THE REALITY OF PARALLEL TRADE IN CRIMINAL LEGAL TEXTS
Authors: Rima Bellebba , Nourddine Amari
Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim is to highlight the important role of the Supreme Judicial Council in the transfer, appointment, and dismissal of judges, particularly after the adoption of the justice sector modernization plan in Algeria. Additionally, it seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the Supreme Judicial Council through the 2020 constitutional amendment and its effectiveness.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the field of appointing, transferring, promoting, and dismissing judges, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Judicial Council according to the 2020 constitutional amendment. It also examines the council's authority in supervising judicial discipline, which entails criminal, civil, and disciplinary responsibility as stipulated in the organic law and the 2020 Constitution.
 
Method: The objective analytical method was used, as the subject of this study is derived from legal texts and their analysis.
 
Results and Discussion: The Supreme Judicial Council in Algeria continuously reviews its composition and institutions to adapt to the requirements of the constitution and the law. Its independence limits interference from any authority, including the legislative or executive branches, in the judiciary's professional path. This applies to the appointment, transfer, promotion, and dismissal of judges, and also encompasses all matters related to judges.
 
Research Implications: The results indicate that the 2020 Constitution has made the Supreme Judicial Council more adaptable to current developments and strengthened its independence, particularly in relation to the appointment, transfer, promotion, and dismissal of judges. However, it is necessary to ensure that the composition of the Supreme Judicial Council is exclusively comprised of members of the judiciary, and that the position of President of the Supreme Judicial Council is assigned to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to support guarantees.
 
Originality/Value: This study serves as a contribution to the field of judicial independence through the appointment, transfer, promotion, and dismissal of judges. It enhances this specialization and supports independence by referring to the 2020 constitutional amendment. The study is limited and has not been deeply explored before, providing valuable insights into the Supreme Judicial Council's efforts to strengthen judicial independence in light of the 2020 Constitution.
The Corrective Feedback in the Students’ Speaking Ability: A Comparative Study
Authors: Napitupulu Selviana , Napitupulu Fenty Debora , Kisno Kisno
Published: October 2024

This study investigated whether extensive and comprehensive oral recasting is more effective than explicit correction. The primary focus was on how feedback affects English language learning. Recasts that are intensive are defined as those that receive feedback on a single topic, whereas extensive feedback is defined as errors on multiple subjects and domains. Four groups of ten students each were formed from forty students from a Senior High School. A general English book called Think 4, a storybook, and an English grammar book called Grammar in Use were the study's instruments. In line with the study's aims, they were given feedback that was either explicit or implicit, thorough or in-depth. In accordance with the study's aims, they were given feedback that was either explicit or implicit, long or brief. The findings showed that there wasn't much of a difference between students who got implicit and explicit feedback. Additionally, it was discovered that every technique had the same effect on students' capacity to communicate.
Textual Metafunction in The Choir Traditional Spiritual Song “Elijah Rock” By Moses Hogan
Authors: Rajagukguk Rosdiana , Siahaan Sahat Taruli
Published: October 2024

This research explores the textual metafunction of the choir song "Elijah Rock" by Moses Hogan through the lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), employing Suzanne Eggins' model of analysis. By examining the song's lyrical structure, the study aims to uncover how thematic organization, cohesion, and information flow contribute to the overall meaning and emotional impact of the piece. The analysis identifies key thematic elements, such as the recurring motif of "Elijah," as topical theme; the use of other topical themes such as: “come on”, “tell”, “comin’ up”,  “Satan”; “He”; and “I”; the use of textual theme “if” and “Oh” highlights the extensive use of repetition and parallelism, which enhance textual coherence. Through a qualitative content analysis, the research demonstrates how linguistic features not only create a unified text but also resonate with the cultural and historical significance of African American spirituals. The findings reveal that the interplay between textual structure and musical expression plays a vital role in conveying the song's message and engaging audiences. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of linguistics and music, offering valuable insights for future research in both fields.
A Typology Linguistic Study: Is the Sibolga Coastal Dialect Ergative?
Authors: Rezeki Tri Indah , Mulyadi
Published: October 2024

