    Texte par : Sagara Jayasinghe (Faculty of Architecture, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka) Abstract The last region in Sri Lanka to come under the influence of the Portuguese was the Northern Kingdom of Jaffna i.e. the Island of Mannar in 1560 and subsequently, the Peninsula of Jaffna in 1619. It is reported that during this period missionaries of the Portuguese Padroado built a great number of churches in the region. Following the expulsion of the Portuguese by the Dutch in the middle of the..

    Origins of hydrocarbons in the Sagara oil field, central Japan

    We collected free-gas and in situ fluid samples up to a depth of 200.6 m from the Sagara oil field, central Japan (34°44′N, 138°15′E), during the Sagara Drilling Program (SDP) and measured the concentrations and stable carbon isotopic compositions of CH4 and C2H6 in the samples. A combination of the CH4/C2H6 ratios with the carbon isotope ratios of methane indicates that the hydrocarbon gases are predominantly of thermogenic origin at all depths. The isotope signature of hydrocarbon gases of δ13CCH4 < δ13CC2H6 suggests that these gases in the Sagara oil field are not generated by polymerization, but by the decomposition of organic materials

    In the 2500-year span of Sri Lankan history the colonial era dates from 1505 - with the successive arrival of the Portuguese, Dutch and the British - till Independence in 1948. This era left an indelible mark on many aspects of Sri Lankan identity including the architectural landscape. Sagara Jayasinghe, outside of his architectural practice, undertakes an ongoing labour of love, in recording through his drawings the art and architectural heritage of churches in Sri Lanka. His work unravels a significant chapter of Sri Lankan history spanning 500 years

    Reviving the design concepts and material culture of paraphernalia and receptacles used for the traditional toddy tapping in Kalutara, Sri Lanka

    268-274The artificial extraction of sweet sap, or toddy, from the incised young inflorescences of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) has long been a captivating cottage industry in the coastal region of Kalutara, Sri Lanka. Freshly tapped toddy contains little to no alcohol and is considered a nutritious beverage, though it rapidly ferments into an alcoholic drink. Historical references to toddy and its distillation into arrack date back to the fifth century, yet it is widely believed that the current techniques of toddy tapping were introduced to the Kalutara region by the toddy tappers from the tropical coasts of South India during British colonial rule. Drawing on the author's hands-on experience and interviews with the local community who have been involved in toddy-tapping for generations, this paper reviews the design principles and material culture used in the paraphernalia and receptacles used for Kalutara's traditional toddy-tapping industry. These paraphernalia and receptacles, which have been used for decades, demonstrate the community's capacity to craft their implements from sustainable, locally sourced materials. As this study reveals, these traditional techniques and tools continue to provide practical solutions while preserving the rich history and cultural identity of the toddy-tapping communities in the coastal region of Kalutara. The preservation of this traditional knowledge is essential for safeguarding both the cultural heritage and the economic future of the toddy-tapping industry in Sri Lanka

