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

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
Role of the Ubiquitin Proteasome System in the Heart
No full textProper protein turnover is required for cardiac homeostasis and, accordingly, impaired proteasomal function appears to contribute to heart disease. Specific proteasomal degradation mechanisms underlying cardiovascular biology and disease have been identified, and such cellular pathways have been proposed to be targets of clinical relevance. This review summarizes the latest literature regarding the specific E3 ligases involved in heart biology, and the general ways that the proteasome regulates protein quality control in heart disease. The potential for therapeutic intervention in Ubiquitin Proteasome System function in heart disease is discussed
The Screening Scale for Pedophilic Interests (SSPI): Construct, Predictive, and Incremental Validity
No full textThis study of 410 adult male sex offenders against children, using data from the Dynamic Supervision Project (Hanson, Harris, Scott, & Helmus, 2007), examined the construct, predictive, and incremental validity of the Screening Scale for Pedophilic Interests (SSPI; Seto & Lalumière, 2001), a brief proxy measure of phallometrically assessed sexual response to children that is based on sexual victim characteristics. As predicted, the SSPI was significantly related to the Deviant Sexual Interests item on the STABLE-2007 (Hanson et al., 2007), a dynamic risk measure encompassing multiple domains, and with the Deviant Sexual Interests item from its predecessor, the STABLE-2000 (Hanson et al., 2007). The SSPI was unrelated (or more weakly related) to items measuring general antisociality. In addition, the SSPI significantly predicted sexual recidivism, defined as new charges or convictions for sexual offenses, and a broader sexual recidivism outcome that included breaches of community supervision conditions that might involve sexually motivated behavior (e.g., being in the presence of children unsupervised). The SSPI did not add to the predictive accuracy of 2 actuarial risk measures, the Static-99R and Static-200R (Helmus, Thornton, Hanson, & Babchishin, 2012), but it did add to the predictive accuracy of the STABLE-2007. Additional analyses suggest the SSPI can serve as a substitute for the STABLE-2007 Deviant Sexual Interests item, if necessary (e.g., in archival research), when assessing sexual offenders against children
Predictions of microstructure and stress in planar extensional flows of a dense viscous suspension
No full textWe consider extensional flows of a dense layer of spheres in a viscous fluid and employ force and torque balances to determine the trajectory of particle pairs that contribute to the stress. In doing this, we use Stokesian dynamics simulations to guide the choice of the near-contacting pairs that follow such a trajectory. We specify the boundary conditions on the representative trajectory, and determine the distribution of particles along it and how the stress depends on the microstructure and strain rate. We test the resulting predictions using the numerical simulations. Also, we show that the relation between the tensors of stress and strain rate involves the second and fourth moments of the particle distribution function
Rising and Falling Tonality in Seto Multipart Songs (South-East Estonia). The Kergütämine Technique and its Functions
No full textChanging pitch level (tonality) in traditional unaccompanied vocal music is a widespread but little studied phenomenon (Alekseyev 1986; Ambrazevičius 2014, 2015; Scherbaum & Mzhavanadze 2020). There is a well-known tendency towards gradual upward transposition, but the focus of this study is the much rarer phenomenon of abrupt downward modulation following a gradual rise in pitch regularly practiced in the multipart songs of the Seto (Southeast Estonia) and known as kergütämine (“relief ”). This study is the first attempt to describe this unusual technique by means of an acoustic analysis of samples belonging to the “primary” tradition. The main research material is composed of nine songs performed by the choirs of three prominent Seto lead singers, Anne Vabarna (b. 1877), Kreepa Pihlaste (b. 1892), and Veera Pähnapuu (b. 1916). The results of the analysis not only allow a thorough description of this technique, but also enable us to test three main hypotheses regarding the functions of kergütämine: 1) as a practical necessity to facilitate singing; 2) as a semantic and compositional device associated with the verbal text; 3) as an ancient custom that should be maintained. As a result of the study, one further explanation is proposed, namely that a rapid pitch rise originally had an independent aesthetic value and emotional and ritual functions in the Seto tradition, and the role of kergütämine was not to restrain the rise but to promote it, giving the choir “space” for more rapid ascent
