The Role of Consciousness Theories in Advancing Artificial Intelligence -  Conceptual Bridges
Creators: name: Srikanth Kamatala

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have reignited discussions surrounding consciousness and its theoretical foundations, prompting scholars to examine whether and how current AI systems might achieve forms of awareness or understanding. This review critically explores leading consciousness theories—such as Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and Higher-Order Thought (HOT)—to identify specific insights that may inform the next generation of AI design. By assessing the conceptual overlap between these scientific and philosophical perspectives, we high- light both the opportunities and limitations of applying them to AI, focusing on emergent properties, explainability, and potential tests for machine consciousness. Moreover, we introduce a novel framework for constructing “conceptual bridges” that connect consciousness research to practical AI development, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and computer science. Our analysis illuminates the ethical and technical implications of AI systems approaching consciousness-like states. Ultimately, this review seeks to refine our understanding of the role consciousness theories may play in guiding AI’s future trajectory and ethical stewardship.

Nation-Building and the Language Tetralemma. Andre Borgerhoff's Competitive Nation-Building in Timor-Leste
Creators: name: Cumes, Guy
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In Competitive Nation-Building in Timor-Leste Andre Borgerhoff examines Timor-Leste in the period 2002–2007 during which political and social division brought the new state to near collapse. He argues that the crisis of this period was associated with the inherently contested nature of nation-building, and this was exemplified by what he identifies as the language tetralemma. His work builds upon literature which argues that nation building, language policy and national identity are fundamental factors which are closely associated with ongoing violence in post-conflict states. This review examines Borgerhoff’s contribution to this literature. It commences with a historical and social overview of the crisis in Timor-Leste and the theoretical context in which it was played out. It then addresses Borgerhoff’s critique of the cause of dissent in Timor-Leste and demonstrates how his work is a significant scholarly contribution to this field of research. The paper concludes by arguing that language policy is a core component of nation-building in post-conflict states and its implementation is a critical element in the establishment of a pluralist democracy.

Soziales Kapital und Distinktion in der Wohnungswahl deutscher Finanzmanager in Singapur
Creators: name: Meier, Lars
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical ideas, this article analyses the practices of expatriatefinance managers in choosing residences in Singapore. The focus is on the relevance of specific images of urban quarters and of managers’ experiences in urban locations. Both images and experiences are considered to be related to a manager’s position in a social field. Managers have a specific social capital that is expressed by their inclusion into local expatriate networks and their performing practices of distinction. The article is based on empirical data collected in interviews and on observations.

Creators: name: Iyidobi, Jonathan Chijindu
Publisher: name: SADI JOURNALS
Year: 2025
Subjects: Database, Mysql-Based, Online, Reporting, System

description: In this paper, a Mysql-based database was developed for the implementation of an online fault reporting system for a utility company. The Ikeja zone Power Holding Company of Nigeria, now Ikeja Electric Company was used as the case study utility company. A use case diagram was used to depict major requirements of the system and their roles in the system being created. An activity diagram showed the direction of flow of information in the database while an entity relation diagram depicted the relationship between the key tables that formed the database. The database tables resulted from a progressive normalization of the unnormalized table from first normal form to third normal form tables. The designed database was implemented in Mysql platform. Result of test conducted on the system showed that the developed database is able to accept inputted data, store accepted data in the right tables and allow retrieval of the data with the correct queries. In conclusion, the developed system was found to be functional, effective and with the ability to support a dynamic online fault reporting system. It is recommended that future researchers in this area should consider equipping the database with security features that will guarantee the integrity of the data it is holding

Die indische Demokratie und ihr Konflikt mit den Naxaliten. Ein Kampf gegen die eigenen Prinzipien?
Creators: name: Sonntag, Julia
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Though known as the biggest democracy in the world, India is constantly afflicted by violent internal conflicts. The struggle with the Maoist Naxalite movement has become the most pressing of these internal problems in recent years. Major parts of the scientific research on internal conflict and revolutionary movements focus on the reasons, characteristics and consequences of this movement’s activities for the democratic system. This article tries to shift the perspective to the impact of antirevolutionary government measures on the democratic quality of a state. The underlying assumption is that these government measures often have unintended consequences for the quality of democracy, which might lead to an erosion of the legitimacy of the state in the eyes of the rebels and their sympathizers, thereby serving to escalate the conflict. To assess these negative effects three categories of antirevolutionary governance measures are introduced: measures of coercion, political inclusion and economic inclusion. Subsequently, their respective influence on the three dimensions of democratic quality suggested by Diamond and Morlino is examined in the specific case of the anti-Naxalite activities of the Indian government.

