Authors: Wang Yifei , Li Limin
Published: June 2023

Red Chinese movies depict heroic individuals who make significant contributions to the nation, and these films play a vital role in constructing the national image of new China. This paper explores the images of heroic individuals in red Chinese movies using multimodal action theory. The findings indicate that these individuals are characterized by their selfless sacrifices for their country, fearless perseverance, embodiment of international communist ideals, and unwavering devotion and warmth. The study also reveals that facial expressions, body movements, and language serve as critical mediational means in shaping these characters, while other forms of mediation are underutilized. Recommendations include employing more mediational means to create more nuanced and complex characters in future red Chinese movies.

Authors: Hu Huimin , Zhang Fuqing
Published: June 2023

Garbage classification is in line with China's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and ecological advancement, but during its implementation, it faces the dilemma of a mismatch between supply and demand. Based on the theoretical framework of public service accessibility, this paper uses the scale definition method and SPSS software to empirically study the accessibility of scope, cognitive accessibility, and content of garbage classification in the city of Z as a case study. The results show that the affordability of garbage classification is better than the accessibility of geographic distance and time, and the affordability is significantly and positively correlated with residents' income; the cognitive accessibility is good overall, and the willingness and habit of sorting are average; the accessibility of facilities is better than the accessibility of service items. Given the problems of accessibility of garbage classification in Z city, relevant countermeasures are suggested.

The Tragedy of Dorian Gray: From the Perspective of Lacan’s Three Registers Hypothesis
Authors: Zhao Mingyang
Published: June 2023

Oscar Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, tells a story of the conflict between soul and body, with a tragic suicide of Dorian Gray as an end. Analyzing the reasons for the protagonist’s suicide tragedy in The Picture of Dorian Gray can help readers better understand the development and literary connotation of the novel. This article takes Lacan’s three registers hypothesis psychoanalytic method as the theoretical perspective, returns to the original text, focuses on the protagonist’s psychological characteristics and interaction with the “Others,” and analyzes the inner interaction of the “three registers hypothesis” in his growth process, thereby interpreting the reasons why Dorian Gray commits a tragic suicide. This paper believes that Dorian Gray leads to his internal imbalance while seeking harmony between the Imaginary and the Symbolic, eventually leading to his suicide. Analyzing the tragedy of Dorian Gray from the perspective of Lacan’s “three registers hypothesis” theory enables readers and researchers to have a deeper understanding of the character of the protagonist in the novel.

The investigation of the impact of accountability and transparency on the delivery of educational services based on the 2009 Race to the Top education reform in the United States
Authors: Zhuang Yihao
Published: June 2023

In this paper, it will be discussed how the education system can change the accountability system and information transparency interference to achieve better delivery of education services. An accountability system means the existence of systems where individuals and institutions are held to account, and where they are incentivized, monitored, and supported in effective ways. Transparency interventions are the methods to disclose information to the general public. A case study of the Race to the Top (RttT) program implemented in the United States in 2009 and the value-added evaluation of teachers concluded that a competitive education grant program can stimulate reform of the national education system, both in funded and unfunded districts. The positive impact of the program on the funded states is insignificant. The reason may be that the spillover effect of the program makes the unaided states enhance their educational delivery autonomously and blurs the distinction between the funded states and them. A value-added evaluation system that overemphasizes achievement has led to "test score pollution" that undermines the ability of test scores to effectively reflect educational achievement. Excessive education system reform has also placed administrative and operational burdens and increased costs on the education sector. In addition, the lack of acceptance of the "citizen's voice" makes the program lack critical elements of public satisfaction and performance completion.
The Impact of Language Policy on National Identity in Timor-Leste from an Incrementalism Perspective
Authors: Wu Fan , Zhang Xinrui
Published: June 2023

In the early years of its existence, Timor-Leste's government adopted a number of policies to build a national identity in order to achieve national stability and development, of which language policy was an important component. In the wake of the 2006 crisis in Timor-Leste, the government has continued to improve its language policy in response to the social situation. This paper presents a systematic analysis of East Timorese language policy through progressivism theory. It is argued that although improvements in East Timorese language policy have continued, they have been slow and still favour Portuguese. This has created intergenerational differences and marginalised unofficial language groups. This has undoubtedly harmed the construction of its national identity, and the lack of legislation has put Tetum, the national language, in a relatively awkward position. This paper argues that there is still much room for reform in the educational and legislative aspects of language policy in East Timor.

