Rebelling or Reconstruction: A New Understanding of the Classical by the Romantic Painters with Exploration Centered on Francisco Goya
Authors: Shui Guohao , Wang Qinxia , Zhao Zichang
Published: July 2022

The classic, originating in the intellectual development of Greek and Rome, has consistently been an essential subject of the Western culture, occupying an important role as well in Germanic law and Christian religion with its highlight on the spirit of reason, logic and humanity even in the Middles. With the discovery of Greece and Roman antiquity in Italian in the Renaissance, the classical mythologies and the masterpieces by Aristotle and Plato were once again emphasized, and interpreted from a different perspective. Hundreds of years later, the Enlightenment thinkers and neo-classical artists extracted the spirit of reason and morality from the classic. The neo-classical artists criticized the frivolous Rococo, choosing serious subjects aiming to elevate the morality of human, focusing on the integrity of the painting, strengthening sketch than color, and in this way restoring and revoking the Greco-Roman classical spirit. Yet the turmoil of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic war for decades doubts the limitation of the reason, revealing the madness of discipline and organization, displaying the mechanized and the alienated will of human-being. Delacroix and Goya, the representatives of romanticism artists, have been considered the rebels of neo-classic and the academy and the pioneers of modernity. Their works show the might of passion and emotion, depicting the fear, numbness, and indifference of human-being facing death, contrasting with the dignity and the firm attitude expressed by the neo-classical figures. This modernity roots in a certain historical context of the classic. Through pictorial analysis and the study of Delacroix's diaries and historical materials in contrast to the Baroque and Neo-classical artists to show Goya and Delacroix spontaneously invoke and reconstruct the spirit of ancient Greco-Roman art.

On the protection of intellectual property rights in variety show templates
Authors: Chen Zhengle
Published: July 2022

China's variety show industry is growing rapidly, but there have been repeated plagiarism controversies. The protection of variety show templates under both the current copyright law and the anti-unfair competition law has some shortcomings. This article suggests that variety show templates should be included in the scope of intellectual property protection by analyzing the criteria of "works" under copyright law and some inspiring cases at home and abroad. In addition, by analyzing the characteristics of variety show templates, it is suggested that the principle of overall protection of intellectual property rights for variety show templates should be adopted, and that the general audience test should be used to determine whether the works in question are substantially similar to each other, with the aim of better protecting variety show templates as a whole.
Exploring the Emotional Regulation during Foreign Language Learning in a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environment
Authors: Xu Xiaotian
Published: July 2022

The online learning environment has become an inevitable means for language learners during the pandemic. According to Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis, emotions act as a vital element in language acquisition (1981). Due to characteristics of online techniques, emotions can be experienced quite differently from the traditional face-to-face teaching mode. Although many studies have researched on the relations between emotions and online learning, between emotions and language learning, there are few touching on the emotions concerned with language learning in a computer-supported collaborative learning environment. This study, by surveying the products of related researchers, attempts to figure out strategies for language learners to regulate emotions in the computer-supported collaborative learning environment. Strategies are organised based on social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence. This study gives a comprehensive picture of language learners’ emotional regulation.

The Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Social Anxiety in China
Authors: Fan Jiaqi
Published: July 2022

This article’s purpose is to discover the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on patients who are diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder or people who have high anxiety levels in China. Chinese adolescents have higher anxiety levels that have than adolescents in other countries, and the information about social anxiety and the effectiveness of CBT is not sufficient. In order to find the relationships between CBT and SAD patients in China, this article collected 13 pieces of research that contain information about the effectiveness of CBT and SAD. There is strong evidence that cognitive-behavioral therapy treatment was effective in the Chinese SAD participants. The shame proneness will influence the effectiveness of CBT. The lower the feeling of shame and self-directed attention the patients have, the more effective the CBT will be for the SAD patients. Also, the language used during the CBT session for SAD patients is significant. CBT may be more effective if the language used is the most familiar language that SAD patients speak. However, more research is needed to find further correlations.

