Kesalahan Penalaran Berbahasa Indonesia sebagai Bahasa Ketiga Penutur Venezuela
Authors: Ardiansyah Roely , Harjanti Fransisca Dwi
Published: December 2023

Penelitian ini mengaji kesalahan penalaran berbahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa penutur Venezwela. Objek penelitian ini berupa bahasa Indonesia sebagai B-3. Tujuan penelitian ini membahas 1) generalisasi yang terluas, 2) kerancuan analogi, 3) kekeliruan kausalitas, dan 4) kesalahan relevansi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, sedangkan data penelitian ini berupa kalimat dalam paragraf. Sumber data penelitian, yakni tiga penutur Venezwela. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh, 1) penutur sering melakukan salah nalar generalisasi terlalu luas karena dalam mengungkapkan gagasan berupa data-data yang disajikan kurang lengkap dan masih terlalu umum; 2) salah nalar kerancuan analogi terjadi bila penutur menganalogikan sesuatu dengan yang lain dengan anggapan persamaan satu dari beberapa segi akan memberikan kepastian persamaan pada segi yang lain; 3) salah nalar kekeliruan kausalitas terjadi, karena penutur salah dalam menentukan sebab-akibat dari suatu peristiwa atau hasil dari suatu kejadian; dan 4) salah nalar kesalahan relevansi terjadi, karena struktur bahasa Spanyol berbeda dengan struktur bahasa Indonesia. Perbedaan struktur bahasa itu menjadi kendala bagi penutur menyampaikan gagasan dalam tulisannya.

Hotel Costing vs. Accounting Costing System
Authors: Murcia Andrés Paredes , Rozo Marcia Fernanda Vergara , Forero Jorge Alexander Mora
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study contrasts the costing process applied in four-star hotels in Bogota with the traditional costing systems identified and used in academic training processes.
 
Theoretical Framework: From the different definitions of cost, reference is always made to the necessary capital expenditures in the company, directly associated with the product or good that is produced, which must be easily identifiable and must also be recoverable at the time of sale of a product.At this point it is important to clarify that the term “cost” is understood as a measure of the consumption of resources related to the demand of the work and activities to be performed, while “expense” is a measure of consumption related to the capacity provided to perform the work, activity and/or process (Mejía & Salazar, 2015, p. 51). In a similar context, Rodriguez (2008) refers to expenditure as the cash outflow within a hotel related to sales and administration departments, and supports the relationship of the cost for manufacturing the product.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The focus of the research process was mixed, given the combination of quantitative data collected, as well as the analysis of opinions, facts and contrasts obtained in the process of collecting information that constitute qualitative notes on the latest experiences lived by the group of experts in the development of their functions within the hotels. The variables shown in Figure 3 were present in this information gathering and evaluation process.
 
Findings: Within the results presented, a costing system is differentiated from a costing process showing the relevant variables necessary to be called a “system”.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The pandemic generated by Covid-19 was a limiting factor for reaching this group of hotels and caused the closure of establishments and the cessation of operations in most of the lodging companies. The research group mitigated this fact by convening a group of 17 people to a focus group, as experts, validating them through their work experience since they have held positions in hotels as accountants, cost managers and controllers.
 
Originality/Value: A sample of 43.3% of the four-star hotels in the city of Bogotá D.C. was used, where instruments were applied to present the results that were analyzed with context analysis matrices.

It proposes a comprehensive strategic teaching plan, establishing the necessary competencies for teachers and providing specific guidance towards the creation and management of family businesses.
THE BOUNDARIES OF NON-HUMAN COMMUNICATION IN CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICES
Authors:   GITR Film&Television school, Denikin Anton A. ,   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the practices of non-human communication, defined as an attempt by philosophers and artists to present the world not through human eyes and to talk about ways of communication beyond the limits of human relations and human understanding. Using the example of a number of contemporary art projects, the strategies of deanthropization of an art object and exclusion of its external evaluation by the subject-viewer are analyzed. Despite the ingenuity in the artists' desire to take the “independent” viewer out of the brackets of artistic communication, the call for the actualization of non-human interactions in art practices remains part of the discourse on communications, which means that, although specific, it is still a variant of human communication. Although artists who are fond of object-oriented ontology and other non-human philosophies strive to present any objects outside of direct connection with a person, most of their implicit project (which is especially noticeable in art practices) consists in rethinking human activity, which means that non-human communication remains sufficiently human.
ARTISTIC VISUALIZATION OF DIGITAL MEMORY IN CONTEMPORARY MEDIA ART
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Zakharchenko Irina N. , Shchedrina Olga M. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2023

