„САВРЕМЕНИ НОВИ САД“ – МЕЂУРАТНИ ЛОКАЛНИ НЕДЕЉНИ ТАБЛОИД
Authors: Barović Vladimir
Published: January 2018

У истраживању се анализира лист „Савремени Нови Сад“ који представља први локални недељни таблоид у међуратној историји новосадске журналистике. У раду смо изнели тематски опус посматраног медија који се бавио градским темама, скандалима, сензационалним вестима, проституцијом, корпуцијом, криминалном, спортом, а било је и рубрика које се баве сатиром и шалом. У редакцији тог медија окупила се група новосадских новинара коју предводи Велисав Спасић. Анализирани медиј у структури је имао доста локалних вести, коментара, цртица, козерија и уредничких уводника. Анализом медијског дискурса може се установити да је тај медиј имао новинаре који се воде таблодиним резоном да је занимљивост и сензационализам важнији од јавног интереса. Због текстова у којима се нападају личности, редакција је више пута добијала озбиљне претње. „Савремени Нови Сад“ одликују одличне карикатуре, мали број фотографија и скромне графичке могућности. Лист је као таблоид имао одређену улогу у међуратној журналистици на српском језику јер је хроничар разних градских скандалозних догађаја и процеса који излазе из оквира стандардне политичке и привредне историје Новог Сада.
POLITIČKI TV SPOT PREDSEDNIČKE KAMPANJE U SRBIJI 2017
Authors: Valić Nedeljković Dubravka
Published: January 2018

Cilj ovog rada je da se dekonstruišu političke poruke propagandnih televizijskih političkih spotova u vreme predsedničke predizborne kampanje u Srbiji 2017.

Korpus je obuhvatio 64 televizjska promotivna politička predizborna spota 11 kandidata za predsednika Srbije.

Korišćena je kvalitativna i kritička  analiza medijskog diskursa i deskriptivna metoda.

Predsеdnička kampana 2017., kada je u pitanju predizborni politički televizijski spot, bila je kreativna, raznovrsne i bogate produkcije. Istovremeno, prema rezultatima izbora, odvijajući se samo na Internetu, nije doprla do birača. Kandidati koji su se promovisali  najkreativnijim, i po sadržaju i po formi, spotovima sa veoma jаsnim porukama suštinski su dobili najmanje glasova jer su njihova realna politička moć i uticaj mali.
ЗЛОУПОТРЕБА МОЋИ МЕДИЈА НА ПРИМЕРИМА "ОТВОРЕНИХ ПИСАМА"
Authors: Pralica Dejan
Published: January 2018

Овај рад представља покушај да се скрене пажња на то да се уз помоћ јавне речи може злоупотребљавати утицај медија и ширити политички некоректан говор. Циљ рада јесте да покаже које све стратегије актер користи како би се кроз форму отворених писама обрачунао са неистомишљеницима. Kорпус овог истраживања представља свих девет отворених писама које је власник Медијске компаније Пинк  Жељко Митровић током јуна и јула 2017. упутио власнику дневног листа Курир Александру Родићу (четири писма), народном посланику Демократске странке Радославу Милојичићу (три писма) и локалном политичару и естрадном менаџеру Саши Мирковићу (два писма).  Сва писма – јавна обраћања обилују говором мржње и данима су у информативним емисијама у целини објављивана на програмима Телевизије Пинк, као и у појединим дневним листовима са високим тиражима. Методом квалитативне анализе садржаја јавних писама утврђени су елементи које пошиљалац користи како би дисквалификовао поменуте примаоце поруке: формуле поздрављаља и опраштања, лексику, стилске фигуре, као и стратегије: антагонизма, уцене, моралисања и адвоката у име власти.
The Serbian version of the Almost Perfect Scale
Authors: Genc Ana L.
Published: January 2018

