Lochmann, Erin M. "The art of nothingness: Dada, Taoism and Zen." Journal of European Studies 48, no. 1 (January 26, 2018): 20–36. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0047244117745434.
Full textAbstract:
When examining the art, actions, and writings of Zurich Dadaists it becomes apparent that there is an affinity with Eastern thought, namely Taoism and Zen Buddhism. These artists not only make direct references to aspects of Taoism and Buddhism, but their philosophies on art and life mirror concepts in both so strongly that this relationship cannot be ignored, although most scholars have done just that. Exploring this connection offers not only a new perspective on Zurich Dada but encourages a reconsideration of the commonly misapplied label of nihilism to this specific group of Dada artists.

Full textAbstract:
It has been argued persuasively that we should see the art of the portrait miniaturist as being closely related to the art of the goldsmith – with the painted ‘jewel’ of the portrait set into a richly ornamented piece of jewelry. Indeed, there is a close affinity between Nicholas Hilliard’s art of portrait miniature painting and goldsmithery. His Treatise’s famous section devoted to precious stones reflects this idea, as it is concerned with the relationship of those stones to the colors used in the miniatures, colors that can be seen as surrogates for the stones themselves. Color, light and shadow – these three aspects of how to render the natural world into paint are closely related: it is the complexity of the relationship that demanded a painting technique that took care not to create chiaroscuro-effects and specifically not let color be ‘corrupted’ by shadows or ‘mixed’ with other colors.

Full textAbstract:
Large scale visual understanding is challenging, as it requires a model to handle the widely-spread and imbalanced distribution of 〈subject, relation, object〉 triples. In real-world scenarios with large numbers of objects and relations, some are seen very commonly while others are barely seen. We develop a new relationship detection model that embeds objects and relations into two vector spaces where both discriminative capability and semantic affinity are preserved. We learn a visual and a semantic module that map features from the two modalities into a shared space, where matched pairs of features have to discriminate against those unmatched, but also maintain close distances to semantically similar ones. Benefiting from that, our model can achieve superior performance even when the visual entity categories scale up to more than 80,000, with extremely skewed class distribution. We demonstrate the efficacy of our model on a large and imbalanced benchmark based of Visual Genome that comprises 53,000+ objects and 29,000+ relations, a scale at which no previous work has been evaluated at. We show superiority of our model over competitive baselines on the original Visual Genome dataset with 80,000+ categories. We also show state-of-the-art performance on the VRD dataset and the scene graph dataset which is a subset of Visual Genome with 200 categories.

Full textAbstract:
Music is presented in this discourse as a coin with two sides –thus as an Art also as a science. Looking at music as an Art draws one’s attention to the artistic features and characteristics of music such as styles and skills of performances as in dancing, singing, playing instrument and its position in other related areas with similar attributes. On the other hand, seeing music from the perspective of a science, the study of acoustics, sound productions, mathematical relationships and intervallic applications are evident. Art involves creative thinking and inspiration to achieve an expected goal or a set objective. Science on its own employs knowledge interaction and inquiries to produce new scientific discoveries. Music co-habits these two complex entities in a seemingly integrative association. This paper therefore is a critical examination and evaluation of musical potency that qualifies it as an art as well as science. The argument is anchored on qualitative evaluation of materials drawn from related literatures and sources. It finally draws the conclusion that since music fits in properly, and performs creditably as an art, as well as maintains great affinity with science, it should be treated as a bicameral discipline.

Weakly supervised semantic segmentation with only image-level labels saves large human effort to annotate pixel-level labels. Cutting-edge approaches rely on various innovative constraints and heuristic rules to generate the masks for every single image. Although great progress has been achieved by these methods, they treat each image independently and do not take account of the relationships across different images. In this paper, however, we argue that the cross-image relationship is vital for weakly supervised segmentation. Because it connects related regions across images, where supplementary representations can be propagated to obtain more consistent and integral regions. To leverage this information, we propose an end-to-end cross-image affinity module, which exploits pixel-level cross-image relationships with only image-level labels. By means of this, our approach achieves 64.3% and 65.3% mIoU on Pascal VOC 2012 validation and test set respectively, which is a new state-of-the-art result by only using image-level labels for weakly supervised semantic segmentation, demonstrating the superiority of our approach.