This research explores the existence of ergative language features in the Sibolga Coastal dialect. Qualitative descriptive methods were used to analyze data obtained from nine folktale titles in Bunga Rampai Rakyat Tapanuli Tengah (The anthology of central Tapanuli folktales). Of the nine stories, ten clauses were found to show an ergative pattern, where the subject in the first clause acts as the object in the second clause. The findings show that the Sibolga Coastal dialect language has the characteristics of an ergative language in its structure, with a pattern where the subject of the first clause becomes the object of the following clause. These findings indicate a tendency to use ergative language features in the Sibolga Coastal dialect. This research concludes that the Sibolga Coastal dialect uses ergative language features, although in limited quantities. These findings contribute to understanding the syntactic structure of the Sibolga Coastal language and provide new insights into the phenomenon of ergative language in the local context. The implications of this research include supporting the development of linguistic studies and regional language studies and contributing to language teaching and translation in the region. Future research can be expanded to further investigate the features of ergative language in the Sibolga Coastal dialect and the context of its use in daily interactions.
The Case of Iraq: Artificial Intelligence, Deepfakes, and Disinformation/Sztuczna inteligencja, deepfakes i dezinformacja: Przypadek Iraku
Authors: Segell Glen
Published: October 2024

The problem facing people around the world is the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between facts, opinions, truth, and disinformation. Technology and access to various news sources have exacerbated this problem. There are no regulations on social media, so anyone can say anything, whether it is true or false. This article discusses the latest technological developments that make it difficult for people to determine what is true. This is artificial intelligence (AI). In this article, we will look at artificial intelligence from the research question: What is reality in an unreal world. There are two sections, the first is devoted to theories and the second to the case of Iraq. The contribution of this is that it goes beyond the study of fake news and includes the study of deepfakes. These are fakes in images, videos, or audio recordings. The methodology is deductive based on qualitative data, where the relevance and innovation of the link between theory and the case of Iraq lies in detailing key aspects of conflict management and resolution. Namely, the ways in which disinformation, fake news and deepfakes are used as weapons in sectarian religious conflicts, manipulated to influence elections and thereby exacerbate social divisions, reduce trust in institutions and authorities, and undermine journalism and credible news sources.

Nowe technologie, nowa humanistyka i nowy uczeń-twórca/
Authors: Górny Karolina
Published: October 2024

Artykuł stanowi wprowadzenie do rozważań nad tym, jak nowe technologie i nowa humanistyka mogą zmienić podejście do nauki o literaturze uczniów polskich szkół podstawowych i ponadpodstawowych. Tekst koncentruje się na ukazaniu nowych technologii i nowego sposobu myślenia jako możliwych w polskiej edukacji wariantów pobudzających keratynowość uczniów. Nowe technologie, nowa humanistyka i nowy uczeń-twórca prezentuje świeże podejście do nauczania języka polskiego, a pojęcie ‘nowej humanistyki’ Ryszarda Nycza wdraża nowe spojrzenie na te same zawiłości i pytania (zawarte w podstawie programowej), pozostawiając swobodę ich przeżywania. Czy zatem uczniowie w polskiej szkole mogą być bardziej kreatywni korzystając z nowych technologii i nowej humanistyki? Czy te obszary nauki mogą to ułatwić?The article is an introduction to the consideration of how new technologies and the new humanities can change the approach to learning about literature of Polish elementary and secondary school students. The text focuses on revealing new technologies and new thinking as possible options in Polish education to stimulate students' keratinization. New Technologies, New Humanities and New Student-Creator presents a fresh approach to teaching Polish language, and Ryszard Nycz's notion of 'new humanities' implements a new perspective on the same complexities and questions (included in the core curriculum), leaving freedom to live them out. So, can students in a Polish school be more creative using new technologies and the new humanities? Can these areas of learning facilitate this?
Association Between Pandemic-Related Instructional Delivery Modifications and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) First Attempt Pass Rates
Authors: Hansen Nicole , Foat Charles
Published: October 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic represents a sentinel event for healthcare and healthcare education alike. Mandatory shutdowns of educational institutions, combined with increased demand for skilled healthcare personnel, highlighted pre-existing challenges surrounding how to maintain a stable workforce. To ensure continuity of educational opportunities, many emergency medical services (EMS) educational institutions were forced to modify existing learning method to digital learning formats. This emergent transition unearthed concerns regarding the impacts alternative learning methods would have on entry-level EMS providers' learning outcomes and overall competency levels. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of alternative instructional methods used for EMT education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The study is a retrospective review of prospectively collected data for EMT candidates from a single community college-based EMT program who completed a first attempt of the National Registry EMS Certification examination for EMT candidates from course sections ending between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. Historical pre-COVID first attempt exam outcomes were compared to the first attempt outcomes of two alternative instructional methods –Emergency Remote (ER) and COVID Distance Learning Hybrid (DL).
Results: The outcomes of 237 EMT students were evaluated. Remote and COVID Hybrid DL models compared to the traditional pre-COVID learning format. There was no significant difference in first attempt pass rates between students who participated in traditional learning, the Emergency Remote model (1.53 odds ratio), or the Distance Learning model (2.98 odds ratio).
Conclusions: This study suggests that virtual learning is at least as effective as traditional formats in preparing students for the NREMT examination. Additional research is warranted regarding best practices for applying virtual learning modalities in EMS education.
SDHK meets NER
Authors: Karsvall Olof , Borin Lars
Published: October 2024

