Before and After Comparative Philosophy
Authors: Moeller Hans-Georg
Published: September 2022

This paper traces the history of comparative philosophy and points to a transition toward post-comparative philosophy. It is argued that, theoretically speaking, comparative philosophy was created by making a distinction between Western and non-Western philosophy and then re-entering this distinction into one of its sides, namely non-Western philosophy. Historically speaking, comparative philosophy was preceded by Orientalist academic disciplines such as Indology and Sinology founded in the 19th century, as well as by the establishment of disciplines like “Chinese Philosophy” in non-Western countries. With the emergence of the field of comparative philosophy in the 20th century, two camps developed: one focusing on difference and the other on sameness. Post-comparative philosophy, it is argued, moves beyond difference and sameness and engages in diverse philosophical endeavours by employing sources from various traditions without constituting a specific field based on culturalist distinctions.
Morris ROSSABI: China and the Uyghurs: A Concise Introduction
Authors: Francis Norbert
Published: September 2022

An account of the history of the Uyghur people is indispensable for understanding the current crisis in Xinjiang province. This is where China and the Uyghurs begins. As a historian of East Asia, Professor Rossabi approaches the problem of understanding by applying an objective procedure of fact-finding, as is required of researchers in his field. Objective, here, first implies the gathering of evidence and other reliable information from historical sources and from reports of events, also from reliable sources, as they unfold in real time. Secondly, it implies examining the available information critically, from more than one point of view.
Chinese Philosophy as a World Philosophy
Authors: Li Chenyang
Published: September 2022

I will argue for three points. The first is on the need to make Chinese philosophy a world philosophy. The second point is that, in order to promote Chinese philosophy as a world philosophy we should not historicize philosophy. Philosophy and history are two different disciplines. As important as historical context is, overemphasizing it or even taking philosophy merely as a matter of intellectual history makes it difficult for non-specialists to study Chinese philosophy, and is therefore counter-productive to advancing it as a world philosophy. A good balance is thus needed in order to develop Chinese philosophy in response to contemporary needs and not to exclude a large number of non-specialists from studying and drawing on it. My third point is that comparative philosophy is the most effective way to study, examine and develop Chinese philosophy as a world philosophy. Comparative philosophy provides a much needed bridge across different cultures for philosophy to connect on the world stage.
Translation as a Philosophical Method
Authors: Silius Vytis
Published: September 2022

The article aims for a critical reflection on the practices and methodology of the so-called comparative philosophy. It starts from an observation that the recent successful developments in comparative philosophy nevertheless have a very limited impact outside the discipline. The article argues that a specific universality-particularity tension is to blame. Because “comparison” as a method also inherently displays this tension, and thus cannot overcome it, the article suggests seeing translation as a method of philosophical thinking. It is argued that this constitutes a postcomparative take on universality-particularity tension and a postcomparative response to the need for a more culturally inclusive academic philosophy. The advantages of looking at translation as a core methodological stance in intercultural postcomparative philosophy are suggested.

Published: September 2022

Background: Management of cancer-related bone pain (CRBP) with analgesics poses a substantial challenge. This study aimed to determine the correlation between pain control satisfaction and prescribed analgesics. Methods: This 12-month descriptive prospective study included 96 adults who were consecutively sampled and followed up daily for 5 days. Eligible patients had histopathologically confirmed tumor, osseous lesion(s) on radiographs, and cognitive capacity to rank pain on the Numerical Rating Scale. Data were collected using questionnaires drafted from the Brief Pain Inventory. Self-assessed pain scores within the past 24 hours were reported on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Pain control satisfaction was assessed as a single response question (satisfied, not sure, or dissatisfied). Associations were examined in multiple logistic regression models. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. Results: The median age was 57 (range, 19–90) years, and more males (52.1%) than females were recruited. The proportion of CRBP ranged from 83.3% to 86.5%, whereas that of moderate to severe pain ranged from 57.3% to 69.8%. Overall, 70.8% were satisfied with their pain control. Patients prescribed opioids (adjusted odds ratio, 0.027; p=0.041) had an increased likelihood of pain control satisfaction. Conclusion: Although a high percentage of patients experienced moderate to severe CRBP, a majority were satisfied with their analgesic pain control. Prescription opioids were associated with higher satisfaction. Policies that sustain ready accessibility of analgesics, particularly opioids, should be implemented.