The engagement of researchers and artists with the issue of memory in the digital culture is linked to the recognition of a qualitatively new role of technology in shaping the structures of contemporary human consciousness. The total digitalization of socio-cultural space not only alters the configuration of memory structures but also creates a situation where the cultural space itself becomes entirely dependent on them. In addition to academic research on digital memory (Digital Memory Studies, DMS), media artists are exploring its interpretation by creating artistic models of digital memory. The aim of the article is to present artistic experiences of visual modeling of digital memory in modern media art as a response to multi-level transformations in memory structures, using the work of well-known representatives of contemporary technological artistic practices such as Woody Vasulka, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Refik Anadol as examples.
VIETNAM SYNDROME AND AMERICAN CINEMA OF 1970-s
Authors:   State Institute of Cinema and Television, Artyukh Anzhelika A.
Published: December 2023

This article examines American films of the 1970s that explore the theme of the Vietnam War. The  1970s were a turning point, not only in terms of understanding the Vietnam syndrome, but also creating new models of war cinema that heavily influenced directors of the subsequent decades. Directors who explored the Vietnam War included not only well-known filmmakers from Hollywood, but also directors of small-budget, independent films, which reflected no less deeply on the Vietnam syndrome, the traumatic experience of the war, and the new type of violence that it created. The films of the subsequent decades built upon many discoveries of this period, helping future generations of moviegoers to not only comprehend the Vietnam war experience, but also to transcend a state of despair and defeatism in the face of war. The interdisciplinary method of this article will analyze these films about the Vietnam War through a historical, political and film studies lens, as well as engage aspects of gender and psychology to understand the cultural dynamics of the period, discourses of masculinity, dictatorship, submission, and the archetype of apocalypse.
Otras autonomías posibles en comunidades rebeldes y resistentes de Chiapas
Authors: Sánchez Carrillo Oscar , Huacash Vázquez Andrés
Published: December 2023

El concepto de autonomía goza de un amplio abanico de definiciones. En Chiapas se le asocia ineludiblemente al movimiento neozapatista y a sus comunidades en resistencia. Las autonomías comunitarias indígenas tienen su primera expresión en las luchas por la tierra en la década de los años setenta; en los ochenta surgen diversas movilizaciones comunitarias alrededor de los derechos políticos. En los noventa se origina una efervescencia de autonomías comunitarias propiciadas por el movimiento político del EZLN. El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de visibilizar otras autonomías escindidas del zapatismo. Partiremos de dos ejemplos, una comunidad chol de Sabanilla y otra tsotsil del municipio de Huixtán.

Published: December 2023

Yeşil dış kabuklu ve sert kabuklu badem örneklerinin konvektif sıcak hava kurutucuda 1 m s-1 hava hızında ve 45-60°C hava sıcaklığında kurutma özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla deneysel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Azalan hız periyodunda yeşil dış kabuklu ve sert kabuklu badem örneklerinden nem transferi, Fick difüzyon modeli uygulanarak tanımlanmış ve efektif difüzyon katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Efektif difüzyon katsayısının sıcaklığa olan bağımlılığı Arrhenius tip ilişki ile tanımlanmıştır. Yeşil dış kabuklu ve sert kabuklu badem örneklerinin aktivasyon enerjisi sırasıyla 30.87 ve 28.05 kJ mol-1 olarak bulunmuştur. Örneklerin deneysel kurutma verileri için Page, Logarithmic, Two-term, Approximation of diffusion ve Midilli ve ark. modelleri kullanılmıştır. Test edilen modellerin kuruma hızı sabitleri ve katsayıları doğrusal olmayan regresyon analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Yeşil dış kabuklu ve sert kabuklu badem örneklerinin kuruma karakteristiklerini belirlemek için test edilen beş model arasından Midilli ve ark. kurutma modeli, elde edilen deneysel verilere en iyi uyumu sağlamıştır. Taze ve kurutulmuş badem örneklerinin su aktivitesi (aw) değerleri, raf ömrü kriteri olarak farklı ortam hava sıcaklıklarında değerlendirilmiştir. Yeşil dış kabuklu ve sert kabuklu badem örneklerinin kurutma entalpisi (H) ve entropisi (S) değerleri, hava sıcaklığının artmasıyla azalırken, Gibbs serbest enerjisi (G) hava sıcaklığındaki artışla artmıştır.

