The role-oriented concept of programming is becoming more common in recent times. Expanding the traditional object-oriented paradigm, it allows us to apply a more flexible approach to the development of the information system and simplify the task of the developer. The use of role-oriented structures in modern applications raises the question of storing them in a database. The task of extracting homogeneous semantic entities from structured documents has a high potential for solving with the use of roles or their ...

Prediction and monitoring of earthquakes and human-induced seismicity is still a crucial issue primarily due to the random nature of that phenomena. The continuous monitoring of earthquakes made by seismology is well known and developed. The remaining effects of earthquakes ? ground displacements, are much more problematic in measurement. Moreover, estimation of the scale and extend of ground movements caused by that phenomena often requires a combination of several measuring and analytical techniques. Currently, ...

The study of ethnolingustics (also called cultural linguistics, linguistic culture studies), a relatively new discipline of an interdisciplinary nature, is currently explained by a number of factors related to the need of studying the relationship between language and culture. On the one hand, ethnolinguistics considers the cultural significance of language units and language concepts; on the other hand, it studies language as a means of cultural realization. Ethno-cultural education is aimed at the preservation o...
