description: We propose an architecture for analysing database connection logs across different instances of databases within an intranet comprising over 10,000 users and associated devices. Our system uses Flume agents to send notifications to a Hadoop Distributed File System for long-term storage and ElasticSearch and Kibana for short-term visualisation, effectively creating a data lake for the extraction of log data. We adopt machine learning models with an ensemble of approaches to filter and process the indicators within the data and aim to predict anomalies or outliers using feature vectors built from this log data.
The roles of T and Tbx6 during gastrulation and determination of left/right asymmetry
Creators: Concepcion, Daniel
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Developmental biology

description: T and Tbx6 belong to the T-box family of transcription factors. T homozygous null mutants lack posterior somites after the seventh pair, have no distinguishable notochord, have a convoluted neural tube and die at E.10.5. In this study we investigate the phenotype of a dominant negative allele of T, TWis. Like homozygous embryos carrying the null allele of T, TWis homozygous mutants have left/right asymmetry defects. We demonstrate that left/right specific genes Cer2, Nodal, and Gdf1 are not expressed in TWis mutants and that the Notch signaling pathway, a pathway necessary for expression of left/right specific genes, is severely perturbed. We find, through the use of confocal and scanning electron microscopy, that TWis homozygous mutants have severe node morphological defects. Molecular analysis shows that TWis mutants have altered expression of the genes Shh, Foxa2 and Gsc, that not only mark structures of the midline and node, but whose expression is essential for the formation and patterning of these structures.
 Tbx6 homozygous null mutants have enlarged tail buds and ectopic neural tubes in place of posterior somites. Tbx6 homozygous null mutants also have irregular development of anterior somites and left/right asymmetry defects that lead to randomization of heart looping.
 In this study we made use of a microarray to find transcriptional regulators that are potentially directly regulated by Tbx6 in order to find genes that govern the establishment of presomitic mesoderm identity. Tbx6 homozygous mutant embryos were used to investigate how Tbx6 affects multiple processes in the establishment of left-right asymmetry, which include node and node cilia development and the expression of genes necessary for nodal signal transduction from the perinodal region to the left lateral plate mesoderm (LPM). We saw that the expression of transcription factors involved in node and node cilia development and genes involved in the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway are not affected in Tbx6 homozygous mutants. We also examined whether the left-right asymmetry defects in Tbx6 homozygous mutants are due to a role for Tbx6 to directly regulate the perinodal expression of Gdf1. We show that perinodal expression of Gdf1 is lost in Tbx6 homozygous mutants at the stage in which Gdf1 is hypothesized to help shuttle Nodal from the perinodal region to the left lateral plate mesoderm. We saw that Tbx6 does not regulate expression of Gdf1 through putative binding sites located in its promoter region and did not detect a genetic interaction between the two genes in determining left/right asymmetry. Finally we saw that addition of a transgene that expresses Gdf1 in Tbx6 homozygous mutants leads to rescue of asymmetric expression of Pitx2 in the left LPM.

description: We consider a model of topological solitons where charged particles have finite mass and the electric charge is quantised already at the classical level. In the electrodynamic limit, which physically corresponds to electrodynamics of solitons of zero size, the Lagrangian of this model has two degrees of freedom only and reduces to the Lagrangian of the Maxwell field in dual representation. We derive the equations of motion and discuss their relations with Maxwell's equations. It is shown that Coulomb and Lorentz forces are a consequence of topology. Further, we relate the U(1) gauge invariance of electrodynamics to the geometry of the soliton field, give a general relation for the derivation of the soliton field from the field strength tensor in electrodynamics and use this relation to express homogeneous electric fields in terms of the soliton field.