Power to Methane Technology for Energy Storage
Authors: Dong Hanze , Liu Haoyu , Liu Sihan
Published: July 2022

Power to gas (P2G) is a technology that converts electricity into gases like  H2 and O2 and is expected to meet future high-capacity energy storage needs. In this paper, we present an electric-gas system coupled with electricity and gas as well as an operational analysis to solve the energy dispatch problem in P2G technology. This paper introduces the principle of P2G technology and analyzes the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the technology. P2G technology allows for long-term, seasonal energy storage and a large amount of energy storage. However, the technology has low conversion efficiency and the risk of methane leakage when applied. A coupled electric-gas system consisting of gas-fired units and P2G facilities converts rich electricity into methane for transportation and transient storage with natural gas pipeline. Besides, natural gas power generation is economical and environmentally friendly, and the gas generator sets are responsive, which can better deepen the coupling between the power system and the natural gas system in the framework of the energy internet. This paper illustrates with examples that the P2G coupling technology has a good application prospect, and it has some implications for the future application of P2G technology.
Development of Methane Production and Storage Technology
Authors: Wang Xinuo
Published: July 2022

With the global transition to a sustainable low-carbon economy, methane production and capture technologies are two of the main low-carbon energy technologies, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the efficient use of energy gases are the main challenges for both technologies. This paper reviews various ways of methane production and storage, such as electrolysis and methanation in production technology, treatment of organic waste water for methane production, microbial electrolysis, and anaerobic digestion of plants. Geological storage, surface tank storage and sorbent material storage are among the storage technologies. The results show that methane production at this stage exists mostly in the laboratory stage and there are few technologies that can support industrial methane production, electrolysis of methane and methanation still cannot be used in industrial production on a large scale due to cost, and anaerobic consumption of fauna has immature technology. In terms of methane storage, more reliance is still placed on surface tanks, and research on geological storage is still limited by the cost and volume per unit storage capacity and sorbent materials that are still in the exploratory stage. Geological storage, for example, is limited to seasonal and cyclical variations and does not allow for efficient long-term storage. In this paper, we have searched through a large body of literature in order to find better solutions to produce and store methane, and hopefully find technologies that are less harmful to the environment as they evolve.

Authors: Li Guanghua , Zhang Hao , Zhang Zhehua , Wang Shitong
Published: July 2022

Load prediction of power system plays an important role in real-time control and ensuring economic, safe and reliable operation of power system. At the same time, the variation of power load system parameters is affected by many factors, which will lead to the nonlinear development of load curve. In this paper, a prediction method based on BP neural network is proposed. The biggest advantage of this method is that it has adaptive function to a large number of nonlinear characteristics and non-accuracy laws. This paper mainly focuses on the application of BP neural network in short-term load prediction of power system to do further research, and through MATLAB BP neural network design, simulation results show that the application of BP neural network in short-term load prediction is feasible, can better reflect the nonlinear characteristics of load prediction. However, because this paper does not consider the effects of climate, temperature, holidays and other factors, there is still a certain gap between the simulation results and the ideal results, but it is certain that BP neural network is still better than the traditional prediction method, is a very promising new research and development field.
Analysis of urban waterlogging causes and LID techniques
Authors: Jiang Boyu
Published: July 2022

