Development Of Nonaka's Thought: A Critical Review

By focusing upon Nonaka's thought in his theory of knowledge creation, this paper presents relevant literature with critical evaluation and describes the dual nature of human knowledge (implicit and explicit). By the definition of Polanyi, explicit knowledge becomes the focus of attention, covering human skills and experiences. We infer that human values and human knowledge are inseparable companions. This leads us to re-examine the conversion of knowledge. Thus, epistemology and knowledge conversion came into the purview of organizational knowledge creation theory, where Nonaka made an unprecedented contribution. Different research papers of Nonaka, along with the book 'The Knowledge-Creating Company' have been used as a main source for this study along with the rich insights of other KM scholarship. This study will help in understanding the evolution of Nonaka's thought as well as the evolving path taken by the organizational knowledge creation theory, especially with reference to Nonaka's contribution.

Figurative Language Applied In “The Show” Album By Niall Horan

Songs and language are inseparable companions in the world of music. Language is the framework on which songs are constructed, allowing songwriters and performers to engage audiences intellectually and emotionally by sharing their thoughts, feelings, and tales in songs. Figurative language and songs share a deep and symbiotic relationship. In order to give their lyrics emotion, depth, and inventiveness, lyricists employ a variety of figurative language techniques. This helps listeners engage with the music on a visceral and emotional level. Figurative language is an effective tool for turning lyrics into an engaging and memorable storytelling experience. The objective is to find out the figurative language applied in ‘The Show’ Album by Niall Horan. The method used for this study is descriptive qualitative method and used Kennedy and Gioia (1995) figurative languages as the theory. Various sources such as undergraduate thesis, articles, books, and internet sources are used to provide further information. The findings of this article are seven songs on the album that contain figurative language. The result is that four data in simile is found, one data in metaphor, five data in hyperbole, four data in personification, three in metonymy, and one in synecdoche.

Vacuum Ultraviolet Fingerprints as a New Way of Disentangling Tropylium/Benzylium Isomers.

The two inseparable companions, tropylium (Tr+) and benzylium (Bz+), were interrogated by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation from 4.5 to 7.0 eV in an ion trap. These new fingerprints provide a new means of distinguishing these two intertwined C7H7+ isomers. In particular, the singular spectral signature of Tr+ in the VUV consists of a single strong electronic transition at ≈6 eV. To illustrate this diagnostic tool, we shed light on the structure of the C7H7+ intermediate that is ubiquitous when using commercial atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) sources. We have identified its structure as the 7-membered ring Tr+, which contradicts some previous beliefs.

Depression and anxiety - inseparable companions of a student? - prevalence of mental disorders in the academic environment, factors predisposing to their occurrence, treatment, forms of assistance

The studies have a bad reputation for being a demanding and difficult experience for a young person. Studies are a time that presents young adults with many challenges and induces the necessity of numerous sacrifices, as well as provides a huge dose of everyday stress. Taking into account the current pace of life, to which man as a species is not evolutionarily adapted, juxtaposed with everyday extreme stressors, the question arises - what are the consequences and costs of a young man in response to such a lifestyle. What mental health problems can arise from experiencing long-term stress? The aim of this work is to summarize and collect available information on the prevalence, factors predisposing to the occurrence and forms of help and treatment of depression, and to list the most popular mental disorders in the group of students.

مجالات تأثير علم الحديث في علم التفسير بالمأثور دراسة وصفية تحليلية

The impact of the science of the Hadith on Holy Qur’an interpretation is so important that an interpreter cannot dispense, and the aspects of this influence appear in various aspects. It is driven from the relationship of the Holy Qur’an with the Sunnah of the Prophet, as they are two inseparable companions, and inexhaustible sources of revelation. The Sunnah of the prophet plays major role in interpretation oh the Holy Quran, as in the early literatures of hadith reserve a specific chapter for interpretation of the Quran. Besides, it is known that the narration of hadith gone through a strict evaluation process to differentiate between accepted hadith (al-hadith al-maqbul) and rejected hadith (al-hadith al-mardud), therefore acceptance of some aspects in interpretation of the Holy Quran also should be affected. This study will explore the influence of study of hadith in different aspects of interpretation of the Holy Quran.

Theory-building: working the theory-data spectrum

This article illustrates some implications of the view that data, theory and methods should be treated as a matched set. They are inseparable companions, equally essential parts of processes of scholarly research and dissemination. When we focus on one of these dimensions, the others are always implicit. When focus on all of them, our work is more complete, consistent and defensible. This contribution to this special issue highlights the value of focusing more explicitly on the inter-relations between all four levels of scholarly work.

