In this communication, we provide an overview of two international events in the field of encyclopedic studies and lexicography that took place in 2025. These include the International Encyclopedia Conference in Rome, organized by the Treccani Institute of the Italian Encyclopedia on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, which brought together representatives of leading national encyclopedic projects from Europe and around the world. The discussions focused on the challenges and strategies for developing encyclopedic resources in the digital age, the integration of artificial intelligence, the modernization of editorial practices, and the role of encyclopedias in fostering critical thinking and digital literacy. The conference emphasized the importance of international cooperation and the preservation of scholarly standards in a rapidly evolving global information environment. The second event—the LETS 2025 International Seminar, organized by Universiti Putra Malaysia—was dedicated to preserving and revitalizing linguistic heritage through digital technologies. Its program covered a wide range of topics, from innovations in lexicography and terminology to corpus-based studies, machine translation, mobile applications, and the documentation of minority languages. Special attention was given to presentations addressing the status of encyclopedias as authoritative sources of knowledge and the interplay between traditional and technological approaches in contemporary humanities. Both events underscored the growing role of encyclopaedics and lexicography in shaping the digital knowledge infrastructure and sustaining intercultural dialogue.
In the era of global digital communication, encyclopedic resources have become vital instruments of humanities education and historical memory. A successful example is the Holocaust Encyclopedia of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum—a digital platform that combines the functions of a reference work, an archive, an educational resource, and a space for public reflection. The purpose of this article is to examine this resource as a phenomenon of contemporary encyclopedic culture. The study employs descriptive-analytical and historiographic methods, combining an analysis of scholarly publications with a structural and functional review of the Holocaust Encyclopedia itself. It demonstrates that the project has undergone several stages of development—from an electronic museum tool in the 1990s to a modern multimedia encyclopedia. Today, the resource includes nearly one thousand articles in English, some of which have been translated into nineteen languages, including Ukrainian. Owing to its well-designed content strategy, multimedia features, and interactive tools, it has become one of the most influential online resources on the Holocaust. Its materials are easily discoverable within the Ukrainian digital space. The article outlines prospects for creating a similar digital project in Ukraine, noting that the Holocaust Encyclopedia may serve as a methodological and technological model for future Ukrainian initiatives that combine academic rigor, educational purpose, and openness to a global audience.
Three official compilations of Buddhist encyclopedias were undertaken in China between the 1950s and 2000s. A sociological examination of these compilations reveals notable characteristics of the Buddhist knowledge system. Firstly, the production of knowledge manifests distinct regional attributes; it is not a process of standardization or objectification, but reflects local idiosyncrasies determined by its place of origination. Secondly, the majority of modern encyclopedia compilations are integral to the construction of national knowledge systems; hence, a nation’s ideological tendencies profoundly influence the articulation of knowledge. Lastly, knowledge is transferred through two mediums: texts and people. Given the immutability of classical knowledge and the consistency of knowledge producers during this period, the results of the three compilations exhibit numerous commonalities.
The role of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) in halal labeling is still considered ineffective. So, the government enacted Law Number 3 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantees. Through this regulation, the authority for halal certification is given to BPJPH, through the Halal Center. The role of the Halal Center in improving the halal economy also has various challenges in terms of human resources, producer compliance, and the need for cooperation with related institutions. This research aims to determine the role of halal centers in boosting the halal economy in the Indonesian halal industrial sector. This research is a qualitative descriptive type of research. The research sources used come from books, scientific journals, encyclopedias, literature, works of scientists, and relevant websites. The object of this research is the role of halal centers in improving a sustainable halal economy in the halal industrial sector. The results of this research can conclude that the role of halal centers through certification, education, product innovation, and supervision is considered effective in improving the halal economy in the halal industrial sector in Indonesia. It is proven that in 2020, the number of halal certification registrations was 11,103, and in 2023 the number increased to 155,451.