Mass digitization of historical text sources opens new avenues for research in the humanities and social sciences, but also presents a host of new methodological challenges. Historical text collections become more accessible, but new research tools must also be put in place in order to fully exploit the new research possibilities emerging from having access to vast document collections in digital format. This paper highlights some of the conditions to consider when place names in an older source material, in this case medieval charters, are to be matched to geographical data. The Swedish National Archives make some 43,000 medieval letters available in digital form through an online search facility. The volume of the material is such that manual markup of names will not be feasible. In this paper, we present the material, discuss the promises for research of linking, e.g., place names to other digital databases, and report on an experiment where an off-the-shelf named-entity recognition system for modern Swedish is applied to this material.
Creative Coding at the arts and crafts school Robotti
Authors: Dufva Tomi
Published: October 2024

The increasing use of digital technologies presents a new set of challenges that, in addition to key economic and societal viewpoints, also reflects similar use in both education and culture. On the other hand, instead of a challenge, digitalisation of our environment can also be seen as new material and a new medium for expression. This article examines creative coding both as a method to better understanding of digital structures, and as the ability for self-expression through digital technology. The research focuses on Käsityökoulu Robotti, a type of art school for children, which offers children teaching on art and technology. Through ethnographic research, this article examines how creative coding works as a teaching method in Käsityökoulu Robotti to promote both artistic expression and a critical understanding of technology.
In search of Soviet wartime interpreters
Authors: Probirskaja Svetlana
Published: October 2024

This paper demonstrates the methodological stages of searching for Soviet wartime interpreters of Finnish in the digital archival resource of the Russian Ministry of Defence called Pamyat Naroda (Memory of the People) 1941–1945. Since wartime interpreters do not have their own search category in the archive, other means are needed to detect them. The main argument of this paper is that conventional manual work must be done and some preliminary information obtained before entering the digital archive, especially when dealing with a marginal subject such as wartime interpreters.
Icelandic Scribes
Authors: McDonald Werronen Sheryl
Published: October 2024

This paper contributes to the conference theme of History and introduces an online catalogue of an early modern library: the main digital output of the author’s individual research project “Icelandic Scribes” (2016–2018 at the University of Copenhagen). The project has investigated the patronage of manuscripts by Icelander Magnús Jónsson í Vigur (1637–1702), his network of scribes and their working practices, and the significance of the library of hand-written books that he accumulated during his lifetime, in the region of Iceland called the Westfjords. The online catalogue is meant to be a digital resource that reunites this library virtually, gives detailed descriptions of the manuscripts, and highlights the collection’s rich store of texts and the individuals behind their creation. The present paper also explores some of the challenges of integrating new data produced by this and other small projects like it with existing online resources in the field of Old Norse-Icelandic studies.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 654825.
Evaluation and refinement of an enhanced OCR process for mass digitisation
Authors: Dannélls Dana , Johansson Torsten , Björk Lars
Published: October 2024

