Chinese Cinemas of Self-Determination: Impacts of Films on Anti-Imperialism and Nationalism
Authors: Gao Jishen
Published: February 2024

Modern China witnesses a plethora of anti-imperialist and postcolonial themed films, which, in contrary from the former artistic medium, benefitted from evolving cinematic technologies that allow more rapid distribution of information. Consequently, such genre of films triggered multifaceted social impacts across the Sinophones. The late-nineteenth-century semi-colonial China, marked by a profound power imbalance with colonizers, incited widespread public outrage and introspection. With the introduction of cinematic industries in China in the 1920s, filmmakers seamlessly integrated anti-colonial and progressive ideologies into their screenplay, venturing to galvanize Chinese citizens for decolonization and self-determination. Due to the infusion of political rhetoric in films, the medium continuously evoked and prompted the Chinese populace, exerting a monumental influence on Chinese anti-colonial and anti-imperialist pursuits. The activeness of such genres in the present-day Chinese entertainment industry reflects their incremental incorporation into a modern Chinese identity, centering on postcolonial reflections. Accordingly, the author will explore anti-imperialist films from the fledgling Chinese film industry to their recurrent presence in contemporary Chinese cinema, which contributed to the shaping of a postcolonial Chinese identity.

Based On Satiety Mechanism: The Effect of Dietary Therapy in Terms of Substitute Meal in Overweight and Diabetic Patients
Authors: Zhao Kexin
Published: February 2024

Obesity is a widespread public health concern that poses a threat to global well-being. Effective dietary management stands out as a key component in the care of obesity and diabetes. It not only aids in regulating body fat and blood glucose levels but also demonstrates significant prowess in reducing fasting blood glucose and postprandial 2-hour blood glucose levels. Furthermore, it proves useful in assisting diabetic patients in achieving glycemic index targets and formulating tailored diet plans. However, not all patients possess the knowledge to establish a balanced diet. This is where meal substitutes step in, offering a convenient, pre-made solution. A well-balanced meal substitute can deliver ample satiety while ensuring essential nutrients, thus preventing overindulgence. Satiety, the sensation that increases fullness and reduces unnecessary food intake, plays a pivotal role in weight loss and overall health maintenance. It arises from the stomach's response to food ingestion, signaling to a person that they are comfortably full and no longer in need of further sustenance. Consequently, the exploration of meal substitutes as a novel form of diabetes intervention therapy has gained increasing attention in recent years.
The Positive Effects and Potential Mechanisms of Plant-Based Diet on Improving Children Asthma
Authors: Chen Xinyi
Published: February 2024

Past studies have shown that existing treatment options, other than medications, are ineffective in treating asthma in children. However, according to the findings, the influence of children asthma disease can be effectively decreased by using a Mediterranean diet that is similar to a plant-based diet. This paper summarized the positive effects, mechanisms, side effects and application prospects of plant-based diet on children asthma, starting from two perspectives of increasing intake of plant-based foods and controlling intake of dairy products. According to research, plant-based diets have practical positive effects on reducing childhood asthma through the nutrients they contain, antioxidants, and benefits for the gut microbiota, but children are also at risk for rickets, osteoporosis, low blood pressure, and hyponatremia. In terms of application prospects, this diet needs further support from consumers. The limitations of this study are that there is not data to support the effect of reducing red meat in a plant-based diet on children asthma, and there is a lack of statistics on the direct perceptions of child consumers about this dietary pattern. It is believed that in the future, further research on these two limitations can more strongly prove the function of plant-based diet on reducing and preventing children asthma and enhance the future popularity of plant-based diet.
Governance in the Free Cross-border Flow of Data
Authors: Lyu Yuqian
Published: February 2024

Every part of life, work and friendship has been inseparable from the Internet. When we casually click on the links on the network, when we need to enter personal information on the network due to work and policy, when enterprises are used to storing most of the data in the emerging cloud computing service platform, when the official website of the core departments of the country was maliciously attacked. We are facing more frequent information leakage in the era of big data. Especially with the trend of multinational corporations, regional interoperability, and the integration of the world economy, data and information can flow across borders without obstacles. Undoubtedly, cross-border business trade, project co-operation, geo-location, and server tracking are necessary, but the large amount of data recording, flow, and tracking brings great risks to personal privacy, business secrets, and the maintenance and stability of national security. As a result of the growing awareness of the risks and drawbacks of cross-border data flows, jurisdictions and regions have developed legislation and rules to balance the free flow of data and cross-border security.
What Is the True “Papa” Turtle? A Discussion About the Origin of The Clade Testudines from Both Morphological and Molecular Perspectives
Authors: Guo Jincao
Published: February 2024

