Metafory ‘odbicia w wodzie’ jako klucz do odczytania „Pamiętnika z Tosy” Ki no Tsurayukiego. Kreowanie fikcji literackiej w utworze a problem przekładu

description: The aim of this paper is to attempt a new interpretation of one of the most important works from the classical Japanese literature - "The Tosa Diary" by Ki no Tsurayuki. I agree with the Takei Mutsuo's thesis that "The Tosa Diary" was a precursor work for the whole trend of memoirs' literature in medieval Japan and that this diary was written to reconcile two completely different poetics: an anthology of Japanese poetry and private Chinese diary - genres which were so popular among the aristocracy in Heiankyo. Such an origin of Ki no Tsurayuki's work does not explain, however, all the problems concerning the interpretation of the text, and, consequently, its translation. The adaptation of Chinese ideograms for the spoken Japanese language initiated the process of gradual sinization of that language and caused the necessity of continuous, intersemiotic translations of native spoken language to its written, sinified form. For the majority of early Japanese poets, Chinese was not a separate language system, but rather a subsystem - an open collection of ideograms, words, expressions, idioms, or quotations from Chinese literature, which gradually entered the native language.

description: A large portion of foreign assistance for climate change mitigation in developing countries is directed to clean energy facilities. To support international mitigation goals, however, donors must make investments that have effects beyond individual facilities. They must reduce barriers to private-sector investment by generating information for developers, improving relevant infrastructure, or changing policies. We examine whether donor agencies target financing for commercial-scale wind and solar facilities to countries where private investment in clean energy is limited and whether donor investments lead to more private investments. On average, we find no positive evidence for these patterns of targeting and impact. Coupled with model results that show feed-in tariffs increase private investment, we argue that donor agencies should reallocate resources to improve policies that promote private investment in developing countries, rather than finance individual clean energy facilities.Policy relevanceWe suggest that international negotiations could usefully shift the focus of climate change finance towards adaptation in exchange for mitigation-improving policy reforms in developing countries. There is little evidence that mitigation-related financing is having broader effects on energy production, so new financial arrangements should be the focus of future negotiations. Additionally, international donors should focus efforts on reforming policies to attract private investment.

description: Commonly, the low wear resistance of stainless steels damages them during usage; in order to enhance wear properties, various types of tungsten-carbide-based coatings, such as WC-Co and WC-Ni, could be applied on the steel surface. To improve the mechanical properties of the coatings, instead of nickel- or cobalt-bearing coatings, WC-FeAl composite coating is used. Following the previous studies on laser cladding of the WC-FeAl composite powder on 321 stainless steel, the mechanical properties and wear characteristics of the coats are discussed here. Mechanical evaluations showed that hardness, fracture toughness, and the modulus of elasticity of the coating were, respectively, 1600 HV, 5.7 MPa m1/2, and 355 GPa. Moreover, a wear test was conducted at ambient temperature with a 30 N load for 3000 m. The results indicated that by applying the coating, the weight loss of the 321 steel decreased from 146 to 0.7 mg. Besides, the wear rate of the coated sample was 0.57 mm3/N m. Further analysis conducted on the worn surfaces of the coated samples depicted that parallel scratches formed on the surface, indicating that the abrasion wear was the main mechanism for WC-FeAl coating https://doi.org/10.2351/7.0000219

description: In a world where Quantum Networks are rapidly becoming a reality, the development of the Quantum Internet is gaining increasing interest. Nevertheless, modern quantum networks are still in the early stages of development and have limited capacity to distribute resources among different users -- a constraint that needs to be taken into account. In this work we aim to investigate these constraints, using a novel setup for implementing Quantum Random Access Codes (QRACs), communication protocols known for their quantum advantage over their classical counterparts and semi-device-independent self-testing applications. Our QRAC states, made for the first time using weak coherent pulses instead of entangled single photons, allow us to experimentally test our encoding and decoding strategy from the resource allocation perspective. Moreover, by emulating a coexistent classical communication, we test the resilience of our implementation in presence of noise. The achieved results represent a significant milestone both for theoretical studies of quantum resource allocation and for the implementation of quantum infrastructures capable of coexisting with regular telecommunication networks.

