Martin Heidegger and Kitayama Junyū
No full textHeidegger’s early philosophical project was identified with a nihilistic philosophy of nothingness after the 1927 publication of Being and Time—with its depiction of the radical existential anxiety of being-towards-death—and his 1929 lecture “What is Metaphysics?”—with its analysis of the loss of all orientation and comportment in the face of an impersonal self-nihilating nothingness. Heidegger’s philosophy of nothingness would be contrasted in both Germany and Japan in the 1930s and 1940s with “Oriental nothingness” by authors such as Kitayama Junyū, a neglected Japanese philosopher active in Germany and an early interpreter of Heidegger and Nishida. In this contribution, I trace how Heidegger’s reflections on nothingness and emptiness (which are distinct yet intertwined expressions) become interculturally entangled with East Asian discourses in the early reception of his thought, particularly in Kitayama and the introduction of Nishida’s philosophy into Germany, and their significance in Heidegger’s “A Dialogue on Language”
Disassembly and Reuse of Structural Members in Steel-Framed Buildings: State-of-the-Art Review of Connection Systems and Future Research Trends
No full textReducing carbon emissions in the construction sector is essential in a period of climate emergency. Disassembly and reuse of structural members are considered to reduce the carbon emissions from the construction and deconstruction of buildings. In this context, it is important to review the current state of the art to provide a framework for the development of future structural systems that can enable the easy disassembly and reuse of steel-framed buildings. This paper (1) presents a review of more than 100 documents to discuss the feasibility of disassembly and reuse of structural members; (2) develops detailed schematic illustrations to explain the design concepts and the underlying mechanics governing the behavior of demountable connections; (3) sheds lights on the technical and design challenges to implement disassembly and reuse of the structural members; and (4) defines future research needs to facilitate the disassembly and reuse of the structural members

His current research focuses on cultural variations in various psychological processes such as self, cognition, emotion, and motivation as well as cultural neuroscience. He teaches courses on social psychology, cultural psychology, emotion and culture, and globalization. Kitayama is the author of the Handbook of Cultural Psychology, with Dov Cohen, (Guilford Press, 2007), The Heart’s Eye: Emotional Influences in Perception and Attention (Academic Press, 1994), and Culture and Emotion: The study of Mutual Influences, with Hazel Markus, (APA Press, 1994). His collaborative work with Hazel Markus on culture and self has had seminal influences in not only psychology but also related disciplines. In addition to serving as co-editor of numerous books, he has also published extensively in leading psychology journals, and he currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, a leading journal in personality and social psychology. Kitayama has received numerous awards and honors including fellowships from the Center for Advanced Study on Behavioral Sciences, Fulbright, and the American Psychological Society.

Martin Heidegger in Kitayama Junyū: Nič, praznina in stvar
No full textHeidegger’s early philosophical project was identified with a nihilistic philosophy of nothingness after the 1927 publication of Being and Time—with its depiction of the radical existential anxiety of being-towards-death—and his 1929 lecture “What is Metaphysics?”—with its analysis of the loss of all orientation and comportment in the face of an impersonal self-nihilating nothingness.

Heideggerjevi filozofiji niča so v tridesetih in štiridesetih letih 20. stoletja v Nemčiji in na Japonskem avtorji, kot je Kitayama Junyū, zapostavljeni japonski filozof, ki je deloval v Nemčiji in bil zgodnji interpret Heideggerja in Nishide, nasproti postavljali »orientalski nič«. V tem prispevku zasledujem, kako se Heideggerjeva razmišljanja o niču in praznini (ki sta različna, a prepletena izraza) medkulturno prepletajo z vzhodnoazijskimi diskurzi v zgodnji recepciji njegove misli, zlasti pri Kitayami in uvajanju Nishidove filozofije v Nemčiji, ter njihov pomen v Heideggerjevem »Dialogu o jeziku«
Categorical effects on stimulus judgment in American and Chinese students
No full textTo investigate if cognitive processes involved in a perceptual assimilation effect might vary across cultures, the author tested American and Chinese university students in the US and China (American in the US, Chinese in the US & Chinese in China) in a category induction task. Result indicated that all three cultural groups demonstrate an assimilation effect. Importantly, however, this assimilation effect was largest for Chinese in China and smallest for Americans in the US, with Chinese in the US falling right in-between. Implications for the role of culture in basic cognition are discusse
Demonstration of a 64-chip OCDMA system using superstructured fiber gratings and time-gating detection
No full textWe investigate the benefits of using time-gating detection in an optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) system that comprises bipolar 64-chip long superstructure fiber Bragg grating encoders and decoders. Transmission of the codes is demonstrated, and it is shown that correlation combined with time-gating detection can provide some resilience to the distorting effects of dispersion, as well as the multiple access interference
Inclusion of theory-relevant moderators yield the same conclusions as Sedikides, Gaertner, and Vevea (2005): A meta-analytical reply to Heine, Kitayama, and Hamamura (2007)
No full textHeine, Kitayama and Hamamura (2007) attributed the Sedikides, Gaertner and Vevea (2005) findings to the exclusion of six papers. We report a meta-analysis that includes those six papers. The Heine et al. conclusions are faulty, because of a misspecified meta-analysis that failed to consider two moderators central to the theory. First, some of their effect sizes originated from studies that did not empirically validate comparison dimensions. Inclusion of this moderator evidences pancultural self-enhancement: Westerners enhance more strongly on individualistic dimensions, Easterners on collectivistic dimensions. Second, some of their effect sizes were irrelevant to whether enhancement is correlated with dimension importance. Inclusion of this moderator evidences pancultural self-enhancement: Both Westerners and Easterners enhance on personally important dimensions. The Sedikides et al. conclusions are valid: Tactical self-enhancement is pancultural
