Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Emigration ist ein sehr altes und weit verbreitetes Phänomen der chinesischen Gesellschaft. Sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch zahlenmäßig starke chinesische Minderheiten von Südostasien bis nach Nordamerika legen davon beredtes Zeugnis ab. Migrationsströme und chinesische Gemeinschaften innerhalb Asiens oder in den USA waren und sind Gegenstand zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Anlässlich des 30. Jahrestages der Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Volksrepublik China soll an dieser Stelle jedoch mit der vorliegenden Fallstudie Deutschland das Augenmerk auf ein bisher weitgehend unbekanntes Kapitel der chinesischen Emigration gerichtet werden.

description: Key Findings -Between 167,000 and 300,000 hectares of forest are lost every year in Zambia, and different polices are in place or have been proposed to contain forest loss. -Agriculture land expansion is one of the major drivers of deforestation, yet increasing agricultural production is necessary to feed a growing population and meet changing diets. -This paper assesses the extent of cropland expansion among smallholder farmers and whether or not climate smart agriculture (CSA) can help reduce expansion and deforestation. -About 21 percent of rural farm households interviewed in RALS 2019 expanded cropland between the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 farming seasons, clearing on average 0.18 ha, but only 13 percent of rural smallholders expanded their cropland into forests, clearing an average of 0.10 ha of forestland per household. -Smallholder cropland expansion into forests represents about 60 percent of the average 250,000 ha of forests lost per year in Zambia. -Most households expanded cropland because of the need to meet subsistence food needs and a few others in response to market opportunities. -Much of the cropland expansion among smallholder farmers is concentrated in Luapula, Muchinga, Northern, North-Western, and Western provinces. -Using CSA had no statistically significant effects on cropland expansion in our sample, indicating that CSA alone might not avert expansion-led deforestation. -Thus, CSA-led intensification alone might not reduce deforestation unless if complemented with improved forest management policies.

Dreißig Jahre China-Analyse

Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Es war durchaus kein historischer Zufall, dass die Aufnahme der diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Volksrepublik China in das selbe Jahr fiel wie die Gründung der Zeitschrift China aktuell. Rund sieben Monate, nachdem im März 1972 die erste Ausgabe der Monatszeitschrift des Hamburger Instituts für Asienkunde in Druck gegangen war, unterzeichneten die Außenminister der beiden Länder am 11. Oktober 1972 das „Gemeinsame Kommunique über die Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen Bonn und Peking“. Diese enge zeitliche Nachbarschaft war nicht etwa, wie man nun vermuten könnte, auf eine „Geheimachse“ Bonn - Beijing - Hamburg zurückzuführen. Sie lässt sich vielmehr vor dem Hintergrund jener allgemeinen Aufbruchstimmung in den Beziehungen zwischen der Volksrepublik und den westlichen Staaten erklären, die durch die Begegnung des US-amerikanischen Präsidenten Nixon mit dem „Großen Vorsitzenden“ Mao im Februar 1972 unvermittelt entstanden war.

title: Re-legitimising Painting in Tashkent, Uzbekistan after the Fall of the Soviet Union (1991-2004)
Creators: name: Okada, Kochi
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: With the Soviet Union's fall, the overarching Soviet institution, the Union of Artists of the USSR, also collapsed. This institution had been solely responsible for the production, consumption and circulation of arts, and for regulating subordinate Republican Unions of Arts. Each national Union was now independent; later, these too, were supplanted by several different institutions and social domains that affected the production and consumption of painting in the post-Soviet era. The newly diffuse means of validating painting provokes the central questions of this dissertation: what are the new criteria for the economic, moral, and social valuation of artists and their work in different contexts, and what do these changes tell us about broader social changes in the city? In order to explore the changed environment in which artists now work, I present five ethnographic case-studies of post-Soviet arts in Tashkent (1991-2004) that illustrate changing understandings and practices of authority, state legitimisation, labour, production and consumption of arts, and gender. Each case study examines an institution or social domain that has re-emerged in slightly changed form or content after 1991. These five new social 'configurations' are: the independent state's commissioning system, the illegal art market conducted in foreign currency, the traditional mahalla neighbourhoods of Tashkent, the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Besh-Agach mosque. With the Union of Artists' authority ended, I examine the process of developing legitimisation in each of the emerging social configurations using the insights from Weber's typology of authority. I emphasise the importance of arts to legitimise both the Soviet and the post-Soviet states. I consider the effect of the commodification of paintings on the idea in the Soviet period that an artist was a living embodiment of his work's moral, economic and social values - and how in some areas this connection between the person of the painter and the value of the product endures in different forms.
Why not exactly? Revisiting the alleged arguments against the artistic sublime in Kant's “critique of the aesthetic power of Judgment”

