Mikhail Bulgakov is one of the renowned Soviet writers of the 20th century, whose works are noted for their imaginative and highly satirical nature. The intellectual image serves as one of the main character categories in the authors works. Bulgakov casts on these characters the ideology and social atmosphere of Soviet society in the early 20th century. Heart of a Dog is a milestone in Bulgakov's novel writing. The purpose of this essay is to take Professor Preobrazhensky as an example, to analyze the common points of the author's image of intellectuals who are extravagant, conservative, and obstinate, and to further analyze the tragic destiny of these intellectuals from the aspects of scientific ethics and personal worship.
Multicultural Elements of the Mongol-Yuan Silk Textile
Authors: Meng Hanlin
Published: January 2024

Textiles have played a significant role in understanding the life and thinking of its users. Yuan silk textile greatly merges the weaving styles from the land that the Mongol-Yuan conquered. This paper offers an explanation on a specific Yuan silk textile by analyzing its motifs, colors, techniques, and the users attitudes toward them. This textile would require an overall look with Han and Islamic pattern structure, with a Taoism symbol, Buddhist lotus, and Mongolian nomadic totems. These features can be discussed with a comparison of the works of previous dynasties and evinced by historical records. This paper proposes that the previous dichotomy or setting of the Yuans preference for some cultures is misleading. Instead, it should be realized that the motifs and techniques imply the Mongol Yuans admiration of Buddhism, Han culture, and Islamic weaving techniques. In this admiration, the Yuans ban on the application of some motifs conveys their narrow cultural controls and causes the misunderstanding that denies their contribution to cultural communication. A motif cannot be clearly defined as a representation of one single culture. In other words, the Yuan court followed the confluence of diverse cultures with the development of commercial and travel.

Research on the Advantages of Short Video and the Way to Revive Long Video
Authors: Wen Hao
Published: January 2024

Short video is one of the fastest growing industries at present, and the spread of short video on social media is very large. Long videos not only provide more selectivity, but also change the way humans watch videos. However, in the face of massive content competition, it becomes more difficult to attract viewers, leading to more people choosing to watch short videos. This paper explores the advantages of short video in modern communication, and proposes the revival of long video. Short videos are popular for their concise and clear features, which grab viewers' attention in a fast-paced society. They are easily shared and disseminated across various platforms, expanding the reach of information. Moreover, short videos provide a rich audio-visual experience, making communication more lively and interesting. On the other hand, long videos face challenges such as the dominance of short video platforms, rising membership fees, and copyright restrictions. To revive long videos, platforms can open up copyrights, reduce fees, and improve member benefits. Creators should focus on producing premium content with appealing themes, while the government can promote the import of foreign films to enrich viewing options. Viewers can use their free time to watch long-form videos in theaters or on TV. By addressing these challenges and promoting quality content, long-form videos can thrive alongside short-form videos in the modern media landscape.
Three Quadrant Being: A New Analysis on Human Condition
Authors: Yan Sining
Published: January 2024

The question of human existence and the meaning of life has been a topic of debate for generations. This paper presents the "Three Quadrant Model" as a new approach to understanding the human condition: the temporal, the absurd, and the meaningful states of being. These reflect three phases where humans may live within societal structures, recognize the inherent absurdity of existence, and create their own sense of meaning, respectively. While examining some investigated existential literature and historical philosophical perspectives, the research asserts that humans jump back and forth among these states rather than progressing linearly, as stated by Nietzsches three metamorphoses. The three states are characterized by equality, ambiguity, universality, and subjectivity. Ultimately, the model suggests that the quest for life's meaning is subjective, and that no single state is inherently superior to others. The study calls for further exploration into the logical foundations and practical applications of this model.
Study of the Development of American Feminism (1790-1990): Three Waves and Interaction with Racial Equality Movement
Authors: Song Xinlu
Published: January 2024

Since the birth of feminism, it has been committed to pushing for transforming the inequality state between males and females. American feminism achieved incredible achievements within the last three centuries, not only legislatively, but also ideologically. Meanwhile, the feminism of America and another one of the most essential social group that struggled for their own rights of egalitarianism -- African Americans--have been influenced by one another, making progresses in separate or communal interests. This paper will use literature and case analysis to focus on three waves of the development of American feminism and some important interactions between feminism and the racial equality movement, which aims to find out the differences and evolving factors in three stages of American feminism development and analyze whether positive or negative impacts weigh more when racial equality movement interacted with feminism movement. The result of the research is that the first wave of American feminism was liberal feminism with a significant symbol of gaining female suffrage; the second wave of American feminism was more radical and far more concerned with issues of class and race; the third wave of America feminism was less characterized by a specific political agenda and more of a culture revolution. Furthermore, it could be beneficial for both of them when American Feminism cooperates properly with the racial equality movement.