The Sangha and Political Acts: Secularization in a Theravada Buddhist Society
Creators: name: Tosa, Keiko
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The secularization thesis has been influential in social thought. Most Western and some Asian countries including Japan, seem to confirm this thesis. However, in most Southeast Asian countries religion remains important. In this paper, I focus on the monk demonstrations in Myanmar in 2007. First, I show the contradictions in the confrontation between religious ideals and the institutionalization of sangha (the monastic community of ordained monks and novices) in the modern political system. Then I discuss the institutionalization undertaken to unify the sangha and the relationship between sangha institutions and legal system and the secular world. After this contextualization, I examine the monk demonstrations as part of a social movement. This involves exploring the kinds of networks used by the monks and the levels at which the military government intervened in the movement. Finally, I consider the response of Japanese Buddhist networks, including some humanitarian associations, and the effect of the monk demonstrations on wider networks of Buddhists.

Neologisms in Japanese and Vietnamese Focusing on New Chinese-based Vocabulary
Creators: name: Junichi, Iwatsuki
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In modern East Asia, including Vietnam and Japan, many Chinese-based neologisms combining two Chinese characters have been coined to indicate new scientific and abstract concepts derived from the West. Even today, these new terms, both national and regional, continue to be used throughout East Asia. Previously, such a largescale reconstruction of vocabulary without loanwords was rare. For the last 30 years, many Japanese, Chinese and, recently, Korean scholars have investigated this phenomenon, especially the role of Japanese intellectuals in the invention of several important terms. In this article, I will briefly introduce the process of coining these neologisms, in particular focusing on Vietnam, to which few outside scholars have referred. I will concentrate on the diversity rather than the parallelism within this phenomenon.

Subjects: Liquidity Management, Sight Deposits, Modeling, Customers' Behaviors, Moroccan Commercial Banks, Selvaggio Model

description: The bank customers’ behaviors are seen to be is an essential issue regarding asset liability management banking. In addition, based on the latest the Basel Committee’s recommendations, it seems to be considered a tool of a better risk management. The present paper proposesa modeling regarding the bank customers’ behaviors where it attempts to see, more specifically, for customer deposits among Moroccan commercial banks. The presented data of this study are presented based on the summary statements (balance sheets) for determining these deposits’ portions, stabled in function of time to be used by banks granting loans as well as minimizing the transformation risks and liquidity risks. This study concluded that the depositors businesseshave no visible financial behaviors towards their demand deposits based on the presented results. Such kind of conclusion can allow banks not to take into account factors regardingthe interest rates of short-terms as impacting the available current accounts’ volume.
Visions of Community: Japanese Language Spread in Japan, Taiwan and Korea
Creators: name: Heinrich, Patrick
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This paper discusses language policy behind the spread of Japanese among Japanese linguistic majorities and Japanese colonial subjects. The period discussed stretches from 1868, the year of the Meiji restoration, until 1945, when Japan withdrew from all its colonies. Policies in four polities are discussed: Ainu Mosir (Hokkaidō), the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and Korea. In Japan, modernization included aspects of colonialism and colonialist features of modernization. Hence, the policies for spreading Japanese are found to be similar, if not identical, but the policy effects differ. Japanese modernization and colonization are best discussed in connection with each other. This paper discusses the language repertoires that emerged as a consequence of Japanese language spread in the four polities studied, the limits of language policy and planning, and the limits of imagining communities on the basis of language. This allows for some general conclusions about Japan’s present-day problems with indigenous minorities and its Asian neighbours.

The Indonesian Eurasian Community and Japan

Year: 2017

description: This article deals with connections between the rise of Japan, Indonesian nationalism and the Eurasian community between 1900 and 1942. It shows how Dutch official and public assessments of Japan as an external threat differed over time. The same was true of Indonesian views of Japan. Eurasians were caught in the middle between Dutch conservatism on the one hand and Indonesian nationalism on the other. Different choices on this domestic issue also resulted in different positions towards Japanese expansionism. Therefore, in this period Indonesian and Japanese historical dynamics became entangled.

Challenges for a National Sustainability Strategy of India
Creators: name: Von Hauff, Michael
name: Chandran, Deepa
name: Saraswati, Lopamudra Ray
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the international community de-clared sustainable development to be the new guiding principle for the twenty-first century. This was followed in the late 1990s by a resolution that every country should develop a national sustainability strategy by the year 2002. This was to be updated in the following years (continuous development). It was clear that sustain-able development is a long range process for individual countries like India. This paper begins with a discussion of the general requirements to be addressed by a national sustainability strategy. It goes on to discuss the Indian national sustainabil-ity strategy as an example of how these can be properly integrated. In this regard, the fact must be taken into account that since 1991 the Indian economy – as measured by GDP – has been very successful. However, as a perform-ance measure, pure economic success is inadequate in the context of a national sus-tainability strategy. A true evaluation of India’s sustainability strategy demands that environmental and social indicators are also considered. Under this condition, India exhibits deficits that are evident on the basis of selected indicators, particularly in the area of environmental and social progress. This paper will analyze several se-lected indicators in support of this conclusion.

