India’s Strategies on its Periphery
Creators: name: Sauvagerd, Monja
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: This paper explores India’s foreign policy strategies in its relationship with its neighbor Bhutan — probably one of the most asymmetric regional relationships in the world, and one that has come center stage in the context of the tensions between India and China over disputed territory in Doklam in 2017. Against this backdrop this paper takes a look back at the India–Bhutan relationship during the years 2007 to 2016, following Bhutan’s transition to democracy. It focuses on two specific policy fields: Bhutan’s diplomacy, and particularly its efforts to establish relations with China, India’s rival in the region; and Indo–Bhutanese development cooperation in the field of hydropower projects. The paper uses an analytical framework focused on three ideal-typical strategies that regional powers like India can pursue: empire, hegemony, and leadership. The findings show that while India tends to pursue a “leadership” strategy on hydropower projects, it has a contrasting approach when it comes to Bhutan’s diplomacy, indicating several incidences of “hard hegemony” These divergent strategies are related to the different interests connected to the two policy fields: while India is willing to establish an equal partnership in the economic-driven policy field of bilateral hydropower projects, it tends to pursue a very unequal and hard hegemonic strategy in the one of Bhutan's diplomacy because closer Bhutan–China ties are considered India’s own security interests.

description: The idea of integrating users into the design and production process is a promising strategy for companies being forced to react to the growing individualization of demand. While there is a huge amount of managerial literature on manufacturing and information systems for mass customization, research on the role of the customer within the co-design process is rare. However, customers face new uncertainties and risks when purchasing a customized good. We discuss these risks and provide a new approach to address these problems based on personalization and collaboration. We will analyze how personalization of the co-design process and collaboration of users within communities can render (mass) customization more efficient. Our objective is to set a research agenda in the field of user interaction with toolkits for customer co-design.
Über die Herausforderung(en) des Dialogs mit Nordkorea

description: Finding a diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula is among the most pressing challenges that the international community currently faces. Given that any diplomatic solution to the crises necessitates direct dialogue with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea), this study analyzes past dialogue initiatives of the international community with that country — thereby aiming to scrutinize the multiple challenges associated with such endeavors. Among the lessons that can be learned from the failure of past diplomatic initiatives to solve the nuclear crisis is the acknowledgment of the fact that such non-military solutions will constitute a long-term and gradual process, whose continued maintenance requires a tremendous amount of sustained political will. Moreover, North Korea’s transition to a de facto nuclear power has dramatically changed the baseline for dialogue with it.

The influence of neck compliance and head displacement on impact dynamics of a Hybrid III head
Creators: name: Rousseau, Philippe
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, General.
subject: Biology, Physiology.

description: The objective of this study was to determine the influence of impact deflection and neck compliance on peak linear, peak angular accelerations and the Gadd severity index. To replicate direct impacts to the head, a pneumatic linear impactor was used to impact a Hybrid III head and neck attached to a sliding table. The headform was translated 0cm, 3.88cm, 7.75 cm and 11.63cm laterally to identify the effects of impact deflection. The effects of neck compliance were tested using a Hybrid III 50th percentile neck as well as two specially engineered Hybrid III necks. Impacts away from the centre of gravity of the headform recorded lower values for peak linear and angular accelerations and GSI. This means that impact deflection can effectively reduce brain injury risk. Neck compliance had a significant effect on linear acceleration and angular acceleration. An increase in neck compliance caused a decrease in linear acceleration; however, it also resulted in a decrease in angular acceleration. A comparison to published injury thresholds revealed that a decrease in neck compliance could significantly decrease the risk of brain injury. The data collected provided important insight into the importance of impact avoidance and deflection on injury prevention as well as the effect of the neck on the dynamic response of the head during impact.

description: The paper describes research activity for the development of the "e-business navigator" ? a graphical representation of a classification scheme for the e-business domain. The need for a common understanding of e-business terms evolved in the publicly funded project "eXperience" where case studies were to be classified according to a common standard. The authors of this paper developed a common classification scheme in order to structure relevant knowledge and make it publicly available for all interested researchers and practitioners. One of the objectives was the creation of a common language among all parties involved. A network project of European perspective is in the making and will advance the discussion about the common e-language and e-understanding. Above all, this network will work with the classification scheme and validate its use and implementation in the time to come.

