“…Moreover, PEOU indirectly affects intention to shop online through PU, indicating that Kuwaiti consumer's perception of online shopping as an easy task that requires little to no effort affects their perception of the usefulness of online shopping. This result agrees with literature as discussed by Davis (1993), Gefen andStraub (2000), Ahn et al (2004), andRigopoulos &Askounis (2007). However, PU does not affect Kuwaiti consumer's BI to shop online because of the POR involved.…”

This paper applies an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess the Behavioral Intention (BI) of Kuwaiti consumers to shop online. Reliability analysis was performed to validate the research model and to analyze the research data. Regression analysis was also used to assess the direct effect of variables such as Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) on (BI). Results showed that (PEOU) has a positive direct effect on Kuwaiti consumer’s (PU) of online shopping, and (PEOU) and (PU) significantly predicted the (BI) of Kuwaiti consumers to shop online. Other factors that were significant determinants of (BI) included Customer Satisfaction (CS), Perceived Online Risk (POR), and age.

In this short note we clarify the role of the boundary terms in the calculation of the leading order tree-level bispectrum in a fairly general minimally coupled single field inflationary model, where the inflaton's Lagrangian is a general function of the scalar field and its first derivatives. This includes k-inflation, DBI-inflation and standard kinetic term inflation as particular cases. These boundary terms appear when simplifying the third order action by using integrations by parts. We perform the calculation in the comoving gauge obtaining explicitly all total time derivative interactions and show that a priori they cannot be neglected. The final result for the bispectrum is equal to the result present in the literature which was obtained using the field redefinition.

“…One is here reminded of the north Indian poet and mystic (sant) Kabīr 46 (d. 1518), who flourished in Benares in the 15th-16th centuries, and in modern times of a famous saint such as the Sāī Bābā of Shirdi 47 (d. 1918) in the State of Maharashtra. Even several Hindu deities are characterized by an assimilative, integrative tendency: an exemplary case is the icon of Dattātreya 48 whose cult is also centered in Maharashtra.…”

Tolerance in Swami Vivekānanda’s Neo-Hinduism

Tolerance was and still is a key notion in Neo-Hindu discourse. Its systematic articulation is to be found in the speeches and writings of Swami Vivekānanda. Inspired by his master Rāmakr . s . n . a, he proclaimed non-dual (advaita) Vedānta as the metaphysical basis of universal tolerance and brotherhood as well as of India's national identity. Conceptually, his notion of tolerance is to be understood as a hierarchical inclusivism, given that all religions are said to be ultimately included in Vedāntic Hinduism. The claim is that Advaita Vedānta is not a religion but Religion itself. Thus Vivekānanda promoted his understanding of Vedāntic Hinduism as the world religion based upon what he perceived to be universally valid ethical and metaphysical principles. Neo-Hinduism has had a profound, lasting influence among the educated middle classes of India and Vivekānanda was among those who paved the way for the independence movement of the early 20th century. The popular Western view of Hinduism as being synonymous with Advaita Vedānta is part and parcel of this heritage. The Indian gurus who have become popular in the West in the last hundred years are all indebted to the Vivekānandian model of spirituality.