An Adaptive Metropolis-Hastings Optimization Algorithm of Bayesian Estimation in Non-Stationary Flood Frequency Analysis

Global climate changing and human activities have altered the assumption of stationarity, and intensified the variation of hydrological process in recent decades. It is essential to make progress in accommodating appropriate models to the changing environment where non-stationary models are taken into account. The developing adapted Bayesian inference offers an attractive framework to estimate non-stationary models, when compared with conventional maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). As the inseparable companions of Bayesian inference, an efficient MCMC sampler are expected to be built. However, proper tunings are needed for the sampler to improve the performance by integrating adaptive algorithm and optimization method. A Bayesian approach with the adaptive Metropolis-Hastings optimization (AM-HO) algorithm is adopted to estimate the parameters and quantify the uncertainty in a two-parameter non-stationary Lognormal distribution model. To verify the performance of the developed model, simulation experiments and practical applications are implemented to fit annual maximum flood series of two gauges in Hanjiang River basin. From the point view of parameters estimation, both Bayesian and MLE methods perform similarly. However, Bayesian method is more attractive and reliable than MLE on uncertainty quantification, which provides a relative narrow intervals to be beneficial for risk analysis and water resource management.

Signification, Objectification, and the Mimetic Uncanny in Claude Debussy’s “Golliwog’s Cakewalk”

[FIGURE 1 OMITTED] On October 30, 1905, Emma Bardac gave birth to Claude Debussy's only child, a daughter named Claude-Emma (1905-1919), affectionately known as Chouchou. According to family friend Arthur Hartmann, Chouchou, who bore a striking resemblance to her father, was remarkably mature, and at five or six years old, she not be treated as a child (Hartmann 2003:62-63). Debussy was a doting father, and the two were inseparable companions until the composer's death in 1918 (Figure 1). He dedicated his 1908 piano suite entitled Children's Corner to her, a piece in which he explores the world as seen through a child's imaginative eyes--perhaps even Chouchou's. To be sure, the piece bears Chouchou's specific imprint, with four of the six movements named after her toys: Jimbo's Lullaby, after her stuffed elephant; Serenade for the Doll, after Chouchou's favorite doll; Little Shepherd, after a toy shepherd boy; and Golliwog's Cakewalk, after a popular minstrel doll. Yet, several elements about this suite disrupt the lighthearted musical depiction of childhood. To begin, Debussy's dedication contains the following message: A ma chere petite Chouchou, avec les tenders excuses de son pere pour ce qui va suivre (To my dear little Chouchou, with her father's tender apologies for what follows). This request for forgiveness offers an initial clue that there is more beneath the playful surface of Children's Corner than meets the ear. But what about this youthful suite, which exudes charm and tenderness, (Hinson 2007:4) could merit such an apology? The final movement, Golliwog's Cakewalk, particularly problematizes the childlike innocence portrayed in Childrens Corner. This movement has attracted much critical attention mainly for its juxtaposition of a ragtime-inflected cakewalk--a popular music and dance form that was in vogue at the turn of the twentieth century--with parodied quotations of Richard Wagner's Prelude to Tristan und Isolde. Most notably, Lawrence Kramer has suggested that the combination of these musical materials is the movement's raison d'etre, as the once-revered Wagner is put into dialogue with a lowbrow popular music idiom (Kramer 2004:113). Kramer echoes the familiar Debussy-Wagner topos, where Debussy struggles to escape the shadow of Wagner's influence, asserting that in Golliwog's Cakewalk, Debussy smilingly relativizes Wagner into insignificance, putting Tristan cheek to cheek with music doubly primitive, being both and African American (Kramer 2004:113; emphasis added). However, this interpretation of Golliwog's Cakewalk is not entirely satisfying, as Kramer neglects important and perhaps more salient features of the movement. Relegating the history and meaning of the Golliwog doll and the cultural importance of the to mere trifles (Kramer 2004:113), Kramer deals with neither title element of Golliwog's Cakewalk in any depth. But the status of Golliwog and the as popular trifles makes an examination of their historical residues and functions in Debussy's music especially compelling. The term cakewalk describes a dance form that came to characterize a specific musical genre in mid-nineteenth century United States. Dance historian and musicologist Davinia Caddy's exploration of the traces the history of the dance from its roots in African-American slavery, to popular entertainment, and finally to its arrival on French soil as a white, bourgeois leisure activity (Caddy 2007). After summarizing this trajectory, Caddy plucks the from its racial context and considers its emphasis on a particularly strange style of movement as part of contemporary French tastes for physicality. Caddy uses this term to describe both the bodily postures of the and exercise regiments of the same time period. She wishes to avoid reductive racial interpretations of the dance, as she notes that the arena of cultural identity is unavoidably complex (Caddy 2007:291). …

The author puts an effort to share what he learned over the past year both personally and professionally. In this effort, he uses poetry to express complicated and often ineffable lessons he have experienced, often at the deepest levels of his being. Their experience has starkly taught him just how disconnected the author clinicians are from having a curiosity about his thread. There is comfort residing in the abstractions of the biomedical model. His story becomes one of diagnosis (AML), prognosis (bad), and treatment plan (chemo protocol). All this information fits nicely on the Excel spreadsheet that defines his medical story. To the handful of clinicians who were patient centered. Loss and grief have been inseparable companions for Annalu and him during this past year. Their grief is the natural response to the many losses they have experienced.

