Attribution als Komik erzeugender Stilzug in Martin Suters Text "Alles im Griff. Eine Business Soap" (2014)
No full textZielsetzung des Beitrags ist, Attribute als Sprachelemente unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Erzeugung und Verstärkung von Komik ausfindig zu machen. Anhand einer näheren Betrachtung von in Buchform versammelten Zeitungskolumnen des Schweizer Gegenwartautors Martin Suter wird nachvollzogen, inwiefern Attribute ihre jeweiligen Referenten in auffälliger Weise beschreiben und dadurch Komik erzeugen und gleichzeitig als Stilmittel wirken. Anhand konkreter Beispiele aus der Textsammlung wird aufgedeckt, wie die semantische Opposition von Attribut und nomi¬na¬lem Bezugswort durch das narrative Mittel der Überschneidung von Skripts entstehen kann, bzw. auf welche beiläufige Weise Attribute mehr über den Referenten aussagen, als der rhematische Inhalt der Aussage selber. Didaktische Überlegungen zum Nachvollzug komischer Effekte durch Attribute, zusammen mit ihrem Auftreten als Stilzug, runden den Beitrag ab
Zur semantischen Sphäre der Bildung/Erziehung in thematisch basierten Schriften Martin Luthers
No full textBy analyzing selected key words from Luther’s writings on education, the article undertakes a lexical-semantic approach to the Reformer’s concept of education. An appropriate education for everyone represents for Luther the key to the preservation and further development of the Reformed society. The article observes the key concepts of his view on education regarding the two major educational institutions, school and university. To refer to the educational process at the school level, Luther prefers to use basic or root words, which acquire a higher degree of abstraction through processes of word formation (derivation and composition). Concerning the university level of education, Luther’s writings sow the semantic seed for today’s key terms such as Vorlesung and Bildung
Alignment of Ontology Design Patterns: Class As Property Value, Value Partition and Normalisation
No full textDesign-pattern driven ontology construction, whether manual or (partially) automated, relies on the availability of curated repositories of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) adequately characterized. In order to consistently apply a given ODP, not only it is important to characterize it in full, but also examine its alignment or deviation to other relevant ODPs in relation to it. Otherwise, possible inconsistencies in the application can lead to interoperability issues among the ontology models involved.In that context, this paper revisits a specific version of three different ODPs: Class as a Property Value (CPV), Value Partition (VP) and Normalisation. The review of the CPV identifies two distinct modelling problems being tangled that prompt to decouple the pattern into two variants: a strict and a coarse CPV pattern. The examination continues with a comparative analysis among the patterns that reveals key alignments and differences at the structural and semantic level. These findings extends the reusability and compositional characteristics of the strict and coarse variants of the CPV ODP in relation to the other two patterns.To illustrate our contribution existing examples in the literature are revisited. They demonstrate the alignments, differences and prototypical OWL idioms identified, which can assist ontology practitioners in mitigating the opportunity for inconsistencies when applying these recurrent ontology building blocks.<br/
Scope-Based Method Cache Analysis
No full textThe quest for time-predictable systems has led to the exploration of new hardware architectures that simplify analysis and reasoning in the temporal domain, while still providing competitive performance. For the instruction memory, the method cache is a conceptually attractive solution, as it requests memory transfers at well-defined instructions only. In this article, we present a new cache analysis framework that generalizes and improves work on cache persistence analysis. The analysis demonstrates that a global view on the cache behavior permits the precise analyses of caches which are hard to analyze by inspecting cache state locally
What does an ontology engineering community look like?: a systematic analysis of the schema.org community
No full textWe present a systematic analysis of participation and interactions within the community behind schema.org, one of the largest and most relevant ontology engineering projects in recent times. Previous work conducted in this space has focused on ontology collaboration tools, and the roles that different contributors play within these projects. This paper takes a broader view and looks at the entire life cycle of the collaborative process to gain insights into how new functionality is proposed and accepted, and how contributors engage with one another based on real-world data. The analysis resulted in several findings. First, the collaborative ontology engineering roles identified in previous studies with a much stronger link to ontology editors apply to community interaction contexts as well. In the same time, the participation inequality is less pronounced than the 90-9-1 rule for Internet communities. In addition, schema.org seems to facilitate a form of collaboration that is friendly towards newcomers, whose concerns receive as much attention from the community as those of their longer-serving peers

On the concept of figurations, deep mediatization, and the adulthood of media and communication studies – the interview with Andreas Hepp
No full textAndreas Hepp is Professor of Communication and Media Studies at ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research at theUniversityofBremen. Mediatization research is among his various research interests that generally include media and communication theory, media sociology, and transcultural communication. Theoretical and empirical studies on mediatization processes are also among the leading subjects in the academic work of ZeMKI.Andreas Hepp is the author of several publications on the subject of mediatization, including his latest book The Mediated Construction of Reality written with Nick Couldry of the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science. In The Mediated Construction of Reality, Couldry and Hepp revisit the question of how the social world is constructed, originally asked by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann (1966), and provide the reader with their own original answer, acknowledging the complex and irreducible contribution of digital media to the process. The editorial staff of Mediatization Studies reckons Andreas Hepp as one of the leading academics in the field of mediatization research and his and Couldry’s book as one of the most interesting and up-to-date accounts on the issue. This is why we decided to present it via this interview.The interview was conducted during the Communicative Figurations international conference in Bremen (December 7-9, 2016), which focused on transforming communications in times of deep mediatization. Couldry and Hepp’s book had its official presentation during the conference

Do Gun Buybacks Save Lives? Evidence from Panel Data
No full textIn 1997, Australia implemented a gun buyback program that reduced the stock of firearms by around one-fifth. Using differences across states in the number of firearms withdrawn, we test whether the reduction in firearms availability affected firearm homicide and suicide rates. We find that the buyback led to a drop in the firearm suicide rates of almost 80 per cent, with no statistically significant effect on non-firearm death rates. The estimated effect on firearm homicides is of similar magnitude, but is less precise. The results are robust to a variety of specification checks, and to instrumenting the state-level buyback rate.firearms ownership, homicide, suicide, panel data
