,,SCENOGRAFIA” DISCURSULUI DIDACTIC APARŢINÂND MANUALULUI

Author(s): Laura-Irina Gavriliu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2014

The terms belonging to theatre have been permanently transferred and adapted to various epistemic spaces, in the pursuit of organizing a coherent explanation pattern, the “script” being the “the speaking stage that the discourse involves in order to be produced and that, in exchange, needs to confirm through its utterance” . “The communication discourse” promotes understanding based on inferential reasoning, structured by the fundamental principles of conscious learning whose results will configure the identity of the cognitive structure of the teachable subject. This primary understanding, pertaining to the logical significance, will be a condition for further acceptance of an interpretation course, based on heuristic processes, on the consistent character of learning, reflected within the relationship with the incorporated information belonging to the student’s knowledge. The passage from potential to achievement is dependent on the intention and desire of the sender who has to translate an interior need. As part of the teaching discourse, “the creative discourse” is the practice context of the student’s creative potential, tributary to the development of the “lecture competence” with reference to Romanian as a school subject, aiming at the conscious approval of the interpretation process. This can be described in terms of labor concerning the creation process, the literature context facilitates the relationship between the education subject and various “paratope” belonging to Romanian and universal literature, through which the reaction to the symbolic valences of the literary works can be obvious. The identification process between the reader and the creation substantiated through a “school trial” should start from the re-enactment of the author’s labor process, through a participative activity associated to the questioning labor, organized according to the textbook score. It has to provide the student an understanding and interpretation pattern in order to guarantee a “successful” reading, that should harmonize various interpretation strategies.

DESPRE OAMENI ŞI STILURI

Author(s): Cristinel Munteanu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2014

Buffon is the author ot the most famous definition of style: Le style c’est l’homme même (Style is man himself). Referring to individual style as well, Nicolae Manolescu inverted this sentence, asserting that the statement Man is style (itself) is also valid in some situations. In this paper I aim at showing the extent at which the inverted formula can be applied to functional or collective styles, too. It seems that the way in which the great rhetors described the three types of style theorized in Antiquity (the plain, the middle and the grand), with reference to some human examples of excellent orators, offers us the proofs we were looking for.

IMAGINARUL VIRTUAL AL LOCUINŢEI VS IMAGINARUL LOCUINŢEI VIRTUALE ÎN NOUA CULTURĂ MEDIA

Author(s): Violeta Popa,Sorin Preda / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2014

One of the most sophisticated symbolic buildings of humanity is the shelter. The very moment of projecting its image – from a functional and aesthetical point of view – coincides in fact, with the instant when man chose to live / understood that he has been living in a figurative universe, a universe without which the individual can not survive anymore.Leaving Gutenberg age and entering the Marconi one, man has been letting himself seduced by the new lifestyle. Thus, he starts to perceive himself in a new way and to cultivate a new vision of the entire world. This revelation is projecting in all areas of daily, social, political, religious life and especially in al types of manifestations of national and world culture. This return to an oral culture, this time transmitted on a digital media, requires a new type of individual, of settlement and story.

Cyberbullying awareness in secondary and high-school

Author(s): Melike Kavuk Kalendera / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

This study examines cyberbullying awareness of schools based on the statements of teachers and managers. Survey data were collected from 376 educators in 277 middle and high-schools. The ‘Questionnaire for Cyberbullying Awareness at School’ was used as the data collection tool and data were collected online and analyzed with frequency and percentage statistics. The findings show that: schools have wrong or inadequate strategies concerning recognition and intervention of cyberbullying; techniques for cyberbullying prevention is sufficient, concerning the creation of an anti-cyberbulling school culture and taking technological precautions; however, the creation of an anti-cyberbullying curriculum, and the construction of specific anti-cyberbullying policies for schools, is lacking in teachers’ cyberbullying awareness. It is clear that cyberbullying awareness in secondary schools and high schools in Turkey must be increased.