Given the increasing importance of technology in meeting human needs, its utilization has become crucial. In contemporary democracies, where public trust in governments is declining and elections play a pivotal role, the widespread adoption of technology has led to new challenges. Elections hold significant importance as they determine the future leaders of countries or organizations. However, certain computerized voting systems have faced criticism for their lack of transparency. Establishing public trust in the government is a formidable task due to the lack of transparency and susceptibility to exploitation in existing voting procedures. Both traditional and current digital voting systems are ineffective due to their vulnerabilities. The main objective is to address issues in conventional and electronic voting systems, including errors and unfairness that may arise during the voting process. Integrating blockchain technology into the electoral process can ensure fair elections and reduce unfair practices. The computerized voting methods do not meet the necessary standards for widespread usage, and the physical voting systems also face numerous issues. This underscores the importance of finding a solution to protect the democratic principles of citizens. By offering a fast and secure voting method, this system has the potential to bring about a revolutionary change in the electoral process. It could lead to higher voter participation and more accurate election results. The proposed approach presents a framework for digital voting using blockchain technology, eliminating the need for physical polling locations. Our suggested design incorporates adaptable consensus algorithms to support a scalable blockchain. Smart contracts ensure secure interactions between users and the network during transaction execution. The security aspects of the blockchain-based voting mechanism have also been addressed, including the use of cryptographic hashes for transaction encryption and prevention of 51% attacks. Furthermore, blockchain technology has been utilized to establish transaction systems throughout the voting process. Performance studies of the proposed system demonstrate its feasibility for deployment in large populations.

Rice is one of the most important staple crops worldwide, and rice plant diseases are a significant threat to global food security. Early detection and accurate classification of these diseases are crucial for effective disease management and prevention of crop losses. In this paper, we propose a novel computational intelligence-based technique for rice disease detection and classification. Our proposed method is composed of a residual network-based feature extractor followed by a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) classifier. We use a publicly available rice leaf dataset to evaluate the performance of our proposed method. The results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in identifying diseased rice plants, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods. We also compare our proposed method against other methods using different performance metrics, showing its superior performance. The proposed method provides a promising approach to enhance rice crop health management and can be adapted and customized for other crops and agricultural settings. The proposed computational intelligence-based technique for rice disease detection and classification has significant implications for improving crop productivity and ensuring food security.

Asperger's syndrome, difficulties with disintegration in children, and autism are all included in the category of complex neurodevelopmental diseases known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Individuals who are autistic struggle greatly to keep up with society's speed, have poor communication skills, and struggle to express their emotions in the right ways. Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve the long-term outcomes for children with ASD. Several studies have identified key characteristics of autism using a variety of methods, including feature extraction, eye tracking, and speech recognition. As opposed to a person's emotional condition, facial recognition is more crucial in identifying autism. Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve the long-term outcomes for children with ASD. Hence, cutting-edge information technology that employs artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has assisted in the early diagnosis of ASD based on face pattern recognition. Among these techniques are deep learning (DL) have been utilized or suggested for detecting autism in youngsters. Herein, we applied a technique for accurate autism detection in children using facial analysis with the aid of computational intelligence. The proposed approach involves analyzing facial features and expressions to identify patterns which are associated with ASD. This is achieved by leveraging application of convolutional neural network (CNNs) to extract meaningful features from facial images. The extracted features are used to accurately classify children as either having or not having ASD. To evaluate the proposed approach, a dataset of facial images of children with and without ASD is used to train and validate the proposed technique. Also, to assess their performance in accurately detecting ASD. The proposed technique has the potential to revolutionize the way ASD is diagnosed by providing an objective and reliable tool for early detection and intervention.

