"The essay focuses on completing one of Husserl’s signitive theory with a new perspective. The discussion of the signitive theory is based more on the apperception’s function than to the perceptive one. We have observed that music produces for the ʻSelfʼ different feelings. But one of the most seductive feelings we want to discuss related to music is the perpetual floating-feeling, which is quite similar to the levitation process and it has connections with the idea of the lightness of the Being in some circumstances. Despite these, stays nostalgia. We are introducing a model based on two terms, as permanent {ʻintoʼ}-falling Self’s condition into the sounds and the signitive-apperceptive-intuition. The basic assumption is that music is a continuously phenomenological-fall which extenses the Husserlian theory more, completing it day by day. We hope that our concepts proposed here, signitive-apperceptive-intuition and the {ʻintoʼ}-falling will bring a new light in modelling the sound in a phenomenological manner.

The number of digital networks established for a common social ‘cause' having passion of civic activism increase globally day by day. The purpose of this study is to provide explanations for civic engagement through social media causes. In the current study, a structured questionnaire is administered to 308 social media users in Turkey. The findings refine existing research bringing a new perspective to collectivism by explaining civic engagement in specific areas through social media causes in terms of individualistic values, self-identity (social vs. personal) and social media use. Overall findings ascertain social media's role on raising social capital while enhancing not only the individual selves but also collective performances through diverse civic cause engagements. The study has significant outcomes for both non-profit and profit organizations in building strategies of communication with their stakeholders through digital means.

The Way

This paper will present a new perspective in understanding the Quran, which  is  the interpretation of the Quran which are oriented towards achieving the purpose of the shari’a. Contemporary scholars  call  it  the  ‘at-tafsi>r  al-maqa>s}idi>’  or  ‘purposive  (maqasidic)  exegesis’.  This  approach  is expected to solve the problems faced by exegetes, such as the gap between text and context. The basic assumption of this approach is that the Quran was revealed definite with the aim, so that actually interpret the Quran is expose that purpose, and reflect on the exegese’s context. Theories  of maqasid ash-shariah introduced the scholars can serve as the basis of Quran’s interpreting, including Jasser Auda’s theory. Auda assumes sharia work similar to the way the system works. Sharia devices, including the Quran, has six features, namely the nature of the cognition, holistic, openness, interconnection hierarchy, and purposiveness. Based on these features, the author make five steps in the interpretation of the Quran: 1) identifications of verses; 2) identifications of meanings;  3)  explorations  of  maqa>s}id  al-syari>’ah;  and  4)  contextualization  of  meanings;  and  5) conclusion.

Along with the increase of XML applications, Native XML database technology is gaining the attention of the field of database, and query optimization is still one of the key research contents. This article，from a new perspective, represents the research on the relationship between XML nodes and proposes a query optimization model based on the associated elements of XML data file . In order to query the information of the related elements in the XML data file, this method takes the strategy of index; and proposed the query algorithms on the query optimization model based on associated elements.

Composite Scores

The multidimensional, hierarchical model of self-concept by Shavelson, Hubner, and Stanton (1976) is a cornerstone of modern self-concept research. Given the comprehensive research interest in it, it is surprising that one core aspect of this model has yet to be clarified: What is the best way to operationalize the elusive construct of global self-concept as the apex of the hierarchy? Previous research implemented global self-concept by applying reflective modeling procedures (e.g., second-order factor models) that followed a top-down logic, which assumes that global self-concept affects lower order self-concepts. However, theoretical considerations have often equally emphasized bottom-up processes, in which lower order self-concepts form a global self-concept. Yet, a bottom-up approach has not garnered much empirical interest, most likely because the requisite statistical models have not been available. The recently proposed model-based latent composite score can fill this gap. Therefore, we contrasted top-down and bottom-up representations of global self-concept by comparing conventional second-order factors and model-based latent composite scores. Across three independent large-scale studies (Study 1: N = 8,063; Study 2: N = 3,081; Study 3: N = 2,106), the second-order factors reproduced only small amounts of interindividual differences, which boosted the correlations with external criteria (i.e., self-esteem, enjoyment of school, academic outcomes) to theoretically and somewhat empirically implausible levels. By contrast, the composite score showed a more plausible pattern of stabilities and correlations. We discuss the consequences of the two approaches and propose the latent composite score as a new perspective on the apex of the Shavelson model.

This project draft discusses the issues facing a nation state in the dynamic processes of globalization. First, the term globalization is tentatively defined as a decentralized process of condensation and homogenization of space and time. Then, the ambivalent structure of the globalization discourse, i.e. its semantic and pragmatic dimensions, are shown. The neo-liberal viewpoint is explored of the erosion and weakening of the nation state within the global capitalist power, both in terms of its (state's) traditional functions, and in terms of its internal and external sovereignty. Against the neo-liberal thesis about the decline of the nation state many empirical arguments have been offered. Some of these are presented in this text. The main point of this argumentation consists in a general view that the decline of the nation state is strongly linked with the process of globalization. In view of the critical argumentation included in the paper, it is argued that in the environment of global processes only the societies which have a strong state behind them have a chance to succeed. Politics, not economy, still dominates international relations. Emphasis on state politics opens a new perspective in discussing the process of globalization. Current globalization processes cannot be judged accurately unless geopolitical interests and the changing balance of world power are understood. Finally, the paper points to the ideological nature of the neo-liberal discourse of globalization, questioning another basic assumption of the latter, namely, the idea that the process of globalization is at the same time a process of emancipation. By challenging the positing of a necessary link between globalization and emancipation we formulate a position that allows for a normative critique of current processes.

Abstract Bayesian decision theory provides a simple formal elucidation of some of the ways that representation and representational abstraction are involved with, and exploit, both prediction and its rather distant cousin, predictive coding. Both model-free and model-based methods are involved.
