Singing Japan’S Heart And Soul: A Discourse On The Black Enka Singer Jero And Race Politics In Japan, Neriko Musha Doerr, Yuri Kumagai

East Asian Languages & Cultures: Faculty Publications

This article analyses a discourse around the ascendancy of Jero, an ‘African-American’ male dressed in hip-hop attire singing enka, a genre of music that has been dubbed ‘the heart and soul of Japan.’ Since his debut in Japan in February 2008, Jero has attracted much media attention. This article analyses a prominent discourse, ‘Jero is almost Japanese because he sings enka well.’ While many argue that to challenge stereotypes and racism is to introduce alternative role models, we show that such alternative role models can also reinforce the existing regime of difference of Japanese vs. the Other and perpetuate …

Robust Estimation Of Tone Break Indices From Speech Signal Using Multi-Scale Analysis And Their Applications, Chandra Sekhar Rao Kolli

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The aim of this study is to develop robust algorithm to automatically detect the Tone and Break Indices(ToBI) from the speech signal and explore their applications. iLAST was introduced to analyze the acoustic and prosodic features to detect the ToBI indices. Both "expert" and "data" driven rules were used to improve the robustness. The integration of multi-scale signal analysis with rule-based classification has helped in robustly identifying tones that can be used in applications, such as identifying Vowel triangle, emotions from speech etc. Empirical analyses using labeled dataset were performed to illustrate the utility of the proposed approach. Further analyses …

Sdi Obtained From Numerous Tape Services, Björn V. Tell

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The information service performed by the Royal Institute of Technology handles requests from both university users and from industry. Fourteen databases are currently used for SDI purposes. As the library also has on-line facilities for retrospective searches of six databases in the ESRO/RECON network, it has been found that retro-searches usually initiate SDI-profiles for current awareness information.

In 1967 the Institute initiated its own database "Mechanical Engineering - MECHEN" and began a subscription to the tapes from the Institute for Scientific Information. The purpose was primarily to provide a service to Swedish manufacturers in the mechanical engineering field. However, the …

Windowing The Past: A Seventeenth Century Technological Archive And Its Electronic Exploitation, Alasdair Paterson

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The management of manuscript collections - unique, irreplaceable, fragile - has historically struggled to reconcile preservation with access. Academic librarians know only too well the uneasy negotiation between the conflicting imperatives of security and availability, conservation and use, which comes to define a level of public service in this area.

It is therefore not surprising that here, as elsewhere, the potential of new electronic media is increasingly a matter for investigation. Manuscripts transcribed, keyboarded or scanned into microcomputer systems become "virtual" manuscripts, no longer unique or fragile, potentially unlimited as to time, place, frequency and volume of use, retrievable through …

The Global Village Come True: High-Tech Information Network In High Energy Physics, Ann-Sofi Israelsson, Mogens Sandfær, Stephan Schwarz

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In times of fast development, actors in the center of events have a distinctive advantage. Effective participation requires current knowledge of what is going on ("the right information in the right form at the right time"), reliable channels of feedback, and visibility. The idea of a "global village", when introduced in the sociology of communication some decades back, expresses the confidence in modern communications and computing technology to overcome the obstacle of distance and time delays. This, as we all know, is an oversimplification: the complexities of human communication cannot be reduced to signals and processes in cables and computers. …

A Study Of A Thirteenth-Century Vernacular Moralized Bible: Vienna 2554 And Its Royal Audience, Jessica Wright

Theses and Dissertations

Codex Vindobonensis 2554, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (hereafter labeled Vienna 2554) is the only thirteenth-century moralized bible written in vernacular French and was intended for a royal audience. This bible provides a moralizing gloss on contemporary political and religious issues by juxtaposing scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Placing the manuscript in the historical context of Blanche of Castile's regency and her desire to instill devout faith in her young son, Louis IX of France, the manuscript serves as a mirror that reflects contemporary relations between church and state. Moreover, the illuminated depictions of kingship of this medieval bible are …

Vat Fraud In The Customer Chain - The German Perfect Storm Cases, Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

German civil and criminal courts have not always agreed over whether to allow a taxpayer to zero-rate intra-Community supplies when the taxpayer making the supply knew (or should have known) that his buyer in the other Member State intended to fraudulently evade VAT as a missing trader. This is no longer the case. Zero-rating of intra-community supplies is now being denied in German civil and criminal courts.

This paper considers how far Germany appears to be extending the law in this area. In 2011 six cases were heard by the Bundesfinanzhof (German Supreme Tax Court) that demonstrate both (a) the …
