The project is guided by the idea that social work sponsored by religious organizations provides women with a non-institutional channel through which they can become active civic actors in the social contract by locating themselves between the market and the state. The research draws upon a survey conducted in Japan between October 2009 and February 2010 on five faith-based volunteer groups: two Shinnyoen-sponsored groups; two Risshō Kōseikai-sponsored groups; and one Catholic group. By making an eclectic use of social constructivist theories of identity, practice and performativity, this study examines the micro- social constitutive normative and generative aspects through which women move toward different trajectories of self. The analyses highlight that women engaged in faith-based volunteering tend to use their religious identity strategically and loosen it in a process of self and social reflexivity that fosters further social engagement. This makes their belonging to a religious group a resource for broader meaningful images of the self beyond religious ideological normative or structural regulative logics. By reporting the life-stories of women engaged in faith-based volunteering, this dissertation aims to provide examples of the kind of trajectories and empowering or disempowering practices generated in the cultural context of the Japanese faith-based volunteer group. The research demonstrates conclusively that it is not the presence (or absence) of religiosity that makes a critical difference, but how women exploit their institutional and non-institutional — the faith-based group — channels to generate or inhibit everyday practices that can serve to ameliorate their lives. The approach is especially important in view of women’s larger engagement in society, thus in terms of empowerment and democratization. 7 8 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all the women volunteers I met and interviewed during the fieldwork, who made this research possible. I would like to thank them for their enthusiastic support, interesting accounts and comments, and for finding time to talk despite their busy lives. Thank you to the staff and coordinators of the targeted religious organizations as well as the staff at the various eldercare and homeless agencies and facilities, for welcoming me and providing friendly help and information throughout the fieldwork. Their thoughts, insights and practices were invaluable source of information and inspiration. This research work would not have been possible without the guidance, support and advice of my supervisors at the School of East Asian Studies, the University of Sheffield. Dr. Takeda Hiroko deserves the greatest credit for intellectual stimulation and encouragement, as well as for helping me to be organized and adhere to deadlines. Her warm-hearted guidance and constructive criticism, along with hands-on advice on personal matters were invaluable in helping me to improve my work and balance it with my family commitments. Gratitude is also extended to Professor Glenn D. Hook for being always welcoming and supportive and for reading through all the draft chapters of this dissertation very carefully. His very insightful and detailed comments have been extremely valuable to my knowledge and for further understanding of the relationship between religion, gender and volunteering. I would also like to thank Professor Shimazono Susumu at the University of Tokyo, who first inspired me with his stimulating courses and his books about contemporary Japanese religions during my 2-year research studentship sponsored by the Monbukagakusho in 2002- 2004. Since then, he has constantly advised me

  • New Religions in Global Perspective
    New Religions in Global Perspective New Religions in Global Perspective is a fresh in-depth account of new religious movements, and of new forms of spirituality from a global vantage point. Ranging from North America and Europe to Japan, Latin America, South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, this book provides students with a complete introduction to NRMs such as Falun Gong, Aum Shinrikyo, the Brahma Kumaris movement, the Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood, Sufism, the Engaged Buddhist and Neo-Hindu movements, Messianic Judaism, and African diaspora movements including Rastafarianism. Peter Clarke explores the innovative character of new religious movements, charting their cultural significance and global impact, and how various religious traditions are shaping, rather than displacing, each other’s understanding of notions such as transcendence and faith, good and evil, of the meaning, purpose and function of religion, and of religious belonging. In addition to exploring the responses of governments, churches, the media and general public to new religious movements, Clarke examines the reactions to older, increasingly influential religions, such as Buddhism and Islam, in new geographical and cultural contexts. Taking into account the degree of continuity between old and new religions, each chapter contains not only an account of the rise of the NRMs and new forms of spirituality in a particular region, but also an overview of change in the regions’ mainstream religions. Peter Clarke is Professor Emeritus of the History and Sociology of Religion at King’s College, University of London, and a professorial member of the Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford. Among his publications are (with Peter Byrne) Religion Defined and Explained (1993) and Japanese New Religions: In Global Perspective (ed.) (2000).

  • Pre-Service Language Teachers' Autonomous Language Learning with Web 2.0 Tools and Mobile Applications
    Available online at ijci.wcci-international.org IJCI International Journal of International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction 12(1) Curriculum and Instruction (2020) 51–79 Pre-Service Language Teachers' Autonomous Language Learning with Web 2.0 Tools and Mobile Applications Ali Karakaş a *, Galip Kartalb a Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Education, Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Istiklal Campus, Burdur 15030, Turkey b Department of English Language Teaching, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education, Necmettin Erbakan University, Meram, Konya 42090, Turkey Abstract Although the key role of utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in foreign language learning and language teacher education is well-established in the literature, understanding the extent to which the student teachers of English are aware of and proficient in using ICT tools remains a key consideration. Therefore, this study was set out to investigate what Web 2.0 tools and mobile applications (henceforth apps) are used by student teachers in their personal and educational life. Consequently, this study explored, a) the familiarity of student teachers with available Web 2.0 tools and mobile apps, b) the frequency of the use of these tools, and c) the aims of using these tools. The participants were 388 student teachers from two state universities in Turkey. The data were collected through a questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis of the questionnaire data and content analysis for the qualitative data. The findings revealed that most of the participants exhibited low degrees of familiarity and use towards the Web 2.0 tools and mobile apps.

