Kakasonist Kaljulaks. Perekonnanimede eestistamise andmebaasi analüüs

Author(s): Fred Puss / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 8-9/2021

Surname changes have taken place throughout their existence, but not so often as a result of a nationwide campaign. In Estonia campaign of Estonianizing foreign (mostly German) sounding names took place in 1920–1944 with 99% of the name changes taking place in 1935–1940. It stands out for its intenseness which resulted a surname change of every sixth person. Also, public access to the complete database of name changes already since the 1990s (www.ra.ee/apps/onomastika/) is unique when compared to other countries. Author of this article has amended the public version of the database for the last two decades and explains the arisen problems with it. This article uses new data analysis methods to correct the total number of surname changers during the campaign (see Table 1). The resulting number of approximately 195,000 is smaller than has been estimated so far (210,000). Estonian population at that time was 1.13 million, thus the amount of name changers was 17%.New names were often taken from a 1935 book of suggested surnames titled Eesti nimi (“Estonian name”). The book contains 15,595 suggested names and 30% of them were actually taken as a new name. Also 30% of all taken names (37% when counting all individual name changes) come from the book, in some municipalities even up to 83%. The public preferred shorter names from the book and the use of the book slightly increased year by year (see Figures 2 and 3). Average length of all taken names was seven letters (69% took a name with 6 to 8 letters), the most popular first letters being k (13%), r (11%) and l (10%).The first letter of the old and new name matches in 57% cases, most popular preserved first letters being r and l (both 77% , see Figure 1). Tendency of preserving the first letter also increased in time. 10% of the names were taken only once, with the highest (up to 29%) number in municipalities of Petseri county. Taking an unique name also slightly increased in time. Almost the Pareto rule applies to surname changers: 73% of name changers used 22% of the overall choice of taken names. Many more analyses can be made with the huge database, for example analysis of the vocabulary used in taken names, aesthetically motivated name changes, reused names (for example taking a wife’s maiden name as a new surname), geographical-chronological dynamics of name changes etc.

Digitalizacja materiałów archiwalnych w świetle prawa autorskiego. Zagadnienia wybrane

Author(s): Adrian Niewęgłowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 122/2021

W artykule przedstawiono problematykę digitalizacji materiałów archiwalnych, pod którym to pojęciem rozumie się przekształcanie ich tradycyjnego zapisu do cyfrowej postaci. Obecnie coraz częściej materiały archiwalne istnieją od początku w formie cyfrowej. Dawniej przybierały jednak formy wydrukowanych książek, spisanych dokumentów itp. Rozwój technologii sprawia, że bardzo duża część archiwów dokonuje cyfryzacji swoich tradycyjnych zbiorów, m.in. w celu sprawniejszego udostępniania materiałów archiwalnych. Po nadaniu archiwaliom cyfrowej postaci, mogą być one rozpowszechniane na dużą skalę za pośrednictwem Internetu. Takie zabiegi nie są jednak często obojętne z punktu widzenia obowiązujących w danym państwie przepisów z zakresu prawa autorskiego. Czasami regulacje te przewidują zasady, na jakich może odbywać się digitalizacja. Problematyka, której dotyczy artykuł, jest bardzo szeroka. Dlatego też analizie poddano najważniejsze aspekty zagadnienia, mające praktyczny walor dla działalności archiwalnej. W artykule poruszono m.in. problem udostępniania materiałów w postaci cyfrowej. Odniesiono się do nowych przepisów, w tym z zakresu dzieł osieroconych. [The article presents the issue of digitization of archival materials, which is the transformation of their traditional form into a digital one. Currently, more and more archival materials are born in digital form. In the past, however, they were created especially as copies of printed books, written documents, etc. Due to the development of technology a large part of archives is digitalizing their traditional collections in order to make access to archival materials more efficient. Once the archives have been digitized, they can be made available on a large scale via the Internet. However, such activities are often not indifferent to the copyright law of a particular country. Sometimes these regulations provide certain rules under which digitization may take place. The problem addressed in the article is very broad. That is why the analysis covers the most important aspects of the issue which have practical value for archival policy. Some topics have been excluded. The article discusses, among others, the problem of making the materials available to the public in digital form. Reference is made to the new legislation, including that concerning orphan works. ]

