description: This thesis explores aspects of identity, gender and race in the narratives of six white women who wrote about their experiences with Australian Aborigines. Five of the works relate to nineteenth-century frontier encounters, described by middle-class, genteel women who had travelled to distant locations. The sixth (colonial-born) woman wrote about life in outback Queensland in both the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Her perceptions and opinions act as a foil to the five other texts, written by British-born authors. My analysis of these works takes into account current colonial racial attitudes and the nineteenth-century utilitarian urge to "educate". It involves discussion of the influences during the nineteenth century of the Enlightenment idea of "man's place in nature", of evangelical Christianity and the role of underlying notions of race based on scientific theories. All these aspects inform the women's works, directly or indirectly. While reflecting ideas about Aborigines expressed in male colonial narratives, these female writers deal with their relationship with Aborigines from a woman's perspective. I have researched the women's social and economic backgrounds in order to investigate biographical factors which lay behind their racial views and perceptions. The thesis explores the influences of publishers requirements and reader expectations on the way Aborigines were represented in published works. The writerâ€™s need to entertain her audience, as well as to "educate" them, often led her to incorporate the traits and language of popular literary trends. Two of these were English Victorian romantic fiction, and the "ripping yarn" adventure narrative, popular from the late nineteenth century. The incorporation of these literary genres often resulted in conflicting messages, and a confused and ambivalent rendition of Aborigines. Within the dynamics of the male power structure at the frontier, these selected female narratives offer another perspective on interracial relations. The six texts refer to the fractious climate of colonisation. They are told by women mostly constrained within the expectations of ladylike decorum and often strongly influenced by the abiding literary contexts of the nineteenth century. What the writings show is that as women grew to know Indigenous people as individuals, representations of Indigenous humanity, agency and authority replace racial cliches and stereotypes, and literary imperatives.

description: Since its introduction, television has been the main channel of investment for advertisements in order to influence customers purchase behavior. Many have attributed the mere exposure effect as the source of influence in purchase intention and purchase decision; however, most of the studies of television advertisement effects are not only outdated, but their sample size is questionable and their environments do not reflect reality. With the advent of the internet, social media and new information technologies, many recent studies focus on the effects of online advertisement, meanwhile, the investment in television advertisement still has not declined. In response to this, we applied machine learning algorithms SVM and XGBoost, as well as Logistic Regression, to construct a number of prediction models based on at-home advertisement exposure time and demographic data, examining the predictability of Actual Purchase and Purchase Intention behaviors of 3000 customers across 36 different products during the span of 3 months. If models based on exposure time had unreliable predictability in contrast to models based on demographic data, doubts would surface about the effectiveness of the hard investment in television advertising. Based on our results, we found that models based on advert exposure time were consistently low in their predictability in comparison with models based on demographic data only, and with models based on both demographic data and exposure time data. We also found that there was not a statistically significant difference between these last two kinds of models. This suggests that advert exposure time has little to no effect in the short-term in increasing positive actual purchase behavior.

T y p e m a t e r i a l Holotype, Sabah, Danum Valley, B.R.L., f.i.t., 14-16.II.2007, G. de Rougemont leg. (CROU).
D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 1.66 mm. body shiny, brown, elytra blackish-brown with base yellow, abdomen blackish-brown with the two basal free tergites, base of the third and pygidium yellow; antennae brown with the two basal antennomeres yellow, apex of the eleventh dirty yellow, legs yellow. Second antennomere as long as the first, third shorter than the second, fourth as long as wide, fifth to tenth antennomeres transverse. Eyes a little longer than the postocular region in dorsal view. Reticulation of the head superficial, that of the pronotum absent, that of the elytra slightly evident, that of the abdomen evident and irregularly polygonal. Puncturation of the head very superficial and clear. Granulation of the pronotum dense and fine, that of the elytra very superficial, also fine, that of the abdomen superficial, except near the posterior margin of all free tergites on which the granules are salient. Male fifth free abdominal tergite elongate with dense granules. Aedeagus: Figs 80-81.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: In the presence of an acute ventral lamina of the aedeagus, the new species is similar to both P. borneensis PACE, 2007 and to P. kinabaluensis PACE, 2007, both from Borneo. The new species is distinct from P. borneensis in the strongly transverse intermediary antennomeres, which are only slightly transverse in P. borneensis, in the aedeagus, which is smaller and devoid of an apical flagellum (apical flagellum present in P. borneensis) and in the rectilinear ventral appendix of the aedeagus, which is sinuate in P. borneensis. The new species is distinguished from P. kinabaluensis by its brown abdomen with yellowish-red pygidium, (abdomen uniformly dirty yellow in P. kinabaluensis), and by the rectilinear ventral appendix of the aedeagus, which is curved in P. kinabaluensis.
E t y m o l o g y: The new species is dedicated to its collector, our colleague, the staphylinid specialist Guillaume de Rougemont.

