Formation of back-arc basins by lithospheric warping: examples of the Andaman, Bismarck and Banda Sea basins
Authors: Orvos Peter
Published: June 2023

Back-arc basins represent an intriguing phenomenon of the lithospheric evolution. They are the places of potential subduction initiation, what makes them highly important features within the theory of plate tectonics. The circumstances of their origin and life cycle are not well understood and whether the retreat of subduction is a cause or consequence of back-arc basin development remains an open issue. In the presented work, a new approach has been used, based on the model of thin shell warping. Within this concept, the plate warps due to proximity of translational boundary when its forward movement is constrained. Following the process, the lithospheric slab can steepen, roll-back and sink to the 660 km transition layer, reaching an amphitheatre-like geometry. The specific shape of deformation resembles the topology of several reference basins. Results show that subduction retreat, back-arc extension and arcuate geometry may only represent different demonstrations of one underlying physical mechanism. Modelling suggests that the movement of plates and their interactions, together with the curvature of the Earth’s surface, could be responsible for the formation of back-arc basins.
Diamond open access with preregistration: a new publishing model for palaeontology
Authors: Drage Harriet , Wong Hearing Thomas
Published: June 2023

The current academic publishing model is systemically unfit for purpose. The academic publishing ecosystem is dominated by a few large for-profit publishing houses which, at every stage of the publication process, transform academic work and public resources into private profit. Although extracting substantial profits, these publishing houses themselves add little value to the final published work, impose policies that strip copyright from authors and institutions, and bake in opaque and sometimes discriminatory gatekeeping to the publication process. Systemic problems in academic publishing have for decades been suggested to hinder access to academic research, suppress original thought, bias the publishing process against people with protected characteristics, and simultaneously provoke unnecessary changes to articles whilst failing to improve the quality of flawed work. The diamond open access (DOA) journal model addresses many of these issues, particularly financial accessibility and authors’ retention of copyright. Some publishers, such as the geoscience-specialist Copernicus Publications, have developed protocols to increase transparency and efficacy in review processes, and others have made recent moves towards including preregistration of research protocols with the aim of bolstering the rigour of the academic process. However, publishing options that offer all these facilities are few and far between. In palaeontology there is a notable paucity of transparent open science publications, with only a handful of discipline-specific options for DOA publishing. Here, we present a new publishing model that builds in financial accessibility, transparency, and accountability from the ground up. This model is broadly applicable across academic publishing, including to academic palaeontology. The new model incorporates community-driven DOA publishing procedures, a broad-access and transparent peer review system, research protocol preregistration, and a systematic but flexible approach to publishing work at various stages throughout the research process. We aim to demonstrate the potential of a more flexible, more transparent, more equitable academic publishing model, and declare our intention to establish a new palaeontology journal rooted in these principles.

Inappropriate or poorly constructed sanitation is becoming one of the major challenges confronting rapidly urbanizing cities in the global south such as Ethiopia. This study was carried out to understand the sanitation and solid waste management challenges present in the city of Mekelle, in order to identify opportunities for sustainable faecal and solid waste management. This involved conducting: (a) a review of previous studies, (b) field and laboratory investigations (water and faecal sludge quality), (c) assessments of the status of existing sanitation services, (d) analysis of hydrogeological connectivity between septic tanks and surface & ground waters, (e) participatory assessments of solid waste management issues, and (f) identification of good practice in terms of sustainable waste management. Our findings revealed that the water supply coverage in 2021 only reached 67.3% of the population with water mainly from treated groundwater wells and surface water (dam); with some communities using untreated water from other sources. Though 65.8% of the households were found to have access to toilet facilities, sanitation remains a major challenge due to multiple inter-related factors: (i) open defecation, (ii) dumping of liquid and solid waste into surface waters, and (iii) lack of maintenance of the municipal faecal sludge treatment facilities. Our study highlighted contamination pathways likely to be impacting shallow wells, streams/rivers and springs in the city. In order to reduce water consumption and promote sustainable circular waste management the following emerging practices should be supported and up-scaled: urban agriculture, green space development, waste separation at source, organic waste reuse, and support for small businesses involved in waste management. If the full benefits of sustainable waste management are to be recognized in Mekelle, then appropriate policies, strategies, and regulatory frameworks need to be developed and implemented, along with governmental support for capacity building and local innovation.
Auditory category learning in children with dyslexia
Authors: Roark Casey L , Thakkar Vishal J , Chandrasekaran Bharath , Centanni Tracy
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Developmental dyslexia is proposed to involve selective procedural memory deficits with intact declarative memory. Recent research in the domain of category learning has demonstrated that adults with dyslexia have selective deficits in information-integration category learning that is proposed to rely on procedural learning mechanisms and unaffected rule-based category learning that is proposed to rely on declarative, hypothesis testing mechanisms. Importantly, learning mechanisms also change across development, with distinct developmental trajectories in both procedural and declarative learning mechanisms. It is unclear how dyslexia in childhood should influence auditory category learning, a critical skill for speech perception and reading development. Method: We examined auditory category learning performance and strategies in 7-12-year-old children with dyslexia (n = 25, 9 Females, 16 Males) and typically developing controls (n = 25, 13 Females, 12 Males). Results: We found that children with dyslexia have a rule-based category learning deficit, rather than the selective information-integration learning deficit observed in prior work in adults with dyslexia. Conclusions: These results suggest that the important skill of auditory category learning is impacted in children with dyslexia and throughout development, individuals with dyslexia may develop compensatory strategies that preserve declarative learning while developing difficulties in procedural learning.
Music@Home - Retrospective: A New Measure to Retrospectively Assess Childhood Home Musical Environments