Re-employment of the Young-Old People in China: Reflection on the Legal Protection
Authors: Lei Haoxiang
Published: January 2024

In the context of population ageing, young-old people aged 60-69 are considered the main force in the re-employment strategy in China. However, dilemmas exist in the reality. After a summary of previous researches, it is clear that young-old people have less job opportunities and get less salary compared with their younger competitors. Moreover, there is no work-related safeguard for these workers. To further explore the issue, this article focuses on the current legal system and theories in the academic field as to the recognition of labor relationship and prohibition of age discrimination. It turns out that, retirement as an obligation has blocked recognizing labor relations in a natural and reasonable manner by disregarding the parties' autonomy and the natural characteristics of labor relationship; On the issue of age discrimination, the meaning and role of age discrimination in the current legal system are still not clear. Combined with experience learned from Japan, suggestions can be further given: Retirement should no longer be ruled as an obligation as it is not in line with the reality; On this basis, the recognition of labor relationship should be reset with a purpose of respecting parties' autonomy and following natural characteristics of labour relations; All the young-old workers should be equipped with work-related injury insurance as inclined protection of elderly people. Furthermore, the importance of regulations on age discrimination in line with other measures is usually underestimated. In order to achieve substantive equality in the workplace, the author holds that the judgement standard of age discrimination should be clarified as soon as possible and an age discrimination review system and a punishment mechanism should be established.
The Impact of the Personal Characteristics of Artists on the Price of Their Contemporary Artworks Based on the Hedonic Model
Authors: Wang Anqi
Published: January 2024

As an economic model, the Hedonic model can be used to explain the formation of commodity prices and the factors behind it. In the field of art, researchers can also use the Hedonic model to explore the formation mechanism of art prices and its influencing factors. The practical value of artworks is very limited, so their prices are mainly determined by their non-practical value. The non-practical value includes the personal characteristics of the artist, the characteristics of the artwork itself, the auction characteristics of the artwork, and so on. Through the Hedonic model and regression analysis of various explanatory variables that may potentially affect the price of artworks, this paper obtains a number of factors that significantly affect the price of contemporary paintings in terms of the artists personal characteristics. According to the results, it is found that the price of an artwork can be affected by the artists overall reputation, experience, and background, and whether the artist is still alive.

On Heidegger's Concept of "Dasein" A Discussion Based on Being and Time
Authors: Cheng Yutian
Published: January 2024

"Dasein" is a central concept in Heidegger's philosophy, representing a unique form of existence among many. Unlike other existents, it takes priority over them, defining their existence. Unlike other theories of existence, the ontological treatment of "Dasein" is not an abstract idea but deeply rooted in everyday human life. This paper explores the concept of "Dasein" following the insights of Being and Time. This passage discusses the background and significance of Martin Heidegger's philosophy, as well as its research value and influence on subsequent philosophers. It then delves into Heidegger's philosophy of "Dasein," explaining its fundamental constructs, including the rejection of the Cartesian subject and the establishment of a solid philosophical foundation based on existence itself rather than the level of the existent. It further explores the basic ways in which Dasein unfolds, such as "thrownness," "projection," and "fallenness," deepening the understanding of the structure of being-in-the-world and its fundamental regulations.

Authors: Li Yuzhang
Published: January 2024

After nearly one hundred years of interpretation, comic strips can be chronologically sorted into emergent, prosperity, change and bottleneck. Through research, this paper discusses the comprehensive impact of social and economic factors on each of these periods and deduces and summarizes the characteristics of differentiated narratives. In the new period, Chinese comic strips gradually receded due to market factors, while original Chinese picture books grew. Although there is a difference in the visual presentation form between the two, they have partly inherited the characteristics of the comic strips in the 80's and 90's. The thesis conducts a comparative study on the differences and similarities between the two and discusses their creative value and contemporary significance.

