Letter from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman, 1942
No full textLetter from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman. Yusa writes that he and his wife Mimi and their family will "get our walking papers for Gila this week." Yusa writes of concern about dysentery: "I understand that the army has shoved in to many people at a time to Gila that plumbing and other facilities are not up to meet the heavy demand. Reports thru private letters show that things are not favorable down there in terms of adequate physical conditions and morale." He mentions lack of progress regarding student relocations, and requests discretion regarding his UC affiliations: "Imagine, people like Prof. Churnen, Dr. Lowie, both W. I. Thomas and Dr. Thomas, people of very high caliber being ruled out by the punks that's running us." He writes about "a condition of doubt about what to believe in" among many young people in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Letter from Earle and Mimi Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman
No full textLetter from Earle and Mimi Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman. Letter mentions contentious objector status for a draft, and Mimi's pregnancy. Letter reflects on incarcerees contact with American Indians: "The contacts with Indian people around here have awakened many of us to the extent of the dangers of these concentration camps. The problem that exist with the Indians is one that needs greater attention that [than] that of ours. Are we trying to solve one problem while another with deeper roots remains neglected? I wonder where our consistency is?" Letter also mentions "our SCA group and student relocation hasn't gone anywhere," and writes of "apathy, complacency, ward-of-the government attitude, and fear of the outside" in the camp. And, "as far as my resettling is concerned, I'm really in a dilemma as what I should do."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Postcard from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. Goodman, May 24, 1941
No full textPostcard from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. Goodman: Howdy Joe; I thought I'd have to hike up to Frisco to get away from this blasted heat down here but it cooled off sufficiently for me to live normally. I'll be back up there around June 11 as they are coming back for some urgent business so you'll see me sooner than you expected or I expected. Lately I've been doing office work, namely typing and sign making for a county Fair and Horse Show that the Assistance League here is sponsoring - Mrs. Irvine is the general manager. I'm missing the Y and the church groups that are so characteristic with the bunch that I run around with - certainly very little of it down here. Action is of only one kind here - defense industries - plain factories galore - what are we getting into? I'm expecting to hear from you. Incidentally, I hope you're OK.

Reasoning of Liberal Islam: a Study on Islamic Perspectives in Liberal Islam Network Jakarta
No full textThe renewal of Islamic thinking continuously develops from time to time in Indonesia. This research tries to answer two main problems, they are: how are the reasoning or ideology developed by Liberal Islam Network (LIN)?; and how are LIN's main ideas and their metamorphoses? The research applies qualitative method with hermeneutic approach. The data is collected by library research or text documentation. The data is collected on August 18th to August 29th 2015. The research finds that the ideas of Liberal Islam Network show significant liberal signs. From the ontology of text, in reading religious text, LIN's assumptions are “the critics over the truth”. LIN applies humanistic approach in reading the religious texts. This is confirmed by LIN's defense toward human's dignity. From the aspect of theoretically analytical tools in reading religious texts, LIN applies social sciences, which are socio-historical analyses. LIN uses symbol or semiotics analyses to read the religious text. The main notions of LIN are: First, Islam changes, it is not static; second, context is the first and history is the latter. Here, in reading a religious text, LIN wants to place context (socio-history) proportionally; third, LIN intends to hold God in our ground and history. The metamorphoses of LIN's ideas are: firstly is to oppose theocracy; secondly is to endorse democracy; thirdly is to endorse gender equality; fourthly is to contextualize religious doctrines; and fifthly is to support pluralism and freedom of thinking

A comparison of methods for combining surveys
No full textAs more and more researchers start to study more complicated survey problems, a single
survey might not be sufficient to meet the analytical needs. Therefore, combining multiple
waves of repeated surveys to get larger and more diverse samples is useful in some
situations. This thesis focus on comparing different methods of combining multiple
waves of repeated surveys. A large simulation study where we investigate the properties
of different methods for combining surveys is presented in this thesis. In the
simulation, we create a series of populations that contain geographic information so
the stratified two-stage cluster sampling method can be applied when selecting
samples. Then, two methods (weight-adjust method and calibration weighting
methods) of combining surveys are applied. The analytical results of simulated data
show that the weight-adjust method can reduce the estimation bias (i.e.
underestimating or overestimating) if overlapped observations can be identified and
need to be removed in order to meet study needs when combining surveys. However, if
the variables we are interested in change over time, the estimates produced by the weightadjust
method may contain minor biases. Therefore, using the calibration method when
auxiliary variables are available is recommended since it will help reduce the standard
error and produce more accurate estimates. Especially when using re-calculated weights
to estimate the variables that change over time, using the calibration method can reduce
the bias
Review of: Asura\u27s Harp: Engagement with Language as Buddhist Path
No full textAsura\u27s Harp: Engagement with Language as Buddhist Path by Dennis Hirota is a book that grew out of lectures given by the author at the Fürst Franz-Josef and Fürstin Gina Memorial Philosophy Lecture series in Liechtenstein (p. 153). Herein the author examines the significant role that language plays in the religious practice of the True Pure Land Sect of Japanese Buddhism (hereafter referred to as Shin Buddhism), founded by Shinran (1173-1263). Hirota\u27s original audience being those present at his lectures, this book directly engages Western intellectuals, Christian and non-Christian
Prototype voor participatieve monitoring van stedelijke plannen
No full textDe ‘Participatory Urban Plan Monitoring’ (PUPM)aanpak draagt bij aan het monitoren van ruimtelijkeontwikkelingen in context van de stedelijke plannen.PUPM is gebaseerd op een open informatieinfrastructuur voor delen van verschillende soortenland administratie gegevens: eigendomsregistratie,waardebepaling, ruimtelijke ordening en ruimtelijkeontwikkeling. Voor twee Indonesische steden, Jakartaen Bandung, is een PUPM prototype ontwikkeld enzijn er vervolgens bruikbaarheidstesten uitgevoerd.Hiermee wordt een bijdrage geleverd aan de realisatievan ‘Smart Cities/Digital Triplets’. De PUPM aanpakis generiek en kan ook elders in de wereld wordeningezet. En daarmee kan het ook voor Nederland eeninteressante optie zijn bij het inzetten van data voorhet realiseren van ruimtelijke plannen.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.GIS TechnologieUrban Data Scienc
