Yakuza. The Socioeconomic Roles of Organized Crime in Japan
Creators: name: Rothacher, Albrecht
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The article describes the major activities and organizational structures of Japan’s organized crime syndicates. It analyses the conformity-enforcing social, political, quasi-legal and economical roles of this "unique" Japanese institution. However, its toleration by - and frequent tacit collaboration with - Japan’s power elite runs the risk of eroding legitimacy for Japan’s inadequate political and legal system, since the Japanese lower and middle classes have to bear the growing costs of the activities of the Yakuza whose various foreign and domestic ventures have already begun to affect Japan’s international relations and world standing negatively. Japan’s political power holders however appear unable - or unwilling - to cope effectively with the problem.

Strong States, Cooperative Unions, and the Structure of the International System: A Three-Stage Model Explaining the East Asian Development Path
Creators: name: Bürklin, Wilhelm
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This article discusses alternative explanations for the successful development of the newly industrialized countries in East Asia, namely Singapore, Hongkong, Taiwan, and South Korea. Based on the assumption that the specific form of cooperative trade unionism is a major reason for their success, different hypotheses are discussed. In contrast to a cultural and an institutional approach a three-stage model of labour relations is developed: From emerging colonial labour unions in East Asia to their suppression in the post-war era, to the reform of labour- management relations and the elaboration of institutional cooperation in recent years. The proposed model is based on two arguments: First, labour relations in East Asia have had significant political underpinning. They are the result of institutional regulation rather than cultural traits. Second, the decisions of governments to resort to massive repression of trade unions is not the result of a specifically authoritarian political culture in Asia, but has changed according to the structure of international relations. With the beginnung of the East-West confrontation in the 1940s, these relations constituted the basis of the emerging antagonism between Western-oriented nation-building elites and the oppositional, especially communist, trade unions in these states. Concomitantly, the relaxation of East-West tensions diminished the governments’ motivation as well as their legitimation to further suppress oppositional trade unions. Confronted with this change of opportunities for political suppression, they resorted to refined methods and even offers of cooperation. Thus, labour-relations must be seen as the result of political learning, whereby not only trade unions but also governments learned to adapt their strategy to changing economic and political conditions.

Autoritäre Herrschaft und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in Südkorea: Rückblick und Ausblick
Creators: name: Lee, Eunjeung
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Industrial development in South Korea since 1961 can be explained in terms of interaction among state, social structure and the world economic system. On the one hand there was a strong state which could plan and lead the industrialization process. On the other hand there were social classes which were not differentiated or strong enough to resist government policy, but highly motivated to achieve material welfare. Conditions in the world market have changed. The continuous increase in the need for cheaper consumer goods after the second world war formed the basis for the successful industrialization throughout the last thirty years. However, since the mid-eighties at the latest, these conditions have changed - above all the social class structure. By authoritarian rule alone the state is no longer able to resolve the social conflicts which pose difficulties for further economic development. Thus, it is now imperative that a new political concept be developed in South Korea which would lead to fair social conditions in conjunction with economic development.

The Long March Toward Democracy: Assessment of the Political Modernization in the Republic of Korea
Creators: name: Suh, Mark B. M.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The Republic of Korea, a cold-war creation with a Western-type political system, has had a hard time with democracy. During the first 12 years, there was no political development due to the division of the country and the dictator-like rule of the first president. After he had been driven out of the country by a students’ uprising, the second experiment was initiated in 1960. This was stopped within a year by a military coup. The young generals believed democracy to be a luxury that Korea could not afford. President Park Chung-Hee started to modernize the poor agriculture-based economy through rapid industrialization until he was assassinated by his friend. But because of another coup by General Chun Doo-Hwan military rule continued. From 1961 until 1987 politics was dominated by the military. During this period students untiringly challenged and questioned the legitimacy of the civilian-turned military leadership. Street demonstrations by students and brutal clashes with riot police became routine in Korean politics. Through domestic and external pressure on President Chun Doo-Hwan the opposition succeeded in restoring democracy in 1987. With the inauguration of the direct-elected President Roh Tae-Woo in 1988, Korea started its third experiment with democracy. In the recent presidential election held in December 1992, the former opposition politician Kim Young-Sam was elected. Korea’s democracy has matured and taken firm root along with the booming consumerism. Just as Korea has achieved an economic miracle, the country has shown that a political miracle, the peaceful transition to democracy and democratization with decentralisation, is also possible.