Osnovni ciljevi ovog rada bili su prevod i adaptacija skale za procenu perfekcionizma (the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised – APS-R, Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi, & Ashby, 2001) sa engleskog na srpski jezik, pri čemu je korišćena tehnika dvosmernog prevođenja, da bi se osigurala adekvatna srpska verzija ovog mernog instrumenta. Dodatni ciljevi su se odnosili na proveru strukture prostora merenja prevedenog upitnika, kao i na utvrđivanje pouzdanosti subskala srpske verzije APS-R-a. Korišćenjem ekspolarativne faktorske analize, uz primenu paralelne analize i Hull postupka uspešno je potvrđena originalna faktorska struktura upitnika. Psihometrijska analiza pokazala je da su sve subskale adaptiranog upitnika visoko pouzdane. U diskusiji ovog rada izvršena je detaljna analiza karakteristika adaptivnih podvrsta perfekcionizma (dimenzije visoki standardi i urednost) kao i dimenzije koja operacionalizuje maladaptivnu formu perfekcionizma (diskrepanca). Opisani su do sada istraživani korelati podvrsta perfekcionizma poput depresije, anksioznosti, akademskog uspeha i bazičnih osobina ličnosti. U zaključku su predložene moguće buduće dopune upitnika.
Rethinking the Technology Platform through Equitable Quality Curriculum for Empowering the Marginalised Women in Education
Authors: Lumadi Mutendwahothe Walter
Published: January 2018

This study was carried out to explore the impact of understanding the technology platform through equitable education. The technology space; through quality education; is a tool which empowers the marginalised women, with employable skills for better representation in higher education curriculum. A mixed method approach was employed in the study. A sample of three universities was drawn from a population of eight registered State universities in Cameroon. The following research instruments were used as a means to collect data; interviews, questionnaire and document analysis. The data collected was presented and analyzed using, percentages, frequencies, the Pearson Moment Correlation and the Chi-Square (X2) statistical test of independence. It became evident from the findings that the operations of women who did not understand the technology platform left much to be desired because they lacked employable skills. Moreover, they did not significantly impact on the growth of Cameroonian economy due to the numerous operational challenges faced by them over the years. Furthermore, it was also observed that a weak positive relationship existed between public policy support and women entrepreneurs in the country. This implies that, government initiatives and other support services have not assisted them surmount the inhibiting operational challenges. In order to help the unskilled women overcome their operational hardships, it is strongly recommended that among others, the following issues should be in place; relationship between understanding the technological space and female employability skills, capacity building initiatives on equitable quality education for all, provision of effective and realistic support services for marginalised women, promoting of gender neutral environment in all policy measures to help empowered women impact significantly on Cameroonian economic growth and stability.
A critical analysis of the learners’ constitutional rights to basic education in South Africa
Authors: Mestry Raj
Published: January 2018

Globally, several countries have been proposing to make primary education compulsory and freely available to all. Although there has been steady growth in learner enrolment in South African public schools since 1994, the socio-economic status of parents, racial and religious discrimination, high cost of school fees and schools’ language policies have prevented poor learners from accessing basic education, especially in public schools located within affluent areas. This paper critically examines legislation and policies relating to children’s constitutional rights to basic education. The government’s mandate to redress past injustices and concentrate on social justice and equity in public education is hampered by the failure of many schools tocorrectly interpret or consistently apply legislation and regulations relating to learner admissions. It has been found that the admission policies drawn up by school governing bodies (SGB)
covertly prevent poor learners from enrolling at affluent schools. Although school admissions have been contested in various court cases, governing bodies of some affluent public schools continue to practise unfairness in opening its doors to all children. To ensure that social justice and equity prevail in school education, the Department of Education should revise policies or amend existing legislation encouraging SGBs to provide learner access without any prejudice.
Quanto à prática (universitária) da teoria da crítica
Authors: Morgenroth Claas
Published: January 2018

Que sentido há em se considerar o presente à luz da filosofia? O que nos leva à crença de que a leitura dos textos nos tornará capaz de perceber melhor a beleza e o horror do mundo, para então mudá-lo? Theodor W. Adorno e Michel Foucault se empenharam, ao longo da suas vidas, em determinar a palavra e a ação, a teoria e a prática como atitudes políticas e acadêmicas. Além das diferenças entre a Teoria Crítica e o Pós-estruturalismo, ambos se reúnem em torno do texto de Immanuel Kant: O que é o Iluminismo?, o qual, no sentido da verdade como parrhesia, se tornará crucial tanto para a aula de Adorno sobre A Crítica da Razão Pura (1959), quanto para Le gouvernement de soi et des autres, de Foucault.
Deleuze, Benjamin: uma travessia em Kafka
Authors: Teschke Henning
Published: January 2018