Multi-view clustering aims to take advantage of multiple views information to improve the performance of clustering. Many existing methods compute the affinity matrix by low-rank representation (LRR) and pairwise investigate the relationship between views. However, LRR suffers from the high computational cost in self-representation optimization. Besides, compared with pairwise views, tensor form of all views' representation is more suitable for capturing the high-order correlations among all views. Towards these two issues, in this paper, we propose the unified graph and low-rank tensor learning (UGLTL) for multi-view clustering. Specifically, on the one hand, we learn the view-specific affinity matrix based on projected graph learning. On the other hand, we reorganize the affinity matrices into tensor form and learn its intrinsic tensor based on low-rank tensor approximation. Finally, we unify these two terms together and jointly learn the optimal projection matrices, affinity matrices and intrinsic low-rank tensor. We also propose an efficient algorithm to iteratively optimize the proposed model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we conduct extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks across different scenarios and sizes. Compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, our method achieves much better performance.

Spectral clustering partitions data into similar groups in the eigenspace of the affinity matrix. The accuracy of the spectral clustering algorithm is affected by the affine equivariance realized in the translation of distance to similarity relationship. The similarity value computed as a Gaussian of the distance between data objects is sensitive to the scale factor [Formula: see text]. The value of [Formula: see text], a control parameter of drop in affinity value, is generally a fixed constant or determined by manual tuning. In this research work, [Formula: see text] is determined automatically from the distance values i.e. the similarity relationship that exists in the real data space. The affinity value of a data pair is determined as a location estimate of the spread of distance values of the data points with the other points. The scale factor [Formula: see text] corresponding to a data point [Formula: see text] is computed as the trimean of its distance vector and used in fixing the scale to compute the affinity matrix. Our proposed automatic scale parameter for spectral clustering resulted in a robust similarity matrix which is affine equivariant with the distance distribution and also eliminates the overhead of manual tuning to find the best [Formula: see text] value. The performance of spectral clustering using such affinity matrices was analyzed using UCI data sets and image databases. The obtained scores for NMI, ARI, Purity and F-score were observed to be equivalent to those of existing works and better for most of the data sets. The proposed scale factor was used in various state-of-the-art spectral clustering algorithms and it proves to perform well irrespective of the normalization operations applied in the algorithms. A comparison of clustering error rates obtained for various data sets across the algorithms shows that the proposed automatic scale factor is successful in clustering the data sets equivalent to that obtained using manually tuned best [Formula: see text] value. Thus the automatic scale factor proposed in this research work eliminates the need for exhaustive grid search for the best scale parameter that results in best clustering performance.

Risk Factors for Periconception Non-Suppression Among Women Living with HIV in Kisumu, Kenya."