Women’s Careers and Cities

Year: 2021

description: This study first tests whether the national and East Asian regional-based particularity of employment patterns in South Korea and Japan — the M-shaped labor force participation rate of women by age and the low labor market participation rate of educated women — is diminished in globalized cities that are closely entangled with diverse nations and cultural regions (Welsch 1999). Using the 2008 data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) and the Japanese General Social Survey (JGSS), the estimation of weighted proportion found that the specific employment patterns in Japan remain stronger in the country’s cities. The dynamics in labor force participation of educated women partially conform to the hypothesis, but do not follow the Western style in either country. Findings reveal the diversity of work–life styles in the hybridization of culture within globalization, which would be important in policymaking in the labor market for women.

Seismic reflector characterization by a multiscale detection-estimation method
Creators: name: Maysami, Mohammad
name: Herrmann, Felix J.
Publisher: name: European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers
Year: 2008

description: Seismic transitions of the subsurface are typically considered as zero-order singularities (step functions). According to this model, the conventional deconvolution problem aims at recovering the seismic reflectivity as a sparse spike train. However, recent multiscale analysis on sedimentary records revealed the existence of accumulations of varying order singularities in the subsurface, which give rise to fractional-order discontinuities. This observation not only calls for a richer class of seismic reflection waveforms, but it also requires a different methodology to detect and characterize these reflection events. For instance, the assumptions underlying conventional deconvolution no longer hold. Because of the bandwidth limitation of seismic data, multiscale analysis methods based on the decay rate of wavelet coefficients may yield ambiguous results. We avoid this problem by formulating the estimation of the singularity orders by a parametric nonlinear inversion method.
title: Human Osteoblast Proliferation in Culture Following a Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field (nsPEF)

description: Osteoblasts are mononucleate bone forming cells responsible for the deposition of new bone. Application of mechanical stress on bone reveals its ability to produce and release electric potentials across the cell membrane called piezoelectricity. The electric potentials produced in response to mechanical stress may have a direct correlation on osseous cells and the signaling pathways that regulate proliferation. Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) are high intensity, ultrashort pulses which have the ability to maintain the integrity of the cell membrane by avoiding traditional electroporation. We delivered 8 nsPEFs (0.5 Hz) of a 25 kV/cm or 35 kV/cm electric field strength for a 60 ns duration while maintaining the viability of the cell which allowed us to measure the subcellular effects of these pulses on enhancing osteoblast proliferation rates (mitotic activity) in culture. The use of flow cytometry along with a specialized cell tracing dye allowed computerized analysis of cell proliferation rates over a seven day post pulse period. The results indicate a significant difference between treatment and control groups in the percentage of divided cells (25 kV/cm: p ≤0.011; 35 kV/cm: p ≤0.002). As the electric field was increased the percentage of osteoblast division decreased. The experimental results will allow future researchers to fine tune pulse duration and intensity when studying the cell signaling mechanisms involved in osteoblast proliferation rates.

Sri Lanka: Rekonfiguration des Singhalesischen Nationalismus?
Creators: name: Köpke, Sören
Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2021

description: Sinhala nationalism is the constitutive political ideology for the majority of Sri Lanka’s Buddhist, Sinhalese-speaking majority. This article argues that since the end of the Sri Lankan Civil War (2009), this political ideology has undergone a reconfiguration — now oscillating between competing interpretations. Current president Maithripala Sirisena, elected in 2015 and governing in a unity coalition that includes social-democratic and liberal Sinhalese parties, has initiated a rapprochement toward the West. His predecessor and rival, Mahinda Rajapaksa, was strongly associated with the victory over the insurgent Tamil Tigers (LTTE) that had been heavily criticized by Western powers from a human rights perspective. Rajapaksa’s rule up to the presidential election in 2015 had been characterized by increasing authoritarianism, anti-minority sentiment, and corruption. As of early 2018, Rajapaksa has reemerged as the leader of a new populist front and seems to cater to the fears of Sinhalese nationalists — which secured his party a decisive victory in the local government elections. This nationalist populism with an agrarian base displays similarities to current populist strategies being witnessed in other world regions too.

