Abstract:
History text book is a historiography work for educational purpose. The historiography exposed in the history text book is definitely different from historiography of another scientific history book. The practical purpose of education becomes one of the important goals of composing the history text book. The history understood from history text book can do more than only developing the student’s historical awareness. The historical awareness can be detected in the attitude expressed by the students, such as their sense of nationality, partriotism, unity, willingness to sacrifice, etc. However, the history books composition, including the history text books, cannot avoid the spirit of the period it was written. According to the historiography development in Indonesia, the history text books has been written based on nederlandocentrism, indonesiacentrism, ideologism, and scientific, which are the result of how the spritit of a period affected the history text composition. This research analyse the historiography of history text books that are used in school, especialy in how these history text books appropriately reconstruct historical events with the spirit of a period and how it is composed based on scientific rules of history science.

Abstract:
During the early adoption of e-books, this unfamiliar digital format was made more palatable through analogy to the printed book. Texts were divided into ‘pages’ that could turn on screen, and e-book repositories were referred to as ‘libraries’. However, as digital texts have increasingly taken on characteristics of digital systems, the metaphor of the printed book has lost currency. Given the limitations of this conventional metaphor for the digital text, I propose an alternative conception, one that is as archaic in origin as the printed-book metaphor, yet surprisingly robust for describing the customizable texts of today’s Academy: the metaphor of movable text. The image derives from German printer Johannes Gutenberg’s 15th-century innovation for the mass production of books, a mechanical system that used paper, ink and the relatively cheap and reusable display of cubed, metal letters that could be arranged and rearranged into words on a tray ready to be pressed into print. This metaphor of book-as-movable text is useful in that it captures how the form of the academic textbook is now entangled with its process, as much as its context. But, how does this metaphor apply to the academic text in particular? If a movable academic book asks to be interpreted, does the mobility of meaning that it creates defy such interpretative engagement? In this article, I argue that when automated texts are effectively scaffolded by cultural critiques, they can support deep research processes. To become more effective, these searches demand focus as much as evaluation and thus drive towards the crafts of collation, synthesis and eventual reconfiguration.

Abstract:
Books have a significant role in the diffusion of cultural information since they not only carry the weight of cultural inheritance but also serve to preserve historical culture. The major goals of contemporary book layout design are to establish harmony and coherence; maintain overall coordination between the internal and external; and have distinctive, inventive, and modern aesthetic impacts in the context of the educational metacosmos. It is important to emphasize the artistic value and beauty of contemporary books using proper creative language design strategies. The discussion of contemporary book layout design therefore helps to increase understanding of contemporary book layout design. This essay briefly addresses book layout design and examines how books are constructed in colleges and universities. Based on the educational metauniverse environment, it outlines a number of issues that should be taken into account when designing the book’s layout. Layout analysis and text image preparation methods are used in modelling. The experimental findings indicate that this algorithm can recognise text regions with an accuracy of 94.8% and a recognition rate of 94.5%, respectively. It is concluded that the method suggested in this work has some reference value for the advancement of university book layout design and can be applied effectively in layout analysis and text typesetting.

Abstract:
The need for information in the form of books or scientific articles at the Library of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang continues to increase. To make it easier to find book information, one of which is by classifying books based on the type of category. In classifying library book data, the Nearest Neighbor Classifier method in data mining can be combined with text data extraction techniques to classify library book title text data. The purpose of this study was to classify the text title of library books using the Nearest Neighbor Classifier to determine the type of book category. This research method uses the Nearest Neighbor Classifier data mining classification technique. The results of this study are that the highest accuracy value is found at K = 12, which is 72.50%, and the model formed can be used to classify books with labels 2x0, 150, 2x2, 400, 020, 2x1, 657, 500, 375, 302.2, 800. and cannot be used for classifying books with class labels 070, 370, 330, 300, 600, 340, 700.

Abstract:
Abstract Television plays a major role in the lives of children. This studies examines one aspect of children’s television – the reading of picture books. Interaction centred around picture books has been shown to be an important element in the acquisition of literacy. Mediated picture books and “live” picture books encourage different patterns of interaction between reader and child. The reading of a television picture book, unlike that of a live picture book, is a text, not an interaction centred about a text. Such texts can form the basis of useful interactions between children and others, but exposure to mediated picture books alone does not appear to replace the function of “live” picture book reading in the acquisition of literacy.

