, through sheet music printing. The third stage is associated with the invention of mechanical sound recording and sound reproduction devices, as well as the introduction of electric current and analogue sound recording devices. In the fourth stage, because of modern technological achievements, the so-called phenomenon of "digital arts" is formed, which is characterised by interactivity, elitism, a new genre system, and innovative means of artistic expression. Modern artistic technologies, relying on the latest sound processors, computer software, and other digital innovations, help to expand the boundaries and create a new sound palette in music and concert practice, theatre performances, studio work, radio broadcasting, screen arts, and other areas of cultural and artistic life.

Author(s): Liudmyla Doskich / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2022

he purpose of the article is to characterise the features of fake news as a new means of propaganda, disinformation, and manipulation. The research methodology is based on the interdisciplinary integration of methodological tools of a number of approaches, taking into account the principles of objectivity, systematicity, and reliability. The system method has been used to analyse fake news as a complex-structured communication system; as a socio-communicative phenomenon within social networks – functional; as the newest form of rumor – comparative. In addition, the research methodology is based on general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and systematisation. Scientific novelty consists in improving the scientific conceptualisation of the concept of fake news as a new means of manipulation, disinformation, and propaganda. Conclusions. Fake is false news, invented stories for the purpose of obtaining any benefit (financial, political, or other), the authenticity of which is provided by fabricated media formats: text message, advertisement, photo, video or audio fakes, use of bots, trolls who actively participate in discussions. Types of fakes include outright misinformation, manipulation, propaganda, rumors, memes, alternative facts, "viral" content, pranking, news satire, generators of news, and synthesised media content. Social networks play the biggest role in spreading fake information. Currently, the issues of forming critical thinking skills and information literacy of the population, conducting campaigns to form a strategy against fake news, to prevent the risk of losing trust in democracy and Internet technologies, as well as to resist the manipulation of public opinion, are becoming actualised.

Author(s): Oleksandr Kuzmenko,Olena Kuzmenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2022

The purpose of the work is to outline the main meaningful components of information-analytical activity (IAA), in this context, to show the process of evolution of the IAA discipline in response to the challenges of the information society and its need for new specialists with new knowledge competencies in the conditions of digitisation. The research methodology consists in the application of a complex of general scientific and special methods, namely: analytical and synthetic processing of information, abstraction, generalisation, logical and systemic approaches, terminological and historical methods, as well as comparison and interrelationship of theory and practice. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the expansion of ideas about the role of the discipline "Information and analytical activity" in the formation of competences in the training of specialists in the specialty "Information, library and archive" and their influence on the development of modern society in the conditions of informatisation and digitisation. Conclusions. The analysis of scientific publications on the development and functioning of information and analytical activities in society, the study of relevant regulatory documents, in particular, educational and professional programs and educational standards, curricula for the specialty "Information, library and archival affairs" shows that, that the discipline "Information and analytical activity" (or "Information analytics") will continue to be in demand in the process of training applicants of the specified direction. Firstly, this is due to the fact that the processes of information and analytical activity permeate the activities of all information institutions and other organisations, which in one way or another are related to work with information and various documents. The need for information and analytical products of libraries and other information institutions is due to the objective request of users to get an idea of the main trends of changes in the meaningful filling of large masses of information in response to the challenges of the digital society. Secondly, the widespread development and implementation of information and communication technologies, the emergence of new types of documents and information carriers, a new level of evolution of analytical technologies, require future information specialists to have a deep knowledge of information and analytical processes and high level of digital competence. This will ensure the flexibility and adaptability of the educational system to new types of professional activity that appear as a result of digital transformation.

STORYTELLING IN THE DIGITAL ERA: PERSPECTIVES ON AGE AND GENDER

Author(s): Besmir Shishko / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

Storytelling constitutes the use of narrative and facts in order to express a topic of interest or concern to an audience. To produce and share stories with the appropriate audience, digital storytelling uses information technology. The position of underrepresented people and groups, such as women and African-Americans, is influenced significantly by storytelling. Storytelling, also known as narratives, has a long history in African-American culture, with African-Americans using narratives to share their life stories and folktales as a form of entertainment. The purpose of this essay is to examine several aspects of storytelling in the context of digitalization, with a focus on age and gender. The study responded to research questions regarding narratives and storytelling and by this storytelling aided in restoring identity among traditionally disadvantaged and marginalized communities and groups. In using digital storytelling, people were taught how to utilize digital media tools to create video narratives about themselves and their experiences.

Author(s): Kristina Kulikauskienė,Diana Šaparnienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 94/2022

The article analyzes the functions of public libraries during crisis, putting emphasis on the con-text of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the scientific literature reveals that during the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to such libraries’ functions as providers of informational resources and cultural services (book loans, organizing cultural events), partners (collaboration with other organizations) and internal planners (maintenance of successful functioning of libraries) the functions of information disseminators (dissemination of trustworthy information, fight against infodemic), community supporters (care for and support to community members) and educators and trainers (development of competencies relevant during crisis) are particularly significant. The article presents the results of the survey conducted in Šiauliai region public libraries, which allows to examine the functions of public libraries during COVID-19 pandemic from the empirical perspective, to assess the situation of implementation of different functions, to compare them with the results from studies conducted in other countries, and to provide insights to strengthen the most prominent functions in the pandemic context. This research is important not only in the context of COVID-19 pandemics, but any crisis situation.