Authors: TOPCU Yavuz , GÜLER Tuba
Published: December 2023

Araştırmanın amacı, mahreç işaretli Erzurum Kadayıf Dolması profillerinin tasarlanması ve her bir tüketici kümesi için mamul profillerinden sağlanan toplam faydaların hesaplanarak, maksimum faydanın belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçlar için Erzurum ilinde ikamet eden ve Erzurum Kadayıf Dolması tüketen tüketicilerden elde edilen birincil veriler, ana materyal olarak kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, tüketim sıklıklarına göre homojen tüketici kitlelerini oluşturmak için kümeleme analizi ve her bir kitlenin toplam faydasını hesaplanmak için de Conjoint Analiz (CA) tabanlı seçim modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, antepfıstığı ile hazırlanan büyük boy ev yapımı kadayıf dolmasının yerel marka altında orta fiyat seviyesinden (140₺) restoranlardan satın alan düşük düzeyde Erzurum Kadayıf Dolması tüketen tüketicilerin toplam faydasını maksimum kılan ürün profili olduğunu göstermiştir. Diğer taraftan ılımlı ve yoğun düzeyde bu mamulü tüketen tüketicilerin toplam faydalarını maksimum kılan ürün profili ise ceviz içi ile hazırlanmış orta boy ev yapımı kadayıf dolmasının ulusal marka altında düşük fiyat seviyesinden (120₺) imalatçı satış mağazaları olarak analiz edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla her bir tüketici kitlesinin toplam faydalarını maksimum kılan ürün profillerinin ulaşılabilir perakendecilerde arzı, hem tüketicilerin maksimum fayda sağlayabilmelerine hem de üreticilerin kısa arz zincirinde gıda güvenliği ve güvencesi açısından sürdürülebilir üretim ile daha yüksek kazançların sağlanmasına olanak sağlayabilecektir.

Authors: GÜL Latife Betül , GÜL Osman
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada ön işlem olarak ozmotik dehidrasyon (OD) ve vakum emdirme (VE) uygulamalarının birlikte kullanılmasının kırmızı pancarda kütle transferi, kurutma kinetiği ve kalite özellikleri üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla dilimler halinde pancara %40 ve %60 sükroz çözeltisinde OD işlemi uygulanmıştır. OD işlemi ilk 20 dakika boyunca vakumlu (OD-VE) veya vakum uygulamasız olarak toplam 180 dakika boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. OD ön işlemi uygulanmayan örnek kontrol örneği olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ön işlem uygulanmış ve uygulanmamış örnekler 60 oC sıcaklıkta 1 m s-1 hava hızında konvektif olarak kurutulmuştur. OD işlemi su kaybı (SK) ve dolayısıyla ağırlık kaybının (AK) önemli düzeyde artmasına neden olmuştur. Bununla birlikte katı madde kazanımı (KK), OD-VE uygulaması ile önemli düzeyde artmıştır. Kontrol örneğinde nem içeriğinin %8’in altına inmesi için 390 dakika kurutma süresi gerekli iken OD-VE uygulaması ile bu süre 180 dakika kısalmıştır. Pancarın kurutma davranışını tanımlamak için 8 farklı yarı teorik matematiksel model uygulanmış ve Page modelinin (R2>0.997, RMSE<0.018 ve χ2<0.431x10-3) OD ve OD-VE ön işlemi uygulanan pancar dilimlerinin deneysel verilerine en iyi şekilde uyduğu, kontrol örneğinde ise Diffusion Approach modelinin daha uygun (R2 =0.998, RMSE=0.013 ve χ2=0.183x10-3) olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmamızda en düşük büzülme oranı (%56.98) kurutma kinetiği verileri ile uyumlu olarak vakum altında %60 sükroz çözeltisinde dehidre edilen örnekte saptanmış olup en yüksek toplam fenolik madde içeriği (3.39 mg GAE g-1) ile antioksidan aktivite (%36.43) de aynı örnekte tespit edilmiştir. Renk ölçümleri sonuçlarından OD-VE ön işleminin kırmızı pancarın doğal kırmızı rengini korumada kullanılabileceği anlaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2023