description: Bis(4-benzylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato)nickel(II), 1, was prepared by metathesis of sodium salt of 4-benzylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate with nickel(II) chloride in 2:1 ratio. Complex 1 was characterized by analytical techniques including elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Visible spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal analysis. The latter technique confirmed square-planar geometry around Ni with the formation of NiS4 core with two shorter and two longer Ni-S bonds. The packing diagram revealed a supramolecular chain structure mediated by unconventional H…H dihydrogen bonds that resulted in a chair and a ladder like structure when viewed along the a-axis and c-axis, respectively. The thin film coating resulted in a microporous film with a band gap of 1.69 eV. Complex 1 based sensor was fabricated to check the humidity sensing properties of the material. Resistance of the device decreased by two orders of magnitude and capacitance was enhanced with the increase of relative humidity. The DNA binding study proved 1 to be a good DNA binder with binding constant value of 1.4×104 M−1.
O wpływie kobiecej estetyki na rozwój wczesnej japońskiej poezji waka

description: The article is an attempt at presenting the development of native Japanese poetry at the turn of Nara and Heian epochs through the influence of the so-called "after-night letters" (intimate erotic poems circulated solely in the private correspondence of aristocrats and ladies-in-waiting) on the official court literature. In the period separating the edition of two first anthologies of Japanese poetry - "Man'yoshu" (The Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves) and "Kokinwakashu" (The Collection of Ancient and Modern Songs) there was a marked change in the mode of emotional expression of the speaking subject and in the use of poetic tropes. Even though in the intervening years the Yamato court came under the considerable Chinese influence, the feminine aesthetics, so characteristic of the "after-night letters", gradually became part of waka poetry as the latter grew in popularity, and eventually found expression in the manifesto of the new poetics - Ki no Tsurayuki's "Kanajo". Therefore, it was the erotic poems written by ladies-in-waiting that saved Japanese poetry from sinization, while also giving it - in contrast to vividly expressive elegies from the "Man'yoshu" collection - a new inflection through the application of subtle allusions and puns, often used earlier in private, intimate correspondence.

description: In this study, we present a method for emotion recognition in Virtual Reality (VR) using pupillometry. We analyze pupil diameter responses to both visual and auditory stimuli via a VR headset and focus on extracting key features in the time-domain, frequency-domain, and time-frequency domain from VR generated data. Our approach utilizes feature selection to identify the most impactful features using Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (mRMR). By applying a Gradient Boosting model, an ensemble learning technique using stacked decision trees, we achieve an accuracy of 98.8% with feature engineering, compared to 84.9% without it. This research contributes significantly to the Thelxinoë framework, aiming to enhance VR experiences by integrating multiple sensor data for realistic and emotionally resonant touch interactions. Our findings open new avenues for developing more immersive and interactive VR environments, paving the way for future advancements in virtual touch technology.

description: This paper explores the distribution of private intra-household transfers in Niger. It aims to understand how these transfers could be a palliative to the inadequacy of social protection. Data provided from the Survey on Living Conditions of Households and Agriculture, conducted in 2014 were used. Multivariate statistics permitted to characterize private transfers received and quantile regressions to identify their determinants. Results of quantile regressions reveal that the household size, the donor's place of residence and the relationship with the donor positively explain the private transfers, which largely depend on various degrees of quantiles. The transfer from children to direct parents shows that an intergenerational solidarity allowing the elderly to be taken care. Results also show that the low level of education would lead to fewer transfers. Moreover, social events, often associated with immediate consumption and conspicuous spending, are sometimes favored to the detriment of private investments that could stimulate the country's economic growth. In terms of policy implications, two major challenges must be overcome. The first one is to formally mobilize private transfers to broaden the scope of social security. The second one is the ability to redirect these transfers to the needy populations and to productive investments. From this point of view, this study may be of interest to money transfer companies, particularly in their strategy for setting up agencies according to the national mapping of transfer flows.

description: Global concerns about the need to conserve marine ecosystems have resulted in rapid growth in the establishment of formally protected marine conservation areas. The ecological benefits of marine protected areas (MPAs) are relatively well recognised, however, the extent to which MPAs improve the livelihoods of coastal peoples remains subject to debate. The aim of this research was to assess the potential impacts of the establishment of an MPA on coastal communities on Pantar Island, located in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, in the eastern region of Indonesia. A subsidiary aim was to make practical recommendations that would minimise the negative impacts of an MPA and optimise the benefits for local people. An assessment of Indonesia’s experience in establishing MPAs shows that community participation in the planning processes was encouraged but not comprehensive. Socioeconomic issues and concerns of communities have also not been adequately considered. Application of a sustainable livelihood analysis framework demonstrated that marinerelated activities were a major part of the diversified livelihood portfolio of coastal communities in and around Pantar Island. In addition, a wide range of activities were undertaken by the coastal villages to survive and cope in vulnerable conditions. Value chain analyses mapped selected marine products and identified the importance of seafood for food security of Pantar Island and income, how local communities are part of international market networks and ways to enhance the participation of local communities in the market. The research found that an MPA would potentially have negative short and long term impacts on coastal livelihoods which included changes to the level of coastal use, displacement of people from fishing areas, loss of access and rights to resources, and reduction in household income. Opportunities for strengthening livelihoods were identified. The research demonstrates the need for future MPA initiatives in Indonesia to improve the balance between conservation goals and livelihood outcomes.