Published: September 2022

Inflammatory bowel disease is an emerging gastrointestinal disease in Malaysia. One of its rare complications includes giant inflammatory polyposis (GIP). A 39-year-old woman presented with worsening per rectal mucous discharge, associated with blood, colicky abdominal pain, and weight loss. A series of endoscopies at another hospital did not provide an inconclusive diagnosis. Another repeat colonoscopy showed a left-sided colitis with marked erythema and friability with islands of polyps; this was concluded to be an ulcerative colitis based on histopathology; thus, medical treatment was commenced. However, 2 months later, the patient presented with constipation, which required laxatives, as well as a worsened lower abdominal pain. Subsequent colonoscopy revealed obstruction-caused GIP at the mid rectum extending to the lower rectum, which was confirmed by imaging modalities. She was diagnosed with obstructing GIP coupled with ulcerative colitis, and panproctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis were planned.

Published: September 2022

There is sparse literature on seasonal pattern of farmers and herdsmen conflict in Benue State, Nigeria despite numerous links between climate change and resource conflict. Thus, this study was designed to assess the seasonal occurrence of armed conflict in Benue State and analyze the monthly death casualties of armed conflict in Benue state from 2010-2019. Data were collected from secondary sources such as report of Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria watch data base and Newspapers. Data were presented in tables and analyzed using descriptive statistic such as range, mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Result shows that monthly occurrence of armed conflict ranged from 0-20 times with mean value of 4.92 and 98% coefficient of variation. March has the highest number (20) of armed conflict occurrence followed by April and, then July. October had zero (0) record of armed conflict from 2010-2019. Similarly, the monthly conflict death was higher in dry than rainy season. Monthly death ranged from 0-590 with mean value of 106 deaths and 95 % coefficient of variation. It was concluded that both the frequency and death casualties of resource conflict in Benue State have seasonal pattern and were more in dry than rainy season. Intensification of resolution mechanisms and ranching were recommended.
Rural access roads and the quest for agricultural development: an appraisal of the conditions in south-east in nigeria
Authors: Udeuhele, Godwin Ikechukwu,  , Eze, Anayochukwu Victor,
Published: September 2022

This study examined the quest for agricultural development in Nigeria vis-à-vis the conditions of rural access roads in South-east Nigeria. Specifically, the study investigated the impact of the condition of the three types of rural access roads, namely, bush-paths, gravel-surfaced roads, and tarred roads on the quantity of food crops produced by smallholder farmers, their income levels, and contribution to agricultural GDP. The study adopted the quantitative research method and cross-sectional survey design. The questionnaire was validated and pre-tested. The reliability test performed on the questionnaire showed a Cronbach’s Alpha Index of 0.823. Five (5) sample units comprising five chapters of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States were used to select 328 stratified random respondents. Descriptive statistics consisting of frequency counts, and percentages were used in analyzing the data. Three hypotheses were put forward for test using Simple Linear Regression and ANOVA. The findings show that bush-paths as rural access roads did not significantly increase the quantity of food crops produced by rural farmers, that gravel-surfaced roads as rural roads never increased the income level of rural farmers; and that tarred roads as rural access roads did not contribute significantly to total agricultural GDP. The study recommends that government and other major stakeholders like international agencies and other development partners should prioritize and embark on massive rural road construction and regular maintenance.
Arms race in the 21st century: consequences and mitigating measures
Authors: Abdulmajid M. Na’inna,  , Vladmir Anti-Dwanso,
Published: September 2022