The book industry historically has been characterized as caught between two seemingly conflicting goals: to contribute to the cultural life of the society and to make a profit. As the most influential medium for information about books, the text of the New York Times Book Review reflects that conflict and marks the boundary between books as culture and books as commerce in a way that maintains an artificial distinction between high and low culture.

Integrating nonfiction picture books into reading instruction can provide middle level learners with motivation, engagement, and mentor texts. When teachers combine picture book instruction with teaching text structures, middle school students gain a better understanding of how texts are organized, strategies for recalling information, and approaches to use in their own writing. In this article, the authors discuss classroom practices appropriate to for teaching text structures through nonfiction mentor texts and provide a list of popular children's books appropriate to use in this instructional practice.

Abstract:
Recent research suggests that caregiver–child extratextual talk during shared book reading facilitates the development of preschool children’s oral language skills. This study investigated the effects of the amount of picturebook text on mother–child extratextual talk during shared book reading. Twenty-four mother–child dyads (children aged 3;01–3;11) were video-recorded as they read two books: low text and high text. Book reading interaction was transcribed, and mothers’ extratextual talk coded for level of abstraction, mean length of utterance and lexical diversity. The mean number of extratextual utterances was calculated for mothers and children, separately. Low-text books facilitated a similar amount of extratextual talk, but higher rates per minute because of their shorter reading durations. The amount of text did not affect the level of abstraction, mean length of utterance, or lexical diversity of maternal extratextual talk. The amount of picturebook text should be considered by those developing and implementing interactive reading interventions. Low-text books facilitate the same amount and quality of extratextual talk in shorter time periods.

Abstract:
In this article, we offer information about the specific challenges US Latino immigrant children face. We then determine which of these challenges are included in 72 award winning children’s picture books, specifically created for and/or about Latino children. Our analysis offers information to assist school-based mental health professionals, children’s librarians, educators, and parents in prescriptively selecting books that align with Latino children’s social emotional needs. Additionally, we analysed each book’s proportion of Spanish/English text and described the book’s targeted age level and Horn Book Guide rating. From our perspective, books containing colorful illustrations that include Latino children, realistic situations, familiar Spanish words and phrases, and true-to-life characters help Latino children engage and identify with these stories. Children’s book author Pat Mora also explains her perceptions of quality children’s literature. Although this article is specific to Latino children’s literature, implications are offered that generalize to other ethnic and cultural groups that are typically underrepresented in children’s literature.

Tamil is a language of great antiquity, rich in literature, moral ideas and sweetness. Nannul says virtue, material, pleasure and home are important for a man to lead his life happily. Eleven books out of eighteen books (Pathinenkeelkanaku text) in Tamil literature are books of virtue. Virtue is a knowledge-based philosophy of living by thinking of good deeds that bring as much benefit as possible to all human beings during their lifetime. Morality removes the selfish thoughts of a man and leads him to live a happiest life. All these eleven books of virtue consist of many moral ideas that are helpful for human beings. This article examines the overall virtues in the text and has presented the special features in them.

Abstract:
[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian] Starting from the premise that the book is a world in itself, which sometimes invades reality, that the “reality” of the city is “literaturized” in the sense given to it by Bertrand Westphal, and so the city is a book, we present a technology intended to complement electronic reading with contextual information. Automatic language processes working on the original text adorn it with electronic artefacts that highlight mentions of entities and relations between them, thus revealing semantic links within the text and outside it, towards web pages and maps, or helping readers initiate and access communities of people preoccupied with sharing readings. The first instantiation of the “Mapping Books” system allows the reader using a tablet or another mobile device to navigate outside the book, pertaining to the geographical entities that the book contains. “Mapping Books” pushes the interactivity with the book content well beyond the usual hypertext links: a mapped book can contextualise instantaneous positions of the user while reading, as well as her/his personality and cultural preferences. Although rooted in a given, constant text, once associated with a specific reader, the book is personalised to enhance reading satisfaction and maximise guiding. The actual effects of such a technology remain to be studied.

