Between The Data Act And The Gdpr: Attributing Responsibility For Data Sharing, Antoni Napieralski

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The normative links between the GDPR and the Data Act increase the complexity of attributing responsibility for data sharing under the Data Act. Due to overlaps in the material scope of the GDPR and the Data Act, exercising access rights stipulated by the DA leads to consequences in attributing controllership under the GDPR. Users who are not data subjects, together with third parties receiving the requested data, are likely to become joint controllers. Judicial interpretation of the concept of joint controllership effectively lowered the threshold of becoming a joint controller. In pursuit of the effective protection of the data subject, …

Writing To Learn: Creative Ld Perspectives For Learning Developers And Students, Sandra Abegglen, Carina Buckley, Tom Burns, Sandra Sinfield, Alicja Syska

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

Academic writing is a contested area, even more so in times of large language models and artificial intelligence (AI). This writing is tricky to navigate and master especially for newcomers – staff and students. Learning Developers almost uniquely play with writing as a practice of emergence and discovery. Academic writing is a process: we write to become academic. Students write to join their epistemic communities, and Learning Developers write to give birth to an emergent field.Drawing on recent work by Syska and Buckley (2022) and Abegglen, Burns and Sinfield (2022; 2023), we argue that academic writing is an initiation into …

It does so for the following contact stages and interactions between these languages following the Austronesian overseas dispersal: (Stage 1) early contacts between Austroasiatic and Malayo-Polynesian particularly in the early Neolithic in the area encompassing mainland Southeast Asia, Northwest Kalimantan, and Sumatra, often resulting in the transmission of faunal terms; (Stage 2) interactions between speakers of Mon-Khmer and Malayo-Chamic languages during the early development of statehood; (Stage 3) exchange of terms in the period of early Khmer, Cham, and Malay kingdoms. Some of these transmissions can be shown to have …

Malay (And Javanese) Loanwords In Frederick De Houtman’S Malagasy Wordlist, Alexander Adelaar

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Frederick de Houtman’s Malagasy language material (1603) consists of a wordlist and short prose texts. It represents a dialect spoken more than four hundred years ago in the Antongil Bay region on Madagascar’s northeast coast, which does not have a documented modern descendant. This chapter investigates Malay and (to a lesser extent) Javanese loanwords found in this material. Most of these loanwords are demonstrably old and can be dated to an era preceding the Malagasy migrations to eastern Africa thirteen centuries ago. They provide invaluable insights into the world of the early migrants to Madagascar and the degree of their …

The borrowing of foreign lexicon in Indonesian is well documented. However, to date, research on Korean loanwords has remained unavailable.

By collecting data on Korean culture from a selection of Instagram and Twitter (now X) accounts from the Indonesian community, our corpus shows that besides nouns, Korean loanwords also include adjectives and verbs. We identified 52 loanwords related to the domain of popular culture, including film, music, and …
