With the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of people's educational level, the words or sentences used in speaking have become shorter and shorter, but the meanings they want to express have become more and more complicated. Especially when deliver their emotions, the listener often does not realize the emotions that the speaker wants to deliver. If you want to accurately understand the feelings that the speaker wants to convey, you must combine the specific context. Because only the context can help the listener to more accurately understand the feelings that the speaker wants to express in future communication. Color can also try to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings that should not occur, so the text is based on Firth’s context graphs from the perspective of the listener to study the impact of communicative context on polysyllable derogatory words.

Chinese intellectuals's attachment to ink stick and food: Based on 《Dongpotiba(東坡題跋)》 and 《Suiyuanshidan(隨園食單)》 text
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, . .
Published: September 2020

In this paper, the two texts of ≪Dongpotiba(東坡題跋)≫ and ≪Suiyuanshidan(隨園 食單)≫ were used as research subjects to examine how Chinese intellectuals were able to express and categorize their desires in narrative behavior and examine the value of their narratives. For Chinese intellectuals, the propositions of 'reason' and 'desire' have always been important. Chinese writers were wary of the desire that could be realized by will, and tabooed. These taboos were essential and natural acts in the process of preserving and restoring nature. Among desires, the most important thing to be wary of is appetite and material desire. Power has always assumed a concept that transcends the desires of each subject and has induced or forced it to converge here. But unexcited desires will only be suppressed. Desire creates a way of expressing itself, which is text. The moment desire is printed, desire no longer becomes a personal desire, but a new subject that interacts in the network of existence of targeted relationships. Such generated text is categorized as knowledge or discourse and given new narrative value. Su Shi's ≪Dongpotiba(東坡題跋)≫ and Yuan Mei's ≪Suiyuanshidan(隨園食單)≫ are text generated by the projection of individual desires on the target. Readers can find in these two texts one aspect of the individual's enjoyment and desire for a favorite object. The existence of these two texts shows the process in which personal desires and pleasures that had been taboo to Chinese writers are returned to knowledge or philosophical discourse. In addition, this aspect is also a characteristic of Chinese writing. In this respect, the two texts are resonant beyond the differences of the times.

Shen Congwen is a contemporary Chinese novelist and prose writer who clearly shows his unique values and standards. Novels of Shen Congwen are closely associated with his experiences. Among them, works written using first-person narratives based on his personal experiences stand out. Most of his first-person narrative novels describe his childhood when he did not have a sense of reason, the scenery of an amiable and humane farming village, and his experience of suffering from poverty and longing for human affection after arriving at the city. Also, his writings are filled with his military life, which was fulfilled and free of confinement and restriction. It is probably because person-person narratives can create the greatest artistic effect of showing the honesty of the author. Novels of Shen Congwen use many first-person narratives because this method was chosen to deliver the author’s experiences to readers vividly. Since first-person narratives focus on the inner side or actions of the protagonist in novels, they have an additional effect of drawing the imaginative attention of readers to the time and space inside works. Therefore, first-person narrative novels of Shen Congwen can be seen as a very effective narrative strategy to win great sympathy and impress readers by focusing on his personal experiences. In other words, first-person narratives are examined as a narrative strategy to increase the honesty of stories inside novels and to gain sympathy and empathy with the narrator. In this sense, this paper aims to find out how Shen Congwen reproduces and arouses sympathy in first-person narrative novels written based on his personal experiences and to examine the narrative effects of first-person narratives that appear in his novels.