Customer retention in home Internet Service Provider (ISP) market: factors influencing brand loyalty
Creators: name: Thaichon, Paramaporn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between the home Internet users in southern Thailand, and the loyalty that these users have towards their service providers. It looks into addressing the factors that influence the brand loyalty intentions of the home Internet users in southern Thailand. The research for this thesis is based on the premise that brand personality, brand image and brand awareness is created either by direct company communication mix or indirect contact with the consumers - both of which influences the perception of consumer expectation while at the same time reinforcing brand trust. Exploratory research finds that, consumers will be satisfied with the brand if the brand can fulfil its promises and expectations that the consumers have of its brand and products. In return, high consumer satisfaction will augment the level of brand trust and brand value, eventually affecting brand loyalty. This thesis extends previous brand loyalty research, through comparing attributes that have in the past been associated with brand loyalty, and explores their application to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) market for home use in southern Thailand. Consequently, the main thrust of this thesis is to develop a framework that can be empirically tested to determine the factors that influence brand loyalty in the ISP market for home use in southern Thailand.
Haben die Taliban eine Bildungsstrategie?Zur Mikrobildungspolitik einer Aufstandsbewegung
Creators: name: Blumör, Rüdiger
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: After 9/11, the Taleban movement established itself again in Afghanistan, and the number of suicide attacks steadily increased. Schools became a battlefield for in-fluence between the state and insurgents. The paper explores the roots of militancy and violence against schools. As suicide attacks have become part of the Taleban’s military strategy, the education background of suicide bombers is examined. Recent studies allow a brief sketch of the mindset and attitudes of the Taleban movement towards education. At the same time, madrasas, religious education institutions, are linked to international terrorism. They are suspected of fostering fundamentalist views and training Taleban fighters. This has led to misconceptions about madrasa educa-tion in general and its role in Afghanistan in particular. The misconceptions about the role of madrasas in Afghanistan are analysed and the efforts of the Afghan Ministry of Education to reform Islamic education discussed. Even when the crisis over schools was at its height, negotiations between the communities and the local Taliban continued. It thus remains to be seen whether the reopening of schools indicates greater flexibility towards education on the part of the majority of the Taleban.

Fencing of the Durand Line and its Impact
Creators: name: Shah, Sayed Wiqar Ali
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: To avoid a direct clash, the boundaries between British India and Afghanistan were demarcated in 1893. The Afghan Amir renounced his claim to certain areas, which were permanently annexed to British India and the successive Afghan rulers recog-nised it as international frontier. However, on the eve of the partition of India, the Afghan Government demanded that its former territories should be handed back to Afghanistan. Since then it has been a contentious issue between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The purpose of the present research is to unravel and analyse the factors responsible for the demarcation of the Durand Line and the new dimensions of the whole scenario in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11 and the US invasion of Af-ghanistan in October 2001. Other issues dealt with include: (a) the ouster of the Taliban regime; (b) the regrouping of the Taliban and al Qaida in the tribal areas of Pakistan and their intrusion into Afghanistan; (c) the presence of Pakistani troops in the tribal territories and its repercussions; (d) the unchecked cross-border infiltration and its impact; and (e) the fencing of the Durand Line and the Afghan reaction.

The Changing Character of the Durand Line
Creators: name: Wagner, Christian
name: Khan, Amina
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The contentious status of the Durand Line between Afghanistan and Pakistan is a symbol of both the problems of state and nation-building and their conflict-prone relationship. First, the unresolved border of the Durand Line was a tool in the process of nation building by Afghan governments, whose demand until the 1970s for a “Greater Pashtunistan” challenged the territorial integrity of Pakistan. Second-ly, in the 1990s, the Durand Line acquired a regional dimension when the Pakistani military linked Afghanistan to its conflict with India over Kashmir. Finally, after 9/11 the Durand Line suddenly acquired a global dimension in the War on Terror. The solution for contested borders like the Durand Line does not lie in the continu-ation of confrontational policies as in the past, but in new strategies in order to foster cooperation. The pooling of sovereignty along the Durand Line was already being discussed in the 1930s and 1940s. Such concepts, which could include joint management of common cross-border issues, would be helpful in transforming the contested line into an area of cooperation rather than confrontation.

