A Comparative Aesthetics Analysis on Song Dynasty Lacquer Dish in the Form of Plum Blossoms with a Red-brushed Pattern of Two Phoenixes
Authors: Li Jie
Published: October 2023

The Chinese artcraft in Song and Ming Dynasty set a standard that is understood as both unique and influential. Through comparative research, the lacquered Artcraft in East Asia and Europe would provide a holistic view of how Chinese lacquer art craft transferred through dynasties. Two Chinese crafts, Ming Yongle red-painted tea flower round plate and the Song dynasty Lacquer dish in the form of plum blossoms with a red-brushed pattern of two phoenixes are illustrated. It then presents a gilt-bronze inlaid lacquer vessel from France in the reign of Louis XV, made by the Japanese and European Lacquer Bureau, and one can see the great difference between it and the two previous ones made in China. It is inlaid on the top surface with figures, carriages, and horses, as well as with figures of mountains, rocks, and trees, with most of the figures concentrated on the left side, while the right side is left relatively empty of white space. It is argued that from several aspects, the comparison is worthwhile.
The Transformation of Chinese Food in the United States and Its Societal Impacts
Authors: Ying Boang
Published: October 2023

Following the pervasive trend of globalization, cultural interaction between different nations becomes possible. This article aims to distinguish between the Chinese cuisines in U.S. society that have diverged origins: the modified Chinese food which was brought by massive immigration from the southeast coastal provinces in China in the late 19th century, and the franchised cuisine from China that recently settled in the market. The historical background relating to the on-time social movements and different motivations of these two cuisines will be delineated in this article to help explain the mechanism behind Chinese culinary industries adaptation in the United States. It is argued that the Chinese cuisine brought by Cantonese immigrants undergoes cultural integration which drives spontaneous adaption of the cuisine to blend into the U.S. culture. On the contrary, the prevalence of industrialized Chinese cuisine is rather the result of a profit-driven mechanism.

Reasons and Significance for Sima Qians Creation of Records of Historian and His Writing of Tragic Heroes
Authors: Wan Qianyu
Published: October 2023

In Sima Qians Records of Historian, there are 112 works about characters, of which 57 are about tragic characters, and most of them ended with suicide. Sima Qian seems to admire these tragic characters very much. Sima Qians composition of those tragic heroes in the Records of Historian is groundbreaking. Before Sima Qian, no one in ancient China ever wrote the genre of biography of tragic heroes, and his personal emotional inclination towards these tragic characters can be clearly felt in his writing. In order to understand Sima Qians tragic writing, his personal tragic fate can be related to. Sima Qians personal experience has given him the color of tragedy. This paper mainly explores the reasons and significance for Sima Qians writing of tragic heroes and his creation of the Records of Historian. Conclusions can be drawn that Sima Qians writing of tragic heroes is due to his appreciation of heroes with different personalities and the resonance of fate with them, and his creation of the Records of Historian reveals his adherence to filial piety and his view of life and death. It is also a manifestation of the thoughts of Confucius.
Morality Evaluation: Two Perspectives from Motivation Theory and Consequentialism
Authors: Zhang Xuange
Published: October 2023

Morality is a significant component of human behaviour norms and plays a crucial role. With the involvement of morality, a fundamental question must be asked: which behaviours should be considered good, and which should be considered evil? This involves the issue of the ethical evaluation criteria of morality. Among the whole question, it is clear that the standard that is truly important to morality evaluation should be discussed. Obviously, different theories have different attitudes toward it. For example, utilitarians insist that the value of morality comes from fulfilling peoples need, especially their emotional requirements, which means that only a movement that leads to a good result can be appraised as moral; moreover, deontologists argues that morality is made to demonstrate the transcendental and inevitable essence of human beings, such as liberty or free will, in other words, morality should be used to describe a motive which is accord with the essence. By discussing the debate between motivation theory and consequentialism, this article aims to investigate the two most important criteria for the evaluation of morality: whether it is universally valid and whether it is operable. Moreover, the analysis and discussion contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the fundamental ethical issue of identifying goodness.
For Mathematical Truth to Be Known: A Provability-based Condition Construction
Authors: Lin Zhiru
Published: October 2023

One of the defining characteristics of mathematics is its emphasis on proof, which is the process of demonstrating the truth or falsehood of a mathematical claim through a rigorous and logical argument. However, while the concept of proof is central to mathematics, it is also a complex and multifaceted notion that raises a range of philosophical and practical questions. This article proposed a condition beyond the JTB framework for mathematical knowledge by using mathematics provability with a careful reflection on Gettier cases.