Global climate has been changing a lot in the past decades. Also extreme weather is more frequent. It results that severe urban waterlogging events happened in more and more region around the world in resent years. It killed so much people and caused tremendous poverty damage on different countries. More attention was paid on causes of urban waterlogging by many researchers. Urban waterlogging is caused by two main factors, meteorological and geological factor and urbanization factors. This review firstly analyzes the factors caused urban waterlogging, which contains meteorological and geological factor and urbanization factor. For meteorological and geological factor, global climate change have been causing more extreme precipitation events. It becomes a great challenge for urban drainage system. Also, people ignored the state of underlying surface, river portion and water storage capacity in urbanization. Those factors caused surface infiltration reducing, runoff increasing and water storage capacity reduction. Therefore, it exacerbates urban waterlogging. In order to solve urban waterlogging, many researches figured out a variety of Low Impact Development techniques (LID). Those techniques were divided into two types: infiltration-based technique and retention-based technique. For the infiltration-based technique, it aims to help city recharging subsurface flow and groundwater. For the retention-based technique, it is an approach that retain rainwater to reduce outflow. Comparing to retention-based technique, infiltration-based technique requires more fund and combination of techniques, but it is more sustainable than retention-based technique. Moreover, the review believe the implementation of the combination with two techniques would solve urban waterlogging more effectively in future. However, there still are some challenges people need to overcome, which contains requirement of substantial funding and unknown costs of maintenance, lack of performance data, and lack of understanding and close cooperation. This review also expects to reduce loss and damage loss of urban waterlogging as far as possible and to achieve combination a variety of those techniques to solve urban waterlogging in future.

Authors: Qin Xinmao , Yan Wanjun , Li Dongxiang , Zhang Zhongzheng
Published: July 2022

The effect of two-dimensional borophene on the adsorption properties of gas molecules was studied by first-principles method. The adsorption energies of gas molecule on the four adsorbed site were first computed. Through compare these adsorption energies of different adsorbed site, the most stable of adsorption configuration were determined. In order to confirm the interaction mechanism of gas molecule and borophene, the charge population of borophene-gas molecule  were computed. The calculated shows that the CO, NO and NO2 molecule are adsorbed on the borophene nanosheet with chemical adsorption. The further charge population analysis of the borophene-CO and the borophene-NO adsorption system shows that  the electrons transfer from borophene nanosheet to CO and NO molecule. It is can be seen that the borophene acts as electron donor and gas molecule acts as electron acceptor. Based on the above the calculation and analysis, we concluded that the borophene materials is an excellent candidates to detect gas molecules.

Le forme della solitudine: isolamento, co-isolamento, noia e sonno
Authors: Gonnella Elia
Published: July 2022

Man avoids solitude through divertissement because he is afraid of what staying alone entails: thinking about himself (Pascal). Furthermore, man seeks isolation in order to gain ambition and reputation (Montaigne). However, solitude is really different from isolation and it is a fundamental emotional condition. Heidegger’s analysis of the forms of boredom adapts to and relates to the specific dynamic of solitude, showing that it is a part of human being’s structure despite his experience appearing controversial. Even if man lives in modern apartments and one-room apartments, he is in a condition of co-isolation (Sloterdijk) that differs from solitude. There is a space solitude (Foucault) that involves – or can involve – human isolation, but we only experience essential solitude in sleep (Merleau-Ponty, Blanchot, Perec) where man detached himself from himself and he is really alone, from himself and the others. The forms of solitude lead the analysis towards impersonal activity.
Mostri e mirabilia naturae da Francis Bacon a Athanasius Kircher
Authors: Parigi Silvia
Published: July 2022

