The Core Message | ScienceGate

This paper examines representations of Africa in Shilia Kaaya’s poetry. Kaaya’s The Bleeding Heart and other Poems (2009) features thirty-eight poems covering diverse themes. This paper focuses on ten poems which are devoted to colonialism, neo-colonialism and political problems besetting contemporary Africa. It argues that Kaaya’s poetry interrogates the dynamics of colonialism, neo-colonialism and the political problems in Africa and their effect on the development of Africa. It demonstrates how Kaaya’s poems raise salient issues about how Africa’s development — economically and politically, is undermined by both the European coloniser and Africans themselves. The Archetypal approach, which describes images found in a variety of poems written by a single poet, is applied to enhance understanding of the core message (s) of the poems. L’image troublée de l’Afrique dans la poésie de Shilia Kaaya Résumé Cet article examine les représentations de l’Afrique dans la poésie de Shilia Kaaya. Dans The Bleeding Heart and Other Poems (2009), Kaaya présente trente-huit poèmes couvrant divers thèmes. Cet article se focalise sur dix poèmes consacrés au colonialisme, au néo-colonialisme et aux problèmes politiques et développementaux qu’éprouve l’Afrique contemporaine. L’article démontre dans quelle mesure les poèmes de Kaaya soulèvent de questions importantes concernant comment le développement de l’Afrique – sur les plans économique et politique, est miné, d’une part, par le colonisateur européen et d’autre part, par les africains eux-mêmes. L’approche archétypale, une approche qui décrit les images identifiées dans divers poèmes écrits par un seul poète, est utilisée pour renforcer la compréhension du message central des poèmes.

Core Message

The activity of private investigations by fraud examiners is a business of lawyers, auditors and other professionals who investigate suspicions of financial crime by white-collar criminals. Private investigations represent an interesting and unique field of knowledge management. In this paper, a number of private internal investigation reports or cases are evaluated in terms of their knowledge management approaches. The core message from all cases evaluated is that a contingent knowledge management approach is needed in internal investigations. The situation should determine what kind of knowledge to apply in a specific investigative challenge. Legal knowledge seems to dominate many investigations, where forensic accounting knowledge and management consulting knowledge might have been more appropriate.

Digital Counting

According to Bank Indonesia, the currency redenomination is simplification by reducing the three-digit number zero, without reducing its value. Fundamental changes in the nominal rate of writing, become very urgent in terms of design drafting new bills. The process and method of creating the work is qualitative, ie, empirical studies of cultural phenomena in the creation of this work aimed at deepening the validity of the data, the researchers involved in the search for the data directly in the field. The way it can play a significant role in revealing and unravel the problem, in order to create connectivity in the creation of the work needs to be focused on the core message. The findings are contributions of renewable and creative solutions in the manufacture of paper currency design planning of Rupiahs, including the proposed vertical format that has never been applied to the design of paper currency of Rupiahs. Then the proposed implementation of security features barcode, which has advantages and superiority in facilitating the detection of counterfeit banknotes, will make digital counting faster and more accurate than manual.

The core message of this book comes through clearly in every chapter: Formal political institutions affect economic policymaking and—less directly—policy results. The book advances thinking about how institutions affect policymaking, especially about how political institutions affect the stability (or resoluteness) and adaptability (or decisiveness) of policy.

The Way

AbstractTo avoid the problem of regress, externalists have put forward defeaters-based accounts of justification. The paper argues that existing proposals face two serious concerns: (i) They fail to accommodate related counterexamples such as Norman the clairvoyant, and, more worryingly, (ii) they fail to explain how one can be epistemically responsible in holding basic beliefs—i.e., they fail to explain how basic beliefs can avoid being arbitrary from the agent’s point of view. To solve both of these problems, a new, externalist, defeaters-based account of justification is offered—viz., System Reliabilism. The core message of the view—and the way it deals with both (i) and (ii)—is the claim that the justificatory status of justified basic beliefs originates from being the undefeated outputs of a reliable, cognitively integrated system that is capable of defeating them. Simply put, to be candidates for being justified, basic beliefs must be epistemically responsible and to be so they must be undefeated while being defeasible. The paper also offers a detailed, naturalistic analysis of the notion of cognitive integration. This long-due, mechanistic account of cognitive integration is then used to argue that an additional advantage of System Reliabilism is its unique position to account for the as yet unexplained intuition that responsible beliefs are also likely to be true.

The Universe

Abstract In this study I argue that the translator of Prov 24:50–51 LXX (30:15–16 MT) adapts the Hebrew text to his Hellenistic audience by alluding to Hesiod’s Theogony. The core message of these verses—the ineluctability of cosmic greed—remains the same, yet the images employed in the Septuagint are engrained in and originally belong to the Hellenic mythological understanding of how the universe came into being. The use of classical literature to convey the message contained in the texts of the Hebrew Bible speaks to the hybrid character of the Jewish community of the Egyptian diaspora. When the translator quotes or alludes to Greek literature, he is not borrowing foreign material, but rather drawing wisdom from his very own well. In Alexandria, the waters that flowed from the rock at Horeb and from the Hippocrene spring have merged their course.

State Protection

AbstractThe international community confronts a major gap between the ideals propounded by the United Nations and the realities on the ground that often negate those ideals. The lofty principles of peace, security, prosperity and respect for fundamental rights and civil liberties stand in sharp contrast with identity-based conflicts. These conflicts emanate not from mere difference, but from acute divisions within nations and the gross inequalities, discrimination, marginalization, and denial of rights associated with those divisions. When the international community tries to get involved to redress these domestic injustices, sovereignty is invoked as a barricade. Since military intervention to protect populations within countries is very costly in human and material terms, and although it cannot be ruled out under compelling circumstances, it is generally avoided. The challenge then becomes one of how to negotiate sovereignty, to engage governments in a constructive dialogue based on sovereignty as responsibility for state protection of its people, if necessary with the support of the international community. That is the challenge I have continued to confront in the various posts I've held throughout my career. That challenge constitutes the core message of this article.