description: The debate about whether, according to Kant, there can be an artistic sublime often fails to clarify the relationship of the “Analytic of the Sublime” to the “Analytic of the Beautiful” and to the short discourse on art of the Critique of the Power of Judgment (KU, § 43 to § 59). Therefore, three types of arguments are often conflated, which I would like to propose to distinguish as precisely as possible: 1. Arguments that cast doubt on the possibility of aesthetic judgments with respect to works of art in general; 2. arguments that specifically put into question the experience of the beautiful in the arts; 3. Arguments questioning the artistic sublime. Kant addresses the first two types of arguments in his ingenious argumentation of why we can experience works of art as beautiful at all. However, they are often readily understood as arguments against the possibility of an artistic sublime, which Kant, however, hardly discusses as such. By distinguishing these types of arguments, I want to pinpoint what exactly, according to Kant, stood in the way of the possibil-ity of an artistic sublime – and to explore the possibility of artistic strategies to overcome these obstacles.
title: The discourse in early digital type design technologies
Creators: name: Ulrich, Ferdinand P.
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is concerned with the development of digital type design technologies and the discourse around them through new environments during a period of 
radical change and transition in the type manufacturing industry. It maps the 
emergence of a new field by exploring environments of discourse such as trade 
associations, academic institutions and the publication landscape, established 
as a response to new communities and identifies them as catalysts of change. The 
research considers different numerical models of letterform description devised 
through academic research, corporate research and commercial endeavours 
during a phase of type manufacturing that spans from the zenith of phototype setting to the introduction of office-based laserprinting, covering most of the 1970s 
and 1980s. 
A particular event, identified as a highpoint in this discourse and as a main 
catalyst of change, is the Association Typographique Internationale’s working 
seminar hosted at Stanford University in the summer of 1983. It marks a focus point 
in these discussions during a period of several linear and concurrent developments, 
and it reflects issues that maintained their relevance after the introduction of the 
digital PostScript format, which followed the period surveyed in this thesis. 
Although more than a dozen digital type design systems were developed by 1983, 
this study is particularly concerned with five systems considered for presentation at 
the Stanford working seminar. While some of these systems found no particular 
use, others had some commercial success or even became well established among 
an international list of type manufacturers. All five encapsulate the relevant issues 
discussed at Stanford; from a research standpoint they are equally significant in 
providing information on the challenges type designers faced at the time. 
As this research investigates a relatively short and recent period, it is characterised by a lack of certain archival material. In addition to a handful of academic 
archives, this thesis heavily draws on primary source material, on records and 
artefacts from personal collections, on oral history as a method to record the voices 
of contemporary witnesses, and uses these sources as an opportunity to discover 
hidden figures that have been overlooked in the past. 
This thesis explores debated issues such as maintaining standards, while 
introducing new ones; shared responsibilities, collaborations as well as conflicts 
between designers and engineers; challenges and opportunities for established 
manufacturers versus an emerging generation of independent designers; as well 
as implications that new technologies had on the essentials of designing and 
digitizing type, from learning new terminology to measuring quality, dealing with 
compatibility and the introduction of automated and parametric design.

description: Quasars, powered by supermassive black holes (SMBH), are among the brightest objects in the universe. In the vicinity of an SMBH, X-ray photons from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) can heat the surrounding gas to several hundred kelvin. Here we report observations of dust continuum and CO J=13-12 and J=14-13 line emissions at a resolution of 130 parsecs in a luminous quasar at z=6. We successfully detected these high-J CO line emissions from warm gas in a compact disk component. The CO luminosity ratio in the central region of the compact disk is consistent with theoretical models in which X-ray heating dominates the CO excitation and the gas column density is as high as 10$^{25}$ cm$^{-2}$. This demonstrates that high-resolution observations of high-J CO lines are promising ways to identify extremely dust-obscured quasars in the early universe.