    Goan oratorian missionary churches in Ceylon : origins, evolution, and synthesis

    No full text
    The crucial role of Goan Oratorian missionaries in maintaining and expanding Catholicism in Sri Lanka (previously Ceylon) is well known. The founder of the Goan Oratorian mission in Ceylon, Fr Joseph Vaz, was recently canonised for his fundamental role in revitalising the Catholic faith on the island. He arrived on the island in 1687, disguised as a beggar, with the aim of assisting the remaining believers in proclaiming their Catholic faith. The Catholics had been abandoned after Dutch rule (1658–1796) that led to the expulsion of missionaries from the Portuguese period (1505–1658) and the persecution of native Catholics. Fr Joseph Vaz was followed by other Goan missionaries affiliated with the Oratorian congregation founded by St Philip Neri, acting under the Portuguese Padroado Real. Their persistence allowed for the maintenance and subsequent growth of the Catholic faith on the island, which is still evident today. Until recently, the tangible remains of this Goan Oratorian mission were largely unknown, if not ignored or misunderstood. This oversight is not unrelated to the arrival of European missionaries linked to the Roman Curia of Propaganda Fide, whose missionary actions contributed to the diminishment of the Goan Oratorians' role to near obscurity. However, thorough research has uncovered that the Goan Oratorian missionaries indeed left a vast architectural (and, to some extent, also artistic) legacy. This research was aimed at conducting a detailed architectural survey of the Oratorian-founded churches that still exist in Sri Lanka and analysing their origins, typological characteristics, architectural evolution, and specific attributes. These churches reflect the history of Catholic missionary activity on the island from the post-Portuguese period to the early twentieth century under British rule (1795–1948). The revelation of a coherent architectural typology – the only one in the world related to the Goan Oratorians, which even influenced churches built later by succeeding missionaries from other European congregations – is a unique legacy of the utmost cultural and religious significance.O papel crucial dos padres oratorianos goeses na manutenção e expansão do catolicismo no Sri Lanka (antigo Ceilão) é por demais conhecido. O fundador da missão oratoriana no Ceilão, o padre José Vaz, aliás, foi recentemente canonizado pelo seu papel fundamental no renascimento da fé católica na ilha: em 1687 entrou disfarçado de mendigo na ilha, com intuito de prover na fé católica os crentes ainda remanescentes que haviam ficado desamparados após a conquista e domínio holandês (1658-1796) – os missionários que actuaram durante o domínio português (1505-1658) foram expulsos, e os católicos nativos foram perseguidos. Ao padre José Vaz seguiram-se outros padres goeses filiados sob a congregação fundada por São Filipe Néri e actuando sob o Padroado Real português; a sua persistência permitiu a manutenção e posterior crescimento das comunidades católicas na ilha, cujo testemunho ainda hoje é visível. Porém, até muito recentemente as reminiscências tangíveis destes padres oratorianos goeses eram quase desconhecidas, senão mesmo ignoradas ou equivocadas. A tal não é alheia a chegada de missionários europeus ligados à Cúria Romana da Propaganda Fide, cuja acção missiológica contribuiu para desvanecer o papel dos oratorianos goeses até quase ao esquecimento do ponto de vista tangível. Porém, após um profundo estudo, verificou-se que existe afinal um vasto legado arquitectónico (e, de algum modo, também artístico) que nos foi deixado pelos padres oratorianos goeses. Esta investigação procurou por isso realizar um aturado levantamento dos edifícios de fundação oratoriana ainda existentes no Sri Lanka, analisando as suas origens, características tipológicas, evolução arquitectónica e atributos específicos que acompanharam a própria história missionária católica na ilha no período pós-português e até aos inícios do século XX, já sob o domínio colonial britânico (1795-1948). A revelação de uma tipologia arquitectónica muito coerente – a única no mundo relacionada com os oratorianos – que inclusivamente influenciou igrejas construídas posteriormente por missionários de outras congregações europeias, é de facto um legado único e da maior importância a nível cultural e religioso

    Ecclesiastical Adaptation and Reformation: The Evolution of Dutch Reformed Urban Church Architecture in Sri Lanka (1658&ndash;1796)

    No full text
    Sri Lanka, then known as Ceylon, was ruled by three Euro-Christian colonisers for over 450 years. Alongside their pursuit of trade and wealth, these colonial powers&mdash;the Portuguese (1505&ndash;1658), Dutch (1658&ndash;1796), and British (1796&ndash;1948)&mdash;sought to establish their distinct forms of Christianity: Catholicism by the Portuguese, Reformation by the Dutch, and Anglicanism and other Protestant denominations by the British. The missionary strategies and religious policies of these European colonisers varied significantly. Unlike Catholicism, which closely aligned with the external rituals of local religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, the Dutch Reformed religion emphasised Christian doctrine and biblical scripture, distinguishing itself in its liturgy, art, and architecture. This paper examines the origins and development of Dutch Reformed urban church architecture in Sri Lanka through archival, cartographical, and morphological research, complemented by an architectural survey of the surviving Dutch Reformed churches. The study reveals that the Dutch initially repurposed several Portuguese churches for Reformed worship, and later, they introduced the &ldquo;Meeting House&rdquo; typology, aligning with Reformed ecclesiastical and liturgical principles. Over time, this evolved into larger &ldquo;Greek Cross Plan&rdquo; churches, a trend that continued until the rise of Anglicanism