“Inseparable Companions” and Irreconcilable Enemies: The Hurons and Odawas of French Détroit, 1701–38

In 1738, the Hurons and Odawas living at the French post of Détroit clashed violently. This episode testifies to the two neighbors' complicated relationship, which had long vacillated between close alliance and cooperation, on one hand, and entrenched resentment and competition on the other. Ultimately, the relationship and the conflict it caused in 1738 tell us much about the Great Lakes Region and about colonialism more generally. Although the pressures of colonialism had battered the natives, they had not shattered them. Instead, the Hurons, Odawas, and their native neighbors survived as discrete political and cultural communities. The interactions between these distinct communities in turn shaped the Great Lakes Region as much as they did the relationship between natives and European newcomers. Thus this essay imagines the colonial encounter not as a binary relationship between Europeans and natives but as a multifaceted conversation involving a number of indigenous and European actors. At Détroit—as at other sites of colonial interaction—colonialism was negotiated among a large cast of indigenous and foreign characters.

UV-B exposure, ROS, and stress: inseparable companions or loosely linked associates?

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has long been perceived as a stressor. However, a conceptual U-turn has taken place, and UV-B damage is now considered rare. We question whether UV-stress and UV-B-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) are still relevant concepts, and if ROS-mediated signaling contributes to UV-B acclimation. Measurements of antioxidants and of antioxidant genes show that both low and high UV-B doses alter ROS metabolism. Yet, there is no evidence that ROS control gene expression under low UV-B. Instead, expression of antioxidant genes is linked to the UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 pathway. We hypothesize that low UV-B doses cause 'eustress' (good stress) and that stimuli-specific signaling pathways pre-dispose plants to a state of low alert that includes activation of antioxidant defenses.

The lab and the woods: science and myth in Les Yeux sans visage

With its blend of modern sf and mythic horror, Georges Franju's Les Yeux sans visage (Eyes without a Face; France/Italy 1959) rivals not only the greatest variations on the Frankenstein theme but also the best of speculative film. However, almost five decades after its release, it remains generally unknown in the US, where it was circulated in a badly dubbed and miscut version and attracted a cult following under the ridiculous title The Horror Chamber of Doctor Faustus. Fortunately, an international re-release in 1995 made the original film available for Anglophone critical attention, and in 2004 it was finally given a clean DVD release by Criterion, confirming its status as a transgenre European masterpiece. Thus, over the last decade, Les Yeux has found a place within scholarship, much of it perceptively justifying the film's niche in the cinematic pantheon by focusing on the psychological and historical implications of the horror within its narrative.1 But what draws my attention to Les Yeux is the astounding force of its vision, which sees through the fabrications of both science and mythology with equal directness. For Franju's film castigates both the modern obsession with science as a means of defying nature and the mythic invocation of lyricism in the inevitability of death. In so doing, this film evokes within its audience a kind of grand despair seldom felt in cinematic art. Today, Les Yeux remains fundamentally disturbing, a solemn, awesome revelation.An important figure in the history of French cinema, Georges Franju (1912-1987) co-founded, with Henri Langlois, the celebrated archival arthouse known as La Cinematheque Francaise in 1936. He worked tirelessly for the recognition of serious film throughout his life, but his own creative work was never really acknowledged for its achievements. It may be that his vision - the unique nature of which was clearly revealed in his first notable film, Le Sang des betes (Blood of the Beasts; France 1949)2 - was simply more than most audiences could accept. Images in this documentary quietly silhouette the cinematically enhanced beauty of post-war Paris, the simple joy of its children at play, the quiet dignity of the city's manual labourers - and the efficient butchery of the Parisian slaughterhouse in which they work. Watching men kill calves and sheep, one is grateful for the black-and-white photography, lilting music and quiet shots of the pleasant world outside the abattoir - the fantasy of harmony that shelters the mind from the facts of the food chain. Coalescing, food chain and harmony create the contradictory truth of life, and in Franju's own words, 'only the truth matters' ('Franju le visionnaire').3 Franju deliberately chose to shoot in black and white, hoping for an aesthetic response from his audience, since to have to see what he shows in colour would have been 'repulsive' ('Franju le visionnaire'). Here, at the core of this early rehearsal for Les Yeux, is Franju's determination to make us see, and ten years later he redirects our vision from the truth of animal meat to the truth of human flesh. In both cases, horror is not without beauty and beauty cannot deny horror. To ignore either or to pretend that the one can preclude the other is to close one's eyes to truth.But which part of the truth has more value? Which runs deeper - the science of the abattoir, so necessary to feed humanity, or the mythology of the harmonic universe, seemingly intrinsic to the human imagination? At the centre of Franju's artistic vision is this impossible question: is the truth of science more or less valid than the truth of myth? Jack P. Rawlins defines fantasy and sf as the aesthetic genres that best illustrate the antipodal beliefs within scientific and mythic perspectives. In fantasy, reason cuts us off from the instinctive wisdom of the irrational. In sf, reason liberates us from the narrowness of our humanity. So fantasy and sf, inseparable companions though they may be, are more than different: they are natural enemies (168). …