The study aimed to expand the range of dairy products by developing a recipe and technology for a fermented milk drink made from donkey milk with unique properties. Additional functionality is provided by the introduced probiotic cultures and phytogenic raw materials. Two functional drinks were proposed as experimental products: Koumiss-1 - koumiss with added probiotics and peony tincture, and Koumiss-2 - probiotic koumiss with added dried burdock roots. The initial raw material, donkey milk, was collected in the farm of the Ala Too State Farm located at an altitude of 800 m above sea level, in the Chui Valley of the Kyrgyz Republic. The standard methods of physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic analyses were used for the study. The fermentation intensity (Is) and fermentation coefficient (δ) were determined for each case based on the data on the change in active and titratable acidity during the fermentation of milk with koumiss ferment. In the sample of koumiss-1 with the addition of peony tincture δ appeared in the first 3 hours, and δ in koumiss-2 was closer to 6 hours. Based on organoleptic evaluations, the developed drinks exhibit a pleasant sour-milk aroma and taste. The consistency is liquid with a slightly foamy texture, while the drink with added burdock roots has a pleasant creamy flavor. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast are similar to the specifications found in natural koumiss made from mare's milk. Throughout the experiment, sour-milk beverages were successfully produced, and they can potentially to fill the market niche for functional products with medicinal properties.

En Ecuador, Rhipicephalus microplus es la principal garrapata que afecta al ganado bovino, cuyo control exige conocer su comportamiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de infestación de R. microplus, examinando la ubicación anatómica de las garrapatas y su posible asociación con factores intrínsecos de los animales como son el estado general de salud, condición corporal, color del pelaje. Se llevaron a cabo cuatro muestreos cada tres meses en un total de 15 fincas en el Noroccidente de Pichincha (localidad1) y 15 fincas en el Valle de los Quijos (localidad2). Las garrapatas mayores a 0.5cm fueron contadas en 5 animales escogidos al azar. Como resultados, en cuatro muestreos realizados en las dos localidades, se encontró un promedio de 99.39 ± SD156.28(0–1426) garrapatas por animal, y un promedio de 108.8±SD179.43(0–1426) y 88.2 ± SD122.80(0–824) para la localidad 1 y 2, respectivamente. Solo la variable "salud aparente de piel y pelaje" mostró una asociación estadística positiva, con un valor P<0.05 y odds ratios de 5.13(IC 95%: 2.04-13.65) y 25.83(IC 95%: 7.63-109.39) en las categorías "regular" y "malo" respecto del estado considerado como bueno. Además, la categoría animal denominado "viejo" en la variable Edad tuvo un valor P=0.05 y un odds ratio de 2.88(IC 95%: 1.04-8.80). Anatómicamente se encontraron más garrapatas en la zona anatómica correspondiente a muslos, ubre posterior, pierna y corvejón, con un promedio de 38.52±SD70.17(0–448) garrapatas. En conclusión, la infestación con garrapatas representa un problema grave que afecta a las ganaderías de regiones tropicales del país, este estudio ayuda a direccionar de mejor manera las formas y prácticas de control sobre los bovinos.

Intranets

UX for intranets:

Considerations of user experience have been part of intranet design since the beginning, though naturally it has played a bigger part since we moved on from intranets-as-mere-repositories-of-shared- stable-information.

Although the expression seems tautological (who wouldn’t design an intranet with the end-users’ experience in mind?), as usual there’s a lot more to it.

Firstly, doesn’t user experience just boil down to usability? Secondly, can we really design something as subjective as the experiences of the users of intranets? Thirdly, there are competing philosophies, primarily task-based design.

Information Management: Developing & Using Content Quality Guidelines
Authors: White Martin
Published: December 2023

All organisations will have guidelines on how things should be done, from completing an expense form to starting up a new project. Very few provide any guidance to employees on how to ensure that the content they are creating as internal documents or as intranet and website pages is of a high quality. This guidance should be an element of an overall information management policy. At the core of content quality is the ownership of a piece of information by an individual employee who is given support both by their manager and by the information management ethos of the organisation.