description: We propose leveraging prosocial observations to cultivate new social norms to encourage prosocial behaviors toward delivery robots. With an online experiment, we quantitatively assess updates in norm beliefs regarding human-robot prosocial behaviors through observational learning. Results demonstrate the initially perceived normativity of helping robots is influenced by familiarity with delivery robots and perceptions of robots' social intelligence. Observing human-robot prosocial interactions notably shifts peoples' normative beliefs about prosocial actions; thereby changing their perceived obligations to offer help to delivery robots. Additionally, we found that observing robots offering help to humans, rather than receiving help, more significantly increased participants' feelings of obligation to help robots. Our findings provide insights into prosocial design for future mobility systems. Improved familiarity with robot capabilities and portraying them as desirable social partners can help foster wider acceptance. Furthermore, robots need to be designed to exhibit higher levels of interactivity and reciprocal capabilities for prosocial behavior.

description: The volatility of stock market dampens investors’ confidence because of the uncertain returns associated with it, and the effect this may have on trading activities and investment worries policymakers as it may spillover to the general economy. The aim of this study is to examine the volatility of African Stock Markets and the factors influencing it in Africa. The Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) was used to generate the volatility, and the Generalised Method of Moments was applied on dynamic panel model to examine the factors that account for volatility in Africa. Sixteen (16) African Stock Markets were covered for the period 2013 to 2019. Data was sourced from African Securities Exchanges Association, Bank for International Settlements and World bank development Indicators databases. The study found that macroeconomic instability and financial liquidity variables determine stock market volatility in Africa. Specifically, macroeconomic instability has positive and significant effect on volatility, while stock market liquidity, diaspora remittances, growth in money supply negatively influence stock market volatility. This study recommends that the monetary authorities, particularly Central Banks should inculcate stock market volatility as part of its financial stability goal and apply financial liquidity tools like diaspora remittances, money supply, and stock market liquidity to mitigate it, while ensuring stability in the macro-economy.

description: At a time when health professionals struggle to address severely inadequate social conditions which are reflected in the poor health of Indigenous peoples from remote and rural Australia, Indigenous students are receiving confused messages from national politicians concerning their level of support available. This study identifies ways in which Western tertiary institutions may better appreciate those elements of the Indigenous students’ learning environment considered critical for success. This study initially describes the institutional support structures and applied strategies currently considered effective and culturally appropriate to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in the Northern Territory. In attempting to investigate whether these solutions to the acknowledged problem of low retention rates and course completions in tertiary study are supported by the students themselves, the study records the perceptions of a sample of Indigenous students enrolled in three Northern Territory institutions across both the Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education (HE) undergraduate and post-graduate health sciences courses. With its methodology based within the Interpretive Paradigm, the study utilises qualitative research orientations, including semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, and acknowledges the ethical and political dimensions of the research. The resultant data provides insights into the many complex issues impacting on Indigenous Health Science students, many of whom are employed as community Health Workers. The research identifies that the informal learning generated by their unique experiences results in the students reaching a hybrid cultural space within the Western tertiary environment in which they can be an individual without loss of cultural identity. Amongst the findings it was learnt that institutions need to further foster relationships with the family and community connections of the students. This study reveals a Model of Support recommending that increased institutional Cultural Sensitivity involving the simultaneous development of Cultural Nurturing and Cultural Connections is required.

Development in A Time of Globalization
Creators: name: Rao, J. Mohan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1998

