In recent years, I have taught a number of writing and literature courses in which my students, as part of their final grade in the class, contributed to the creation of on-line magazines. In the process, the students transformed their various compositions into hypertext documents linked to both a main “home” page and a variety of external locations that, in turn, positioned their writing within a community (or network) of electronic texts. Using my experiences of this project as a touchstone, I examine the potential benefits and pitfalls of teaching writing through the creation of on-line magazines. Specifically, I address the ways in which the creation of on-line magazines impacts how instructors envision their curriculum, as well as the extent to which these electronic publications problematize traditional conceptions of what it means to “create,” “read,” and “analyze” a text.

The article discusses the status of quantitative and qualitative data in economic sciences, as well as methods for transforming data into information and knowledge. Particular attention is devoted to content analysis as a set of methods for aggregating, processing and analyzing qualitative data; its forms (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods) and uses by economists. Content analysis appears to be particularly suitable for non-orthodox economists because of their refusal to consider price as the only source of economic information. The content analysis of metadata of articles indexed in Web of Science and eLibrary suggests that Russian economists still have insufficient familiarity with the principles of content analysis and their applications to research compared with their Western counterparts. It is argued that the creation of on-line platforms for content analysis and on-line banks of qualitative data may become a trigger for changing this situation.

The AI Bookie column documents highlights from AI Bets, an online forum for the creation of adjudicatable predictions and bets about the future of AI. While it is easy to make a prediction about the future, this forum was created to help researchers craft predictions whose accuracy can be clearly and unambiguously judged when they come due. The bets will be documented on line, and regularly in this publication in The AI Bookie. We encourage bets that are rigorously and scientifically argued. We discourage bets that are too general to be evaluated, or too specific to an institution or individual. The goal is not to continue to feed the media frenzy and pundit predictions about AI, but rather to curate and promote bets whose outcomes will provide useful feedback to the scientific community

The computer-assisted design of soundscapes for virtual environments has received far less attention than the creation of graphical content. In this “think piece” we briefly introduce the principal characteristics of a framework under development that aims towards the creation of an automatic sonification of virtual worlds. As a starting point, the proposed system is based on an on-line collaborative sound repository that, together with content-based audio retrieval tools, assists the search of sounds to be associated with 3D models or scenes.

Implementing corporate social responsibility programs by companies that can bring about community independence, because in corporate social responsibility itself there is implementation of empowerment. Therefore, companies need to prioritize corporate social responsibility programs that can increase independence and improve the ability of the people who are targeted in the target program. Community empowerment is one of the efforts and methods that can be used by companies in creating conditions for an active, participatory and independent society. This is because in community empowerment the creation of an active and participatory community to achieve the goals to be achieved.

The paper deals with set phrases (phraseologisms, set comparisons, and proverbs) with the proper name component of the precedent and unprecedent nature in texts of modern Ukrainian media. The paper is focused both on the semantic and structural semantic transformations of set phrases with the proper name component and on creating the transformed phrases on the basis of the model. The paper traces the rate of transformations of phraseological units and proverbs with the proper name component of the precedent and unprecedent nature in the modern Ukrainian media discourse, investigates the types of transformations (semantic and structural-semantic), outlines the trends of transforming set phrases based both on Ukrainian and borrowed proper names, and describes the creation of transformed units on the basis of the model. The study is based on the material of biblical names, ancient names, mythological anthroponyms, names of historical persons and figures in modern politics as well as connotative onyms that are a component of the Ukrainian linguoculture, which were all investigated based on Ukrainian printed and electronic publications, Internet forums and blogs of the beginning of the 21st century.

Students in the Middle East have typically been taught English following traditional, rote learning methods. There has been little time, or little room, within the set curriculum for teachers to enrich their students’ learning experience. However, especially in the UAE, reforms are being implemented to change the way English is being taught. This paper illustrates how student autonomy can be fostered through the use of an on-line web application. The authors argue that weblogs (blogs), which allow students to publish their work on-line and allow for others to comment on the published work, support a new approach to teaching writing. Feedback from a group of students involved in a small study at the Higher Colleges of Technology support the authors’ claims.

O artigo apresenta os resultados parciais de uma pesquisa que investiga como as mudanças nos modos de leitura das notícias na internet estão provocando mais uma transformação contemporânea no jornalismo: a invisibilidade das home pages dos sites jornalísticos. Analisa como os acessos ao noticiário, por meio de links distribuídos em redes sociais, em ferramentas de busca e nos portais acarretam perda de sentido em um valor fundamental da cultura profissional. Após levantamento de dados sobre novos hábitos de leitura, empreende revisão bibliográfica sobre a home page e utiliza entrevistas em profundidade com jornalistas para compreender o impacto do silêncio da primeira página on-line nas rotinas produtivas. Conclui que, à medida que as notícias se desprendem do contexto original da edição, os profissionais sentem-se desafiados, mas sustentam que é preciso cumprir com sua responsabilidade social, destacando, em manchetes e chamadas, os temas de interesse público.