Die Sehnsucht nach dem irdischen Paradies: Ethnotourismus zu den Kalasha
Creators: name: Frembgen, Jürgen W.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The Kalasha are a predominantly non-Muslim minority living in three valleys of the remote Hindukush (North-West Pakistan). Well studied by a fair number of anthropologists they have become an important target of ethnic tourism since the sixties. In tourism advertisement and popular travel literature the pagan Kalasha are portrayed as the "Greeks of Asia" and special emphasis is laid upon their orgiastic festivals, dancing women, and shamans. Recently their ethnic art has also been "discovered" by painters. Among the Kalasha ethno-tourists are looking for a paradise on earth, an arcadia, not yet ruined by the rational, highly industrialized civilization of the West.

Biochemical analysis of the functionality of puroindoline peptides and proteins
Creators: name: Alfred, Rebecca L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The two puroindoline proteins of wheat, puroindoline-a (PINA) and puroindoline-b (PINB) have been studied extensively and their role in grain texture has been well established. Additionally, there are strong suggestions for an in vivo role for PINs in seed pathogen defence. Both PINs are required to be present together and in their wildtype functional form to exert their full 'softening' effect on the wheat grains. Absence of, or variation in, either or both PINs, result in the 'hard' grain phenotype. Yet, the effects of these hardness-associated mutations on the antimicrobial activities and the biochemical and cellular mechanisms of action remain unclear. In the present work, peptides based on the tryptophan rich-domain (TRD) of the wild-type and mutant PIN sequences, as well as barley hordoindolines (HINs) and the wheat grain softness protein-1 (GSP-1) were tested, and found to have a broad range of antibacterial and antifungal activities, suggesting this is a conserved feature of this family of proteins. Additionally, when applied exogenously, the peptides showed inhibitory activities towards leaf rust (Puccinia triticina), an important fungal pathogen of wheat. The peptides had high selectivity towards microbial cells and no toxicity towards mammalian cells, a feature which is essential for potential therapeutic applications. Scanning electron microscopy of yeast cells treated with the PINA peptide showed intact cells with pore-like structures in the membranes, suggesting a non-lytic permeabilisation mechanism. Several intracellular targets are available to non-lytic peptides once they cross the cell membrane. Inhibition of DNA synthesis was investigated, and showed the peptides have a strong DNA binding affinity and may inhibit DNA synthesis in E. coli cells. Many studies have suggested that PINs may interact co-operatively or interdependently to confer the soft grain texture. The significance of various domains and residues for any potential protein-protein interactions (PPI) was tested using the yeast-two hybrid system. Deletion of the TRD in PINA, or amino acid substitutions in it, did not adversely affect the PPI with itself and PINB, nor did the hardness-associated Leu60Pro mutation, thus these regions are unlikely to be directly involved. Deletion of the hydrophobic domain (HD) in PINA lead to a reduction in interaction, suggesting the HD is important but not essential for the PPI of PINA. The Pinb-2 genes show great diversity but may have a minor role is grain texture. Preliminary analysis of the Pinb-2 haplotypes of hard wheat cultivars with the same Ha locus genotype but variations in grain hardness suggested the Pinbii 2v3 allele could be a minor factor in increasing grain hardness. In conclusion, the PIN proteins as well as peptides have a significant potential of applications in agricultural and other industries.
Tourism as Catalyst of Economic and Political Change: The Case of Highland Minorities in Ladakh (India) and Northern Thailand
Creators: name: Michaud, Jean
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The mountainous regions of the north of India (here, Ladakh) and of northern Thailand have in common that they are sensitive border regions inhabited by ethnic minority groups with a different cultural identity than that of the neigbouring lowlanders. They lack any substantial economic resources and are, generally speaking, integrated in the national market to a lesser degree than the central governments would wish. In both cases, however, tourist development has recently grown into an economic force which, combined with governmental development policies at the local and regional level, has been increasing the pace of integration of these minority groups with both the national and the world economy. Should the central governments concerned therefore recognise that it is advantageous to support this ongoing process in order to achieve their own objectives of enhanced territorial and political control? Do the ethnic groups involved derive long term profit from tourism? Partly as a result of field work, the conclusion drawn to the two questions is both a yes and a no.

