Abstract:
Una de las dificultades más comunes que enfrentan los lectores de artículos del área de la biomedicina y epidemiología es la interpretación del término “significativo”. El término “estadísticamente significativo” a menudo se malinterpreta como un resultado “clínicamente significativo”. La confusión surge del hecho de que muchas personas equiparan “significativo” con su significado literal de “importante”, sin embargo, la significación estadística cuantifica la probabilidad de que los resultados de un estudio se deban al azar, mientras que la significancia clínica refleja la importancia práctica o relevancia en el contexto de la atención médica o práctica clínica. Este artículo aborda la diferencia entre la significación estadística y la relevancia o importancia clínica en la interpretación de los resultados de una investigación biomédica.

Brown, Sandra Lois School of Design UNSW. "Significance, the vessel and the domestic." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Design, 2004. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/20761.

Full text
Abstract:
Throughout history, people have made or acquired vessels from which to sip their favourite beverage. In the contemporary domestic setting, households frequently accumulate multiples of the same type of object in numbers that are considerably greater than is necessary and practical for use alone. Of these many objects there are often individual pieces that have special significance for the owner or user. Some are so valued that they may even be removed and set aside because of their perceived importance. The research was initiated by a previous study of tea drinking vessels coupled with a desire, as an object maker and collector, to find out why people have special items that they designate as personally important. The aim was to identify how significance could be recognised in specific objects and whether the notion that a group of features used to gauge such objects could be conveyed into studio based work. The research outcomes are evidenced in a text-based document (which articulates the theoretical and empirical elements of the enquiry) and a body of creative studio work developed in response to aspects of the investigation. The document encompasses two components of the study. The first references material from the fields of museum and cultural studies, pivotal in focusing the enquiry. This contributed to the compilation of a general and speculative inventory of qualities that might pertain to objects deemed ???significant???. During these early investigations it became evident that a more in depth and contemporary analysis of significant drinking vessels, their owners and/or users was required. A Survey Questionnaire regarding personal use and special drinking vessels preceded a series of Interviews with a selected group of Australia curators, artists, academics and collectors who discussed and analysed their association with a personally significant drinking vessel. Subsequently, the content of these interviews became central to the focus of the research and outcomes. The research isolates a number of attributes that are commonly identified in objects that, whatever their condition, are deemed ???significant???. These describe the maker, usage, ownership, association and historical context. The perceived value or worth of the object for its owner, is recognised as a consequence of significance and declares the object as distinctive. This outcome is clearly validated by the interviews. The studio work develops from the fusion of personal narrative that has been enhanced by findings of the research. In particular, it references the cherished object, most especially those pieces that have been retained despite the ravages of time and use. The resulting work was exhibited as Trace Elements ???

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis proposes a reconstruction and reconceptualisation of the cultural significance provisions of the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 (Cth). It takes the form of a critical study of the role, function and legal effectiveness of these provisions, and proposes the development of new understanding of what is involved in the construction of cultural significance by law. This thesis is being carried out in both the conceptual and practical domain. However, it is neither a theoretical study nor an exercise in doctrinal exegesis on its own, but relies on both to undertake a practical and functional study into the operation of this legislation and its practices. By drawing on the insights of cultural legal studies and museums studies in which to critically examine the law and its practices, it may be characterised as an intersectional and interdisciplinary study that provides an exchange between law and the policy and practices of the field with which it is engaging. The cultural significance provisions of the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 (Cth) are used to decide whether culturally significant objects should be kept in Australia for the benefit of the national interest. If an object is 'culturally significant enough', it will be refused an export permit. Because the legislation intrudes on the rights of property owners, decisions to refuse export permits may be reviewed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal ('the AAT'). However, this thesis argues that the interpretation of the cultural significance provisions by the AAT has reconstructed their meaning into existing legal forms and categories, by imposing law's analytical conception of objects. This method analytically separates the physical manifestation of the object from the discursive factors on which its cultural significance is based. As a result, the cultural significance provisions cannot effectively explain what makes an object culturally significant, in particular when a physically insignificant, but highly culturally significant object has to be tested against these provisions. As a result the conceptual basis on which the legislation rests is in an unsatisfactory state. At one level, the problems with the interpretation of the cultural significance provisions are, in part, derived from the tension between the market and the national interest that characterises this area of law. The clash between the market and national interest was at the forefront of the policy debates surrounding the introduction of the legislation into Australia. A case study shows how political and commercial pressures may influence decision-making when no criteria exist to decide whether objects are culturally significant or not. This case study considers how paintings and other fine art objects are dealt with under the cultural significance provisions, focussing on a dispute about the protection of contemporary indigenous art that entered the public arena in 1999, which leaves the impression that cultural significance decision-making operates in a vacuum that will allow for any outcome that may be commercially or politically palatable. At a more prosaic level, this study reveals that fundamental problems exist in the practical functioning of the legislation and its administration. The cultural significance provisions themselves are cumbersome and difficult to follow. The legislation relies on the advice and input of specialists in a range of areas of expertise relating the Australia's cultural heritage to assist with the process of decision-making. However, the practices of cultural significance decision-making and the legislative structure are disconnected, meaning that the experts in the field are making recommendations based in one discourse, while law's analysis follows a different method. This thesis argues that the 'cultural significance provisions' can only be effectively construed and interpreted if the narrative and discursive framework for 'cultural significance assessment' used by the museums sector are overtly embraced within law's conception of what makes an object 'culturally significant'. It sets out and explains the cultural significance assessment techniques used by Australian museums to evaluate the cultural significance of objects. The 'discursive techniques' of the museological method are tested against existing cultural significance decision-making. It will be shown that this method provides reasoned explanations for an object's cultural significance, and the adoption of this methodology would lead to an improved decision-making process. However, this thesis concludes by observing that fundamental policy issues will impact on any proposals for change.