Author(s): Magdelena Stoyanova,Diego C. Stoyanov,Lilia Pavlova / Language(s): English Issue: XII/2022

An ancient Crucifixion icon has been studied using imaging techniques integrated with appropriated visualizations. Relevant parameters and suitable algorithms have been selected in a proper sequence to segment the studied images into meaningful elements functional to the attribution of the icon through analysis of the employed materials and techniques. The cross-referencing of the results allowed to identify three main phases in the realization of the painting, to describe their extension, character and determine the possible authors as: Cretan/Ionian painters, '500-' 600 (1st phase); Hristofor Žefarović, Western Balkans or Vienna, 1730-1753 (2nd phase); Placido Fabris / Michelangelo Barbini, Venice, mid 19th c. (3rd phase).

Nemateriālais kultūras mantojums un interneta humors

Author(s): Rita Grīnvalde / Language(s): Latvian Issue: 38/2018

This article seeks to give a broad overview as well as analyse the comic manifestations of Latvian intangible cultural heritage in the current online ecosystem. In the era of Web 2.0, humour manifests and spreads through social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and, in Latvia’s case, Draugiem. Despite the global nature of the World Wide Web, national and local characteristics are identifiable linguistically and through shared cultural codes. One of the jobs of the modern folklorist, therefore, is to determine which artefacts will be collected and defined as Internet folklore and which will not, for it is impossible to keep track of all online shared material. Furthermore, because of its ephemeral nature and continual stream of digital-born materials, the sheer size of the data would overwhelm any archival system. These challenges lead to a new way of examining circulating online phenomena. One solution is to focus on larger online trends rather than every single artistic expression of a folkloric nature. Forms of humour have evolved and changed as technology has advanced, and quite possibly the most widespread and well-known form of online cultural humouristic expression is the Internet meme (the term derived from Richard Dawkins’ neologism ‘meme’, 1976). When people use intangible cultural heritage on the Internet for comedic effect, a popular technique is to transform classical folklore texts or create references with typical characters, lexical formulas or narrative motifs. Among the hybridized folklore genres, the most common are: folksongs (trochaic quatrains), beliefs, legends and fairy tales. A special reference source of current Internet humour is the Cabinet of Folksongs (Dainu skapis, 1880), the filing cabinet of Latvian folksongs. Up until now, in Latvian culture and history, it has been cast in the indisputable role as a national treasure. Along with an exploration of the showcase of ‘alternative Cabinets of Folksongs’ (i.e., blogs and social network accounts named after Dainu skapis), the author of the article points at a new outlook of folklorist Krišjānis Barons (1835–1923). In Internet jokes, Barons is portrayed both as a 21st century hipster and a revelling student. One may assume that Internet humour has made it possible to overcome the exaggerated piety and prejudices of inviolability against intangible cultural heritage.

KÜRESEL İLETİŞİM ve ENFORMASYON GÜVENLİĞİ

Author(s): Ali DAĞLAR / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 57/2023

Communication is the process of constantly experiencing the existence of human beings in the universe. The human being who interacts by communicating with his fellows gains an individual identity, becomes socialized and evolves into a social being. Communication is also the human need for self-actualization, belonging, security, esteem and fulfilling physiological needs. Human, whom Aristotle defines as "social being" with the phrase "Zoon Politikon" (political animal), has value only in society, as an extension of it; It is meaningless in nature alone. Living in the Age of Enlightenment with the positive mind symbolized by Descartes' "I Think Therefore I Am" (Cogito Ergo Sum) motto, the human being, who lived in the Age of Enlightenment, increased his dominance over nature and made his hegemony superior to mechanization and technological advances. In this study, the problem of “information security” that emerged with the globalization of communication will be discussed in the context of freedom of the press. The writing plan will proceed in the general definition of keywords, analysis of the problematics of the article, findings and conclusions. In the study, literature review was made as a data collection technique and content analysis method was applied.