Abstract:
Reading picture books to pre-literate children is associated with improved language outcomes, but the causal pathways of this relationship are not well understood. The present analyses focus on several syntactic differences between the text of children’s picture books and typical child-directed speech, with the aim of understanding ways in which picture book text may systematically differ from typical child-directed speech. The analyses show that picture books contain more rare and complex sentence types, including passive sentences and sentences containing relative clauses, than does child-directed speech. These differences in the patterns of language contained in picture books and typical child-directed speech suggest that one important means by which picture book reading may come to be associated with improved language outcomes is by providing children with types of complex language that might be otherwise rare in their input.

Abstract:
Nowadays, electronic book vendors are increasingly proactive in trying to strategically capitalize on online big data generated by consumers. It will bring great profit for vendors if they can make the most of online reviews to figure out the impact of online data on the selling prices of e-books. In this paper, we complement an emerging body of research to explore how e-book prices could be affected by online information via analyzing the sheer volume of online data from e-book websites, namely, we first employ a domain ontology-based method to select the most discriminative features that may affect e-book prices. Then, the topic modeling method latent Dirichlet allocation and aspect-oriented sentiment analysis methods are applied as a supplement. Using the multiple regression method, we identify the key features that may have effects on the prices of e-books and give the related regression equation. In our results, some factors including paper book prices, paper book pages corresponding to the e-book, and e-book content have significant effects on the price of e-books. The managerial implication is that e-book firms can obtain a reference price for an e-book and may dynamically adjust the price to increase e-book sales according to our data analysis results.

Abstract:
John Milton's 1644 declaration that ‘Books are not absolutely dead things’ makes him a rock star among undergraduate English majors who are covetous of the material, reassuringly physical book. This essay explores that metonymic dichotomy through a project that combined the ‘old’ technology of the hand-press book and the ‘new’ technology of GIS story-telling. Using a visiting special collection of rare books for students at a small college, the project approached hand-press era books in three phases: 1) a bibliographic description and transcription; 2) book forensics, and 3) a ‘deep map’ of a book. With mapping—understood as an expression of spatial thinking—as a guide, students recognized that the singular text, even the dialogic text, is far less remarkable than locating and articulating the links between history, place, literature, and culture. Students engaged with terminology (descriptive bibliography), recognized the temporal lines of the book as an object (provenance), followed the development of a book as a polyglotous intellectual entity, and reviewed the geographic/historical experiences of the author and of the book (biography, publishing). The spatial turn allowed students to construct (and in some cases, deconstruct) the cultural world in which texts, authors and printers collide.

Abstract The main aim of this article is to study the communicative functions of visual metonymies in a sample of picture books written and illustrated by Anthony Browne, an internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of children’s books. The three tales selected for analysis are Voices in the Park, Gorilla and Piggybook, all of which have been highly praised by critics and become universally accepted as classics. Within the frameworks of visual social semiotics and cognitive linguistics, the strategies available to the illustrator to represent characters in picture books have been identified and analysed in the contexts where they were produced. The results of the analysis show that visual metonymies are used in Browne’s picture books essentially to highlight or minimize a character’s status over another fictional actor, to ascribe negative qualities or attitudes to the main characters and, in turn, to foreshadow what is yet to come in the story.

Abstract:
The commonplace book has long provided readers-turned-writers space for textual reflection. In A New Method of Making Common-Place-Books, John Locke asserts a defined schema for the creation of this intentionally usable and personal genre, one more organic than journaling, more deliberate than note-taking. Despite renewed interest in literary ephemera of this sort, the commonplace book collectively remains on the periphery of literary studies, perhaps because the volumes found in today’s libraries reflect such varied experiences. However, it is precisely this variation that reveals insight to the readerly patterns and expectations of the time. Ranging from decorative flourishes and echoes of printers’ marks to richly scrolled title pages and evocative vignettes, the materiality of the commonplace book offered in these moments signals a heightened concern by readers to consider the visual potential of the text as part of their reading experience. This analysis looks at scattered remnants of eighteenth-century commonplace books for compelling examples of image and text relationships that reflect illustrative models from the print market.

