Authors: Du Jiaxin , Chen Yongfa
Published: May 2023

Objective The development of Inclusive Insurance is an important measure for the government to improve the level of catastrophic illness and improve the multi-level medical security system in China. Therefore, this paper is aimed at putting forward countermeasures and suggestions to promote the development of Inclusive Insurance by analyzing the main stakeholders involved. Method Based on the stakeholder theory, the stakeholders in the development of Inclusive Insurance were defined, and the driving and hindering factors of the development of Inclusive Insurance were clarified from the different demands of stakeholders. Conclusion Government departments, insurance institutions, and third-party platform companies are the main driving forces for the development of Inclusive Insurance, insured persons and medical institutions are the beneficiaries of the development of Inclusive Insurance, and pharmaceutical enterprises are potential promoters. However, the self-interest motivation of medical institutions may make it a resistance factor, and insurance institutions and insured persons are also easy to become a resistance factor when they suffer loss of interests. In this regard, in order to promote the formation of collaboration among multiple subjects and jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of Inclusive Insurance, the following suggestions are put forward: establishing an effective data sharing mechanism to help insurance institutions achieve customer development and in-depth operation; clarifying the role of government functions and the boundaries of government and enterprise responsibilities to safeguard the rights and interests of insurance companies; using incentive tools to mobilize the enthusiasm of insurance institutions and the public; strengthening product publicity to establish a correct insurance awareness; making full use of the resources of pharmaceutical enterprises to further ensure the accessibility of patients ' medication.
Reliability Modeling Method of Fresh Food Supply Chain System based on Bayesian Network
Authors: Xu Bin
Published: May 2023

By referring to the method of system reliability modeling in reliability engineering theory, the abstract problem of system operation failure of fresh supply chain is concretized. By constructing the operation sequence of each link in the system and the causal logic of event existence, the Bayesian network topology is constructed. The reliability model of the supply chain system is established to analyze the ability of the fresh supply chain from the production end to the consumption end of the supply chain system to operate smoothly. From the perspective of system reliability, the weak links of fresh supply chain are determined, which provides an effective model for accurately evaluating the system reliability of fresh supply chain.

Broken discus lamps from Roman Dacia
Authors: Postoș Răzvan-George ,   Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca
Published: May 2023

The present study analyses 46 mould-made Roman lamps, focusing on the deliberate partial or total removal of their discs, in order to facilitate the insertion of solid fuel (tallow) rather than olive oil. The latter had the disadvantages of being more expensive, more difficult to produce and distribute within the Empire, without being more calorically efficient than the solid alternative. Based on the information revealed by the contexts of discovery, respectively by the typological framing of the artifacts, an attempt has been made to establish a chronological frame during which these lamps were used. Following the analysis of the archaeological material concerned, a typology capturing four ways of cutting the disc of a lamp was created. The present study contributes to the valorisation of the lamps in a different manner, the local specialised literature often limiting itself to their property of providing alternative dating or modest forays into the minor arts.
A rare find at the Potaissa legionary fortress: two terracotta oinochoai (pinch-mouthed flagons) as private imports
Authors: Nedelea Luciana ,   Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca
Published: May 2023

The archaeological excavations carried out in the year 2012 within the praetentura sinistra (centuriae cohors quingenariae) of the legionary fortress from Potaissa led to the discovery of a special type of pottery that could belong to the category of the legionary wares. However, the two terracotta oinochoai do not belong to the repertoire of wares produced by the local workshops associated with the fortress. To this date they represent a rare type, as out of the approximately 10.000 individual wares analyzed for this garrison, only two such finds were made. They were recovered from the same waste pit together with other materials. Based on their typology, fabric composition and rarity, it can be concluded that they are personal/private imports, acquired at the same time, brought to Potaissa by possibly one of Legio V Macedonica’s soldiers and utilized within the same barrack until they were discarded.

Published: May 2023

A jug of Germanic type was found at the Migration period cemetery of Band during archaeological excavations performed there by Kovács István. The cemetery is part of the row – grave cemeteries which expand from Britain to Transylvania in this period. The vessel has analogies in the contemporary cemetery Bratei no. 3 (Sibiu County), and in contemporary cemeteries from the Hungarian Plain. The artifact might offer an insight into the changes which one can witness during the Early Avar Period, and might contribute to a better understanding of the cemetery, of the funeral rites, and of its chronology.

ABSTRACT:

Aim:

To determine the density and chemical structure of renal stones by using in vivo low dose helical computerized tomography.

Methods:

79 patients with renal or uretheral stones were included in our study who were going to have extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or planned to go through urinary stone surgery due to renal stones. All stone densities were measured in Hounsfield Unit by low dose abdominal non-contrast helical computed tomography examination. Marconi MX 8000 CT system with 4 detectors was used for the CT examination. X-Ray diffractometry was used in the analyses of all stones.

