title: The life and works of Han Yongun.
Creators: name: Houlahan, J. C.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: In this thesis I wish to present an ordered account of the life and works of Han Yongun. As a Buddhist priest and philosopher, as a poet and novelist, as an essayist and commentator on his own time the body of his work is many-faceted. This is reflected in the various views of his work. Some critics emphasise his nationalism and the part he played in the independence movements which followed the March 1, 1919 uprising and interpret his work in this light. Others concentrate on his most famous work The Silence of 'Nim' and stress his contribution to the new forms of modem Korean poetry. No modem anthology of Korean poetry is complete without an excerpt from this collection. Han Yongtu is a figure who still symbolizes for many Koreans their yearning for a national identity and a national culture which adapts itself to the twentieth century without destroying the sense of a unique past and an enduring intellectual and religious tradition. I hope to demonstrate in this account of his life and works that the unifying principle of his life was his deep commitment to the reform of Korean society through the social expression of his Buddhist philosophy. I believe that an understanding of his Essay on The Renewal of Korean Buddhism is crucial to the appreciation of his poetry and novels as well as to an understanding of his lifelong political activism. Ham Yongun's own philosophy was essentially secular and strongly influenced by nineteenth century European philosophy. Enlightenment was to be achieved in this world. His work can best be understood as an attempt to bring enlightenment to the mass of people through teaching and social reform.

title: The settlement of nomads in the Sudan : The case of Khashm el Girba agricultural scheme.
Creators: name: Hoyle, S. G.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1977

description: The settlement of nomads in the Sudan is examined through an analysis of the performance of the scheme at Khaslum el Girba in geographical, economic and social terms. The first chapter deals with the methodology of the approach, while the next two chapters respectively give the background to the settlement of nomads in general, and the scheme at Khashm el Girba in particular. The following four chapters assess the success of the scheme's attempts to settle the nomads in a physical sense, and through economic performonce in and social conditions arising from the project's implementation. It is shown that, while there is a high rate of tenancy allocation, the actual numbers settled fall considerably below the expected level. It is further demonstrated that, due to various problems experienced on the scheme, the crop rotation barely provides an adequate income for the farm tenant, except were sufficient resources already exist to allow the required inputs. This results in many settlers retaining interests in their former way of life - pastoralism - while the economic structure of the society is perpetuated, thereby increasing the disparity between rich and poor. In the national context the scheme is shown to be successful, contributing significantly to the annual national budget. Socially the increased irevision of education and health facilities is shown to be beneficial, although malaria and bilharzia remain serious health problems. It is concluded that, while the scheme cannot be viewed as a couplets success, the settlers, through their adaptations, have achieved their own success by integrating crop production with livestock rearing, and that such an integration is a rational approach to the conditions existing in the area. It is therefore suggested that in future more attention need be paid to the people involved in agricultural production, as it is they who ultimately determine the overall performance of any scheme.

description: In this paper, a safety-critical control strategy for a nonholonomic robot is developed to generate control signals that result in optimal, obstacle-free paths through dynamic environments. We formulate the control synthesis problem as an Optimal Control Problem (OCP) that enforces Control Lyapunov Function (CLF) constraints for system stability as well as safety-critical constraints using Control Barrier Function (CBF) with a relaxing decay rate of the barrier function. A Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) integrates with CLF and CBF to ensure system safety and facilitate optimal performance within a short prediction horizon, reducing the computational burden in real-time implementation. Additionally, we incorporate an obstacle avoidance constraint based on the Euclidean norm into the NMPC framework, showcasing the CBF approach's superiority in addressing mobile robotic systems' point stabilisation and trajectory tracking challenges. Through extensive simulations, the proposed controller demonstrates proficiency in static and dynamic obstacle avoidance under various scenarios. Experimental validations conducted using the Husky A200 robot align with simulation results, reinforcing the applicability of our proposed approach in real-world scenarios, notably improving the computational efficiency and safety in practical mobile robot applications.