This essay explores the history of the concept of monstrum from Francis Bacon’s Novum Organum to Athanasius Kircher’s Mundus Subterraneaus (1664), as well as its relationship with the origins of science; as in the early modern age, the term monstra is considered as a synonym for mirabilia naturae. The introductory part focuses on the difficult definition of “monster”, starting from Aristotle’s famous sentence in De generatione animalium: whoever does not looks like his parents, or whatever happens in a different way from the “generality of cases”, is included within the category of the “monstrous”. Monster is a being, whose anomaly represents a warning; therefore, monsters may be considered as signs, susceptible of an allegorical, moral and even political interpretation. In another acceptation of the term, monsters may be considered as the privileged witnesses of the richness and fecundity of nature. In the second part, Bacon’s theory of monsters is exposed: they are classified as instantiae deviantes, within that interpretation of nature, through which the Lord Chancellor lays the epistemological foundations of the modern science. In the third, fourth and fifth parts, a taxonomy of monsters is given: at first, by means of the cabinets des curiosités, which flourished in sixteenth and seventeenth century Italy, from Naples to Rome, from Bologna to Milan, with famous collectors such as Ferrante Imperato, Ulisse Aldrovandi, Manfredo Settala, Athanasius Kircher; then, through the “books of secrets”, which are at the same time a new, successful literary genre and a way of thinking nature, an aspect of natural history. Among the “professors of secrets”, there are Giovan Battista Della Porta, Ambroise Paré, Leonardo Fioravanti, Jean Fernel, Pierre Borel, Kenelm Digby, and Athanasius Kircher, again, with some disciples of his, such as Kaspar Schott. Secrets of nature and mirabilia naturae are finally compared: the classical list of mirabilia, from Pliny the Elder to Kircher, completes the taxonomy of monsters. The sixth and last part of this essay offers an explicative theory of monsters and prodigies: the marvels of nature are magnetic phenomena, which seem to imply a mysterious action at a distance. Such magnetic action can be accounted for on the basis of the Renaissance, Ficinian and Neoplatonic concept of spirit – conceived as the universal vehicle of occult sympathies and antipathies - and then through the seventeenth concepts of corpuscular effluvia, introduced by Pierre Gassendi in his Physica (1658), and sphaera activitatis, produced by the effluvia which each body emits, and surrounding it. This sphere is the place when most of marvelous phenomena happen.

Brexit and Health: A Tragedy of Errors
Authors: McKee Martin , Atun Rifat
Published: July 2022

In 2015, a new word entered the English language. This was Brexit, short for “British Exit from the European Union”. The Conservative party, then led by David Cameron, had long been divided between those who believed that the United Kingdom’s (UK) future was only secure by remaining part of the by then 28 country European Union (EU) and those who portrayed the EU as some distant dictatorship, staffed by people who spent their days plotting how to damage the UK’s interests. The former view was held by most of the party’s Members of Parliament. The latter view was increasingly prevalent among the diminishing and ageing band of party members but, perhaps more importantly, the British tabloid press, dominated by a few powerful individuals. This split had existed for many years, seriously weakening the party, but the situation was becoming critical as the Conservatives were threatened, electorally, by the growth of the United Kingdom Independence Party. With no consistent, or indeed coherent policies except exiting the EU, it appealed especially to those who had been left behind by the process of globalization, a phenomenon that will be familiar to readers from the United States. Indeed, its leader, Nigel Farage, closely aligned himself with Donald Trump during the latter’s election campaign.
Refugee Resettlement: An Important but Neglected Part of Global Health
Authors: Agarwal Sumit
Published: July 2022

Seven days after taking the oath of office and with the stroke of a pen, President Trump halted any travel or immigration from seven specific countries, reduced the national quota for refugees from over 100,000 to just 50,000, and suspended all refugee admissions for 120 days, as well as specifically from Syria indefinitely. In a remarkable showing of solidarity, many medical and public health organizations published a letter to President Trump arguing that the travel and immigration ban would negatively affect the United States’ ability to attract foreign health professionals and researchers. They were glaringly silent on the other half of the executive order restricting refugee resettlement.

What are the odds that an impeccably conducted study in a high-impact scientific journal showing compelling – even incontrovertible – evidence that a consumer product is harmful, perhaps deadly, will lead to swift policy change to protect consumers? Just about nil, you guess? You’d be right, but of course you could argue that’s a “straw” question because everyone knows that no single study’s results can ever be considered incontrovertible.
Protecting the Public Health of Indian Tribes: the Indian Child Welfare Act
Authors: Gallegos Joaquin , Fort Kathryn
Published: July 2022

For thousands of years, Indian tribal governments developed the community environments that created healthy lives for American Indian and Alaska Native children. To support that mission, Congress passed the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, which establishes minimum federal standards states must follow when an American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) child is removed from her home. Courts and child welfare agencies are mandated to comply with a framework that prioritizes the placement of an AI/AN child within the child’s Indian tribe or community, and requires heightened assistance for their families. This premier child welfare law is at risk due to a number of legal attacks in federal court. This essay posits a unique framework that identifies these legal attacks on ICWA as not just attacks on a gold standard law in the child welfare system, but rather as an attack on the public health of Indian tribes. Any success of these legal threats could lead to the same adverse health outcomes produced by long-time Indian child removal policies.