Ein entwicklungspolitisches Un-Modell: Reflexionen über eine vom "Westen" nicht reproduzierbare Institution in Indien - und was läßt sich von ihr lernen?
Creators: name: Bormann, Hans
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In the social sciences the term "model" suggests that specific effects of a social structure can be reproduced once its working elements are analyzed. But there are social institutions which can hardly be analyzed in this way. In India I visited a Hindu monk (sannyasin) who combines traditional monk life with surprisingly efficient development work among the local population. Peoples’ questions are never answered by him. He trains the people to find useful answers themselves and become independent of outside help. His major "tool" is a meditation which he teaches. According to him meditation increases harmony among people, and harmony tends to create structures in which people can find useful answers to their problems themselves. This institution cannot be analyzed as a model. Here lives a man who does not act in the western sense, nor does he formulate aims and plans nor does he give concrete advice to the people. Compared with development project issues, "religious" actions are irrelevant. Nonetheless, here is a person who moves a lot, without any outside help. The monk said that "development" in fact means development of man as a whole, and not only of fractions of his life (like economy, skills, etc.). So he concentrates on man instead of fractions of man. In his work he also acts as a whole human being, e.g. not in fractions, not in a job attitude. According to him, the limited view of man and his world, and job attitudes are the main factors preventing many development experts from being successful in their work.

Coordination of concurrent one-to-many negotiations in multi-agent systems
Creators: name: Mansour, Khalid
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Automated negotiation is a key interaction mechanism in distributed and multi-agent systems. By adapting negotiation as an interaction method, autonomous agents can interact, compete and cooperate with one another effectively. When the scale of negotiation expands to involve more than two agents, the negotiation process becomes more complex. This thesis addresses the problem of managing concurrent and dependent instances of automated negotiations in the one-to-many multi-agent systems where agents are self-interested, unwilling to disclose their private information (e.g., utility structure, deadline, etc.) and the available information about the opponents is mainly the current history of their offers. In particular, this thesis considers the one-tomany negotiation where a buyer agent negotiates with multiple seller agents over one or more objects concurrently. Dependent instances of negotiation occur when different negotiations are related and the situation of one instance affects the situation of one or more other instances.

Rural Impressions on the Urban Communal Carnage
Creators: name: Breman, Jan
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The recent wave of communalism in India has to be contextualised in the milieu where people live and work. Coming from Surat, where the pogrom carried out on Muslims was barely over, I retreated at the beginning of January 1993 to the villages of my ongoing fieldwork in the countryside of South Gujarat. In my diary I wrote down how the locals reacted to the riots which again broke out in Bombay. The argument is that communalism is not a social force which from far-away and above finally also reaches the rural grassroots but represents a tidal groundswell moving up and out in the other direction.

