{"title":"Whaling on stage: a comparison of contemporary Japanese whale festivals","authors":"Aike P. Rots, E.

Japan has several whale festivals (kujira matsuri): playful events at which participants re-enact Edo-period (1600–1868) coastal whaling practices and perform whaling-related songs and dances. This article compares the festivals of Taiji (Wakayama), Kayoi (Yamaguchi), Shinkami-gotō (Nagasaki), and Ayukawa (Miyagi). It argues that these festivals not only have economic and social significance for the communities in question; they also support the notion of Japan as a traditional whaling nation. By organising and participating in these festivals, local priests, volunteers, and audiences enact this imagined whaling heritage, thus supporting the agenda of the present-day whaling industry. However, local actors have their own motivations and interests, and in fact the celebration of whaling heritage is not contingent upon the continuation of whaling today.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"528 - 553"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49256168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article uses historical sources to investigate the dynamic between patronage, piety, and play diachronically, from a longue durée perspective. Political and economic patronage took radically different forms in subsequent stages of the festival's development. Surviving sources offer more insight into structures of patronage than into piety and are even more terse when it comes to play, but even with these limitations, it is clear that shifts in patronage have had a defining impact on both. Vice versa, both piety and play have generated renewed patronage, at times inspiring concerted action to revive the festival or prevent it from collapsing. Kyoto's Gion festival offers a unique archive that allows us to study how historical circumstances have shifted the dynamic between political and economic patronage, piety, and play in one of Japan's most influential festivals.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"554 - 575"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48514579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Patient Embeddings From Diagnosis Codes for Health Care Prediction Tasks: Pat2Vec Machine Learning Framework.","authors":"Edgar Steiger, Lars Eric Kroll","doi":"10.2196/40755","DOIUrl":"10.2196/40755","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>In health care, diagnosis codes in claims data and electronic health records (EHRs) play an important role in data-driven decision making. Any analysis that uses a patient's diagnosis codes to predict future outcomes or describe morbidity requires a numerical representation of this diagnosis profile made up of string-based diagnosis codes. These numerical representations are especially important for machine learning models. Most commonly, binary-encoded representations have been used, usually for a subset of diagnoses. In real-world health care applications, several issues arise: patient profiles show high variability even when the underlying diseases are the same, they may have gaps and not contain all available information, and a large number of appropriate diagnoses must be considered.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>We herein present Pat2Vec, a self-supervised machine learning framework inspired by neural network-based natural language processing that embeds complete diagnosis profiles into a small real-valued numerical vector.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Based on German outpatient claims data with diagnosis codes according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10), we discovered an optimal vectorization embedding model for patient diagnosis profiles with Bayesian optimization for the hyperparameters. The calibration process ensured a robust embedding model for health care-relevant tasks by aggregating the metrics of different regression and classification tasks using different machine learning algorithms (linear and logistic regression as well as gradient-boosted trees). The models were tested against a baseline model that binary encodes the most common diagnoses. The study used diagnosis profiles and supplementary data from more than 10 million patients from 2016 to 2019 and was based on the largest German ambulatory claims data set. To describe subpopulations in health care, we identified clusters (via density-based clustering) and visualized patient vectors in 2D (via dimensionality reduction with uniform manifold approximation). Furthermore, we applied our vectorization model to predict prospective drug prescription costs based on patients' diagnoses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Our final models outperform the baseline model (binary encoding) with equal dimensions. They are more robust to missing data and show large performance gains, particularly in lower dimensions, demonstrating the embedding model's compression of nonlinear information. In the future, other sources of health care data can be integrated into the current diagnosis-based framework. Other researchers can apply our publicly shared embedding model to their own diagnosis data.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We envision a wide range of applications for Pat2Vec that will improve health care quality, including personalized prevention and signal detection in pati","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"46 1","pages":"e40755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11041498/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80914253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fourth, are modern communication methods more effective in shaping individual religious views than traditional ones? Is there a more effective approach to depicting the religious world of ‘non-elite’ individuals and their response to modernity? Or is it still much simpler to locate them in a macro narrative (as presented in Chapters 1 and 2)? In sum, readers will only discover more fascinating ideas and find inspiration from the book when they open it for themselves, as our summary and comments here are by no means comprehensive. In addition to being an excellent study of regional religion and its theoretical paradigm, which takes into account religious changes and reconfigurations within the framework of community, knowledge, and religiosity, this volume is unquestionably a milestone in the field, as it serves both as a research overview of Chinese religions in modern transformation and a point of departure for further regional and comparative studies. This work is not to be missed by any scholars of modern Chinese religion, no matter which subfield they are devoted to.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"600 - 603"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42234901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thinking in Āsana is a sophisticated and coherent account of how yoga practice and philosophy interconnect, which will be an invigorating read for both scholars and practitioners alike. Beyond the academy, it will be a valuable addition to teacher training programmes on yoga, inviting dialogue on how philosophical metaphors are deconstructed in praxis. The productive combination of linguistics and kinaesthetics is a novel addition to current scholarship on yoga in the humanities and will likely become an influential text in shaping future interdisciplinary studies, particularly in the context of bridging the gap between biology and sociology, science and philosophy, scholars and practitioners.