Turtles, from the order Testudines has a debatable origin. The oldest defined species of the order was Proganochelys quenstedti from the late Triassic. However, the origin or the ancestor of this species has been a hot topic among scientists. This paper discussed the potential origin of the turtles using both the morphological and molecular perspectives. Based on the morphological evidence for the evolution of the defining features, one theory suggested that this order originated from the Eunotosaurus africanus which the dorsal ribs fused together first; other theories suggested that it originated from Odontocheyls semi Testacea which the ventral ribs fused first. The skull structure is another debatable topic as evolutionary evidence which the current turtles are classified as anapsid due to its lack of temporal fenestration. However, many of the potential ancestors showed defining two fenestrations of diapsids or at least some features indicating it was evolving into anapsid. The molecular evidence of mitochondrion cDNA showed that the Testudines clade diverged from the other Archosauri in Jurassic which completely overthrow all the hypothesis. Although morphological based theory has its flaw, it was a more convincing theory than the molecular based theory. As some studies suggested that the Odontotomy’s semi Testacea could lost its dorsal shell inherited from its ancestor, the hypothesized evolutionary route is E. africanus àPappocheyl. rosinae àO. semitestaceaàP. quenstedti.

Proposal for Enhancing the Taste and Nutritional Value of Braised Fish
Authors: Wei Junyi
Published: February 2024

Braised fish, a highly popular Chinese dish known for its delectable taste and rich nutritional content, is prone to being affected by factors such as its inherent fishy taste. To elevate the dish's flavor profile and impart a delightful aroma, it becomes essential to mask the fishy taste effectively. This study compared the salt solution method, sensory masking method, biological method, and acid-base method to comprehensively analyze and address the underlying causes of the fishy taste. It was observed that both the salt solution method and sensory masking method proved successful in concealing the fishy smell. While the biological method effectively mitigated the production of fishy substances, it fell short in completely eliminating the fishy smell. On the other hand, the acid-base method demonstrated promising results in significantly reducing the fishy odor. Furthermore, manipulating the Maillard reaction's efficiency by controlling water activity and temperature through the use of the control variable method was studied. The highest Maillard reaction rate was achieved when the water activity was set at 0.7, and a neutral or weak base pH was maintained. Optimizing temperature and processing time led to the successful formation of aromatic compounds while minimizing damage to human cells. In addition to enhancing the taste, incorporating vegetables such as tofu, broad beans, or celery into braised fish recipes can offer additional health benefits, such as preventing obesity and reducing the presence of carcinogens.
Examining Regional Economic Expansion Through the Reduction and Absurdum Methodologies: A View of the Variations of Rural Construction in China and Internal Causes of Cultural Confidence
Authors: Zhang Ying
Published: February 2024

The correlation between regional economic development and the urbanization process has been the cause of the emergence of “village-in-the-city” or “urbanization villages.” To accurately detail the changes in “village-in-the-city”, the urbanization scheme persists in transforming the “village-in-the-city” into a threadiness of “urban-rural fringe” in this decade. This document uses these two terms. After the suggestions about the “Liang and Chen Plan” failed to be accepted, “village-in-city,” the geographical term has lasted for 70 years. Nowadays, China’s policy of collective ownership of rural residential land (which is not allowed to be listed for trading) but commercial development has led villagers to increase the floor area based on their own homes without authorization to increase rental income. The Government must demolish the illegal building to comply with land planning rules, sustain the city’s appearance and protection, and manage the transient population. The cycle caused cultural resources to be destroyed and traditional villages to disappear. From an anthropological perspective, this paper uses rural ecosystem services, involving artists, appreciating rural assets, and stimulating rural job opportunities through social responsibility, equity, and public welfare design. Advocating the Chinese Government encourage private investments in rural construction, raising villagers’ awareness of resources, providing multiple choices, empowering rural businesses, and increasing villagers’ income from their talent as part of rural progress to explore a path of innovation with Cultural Confidence for rural construction in contemporary China.
Comparison Between Healthy Plant-Based Diets and Unhealthy Plant-Based Diets and Their Health Impacts
Authors: Ren Siyi
Published: February 2024

A plant-based diet (PBD), also known as a vegetarian diet, has become a popular topic in recent years. Numerous research studies have investigated the advantageous aspects of adhering to a healthful PBD. Compared to the typical omnivorous diet, a healthful PBD, consisting of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, can help protect individuals from Type II Diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, and high blood pressure. This is primarily because PBD are rich in dietary fiber, micronutrients, polyphenols, and low in harmful saturated fatty acids. One of the key features of metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance, which leads to an increase in blood glucose levels. Insulin resistance can potentially trigger the development of CVD and T2D. Transitioning to a healthful PBD can reduce the risk of insulin resistance. Additionally, the risk of CVD can be reduced by replacing animal fats (saturated fatty acids) with vegetable fats (monounsaturated fatty acids), as MUFAs help lower low-density lipoprotein levels in cells. Dietary fibers play a significant role in promoting healthier body indexes. They slow down food movement in the intestine and facilitate the excretion process. Fiber can also reduce the risk of obesity by maintaining a better body mass index. However, it's important to note that not all PBD are healthy, and an irrational PBD can worsen one's physical condition.