Zinc and phosphorus availability to wheat as affected by humic substances in calcareous and siliceous growth media
Authors: MORENO-LORA Aurora , DELGADO Antonio
Published: June 2023

Aim of study: Humic substances (HS) have an impact on the dynamics of phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) in soil and consequently can affect the availability of both nutrients to plants. This work aimed to study the effect of humic substances on the availability of P and Zn to wheat depending on the main sorbent surfaces in growth media.
Area of study: Growth chambers of the Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineering, University of Seville, Spain
Material and methods: To this end, a pot experiment was performed involving three factors: i) HS rates, ii) Zn fertilization, and iii) type of growth medium, calcareous and noncalcareous (siliceous).
Main results: Biomass production and Zn uptake by plants decreased with increasing HS rates. Humic substances decreased Zn uptake more markedly in the siliceous medium. Negative effects of HS can be ascribed to altered crop nutrition and the high aromaticity of HS that can promote phytotoxic effects. The antagonistic effect between P and Zn was less evident in the calcareous medium than in the siliceous medium. This is probably explained by the reduced availability of Zn and the consequent decrease in uptake by plants in the calcareous medium compared to the siliceous medium. These differences observed between both media can be ascribed to different adsorption dynamics depending on the main sorbent surfaces.
Research highlights: The addition of HS, at the intermediate rates studied, had a positive effect on the microbial activity of the rhizosphere in the calcareous medium. Thus, not only crop functioning, but also soil biology, can be affected by the application of HS. This effect can be different depending on the HS rates applied and the type of growth medium.

Published: June 2023

Purpose:

This study proposes to establish in-depth inspection of the anatomic structures involved with the pathology of athletic pubalgia in a cadaver model.

Methods:

Eight male fresh frozen cadavers were dissected in a layered fashion. The rectus abdominis (RA) and adductor longus (AL) tendon insertions were isolated to quantify the size of the anatomic footprint and distance from the surrounding anatomy.

Results:

The RA insertional footprint was 1.65 cm (SD, 0.18) in width by 1.02 cm (SD, 0.26) in length, and the AL insertional footprint on the underside of the pubis was 1.95 cm (SD, 0.28) in length by 1.23 cm (SD, 0.33) in width. The ilioinguinal nerve was 2.49 cm (SD, 0.36) lateral to the center of the RA footprint and 2.01 cm (SD, 0.37) lateral to the center of the AL footprint. The spermatic cord and the genitofemoral nerve were just lateral to the ilioinguinal nerve and were 2.76 cm (SD, 0.44) and 2.66 cm (SD, 0.46) from the rectus and AL footprints, respectively.

Conclusion:

Surgeons should be cognizant of these anatomic relations during both initial dissection and tendon repair to optimize repair and avoid iatrogenic injury to critical structures in the anterior pelvis.

One of the major organs in the body is the skin, which shields the body from numerous sorts of external stimuli and harm as well as moisture loss due to constant exposure to sunlight. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) light exposure has a negative impact by causing DNA damage that may ultimately lead to transformation. Although there are several sunscreen chemicals in use, their effectiveness and safety are still up for debate. Effectiveness is assessed using indicators such as the degree of sun protection and the protection factor against chronic pigment darkening. Sunscreen is a substance that protects the skin from excessive UV exposure. Due to their ability to shield skin from sunburns caused by UV radiation, sunscreen use is widely prescribed for sun protection (the sun protection factor or SPF). Sunscreens can be found in a variety of forms, including cream, lotion, gel, sticks, sprays, and lip balms. They can only be used externally. A review of organic sunscreen ingredients has been made.

The main hypothesis of this article is a possibility of creating a new conventionbyChina and Russia for protecting the fundamental human right to freedom of religion and conscience on a new international level, independent from the West. The need of developing such a convention or even a new international organization is conditioned by the withdrawal of Russia from the Council of Europe and the European Convention on Human Rights. We suggest that this cooperation can be beneficial for both parties because it should help secure their sovereignty and improve the implementation of national legislations. The aim of our research is to propose measures of increasing the efficiency of realization of freedom of religion and conscience in China in Russia. In oder to reach it, we employed such methods of legal comparativistics as functional, normative and external comparative analysis andstudiedthe Chinese and Russianspecifics of the legal recognition and protectionof this right. The findingsof our studysuggest that theexisting limitations of itshould be seen as a response to challenges China and Russia have been facing as developing multicultural and policonfessional states. We also discovered that despite its cultural, ideological and political differences, Russia and China share a number of almost identical mechanisms for the realisation of religious liberty.