The Image of the Beautiful Woman
Creators: name: Lotti, Valeria
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: Images of the female body are widely employed in advertising, cinema, fashion, and media the world over. In Chinese cities, meanwhile, everywhere we look we can see advertisements for cosmetic treatments that depict desirable bodily representations with the following core characteristics: thin figure, oval face with pointed chin, slim cheeks, high-bridged nose, big eyes, and fair skin. These are the supposed features of the modern beautiful woman, and set the beauty standards that cosmetic treatments aim to reach up to. The beauty standards promoted nowadays are, to a certain extent, the result of globalization and individualization: with the reform era the diffusion of Western (i.e. Euro-American) culture in China had an impact on existent norms of beauty, creating new global and local standards—ones that women choose to pursue as a way to affirm their individual identity. This Research Note focuses on the ideals of beauty that are currently widespread in Chinese society, highlighting specifically the cultural and social influences that have shaped them. Additionally it points out the currently popular cosmetic surgery trends, as they embody perfectly such ideals of beauty — and thus ultimately attempts to show the power of body images in the construction of modern individuals.

description: L'analyse de la double comptabilité d'Orléans pendant trois périodes de la guerre de Cent ans (1425-1427, 1441-1443 et 1449-1451) a permis de mieux comprendre les stratégies utilisées par le corps municipal pour assurer la sécurité des habitants. Il ressort de cette étude que la comptabilité de " forteresse " permit aux procureurs d'Orléans de profiter des octrois royaux à diverses fins. De plus, pour financer leurs murailles et gérer une fiscalité de plus en plus permanente, les bourgeois développerent des techniques complexes qui servirent de modèle à l'État. Il apparait également que les stratégies humaines mises en place pendant la guerre permirent aux élites municipales de s' attacher un personnel fidèle, de développer chez les Orléanais un fort sentiment d'appartenance et de s'attirer des privilèges des personnages les plus influents du royaume. Orléans profita aussi du conflit pour affirmer son identité et redéfinir ses relations avec le roi.

description: Abstract: - This study investigates the impact of income and poverty on access to healthcare services among the Buffalo, New York, African American population. The study is motivated by the persistent healthcare disparities experienced by this population, despite efforts to improve health equity. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to establish the context of the study and identify gaps in the existing literature. The study employed a survey design, with a sample size of 280 African American respondents in Buffalo, New York. The data collected was analyzed using Excel as it was suited to the study. The study's findings reveal that income support programs are crucial in ensuring access to healthcare for all, regardless of income or poverty status. Poverty levels were also found to significantly impact access to healthcare among African Americans in Buffalo, New York, with low-income individuals and families facing numerous financial, social, and structural barriers to accessing essential healthcare services. In addition, income levels were found to have an impact on access to prescription drugs, which could limit the ability of African Americans to manage their health conditions effectively. The study recommends that policymakers develop and implement interventions that address income inequality and reduce poverty among vulnerable populations, such as African Americans. Healthcare providers should also develop programs to improve access to healthcare services and prescription drugs for low-income individuals and families. Future research should explore the impact of other factors, such as health literacy, cultural beliefs, and healthcare system structures, on healthcare access among African Americans in Buffalo, New York.
The Beautiful Shōnen of the Deep and Moonless Night
Creators: name: Monden, Masafumi
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: Men increasingly define themselves through the management of their bodies in today’s media-driven society, and bodily ideals operate as a major point of cultural reference —influencing men’s perceptions of their own bodies, and indeed their self-identities. One of the dominant modes of ideal male beauty in contemporary Japan, as embodied by many of the country’s male actors, models, and celebrities, differs from the generalized Western ideal of muscularity; being slender, shōnen-like (boyish), and predominantly kawaii (cute) are in vogue. These clean-cut, boyish demeanors, I argue, visually allude to a type of male identity that is situated in a liminal realm between boyhood and manhood, embodied not only by adolescent boys but also by young men in that timescape between “adolescence” and what some societies see as manhood. The primary aim of this article is to examine a particular sector of the significance of this male beauty in contemporary Japanese popular culture —namely the bishōnen, the beautiful boy positioned between child and adult. While the term bishōnen has been used extensively in its literal sense —any beautiful young man, in studies of the aesthetic imagination of Japanese boyhood —it is much more than just a genre label; it denotes a critical concept and an imagined figure of the boy. This article examines bishōnen as a cultural imagination, a complex ideal of boyish identity in Japanese popular culture, and argues that the way bishōnen is perceived and conceptualized calls into question the widely assumed equation of human beauty with sexual desire — pointing to the potential of bishōnen beauty to be appreciated purely on an aesthetic level.

