This chapter outlines the state of the art in corpus-based language teaching and digital pedagogy, focusing on the differences between using corpora with present-day and historical data. The basic concepts of corpus-based research such as representativeness, frequency, and statistical significance can be introduced to students who are new to corpus methods, and the application of these concepts to the history of English can deepen students’ understanding of how historical varieties of the language are researched. This chapter will also address some of the key challenges particular to teaching the history of English using corpora, such as dealing with the seemingly counterintuitive findings, non-standard features, and small datasets. Finally, following an overview of available historical corpora and corpus tools, several practical examples of corpus-driven activities will be discussed in detail, with suggestions and ideas on how a teacher might prepare and run corpus-based lessons.

O presente artigo se centra na investigação dos nomes próprios atribuídos a escolas da cidade Marechal Cândido Rondon, no Paraná, tomando, como objeto de estudo, especificamente, escolas localizadas mais ao centro da cidade. A análise procurou recuperar quem são os sujeitos homenageados em cada nome das escolas, e, quando possível, por quais razões o nome foi escolhido. A metodologia empregada nesta pesquisa envolve a busca de fundamentação teórica e documental para o levantamento de dados históricos relacionados às escolas analisadas e análise dos dados com o aporte de outros estudos toponímicos com objetivo semelhante. A pesquisa revelou que um terço dos nomes de escola analisados correspondem a pioneiros no município; quatro nomes são de escritores e quatro de pessoas de notoriedade no cenário nacional; houve também dois casos de escolas que homenageiam os locais onde se encontram. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que, a partir dos vestígios presentes nas denominações, o estudo toponímico dos nomes de escolas permite contemplar e resgatar uma parte do passado rondonense que está ligado a essas escolas.School names as homage to the local History of the Paraná county of Marechal Cândido Rondon The present article focuses on the investigation of proper names assigned to schools in Marechal Cândido Rondon city, in the state of Paraná, taking, as study object, specifically, schools near downtown. The analysis looked for recover who are the subjects honored in each name of the schools, and, when possible, for which reasons the name was chosen. The methodology employed on this research involves the demand of theoretical and documented foundation for the setting-up of historical data related to the analyzed schools and with the support on other similar goal toponymic studies. The research revealed that one third of the school names analyzed correspond to pioneers in the city; four are names of writers and four names of notorious people on the nation scene; there were also two cases of schools which honor the place where they are located. The results of the research show that, starting from the present vestiges on the denominations, the toponymic study of school names allow us to contemplate and rescue a part of the past of the city that is connected to these schools. Keywords: Toponym; School names; History.

Books are landmarks in the history of sciences. Some reflect the views of influential opinion leaders in a certain period—as it was common in the past. Some reflect the state of the art on a particular field reviewed by multiple authors—as became frequent nowadays. Some still reflect a combination of both tendencies collecting the opinion of several authors under the general framework of the leading opinion of an Editor. In this last case the Editor is also an active writer of seminal chapters. This was the case of the first edition of Principles of Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology, edited by M.-Marsel Mesulam.

Abstract In the past decade, over 3000 samples of soybean transcriptomic data have accumulated in public repositories. Here, we review the state of the art in soybean transcriptomics, highlighting the major microarray and RNA-seq studies that investigated soybean transcriptional programs in different tissues and conditions. Further, we propose approaches for integrating such big data using gene coexpression network and outline important web resources that may facilitate soybean data acquisition and analysis, contributing to the acceleration of soybean breeding and functional genomics research.

This paper presents a short history of Polish formations protecting the governing bodies of the state, starting from the moment Poland regained independence at the end of the twentieth century. The considerations are presented against the rules and principles of the functioning of the state security system, with particular emphasis on the control subsystem. This paper demonstrates the need to research attitudes to safety in the past, in order to develop and apply effective contemporary solutions. The considerations contained in it also concern the existing threats to the management of state organs. They may contribute to further discussions on the purpose and rules of operation of the formation which is supposed to protect the most important people in the state.

The history of lexicography in Iran dates back to more than 2,000 years ago, to the time of the compilation of bilingual and monolingual lexicons for the Middle Persian language. After a review of the long and rich tradition of Persian lexicography, the chapter gives an account of the state of the art in the modern era by describing recent advances and developments in this field. During the last three or four decades, in line with the advancements in western countries, Iranian lexicography evolved from its traditional state into a modern professional and academic activity trying to improve the form and content of dictionaries by implementing the following factors: the latest achievements in theoretical and applied linguistics related to lexicography; and the computer techniques and information technology and corpus-based approach to lexicography.

The Aviation Group of the Ministry of Technology (formerly the Ministry of Aviation) is responsible for spending a large part of the country's defence budget, both in research and development on the one hand and production or procurement on the other. In addition, it has responsibilities in many non-defence fields, mainly, but not exclusively, in aerospace.Few developments have been carried out entirely within the Ministry's own Establishments; almost all have required continuous co-operation between the Ministry and Industry. In the past the methods of management and collaboration and the relative responsibilities of the Ministry and Industry have varied with time, with the type of equipment to be developed, with the size of the development project and so on. But over the past ten years there has been a growing awareness of the need to put some system into the complex business of translating a requirement into a specification and a specification into a product within reasonable bounds of time and cost.

<p>Northeast Thailand is known for salt production, both today and in the past.  Prehistoric salt sites are found throughout the region and ethnographic and historical data demonstrates the importance of salt as a commodity as well as for preserving and fermenting fish. This paper explores the archaeology and cultural history of salt and salt fermented fish products in Northeast Thailand and the Greater Mekong Delta region.  Using archaeological, historical and ethnographic data, it addresses how the foods we eat and our preparation methods can be deeply rooted in our cultural history and identity, and discusses the ways in which they can be studied in the archaeological record to learn about the past.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
