Pagtatanghal ng Tulang Akeanon: Papel ng Vernakular sa Pag-akda ng Pambansang Panitikan
No full textBilang vernakular, ang tulang Akeanon ay kailangang itanghal upang mabasa at mabigyang-puwang sa pambansang panitikan. Gamit ang pagbasang kultural na nakaangot sa konseptwalisasyon ng “pambansang panitikan” nina Bienvenido Lumbera at Rolando Tolentino, tatangkaing ipalabas ng papel ang mga nilupig na kaalaman (subjugated knowledges) at praktis sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalitaw ng panitikang oral (hal., epiko at hueobaton) at paglulugar ng tulang Akeanon sa kolonyal na kultura. Haka-haka ng papel na sa kabila ng paggamit ng Pormalismo, ang mga tulang Akeanon ay mayroon pa ring bahid (trace) ng panitikang oral at katutubong kultura na siyang pinaghahanguan ng mga talinghaga para sa pagbabalikwas at pag-aalsa laban sa dominanteng uri, kasarian at lahi. Ang tulang Akeanon, higit sa “pagkilala” at “pag-iisa” sa kasaysayan at kulturang pambansa, ay nagsusumikap ring mag-akda ng sariling posisyonalidad sa diskurso ng pambasang panitikan.Mga susing salita: vernakular, panitikang oral, pambansa, pambansang panitikan, nilupig na kaalaman, lingua francaAkeanon poetry as vernacular needs to be foregrounded for it to have a space in the national literature. Using cultural studies and Bienvenido Lumbera and Rolando Tolentino’s concept of “national literature,” this paper attempts to show the subjugated knowledges and practices by foregrounding oral literature (eg. epic and proverbs), and positioning Akeanon poetry in the colonial culture. This paper proposes that despite the use of Formalism, Akeanon poetry still has the trace of oral literature and native culture, where metaphors are mined to subvert and rise against the dominating class, gender, and race. Akeanon poetry, more than “identifying” and “uniting” with history and the national culture, tries to write its own positionality in the discourse of national literature.Keywords: vernacular, oral literature, national, national literature, subjugated knowledg
SALAPI, DANGAL, PANINIWALA: Ang Komodipikasyon ng Kaluluwa sa Kathambuhay, Sa Ngalan ng Diyos ni Faustino Aguilar
No full textAbstrak Matagumpay na nailarawan ni Faustino Aguilar sa Sa Ngalan ng Diyos ang sitwasyon ng bayan noong dekada 1900-1910. Sa pagkagapi ng rebolusyonaryong Republika, namayani ang oligarkya ng mga burokrata-kapitalista sa ilalim ng imperyong Amerika. Nagkaroon ng puwang ang mga Heswita na ipagpatuloy ang hanapbuhay sa pagsasamantala. Naipit ang anak-pawis at gitnang-uri, walang alternatibo kundi indibidwalistikong pag-aklas. Bagama’t nabigo ng simbahan ang Amerikano sa pagsuyo sa mayamang Filipina, simbolo ng minanang kabihasnan, naisakatuparan sa isang ironikal na bugso ng mga pangyayari ang komodipikasyon ng diwa’t kaluluwa, sa madaya’t tusong estratehiya ng simbahan. Naihimatong sa banghay ng nobela ang posibilidad na ang kontradiksiyon ng lumang gawi at makabagong pananaw ay malulutas sa pagsasabwatan ng kapitalismo’t relihiyon hanggang wala pang kolektibong organisasyong makapipigil sa simabahan at makapagbubuwag sa kolonisadong orden. Mga Susing Salita: Diyos, Heswita, kontradiksiyon, piyudal, kapitalismo, oligarkya, kolonyalismo, higanti Abstract In concentrating a few characters in revealing incidents, Aguilar incisively rendered the country’s dire situation during the first decade of U.S. colonialism, 1900-1910. With the stifling of the revolutionary Malolos Republic, the native oligarchy of bureaucrat-capitalists flourished, patronized by the imperialist administrators. Within this space/period of coopting the subaltern ilustrados, the Jesuit order seized their opportunity to sustain their exploitative practices (interrupted by the U.S. purchase of friar lands). Workers and peasants, together with the tiny petit-bourgeois stratum, suffered without any alternative except by performing individualist gestures of mock refusal or sublimated resistance. While the Jesuits frustrated the Americans (personified by the American suitor) in winning over the rich Filipina heiress, symbol of the inherited wealth and aristocratic culture of the past, the commodification of soul/mind was accomplished here in one ironic turn of events. It transpired in the deceptive, clever strategy for which the Jesuists have been famous in history. We can discern in the plot’s trajectory the possibilities of contradiction between the traditional manners/style of the patriarchal past, the communal ethos, and the modernist world-view. Such contradictions can be resolved by the connivance of the colonial/capitalist managers of the colony and the Roman Catholic church (represented here by the crafty Jesuits). This will continue unless a collective organization of the popular strata (workers, peasants, artisans, professionals) emerges in due time that can restrain the opportunistic religious orders and overthrow the predatory colonial regime.

Near-capacity code design for entanglement-assisted classical communication over quantum depolarizing channels
No full textWe have conceived a near-capacity code design for entanglement-assisted classical communication over the quantum depolarizing channel. The proposed system relies on efficient near-capacity classical code designs for approaching the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of a quantum depolarizing channel. It incorporates an Irregular Convolutional Code (IRCC), a Unity Rate Code (URC) and a soft-decision aided Superdense Code (SD), which is hence referred to as an IRCC-URC-SD arrangement. Furthermore, the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of an N-qubit superdense code transmitted over a depolarizing channel is invoked for benchmarking. It is demonstrated that the proposed system operates within 0.4 dB of the achievable noise limit for both 2-qubit as well as 3-qubit SD schemes. More specifically, our design exhibits a deviation of only 0.062 and 0.031 classical bits per channel use from the corresponding 2-qubit and 3-qubit capacity limits, respectively. The proposed system is also benchmarked against the classical convolutional and turbo codes
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

Modulation-Mode Assignment for SVD-Aided and BICM-Assisted Spatial Division Multiplexing
No full textIn this contribution the number of activated MIMO layers and the number of bits per symbol along with the appropriate allocation of the transmit power and the rate of the BICM error correcting codes are jointly optimized under the constraint of a given fixed data throughput. The performance investigations are carried out by computer simulations and confirmed by the EXIT charts. Our results show that not necessarily all MIMO layers have to be activated in order to achieve the best BERs
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Reduced-complexity non-coherent soft-decision-aided DAPSK dispensing with channel estimation
No full textDifferential Amplitude Phase Shift Keying (DAPSK), which is also known as star-shaped QAM has implementational advantages not only due to dispensing with channel estimation, but also as a benefit of its low signal detection complexity. It is widely recognized that separately detecting the amplitude and the phase of a received DAPSK symbol exhibits a lower complexity than jointly detecting the two terms. However, since the amplitude and the phase of a DAPSK symbol are affected by the correlated magnitude fading and phase-rotations, detecting the two terms completely independently results in a performance loss, which is especially significant for soft-decision-aided DAPSK detectors relying on multiple receive antennas. Therefore, in this contribution, we propose a new soft-decision-aided DAPSK detection method, which achieves the optimum DAPSK detection capability at a substantially reduced detection complexity. More specifically, we link each a priori soft input bit to a specific part of the channel's output, so that only a reduced subset of the DAPSK constellation points has to be evaluated by the soft DAPSK detector. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed soft DAPSK detector exhibits a lower detection complexity than that of independently detecting the amplitude and the phase, while the optimal performance of DAPSK detection is retained
