    "Text Author Scholarship Metadata.tab" includes all the metadata on primary text titles, publication years, authorial gender, authorial race and ethnicity, and scholarship year that we collected and used to derive the results on contemporaneity, gender balance, and ethnic inequalities. Some of the metadata we used was proprietary to the MLA Bibliography so we cannot share more information on each piece of scholarship that cites an Asian American primary text. We have included accession numbers that will take you to the relevant record in the MLA bibliography (and DOIs for scholarship from Amerasia journal, which is not indexed in the MLA bibliography). "Chinese and Filipinx ethnic specific and panethnic citations.tab" includes all the metadata we used to calculate the results presented in figures 6 and 7. The citation counts under the panethnic label were derived from the metadata in "Text Author Scholarship Metadata.tab". The citation counts under the ethnic specific labels were collected from the MLA bibliography through searches for "Chinese American" "Filipino American/Filipino/Filipina" in the titles and abstracts of scholarly works. The topic modeling results in the article were based on a corpus accessed through the HathiTrust Research Center, with about 100 additional texts we digitized ourselves since they are not available in Hathi. "Topic modeling corpus composition.tab" shows the texts in that corpus and their HathiTrust IDs if the text was from Hathi. (Note that the corpus includes some cited pieces that are part of larger collections—a short story in a story collection, for instance. The Hathi IDs listed for such works are IDs for the whole collection. We cut down such texts to just the piece cited before topic modeling them. There are also instances where both a piece from a collection and the whole collection were cited. In those instances, we included both the whole collection and the piece in our corpus.) "Topics, top words, ethnic coding.tab" shows the topics generated from this corpus when we ran MALLET, the top 50 words in each topic, and how we coded each topic for ethnic affiliation. "Topic percentages in chunked texts.tab" shows the proportional makeup measure MALLET attributed to each topic for each 1000-word text chunk in the corpus. We averaged the proportional makeup percentages for ethnically affiliated topics across all the chunks of a text and then weighted these results by the number of times the text has been cited in Asian Americanist scholarship. Those results are presented in "Percentages of ethnically coded topics in whole texts weighted by citations.tab"

    Entre spiritualité monastique et canoniale : le thème de la formation dans les lettres d’Adam de Perseigne

    Full text link
    The thought of Adam, second abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Perseigne between 1188 and 1221, is attested to us by his sermons and by a letter-collection. In the latter, which will be analyzed here, the theme of learning emerges as a crucial one. His ideas have been labelled as “characteristically Cistercian”; however, this study aims to highlight that, next to aspects which are typical of the monastic (and especially Cistercian) tradition, there are also atypical elements, which are usually associated with the spirituality of regular canons. Most importantly, Adam pays a remarkable attention to the way in which individual behavior affects one’s neighbor, whom everyone, including monks, has the responsibility to edify through teaching by word and example. This peculiarity, which sets Adam apart from the other monastic authors of his time, is probably the result of his complicated religious career, and in particular of his experience as a regular canon.La pensée d’Adam, deuxième abbé du monastère cistercien de Perseigne entre 1188 et 1221, nous est attestée, au-delà des sermons, par un recueil de lettres où le thème de la formation se révèle central. Son enseignement a été défini « très caractéristiquement cistercien », mais la présente étude se propose de mettre en lumière la présence, à côté d’éléments caractéristiques de la tradition cistercienne et monastique, d’éléments atypiques, qui semblent relever plutôt de la spiritualité canoniale. En particulier, l’abbé prête attention à la manière dont le comportement de l’individu affecte son prochain, auquel, selon lui, tous, y compris les moines, ont le devoir d’enseigner à travers la parole et l’exemple. Cette particularité, qui distingue Adam des autres auteurs monastiques de l’époque, est probablement le fruit de sa carrière religieuse mouvementée, et en particulier de son expérience comme chanoine régulier

    Existence, blow-up and exponential decay of solutions for a porous-elastic system with damping and source terms

