Wczesna alfabetyzacja i jej miejsce w działalności bibliotek publicznych

Author(s): Agata Walczak-Niewiadomska / Language(s): Polish

Public libraries have always played a key role in the development of reading, as their mission is perceived to establish areas and contexts for different audiences, creating a connection between families and books. In the case of very small children, including infants, toddlers and preschoolers, it is made even more obvious by the special library sections aimed at early literacy and raising awareness of the value of reading in children’s language development. The subject of this thesis is the broadly understood early literacy of children aged 0-5, conducted within public libraries abroad and in Poland, developed both on the basis of literature on the subject, primarily foreign, and on the basis of own research, carried out within Polish branches of public libraries for children. Its aim is to synthesize current knowledge on the subject, disseminating the concepts and assumptions of early literacy among librarians. The research was carried out in 2018 in the group of 97 branches for children. The services and collections of the researched Polish libraries provide evidence for the implementation of the early literacy assumptions. However, this is still a fairly variable issue, especially considering the two age groups (0-2 and 3-5). Nevertheless, the presence of books addressed to a child who does not read yet (picturebooks, cardboard, pleated, folded and with multimedia addings) is apparent in the collections, the least common in this group are books for babies – from materials other than paper (sponge, foam or fabrics). It is worth emphasizing that the vast majority of the children’s branches in the study offer active forms of working with children aged 0-5, all of which contribute to the development of children’s pre-reading skills to a greater or lesser extent. Shaping the process of early literacy through the work of children’s libraries includes parent education activities. The involvement of libraries can also be observed in cooperation with nurseries and kindergartens, consisting mainly of sessions of reading aloud, library lessons and workshops devoted to early reading, as well as participation in reading projects and distribution of relevant materials. It all adds up to an image of the varied forms and means of work in Polish public children’s libraries for the development of early literacy of children aged 0-5, as well as the education of parents and carers working with this age group.

Smart dwellings

Author(s): Mihaela Zamfir (Grigorescu),Mihai Viorel Zamfir,Ileana Ciobanu,Andreea Georgiana Marin / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

Preamble: The pandemic with COVID-19 that we have been experiencing globally for almost one year now brings continuous challenges on many levels, the built environment being an important one. Social distancing meant that during this period housing has been requested differently, first as a shelter, now as a space in which we have to work or learn. Objectives: The research aims to identify dwellings parameters that need reconsideration from the pandemic experience with COVID-19, how these can be adjusted in order to meet safety and comfort requirements to ultimately maintain well-being. Prior work: The paper investigates the latest written documents on the influence of the pandemic with COVID-19 on the built environment, including published articles, peer-reviewed articles, digital blog posts, expert opinions. Approach: The research is of narrative review type and interdisciplinary investigation of the specialized literature but at the same time it is also a reflection of the personal experience of the authors during COVID-19 pandemic. The following parameters of the home are analyzed: areas, dimensions, functions, finishes, accesses, lighting, relationship with the outdoor. Results: Health, safety and comfort are 3 aspects that were tested during the quarantine period and are essential when we talk about housing and pandemic dwellings. It is estimated that there will be changes in the design of new residential buildings, collective and individual. Homes will need versatility, more generous spaces, functional expansions so as to cover both living and work or learning areas. There is talk of a living architecture but at the same time of touchless technology. The post-pandemic COVID-19 architecture will emphasize the user's well-being, but with much more emphasis on safety issues. Implications: The challenges of the pandemic will influence the design process with possible changes in regulations, with an impact on architects, verification requirements, and contractors but also costs for the beneficiary. The architecture of post-pandemic housing will be an interdisciplinary collaboration between architect and specialists such as medical doctor, biologist, psychologist, engineers. Value: The paper highlights the importance of the need for an interdisciplinary approach in the design of housing, a new aspect catalyzed by the pandemic with COVID-19.

Surabaya towards a smart city constrained by COVID-19

Author(s): Akhmad Yusuf ZUHDY,Aan FAUZI / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

Surabaya, East Java is one of the cities in Indonesia which is well known as a Smart City. This achievement can not be separated from the breakthroughs and innovations that the local City Government (Pemkot) has made. The city government of Surabaya has also received various awards from within and outside the country, especially in the field of smart city. One of the awards is the 2018 OpenGov Recognition of Excellence. However, when the smart city was being helded, a pandemic emerged that attacked almost all parts of the world. This study aims to identify obstacles and steps to deal with Covid-19 without disturbing the stability of Surabaya towards a smart city. The data were obtained from social media from the Surabaya municipal government and the smart city parameters were taken from academic papers. The concept of smart city according to Surabaya begins with Smart Government, namely by implementing an internet-based government system which is also known as e-procurement. Other parameters are smart branding, smart economy, smart living, smart society, smart environment. This paper focuses on discussing smart environment without neglecting other parameters. Unfortunately, since the Covid-19 pandemic Surabaya has become the city in Indonesia with the most corona cases after Jakarta and Bogor with confirmed positive data up to November 1, 2020, amounting to 15,973 cases. The Surabaya City Government (Pemkot Surabaya) has implemented various efforts in order to prevent or break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. Consists of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative efforts.

