Stirring up the Jameson/Ahmad debate: "national allegory" through a cultural realist perspective
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Inglês: Estudos Linguísticos e Literários, Florianópolis, 2013.Abstract : The main argument of this thesis is that the Jameson/Ahmad debate-articulated mainly around the universalism/particularism discussion-can be read from a cultural realist perspective, and that such a reading provides new possibilities for political engagement in postmodernism. The responses to the Jameson/Ahmad debate throughout the years have developed from an initial resistance to Jameson's conceptions-as they were seen as rigid concepts that endorsed macroconstructs-progressively towards an opening up for their polysemic potential, in particular in regards to the concept of "national allegory." With this research I seek to advance the debate a step further in this direction, suggesting that it is both possible and proficuous to read the debate through cultural realist lens, that is, considering the reality effects of macroconstructs. Such employment of the macroconstruct, then, far from endorsing it, constitutes the possibility for a political engagement with these reality effects.O argumento central desta dissertação é de que o debate entre Jameson e Ahmad - articulado principalmente em termos da discussão universalismo/particularismo - pode ser lido a partir da perspectiva do realismo cultural, e que essa leitura proposta permite que emerjam novas possibilidades de engajamento político no pós-modernismo. As reações ao debate entre Jameson e Ahmad ao longo dos anos partiram de uma resistência inicial à proposta de Jameson - conforme seus conceitos foram inicialmente interpretados como estruturas rígidas que endossavam macroconstruções - progressivamente em direção a uma abertura para uma potencial polissemia desses conceitos, em especial em relação ao conceito de "alegoria nacional". Busco com esta pesquisa levar o debate um passo adiante nessa direção, sugerindo tanto a possibilidade quanto a proficuidade de se ler o debate através da perspectiva do realismo cultural, isso é, considerando os efeitos reais das macroconstruções. O emprego das macroconstruções, portanto, longe de as endossarem, constitui a possibilidade de um engajamento político com seus efeitos reais
Bioanalysis Young Investigator: Niyaz Ahmad
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments Niyaz Ahmad is sincere, hard working and a meticulous person and has displayed tremendous research acumen. He has worked on the development and validation of bioanalytical methodology of various drugs using LC–MS/MS and in the process gained a great deal of research experience in bioanalytical method development, validation and analysis of unknown human volunteer blood samples on LC–MS/MS and their use in bioequivalence studies (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, etc.). In my opinion, Niyaz Ahmad is a suitable candidate for the award of ‘Bioanalysis Young Investigator’, and hence I would like to nominate him for the same. </jats:p
At Heidelberg with Moudud Ahmad
Get PDFThe impression that I formed from my Heidelberg rendezvouses with Moudud Ahmad is that the man was a true patriot and a believer in Bangladesh and in his religion. Those meetings left an incredible mark on me and increased my respect for him. I was in my early 30s at that time, and he was one of the top brass political élites of Bangladesh. His broadmindedness, self-esteem and esteem for others made it possible for him to be friendly with me and with those students at Heidelberg. His kindness and generosity struck a chord with me and have remained unforgettable

Modelling of extreme rainfall in Punjab: Pakistan using bayesian and frequentist approach
Get PDFIn this study we compared the efficiency of frequentist approach with Bayesian approach by carrying out extreme value analysis of Annual Maximum Daily Rainfall (AMDR). For frequentist frequency analysis of AMDR, we used the data of one station i.e. Lahore in Punjab province, Pakistan while for Bayesian analysis we used the data of three other neighboring stations as prior information. During frequentist approach, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) was found to be a best-fit distribution on the data. In frequentist method, the parameters of GEV distribution were estimated using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), while in the Bayesian framework the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation technique along with Metropolis-Hasting algorithm and Gibbs sampler were implemented. Findings of this study indicate that despite the asymptotic requirements of the MLE, its performance can be enhanced by adopting the Bayesian MCMC paradigm. In order to acquire the posterior densities of GEV parameters, non-informative and informative priors based on the historical data of surrounding weather stations were employed. The result of Bayesian MCMC might be affected by the choice of priors. In addition, the performance of the parameters estimation methods was verified by employing several robustness measures. Robustness measures results proved that the Bayesian MCMC method performed better than MLE in estimating GEV parameters and future return levels. Therefore, the findings of these analyses could be helpful in adopting proper flood protection measures and designing infrastructures of culverts, buildings, bridges and dams in the region