Authors: SALEHI Mitra , ORAL Hasan Volkan
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how Geographic Information System (GIS) software can be used for geographical interpolation, geostatistical analysis, and the creation of maps using relatively sparse data and highlighting the significance of this software in engineering and decision making. The method used in this study is applying ordinary kriging analysis on a gathered database to develop a variation map with interpolation analysis. The selected Z-values are the altitude and Environmental temperature of the selected zone which can contain a vast range. GIS can recognize and analyze the spatial relationships that exist within digitally stored spatial data. This method can bring ease for collecting data from a location that may have difficulties in visiting and gathering data by hand. By the use of semivariogram which is a graphical representation, and the covariance between every pair of points are used to calculate the spatial relationships between interpolating points. As a result, the final output of ArcGIS is a developed map showing altitude variation in the central area of Istanbul. This option can be used in making complex maps in every desired area by predicting Z-values for all the wanted zone based on the given database. Hence, the utility of GIS can bring a great improvement and ease in decision making and planning in civil engineering branches such as transportation, infrastructure, soil mechanics, and construction.

Improving and predicting storability of Swedish apples with IAD and improved storage conditions
Authors: Sjöstrand Joakim
Published: October 2023

Only around 30% of the apples consumed in Sweden are produced within the country, even though many customers prefer locally produced fruit. One way to increase the availability of Swedish fruit is to reduce post-harvest losses to pathogens and disorders, which increase if fruit is not harvested at optimal maturity. This thesis examined ways of improving the storability of Swedish apples by reducing losses due to fungal decay and to the physiological disorder soft scald, and by using different measures for establishing optimal harvesting time for mid- and late-season cultivars. Weather conditions were found to have an effect on the incidence of soft scald, with humidity and rain increasing the incidence in some cases. Rainy weather also increased fungal decay. Absorbance difference index (IAD) was shown to be correlated with harvest time, apple firmness and Streif index before harvest. The strength of correlations showed high between-cultivar and between-year variations. IAD was found to be a possible complement to existing maturity indices, but causes of variation in the accuracy of IAD as a predictor of maturity need to be identified. Controlled storage atmosphere was found to be the most effective measure to control soft scald, while delayed cooling had little effect. Fruit maturity had a significant effect on soft scald incidence in some cases, but not every year. A strong effect of year was seen in most measurements, e.g. for strength of correlations, soft scald incidence and fungal decay.

Measuring the Impact of Picture-Based Explanations on the Acceptance of an AI System for Classifying Laundry
Authors: Rabethge Nico , Bentler Dominik
Published: October 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have increasingly been employed in various industries, including the laundry sector, e.g., to assist the employees sorting the laundry. This study aims to investigate the influence of image-based explanations on the acceptance of an AI system, by using CNNs that were trained to classify color and type of laundry items, with the explanations being generated through Deep Taylor Decomposition, a popular Explainable AI technique. We specifically examined how providing reasonable and unreasonable visual explanations affected the confidence levels of participating employees from laundries in their respective decisions. 32 participants were recruited from a diverse range of laundries, age, experience in this sector and prior experience with AI technologies and were invited to take part in this study. Each participant was presented with a set of 20 laundry classifications made by the AI system. They were then asked to indicate whether the accompanying image-based explanation strengthened or weakened their confidence in each decision. A five-level Likert scale was utilized to measure the impact, ranging from 1 (strongly weakens confidence) to 5 (strongly strengthens confidence). By providing visual cues and contextual information, the explanations are expected to enhance participants' understanding of the AI system's decision-making process. Consequently, we hypothesize that the image-based explanations will strengthen participants' confidence in the AI system's classifications, leading to increased acceptance and trust in its capabilities. The analysis of the results indicated significant main effects for both the quality of explanation and neural network certainties variables. Moreover, the interaction between explanation quality and neural network certainties also demonstrated a notable level of significance.The outcomes of this study hold substantial implications for the integration of AI systems within the laundry industry and other related domains. By identifying the influence of image-based explanations on acceptance, organizations can refine their AI implementations, ensuring effective utilization and positive user experiences. By fostering a better understanding of how image-based explanations influence AI acceptance, this study contributes to the ongoing development and improvement of AI systems across industries. Ultimately, this research seeks to pave the way for enhanced human-AI collaboration and more widespread adoption of AI technologies. Future research in this area could explore alternative forms of visual explanations, to further examine their impact on user acceptance and confidence in AI systems.
Prompts of Large Language Model for Commanding Power Grid Operation
Authors: Dong Hanjiang , Zhu Jizhong , Chung Chi-yung
Published: October 2023

