In the present investigation, we shall develop systematically Sarakhsrsdoctrine of Juristic preference from his Mabsut, Usul and Bab al-Muwada'aof Sharh al-Siyar al Kabir and demonstrate how Sarakhsi establishes itsrelevance as a methodological approach toward worldly affairs.The investigation is carried out in four parts:In the first part, we shall relate Sarakhsi’s doctrine of juristic preference(istihan) with his concept of treaties (muwada'a). According to Sarakhsimuwada'a is an autonomous discipline and its main focus is worldly affairsas relations (muamalat) of Muslims with other nations.In the second part, it is investigated how Sarakhsi strives to see thejustification for the application of the doctrine of juristic preference to itindependently of the doctrine of systematic reasoning (qiyas) by establishingthe ’illa (effective reasoning) of the doctrine of juristic preference on the basisof asl derived from the Qur’an and Hadith.In the third part, we shall discuss how Sarakhsi systematizes the doctrineof juristic preference by analyzing the ’illa employed by it in various formsand shows that it is connected with asl.Finally, in the fourth part, we shall show how Sarakhsi justifies theemployment of the doctrine of juristic preference as a methodological approachtoward muwadah and worldly affairs ...

This essay is in four parts. The first offers a critique of James Elkins and Michael Newman’s book The State of Art Criticism (Routledge, 2008) for what it tells us about art criticism in academia and journalism and feminism; the second considers how a gendered analysis measures the “state” of art and art criticism as a feminist intervention; and the third, how neo-liberal mis-readings of Linda Nochlin and Laura Mulvey in the art world represent feminism in ideas about “greatness” and the “gaze”, whilst avoiding feminist arguments about women artists or their work, particularly on “motherhood”. In the fourth part, against the limits of the first three, the state of feminist art criticism across the last fifty years is reconsidered by highlighting the plurality of feminisms in transnational, transgenerational and progressive alliances.

AbstractThe paper is conceptually divided into four parts. In the first part the widely held view that ancient Hinduism was not a missionary religion is presented. (The term ancient is employed to characterize the period in the history of Hinduism extending from fifth century B.C.E. to the tenth century. The term 'missionary religion' is used to designate a religion which places its followers under an obligation to missionize.) In the second part the conception of conversion in the context of ancient Hinduism is clarified and it is explained how this conception differs from the notion of conversion as found in Christianity. In the third part the view that ancient Hinduism was not a missionary religion is challenged by presenting textual evidence that ancient Hinduism was in fact a missionary religion, inasmuch as it placed a well-defined segment of its members under an obligation to undertake missionary activity. Such historical material as serves to confirm the textual evidence is then presented in the fourth part.

Abstract The first part of this essay treats Eriugena's concept of theophany. Because nature is to be understood as theophany, every visible and invisible creature is a divina apparitio. The second part explains that appearing nature is the metaphor of a creative principle. Metaphor is the inner structure of nature as a process of appearance and the inner structure of our speaking about nature as metaphor. The third part infers that the recognition of nature as metaphor is based upon the thinking of appearance. To understand the cause through which every phenomenon of nature becomes a metaphor means to understand the dialectic of appearing nature: it means to understand nature as apparitio non apparentis. The fourth part concludes that in moments of beauty we recognize the nature of metaphor and nature as metaphor. Beauty is the givenness of what we think as the vivid cause of appearing nature. Its cause - and beauty fundamentally - is the self-consciousness of nature as appearance. Both nature as well as beauty are nonmetaphorical metaphors of themselves.

Summary This is the second part of a four-article series containing a Mizar [2], [1] formalization of Kronecker’s construction about roots of polynomials in field extensions, i.e. that for every field F and every polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F there exists a field extension E of F such that p has a root over E. The formalization follows Kronecker’s classical proof using F [X]/<p> as the desired field extension E [5], [3], [4]. In the first part we show that an irreducible polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F has a root over F [X]/<p>. Note, however, that this statement cannot be true in a rigid formal sense: We do not have F ⊆ [X]/ < p > as sets, so F is not a subfield of F [X]/<p>, and hence formally p is not even a polynomial over F [X]/ < p >. Consequently, we translate p along the canonical monomorphism ϕ : F → F [X]/<p> and show that the translated polynomial ϕ (p) has a root over F [X]/<p>. Because F is not a subfield of F [X]/<p> we construct in this second part the field (E \ ϕF )∪F for a given monomorphism ϕ : F → E and show that this field both is isomorphic to F and includes F as a subfield. In the literature this part of the proof usually consists of saying that “one can identify F with its image ϕF in F [X]/<p> and therefore consider F as a subfield of F [X]/<p>”. Interestingly, to do so we need to assume that F ∩ E = ∅, in particular Kronecker’s construction can be formalized for fields F with F ∩ F [X] = ∅. Surprisingly, as we show in the third part, this condition is not automatically true for arbitray fields F : With the exception of 𝕑2 we construct for every field F an isomorphic copy F′ of F with F′ ∩ F′ [X] ≠ ∅. We also prove that for Mizar’s representations of 𝕑n, 𝕈 and 𝕉 we have 𝕑n ∩ 𝕑n[X] = ∅, 𝕈 ∩ 𝕈 [X] = ∅ and 𝕉 ∩ 𝕉 [X] = ∅, respectively. In the fourth part we finally define field extensions: E is a field extension of F iff F is a subfield of E. Note, that in this case we have F ⊆ E as sets, and thus a polynomial p over F is also a polynomial over E. We then apply the construction of the second part to F [X]/<p> with the canonical monomorphism ϕ : F → F [X]/<p>. Together with the first part this gives - for fields F with F ∩ F [X] = ∅ - a field extension E of F in which p ∈ F [X]\F has a root.

