    チベット語が分布する地域の南東端を占める中国雲南省迪慶藏族自治州のさ らに南に位置する麗江市において,いくつかチベット族の村落が点在する。永 勝県大安納西族彝族郷はその1 つであり,今なお同地のチベット族はチベット 語を話していることが筆者の調査によって判明した。しかしながら長期にわた るナシ語や漢語の影響を受け,現在では漢語への移行が進み,すでにその話者 数は激減している。 本稿の目的は大安郷のチベット語Daan 方言のカムチベット語における方言所 属を明らかにすることである。この議論は主に方言間の比較によって成立する。 地理的環境や民間伝承を考慮して,比較対象として最も近くに分布する迪慶州 の諸方言を射程に収める。具体的に比較する言語現象は2 点あり,1 つはチベッ ト文語形式と口語形式との対応関係の分析で,もう1 つは語形式の分析である。 これらの作業を通して,Daan 方言の方言所属を考察する。 本稿の具体的な構成は,まずDaan 方言のチベット文語形式と口語形式との対 応関係を明らかにし,それによって得られた特徴と迪慶州のチベット語方言の 特徴を比較する。そしてDaan 方言に見られる特徴的な語形式を迪慶州のチベッ ト語方言の例と比較し,考察を加える。考察の結果,Daan 方言はSems-kyi-nyila 方言群全般の特徴と近似し,特に破擦音/摩擦音の発展過程において同方言群の Melung 下位方言群の特徴と一致することが判明した。There are several villages populated by Tibetans in Lijiang Municipal Region, the southeastern neighbourhood of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, where the Tibetan language is mainly spoken. The author has found that the Tibetan inhabitants still use Tibetan in Daan village, Yongsheng County in Lijiang, but this dialect is close to extinction because of the strong influence of Naxi and Chinese. This paper aims to clarify the dialectal position of the Daan dialect of Khams Tibetan using a comparative method involving both comparison of using a sound correspondences between spoken forms and Written Tibetan (WrT) in multiple Tibetan dialects, and also word forms. In consideration of the geographical situation and the folklore of the Daan Tibetans, the scope of the dialectal comparison covers the dialects spoken in Diqing Prefecture, which can be divided into three main groups: Sems-kyi-nyila, nJol and gTorwa. Of those, the dialects of the Sems-kyi-nyila and nJol groups are compared with the Daan dialect. The main matter consists of three parts: sound correspondences between WrT and the Daan dialect, comparison of the latter with multiple dialects of Diqing, and comparison of several characteristic word forms. The paper concludes that the Daan dialect is genetically close to the Sems-kyi-nyila dialect group, especially to its Melung subgroup, based on the sound development of the affricate / fricative series.Articledepartmental bulletin pape

    Doplor Sleep: Monitoring Hospital Soundscapes for Better Sleep Hygiene

    No full text
    Good sleep is conducive to the recovery process of hospital patients - and yet, in many wards, sleep duration and quality can often be suboptimal, in part due to modifiable hospital-related sounds and noises. At the neurological ward of the Reinier de Graaf hospital in Delft, the Netherlands, we developed and evaluated a prototype information exchange system to raise awareness of specific sounds as disturbing patients' sleep. The system both classifies different relevant sound events and tracks sleep quality (using a Fitbit device). This information is then visualized for patients and staff to present the influence of the soundscape on patients' sleep hygiene in a friendly and comprehensive way. We discuss the design process, including a context study and various evaluations of the technology, interface, and created affordances. Our initial findings indicate that visualizing hospital soundscapes may, indeed, support both patients and staff in their efforts towards better sleep hygiene. Design AestheticsInternet of Thing

    The Determinants of Internal Migration in a Developing Country: Quantitative Evidence for Indonesia, 1930-200

    This study specifies and estimates a gravity model for inter-provincial migration in Indonesia. Using panel data for Indonesia’s 26 provinces for 5 survey years between 1930 and 2000 we show that throughout the twentieth century economic factors were more important in the explanation of inter-provincial migration patterns in Indonesia than planned migration policy aimed at the redistribution of the population. In addition, our regression analysis demonstrates that the urban primacy of Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, had a strong effect on the direction and size of migration flows as well. Our findings thus suggest that the costly government-supported migration is not very successful and that a strongly centralized government induces migration flows to the capital. These findings have policy implications for other developing countries

    Unity or diversity? On the integration and efficiency of rice markets in Indonesia, c. 1920-2006

    No full text
    The emergence of an integrated national economy in Indonesia has been a slow and ongoing evolutionary process. Using rice price series for a number of cities across the Indonesian archipelago, this paper provides quantitative evidence to track this process for the specific case of the rice market. It shows that during Indonesia's colonial period rice markets were relatively well integrated and functioned efficiently. However, the Second World War and the subsequent struggle for independence resulted in disintegrated and inefficient markets. It is only since the late 1970s that markets in Indonesia have returned to a situation in which we can speak about a national integrated economy with well-functioning markets.Market integration Indonesia Cointegration Market efficiency Rice prices

    Was It Really “Growth with Equity” under Soeharto? A Theil Analysis of Indonesian Income Inequality, 1961-2002

    For over three decades (1966-1998) socio-economic policies in Indonesia were founded on Soeharto’s development trilogy “growth, stability and equity”. Literature agrees that the policy goals of growth and stability were met by and large, but remains inconclusive about equity. In this paper we estimate Theil indices of sector income distribution to evaluate the impact of structural change on the trend of Indonesian income inequality for the period 1961-2002. Where conventional Gini-coefficients based on household expenditure surveys suggest that Indonesian income equality is comparatively confined and reveals no long run tendency in either upward or downward direction, our results indicate that inter and intra-sector income inequality increased rapidly under Soeharto, as well as the share of the labour force engaged in informal sector activities