Ambient Advertising in Metaverse Smart Cities

Author(s): Nikola Vangelov / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2023

The paper analyzes the main aspects of ambient advertising, metaverse and smart cities. This type of advertising is creative, relatively inexpensive and uses the context of a city’s area to provide a new experience to its residents and tourists. The article aims at displaying the overlapping of this marketing communication with the urban context and how both companies and municipalities could benefit from using it. The types of ambient advertising are studied, as well as their application in the communication of organizations with people in cities. Through content analysis and case studies the connection between ambient advertising and metaverse urban areas with its residents is studied. This paper adds on several previous studies [1, 2, 3] and some others in the context of smart cities and metaverse ambient advertising, while proposing an additional method of tracking user experience – eye tracking. Key elements of ambient advertising, the metaverse and smart cities are studied, as well as interactivity and connectivity. Through the analyzed examples the positive aspect of using this marketing communication is displayed, since it makes it possible for the residents to see the same environment in a new and interactive way. Thus, the connection between them and the urban space becomes stronger and more entertaining. This paper could be of interest to academicians and practitioners in the sphere of marketing and advertising, as well as representatives of municipalities, who aim at providing their residents an additional level of experience with the urban areas of the future.

This jubilee publication brings a colourful panorama of the Munipress publishing house activities together with a historical overview. It is dedicated to the centenary of the Masaryk University and to all the silenced authors in its history.

Model systemu informacji terminologicznej

Author(s): Jacek Tomaszczyk / Language(s): Polish

Within science and technology, specialist language is a basic cognitive and communication tool, whose constitutive element lies in its terminology. Specialist vocabulary is an object of interest to researchers in many areas of study, for a well-ordered, coherent set of terms and definitions makes a considerable impact upon the development of each discipline of study. Terminology is also a part of the interdisciplinary research that aims to broaden one’s knowledge of terms and concepts representing them in different aspects, such as linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural in addition to technical ones which are predominantly related to the organization of terminological databases and providing access to them.Free and easy access to well-organized terminological databases enables multidisciplinary and multilingual communication (scientific, technical, business). This access facilitates the creation of linguistic information databases, which is essential to building effective tools of automatic analysis and indexing specialist titles as well as intelligent searching for information on the Internet.The purpose of the reflections and analyses presented in this book is to propose an original, nationwide, multidisciplinary model of the information terminology system that would allow for solving current problems of organization and access to terminology as well as information related to terminological activities. Among the more important characteristics of the model would be: multidisciplinary and complex information that determines terms and concepts, high functionality and flexibility, and an openness to users’ changing needs. As far as scientific and practical points of view are concerned, this model is designed in such a way that elements of different terminological and linguistic theories along with author’s concepts meet together (e.g. multiple definitions of particular terms, a variety of definition types, synchronic-diachronic approach, descriptive-prescriptive function, proper names inclusion, storage of bibliographic and factual information related to terminological activities and the application of topic maps to represent, store, and provide access to information terminology).In order to achieve this goal, qualitative research methods have been applied. An analysis of written materials from the fields of information science, terminology and terminography have been done, which allowed for introducing the hitherto theoretical models of terminology. The analysis mainly focused on assumptions, characteristics and functions of the models so as to identify their advantages and disadvantages in linguistic, cognitive and communicational aspects. Furthermore, content analysis has been used to research both Polish and international terminology web services, which led to obtaining answers regarding the extent to which they include the theoretical assumptions of the existing models of terminology.While gathering information on the subject of the implementation of international terminological projects a free-form technique has been applied. The collected information made itpossible to delineate weak points of the existing models of terminological data. The data alsoenabled us to determine the functionality of the current models of access to terminology as wellas to unveil potential reasons for a lack of a well-coordinated, nationwide terminological activityin Poland. Knowledge gained on the basis of the above data paved the way for proposing a newmodel for a national system of terminology information which reduces the problems noticed interminology management.The book is comprised of a preface, three chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one is dividedinto three subchapters that present issues concerned with information, terminology, andterminology information. Subchapter one illustrates different approaches to information and itsimportance in organized structures. Subchapter two explains the nature of concepts and terms,as well as the status of terminology, focusing on: determination of the scope of terminologicalactivity, illustrating major terminological theories, describing the application of terminology inspecialist communication, translations and information-retrieval languages. Subchapter threeprovides a definition of information terminology, its characteristics, role and significance. It alsodescribes sources and users of terminology information.Chapter two begins by going over the problems of terminology information, that is: poorquality of lexical resources, fragmentation and dissemination of sources, and difficulties in accessingterminology databases. Following this, chapter two proceeds to discuss technical issuesrelated to organization and accessibility of terminology information. A meta-model and a formatfor exchanging terminological data has been presented and apart from that also a project for theSemantic Network and its most important components. Special focus is placed on one of theconcepts of Semantic Network implementation, namely topic maps which have been proposed tomanage terminology information.Chapter three aims to present the author’s model of terminology information. It providesa depiction of its assumptions and characteristics at all levels: (1) microstructure which encompassesthe elements related to the ways of information organization in entries (records);(2) macrostructure which includes, among other things, the thematic scope of the system, orderof entries, documentation, and software; (3) infrastructure such as institutions, organizations,companies, and specialists involved in building and providing access to terminological resourceswithin the system as well as technical equipment (appliances, networks), rules and proceduresused in terminological activity.The subject of terminology information has been taken up due to the significant role ofterminology in specialist communication, information processing, and in knowledge representationand transfer that overcomes systemic, disciplinary, linguistic, and also cultural barriers.The formation of the open terminology information system in Poland will certainly enablecomprehensive access to updated and complete terminology of many disciplines and businesses.What is more, it will contribute to raising social awareness of the role of terminology in science,technology, and social life, and thus it will enrich language culture.