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLHIV) are a priority population for virologic monitoring and efforts to ensure viral suppression to reduce the risk for vertical-transmission and poor maternal health outcomes. Few studies have examined the role of parity on viral suppression during periconception in WLHIV. Methods We present data from the ongoing Opt4Mamas study which enrolled pregnant women with HIV on antiretroviral therapy between March and November 2019 attending antenatal care in five public health facilities in Kisumu County, Kenya. We evaluated associations between various sociodemographic and psychosocial factors and periconception viral suppression (< 40 copies/mL) within 12 months of study enrollment. We conducted univariate and multivariate logistic regressions, calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Among 497 women enrolled, mean age 29.9 years, 301 (61%) had viral load results available within 12 months of study enrollment. Viral loads were available a median of 18 days from conception (interquartile range 71 days before to 90 days after conception), and 237 women (79%) were virally suppressed. The majority (90%) of women were on a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and 23 (9%) were on a protease inhibitor-containing regimen. In univariate analysis, women younger than 25 and primigravida women were less likely to be virally suppressed (OR 0.31, 95% CI [0.16 - 0.60] and OR 0.25, 95% CI [0.11 - 0.61] respectively; Table 1). The relationship between primigravida and periconception viral suppression is modified by age and duration on ART. Primigravida women who were younger than 25 years or who had less than 1 year of ART had significantly reduced odds of achieving viral suppression in the past year compared to primigravida women who were older or who had more experience taking ART (OR 0.09, 95%CI [0.03-0.31] and OR 0.09, 95%CI [0.02-0.48] respectively; Table 2). Table 1: Comparison of Pregnant Women with HIV by Periconception Viral Suppression Table 2: Interaction Effects with Primigravida Status Conclusion Risk factors for non-suppression around the time of conception in WLHIV include primigravida status, which is modified by age and duration on ART. Interventions targeting viral suppression among WLHIV leading up to their first pregnancy are needed, particularly among those who are newly initiated onto ART or younger age.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to reveal the model, the consistency, and the implication of pesantren network in Samarinda. This is a qualitative research based on sociology, phenomenology, and educational approach. The research was conducted within the total of 37 pesantren in Samarinda which were chosen based on their geographical sites, genealogical aspect, scientific affinity, as well as their tendency toward certain social organization. The geographical network consists of pesantren in South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, East Java, Central Java, and Jambi. The result shows that this kind of network bears two forms namely direct genealogy and family relationship. Meanwhile, the network of social organization entails pesantren of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, LDII, Jama’ah Tabligh, and Suffah Hizbullah. Furthermore, the network of scientific affinity comprises language science, physical/martial art, and sanad Al-Qur’an. The model of the pesantren network is established through pesantren alumnae’s journey into new places or by Islamic preaching, alumni empowerment, cadres’ regeneration, and service. The degree of consistency is categorized into three levels, namely, consistent, inconsistent, and modification. This network contributes to the development of pesantren and society in Samarinda.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1969 and 1979, while it was establishing itself, ARLIS attracted the attention of art librarians in other countries, publicised and encouraged their activities, and in particular developed a close relationship with the new ARLIS/NA (ARLIS/North America). This phase culminated, in 1976, in the launch of the Art Libraries Journal, and in the organisation of an international conference at Brighton which inaugurated a new era of collaboration between art librarians around the world, initial plans for an ‘ARLIS International’ being put aside in favour of working within the framework of IFLA. ARLIS subsequently participated in the activities of the IFLA Round Table of Art Librarians and its successor, the IFLA Section of Art Libraries. More recently, ARLIS responded to the growth of an international community of art librarians by changing its name to ARLIS/UK & Eire (and later to ARLIS/UK & Ireland) and by relaunching the Art Libraries Journal; the winding up of its International Committee, far from representing a decline in the Society’s international activities, was a logical consequence of the fact that an international outlook had come to pervade virtually all of its work. ARLIS/UK & Eire hosted the IFLA Section of Art Libraries Pre-Conference at Brighton in 1987, and the Section’s Fourth European Conference, at Oxford, in 1992. While international activities may sometimes seem remote from the day-to-day work of art libraries, most British art librarians probably do now recognise the value of’a grapevine round the world’; furthermore, by ‘acting locally’ we are all helping to build the larger world of art librarianship.

Purpose
The purpose of the research was firstly, to determine the competencies required of
risk managers and secondly, to consider the implications of such competencies in
determining possible modules for inclusion in the design of a specialised
undergraduate qualification in Risk Management.
Methodology
A qualitative research approach was followed, involving focus group interview
sessions as part of an Interactive Qualitative Analysis (IQA) research study. Focus
Group 1 comprised of academics teaching risk management at public universities in
South Africa, and Focus Group 2 comprised of risk management practitioners in
South Africa.
Findings
The competencies identified are business management and risk management
knowledge; attributes such as assertiveness and courage; values such as ethics and
integrity; as well as people, business and technical skills.
Research implications
The unique contribution of the current research was the innovative use of IQA for
data collection, the removal of subjectivity and the rigour in analysing and presenting
the results. The results are a starting point or foundation for the design of a
specialised undergraduate degree in risk management that will both meet the
requirements of the risk management profession and will equip learners with the best
possible combination of knowledge, skills, attributes, values and attitudes to
effectively manage risk in organisations. The implications for further research are
that a study of the design, benchmarking and validation of a curriculum framework
for a specialised undergraduate degree in risk management could be conducted.
The development of a curriculum framework or curriculum did not form part of the
scope of this study.Okokuqala inhloso yocwaningo, ukuthola amakhono adingekayo kubaphathi bezinhlekelele kanti okwesibili, ukubheka imiphumela yalokho kusebenza ekunqumeni amamojuli angafakwa ekwakhiweni kweziqu ezikhethekile ezingakaphothulwa ngabafundi ku-Risk Management.

