Continuity of the Solution Maps for Generalized Parametric Set-Valued Ky Fan Inequality Problems

Under new assumptions, we provide suffcient conditions for the (upper and lower) semicontinuity and continuity of the solution mappings to a class of generalized parametric set-valued Ky Fan inequality problems in linear metric space. These results extend and improve some known results in the literature (e.g., Gong, 2008; Gong and Yoa, 2008; Chen and Gong, 2010; Li and Fang, 2010). Some examples are given to illustrate our results

Kajian Tekstual Gending Leluangan Kekebyaran Dalam Upacara Piodalan Di Pura Kayangan Tiga Desa Adat Tembawu

Gending-gending leluangan merupakan sebuah motif lagu atau gending yang biasa dimainkan dengan menggunakan gamelan luang atau gong luang. Ciri khas dari lagu ini adalah menggunakan 1 buah kendang yaitu kendang cedugan, sebuah kendang yang menggunakan panggul (Jawa : tabuh) kendang sebagai alat pukul. Mayoritas pola garap gending-gending leluangan sangat sederhana baik secara olahan melodi maupun tafsir garap ornamentasinya. Reportoar-reportoar gong luang termasuk gending-gending klasik yang notabenanya digunakan untuk kepentingan upacara ritual keagamaan. Kekebyaran berasal dari kata kebyar yang mengandung banyak pengertian. Kebyar atau byar dapat berarti sinar yang muncul secara tiba-tiba, cepat, keras, dan lain sejenisnya[1]. Kebyar dapat pula berarti bunyi yang timbul akibat dari pukulan instrumen gamelan secara keseluruhan, sedangkan Colin McPhee menyebutnya sebagai suara yang memecah secara tiba-tiba bagaikan pecah atau mekarnya sekuntum bunga[2]. Oleh karena itu sudah sepantasnya gamelan yang mengandung karakter kebyar ini disebut gamelan kebyar, gong kebyar, atau gamelan gong kebyar. Dengan demikian kekebyaran memiliki arti sebuah lagu yang menggunakan gong kebyar sebagai media ungkap. Sajian gending yang menggunakan gong kebyar memiliki karakterisasi keras, lincah agresif, dan sejenisnya.[3] Popularitas dan fleksibilitas gamelan gong kebyar menyebabkan refortoar dari barungan gamelan gong luang juga bisa disajikan melalui gong kebyar. Tentu saja karakter gending yang disajikan akan berbeda dengan gending yang disajikan melalui gong luang. Gending-gending leluangan yang menggunakan gong kebyar sebagai media ungkap memiliki nuansa gembira. Namun demikian, nuansa-nuansa ritual yang terkandung dalam gending-gending leluangan tidak hilang

Gong Lum v. Rice: The Convergence of Law, Race and Ethnicity

In the constitutional case of Gong Lum v. Rice (1927), the United States Supreme Court, composed entirely of Bok Guey (whites), adjudged Hon Yen (Chinese) to be in the same social classification as Lo Mok (blacks).[1] The case, which pertained to racially segregated schools, reveals the problematic of law, race, and ethnicity

Qigong, Falun Gong, et la religion de l’État moderne chinois

Depuis 1999, le conflit, très médiatisé, entre l’État chinois et le Falun Gong a été souvent interprété selon les termes d’un débat bien connu en Occident, et en particulier sur le continent nord-américain : un débat qui oppose ceux qui, d’un côté, veulent défendre l’ordre social contre le danger de « cultes » ou « sectes », à ceux qui, de l’autre, veulent défendre la liberté de croyance et les « nouveaux mouvements religieux ». Le but du présent texte est de replacer ce débat dans un contexte spécifiquement chinois pour comprendre la signification donnée, au cours du vingtième siècle, aux concepts de religion, de superstition ou d’héterodoxie. Notre argumentation repose sur l’idée que la définition de religion adoptée par l’État chinois à partir du début du vingtième siècle, une définition calquée sur celle alors usitée en Occident, cadre très mal avec le fait religieux tel qu’il s’exprime dans l’espace chinois. Sans tenir compte de cette inadéquation, il devient difficile de comprendre à la fois la montée extraordinaire du qigong et du Falun Gong et la campagne de supression de ce dernier.Since 1999, the highly mediatized conflict between the Chinese State and the Falun Gong has often been interpreted according to the terms of a debate well known in the West, and especially on the North American continent that opposes those who, on the one hand, wish to defend the social order against the danger of ‘cults’ or ‘sects,’ against those who, on the other, wish to defend the freedom of belief and the ‘new religious movements.’ The aim of the present paper is to situate this debate within a specifically Chinese context in order to understand the significance given, during the 20th century, to the concepts of religion, superstition or heterodoxy. Our argument is based on the idea that the definition of religion adopted by the Chinese State in the early 20th century, a definition copied from the one prevailing in the West, does not conform well with the religious situation as expressed in China. Unless this discrepancy is taken into consideration, both the extraordinary rise of the qigong and Falun Gong and the campaign to suppress the latter become difficult to understand.Desde 1999, el conflicto muy mediatizado, entre el Estado chino y el Falun Gong ha sido a menudo interpretado según los términos como se comprende un debate en Occidente, y en particular sobre el continente norteamericano : un debate que opone a los que, por una parte, quieren defender el orden social contra el peligro de “cultos” o de “sectas”, y a los que, por otra parte, quieren defender la libertad de creencia y los “nuevos movimientos religiosos”. El objetivo del presente texto es poner de nuevo este debate en un contexto específicamente chino para comprender el significado otorgado, durante el siglo XX, a los conceptos de religión, superstición o heterodoxia. Nuestra argumentación se basa en la idea que la definición de religión adoptada por el Estado chino a partir del principio del siglo XX, una definición copiada sobre la entonces empleada en Occidente, encaja muy mal con el hecho religioso tal como se expresa en el espacio chino. Sin tener en cuenta esta inadecuación, se vuelve entonces difícil comprender a la vez la subida extraordinaria del qigong y del Falun Gong y la campaña de supresión de este último