The Durand Line. The Afghan-Pakistani Border Region between Pashtunistan, Tribalistan and Talibanistan
Creators: name: Schetter, Conrad
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: While the borderland between Afghanistan and Pakistan has gained global significance since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it is too narrow an approach to view this region solely through the lens of the “war on terror”. To understand this border region, one has to take the complex web of conflicts into consideration. First, there is the ideological contest between militant Islamists and the West (Talibanistan), which dates back only to the last decade – even though the roots of this confrontation lie in the Afghan Wars that began in 1979. Second, there is the longstanding conflict between tribe and state (Tribalistan), which Afghanistan and Pakistan have tried to deal with in manifold ways in the past. Third, the situation along the border is coloured by the unsolved ethno-nationalist conflict between Islamabad and Kabul over the Pakhtunistan issue – the question of whether Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (former North West Frontier Province) is part of Pakistan or Afghanistan. This article argues that these three overlapping dimensions of the conflict can help outsiders to understand the logic of the local elites and movements and of the national and international actors and organizations.

The Origins of the Dispute over the Durand Line
Creators: name: Giunchi, Elisa
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The origins of the Durand Line are one of the most under-researched aspects of the border dispute. Unanswered questions include: Was the 1893 border agreement signed under duress, as Afghan authorities and Pashtun nationalists hold? If not, why did Amir Abdur Rahman sign it? Did Ghaffar Khan, the founder of the Pashtun nationalist movement Khudai Khitmatgar, seek an independent Pashtunistan, or was he merely advocating autonomy? Did the 1947 referendum legitimising the inclusion in Pakistan of Pashtun territories represent the will of the majority of the local population, as Pakistani authorities hold? In this paper I will address these questions on the basis of archival sources, memoirs and government documents. I will first look at the context and terms of the 1893 agreement; then analyse the emergence of Pashtun irredentist claims and Afghan demands that territories annexed to India in 1893 be allowed to decide their destiny; and, finally, I will address Ghaffar Khan’s attitude in the run-up to partition and in its immediate aftermath.

We develop a technique to calculate the equilibrium configuration of such a disk in the combined disk-halo potential, which is based on the method of Jog but accounts for the radial variation in both the halo potential and the disk ellipticity. This crucial ingredient results in qualitatively different behavior of the disk: the disk circularizes the potential at small radii, even for a reasonably low disk mass. This effect has important implications for proposals to reconcile cuspy halo density profiles with low surface brightness galaxy rotation curves using halo triaxiality. The disk ellipticities in our models are consistent with observational estimates based on two-dimensional velocity fields and isophotal axis ratios.

description: Antibacterial resistance is a major global health problem causing an increasing number of deaths worldwide. We are now observing bacterial resistance to the majority of available antibiotics. Blocking bacterial virulence without causing the death of bacteria exerts less evolutionary pressure for the selection of bacterial resistance and could lead to an effective antibacterial therapy. EcDsbA is an enzyme that facilitates an important pathway for the activity and stability of virulence determinants. This thesis reports the development of small molecule inhibitors of EcDsbA, which are hypothesised to show antivirulence effects.
Ancient Regions, New Fontier: The Prehistory of the Durand Line in Baluchistan
Creators: name: Rösel, Jakob
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The prehistory of the Durand Line is complicated, involving new forms of tribal al-legiance-building, tribal and localised state-building and, finally, regional empire-building. A new tribal as well as mercantile religion and civilisation, Islam, gave rise to new patterns of trade and a new crossroads and commercial centre: Kalat. With the decline of the Mughals a Kalat state based on a local dynasty and two tribal fed-erations emerged as a semi-independent state. The British Empire ultimately strength-ened and enlarged, balanced and controlled this tribal and regional state. Thanks to the British the Khan of Kalat controlled most of present-day Baluchistan. From the 1870s the construction of this imperial state served new geostrategic designs: the Khan of Kalat conceded control over the Bolan Pass as well as Quetta to the British Empire. It was this imperial bridgehead, called British Baluchistan, which served as the cornerstone for a forward border policy and, ultimately, the Durand Line.

The Durand Line - Introduction
Creators: name: Schetter, Conrad
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The US-led military invasion of Afghanistan, mission “Enduring Freedom”, started 7 October 2001 and catapulted one region of Asia that had seemed to have been forgotten since the end of the Cold War into the forefront of political awareness. However, 12 years later, in 2013, it was more than obvious that the intervention had not achieved the outcomes which were once expected of it. Although US-Special Forces killed Osama bin Laden in the Pakistan city of Abbottabad on 2 May 2011, al-Qaida, the Taliban and other militant Islamist groups are still prevalent in the region and have the potential to revitalize after the withdrawal of international troops.

The magical place of literary memory (TM): Xanadu
Creators: name: Barnet, Belinda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It was a vision in a dream. A computer filing system which would store and deliver the great body of human literature, in all its historical versions and with all its messy interconnections, acknowledging authorship, ownership, quotation and linkage. Like the web, but much better: no links would ever be broken, no documents would ever be lost, copyright and ownership would be scrupulously preserved. This vision is actually older than the web, and aspects of it are older than personal computing: it belongs to hypertext pioneer Theodore Holm Nelson, who dubbed the project Xanadu in 1967.