Historically, arms races generate a great deal of interest both in the academia and policy circles for a variety of reasons. They are widely believed to have significant consequences for states' security. In the debate over their consequences, one side holds that arms races increase the probability of war by undermining military stability and straining political relations. The opposing view holds that engaging in an arms race is often a state's best option for avoiding war when faced with an aggressive adversary. The 21st Century is witnessing the return of arms race amongst states. Coupling with the advancements in technology, the menace of arms race in the 21st Century, therefore, if not curtailed could lead to war more devastating than witnessed in the last century. Using basic content analysis the study revealed that the 21st Century arms races are mainly in the area of nuclear weapons, hypersonic missiles, missile defence, cyber-warfare, and space weaponisation. The arms races are prominently amongst the world’s great powers such as the United States of America, Russia, and China as well as developing states like Iran and North Korea. This study discovered that nuclear weapons are still at the forefront of arms race in the 21st Century, despite efforts to reduce their role in global affairs and to negotiate further reductions in quantity. Also, states like the USA, China, and Russia are exploiting the advantage of speed and manoeuvrability to engage in arms race in hypersonic missiles. This has prompted nations to compete in the development of missile defences in order to counter the present missile threats. Furthermore, in anticipation for future warfare, nations such as the USA, China, and Russia are in arms race to weaponsise space by deploying space to space, earth to space and space to earth weapons, where appropriate. War in the 21st Century could in turn lead to more human, material, and environmental casualties due to the latest advancement in technologies and modernisation of existing weapons and associated equipments.  Consequently, measures are needed to ensure that arms races in the 21st Century, if not eliminated, are reduced to the barest minimum in order to promote international peace and security. Renewed commitments on existing arms control measures, formulation of new arms control measures, and the complete elimination of nuclear weapons are the measures that could be considered.
The effect of poorly controlled physical development on urban food production in Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Jimoh Umar Usman , Otokiti Kolade Victor
Published: September 2022

Urban expansion, mainly occasioned by poorly controlled physical development, continues to pose severe threats to sustainable food production. While studies have concentrated more on food production in the hinterlands of Nigeria, there is a dearth of information on empirical investigations into urban food supply. This study, therefore, examined the effect of poorly controlled physical development on urban food production in Ibadan. An ecological footprint model was used to provide its theoretical anchor, while a longitudinal survey was the research design of choice. Both primary and secondary data were sourced. Geographical and remote sensing methods of analysis were used, with the primary focus being on Ibadan City and the dairy farm that has been converted to non-agricultural uses. This research revealed that Ibadan’s total urban area increased from 70.3584 ha in 1986 to 411.8877 ha in 2019. This expansion was accompanied by the loss of agricultural land, the depletion of water bodies, and agricultural land conversion. Validation of the research findings revealed a relatively high accuracy in terms of the Kappa value of 0.72 and an overall classification accuracy of 79.17% for 1986, of 0.84 and 88.33% for 2000, and of 0.91 and 92.5% for 2019. This studyrecommends that farmers should be trained on soilless farming practices such as aeroponics and hydroponics which both require relatively small portions of land to produce food.

Authors: Abukari Osman Mohammed , Acheampong Akwasi Afrifa , Dadzie Isaac , Osah Samuel
Published: September 2022

In this study, we determined three-dimensional (3D) position coordinates for eight new Continuous Operating Reference Stations (CORS) in Ghana through three different GNSS positioning techniques. The three GNSS positioning techniques whereby the network of CORS was tied to ITRF14 and War Office 1926 datums included:1) Precise Point Positioning (PPP); 2) Precise Differential GNSS (PDGNSS), using reference stations based on ITRF14; and 3) PDGNSS, using reference stations based on War Office. The PPP solutions were computed using the Canadian Spatial Reference System Precise Point Positioning software (CSRS-PPP), available online and as an open source GNSS laboratory tool software (gLAB). The PDGNSS solutions were obtained from OPUS and AUSPOS online services, as well as from self-post-processing using Topcon Tools software v8.2.3. All solutions were computed using 24-hour data for twelve consecutive days in the month of October 2018 (GPS DoY 284 to GPS DoY 295). The quality, reliability, and acceptability of position solutions were measured by computing the average positioning error, the rate of ambiguity resolution and the repeatability ratios of the solutions. The variability of coordinate differences for each pair of different positioning techniques was computed to determine their solution congruences. Ultimately, , the average positioning errors in northing, easting, and height were 0.003m, 0.005m and 0.009m, respectively. The rate of ambiguity resolution was between 75.3% and 90.3%. Repeatability ratios ranged between 1: 68,500,000 and 1: 411,100,000. Finally, the minimum and maximum range of variability in coordinate differences for each pair of positioning techniques was 1mm to 16mm for horizontal positions and 2mm to 137mm for vertical positions.
Small dams: determining the minimum waterbody surface area that can be successfully detected using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery
Authors: Von Fintel M , Kemp J.
Published: September 2022