description: Significant changes in the composition and extent of the UK forest cover are likely to take place in the coming decades. Current policy targets an increase in forest area, for example, the Welsh Government aims for forest expansion by 2030, and a purposeful shift from non-native conifers to broadleaved tree species, as identified by the UK Forestry Standard Guidelines on Biodiversity. Using the example of Wales, we aim to generate an evidence-based projection of the impact of contrasting policy scenarios on the state of forests in the near future, with the view of stimulating debate and aiding decisions concerning plausible outcomes of different policies. We quantified changes in different land use and land cover (LULC) classes in Wales between 2007 and 2015 and used a Multi-layer perceptron-Markov chain ensemble modelling approach to project the state of Welsh forests in 2030 under the current and an alternate policy scenario. The current level of expansion and restoration of broadleaf forest in Wales is sufficient to deliver on existing policy goals. We also show effects of a more ambitious afforestation policy on the Welsh landscape. In a key finding, the highest intensity of broadleaf expansion is likely to shift from southeastern to more central areas of Wales. The study identifies the key predictors of LULC change in Wales. High-resolution future land cover simulation maps using these predictors offer an evidence-based tool for forest managers and government officials to test the effects of existing and alternative policy scenarios.

description: We investigated the distinction between two kinds of "Complexity equals Action"(CA) conjecture counting methods which are separately provided by Brown $ et\, al. $ and Lehner $et\, al.$ separately. For the late-time CA complexity growth rate, we show that the difference between two counting methods only comes from the boundary term of the segments on the horizon. However, both counting methods give the identical late-time result. Our proof is general, independent of the underlying theories of higher curvature gravity as well as the explicit stationary spacetime background. To be specific, we calculate the late-time action growth rate in SAdS black hole for F(Ricci) gravity, and show that these two methods actually give the same result. Moreover, by using the Iyer-Wald formalism, we find that the full action rate within the WDW patch can be expressed as some boundary integrations, and the final contribution only comes from the boundary on singularity. Although the definitions of the mass of black hole has been modified in F(Ricci) gravity, its late-time result has the same form with that of SAdS black hole in Einstein gravity.

Nobody remembers the losers : the story of Korean agricultural emigration to South America
Creators: name: Park, Hea-Jin
Publisher: name: Title page shows date as December 2013
Year: 2013

description: This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the official Korean immigration in South America. The beginning of this vibrant overseas Korean community was humble. The first group of 17 families travelled to Brazil to work in agriculture, and more Koreans with similar intentions followed suit to Brazil and other South American countries. Contrary to popular belief, early Korean agricultural emigration to South America was mainly organised and executed by interested individuals, emigration agents, private emigration agencies and even the Catholic Church. The intervention of the Korean government at this stage was minimal; only in mid-1970s, the Korean government too threw its hat in the ring of overseas agricultural migration. The government's participation lasted only a decade, during which five rural smallholdings were established in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. Whether privately organised or run by the Korean government, agricultural emigration to South America is widely known as a fiasco - money and time were wasted without any substantial outcome. However, it has rarely been asked why Korea needed an overseas agricultural migration in the first instance, who were behind the project, what the project was about and what happened to the migrants. This research is about the Korean agricultural emigration to South America. In this study I present the origins, development and demise of the Korean agricultural emigration to South America between 1960s and 1980s. This work draws information not only from existing literature and government materials but also from the experience of real and ordinary people who migrated to South America through the project over the years, in a hope to give voice to those who have been forgotten for decades.

description: Herein, we described a tunable method for synthesis of novel hollow mesoporous carbon (MPC) via direct pyrolysis (800oC) of MIL-53 (Fe) as a self-sacrificed template. The structural characterization revealed a hollow, amorphous, defective and mesoporous MPC along with high surface area (approx. 200 m2 g−1). For the experiments of ibuprofen adsorption onto MPC, effects of contact time, MPC dosage, ionic strength, concentration and temperature were systematically investigated. The optimal conditions consisted of pH = 3, concentration 10 mgl−1 and dose of 0.1 g l−1 for the highest ibuprofen removal efficiency up to 88.3% after 4 h. Moreover, adsorption behaviour, whereby chemisorption and monolayer controlled the uptake of ibuprofen over MPC, were assumed. Adsorption mechanisms including H-bonding, π–π interaction, metal–oxygen, electrostatic attraction were rigorously proposed. In comparison to several studies, the MPC nanocomposite in this work obtained the outstanding maximum adsorption capacity (206.5 mg g−1) and good reusability (5 cycles); thus, it can be used as a feasible alternative for decontamination of ibuprofen anti-inflammatory drug from water.