"Childisation of Adults" Due to Media Influence
Authors: Wang Weiting
Published: January 2024

The subculture trend of adult-childrenisation provides a new way of thinking about life and the pursuit of values for young people during the period of social transformation, and the spread of this phenomenon is externally driven by the function of media culture and entertainment, and internally driven by the audience's need to perform a change of mind. Although it has certain positive effects, it still needs to be correctly guided, and the misplaced media roles and individual self-perception errors caused by excessive dissemination may lead to a series of social problems.In a nutshell, adults can keep their childhood filters, but they can't remain immersed in their childhood mirrors and ignore the realities of their needs and immediate endeavours. It is a very simple truth that real life cannot wait for a miracle. Similarly, real life, even if it is miserable, needs to be faced head on and the future made with the struggles that belong to adults.
Discourse, Power, and the Body A Study of Postcolonialism in the Works of J.M. Coetzee
Authors: Shi Fangzhou
Published: January 2024

J.M. Coetzee, one of the most esteemed authors in the English-speaking world today, exhibited clear postcolonial tendencies in his early works. In his later writings, he gradually shifted his focus away from the South African context to explore themes such as rewriting classics, marginalized communities, and immigration. This paper, rooted in Foucault's theory of discourse-power and theories of the body, examines Coetzee's reflections and critiques of the discourse-power relationship and social disciplinary practices in his works. Furthermore, drawing from postcolonial scholars like Homi Bhabha, the paper investigates the consistent central-peripheral colonial geometric relationships in Coetzee's works and summarizes the strategies of "appropriation" and "mimicry" as means to challenge and subvert these power dynamics.

Technological Dystopia: Hindered Democratization of Technology in Margaret Atwoods The Heart Goes Last
Authors: Minge Zhu
Published: January 2024

Margaret Atwood constructs a chaotic and disorderly dystopian society in The Heart Goes Last, where the technology is turned into a tool for manipulation, exploitation, and objectification of people. This article attempts to analyze the undemocratic use of technology depicted in the Positron project and the obstacles it poses to the development of technological democracy from the perspective of Andrew Feenbergs critical theory of technology. The article analyzes the undemocratic technology in the book from both the physical and mental aspects, arguing that it strengthens control and surveillance over citizens bodies and manipulates their mental world, severely violating citizens human rights. Atwood portrays the social problems resulting from the obstacles to democratization of technology in the book, revealing that undemocratic use of technology brings not well-being but deeper disasters. This rings an alarm bell in the context of rapid scientific and technological development, prompting people to reflect on how to better use technology for the benefit of humanity and promote democratization of technology.
Exploring the Temporal Expressions in Chinese from the Linguistics Perspectives
Authors: Luo Yuhui
Published: January 2024

Chinese offers an intriguing linguistic terrain for temporal expressions that is vastly distinct from many Indo-European languages, which use verb conjugation structures for this purpose. This paper delves deep into China's nuanced temporal nuances, exploring their implications on time delineation using uninflected verbs. Focusing on contextual clues, adverbs, particles and sentence structure we observe the interaction among these components that ensure clarity and precision when conveying temporal information. Notably, temporal adverbs such as "Gang Gang" and "Gang Cai", when used with aspect markers, create layers of temporal ambiguity which underline how language's inherent flexibility relies on shared contextual understanding. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of Chinese temporal expressions, this paper highlights the adaptability of languages, as well as their mutually reinforcing relationship between grammar and pragmatics, and culture and cognition in communicating time's complexity.

Authors: Miranda Mogane Kgomego , Declercq Chloe , Bashir Salah
Published: January 2024

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), involving two modalities of dialysis, namely haemodialysis (HD) and/or peritoneal dialysis (PD) remain the mainstay of therapy for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) worldwide. The goals of renal replacement therapy are multi-pronged. They are not only limited to ensuring patient survival, but also improving patient overall well-being and quality of life. The relationship between employment and quality of life are often closely linked.  Peritoneal dialysis provides patients with greater flexibility, independence and control over their treatment. This is particularly advantageous to the working ESKD patients. On the other hand, HD sessions can often interfere with work schedules due to HD facility attendance and the duration of each session. This case report highlights PD and its impact on improved quality of life by specifically supporting the case patient ‘s ability to maintain employment as a commercial truck driver. In addition, it edifies both ESRD patients and clinicians, particularly in developing countries, on the advantages of PD. These advantages extend beyond the physiological preservation of residual renal function and patient survival, but also embody the improvement of the overall well-being and quality of patients’ lives by broadening the employment horizon of patients in even high-risk occupations such as commercial truck driving.

