Aspecte privind organizarea administrativ-teritorială şi instituţională a comitatului Arad în secolul al XVIII-lea (Some aspects of the administrative-territorial and institutional organization of Arad County in the eighteenth century)
No full textThe article offers a brief overview of the administrative-territorial organization and reorganization in the former county of Arad. Old medieval boundaries have known significant changes after the installation of Habsburg rule. Political, social and military reasons determined the imperial authorities to make several reorganizations of the area. Institutions were designed to ensure proper functioning of the county, but also contributed to the upgrade of the administrative structures on the Enlightenment spirit
Carl G. Jung's Synchronicity and Quantum Entanglement: Schrödinger's Cat 'Wanders' Between Chromosomes
No full textInternational audienceOne of the most prospective directions of study of C.G. Jung's synchronicity phenomenon is reviewed considering the latest achievements of modern science. The attention is focused mainly on the quantum entanglement and related phenomena - quantum coherence and quantum superposition. It is shown that the quantum non-locality capable of solving the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox represents one of the most adequate physical mechanisms in terms of conformity with the Jung's synchronicity hypothesis. An attempt is made on psychophysiological substantiation of synchronicity within the context of molecular biology. An original concept is proposed, stating that biological molecules involved in cell division during mitosis and meiosis, particularly DNA may be considered material carriers of consciousness. This assumption may be formulated on the basis of phenomenology of Jung's analytical psycholog
Information behaviour and practices of PhD students
No full textThis report addresses the information behaviour and practices of PhD students and its implications for library services. Academic libraries and their services are part of the information network of PhD students. Therefore libraries should pay special attention to the needs and practices of this important academic subgroup. The University Librarian at Copenhagen University Library and Information Service (CULIS) commissioned this study. It was conducted by representatives from CULIS, University of Oslo Library and from Vienna University Library. The study consisted of a survey and interviews targeting the PhD students at the three involved universities. The most important findings * Services are requested which are already in existence but are not communicated effectively enough to the target audience. * Journal articles were identified as the most important information source. * Convenience of access is key, material not easily available is often disregarded. This is probably due to time pressure. * Google is widely used during all stages but especially in the beginning of the search process. * Online library services are very much in use, physical buildings very much less so. * Reference management software is not as widely used as could be expected. * A great variety of methods are in use for searching and keeping informed, this is something that develops significantly during the PhD. * Information research habits are often established long before the PhD studies. They further develop during the PhD process but mostly without library support. * Supervision and courses are requested from the library but need to be efficient, effective, and tailored. The most important recommendations * Take drastic steps to improve marketing and branding. * Offer ad hoc specialised rather than general support. * Offer short, specialised and to the point courses at the beginning of the PhD * Libraries should teach PhD students the most efficient methods for searching early in their studies. * Expand the number of electronic resources and offer online support and online courses to accomodate needs of PhD students working and/or not giving time to attend courses in person. * Library catalogue and search tools should be made as intuitive to use as possible. * The library should maintain and update knowledge about local research workflows to facilitate knowledge based library development aimed at the local research communities. * The libraries should offer dedicated PhD workspace, which is a particular desideratum by Vienna and Oslo PhD students. We found differences in the PhD workflow which might be disciplinary, local, or individual. These need to be taken into account when developing, improving, or marketing library services for this target group and researchers in general. Failure to do so will lead to services being overlooked, disregarded, or considered irrelevant

Praise the Bridge that Carries You Over: Testing the Flattery Citations Hypothesis
No full textInternational audienceFlattery citations of editors, potential referees, etc. has been claimed to be a common strategy among academic authors. From a sociology of science perspective, as well as from a citation analytical perspective, it is both an interesting claim and a consequential one. The paper presents a citation analysis of the editorial board members entering American Economic Review from 1984 to 2004 using a citation window of 11 years. In order to test the flattery citations hypothesis further we have conducted a study applying the difference-in-difference estimator. We analyse the number of times the editors and editorial board members of the American Economic Review were cited in articles published in the journal itself as well as in a pool of documents comprising of articles from Journal of Political Economy and Quarterly Journal of Economics. The results of the analyses do not support the existence of a flattery citation effect

Radio: Borderless and selective: On the use codes in radio broadcast
No full textIn the beginning of the 21st century, the Internet may be heralded as the great bringer of free information to all, but in the earlier parts of the 20th century this role appointed to the great new invention, the radio. In Denmark, the earliest experiments with radio broadcasting started as private initiatives in the 1910s and 1920s. By 1925, the state took over responsibility for the broadcasting of radio and established Den Danske Statsradiofoni (The Danish State Radiophony). Thereby, a monopoly was built which was maintained until the 1980s
Russisk Grammatik
No full textMed sin russiske grammatik ønskede Joel Nordborg Nielsen at skabe en lærebog og et redskab for den videregående undervisning i russisk. Der foreligger allerede flere udmærkede russiske grammatikker på dansk, men de tager næsten alle udgangspunkt i begynderniveauet. Joel Nordborg Nielsens grammatik forudsætter derimod kundskaber svarende til afsluttet eksamen i russisk fra gymnasiet eller universiteternes propædeutiske kursus. Fremstillingen opfylder flere formål. For det første bibringer den brugeren, typisk en universitetsstuderende, indsigt i det russiske sprogs struktur som en vigtig forudsætning for at opbygge en sikker skriftlig og mundtlig sprogbeherskelse. For det andet bidrager den væsentligt til at udvikle færdigheder i sproglig analyse og dermed til at trænge ind i alle lag af de russiske teksters indhold. Endelig forbereder den med sin problematiserende form den studerende på at arbejde med sprogvidenskabelige problemstillinger. Fra et videnskabeligt synspunkt kombinerer fremstillingen træk af klassisk europæisk strukturalisme med moderne funktionalisme; et sprogsyn, der har været et kendemærke for københavnsk og dansk lingvistik de seneste tre årtier. Hertil kommer en tydelig inspiration fra russiske traditioner. Resultatet er blevet en velbalanceret fremstilling, der kombinerer kravene til en videnskabelig fremstilling med pædagogiske hensyn

For Princes or Maids? - Provenance, form and value of serpentine at Skokloster castle
No full textSkokloster castle, Sweden, houses a group of more than fifty objects in serpentine stone, acquired during the 17th century. The group is generally called Wrangels fältservis [Wrangel's field service], referring to field marshall Carl Gustaf Wrangel (1613-1676). The, in many aspects, unresearched material is here approached through the field of material culture studies. The thesis is based on a three-partite approach towards the material, in which the first is the result of actual handling and examination of the objects, paired with a comparative analysis of similar objects regarding dating and influences. The second is a theoretical study of form and serpentine matter, and why the serpentine objects share so many form elements with metal artifacts. The third is based on inventory research and aspects of value, both monetary and cultural. The ascribed value of the group varied over time, from being used as kitchen utensils in the 17th and 18th century, to be regarded as private museum pieces in the 19th and 20th century. The various attitudes have left marks on the objects, both physical (as in level of attention given to repairs etc.) and in inventory matter (as in location and descriptive detail), which can be studied and reveal information otherwise unaccessible