Objective: This study systematically identifies different wellness domains, explores whether we are reaching any consensus, and presents an archetype of a wellness model. Methods: Studies were selected for review if they proposed a model for assessing individuals’ wellness, the model was generic (i.e., non-context or disease-specific), designed for adults and included at least physical, psychological and social domains. Furthermore, the study needed to be peer-reviewed with a full-text available in English. Based on this, 44 models were identified and their domains were extracted and grouped using thematic analysis, and placed under themes that were created using quantitative methods. Publication year and formed groupings were used to examine the evolution of models. Median, mode, and percentages were used to form the archetype. Results: The investigated models included 379 unique domains that could be clustered into 70 groups and under 14 themes. While the numbers of published wellness models increased, no consensus on the domains was reached. The majority of the models were presented at one level with five domains. Conclusions: Incorporating wellness into everyday practice requires comparable measures to evaluate and benchmark outcomes. Hence, we need to reach a mutual understanding on the structure and domains of wellness.

Published: June 2023

Tree nuts and groundnuts nowadays are gaining popularity due to their health benefits. Nut kernels that can be eaten raw or roasted are becoming increasingly popular in healthy diet, including canarium nut. Therefore, it should be used into a variety of food compositions, including butter, to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle. The objective of the research was to determine the exact sugar concentration in the production of canarium nut butter. A completely randomized experimental design with four levels of sugar concentrations i.e. 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% was applied in this research. Chemical and sensory properties were analysed. Results showed that the sugar concentration of 40% was the exact concentration for producing canarium nut butter. The canarium nut butter at 40% sugar concentration had a moisture content of 17.70%, an ash content of 2.68%, a protein content of 6.19%, a fat content of 32.69%, and a reducing sugar content of 25.31%. Canarium nut butter at 40% sugar was also more liked on taste, texture, and its overall likeness; it was only slightly liked on aroma. This butter was rated as sweet, having a nutty aroma, smooth, and very easy to spread.

Plantes soignantes
Authors: Mulhauser Blaise
Published: June 2023

En marge de la médecine moderne, femmes et hommes du monde entier et de toutes les cultures cherchent à retrouver la santé par des moyens «naturels», en particulier par des traitements à base de végétaux. Or, les plantes n’ayant pas développé leurs molécules à l’intention d’Homo sapiens, pourquoi sommes-nous si réceptifs à leurs principes actifs ? Ainsi débute cet étonnant récit sur le pouvoir des plantes et la volonté des humains à l’utiliser pour le bien de chacune et chacun.
Autour de l’écologue Blaise Mulhauser, un groupe interdisciplinaire de spécialistes en biologie, médecine, ethnobotanique, anthropologie de la nature et anthropologie de l’alimentation reprend l’histoire des plantes soignantes là où la culture occidentale du 19e siècle l’avait abandonnée, à la frontière de l’intime, du rapport au corps, au moi et aux autres.
Construit en trois parties, le livre traite d’abord de la raison d’être des substances actives des plantes pour elles-mêmes, avant d’aborder les sources de la connaissance phytothérapeutique dans les sociétés de peuples dits « autochtones » et en Occident. La dernière partie met en exergue le désir des individus à retrouver la maîtrise de leur santé (automédication par les plantes, alicaments, etc.) jusqu’à l’arrivée de la pandémie de Covid-19, perçue comme un point de basculement.

People can participate in the investment process and generate income by placing their money in a variety of physical and financial assets. Because life is uncertain and the future cannot be predicted, one must invest in order to protect their future. Among other things, investors put money into the market with the hopes of making money, feeling secure, and appreciating their investments. A young investor has a wide range of investment options because, up until the age of 40, he will be able to generate a respectable return on his investment and has a reasonable risk tolerance and time horizon. Numerous investing possibilities are available, such as bank deposits, the equity market, mutual funds, and other financial instruments real estate, post office deposits, and actual gold. The study's major objective is to identify the preferences of young investors—those who are between the ages of 21 and 35—in the contemporary setting. The sentiments of the investors can vary from person to person even within the same age range. The researchers have looked into the various preferences among young investors using an easy-to-complete questionnaire and direct contact with the investors.

Onderzoek door advocaten: het tuchtrechtelijk kader

Er is veel te doen omtrent eigen onderzoeken en de richtlijnen die gelden voor de partijen die het onderzoek in opdracht van een organisatie verrichten. Deze bijdrage geeft een algemeen overzicht van het normenkader waaraan een advocaat bij het verrichten van een dergelijk onderzoek moet voldoen. Dit normenkader vindt zijn basis in kernwaarden en de (beroeps- en gedrags)regels die gelden voor advocaten en heeft zich in de loop van de jaren door middel van het tuchtrecht ontwikkeld.