A series of experiments on humour perception and memorization

Author(s): Stanislava Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Four experiments with 48 participants were conducted to study humour perception and memorization. A computerized method (FVW) from Vienna Test System was used (Kessler, Pietrzyk & Puhr, 2003), as well as humour associations, the recall of three funny stories, a short text evoking admiration and respect. The research was focused on what was associated with the word “humour” and on the types of the best remembered stories. The results indicated that the participants remembered better concrete rather than abstract stimuli, as well as meaningful rather than meaningless stimuli. The participants remembered well short verbal stimuli. They associated humour mainly with positive meaning, positive emotions (joy, happiness, amusement, satisfaction). The participants remembered better and non-intentionally the verbal stories heard by them that they estimated as the funniest compared to the stories estimated by them as less funny or the sentences provoking other positive emotions (admiration and respect). The funniest estimated stories were relevant to their personal experience, no matter if they contained puns or not. The estimated least funny story also contained puns, but contradicted some social norms related to the appropriate behaviour at the workplace.

Burning effigies with Bakhtinian laughter

Author(s): Florian Göttke / Language(s): English Issue: 2/3/2015

The hanging or burning of effigies as an expression of dissent is a well-established genre of playful political protest. It is enacted in a variety of ways, accessing the conventions of various traditional rituals and social practices, and can function either as a progressive force demanding change, or repressively in seeking to enforce the existing order. Building on a close reading of media images of effigy protests from over the world, I relate the employed strategies of reversal and debasement and the grotesque aesthetics of these dummies to Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque. I trace the different kinds of laughter that emerge during the effigy protests and explore the complicated relationship between laughter and violence inherent in these performed images of violent death.

The Writerly Reporter:

Author(s): Lorene M. Birden / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2013

In February of 1914 Saki began to write Potted Parliament (‘potted’ being the English expression for ‘in a nutshell’ or ‘for dummies’) for The Outlook, a London weekly. His commentary contains much satire. Through his tone and barbed comments, he does more than report the speeches and events. He also includes conversations, which are not usually presented in Parliamentary reports. In addition, Saki inserts fictional characters into his reports. Several examples of Saki’s reports and the reasons for and results of his fictional insertions are presented here. This technique allows for the satirical tone mentioned above and allows a mix of styles, from the most reportedly to the most humorous. It makes a distinction between the reportedly voice, which is supposed to be faithful to the facts of the Parliamentary sessions, and the voice of the fictional characters, which can carry the comment and the risk of irresponsibility. These observations suggest that Saki was concerned about a certain form of protection from the censorship of the time and from the average reading public which still took political reporting seriously. Saki’s choice of tones constitutes a departure from habitual political reporting which is refreshing and contributed to a release from earnestness.

Philosophy’s attitude towards the comic.

Author(s): Lydia Amir / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2013

Contrary to common opinion, philosophy’s relations with the comic are profound and complex, yet the nature and significance of this relationship is surprisingly understudied. I have found that the relations that philosophy entertains with the comic can be conceptualised in ten traditions, eight dating from antiquity and two from modern and postmodern times. I trace these traditions from antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and modern times. I explain how the view that philosophy is inimical to the comic originated and invite the reader to re-evaluate philosophy’s attitude towards the comic.

Investigating facial features of four types of laughter in historic illustrations

Author(s): Willibald Ruch,Jennifer Hofmann,Tracey Platt / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2013

This study investigates the facial features of different laughter types in historic illustrations. Several conceptually different types of laughter were proposed in the historic literature, but only four types were represented in visual and verbal illustrations by four or more historic illustrators (joyful, intense, schadenfreude laughter, grinning). Study 1 examined the encoding of facial features in 18 illustrations by the Facial Action Coding System and study 2 investigated the decoding by laypeople. Illustrations of laughter involving a Duchenne Display (DD) were perceived as joyful irrespective of their initial classification. In intense laughter, the intensity of the zygomatic major muscle predicted the perception of intensity, but not the proposed changes in the upper face. In fact, "frowning" seemed to be antagonistic to the perception of joy. Schadenfreude and grinning did not have high recognition rates. Going along with the idea that schadenfreude is either a blend of a positive and negative emotion, or solely joy with attempts of masking it, it may entail additional features beyond the DD. Grinning was best represented by low intensity laughter, narrowed eye aperture and mouth prolonging actions. So far, only the DD could be reliably morphologically differentiated and recognized, supporting Darwin’s proposal of joyful laughter being the laughter prototype.