Results:

The stone type was found to be one type, and mixed stone in 27 patients. The largest group among the mixed stones included whevellite-weddellite stone with 17 patients. Uric acid stones had the smallest, whevellite stones had the highest density. The difference between the density values of uric acid and cystine stones and the other stone types were statistically significant.

Conclusion:

Non-contrast helical computed tomography used in the diagnosis can also be used in the in vivo determination of the stone composition. It can be very helpful to define stone compositions by imaging studies to provide suitable therapeutic alternatives.

A Typological Approach to Imperfect: Encoding Types and Semantic Features
Authors: Wu Xiuyi , Ma Haoran
Published: June 2023

Imperfect was first referred to in the linguistic field quite a long time ago as a special combination of tense and aspect. However, it has long been regarded as subordinate to Imperfective and to exist merely in some Romance, Latin, Greek, Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavonic languages, thus receiving little specialized research. To conduct a thorough and detailed analysis of Imperfect, the present study established 105 language samples across the world. The imperfect meaning, with different encoding devices, is found in most language samples around the world. Based on the typological classification of their encoding types, the semantic features of Imperfect are then discussed to provide a better comprehension of the universals and characteristics of the types. This multi-dimensional research attempts to call attention to this underestimated concept in linguistic research into tense and aspect, and to provide the research of Imperfect with a rationale in expectation of more systematic studies of Imperfect in the future.

The Study on the Manchus Mixed Economy towards the End of the Ming Dynasty and How This Mixed Economy Contributed to the Manchus Successful Conquest of China
Authors: Jiang Haoyan
Published: June 2023

The conquest of China was not merely a historical coincidence but an incident resulting from all possible aspects and factors historians can or cannot think of. Through analysing the role played by the early Manchus' mixed economy, this paper has drawn some links between the Manchu protohistory and their rise to power. This insight emphasized the significance of viewing the Manchu conquest by considering the dynamic interplay between local and world history. However, it is still necessary and relevant to study the local history carefully and in isolation so that these intricate links and valuable details can be gleaned to fit into a larger picture of the all-encompassing global history.
Impact of Population Migration on the Sustainable Development of Joseonjok People in China
Authors: Xu Chengzhang , Xu Zhenyu
Published: June 2023

The Joseonjok (Koreans in China or Chaoxianzu, the same below) people are one of the more populous minority groups in China, with a large proportion of their migrant population. Population migration can improve the economic situation of individuals and families, but it can also have a negative impact on the sustainable development of the Joseonjok people. This paper uses the population mobility survey data of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province to analyze the characteristics of its non-migrant, internal migrant and cross-border migrant populations. The results show that gender, age, marriage and work are the main factors influencing the mobility of the Joseonjok population. The government should make more reasonable ethnic policies according to the needs of the Joseonjok people in accordance with local conditions, promote the economic development of Joseonjok settlements, and maintain social stability in border areas.
Neo-sensualists Imagination of ShanghaiA Comparative Study between Shanghai and Shanghai Foxtrot Dance
Authors: Yue Fangzhou
Published: June 2023

The Neo-Sensationalist literature that emerged in the 1920s has been an important object of study in the history of Chinese and Japanese literature. While many researchers have examined the history of Neo-Sensationalist literature, few have compared Chinese and Japanese works from the same period. This thesis, therefore, selects texts published in 1931 by Chinese and Japanese neo-sensationalist writers about the city of Shanghai. By analyzing the depiction of the city of Shanghai in the two texts and comparing the similarities and differences, it is ultimately clear that the authors writing positions resulted in different degrees of literary imagination, which made it impossible to depict the city of Shanghai in literature in a completely objective manner. This conclusion will not only contribute to the refinement of Neo-Sensationalist studies but will also contribute to the understanding and knowledge of Shanghai in the literary imagination and the real Shanghai.
Mental Well-Being of Americans among Different Social Classes through the Great Recession: A Chronological Analysis of Economic and Political Events
Authors: Chen Zixuan
Published: June 2023