Published: September 2020

It can be read as a work that leaves room for some kind of cultural interpretation in this movement, or mobility society. The film, which can be evaluated as a reproduction of the original novel as it is, basically begins with an epic about “Movement.” No paper has yet been published in Korea that approaches the direction of this study, which seeks to approach the film itself from the perspective of mobility and movement, conflict and boundary crossing. No original novel or film has ever been directly dealt with in Korean modern literature and Chinese film-related academia. In the main school, the main focus of the narrative is on the movie, the narrative and conflict of the film centered on Jane, and the cultural criticism of overcoming the conflict through movement. We will then analyze the narrative and conflict characteristics of the film and follow the flow of conflict, empathy and reconciliation through another narrative axis of movement. In part, in the film, the flow of narratives described in a contextual manner is intended to be presented through quotations from the original novel and direct quotes from the movie lines and narration.
Completion of Min Yongyik’s materials in Wu Changshuo's Art Chronology
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, Moon Mijin
Published: September 2020

Wu Changshuo is the master of the four generations of “poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing”, among which seal engraving has the greatest achievements. He himself once said, “People say that I am good at painting. In fact, my calligraphy is better than painting, and my seal engraving is better than calligraphy.” So he likes to call himself “Panhandler of seal.” Wu Changshuo lived a poor life around the age of 40. However, God did not abandon this artistic genius, and let him meet Min Yongyik, a foreign minister in the late Korean dynasty, who was addicted to seal, stayed in Shanghai for more than 20 years, and famous seal engravers were met. Min came to China as an exile at the age of 27, and spent his life as a fugitive calligrapher and painter in Shanghai. He has a wealth of money in his life, no worries about food and clothing, providing Wu Changshuo with a fairly stable and solid economic source, and even let him play his artistic talent with peace of mind. Wu Changshuo wrote in the preface of the long poem “The wail of Panhandler of orchid” written after Min Yongyik's death: “When Min lived in Shanghai for more than 30 years, he was fond of seal a seal engraving, and played for more than three hundred stones”. A famous seal engraver actually carved more than 300 square seals for one person, the number is so staggering, it can be inferred that between Wu Changshuo and Min Yongyik, not only the relationship between the buyer and the seller, but also they have the same intimate relationship with Boya and Zhong Ziqi, a pair of like-minded friends. Wu Changshuo's seal margin is the record of their communication. Through analyzing the margin left by Wu Changshuo and related materials, this paper aims to explore the change process of their communication, and this can help modify the Wu Changshuo's art chronology.

Since the 21st century, with the broadening of research region and the emergence of new linguistic theories, the classification of Chinese-Korean verbs in academic circle is no longer limited to the perspective of classification under traditional grammar rules. There has been research on the classification of verbs from new perspectives such as light verb theory, typology linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and the research results show that new subcategories such as light verbs, unaccusativeverbs and unergative verbs, absolutive verbs and ergative verbs have been applied. The Chinese-Korean internal structure of the verb systems have changed as well, showing the trend that the subcategories become more differentiated, but the internal structure is more concise and has stronger explanatory power. After comparing the new and the old classification systems of Chinese-Korean verbs and summarizing the classification and subcategories of verbs in Chinese and Korean, it can be seen that the Chinese-Korean linguistic circle attach great importance to the application of new theories when studying the subcategories of verbs; but the Chinese academic circle seem to be one step ahead in the application of the new theory to constructing the macroscopic study of verb system; and the research on the classification system of verbs in Korean still needs improvement.
Energy Sustainability Paradox: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Solar LED Street Lights in Sokoto, Nigeria
Authors: Bello-Yusuf S. , Bello A.
Published: September 2020

Sustainability, quest for greener environment and energy/cost savings are some of the driving forces for the global push in utilizing renewable energy resources for powering street lights especially those located in densely populated areas. Photo-voltaic and LED technologies are considered by many as a match made in heaven as they are essential if not mandatory for achieving these goals. For 11 years (between 2007 and 2018), there has been a significant effort by Sokoto State Government to light up streets in the central part of the city using these two technologies. Using a descriptive approach, the paper established the status, challenges and opportunities associated with solar powered Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lights in Sokoto over the 11 years period. Out of 450 installed units in the city, only 25% are functional at present. The number is also gradually diminishing. The technological, social and institutional challenges associated with managing LED street light devices in the city were equally discussed. Promises of the technology, climatic conditions of the city and current push for metropolitan security are among the potential drivers for continuous implementation of the technology in the city. However, while the available solar power in the city serves as a driving force, its association with higher temperatures makes equipment maintenance difficult thereby undermining sustainability.

