Working on issues relating Middle Eastern countries to super powers like the UK and the US, especially in the post 9/11 era, often makes researchers either use Orientalism, Neo-Orientalism or other theoretical tools to analyse matters and make them understandable.
Do you that engaging Orientalism, Neo-Orienatlism, Social Darwinism and Fanonism, is a good choice to decipher happenings in the Middle East?
Relevant answer
Answer
The liminality intrigues me. To observe these happening, we have all these models. When the issue is seen through all these models we find overlapping grey areas of liminality. For instance the Arab spring can be examined through all these models. Yet to answer a simple question, what motivated all these people to take action? I find the answers complexing.

"The miniature art created during the Middle Ages was applied to small books or illustrated the entire page of a book in the form of a small-scale colored picture. These small-scale colored pictures were created using various materials (paper, metal, and silk). Therefore, the term "miniature" refers to all elements of the graphic part of a book, whether it is a small painting or an illustration that covers the entire page or sometimes only two adjacent pages. Thus, the term "miniature" has been widely used in relation to the fine arts of the Timurid era."

Can someone help me interpret the data that I have recently collected? I am studying bat diversity in three selected mangrove forests in Misamis Oriental and Northern Mindanao. Here are the data from the three sampling sites:
In Barangay Molugan, six (6) different bat species were captured by twelve (12) individuals. Still, during the sampling period, there was heavy rain. Also, this area is characterized as residential and commercial, and the study sites are remnants of previously depleted and disturbed ecosystems. Also, most of the mangroves here are newly planted; only a few species of mangroves have been found, but other mangroves have flowers and fruits.
Four (4) different species of bats were recorded in Barangay Baybay, with 21 individuals during the sampling, despite heavy rain and a disco party in the neighboring sites. There were a lot of different types of mangroves found, and there are homes and businesses in the area.
In barangay Tubajon, four (4) different species were recorded, and thirty-one (31) individuals captured the entire mangrove species. The mangrove forest here is not natural. Also, there were few homes or businesses near the mangrove forest it was. Also, most of the mangroves are flowering and fruiting.
Relevant answer
Answer
In general mangroves are grow on the stable and sheltered coast. only in frost condition it was not grow. Therefore, it was mostly distribute in tropical region. To understand the presence and absence of mangrove you need to check all abiotic parameters of water and soil also with tidal amplitudes. As you mention in your description that there were few homes or businesses near the mangrove forest then in that case analysis of abiotic parameter is must. overfishing, urbanization, agriculture , cyclones also affect the mangrove distribution. Propagules which produced from mangrove forest is not disperse, established and survive then there is a difficulties for natural regeneration for current species and new species. concentration of oil in soil sediments also affect the diversity of mangroves.

The concept of Orientalism emphasizes one side of the West and ignores the other, by orienting the focus on shortcomings. Some call this appropriate, others would label it one-sided. However, the concept has to be viewed as one with some level of explanatory power and which falls in the framework of competition between schools of science.

In my opinion, the most beautiful thing in Eastern and Asian cultures is that they use the spiritual approach and the missionaries to search within themselves for answers through meditation, and also believes that Eastern culture is an integral part of society, as well as the universe and collective practices. While Western culture takes a pragmatic and emotional approach to research outside the self through research and analysis and is strongly dependent on individualism.