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can assist people’s general workflows, where the prompt is necessary to inspire the potential of LLMs to solve problems from specified or professional domains like robotics. In the electrical engineering subject or the electric power utility industry, experienced operators and professional experts monitor power grid operation statuses and interact with the grid via human commands on the screen, and components in the grid execute the commands to keep the complex grid safe and economical operation. In this process, human experts edit commands to operate the corresponding software. Human commands are the natural language that the LLM can process. The power grid is composed of generation, transmission, distribution, and other components. Therefore, we redesign the human-computer interaction frame between practitioners and the grid via recurrent prompts to apply the LLM to generate computer programming instructions from the multi-step natural language commands. The programming instruction is executed on system components after being confirmed or revised by human experts, and the quality of generated programs will be gradually improved through human feedback. The idea of this study is originally inspired by studies on controlling individual robotic components by ChatGPT. In the future, we will apply the designed prompt templates to drive the general LLM to generate desired samples which could be used to train an LLM professional in the domain knowledge of electrical engineering to operate multiple types of software for power grid operators.

Agricultural operations require simple, efficient and robust measurement method of three dimensional forms for the plant organs such as leaves to analyse other kinds of phenotype in detail on this basis. However, most of the existing sample-based methods reconstruct three dimensional shapes of the images for the objects of smooth surface and homogeneous materials, such as plastics, paints, ceramics, and metals, etc., rather than for the natural objects of convex-concave surfaces and varying albedo materials under the arbitrary natural lights. In this paper, it was found that the methods based on the prior model with photometric stereo superposed BRDF proposed can accurately realize the 3D modelling for plant leaf image and may reduce the cumulative error. With the differential gradient constraint and integral gradient constraint proposed, the unique solution for the normal vectors of all micro panels of the pixel projection on the leaf surface was matched by the first-order central difference equation and the iterations, and this process solved the ill-posed problem of BRDF. The experiment results showed that the average error between the height reconstructed results and the measured results of the real leaves’ height was 15% and the attenuation error was reduced by our method.

Published: October 2023

The development of artificial intelligence has greatly unleashed AI creativity and is profoundly transforming the thinking process, practical methods, and aesthetic forms of future design innovation. This study provides an in-depth analysis of computers’ innovative thinking, design practice, and aesthetic paradigms driven by artificial intelligence, namely computational thinking in the cognitive field, computational design in the practical field, and computational aesthetics in the aesthetic field. Starting from the concept of computational thinking, the article analyzes six general processes of computational thinking, including decomposition, abstraction, algorithm, debugging, iteration, and generalization. Secondly, three common types of computational design were compared and analyzed, namely parametric design, generative design, and algorithm design. Among them, algorithm design is a generation process that generates design results through algorithm writing and rule formulation; Parametric design is an interactive process where the components of the design model are interrelated, allowing for real-time updates and modifications throughout the entire design process; Generative design is an iterative process where software generates many creative results and solutions for designers to make decisions and choices. Finally, the study analyzed the aesthetic forms and carriers of computational aesthetics. Among them, aesthetic forms include organic growth, geometric repetition, mathematical rhythm, dynamic order, heterotypic novelty, science fiction grandeur, and fractal deconstruction; Aesthetic carriers include form, structure, texture, pattern, layout, visual dynamic effects, etc. This study is a highly refinement to innovative thinking, design practice, and aesthetic paradigms in the era of artificial intelligence, highlighting important directions for future design development.

Authors: Lin Pei-ju , Kuo Fan-chu
Published: October 2023

Aquaculture by-products, such as oyster shells, clam shells, and fish scales, are considered business wastes and are frequently discarded and buried without treatment, causing environmental and ecological problems. To recycle fishery waste, this study proposed using recycled materials such as oyster shell powders, clam shell powders, and fish scale fragments as aggregate substitutes in cement mortar for making cement tiles. The application of cement materials is diverse, ranging from indoor and outdoor landscape decoration and building materials to artistic creations and home decoration products. This study is proposed to produce cement tiles with a richer window grilles surface texture. First, wastes from the aquaculture industry, such as oyster shells, clam shells, and fish scales, were washed, ground, and mixed with cement mortar in different proportions to produce cement tiles, which were then subjected to relevant tests to assess their physical properties such as water absorption, compressive strength, flexural strength, and warpage. The cement tiles that meet the CNS specification for indoor wall tiles were further integrated into the window grilles processing.