Water is a scarce resource in South Africa, and approximately 62% of the water used in South Africa is for irrigation. This water is stored in many small dams scattered across the country. If not managed correctly, they could have a negative effect on catchment areas and on the availability of water. As such, there is a need for a new monitoring and management system to be developed. This study determined the minimum surface area that would be required for a waterbody to be detected on Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. A Random Forest classifier was used to detect waterbodies on a Sentinel-1 image calculated from a time series of imagery taken over a period of three months. Steep incidence angles outperformed shallow incidence angles, with the classification having an overall accuracy of 80%. Detection rates were almost 90% for waterbodies of one hectare and greater, with no false positives, and a 10% false negative rate. These findings provide the foundation for developing a detection and monitoring system, which would allow for the better management of water resources in South Africa.
Electric field induced and enhanced magnetic properties of multiferroic material (BiFeO3)
Authors: Mebrahtu Abera
Published: September 2022

In this research work, enhancement and induction of magnetization and other related properties of ferro-electromagnet is reported. The ascertained enhancement and induction is supported by the Hamiltonian composed of itinerant electrons, localized electrons, and their mutual interactions. Using double time temperature dependent Green’s function formalism and equation of motion, the study exhibited the effect of external electric field that can induce and enhance the magnetization and other related parameters of the material. The expressions for spin wave energy, magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity of the system have been obtained and influenced by the action of an external electric field. These enhanced and induced functional responses of this material will present an opportunity to create and implement thin film devices that actively couple the magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. The results obtained in this work are in a good agreement with the previous theoretical and experimental findings.
Spectral problem for the Laplacian and a selfadjoint nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem
Authors: Gezahegn Natnael , Abdi Tadesse
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we present some connections between the spectral problem,

−Δu(x) = λ1u(x) in Ω,u(x) = 0 on ∂Ω

and selfadjoint boundary value problem,

Δu(x) − λ1u(x) + g(x, u(x)) = h(x) in Ω,u(x) = 0 on ∂Ω,

where λ1 is the smallest eigenvalue of −∆, Ω ⊆ Rn is a bounded domain, h ∈ L2(Ω) and the nonlinear function g is a Caratheodory function satisfying a growth condition. We initially investigate the existence of solutions for the spectral problem by considering the selfadjoint boundary value problem. The selfadjoint boundary value problem is then considered for both existence and estimation results. We use degree argument in order to show that the selfadjoint boundary value problem has a solution instead of the Landesman-Lazer condition or the monotonocity assumption on the second argument of the function g.

Published: September 2022

México cuenta con doce tratados comerciales firmados con el resto del mundo, sin embargo, las exportaciones realizadas por empresas mexicanas son relativamente pocas comparadas con el 75% llevadas a cabo por la inversión extranjera directa. La globalización ha traído consigo una alta competencia y una mayor dependencia del exterior, especialmente de EUA. Las exportaciones son motor del desarrollo económico, equivalen al 39% del PIB. Los fundamentos del comercio internacional apuntalan el marco teórico, Adam Smith s. XVIII y actualmente diversos autores como Gereffi entre otros. Este artículo insta a las instituciones de educación superior a considerar en en la formación de sus estudiantes, las competencias relacionadas con las características de la personalidad asociadas al emprendimiento internacional. El objetivo de este estudio identificar y medir las características de personalidad hacía el emprendimiento internacional de los estudiantes de primer semestre de la licenciatura de comercio y negocios globales, para posteriormente compararlas con los resultados del perfil de empresario mexicano exportador exitoso y con así, identificar las áreas de oportunidad y cuidado, de esta generación, a lo largo de su permanencia en el ITESO. El estudio arrojó que esta generación cuenta con alto empuje, alta influencia, baja constancia y bajo cumplimiento. La teoría de la personalidad que respalda esta propuesta es la teoría Adleleriana, ésta considera al ser humano como una persona en permanente búsqueda de metas y superación, susceptible al cambio. En cuanto al diseño metodológico se considera investigación descriptiva al dar cuenta de un determinado hecho o fenómeno, con universo definido.