title: Individual talent in the Hausa poetic tradition : A study of Akilu Aliyu and his art.
Creators: name: Muhammad, D.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1977

description: The thesis examines a representative collection of works by the contemporary Hausa poet Akilu Aliyu in the context of Hausa verse generally and in particular the literate tradition. Chapter I outlines the relationship between the two traditions of Hausa verse (Waka) - the oral genre, Waka I, and the literate, Waka II, a biographical sketch of Akilu; and a thematic classification of the poems in the corpus. Chapter II describes the corpus in detail with regard to "segmental", syllabic rhyme (a traditional feature in the literate genre) and considers the extent to which Akilu conforms to or departs from this rhyme tradition. Chapter III demonstrates tonal or "suprasegmental" rhyme, a phenomenon conspicuous in the corpus but not hitherto observed for Hausa verse although it seems to be significant in both genres. Chapter IV, on prosodic rhythm, investigates how far Classical Arabic prosody on the one hand and Hausa Waka I on the other provide the rhythmic inspiration for Akilu as compared with other Waka II authors. Chapter V surveys Akilu's style in language, examining first various forms of poetic licence (dialect, register, loans, linguistic deviation, enjambment and run-on); then rhetorical patterning in parallelism of various types (phonological, morphological, syntactic, thematic, semantic, linking); and lastly figurative language (in the use of simile, metaphor, symbol and allegory). This final chapter concludes with a brief co-ordinating critical commentary to illustrate the convergence of features of thematic content, form and style in one poem, KALUBALE, considered as a unique artistic entity. Finally, it is concluded that while to some extent he follows the inherited tradition, Akilu has also developed and enriched it with his individual artistic talent. Appendix A lists alphabetically all the poems in the corpus with a note of some of their features, and Appendix B contains the text and translation of KALUBALE.
Extremal jumps of circuit complexity of unitary evolutions generated by random Hamiltonians

description: We investigate circuit complexity of unitaries generated by time evolution of randomly chosen strongly interacting Hamiltonians in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Specifically, we focus on two ensembles of random generators -- the so called Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) and the ensemble of diagonal Gaussian matrices conjugated by Haar random unitary transformations. In both scenarios we prove that the complexity of $\exp(-it H)$ exhibits a surprising behaviour -- with high probability it reaches the maximal allowed value on the same time scale as needed to escape the neighborhood of the identity consisting of unitaries with trivial (zero) complexity. We furthermore observe similar behaviour for quantum states originating from time evolutions generated by above ensembles and for diagonal unitaries generated from the ensemble of diagonal Gaussian Hamiltonians. To establish these results we rely heavily on structural properties of the above ensembles (such as unitary invariance) and concentration of measure techniques. This gives us a much finer control over the time evolution of complexity compared to techniques previously employed in this context: high-degree moments and frame potentials.

title: The Buddhist theme in late Ch'ing political thought, 1890-1911, with special reference to T'an Ssu-t'ung.
Creators: name: Chan, Sai-wai
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1977

description: In the present work the writer attempts a study of the religious, cultural and political significance of Buddhism in late Ch'ing intellectual thought through an examination of the writings of influential figures like Liang Ch'i-ch'ao, K'ang Yu-wei, Chang Ping-lin, and particularly T'an Ssu-t'ung. That Buddhism came to play a part in the reformers' thought was a result of several factors: the rekindled interest in Buddhism brought about through the efforts of laymen such as Yang Jen-shan, the need to find a counter-balance to Christianity, the search for a new unifying ideology for China as Confucianism crumbled before the challenge from the West, and the immense potentiality of Buddhism to cater for the intellectuals' diverse cultural and political purposes. T'an Ssu-t'ung's Jen-hsueh is chosen here to exemplify the use of Buddhism in late Ch'ing political thought. Buddhism not only served as the all-embracing school of his eclectic synthesis, it also formed the foundation of the major concepts in the treatise, and was closely related to his radical thinking. To T'an and other like-minded Buddhist intellectuals. Buddhism was not world- abnegating or pessimistic, but indigenous, 'this-worldly' and 'other- regarding'. As their writings show. Buddhism could be used to invalidate Christianity, to suggest that science and western philosophies had their roots in Chinese cultural tradition, to provide unity of thought, cultivate revolutionary character, uplift morality and dismantle deep-seated erroneous concepts and parochial views. This multifarious application of Buddhist doctrines in political thought was phenomenal, and it shows that while the search for wealth and power was of paramount importance to China, there were concerns which transcended the material level. The Buddhist theme in the late Ch'ing period thus manifests itself in many facets of the complex process of the cultural transformation from traditional to modern China.
title: The pattern of national political integration in China, 1949-54 : The role of the greater adminstrative regions.
Creators: name: Keith, R. C.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1977