Surrogate Brands - The pull to adopt an ‘Other’ nation; via sports merchandise

A growing number of consumers are choosing to wear sporting merchandise, from an ‘other’ nation – whom they have no geographic or ethnic affiliation with. In addition, nation sports branding appears to have scaled pandemic heights; by reaching fever pitch, when actively carrying its message across boarders. Consumer preferences are being driven past simple behavioural characteristics; towards more transient psychographic and emotional constructs. In short, nation branded sporting uniform is no longer viewed as demanding restrictive monogamous loyalty. Ownership of a uniform largely suggests exclusivity and encouraged competition. However, manufactures, national teams, athletes and sponsors are entering symbiotic brand relationships - where they are actively seeking publics, open to multiple adopted nationalities. This phenomenon draws consumers towards embracing temporal national identities, which are converted into an over-arching cross-border identity; ultimately gifting sports brands more significance. The following paper explores consumers’ entry into relationships with another nation, in preference to their own - in manner that has been likened to a form of surrogacy; by the authors. The aim is to stimulate further thinking in a field; which transcends national and cultural boundaries - in the interests of developing new insight, and to provide a platform for marketers to develop more effective communication

Seismic Emissions from a Highly Impulsive M6.7 Solar Flare

On 10 March 2001 the active region NOAA 9368 produced an unusually impulsive solar flare in close proximity to the solar limb. This flare has previously been studied in great detail, with observations classifying it as a type 1 white-light flare with a very hard spectrum in hard X-rays. The flare was also associated with a type II radio burst and coronal mass ejection. The flare emission characteristics appeared to closely correspond with previous instances of seismic emission from acoustically active flares. Using standard local helioseismic methods, we identified the seismic signatures produced by the flare that, to date, is the least energetic (in soft X-rays) of the flares known to have generated a detectable acoustic transient. Holographic analysis of the flare shows a compact acoustic source strongly correlated with the impulsive hard X-ray, visible continuum, and radio emission. Time-distance diagrams of the seismic waves emanating from the flare region also show faint signatures, mainly in the eastern sector of the active region. The strong spatial coincidence between the seismic source and the impulsive visible continuum emission reinforces the theory that a substantial component of the seismic emission seen is a result of sudden heating of the low photosphere associated with the observed visible continuum emission. Furthermore, the low-altitude magnetic loop structure inferred from potential--field extrapolations in the flaring region suggests that there is a significant inverse correlation between the seismicity of a flare and the height of the magnetic loops that conduct the particle beams from the corona.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, Solar Physics Topical Issue: SOHO 19/GONG 2007 "Seismology of Magnetic Activity", Accepte

Static behaviour of two-tiered Dou-Gong system reinforced by super-elastic alloy

Dou-Gong system in Asian timber structures play an important role in resisting seismic action. Traditional carpentry in Asia uses timber pegs to connect components which enables relative movement between components, and hence provide friction to dissipate energy in an earthquake. This method however has some short falls such as inadequate stiffness to resist large lateral force and therefore the structures tend to exhibit permanent deformation after the earthquakes. This study proposes a new technique by using super-elastic alloy bars to replace the conventional wooden peg connections to enhance the seismic performance of the structures. Static push-over experiments were conducted on full scaled two-tiered Dou-Gong systems and the high-strength steel and conventional wood pegs as benchmarks. The ultimate stiffness of Dou-Gong system has shown increase by using both high-strength steel and super-elastic alloy bars, but only super-elastic alloy can provide a consistent high damping ratio. This technique also involves pre-strain the super-elastic alloy and the outcomes of this series of experiments have shown that pre-strain in the super-elastic alloy can significantly increase the damping ratio in the structure and hence more energy is dissipated. The results of this paper can be used in the projects of timber structures with Dou-Gong system