Anyone using a piece of content needs to be assured that it:

Is owned by an employee who has the responsibility and support to ensure that it only remains available for as long as it is valid, accurate and of use to the organisation;

Is the most current version;

Is of the highest quality;

Can be used with confidence to make business-critical decisions;

Can be used with confidence in creating new content;

Presents no risk to the user or the organisation in referring to the content in the course of a business transaction;

Will highlight related content;

Can be shared with others with an appropriate access permission;

Is in a format that encourages use.
Web Metrics for Library and Information Professionals
Authors: De Saulles Martin
Published: December 2023

David Stuart’s “Web Metrics for Library and Information Professionals” is an authoritative overview of the origins of and evolution of web metrics with a focus on their relevance to the information profession. The author’s background as an academic researcher at King’s College London means he approaches the subject more from a research perspective than from a practitioner’s one. This results in a book particularly relevant to an academic audience although practitioners wishing to know more about the technicalities of web metrics will find much of value here.

As a lecturer in digital marketing who teaches across a range of computing and LIS courses, I found the book’s first several chapters especially useful. Stuart describes the connections between bibliometrics and web analytics and shows that librarians have had measurement as a key part of their job for many years. In Chapter 2 he outlines the evolution of metrics as used by the library profession and the origins of web metrics. He makes the point that web analytics have their origins in marketing, making it more applied than bibliometrics, which often have a more abstract heritage. However, he shows that some marketing tools such as Google Trends are also useful for academic researchers because of the breadth of the data they provide access to. The discussion on relational and evaluative metrics may appear a little academic to some readers but it provides a useful foundation for understanding web metrics and how they differ in what they are measuring and how their outputs might be used.
How to Automate Wikipedia
Authors: Upshall Michael
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, Wikipedia is so ubiquitous that when you use the Web, you don’t even have to look for it – Wikipedia comes to you. It is well known that Google search is deliberately adjusted to ensure that hits from Wikipedia are shown high up in search results, in fact so high that SEO experts wonder how it is achieved. (See, for example “Why Wikipedia is top on Google: the SEO truth no-one wants to hear.”) But not so well known is the process that goes on in the background to create Wikipedia content. You may think that this work is largely manual, and there are indeed tens of thousands of enthusiastic and committed volunteers who maintain and compile Wikipedia entries, but there is also an increasing amount of automation providing ways in which the process can be speeded up, and, as you might expect, some disagreement over the best route that automation should take.

Given the scale of Wikipedia, it’s not surprising there have been attempts to speed up the process of creating the world’s largest encyclopaedia

How Good is your Content Quality?
Authors: White Martin
Published: December 2023

In no particular order there are four key principles of information quality.

a. PurposeEvery piece of information on an intranet should be there for a purpose. Before publishing, the content owner (who may not be the publisher) should consider the potential value of the content they are publishing and write it in a way that will help an individual employee or a group of employees to use and share the content.

b. DiscoveryIntranet users will find the information they need by browsing through the site navigation, by carrying out a search or by setting up a profile to alert them to information as soon as it is published. The role of a content publisher is not just to create information but also to ensure that the people who will benefit from it can find it.c. TrustEvery piece of information on the intranet will be used in some way to make a decision that could affect the reputation of the firm. Every user of information has to be able to trust it implicitly or if they have any doubts they are able to check with the content owner.

d. OwnershipIt is the responsibility of all employees to ensure that content that they own is maintained in a way that it meets the purpose for which it was published, that it is findable and that staff can trust that it is accurate and valid.
Preserving Complex Digital Objects
Authors: Katny Margaret
Published: December 2023

This collection comprises contributions from 33 authors and is based on the results of Jisc-funded Preservation of Complex Objects (POCOS) symposia, which took place in the UK in 2011 and 2012. The symposia brought together international experts on complex digital objects and aimed to review research and practice to date, point to solutions and suggest areas where more work was needed.

The last five years or so of the digital revolution have produced a proliferation of technologies. Many of them are ephemeral and involve social networking, cloud computing, online gaming or virtual art. Digital objects, simple and complex, surround us. Simple digital objects such as documents, images or e-books are fairly easy to make safe and accessible for the future generations. This is considerably more difficult with complex digital objects. For the purpose of this book, the types of complex objects have been narrowed down to simulations/visualisations, digital/software art and gaming/virtual environments. These by no means cover all types of complex objects but represent a selection of most distinct categories.
Crossing the Road Without the Lollypop Lady: Some thoughts on safely navigating information traffic in a school library
Authors: Kelley Linda , Icke Amy
Published: December 2023

UKeiG prides itself on the support we give to continuing professional development and are delighted to publish an article co-written by the winner of our Early Career Award for 2015. It is a fascinating overview of the opportunities and challenges facing information professionals in schools. How are they grappling with curricula changes and the transition to and interface with higher education and the workplace?