This study focuses in the students’ perception of self-regulation in learning as influenced by the teaching-learning-environment. The study was conducted at the University of Pretoria. The participants in the study were first year students registered for a second semester module in Educational Psychology in the faculty of education. The size of the sample was nine (22,5%) male students and 31 (77,5%) female students. At the time of participation, the participants had attended university for a period of at least six months and had written tests and one examination. The Interactive Qualitative Analysis (IQA) method as described by Northcutt and McCoy (2004) was used to elicit participants’ knowledge and experiences of the research phenomenon. The participants were expected to complete an instrument that required them to indicate the direction of three relationships between all combinations of the themes which were selected on the basis of literature review. The participants were required to indicate how they perceive the nature of relationships between themes that were developed by the researcher as associated with self-regulated learning in a system of cause and effect. The main findings of the study indicate that language of instruction and student personality are primary drivers that determine the academic success of the students. The two themes exert great influence on other themes that are involved in the teaching-learning environment. Academic success emerged as primary outcome which means that it is a theme that depends to a large extent on how the other themes that exist in the teaching-learning environment are structured. The findings of the study indicate that there is no significant difference that exists in the male and female participants’ perception of the factors that influence self-regulation in learning. In both sample primary drivers were language of instruction and students’ personality and the primary outcome was academic success.Dissertation (MEd (Educational Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2008.

Full textAbstract:
Rossetti’s involvement with the Pre-Raphaelites transformed her perception of the visible and invisible world, shaping her Christological and ecological reading of all things as part of one body. While critics have acknowledged her relationship with Pre-Raphaelitism, its influence has often been separated from her faith. This chapter suggests, however, that Rossetti’s reading of an early Pre-Raphaelite affinity with what Dante Gabriel Rossetti called an ‘art-Catholic’ helped found her nondual understanding of creation as embracing both the material and the divine, and that her vision of an interconnected creation evolved in this period in her encounters with Plato, Gregory of Nyssa, Francis of Assisi, and William Blake. Through a series of close readings of her earliest published poetry, including ‘Goblin Market’, and contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite periodical The Germ, the chapter relates her communal and participatory vision of creation to a form of kinship modelled in the Sermon on the Mount.

Full textAbstract:
Novel Machines argues that many of the most important formal innovations in eighteenth-century fiction were critical responses to the new prominence of machines in Britain’s Industrial Enlightenment. Although narratives and machines had been seen as sharing a basic affinity since Aristotle, their relationship acquired a new urgency in the eighteenth century as authors sought to organize their narratives according to the new ideas about nature, art, and the human subject that emerged out of the Scientific Revolution. Novel Machines tracks the consequences of this effort to transform the novel into an Enlightenment machine. On the one hand, the rationalization of the novel’s narrative machinery helped establish its legitimacy, such that by the end of the century it could be celebrated as a modern ‘invention’ that provided valuable philosophical knowledge about human nature. On the other hand, conceptualizing the novel as a machine opened up a new line of attack for the period’s moralists, whose polemics against the novel were often framed in the same terms used to reflect on the uses and effects of machines in other contexts. Eighteenth-century novelists responded by adapting the novel’s narrative machinery, devising in the process some of the period’s most characteristic and influential formal innovations. Novel Machines focuses on four of these innovations: the extended representation of the deliberating mind in Eliza Haywood’s amatory fiction; Henry Fielding’s performative, self-conscious narrator; Laurence Sterne’s slow, digressive, non-linear narration; and the atmospheric descriptions of acousmatic sound in Ann Radcliffe’s gothic romances.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers a new approach to understanding the relationship between Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf by exploring their exchanges through the concept of gift-giving. Drawing on the work of their contemporary, Marcel Mauss, Simpson argues that the gift is fundamentally ambivalent: it is both generous and selfish, and it creates a personal bond but at the same time offers a challenge, demanding response and reciprocation. Acts of gifting and generosity – including praise, letters, conversation and, as Simpson argues, Mansfield’s idea for a story that later became Woolf’s ‘Kew Gardens’ – illuminate the power dynamic that existed between them, which constantly shifted from affinity to rivalry and envy.