Great expectations are placed on the capacity of heritage institutions to make their collections available in digital format. Data driven research is becoming a key concept within the humanities and social sciences. Kungliga biblioteket’s (National Library of Sweden, KB) collections of digitised newspaper can thus be regarded as unique cultural data sets with information that rarely is conveyed in other media types. The digital format makes it possible to explore these resources in ways not feasible while in printed form. As texts are no longer only read but also subjected to computer based analysis the demand on the correct rendering of the original text increases. OCR technologies for converting images to machine-readable text play a fundamental part in making these resources available, but the effectiveness vary with the type of document being processed. This is evident in relation to the digitisation of newspapers where factors relating to their production, layout and paper quality often impair the OCR production. In order to improve the machine readable text, especially in relation to the digitisation of newspapers, KB initiated the development of an OCR-module where key parameters can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material being processed. The purpose of this paper is to present the project goals and methods.

This paper demonstrates the use of the ESTC as a representation of material history through the extraction and parsing of its data in a way which allows it to be used in social network analysis. In doing this it makes two contributions. The first is methodological, outlining how such a transformation of data is possible. The second is historical, by demonstrating how this data can be used to support historical claims.
Linguistic end-weight is really edge-weight Observing heaviness is a parsed corpus
Authors: Hreinberg Indriðadóttir Ingunn , Ingason Anton Karl
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the relationship between heaviness and optional movement to the edge of a clause – demonstrating how a digitized and syntactically annotated corpus of historical texts can contribute to the study of phenomena associated with linguistic processing. We focus on so-called weight phenomena in word order variation and find that heaviness draws phrases to both edges of a clause – not just the right edge as sometimes assumed.
Historical Settlement Units as Linked Open Data
Authors: Karsvall Olof
Published: October 2024

TORA is a historical geographic register provided by the Swedish National Archives. It is built around the concept Historical settlement unit, referring to villages, hamlets and farms in the medieval and early modern rural society. Currently, approximately fifty percent of all such units in Sweden are covered, which are mentioned in written sources and maps before c. 1800. This article discusses and presents the definition and the method of the core concept. Using linked data technologies, the goal is to increase, simplify and improve the use of historical sources in research and applications.
Open Source Tesseract in Re-OCR of Finnish Fraktur from 19th and Early 20th Century Newspapers and Journals
Authors: Kettunen Kimmo , Koistinen Mika
Published: October 2024

This paper presents work that has been carried out in the National Library of Finland to improve optical character recognition (OCR) quality of a Finnish historical newspaper and journal collection 1771–1910. Work and results reported in the paper are based on a 500 000 word ground truth (GT) sample of the Finnish language part of the whole collection. The sample has three different parallel parts: a manually corrected ground truth version, original OCR with ABBYY FineReader v. 7 or v. 8, and an ABBYY FineReader v. 11 re-OCRed version. Based on this sample and its page image originals we have developed a re-OCRing process using the open source software package Tesseract1 v. 3.04.01. Our methods in the re-OCR include image preprocessing techniques, usage of morphological analyzers and a set of weighting rules for resulting candidate words. Besides results based on the GT sample we present also results of re-OCR for a 29 year period of one newspaper of our collection, Uusi Suometar.
The paper describes the results of our re-OCR process including the latest results. We also state some of the main lessons learned during the development work.

