The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
Justification of Induction: Russell and Jin Yuelin. A Comparative Study
No full textJin Yuelin (1895-1984), a Chinese logician and philosopher, is greatly influenced by Hume's and Russell's philosophies. How should we respond to Hume's problem of induction? This is an important clue to understand Jin's whole philosophical career. The first section of this paper gives a brief historical review of Russell and Jin. The second section outlines Hume's skeptical arguments against causality and induction. The third section expounds Russell's justification of induction by discussing his views on Hume's skepticism, causality, principle of induction, and empirical postulates. The fourth section clarifies Jin's justification of induction by discussing his critique of Hume's epistemology and his arguments for the reliability of causality and the eternal truth and apriority of the principle of induction. The final section compares Jin's justification of induction with Russell's and concludes that there are similarities and differences between their projects and that both their attempts fail. This paper takes the similar responses to the problem of induction by Jin and Russell to demonstrate the communication that there has been between Chinese philosophers and the Western ones.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000310146900004&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701EthicsHistory & Philosophy Of ScienceLogicPhilosophyA&HCISCI(E)0ARTICLE4353-3783
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Keteladanan jin dalam alquran (studi komparasi penafsiran surat al-jin antara al-tafsir al-munir dan fahm al-quran
No full textSebagai seorang muslim diwajibkan untuk percaya terhadap hal-hal gaib yaitu hal-hal di luar nalar. Hal itu merupakan sesuatu yang diimani oleh setiap muslim. Salah satu hal gaib yang wajib diimani keberadaannya adalah jin. ia adalah makhlus halus yang tidak kasat mata yang mempunyai kekuatan dan keistimewaan. Salah satu keistimewaannya adalah menjadi nama salah satu surat dalam Alquran. Sayangnya banyak sekali yang beranggapa negatif kepada jin. padahal ia sama halnya dengan manusia ada yang baik dan buruk, berakal, dibebani taklif, mengikuti berbagai aliran dan agama. Namun para mufassir berbeda pendapat mengenai jin. Sebagian mengamini bahwa makhluk ini merupakan mahkluk halus. Namun sebagian yang lain tidak. Mereka lebih memelihih memaknai jin dengan kuma, virus, atau bakteri. Fokus dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji penafsiran surat al-Jin dengan menggunakan dua perspektif. Pertama perspektif modernis yaitu Fahm al-Qur’an karya al-Jabiri dan kedua perspektif konservatif yaitu al-Tafsi>r al-Muni>r karya Wahbah Zuhaili. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang bersifat library research disajikan secara deskriptif-analitis. Metode muqa>rin sebagai pisau analisis. Hasilnya ditemukan beberapa perbedaan antara keduanya. Al-Jabiri lebih kritis dalam mengkaji ayat dan riwayat terkait ji. Ia mengatakan bagaimana seorang yang hidup di abad 21 ini dituntut lebih kreatif dalam memahami jin dan riwayat yang terkait dengannya yang sudah tidak relevan dengan pola pikir modern yang lebih mengutamakan rasio. Sedangkan Wahba Zuhaili lebih pasif dalam memberikan penjelasan seputar jin. ia menafsirkan surat al-Jin sebagaimana mufassir-mufassir klasik. Namun keduanya sama-sama tidak memberikan makna baru terhadap jin
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