description: Orbit prediction and knowing its uncertainties is a key part in planning collision avoidance maneuvers or conducting re-entry estimations. For high accuracy forecasts numerical propagators are used. These propagators use force models to estimate the perturbing elements that affect a satellite's orbit. Especially on low Earth orbits (LEO) with decreasing perigee altitude the atmosphere becomes the dominating perturbing force. The available atmospheric models are complex in nature and react very sensitive to their input data. As with any model the atmospheric models also feature uncertainties. Because they heavily depend on the solar and geomagnetic activity, further uncertainty is introduced due to insufficient forecast capabilities of the solar and geomagnetic activity. The uncertainties introduced to the orbit prediction due to the atmospheric model's input parameters are investigated. The approach is to analyze the trajectory of different satellites, which are on different altitudes and inclinations. Using a numerical propagator a baseline is established applying observed solar and geomagnetic activity data of the past and estimate the satellites' orbit. Different types of solar and geomagnetic activity forecasts are used as implemented in the Orbital Spacecraft Active Removal (OSCAR) software, a tool of ESA's Debris Risk Assessment and Mitigation Analysis (DRAMA) software suite. The orbit prediction is repeated with the different solar and geomagnetic forecasts. The uncertainties of the orbit prediction as a result of the comparison to the baseline are shown.

description: This paper presents a numerical and experimental analysis of the patent of a device to be used in vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) under extreme wind conditions. The device consists of two hemispheres interconnected by a set of conveniently implemented variable section ducts through which the wind circulates to the blades. Furthermore, the design of the cross-section of the ducts allows the control of the wind speed inside the device. These ducts are intended to work as diffusers or nozzles, depending on the needs of the installation site. Simulations were performed for the case of high-speed external wind, for which the ducts act as diffusers to reduce wind speed and maintain a well-functioning internal turbine. Four different patent designs were analyzed, focusing on turbine performance and generated power. The results indicate that the patent allows the generation of electric power for a greater range of wind speeds than with a normal wind turbine. The results support that this patent may be a good alternative for wind power generation in geographic areas with extreme weather conditions or with maintained or strong gusty wind. Experimental tests were carried out on the movement of the blades using the available model. Finally, the power curve of the model of this wind turbine was obtained.

Commencement, continuation, cessation : a conceptual analysis of a set of Englsih and French verbs from an axiological point of view
Creators: name: Peeters, Bert
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1989
Subjects: natural semantic metalanguage, semantic primes, French, English, aspectual verbs

description: The aims of the present work are manifold and various. It has been the author’s intention to provide a contribution to the study of linguistic meaning by lightly adapting the methodology of conceptual analysis (i.e., Anna WIERZBICKA’S approach to semantics), and looking at it firm the point of view of axiology (i.e. Andre MARTINET’S approach to semantics); furthermore, to investigate the meaning of a set of verbs according to the methodology just referred to; finally, to indicate how conceptual axiology can promote the study of lexical relations (and, possibly, the study of translational adequacy as well). Part One, essentially, describes how conceptual axiology differs from conceptual analysis. One difference is that the former makes distinction between “formulas” and “glosses”: a formula reflects the meaning of a word in a particular syntactic frame (e.g., “X began to Y), whereas a gloss expresses the meaning of a word in a particular sentence (e.g. “John began to run”). A gloss, therefore is a “realised formula”. Formulas and glosses constitute a hypothesis of what speakers want to convey to their addressees. Another difference between conceptual axiology and conceptual analysis resides in the role that linguistic economy plays within the former. It is argued, among other things, that no two words can permanently have the same value (inherent economy of the language). Part Two is the “backbone” of the investigation. It applies the methodology of conceptual axiology to verbs denoting a commencement, a continuation, or a cessation in English and in French. Part Three provides a summary and an outlook. In the latter part, it is claimed that the empirical study of sixteen verbs undertaken in Part Two can, and as a matter of fact should, be enlarged to include all words denoting a commencement a continuation or a cessation. The result would be a study of what the author, in earlier publications, has called an axiological field. A few remarks on the possibility of checking translational adequacy conclude the dissertation. It is hoped that a more comprehensive study of this kind could eventually lead to the publication of new translations, which are better than the existing ones.
The spatial and temporal diffusion of museums in New York City, 1910-2010