Assessment of Drinking Water Accessibility and Quality in the Indo-Bhutan Himalayan Foothill Region of Assam, India
Authors: Saha S. , Bhagabati A. K. , Thakur R.
Published: September 2022

Despite fairly heavy rainfall, the Bhutan Himalayan foothill region of Assam has been facing serious water scarcity problems mainly due to the subsurface structure and soil condition. The local people of the region with their community efforts and traditional knowledge have developed a water management system locally known as Dong-bandh. This traditional canal water system provides the most reliable source of water to the people residing in the area. Besides the canals, they also collect water from the streams, natural springs, and wells. The quality of water is getting deteriorated over time under the influence of the growing population and their activities in the upstream areas. The present study is an attempt to investigate the status of water accessibility in the area and the quality of the drinking water used by the people. For this study, data and information have collected through field investigation, GPS survey, focus group discussion, and interviews with some key informants. A total of 14 drinking water samples were collected randomly from 14 foothill villages (both from the ground and surface) and tested to determine various physiochemical characteristics. The results were compared with the WHO and BIS/ ICMR water quality standards. Finally, the status of water quality was analyzed in terms of the Water Quality Index (WQI). The WQI values were found to lie between 21.75 to 502.38.
The Influence of Floodplain Vegetation Patches on Hydrodynamic Characteristics: A Case Study in the Old Course of Fuhe River
Authors: Li Da , Yang Zhonghua , Zheng Junjie , Liu Fangping , Ge Gang
Published: September 2022

As an important part of the river ecosystem, vegetation has a significant influence on hydrodynamic characteristics, water quality, river morphology, and ecological habitat. Combining vegetation survey with the verified numerical model, this study aims to analyze the impact of floodplain vegetation patches on hydrodynamic characteristics in the old course of Fuhe River under various combinations of incoming flow discharges, and flood diversion discharges, and changes in the land use type. The equivalent Manning coefficient was adopted to quantify the additional resistance induced by plants in the vegetation module of the numerical model. According to simulating results, vegetation patches would cause the water level to rise and velocity to decrease, which mainly affects the upstream of the old course of Fuhe River. And with the increase in incoming discharge, water level difference and velocity difference have an upward trend. It is also found that the resistance of Zizania latifolia to river flow is strongest followed by sugarcane, crops, and weeds because of the differences in vegetation characteristics. Furthermore, compared with existing vegetation conditions, converting farmland to Zizania latifolia and expanding farmland induce a moderate rise in water level upstream while the decreasing velocity happens in the area where land use type is changed. And there are areas where velocity increases located opposite to the velocity decreasing area because of the adjustment of cross-section velocity distribution caused by plants.

Authors: Carvalho Magno Ricardo Silva de , Gomes Iara Rafaela
Published: September 2022

A desconcentração espacial de corporações do setor terciário proporcionou a chegada de grandes superfícies comerciais em espaços urbanos não-metropolitanos. Esta dinâmica favoreceu o estabelecimento de novos espaços privados de consumo em Marabá, cidade média paraense. Fruto de pesquisa, este artigo visa contribuir para uma interpretação das práticas existentes nesta cidade, no que tange às centralidades do seu intraurbano diante da implantação, especialmente, dos supermercados. O percurso metodológico, de maneira geral, consistiu em revisão de literatura sobre temas e processos selecionados para investigação relacionados diretamente com o fenômeno urbano-espacial estudado, bem como de levantamento e análise de dados primários obtidos por meio de entrevistas e formulários aplicados nas saídas dos estabelecimentos supermercadistas. A nosso ver, houve mudanças significativas nas centralidades e, consequentemente, na estruturação da cidade de Marabá. Em linhas gerais, os novos espaços de consumo não apenas efetivaram-se, individualmente, enquanto expressões de centralidade, como suas respectivas presença e atuação, em muito contribuíram para a formação e consolidação de uma nova área central na cidade, localizada ao longo de parte considerável do trecho urbano da Rodovia Transamazônica.
A territorialização dos indígenas Katxuyana na região do Trombetas, oeste do Pará
Authors: Penha Luciene Monteiro , Silva Adnilson de Almeida
Published: September 2022