Compressed wavefield extrapolation with curvelets
Creators: name: Lin, Tim T. Y.
name: Herrmann, Felix J.
Publisher: name: Society of Exploration Geophysicists
Year: 2008

description: An explicit algorithm for the extrapolation of one-way wavefields is proposed which combines recent developments in information theory and theoretical signal processing with the physics of wave propagation. Because of excessive memory requirements, explicit formulations for wave propagation have proven to be a challenge in {3-D}. By using ideas from ``compressed sensing'', we are able to formulate the (inverse) wavefield extrapolation problem on small subsets of the data volume, thereby reducing the size of the operators. According {to} compressed sensing theory, signals can successfully be recovered from an imcomplete set of measurements when the measurement basis is incoherent} with the representation in which the wavefield is sparse. In this new approach, the eigenfunctions of the Helmholtz operator are recognized as a basis that is incoherent with curvelets that are known to compress seismic wavefields. By casting the wavefield extrapolation problem in this framework, wavefields can successfully be extrapolated in the modal domain via a computationally cheaper operatoion. A proof of principle for the ``compressed sensing'' method is given for wavefield extrapolation in 2-D. The results show that our method is stable and produces identical results compared to the direct application of the full extrapolation operator.

How Much Is My Face Worth?
Creators: name: Dippner, Anett
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: Since 2015 a new category of media star has come to public awareness and sparked controversial discussion in China: internet celebrity (Wanghong). Wanghongs build their fame and fandom mostly on their eye-catching and hyperfeminine appearance, which they present extensively on social media platforms to gain public attention and to acquire followers and fans. The stereotypical so-called internet celebrity face (Wanghong lian) became the most discussed buzzword of the year 2016, and led to a society-wide discussion about new beauty ideals and the growing popularity of cosmetic surgery, the objectification and commercialization of the body, as well as the increasing importance of presenting an appropriate appearance for the individual’s social and economic success since the turn of the millennium. To address these key emerging issues, the article analyzes the development and characteristics of this new group of celebrities and locates them within the booming “beauty economy.” By literally selling their beautiful face, Wanghongs convert symbolic capital through ecommerce and online advertising into real economic advantage. The utilization of “body capital” has stoked the public discourse about yanzhi (value of a pretty face) in China’s status-conscious society. With an analysis of the internet celebrity phenomenon, this paper looks behind the sparkling social media façade and reveals the social and economic conditions that have led to this new ideology of “beauty as capital” in China.

Contemporary Body Practices in South Korea
Creators: name: Cho, Joo-Hyun
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: In this work, many peculiarities of the body practices sensationally advertised in South Korean media and often reported on in the West and other countries too are claimed to be largely the results of the drastic neoliberal restructuring of the whole society, which young women and men have had to undergo ever since the Asian financial crisis of 1997. Other social factors, including chronic problems in the medical industry itself, account for most of the remaining explanatory lacunae. After giving an overview of current forms of body practice and the socioeconomic terrain, as characterized by neoliberal restructuring and individualization, I will start my analysis by introducing “practice theory,” which explains social practices as a set of stable and evolving patterns within a community maintained by intersubjective normative judgments performed by its agents on their own performances. After a brief exposition of Brandom’s (1994) deontic scorekeeping model, I will explain the main characteristics of the social practices that this type of practice theory implies. Then I advocate for agonistic politics as the political implementation of practice theory, alongside briefly commenting on its implications for feminist politics. With the necessary theoretical tools set up, I explain what intuitions practice theory and agonistic politics offer on the issue of body practices, as the problem specifically of subjection and agency in this late modern Korean landscape. Finally, I conclude by exploring the creative space that the new social practices made possible by young Korean women are now opening up. This discussion is complemented with due caution on possible pitfalls that necessarily accompany such attempts at building new practices, and threaten to reduce them to retrogressive degeneracy.

description: Personalization is an interdisciplinary topic that has been discussed in marketing and information systems as well as in other research disciplines. In this paper we present findings from a longitudinal research project on personalization of e-commerce systems. The findings were taken from interviews, empirical studies, and implementation projects with company partners. There is no single strategy for a successful personalization feature: each company needs to find its own unique selling proposition. The projects showed that once this USP has been identified it can be used for building up lasting relationships with customers. There is a need for further research into personalization issues ? even if there are companies like Amazon, eBay or Broadvision that already demonstrate how it can work.

description: In this paper, we present a nonlinear curvelet-based sparsity-promoting formulation for three problems related to seismic noise, namely the ’good’, corresponding to noise generated by random sampling; the ’bad’, corresponding to coherent noise for which (inaccurate) predictions exist and the ’ugly’ for which no predictions exist. We will show that the compressive capabilities of curvelets on seismic data and images can be used to tackle these three categories of noise-related problems.