Combining hermeneutic and computer based methods for investigating reliability of historical texts
Authors: Güney Alptug , Vertan Cristina , Hahn Walther v.
Published: October 2024

Within the framework of the project HerCoRe we are analyzing two historical works from 18th century “History of Rise and Decay of the Otoman Empire” and “Description of Moldavia” (both written by Dimitrie Cantemir) and investigate them with regard to the historiography of its time. We evaluate the usage of sources by the author and also the reliability of his references. We also seek to shed more light on the motivation behind the writing-process of these works by taking into account the political and cultural dynamics of the time and the position of Cantemir within the Ottoman elite. To determine missing or incorrectly translated parts of the work, the German and English translations are also compared with a copy of the Latin manuscripts. This comparative approach serves also to discuss the causes of the (un)conscious mistakes and omissions in the translations. We are performing this study by means of hermeneutic and IT approaches.
Short Texts in the Corpus of Early Written Latvian
Authors: Andronova Everita
Published: October 2024

The paper introduces the Corpus of early written Latvian ‘SENIE’ (16th-18th cc.). This corpus provides access to texts which are scattered acrossdifferent libraries and archives and which therefore have not been much investigated. The corpus is an important resource for linguists (whom is the main user community at the moment), but it can also provide some knowledge in culture and social studies. The corpus-building methodology is presented, giving insight into the enrichment of the variety of text registers by adding shorter texts: individual texts such as occasional poetry, Latvian texts found in sources written in other foreign languages, and shorter texts in Latvian appended to some individual Latvian sources.
Emotional Imprints
Authors: F. Baunvig Katrine , Jarvis Oliver , L. Nielbo Kristoffer
Published: October 2024

Undertaking a distant reading of letter-spacings in the digitized and annotated N.F.S. Grundtvig data, this paper targets a trait of an overall romanticist emotionalizing trend in a corpus of 19th century literature: It proposes to analyze the letter-spacings as a deposition of heightened attention to subjective emotional experience in printed matter and typesetting in the writings of the Danish poet, priest and politician N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783–1872), who is widely regarded as the central figure in the 19th century Danish religious development and nation building process. As such this paper sketches the temporal and semantic contexts of the letter-spacings.
CLARIN in Latvia
Authors: Skadiņa Inguna , Auziņa Ilze , Grūzītis Normunds , Znotiņš Artūrs
Published: October 2024

Qualitative and reliable language resources and natural language processing tools are key elements for research in digital humanities (DH). Several research infrastructures, e.g., CLARIN, DARIAH, provide access to the digital research objects around Europe and beyond. Although these are pan-European research infrastructures, availability of content and the readiness of the particular node varies from country to country. This paper aims to present the current status of the CLARIN research infrastructure in Latvia – key language resources and tools identified, readiness of the technical infrastructure, first steps to collaboration with DH researchers and initiatives on user involvement and education. Being an active participant of the CLARIN initiative during its preparation phase, Latvia joined CLARIN ERIC only four years after its establishment. This fouryear gap puts Latvia’s CLARIN node in a construction phase, while in many countries CLARIN is already operational. Although CLARIN Latvia is in a construction phase, researchers of Latvia already now can benefit from the language resources and tools from different members of CLARIN ERIC through single sign-on.
Analyzing Candidate Speaking Time in Estonian Parliament Election Debates
Authors: Talts Siim , Alumäe Tanel
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we analyze the amount of speaking time by each candidate and political party during the election debates that aired in broadcast media during the Estonian 2019 parliament election campaign, using automatic speaker identification. We use automated methods for retrieving speech recordings from publicly available sources that are likely to contain speech by the target speakers, and apply a weakly supervised method for training speaker recognition models from such data. The experiments show that the resulting models have high precision but they lack in recall. While most candidates from large and established parties could be identified automatically, candidates from smaller and newer parties could not be recognized, due to their little prior media presence. Our system allows to identify candidates who spoke for the longest time in the election debates. The analysis shows that the election debates were not biased from the speaking time point of view: all major political parties received relatively similar speaking time across the debates.
“Sampo” Model and Semantic Portals for Digital Humanities on the Semantic Web
Authors: Hyvönen Eero
Published: October 2024