There seems to be more prescriptive perspectives on human rights than empirical ones as propagated by the traditional and social media. Is it because perspectives on law are dominated by lawyers and legal scholars who are mostly trained in jurisprudence rather than sociology or anthropology of law? Or is it because most scholars and their normative perspectives come from developed countries, such as the US and EU, with their individualist cultures and concepts of human rights, and not from developing or oriental countries with their collectivist views of rights? Your insights and answers are highly appreciated. Cheers!
Relevant answer
Answer
There are many different questions built into your question. I will answer your direct question in 2) and 3) below, but I need to preface it with an observation in 1)
1) I think one must be very cautious when comparing normative/prescriptive vs. empirical/sociological perspectives on human rights in an attempt to decide which has more ‘truth’ value. Studying human rights as ‘norms’ is entirely different from studying them as ‘facts’. Normative claims about the universality of human rights are important because that is what their moral legitimacy is based upon, but looking for their empirical reality is difficult, except when you treat them as a social construction, as one commentator suggested. However, I emphasize that the two groups you have identified ask very different questions about human rights. Empiricists do not, and cannot, for instance, say whether human rights should exist or whether they are good or bad, they can only speak to whether certain factual claims about human rights are justified or not. Similarly, lawyer-normativists cannot tell you, for instance, whether or not human rights are, empirically, meaningful for a given society to any degree, but they will happily provide normative arguments about why they are good (or not), and can tell you what the outcome of applying human rights norms to a given social context or situation will be, and whether that outcome is desirable or not. But again, neither approach is more ‘true’ than the other. They are asking fundamentally different questions about human rights. They can inform one another, but it is illogical to use one to disprove the other because their methods and research subjects are entirely different.
2) Your question of why are there more normative perspectives rather than empirical perspectives on human rights is probably quite easy to answer empirically. If we recognize that human rights are legal constructs, it makes sense that lawyers, who are trained in understanding and analyzing normative frameworks of rules for specific social purposes, have written a lot about them. In their current juridical form they were either created or recognized (depending on your point of view) at specific moments through juridical acts like international treaties, domestic legislation and jurisprudence. These are fundamentally rule based systems, which explains why lawyers and legal scholars have written a lot about them. The dominance of the international human rights regime, may also, in part, be, as you say, because many human rights scholars either come from or have been educated in Western institutions. But it’s also because it is endorsed by the current power structure of global politics, and many ‘developing or oriental countries’ as you labelled them have signed onto and participate in that regime, and there are many scholars from those regions who are strong advocates of the international human rights regime as well.
3) While the normative nature of human rights is quite unambiguous, their empirical nature is less obvious. The comparatively fewer empirical studies of human rights, therefore, may be due to empirical scholars not being attracted to the field because it isn’t clear at all what the factual bases of human rights are. Whether or not certain people or groups agree with the values underlying the human rights legal regime is a factual question, but as one commentator said, it is irrelevant legally speaking given the philosophical argument that they are eternal and universal, ie. you don’t need to believe in them to be subject to them. On the other hand, empirical scholars might wish to use empirical research to challenge the philosophical claim to universality, but might be dissuaded from doing so given the political/normative implications of doing so (ie. do you want to live in a world where not everybody is entitled to the same fundamental rights?). Other social constructionists might argue that while human rights as norms themselves have no empirical basis other than whether or not people or societies believe in them (which, again, is different from saying they are or are not ‘true’), the global legal regimes and discourses about human rights clearly factual and are available for empirical study. Nevertheless, as you pointed out, critical scholars, and not only from the developing world, have noticed that the dominant international human rights regime does reflect a certain cultural perspective (Western, individualistic, etc.) that is not shared by members of certain societies, like the Philippine barangays you mention. This may be both an empirical or a philosophical/normative critique, depending on how one writes it. But stating that as a fact does not lead to an obvious normative conclusion. The lawyer will say, at the end of the day, "So what? That doesn't make human rights any less valid or important."

Answer
It depends which behaviors we are talking about. Socially inappropriate behaviors, physically aggressive behaviors and psychiatric behaviors are commonly seen in different stages of dementia however I believe the single most important determinant of their expression may well be modified or made worse by caregiver approach. I believe it is the difference in the caregiver education/understanding of the disease process between occidental and oriental societies besides the living arrangements (socially cohesive arrangements in oriental cultures) that largely determine the dementia behavior expressions.

Can we investigate Edward Said's Orientalism and any colonial influences, as well as  studying Homi Bhabha's theory of location of culture in the Sun Also Rises
Relevant answer
Answer
There may be some aspects of colonial or post-colonial theory that can be applied to Spain--but because Spain is not the object of "conventional colonization" (as Ludmilla points out), it may be difficult to apply post-colonial theory, especially Bhabha's.  But if you look at the "exoticizing" (perfect term) of Spain in light of Said's "Orientalism," you might have more success.
If you are willing to look at other texts, I have found Wole Soyinka's drama "Death and the King's Horseman" particularly good for the study of colonial and post-colonial theories. There are a number of other writers whose works could provide superb sources for the application of both Said's and Bhabha's theories.

the reliability services has the same meaning with connection oriented services in network connection or not????
Relevant answer
Answer
Sarah -
Are you asking if reliability has the same definition, whether applied to a wireless network or a hardwired system? If your question is about jargon in a particular field, I don't know, and even "reliability" might be defined differently in different disciplines/subject matter fields. However, if you are comparing reliability for two kinds of systems, I would define them the same way. For example, if the reliability of a "connection oriented" system is measured by its mean time to failure, you would want to measure the reliability of a "connectionless" system by its mean time to failure also - and I'd also want to know their standard errors. If you want to measure reliability by probability of a successful operation, and you had subsystems in series, then the overall probability of success is the product of those subsystem probabilities. That would apply to both the connection oriented case and the connectionless case, even though they have different subsystems and even different numbers of subsystems.
