Looking Back

ABSTRACT In this essay I reflect on my career in academic accounting and explore what has remained the same and what has changed over that time. I examine the people who enter academic accounting, the content of graduate studies, and the contents of the American Accounting Association's premier journal, all of which have changed. I consider how our research remains constrained by boundaries and some statistical approaches that we impose on it. I briefly discuss two significant changes facing students—the major impact of technology on their lives and the rapidly increasing cost of education. I note what I believe are some unsustainable features of our profession and end with a call to revisit our purpose—individually and as a profession.

The Impact

Many different studies are in progress to analyze the content created by the users on social media due to its influence and social ripple effect. Various content created on social media has pieces of information and user’s sentiments about social issues. This study aims to analyze people’s sentiments about the impact of technology on employment and advancements in technologies and build a machine learning classifier to classify the sentiments. People are getting nervous, depressed and even doing suicides due to unemployment; hence, it is essential to explore this relatively new area of research. The study has two main objectives 1) to preprocess text collected from Twitter concerning the impact of technology on employment and analyze its sentiment, 2) to evaluate the performance of machine learning Naïve Bayes (NB) classifier on the text. To achieve this, a methodology is proposed that includes 1) data collection and preprocessing 2) analyze sentiment, 3) building machine learning classifier and 4) compare the performance of NB and support vector machine (SVM). NB and SVM achieved 87.18% and 82.05% accuracy respectively. The study found that 65% of the people hold negative sentiment regarding the impact of technology on employment and technological advancements; hence people must acquire new skills to minimize the effect of structural unemployment.

Translated Literature

In the history of mankind, translation has played an important role in popularizing the individual achievements of different civilizations among other nations. This rings true about the Chinese translated literature in Bulgaria and the Bulgarian translated literature in China. The article focuses on individual books as it is extremely challenging to include in this collection the translations published in magazines and newspapers. The translation of Chinese and Bulgarian literature had prolific periods marked by significant accomplishments. It is worth looking back at those works on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between China and Bulgaria. Both the translation of Chinese literature in Bulgaria and the translation of Bulgarian literature in China are taken into consideration, paying specific attention to the main titles, authors and their publication. The publishing houses specializing in culture and art in the two countries occupy the larger part of the book market. It may be concluded that all these translations tend to give spiritual food to the Chinese and Bulgarian readers. Although they introduce the people to a different tradition, culture and civilization, the choice of the main themes can be interpreted as a sign of a common taste for values and beauty.

The year ahead will bring big changes; we will be leaving the EU, there will be a UK spending review with implications for research and education budgets, and there will be further visibility of UKRI's strategy for public research funding in action. Despite all these changes, it will be the people and the science, as always, that will power our community and give us focus.

Looking Back

In the first half of the eleventh century, a group of scholars in southwest India did something new. They began composing systematic texts about everyday life in a register of language sometimes called New Kannada. While looking back toward earlier texts composed in Sanskrit – and even translating portions of them – these scholars centered their poetic ability and their personal experiences as opposed to prior authoritative texts. They described themselves as authoring “worldly sciences” that were “useful to the people of the world,” and they provided extensive reflections on the systematics of knowledge. Epistemic, linguistic, and political concerns were significantly renegotiated in this moment as local context was turned into a virtue for the production of technical treatises. This article uses this moment to interrogate recent discussions of useful knowledge and vernacular science. Usefulness can mean different things at different times and vernacular sciences change according to their language. This article argues for a usage of both terms that is more attuned to historical particulars. A history of useful knowledge from a place that now appears under the double effacement of the non-modern and non-West offers an opportunity to think through central concepts of the history of science without relying on economic or utilitarian discourses. This paper presents one possible example of what a more global history of useful knowledge might look like.

In places such as Fukushima that have been contaminated after a nuclear disaster, attesting to the presence of radioactivity is a challenge for the people there, who all know that one cannot touch, nor see, nor smell it. Nevertheless, since 2011, they have had to learn how to cohabit with radionuclides by—among other means—measuring their environment and every single item that populates it. Although when talking about a nuclear disaster, one often imagines the kind of ‘crackle’ sound produced by Geiger counters, life in the Fukushima region is strangely soundless. Most of the time, Geiger counters are calibrated to visualize an amount of rays via numbers, but by choice they are set to mute mode. This silence is echoed by the peculiar sound of deserted areas. Looking back over the history of the Geiger counter and ethnographical depictions, it will try to grasp and render the texture of sites such as these that force us as human beings to confront this deficiency in our senses.