Published: June 2023

Early home musical environments can significantly impact sensory, cognitive, and socioemotional development. While longitudinal studies may be resource-intensive, retrospective reports are a relatively quick and inexpensive way to examine associations between early home musical environments and adult outcomes. We present the Music@Home – Retrospective scale, derived partly from the Music@Home – Preschool scale (Politimou et al., 2018) to retrospectively assess the childhood home musical environment. In two studies (total n = 578), we conducted an exploratory factor analysis (Study 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (Study 2) on items, including many adapted from the Music@Home – Preschool scale, revealing a 20-item solution with five subscales. Items retained for three subscales (Caregiver Beliefs, Caregiver Initiation of Singing, Child Engagement with Music) load identically to three in the Music@Home-Preschool Scale. We also identified two additional dimensions of the childhood home musical environment. The Attitude towards Childhood Home Musical Environment subscale captures participants’ current adult attitudes towards their childhood home musical environment, and the Social Listening Contexts subscaler indexes the degree to which participants listened to music at home with others (i.e., friends, siblings, and caregivers). Music@Home - Retrospective scores were related to adult self-reports of musicality, performance on a melodic perception task, and self-reports of well-being, demonstrating utility in measuring the early home music environment as captured through this scale. The Music@Home - Retrospective scale is freely available to enable future investigations exploring how the early home musical environment relates to adult cognition, affect, and behavior.
Combining Dynamic Norms and Working Together Appeals to Encourage Sustainable Food Choice in University Cafeterias: A Field Experiment
Authors: Veneny Marek , Hagemeister Carmen , Surrey Caroline
Published: June 2023

Livestock production contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, and freshwater scarcity. Excessive consumption of animal-sourced foods (ASF; broadly categorized as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy) in developed countries is also associated with avariety of health and ethical concerns. Shifting ASF-heavy diets to include more plant-sourced foods (PSF; mainly whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds) has been identified as an important lever to address these issues. However, food choice is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon influenced by conscious and unconscious processes and deeply embedded in cultural and social practices. Because of its embeddedness in the social context, one approach to changing food choices is to use socialinfluence. Dynamic normative appeals — appeals that aim to make a positive trend salient — have recently been used to guide a variety of pro-environmental behaviors, including food choice. The empirical evidence is hopeful but mixed. Another strand of the literature has suggested that appeals to work together might complement dynamic normative appealsto greater effect. I tested this hypothesis in a field experiment in a university cafeteria, using Instagram posts as a means of message delivery. The results show that while the combined use of dynamic norms and working together appeals did indeed lead to the mostvegan lunch orders, it did not substantially outperform the other conditions. Messaging geared toward sustainability in the food choice context, delivered through Instagram, elicited a generally positive sentiment from the students. I discuss the results from several perspectives, derive recommendations, and conclude with a call for a systemic approach toshifting demand in food choice.
Trilingual families' language strategies: potential predictors and effect on trilingual exposure
Authors: Quirk Erin , Hadeed Natasha , Byers-Heinlein Krista
Published: June 2023

