State Of Affairs

Electronic communication accelerates the exchange of knowledge and information in areas of specialized knowledge. This state of affairs forces anyone involved in such communication (e.g. technical writers, technical translators) to remain up to date with new developments. Not only do professionals belonging to this group of people have to master the standard terminology of each specialized domain, they must also assimilate and understand the subject matter within which they are working. This article proposes a method for assembling and using specific corpora with a view to extracting from them systematic and bilingual knowledge relating to terminology, the conceptual relations between terms, and the knowledge that they represent. Special attention is devoted to the strategies that will enable professionals to use such corpora in English and in Spanish.

A commonly encountered criticism of present-day mathematics teaching is that we fail to take account of new developments; it is sometimes said that a mathematician of the seventeenth or eighteenth century could step into the modern class-room and be competent to teach any of the subject matter.

The International Court of Justice formed its first Chamber for dealing with a particular case in 1982; its second, in 1985; and, in 1987, its third and fourth ad hoc Chambers. This article examines what appears to be an accelerating trend toward recourse to ad hoc Chambers in the light of the provisions of the Statute and Rules of the Court and of its pertinent practice to date. The discussion seeks to elucidate four principal questions: •What is the subject matter that such a Chamber may properly dispose of?•Must such a Chamber be representative of the main forms of civilization and of the principal legal systems of the world?•How many judges shall constitute an ad hoc Chamber?•Shall the parties to the case have a voice in determining the composition of the Chamber as well as in the number of judges constituting it? Finally, this article appraises the record and potential of recourse to Chambers for dealing with a particular case.

Surveillance Applications

The most fascinating semiotic applications of recent years came not from semioticians but from those who practice semiotics without knowing they do so (what the author calls the Monsieur Jourdain syndrome). Military and surveillance applications, genome sequencing, and the practice of phenotyping are immediate examples. The entire domain of digital computation, now settled in the big data paradigm, provides further proof of this state of affairs. After everything was turned into a matter of gamification, it is now an exercise in data acquisition (as much as possible) and processing at a scale never before imagined. The argument made in this chapter is that semiotic awareness could give to science and technology, in the forefront of human activity today, a sense of direction. Moreover, meaning, which is the subject matter of semiotics, would ground the impressive achievements we are experiencing within a context of checks-and-balances. In the absence of such a critical context, the promising can easily become the menacing. To help avoid digital dystopia, semiotics itself will have to change.

The Annual Review of Psychology provides an important resource for the historian concerned with post-World War II American psychology. Published since 1950, the series offers summaries and evaluations by knowledgeable psychologists of developments within major areas of the discipline. The present study, based on author indices and tables of contents, indicates that the most frequently cited individuals were R. B. Cattell and British psychologist H. J. Eysenck, both prominent and prolific factor-analytic personality theorists and psychometricians; along with Hullian learning theorists; and a variety of individuals who made notable theoretical or empirical contributions, e.g., Harlow, J. J. Gibson, Festinger, Olds, Simon, Hebb, Rogers, and Skinner. Understandably, psychologists whose work was relevant for many years to a variety of consistently reviewed subject-matter areas tended to have the highest cumulative citation frequencies. Interestingly, the subject-matter area most extensively reviewed across the 25-year period examined was sensation-perception followed by areas within which factor-analytic or Hullian research had some relevance. The study also provides a breakdown of individuals frequently cited during the 1950–55, 1956–65, and 1966–74 subperiods, and an index of new developments as represented by changes in the tables of contents of the 25 volumes analyzed.

The Subject

Addressing both students and technical writers, Dr. Estrin discourses on the subject of why write for professional journals. The four benefits are an effect on professional advancement, an enhancement of prestige, financial payment, and “psychological” compensation. Some manuscripts are rejected because editors have similar articles, because the subject matter has been recently printed, and because the article may not hold the reader's interest. Five guidelines for selecting a subject are its timeliness, the availability of equipment, the contribution to the profession, one's interest in the subject, and the subject's objectivity. In selecting a journal, one must consider its editorial policy, its use of graphic aids, style sheet, and review policy, and the average length.

Preparation Techniques

The purpose of any specimen preparation technique is to prepare a sample of material ‘fixed’ in some way as near as possible to its native state, so that its structure has not changed significantly by the time the specimen is examined in the electron microscope, stained if necessary so that it gives adequate contrast, and, in some cases, additionally stained or labelled so that some chemically distinct part of the structure can be identified. Now, these techniques cover an enormous field of work, and at a relatively short meeting like this, one has to select some particular aspects of it. The subject-matter of section II is especially concerned with techniques which involve physical rather than chemical processing of the specimen, and in particular ones which are still only in rather restricted use.

Cultural Symbolism

The ProblemAnthropological analyses of cultural symbolism have often benefitted fron the commentary of gifted informants who have provided ethnographers with detailed symbolic exegeses of the rites and ceremonies of their societies. Ethnographers have usually signalled with enthusiasm such received help and offered profound thanks to their philosophically reflective friends, but at the same time few, if any, ethnographers have indicated a willingness to restrict their data to those offered by such exegetes. In part this reticence is perhaps due to the fact that reliance upon the knowledge or philosophical reflexions of ritual or religious virtuosi raises the question of a possible disparity between the explicit ‘theological’ or cosmological knowledge controlled by certain experts and the implicit working knowledge of practical religion as understood by the majority of its practitioners (cf. Leach 1968). Thus there arises the problem of the subject matter of investigation: should anthropological analyses of symbolism be directed toward explicit specialized knowledge or implicit common knowledge? Furthermore, is articulated knowledge part of the solution of symbolic analysis or is it more properly part of the data (Sperber 1975:x, passim)?

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

An outline has been presented in historical fashion of the steps devised to organize the central core of medical information allowing the subject matter, the patient, to define the nature and the progression of the diseases from which he suffers, with and without therapy; and approaches have been made to organize this information in such fashion as to align the definitions in orderly fashion to teach both diagnostic strategy and the content of the diseases by programmed instruction.