description: Discussion here is generally inclusive of perspective relating to the processes of national political integration in 1949-1954. Firstly, "political integration" is defined in terms of the creation of a new state super-structure, hence there is a review of the problems of integration in terms of the relation between levels of administration and between systems of organization such as the economic and financial departments of state administration. One must also consider the nature of the relation between general systems of army, Party and state. "Political integration" is secondly viewed in larger terms of the relation of the mass line to government. The pattern of national political integration is discussed generally in terms of the transposition of Yenan strategies of leadership and organization to the plane of national political development in the early 1950's. The pre-1949 "pattern" had been characterized by the inter-relation of armed struggle with various political and economic programmes, and it is important to note that the CCP came to power in 1949, already knowing how to govern. The various perspectives outlined above are very general, and the lines of this inquiry are more closely defined for purposes of research. Discussion is structured in terms of a focus on a particular level of administration, namely, the Greater Administrative Region. The pattern of centralization, affected by this level, in fact reveals the transposition of earlier experience to the plane of national political development. The role of this level of government is discussed in terms of several specific problem areas; for example, there is lengthy discussion of specific problems, relating to the creation of a national economy, but there is also discussion of the application of mass line techniques to government in terms of the role of supraprovincial government in the development of the mass campaigns of 1950-52. Many of the policies and strategies discussed are still very much relevant to present-day problems of organization, and it is hoped that a discussion of the pattern of national political integration in the early 1950's will further an understanding of organization in China today.
title: Politics and the Indian community in West Malaysia and Singapore, 1945-1957.
Creators: name: Brown, R. A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: This dissertation examines the political development of the Indian community in West Malaysia and Singapore in the period 1945 to 1957. It traces its transition from an essentially India-oriented community immediately after the Occupation to a more permanently-settled community in 1957, with a secure place in the Government of Independent Malaya. After an opening chapter outlining the main political features of the Malayan Indian community prior to 1945, the succeeding chapters, covering the period 1945-1957, are arranged thematically. They consider the impact of Indian nationalism on the local Malayan community, the politicization of Indian labour, the Indian response to the Malayan Union and the Federation Agreement, the participation of the Indians in formal politics, factionalism within the Indian community, and finally the alignment of the Malayan Indian Congress with the Alliance in the mid-1950's.
title: Conflict between the Prophet Muhammad and the Mushrikun of Quraysh during the Meccan period in Arabic literature.
Creators: name: Abu Bakar, B. B. H.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1977

description: The objective of this study is to illustrate the religious conflict between the Prophet Muhammad and the Mushrikun of Mecca and to study some of the poetry which was said in connection with the religious idea of that period. Although the study was connected with one part of the Arabic Literature, poetry, it is stressed more on the historical part of it. The first chapter deals with the historical Background of the Arabs' life before the advent of Islam, social, political, intellectual and religious. A more detailed study was given to the religious part of the pre-Islamic Arabs, as this is the most important point which led to the spiritual conflict between the Prophet and his fellow Qurayshites. A study of how they came to worship idols and verses of poetry which were said to glorify their idols. How did Christianity and Judaism reach Arabia and their influences in the life of the Arabs. The second chapter deals with the life of the Prophet Muhammad, his personality, his situation in the Meccan society, his prophethood and his early message to his people. This is then followed by the reaction of the Quraysh towards the new religion, which did not recognise their faith and belief and denounced their glorified and venerated idols. Why did the Quraysh reject Islam and refused Muhammad's prophecy? What are their movements against the Prophet, his followers and Islam? How did the Prophet face them? And finally the study of those people who took active parts and actions in stopping the Prophet from preaching Islam. The sources of study are based mostly on al-Qur' an and kutub al-tafsir as well as historical and Arabic literary sources. Quranic verses are translated with the help of the translation of al-Qur'an by Muhammad Yusuf 'Ali, Pickthall and others. Wabillahi al-taufiq.