O artigo analisou o processo de territorialização dos indígenas Katxuyana, no município de Oriximiná, oeste paraense. No início dos anos 2000, os Katxuyana retornam para seu território de origem, após viverem por mais de 30 anos em outros territórios. O processo de territorialização para os Katxuyana tem um duplo significado: afirmação de uma identidade e a luta pela demarcação de seu território tradicionalmente ocupado. Esses coletivos têm relações diferenciadas com a forma de apropriação do território, gerando muitas vezes conflitos, lutas e territorialidade, sobre o qual se estabelece um sistema cultural que constituem os pilares do povo indígena e o sentido de pertencimento daquele território, que vai muito além de um meio de subsistência, possuindo dimensões simbólicas que fundamentam a vida social. Desta forma, as ações que envolvem o coletivo indígena são as reivindicações pelo direito de uso e autonomia política no território. Para a elaboração deste texto, foi realizada revisão bibliográfica referentes aos conceitos de territorialização, territorialidade e identidade, com ênfase em autores da Geografia e áreas afins, bem como, incorporou-se as reflexões frutos dos diálogos realizados com os Katxuyana, obtidas por meio de entrevistas, reuniões e trabalhos de campo.

Liver is a vital organ in the body that perform very important functions to keep health hemostasis. Liver function tests are a group of tests that determine the liver health in physiological and pathological conditions. The main objectives of the present study were to assess liver function using a panel of liver function tests among a sample of liver patients and to compare their levels with a sample of subjects who had no liver disease. To achieve the study objectives, we analyzed a dataset posted on Kaggle. The dataset described Indian liver patients and included 583 subjects among which 414 patients with liver disease and 167 subjects without liver disease. The results showed that demographic variables including age and gender were predictors of liver disease. On the other hand, liver function tests including bilirubin, ALT, AST, albumin, albumin globulin ratio, alkaline phosphatase were significantly associated with liver disease. The level of total proteins was not significantly associated with liver disease. Taken together, liver function tests can be used to assess liver disease. The interpretation of total proteins and AST should be considered with cautious

A estagnação e o decrescimento da produtividade tem sido uma realidade para os países da América Latina, como o Brasil. Em contraste, vários países asiáticos têm experimentado uma escalada considerável de ascensão na economia mundial vivendo um verdadeiro processo de catching up. O presente trabalho se debruçou sobre as origens para estas disparidades e apontou a estrutura setorial e sua mudança (structural change) como importantes para explicar o desempenho econômico. Objetivou-se analisar a evolução da produtividade setorial do trabalho brasileira entre 1950 e 2018 e decompor a causa da variação de produtividade no país neste período entre causas intrasetoriais e causas ligadas a mudança estrutural. Além disso, buscou-se realizar uma comparação internacional de produtividade setorial do trabalho entre Brasil, Coréia do Sul e China e compreender as disparidades destes países por meio da análise de suas decisões políticas, macroeconômicas e sociais. Por fim, objetivou-se analisar a influência da produtividade setorial sobre o crescimento do PIB per capita. No intuito de alcançar estes objetivos foram utilizados o método de decomposição conhecido por Shift Share e uma regressão econométrica. Os resultados apontam para uma estagnação da produtividade industrial brasileira nas últimas décadas, e inclusive um declínio no período mais recente avaliado de 2012-2018. Na comparação internacional de produtividade do trabalho industrial, a Coréia do Sul foi o país de maior produtividade desde a década de 90, o Brasil tem demonstrado certa estagnação e a China somente em 2015 ultrapassou o Brasil. Na análise de shift share o período entre 1950 a 1979 foi identificado como de elevado percentual acumulado de produtividade do trabalho para o Brasil. O período de 1980 a 1994, contudo, foi marcado pelo crescimento negativo da mesma. O período que se seguiu foi de recuperação econômica, mas os ganhos de produtividade do período 1950-79 não mais foram recuperados e o período de 2012 a 2018 apresentou componente intrasetorial e mudança estrutural negativos. O efeito de mudança estrutural foi importante contribuindo para a elevação de produtividade, especialmente entre 1950 a 2011. Por fim, o presente trabalho identificou por meio da estimação econométrica uma relação positiva entre a variável de produtividade industrial e o PIB. O mesmo também se identificou entre a variável de produtividade da manufatura e o PIB. Palavras-chave: Produtividade. Mudança Estrutural. Falling Behind.

