TikTok and Narrative Authority: A Response to Georgakopoulou
Full text linkAlexandra Georgakopoulou’s (2025) article discusses an important shift in the contemporary story economy, from teller-oriented to story-oriented dynamic on social media, resulting from the immense global popularity of TikTok. While being real and relatability continue to constitute the primary capital on social media, TikTok does not capitalize on the “story” of the influencer as an exemplary and yet relatable individual. Instead, the primary products are now shareable and relatable story templates that have a great potential to develop into culturally dominating masterplots with replicable plots, characters, and moral positioning
Towards a simpler assessment of the environmental impact of hydrographic echosounders
Full text linkConducting seafloor-mapping surveys often implies preliminary authorization requests based on the prediction of the field radiated by the sonars to be operated, compared to acceptable thresholds established for concerned marine animals and different risk levels. Applied to multibeam echosounders, risk assessment studies show very moderate risk levels, for objective reasons that are presented here together with some modelling results. Such systematic risk evaluations are redundant since they always concern the same sonars and animal species. It is suggested that regulatory authorities explicitly consider the case of seafloor-mapping echosounders, confirm their limited impact according to current methodologies and standards and, when appropriate, exonerate them from preliminary risk assessment
Investigating the precision of hydrographic data by comparing the differences between multi-beam and single-beam echo-sounders (case study: Bushehr port in the Persian Gulf)
No full textThis study examines discrepancies between single-beam and multi-beam data at Bushehr Port, where multi-beam data were processed using mathematical models. Single-beam-derived depths from control points were then interpolated onto these surfaces and compared statistically. The analysis revealed an average depth difference of 0.03 m between the sensors, with a standard deviation of 0.08 m at a 98 % confidence interval, and a root mean square error of 0.21 m. The results confirm that multi-beam surveys with the IHO S-44 standard (Edition 6.1.0), achieve Special Order accuracy while reducing field operation time and costs, and providing more extensive seabed coverage
Collaboration in the revision of a piece of writing: An analysis of group revision sessions with university students
Full text linkThe importance of revision has been recognised by numerous scholars of the teaching and learning of writing (Abad & Rodríguez-Gonzalo, 2023; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Camps, 2020; Horning & Becker, 2006), especially if it is understood as a recursive and transversal phase that affects all levels of language (Álvarez Angulo, 2011; Camps, 2020; Marin & Legros, 2006). To test whether group revision is an effective tool in the teaching-learning process of writing in Spanish as a first language, in this paper we analyse large group revision sessions recorded in the natural context of a university classroom in which we implemented a didactic writing sequence (Camps, 2020; Dolz et al., 2001; Rodríguez-Gonzalo & Abad-Beltrán, 2023). The objective of this paper—an instrumental case study (Stake, 2007; Yin, 2009)—is to describe the interactions that take place in this revision process, categorise the aspects of the different linguistic levels to be identified and describe the students' proposed actions aimed at modifying the texts. The results show that approaching the revision phase collectively encourages the development of the students' metalinguistic and meta-rhetorical awareness (Horning, 2006), provided that this phase is not limited to the correction of errors in the final text and is conceived as a complex process that represents growth, progress and discovery (Haar, 2006) in the composition of a piece of writing.L'importance de la révision a été reconnue par de nombreux spécialistes de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage de l'écriture (Abad & Rodríguez-Gonzalo, 2023; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Camps, 2020; Horning & Becker, 2006), surtout si elle est comprise comme une phase récursive et transversale qui affecte tous les niveaux de la langue (Álvarez Angulo, 2011; Camps, 2020; Marin & Legros, 2006). Pour vérifier si la révision en groupe est un outil efficace dans le processus d'enseignement-apprentissage de l'écriture en espagnol langue première, nous analysons dans cet article des séances de révision en grand groupe enregistrées dans le contexte naturel d'une classe universitaire dans laquelle nous avons mis en œuvre une séquence d'écriture didactique (Camps, 2020; Dolz et al., 2001; Rodríguez-Gonzalo & Abad-Beltrán, 2023). L'objectif de cet article - une étude de cas instrumentale (Stake, 2007 ; Yin, 2009) - est de décrire les interactions qui ont lieu dans ce processus de révision, de catégoriser les aspects des différents niveaux linguistiques à identifier et de décrire les actions proposées par les étudiants pour modifier les textes. Les résultats montrent que l'approche collective de la phase de révision favorise le développement de la conscience métalinguistique et méta-rhétorique des étudiants (Horning, 2006), à condition que cette phase ne se limite pas à la correction des erreurs dans le texte final et qu’elle soit conçue comme un processus complexe qui représente la croissance, le progrès et la découverte (Haar, 2006) dans la composition d'un écrit

Overview of the IHO–Nippon Foundation GEOMAC project and its evolution over 15 years
Full text linkThe IHO-Nippon Foundation Cooperation Project, through the IHO Capacity Building Programme, has been providing opportunities for Category “B” nautical cartographer training at the UKHO for 15 years. Since the start of the Japan Capacity Building Project (JCBP) in 2008, which sought to develop and promote human capacity building of technical personnel in nautical cartography, through the Cartography, Hydrography and Related Training (CHART) and Geospatial Marine Analysis and Cartography (GEOMAC) projects by the partnerships of the Organizations shown in Fig. 1, the number of alumni from these projects is now approaching 100 from over 50 countries. This paper reviews the 15-year evolution of these projects and their achievements in supporting IHO Member States, as well as the current training course content
