Authors: Ubed Haneef , Memon Irfan , Mangi Farman , Razaq Muhammad , Rahat Amina , Ahmed Zahoor
Published: March 2024

Background: The proliferation of mobile phone usage has given rise to concerns about the potential health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF), particularly in relation to heart rate variability (HRV), a key indicator of cardiac health. Previous studies have yielded inconsistent results using lower-order statistical measures, leaving a gap in understanding the nonlinear interactions between EMF exposure and HRV.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of mobile phone EMF on HRV by employing bicoherence analysis of ECG data. It sought to determine whether the position of EMF exposure relative to the heart and the duration of exposure affected HRV parameters.
Methods: Twenty subjects were recruited for the study, with ECG and EEG data collected under EMF and non-EMF conditions. ECG data were captured using a 12-lead system, with electrodes placed according to standard guidelines. EEG electrodes were positioned following the 10-20 system. Bicoherence and coherence analyses were conducted to assess nonlinear interactions in HRV activity and the relationship between heart and brain signals. The study also considered the duration of EMF exposure, comparing the effects of 10-minute and 40-minute sessions.
Results: The bicoherence values for ECG data during EMF exposure at the left ear showed negligible differences, with values ranging between 0.0 to 0.04. However, chest positions V1 and V2 revealed statistically significant larger bicoherence values during non-EMF trials as opposed to EMF trials. Coherence analysis between ECG and EEG demonstrated significantly higher values across the 16-30Hz frequency band during EMF trials. No significant differences were observed for 10-minute EMF exposure, whereas 40-minute exposure sessions indicated a correlation with changes in HRV.
Conclusion: The study's findings suggest that mobile phone EMF can affect HRV parameters, with the effects being more pronounced during longer exposure durations and when the source of EMF is closer to the heart. These results support the need for guidelines on safe mobile phone usage and further research into the effects of EMF on cardiac function.

The Balance between "Negative Liberty" and "Positive Liberty"
Authors: You Weining
Published: March 2024

John Stuart Mill, a prominent figure in classical liberalism, inherits the emphasis on individual spirit from earlier liberals such as Locke. He expanded this notion to include social liberty on the basis of political liberty, deepening the public understanding of individual freedom. To some extent, Mill's recognition of negative liberty and human diversity also corrects the classical political philosophy's singular and universal natural purpose. Moreover, his proposal of positive standards and purposes, based on negative liberty, not only complements and corrects classical liberalism but also offers solutions to the problems arising from neoliberalism in the contemporary world.

In this paper, one of the most important methodologies is the literature analysis, that is, the use of legal provisions and the original text of the judgment as the basis for the interpretation of the Tang Kwong Yu Tong case. Since the second half of the last century, a large number of scholars have been critical of the present-day land administration and traditions in Hong Kong, which have been regarded as a travesty of the law. However, an inquiry into the reasons for the existence of this custom in judicial practices requires not only legal analysis, but also consideration of the historical background. As a legal history paper, this paper will investigate the causes of land custom and the reasons for its continuation to the present day by combining case studies with historical knowledge. Despite the irrationalities and anachronisms of traditional land practices, these customs are bound to exist for a long period.
Study on the C-E Translation of Government Work Reports from 2019 to 2023 from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology
Authors: Kang Fei
Published: March 2024

Eco-translatology is a translation theory integrated with ecology. Publicity translation has a vital impact on making Chinese voices go global. Taking the C-E translation of Government Work Reports from 2019 to 2023 as an example, this paper analyzes their translation methods from the perspective of "three-dimensional" transformation, including linguistic dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension. At present, eco-translatology seldom focuses on the translation of publicity texts. According to the "three-dimensional" transformation, this paper aims to explore the translation rules of publicity texts with Government Work Reports as an example from the perspective of eco-translatology. Guided by eco-translatology, the translation of Government Work Reports can be further developed in the future.
Were the Enabling Conditions for Sino-US Rapprochement Unique or Could Better Relations Today be Built on Similar Conditions and Foundations?

The relationship between the United States and China has been a topic of great interest and concern for many decades. The history of US-China relations is marked by periods of both cooperation and conflict. A decisive moment in this transformation occurred at the end of 1978 with the normalisation of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC). Ping-Pong diplomacy was a stunning success that not only paved the way for Nixon's trip but also caused a sensation around the world (CCP Politburo's report on the US-China summit, 1971). However, in recent years, tensions between the two countries have risen significantly. Just as Nixon predicted during this low moment, his biographer, Richard Reeves, recounted how Nixon told him that the interests between China and the U.S. were fundamentally different over the long term and the clash between them "was inevitable" (Nixon, 1978). This essay takes the position that the conditions for rapprochement are unique and that building a stronger US-China relationship cannot be achieved by relying on similar conditions and foundations as those that enabled rapprochement in the 1970s.

The Thought of Governing Country and Employing People in the Period of Emperor Wu of Han
Authors: Wang Ruorui
Published: March 2024

The Han Dynasty is of great significance to the process of the unification of China, and the system of the Han Dynasty also laid the foundation for the political system of China for more than 1,000 years. Among them, Emperor Wu was the key figure in the transition of the Han Dynasty system. Scholars generally summarize the ruling thought of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty as external Confucianism and internal law, which is not accurate. From the analysis of the selection and appointment of the imperial officials in the Emperor Wu's dynasty, we can find that Emperor Wu's governance and employment strategy are based on his own will, which reflects strong functionalism and totalitarianism. Confucianism, as the mainstream thought advertised at that time, was more of a decoration.