description: The aim of this dissertation is to understand and analyze the museum location decision, defined as where museum founders choose to establish or relocate their institution. The empirical case is the museum population of New York City from 1910-2010. In three substantive chapters, I explore this complex decision process from the organizational-level, the population-level, and the audience-level. In the first chapter, I argue that the museum location decision has evolved over the past century, and has experienced three major paradigm shifts. Out of each era, a new model of the museum location decision has taken hold, resulting in the current organizational landscape. I demonstrate how these eras emerged through historical, comparative case studies of two New York museums, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. In second chapter, I show that the location decisions illustrated through the histories of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art are representative of New York's museum population overall. Using a dataset of all museums that have existed in New York City (and all of those museums' relocations), I chronicle the aggregated movements of the museum population between 1910 and 2010. I argue that the three eras of the museum location decision interacted with key demographic changes to create the unique distribution we observe today. The insights from these findings indicate that the spatial diffusion of museums in New York is systematically patterned in relation to demographic changes. The final substantive chapter is devoted to exploring the possibility that institutional location impacts audience composition. I argue that proximity to museums and other kinds of arts institutions is a significant, yet understudied determinant of attendance. The introduced concept of institutional exposure suggests that local access to arts institutions has cognitive, behavioral, and interactional consequences. Although directly testing the effect of institutional exposure is beyond the parameters of this dissertation, I show that there is a strong correlation between exposure and attendance. I illustrate the increasingly unequal access to arts between white and African American New Yorkers, which correlates highly with still-unexplained low attendance rates of African Americans. The observed evolution of the museum location decision explains when and how New York institutions adopted and then abandoned each institutionalized practice of museum location. In the Conclusion, I highlight several implications of this work, both of sociological theory and on current cultural policy.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence. Study investigates the effects of increasing cover crop diversity on pest control and natural enemies in vineyards. Design--------------------- Flower strips versus grassy strips are compared at pairs of plots located at the same site. The experiment is replicated across n = 9 sites located along a gradient of landscape complexity (i.e. proportion of semi natural habitat in a 1 km radius). Natural enemies were sampled at each plot using 3 sampling methods (pitfall traps, sweaping nets, and beating nets) targeting three different guilds of natural enemies (soil-, vegetation-, and vine-dwellers), at three distances from the flower or grassy strip (0, 15 and 30 m). Three sampling sessions were conducted (in June, August and September both years). Predation of eggs and larvae of Lobesia was measured using sentinel cards. Five cards were positioned at each sampling location (0, 15 and 30 m from flower or grassy strips). Five sessions were conducted (2 in July, 2 in August and 1 in September). The folder contains all the data associated with the project. Raw data are located in the Data folder, cleaned data are located in the Output folder. Also contains all the codes to replicate the analyses and figures presented in the paper.

By looking at the exit-time moments (Inverse Structure Functions) it is possible to have a direct measurement of scaling properties of the laminar statistics. It turns out that the Inverse Structure Functions show a much more extended Intermediate Dissipative Range than the Structure Functions, leading to the first clear evidence of the universal properties of such a range of scales.

description: Every country aims towards development particularly of its economy. Many of the early theories viewed industrialization as the key element in economic development as it was thought to provide high productivity, high capital and high technology, hence it promised high incomes. The history of the developed countries of today showed a close association between development and industrial expansion. Australia, Canada, USA, Sweden and other developed countries including the oil-exporting countries, for instance, have attained high standards of living based mainly on the production and export of food and raw materials, and/or in other terms, on the expansion of their industrial sector (WB Report, 1987). Hence, it was thought that the developing countries could follow what the developed countries have done.

description: The acceleration of thermal solar wind protons at spherical interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections is investigated. The solar wind velocity distribution is represented using $κ$-functions, which are transformed in response to simulated shock transitions in the fixed-frame flow speed, plasma number density, and temperature. These heated solar wind distributions are specified as source spectra at the shock from which particles with sufficient energy can be injected into the diffusive shock acceleration process. It is shown that for shock-accelerated spectra to display the classically expected power-law indices associated with the compression ratio, diffusion length scales must exceed the width of the compression region. The maximum attainable energies of shock-accelerated spectra are found to be limited by the transit times of interplanetary shocks, while spectra may be accelerated to higher energies in the presence of higher levels of magnetic turbulence or at faster-moving shocks. Indeed, simulations suggest fast-moving shocks are more likely to produce very high-energy particles, while strong shocks, associated with harder shock-accelerated spectra, are linked to higher intensities of energetic particles. The prior heating of the solar wind distribution is found to complement shock acceleration in reproducing the intensities of typical energetic storm particle events, especially where injection energies are high. Moreover, simulations of $\sim$0.2 to 1 MeV proton intensities are presented that naturally reproduce the observed flat energy spectra prior to shock passages. Energetic particles accelerated from the solar wind, aided by its prior heating, are shown to contribute substantially to intensities during energetic storm particle events.