Thus, the study broadly investigated social media use and electoral violence among the youth in Kenya using two objectives that were to assess the use of social media platforms among the youth and to investigate the relationship between social media use and electoral violence among the youth. Guided by the Dependency Theory and the Social Responsibility Theory, the study was carried out in Mathare Constituency, Nairobi County, Kenya. Data collection involved questionnaires, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Analysis of quantitative data was by descriptive statistics and regression while qualitative data was analyzed through transcription. The study findings showed that the use of social media platforms in communication has been growing with WhatsApp becoming the most ‘preferred’ platform in Kenya. The study outcome exposed the fact that social media had an important and positive effect on electoral violence among the Kenyan youth in Mathare (R = .812). On the other hand, social media (Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram) had a strong explanatory strength on electoral violence among the Kenyan youth in Mathare (R2 = .659). This means that social media accounts for 65.9 percent of electoral violence among the Kenyan youth in Mathare Constituency, Nairobi County. The study, therefore, concluded that there is a relationship between social media and electoral violence among the Kenyan youth in Mathare. The study finally recommends that the government should embrace and enforce self-regulation mechanisms by Internet service providers to deter incitement.

System Dynamics in the Combination of Conventional and Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Dynamics of Contagion, Treatment and Cure in the SARS Covid-19
Authors: Sant’ana Jorge Luiz Guedes , Vanzin Tarcisio
Published: September 2020

In recent history, humanity is experiencing a confrontation with an invisible enemy, the Covid-19 virus. Even with all the technological resources available, man found himself powerless and thousands of lives have already been lost. It turns out that different ways of coping with the pandemic have obtained different results in terms of effectiveness in reducing the number of deaths. In this sense, the objective of this article is to represent the dynamics of coping with the SARS Covid-19 pandemic with the simulation of scenarios that used Conventional Medicine combined or not with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The method employed was a mathematical simulation model of system dynamics developed based on 12 randomized controlled clinical studies. The model was used to test four policies to mitigate the effects of Covid-19: i) adequate treatment conditions combining the two techniques; ii) reductions in the administration fee and time of using the TCM; iii) total withdrawal of treatment with TCM and iv) no treatment. The results demonstrates the main actions in the fight against Covid-19, with the invasion of the virus, the compromise of the patient, the defenses and behavior of the organism and the treatment actions only with conventional medicine or combined with traditional Chinese medicine. Thus, the model allows reflecting on how and when to use the available resources, in addition to exploring a new tool in terms of Western science, respecting the very limits that the model provides. Furthermore, this model provides health professionals and scientists with a tool that allows them to dynamically monitor real-time scenarios and simulate future situations regarding decision-making in events that need to be analyzed immediately, such as pandemic and epidemic situations.

Published: September 2020

Background and AimsThis randomized, open label experimental study was undertaken to observe the ease of insertion, time taken for insertion of LMA supreme and ease of gastric tube insertion. Thirty adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia were assessed. Ease of insertion of LMA supreme and Gastric Tube was assessed with number of attempts required for insertion. Time taken for insertion and post-operative side effects of LMA supreme insertion were also observed. The demographic profile of patients was comparable. In our study out of 30 patients, LMA supreme was inserted in first attempt in 27 (90.00%) patients, only 3 (10.00%) patients required second attempt. Mean time taken for insertion of LMA supreme was 7.30±3.03 seconds. Gastric tube insertion was Easy in 29 (96.7%) and Impossible in 1 (3.33%). Hemodynamic response to insertion were similar in all patients and adverse effects were not significant. The LMA supreme takes 8 seconds for insertion, with post-operative sore throat in 1 (3.33%) patient after 24 hours of surgery. LMA supreme can be considered as preferred choice of airway for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia
Peas in a Pod? Radius Correlations in Kepler Multiplanet Systems
Authors: Murchikova Lena , Tremaine Scott
Published: September 2020

We address the claim of Weiss et al. that the radii of adjacent planets in Kepler multiplanet systems are correlated. We explore two simple toy models—in the first the radii of the planets are chosen at random from a single universal distribution, and in the second we postulate several types of systems with distinct radius distributions. We show that an apparent correlation between the radii of adjacent planets similar to the one reported by Weiss can arise in both models. In addition the second model fits the radius and signal-to-noise distribution of the observed planets. We also comment on the validity of a commonly used correction that is used to estimate intrinsic planet occurrence rates, based on weighting planets by the inverse of their detectability.