title: The Zoroastrian temple cult of fire in archaeology and literature.
Creators: name: Yamamoto, Y.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: Zoroastrians have long been called 'fire-worshippers'; but the question remains why only they should be termed so, since veneration of fire has been a wide-spread custom in the world, and since moreover the Zoroastrians themselves venerate not only fire, but other natural objects also. The particular characteristics of the Zoroastrian veneration of fire can be defined as follows: first, because they emphasize the purity of fire, they avoid as far as possible any contamination even of the hearth-fire. Second, they place a sacred fire, especially established and perpetually maintained, in a temple, and make offerings of three kinds, fuel, incense and fat, to it itself. However, if these particularities are considered as reasons for naming Zoroastrians 'fire-worshippers', the second one needs to be re-examined, for Zoroaster himself did not mention temple fires, and the concept of the temple fire is not found even in the later Avesta. According to Greek writers, the Persians in early Achaemenian times appear not to have had a temple cult. Nevertheless, some time in the fourth century B.C., possibly in the reign of Artaxerxes II, the temple cult of fire seems to have been established, perhaps in reaction to the image cult of Anahita. Since that time, the temple cult of fire has occupied a central part in Zoroastrian observance. The development of this cult can be traced from archaeological evidence, such as surviving fire altars and their representations on seals, coins and tomb-reliefs, and also from temple remains. There is also the evidence of the Pahlavi books, and the living Zoroastrian tradition.
title: The negotiation of marriage in the People's Republic of China.
Creators: name: Croll, Elisabeth J.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: This thesis, based on documentary sources and a brief period of intensive interviewing in the People's Republic of China, is a study of the new marriage patterns as they have evolved in contemporary China and an analysis of the specific economic and ideological variables working for and against their social change. It examines the processes of change within the institution of marriage itself, in terms of the procedures of negotiation, the criteria governing choice of spouse, the age of marriage and its ritual and ceremonial forms. It argues that the substitution of the ideology of arranged marriage by that of free-choice marriage has not only brought the younger and older generations into direct conflict, but has brought the resources and sanctions of kin and neighbourhood groups into competition with those at the disposal of the State and new political associations. The variety of marriage patterns identified in this thesis derive from patterns of social behaviour evolved in the last two decades to mediate this competition between the generations and between primary and political groups for control of the marriage negotiations. The evidence suggests that these conflicts have been resolved in favour of the older generation and primary groups in rural areas and the younger generation and political associations in the urban social field. This thesis argues that in comparison to urban China, the structure and function of rural households has encouraged the older generation to defy the new ideology and maintain their authority over the marriage procedures, and that the structure and function of primary groups in rural areas has enabled them to retain their controls. In correlating marriage patterns with both social and economic relations within the household and between the household and primary kin or neighbourhood groups, this thesis questions both the analogies drawn from the comparative social fields of Republican China and Taiwan, and many of the factors believed to underlie this process of social change that have been assumed to operate within the People's Republic of China itself.