Entfremdung und fundamentalistische Identitätskonstruktion im zeitgenössischen Indien
Creators: name: Horstmann, Monika
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In the process of modernization the identity of Indian society has been challenged forcefully. One way of responding to this challenge lies in the ideology of Hindutva („Hindudom“) which represents a nationalistic recasting of Hinduism and is alleged by its spokesmen to be pristine unalloyed Hinduism restored. It claims to provide a modern Hindu identity. Its propounders furthermore claim Hindus, whose status is religiously legitimized, as the cultural and racial majority of India. „Hindudom“ is therefore prone to take a totalitarian stance towards secularism and minority groups. It is backed institutionally above all by three related organisations which play a major role in the political arena, namely the RSS, VHP and BJP. The paper presents a discussion of the programmatic inaugural speech delivered in April 1994 by the then newly elected president of the RSS. It underscores characteristics of the ideology that have been delineated in the introductory part of the paper.

Muslimische Quellen in der Ram Janmabhumi Mandir-Babri Masjid Debatte
Creators: name: Conermann, Stephan
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: During the recent dispute between Hindus and Muslims about their claims to the „Holy Ground“ of the now demolished Babri Masjid both sides cited Muslim sources. The Hindus wanted to prove that in 1528 Babur destroyed a Hindu temple and erected a mosque instead, whereas the Muslim argumentation aimed at showing that there was no temple at Ayodhya at this time at all. It seems that a careful study of the main evidence favours the Muslim cause: All Hindu documents are meaningless, because the key manuscript, the , "Sahifa-yi chihal nasaʾh-i Bahadurshahi", has not yet been found, and Mirza Jan’s "Hadiqa-yi shuhada" as well as other works in Urdu are not reliable. When we look at the sources of the Muslims, it becomes evident that the last will of Babur is a hike, but it is true that the destruction of a Hindu temple is not mentioned in the "Babur-nama" nor in the inscriptions of the Babri Masjid, nor in the works of later historians like Abu l- Fazl ʿAllami and Badaʾuni. We have no proof that the territory of the former Babri Masjid „belonged“ to the Muslims nor to the Hindus, but we have a very strong argumentum e silentio that there was no Hindu temple on that site during the reign of Babur.

Ideologie, Organisation und politische Praxis des Hindunationalismus: Lehre, Rituale und Wirkung des RSS und der BJP
Creators: name: Rösel, Jakob
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Since 1925 a militant „National Volunteer Force“, the RSS, and since 1951 an „Indian People’s Party“, the „Bharatiya Jana Sang“, have tried to „reawaken“, in reality to construct the „living God“ of the Hindu nation - as an imagined community, as a visible collective and as the party of the Indian majority. Till 1986 these efforts were largely futile. It is only since the 9th parliamentary elections in 1989 that we observe the emergence of a threatening Hindu nationalist movement. This movement arose as an initially only marginally effective agitation for the construction of a Rama temple in Ayodhya and it is greatly helped by the decline of India’s democratic institutions and the vacillations of the Congress government. The long expected and never attained Hindu nation thus suddenly manifests itself as the nation of Rama. As an imagined community this nation of Rama identifies with the ideals and the vision of „Ram Rajya“ and as a visible collective it operates on the basis of the symbols and the routines of the Ayodhya temple agitation. But as a self- assertive autonomous political force, it still seems to lack cohesion, endurance and an indisputed leadership.

Year: 2017

description: In the debate regarding the existence of a temple dedicated to Vishnu’s incarnation Rama at his alleged birthplace (Janmabhümi) in Ayodhya, which was the site of a mosque up until December 6, 1992, both of the main contenders - the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the All India Babri Masjid Action Committee (AIBMAC) - have attempted to back up their respective points of view by reference to Sanskrit and Hindi texts. The article provides a literary-historical survey of the heterogeneous body of texts mentioned by the two parties, and aims to demonstrate that there is no literary evidence from Hindu sources of the existence of a Rama temple at the janmabhümi before the construction of the mosque in 1528. It also examines the different strategies of argumentation employed in the debate.