description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global killer, causing more than 17 million deaths in 2015. People living in regional areas fare worse when it comes to health. CVD is largely preventable, with changes in key health behaviours such as diet and exercise having profound effects on lowering CVD risk. A person's beliefs concerning their ability to change behaviours and any subsequent impact on their health may also be important. The aim of this thesis was to explore the associations between health beliefs, behaviours and cardiovascular health in the context of a 12-month nurse-led lifestyle intervention program in a regional population.

Development of linear measurement
Creators: name: Vine, Kenneth William Anthony
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1983

description: The study had two objectives. The first was to identify the higher level knowledge necessary for a child to understand linear measurement. The second was to chart the growth of linear measurement in terms of the development of its components. In this context, higher-level knowledge refers to skills such as counting an array of objects, as distinct from 'lower-level' skills such as attending to an object in an array. An analysis of measurement operations yielded a list of components which it was argued would underlie linear measurement. Piagetian theory and related empirical literature were consulted as sources of information on the emergence of these components in the child's thinking. This led to the formulation of a number of predictions concerning the components of linear measurement, and their order of emergence. A battery of 34 number, length, and distance tasks was developed to assess the presence of these components. It was administered to 100 children aged between 63 and 78 months, and drawn from kindergarten and grade one. The results were analyzed using scalogram techniques. The main contribution of the thesis is in this empirical work. It was found that children who possessed a nature level of understanding of linear measurement also possessed the following: Knowing how to make transitive inferences of equivalence, with respect to discrete quantity, and length. Knowing that the numerosity of an array of objects is invariant under certain transformations (the conservation of number}. Knowing that length is invariant under certain transformations (the conservation of length). Knowing how to carry out numerical addition operations. Knowing how to obtain a linear measurement by counting iterations of a unit of length. Knowing how to make transitive inferences of non-equivalence ,with respect to discrete quantity. There appeared to be a substantial developmental delay between acquisition of these components and emergence of a mature grasp of linear measurement. It was also found that the collections of components for the number and length domains formed scaled sets. However, within each domain the pattern of development was marked by discontinuities (abrupt changes in the slopes of the task performance gradients). It was suggested that the discontinuities might be due to differences in short-term-memory (STM) demands made by tasks which differed significantly in difficulty. An information-processing analysis, using Pascual­ Leone's M-Space Model, did not confirm this. A production-system analysis of certain of the number tasks also failed to reveal differences in demands made on STM by tasks differing in difficulty. The discontinuities in development were interpreted as being associated with the need to re-organise number and length concepts. Length of schooling, but not age, was found to be a predictor of performance on the task battery. No sex differences were found.

 Iridosornis dubusia ignicapillus Chapman, 1915b: 656 (Andes west of Popayan (10,340 ft.), Colombia).
 Now Iridosornis rufivertex ignicapillus Chapman, 1915. See Hellmayr, 1936: 177, Zimmer, 1944: 1–2, Isler and Isler, 1999: 216–218, and Dickinson, 2003: 809.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 110204, adult male, collected in the Andes, 10340 ft, west of Popayan, 02.27N, 76.36W (Paynter, 1997), Cauca, Colombia, on 16 July 1911, by W.B. Richardson.
 COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and said that he had a type series of 19 specimens. The 18 paratypes are: Colombia, Andes west of Popayan, AMNH 110200–110203, 110205–110211, five males, five females, one sex?; Almaguer, AMNH 117333–117338, four males, two females; Ecuador, Loja, AMNH 130474, male. Of these, AMNH 110201, 110209, 117334, and 117336 were exchanged to O. Bangs in September 1918 and are probably in MCZ; AMNH 110200 and 110205 were exchanged to BMNH in May 1921; AMNH 110211 and 117337 were exchanged to USNM; AMNH 117333 was exchanged to the Rothschild Collection in May 1921 and when that collection came to AMNH in 1932, it was renumbered AMNH 513717. I did not find AMNH 110202 and 117338 in the collection and they may have been exchanged without the catalog having been marked.