The Island of Conclusions: Trying to Make Sense Out of Genetically Engineered Food
Authors: Crosby Guy
Published: July 2022

Several years ago a colleague introduced me to “The Island of Conclusions,” an allegory from the well-known children’s story “The Phantom Tollbooth” written by Norton Juster in 1961 (Juster 1961). In one section of the story the little boy Milo and his dog Tock are driving along in their magic car when suddenly they see a beautiful island. One by one they both jump to the island only to discover there are only rocks and twisted stumps. Confused, they ask a passerby where they are. “You’re on the Island of Conclusions. Make yourself at home,” said the passerby. “You’re apt to be here for some time.” “But how did we get here?” asked Milo. “You jumped, of course,” explained the passerby. “That’s the way everyone gets here. It’s really quite simple: every time you decide something without having a good reason, you jump to conclusions whether you like it or not.”

Though many celebrated the Republican failure last year to pass health care reform, it also contained a dark lining. For those who want wholesale changes to our broken system, it is discouraging to see that Republicans, who controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, were unable to overcome internal divisions and form a sufficient, guiding coalition for change. A key lesson from this experience for both parties is that a massive, concentrated effort will be needed to build enough buy-in to overhaul our health system.
Contingent Workers and Occupational Health: A Review on the Health Effects of Non-Traditional Work Arrangements​
Authors: Mullins Garry
Published: July 2022

The goal of this review is to show a relationship between employment arrangements and occupational health of workers, where contingency of employment has a negative, and perhaps, a causal relationship with worker health. To be included in this review, a study must have met the criteria of containing peer-reviewed results and analysis discussion on the relationship between occupational health and employment arrangements. Based on the criteria, the researcher narrowed down 43 articles out of 154 selected for review. Ten of the articles were primary studies that showed a difference between the health exposures of contingent workers versus core workers in the same workplace. The accompanying literature reviews included must have provided conclusive interpretation of data; those not included contained analyses that were essentially redundant to earlier reviews. Search terms included, “occupational health and contingent work,” “occupational health and precarious work,” “worker arrangements,” “occupational health and gig economy,” and “contingent workers.”  Although there are many occupational factors that can influence a worker’s health (such as industry and location specifics), trends across industry capacitate the author to claim an overall negative relationship between the use of contingent workers and occupational health.
Met hart en ziel. Socioloog én katholiek
Authors: Thung Mady A.
Published: July 2022

Author, Mady Thung, reflects on work and life of her husband Bert Laeyendecker. Laeyendecker was for a long time a leading sociologist in the Netherlands. Not only was he productive in the field of general sociology and sociology of religion, but also in broader subjects such as: modernity, modern culture, science and technology. Furthermore he was active in scientific associations, editorial boards and assessment committees. Because of this broad range of interest, after having described the first stages of his life and his active involvement in critical movements aiming at renewal of the Roman Catholic Church and his work as a professor in general sociology, she concentrates on his research projects dated from the period when they both participated in the work of the Multidisciplinair Centrum voor Kerk en Samenleving (the Multidisciplinary Center for Church and Society). Central themes of research, resulting in many publications, were (among others) critical analyses of the Western culture, and the concept of progress. Next to that Laeyendecker also published about the (mostly inadequate) reactions of the churches in the Netherlands (in particular the Roman Catholic Church) on changes in society after World War II and new religious consciousness. Although Laeyendecker noted that the Christian tradition has lost significant credibility, especially in its presentday rigid Roman Catholic form, the historical origin of that tradition remained important to him.

