Architecture of sovereignty : stone bodies, colonial gazes, and living gods in South India /
No full textIn this innovative study, Gita V. Pai traces the history of the Pudu Mandapam (Tamil, 'new hall') - a Hindu temple structure in Madurai - through the rise and fall of empires in south India from the seventeenth century to the present. This wide-ranging work illustrates how south Indian temples became entangled in broader conflicts over sovereignty, from early modern Nayaka kings, to British colonial rule, to the post-independence government today. Drawing from methodologies in anthropology, religious studies, and art and architectural history, the author argues that the small temple site provides profound insight into the relationship between aesthetics, sovereignty, and religion in modern South Asia.Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 21 Apr 2023).In this innovative study, Gita V.

Assess the change in 3D PAI distribution by fire using TLS data
No full textRemote sensing has been applied to many scientific research in recent decades and Lidar is one of the most popular active remote sensing instrument. There are many kinds of Lidar data such as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. TLS data is potential for forest management such as measuring vegetation profiles, or foliage density, height and composition. In recent years, TLS data has been used to produce high resolution (10cm) 3D vegetation maps and calibrate and validate larger scale measurements. However, compared to other remote sensing method it can not measure a large area at once. In this research, we are aimed to assess the distribution of PAI based on 3D forest structure. We will use open-source programs such as voxelTLS, mpLidar and readRXP which provided by Hancock et al. (2017) (https://bitbucket.org/StevenHancock). During the processing, we can use CloudCompare to display the points cloud of forest structure so that we can have an overall impression. Based on the output file, we will classify the PAI with the forest structure and calculate average PAI value in each layer. In addition, we will use the PAI changes to analyse the destruction level caused by forest fire and give the preliminary estimating. This project is a computing work project without fieldwor
Author Redux: an analysis of the “Self”-translation behavior enacted in Pai Hsien-yung's Taipei people
No full textThis paper addresses the dual identity of Pai Hsien-yung as the author and co-translator in the collaborative self-translation of Taipei People to explore the impact of his identity as the author on the translation process. First, this paper employed Bourdieu’s Theory of Habitus to explain the development of Pai’s writing habitus and zoomed in to analyze the specific writing styles of Taipei People. Subsequently, this paper delves into Pai’s translation attitudes and habitus through text analysis.
The findings of the thesis are that Pai’s life experiences set the foundation for the nostalgia, tragedy, and combination of Chinese classics and western writing styles in his masterpiece, Taipei People. Moreover, his identity as the author yielded substantial effect on that as the co-translator, which was demonstrated both from the establishment of the translation team and the translation progress. The translated target texts to a great extent reflected his writing habitus. The areas impacted by such a habitus are arguably the translation of images, tones, Kunqu Opera, and the use of a stream of consciousness writing technique.
Pai Hsien-yung as the author ensured accuracy in text analysis and further faithfulness in the translation. In addition, he served as an initiator and instructor during the collaborative self-translation.Master's degre
Therapeutic Effects of a NEDD8-Activating Enzyme Inhibitor, Pevonedistat, on Sclerodermatous Graft-versus-Host Disease in Mice
No full textAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the sole treatment option for highly malignant hematologic disease; however, the major complication-graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-still hinders its clinical application. In addition, chronic GVHD remains the major cause of long-term morbidity and mortality after allo-HSCT. Previously we showed that bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, can ameliorate the sclerodermatous GVHD response while maintaining graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects. Here we report that pevonedistat (MLN4924), an inhibitor of the Nedd8-activating enzyme, which functions upstream of the proteasome in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, can also show similar protective effects. Recipient mice treated with pevonedistat demonstrated inhibitory effects on sclerodermatous GVHD pathogenesis. The beneficial effect of pevonedistat was observed to be temporally dependent. Whereas treatment given at the time of allo-HSCT administration or before the onset of symptoms worsened the scleroderma response, therapeutic administration starting at 20 days post-transplantation ameliorated the sclerodermatous GVHD. Flow cytometry analysis revealed differential effects on immune subsets, with inhibition of only antigen-presenting cells and not of donor T cells. Finally, pevonedistat preserved GVT effects in a sclerodermatous murine model of B cell lymphoma. Taken together, these data suggest that inhibition of neddylation with pevonedistat can serve as an alternative approach for the treatment of GVHD while maintaining GVT effects in a murine model of sclerodermatous GVHD
The cultural landscape of the pai pai, kiliwa and cucapá. Yumano ceremonial sites
No full textEste artículo busca definir lo que consideramos el paisaje cultural de los grupos que la antropología ha denominado yumanos, y quienes comparten efectivamente lazos parentales a través de la alianza, lo que suscita vivencias compartidas sobre una geografía dada. Es a partir de la mitología, el mundo de los muertos, las zonas en que habitan y fiestas de recolección que construyen una vía para describir el territorio simbolizado para siempre en los sentidos que lo expresan los cucapá, pai pai y kiliwa, pueblos originarios de la esquina norte de México en Baja California.This article seeks to define what is considered as the cultural landscape of the groups that anthropology has denominated yumanos, and who effectively share parental ties through their alliance, thus encouraging shared experiences in a given geographical zone. It is through mythology, the world of the dead, the regions they inhabit and their harvesting festivals that the basis for the description of the territory is symbolized forever through the senses expressed by the cucapá, pai pai and kiliwa, the native peoples of the northern corner of Mexico, in the State of Baja California.Anderson, Kay y Fay Gale. 1992 Introduction.