The purpose of this study was to find the structure janturan of the Yogyakarta shadow puppet. A further goal of this research is to find a method for learning puppetry language, especially janturan language. To achieve the above objectives, the researchers will first identify and categorize the structure of janturan carried out by Ki Hadi Sugito, Ki Timbul Hadiprayitno, Ki Suparman, and Mudjanattistomo. Second, the grammatical structure of the Yogyakarta senior puppeteers’ puppets wasthen reduced to the grammatical structure of the Yogyakarta shadow puppet show. To find the structure janturan of Yogyakarta Purwa shadow puppet, this study will apply structural analysis. The concept of tatas in chess aesthetics is the version of Soetarno et al. (2007) and the grammatical structure of the Sasangka version (1989) were used as analysis blades in this study. Janturan is the ukara-ukara (‘sentences’) kenès which are arranged in a complete, sequential, and not overlapping manner. As a ukara certainly has a grammatical structure. To be able to find the grammatical structure of scattering, the tatas concept and the grammatical theory of Javanese language are used. From the results of the study of the (grammatical) structure of the Yogyakarta senior mastermind’s succession, the following pattern is obtained: The first part is a section that contains worship. The second part of the janturan contains the greatness of the kingdom which is the center of storytelling. The third part of janturan contains the great king in the great kingdom who is the center of storytelling. The fourth part of the janturan is about the preparation of the trial and those present at the hearing. It is expected that the results of this study can improve teaching materials in thesubject of Bahasa Pedalangan, Pedalangan Rhetoric, and Basics of Pakeliran in the Pedalangan Department.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menemukan struktur janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta. Tujuan lebih jauh dari penelitian ini ialah menemukan satu metode belajar bahasa pedalangan khususnya bahasa janturan. Untuk mencapai tujuan di atas, pertama-tama peneliti akan mengidentifikasi dan mengkategorikan struktur janturan yang dibawakan oleh Ki Hadi Sugito, Ki Timbul Hadiprayitno, Ki Suparman, dan Mudjanattistomo. Kedua, struktur gramatikal janturan dalang-dalangsenior Yogyakarta tersebut kemudian direduksi menjadi struktur gramatikal janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta. Untuk menemukan struktur janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta penelitian ini akan menerapkan analisis struktural. Konsep tatas dalam estetika catur versi Soetarno dkk. (2007) dan struktur gramatikal ukara versi Sasangka (1989) digunakan sebagai pisau analisis dalam penelitian ini. Janturanmerupakan ukara-ukara (‘kalimat-kalimat’) kenès yang disusun secara lengkap, urut, dan tidak tumpang tindih. Sebagai sebuah ukara tentu memiliki struktur gramatikal. Untuk dapat menemukan struktur gramatikal janturan digunakan konsep tatas dan teori struktur gramatikal bahasa Jawa. Dari hasil pelacakan terhadap struktur (gramatikal) janturan para dalang senior Yogyakarta, diperoleh pola sebagai berikut: Bagian pertama merupakan satu bagian yang berisi tentang doa pemujaan.  Bagian kedua dari janturan berisi tentang kebesaran kerajaan yang menjadi pusat penceritaan. Bagian ketiga dari janturan berisi tentang raja agung di kerajaan besar yang menjadi pusat penceritaan. Bagian keempat dari janturan berisi tentang persiapan sidang dan yang hadir di dalam sidang. Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat menyempurnakanbahan ajar mata kuliah Bahasa Pedalangan, Retorika Pedalangan, dan Dasar-dasar Pakeliran di Jurusan Pedalangan.

Two experiments investigated the acceptability of multiple questions. As expected, sentences violating the Superiority Condition were accepted less often than sentences obeying it.The status of the Superiority violations was not improved by the addition of a third wh, regardless of whether the third wh was an adjunct or an argument, though it was improved by the addition of a second question (e.g., and when).Further, in a small pilot study directly comparing a sentence with adjacent final wh-phrases that may induce a stress clash (I'd like to know who hid it where when) with a sentence violating Superiority but avoiding the final adjacent wh-phrases (I'd like to know where who hid it when), half the participants indicated that the Superiority violation sentence sounded better.This suggests that the status of some additional-whsentences may appear to improve simply because the comparison sentence with adjacent final wh-phrases is degraded.Overall, the results of the studies suggest that there is no need to complicate syntactic theory to account for the additional-wh effect, because there is no general additional-wh effect.

In May 2010, the release of the iPad in Australia brought a whole new dimension to learning. This chapter presents the preliminary findings of a pilot study conducted at a large distance education university designed to explore the use of the iPad as a tool for learning from three perspectives. The first is the use of the iPad from a lecturer’s point of view, outlining how it can be used to enhance the task of teaching in distance education. The second is from a student’s point of view, exploring how the iPad can assist in distance education study. The third examines the iPad from an insider perspective, reviewing the variety of apps available including those for social networking. The overall impression is that the iPad has great potential as a tool for learning but it will not necessarily reduce the need for desktop or laptop computers.