Eremitism in China to 220 A.D.
Creators: name: Vervoorn, Aat Emile
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984

description: Eremitism in China was a product of the socio-political and intellectual changes of the late Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. The basic philosophical presuppositions of eremitism, relating to individual moral choice and autonomy, were first formulated by Confucius, although there existed certain ideas, practices and individuals before him that can be regarded as having prefigured eremitism. During the Warring States period a wide range of philosophies of eremitism developed, philosophies based on varying premises and aspiring to ideals which frequently were antithetical. With the unification of China, first by the Qin dynasty and then by the Han, the socio-political context in which eremitic ideas had to operate changed drastically; the implications of virtuous withdrawal were more serious when there was no longer a choice of rulers to serve. Hence although what evidence there is indicates that most varieties of eremitism continued to flourish throughout the Han period, in the first hundred years of the dynasty there was little Confucian timely eremitism. However, from that time on a new type of eremitism began to develop, which in the Later Han period became highly fashionable. This was Confucian exemplary eremitism, which was a major element in the scholarly culture generated by the imperial backing of Confucianism and the operation of the recommendatory system for official appointments. The social and political standing of hermits also rose as a result of Wang Mang's policy of honouring worthy men in order to establish the legitimacy of his claim to the throne, a policy which was Political events towards continued by the emperors of the Later Han. the end of the Han - particularly the Great Proscription - resulted in hermits gaining even further social and political prestige and influence, and by 220 A.D. most of the major characteristics of the Chinese eremitic tradition had been established.

description: By exact diagonalization, we investigate several spin-$\frac 12$ $J_1-J_2$ real clusters of molecular scale with different shapes. Our calculations show that when the ratio, $η$, of next nearest neighbor to nearest neighbor bonds is equal to 1, even the cluster of only 25 sites exhibits the bulk behaviors and has the quantum phase transitions. Two effective critical points are around $J_2/J_1=0.3762$ and 0.612 respectively. They are very close to those of the infinite $J_1-J_2$ square lattice. But, when $η\leq 0.85$, the quantum phase transition around $J_2/J_1=0.3762$ disappears. By calculating the distributions of the average values of $S_i^z$, the bulk behaviors are demonstrated graphically. In the intermediate phase, the sites on the corners have distinctly different character from the other sites. The distribution is obviously centralized on the corner sites.

Desert camps: a case study of stone artefacts and Aboriginal behaviour in the Western Desert
Creators: name: Cane, Scott
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984

description: This thesis attempts to ascertain what aspects of the behaviour of a hunter gatherer society can be interpreted from a study of stone tools. It is set in the northern part of the Western Desert among a traditional group of Gugadja/Pintubi speaking Aborigines. In pursuit of this goal the thesis presents a case study of the traditional environmental, social and economic characteristics of these Aborigines. It also employs the technique of seeking the Aborigines’ view of their Own technology and thus defines the functions of stone tools used in the region during the past. The proportional variation in these traditionally defined categories of artefacts at different camp sites are examined and compared to a series of predictive statements derived from Aboriginal testimony of site use regarding the proportion of stone tools which should be found at sites if stone tools do provide an accurate and reliable indication of Aboriginal behaviour. Anomalies in the distribution of these artefacts are discussed and the various aspects of Aboriginal behaviour which can be inferred from a study of stone tools are defined.

