True False

The term “true fabrications” refers to an idiom “true false” created by a Polish writer Marek Hłasko and used in his late novel Beautiful Twentysomethings. However, it is just an attempt to translate this idiom into English without losing its meaning. “True false” is a literary strategy applied to show the experience of living in Poland ruled for fifty years by communists. From Hłasko’s perspective the communism past was both contrived and fantastic. Nonetheless, it is also a way to create an auto- identity by means of putting on masks taken from books and films to breath life into that fantastic social system which is formed out of true and false. Life has become a story to tell. In another dimension, the article contains autobiographical reflections on Hłasko`s “true fabrication” metaphor as a tool of interpretation with which I contemplate my anthropological career path. The problem here is my perception of culture as a source of fabrications and social world as a reservoir of social masks, stemming from the anthropological rite de passage, to which I was subjected during the disciplinary forming process.

Practical Implications

PurposeThis paper aims to explain and resolve the paradoxical situation in China regarding how it is difficult to get an offer of employment in China while people are unwilling to pursue or embark on a career in the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. Therefore, the MICE industry career path should be carefully explored.Design/methodology/approachThe paper used semi-structured interviews with more than 30 representative managers from key MICE companies, a social community perspective and conceptions of the social world combined with the traditional career-ladder model.FindingsThe study’s key findings are: a general career path exists in the MICE industry in China; there are three main types of career paths and two different kinds of promotion mechanisms, which vary according to the type of ownership, scale or other characteristics of companies; and a feedback mechanism, linking social-world events and social community characteristics, affects individual employees and their career paths in the MICE industry, leading to promotion in or retreat from the industry. Typically, the mechanism fits high-level employees better than the freshmen, which leads to high turnover in the MICE labor market.Practical implicationsThis paper provides a better understanding of MICE industry and facilitates people’s employment choices.Originality/valueThis paper provide a new social community perspective for exploring the MICE career path; there are also significant practical implications for MICE elites, which present a new framework for future research and industry applications.

<strong>English</strong><br />The social world consists of three main pillars which influence each other and determine social system existing in the community including agribusiness system. Those pillars are government, market, and community representing political, economic, and social forces in each community group. Rural agribusiness performance is affected by those three forces either as the supporting or constraining factors. This paper deals with conceptual review using sociological approach in rural agribusiness development. Understanding these aspects is crucial as the basis to study various explaining factors that describe development capacity of an agribusiness system. Results of some research show that government’s role in developing agribusiness is very dominant. This is not a good indicator because agribusiness will get more developed if it is managed using market mechanism.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Dunia sosial berdiri di atas tiga pilar utama, yang satu sama lain saling mempengaruhi dan ikut mewarnai setiap bentuk sistem sosial yang hidup dalam masyarakat, termasuk sistem agribisnis. Ketiga pilar tersebut adalah pemerintah, pasar, dan komunitas. Secara sederhana ketiganya mewakili kekuatan politik, ekonomi, dan sosial yang selalu eksis dalam setiap kelompok masyarakat. Kinerja agribisnis di pedesaan dipengaruhi oleh ketiga kekuatan tersebut, yang dapat menjadi faktor pendorong maupun penghambat bagi pengembangan agribisnis. Tulisan ini merupakan review konseptual yang menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi dalam pengembangan agribisnis di pedesaan. Pemahaman terhadap aspek ini sangat penting sebagai dasar untuk mempelajari berbagai faktor penjelas untuk menerangkan kapasitias pengembangan suatu sistem agribisnis. Dari beberapa hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa, selama ini peran pemerintah dirasakan terlalu dominan dalam upaya pengembangan agribisnis. Hal ini memberi iklim yang kurang baik,  karena pada prinsipnya agribisnis akan lebih maju bila dikembangkan dalam bentuk sebagai sebuah kelembagaan pasar.

True False

Foucault dismisses ideology as an object of investigation in understanding power relations for three important reasons bearing on his rejection of true-false distinction, dismissal of reference to subject and trivialization of ideology. This paper argues against Foucault's claim and shows that investigation of ideology constitutes an important task in understanding relation of domination—which is substantiated by demonstrating firstly that the true-false distinction is not only ontologically real but also morally warranted; and secondly that ideology is not merely a passive effect of infrastructure of an oppressive social system but is in reciprocal relation with it and therefore plays an indispensably important role in maintaining the system in general and the present-day capitalism in particular.

Present Information

If the resolving power of a scanning electron microscope can be improved until it is comparable to that of a conventional microscope, it would serve as a valuable additional tool in many investigations.The salient feature of scanning microscopes is that the image-forming process takes place before the electrons strike the specimen. This means that several different detection systems can be employed in order to present information about the specimen. In our own particular work we have concentrated on the use of energy loss information in the beam which is transmitted through the specimen, but there are also numerous other possibilities (such as secondary emission, generation of X-rays, and cathode luminescence).Another difference between the pictures one would obtain from the scanning microscope and those obtained from a conventional microscope is that the diffraction phenomena are totally different. The only diffraction phenomena which would be seen in the scanning microscope are those which exist in the beam itself, and not those produced by the specimen.

Function Information

Highly porous ceramics are employed in a variety of engineering applications due to their unique mechanical, optical, and electrical characteristics. In order to achieve proper design and function, information about the pore structure must be obtained. Parameters of importance include pore size, pore volume, and size distribution, as well as pore texture and geometry. A quantitative determination of these features for high porosity materials by a microscopic technique is usually not done because artifacts introduced by either the sample preparation method or the image forming process of the microscope make interpretation difficult.Scanning electron microscopy for both fractured and polished surfaces has been utilized extensively for examining pore structures. However, there is uncertainty in distinguishing between topography and pores for the fractured specimen and sample pullout obscures the true morphology for samples that are polished. In addition, very small pores (nm range) cannot be resolved in the S.E.M. On the other hand, T.E.M. has better resolution but the specimen preparation methods involved such as powder dispersion, ion milling, and chemical etching may incur problems ranging from preferential widening of pores to partial or complete destruction of the pore network.