description: There exists in literature an increasing interest in the study of mass distributions surrounding black holes as describing dark matter halo in spiral galaxies. Motivated by this interest, we study a very recent new class of rotating solutions that are suitable to build anisotropic matter sources surrounding rotating black holes. Contrary to the mainstream approach, instead of use the so called regular black holes as central objects, we perform a smooth matching between the aforementioned anisotropic matter and a central vacuum Kerr black hole. In this framework, we study in full generality energy conditions near the matching surface. As a result, we found that, after imposing the vanishing of the energy density $E$ at the matching surface, if weak and dominant energy conditions (WEC,DEC) are satisfied, then unavoidable strong energy conditions is violated, i.e. near the event horizon only matter with dark energy-like features is allowed. As an application, we present two solutions everywhere satisfying DEC. The first one is asymptotically flat and equipped with a non vanishing electric charge, while the second solution presented is equipped with a non-vanishing energy flow around the symmetry axis and it is not asymptotically flat

description: We investigate relevant deformation and the renormalization group flow in a defect conformal field theory from the point of view of the holography. We propose a candidate of g-function in the context of the holography, and prove the g-theorem: the g-function is monotonically non-increasing along the RG flow. We apply this g-theorem to the D5-brane solution which is an asymptotically AdS_4 x S^2 brane in AdS_5 x S^5. This solution corresponds to the mass deformation of the defect CFT. We checked that the g-function is monotonically non-increasing in this solution.

description: In the past few years, mobile devices have been increasingly replacing traditional computers as their capabilities such as CPU computation, memory, RAM size, and many more, are being enhanced almost to the level of conventional computers. These capabilities are being exploited by mobile apps developers to produce apps that offer more functionalities and optimized performance. To ensure acceptable quality and to meet their specifications (e.g., design), mobile apps need to be tested thoroughly. As the testing process is often tedious, test automation can be the key to alleviating such laborious activities. In the context of the Android-based mobile apps, researchers and practitioners have proposed many approaches to automate the testing process mainly on the creation of the test suite. Although useful, most existing approaches rely on reverse engineering a model of the application under test for test case creation. Often, such approaches exhibit a lack of comprehensiveness as the application model does not capture the dynamic behavior of the applications extensively due to the incompleteness of reverse engineering approaches. To address this issue, this paper proposes AMOGA, a strategy that uses a hybrid, static-dynamic approach for generating user interface model from mobile apps for model-based testing. AMOGA implements a novel crawling technique that uses the event list of UI element associated with each event to dynamically exercise the events ordering at the run-time to explore the applications' behavior. Results of the experimental assessment showed that AMOGA represents an alternative approach for model-based testing of mobile apps by generating comprehensive models to improve the coverage of the applications.

description: We point to a class of materials representing an exception to the Daltonian view that compounds maintain integer stoichiometry at low temperatures, because forming stoichiometry-violating defects cost energy. We show that carriers in the conduction band (CB) of degenerate insulators in Ca-Al-O, Ag-Al-O, or Ba-Nb-O systems can cause a self-regulating instability, whereby cation vacancies form exothermically because a fraction of the free carriers in the CB decay into the hole states formed by such vacancies, and this negative electron-hole recombination energy offsets the positive energy associated with vacancy bond breaking. This Fermi level-induced spontaneous non-stoichiometry can lead to the formation of crystallographically ordered vacancy compounds (OVCs), explaining the previously peculiar occurrence of unusual atomic sequences such as BalNbmOn with l:m:n ratios of 1:2:6, 3:5:15, or 9:10:30. This work has general ramifications as the degenerate insulators have found growing interests in many fields ranging from transparent conductors to electrides that are electron donating promotors for catalyst.