The Essentials of Forensic Medicine

Polson's book has been a popular one-volume work since 1960, and each addition of a coauthor has increased its scope. Knight, the latest, is a member of the General Medical Council and lends authority to the legal aspects, what we used to call "medical jurisprudence" and what in my time was the only aspect of forensic medicine taught in medical schools. Unfortunately, the legal points discussed do not always apply to US practice; perhaps a companion section by an American is indicated, although the job would be made difficult by the existence of 50 sets of rules. The language of the book is clear and precise, enlivened by light touches here and there, and illuminated by many case histories, including historical cases dating back to the mid—19th century. Exceptionally noteworthy sections include "Elementary Knowledge of Ballistics and Firearms." Not everyone is brought up with guns as inseparable companions. "Scene of

CHARLES DICKENS DESCRIBES HIS IMPRESSION OF THE CHILDREN AT THE PERKINS INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND

In his American Notes, published in 1843, Dickens vividly described his six months' visit to the United States between January and June 1842. None of the public institutions that he visited made a more favorable impression on him than the Perkins Institution for the Blind, located in Boston. He wrote: I went to see this place [the Perkins Institution] one very fine winter morning: an Italian sky above, and the air so clear and bright on every side, that even my eyes, which are none of the best, could follow the minute lines and scraps of tracery in distant buildings. Like most other public institutions in America, of the same class, it stands a mile or two without the town, in a cheerful, healthy spot; and is an airy, spacious, handsome edifice. The children were at their daily tasks in different rooms, except a few who were already dismissed, and were at play. Here, as in many institutions, no uniform is worn; and I was very glad of it, for two reasons. Firstly, because I am sure that nothing but senseless custom and want of thought would reconcile us to the liveries and badges we are so fond of at home. Secondly, because the absence of these things presents each child to the visitor in his or her own proper character, with its individuality unimpaired—not lost in a dull, ugly, monotonous repetition of the same unmeaning garb, which is really an important consideration. The wisdom of encouraging a little harmless pride in personal appearance even among the blind, or the whimsical absurdity of considering charity and leather breeches inseparable companions, as we do, requires no comment.

Definition of the nutrition problem--poverty and malnutrition in mother and child.

Adequate food is essential for every being, but man, up to this time, has not been able to satisfy this need equally well for all of the world’s population. Malnutrition and hunger are still his inseparable companions, as they have been since the beginning of history (1). During the last decades, man’s knowledge has developed tremendously, and, for the most part, he has applied it for his benefit. No one can deny that he has accumulated sufficient information to provide enough food for humanity. In spite of this, many millions of children and adults continue to suffer from undernourishment and hunger. In fact, the gap seems to be widening between those who are able to produce abundant food and those who cannot.

How to select external courses

Like any other form of business investment, the selection of external management training courses requires a skilful blend of patient research, careful planning and mature judgment. Never before have managers been faced with such an abundance of courses and institutions: in a field once dominated by Henley and Ashridge, there are now hundreds of courses, workshops and seminars run by a variety of organisations, ranging from universities and technical colleges to consultants and professional bodies. Daily, the problem of selecting the right course becomes ever more confusing and, inevitably, the risk of making a poor selection has correspondingly increased. Confronted by such diversity, the individual manager all too often becomes the victim of a kind of executive course roulette in which both time and money are recklessly gambled on courses which bear little relation to his training needs. In any sector of business activity, amateurishness and waste are inseparable companions: management training is no exception to this rule. Indeed, the well‐known difficulties of measuring the benefits of such training make it all the more imperative that decisions are made rationally and objectively. Any organisation contemplating the use of external courses requires a systematic course selection policy. This in turn, involves four major steps: defining objectives, initiating research, making the choice and evaluating results.