This paper presents the vision and longstanding work in Finland on creating a national Cultural Heritage ontology infrastructure and semantic portals based on Linked Data on the Semantic Web. In particular, the “Sampo” series of semantic portals is considered, including CultureSampo (2009), TravelSampo (2011), BookSampo (2011), WarSampo (2015), BiographySampo (2018), NameSampo (2019), WarWictimSampo (2019), FindSampo (2019), MMM (2020), LawSampo (2020), AcademySampo (2020), and ParliamentSampo (2022). They all share the “Sampo model” for publishing Cultural Heritage content the Semantic Web that typically involves three components: 1) A “business model” for harmonizing, aggregating, and publishing heterogeneous, distributed contents based on a shared ontology infrastructure. 2) An approach to interface design, where the data can be re-used and accessed independently from multiple application perspectives, while the data resides in a single SPARQL endpoint. 3) A two-step model for accessing and analyzing the data where the focus of interest is first filtered out using faceted semantic search, and then visualized or analyzed by ready-to-use Digital Humanities tools of the portal. This model has been proven useful in practise: Sampo portals have attracted lots users from tens of thousands to millions depending on the Sampo. It is argued that the next step ahead could be portals for serendipitous knowledge discovery where the tools, based on AI techniques, are able to find automatically serendipitous, “interesting” phenomena and research questions in the data, and even solve problems with explanations.
Adapting a Topic Modelling Tool to the Task of Finding Recurring Themes in Folk Legends
Authors: Skeppstedt Maria , Domeij Rickard , Skott Fredrik
Published: October 2024

A topic modelling tool, which was originally developed for performing text analysis on very short texts written in English, was adapted to the text genre of Swedish folk legends. The topic modelling tool was configured to use a word space model trained on a Swedish corpus, as well as a Swedish stop word list. The stop word list consisted of standard Swedish stop words, as well as 380 additional stop words that were tailored to the content of the corpus and therefore also included older spelling versions and grammatical forms of Swedish words. The adapted version of the tool was applied on a corpus consisting of around 10,000 Swedish folk legends, which resulted in the automatic extraction of 20 topics. Future versions of the tool will be extended with text summarisation functionality, in order to retain the text overview provided by the tool also when it is applied on longer folk legends.
Discourse on Safety/Security in the Parliamentary Corpus of Latvian Saeima
Authors: Skulte Ilva , Kozlovs Normunds
Published: October 2024

The discourse on (individual and public) safety and (social) security in the political communication has an impact on community feelings through the ideas of risk and emergency. Indeed, the many aspects of insecurity / un-safety make this to be elaborated in speeches as a rather manifold and complex concept. How is this conceptual nexus used and perceived in the speeches of MP’s of Latvian parliament, and what impact it may have had on political discourse in general and construction of identities and power relations between political elites and the people in this discourse? These are the main issues addressed in this research that combines critical discourse analysis and corpus analysis tool created for Corpus of Debates in Latvian parliament - Saeima (1993 – 2017) (http://saeima.korpuss.lv/)). Findings show that the discourse on safety and security is provided by Latvian MP’s mainly from protectionist point of view. The main stream of discourse indicate the uses of the meaning of ‘security’ or “the state of being free from danger or threat”; this is why it is sometimes referred to as taken for granted or the term is often used in Saeima debates in both administrative and populist contexts.
Digital Maps for Linguistic Diversity
Authors: Cocq Coppélie , Granstedt Lena , Lindgren Eva , Lindgren Urban
Published: October 2024

Documenting and analyzing how multilingualism materializes around us gives insights in the use, hierarchies and inclusions of languages in society. The visualization of these insights, however, is often challenging as characteristics of languages, their flows, movements etc. demand contextualization and clarifications that can be difficult to render on a visualization model such as a map. This paper discusses the challenges of visualization and the potentials of digital maps in Linguistic Landscape Studies. We suggest to include and integrate various layers of qualitative and quantitative data in order to strive for rendering the dynamism of language use.