description: Rational design of novel two-dimensional (2D) electrode materials with high capacity is crucial for the further development of Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Herein, based on first-principles calculations, we systemically investigate Li and Na storage behaviors in the recently discovered 2D topological nodal-loop metal - the honeycomb borophene oxide (h-B2O). We show that h-B2O is an almost ideal anode material. It has good conductivity before and after Li/Na adsorption, fast ion diffusion with diffusion barrier less than 0.5 eV, low open-circuit voltage (less than 1 V), and small lattice change (less than 6.2%) during intercalation. Most remarkably, its theoretical storage capacity is extremely high, reaching up to 2137 mAh/g for Li and 1425 mAh/g for Na. Its Li storage capacity is more than six times higher than graphite (372 mAh/g), and is actually the highest among all 2D materials discovered to date. Our results strongly suggest that 2D h-B2O is an exceedingly promising anode material for both Li- and Na-ion batteries with super high capacity.

description: The present study aimed to detect the bioactive metabolites from Ocimum forskolei aerial parts which are responsible for the antiulcer activity of the total ethanol extract (TEE) as well as different fractions (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and aqueous). Six flavonoids were isolated from the dichloromethane fraction which was the most potent; with an ulcer index value of 2.67 ± 2.18*** and % inhibition of ulcer of 97.7%; following a bioassay-guided fractionation. The isolated flavonoids were subjected to molecular docking analysis in an attempt to explain their significant antiulcer potential, and the results revealed that salvitin followed by sideritiflavone were the main active ones acting against M3 and H-2 receptors, respectively. Moreover, a molecular dynamics simulation illustrated the formation of two persistent H-bonds between salvitin and the two amino acids of the active site (Asn507 and Asp147) formed in 42 and 65% of the frames, respectively.

description: Low temperature specific heat $C(T)$ and zero-field muon spin resonance ($μ^+$SR) measurements were performed in Gd(hfac)$_3$NITiPr, a quasi one-dimensional molecular magnet with competing nearest neighbor and next-nearest neighbor intrachain exchange interactions. The specific heat data exhibit a $λ$-peak at $T_0$=2.08$\pm$0.01K that disappears upon the application of a 5 Tesla magnetic field. Conversely, the $μ^+$SR data do not present any anomaly at $T\approx 2$ K, proving the lack of divergence of the two-spin correlation function as required for usual three-dimensional (3D) long range helical order. Moreover, no muon spin precession can be evinced from the $μ^+$SR asimmetry curves, thus excluding the presence of a long range ordered magnetic lattice. These results provide indications for a low $T$ phase where chiral order is established in absence of long range helical order.

Aboriginality: the affirmation of cultural identity in settled Australia
Creators: name: Carter, Julie D
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984

description: Aboriginal identity in settled Australia has been a largely neglected area of research. This neglect in interest and attention is partly the consequence of entrenched administrative and public views of Aborigines as 'acculturated' people dispossessed (through historical circumstances) of their cultural identity. Few enquiries have been made as to whether this is, in fact, an accurate assessment. Nor has the assumption that cultural identity is distinguished primarily by definitive signifiers, such as language, religion and social organisation, been challenged. This thesis examines the nature of Aboriginal cultural identity arguing that there is evidence for cultural discreteness - Aboriginality - despite some problematic entailments in Aboriginal social identity. The dilemmas of Aboriginal social identity begin with socialization. Children internalize their Aboriginal world in the context of socialization with a discrete Aboriginal context and amongst close kin. The harmony of this world is disrupted during secondary socialization when the Australian community's general devaluing of Aboriginality is evident. Coping with such disjunctions inclines people to believe and uphold an identity synonymous with an ideology of Aboriginality. But simultaneously, the conditions of Aboriginality foster other problems of identity. With significant kin obligations and relationships as the principal influences of social life, people constantly face difficulties of self/other differentiation and problems of marking off private space, thought and desire from the public, communal and kinship realm.