The high-quality light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) represent a unique laboratory for the study of stellar rotation, which is a fundamental observable driving stellar and planetary evolution, including planetary atmospheres and impacting habitability conditions and the genesis of life around stars. As of 2020 April 14, this mission delivered public light curves for 1000 TESS objects of interest (TOIs), observed with a 2 minute cadence during the first 20 months of the mission. Here, we present a search for rotation signatures in these TOIs, using fast Fourier transform, Lomb–Scargle, and wavelet techniques, accompanied by a rigorous visual inspection. This effort revealed 163 targets with rotation signatures, 131 of which present unambiguous rotation periods ranging from 0.321 and 13.219 days, whereas 32 of them present dubious rotation periodicities. Of these stars, 109 show flux fluctuations whose root cause is not clearly identified. For 714 TOIs, the light curves show a noisy behavior, corresponding to typically low-amplitude signals. Our analysis has also revealed 10 TOI stars with pulsation periodicities ranging from 0.049 to 2.995 days and four eclipsing binaries. With upcoming TESS data releases, our periodicity analysis will be expanded to almost all TOI stars, thereby contributing in defining criteria for follow-up strategy itself, and the study of star–planet interactions, surface dynamic of host stars, and habitability conditions in planets, among other aspects. In this context, a living catalog is maintained on the Filtergraph visualization portal at https://filtergraph.com/tess_rotation_tois.

The recent detection of a neutron star merger by the LIGO collaboration has renewed interest in laboratory studies of r-process elements. Accurate modeling and interpretation of the electromagnetic transients following the mergers requires computationally expensive calculations of both the structure and opacity of all trans-iron elements. To date, the necessary atomic data to benchmark structure codes are incomplete or, in some cases, absent entirely. Within the available laboratory studies, the literature on Au i and Au ii provides incomplete reports of the emission lines and level structures. We present a new study of Au i and Au ii lines and levels by exposing a solid gold target to plasma in the Compact Toroidal Hybrid (CTH) experiment at Auburn University. A wavelength range from 187 to 800 nm was studied. In Au i, 86 lines are observed, 43 of which are unreported in the literature, and the energies of 18

 levels and 16 of the 18 known

 levels are corroborated by a least-squares level energy optimization. In Au ii, 76 emission lines are observed, and 51 of the lines are unreported in the literature. For both Au i and Au ii, the new lines predominantly originate from the most energetic of the known levels, and over half of the new Au ii lines have wavelengths longer than 300 nm. For the estimated electron parameters of CTH plasmas at the gold target (n
e ∼ 1012 cm−3, T
e ∼ 10 eV), two-electron transitions are similar in intensity to LS-allowed one-electron transitions.
Upgraded GMRT Observations of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies: The Observations
Authors: Lal Dharam V.
Published: September 2020

We have used the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to map the Coma cluster of galaxies at 250–500 MHz and 1050–1450 MHz bands. These 6.″26 and 2.″18 resolutions observations allow detailed radio structures to be determined of all detected radio sources that show both discrete pointlike and extended morphologies. We present images of a subset of 32 brightest (S

ν
≳ 30 mJy) and dominant sources, and several sources show discrete pointlike radio morphologies. We find the steepening of the spectra consistent with synchrotron cooling in the majority of sources and the median for spectral indices is −0.78, suggesting that ∼59% sources have steep spectra. The nature and the statistical properties of the radio sources in the Coma cluster will be discussed in subsequent papers.