Abstract:
Body text: Typography and the corporeality of literature In one of his fragments, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg explains that German books printed with roman type, instead of the then default gothic type, always give him a feeling that he needs to translate them – evidence, he says, of “the degree to which our concepts are dependent on these signs”. The article elaborates on this thought. It explores the relation between literature, text (abstract and material), and typography, and argues – by means of bibliographical theory, Goethe’s mother, Jean-Luc Nancy, Roman Ingarden, and a diagnostic comparison between hand writing and digital fonts – that the longstanding, idealistic view, within literary criticism and history, of texts’ ‘content’ as independent of books’ and texts’ materiality and form, obstructs scholars’ striving for understand-ing. Text is not only representation; it is also presentation. Text has form, and the form produces meaning.

A review of: Levine-Clark, Michael. “Electronic Book Usage: A Survey at the University of Denver.” Portal: Libraries and the Academy 6.3 (Jul. 2006): 285-99. Abstract Objective – To determine if university library users are aware of electronic books, and how and why electronic books are used. Design – Survey. Setting – University of Denver. Subjects – Two thousand sixty-seven graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and staff. Methods – In Spring 2005, the University of Denver faculty, and graduate and undergraduate students were invited to participate in a survey about awareness and use of electronic books. A link to the survey was also posted on the library’s home page and on the university’s Web portal. The 19-question survey consisted of 11 questions to get feedback about electronic books in general, five questions focused on netLibrary, and the remaining were demographic questions. Eligibility to win one of two university bookstore gift certificates provided incentive to complete the survey. Main results – Surveys were completed by 2,067 respondents, including undergraduate students (30.1%), graduate students (39.1%), faculty (12.5%), and staff (11.8%). Results were reported by question, broken out by status (undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty) and/or by discipline (Business, Humanities, Nontraditional, Professional, Sciences, Social Sciences), and presented in tables or in the text. In general, most respondents (59.1%) were aware that the library provides access to electronic books. The library catalog and professors were the main ways respondents learned about electronic books. Approximately half (51.3%) indicated they had used an electronic book. Of those who indicated that they used electronic books (1,061 respondents), most (72%) had used electronic books more than once. The main reasons mentioned for choosing to use an electronic book included: no print version available, working from home makes getting to the library difficult, and searching text in an electronic book is easier. When asked about typical use of electronic books, most respondents indicated they read only a part of an electronic book; only 7.1% of 1,148 respondents indicated they read the entire electronic book. In answer to a question about choosing the print or electronic version of the same book, 60.7% responded that they would always or usually use print, and 21.5% indicated they would always or usually use electronic. The amount of material to read, the need to refer to the material at a later time, and the desire to annotate or highlight text are all factors that influence whether users read electronic books on a computer or PDA, or print out the material. U.S. government publications and netLibrary were the electronic resources used the most by survey participants. Conclusion – The results of this survey suggest the need to market availability of the library’s electronic books. Problems associated with the use of electronic books are related to reading large amounts of text on a computer screen, but a reported benefit is that searching text in an electronic book is easier. Responses to the survey suggest that the use of electronic resources may not be generic, but rather depends on the type of resource (content) being used. The author notes that this finding should lead to further investigation of which items will be preferred and used in which format.

Abstract:
Response text is one of the texts that must be mastered by junior high school students. To understand the response text, it is necessary to study the structure and content of the response text first. For this reason, the research objective is to describe the structure and content of response texts to Itam and U books in Indonesian textbooks for Class VII Middle Schools. The research method uses the qualitative content analysis method of the Mayring model. Data collection techniques used documentation techniques sourced from Indonesian language textbooks for Class VII Middle Schools published by the Center for Curriculum and Books. The main instrument is the researcher assisted by data tabulation and coding. Data were analyzed using the Mayring content analysis model. The results of the study show that the structure of the response text to Itam and U books in Indonesian language textbooks for Class VI Middle Schools are context, description, and assessment. Context as the part that contains the introduction of the book to be responded to. The description contains a more detailed explanation of the contents of the book, from story ideas, plot, to the characters. While the assessment contains the reader's personal assessment of the book, including its shortcomings, strengths, and suggestions for the book.