The experiment is based on calculated light travel times along orthogonal directions in the Schwarzschild metric of the Galactic center. We show that the difference is proportional to the Galactic mass. We apply the result to light travel times in a 10cm Michelson type interferometer located on Earth. The mass of the Galactic center is shown to contribute 10^-6 to the flat space component of the metric. An experiment is proposed to measure the effect.

description: In order to achieve the application of shape memory hydrogel (SMH), the hydrogel must be simple in design, adjustable in mechanical properties, and easy to achieve in shape memory properties. In the article, triple SMHs were fabricated by simple method with adjustable mechanical properties. The triple SMH including coordination bond between sodium alginate and Fe3+, the dynamic borate ester bonds, and hydrogen bond of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were designed to memorize temporary shapes.

description: We construct Chern-Simons gravities in $(2+1)$-dimensional space-time considering the Stringy Galilei algebra both with and without non-central extensions. In the first case, there is an invariant and non-degenerate bilinear form, however, the field equations do not allow to express the spin connections in terms of the dreibeins. In the second case, there is no invariant non-degenerate bilinear form. Therefore, in both cases, we do not have an ordinary gravity theory. Instead, if we consider the stringy Newton-Hooke algebra with extensions as gauge group we have an invariant non-degenerate metric and from the field equations, we express the spin connections in terms of the geometric fields.

description: Spatial and temporal noise power spectra of stripe patterns are investigated, using as a model a Swift-Hohenberg equation with a stochastic term. In particular, the analytical and numerical investigations show: 1) the temporal noise spectra are of 1/f^alpha form, where alpha=1+(3-D)/4 with D the spatial dimension of the system; 2) that the stochastic fluctuations of the stripe position are sub-diffusive.

description: Purpose: Multidisciplinary care (MDC) encourages multiple specialists to formulate a unified treatment plan. We sought to determine the frequency and predictors of MDC and assess the association between MDC and nationally-recognized quality metrics in patients with breast cancer. Methods: We used the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results-medicare dataset to evaluate patients diagnosed with stages I–III breast cancer who underwent breast-conserving surgery between 2002 and 2011 with follow-up to 2012. We defined MDC as a visit claim from a surgeon, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist within 12 months of diagnosis. We used multivariable regression analysis to determine the association between demographic and clinical variables and MDC, and to assess the association between MDC and three nationally-recognized quality indicators (adjuvant hormone therapy for hormone receptor-positive tumors, chemotherapy for hormone receptor-negative cancer, and radiation after lumpectomy). Results: Of the 61,039 patients in our initial cohort, 53,849 (88.2%) saw a medical oncologist, 46,521 (76.2%) saw a radiation oncologist, and 43,280 (70.9%) were evaluated by all three providers the first year after diagnosis. MDC use was higher in patients with the highest socioeconomic status compared with the lowest [odds ratio (OR) 1.74, 95% CI 1.63–1.86], in patients diagnosed in later years, and those with stage III disease compared to stage I [OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.19–1.41]. Patients older in age (≥80 vs. 65–69 years, OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.31–0.34), patients with more comorbidities, those who lived in a rural setting compared to urban (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.57–0.64), and unmarried patients (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.76–0.82) were less likely to see all three providers. In a multivariable analysis, MDC use was associated with increased likelihood of meeting each quality metric. Conclusion: Early stage breast cancer patients were evaluated by a surgeon, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist less than 75% of the time. Enhanced coordination of care and navigation programs may improve the quality of care delivered.

description: Effects of externally applied resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) on the locked mode of neo-classical tearing mode (NTM) are numerically investigated by means of a set of reduced magnetohydrodynamic equations. It is found that for a small bootstrap current fraction, three regimes, namely slight suppression regime, small locked island (SLI) regime and big locked island (BLI) regime, are discovered with the increase of RMP strength. For a much higher bootstrap current fraction, however, a new oscillation regime appears instead of the SLI regime, although the other regimes still remain. The physical process in each regime is analyzed in detail based on the phase difference between NTM and RMP. Moreover, the critical values of RMP in both SLI and BLI regimes are obtained, and their dependence on key plasma parameters is discussed as well.