Os caminhos do pensamento seguidos por Walter Benjamin e Gilles Deleuze se entrecruzam em Kafka. Nem psicológico, nem teológico, nem filológico, nem senhoril, qual poderia ser então a abordagem positiva desta matéria cujo efeito visível parece impossibilitar toda afirmação? Com o intuito de apresentar um Kafka diferente, pois refratário a qualquer exegese negativa, este texto transforma a assimetria aparentemente fundamental das posições benjaminianas e deleuzianas em um confronto quádruplo que ressalta suas inesperadas afinidades. Assim, por meio da linguagem, das metamorfoses, da vergonha e do humor se realiza uma relação múltipla que desloca a compreensão de Deleuze, de Benjamin e de Kafka. O reverso desta transgressão é uma mobilidade que admite, todavia, as suas próprias regras. A filosofia e a literatura são solicitadas juntas para a redefinição de suas apostas perante um autor rico demais para obedecer aos estereótipos de qualquer interpretação dualista.
Notre Dame de Paris, Romance Dramático?
Authors: Cano Jefferson
Published: January 2018

Este artigo analisa Notre Dame de Paris, romance de Victor Hugo publicado em 1831, explorando o significado da obra em relação com os debates que tiveram lugar ao longo da década de 1820. A emergência de uma geração romântica naquele momento e sua necessidade de se opor à arte clássica tornaram possível a formulação de novas categorias e práticas culturais, mas também forneceram os limites (tanto no que se refere aos temas quanto à retórica) do debate literário. Neste artigo procura-se mostrar que a experiência vivida por Victor Hugo na década de 1820 seria a base que lhe permitiria redefinir não apenas o drama, mas o próprio romance.
Nuno e a linguagem das coisas abandonadas
Authors: Souza Ricardo Pinto de , Trocoli Flavia
Published: January 2018

Gostaríamos de ressaltar o quanto as ficções participam de uma estrutura de verdade, o quanto o discurso que constrói a verdade reflete – especula – o seu antípoda de uma forma que não é propriamente crítica. No fundo, talvez esta seja uma forma de dizer que tanto ciência quanto literatura se constróem através de linguagem, e que ambas estão necessariamente atadas à dimensão do simbólico, à necessidade de mediação, de duplos e de fantasmas que afastam o grande e insuportável real, e assim criam a possibilidade de registrá-lo e referi-lo. A literatura, talvez, e a literatura de Nuno Ramos, certamente, diferentemente da ciência mostra o efeito da barra que, separando significante e significado, enunciação e enunciado, faz com que todas as junções se tornem precárias, provisórias, díspares em sua unidade estilhaçada.
Moreira, Paulo. Pasini, Leandro. Modernismo localista das Américas: os contos de Faulkner, Guimarães Rosa e Rulfo
Authors: Zouvi Aline
Published: January 2018

Modernismo localista das Américas: os contos de Faulkner, Guimarães Rosa e Rulfo é um trabalho resultante da tese de doutorado de Paulo Moreira, concluída na Universidade da Califórnia, Santa Bárbara, em 2007. Publicada em livro em 2012 pela editora da UFMG, a obra promete aos estudiosos da forma conto – ou ficção curta, como também é denominada – uma nova abordagem do estudo do conto, ao propor a sua visão não de modo isolado, mas de modo que permita novas interpretações. Moreira introduz o livro sugerindo que a leitura do conto como unidade isolada e autossuficiente “não é a única estratégia possível” – sendo o olhar sobre o conjunto de contos, portanto, um condutor para “novas possibilidades críticas”. Sua proposta, tal como ele a descreve em sua introdução ao livro, é promover a “discussão das possibilidades e implicações de uma hermenêutica do conto, de uma redefinição do modernismo baseada num estudo comparativo do termo”. Para tanto, Moreira faz uso de um corpus de 15 contos publicados entre 1930 e 1960 por William Faulkner, João Guimarães Rosa e Juan Rulfo, buscando, em suas análises, “um olhar renovado sobre uma ficção atenta às particularidades do local” – o que Moreira denomina como localista.
Não ter posição marcada: Ana C. nos anos 70
Authors: Di Leone Luciana
Published: January 2018