In modern scientific literature, the opinion is firmly established: «... a systematic study of burn injury in our country began in the mid-30s of the XX century». How historically accurate is it? This fact determined the relevance of the study of the Russian medical periodicals on the topic «Burns» for the period of the XIX – early XX centuries. The obtained data testify to the active work of Russian specialists not only in the study of the peculiarities of local and general manifestations of burn injury, but also in the development of diagnostic and treatment methods. They collected and analyzed the statistics of burns of various etiologies, under various conditions of human life, and also carried out experimental work. They published the obtained results in various medical publications: newspapers, magazines, manuals, encyclopedias, etc., which were published on the territory of the Russian Empire. Our doctors have formulated a number of fundamental conclusions that are not disputed by anyone in the 21st century. For example: even superficial first-degree burns, manifested only by hyperemia and moderate edema of the skin, with a large lesion area can lead to death, in contrast to skin inflammatory diseases characterized by similar local manifestations and proceeding relatively favorably for the general condition of a person. In addition, it became clear that the pathology under consideration should be treated by a doctor who knows its features and optimal treatment methods. Otherwise, long-term wounds can be fatal at a time when the threat to the victim’s life seemed to have passed. Experimental studies conducted since the middle of the 19th century have not only strengthened the evidence base of research works, contributed to the writing and defense of thematic dissertations, and had a significant impact on the scientifically grounded development of new methods of treatment.
. As it is known since the 19th century, the history and historian of the more developed scientific path in the frame of only the past and collecting and collecting information has been evaluated for Criticizing and analyzing the data with the method of scientific research and decreasing the information gained the value of its science in other sciences. In addition, orientalism and eastern works and products, as another phenomenon, proved the importance of eastern history and eastern civilizations by historical researchers and scientific and literary centers, but easternism is beyond that argument. open and can be done about the refineries and incentives in the activities of foreign and western orientalists that are evaluated and appreciated from the different poles but gradually the eastern field was getting wider and richer , part of the khurmani The information collected and recorded by the Orientalists themselves was printed and published within the framework of encyclopedias, including the (Islamic Encyclopedia), which provides us with a source of rich information about the history and civilization of the people. Islamic and Eastern, which is involved in the dissemination of more information and knowledge about eastern history in general and the Islamic era in particular, is certainly part of what it is like in the Islamic era because of the development of historical writing and protection. The information was available as original materials, sources, and detailed and accurate information records to benefit Western writers and researchers and make them the basis and raw materials available for writing and preparing The Ensclopedia of Islam.
The purpose of this research was to examine the information-seeking processes employed by junior high school students from Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada when using CD-ROM encyclopedias. The study revealed that participants needed both instruction and practice to develop the skills and strategies needed for fall-text searching of CD-ROM encyclopedias. The participants tended to use search terms only from the original question, had difficulty selecting topics and articles from the retrieved list, and did not read long articles as carefully as short articles. Instruction related to information-- seeking skills and strategies should focus on generating search terms, selecting topics from a retrieved list, and, skimming and scanning through text to find the answer.
The purpose of this study is to find out how parents play in training the speech of deaf children.

Muslims are taught to eat clean and safe food. Islam is very concerned about the source and cleanliness of food, how to cook, how to serve, how to eat to how to dispose of leftovers. The concept of Islam in food is actually the same as the concept of Islam in other respects, namely the concept that maintains the safety of the soul, body, and mind. Halal food is allowed because it benefits the mind and body. Conversely, bad food is not allowed because it will damage the mind and body.

The article describes the phenomenon of the electronic encyclopedia activity and investigates the electronic Internet encyclopedias created by the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. It has been discovered that electronic encyclopedias can be divided into several varieties, the main of which is online encyclopedias, which are highly distinguished in comparison with classical printed publications by the characteristics caused by the development of information technology. In accordance with this division, the national academic encyclopedic resources are characterized in the article. The idea of the importance of creating an online encyclopedia about the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is presented; it also argued that current online encyclopedias are not fully equipped with a wide range of technological opportunities for their use.
The article deals with the problem of representation of an author Karel Klostermann (1848–1923) and
his novels in Czech literary-historical handbooks, editorial prefaces, and encyclopedias. The article
exposes the way in which Czech literary historiography works with the myth of Karel Klostermann
as a documentarist of the ‘old Bohemian Forest’ (Šumava in Czech). An analysis of the above three
distinct text types reveals that Klostermannʼs central topic — an unprecedented windstorm that had
terminated the ‘original Bohemian Forest’ — is mostly seen not as a motive but as the fact (as well as
in the recent discourse on Bohemian Forest National Park). However, the concepts of ‘monumental
and naturally stable forest’ or ‘sudden epochal break’ were paradoxically known only from the novels
of Karel Klostermann, who worked with them inconsistently. The article shows that Czech literary
historiography does not deal with Klostermann’s fiction critically but rather replicates common
stereotypes and dominant narrative about the past of the Bohemian Forest.
This article discusses the principles of classification of document texts from the point of view of records management and document linguistics; studies features of the terms of fixing the scope of the text (ambiguity, the presence of a strict definition, independent of context) and the scope of the operation (formal and substantial variability and others.); characterizes the specificity of multiple meanings, synonyms and variants of the terms used in the document texts; indicates the factors influencing the selection of the term for the document text. The authors propose to identify the main types of document texts in terms of terminological vocabulary representation and allocate mixed-type texts along with term-using (scientific, technical documents, secondary documents, etc.), term-fixing (standards, terminological dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, classifications, etc.), and term-generating (documents or scientific texts devoted to document studies). The article presents the regulation as a document text of mixed type in terms of the use of terminological units. We give a definition of the regulation as the document, which is characterized by its form, the features of compositional structure and content of speech organization of the text; we also analyze the terminology of the field this document, structure recorded therein terminological units. Regulation is defined as a term-using, term-fixing, and a termgenerating text.
This article examines the content of the De Virtutibus Herbarum, an astrological herbal manual by Thessalos which displays the healing and marvelous properties of plants that correspond by means of sympatheia with the twelve zodiacal signs and the seven planets.* In particular, the article aims to demonstrate two scholarly points: 1) the dependence of the treatise upon already formulated rhizotomic and astrological ‘encyclopedias’ through a comparative analysis of some intertextual examples derived from various authoritative writings; and 2) the departure of the manual’s preface from this existing tradition in order to highlight its textual authenticity.