    The only book currently available to learn Sinhala grammar is Sidath Sagara. This was written in the thirteenth century. Sidath Sagara talks about gender, only two genders as masculine and feminine nouns. Although Sidath Sagara says that there are two genders, according to the Sinhala practice, three genders are implemented. The third gender is the neuter gender. Sinhala gender has been introduced after paying attention to the gender difference in Pali and Sanskrit languages. Understand gender discrimination in Sidath Sagara without knowledge of Pali and Sanskrit languages. This is a problematic situation. Because of this, scholars refuse to explain the gender of the Sidath Sagara. Some people justify sidath Sagara's gender bias. This research was carried out in order to properly investigate Sidath Sagarava's gender examination and arrive at conclusions. why neuter gender is not valid in Sinhala in Sidath Sagarava's gender examination? is kept as the research problem. The main objective of the research was to study gender discrimination in Sidath Sagara. Studying the various ideologies that have been presented regarding gender discrimination, Sidath Sagara's research on gender and reaching balanced conclusions began. Sidath Sagara was kept as the primary source. Various editions of Sidath Sagara, Sinhala grammar books and Journals written in this regard, newspaper articles etc. were the secondary sources by studying the gender difference in Sidath Sagara and grammar tradition of Sinhala, it was kept as the basis of the research that the existing problems regarding gender discrimination in Sidath Sagara will be resolved. the research sample was only for the work of Sidath Sagara and Sinhala grammar tradition. From the data analysis of the research 1. Gender distiction as discrimination in Sidath Sagara is a gender discrimination used for poetry 2. the author of Sidath Sagara explains focusing on the gender distinction in Pali and Sanskrit languages and not focusing on the Sinhala language. 3. it is uncinded the three conclusions that Sidath Sagara's gender distinction is a traditional Sinhala grammatical tradition

    Scapinin, the Protein Phosphatase 1 Binding Protein, Enhances Cell Spreading and Motility by Interacting with the Actin Cytoskeleton

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.Scapinin, also named phactr3, is an actin and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) binding protein, which is expressed in the adult brain and some tumor cells. At present, the role(s) of scapinin in the brain and tumors are poorly understood. We show that the RPEL-repeat domain of scapinin, which is responsible for its direct interaction with actin, inhibits actin polymerization in vitro. Next, we established a Hela cell line, where scapinin expression was induced by tetracycline. In these cells, expression of scapinin stimulated cell spreading and motility. Scapinin was colocalized with actin at the edge of spreading cells. To explore the roles of the RPEL-repeat and PP1-binding domains, we expressed wild-type and mutant scapinins as fusion proteins with green fluorescence protein (GFP) in Cos7 cells. Expression of GFP-scapinin (wild type) also stimulated cell spreading, but mutation in the RPEL-repeat domain abolished both the actin binding and the cell spreading activity. PP1-binding deficient mutants strongly induced cell retraction. Long and branched cytoplasmic processes were developed during the cell retraction. These results suggest that scapinin enhances cell spreading and motility through direct interaction with actin and that PP1 plays a regulatory role in scapinin-induced morphological changes.Articleapplication/pdfPLOS ONE. 4(1):e4247 (2009)journal articl

    A Comparative Study of Educational Administrative Organizations in Southeast Asian Countries

    この論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。The purpose of this article is to make a comparative analysis of educational administrative organizations in eight Southeast Asian countries. At present, the developing countries in Southeast Asia are making a maximum effort to establish and develop education, and this fact naturally invites strong national concern for educational affairs. Each country has already established a refined structure of educational administration, planning to put forward strong programs of education. An unbalance is observed, however, between the well organized administrative structure and development of education itself. The heavily centralized educational administration bring a still stronger centralizing tendency, thus strengthening already consolidated structures of educational administration. As the result, these countries have come to have a complete set of carefully organized administrative systems which sometimes surpasses those of advanced countries. The largest problems the people who are concerned about education in these countries must face is to put the strongest stress on the development of education itself, departing from mere concern about the establishment of administrative systems. It is the belief of the author that such a comparison as that attempted here will be fruitful for the study of comparative education as well as the comparative study of administration

    Community-based incubation programs for women entreprepenurs in developing countries: A systematic literature review