Finding the Sublime
Authors: Hamilton Fiona
Published: January 2024

My intention for this body of work was to evoke the concept of the sublime to make us consider our place in relation to the natural world and the importance of mature mother trees in healthy ecosystems. The use of dark colours and warm tones, along with layering and highly detailed mark-making, give an ethereal and occasionally slightly unnerving sense. The use of chine collé with Japanese tissues can give a faintly shiny or almost glowing effect, along with the use of earth tones and metallic pigments to enhance and add depth
Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition Risk: Analysis of Seo-gu, Incheon Tank Truck Explosion
Authors:   National Fire Research Institute of Korea, Kim Soon Young , Kim Hyung Jun , Yun Junggwon
Published: January 2024

In 2020, a significant accident occurred at a chemical plant in Seo-gu, Incheon, involving a tank explosion during the recovery of a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide in a tank lorry. This accident caused multiple casualties and extensive property damage. This study investigated the cause of the chemical explosion through a reproduction experiment (reactivity and temperature change) and a component analysis of the field samples. The results revealed a runaway reaction approximately 17 minutes after mixing hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide, resulting in a temperature increase to 85 °C. Component analysis using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and pH analysis confirmed the similarity between the components of the product after the chemical reaction and the sample collected on site. Mechanical and electrical inspections of the exploded tank lorry exhibited a typical brittle fracture shape in the broken steel plate, indicating a structural failure. Electrical assessment ruled out the possibility of explosion due to static electricity and electrical singularities. We infer that the tank lorry explosion occurred due to the accelerated decomposition reaction caused by the positive catalytic action of sodium hydroxide mixed with hydrogen peroxide, which rapidly increased pressure within the tank.

У статті наведено дані моніторингу потреби регіонів України в підвезенні дітей старшого дошкільного віку до закладів дошкільної освіти та у зворотному напрямку. Моніторинг проведено в межах членства в робочій групі Міністерства освіти і науки України (далі – МОН) з розроблення пропозицій щодо врегулювання питання перевезення дітей дошкільного віку в заклади дошкільної освіти шкільними автобусами (наказ МОН від 15.11.2023 № 1396) на виконання листа МОН від 01.12.2023 № 6/297-23.  Зібрані дані будуть корисні у процесі підготовки змін до ключових нормативно-правових актів та розпорядчих відомчих документів, якими має регламентуватися організація відповідних перевезень. У подальшому стане можливим вирішення питань їх фінансування, матеріально-технічного і кадрового забезпечення. Вивчення даного питання актуалізувалося в умовах дії воєнного стану і на фоні посилення зусиль держави щодо оптимізації безкоштовних й безпечних перевезень учнів до закладів загальної середньої освіти (включно з опорними закладами та їхніми філіями) з урахуванням освітніх втрат, яких зазнала і система дошкільної освіти. Це є перше прицільне вивчення потреби в підвезенні здобувачів дошкільної освіти, яке показує реальну картину справ станом на кінець 2023 року та допоможе органам управління освітою спільно з органами Національної поліції, інших міністерств і відомств оцінити ресурси, резерви, ризики, економічну та соціальну вигоду від нововведень, убезпечитися від помилок на основі наявного багаторічного досвіду організації перевезень школярів із залученням спеціалізованих автобусів, орендованого, громадського, приватного транспорту.
ANONİM ŞİRKET YÖNETİM KURULU ÜYELERİNİN SEÇİMİNE İLİŞKİN GENEL KURUL KARARININ HÜKÜMSÜZLÜĞÜNÜN YÖNETİM KURULUNCA ALINAN KARARLARA VE BU KARARLARA DAYANILARAK YAPILAN İŞLEMLERE ETKİSİ