An Examination of Factors Determining User Privacy Perceptions of Voice-Based Assistants

Author(s): Biodun Awojobi,Brett J. L. Landry / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Purpose: Voice-based assistants have become ubiquitous in our homes and all around us. We interact with voice-based assistants through smartphones, dedicated home devices, or other Internet-connected devices. The proliferation of these devices in our lives makes us question whether the data transmitted through these devices are secure and the role perception of privacy the users of these devices have in the usage of the device. This paper focuses on the user privacy issues specific to two voice-based assistants – Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant using quantitative and qualitative methods. The paper will answer three research questions regarding user privacy perceptions and how a user’s technology adoption, smartphone operating system, and demographics influence their perception of privacy. Study design/methodology/approach: This is a mixed research study where survey data was collected from faculty, staff, and students of a large University in the United States and professional connections globally. Findings: Privacy perceptions vary based on user age, educational level, gender, smartphone adoption, and technical awareness and expertise. Originality/value: This study is unique in highlighting the perception of privacy for voice-based assistants and assigning a numerical value based on survey data to the concern. Another feature of the study is its correlation of privacy perception with mobile phone operating systems and the level of technical expertise of voice-based assistant users.

Inventorying the Intangible: an International Context for Archival Practice

Author(s): Anita Vaivade / Language(s): English Issue: 36/2018

The paper explores a context for archival practice, namely the intergovernmental cooperation within UNESCO and international as well as national policy making and policy-implementation in the field of intangible cultural heritage (hereinafter – ICH). Although neither “inventorying”, nor “intangible” are among the most frequently used words in the present day vocabulary of archival practice, they are nevertheless of high relevance for archival work. The paper provides some historical insights into the evolution of intergovernmental debates during the previous decades, in relation (initially) to safeguarding folklore or traditional and popular culture, and (later) to safeguarding ICH. Such evolutions include, for instance, shifts from an emphasis on centralised national archives to decentralised documentation institutions, from harmonising archiving methods to diversifying research methodologies, from specialists trained in conservation to communities trained in safeguarding. The paper further explores the present international stances and principles for national ICH inventorying (in relation/comparison to international ICH listing), and the various roles that archives have or could have in that regard, with some national cases as examples. The paper concludes by exploring some prospects for partnerships where archival knowledge, expertise, know-how and experience could be put into practice for the initiatives of ICH inventorying, whether carried out by public institutions, or accomplished as community-driven non-governmental initiatives. The article provides some international standard-setting references, which currently ground the international cooperation on ICH safeguarding, including (in relation to inventorying): awareness-raising, ethical principles, and others. And such references, in their turn, could be practically used for considering possible involvement of archives in policy-implementation in the field of ICH, as well as potentially contributing to on-going policy development in this same field, both at the national as well as international levels.

“Encyclopaedia Slavica Sanctorum” Ten Years Later: Main Trends and Questions

Author(s): Margaret Dimitrova,Maxim Goynov,Konstantin Rangochev,Detelin Luchev,Gita Senka / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

The paper discusses users’ activities in the period 2011-2022, mostly types of searches, in an electronic encyclopaedia on saints. The e-product contains information in Bulgarian on orthodox church calendar and texts dedicated to saints as preserved in medieval Slavonic manuscripts and in popular Bulgari-an culture (as represented in fieldwork interviews). The most frequently used options are “view object” and “view date”. Most often articles on popular saints amongst Bulgarians were read, such as St. Basil the Great, St. Kliment of Ohrid, St. George, and St. Petka of Tarnovo. Less often are searches by combined parameters and an increase of their frequency is observable in 2019-2021.

An Approach to Data Representation and Processing of Knowledge from the Bulgarian Folklore

Author(s): Veneta Tabakova-Komsalova,Asya Stoyanova-Doycheva,Alexander Petrov,Laska Kostadinova-Tzankova / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

In the context of global and high-tech development, cultural fields are often overlooked during these transitions. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to their inclusion. Cultural-historical heritage, which has undergone centuries of changes, deserves to be introduced into the technological world and made as accessible as possible to society, without territorial or border restrictions. Digitizing a part of this heritage, including folklore, can make it high-tech while preserving its character, peculiarity, and identity. This article examines the digitalization of Bulgarian cultural and historical heritage. It explores existing international standards for presenting cultural heritage and proposes a formalism for an adequate presentation of knowledge in the field of Bulgarian folklore. This article presents the first version of a model for the formal description of objects from Bulgarian folklore. We provide examples of the formal presentation of objects from Bulgarian folklore and their corresponding computer implementation.