    Although Women entrepreneurs (WE) own a small fraction of businesses in developing countries due to multiple challenges, previous studies identified factors that contribute to low success rates. However, contradictory results regarding these factors indicate the knowledge gap. The goal of the current study is to generate specific programs that are cost-effective and sustainable in resource-poor, developing countries. To this end, a systematic literature review –a cornerstone of evidence-based management –was used to identify the factors that influence the success or failure of WEs in developing countries. A search string containing synonyms for women entrepreneurs, success, failure, factor, and challenge was used to collect 5,727 journal articles from three database aggregators, OneSearch, ABI/INFORM, and SCOPUS. After further screening and quality appraisal, the dataset, which contained 123 articles published between 2015 and 2020, was analyzed with the conceptual lens of the resource-based view of business and incorporated into a theoretical framework based on the business incubation theory. The coding process identified four core capitals–family/social network, human,psychological, and financial–as critical determinants for WE performance. While human and psychological capitals were frequently mentioned as necessary, family/social network capital was the most critical factor because WEs without human or financial capital could still succeed in business if they hadtheir family support and social/professional networks. Thus, programs aimed to support WEs should target their families and establish social and professional networks for WEs. Additionally, a program to educate WEs for entrepreneurial bricolage (resourcefulness) and resilience would boost WE performance because these traits allow WEs to overcome socio-cultural restrictions, financial constraints, and other challenges and succeed in business.COMMUNITY INCUBATION PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS i ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: COMMUNITY-BASED INCUBATION PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ENTREPREPENEURS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW Yutaka Sagara, Doctor of Business Administration, 2021 Although Women entrepreneurs (WE) own a small fraction of businesses in developing countries due to multiple challenges, previous studies identified factors that contribute to low success rates.

In particular, I saw women, including my sister-in-law, in the Mon village Khahonkaret (Min Yaw) in Burma starting and failing in business. Despite these failures, the women entrepreneurs are resilient: they continue to create, and some eventually succeed in business. Having worked as a volunteer for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) in Burma and Thailand, I asked: what can we do to help women succeed in business? This study is the answer to the question. The world has experienced multiple, unprecedented challenges in the past few years. Despite these health, societal, and political turmoils in many countries, I believe in the resilience of women and women entrepreneurs to continue to try and eventually succeed in business and in life. COMMUNITY INCUBATION PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS vi Dedication This work is dedicated to my mother, Masako Okumura, who is on the deathbed from cancer as I complete this dissertation on June 18, 2021. She has been the inspiration to everything I have accomplished so far and yet to achieve in the future. Her strong will, her resilience, and her desire to do her best. These have motivated me throughout my life. Also, she raised me to be compassionate to others and to be morally upright. Failed though I have on both accounts many times over, I still try to follow her dicta every day. I owe everything in my life to her. This work is also dedicated to my sister, Yukari Sagara Blanche, who died at the young age of 35 in 1984. To this day, I feel she sacrificed her life for my studies. Without her, I would not have completed university and beyond. I owe my academic career to her. Finally, I dedicate this work to my wife, Ohmar Khine. She has consistently supported and encouraged me to obtain this doctorate. In addition to moral support, she has helped me understand women’s lives and how they struggle to earn a living in Burma and other developing countries. Her words painted vivid pictures even in my dull mind and helped me be compassionate to their plight. I owe this clumsy but completed work to her. COMMUNITY INCUBATION PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS vii Acknowledgements This journey has been filled with major challenges; the coronavirus pandemic that started at the end of 2019, the military junta in Burma (Myanmar) on February 1, 2021, and my mother’s cancer diagnosis on April 14, 2021, and my subsequent caregiving for her in Japan. Because all of these events have made it difficult to continue with the doctorate program, I have thought of quitting the program many times. But extraordinary people listed here have helped me overcome despondency and complete the doctorate. I wish to acknowledge their tremendous guidance and support for this endeavor. First and foremost, I want to thank Dr. Wanda Wagner, my dissertation mentor. Without her guidance and expertise, I would have surely failed and dropped out long ago. During the weekly Zoom meeting, Dr. Wagner took time to understand my progress and difficulties, giving me sagely advice, encouragement, and moral support. The concern and care she has shown for me and my work have been genuinely monumental and awe-inspiring. Also, her seemingly bottomless patience has been tested many times by my tardiness and unfortunate events in my life. Needless to say, this work would not have existed without Dr. Wagner. Also, I want to thank Dr. Kay Edwards, my second reader. Her comments on this dissertation, as well as on my presentations, have been invaluable. Dr. Edwards has acted like my co-mentor, making sure I would stay focused. I want to thank Dr. Subash Bijlani, my third committee member, for agreeing to be on the committee at the last minute. Dr. Bijlani’s background in entrepreneurship and his knowledge of business in developing countries have enriched this project. COMMUNITY INCUBATION PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS viii Finally, I wish to acknowledge all the professors who helped me along with this excellent Doctorate program in Business Administration: Drs. Leslie Dinauer (DMG600), Mark De Jong (DBA800), Lisa Pearo (DBA810), Mary Jo Anderson (DBA820), Denise Breckon (DBA840), and Walter McCollum (DBA850). Of course, I cannot forget Ms. Marina Caminis, the Wonder Woman of the program.
