TL;DR: In this article, the role of media and journalists in propagating cultural heritage news through social media platforms, and the narratives they tend to create in the digital public sphere, is assessed.
Abstract: In the era of big data, within the intense environment of social media, the effective communication of cultural heritage initiatives is considered of equal or—in some cases—even greater importance than heritage data themselves. Media and journalists play a critical and in some cases conflicting role in audience engagement and the sustainable promotion of cultural heritage narratives within the social media environment. The aim of this study was to assess the role of media and journalists in propagating cultural heritage news through social media platforms, and the narratives they tend to create in the digital public sphere. A qualitative approach is employed as a means of examining in-depth specific narratives, their meaning(s) and connotation(s), using semantic analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the poetry translation focusing on the basic concepts of cultural translation and the difficulties of Chinese poetry translation, and special attentions are paid on losses and the strategies in the translation.
Abstract: Translation is to reproduce the meaning and style of a source language text in a target language text in consideration of the cultural differences. Because of dramatic differences between the cultures, translators have to sacrifice something, such as time, religious connotation, and the wording of the original poem to obtain its aesthetic value and its original beauty. In this paper the author examines the poetry translation focusing on the basic concepts of cultural translation and the difficulties of Chinese poetry translation, and special attentions are paid on losses and the strategies in the translation. Beginning from the basic concepts of cultural translation, the paper expounds the essence of the cultural translation in order to lay a sound foundation for the following analysis of the poetry translation. In Part 2, the paper points out the difficulties of Chinese poetry translation that arise from the differences between Chinese and English cultures .Part 3 is a tentative analysis of the losses in the English translation of Chinese poetry and categorizes the losses into four groups:the loss of time;the loss of religious connotation ;the loss in wording; the loss of allusion. To address the losses, the author proposes several strategies such as free translation , transfer of allusion and annotation.

TL;DR: This paper proposes to build temporal ontologies from WordNet by iteratively learning from an initial set of time-sensitive synsets and different propagation strategies to give rise to different TempoWordNets.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose to build temporal ontologies from WordNet. The underlying idea is that each synset is augmented with its temporal connotation. For that purpose, temporal classifiers are iteratively learned from an initial set of time-sensitive synsets and different propagation strategies to give rise to different TempoWordNets.

TL;DR: The belief that the word ‘chromatography’ was coined by Tswett1 about 1906 is incorrect; it appears to have been widely used, though with a different connotation, for more than a century and a half previously.
Abstract: THE belief that the word ‘chromatography’ was coined by Tswett1 about 1906 is incorrect; it appears to have been widely used, though with a different connotation, for more than a century and a half previously. As so often happens, Tswett appears merely to have adopted an existing word and given it an additional meaning. Paradoxically, many modern works of reference define chromatography in every way but the one which would first spring to the mind of a chemist.