The workshop Digital Parliamentary Data in Action (DiPaDA 2022) was organised in Uppsala on March 15, 2022, co-located with the 6th Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries Conference (DHNB). These workshop proceedings reflect the aims of the workshop to foster interaction and stimulate conversations between humanities, social sciences, and computational sciences – representing scholars from the Nordic region and beyond that work with digital parliamentary data. The contributions in the proceedings present results of ongoing research on creating and using historical and present parliamentary data to study parliamentary culture, politics, language use, and the media. Moreover, the contributions offer novel perspectives on applying, curating, and representing this key societal data, anddiscuss the future opportunities and challenges in such research.
Deep Learning and Film History
Authors: Ginter Filip , Kiiskinen Harri , Kanerva Jenna , Chang Li-Hsin , Salmi Hannu
Published: October 2024

We demonstrate the application of a deep-learning -based regressor, on a case study of predicting movie production year based on its plot summary. We show how the Integrated Gradients (IG) model explanation method can be used to attribute the predictions to individual input features and compare these to human-assigned attributions. Our purpose is to provide an insight into the application of modern NLP methods in the scope of a digital humanities research question, and test the model explanation techniques on a problem that is easy to understand, yet non-trivial for both humans and machine learning algorithms alike. We find that the model clearly outperforms non-expert human annotators, being able to date the movies well within the correct decade on average. We also demonstrate that the model-assigned attributions agree with those assigned by humans, especially for correct predictions.
Studying the Historical Semantics of Finnishness with a Bigram Approach
Authors: Marjanen Jani , Kanner Antti , Mäkelä Eetu
Published: October 2024

Our paper analyzes the historical understanding of Finland and Finnishness as it was expressed in newspapers published in the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. As the period saw the decimation of the Swedish Kingdom and establishment of the Grand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire, a change in language use can be expected, but the changes occurring are rather fine-grained and difficult to detect without a systematic and transparent charting of the data. This paper suggests a method based on the analysis of bigrams to study this type of semantic change. Many existing methods are designed to navigate massive amounts of linguistic data and do well in solving computational tasks, but are not always a good match for the kind of historiographical questions such as ours. More broadly, we establish that the application of Finnish can in principle refer to the categories of language, geography, nationhood, statehood, and territoriality. Our analysis shows that especially the categories of language and state underwent a gradual shift in the period from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century.
Digital Humanities and Military History

This paper shows how various prosopographical phenomena can be highlighted and visualized in the WarSampo Knowledge Graph that contains rich data about Finland in the Second World War as Linked Open Data, including detailed metadata of more than 100 000 people. WarSampo Portal contains tools for simple prosopographical data analysis of the person registers, and accessing the SPARQL endpoint directly opens up further possibilities in using the ontology infrastructure for enhanced information retrieval and pursuing digital humanities studies. This paper overviews of these possibilities of WarSampo, and presents examples of how it, and by extension Linked Data more generally, can be used to created data analyses to support historical research.

Authors: Mei Paulo Afonso , Stefane Claudia Aparecida
Published: October 2024

Objective: We report data of the profile of patients who sought our outpatient clinic for sleep disorders of the Faculty of Medicine of São Leopoldo Mandic Medical School, during the Week of Sleep, that took place in March, 2022. Methods: All participants responded to a form designed by the researcher, as well as to commonly used questionnaires in Sleep Research, such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the STOP-BANG questionnaire for screening of apnea, and the WHO Quality of Life abbreviated questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Results: 30 patients were evaluated, mean age 51.8 (± 14), 63% women. Main complaints were insomnia (63%), snore/apnea (23%) and excessive daytime sleepiness (10%). ESS scores were significantly higher among men, daytime nappers and alarm clock users. ISI scores were importantly associated with those who woke 2 or more times per night, while physically active, non-obese, normotensive people and those with Modified Mallampatti (MM) classes I and II scored significantly less in STOP-BANG. Obese, MM classes III-IV and people with abnormal cervical and abdominal circumferences performed markedly worse in Domain 1, while women, older people and alarm clock users went worse in Domain 4 of WHOQOL-BREF. Discussion: One or more sleep disturbances were detected in all seekers of Sleep Care, emphasizing the importance of these types of action.

