The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Ang Tao sa Ka-taw-an at sa Ka-tau-han: Pag-uugnay sa Pagpapakatao, Pakikipagkapuwa-tao, at Pagkatao
No full textIsang pagsasaliksik ito sa wika at lingguwistika ng ‘tao’ na, ang katagang ugat ng kambal na katawagang katawan at katauhan pati ugnayan nitong dalawa sa pagiging tao, pagpapakatao, pakikipagkapuwa-tao’t pagkatao. Isang etnolingguwistika ang isinagawa para matuklasan sa paggamit ng wika ang mga kahulugan ng katawagang katawan at katauhan. Isa ring sikolinguwistika ito sa kaalamang kubli sa magkaugnay ngang konsepto ng katawan at katauhan. Kinapa-kapa ang kahulugan at kaalaman sa mga dokumentong nasusulat mula sa sinaunang diksiyonaryo hanggang sa mga publikasyon sa Internet ang ‘tao.’ Sinimulang usisain sa ilang piling kantang Pilipino ang paglalarawan sa tao. Pagkatapos sinuyod pagkatapos ang mga katawagang kasalukuyang pantukoy sa katawan na naglalarawan di lamang sa tinutukoy nito kundi sa pakahulugan sa katauhan. Sinuri pagdaka, ang mga salitang may ‘tao’ sa pamamagitan ng pagtukoy sa pag-iiba sa pagpapakahulugan ayon sa bagong Gramatikang Pilipino. Tinuklas sa nabuong mga salitang may tao sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuri sa panlaping ikinakabit dito, hal., kung ano ang kahulugan at anong kaugnay nitong ekspresyon at metapora. Tinukoy rin ang nakapaloob ditong hayag man o di-hayag na pag-unawa sa ugnayang katawan-katauhan. Ang salitang ‘tao’ kung tutuusin ay siyang ‘katawan’ din, katagang nilapian (ka-tao-an). Kita agad ang katawan dahil may anyo’t hugis ang katibayan nito. Kaya kung sabihing ‘tao po?’ at nagkataong wala nga’y sapagkat walang katawan, manapa ng katauhan doon. Kaya rin mistulang mistiko o himala kung sabihing nagkatawang-tao dahil walang katibayan nito at sapagkat ito’y pag-uulit, isang negasyon ng realidad. Sinasabi pa na katawang lupa’t di katawang tao. Ang tao’y kabuuan na, iisa ang katawa’t katauhan. Halimbawa ang mukha sa may ka-taw-an nito ay hindi hiwalay sa ka-tau-han niya, siya ngang totoong tao. Kaya kung sabihing ‘makapal ang mukha’ ay dahil ito nga’y walang hiya. Ang talamak na tiwali o mandaraya’t mandarambong ay sinasabihang makapal ang mukha, walang dangal, walang pagkatao. Sa sukdulan, itinuturing na ‘hayop’ ito. Ang pagkatao’y tinataya sa ikinikilos o iniuugali ng katawan sa pagpapakatao, dahil ito’y kaniyang katauhan o pagkatao. Ang hindi ‘marunong mahiya’ ay hindi natuto sa pagpapakatao o nakatatanto ng pagkatao
양하측 수평시야결손으로 나타난 양측 후두엽 뇌경색
No full textPURPOSE: Horizontal visual field defects are generally caused by lesions before the optic chiasm, but we report a case with bilateral inferior altitudinal defects secondary to bilateral occipital lobe infarction.
CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old male with a history of diabetes and hypertension presented with a month of blurring in the inferior visual field. His corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in the right eye and 0.63 in the left eye, and the intraocular pressure was normal in each eye. Pupillary response, ocular movement, and color vision tests were normal in both eyes. There was no specific finding of the optic disc and macula on fundus examination. Visual field examination revealed an inferior congruous homonymous hemianopia with horizontal meridian sparing and a left incongruous homonymous quadrantanopia. Optical coherence tomography for peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness revealed a mild decrease in the inferior disc of both eyes. Brain magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of an acute infarction confined with upper medial calcarine fissures of bilateral occipital lobe and the right splenium of the corpus callosum, which were consistent with inferior altitudinal hemianopia and left superior incongruous quadrantanopia, respectively. Brain magnetic resonance angiography showed multiple stenosis of bilateral posterior cerebral arteries.
CONCLUSIONS: The altitudinal visual field defects could be caused by the occipital lesion medial to the calcarine fissure, and unusual visual defects could be due to a combination of multiple lesions.목적: 수평시야결손은 일반적으로 시신경교차 이전 병변에 의해서 발생하지만, 양하측 수평시야결손으로 나타난 양측 후두엽 뇌경색을 경험하여 이를 보고하고자 한다.
증례요약: 57세 남자가 1달 전부터 아래시야 흐림을 주소로 내원하였다. 당뇨와 고혈압으로 약 복용 중이었다. 교정시력은 우안 1.0, 좌안 0.63, 안압은 정상이었다. 동공반응, 안구운동, 색각검사 결과는 양안 모두 정상이었다. 안저검사에서 시신경과 황반부에 특이소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 시야검사에서 수평경선을 침범하지 않은 양하측 반맹과 불일치성의 좌측 상사분맹이 확인되었다. 빛간섭단층촬영에서는 양안 하측 시신경유두주변 망막신경섬유층의 두께가 약간 감소되어 있었다. 뇌자기공명영상에서 급성 뇌경색이 확인된 양측 후두엽 새발톱틈새(calcarine fissure) 상내측 병변으로 양하측 반맹을, 우측 측두엽 뇌량팽대 병변으로 불일치성의 좌측 상사분맹을 설명할 수 있었다. 뇌자기공영혈관조영술에서 양측 뒤대뇌동맥에 다발성 협착이 있었다.