Family language strategies are approaches that parents adopt for language use with their multilingual children. In bilingual contexts, these strategies influence children’s language exposure and development (Macleod et al., 2022). In the more complex context of trilingualism, how families settle on strategies and their relationship with exposure may differ. Here, we studied 31 families raising trilingual toddlers aged 18-36 months living in Montreal with English, French – the city’s two community languages – and various heritage languages. Families’ language strategy and language background, children’s exposure, and parents’ attitudes and concerns towards children’s trilingualism were assessed. The most frequent strategies adopted involved mixed use of a community and heritage language with children. Strategies that excluded the community languages at home were associated with lower parent proficiency in the community languages and higher heritage language exposure. Mixed strategies led to more balanced exposure to the three languages. Attitudes towards trilingualism were favorable, concerns were weak, and neither showed a relationship with family language strategy choice. These findings shed new light on unique features of trilingual language environments and open future directions for research on how they relate to the development of three languages.
Interaction of Perception and Memory
Authors: Megla Emma , Bainbridge Wilma A.
Published: June 2023

Whereas visual perception is the interpretation of the light that enters the retina of the eye, long-term memory is the encoding, storage, and retrieval of perceptual experiences and learned information. Although these are separable processes, they continuously interact and influence each other. For example, the underlying perceptual features of an image result in large consistency in whether people will remember or forget it, and the visual similarities that images share can influence how well they will be remembered. The exaggeration of visual features, such as enlarged eyes on a face, can lead to enhanced memory, and a build-up in perceptual experience can also improve memory. In addition to perception influencing memory, memory also influences perception. Familiarity with an object or object category can result in enhanced perceptual processing, or even lead to the stimuli “looking” different than they otherwise would. Additionally, learning a new category of objects changes how we perceive its categorical members, and even members of different, related categories. Perception and memory are closely intertwined in the brain as well, with mechanisms that allow similar perceptual items to be distinguished in memory, but also support incomplete perceptual details to be filled in from memory. Additionally, there are divisions in the brain dedicated to the perceptual and mnemonic processing of different object categories, such as faces and scenes. In other words, there are widespread examples in which memory and perception influence each other, with neural mechanisms and areas set in place to deal with these complex interactions.
People constrain their semantic associations when talking to both friends and strangers
Authors: Tsang Shelly , Lipson Jennie , Snyder Anna Grace , Wood Adrienne
Published: June 2023

During conversations, people face a tradeoff between establishing understanding and making interesting and unique contributions. How do people balance this when deciding which concepts to reference, and does it matter how well they know their conversation partner? In the present work, participants made stream-of-consciousness word associations either with a partner or alone—simplified versions of dialogue and monologue. Participants made semantically narrower and more predictable word associations with a stranger than alone (Study 1), suggesting that they constrain their associations to establish mutual understanding. Increasing closeness (Study 2) or having a prior relationship (Study 3) did not moderate this effect. Thus, even during a task that does not depend on establishing mutual understanding, people sacrifice being interesting for the sake of being understood.
Language Style Matching in Directive and Nondirective Play Therapy
Authors: Marquez Oriana , Dykeman Cass
Published: June 2023

Corpus linguistics methodology has been used to analyze a wide range of relationship-related topics. However, this study represents the first attempt to examine the linguistic processes underlying the therapeutic alliance in play therapy. Linguistic style matching (LSM) properties were utilized to assess the therapeutic alliance and compare the transcriptions of six distinguished play therapists, three of who used nondirective play therapy techniques to those of three therapists who employed directive play therapy. Using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software to assess LSM, the content of corpus was analyzed. Both Frequentist and Bayesian analyses comparing the directive and nondirective approaches were employed. Frequentist analysis revealed nonsignificant results and a trivial effect size. Bayesian analysis results suggest a lack of evidence for either difference or equality of the two approaches studies. Several implications for play therapy practice and future research were developed in response to these findings.
Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Aspiration Index and the relationship between aspirations and subjective well-being
Authors: Sonmez Fatih
Published: June 2023

The 35-item Aspiration Index (Kasser and Ryan, 1996) comprises seven life goals and is a widely used tool for measuring how much individuals care about each life goal and for deriving a relative intrinsic/extrinsic goal orientation score. This research tested the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Aspiration Index and investigated the relationships between life goals and subjective well-being. The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed a seven-factor solution, as expected, and the factors exhibited good reliability. A follow-up confirmatory factor analysis supported the seven-factor structure by showing that the data fit the model well and that the index demonstrated good structural validity. The present research also found that the only life goal with significant correlations to subjective well-being was the community contributions goal. Moreover, age was positively correlated with subjective well-being, and women were more intrinsically oriented and more satisfied with their lives than men.