Este estudo investiga o impacto da participação de estudantes em eventos de inovação no desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras, utilizando a Campus Party Brasil 2023 como estudo de caso. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualiquantitativa, combinando dados primários obtidos por meio de questionários aplicados a 25 estudantes, com dados secundários extraídos de revisão da literatura. A análise dos dados foi conduzida utilizando o método de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2004), com as etapas de pré-análise e codificação. A triangulação entre dados primários e secundários garantiu a validade dos achados. Os resultados indicam que eventos de inovação oferecem um ambiente favorável ao desenvolvimento de habilidades como resolução de problemas, criatividade, liderança e trabalho em equipe. O estudo avança a literatura ao oferecer evidências empíricas que reforçam a importância de integrar experiências práticas, como hackathons e maratonas de empreendedorismo, no currículo formal de educação empreendedora. Além disso, destaca o papel desses eventos na formação de redes de contato e na ampliação das oportunidades de estágio e emprego para os estudantes, o que não é amplamente abordado em estudos anteriores. Ao examinar a interação entre teoria e prática no desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras, este trabalho contribui para um entendimento mais aprofundado de como eventos de inovação podem complementar a formação acadêmica, proporcionando uma formação interdisciplinar e preparando os estudantes para os desafios do mercado. O estudo sugere que a inclusão sistemática de eventos, como a Campus Party, nos programas educacionais pode ser uma estratégia eficaz para fortalecer o aprendizado experiencial e fomentar a mentalidade empreendedora.
Determination of Color Preferences and Trend Colors in Hotel Room Interior Design
Authors: Özsavaş Uluçay Nilay
Published: October 2024

Buildings and environmental colors create differences in perception, both psychologically and physically. Colors interact with and have an impact on the form, space components, surroundings, materials textures, space lighting, the size of the surfaces, and the function and aesthetics of the space. Color preference varies according to personality traits, age and gender, habits and experiences, fashion, and style. The research is aimed to determine the color preferences and trends in hotel interior designs. Many hotel projects are designed and completed throughout the world every year. In this context, project designs awarded in international competitions were selected. To collect the data for the study, details of award-winning hotel interior designs available through competition websites are reviewed and the Adobe Color analytical tool is employed to characterize the color schemes reflected in the designs. Adobe Color is more successful than other tools in creating color schemes, such as the color wheel, gradient extraction, and theme extraction, suitable for all color selection methods, including colorful, bright, muted, deep, and dark options. As a result of this study, based on the designs awarded in 2022, it was determined that blue, red, and green colors were most frequently used, respectively. Furthermore, the data suggest that all colors were used in pastel tones, with light shades of blue mixed with different grays being used more frequently, while red and green generally were used in darker tones. The results were significantly correlated with the theoretical research and studies on user preferences.
Lazy or different? A quantitative content analysis of how believers and nonbelievers of misinformation reason

Widespread belief in claims that run counter to substantial scientific evidence—like climate change is a hoax, and the earth is flat—can have harmful societal consequences. Understanding the reasoning behind these beliefs is crucial for mitigating their spread. Across two studies, we used quantitative content analysis to compare how believers (Fringe) and non-believers (Mainstream) of implausible claims reason about evidence. After reading a fictitious report of either high or low quality from a forensic expert (Study 1; N = 183) or doctor (Study 2; N = 193), and rating the expert, participants explained the reasoning behind their ratings. We analysed the quantity and quality of these responses. There was mixed evidence suggesting that Fringe believers' responses were less effortful than Mainstream responses. However, we found consistent evidence that Fringe believers provided significantly fewer normative justifications and weak evidence that they provided significantly more self-generated justifications. These results suggest that Fringe believers rely less on conventional indicators of evidence quality. Differences in how people evaluate information may explain why some adopt implausible beliefs, and framing information in ways that resonate with Fringe believers may help reduce the spread of false claims.

A Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) kóroktanú járványok már az 1970-es évek óta súlyos károkat okoznak a délkelet-ázsiai és a kínai sertéságazatban. Az elmúlt évtizedben Észak-Amerikában is leírtak már a baktérium által okozott septicaemia miatti, jelentős mortalitással járó eseteket. Európában ez idáig mindössze két, hasonló tünetekkel járó SEZ oktanú járványkitörésről számoltak be. A szerzők esetleírásukban a kelet-közép-európai régió első dokumentált SEZ okozta járványkitörését ismertetik, amely során egy nyugat-magyarországi ökológiai gazdálkodású sertéstelepen kocák vetélését és hirtelen elhullását tapasztalták.
