  • The Perception of the “English Element” in Croatian ICT Magazines with Undergraduate and Graduate Computer Science Students
    The perception of the “English element” in Croatian ICT magazines with undergraduate and graduate computer science students Daniela Matić University of Split (Croatia) [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on the results of a questionnaire distributed to a group of undergraduate computer science students at a Croatian university who had English in computer science 1 and 2 as ESP mandatory courses and then to a group of graduate computer science students who used to have these English courses. The central part of the questionnaire focused on the “English element” - language borrowings at various levels of orthographical, phonological and morphological adaptation to Croatian and unadapted expressions collected from Croatian information and communications technology (ICT) magazines. The main aim was to establish whether the students from both age groups found the “English element” acceptable in the standard Croatian language of journalistic register and to what extent. The results showed that the “English element” was perceived as predominantly acceptable, and the more adapted the terms were to Croatian, the less acceptable they were, regardless of the students’ age and personal and professional development. Keywords: language contacts, ESP, acceptability, English element, Croatian ICT students. Resumen La percepción del “elemento inglés” en las revistas croatas de TIC en los estudiantes de grados y posgrados de informática Este artículo se centra en los resultados de un cuestionario distribuido a un grupo de estudiantes de informática en una universidad croata que cursaron los Ibérica 35 (2018) : 201-226 201 ISSN: 1139-7241 / e-ISSN: 2340-2784 Daniela Matić cursos Inglés para Informática 1 y 2 como cursos obligatorios de inglés específico y a un grupo de estudiantes de posgrado que cursaron estos cursos de inglés.

Livestock breeders complain about the extensive damage done to the livestock, hunters blame the wolf for the decrease of game populations, while many people regard it as a bloodthirsty, life- threatening animal. Such, mostly negative attitudes towards the wolf have existed ever since people started dealing with livestock breeding. Former communities of nomads and hunters saw in wolf a model of a perfect hunter, and many nations considered it their ancestor or their brother.

  • Anglicisms in Electrical Engineering Terminology a New Word Is Like a Fresh Seed Sown on the Ground of the Discussion
    Anglicisms in Electrical Engineering Terminology A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion. (Ludwig Wittgenstein) Preliminary Communication Yvonne Liermann - Zeljak J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Electrical Engineering Kneza Trpimira 2b, Osijek, Croatia [email protected] Abstract – This paper addresses the problem of increasing penetration of Anglicisms in electrical engineering terminology, with particular emphasis on computer terminology. This widespread phenomenon is part of a larger language process influenced by globalization, in which the boundaries between languages have become less rigid. Furthermore, the problem of their integration into the Croatian language system is analyzed. Examples excerpted from Croatian popular magazines and scientific journals in the field of power engineering and computer science are analyzed in accordance with the work of Rudolf Filipović. Consequently, the analysis is carried out on the level of orthography, phonology, morphology, and semantics, but also on the level of word formation. In the end, standardization issues of Anglicisms are tackled. Keywords – adaptation, Anglicisms, electrical engineering terminology 1. INTRODUCTION [2]. According to some research, Anglicisms1 account for more than 40 % of all loanwords in most European Borrowing is part of a linguistic phenomenon called languages which calls for meticulous attention and neology.

Thank you!” M Y “Everything was great! I'm sorry you're leaving. You have left an important mark on the development and structure of non-governmental organizations in Croatia.” CM MY “A flexible approach to the financial and professional support to NGOs; recognition of needs “as we go”, clear, unambiguous communication based on respect. Congratula- CY tions!” CMY “Who will organize conferences after AED leaves? Thank you for the support and K knowledge you have provided over the past years. Conferences and workshops were a great place for CSOs to socialize, exchange experiences, establish new contacts and cooperation. I wish luck to all AED staff in their future work, and hope that we will continue cooperating - personally or professionally. Thank you!” “Through its varied and well-adjusted grant programs, the CroNGO Program introduced new topics important for the development of civil society in Croatia, increased the capaci- ties of a large number of NGO activists and gave the chance even to small organizations. All in all, I think that the support provided by this program was among the most compre- hensive kinds of support to the development of civil society in Croatia.

  • Arm System-On-Chip Architecture.Pdf
    Preface Aims This book introduces the concepts and methodologies employed in designing a system-on-chip (SoC) based around a microprocessor core and in designing the microprocessor core itself. The principles of microprocessor design are made con- crete by extensive illustrations based upon the ARM. The aim of the book is to assist the reader in understanding how SoCs and micro- processors are designed and used, and why a modern processor is designed the way that it is. The reader who wishes to know only the general principles should find that the ARM illustrations add substance to issues which can otherwise appear somewhat ethereal; the reader who wishes to understand the design of the ARM should find that the general principles illuminate the rationale for the ARM being as it is. Other microprocessor architectures are not described in this book. The reader who wishes to make a comparative study of architectures will find the required informa- tion on the ARM here but must look elsewhere for information on other designs. Audience The book is intended to be of use to two distinct groups of readers: • Professional hardware and software engineers who are tasked with designing an SoC product which incorporates an ARM processor, or who are evaluating the ARM for a product, should find the book helpful in their duties. Although there is considerable overlap with ARM technical publications, this book provides a broader context with more background. It is not a substitute for the manufac turer's data, since much detail has had to be omitted, but it should be useful as an introductory overview and adjunct to that data.

    Moore’s Law evolved the PC industry; Bell’s Law disrupted it with players, phones, and tablets: New platforms, tools, and services Gordon Bell 4 January 2014 Technical Report MSR-TR-2014-2 Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley Laboratory Microsoft Corporation 835 Market Street. Suite 700 San Francisco, CA 94103 Moore vs Bell Class Disruption 1 January 4, 2014 Moore’s Law evolved the PC industry; Bell’s Law disrupted it with players, phones, and tablets: New platforms, tools, and services This (his)story is about the establishment of players, smartphones and tablets as three new computer classes i.e . de facto, standards based “platforms” for personal computing 2001-2010. The three classes can be explained by Bell’s Law, described in Appendix 1: hardware technology, networks, and interfaces allows new, smaller, more specialized computing devices to be introduced to serve a computing need – in this case, mobile and sensory personal computing. The cloud computing platform class c2005 played an essential role for anywhere, anytime, anything and personal computing by supplying: robust IP networking via cellular, Wi-Fi, and wire line; storage; processing and supporting user interfaces UIs. A class’s origin can be traced to earlier developments combined with recent technology to create a new experience, resulting in new applications that ultimately establish a distinct new industry. The timeline of various events of this past decade saga describing the three classes (players, smartphones and tablets) is given in Appendix 2, for the reader as a “memory refresher” of the events and time scale. Appendix 3 further elaborates more details that have determined these new platforms.