While the economic consequences of the Great Recession are well-studied, the change in the emotions and mood of people from the event has been largely overlooked. Positive mental status, or happiness, is an essential factor beyond economic data to analyze the authentic prosperity of a country. This paper examines this aspect of the effect of the Financial Crisis of 2008. This paper gathered subjective surveys on personal feelings and objective economic data trends from credible databases to infer the individuals' mental status. Moreover, by connecting the change in those time trends to dates of specific governmental acts and programs and social-political events during the recession, this paper observes the nuance in changes in American individual mental well-being and the effects of political and social incidents. Since the condition of each social class differed, the extent of the harmful shock each experienced varied. According to the results, the upper class had the most severe damage yet the fastest recovery in terms of mental status from the recession. Furthermore, the government programs and acts vary in effectiveness: some mitigated the economic shocks but did not provide mental relief, and others vice versa. The impacts of such policies further differed among social classes. This paper provides conclusions that can help scholars better understand the full consequences of the US Great Recession on the lives of Americans and provide implications of effective governmental means to improve public mental well-being.
Exploring the Use of the Term 'Bao' on the Internet
Authors: Cheng Yu , Wang Xuewen , Zhu Meixuan
Published: June 2023

In recent years, as society continues to change, internet epithets have gone through generations of change. Scholars' enthusiasm for epithets peaked in the last decade but rapidly faded away. This article explores the origins and influence of the Internet address form 'Bao'. It examines the phenomenon of 'virtual intimacy' in the social use of the term 'Bao'. "The term 'Bao' has become popular because of a movie and some hot stems and was initially used in intimate relationships between parents and children or couples. This application has greatly solved the dilemma faced by Internet users and brought people closer to each other while reflecting the diverse psychology of contemporary people in choosing address words in online social networking. The term 'Bao' embodies the principle of economy of language, and the use of a relatively small number of words reflects the great utility of language, injecting new power into online terms of endearment while reflecting the homogenisation of social language. It also provokes reflection on 'virtual intimacy' in a social atmosphere.
The Inspiration of the Lake Poetry from the Perspective of Ecological Literature and Art to Postmodern Dilemma: A Homeward Journey from Enlightenment to Enchantment
Authors: Yuan Bocong
Published: June 2023

Modern technological development has brought about severe natural environmental problems, and the resulting train of global events such as the ecological crisis, nihilism, population problems and the nuclear threat has caused indelible damage to people in modern society. Traditional moral values have been subverted, a wave of capitalism has swept the world, and enlightenment has become a myth to paralyze modern man. Modern art and postmodern thought have failed to save people from sinking under nihilism. Nihilism has re-emerged in the 21st century as the most serious ideological dilemma of the post-modern era, disintegrating people's beliefs like a chronic disease, giving rise to ideas such as money worship and hedonism, causing human beings to hurt and isolate each other, eroding human civilisation and values, and generating anxiety and depression in society. The postmodern, as a splinter of modernity, is unable to face up to the weaknesses of modernity, and the spiritual dilemma of the postmodern seriously haunts everyone. By reviewing the poetry and thought of the Lake Poets during the first industrial revolution, the study unearths their life attitudes in the face of the dual impact of nature and spirituality and explores the solutions to the crisis of postmodern nihilism faced by people in the present society: use contemporary to avoid postmodern.
An Analysis of the Success of Sogdian Commerce on the Silk Roads base on the Sogdians National Characteristics and Chinese Institutions from Perspective of Primary Sources (581-901)
Authors: Liu Ligang
Published: June 2023

Although the Sogdians are mentioned by primary sources of various languages and were dominant along the ancient Silk Road, the records about them are often scattered and neglected. This is unfair to a mercantile nation that dominated medieval trade on the silk roads for centuries, and the scattered accounts often only record the geography or culture of the Sogdian regime and leave out the details of its commercial activities/fundamental reasons why they could be so successful. Therefore, this paper aims to re-analyze the records about Sogdians in primary historical materials to explore their unique ethnicl characteristics, and from which to summarize the reasons why the Sogdians could dominate the silk for centuries. This essay argues that some particular Sogdian ethnical characteristics, such as special patrilineal system, commercial inclination, and Sogdian Zoroastrianism contributed to Sogdians success on the silk roads. In addition, this essay also believes that the influence of contemporary China has also become the driving force for the Sogdians' commercial success. Through the re-analysis of the primary sources about the Sogdian, this essay provides a new account to understand Sogdian ethnic group, instead of focusing on ethnic culture and geography of Sogdians state like the primary sources this essay starts a new interpretation based on those records to explore the reasons for Sogdian commercial success, thus fills the research gap in underdeveloped topic about Sogdian ethnic.
The Impact of Frances Abandonment of Gaullism on Its National Defense Policy
Authors: Hu Xuemeng
Published: June 2023