Въпроси на общата надеждност на система SCADA в корпоративната инфраструктура

Author(s): Tsvetelina Simeonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2020

The paper considers the peculiarities of the SCADA (energy infrastructure management system in the railway infrastructure), as well as issues of the overall dependability in the corporate infrastructure, which is the aim of the study. The study, based on the accepted structure and values of the parameters, examines what depends on and how the readiness factor of a SCADA system changes when the recovery intensity changes and at a fixed failure rate. The results show that with increasing recovery intensity, the readiness factors of the telecommunications network and SCADA system thus defined increase, while reducing the downtime. For a more in-depth study of the overall reliability of the SCADA system, it is necessary to set specific normatively accepted dependability parameters of all connected elements, as well as a real set structure. Based on the fact that with backup resources provided, a defined dependability of the system can be ensured at preset values of the reliability parameters of its components and the backup structure; the opposite problem can also be solved. The proposed approach for studying the reliable behavior of the SCADA system within the corporate infrastructure can be noted as a contribution of the present work and conclusions are made for the practical use of the results.

Author(s): Petko Yakimov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2020

The enduring presence of photometric technology and in particular Lidar 3D scanning systems in CGI's technological tools testify to the potential and development opportunities they possess. But here we will focus on another quality of technology. The opportunities they provide for achieving new visual forms by interpreting nature on the basis of basic features. for direct work and manipulation of raw point clouds massif. The reason - a non-standard visual method for interpreting reality offering an extremely wide range of transformations even in the direction of algorithmic structural modeling. In this article, we will analyze both the tools and the technological practices known to us as "technological hybrids".

Подход за анализ и моделиране на надеждността на мрежовата свързаност от гледна точка на ефективност и неговата приложимост

Author(s): Tsvetelina Simeonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2020

Reliability analysis and assessment methods can be used at any stage of system or component design, including development, operation, and maintenance. Fault Tree-based models and reliability block diagram RBD (qualitative and quantitative) are typically used to provide reliability and readiness assessments for both the early and later stages of design, where system models are more -improved and have more detailed specifications compared to the models of the early stage of the system. On the other hand, models based on the Markov Chain are mainly used in the later design phase. The aim of the work is to define ways to use methods for modeling reliability, with a subsequent goal for analysis taking into account the effectiveness. An approach for modeling the end-to-end network connectivity with different reservations of the connection lines is considered. The results are illustrated by graphical ratios at different influencing parameters, for different reservation methods. A comparative analysis was made using different reservation methods. The practical applicability of the proposed approach and the performed analysis, incl. for training purposes.

Author(s): Tsvetelina Simeonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2020

The aim of the work is to consider and compare the features of distributed systems, SCADA and IIoT. Both SCADA and IoT include sensors and data collection. Although they differ in many respects, they share a common goal. The idea of a smart grid leads to the integration of SCADA and IoT. SCADA is useful for monitoring and managing installations or industrial equipment. The Internet of Things is a collection of physical devices with different implementations, software upgrades, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity, all of which work together to enable objects to connect and exchange data. The focus of the article is the consideration, as distributed systems and in comparative terms, of the development of industrial technologies IoT and SCADA. The presentation will include a summary of the characteristics of these two technologies and a structural-functional analysis of the efficiency in the integration of the latest generations of SCADA systems in the functionality of IoT. The possibilities for integration are shown, as well as the prerequisites for this. The results can be used as recommendations in the areas of design and operation.