description: As our physical environments become ever-more connected, instrumented and automated, it can be increasingly difficult for users to understand what is happening within them and why. This warrants attention; with the pervasive and physical nature of the IoT comes risks of data misuse, privacy, surveillance, and even physical harm. Such concerns come amid increasing calls for more transparency surrounding technologies (in general), as a means for supporting scrutiny and accountability.
 This paper explores the practical dimensions to transparency mechanisms within the consumer IoT. That is, we consider how smart homes might be made more meaningfully transparent, so as to support users in gaining greater understanding, oversight, and control. Through a series of three user-centric studies, we (i) survey prospective smart home users to gain a general understanding of what meaningful transparency within smart homes might entail; (ii) identify categories of user-derived requirements and design elements (design features for supporting smart home transparency) that have been created through two co-design workshops; and (iii) validate these through an evaluation with an altogether new set of participants. In all, these categories of requirements and interface design elements provide a foundation for understanding how meaningful transparency might be achieved within smart homes, and introduces several wider considerations for doing so.

The spatial distribution of cortical interneurons: the role of clustered protocadherins

description: The spatial patterning of neurons is a fundamental problem in neuroscience. The functions of the brain are rooted in the cellular architecture that underlies the structure of the brain. In the cerebral cortex, the functions of the cortex depend on the proper assembly of circuits made up of long-range excitatory neurons and locally-projecting inhibitory interneurons. Interneurons are incredibly diverse from a morphological and functional perspective and are found in every cortical area. Unlike excitatory cortical neurons, interneurons are born outside of the cortex and migrate long distances into the cortex and distribute across the cortex broadly. How do these diverse cells that essentially invade the cortex properly distribute? How do different developmental stages contribute to the final patterning of interneuron subtypes, and what are the molecules that influence this process? In this dissertation, I will present my original research which has advanced our knowledge of the answers to these fundamental questions in the field of developmental neuroscience. I addressed these questions by applying a range of techniques including mouse genetics, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, and point pattern analysis. My research has shown that cortical interneuron subtypes are spatially independent. Spatial patterns of cortical interneuron subtypes are non-random within subtypes, but are randomly positioned with respect to other subtypes. I also explored the effects of loss of diversity within the clustered protocadherin family of adhesion molecules. Though these molecules do not appear to play a role in subtype specific spatial independence, I found that loss of clustered protocadherin diversity alters the density and laminar distribution of cortical interneuron subtypes. I also contributed to the development of genetic tools which could help us further understand how developmental stages contribute to final interneuron distribution. My original research has collectively advanced our knowledge of how cortical interneurons achieve their final distributions during development and has opened up new avenues of scientific inquiry for future research in developmental neuroscience.
Gravitational perturbations of a Kerr black hole in $f(R)$ gravity

description: Modified theories of gravity are often built such that they contain general relativity as a limiting case. This inclusion property implies that the Kerr metric is common to many families of theories. For example, all analytic $f(R)$ theories with vanishing constant term admit the Kerr solution. In any given theory, however, the response of the gravitational field to astrophysical disturbances is tied to the structure of the field equations. As such, even if black holes are Kerr, the underlying theory can, in principle, be probed through gravitational distortions. In this paper, we study linear perturbations of a Kerr black hole in $f(R)$ gravity using the Newman-Penrose formalism. We show that, as in general relativity, the equations governing the perturbed metric, which depend on the quadratic term of the function $f$, completely decouple.

description: The dynamics of closed scalar field FRW cosmological models is studied for several types of exponentially and more than exponentially steep potentials. The parameters of scalar field potentials which allow a chaotic behaviour are found from numerical investigations. It is argued that analytical studies of equation of motion at the Euclidean boundary can provide an important information about the properties of chaotic dynamics. Several types of transition from chaotic to regular dynamics are described.

description: The case study in the following chapters has been inspired by both anthropology and Asian studies as interdisciplinary area studies. It is a study of the way in which the Other (the local people's lives and culture or the ’hosts') is represented in relation to the meaning system of the Self (tourists1 or ’guests’) in the limited context of tourism. This is studied through the representation of'Indonesia' in Japanese travel brochures, paying particular attention to the the relationship between the self-image of Japanese and the way in which they construct the Other.
