Adrianus van Selms
No full textAdrianus van Selms (1906-1984) was a Dutch pastor (1930-1938) who became senior lecturer and professor in Semitic languages at the University of Pretoria (1938-1972) and lecturer in Biblical archaeology (1938-1962) at the Faculty of Theology of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (Dutch Reformed Church of Africa). He was an acknowledged academic in South Africa and abroad and the author of numerous publications. His books were predominantly in Dutch, but he wrote most of his articles in English, thus they are theoretically accessible to the scholarly public.
A number of articles, however, were published in Dutch and Afrikaans, dialects that are less easy to comprehend by those not familiar with the said two languages. The present book is an attempt to overcome the linguistic barrier and to present in a summarised way Van Selms’ contributions in three Dutch journals (Onder Eigen Vaandel, Nederlands Theologish Tijdschrift, and Kerk en Theologie), two academically-orientated Afrikaans journals (Hervormde Teologiese Studies and Acta Classica) and three journals of a more popular nature (Die Hervormer, Pro Veritate and Almanak). In total, 87 separate articles (discussed in 79 sections) of Van Selms receive attention
Adrianus Schrieckius : de la langue des Scythes à l'Europe linguistique
No full textThis paper presents a detailed analysis of the reasonnings of an author belonging to the Flemish School, Adrian von Schrieck or Schrieckius (1560-1621). His line of arguments is that of an historian of the indo-european civilization. He endeavours to show that the Scytho-celtic or Belgian tongue was the first to be found after the confusion of Babel. He carries out a segmentation of the word-forms of the original language; the resulting list of segments is then applied ta the words of various languages. These segments are therefore seen as universally recurrent forms.Pierre SWIGGERS: Adrianus Schrieckius De la langue des Scythes à l'Europe linguistique. Le but de cet article est d'examiner en détail l'argumentation d'un auteur de l'école flamande Adrian von Schrieck, ou Schrieckius (1560-1621). Schrieckius procède en historien de la civilisation indo-européenne; il s'efforce de montrer que la langue scytho-celtique ou belge a été la première langue après la confusion de Babel. Il opère une segmentation des formes des mots originaires; la liste des segments ainsi obtenus est alors comparée aux éléments des différentes langues. Les segments sont donc des formes universellement récurrentes.Swiggers Pierre. Adrianus Schrieckius : de la langue des Scythes à l'Europe linguistique.

From madrasah to museum : a biography of the Islamic manuscripts of Cape Town
No full textThis paper focuses on the Islamic manuscripts of Cape Town, locally referred to as kietaabs, written by Muslims predominantly in the 19th century, in jawi (Arabic-Malay) and Arabic-Afrikaans. Inspired by the idea of a 'biography' of the archive and 'the social life of things', the study traces the life of the kietaabs, from their creation and original use, to their role in contemporary South African society, as objects of heritage and identity. It approaches the kietaabs as objects, emphasizing their movements, status and use, rather than their content
Exploiting Monotonicity Constraints in Active Learning for Ordinal Classification
No full textWe consider ordinal classication and instance ranking problems where each attribute is known to have an increasing or decreasing relation with the class label or rank. For example, it stands to reason that the number of query terms occurring in a document has a positive in uence on its relevance to the query. We aim to exploit such monotonicity constraints by using labeled attribute vectors to draw conclusions about the class labels of order related unlabeled ones. Assuming we have a pool of unlabeled attribute vectors, and an oracle that can be queried for class labels, the central problem is to choose a query point whose label is expected to provide the most information. We evaluate dierent query strategies by comparing the number of inferred labels after some limited number of queries, as well as by comparing the prediction errors of models trained on the points whose labels have been determined so far. We present an ecient algorithm to determine the query point preferred by the well-known active learning strategy generalized binary search. This algorithm can be applied to binary classication on incomplete matrix orders. For non-binary classication, we propose to include attribute vectors in the training set whose class labels have not been uniquely determined yet. We perform experiments on articial and real data
Exceptional Model Mining
No full textFinding subsets of a dataset that somehow deviate from the norm, i.e. where something interesting is going on, is a classical Data Mining task. In traditional local pattern mining methods, such deviations are measured in terms of a relatively high occurrence (frequent itemset mining), or an unusual distribution for one designated target attribute (common use of subgroup discovery). These, however, do not encompass all forms of “interesting”. To capture a more general notion of interestingness in subsets of a dataset, we develop Exceptional Model Mining (EMM). This is a supervised local pattern mining framework, where several target attributes are selected, and a model over these targets is chosen to be the target concept. Then, we strive to find subgroups: subsets of the dataset that can be described by a few conditions on single attributes. Such subgroups are deemed interesting when the model over the targets on the subgroup is substantially different from the model on the whole dataset. For instance, we can find subgroups where two target attributes have an unusual correlation, a classifier has a deviating predictive performance, or a Bayesian network fitted on several target attributes has an exceptional structure. We give an algorithmic solution for the EMM framework, and analyze its computational complexity.We also discuss some illustrative applications ofEMMinstances, including using the Bayesian network model to identify meteorological conditions under which food chains are displaced, and using a regression model to find the subset of households in the Chinese province of Hunan that do not follow the general economic law of demand