    No full text
    In this paper we consider a porous-elastic system consisting of nonlinear boundary/interior damping and nonlinear boundary/interior sources. Our interest lies in the theoretical understanding of the existence, finite time blow-up of solutions and their exponential decay using non-trivial adaptations of well-known techniques. First, we apply the conventional Faedo-Galerkin method with standard arguments of density on the regularity of initial conditions to establish two local existence theorems of weak solutions. Moreover, we detail the uniqueness result in some specific cases. In the second theme, we prove that any weak solution possessing negative initial energy has the latent blow-up in finite time. Finally, we obtain the so-called exponential decay estimates for the global solution under the construction of a suitable Lyapunov functional. In order to corroborate our theoretical decay, a numerical example is provided.This research is funded by Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) under Grant no. B2017-18-04.

    Forecast horizon of 5th – 6th – 7th long wave and short-period of contraction in economic cycles

    Full text link
    The purpose of this essay is to determine the forecast horizon of the fifth, sixth and seventh long wave. As the period of each long wave can change according to the data, it has been used a deterministic approach, based on historical chronologies of USA and UK economies worked out by several scholars, to determine average timing, period and forecast error of future long waves. In addition, the analysis shows that long waves have average upwave period longer than average downwave one. This result is also confirmed by US Business Cycles that have average contractions shorter than expansions phase over time.Forecast Horizon, Long Waves, Kondratieff Waves, Business Cycles, Asymmetric Path

    Privacy challenges of automated vehicles: Merging contextual integrity and responsible innovation frameworks

    Full text link
    Privacy has become a central issue in automated vehicles (AVs). Questions around who owns data, who manages data, and how to access data are some of the key concerns around AVs, mobility data justice. This study broadens the understanding of privacy challenges for AVs by introducing a multilevel contextual integrity (MCI) model. MCI considers contextual integrity (CI) in tandem with societal preferences and individual level preferences, which is captured using demographic data. Therefore, it captures the individual-level, group-level, and societal-level factors that drive peoples’ preferences regarding AV privacy. Empirical insights into the relationships among the social forces captured at these three levels are drawn from survey data collected in South Korea. The findings reveal that although social goals and demographic variables initially show some association, the introduction of CI parameters significantly diminishes this relationship, highlighting the primacy of informational contexts in shaping AV privacy attitudes. This paper nuances current understandings of AV privacy by linking informational norms with overarching societal values and goals. By advancing the CI framework to include social goals, this study contributes to the broader discourse on responsible innovation, offering a robust approach to managing privacy challenges in emerging technologies.

    The Impact Of The Development Of ICT In Several Hungarian Economic Sectors

    Full text link
    As the author could not find a reassuring mathematical and statistical method in the literature for studying the effect of information communication technology on enterprises, the author suggested a new research and analysis method that he also used to study the Hungarian economic sectors. The question of what factors have an effect on their net income is vital for enterprises. At first, the author studied some potential indicators related to economic sectors, then those indicators were compared to the net income of the surveyed enterprises. The resulting data showed that the growing penetration of electronic marketplaces contributed to the change of the net income of enterprises to the greatest extent. Furthermore, among all the potential indicators, it was the only indicator directly influencing the net income of enterprises. With the help of the compound indicator and the financial data of the studied economic sectors, the author made an attempt to find a connection between the development level of ICT and profitability. Profitability and productivity are influenced by a lot of other factors as well. As the effect of the other factors could not be measured, the results – shown in a coordinate system - are not full but informative. The highest increment of specific Gross Value Added was produced by the fields of ‘Manufacturing’, ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, ‘Transport, storage and communication’ and ‘Financial intermediation’. With the exception of ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, the other economic sectors belong to the group of underdeveloped branches (below 50 percent). On the other hand, ‘Construction’, ‘Health and social work’ and ‘Hotels and restaurants’ can be seen as laggards, so they got into the lower left part of the coordinate system. ‘Agriculture, hunting and forestry’ can also be classified as a laggard economic sector, but as the effect of the compound indicator on the increment of Gross Value Added was less significant, it can be found in the upper left part of the coordinate system. Drawing a trend line on the points, it can be made clear that it shows a positive gradient, that is, the higher the usage of ICT devices, the higher improvement can be detected in the specific Gross Value Added