Percorrendo a historiografia literária das últimas décadas, sabemos que a geração de poetas que começara a produzir nos primeiros anos da década de 70, sob diferentes nomes (geração mimeógrafo, geração marginal) tem sido abundantemente estudada. Mas são dois os textos ainda paradigmáticos: o prefácio à antologia 26 poetas hoje de Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda (1976), e Retrato de época (1981) de Carlos Alberto Messeder Pereira. Este texto, não pretende traçar um retrato - nem um ‘outro retrato’ - da época, mas re-visitar essas leituras fundadoras, buscando analisar o lugar (singular, porém não excepcional, como costuma apontar-se) que Ana Cristina Cesar procurou nesse campo literário, que passava no momento em que ela começa a escrever por uma forte redefinição, em um contexto político de gradual distensão. Isto implica levar em conta um dado “objetivo” e particular poucas vezes destacado: ela começara a publicar seus artigos no final de 1975 e poemas em 1976, cinco anos após as primeiras expressões da poesia dita marginal, mas simultaneamente às primeiras publicações desses poetas por grandes editoras.
O leite que a vaca não prometeu: uma interpretação de Aletria e hermenêutica de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Bueno Giselle
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar o sentido do humor de “Aletria e hermenêutica”, primeiro prefácio de Tutaméia: terceiras estórias de Guimarães Rosa, por meio de uma abordagem imanente e intratextual. Apresenta-se, por conseguinte, uma interpretação do conceito-chave de “anedota de abstração”, de modo a refletir-se sobre algumas anedotas e, principalmente, sobre o arranjo retórico do prefácio, ao mesmo tempo chistoso e sublime.

An Emergent Betrayal
Authors: Willford Andrew C. , Nagarajan S.
Published: January 2018

This chapter analyzes the transformation of the plantation industry in Malaysia's commercial heartland, primarily in the state of Selangor, to understand how the bureaucratization of ethnic entitlement affected the politics of development—which in turn had economic and symbolic consequences for Tamil communities experiencing displacement. Development politics have brought about a dramatic demographic shift in the ethnic composition of Malaysia's industrial heartland. This was the intended goal all along. To develop the nation's core identity, politically constructed around Malay ethnicity and Islam, the two being increasingly synonymous, it was argued that Malays had to be united and strong—particularly at the center. In addition to reforming and thereby policing Malay identity, incentives and privileges created a culture of privilege and increasing self-rationalization of these purported entitlements.
Introduction
Authors: Kim Charles R.
Published: January 2018

After the Korean War, wholesome modernization and the student vanguard were central to South Korea’s postcolonial discourse on how (South) Koreans should move beyond the colonial era and the postwar crisis. Built upon pre-1945 nationalist discourse, this gendered pair of discursive schemas was specifically geared to producing female and male youth protagonists for the collective enterprise of nation building and development. This book explores the postwar dissemination of the wholesome and vanguard schemas and documents their usages in the landmark of the April 19th Revolution (1960) and the earliest phases of Park Chung Hee’s rule (1961-1979). The two schemas remained influential in national politics and society up through the 1980s. The introduction also discusses South Korea’s place in the global sixties.
Wholesome Modernization
Authors: Kim Charles R.
Published: January 2018

The postwar crisis encompassed a cultural crisis wrought by wartime devastation and the rapid influx of Euro-American things and ways. Among mainstream intellectuals, wholesome modernization was the preferred approach for overcoming this cultural crisis. This discursive schema was built upon the premise that South Koreans should adhere to a hybrid vision of culture that preserved the core elements of indigenous tradition, while incorporating selected, modernizing aspects of Euro-American culture. This chapter explores the women’s magazine Yŏwŏn alongside the popular films The Love Marriage (Chayu kyŏrhon, 1958) and A Female Boss (Yŏsajang, 1959) in order to demonstrate that this hybrid culture vision deliberately promoted the maintenance of male privilege for the youth generation. The cultural conservatism of wholesome modernization was multiply determined by historical and contemporary influences.
Permissible Criticism
Authors: Kim Charles R.
Published: January 2018

This chapter explores the space for permissible criticism under the authoritarian rule of Syngman Rhee and the Liberal Party. While constraints on public expression certainly did exist, they were by no means insurmountable. Through an examination of Sasanggye and other monthlies, the chapter reveals the common tactics that intellectuals used to express critical viewpoints on the regime, postwar politics and society, and the South Korean political settlement. Remaining within the limits of authorized liberal nationalism, cautious writers took pains to obfuscate their objects of criticism and blunt their political grievances by incorporating them into social-science explanations and encoding them into the nation narrative. The circulation of critical, liberal nationalist discourse in the national media enabled the mounting of public disaffection for the corrupt and ineffectual Rhee-LP regime, and thereby set the stage for April 19th.
4.19 as Authorized Protest
Authors: Kim Charles R.
Published: January 2018