In Japanese colonial era, Jeju residents established a number of Kaeryang seodangs on their own. These Kaeryang seodangs are equipped with facilities equivalent to ordinary schools. Jeju residents promoted the school to ordinary School. School establishment activities were most actively carried out in coastal villages in Bukjeju. On the other hand, the villages in Bukjeju and Namjeju were relatively inactive. The reason for this difference is that the difference in economic power between villages should be considered first. At that time, Jeju Island had two large sources of economic income. One was the material of the haenyeo and the other was the remittance of Jeju residents in Japan. Coastal villages were more active in these two factors than in other regions, so their economic power was relatively dominant, and based on this, they led the establishment of elementary education institutions.
The strong community of Jeju Island's village also helped establish a school. Modified Seodang was built on a village-by-town basis and was impossible to operate without the cooperation of villagers. The fact that many improved seodangs were built shows that the bond between the residents of Jeju Island was strong. As such, the establishment of an elementary education institution developed in Jeju Island, Japanese colonial era, is significant in that it itself shows the educational enthusiasm and educational activities of Jeju residents. And furthermore, such activities were possible in the economic, socio-cultural background of Jeju Island.

The Jeju area, which began to be built only in Yongyeon, Jeju-mok in the late 17th century, has spread throughout the Jeju area since the 18th century, and there are not only names engraved on the names of visitors and rocks at the destination, but also other stone carvings. In the 19th century, as Jeju people also participated in the construction of stone sculptures led by Jeju pastors, Rock cliff carvings continued to be built in Jeju until the early 20th century.
In terms of historical records, these Rock cliff carvings built in the Jeju area in the late Joseon Dynasty show a special governance system in the Jeju area during the Joseon Dynasty, when Jeju pastors had to supervise and control two prefectures of Daejeong and Jeongui according to their duties as observers. Second, it reflects the political and social image of the times in the Jeju area in the late Joseon Dynasty.
Third, it shows one side of Joseon's civilian policy based on Confucianism. Fourth, it shows the process of land culture entering, spreading, and settling in the Jeju area.

This study aims to analyze the current situation and problems of the Jeju Investment Promotion District, which is the main means of Jeju Island development, and to seek for improvement plans for them in point of practical management. Since its introduction in 2002, the Jeju Investment Promotion District has been evaluated to have succeeded in attracting 7.6 trillion won in investment over 20 years, thanks to support such as unprecedented taxation. And it also exposed many problems such as abuse of tax benefits and land arbitrages. Past studies have mainly focused on improving the framework of the system to prevent these problems. This study looked for improvement plans by analyzing the current status of each region, investment amount, and industry in the investment promotion district and the types of business sectors of which designation has been lifted. Literature research method using literature data as that of local government, previous research papers and media contents was used. As a result of the study, there is relatively more investment in the west than the east, so it is necessary to induce more investment in the east in the future. The cancellation rate of designation of mega business sectors such as comprehensive recreation business was high, so it was necessary to reduce it through much more intensive management. In addition, there were many cases of Investment District Cancellation and land arbitrages, which included many comprehensive recreation business sectors. So it was necessary to prevent it through elaborate management.

This study examines the establishment and operation of Jeju Island fishermen’s associations during the Japanese colonial era. Fishermen’s associations began to be established under the Joseon Fishery Ordinance and the Fishermen’s Associations Rule promulgated by the Japanese Government General of Korea in 1912, and the number of fishermen’s associations had since increased to approximately 200 by 1942.
The first fishermen’s association established in Jeju Island is Woljeong-ri Fishermen’s Association in Woljeong-ri, Gujwa-myeon in 1916. The association was founded by Park Seong-il and other villagers as the anchovy fishery in Woljeong-ri had the largest catch in Jeju Island. Later, the Chuja-do Fishermen’s Association was established in 1919; the Jeju Island Haenyeo’s Association in 1920; and the Seogwi Fishermen’s Association in 1925. The 1929 promulgation of the Joseon Fishery Ordinance led to the establishment of myeon-unit fishermen’s associations in Jeju Island in the 1930s.
Members of fishermen’s associations in Jeju Island protested against the tyranny of fishermen’s associations, as seen in the 1926 uprising by fishermen from the Chuja-do Fishermen’s Association and the 1932 anti-Japanese movement by haenyeo from the Jeju Island Fishermen’s Association. The study on Jeju Island fishermen’s associations will provide an opportunity to learn about the modern history of Jeju Island through fishermen’s associations.