Full text
Abstract:
The desire for preserving a portion of this country's cultural resources has forced archaeologists and resource managers to make determinations about the relative significance of archaeological sites. Decisions are made regarding which sites are to be preserved and which must be dismissed in the name of progress. The first half of this thesis traces both the history and evolution of the significance concept, and briefly reviews some of the means and strategies archaeologists use in making significance evaluations in the face of continued economic development and a rapidly changing theoretic and methodological discipline. The second half of this thesis demonstrates a proposed significance preservation model for the known archaeological resources using data from the Upper Yalobusha River Basin in north central Mississippi. Unlike preservation strategies that evaluate resource significance on a site-by-site basis, this model establishes preservation areas based on a twenty percent representative sample of the known cultural resources in the region.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2009.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-107).
This dissertation is about fairness and the role it plays in political and personal morality. Specifically, I investigate when it is appropriate to rely on considerations of fairness to draw substantive conclusions about what we should do. In Chapter 1 ("Numbers, Fairness and Beneficence") I discuss the "numbers problem," the problem of explaining why you should save more people rather than fewer when forced to choose. Existing non-consequentialist approaches to the problem appeal to fairness to explain why. I argue that this is a mistake and that we can give a more satisfying answer by appealing to requirements of beneficence or generosity. In Chapter 2 ("Fairness, Distributive Justice and Global Justice") I discuss justice in the distribution of resources, both within states and across different states. On one influential view, it is always unjust for one person to have less than another through no fault of her own. State borders, on this account, have no importance in determining which distributions are just. I show that an alternative approach is needed. I argue that distributions of wealth are only unjust in so far as they issue from unfair treatment. It follows that not all inequalities in the distribution of goods are unjust. I use these results to explain how state borders do play a role in determining which inequalities are unjust, since some of these inequalities issue from unfair treatment of citizens by the state. In Chapter 3 ("Contractualism, Politics and Morality") I discuss Rawls' contractualist theory of social justice and Scanlon's extension of it to provide a theory of "rightness", or morality more generally.
(cont.) I argue that while there is some justification for adopting a contractualist theory of social justice, this justification does not support a contractualist theory of rightness. This is because social justice is centrally a matter of cooperative fairness whereas rightness is not.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2011.
"September 2011." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 74-78).
In this thesis, I investigate the nature of metaphysics and the role it plays in our broader theoretical pursuits. In doing so, I defend it against various criticisms and offer a novel conception of why metaphysical disputes are important. In Chapter One I address the general question of when disputes are defective and when they are worth taking seriously. I first criticize one popular way of answering this question that appeals to the difference between verbal and factual disputes. Verbal disputes involve divergence in what the participants mean by their terms and some think that metaphysical disputes are defective in this way. I argue that this approach fails because the verbal/factual distinction is incapable of doing the work this view requires of it. I then offer an alternative view where the status of a dispute depends on its role in our theorizing. Worthwhile (or, as I call them, significant) disputes are those with appropriate connections to the rest of our theorizing while defective (or insignificant) disputes are insular, with no implications for anything beyond themselves. In Chapter Two I apply the framework developed in the previous chapter to a pair of ontological disagreements: those over the existence of concrete possible worlds and coincident material objects, like a statue and its clay. The question is whether ontological disputes like these have the requisite theoretical connections to render them significant. I argue that they do. I then address some general reasons for doubting their significance, arguing that they are not compelling. In Chapter Three I contrast my approach with some other recent defenses of metaphysics, with particular focus on the views developed by Theodore Sider. Metaphysics is, on these views, an inquiry into the world's fundamental structure. I argue that this approach is unsatisfactory because it cannot guarantee that metaphysical disputes are significant in the way I describe. It thus threatens to render metaphysics irrelevant to our other theoretical activities, undermining many of its legitimate successes, like the role theorizing about metaphysical modality played in the development of modal logics applicable in many different fields.