description: The paper examines grounds on which a `second opinion’ to the Washington Consensus may be
constructed using data for a sample of 123 rich and poor nations for the period from 1960 to
1995. The historical record makes abundantly clear that international inequality has increased
not only over the long haul of the past two centuries but also in recent decades. Unequal
development derives mainly from economic and political-economic forces internal to nations.
Unregulated global market forces mostly follow this process rather than countering it. At the
same time, the fragile internal development process is vulnerable to the disruptive forces of
unrestricted openness. To be sure, access to global markets can be a powerful factor in
development. But development success has hinged on selective and phased integration with
world markets. This understanding clearly goes against the prevailing view that the growth
benefits from globalization far outweigh the costs and that the main task for developing countries
is to eliminate all impediments in the way of integrating their domestic economies with global
trade and financial flows.
It is not only economic growth as it relates to globalization that is at issue. The historical
record also shows that the wealth of nations alone fails to account for variations in the levels of
national poverty and inequality. Hence, we must also be concerned about whether increasing
globalization restructures incentives in a direction that is conducive to reducing inequality and
poverty. Apart from the purely economic mechanisms, this concern must extend also to the
capacities for public action that globalization might weaken. The paper is animated by the belief
that given the continuing primacy of the nation state, a modicum of national policy autonomy is
vital to a politically sustainable economy, particularly in redressing endemic problems of poverty
and inequality.

Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: Aims: Overall, the thesis aims to provide a contribution to knowledge in the quest for statehood of the Northern Territory. This study has three principal aims. First and foremost is the aim of explaining how this attempt failed to move the Northern Territory further along the path of becoming the seventh state in the Australian federation. Second, is to situate the Northern Territory experience within the wider context of constitutionalism, creating states in pre-existing federal structures, the notions, theories, values and literature. The third aim is to provide a historical and cultural context, and includes personal insights derived from relevant associations. Scope: The scope is limited by the federation and by chapter subject relevance, documenting and analysing the key themes and processes of the Northern Territory’s constitutional development towards statehood; the culture, roles, work and interests of key participants. It includes the contours of debates, and involves analysis of the relevant literature, sifting the archival, parliamentary, media, and other primary and secondary sources. Original sources from oral history and shorter interviews with key individuals are included in appendices for text analyses. The Conclusions: The evidence suggests many reasons and causes affecting failure, including: 1. The culture of the statehood movement: its rise and fall. 2. A diminution and loss of constitutionalism removing the underpinning of unimpeachable sovereignty. Its genesis included changes to an informed paradigm of democratic method. The process adopted under the Constitutional committees was ostensibly on track, but came under the Legislative Assembly’s control, inserting an extra paradigm stage, enabling direct management by the CLP government. 3 The contradiction of separately redrawing a well-drafted constitution resulting in the changed minimalist Revised Draft Constitution, without Rights. It was rejected mainly by Aboriginal people, and by opponents of undemocratic process. 4. Corollary effects of all the above: (a) A stage-managed Constitutional Convention and delegate selection process, exacerbating distrust of political direction. (b) Absence of an adequatelyfunded education campaign, instead, substituting a last-minute propaganda assault. (c) Ignoring fears of the Indigenous population, and a disproportional inclusion of them in the statehood process, entrenching suspicion. (d) The single, untimely and presumptuous referendum question. (e) Fears of euthanasia returning with statehood. And (f), objections to joining a flawed federation.

description: The study investigates the role of transport infrastructure and quality of institutions on trade between the East African Community and three other regional blocs in Sub-Saharan Africa using panel data for the period between 2000 and 2018. By employing gravity model for trade and Poisson-Pseudo Maximum likelihood estimator, the study finds that transport infrastructure facilitates inter- East African Community trade. Additionally, improvements in regulatory quality of the East African Community Partner States and control of corruption of the importing regional blocs have positive effect on East African Community’s exports. The findings therefore suggest the need for additional investment in transport related infrastructure and improvement in quality of institutions of the East African Community Partner States for more trade.

description: With the leaping advances in autonomous vehicles and transportation infrastructure, dual function radar-communication (DFRC) systems have become attractive due to the size, cost and resource efficiency. A frequency modulated continuous waveform (FMCW)-based radar-communication system (FRaC) utilizing both sparse multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) arrays and index modulation (IM) has been proposed to form a DFRC system specifically designed for vehicular applications. In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) parameter estimation problem in the FRaC is considered. Since the 3D-parameters including range, direction of arrival (DOA) and velocity are coupled in the estimating matrix of the FRaC system, the existing estimation algorithms cannot estimate the 3D-parameters accurately. Hence, a novel decomposed decoupled atomic norm minimization (DANM) method is proposed by splitting the 3D-parameter estimating matrix into multiple 2D matrices with sparsity constraints. Then, the 3D-parameters are estimated and efficiently and separately with the optimized decoupled estimating matrix. Moreover, the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the 3D-parameter estimation are derived, and the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. Simulation results show that the proposed decomposed DANM method exploits the advantage of the virtual aperture in the existence of coupling caused by IM and sparse MIMO array and outperforms the co-estimation algorithm with lower computation complexity.