Published: October 2023

An incorporated analysis of selling green hydrogen and gray hydrogen, as opposed to sellingtheir mixed hydrogen, is investigated. Specifically, we analyze how the social surplus is characterized for the mixed hydrogen. We perform supply/demand analysis of the mixed hydrogen in terms of the ratio of the green hydrogen. Furthermore, we derive the equilibrium price and social surplus, and clarify the optimal sales of green hydrogen. In addition, for the case where green hydrogen and gray hydrogen are traded in separate markets, we discuss what measures can be taken to increase the demand for green hydrogen.

Authors: Gabriela Ene Alexandra , Jomir Mihaela , Mihai Carmen
Published: October 2023

Extended areas of the planet are experiencing drought, a natural phenomenon that occurs due to a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall or when water is insufficient. Drought is a critical global problem affecting the environment, economies and social well-being of communities around the world, with severe impacts on agriculture, wildlife, water supplies and public health.The most efficient technique for protecting the soil against pedological drought is represented by mulching, a technique that enables the preservation of the soil moisture (by reducing evaporation) and limitation of the weed growth (lack of light forces etiolation and exhaustion). In addition, considering that an extraordinary variety of living beings could be developed under the mulch, the most important being represented by the Oligochaeta taxon and Annelida family, through mulching, digging and loosening operations are eliminated.The paper presents the stages of the incremental iterative development of a collapsible aerial module used for mulching the soil affected by extreme pedological drought, starting from the specific requirements imposed to the functional system by the real conditions of usage. The phases of iterative development were completed, starting from the digital and experimental design, the realization and testing of the system. Thus, the initialization phase included the digitization sequences corresponding to the digital design of the system and performance evaluation through testing (sketcher, part design, assembly design and generative structural analysis) for 3 distinct requirements: i) the module has a load with a mass of 5000 kg, t0=0 s; ii) part of the load is placed and there is a remaining part of 2000 kg, t1=t0+ɛ s, and iii) the module is empty, t2= t0+ɛ+ɤ s. The testing was carried out for all the 3 different situations as a function of time and the deformation under the effect of dynamic pressure, Von Mises stress fields and distribution of displacement vectors and errors were visualised.The possible cracks of the system were predicted using the Von Mises criterion, according to which the limit state of the solid body appears when the specific potential energy that modify the shape reaches the characteristic limit value of the material (allowable resistance of min +010N_m2). The second phase of the incremental development consists in the experimental design with the help of the Optitex Pattern Making PDS (EFI Optitex) software, obtaining the type-dimensions of the system and the multiplication (2D pattern construction, 3D simulation and visualization).The incremental development approach leads to a rapid development and realization of the functional model used in the case of pedological drought, and its systematic testing in real conditions of usage will determine both the improvement of the type-dimensional parameters, and the definition of the technological process.

In a study, the trust variable (TR) was examined as a mediating variable, as well as the satisfaction recovery (SR) variable, and finally the perceived fairness (PF) referring to the understanding of consumer reactions to the difficulties encountered when using company services. The model used in this study was modified from what was reported by Kim et al. (2009). The main objective was to determine the SR between the influence of the PF and the TR of the client of a two-star hotel. The approach used was quantitative, with a cross-sectional design and an explanatory level, and questionnaires were used to collect data. Finally, the results suggest that SR did not play a mediating role in this context, which implies that the drawbacks and failures examined in the study did not have a significant influence on the other variables evaluated.

Aquatic accidents and incidents due to the hydro-meteorological conditions or to the carelessness of the crew (that can generate failures and collisions between ships), the research of the wrecks and of the lifting of various archaeological, speleological, ecological, geological underwater objects, require the usage of the lifting parachute that represents an extremely useful equipment in these situations.The paper presents the prototyping of the dispensable and executable system including the description of the working environment represented by the fluid medium which can be used as a basis for formulating the requirements imposed for: i) product development (type-dimensions, engineering characteristics, raw material, maximum working depth, object weight flushed), and ii) operation in blue water (open sea where there are no visual reference points to determine the positioning in the water column, and where depth monitoring and strict buoyancy control are needed).From a mathematical point of view, it was considered that, in a marine or oceanic wave, as the depth increases, the circular movement of the fluid particles on the surface transforms and their movement could be described by a set of hyperbolic differential equations.The values of the total force necessary to raise the "wreck" to the surface were determined as a function of the: i) weight of the outside and inside deposits, ii) adhesion force on the bottom of the water, iii) theoretical lift capacity and actual lift capacity. It was demonstrated that for a parachute of a certain shape, with dimensions of 55cm x 55 cm, at a pressure of 8 bar, the maximum weight that can be lifted to the surface is 15,000 kgf. In addition, the following specific coefficients for the aquatic systems design were considered: coefficient of floating area: 0.84; block coefficient: 0.652; belt convergence coefficient: 1.03, etc.The system thus developed was tested with the help of a specialized software, based on the following working assumptions: the medium is continuous, so the mass distribution is continuous in the analysed volume; the infinitesimal internal forces in the environment are considered average statistical values of the interaction forces between the constituent elements; the environment is loaded with concentrated forces Fi and distributed loads pi. These input data enabled to evidence the deformations under the effect of dynamic pressure, Von Misses nodal values, the distribution of displacement vectors and errors. The same set of input data will be used for testing the system under real conditions of usage.
Fashion Entrepreneurs’ Experiences of Hope in a Precarious Ghanaian Creative Industry

