    ABSTRACT Munafidloh, Laelatul, 2017. “The difference of Compound Verbs ~hajimeru, ~dasu, and ~kakeru in Japanese language in terms of structure and meaning”. Thesis of Japanese Bachelor program, Diponegoro University. First thesis counselor Dra. Sri Puji Astuti, M. Pd. Second thesis counselor Elizabeth Ika HANR, S. S, M. Hum. This thesis is studying the difference of compound verbs ~hajimeru, ~dasu, and ~kakeru in Japanese language in terms of structure and meaning. The compound verbs of ~hajimeru, ~dasu and ~kakeru which expresses the innovative aspects or the aspects that expresses the beginning of circumstances and an activity which have appeared in so many times through conversations or even books. The three of compound verbs have the same meaning. They all mean “begin”. For those people who learn Japanese as a foreign language found any difficulties in understanding what’s the difference between ~hajimeru, ~dasu, and ~kakeru. That is the main reason why the writer finds the topic very intriguing. The intention of this research is to describe the equation and the difference between ~hajimeru, ~dasu, and ~kakeru in terms of its structure and meaning. The scope of this study is only through the aspects and semantics. The method used in this analyzing data is called distributional method, as for describing the results of analysis the writer used a descriptive method. Even though the compound verbs ~hajimeru, ~dasu, and ~ kakeru have the same meaning (begin), the three of them have a different initial situation. The compound verbs ~hajimeru states the beginning of an event that is likely to reach the end point. The compound verbs ~dasu states the beginning of a circumstances that occur suddenly. The compound verbs ~kakeru is an activity or circumstances that stopped even before it reaches its beginning and also an activity which has been started for a while. Finally, the conclusion from this research is that there are more compound verbs in Japanese which have the same meaning and the same aspects. The writer expects there will be further research about this compound verb especially in Japanese study. Keywords: hajimeru, dasu, kakeru, fukugou doushi, aspec

    Isotopic anatomy of an intraoceanic arc crust: example from the Jijal-Patan-Dasu area (Kohistan arc, Indus Valley, N Pakistan)

    International audienceLower to mid-crustal level rocks of the Jijal and Patan-Dasu complexes are remnants of a major plutonic phase that took place during the ∼110-90 Ma building stage of the Kohistan arc within the neo-Thetyan ocean. Now obducted along the Indus suture in northern Pakistan, the Kohistan Arc complex (KAC) is subdivided into a lower crustal ultramafic-mafic section (Jijal complex) and a middle crustal gabbro-dioritic section (Patan-Dasu metaplutonic complex). Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic analyses were performed on representative samples from each sequence of the KAC in view to (1) characterize the magma sources involved in the arc accretion and (2) define the genetic relationships between the various rocks throughout the arc section. The Jijal complex consists of an ultramafic section yielding scattered initial isotopic ratios and a granulitic-facies gabbroic section with limited isotopic variations (Dhuime et al., this session). The Patan-Dasu metaplutonic complex is subdivided into a basal unit of strongly deformed metagabbros and metadiorites, (Patan sheared gabbros and diorites, including the Sarangar gabbros), a middle unit of interlayered amphibolites, metagabbros and metadiorite sills (Kiru sequence) and an upper unit of meta-amphibolites, metapelites, metavolcanics and carbonates (Kamila sequence). Granitic intrusions are observed from the Kiru sequence to the top of the arc section where they become more abundant. The Sarangar gabbros yield isotopic ratios similar to the underlying Jijal gabbroic rocks. This strongly points to a common, homogeneous arc-like isotopic signature for both Sarangar and Jijal gabbros

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Implications of form postponement to manufacturing: a case study

    No full text
    Postponement is an approach that helps to deliver more responsive supply chains. Form postponement involves the delay of final manufacturing until a customer order is received and is commonly regarded as an approach to mass customization. However, while much is written in the literature about the benefits and strategic impact of form postponement, little is still known about its application. This paper addresses how form postponement was applied in terms of its operational implications within a manufacturing facility through a retrospective study that tracked implementation of form postponement in a manufacturer of specialist high-voltage cabling equipment, called here 'ElectriCo'. The operational measures for products selected for form postponement were compared with those for products that continued to be made under make-to-order and make-to-stock regimes. Propositions were tested that addressed the operational implications of form postponement within the manufacturing facility, the impact of form postponement on selected performance metrics, and the demand profile for which form postponement was the preferred regime. Multiple data collection methods were used whereby documentary, archival and database evidence were used to measure operational characteristics across a broad front. The findings show that form postponement improved responsiveness but did not necessarily improve delivery reliability. The extent to which the order lead time can be reduced is dependent not only on the responsiveness of the postponed process, but also crucially on the responsiveness of the planning system. It was found that the problem of adapting the manufacturing planning and production scheduling systems at ElectriCo had been underestimated. This and other problems subsequently undermined the form postponement application and led to its eventual abandonment. The authors are undertaking further research of form postponement applications in different production contexts to provide further evidence for its operational implications

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Can archives of audiovisual TV interviews be used to make authors more visible to students, and thereby reduce the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers in college classes? We examined students in a college course who learned about one scholar's ideas through watching an audiovisual TV interview (i.e., visible author format) and about another scholar's ideas through reading a formal text description (i.e., invisible author format). For the invisible author, native language speakers scored significantly higher than the non-native language speakers on a corresponding exam question (i.e., a cognitive measure), generated more words on the exam question (i.e., a motivational measure), and mentioned the author's name more often in answering the exam question (i.e., an affective measure). For the visible author, the groups did not differ on any of these measures. These findings provide evidence for the idea that making the author visible through audiovisual TV interviews can eliminate the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers. 3 Universities around the world serve students who are non-native speakers of th

    The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law

    No full text
    Abstract The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