April 19th erupted in response to the corruption, misgovernment, and electoral violations of the Syngman Rhee regime. This chapter documents the ways in which students utilized school-based resources and the script for extraordinary vanguard action in staging the surprising protests of February, March, and April 1960. The vanguard schema, as a cornerstone of South Korea’s postcolonial discourse, furnished student demonstrators with nation-centered legitimacy that was bolstered by the victimization of high school student Kim Chuyŏl. Confirmation that Kim had been killed in the brutal police suppression of an early protest sparked the final – and most intense – round of student demonstrations in mid-April, including the massive protest in Seoul on April 19. The fierce public outcry forced Syngman Rhee to resign from office on April 27. By way of closing, this chapter reveals that actions and interpretations of April 19th reproduced the core ideological division between authorized liberal nationalism and unauthorized communism.
Making Porous and Expansive Boundaries
Authors: Getz Trevor R.
Published: January 2018

This chapter explores the boundaries of world history and Jerry Bentley’s role as a guardian of those boundaries and of their porosity. Drawing on Bentley’s statements and choices as editor of the Journal of World History, the author asks questions about the field’s historical relationships to microhistories, to heritage production and public displays of history, and to community and public “knowers” of the past. In conclusion, the author proposes several experiments designed to allow world historians to assess the costs and advantages of lowering the boundaries of the field.
Teaching World History in a Swirl of Standards
Authors: Wiesner-Hanks Merry E.
Published: January 2018

Standards-based education reform efforts that began in the 1990s resulted in social studies standards by grade level in every single state, stretching from kindergarten to grade 12. All of these standards single out history as a separate subject or strand, and many include world history as a subset within history as a whole. These standards are highly variable, idiosyncratic, and sometimes error-ridden, and they have been the source of enormous controversy. Some world history standards are completely skills-based, with only one sentence about content, and many are very Eurocentric, especially in the lists of individuals and events students should know. Recent efforts to develop better standards, such as the C3 Framework, have become embroiled in the controversy over Common Core, but because high-stakes testing is often based on state standards, world historians should get involved in improving them, and advocate for better world history teaching.
Catholics and Anti-Catholicism in Choson Korea
Authors: Baker Don , Rausch Franklin
Published: January 2018

A study of Korea’s first significant encounter with Western civilization, this work analyzes how Koreans reacted to Catholicism imported from China at the end of the 18th century. It explores the reason most Koreans, especially Confucian scholars and government officials, reacted negatively to Catholic ideas and practices, going so far as to launch an official persecution of Catholics that cost thousands of lives. To render visible the philosophical background to the anti-Catholic movement, this work includes a complete translation of an anti-Catholic essay written before the persecution began. However, it also examines those Koreans, many of whom were also Confucian scholars, who adopted Catholic beliefs and practices even before there were missionaries on the Korean peninsula. To aid in that investigation, it includes an annotated translation of the Silk Letter of Hwang Sayŏng, a first-person account of the persecution of 1801 relating why some Koreans became Catholics, why some later apostatized, and why others remained faithful to their new faith through torture and execution. In addition, it includes a discussion of Korea attitudes toward their nation and its place in the international order before the emergence of modern nationalism.
Shipped but Not Sold
Authors: Um Nancy
Published: January 2018

In the early decades of the eighteenth century, Yemen hosted a lively community of merchants that came to the southern Arabian Peninsula from the east and the west, seeking, among other products, coffee, at a time when this new social habit was on the rise. Shipped but not Sold argues that many of the diverse goods that these merchants carried, bought, and sold at the port, also played ceremonial, social, and utilitarian roles in this intensely commercial society that was oriented toward the Indian Ocean. Including sumptuous foreign textiles and robes, Arabian horses, porcelain vessels, spices, aromatics, and Yemeni coffee, these items were offered, displayed, exchanged, consumed, or utilized by major merchants in a number of socially exclusive practices that affirmed their identity and status, but also sustained the livelihood of their business ventures. These traders invested these objects with layers of social meaning through a number of repetitive ceremonial exercises and observances, in addition to their everyday protocols of the trade. This study looks at what happened to these local and imported commodities that were diverted from the marketplace to be used for a set of directives that were seemingly quite non-transactional.
Rites of Entry at the Maritime Threshold
Authors: Um Nancy
Published: January 2018

This chapter delves into the ceremonial receptions that the local administration of the port of Mocha staged to welcome high-profile merchants when they arrived in the harbor from their extended sea journeys. The ceremonies involved drummers, musicians, flags, and parades of decorated horses as well as the appearance of the city’s notables splendidly dressed in imported textiles to welcome new arrivals at Mocha’s jetty. It argues that these welcome rituals were not just empty, extravagant displays of pomp. Rather, they constituted a requisite stage of commercial initiation when the local maritime administration, in addition to other merchants, vetted and sized up new arrivals. Material objects, such as flags, sumptuous robes, Arabian horses, various items of reception, and architectural spaces, played a key role in this process of selection and the conferral of local approval.
“He is Not a Samoan” (1927)
Authors: O'Brien Patricia
Published: January 2018