Published: October 2023

This paper explored creative entrepreneurs’ experiences of hope in navigating precarious working conditions in the Ghanaian fashion industry. The inquiry was motivated by a mistaken belief in the existing entrepreneurial literature that successful creative entrepreneurs enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. However, the reality in the creative arts sector is that individual entrepreneurs must deal with wave after wave of tumultuous work environments caused by precarity. Emerging research reveals that issues of precarity within the fashion industry have been intensified due to the influx of substitute goods and governmental structural adjustment programs. The fashion and entrepreneurship scholarship acknowledges that several fashion entrepreneurs are ‘hustling’ to build and sustain their labels and brands in the face of difficulties. However, we discovered that rather than giving up, entrepreneurs must persevere, resilient and bounce-back. Ghanaian fashion owners focus on and theorize the most prevalent practices of navigating, coping with, and managing compounded precarity: that of hope. In this paper, we examine the ‘practical dimensions of futurity’, how precarity is worked on, and how one may become more than one presently is or was fated to be. This notion is in contrast to the precarity-induced state of paralysis caused by waiting. This paper explores the strategies, practices, and spatial dynamics of hope in the Ghanaian fashion industry. Taking a comparative and intersectional approach, we explore the practices and narratives that fashion entrepreneurs construct in such dire work conditions. This fact has implications for how we think about hope and entrepreneurship in the fashion industry. By so doing, this study contributes to the ongoing conceptual debates regarding the nature of creative work in the fashion industry. Therefore, this paper, examined two (2) research questions: (i) what are creative entrepreneurs’ experiences of precarity in the Ghanaian fashion industry? (ii) How do creative entrepreneurs cope with precarity in the Ghanaian fashion industry?

Following the success of remote work in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry during the Covid-19 pandemic, several organizations have considered choosing a permanent remote work policy for their employees over the traditional face-to-face setup. The primary determinants that dictate adopting a permanent working environment are often centered on cost-related considerations with little regard for the slow onset of occupational health hazards. Studies have identified various health hazards experienced by BPO personnel, including headaches, back pain, neck and shoulder discomfort, wrist and hand pain, eye strain, overweight, hearing loss, and digestion issues. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a term used to describe such symptoms that manifest in response to exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF)-emitting devices. In the context of the Philippines, most are unaware of the potential implications of EMF exposure, hence it is worthwhile to closely investigate the EHS of BPO employees. This study aims to investigate the health-effects of EMF-emitting devices on BPO personnel in both traditional and remote work setups. The study used a web-based questionnaire to collect and assess data from two discrete populations. A self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) was used to pre-assess the respondents’ general wellness and health status. Statistical significance was established using the independent t-test. Principal component analysis was used to identify the major symptoms associated with EHS, whereas the EMF sources were analyzed using an independent sample t-test with bootstrapping. Based on the SRQ-20, traditional BPO personnel encounter health risks with statistically higher severity (p < 0.05) than their remote counterparts which may infer that the two different working settings possibly have distinct effects on the health of the workers. However, upon further evaluation, the two distinct populations both exhibited negligible to moderate indications of EHS symptoms in separate environments. A significant difference in the perception of BPO workers is observed regarding the intensity of the effects of EMF across all possible sources except three specific devices: a computer, a television, and a television or radio transmitter. However, the source analysis indicates that the influence of EMF-emitting devices on the EHS of employees is low to negligible in both occupational settings. The study concluded that there is an absence of potential health risks stemming from exposure to EMF in both occupational settings for BPO employees. Considering the negligible impact of EMF exposure on EHS symptoms, BPO industries possess the flexibility to choose between the two work setups, as both environments do not pose significant EMF-related occupational health and safety threats.
