  • Furui Yoshikichi on Physical and Mental Illness, Death, Social
    LIMINALITY IN THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY Furui Y oshikichi on physical and mental illness, death, social ostracism, and workplace and ageing stress. (-:S«»-.;_~v ~) By Jennifer Scott BA(Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania February 2002 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the Candidate's knowledge anq belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Jennifer Mary Scott Date \\' 0:)..02 ABSTRACT The liminal is a condition of human existence which has been the concern of Japanese literature throughout its history, since it is an essential ingredient in the experience of crisis. This thesis examines Furui's contribution to this literature of the liminal (my term) - his careful and detailed psycho-socio-analytical studies of the late twentieth century mind in the liminal state. The introductory chapter begins with a brief overview of Furui 's writing and its place in contemporary Japanese literature, especially the literature of the liminal. I go on to outline the general theoretical approaches of the thesis. I base my argument on Turner's socio-anthropological interpretation of the tripartite structure of rites of passage, and focus on his view of the liminal as a threshold period or state in which normal social structures and hierarchies are replaced by the relatively unstructured egalitarianism of community (communitas).

    1 Descriptions of Recipient Organizations, Projects & Activities 2-20 The Next Steps to Recovery: TOMODACHI 21 Disbursement Guide 22 Earthquake Relief Fund Parnters 23 Donor Recognition 24-35 In immediate response to the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, the U.S.-Japan Council created the U.S.-Japan Council Earthquake Relief Fund. The Fund received $350,000 within 24 hours of its establishment and raised $2,623,034.00 as of July 31, 2012. The USJC Earthquake Relief Fund was created for both immediate disaster relief and the long-term rehabilitation of businesses and infrastructure in the Tohoku region. Working with partners in the non-profit sector to disburse these donations, our supporters have helped make a lasting, meaningful impact on the people of Tohoku. The U.S.-Japan Council decided to disburse funds primarily to Japanese Non-Profit Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations to show support for the growing civil society sector in Japan. This report provides a glance at the tremendous work and accomplishments that these organizations have made in the devastated region. The U.S.-Japan Council is committed to maintaining the strong relationships forged during the relief and rebuilding process. 2 The USJC Earthquake Relief Fund Proudly Supported: WWW.ARCHIAID.ORG ArchiAid came together in the weeks immediately following the Great East Japan Earthquake, forming an international network of architects dedicated to promoting recovery efforts through a wide range of activities. The network has become a platform for professionals, educators and students to collaborate on innovative solutions to the challenges of reconstruction. ArchiAid operates with three principal goals: First, to create a foundation that assists in reconstruction and promotes the regeneration of disaster areas through a multi-faceted network.

  • The Intrinsic Value of a Batted Ball Technical Details
    The Intrinsic Value of a Batted Ball Technical Details Glenn Healey, EECS Department University of California, Irvine, CA 92617 Given a set of observed batted balls and their outcomes, we develop a method for learning the dependence of a batted ball’s intrinsic value on its measured s, v, and h parameters. 1 HITf/x Data The HITf/x data used for this study was provided by SportVision and includes measure- ments from every regular-season MLB game during 2014. We consider all balls in play with a horizontal angle in fair territory (h ∈ [−45◦, 45◦]) that were tracked by the system where bunts are excluded. This results in a set of 124364 batted balls and the distributions for s, v, and h are shown in figures 1 and 2. We see that the peak of the speed distribution is near 93 mph and that the peaks of the vertical and horizontal angle distributions are near zero. Since HITf/x tracks batted balls over a portion of their trajectory that occurs after the ball has slowed due to air drag and gravity, the estimated speeds are a few miles per hour less than the speeds recorded by other systems. Since this effect is systematic, these offsets will not have a significant impact on the batted ball statistics computed in this work. 2 Learning Algorithm 2.1 Bayesian Foundation Using Bayes theorem, the probability of a batted ball outcome Rj given a measured vector x =(s,v,h) is given by p(x|R )P (R ) P (R |x)= j j (1) j p(x) 1 0.03 0.025 0.02 p(s) 0.015 0.01 0.005 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 s Figure 1: Distribution of initial speeds (mph) for batted balls in 2014 0.02 vertical horizontal 0.015 p 0.01 0.005 0 -60 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 angle Figure 2: Distribution of vertical and horizontal angles (degrees) for batted balls in 2014 2 where p(x|Rj) is the conditional probability density function for x given outcome Rj,P (Rj) is the prior probability of outcome Rj, and p(x) is the probability density function for x.