Ayodhya - Die archäologischen Befunde und die Kontroverse um ihre Deutung
Creators: name: Teuscher, Ulrike
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This article discusses the archaeological evidence for the existence of a Rama temple on the site of the now destroyed Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The existence of this Rama temple has been taken for granted since the 18th century and has become the basis of a mass campaign directed against the Muslim minorities by the Hindu nationalist party BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and related radical organizations, such as the VHP (Vishva Hindu Parishad). Since 1989, when secularist historians and archaeologists began questioning the validity of the proofs, discussion of this matter has become one of the central points in the dispute over the „ownership“ of the site the mosque once occupied. It became evident that the archaeological finds were in no way convincing, so that the BJP/VHP archaeologists were forced to come up with a series of „new discoveries“. In 1992 the public became more and more convinced that the problem would never be solved on this basis. Titus the BJP and the radical organizations felt forced into action by their failure, resulting ultimately in the destruction of the Babri Masjid.

Year: 2017

description: The recent discussion about the alleged destruction of a temple (commemorating the divine hero Rama’s birth) at Ayodhya by Muslims in the 16th century was promoted largely by archaeologists and historians. In the present paper an attempt is made to analyse the foundations of an increasingly politicised archaeology which sought to provide arguments leading ultimately to the destruction of the mosque (said to have been built over the ruins of the Rama temple) and to communal riots all over the country. Especially scrutinized are the highly dubious methods and arguments of scholars involved in the so-called „Epic Archaeology“ who try to prove the historicity of the two Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana - the latter relating the story of Rama and therefore of great importance to the Ayodhya debate. It becomes obvious how in this field an academic discipline becomes a matter of faith and presents itself as a propaganda tool for communal forces.

Functional analysis of the impact of ORMDL3 expression on inflammation and activation of the unfolded protein response in human airway epithelial cells
Creators: name: Hsu, Karolynn J.
name: Turvey, Stuart E.
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Background: The gene ORMDL3 was shown to be associated with early-onset asthma susceptibility in multiple independent genome-wide and candidate-gene association studies. Asthmatic patients have elevated expression levels of this gene. ORMDL3 encodes a transmembrane protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that may be involved in ER stress and inflammation. It is essential to validate the genetic associations linking ORMDL3 with asthma through functional studies that confirm the biological relevance of this gene in disease. We investigated the effects of manipulating ORMDL3 expression levels in vitro in airway cells on innate immune inflammatory responses, ER stress and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Methods: ORMDL3 expression levels were manipulated in airway cells using an overexpression plasmid and siRNA technologies. Successful modulation of ORMDL3 was confirmed at both the gene and protein level. The functional impact of modulation of ORMDL3 expression levels on inflammatory responses and activation of the UPR were quantified using complementary cellular and molecular immunology techniques. Results: Cells with altered ORMDL3 levels responded equally well to innate immune stimuli and produced similar levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to wild-type cells. Treatment with ER stress inducers, thapsigargin and tunicamycin, resulted in activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, we observed no difference in UPR activation in cells with ORMDL3 knockdown compared to cells with normal ORMDL3 levels. Conclusions: Our results suggest that ORMDL3 variation in the airway epithelium is unlikely to play a significant role in modulating innate immune responses and the UPR in the lung.
Calcutta Wetlands. Towards a Sustainable Development
Creators: name: Ghosh, Dhrubajyoti