description: Pooling layers (e.g., max and average) may overlook important information encoded in the spatial arrangement of pixel intensity and/or feature values. We propose a novel lacunarity pooling layer that aims to capture the spatial heterogeneity of the feature maps by evaluating the variability within local windows. The layer operates at multiple scales, allowing the network to adaptively learn hierarchical features. The lacunarity pooling layer can be seamlessly integrated into any artificial neural network architecture. Experimental results demonstrate the layer’s effectiveness in capturing intricate spatial patterns, leading to improved feature extraction capabilities. The proposed approach holds promise in various domains, especially in agricultural image analysis tasks. This work contributes to the evolving landscape of artificial neural network architectures by introducing a novel pooling layer that enriches the representation of spatial features. Our code is publicly available.

description: The rise of digital currency and the public ledger Block Chain has led to the development of a new type of electronic contract known as "smart contracts." For these contracts to be considered valid, they must adhere to traditional contract rules and be concluded without any impediments. Once written, encrypted, and signed, smart contracts are recorded in the Block Chain Ledger, providing transparent and secure record-keeping. Smart contracts offer several benefits, including their ability to execute automatically without requiring human intervention, their provision of public visibility of contract provisions on the Block Chain, their avoidance of financial crimes like Money Laundering, and their prevention of contract abuses. However, disputes arising from smart contracts still require human intervention, presenting unique challenges in enforcing these contracts, such as evidentiary issues, enforceability of waivers of defenses, and jurisdictional and choice-of-law considerations. Due to the novel nature of smart contracts, there are currently no standardized regulations that apply to them. Countries that have approved them have turned to customary law to legitimize their use. The Delphi method was used to identify critical success factors for applying blockchain transactions in a manufacturing company. Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) was then utilized to determine the most influential factors. The proposed methodology was implemented, and results show that the most influential factors for the successful application of blockchain transactions as smart contracts in a manufacturing company are: turnover, the counter argument, vision, components for building, and system outcome quality. Conversely, connections with government entities and subcontractors, and the guarantee of quality have the least influence on successful implementation.

The hesitation in using the prophylactic antimigraine therapy and quality of life in patients with vestibular migraine: a cross-sectional study from a Croatian tertiary clinic

description: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a chronic disorder in which migraine creates vestibular symptoms (1). The International Headache Society (IHS) and the Bárány Society have defined VM as repeated vertigo episodes in migraine patients as a new vestibular central entity (2,3). The cause of VM is still unknown, and all proposed mechanisms are based on migraine's presumed pathophysiology (4). While migraine affects 13 - 16 % of the adult population in Croatia and worldwide (5,6), VM is the most common neurologic cause of vertigo (1,7), with a prevalence ranging from 0.89 to 2.7 % in the adult population (2,7–9). Despite its significant impact on healthcare utilization and quality of life (6), VM is still underdiagnosed (7). Many studies have found a decrease in quality of life in patients with vertigo (9–13), but only two clinical studies used the SF-36 questionnaire to measure a reduction in quality of life in patients with VM (14,15). The pharmacological treatment of VM includes treatments to relieve the symptoms of specific episodes as well as preventative treatments to reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes (16). In 2015, a Cochrane review of prophylactic treatments discovered that seventy different drugs could potentially be used for this purpose (17). The majority of pharmacological agents recommended for VM prophylaxis are derived from the therapeutic arsenal of migraine headaches (18). Several drugs, including beta-blockers (propranolol), antiepileptics (topiramate), calcium channel antagonists (flunarizine), and antidepressants (amitriptyline), have high-quality evidence for migraine headache prevention. As a result, these agents are almost unanimously recommended as first-line drugs for VM prevention by American, Canadian, and European guidelines (2,18,19). Radtke et al. re-evaluated patients with VM after a mean of 9 years. They noted only 36 % of those who were aware of their diagnosis and informed about treatment options had tried migraine prophylaxis. They concluded that only 13 % of those polled were still taking preventive medication (20). Our goal is to determine the quantity of VM patients in south Croatia with acute VM attacks that do not use the prescribed prophylactic therapy for VM, and why they give up using that therapy. Finally, we will assess their quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire.
Let Them Eat Risk? Wealth, Rights, and Disaster Vulnerability

description: Disaster-vulnerability reduction is an impure public good: when provided to
one it is provided to others, but not equally provided to all. This means that in addition
to the question of how much disaster-vulnerability reduction to provide, policy makers
face the question of to whom it should be provided. This essay distinguishes between two
broad classes of approaches to the latter question, one based on wealth, the other on
rights.