This chapter examines the ongoing fallout from the rise of the Mau in Sāmoa and New Zealand. One major development was the founding of the Mau newspaper, the Samoa Guardian in 1927 and how this publication was intended to be mouthpiece for the movement and combat the extensive conservative press coverage that supported the government. It also focuses upon the debates in the New Zealand parliament that entwined the Sāmoan present with the Māori past, especially as it connected the non-violent community of Parihaka with the Sāmoan Mau. It also outlines the main parliamentary actors, especially Labour Leader Harry Holland and Sir Māui Pōmare, both who impacted this history in considerable ways. These debates articulated many ideas about British Empire, its past and how it could operate in the new conditions of the 1920s. The discussion also centered on the history of exile and how it had been used in numerous contexts. The chapter also delves into the little known but highly significant confidential parliamentary inquiry – the Joint Samoan Petition Inquiry Committee – which held in camera hearings where Ta’isi was virtually the sole witness. This inquiry preceded a Royal Commission to be held in Sāmoa and the chapter shows how the petition inquiry was a ploy to keep Ta’isi and his legal team out of Sāmoa so they could have little influence on the more public royal commission that was orchestrated by General Richardson.
Breaking Mr. Nelson in the Great Depression (1931–1932)
Authors: O'Brien Patricia
Published: January 2018

After the Black Saturday massacre and the limited repercussions for the New Zealand government as a result, the government stepped up its assault on Ta’isi who was outside the reach of new draconian laws in Sāmoa that criminalized almost every aspect of life and cultural practice. Rather than pursue Ta’isi, they pursued his firm that was put on trial for aiding and abetting a seditious organization. The chapter investigates the course of events around this trial and the impact it had on Ta’isi and his company that was already suffering enormously due to the Great Depression. It also explores attempts to prevent Ta’isi’s return to Sāmoa, the threat of a repetition of the Black Saturday massacre if he did return and the drastic impact this situation had on his family.
Genshin's Ojōyōshū and the Construction of Pure Land Discourse in Heian Japan
Authors: Rhodes Robert F.
Published: January 2018

The Ōjōyōshū, written by the Heian period Tendai monk Genshin (942-1017), played a pivotal role in establishing Pure Land Buddhism in Japan. This book is a study of the central teachings of the Ōjōyōshū. Furthermore, in order to situate this text in its historical background, a substantial portion of the volume is taken up with discussions of the development of Pure Land Buddhism before Genshin’s time and to Genshin’s event-filled life. Part One provides a brief survey of Pure Land Buddhism in India and China and then treats how it developed in Japan before Genshin’s time. Part Two focuses on the main events of Genshin’s life. Part Three turns to two main issues taken up in the Ōjōyōshū: its Pure Land cosmology and its nenbutsu teaching. In his description of the Pure Land cosmology, Genshin describes, in often graphic detail, the suffering inherent in the six realms of transmigration, including hell, and urges his readers to seek birth in Amida Buddha’s Pure Land, a realm beyond suffering. Furthermore, in the central portion of the Ōjōyōshū, Genshin presents a systematic analysis of the nenbutsu, or the practice of focusing one’s mind on Amida, which is the central practice for attaining birth in the Pure Land.
Genshin’s Later Years
Authors: Rhodes Robert F.
Published: January 2018

This chapter recounts Genshin’s life from the final decade of the 900s until his death in 1017. During these years he wrote several major works on Buddhist thought, including the Daijō tai kushashō and the Ichijō yōketsu. He also took part in the creation of several religious associations on Mt. Hiei, such as the Mukaekō of the Kedai’in cloister and the Shakakō of the Ryōzen’in cloister.
Conclusion
Authors: Rhodes Robert F.
Published: January 2018

By way of conclusion, this chapter takes up two major reasons why the Ōjōyōshū proved extremely influential. The first is because it showed how people can gain enlightenment during an age in which it was believed that the spiritual capacities of human beings had degenerated to the point where it is virtually impossible to attain buddhahood. The second reason for its influence is because it presents a comprehensive and systematic typology of the nenbutsu.

