This paper investigates the problem of the labelling of the library, documentation and information field with particular emphasis on the terms ‘information’ and ‘document’. What influences introduced the concept of ‘information’ into the library field in the middle of the twentieth century? What kind of theoretical orientations have dominated the field, and how are these orientations linked to ...

Many studies have used Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) traces to successfully extract segments of road networks because such data can be rapidly updated at a low cost. However, most studies have not focused on extracting intersections, which are indispensable parts of road networks in terms of connectivity. However, extracted intersections often present unsatisfactory precision and mi...

This article presents the results of many years research on creative life orientations carried out in socially diverse groups – among secondary school students, university and teachers as regards their socio-demographic characteristics. It describes theoretical assumptions analyses, being part author’s original concept orientations. discusses understanding this category, its interdisciplinary s...

patriotism and nationalism make up the two sides of the spectrum of national attachment; but with different meanings, tendencies, and outcomes. this article, based on the current theories about national attachment, tries to study this subject from a different point of view. the main goal of this article is to explain national attachment in the context of the positive feeling of people toward th...

This paper proposes a new connectivity-preserving protocol in terms of rectangle-like regions. The protocol consists of a set of distributed control rules; their working together guarantees the network connectivity as well as rendezvous of a discrete-time multi-agent system. It is assumed that all agents share a common minimum sensing radius, but the information exchange may suffer from link fa...
