The Creation

This paper describes the development of a systematic approach to the creation, management and curation of linguistic resources, particularly spoken language corpora. It also presents first steps towards a framework for continuous quality control to be used within external research projects by non-technical users, and discuss various domain and discipline specific problems and individual solutions. The creation of spoken language corpora is not only a time-consuming and costly process, but the created resources often represent intangible cultural heritage, containing recordings of, for example, extinct languages or historical events. Since high quality resources are needed to enable re-use in as many future contexts as possible, researchers need to be provided with the necessary means for quality control. We believe that this includes methods and tools adapted to Humanities researchers as non-technical users, and that these methods and tools need to be developed to support existing tasks and goals of research projects.

Linguistic Models

Abstract Microsyntax is a linguistic discipline dealing with idiomatic elements whose important properties are strongly related to syntax. In a way, these elements may be viewed as transitional entities between the lexicon and the grammar, which explains why they are often underrepresented in both of these resource types: the lexicographer fails to see such elements as full-fledged lexical units, while the grammarian finds them too specific to justify the creation of individual well-developed rules. As a result, such elements are poorly covered by linguistic models used in advanced modern computational linguistic tasks like high-quality machine translation or deep semantic analysis. A possible way to mend the situation and improve the coverage and adequate treatment of microsyntactic units in linguistic resources is to develop corpora with microsyntactic annotation, closely linked to specially designed lexicons. The paper shows how this task is solved in the deeply annotated corpus of Russian, SynTagRus.

Citizen Science Project

The main goal of Nodos is to promote the collective creation of semantic knowledge regarding performing arts. Recording and curating information about these expressions contributes to the preservation of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, as defined by UNESCO. One of the challenges related to the preservation of information is the large amount of people involved in the creation and development of scenic arts and the dynamism in these theater pieces. The large number of plays presented every year makes it difficult to keep records up to date, resulting in the loss of knowledge about many cultural pieces. This article introduces a way to record such cultural heritage in the context of a citizen science project. Nodos defines an ontology regarding performing arts and also uses a semantic wiki that helps in the implementation of the ontology. An evaluation of usability shows Nodos as an effective initiative to preserve and study performing arts. Keywords: Semantic Wiki; Intangible Cultural Heritage; Performing arts ontology.

Medicinal Use

In 2015, in Republic of North Macedonia, a new law for narcotics has been adopted, where the changes include legal cultivation of cannabis for medicinal use as well as legal production of cannabis extracts for medicinal use. In order to gain high quality of cannabis and cannabis products for medicinal use and to meet some quality standards that will guarantee consistency, traceability and continuous quality of the product, it is necessary to implement Quality Systems. Good quality system is ISO standard system but for cannabis for medicinal use, GACP, GMP and GLC standards are used more often. Production of cannabis for medicinal use consists of: process of cultivation where GACP standards are applicable, primary processing where GMP standards are the most important and quality control of final product regulated with GLP standard. In this review, explanation of these standards as well as overview of modes of their implementation has been made. Keywords: GxP, GMP, GACP, GLP

Introduction. The actual problem of dentists-orthopedists at the present time is a violation of the odontopreparation protocol and, as a result, poor-quality fixation of various non-removable orthopedic structures. For a strong and reliable fixation of non-removable orthopedic structures, special requirements must be imposed on them in terms of the shape and surface of the support of the processed tooth. These requirements include: parallelism of the walls of the prepared tooth (must be cylindrical); parallelism of the vertical walls of the stumps of the teeth, high-quality gingival ledge [1], [2]. Qualitatively prepared teeth for orthopedic structures, observance of parallelism of the walls create optimal conditions for stable fixation of orthopedic structures. Correctly executed gingival ledge promotes durable fixation of the crown and eliminates the likelihood of infection under it. After analyzing a large volume of domestic and foreign literature, it can be concluded that the creation of various methods of odontopreparation with the task of creating the most favorable supragingival part of the tooth for further fixation of the orthopedic structure is a significant problem in modern dentistry. The creation and clinical testing of DNT (dental navigation technologies) allows for accurate quality control of the performed odontopreparation. The purpose of this article was to analyze the existing methods of odontopreparation and identify the most effective ones among them.

The Creation

To carry out research projects, clinical trials and other studies in the field of personalized medicine, it is necessary to have collections of high-quality biological samples of various types. With the development of biomedical technologies, the need for large collections of biological samples will grow every year, which necessitates the creation of various biobanks for standardized collection, storage and distribution of such samples. One of the goals of the National Association of Biobanks and Biobanking Specialists is the development of a network of Russian biobanks interacting with each other at various levels, as well as the development and implementation of organizational and legal tools for its regulation. It is required not only to standardize the access and exchange of biological samples and data, but also to create a unified terminology that will be used by biobanks throughout Russia. The main aim is to create an accurate, professional and legally correct tool containing information accessible and understandable to a wide range of researchers.

Alongside Teaching and Research, Italian universities are also committed to Public Engagement activities featuring teaching and cultural initiatives for a non-academic audience. At the University of Ferrara, this commitment was translated into an exhibition in April 2019, originating from a virtuous union of cultural heritage and teaching activities. The creation of the “Natura Naturata” exhibition involved the synthesis of taught courses and research by the University of Ferrara's Industrial Product Design students together with their teachers, in collaboration with librarians. In the Product Design 2 Workshop, students develop exhibition projects, starting from the curatorial concept, through the construction, up to the graphic-communicative aspects and the creation of information and teaching tools. The exhibition was created based on the study of rules used to properly protect library assets so that students could gain specific skills for the preparation of bibliographic exhibitions. It took shape in the Chemistry and Life Sciences Library Santa Maria delle Grazie to emphasize the importance of the University's tangible and intangible cultural heritage with the intention of conveying the 'world' of library collections – and also the University's historical and architectural heritage - to students, scholars, and citizens.

The article presents the perspectives and pratices of Museu do Patrimônio Vivo de João Pessoa. For this, analyzes the museological process that operates in the Greater João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The museum's mission is community development by proposing actions to safeguard intangible heritage together with young people from the communities involved. The article explores the conceptual innovations that made possible the creation of a museum without walls, located in representative places of cultural activities - such as home cultural masters and agents, work places, parties, celebrations and games - and to be construed as environment dynamic, joint construction, promoting the connection between cultural actors from different communities. Keywords: Museum; museological process; Intangible Cultural Heritage; João Pessoa.
