A Light Insight into Latvian and Lithuanian ICT Terminology: Whether Kindred Language Imply Kindred Terminology?

2018

Lithuanian and Latvian are two closely related languages, the only two of the Baltic branch of Indo-European languages. They are quite similar and share a great deal of vocabulary and grammar features, but not close enough to make conversation possible. The paper reveals that commonalities between Latvian and Lithuanian information and communication technologies (ICT) terms are mostly due internationalisms, there are only small proportion of terms with common Baltic word-roots; influence of English language in Latvian and Lithuanian ICT terminology is moderate, if not minor; deliberately or unawares, Lithuanian terminologists follow the same rules as their Latvian counterparts.

Introduction to the Book and the Comparative Study

2016

Chapter 1 of Re-Becoming Universities contextualizes and describes the contents of the book based on the study: Change in Networks, Higher Education and Knowledge Societies (CINHEKS). The CINHEKS study was a six country international comparative study focused on the way in which contemporary higher education institutions and networked within and between networked knowledge societies. The countries in focus are Finland, Germany, Portugal, The Russian Federation, The United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Aesthetic Political Thought: Benjamin and Marker Revisited

2003

The complexity of contemporary political life has challenged traditional political theory in several Western democracies. With the emergence of new approaches to the interpretation of political praxis, we are forced to confront issues such as the New Right, the Christian Right, communitarianism, post-liberalism, post-colonialism, post-Marxism, feminism, globalization, and green thought. Many of these approaches continue to both reflect and critically challenge major ideological movements dating back to the beginning of the twentieth century. Since alterations to earlier theories are commonly the result of changes in political, cultural, and social conditions, new approaches to understanding…

Leadership Team Tool for better meaning making

2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to present a Leadership Team Tool for developing reflexivity in the context of leadership teams.Design/methodology/approach– The Leadership Team Tool is based on the theoretical premises of seeing communication as meaning making, and therefore placing discourse and conversation in the center of developing leadership teams.Findings– The paper illustrates how reflexivity can be facilitated through a structured process of using the Leadership Team Tool. An empirical investigation of using the tool in an authentic leadership team setting is warranted to further develop the Leadership Team Tool.Originality/value– The paper makes a practical contribution to s…

Full modal analysis of confocal coaxial elliptical waveguides

2000

An efficient method for analysing confocal coaxial elliptical waveguides is presented. Using elliptical coordinates, the differential Helmholtz equation is transformed into a linear matrix eigenvalue problem by means of the method of moments. The expressions of the vector mode functions for the full spectrum of these guides are constructed, including the TEM, TM and TE modes. The convergence of the method is very good, giving an efficient and accurate code. Comparisons with numerical results found in the technical literature validate the presented theory.

Review of detection, assessment and mitigation of security risk in smart grid

2017

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the existing power grid has created new problems to the grid. The grid network has become more vulnerable to security threats and risk which is a corollary to the modern data network. Smart Grid has strict latency requirement for data communication and the violation of this latency is very costly. This paper assesses the threats and vulnerabilities associated with the Smart Grid network and reviews the methods to mitigate these security risks.

El periodismo católico contra las reformas republicanas sobre enseñanza (1931-1933)

2014

La politización de la prensa española durante la II República fue especialmente intensa entre las cabeceras católicas. Los diarios ABC y El Debate, los dos periódicos conservadores más importantes durante aquellos años, fueron muy activos en las protestas contra las reformas vinculadas con la enseñanza. Sus discursos se sumaban a la propaganda de la reacción y fortalecían la acción de colectivos y organizaciones. Este trabajo analiza una muestra de editoriales y crónicas publicadas por estos periódicos con el objetivo de determinar, por un lado, qué mediaciones llevaron a cabo y, por otro, hasta qué punto su voluntad intervencionista quedó plasmada en sus artículos. Los resultados indican q…

Nuevas formas de expresión en la lírica reciente : el lenguaje literario y la ruptura del horizonte de expectativas

2018

Debido a la idea extendida de que la poesía posmoderna se caracteriza por la preocupación lingüística y por la deconstrucción del proceso creativo, este artículo estudia cómo los poetas españoles nacidos en torno a 1980 trabajan con el lenguaje y con las convenciones del género lírico. En concreto, se centra en la desautomatización de unidades fraseológicas, en las correcciones expresas y en las referencias irónicas al proceso de escritura. Estos tres mecanismos, que albergan una visión desacralizada de la lírica, producen una ruptura de expectativas. La desautomatización de unidades fraseológicas adquiere un interés metalingüístico y metapoético porque se erige en un modo de renovación de …

The effectiveness of leadership development in the military context from a gender viewpoint

2021

In this case study, leadership development is investigated from the viewpoint of women in a military context. In particular, the effectiveness of a leadership development program in a specific context, namely the Finnish Defence Forces, is explored. The program being studied is unique because it is concerned with developing volunteers, not professional soldiers. A longitudinal, interview-based study of the topic was conducted with women who had participated in the program. The data consists of 45 open-ended interviews with 15 women. Each woman was interviewed three times: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the program. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. The result…