Authors: Li Yusong , Liu Yuheng , Lu Yuhao , Yu Ningyue
Published: February 2024

The development of molten salt energy storage technology began in the 20th century, with the American ORNL first exploring the application of molten salt heat storage in the 1950s while experimenting with nuclear-powered aircraft. In the following decades of research and development, the scope of application of molten salt energy storage technology was expanded, not only by considering the heat storage function of molten salts but also by combining molten salt energy storage technology with clean energy (such as photovoltaic) to form the power station that has been used in many countries. In the 21st century, sustainable development research is becoming more and more popular, and molten salt energy storage technology is in line with the characteristics of sustainable development. This paper explores the suitability of molten salt energy storage technology for sustainable development by introducing molten salt energy storage technology, and then describes the strength of this technology such as non-pollution, low cost, and high efficiency, demonstrating energy storage potential through molten salts within sustainable development. At the same time, the hidden dangers and limitations of the current molten salt energy storage technology are also discussed dialectically.
STREETWALKING BEYOND THE STOA: DIOGENES THE CYNIC, MARÍA LUGONES, AND A TENTATIVE COSMOPOLITANISM
Authors: BORMANIS ERIK
Published: February 2024

In this essay I argue that we should consider Diogenes the Cynic’s claim to be cosmopolitan in light of his homelessness as a spatial and material reality. I do this order to arrive at a concept of cosmopolitanism that is more politically and ethically substantial than its typical rationalist Kantian formulations. I consider passages from Diogenes Laertius’ Lives of the Eminent Philosophers to clarify the relationship of homelessness to cosmopolitanism, and draw upon authors such as Emmanuel Levinas, María Lugones, and José Medina in order to demonstrate the fruitfulness of a reconsidered cosmopolitanism in our contemporary context. I ultimately suggest that Diogenes’ cosmopolitanism offers a rich and politically charged alternative to rationalist cosmopolitanism insofar as he points us towards critically rethinking both the cosmos and polis as expressions of political agency in a world in which homelessness and social exclusion are a common feature. I argue that cosmopolitan political practice would therefore be best understood fundamentally tentative, whether in the form of productive negotiation, or an interruptive displacement of hegemonic understandings of shared spaces.

Authors: Afinda Sugara Chelvin , Wilfritz Soaduon Panjaitan Tigor , Rolalisasi Andarita
Published: February 2024

One of the natural disasters that can occur in Indonesia is a tsunami caused by geological factors. Indonesia is an area located on the "Ring of Fairness" or the circle of fire, which is an area that often experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Natural disasters that can occur in Indonesia are caused by geological and hydrometeorological factors. Volcanoes and earthquakes are caused by the collision of the Eurasian, Australian and Pacific plates on the active plate which is also the meeting place for the three plates. In this case disaster management is a dynamic, integrated and sustainable process. The aim is to improve the quality of measures related to various activities, such as disaster prevention, impact mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, victim evacuation, and rebuilding damaged areas. One way to be prepared for natural disasters is to design areas so that they are more likely to be protected from them. In the case of Puri Gading Beach in Lampung, the authors have used a disaster-prone area (KRB) mitigation approach to ensure that the area is protected from the Tsunami. There are two types of tsunami management strategies based on disaster reduction in the City of Bandar Lampung which are prone to natural disasters, namely: (1). Structural mitigation in the form of explaining the construction of flood protection buildings such as the construction of embankments, the construction of drainage network structures, and the construction of drop structures; (2) Mitigation of non-structural disasters in the form of disaster mitigation training and simulations, as well as assessment of the impact of natural disaster reduction on risk reduction policies for affected areas in Bandar Lampung City, Lampung, Indonesia.

At this time, motorcycles, especially performance, are very important, where many young people now really want to increase the performance of their motorbikes. This study examines the difference in performance between the use of standard exhaust and racing exhaust on a Supra GTR K56 150 cc motorcycle. The experimental method is used by using a dynometer to measure the power and torque of the vehicle. The results showed that the use of racing exhaust resulted in an increase in power of 1.86 hp at 9000 rpm and a widening of the peak power at high engine speed. In addition, the racing exhaust also provides more controlled acceleration and a smoother power increase compared to the standard exhaust. Even though the performance increase is not significant, changing the exhaust to a racing exhaust can give a different response when the vehicle is used at high engine speed. In conclusion, the use of racing exhaust on a 150 cc Supra GTR motorcycle can produce higher performance and better response compared to the standard factory default exhaust.