결론: 후두엽 뇌병변도 새발톱틈새 내측에 국한되면 수평시야결손을 보일 수 있고, 다발성 병변일 경우 시야결손이 합쳐져 비전형적인 모습으로 나타날 수 있었다

Stakeholder research CoVE Water SA: CoVE Water SA the umbrella for all stakeholders
No full textThe water and sanitation sector faces well-documented issues that are challenging to address, leading to the establishment of the Platform of Vocational Excellence (PoVE) Water. This platform brings together five regional Centers of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) Water in Europe and South Africa to ensure high-quality skills and competencies in the water sector. These CoVEs facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, enabling the development of vocational education and training programs to increase awareness, responsiveness to industry needs, and address sector challenges. A few months ago, CoVE Water SA was established in South Africa to achieve the previously mentioned goals. Therefore, it is important that the following research question is answered in this initial set-up phase: What actions need to be taken to enhance the effectiveness of the CoVE Water SA? To answer this research question, several important stakeholders were interviewed. Subsequently, the interviews were analysed thematically in order to extract the most important themes and quotes, PI grids were created to assess power and interest dynamics among stakeholders, and a Social Network Analysis was conducted to understand the CoVE Water SA network and potential clusters.The research findings have unveiled key aspects for enhancing the effectiveness of CoVE Water SA. The current network in the water sector has a low density, implying that many collaborations are lacking. This leads to a high degree of interdependence within the network, resulting in a non dynamic system. The lack of collaborations, such as connections with TVET colleges, schools, farmers and local communities, results in a lack of knowledge, funding and connection to the labour market. Governmental stakeholders, like DWS, EWSeta, and BGCMA, have been identified as influential players with extensive networks and important resources, Local Authorities and Research Organizations also play important roles. Universities exhibit substantial international links, making them crucial contributors. These stakeholders have the potential to provide knowledge, collaboration, and power. These are valuable insights for CoVE Water SA, fostering network growth and effectiveness in the water sector. Furthermore, six key themes have been derived from the conducted interviews, addressing the needs of stakeholders and where CoVE can make a valuable contribution. These themes include raising awareness, reducing the skills gap in the water sector, fostering international collaborations, mitigating the labour shortage in the water sector, improving education material and establishing desired collaborations. For each theme, the interviewed stakeholders have presented their views and numerous suggestions on how CoVE Water SA can assist in addressing these issues. Additionally, stakeholders have also mentioned possible failures of CoVE Water SA, which can aid in preventing any shortcomings of the platform. Furthermore, stakeholders mentioned ongoing initiatives related to the six themes, through which they can contribute to the platform. From the Thematic Analysis, PI Grids and the SNA, a set of actions have emerged that are essential for enhancing the effectiveness of CoVE Water SA. These actions revolve around expanding and enhancing the network, organising activities and contributing to educational improvement. In terms of broadening and strengthening the network, the platform should focus on enhancing the collaborations among educational groups, building stronger relations with international institutions in Europe and Africa, involving TVETs and schools within the water network, improving stakeholder involvement and encouraging the involvement of Local Communities to increase awareness and knowledge about water issues. Furthermore, CoVE Water SA should play a role in organising activities to raise awareness of Water Resource Management. Additionally, it should assist in improving curricula, supporting students’ preparation for the workforce and making the education more practical instead of only theoretical. CoVE Water SA should also provide training and learning resources as well as comprehensive courses.However, this study recognizes several limitations that should be considered in future research and when implementing recommendations for CoVE Water SA. These limitations encompass factors like a limited scope due to resource and time constraints, minimal varied interviewee responses, and potential biases in responses. Addressing these limitations will be crucial in guiding future research and actions for CoVE Water SA.CEGM3000Civil Engineerin

Retour à la case départ : rébellion, marché et masculinité dans le phénomène Han Han
No full textDepuis qu’il a accédé à la notoriété en 1999, Han Han a suscité un grand intérêt du public et des chercheurs. Alors que la majorité des commentateurs se sont concentrés sur son statut ambigu d’entrepreneur-rebelle, cet article décrit la manière dont la masculinité est représentée et construite dans le phénomène Han Han. Il discute des apparitions de Han Han dans les campagnes publicitaires avant de se tourner vers le cinéma avec son premier film The Continent (2014). L’article examine la figure récurrente de l’aventurier voyageur et montre en quoi cette célébration d’une masculinité nomade est le résultat d’influences culturelles mondiales, de traditions locales de la masculinité et de nouvelles forces de marché. Fondées sur une approche conservatrice du genre et de la mobilité, l’expression et la construction de la masculinité chez Han Han portent atteinte à sa réputation de « génie décalé » et dessinent les limites de sa rébellion culturelle. Cet article montre plus particulièrement comment sa masculinité se construit au détriment des femmes et des hommes non hégémoniques
