by Artūras Serackis 15 May '18

15 May '18

Dear Colleagues, We are excited to introduce you a new initiative a Center of Excellence in IoT Science and Technology (InnoITeam). The CoE will leverage the knowledge, experience, and resources of three Lithuania institutions – Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and State Enterprise Centre of Registers of Lithuania - with the support of two advanced EU partners from Sweden – Linköping University and Interactive Institute Swedish ICT in Norrköping. During the first five years, the Consortium will focus on four R&D topics: 1. User interfacing and interaction design approaches for Smart Environments based on IoT. 2. Cybersecurity aspects of the Smart Environments based on IoT. 3. Data analysis and visualization approaches for data-intensive IoT environments. 4. Cognitive IoT technologies for Smart Home Environments. The InnoITeam project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and coordinated by the Kaunas University of Technology. The project has been already started in September (2017) and is finishing its first phase. During the second phase in a five-year period, the InnoITeam is planning to become a self-sustaining organization, integrating and supporting research excellence and innovation development in Lithuania, the Baltic Sea region, and Europe.

Internet research case study.
by Gerard Cheshire 15 May '18

15 May '18

Fellow AIR list members, Those of you interested in the power of the internet as a modern research resource may wish to read a couple of new papers. Recently the writing system of a Medieval manuscript known as MS408 was revealed to be proto-Romance: i.e. the origin of the Romance languages. In addition, it is written with a proto-Italic alphabet. It is the only known document of this kind and therefore has considerable linguistic value. Two papers have been issued, which explain the writing system and translate a number of excerpts as examples. They can be freely downloaded from the preprint website LingBuzz. 1. Linguistic Missing Links: http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003737 <http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003737>2. Linguistically Dating and Locating: http:<http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003808>//ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003808<http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003808> The internet proved vital in discovering the writing system of the manuscript, as it enabled the cross-referencing of millions of documents - old and new. Also, various dedicated linguistics websites enabled searches for obscure words and terms. The manuscript revealed that the language is a simplified form of spoken Latin, with various foreign and local words introduced to the mix. In addition, the alphabet is phonetically based, but uses symbols from various points of origin. To all intents and purposes, the writing system would appear to be a constructed language, as it seems to have been used only within the region of the Tyrrhenian Sea, west of Italy and subsequently became absorbed into the evolution of the modern Romance languages It seems that the language came about rapidly due to trade, slavery, migration, royal marriage and exchange of ideas between many and various cultures, as a means of common communication: a lingua franca. Thus, it was collectively constructed due to socio-ecological pressures in the Mediterranean, which was the hub of Occidental civilisation at the time. Nearby Naples was the most important port city in the region. Having been constructed, it then became the template for the modern Romance languages, which evolved when the political map caused populations to become relatively isolated during the Renaissance. Regards, G. E. Cheshire. University of Bristol.

Re: [Air-L] question

Hello! I am a doctoral candidate at Teachers College, Columbia University. My dissertation looks at craft, online crafting communities, and craftivism. I have a great deal of familiarity with these communities, both professionally and personally. I am trying to grapple with the issue of positionality in my research. How does my familiarity shape my interpretation? How do you reconcile an inner status with trying to retain a researcher’s impartiality or distance? Or is that impossible to expect? Any insights, thoughts, helpful article would be appreciated! Sandra Markus Doctoral Candidate || sm3291(a)tc.columbia.edu

Pre-ICA Symposium (FREE) - Reframing Media: Objects, Sites, Histories
by Zach McDowell 14 May '18

14 May '18

For those of you heading to ICA in Prague, check out this FREE symposium that might be of interest to AoIR folks next Monday. We are hoping to get a good conversation going between a lot of adjacent (but not always collaborative) subfields. <https://jussiparikka.net/2018/04/05/reframing-media-objects-sites-histories…> https://jussiparikka.net/2018/04/05/reframing-media-objects- sites-histories-in-prague/ *Reframing Media: Objects, Sites, Histories* May 21, 2018 2pm-530pm FAMU in Prague Smetanovo nábřeží 2, room U1 RSVP: http://bit.ly/reframingmedia Media studies has opened up new avenues of research across fields, helping to reframe the objects, sites, and histories of scholarly inquiry, providing a way to challenge accepted historical layers of social and technical arrangements. This symposium draws together critical intersections with media, applying postcolonial and feminist theories to contextualize and frame the mediated landscape, both past and present. Drawing from a variety of entangled theories and methodologies, authors engage with a variety of approaches, providing new insights for scholars from an array of backgrounds. This symposium also engages media itself through a media archaeological approach, reframing and interrogating our media so as to shed new understanding to our hyper-mediated world.

Seeking IRB to submit to?
by Peter Gloviczki 14 May '18

14 May '18

Friends, I work at a small liberal arts college and our IRB is on holiday for the summer. I am wondering if I may submit a project to another institution's IRB for approval? I asked my doctoral alma mater and they said that I was no longer eligible to do that (because I did not start this project there). I would welcome any insight and I am glad to compile a list of IRBs that would allow such a "guest" submission, for the benefit of the list. Thanks in advance, Peter -- *Peter Joseph Gloviczki, Ph.D.* *Assistant Professor of Communication and Coordinator of the Communication Program* *p* 843-383-8379 | *e* pgloviczki(a)coker.edu 300 E.