Abstract:
The people (al-ummah) Who were destined to receive the revelation in which the above verses are contained, could not remain unaffected on the human level by either the central significance of the Pen which God takes to witness in the verse cited above, nor by the inexhaustibleness of the treasury of the Words of God. The ummah which created Islamic civilization could not but live by the pen and its fruit in the form of the written word. Nor could it cease to produce a great number of works written primarily in Arabic, secondarily in Persian, and then in nearly all the vernacular languages of the Islamic world ranging from Turkish to Malay and Bengali to Berber. The civilization which received the imprint of the Qurʾānic revelation produced a vast corpus of writings which has probably not been matched in quantity by the literature of any other civilization before the discovery of printing. It also produced a body of writings which contains not only the thought. art, and sentiments of that notable segment of humanity which comprises the Islamic people, but also many of the intellectual and scholarly treasures of The civilizations of antiquity to which Islam became heir and much of whose heritage it preserved in accordance With its function as the last plenar religion of this humanity. Moreover, manuscripts were written by Muslims or minorities living within the Islamic world which contain knowledge of other civilizations and peoples.

There are an estimated 10,000 scientific manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish which, together with about 1,000 astronomical instruments, constitute the major sources for our knowledge of the exact sciences, astronomy and mathematics, in Islamic civilization. Most of these manuscripts and instruments date from after the most creative period of Islamic science, which spans the eighth to the fifteenth century. However, some late manuscripts also preserve for us earlier works which would otherwise be lost, and some late instruments bear features known to us only from early texts.

God has favoured the Muslims by His promise to eternally preserve the Book of Islam. ‘We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and we will assuredly guard it (from corruption)’ (15:9). And it was He who prepared learned men among the Muslims since the time of the Prophet, the blessing of God be upon him, who carried the message of His laws and His commandments and all the tenets of His religion, as they interpreted them from His Holy Book, and as they received them from the Prophet, and transmitted the message faithfully to those whom they deemed worthy of receiving it. And so the message was passed from one age to the next until today.

Abstract:
Turks contributed to the literature of Islamic science not only work written in Arabic and Persian, but also from the middle of the fifth/eleventh century, thousands of works in Turkish, written in the Arabic script. Their contribution is to be found in almost all branches of science in the Islamic world. Today, Turkish is one of the three most important languages of culture in the Islamic world.

Abstract:
Before considering the work being done on Persian manuscripts and the places where they are kept, attention should first be focused upon two related topics. First, the place where the manuscripts were written. By looking at colophons where the place of origin is indicated, and in some cases, by assessing the style of the calligraphy, we discover that over a period of six or seven centuries, Persian manuscripts were written in all the lands where people either spoke Persian or were familiar With Persian literature. There are numerous Persian manuscripts which have been written in Arabic- speaking lands such as Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, and the European dominions of the Ottoman Empire, a number of which still remain in these countries. Moreover, the existence of Persian manuscripts in public libraries and private collections in India, Pakistan, and Turkey is an indication of the prevalence of the Persian language at the courts and at literary gatherings in those lands. The style of the calligraphy and illumination of these manuscripts was specific to these various regions, and one can distinguish them at a glance.

Abstract:
A manuscript is both a text that is, a written document of a certain literary genre, and a handwritten work, be it a codex or a scroll. A manuscript as a whole is endowed with an everlasting value, and as a result is kept in libraries and archives as well as museums. The relevance of a manuscript is proportionally dependent on its main features: origin, contents, structure, history, ownership, and state of preservation. Its importance is partially related to the fact that the manuscript is described as such in a list or catalogue. How to define and record a manuscript is still a difficult methodological question.