This studyincludes the number of ships operated, the number of passengersdeparted and arrived at Kasipute Port, and analyzing the serviceperformance of the Kasipute Port before and during the new normalera. The research method was carried out by collecting secondarydata as data recapitulation of ships operated and the volume ofpassengers departed and arrived at the Kasipute Port at the Office ofthe Bombana Regency Harbormaster then primary data was get byinterviewed passengers (respondents) and filling out questionnaires.It carried service quality analysis using Importance PerformanceAnalysis (IPA).The results showed that during the new normal era, the number ofships operated experienced the highest decline reaching 58% in May2020. Meanwhile, the largest percentage decrease of passengersduring the new normal era was 85% for departed passengers and77% for passengers arrived at Kasipute port in May 2020. Thedecline in the number of ships and passengers that occurred duringthe new normal era was partly due to the PSBB imposed by theBombana Regency Government since April 2020, so it limited themovement of people using the marine transportation mode. Basedon the results of the service quality analysis, the priority factors inimproving service performance before the new normal era atKasipute Port are the comfort of the ship (E1), cleanliness of the ship(C2), and the time of departure of the ship (D1), while the priorityfactors in improving service performance during the new normal erais the provision of masks by the port (E3), ship cleanliness (C2), shipdeparture time (D1) and ship comfort (E1).

The durability of the road flexural pavement structure is largelydetermined by the performance of each layer. One of these factors isthe strength and resilience of the subbase. Compaction inaccordance with applicable standards will produce roads with goodquality so that the road life is longer and there is less damage. Thepurpose of this study is to analyze the carrying capacity using CBR,the value of the field density with the sand cone test and thecorrelation of the CBR value and the Sand cone value of the B gradefoundation layer on the Tugu Munajah network. The researchmethod used is laboratory and field testing combined with adescriptive statistic approach.The results of the study indicate that the carrying capacity using theCBR amounted to 55.02% <60%, the density value field with sandcone test of 72.50% <90%. Correlation of CBR and Sand cone value atthe base layer (sub base course) is very strong at 0.998.

This research aims to identify the impact of delivery in full, on time (DIFOT), just in time (JIT), and logistics costs due to the expansion of odd-even policy on logistics activities in DKI Jakarta. This research used primary data obtained from the questionnaire distributed to business people in the logistics sector. The instrument model used in this study was multiple linear regression. The result shows that the three variables, which were delivery in full, on time (DIFOT), and just-in-time (JIT), has strong (significant) impacts on logistics activities. On the other hand, logistics cost has less impact on logistics activities since anticipation could still be done by hiring outsourcing partners for transportation vehicle units and adjusting distribution times for areas affected by odd-even policy.

Analysis of Processing Rare Earth Elements from Monazite as Tin by Product Mineral
Authors: Rochmadi Budi Nur
Published: July 2022

This paper focuses on industry attractiveness of processing monazite into Rare Earth Elements (REE). The analysis is using Porter’s Five Forces (PFF). PFF is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy development developed by Michael E. Porter. In addition, we took four of the six Politics Economic Social Technology Environment and Legal (PESTEL) analyzes to see if there is an impact of these four factors in deriving the conclusion. With combined factors of increasing demand on China’s domestic and the soaring world consumption of growing-demand products have impacted to shortfall of supply. The total demand for selected REE in 2040 is projected to increase around 300% compared to 2010. With current supply unless new Rare Earth Oxides (REO) production is developed, the shortage will become even wider. Based on PFF analysis the Rare Earth (RE) Processing Industry is currently attractive. It indicates that the existing players are enjoying healthy margin. Three factors are showing weak, they are: threat of entrance, rivalry amongst existing player and threat of substitution. The bargaining Power of supplier and bargaining power of buyers are both classified as moderate. In general, the industry outlook is promising as it is predicted the demand still outstrip the supply for the next 5-10 years.