Recognizing that understanding culture, society and history is necessary to train future physicians who will work to improve the health of Native Hawaiians and all underserved communities in Hawai'i, our curriculum focuses on self-awareness, traditional healing techniques, effective communication and the social and cultural determinants of health. We expect our students to understand the roots of disparities in health and health care, including cultural historical trauma and colonization. Close consultation with community and cultural experts working with a multidisciplinary teaching team were key to the development of this curriculum, which utilizes didactics, small groups, workshops, simulated patients, service learning, community classrooms and cultural immersion weekends to teach the Native Hawaiian holistic view of wellness to our medical students.
Community and Research Together

Hawaiians have faced historical and cultural traumas leading to modern day inequities in the social, economic and political realms. These inequities contribute to poor health status that many Native Hawaiians experience. Two groups have attempted to improve these health outcomes, Academic researchers and the Native Hawaiian community. However, often times the approaches and goals of these two groups are at odds. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is an approach that seeks to combine community goals, action, and priorities with those of academic research. This chapter illustrates the evolution of CBPR in Hawai‘i, and its meaningful principles that have been effective for both the Native Hawaiian and research communities in their promotion of health.
Introduction
Authors: Neale Timothy
Published: January 2018

The introduction establishes the terms of reference for the book, by first explaining the context of the Wild Rivers Act and land rights in Australia before then examining the history of concepts of ‘the wild’ and wilderness. As this shows, ‘the wild’ has long been a concept open to both positive and negative evaluations, evaluations that have frequently flipped in the service of power and government. The introduction closes with a summary of the book’s arguments and of the chapters that follow.
Rearticulating Indigeneity after Mabo
Authors: Neale Timothy
Published: January 2018

The split between some traditional owners and the Northern Australia’s ostensible ‘leaders’ was one of the most remarkable features of the Actcontroversy. Following Beckett’s observation that Indigenous groups ‘cannot be understood apart from their relationship with the state,’ this chapter analyzes the two dominant forms of contemporary political authority – the traditional owner and the executive advocate – as articulated in relation to changing government policies and one another. Given the fundamental inconsistency between the executive advocate and the traditional owner as forms of Indigenous political authority, how have these positions been articulated together in Northern Australia after the foundational 1992 Mabo decision? This chapter argues that as Indigenous people have been ‘recognized’ by the state these two figures have negotiated specific balances between engaging with state power and symbolic or rhetorical performances of differences; balances best understood as a political dynamic between legibility and illegibility.
Afterword
Authors: Neale Timothy
Published: January 2018

The afterword reflects on the events that followed the end of the controversy in 2012-2013, considering how these events retrospectively inform the issues addressed in this book. These events include, for example, the election of Tony Abbott as, in his own words, a ‘Prime Minister for Indigenous Affairs’ and the downturn in the mining sector in Australia. As this afterword shows, several of the major non-Indigenous figures that had campaigned against the Wild Rivers Act soon abandoned their promises to Indigenous people. Relations between Indigenous representatives, the state, and the private sector are characterised, this afterword suggests, by an instrumentality that undermines any potential for significant change.

Shared Decision-Making for Nursing Practice: An Integrative Review
Authors: Truglio-Londrigan Marie , Slyer Jason T.
Published: January 2018

Background:

Shared decision-making has received national and international interest by providers, educators, researchers, and policy makers. The literature on shared decision-making is extensive, dealing with the individual components of shared decision-making rather than a comprehensive process. This view of shared decision-making leaves healthcare providers to wonder how to integrate shared decision-making into practice.

Objective:

To understand shared decision-making as a comprehensive process from the perspective of the patient and provider in all healthcare settings.

Methods:

An integrative review was conducted applying a systematic approach involving a literature search, data evaluation, and data analysis. The search included articles from PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PsycINFO from 1970 through 2016. Articles included quantitative experimental and non-experimental designs, qualitative, and theoretical articles about shared decision-making between all healthcare providers and patients in all healthcare settings.

Results:

Fifty-two papers were included in this integrative review. Three categories emerged from the synthesis: (a) communication/ relationship building; (b) working towards a shared decision; and (c) action for shared decision-making. Each major theme contained sub-themes represented in the proposed visual representation for shared decision-making.

Conclusion:

A comprehensive understanding of shared decision-making between the nurse and the patient was identified. A visual representation offers a guide that depicts shared decision-making as a process taking place during a healthcare encounter with implications for the continuation of shared decisions over time offering patients an opportunity to return to the nurse for reconsiderations of past shared decisions.

