The spread of luxury culture amongst Kuwaiti women. Analysis of luxury brand development in Kuwait from the oil discovery until present
No full textThis research investigates the distinct characteristics of Kuwaiti heritage in the context of textile and fashion accessories. Moreover, it addresses how these characteristics can be used in the creation of new contemporary designs that reflect Kuwaiti women’s cultural identity at the current time and are perceived as luxury fashion. Luxury has always been associated with privileged and high-class people who use it as a tool to distinguish themselves from the public in any society. This has been practiced as far back as ancient civilisations such as the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In Kuwait, before the discovery and production of oil, Kuwaiti society was predominantly living in modesty and poverty, luxury being exclusive to merchants and the ruling family since they could afford it and, importantly, had access to it. Nowadays, a phenomenon exists, mostly among women in Kuwaiti society, in which women’s identity and social status are determined by the visible brands and luxury fashion logos they choose to wear. This research concentrates on the spread of luxury culture in Kuwait from the period just before the discovery of oil until the current time. Furthermore, the research investigates the relationship between the formation of cultural identity and luxury fashion brands within the context of Kuwait. The purpose of this study is to investigate the main factors and events that have a significant impact on Kuwaiti women’s tendency towards the acquisition of Western luxury fashion brands. In addition, it aims to identify the factors that have remarkably contributed to changing the perception of luxury in Kuwaiti society, in order to understand the relationship between luxury and the formation of cultural identity. The researcher uses interviews as the main method for data collection and deploys observation, analysis of visual evidences and participation as supporting methods. Moreover, the chosen strategy is mainly employed in the form of a case study and action research. This study found that there is usually a model for the spread of luxury culture in any society. Kuwait passed through a number of phases in that model within almost 75 years. Currently, Kuwaiti women are recognizing the concept of luxury fashion through their access to Western luxury brands. They wear luxury fashion brands as a means of defining their social position in society, demonstrating that they are economically capable of purchasing expensive fashion labels. However, they are defining their cultural identity through other aspects than fashion. Moreover, both cultural identity and perception of luxury are constantly changing and are influenced and shaped by the surrounding dynamic environment

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