Abstract:
This article presents the first attempt to shed light on an important source study issue: the degree of Ivan Bunin’s participation in the preparation of book editions of his early works of 1887–1902. In the light of the work on the first academic Complete Works and Letters of Ivan Bunin, it is necessary to investigate this problem in its own right in order to determine which editions are ‘authorial’ and thus can be considered sources for the textual work with the writer’s early works, and which editions are not. Drawing on all the known evidence (correspondence, publishing contracts and agreements, biographical data of the writer), we have examined in detail the history of the publication of several books by Bunin (poetry and prose collections). The degree of N. D. Teleshov’s participation in the preparation for the publication of two books by Bunin was estimated (proofreading and signing the book into print). Non-author’s book editions of Bunin’s works, to which the author had no relation whatsoever, have been identified (therefore, they cannot be sources for the scholarly (critical) publication of the writer’s works).

In the essay, we will deal with the models of the photo book of artists in conceptual art 1966–80. A short sketch of the international history of photo books in conceptual art will be presented, ranging from the examples of American, British, Croatian, and Serbian authors, etc. We will point out to the two levels of discussion: (1) the essential morphological properties of the book, artistic books and photo book in conceptual art – the transformation of static photographic image into a series of sequences and a series of sequences into mental representation; and (2) typology of characteristic models of photo books in conceptual art (book-project, artist's book as a first-person speech, tautological articulation of a series of photographs, analytical reflection between image and text, documentary book etc.). We will also discuss photo books in conceptual art in relation to models: phototautology, photodocuments, photoperformance, photoselfreflectivity, photoarchive, photo-remediation, photosemiology, photoshifter, photoconceptual text, phototravellers, photo-construction-of-the-every-day-life, phototranscultural narration, photoexistence, photopolitization and photo-simulation.

A student of mine, Andy Ohrman, received a thoughtful but unusual gift from his sister. It is an old arithmetic book she had stumbled on at a New England yard sale. Although the pages are brittle and browned by time, their contents are quite legible. Knowing that her brother is studying to be a mathematics teacher, she purchased it for him. The book's front page bears the title The Columbian Arithmetician and declared the author's ambitious mission to present a “New System of Theoretical and Practical Arithmetic Performed in Simple and Compound Numbers adopted to the Commerce of the United States and Designed for the Instruction of Youth.” Its author remains anonymous, identifying himself pointedly as “an American”; however, the printer is clearly designated as William Allen of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and the year of publication 1811. Andy knew of my interest in old mathematics books and lent it to me to read.

The article presents the Book of Proverb’s teachings concerning work and laziness. The analysis is based on the pericope of Prov. 6:6-11 which focuses on the juxtaposition of human sloth and animals’ industriousness. The text shows human work in its extremes and expresses the author’s most significant ideas concerning the aspect analyzed here. The article begins with the synthesis of what the didactic books of the Old Testament teach about work, with particular emphasis on the Book of Proverbs. The article then offers an exegetical analysis of the selected pericope, including the Greek text of Prov. 6:8a-c, where the book’s translator mentions another model of diligence alongside the ant, namely the bee. Prov. 26:13-16 is also referred to here, for the text plays a significant role in completing the picture of lazy man.

Abstract:
Background of the study: Giving book code by a librarian in accordance with the Decimal Dewey Classification system aims to facilitate the search for books on the shelf precisely and quickly. Purpose: The first step in giving code to determine the class of books is the principal division which has 10 classes.Method: This study proposed Optical Character Recognition to read the title text on the book cover, preprocessing the text, and classifying it by Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network. Findings: In general, a librarian labeled a book by reading the book title on the book cover and doing book class matching with the book guide of DDC. Automatically, the task requires time increasingly. We tried to classify the text without OCR and utilize OCR which functions to convert the text in images into text that is editable. BY the experimental result, the level of classification accuracy without utilizing OCR is higher than using OCR. Conclusion: The magnitude of the accuracy is 88.57% and 74.28% respectively. However, the participation of OCR in this classification is quite efficient enough to assist a beginner librarian to overcome this problem because the accuracy difference is less than 15%.