The Bukhali trial is being implemented with young women (18-28 years) in Soweto, South Africa. A qualitative longitudinal study was conducted to explore Bukhali trial participants’ perceptions of health and their health behaviours over time and in the context of their life circumstances. This article reports an interpretation of interview data from a sub-sample of 11 of 35 participants who participated in four interviews conducted over 12 months. A longitudinal case analysis approach was applied, and four themes were developed: life circumstances, perceptions of health, health behaviours and changes, and experiences of the trial. Participants experienced largely challenging life circumstances characterised by instability and lack of security in terms of employment and education. Their health and health behaviour trajectories also lacked stability and were fragile within the Soweto context. Data were also interpreted through the lens of a concept previously explored in Soweto and introduced in the final interview: ukuphumelela (‘flourishing’). This concept provided a useful framework for understanding the dominance of external or structural (versus internal or personal) factors and social dynamics influencing the health behaviour and life trajectories of participants, particularly in terms of success in the face of difficulty. Participants’ experiences of the trial highlighted the critical role of support provided by and trust established with trial staff. This longitudinal qualitative approach provides unique perspectives about the Bukhali trial over time, the importance of contextualising health behaviour change, and the variable instability impacting the participants, outcomes and implementation of Bukhali in Soweto, a vulnerable setting.
MINDFULNESS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS MODERATORS OF BEHAVIORAL INHIBITION SENSITIVITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS
Authors: Silber Edward , Garn Alex
Published: June 2023

Framed in Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory, the current study examined the moderating effects of mindfulness and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on the relationship between behavioral inhibition system (BIS) sensitivity and psychological distress. Participants (N=183) were college students at a large public university in the Southeastern United States. Data were collected using an online survey with self-report questionnaires that demonstrated acceptable reliability. Data analysis utilized multiple linear regression models to test study hypotheses. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between BIS sensitivity and psychological distress, with mindfulness and MVPA significantly moderating this association. Specifically, increased reports of mindfulness and MVPA related to lower psychological distress for participants with higher than average BIS sensitivity. Mindfulness was especially effective at minimizing psychological distress for these individuals. This study expanded upon current Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory literature by examining the moderating effects of two emotional regulation strategies on BIS sensitivity and psychological distress. Findings from this study suggest that mindfulness and MVPA are unique strategies that buffer the link between BIS sensitivity and psychological distress. Understanding subpopulations of college students with increased risk for psychological distress (i.e., those with high BIS sensitivity) and identifying diverse strategies that effectively lower this risk (i.e., mindfulness; MVPA) can be used to develop targeted interventions that reduce psychopathology and promote mental health. Similarly, mindfulness and MVPA are potentially empowering strategies that college students can learn to adopt, implement, and manage on their own.
Ecological Conscience in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things
Authors: Regmi Dipendra Raj
Published: June 2023

This paper analyses how the twin protagonists reflect their ecological conscience despite modern development in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997) from an eco-critical perspective. Roy's narrative revolves around the frightening image of River Meenachal after the rapid development of the tourism industry in Kerala, India. The novel projects the interconnection of human beings, plants, and animals with River Meenachal. But the pollution into the lifeblood invites numerous hazards into nature. The encroachment toward the river occurs with modern materialistic development in India. Its immediate impact falls badly on plants, animals, and human beings. These issues in the novel invite a systematic exploration with the eco-critical insights proposed by Aldo Leopold and Paul W. Taylor. As a qualitative applied research, this paper draws on ideas from Leopold's concept of “Land Community” and Taylor's “Bio-centric Outlook”. An ecological conscience is the only way to get out of the complexities caused by modern development. Harmony and integration with nature render the vibration of ecological sublimity to the protagonists. Their reflection secures the ecological future of Kerala, India, as well as other parts of the world.
Artistic Craftsmanship and Architectural Representation of Newar Rituals in the Heritages: Study of Krishna Mandir and Adinatha
Authors: Gautam Mani Bhadra
Published: June 2023