ANALISIS PEMBELAJARAN PAI PADA SEKOLAH UMUM: (Kajian pada pembelajaran PAI tingkat SMP/MTs)
No full textThis article aims to find out how PAI learning is carried out in public schools and the limitations or topics studied both in public schools and madrasas. In this case, the author generally reviews the curriculum, syllabus, and textbooks related to PAI learning and the portion of Islamic religious education in public schools. Based on the results of the study, it is known that there are indeed differences in the application of PAI learning between madrasas and public schools. In public schools, PAI is taught in a limited time, which is only allocated 3 hours of lessons. Especially in Aceh, due to the implementation of qanun on local content, lessons that contain religion in public schools get an additional two hours of lessons. So that previously only 3 hours of lessons have now become 5 hours of lessons, especially in SMP/SMPLB. Although the curriculum contains the same material and objectives, if the portion of PAI learning in public schools is very small, it will certainly have an impact on the output of PAI learning to be achieved in public schools
Expository Learning Model in Islamic Religious Education
No full textThe creation of effective learning is a result of the role that educators take in designing learning activities, including the selection of learning models to be used. Based on this point, in this research, the authors will explain the theory of expository learning model in PAI learning. The research method used refers to a qualitative approach, where the data is presented in narrative form related to the theory of expository learning model in PAI learning. The data sources of this research come from relevant books and articles, then analyzed using content analysis techniques to sort, identify, and conclude information from various literatures in order to give rise of different perspectives related to the expository learning model in PAI learning. From the analysis, the author found three sub-themes related to the expository learning model in PAI learning, which are: i) the concept of expository learning model, ii) the syntax of expository learning model, iii) the design of expository learning model in PAI learning. In the future, the author hopes that this research will have a positive impact, especially in the development of PAI learning models, so that students get a meaningful learning experience
Resolving distinct molecular origins for copper effects on PAI-1
No full text© 2017, The Author(s). Components of the fibrinolytic system are subjected to stringent control to maintain proper hemostasis. Central to this regulation is the serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), which is responsible for specific and rapid inhibition of fibrinolytic proteases. Active PAI-1 is inherently unstable and readily converts to a latent, inactive form. The binding of vitronectin and other ligands influences stability of active PAI-1. Our laboratory recently observed reciprocal effects on the stability of active PAI-1 in the presence of transition metals, such as copper, depending on the whether vitronectin was also present (Thompson et al. Protein Sci 20:353–365, 2011). To better understand the molecular basis for these copper effects on PAI-1, we have developed a gel-based copper sensitivity assay that can be used to assess the copper concentrations that accelerate the conversion of active PAI-1 to a latent form. The copper sensitivity of wild-type PAI-1 was compared with variants lacking N-terminal histidine residues hypothesized to be involved in copper binding. In these PAI-1 variants, we observed significant differences in copper sensitivity, and these data were corroborated by latency conversion kinetics and thermodynamics of copper binding by isothermal titration calorimetry. These studies identified a copper-binding site involving histidines at positions 2 and 3 that confers a remarkable stabilization of PAI-1 beyond what is observed with vitronectin alone. A second site, independent from the two histidines, binds metal and increases the rate of the latency conversion