France has long regarded Gaullism as its national policy, and it has a strong independent color in politics, military and economy. In the early 2000s, French President Nicolas Sarkozy abandoned the Gaullist policy. A few years later, President Macron has shown signs of a return to Gaullism with wobbly attitude. This paper will analyze the impact of France's abandonment of de Gaullism on its national defense policy at the beginning of the 21st century from the perspective of changes in France's domestic and world situations, and discuss the international impact of this policy change. Studying this issue is conducive to making a certain degree of prediction and judgment on France's recent strategic layout of China and Russia in the context of the current international situation. This paper will use the literature survey method to find information on French policy changes, and use the data collection method to count the French military spending in the past few decades and visualize it for phased analysis of its defense policy. In addition, the conclusion part of this paper creatively links the change of French defense policy with world multi-polarization, and analyzes its impact on world multi-polarization and domestic military industry. The changes in the defense policy of France, an important European power, during a critical period in its history can also provide some constructive inspiration for China.
Germanys Rearmament Plan: A Problem of Bureaucracy
Authors: Zhang Yichuan
Published: June 2023

The conflict in Ukraine that started on February 24th, 2022, had a transformative effect on the status of European security policy, with the most prominent outcome being Germanys break with its pacifist tradition and its policy of disarmament. The German governments plan to rebuild the Bundeswehr by raising its defense spending to 2% of its GDP, alongside the injection of a 100-billion-euro fund into its armed forces, was seen by many as the first step for Germany to a leading role in the new European Security Policy. However, increased funding is unlikely to be the deciding factor in whether Germany can successfully rearm, as the Bundeswehr is well funded in comparison to other standing armies of European states in similar economic circumstances. The main obstacle standing in the way of a successful German rearmament is Germanys bureaucracy. The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support," or the BAAINBw, responsible for procurement of materials for the Bundeswehr, is fully anarchistic and understaffed. Germanys path to a reformed military thus hinges on whether the German government can successfully reform the BAAINBw into a more efficient federal agency.
Backwards Time Travel and Backwards Causation
Authors: Guo Zhao
Published: June 2023

Is it possible to travel back in time? Objections against backwards time travel frequently focus on the impossibility of changing the past. However, there is a deeper problem for backwards time travel. It seems that if backwards time travel were possible, the time traveler could causally affect the past, even if she could not alter the past. Is it possible to causally affect the past? David Lewis famously argues that backwards causation is possible as long as we understand causal dependence in terms of counterfactual dependence rather than temporal precedence. In this paper, I argue that this Lewisian line of reasoning is untenable. Lewis counterfactual theory of causation faces the so-called problem of effects. To solve this problem, he either has to reintroduce temporal precedence back into the definition of causation or stipulate that the closest possible world needs to be historically the same as the actual one. Either way, the possibility of backwards causation is immediately ruled out.

Authors: Mao Yutao
Published: June 2023

Sogdian merchants played an essential role in the commercial and cultural activities between the Tang dynasty and other states in the west of Tang, along the Silk Road. Based on the conditions for the Tarim region to be able to perform a role in the commercial transfer station and the well-established advanced monetary and postal system, the article discusses how the Tang court's policies influenced the Sogdian commercial system that the influence was mainly in three aspects: i) Tang court intentionally introduced Sogdian merchants and helped Sogdian merchants to spread; ii) The household registration of Sogdian merchants and endorsement by Tang court offered Sogdian merchants significant opportunities to earn profits from trading with Tang court when Sogdian merchants monopolized the trade between Tang dynasty and western states; iii) The fusion of Sogdian people into Han people and Sogdian people's entrance into the political system of Tang court enhanced the Sogdian merchant's commercial networks. Finally, the article concludes: The deep fusion of ethnic groups of Han people and Sogdian people was the promoter of the prosperity of the Tang dynasty, and it again made the Sogdian commercial network thrive.

Analysis of the Cultural Duality in Eastern Asia
Authors: Zhao Yiran
Published: June 2023

For a long time, Confucian culture has been synonymous with Chinese culture and Eastern Asian culture. From a historical standpoint, most cultural heritages of Eastern Asia originated in China as one of the oldest civilizations on earth, so the two terms were often used interchangeably to reflect the dominant influences of Chinese cultures on the rest of Eastern Asia. While Confucian philosophy has made itself a single most iconic cultural symbol of Eastern Asia with its emphasis on etiquette and morality, the discussion of whether Confucianism closely represents the substance of Eastern Asian culture has rarely been evaluated with a particular historical context. Under the fundamental social transitions from aristocracy in the Zhou dynasty to a unified dictatorship in Qin Dynasty, Confucian thoughts themselves were challenged by other anti-Confucian ideologies that seek compatibility with the changing regimes. The most notable of them is a school of thought known as Legalism. As two completely split views, both Confucianism and Legalism have been deeply intertwined in the history of China and eventually integrated into the complex cultural identities of Eastern Asians. The causes and implications of the existence of such contrary duality in the cultures of early China and later Eastern Asia will be the topics of interest in the paper.