With the recent information explosion, social websites have become popular in many Web 2.0 applications where social annotation services allow users to annotate various resources with freely chosen words, i.e., tags, which can facilitate users’ finding preferred resources. However, obtaining the proper relationship among user, resource, and tag is still a challenge in social annotation-based recommendation researches. In this chapter, the authors aim to utilize the affinity relationship between tags and resources and between tags and users to extract group information. The key idea is to obtain the implicit relationship groups among users, resources, and tags and then fuse them to generate recommendation. The authors experimentally demonstrate that their strategy outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms that fail to consider the latent relationships among tagging data.

Full textAbstract:
Mansfield was dead a week when Virginia Woolf confided in her diary that ‘probably we had something in common which I shall never find in anyone else’. Woolf attributed their rapport to Mansfield’s ‘caring so genuinely if so differently from the way I care about our precious art’. Perhaps only in death could Woolf finally agree to the less equivocal version of their relationship that Mansfield had put to her years before: ‘We have got the same job, Virginia, & it is really very curious & thrilling that we should both, quite apart from each other, be after so very nearly the same thing. We are you know; there’s no denying it.’ One can feel no need to deny it and yet still wonder what that ‘something in common’ actually was and why Woolf, given her extensive and varied circle of family and friends, felt so inconsolable upon the loss – not simply the diminishment – of it. This essay is motivated by that wonder. It explores the artistic affinity that brought Mansfield and Woolf together in a unique literary rapport but also insists on the differences – especially in their attitudes towards time as a fulfiller or thwarter of human hopes – that ultimately set them apart in their representations of ‘Life’.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter outlines the unique role that Spenser and Milton played in influencing Shelley’s development as a poet. Shelley responds to, builds upon, and at times revises the artistic achievements of Spenser and Milton to create his own notion of art. The chapter explores Spenser’s capacity for contradiction and identifies the ways in which The Faerie Queen and other Spenserian works have an affinity with Shelley’s interest in the interplay between opposing ideas or forces. This examination of Shelley’s receptive and reformative relationship with Spencer traces the ways in which Shelley borrows—sometimes directly and sometimes in a modified fashion—the Spenserian stanza, exploiting its intricate poetic form and its capacity for variance. It shows that Spenser’s belief is not completely rejected by Shelley, but rather modified or revised: Spenser’s ‘Heavenlie’ beauty becomes Shelley’s ‘Intellectual’ beauty, for example. The second half of the chapter explores Shelley’s inheritance from and revision of Milton, how Shelley uses echo and allusion to recreate Miltonic effects, and how he gives those deliberately Miltonic effects his own uniquely Shelleyan inflection. It outlines how Shelley is attuned to Milton’s capacity for ambiguity of perspective in Paradise Lost and how Shelley imbues characters, such as Demogorgon in Prometheus Unbound, with ambiguity. It also brings out Shelley’s use of forms he inherits from Milton, such as the way in which he employs tragedy to challenge moral values. This discussion is related to the larger question of the manner in which Shelley explores and revitalizes literary genres often associated with Spenser and Milton, such as the lyrical drama and narrative poetry.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 10 addresses the negotiation of a cooperative agreement, and how to value your partner’s and your own prospective contributions to the joint enterprise. The chapter emphasizes that, whereas in a takeover situation the negotiators are single-mindedly concerned to achieve the best price for their company—the highest or lowest price depending on the side of the negotiating table, this is not the case in an alliance. Unless both partners are concerned that the other has a good deal, the alliance will not prosper over time. Partners need to be satisfied that they have a fair and reliable agreement on the contributions and benefits they attach to an alliance in order for their relationship to develop fruitfully. A so-called win–win situation is sought. The problem of contribution valuation, however, is in reality more an art than a science.
