Designs on “Old Seto” Porcelain
No full textIt is widely known that the porcelain ware called Ko (Old) Seto, produced in the Seto area around the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, shows the influence of Sung China in its shapes and designs. It has not been studied thoroughly, however, how the Chinese inspiration was accepted. Believing that such studies will be valuable, the author has made some researches on the subject. The existing pieces of the Old Seto ware are numerous, and ornamental designs on them cover a wide variety. The author chose, as the basis of his researches, jars and vases which are believed to be genuine and typical, and studied designs which appear frequently on these.
As space does not allow discussions on all individual pieces, the author herein reports only the results of his researches. Designs on them include those imitating ornaments of Chinese Lung-ch‘üan celadon and Ching-tê-chên pale-white porcelain (ying-ching) of the Southern Sung period, and of the Korean Kōrai (Koryo) celadon ; Chinese- and Korean-style ones to which Japanese-style motifs are added, or which are modified into Japanese style, and those consisting of Japnese-style motifs only. Through these designs the author found that they attest to considerably creative, original ideas of Seto potters.
It is evident that the Old Seto pieces were made during the last part of the Kamakura Period, but the chronological order of individual specimens is hard to tell ; it is therefore impossible exactly to describe how these designs developed. Nevertheless they are very significant from the viewpoint of designs in Japanese ceramics, and in Japanese handicrafts in general.
Pre-historic and proto-historic earthenwares are left out here. There are a few examples of Heian Period pottery which have ornaments in line-engraving, but the Old Seto ware has no ornaments either similar to or apparently derived from them. Furthermore, pottery pieces with decorative patterns prior to the Kamakura Period are mostly in shapes imitating those of metal objects, and their patterns, also following metal examples, are hardly ones peculiar to pottery. Designs on the Old Seto ware, however, are desings characteristic of ceramics, and are diferent in character from earlier ones. It cannot be denied that the tradition of the Sué Type Pottery of the Heian Period carried on partly into the Old Seto, but in decorative designs the Old Seto potters, instead of following old tradition, chose imported continental-style ornaments which they improved with their original ideas and which were laden with the vigorous spirit of the Kamakura Period of the warriors' rule. It is notable, too, that designs on the Old Seto ware are the first examples of pottery designs in the true sense of the term in Japan.
Comparison of Old Seto ornaments with designs in other fields of decorative arts is interesting. In lacquer art, the Kamakura-bori imitated the effect of the Chinese carved lacquer just as the Old Seto copied continental designs, but it did not achieve notable development. Designs in maki-e lacquer and in metalwork were traditional cnes flavoured with the taste of the time. Those on mirror-backs also adhered to tradition, though only a very few of them imitated Chinese Han-style mirrors of the Sung Dynasty. The novel designs in Old Seto discussed above are remarkable achievements of the then newly-risen ceramic industry in the Seto area.journal articl
Mass occurrence of the cubomedusa Copula sivickisi (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) at Seto Harbor, Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan in summer of 2013, a recent example of global warming
No full textMore than 200 very young medusae of Copula sivickisi (Stiasny) were collected within totally 60 minutes at two nights in June, 2013 at the Seto Harbor, Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan. This mass occurrence might be related to recent global warming at Shirahama, known as the northernmost distributional locality of this cubozoan species. It is assumed that the polyp stage of this species may live in the surrounding areas, because there jellyfish were small size (most are less than 1.6 mm height) that was conceivable as the newly released one from the polyp.Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Assis, Assis, Avenida Dom Antônio, 2100, Parque Universitário, CEP 19806900, SP, BrasilUniversidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Assis, Assis, Avenida Dom Antônio, 2100, Parque Universitário, CEP 19806900, SP, Brasi
Estudo comparativo entre dois processos construtivos sob o ponto de vista de sua influência na formação do fluxo de caixa de empreendimentos imobiliários habitacionais
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnologico. Programa de Pós-graduação em Engenharia CivilEste trabalho faz a investigação das questões ligadas às finanças de um empreendimento habitacional, definindo como problemática de estudo, buscando investigar se o processo construtivo adotado interfere no fluxo de caixa durante o ciclo de produção. Objetiva-se verificar os ingressos e os desembolsos financeiros de um empreendimento imobiliário habitacional e retirar dados e conclusões, visando auxiliar na investigação da viabilidade econômico-financeira do sistema construtivo que aplica a alvenaria estrutural com blocos de concreto. A definição de uma hipótese parte do princípio de que a tecnologia construtiva pode interferir no fluxo de caixa de um empreendimento habitacional. Uma atenção especial é dada ao desenvolvimento do fluxo de caixa e a importância de tê-lo como uma ferramenta para o auxílio à definição das estratégias e gestão de empresas. A metodologia utilizada envolve a revisão da literatura em obras pertinentes ao tema e o estudo do fluxo de caixa de um empreendimento localizado no município de Umuarama/PR. Como resultado, obteve-se a resposta de que o fluxo de desembolsos financeiros do processo construtivo em alvenaria estrutural não é muito diferente do processo construtivo em concreto armado com fechamento em tijolos cerâmicos furados
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

Analysis of Critical Factors Influencing Project Performance in Construction Projects at CV Adhi Citra Haryo Seto
No full textConstruction projects often face challenges in meeting cost, time, and quality targets. This study aims to analyze: the effect of top management support as a critical factor on project performance, the effect of project team competence as a critical factor on project performance, the effect of green project practices as a critical factor on project performance, and the mediating role of project management effectiveness in these relationships. The research was conducted at CV Adhi Citra Haryo Seto, which managed seven projects during 2023–2025, involving 103 project personnel as respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4. The findings indicate that project performance at CV Adhi Citra Haryo Seto improves when top management provides consistent support, project teams demonstrate adequate competencies, and green project practices are effectively implemented. These three factors are reinforced through project management effectiveness, where well-prepared planning, structured coordination, and responsive control serve as the bridge that translates leadership support, team capabilities, and green project practices into tangible achievements in cost, time, quality, and project sustainability
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