title: The puristic movement in Sinhalese (1922-1970).
Creators: name: Gunasena, A. K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: The present study is an attempt to examine critically the Sinhalese puristic movement extending from the 1920's to 1970, which was inaugurated by Munidasa Kumaratunga and had as its objective the resuscitation in its wholeness of the framework of classical Sinhalese grammar and style. A brief discussion of the nature of Sinhalese diglossia with occasional relevant reference to other diglossic situations is included in chapter I both to illustrate the general character of Sinhalese and to show how it could be conducive to the rise and continuance of puristic endeavour. The same chapter also presents a thumbnail sketch of the history of Sinhalese in order to establish the historical origins of the dichotomy existing between written and spoken Sinhalese. The second chapter discusses the historical and linguistic background from the end of the fifteenth century which brings to an end the classical period of Sinhalese writing, and which the modern purists regarded as incepting a period of linguistic decadence. The first beginnings of puristic revivalism can be seen in the latter half of the eighteenth century and much of the nineteenth century with their nativistic tendency. These are dealt with in chapter III. Chapter IV is devoted to discussing the emergence of Kumaratunga, his linguistic objectives and the inception of his Hela Havula (Pure Sinhalese Fraternity). The fraternity's conception of language and its proper development together with its definition of grammar and correctness are taken into consideration in chapter V. Chapter VI is an analysis of the grammatical works of the movement which were designed to teach the Helese doctrine of perfection, The activities of the followers of Kumaratunga and their zealous endeavour to propagate his linguistic credo are dealt with in chapter VII. The final chapter discusses, firstly, the recent attempt of the Hela Havula to obtain authoritative recognition of its special linguistic features by using governmental backing to get them introduced into the state-sponsored Standard Sinhalese Grammar and the series of Sinhalese school text books. Secondly, it discusses the causes which led to the decline dying out of the Hela movement. Two appendices are included to illustrate some of the points discussed.

description: The changeover from first-order to second-order phase transitions in q-state Potts models is obtained at q_c=2 in spatial dimension d=3 and essentially at q_c=4 in d=2, using a physically intuited simple adaptation of the Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization-group transformation. This simple procedure yields the latent heats at the first-order phase transitions. In both d=2 and 3, the calculated phase transition temperatures, respectively compared with the exact self-duality and Monte Carlo results, are dramatically improved.

title: A phonetic and phonological study of some characteristic features of Telugu English including reference to the source and target languages.
Creators: name: Prabhakar Babu, B. A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the phonology of English spoken by educated Telugu speakers in southern India. Telugu English Is one of the non-native varieties of English. The study alms at interpreting the description of this variety of English in terms of the Influence of the source language (Telugu) on the target language (English). In order to assess the extent of Influence of the source language, a broad description of certain phonological and phonetic features of Telugu is given. Particular attention is drawn to the word structures in Telugu which are different from those in English. Both segmental and suprasegmental features are included in this work. Vowels and consonants, word accent, emphasis and intonation are the features examined both at the phonological as well as the phonetic levels. The patterns of Telugu English are broadly' compared with the patterns of Received Pronunciation of England. Instrumental work carried out includes palatographic evidence in support of the phonetic description of Telugu consonants. Mingograms are provided to illustrate the durational differences between emphatic and non-emphatic forms of Telugu words. The findings of this research point to three major phenomena: (1) Certain features are carried over from the source language (Telugu) to the target language (English). The carryover seems to be greater in respect of suprasegmental features (e.g., word accent, intonation) than the segmental features. (2) Certain features which are not characteristic of Telugu are acquired for English. (3) There are areas in which English patterns are kept distinct from Telugu patterns.

title: The evolution of the urban pattern of Southeast Asia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Creators: name: Chong, Y. L.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: This is the first attempt of its kind made to analyse the evolution of the urban pattern of Southeast Asia as a whole during the 19th and 20th centuries. The main objective of this study is to collect sufficient information and data to fill in the "gaps" in our knowledge of the development of Southeast Asian cities. It empliasizes the influence of political and socio-economic changes on the growth of urban centres both in space and time. The study brings out the essential character of the Southeast Asian cities, i.e. it shows their growth, their decay and the different stages reached in the process of urban evolution. Chapter I outlines the general characteristics of the region which have direct or indirect influence upon urban development in the past as well as present. Chapter II addresses itself to the historical development of urban settlements in the early centuries. Emphasis is placed on the genesis of sacred-capital cities on mainland Southeast Asia as well as port-cities in the maritime part of the region. The development of early colonial cities in the Philippines and Indonesia is also examined. Urban development in the last 160 years was largely the result of a long interplay of colonial economic forces. Chapter III is devoted to an analysis of the drastic political and socio-economic changes which took place in the 19th century and how they generated the new urban network in the region. The 20th century witnessed the rapid spread of towns and cities over the surface of Southeast Asia. Chapter IV examines the changing pattern and the factors which led to this unprecedented urban growth. Chapter V focusses upon the development of metropolises in the region. With the aid of maps, their growth patterns are examined and characteristics described. Within the framework of the rank-size rule, the city-size distribution of each country is examined and its hierarchal characteristics analysed. The future urban pattern is being formed by today's process of growth. The concluding chapter looks at the problems facing Southeast Asian cities. Some suggestions are raised for a national urban policy and for a more positive approach to urban and regional planning in the region.