Artistic-architectural craftsmanship in and around the Krishna Mandir in Patan and Adinath Temple in Chovar Kirtipur are based on myth making of the factual and fictional world representation of the history of art and artistic development. Arts, performances and activities of the god-goddesses carved in the statues and portraits reflected there in different positions are researchable. Erotic activities carved in the statues, tudals and roofs expose then activities of gods-goddesses that reflect the history of our ancestor’s and the present ritual groups worship there on the statue with certain expectations as they believe that the honor of gods-goddesses is to fulfill their dreams and desires with their blessings. The objective of this article is to show the importance of historical arts and architectural craftsmanship-based activities that create the relationship among nature, religion and human-non human activities. To achieve the research goal, this study centers in ritual activities and artistic representation on the historical places of Adinath Temple in Kirtipur and Krishna Mandir at Patan in Nepal. This researcher applies Cultural and Environmental study methods through field visit applying interview-based technique. Finding of this paper is that the carving nature and carved portraits in and around Krishna Mandir and Adinath Temple are reflections of the socio-cultural activities connected with cultural history.
Citizenship and Postcolonialism: Interdisciplinary Reflections on Filipino Americans and their Pursuit of the American Dream
Authors: Manalang Aprilfaye
Published: June 2023

This essay seeks to situate discussions of seminal Filipino intellectual Carlos Bulosan's (1946) America Is in the Heart, an early twentieth century autobiographical novel, within the literary trope of the “American dream,” and trace the themes present in his work within contemporary recorded experiences, or in this case, contemporary twenty-first century interviews: in-depth qualitative interviews and personal testimonies of Filipino American citizens. I will highlight the historical and ongoing ethos that Asian American immigrants face with respect to their citizenship, their relationship to the host-nation, or specifically the United States, and the sacrifices that have accompanied attempts of attaining the American dream.

The US formally colonized the Philippines during the early twentieth century, a historical relationship that complicates this inquiry. Given the postcolonial dynamic, or that the Philippines is the only Asian country that the United States colonized on a clearly public policy level, how might this historical relation of power shape postcolonial citizenship? Moreover, how might Bulosan's understandings of citizenship connect with Filipino Americans’ notions of the American dream in the early twenty-first century? By reflecting through an interdisciplinary approach, I directly place into conversation a seminal Filipino American thinker from the twentieth century vis-à-vis Filipino Americans in the twenty-first century to interrogate notions of belonging and identity within the framework of the American dream.

STRATEGI LAYANAN BIMBINGAN KLASIKAL BLENDED LEARNING BERBASIS PROJECT BASED LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SELF REGULATED LEARNING SISWA
Authors: Heriyanti Indah Pratiwi , Bhakti Caraka Putra
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview and alternative strategies that can be used by counselors or guidance and counseling services in providing independent learning. Learning is a basic obligation and need for all students. Many phenomena that describe students do not know the learning process in themselves. Because there is no self-regulation in the learning process. Self-regulated learning is the ability of students to regulate and manage the learning process such as planning, monitoring, participating, and actively participating in learning. In fact, many students have low self-regulated learning. So it needs the efforts of guidance and counseling teachers to provide services regarding independent learning. Classical guidance services provide facilities and infrastructure to create an independent learning environment. However, classical guidance services are still less effective due to lack of creativity and innovation. So we need an alternative learning that is blended learning. Blended learning is a combination of traditional learning with face-to-face learning. to increase self-regulated learning, it is necessary to learn that causes active participation from students. Project-Based Learning is learning that is carried out in project activities. Based on many studies, project-based learning can improve self-learning ability. So it is hoped that guidance and counseling can provide creative and innovative guidance and counseling services to improve independent learning.

This article investigates the underlying sociocultural mechanisms of this relationship. It compares two mountainous villages in Serbia that were depopulated during modernization of Yugoslavia and included in hydropower investment schemes during the current energy transition yet ended up within different models of development and contrasting articulations of emptiness. In Rakita, emptiness takes the form of yearning for defective or absent infrastructure and serves as an asset in extractive projects. In Dojkinci, rural tourism has emerged as an alternative to extractivism. While both local communities and institutions take it as the last hope for depopulated but naturally exceptional localities, tourism brings commodification and increasing social differentiations.
Whose death, whose eco-revival?
Authors: Rajković Ivan
Published: June 2023

When environmental activists in Serbia encountered decarbonization in form of predatory hydropower, they launched a massive campaign against an actual degrowth that plagued their depopulating lands. This bridging of environmental and reproductive concerns helped to create a broad ecopopulist alliance that saved the local rivers, and yet it sneaked in another quasi-universalist subject—urban, middle-aged, and male—who assumed a central role in the countryside eco-revival. As they “bring life back” to the “dying” Balkan Mountains, I argue, revivers also erase the ways of life that still thrive in their aging abodes. Such duality reveals emptiness as a problem space that is necropolitical inasmuch as it is vitalist. To direct the further flow of life means to decide who can survive—and who is anyhow destined to expire.
Constitutional Approaches to Decentralization: Elements, Challenges and Implications. Fourth Women Constitution-Makers’ Dialogue, 2022