description: Since the turn of the present century, the use of city waste in fisheries and agriculture in the wetlands to the east of Calcutta has begun to provide an alternative resource system for the rural communities on the outskirts of the city. By the middle of this century these reuse practices in the vast wetlands had become the largest ensemble of integrated resource recovery systems in the world. In the 3000 ha waterbodies that could still be retained in the area the entire city sewage of 150 Mgd can be treated, at least 5 tonnes of fish can be grown in them per hectare annually. 377 tonnes of vegetables are produced daily from the garbage farms. Surprisingly, the environmental significance of this unique ecosystem was not understood even a decade back. It was necessary to redefine the Calcutta wetlands and bring them from obscurity to preeminence as an outstanding example of multiple use of wetlands on the outskirts of the city. A number of problems have reduced the profitably of the reuse practices. Together with this, the phenomenal increase in the price of land on the edge of the city and a determined lobby of developers and speculators are posing the most serious threat to the future existence of the wetlands. The conservation efforts in such an uncertain milieu were twofold: to conserve the wise use of these wetlands and to derive a technology option for municipal sanitation from the Calcutta experience. As regards the first, a number of effective development controls have been enforced by the government. The entire region is now being planned as a waste recycling region and is under the appropriate Act of the State. Public awareness is also increasing in favour of conserving these wetlands. Secondly, with respect to the task of developing the technology option, it has been possible for a number of municipalities in West Bengal under the national Ganga Action Programme to replace the proposal of setting up conventional sewage treatment plants by the wetland option derived from Calcutta experience. A model ecosystem for 25 Mid of city sewage has already been developed by a fishery co-operative as a demonstration site for similar projects to suit the needs of the poorer countries with ample sunshine.

Using immersive real-time collaboration environments to manage IP networks
Creators: name: Harrop, Warren
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Administrators of complicated computer networks face many challenges, as they continuously monitor and control their systems. Traditional methods of network management are complicated and resource-intensive. To ease the burdens of network management, and help network administrators provide a better service, a 3D game engine was leveraged to develop a unique visualisation system. The system is collaborative, allows for network control, and works across the Internet. Through experimentation, it was found that visual attributes must be chosen carefully to allow correct perception, and that a wide variety of experiment participants (even computer novices) were able to develop a rapid understanding of the visualisation and its controls.

description: The study of rural-urban interlinkages in the development process attempts to examine three decades of intervention in rural development against the background of a rapidly progressing urbanisation in developing countries. While having some positive effect, rural development efforts are not considered to have fulfilled the expectations held at the start. Rural impoverishment has not been banished and rural-to-urban migration continues unabated. This study is an attempt to gather some new insights into the diversity and complexity of rural-urban interlinkages in South Asia. Implications for development cooperation are examined. According to the analytical framework developed in this study, six key aspects characterise the dynamics of rural-urban interlinkages: - Exchange of goods (role of markets) - Technology diffusion - Resource mobilisation and exploitation - Migration and employment - Information exchange - External effects. The analyses conducted in case-study areas in Nepal reveal that the investment-oriented approach of development-cooperation succeeded only haphazardly in inducing economic growth. Economic growth did in some cases improve the living conditions of the target population, in some it did not.

The influence of entrepreneur personality and self-efficacy on behavioural activities in the presence of information overload
Creators: name: Karia, Manisha
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Dr. Karia examined the impact of entrepreneurs' personality characteristics and self-efficacy on their behaviours in the context of information overload. The research identified dimensions within the broad constructs, and a conceptual model was developed for empirical analysis. The results showed evidence of relationships between the constructs proposed in the model, which enhances our understanding of the antecedents of entrepreneurial behaviours. The study highlighted the need for examining specific dimensions that exist within the broad entrepreneurial constructs in future studies.

An investigation of the behaviour of cold-formed steel wall-plate system
Creators: name: Hii, Wei Hui
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cold-formed steel (CFS) wall plate system consists of lipped C-channel (acting as a wall plate), anchor plates (U and L-brackets), screwed and bolted connections. The wall plate system is used in roof structures to resist vertical loading from roof trusses and rafters at the same time ensure that the roof trusses and rafters are properly aligned. Although CFS wall-plate has been widely used locally in Malaysia, no study has been conducted in this area. Therefore the actual capacity and behaviour of the system is still not known. A series of laboratory tests are conducted to study the interaction of the elements in the wall-plate system, and a numerical model is built to facilitate the parametric study. An efficient design is proposed and the results would serve as a guide to the local (Malaysia) construction industry.