Abstract:
The article examines the correlation of two indices characterizing the level of linguistic or semantic complexity of the book content. The first index is the age rating in accordance with the Russian Age Rating System for information products. The second index is the ease of understanding of the text, calculated based on the common readability metrics. The author compares the values of readability metrics for texts with different age rating scores. The experiments were carried out on the collection of 5,516 book previews collected by the author of the article. The previews used are freely available in electronic libraries, and they have age rating scores obtained from their publishers. In accordance with the system adopted in the Russian Federation, age rating scores characterize the book’s targeting to the following age categories: 0+, 6+, 12+, 16+, and 18+. In most cases, the size of the book preview is 10% of the full text, which makes it possible to calculate readability indices. The collected texts were scored according to five commonly used readability metrics: Flash-Kincaid Index, Coleman-Liau Index, ARI Index, SMOG Index, and Dale-Chell Formula. As a result of the readability assessment for the texts of each age category, the author obtained recommended levels of education necessary for their understanding. The obtained values were averaged within the age category and analyzed. The results of the experiments allow asserting that in most cases there is a direct relationship between the age rating score of the book and the expected level of education required to understand it. Moreover, readability scores in accordance with all the considered metrics are directly proportional to age rating scores for age categories from 0+ to 16+. The readability scores of books in the 18+ category roughly correspond to children’s literature, which is apparently explained by the genre characteristics of the books marked by the 18+ label. First of all, the results obtained indicate the adequacy of the existing approach to assessing the book age rating in terms of attributing the text to the target audience by age. Secondly, the relationship between readability indices and age rating scores allow using the values of readability metrics as text features in various computational linguistics tasks aimed at text addressee prediction.

Abstract:
Given two open books with equal pages, we show the existence of an exact symplectic cobordism whose negative end equals the disjoint union of the contact manifolds associated to the given open books, and whose positive end induces the contact manifold associated to the open book with the same page and concatenated monodromy. Using similar methods, we show the existence of strong fillings for contact manifolds associated with doubled open books, a certain class of fiber bundles over the circle obtained by performing the binding sum of two open books with equal pages and inverse monodromies. From this we conclude, following an outline by Wendl, that the complement of the binding of an open book cannot contain any local filling obstruction. Given a contact [Formula: see text]-manifold, according to Eliashberg there is a symplectic cobordism to a fibration over the circle with symplectic fibers. We extend this result to higher dimensions recovering a recent result by Dörner–Geiges–Zehmisch. Our cobordisms can also be thought of as the result of the attachment of a generalized symplectic [Formula: see text]-handle.

Abstract:
This article considers today’s ‘post-digital’ political publishing through the material forms of an experimental book, The 2015 Baltimore Uprising: A Teen Epistolary. Anonymously published and devoid of all editorial text, the book is comprised entirely of some 650 screen-grabbed tweets, tweets posted by black Baltimore youth during the riots that ensued on the police killing of Freddie Gray. It is a crisis-ridden book, bearing the wrenching anti-black terror and rebellion of Baltimore 2015 into the horizon of publishing. Drawing on critical theories of books and digital media, and bringing Saidiya Hartman and Frank Wilderson to bear on issues of publishing, the article appraises seven aspects of this book’s materiality: its epistolary structure and rupture with the book-as-closure; its undoing of the commodity form of books; the ‘poor image’ of its visual scene; its recourse to facial redaction and voiding of narrative progression; and its destabilization of readers’ empathy.

Abstract:
Die in den niederschlesischen Archiven aufbewahrten Stadtbücher bilden in ihrer Gesamtmenge auf den ersten Blick eine mehr oder weniger geschlossene Textsorte. Wenn man sie aber texttypologisch und textlinguistisch im Einzelnen untersucht, stellt es sich in vielen Fällen heraus, dass sie viel heterogener sind als es zu sein schiene. Ein durchschnittliches Stadtbuch ist nämlich oftmals ein thematisch und formal recht uneinheitliches Konstrukt. Vor allem in den kleineren Stadtkanzleien waren die Rats- oder Gerichtsbücher sehr mannigfaltig, denn man verzeichnete in ein und demselben Buch ganz unterschiedliche Angelegenheiten oder Informationstypen, für die die größten Städte getrennte Bücher führten. So sind viele Stadtbücher Ansammlungen von Texten verschiedener Sorten, wobei neben kalligraphisch gestalteten Urkunden von kollektivem Belang flüchtig aufgezeichnete Notizen individueller Geltung auftauchen, die für die Geschichte des Ortes keine größere Bedeutung hatten. Aus diesem Grunde lässt sich das ‚Stadtbuch‘ eher mit dem Begriff ‚Textallianz‘ bezeichnen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird versucht, diese Annahme an einem ausgewählten Textbeispiel nachzuweisen.The manuscript of the First City Book from Schweidnitz in light of text-alliances and text-types problematicThe city books preserved in the Lower Silesian archives at first sight form in their total amount more or less one closed type of text. But when they are examined in detail from the text-typological and text-linguistic perspective, it turns out in many cases that they are much more diverse than they seem to be. An average city book is often thematically and formally a rather mixed construct. Especially in the offices of smaller towns, where the books of councils or courts were varied, you could find in the same book quite different matters or types of information, for which the largest cities kept many separate books. So there are many city books that are, so to speak, collections of different types of texts, where in addition calligraphically designed certificates of collective concern and fleetingly recorded individual application notes emerge, which had no greater significance for the history of the place. For this reason, it is possible to call the city books rather “text-alliances” than only a “text-type”. In this paper an attempt is made to prove this assumption based on a selected example of a medieval text from Lower-Silesia.