Whether decentralization, and particularly devolution and federalism, is advantageous or disadvantageous for women is a long-debated issue. The effectiveness of decentralization in promoting gender equality depends on how the system is designed, the quality of implementation planning and the adequacy of resources. Decentralization processes, nevertheless, are particularly fertile ground for enhanced and systematic women’s engagement, with numerous avenues for mobilization and advocacy throughout the long period of interpretation, implementation and enforcement, which can be harnessed by women to shape what decentralization will look like in practical terms. The Fourth Women Constitution-Makers’ Dialogue focused on decentralization from a technical and empirical perspective to support women constitution-makers engaged in constitution-building processes and constitutional implementation through knowledge transfer and comparative experience sharing.

Coconut water has been traditionally used as a fever medicine by the Minangkabau people in Indonesia since ancient times, but the chemical or probiotic components have not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to isolate and molecularly identify the probiotics found in coconut water, as well as to analyze their antimicrobial and antioxidant abilities. The Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolation was conducted by applying MRSA + CaCO3 with a concentration of 0.5%, and the molecular identification used the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. Meanwhile, morphological and physiological identifications were also carried out with biochemical tests. The agar diffusion method was used to analyantimicrobialsial by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone. The results showed that 97 isolates were lactic acid bacteria, while morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests showed Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus sp 1, Pediococcus sp 2, Pediococcus sp 3, and Pediococcus sp 4, as well as two species of fungi such as Candida sp and Rizhopus. The molecular identification showed that Enterococcus faecalis strain 2358 can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, coconut water can be traditionally used to treat fever medicine because it contains probiotics and antimicrobial properties
On the Language Preferences of Chinese Leaders

For centuries. attention to language problems in China has been paid at the highest level. In his speech at the 20th CPC Congress, Xi Jinping mentioned the promotion of the “all-national language and script”, i.e. Standard Mandarin and Chinese characters, as an important part of the language policy. Propaganda of traditional culture and preservation of ancient written texts is another important task in modern China. It is not by chance that soon after the 20th Congress, Xi Jinping visited Yinxu, a museum-park on the site of the second capital of the Shang-Yin dynasty, where the oldest jiaguwen character inscriptions had been discovered at the end of the 19th century. In the epoch of the revival of philological traditions, Xi Jinping’s signature in his own calligraphic version with the traditional character 習xí is widely used in Chinese propaganda. Soon after the 20th Congress, the importance of the popularization of the Chinese language and culture outside the country was discussed in Xi Jinping’s letter sent to a group of students from Saudi Arabia. As for the romanization system Hanyu Pinyin, introduced in the PRC in 1958, in the official documents it is positioned as an auxiliary device used in the primary education in China, when writing Chinese words in the texts in foreign languages and in the process of teaching Chinese to foreigners or not mentioned at all. The status of the Hanyu Pinyin system in modern China is incomparable with the status of the ancient Chinese characters.

The article examines the content and driving forces of the "Made in China — 2025" Plan adopted by the State Council of the People's Republic of China in 2015, also examines the key objectives of the Plan and the main factors influencing its implementation, reveals the spheres and stages of development of the technological base of Chinese industry. The current state of participation of Chinese military-industrial corporations in the "Made in China — 2025" Plan is outlined, examples of specific achievements of Chinese industrial and technological leaders in competition with developed countries in international markets are given. The article provides evidence that the civil-military integration conducted under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2010-2016 led to the acceleration of technological development of both the civil and defense industries of the PRC, and became an important impetus for the development of industrial production in China. The features of the the Plan in ten main areas are studied, such as robotics, aerospace and shipbuilding, information technology, rail transport, industries related to energy conservation, biotechnology, medicine, etc. We also offer an analytical study of the reasons for the results achieved by Chinese corporations in the modern period, as well as opportunities for further growth. In addition, the article discloses the issues of competition between Chinese manufacturers and American companies, the implementation of sanctions by Americans against Chinese corporations, as well as big differences in approaches to cooperation with China in Russia and the United States. The article estimates the prospects for China's global industrial and technological leadership and concludes that Chinese industrialists will highly likely fulfill the tasks of the "Made in China — 2025" Plan.