Authors: Muñoz Robles Carlos Alfonso , Santana Arias Rogelio
Published: January 2018

Los incendios forestales forman parte fundamental de los procesos para la conformación y el mantenimiento de los ecosistemas terrestres. La manera en que los incendios se manifiestan espacialmente y temporalmente es de vital importancia para entender su dinámica en el paisaje. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar los patrones espaciales de los puntos de calor e identificar los factores ambientales y de origen humano que influyen en su densidad en la Sierra Madre Oriental de San Luis Potosí en el periodo 2000-2012. Se empleó la función no-homogénea derivada de la función K de Ripley para caracterizar los patrones espaciales de los puntos de calor (propiedad de segundo orden). Para identificar las variables ambientales y antropogénicas que más influyen en ocurrencia de puntos de calor, se estimó la función de densidad kernel (propiedad de primer orden) y se usó como variable de respuesta continua para generar árboles de regresión. Se obtuvo evidencia de patrones espaciales agrupados, aleatorios y regulares en diferentes escalas. La precipitación pluvial, la temperatura diurna, la vegetación y el uso del suelo, la altitud, la distancia a asentamientos humanos y a terracerías tuvieron una alta influencia en la densidad de puntos de calor. Los resultados pueden ayudar al entendimiento de la dinámica de incendios forestales y pueden ser utilizados para estudios de peligro de incendios mediante la aplicación de los umbrales detectados para las variables explicativas.
EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING VALUE ADDITION METRICS – A SELECT STUDY OF 'IT' COMPANIES IN INDIA
Authors: PRATAP S. , REVATHY J.
Published: January 2018

In today’s competitive world, value and wealth creation for shareholders are among the most important goals of businesses. For the sake of achieving his goals, the investor needs some instruments in order to measure the potential value of each investment opportunity. It is clear that these instruments are not capable of predicting the exact future, they just provide some piece of information and advice that help the investor in the decisions he makes. Among these criteria, the most common types are Return on Investment (ROI) and Earnings per Share (EPS). Despite the numerous applications of these instruments, theoretically, they are not related with shareholders’ value or wealth creation. In recent years, the modern evaluation techniques based on economic theories such as Economic Value Added (EVA), Market Value Added (MVA) and Shareholder Value Added (SVA) replace the accounting data-based criteria and have widely drawn the attentions. These criteria follow the performance assessment with regard to the changes in the value and alongside maximizing the long term shareholder returns. In this research paper, one of the most important criteria; i.e. Shareholder Value Added (SVA), is investigated from several viewpoints.
Effect of Peripheral Defocus on Axial Eye Growth and Modulation of Refractive Error in Hyperopes: Protocol for a Nonrandomized Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Beasley Ian G , Davies Leon N , Logan Nicola S
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND

Hyperopia occurs due to insufficient ocular growth and a failure to emmetropize in childhood. In anisohyperopia, it is unclear why one eye may remain hyperopic while the fellow eye grows toward an emmetropic state. Animal studies have shown that manipulating peripheral defocus through optical means while simultaneously providing correct axial focus can either discourage or encourage axial eye growth to effectively treat myopia or hyperopia, respectively. Myopia progression and axial eye growth can be significantly reduced in children and adolescents through the use of multifocal contact lenses. These contact lenses correct distance central myopia while simultaneously imposing relative peripheral myopic defocus. The effect of correcting distance central hyperopia while simultaneously imposing relative peripheral hyperopic defocus is yet to be elucidated in humans.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study is to understand the natural progression of axial eye growth and refractive error in hyperopes and anisohyperopes and to establish whether axial eye growth and refractive error can be modified using multifocal contact lenses in hyperopes and anisohyperopes.

METHODS

There are 3 elements to the program of research. First, the natural progression of axial eye growth and refractive error will be measured in spectacle-wearing hyperopic and anisohyperopic subjects aged between 5 and <20 years. In other words, the natural growth of the eye will be followed without any intervention. Second, as a paired-eye control study, anisohyperopes aged between 8 and <16 years will be fitted with a center-near multifocal design contact lens in their more hyperopic eye and a single-vision contact lens in the fellow eye if required. The progression of axial eye growth and refractive error will be measured and compared. Third, subjects aged between 8 and <16 years with similar levels of hyperopia in each eye will be fitted with center-near multifocal design contact lenses in each eye; the progression of axial eye growth and refractive error in these subjects will be measured and compared with those of subjects in the natural progression study.

RESULTS

Recruitment commenced on 6 June 2016 and was completed on 8 April 2017. We estimate the data collection to be completed by April 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

This trial will establish whether axial eye growth can be accelerated in children with hyperopia by imposing relative peripheral hyperopic defocus using center-near multifocal contact lenses.
