Determinants of web site information by Spanish city councils
2008
PurposeThe purpose of this research is to analyse the web sites of large Spanish city councils with the objective of assessing the extent of information disseminated on the internet and determining what factors are affecting the observed levels of information disclosure.Design/methodology/approachThe study takes as its reference point the existing literature on the examination of the quality of web sites, in particular the provisions of the Web Quality Model (WQM) and the importance of content as a key variable in determining web site quality. In order to quantify the information on city council web sites, a Disclosure Index has been designed which takes into account the content, navigabili…
Knowledge Representation on the Web Revisited: The Case for Prototypes
2016
Recently, RDF and OWL have become the most common knowledge representation languages in use on the Web, propelled by the recommendation of the W3C. In this paper we examine an alternative way to represent knowledge based on Prototypes. This Prototype-based representation has different properties, which we argue to be more suitable for data sharing and reuse on the Web. Prototypes avoid the distinction between classes and instances and provide a means for object-based data sharing and reuse.
O ks. Antonim Korczoku (1891–1941) w 80. rocznicę jego męczeńskiej śmierci (nowe ustalenia)
2022
Z okazji mijającej w ubiegłym roku 80. rocznicy męczeńskiej śmierci ks. Antoniego Korczoka (5 lutego 1941 r.), jaką poniósł za wiarę w obozie koncentracyjnym w Dachau, zarówno w Gliwicach, jak i na terenie diecezji gliwickiej, przeżywano „Rok ks. Antoniego Korczoka”. W czasie organizowanych spotkań, w tym konferencji międzynarodowej (2 października 2021 r.), raz jeszcze przypomniano historię jego świątobliwego życia i okoliczności męczeńskiej śmierci. Przy okazji lokalni historycy ponownie przyjrzeli się osobie przedwojennego proboszcza z Gliwic-Sośnicy, próbując rozwiązać zawiłości związane z historią jego życia. W taki sposób, dzięki przeprowadzonej kwerendzie archiwalnej i na podstawie w…
Automatic detection and agronomic characterization of olive groves using high-resolution imagery and LIDAR data
2014
The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union grants subsidies for olive production. Areas of intensified olive farming will be of major importance for the increasing demand for oil production of the next decades, and countries with a high ratio of intensively and super-intensively managed olive groves will be more competitive than others, since they are able to reduce production costs. It can be estimated that about 25-40% of the Sicilian oliviculture must be defined as “marginal”. Modern olive cultivation systems, which permit the mechanization of pruning and harvest operations, are limited. Agronomists, landscape planners, policy decision-makers and other professionals have a grow…
Public engagements with Lapland’s Dark Heritage: Community archaeology in Finnish Lapland
2018
Research project Lapland’s Dark Heritage organized a one-week public excavation in Inari, Finnish Lapland, at a Second World War (WWII) German military hospital site in August 2016. #InariDig took place with the help of international experts and pre-registered volunteers. In this field report, two of the archaeologists leading the excavations and an ethnographer who took part in documenting this community archaeology experiment introduce the excavation sites and activities reflecting on the engagements with volunteers and local community. peerReviewed
German and Austrian occupant literature on the Sami in Norway and Lapland – “Harmless” minority, a resource, and well-off “reindeer kings”
2020
Source at http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:jyu-202006234344. In previous research on the history of the Second World War in Finland and Norway, relations between the German and Austrian occupying forces and the Sami people have generally been considered to be good. The occupant gaze upon the Sami has been interpreted as exoticizing and “touristic”. Historical encounters and the Sami position in the literary discourse are discussed and explained in this article, using a selection of German and Austrian wartime and post-war literature. The discursive reading the sources bear evidence of multiple ways of relating to the Sami, from benign to racializing; from demeaning to one filled with surprise at un…
Landscapes of loss and destruction: : Sámi elders’ childhood memories of the second world war
2019
The so-called Lapland War between Finland and Germany at the end of the Second World War led to a mass-scale destruction of Lapland. Both local Finnish residents and the indigenous Sámi groups lost their homes, and their livelihoods suffered in many ways. The narratives of these deeply traumatic experiences have long been neglected and suppressed in Finland and have been studied only recently by academics and acknowledged in public. In this text, we analyze the interviews with four elders of one Sámi village, Vuotso. We explore their memories, from a child’s perspective, scrutinizing the narration as a multilayered affective process that involves sensual and embodied dimensions of memory. ©…
Ivy and Bones: ruins and reversibility during the Blitz
2012
"Ivy and bones: ruins and reversibility during the Blitz" examines how the representation of the ruins of the Blitz is informed by the aesthetic and semiotic tension between abstraction, modernist purity and picturesque accretion. Subsequently building on the notion of reversibility, it explores the way wartime destruction and/or cultural decline is recorded as well as counteracted and compensated for in works by Elizabeth Bowen, Herbert Furst, Claire Leighton, Rose Macaulay, John Piper, and Virginia Woolf. The trope of reversibility provides a template to consider some of the sites where aesthetic conflicts are re-enacted, from blitzed spaces to the printed page as threatened modernist art…