title: Studies in the Bhakta Mâla of Nâbhâ Dâsa.
Creators: name: Pollet, Gilbert
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1963

description: These Studies in the Bhakta Mala consist of three parts. The first part contains an introductory chapter and a description of the manuscripts and editions. After a note on Nabha Dasa and on the scope of his work, the introduction deals with the approximate date of the Bhakta Mala and with the principles of its prosody. In the second chapter the manuscripts and editions are described and their genealogical relations are shown. A summary is given of the principles followed in constituting the text. Photocopies illustrate the peculiarities of the four manuscripts. In Mie second part, which coincides with the third chapter, the Braj text of ninety-five Bhakta Mala verses has been based on the collation of the four London manuscripts and of four editions. The third and last part contains an annotated English translation of the Braj text, followed by a glossary. In the fourth chapter it appeared useful to attempt a translation , since the Bhakta Mala has not as yet been translated or systematically commented on in a European language. The notes of the fifth chapter have a double aim. They intend to indicate the Sanskrit sources which Nabha Dasa amply used in the first twenty-seven verses. In the remaining verses the notes are meant to establish the historical features of the Vaisna-va saints and to extricate - if necessary with the help of Priya Dasa's commentary - the enigmatic legends. A glossary in the sixth chapter analyses the grammatical structure of the old Braj language as used by Nabha Dasa.

title: Analysis of matter - rupa - in Theravada Buddhism with special reference to the Abhidhamma.
Creators: name: Karunadasa, Y.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1963

description: This study constitutes an inquiry into the analysis of matter as expressed in the sources of Theravada Buddhism, specially in the later systematizations known as the Abhi-dhamma. The introductory chapter is devoted to an examination of the many senses, and contexts in which rupa - a term often used in the sense of matter - occurs; the definition of rupa in the sense of matter; and the general nature of the rupa-dhammas, i.e., the ultimate factors into which matter is analysed. These rupa-dhammas, twenty eight in all, are classified into two categories as primary and secondary. Chapter II deals with those that constitute the primary category and shows how they represent four properties of matter; solidity and extension; viscidity and cohesion; the temperature of cold and heat; distension and mobility. Chapter III examines the position of the secondary rupa-dhammas in relation to the primary and indicates how some of the former category stand for certain facts intimately connected with matter. Chapter IV deals with those secondary rupa-dhammas which in the Abhidhammic commentaries came to be recognised as real entities. This involves a discussion of five material sense-organs, four varieties of sense-objects, two faculties of sex, the material faculty of life, the nutritive "quality" of matter, and the physical basis of mental activity. Chapter V deals with those secondary rupa-dhararnas which in the Abhidhamrnic commentaries came to be recogniaed as nominal entities with no autonomous objective counterparts. This involves a discussion of two modes of self-expression, three characteristics and four phases of the matter of the body, and the space delimited by matter. Chapter VI introduces the many ways in which the rupa-dhammas are sought to be classified, and Chapter VII explains how their inter-dependence and inter-connection are sought to be established with reference to laws of causation and conditionality. Chapter VIII introduces the theory of rupaKalapas - the Theravada form of atomism - and shows how it presents a close analogy to the atomic theories of the schools of Sanskrit Buddhism. The concluding Chapter endeavours to determine the philosophical and the ethical basis of the Buddhist analysis of matter, and to understand the whole subject in the context of Buddhism as a religion.
