Authors: Zhu Haiqing
Published: May 2024

As one of Jack London’s famous northern frontier novels, To Build a Fire is a story about an unnamed protagonist called “the man” who, in his adventure to cross the polar Yukon River Territory, freezes to death finally. Most studies about it analyzed the power of nature demonstrated in this story. However, in this confrontation between man and nature, there are no studies about the protagonist’s tragic ending, which plays an important role in dealing with the relation between man and nature. In this paper, in conjunction with Yi-Fu Tuan’s theory of man-place relation, the reason of the protagonist’s tragedy is explored from two aspects. One is the desire of the protagonist to escape away from the old place and leave for the new place, the other is the disharmonious relation between the protagonist and the new place. In the process of analyzing, the relationship among the protagonist, the old place (America) and the new place (Yukon River Territory) is revealed, which enlightens human that only the harmonious relation between man and place can achieve the long-term development of man and nature .
Buddhist Architecture Exchanges between China and Pakistan
Authors: Wei Lian
Published: May 2024

This study explores the friendly exchanges in Buddhist architecture between China and Pakistan from a geographical perspective. It probes mainly into the exchanges occurring from the 1st to the 10th century AD between ancient China and ancient Pakistan (the region where Pakistan is presently located). With the channels for exchanges between China and South Asia opening up and the Silk Road being established, the large-scale eastward spread of Buddhism became possible, creating opportunities for Buddhism communication between people of the two nations. The design and construction of Chinese Buddhist temples, pagodas and grottoes exhibit features typical of Buddhist architecture in ancient Pakistan, particularly the Gandhara Buddhist sculpture art that has profound influence on Buddha statues in China. In over a thousand years Chinese Buddhist architecture absorbed elements from that of ancient Pakistan, yet created its unique Chinese style, showing a perfect integration of the two cultures. The Buddhist architecture exchanges between ancient China and ancient Pakistan have far-reaching significance in promoting cultural communication and strengthening the friendship between people of the two nations.

The human face is an important organ of an individual’s body and it especially plays an important role in extraction of an individual‘s behavior and emotional state. Manually segregating the list of songs and generating an appropriate playlist based on an individual’s emotional features is a very tedious, time consuming, labor intensive and upheld task. Various algorithms have been proposed and developed for automating the playlist generation process.However the proposed existing algorithms in use are computationally slow, less accurate and sometimes even require use of additional hardware like EEG or sensors. This proposed system based on facial expression extracted will generate a playlist automatically thereby reducing the effort and time involved in rendering the process manually. Thus the proposed system tends to reduce the computational time involved in obtaining the results and the overall cost of the designed system, thereby increasing the overall accuracy of the system. Testing of the system is done on both user dependent (dynamic) and user independent (static) dataset. Facial expressions are captured using an inbuilt camera. The accuracy of the emotion detection algorithm used in the system for real time images is around 85-90%, while for static images it is around 98- 100%.The proposed algorithm on an average calculated estimation takes around 0.95-1.05 sec to generate an emotion based music playlist. Thus, it yields better accuracy in terms of performance and computational time and reduces the designing cost, compared to the algorithms used in the literature survey.

Published: May 2024

With the continuous development of urban agglomerations, higher demands are placed on intercity public transport travel services. To improve these services, it is necessary to comprehensively understand the views and evaluations of travelers. Taking the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration in China as the object, this study explores subjective attitude indicators from self-administrated survey data and examines the relationship among perceived accessibility, preference, and satisfaction for intercity public transport using a structural equation model. The results show that perceived service quality has a direct positive impact on perceived accessibility and satisfaction. Perceived accessibility and preference significantly affect satisfaction. In addition, perceived accessibility mediates the effect of service quality on satisfaction. This study provides valuable insights from a policy perspective to improve the subjective evaluation of intercity public transport travelers while emphasizing the importance of subjective variables in transport system evaluation and advocates for their subdivision to more comprehensively improve travel experience.

Dijital Medyada Kültürel İçerik Üreticiliğinin Ekonomik Sermayeye Dönüşümünde Patreon Modeli İncelemesi
Authors: Dukul Aysun
Published: May 2024

Dijitalleşme, medya endüstrisinde ödemeleri, ürünleri ve hizmetleri hızla dönüştürmüştür. Dijital medyadaki dönüşüm ile içerik üreticileri, alternatif gelir modelleri ile emeklerini, zamanlarını, sosyal, kültürel ve simgesel sermayelerini ekonomik sermayeye dönüştürebilmektedir. Geleneksel gelir modellerinden farklı olarak çevrimiçi kitlesel fonlama, dijital medyada farklı projelerin geliştirilmesi ve kaynak yaratmada alternatif bir fonlama türüdür. Dijital ekonominin yükselişi, çevrimiçi kitlesel fonlama platformlarıyla birleştiğinde, geleneksel gelir modellerine bağlılık azalarak medya kullanıcılarıyla bağlantı kurulur. Amerika merkezli Patreon, kültürel içerik üreticileri için aboneliğe dayalı kitlesel fonlama platformlarının en büyüğüdür. Bağışçılar sevdikleri içerik üreticilerini desteklerken özel üyelik avantajları hak eder (Patreon, 2023). Çalışmada Türkiye’de Patreon gelir modeli ile kendini finanse eden dijital kültürel içerik üreticilerinden Evrim Ağacı ve Fularsız Entellik örnek olayında ekonomi-politik bağımsızlık ve sürdürülebilirlik temaları sorgulanmıştır. Kitlesel fonlama davranışını açıklamada Bourdrieu'nun sermaye teorilerinden hareketle Patreon modelinin Türkiye’de sürdürülebilirliği ve medya ekonomisindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Keşfedici araştırma stratejisinde Fularsız Entellik ve Evrim Ağacı'nın dijital medyadaki konumları, doküman analizi, katılımcı gözlem ve yapılandırılmış görüşmeden alınan yanıtlar içerik analiziyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Örneklemdeki içerik üreticilerinin kendilerini önemli ölçüde finanse edebildikleri, hedeflerinin büyüklüğü doğrultusunda gelir modellerini çeşitlendirmeyi planladıkları anlaşılmıştır. İçerik üreticilerinin ilişkisel emekle bağlantı kurduğu destekçilerin, ülke şartlarının özgün yapısında birçok psikolojik ve toplumsal, ekonomi-politik motivasyon saptanmıştır.