The algorithm is tested to find the key letters for different ciphertext sizes and key lengths. The results shows 100% correct letters retrieved from medium size ciphertext and short key length, while 90% of the ciphertext is retrieved from long ciphertext and medium key length, and 82% of the ciphertext is retrieved from long ciphertext and long key.

Abstract:
Studies of early Australian accounting texts and their authors have yet to be augmented by examinations of the subsequent specialist books which were written to guide accounting practice within specific domains, such as the pastoral and mining industries. This study examines the contents, use, and influence of an early specialist pastoral accounting text entitled Station Book-keeping, which was published in Australia in five editions over the period 1900 to 1937. The life and career of the book's author, Francis Ernest Vigars, are also outlined. Station Book-keeping described and advocated a comprehensive system of double-entry accounting for pastoral stations and is posited as a key medium by which this technology was adapted and transferred for use by these entities. In turn, it is argued that Vigars' book, by extending the use of conventional accounting technique, facilitated greater involvement by professional accountants within a major Australian industry.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the problem of textuality of the Old Believers’ community, where the text was an argument in proving the illegality of the actions of the reformers, determined the ideology of the movement, the political, social views of the participants, and the peculiarities of the religious life of the communities. Due to the appeal to ancient manuscripts and early printed books, a fund of citations was formed, that testified to the validity of Old Believers’ point of view on innovation. Having inherited from the scribes of Ancient Russia respect for the book, bordering on its sacralization, the opponents of church reform began to treat the selected fragments of texts in a similar way. As a result, the “canon of sacred texts” was formalized. As a result, these extracts began to be perceived by the Old Believers as reflecting the tradition of the Russian Church and equated to the reading of the Holy Scripture. The Old Believers used the fund of fragments of authoritative texts, formed by several generations, describing the tradition of the Russian Church, the defenders of which they proclaimed themselves. The canon of Sacred Texts was composed not only of extracts from ancient manuscripts, but also from pre-Nikon Moscow printed editions. Extracts from books published in the time of Patriarch Iosif, the content of which should be characterized as the creative heritage of the Kiev Metropolis, adapted for the Russian reader, became fundamental. Turning to the analysis of church policy in the first half of the 17th century allowed to conclude that the Church, solving the problem of religious education of the population, introduced these texts into circulation. Consequently, opponents of church reform had reason to use them by description of the Russian tradition.

In this work the peculiarities of reading comprehension from electronic, audio devices and hard copies were studied through comparative analysis of the learning accuracy and electrical activity of the brain when reading or listening to the text. Eighty students took part in the research. They were offered 2 passages of text from fiction and popular-scientific literature for reading, presented in a form of an e-book, MP3-format and in a printed copy. The level of comprehension and assimilation of the read material was checked by testing based on the content of the text immediately after reading and in 2 weeks. The comparative EEG analysis did not reveal significant differences in the spectral power of the studied ranges when reading a paper book and e-book. Differences were found when listening to audiobooks comparatively to reading. In general, the effectiveness of text learning does not depend on the way of its presentation, however, sex and individual traits of a person, such as preferred learning style and extraversion level, are more important.