Author(s): Yoana Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2020

The research aims to present main methods of digital transformations of physical objects by the means for 3D modelling and 3D scanning. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of laser scanning and the nature of the triangulation methods on which it is based. It is explained how the reliability of the obtained results depends on the calibration process that precedes the 3D scanning of a physical object. Special attention is paid to the technical and software preparation that precedes the 3D scanning process. The practical research is realized using a physical object suitable in terms of construction, shape and size. For the digital transformations is purposefully chosen a real existing spherical robot, which serves as a basis for comparison in assessing the effectiveness of the described methods, as well as the quality and realism of the obtained digital models. The scientific and applied contributions are expressed in a comparative analysis of practical methods, which contains an algorithm of steps suitable for educational purposes for the implementation of the described work processes.

PRIMJENA DRUŠTVENIH MEDIJA U FUNKCIJI SAVREMENOG OBRAZOVANJA MLADIH

Author(s): Nebojša Macanović,Kristina Bobrek-Macanović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 6/2021

Social media today is an indispensable factor in the development of children and the formation of their attitudes, but looking at education, it is still an underused tool, although it offers enormous opportunities in the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Children mostly use the media as a source of entertainment, and the least for educational purposes. Since new generations of students grow up in a completely new information and communication environment, social media is an integral part of their everyday life and they spend most of their time right next to them. Media pedagogy and didactics mostly deal with this issue. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance and application of social media in the education of young people, as well as the role they can play in the implementation of the teaching process. By using social media in education, we are actually creating a new culture of learning that the knowledge society strives for. With a modern approach and the use of social networks, we create a "social mirror" which is an inexhaustible source of information and knowledge, but also an indicator of the level and efficiency of the education system of each country.

OBRAZOVNE TEHNOLOGIJE KAO PODRŠKA U EDUKACIJI MLADIH

Author(s): Helena Lajšić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 6/2021

Teaching with the support of information and communication technologies, multimedia and the Internet must be viewed as a modern teaching system that has great potential and perspective in the future. By applying information and communication technologies, we achieve the possibility of adapting the planned contents to different levels of students' knowledge, which conditions simpler adoption of new material. Teaching with the help of information and communication technologies should be observed as one of the modern approaches that has its adequate role in the educational system. Teachers have a crucial role in that process, because it depends on them the most how much students will acquire knowledge. Professional development programs for teachers in the field of information and communication technologies, multimedia and the Internet should be presented as a special area in the professional development program and introduced as part of the mandatory professional development. The COVID 19 pandemic fundamentally changed the daily lives of people, which also affected the functioning of education systems. The teaching process, almost overnight, switched to various online platforms, TV screens, Viber groups and other media.

ASSESSING THE WAY GENDER NORMS AFFECT TEENAGERS’ BEHAVIOUR IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Author(s): Corina-Maricica SESERMAN / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The internet, together with its associated smart technologies, has a central, and since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic one might even add, essential position in the fluid functionality of social apparatus. This is apparent on multiple facets, but it has especially impacted the way individuals socialise and present themselves in the online space. Although it has been in use for several decades the way the Internet is perceived has changed significantly as now it has presently become an extension of the social front stage. Through the tools offered by social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, users can carefully construct their own digital versions. These characteristics have proven to be highly attractive to teenagers, as social media platforms offer them the possibility of engaging with their peers, uncover various aspects about the environment outside their familiar space and to create a digital identity. All of these aspects prove to be attractive to them as it caters to their need to seek and to have a sense of empowerment and belonging. Gender plays an important role in the process of developing one’s identity and the type of behaviour an individual chooses to present in a social environment, be it digital or otherwise. Previous studies have also pointed out the fact that gender stereotypes and gender norms affect and influence the way individuals perceive others and the type of behaviour they act out. This paper aims to pinpoint a theoretical examination of the way teenagers’ behaviour and digital identity on social media platforms is affected by the way people around them look at and perceive gender.