A Quantitative Comparison of Semantic Web Page Segmentation Approaches
No full textThis paper explores the effectiveness of different semantic webpage segmentation algorithms on modern websites. We comparethree known algorithms each serving as an example of a particular approach to the problem, and one self-developed algorithm,WebTerrain, that combines two of the approaches. With our testingframework we have compared the performance of four algorithmsfor a large benchmark we have constructed. We have examinedeach algorithm for a total of eight different configurations (varying datasets, evaluation metric and the type of the input HTMLdocuments). We found that all algorithms performed better on random pages on average than on popular pages, and results are better when running the algorithms on the HTML obtained from the DOM rather than on the plain HTML. Overall there is much room for improvement as we find the best average F-score to be 0.49, indicating that for modern websites currently available algorithms are not yet of practical use
POLA PERTUKARAN SOSIAL GAMERS ONLINE (Studi Deskriptif Kualitatif Tentang Pola Pertukaran Sosial Gamers Online di Dragon Game Center Kelurahan Jebres, Kecamatan Jebres, Kota Surakarta)
No full textAdrianus Fajar Surya Dharma,D0305012, POLA PERTUKARAN SOSIAL
GAMERS ONLINE(Studi Deskriptif Kualitatif Tentang Pola Pertukaran Sosial
Gamers Online di Dragon Game Center Kelurahan Jebres, Kecamatan Jebres,
Kota Surakarta). Skripsi.Surakarta. Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik,
Universitas Sebelas Maret, April 2012
Tujuan penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk untuk mengetahui Pola Pertukaran
Sosial dan Pola permainan yang terjadi pada Gamers online. Penelitian ini
merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang berusaha memberikan gambaran
tentang perilaku apa saja yang dilakukan para Gamers Online di Dragon Game
Center. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan teori pertukaran sosial menurut
George C Homans. Teori ini menyebutkan bahwa prinsip psikologi umum yang
mengubah atau mempengaruhi perilaku manusia lebih karena akibat dari interaksi
dengan manusia lain, daripada interaksi atau pengaruh dari lingkungan fisik. Lokasi
penelitian dipilih karena di game center Dragon terdapat banyak gamers online yang
kecanduan berat game online dan terdapat di daerah padat di belakang kampus
Universitas Sebelas Maret. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini
menggunakan observasi partisipasi dan wawancara Kemudian teknik pengambilan
sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Snowball Sampling.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bagaimana pola permainan game online
dan pola pertukaran sosial gamers online. Mereka melakukan kegiatan bermain game
secara berkesinambungan hingga gamers menghabiskan uang untuk memenuhi
kebutuhan karakter gamenya, menghabiskan waktu untuk bermain game dalam
mengejar level ataupun untuk berdagang guna mencari uang dan juga kehilangan
kehidupan sosial mereka di lingkungan masyarakat karena jarangnya bersosialisasi di
masyarakat sekitar mereka. Mereka mendapatkan teman sesama gamer dari seluruh
Indonesia. Mereka bermain karena memiliki tujuan untuk mendapat pengakuan
sebagai dewa di game yang mereka mainkan, atau bahkan hanya mencari uang
dengan cara berjualan item, berjualan uang game yang di tebus dengan rupiah, atau
menjadi joki untuk menaikkan level. dari game tersebut.mereka bermain game pula
mendapatkan punishment yang berat, seperti dimarahi orang tua, kuliah menjadi
terlantar dan drop out.

Adrianus Fajar Surya Dharma, D0305012, THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE PATTERN
OF ONLINE GAMERS (A Descriptive Qualitative Study on the Social Exchange
Pattern of Online Gamers in Dragon Game Center, Kelurahan Jebres, Jebres
Subdistrict, Surakarta City). Skripsi. Surakarta. Social and Political Sciences Faculty,
Sebelas Maret University, April 2012.
The objective of research was intended to find out the Social Exchange
Pattern and Game Pattern occurring in Online Gamers. This study was a descriptive
qualitative research attempting to give a description on any behavior exhibited by the
Online Gamers in Dragon Game Center. In this study, the author employed a social
exchange theory according to George C. Homans. This theory mentioned that the
general principle changing or affecting the human behavior was more due to the
interaction of one human with another, than to the interaction or the effect of physical
environment. The research location is in Dragon game center,in where there were
many severely addicted online gamers and it was located in dense area behind
Sebelas Maret University campus. Technique of collecting data used in this research
was participatory observation and interview. Then, the sampling technique used in
this research was Snowball Sampling.
The result of research showed how the gaming pattern of online game and the
social exchange pattern of online gamers. They played the game continuously thereby
spent much money to meet their game character need, spend much time to play the
game in catching the level or to trade in order to earn money and also lose their social
life in society environment because they socialized very rarely with the society
surrounding. They made fellow gamers throughout Indonesia as their friend. They
played because they had shared objective to be recognized as the god in the game
they played, or even only to earn money by means of trading the item, to trade the
game money redeemed with rupiah, or to become jockey to raise the level of the
game. They playing the game also got severe punishment, such as reprimand from
their parents, their education was distracted and drop out.