Türk hukukunda anonim şirket yönetim kurulu üyeleri, kural olarak genel kurul tarafından seçilirler (TTK 408/2-b). Diğer tüm genel kurul kararları gibi, söz konusu üyelerin seçimine ilişkin kararın da hukuka uygun bir şekilde alınmış olması gerekmektedir. Aksi taktirde, seçim kararının -hukuka aykırılığın sebebine göre- yokluk veya butlan yahut iptal sebebiyle hükümsüzlüğü gündeme gelecektir. İşte bu çalışmada, hukuken sakat bir genel kurul kararı ile seçilmiş olan ve fiilen görevini icra etmeye başlamış olan yönetim kurulu üyelerinin, seçim kararının hükümsüzlüğünün kesin bir mahkeme kararı ile belirlenmesi anına kadar geçen süre zarfında aldıkları kararların ve yapmış oldukları hukuki işlemlerin akıbetinin ne olacağı hususu ele alınacaktır. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle seçimi sakat yönetim kurulu üyelerinin üçüncü kişilerle yaptığı işlemlerin akıbeti, sonrasında ise söz konusu üyelerin katılımı ile alınan yönetim kurulu kararlarının ve bu kararlara dayanılarak üçüncü kişilerle yapılan işlemlerin akıbeti değerlendirilecektir. Ayrıca arz ettiği önem dolayısıyla, seçimi sakat yönetim kurulu üyelerinin katılımıyla alınan çağrı kararı üzerine toplanan genel kurulun ve alınan kararların geçerliliği meselesi ele alınacaktır. Bunların yanı sıra, hukuken sakat bir karar ile seçilen ve fiilen görevini icra etmeye başlamış olan bir organın hukuki durumu ve yaptığı işlemlerin geçerliliğine ilişkin olarak Alman hukukunda geliştirilmiş olan ve “Sakat Organ Doktrini” (“Die Lehre vom fehlerhaften Organ”) şeklinde Türkçeye çevrilebilecek olan, çözüm odaklı bir doktrinel yaklaşımdan bahsedilecek; akabinde söz konusu doktrininin Türk Hukuku açısından uygulanabilirliği hususunda bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır.
O CORPO NEGRO NA ENCRUZILHADA:
Authors: Rodrigues Lylian , Chagas Bruno
Published: January 2024

Na descolonização racial moderna, estranhar pele, reconhecer a diferença e criar uma identidade não-branca é um processo de descarrego e despacho. Apresentamos impasses da construção identitária de um corpo negro ancestral, que em sua gênese diaspórica, sofreu atrocidades pelo sistema escravista por séculos até hoje. Mas, não sem resistência e reencontro com ancestralidade, de onde emana potência e tecnologia preta para desfazer males e caminhar em novas direções. Partimos da visão de Franz Fanon, elucidando o cenário colonial danoso às subjetividades em termos da psique dos corpos atingidos pela perversão da colonização - negação da construção ontológica do ser negro. No estado de ser, na manifestação da existência, abre-se uma brecha epistemológica com desconstruções paradigmáticas pós-modernas para qual o corpo negro ocupa uma zona de não-ser: a encruzilhada. Caminhos são abertos para uma reviravolta epistêmica e uma forma poética de descarrego colonial de toda má sorte despejada sobre os corpos negros.
O DESAFIO DE UMA DOCÊNCIA PARA A CONTEMPORANEIDADE E A DEMOCRACIA:

Diversalidade, pertencimento e educação representam temáticas que se entrecruzam à premissa de um ensino democrático e acessível. Este artigo objetiva discutir como o conhecimento e ação docentes voltados às pedagogias orientadas à cultura, ao sujeito e ao pertencimento e engajamento educacional de estudantes que integram minorias em suas vivências educacionais iniciais. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura, desenvolvida a partir de publicações relacionadas a estas pedagogias. Identificou-se que a diversalidade se apresenta desafiadora ao docente e requer disposição de pesquisa, investigação e envolvimento, especialmente nos anos iniciais, em que o professor tem a premissa de imergir às exterioridades dos discentes e ao seu contexto histórico, social, econômico e cultural de opressão, rompendo e problematizando os fatores críticos de contenção do sujeito em identificação à sua realidade, desestruturando aquilo que está explícito e implícito no sentido de colonializar e trazer um fazer transformacional, pautado no sujeito e em seu reconhecimento.