description: Recommender systems are becoming more and more important for online shop systems. A recommender system suggests potentially interesting products to customers. However, shop administrators typically want to influence the recommendations due to the fact that not all products have the same value for the shop. The shop administrators therefore prefer to recommend products with a higher product value. This paper starts by suggesting a fuzzy classification to precisely calculate the value of the products. Afterwards the calculated product values can be utilized to influence a recommender system to suggest products with a higher value more often.

description: Introduction: Current recommendations for the treatment of HIV include the use of dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, namely abacavir/lamivudine or tenofovir/emtricitabine. This study is to compare the cost-effectiveness of these two alternatives in the treatment of HIV treatment-naive patients. Methods: A review of the literature was performed to identify relevant randomized controlled trials and economic models. The economic model described by Richter using maximal virologic response and rate of failure as efficacy parameters was adapted to take into consideration the effect of HLA-B*5701 genotyping. Indirect comparison technique was used to ascertain the estimate of efficacy parameters. Sensitivity analyses were performed on costs, efficacy parameters and utilities. Results: Abacavir/lamivudine was dominant over tenofovir/emtricitabine. Efficacy parameters, but not costs and utilities, was very sensitive with a small variation leading to tenofovir/emtricitabine dominance. Conclusion: Abacavir/lamivudine is dominant over tenofovir/emtricitabine in treatment-naive HIV-infected patients. Results are extremely sensitive to efficacy parameters.

description: Results from a longitudinal study on the importance and use of information and communication technology in Swiss small and medium-sized companies provide the basis of this paper. In an empirical survey, 901 questionnaires were collected and analysed. The results were weighted according to company size and industry sector and are representative for Switzerland. The data was used to run an extensive cluster analysis. Based on the identified clusters, several bivariat analyses were performed in order to identify the typical outsourcing behaviour of the clusters. The clusters were tested against four different statements regarding (1) experiences with outsourcing, (2) degree of outsourcing (buy or rent), (3) IT know-how, and (4) influencers for outsourcing. The results have a high statistical validity and allowed us to draw conclusions about the typical behaviour of cluster members.

description: A geographic information system was used to measure geographical access to general surgical services in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. An origin-destination matrix approach was used with discharge data for Champlain residents using the Ontario Road Network file and OC Transpo trip planner for public transportation trips with in the city of Ottawa. GIS showed that adding surgical services to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital would be the best location to achieve the goal of reduced drive times for Champlain LHIN residents. However, this hospital was ill suited to take on additional surgeries due to high occupancy rates, a lack of space and surgeons. Differences in neighbourhoods' geographical access (drive and transit time) to the General Campus of the Ottawa Hospital were found. However, it was the more affluent neighbourhoods and neighbourhoods with lower percent of recent immigrants that had longer drive times and transit times.

description: Using three combinations of two experimental stimuli, I initiated mobbing behavior in various species of birds. The objectives of this research were to test the effects of stimuli on mobbing, the predictions of the hypothesis that mobbing functions to drive a predator away, and the effect of other species and individuals on the mobbing behavior of a bird. Mobbing experiments were conducted in a variety of habitats and locations from January 1983 through February 1984.

Only 6.5% of all trials with the mount-only stimulus were successful in attracting birds. Tape-only and mount-and-tape stimuli were equally effective in attracting birds, but the mount-and-tape was more likely to initiate mobbing behavior. Mobbing and related behaviors occurred in the absence of kin, in single individuals, at all seasons, more intensely in the breeding season, and more intensely in residents than migrants. These observations are consistent with the "move on" hypothesis. The presence of parids and greater numbers of individuals increased mobbing behavior in birds

description: Wir leben und lernen heute in einer Welt mit einem großen Angebot an Bildungstechnologien und mit der Informationsfülle des partizipativen Internet. Weitgehend unerforscht ist die Frage, wie damit Kreativität und kreatives Lernen forciert werden kann, gelten sie immerhin als Schlüsselqualifikationen der Zukunft. Im Fokus der interdisziplinären Fachtagung Kreativität und Innovationskompetenz im digitalen Netz standen der kreative Mensch, der Prozess, das kreative Produkt und das notwendige kreative Umfeld. Gleichlautend auch der Tagungsband der 5. EduMedia-Tagung, die von 4.-5. Mai 2009 in Salzburg statt fand.