  • The Encyclopedia of New Religions Bibliography
    The Encyclopedia of New Religions Bibliography The following bibliography has been constructed to enable readers to explore selected topics in greater depth. Rather than present a long uncategorized list, which would have been unhelpful and potentially confusing, the classification of literature mirrors the format of the book. (Classifying new religions and spiritualities is a notoriously difficult problem, and it should not be thought that groups that have been bracketed together do not have important differences.) In a few instances a movement may be relevant to more than one section; hence readers are advised to look in other sections if they cannot instantly locate the sought material. Anyone who compiles a bibliography on new spiritualities has to make choices, since there is a vast array of literature available. While endeavouring to include a good range of material and viewpoints, we have omitted material that we consider to be badly inaccurate or misleading. However, some religious movements have been virtually neglected by writers and hence the material indicated below is the best available. For some groups there is virtually no literature apart from their own writings. While we have aimed to incorporate material on the grounds of accessibility, quality, up-to-dateness, popularity and prominence, inclusion here does not necessarily imply endorsement by the editor or individual authors. At the end of each section a selection of websites has been provided. However, it should be noted that, whilst these were all available at the time of writing, and whilst we believe them to be relatively reliable, unlike books, websites can literally disappear overnight.

Genellikle küçük gruplar halinde kalma eiliminde oldukları için bu hareketler yakın döneme kadar ya çok az ilgi görmü ya da hiç ilgi çekmemilerdi. Ancak özellikle görsel ve yazılı medyada çıkan haberler sayesinde insanlar YDH’lerden daha fazla haberdar olmaya balamı ve neticede seküler ve sözde rasyonel toplumlarımızda alternatif dünya görüleri ve yaam biçimleri benimseyen ve sunan az sayıda insanın, görünüte acayip inanç ve uygulamaları insanların ilgi ve merakını cezp etmitir. YDH’leri anlamak ve açıklamak üzere Batı’da çok sayıda bilimsel çalıma kaleme alınmıtır. Ülkemizde ise özellikle son on yılda YDH’ler konusunda birçok aratırmanın ortaya konulduunu görmekteyiz. Bu bibliyografya çalımasının amacı, hem Batı’da hem de ülkemizde ortaya konulan çalımaları tespit ederek, YDH’lere ilgi duyan okuyucu ve aratırmacılara literatür verisi salamak ve yeni aratırmalara kapı aralamaktır.

  • The Role of Microblogging in OSS Knowledge Management
    The Role of Microblogging in OSS Knowledge Management Jonathan Lewis Hitotsubashi University, 2-1 Naka, Kunitachi-shi, 186-8601 Tokyo, Japan jonathan [email protected] http://www.lewis.soc.hit-u.ac.jp Abstract. Given that microblogging has been shown to play a valu- able role in knowledge management within companies, it is useful to understand how it is being used in relation to OSS. This project studies tweets related to 12 open source projects and keywords, ranging from web content management systems (CMSes) to general office applications. It found considerable differences in the content and exchange of tweets, es- pecially between specialist products such as CMSes and office suites such as OpenOffice. Tweets concerning the more specialist projects tended to provide information rather than updates on the user’s current status. We found a high proportion of event-driven traffic for some CMS projects, and a lower proportion for the office products and groups of projects. Keywords: microblogging, twitter, knowledge management. 1 Introduction In any knowledge-intensive project or organization, informal communication is vital to the timely spread of information and ideas. Considerable research has been undertaken on the role of microblogging services such as Twitter in knowl- edge management within enterprises [1–5]. Many OSS developers and users also use Twitter, but little attention has been paid to the role played by microblog- ging in exchanging and diffusing knowledge in OSS projects. This study of OSS- related microblogging explores what kind of information is being exchanged on Twitter regarding open source software, and the different ways in which Twitter is being used.

  • Evaluation of Password Hashing Schemes in Open Source Web
    Evaluation of Password Hashing Schemes in Open Source Web Platforms Christoforos Ntantogian, Stefanos Malliaros, Christos Xenakis Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece {dadoyan, stefmal, xenakis}@unipi.gr Abstract: Nowadays, the majority of web platforms in the Internet originate either from CMS to easily deploy websites or by web applications frameworks that allow developers to design and implement web applications. Considering the fact that CMS are intended to be plug and play solutions and their main aim is to allow even non-developers to deploy websites, we argue that the default hashing schemes are not modified when deployed in the Internet. Also, recent studies suggest that even developers do not use appropriate hash functions to protect passwords, since they may not have adequate security expertise. Therefore, the default settings of CMS and web applications frameworks play an important role in the security of password storage. This paper evaluates the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web application frameworks. First, we formulate the cost time of password guessing attacks and next we investigate the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web applications frameworks. We also apply our framework to perform a comparative analysis of the cost time between the various CMS and web application frameworks. Finally, considering that intensive hash functions consume computational resources, we analyze hashing schemes from a different perspective. That is, we investigate if it is feasible and under what conditions to perform slow rate denial of service attacks from concurrent login attempts. Through our study we have derived a set of critical observations.