Reflecting on the use of e-resources in schools, this article outlines some of the challenges and opportunities schools face when engaging with the digital world. We look at how we have used e-resources within this setting and conclude by considering some new opportunities to explore in the coming year.

The following thoughts on using digital resources in schools arose from a discussion reflecting on Amy’s first year in her new post as Librarian at Wimbledon High School. Throughout the discussion we considered what has worked well, the challenges we are currently facing and looked ahead to possible new opportunities and developments. Having previously worked together, we then thought about our current different working contexts and changes over the last year, which reinforced the importance of adapting our service to the specifics of each organisation.

CILIP Conference in Liverpool 2nd - 3rd July 2015

In this issue we also publish two complementary reports from July’s CILIP conference in Liverpool written by the successful recipients of our CILIP conference bursary ward. Lots of food for thought here. My highlight is the assertion (and potential exam question for future information professionals): ‘We shouldn’t be worrying about competition from Google, or Apple, or Amazon – they are advertising companies, not information services.’ Discuss...
Information Management: a 2015 Retrospective
Authors: White Martin
Published: December 2023

The literature on information managment is very broad and can be found in all sorts of places. I thought it might be useful if I commented on some of the books, reports and papers that I have found of interest and value in the course of 2015. This is a very personal list and makes no attempt to be comprehensive.

Social media for fun & profit
Authors: Woods Laura
Published: December 2023

Back in July, UKeiG and CILIP Yorkshire and Humberside invited me to speak at a members' day about social media. It was a pretty broad brief, so I decided I'd share a few lessons about how I've used social media in my work and personal life, and share some tips I've picked up along the way. I called it “social media for fun and profit”; reflecting how social media can benefit both your personal and professional life.
Do You Really Need an Information Architecture?
Authors: White Martin
Published: December 2023

Martin White touches on “search” asking the pertinent question: do intranet managers really need an information architecture, or is click and search the way to go? Search-driven versus menu-driven? A useful debate to revisit.

“When they burnt our library to ground, they destroyed the heart of the city…”
Authors: Menown Chlow
Published: December 2023

In a time of escalating international crises, with the systematic destruction of cultural heritage in conflict zones, Chloe Menown, the recipient of UKeiG’s Early Career Professional conference grant, reflects on the destruction of libraries. There must be a greater urgency to drive forward digital preservation through advanced imaging technologies and digitisation projects. She also touches on the de-professionalisation of staff in public libraries, raising how this could exacerbate the digital divide; the e-information have and have-nots.

Reflections on Information Retrieval
Authors: Horrocks Gary
Published: December 2023

This article pays homage to the success of UKeiG’s Tony Kent Strix Award, with a brief overview of the fascinating 2016 Annual Lecture. Chris Armstrong writes: “The panel that runs the Tony Kent Strix Award felt for a number of years that the winners should be celebrated in some way that extended beyond a simple presentation, and the inauguration of the Annual Strix Lecture in 2015 was the outcome. Peter Ingwersen followed Microsoft’s Dr Susan T Dumais and will be followed next year by the 2016 winner, Professor Maristella Agosti.”

On his recent retirement from UKeiG, Chris, who with the Strix panel has managed the Award for many years, said: “It has been an honour to be associated with the Tony Kent Strix Award for so long. It is given in recognition and appreciation of a man I only knew slightly, but who made major contributions to information retrieval. The list of previous winners is impressive, from Professor Stephen Robertson through international luminaries such as Donna Harman, Peter Willett, Kalervo Jarvelin, Keith van Rijsbergen and Herbert van Sompel. The award stands as a fitting tribute to everything that Tony Kent accomplished. It should be said that it also marks the not inconsiderable effort put in over the years by my colleagues on the Strix panel who set up the Award following Tony Kent’s death.” In taking over the Award from the Institute of Information Scientists, UKeiG recognised its value and importance, and the group is proud to sponsor the Annual Lecture.
The future of Google is not about search
Authors: Blakeman Karen
Published: December 2023

Karen Blakeman laments the dumbing down of the search functionality of Google. Are its days as a research tool over?