On the design of stabilizing cycles for switched linear systems

description: Given a family of systems, identifying stabilizing switching signals in terms of infinite walks constructed by concatenating cycles on the underlying directed graph of a switched system that satisfy certain conditions, is a well-known technique in the literature. This paper deals with a new {method to design} these cycles for stability of switched linear systems. We employ properties of the subsystem matrices and mild assumption on the admissible switches between the subsystems {for this purpose}. In contrast to prior works, {our construction of} stabilizing cycles does not involve design of Lyapunov-like functions and storage of sets of scalars in memory prior to the application of a cycle detection algorithm. As a result, {the} techniques {proposed in this paper} offer improved numerical tractability.

description: We study the effect of noise-enhanced stability of periodically driven metastable states in a system described by piecewise linear potential. We find that the growing of the average escape time with the intensity of the noise is depending on the initial condition of the system. We analytically obtain the condition for the noise enhanced stability effect and verify it by numerical simulations.

description: A quaternary compound Bi3O2S2Cl, which consists of novel [BiS2Cl]2-layers, is reported. It adopts a layered structure of the space group I4/mmm (No. 139) with lattice parameters: a = 3.927(1) Å, c = 21.720(5) Å. In this compound, bismuth and chlorine atoms form an infinite planar layer, which is unique among the bismuth halides. Superconductivity is observed in both polycrystals and single crystals, and is significantly enhanced in the samples prepared with less sulfur or at higher temperatures. By tuning the content of sulfur, Bi3O2S2Cl can be converted from a semiconductor into a superconductor. The superconducting critical temperature ranges from 2.6 K to 3.5 K. Our discovery of the [BiS2Cl]2- layer opens another door in searching for the bismuth compounds with novel physical properties.

D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 2.57-2.65 mm. Body shiny, yellowish-brown, elytra brown, antennae brown with the three basal antennomeres dirty yellow, eleventh blackish-brown with apex yellowish-brown; legs yellow. Second antennomere shorter than the first, third as long as the second, fourth, eighth, ninth and tenth strongly transverse, fifth and sixth as long as wide, seventh transverse. Eyes shorter than the postocular region in dorsal view. Reticulation present only on frons, reticulation of the pronotum superficial, that of the elytra evident, absent on the abdomen. Puncturation of the head fine, evident and very superficial. Granulation of the pronotum fine and very superficial, that of the elytra salient and dense, that of the abdomen very salient, also dense. Lateral impression on the pronotum. Aedeagus: Figs 83-84, spermatheca: Fig. 82.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The habitus of the new species is similar to that of D. borneensis PACE, 2004, also from Borneo, but in the new species the temples are divergent posteriorly. The aedeagus of the new species is clearly different, both in its shape and in the internal sclerotised pieces. There are two long lamina at the base of the flagellum in the aedeagus of the new species, which are absent in the aedeagus of D. borneensis.
E t y m o l o g y: The new species takes its name from Sabah.

description: Rough surface effect on the Meissner diamagnetic current in the normal layer of proximity contact N-S bi-layer is investigated in the clean limit. The diamagnetic current and the screening length are calculated by use of quasi-classical Green's function. We show that the surface roughness has a sizable effect, even when a normal layer width is large compared with the coherence length $ξ=v_{\rm F}/πT_{\rm c}$. The effect is as large as that of the impurity scattering and also as that of the finite reflection at the N-S interface.

Buddhadasa and doctrinal modernisation in contemporary Thai Buddhism : a social and philosophical analysis
Creators: name: Jackson, Peter Anthony
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986

description: Phra Buddhadasa Bhikkhu is without doubt the most controversial and the most innovative interpreter of Buddhist doctrine and teachings in contemporary Thailand. Buddhadasa has devoted his life to a systematic and thorough reinterpretation of the entire body of Theravada Buddhist teachings, with the explicit goal of revealing the relevance of the Buddha’s message to men and women living in the modern world. However, a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of his total re-interpretative system requires more than simply a philosophical study of Buddhist doctrines and theoretical teachings. Because of the social and political role of institutional Buddhism in Thailand, and because of the importance of his work to educated and progressive Thai laypeople, the sources, motivations and aims of Buddhadasa’s ideas can only be fully detailed when their extra-religious social and political influences are also considered. That is, Buddhadasa’s systematic re-interpretation of Buddhist teachings should firstly be understood in terms of its relation to the history of doctrinal interpretation and Buddhist studies in Thailand. But this theoretical analysis should at the same time be complemented by an appreciation of the social context of Buddhadasa’s reforms, and the critical as well as supportive responses to his work from the various sections of Thai society. Only when Buddhadasa’s doctrinal reformation of Theravada Buddhism is appreciated as being both a theoretical and a sociological phenomenon can its significance in contemporary Thailand be fully appreciated.