We present a study of ultracompact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo cluster based mainly on imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Using ∼100 deg2 of u*giz imaging, we have identified more than 600 candidate UCDs, from the core of Virgo out to its virial radius. Candidates have been selected through a combination of magnitudes, ellipticities, colors, surface brightnesses, half-light radii, and, when available, radial velocities. Candidates were also visually validated from deep NGVS images. Subsamples of varying completeness and purity have been defined to explore the properties of UCDs and compare to those of globular clusters and the nuclei of dwarf galaxies with the aim of delineating the nature and origins of UCDs. From a surface density map, we find the UCDs to be mostly concentrated within Virgo’s main subclusters, around its brightest galaxies. We identify several subsamples of UCDs—i.e., the brightest, largest, and those with the most pronounced and/or asymmetric envelopes—that could hold clues to the origin of UCDs and possible evolutionary links with dwarf nuclei. We find some evidence for such a connection from the existence of diffuse envelopes around some UCDs and comparisons of radial distributions of UCDs and nucleated galaxies within the cluster.
Face à l’échec
Authors: Albert Jean-Pierre
Published: September 2020

Après avoir apporté des clarifications sur les notions d’échec et de défaite, l’article envisage les situations qu’elles désignent au travers de trois problèmes : la part de la complexité du réel dans les difficultés à réagir à un insuccès ; les effets de la pluralité des systèmes de valeur sur leur relativisation ou leur requalification ; les ruses et dénis permettant de les rendre supportables – une des stratégies les plus fréquentes consistant à traiter les échecs comme des défaites dues aux intentions malveillantes d’un adversaire.
L’échec en politique

L’échec en politique est-il uniquement électoral ? Comment réagissent les femmes et les hommes politiques lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à un échec ? Existe-t-il des échecs glorieux ? La société postmoderne ne rend-elle pas permanent l’échec des élus ? Autant de questions posées à Alain Duhamel, observateur de la vie politique française depuis les années 1960.
Cingria antimoderne
Authors: Corbellari Alain
Published: September 2020

Le livre d’Antoine Compagnon sur Les Antimodernes ne fait pas la part qu’il mérite à Charles-Albert Cingria, dont le profil illustre parfaitement les critères proposés par le critique. On se propose donc ici de juger de l’exemplarité de Cingria à l’aune de ce concept, en le rapprochant en particulier de Léon Bloy, mais aussi de Nietzsche dont les affinités avec l’antimodernisme sont également incontestables.
Tessons et tesselles. Cingria anti-orientaliste
Authors: Mascarou Alain
Published: September 2020

L’un des aspects de l’idée de civilisation qui constitue le socle de l’œuvre de Cingria se manifeste dans la réhabilitation du symbole de Byzance et de la notion de lieu commun. Ce double combat, qu’il mène sur le plan intellectuel, esthétique, spirituel, il le livre moins au détriment des Lumières que contre l’orientalisme qui en est l’émanation. Sa pensée est marquée par le refus d’une conception individualiste des valeurs et la dénonciation d’un manque de recul transhistorique. Elle se construit à rebours des modes intellectuelles de son temps, dans le rejet de l’esprit de système et au nom d’une vision de la civilisation pérenne et fédératrice.
Parlement et réjouissances monarchiques à Paris au XVIII e siècle : mécanique et intérêt d’une joie décrétée
Authors: Valade Pauline
Published: September 2020

Au cours du xviii e  siècle, le Parlement de Paris constitue un pilier fondamental dans la légalisation des réjouissances monarchiques. Grâce au Parquet, un arrêt réglementaire conditionne les participations de chacun à la joie publique. Toutefois, les magistrats ont quelquefois manifesté un zèle déplacé dans la manière d’en appeler aux manifestations de joie publiques. Pour la Cour souveraine, il s’agissait d’un moyen de faire valoir leur importance dans l’administration monarchique, à l’heure où le souverain comptait de plus en plus sur les autorités de la Ville. En tant que détenteur de la « Grande Police », le Parlement engagea un conflit latent entre d’une part l’autorité des magistrats et, d’autre part, le roi et la Ville. L’instruction du procès à la suite du drame parisien le 30 mai 1770 en constitue le meilleur exemple.