description: Fusion experiments still show discrepancies in heat flux from expected results calculated from theory and computation; calculations come up short. As needed, work continues in solving the source of these discrepancies. This thesis seeks to provide part of the answer via electron-temperature-gradient (ETG) fluctuations in the pedestal region of tokamaks, investigated with the Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic Numerical Experiment (GENE). While ETG turbulence is sometimes ignored, as it is very small scale, there may be mechanisms that make it a viable explanation of these discrepancies. In this work, we find a non-negligible heat transport from ETG turbulence in the presence of streamers. Additionally, we find a relation between flux, streamers, and velocity shear. Further analysis is required to confirm these findings, but as it stands, this thesis lays the groundwork

description: Τα αγροτικά ζώα αποτελούν σημαντική πηγή τροφίμων για τον άνθρωπο, έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί ευρύτατα σε γεωργικές εργασίες και έχουν αποτελέσει ζωικά μοντέλα για διάφορες βιοϊατρικές έρευνες. Λόγω της μεγάλης ανάγκης που υπάρχει προκειμένου να αυξηθεί η γεωργική παραγωγή, έχουν δημιουργηθεί και εφαρμοστεί νέες καινοτόμες τεχνικές αναπαραγωγής των αγροτικών ζώων ώστε να αυξηθεί η πρόσβαση σε θρεπτικά τρόφιμα παγκοσμίως. Το σύστημα CRISPR/Cas9 (ομαδοποιημένες τακτικά διακεκομμένες σύντομες παλινδρομικές επαναλήψεις/Συνδεόμενη με CRISPR πρωτεΐνη9) αποτελεί το κύριο εργαλείο γονιδιακής επεξεργασίας όπου έχει την δυνατότητα να εισάγει αποτελεσματικά προκαθορισμένες τροποποιήσεις, στο γονιδίωμα του χοίρου. Οι τροποποιήσεις αυτές μπορούν να προσδώσουν επιθυμητούς φαινότυπους στα αγροτικά ζώα για τη βελτίωση των παραγωγικών χαρακτηριστικών, όπως είναι πχ η βέλτιστη παραγωγή κρέατος, η ενισχυμένη πεπτικότητα της τροφής και η αντοχή στις ασθένειες. Η στοχευόμενη διαταραχή της μυοστατίνης στους χοίρους για παράδειγμα έχει ως αποτέλεσμα την καλύτερη απόδοση τροφής, ρυθμό ανάπτυξης καθώς και υψηλότερη μυϊκή μάζα. Θα μπορούσε να επιτρέψει βελτιώσεις στην προσαρμογή στην κλιματική αλλαγή, στην απόδοση και την αντοχή στα παράσιτα καθώς και τις βιομηχανικές και φαρμακευτικές εφαρμογές. Έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί για την αύξηση της αντοχής σε ασθένειες, για την καλύτερη προσαρμογή των ζώων στη γεωργία ή τις περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες, για την αύξηση της γονιμότητας και της ανάπτυξης όπως και για τη βελτίωση της καλής διαβίωσης των ζώων.
description: Farm animals are an important food source for humans, have been widely used in agricultural work, and have been animal models for various biomedical research. Because of the great need to increase agricultural production, new innovative techniques for breeding farm animals have been created and implemented to increase access to nutritious food worldwide. The CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short inverted repeats/CRISPR-associated protein9) system is the main gene editing tool where it has the ability to efficiently introduce predetermined modifications into the pig genome. These modifications can impart desirable phenotypes to farm animals to improve production traits such as optimal meat production, enhanced feed digestibility and disease resistance. Targeted disruption of myostatin in pigs for example results in better feed efficiency, growth rate as well as higher muscle mass. It could enable improvements in climate change adaptation, yield and pest resistance as well as industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It has been used to increase disease resistance, to better adapt animals to agricultural or environmental conditions, to increase fertility and growth as well as to improve animal welfare.

Zwar betrieb das deutsche Kaiserreich eine durch kolonialistische Ambitionen und Militäraktionen geprägte Chinapolitik (1897/98 militärisch erzwungene Errichtung des deutschen „Pachtgebietes“ Kiautschou/Tsingtao in Ostchina sowie blutige Militärexpeditionen im Kontext des „Boxeraufstandes“ 1899- 1901).

Eine wachsende Zahl von Mikrostudien zeigt, dass die teilnehmenden Migranten alle weltweit für das Phänomen der Arbeitsmigration typischen Charakteristika zeigen - Alter zwischen 16 und 35 Jahren, am Durchschnitt der Herkunftsregion gemessen höherer Bildungsgrad, in der Mehrzahl unverheiratet und männlich. Die Migration selbst erreichte innerhalb ihres de jure nach wie vor informellen Bezugsrahmens inzwischen einen sehr hohen Organisationsgrad. Mit der fortschreitenden Selbstorganisati- on der Migranten lebten hier auch alte Traditionen wieder auf, die während einiger Jahrzehnte, wenn nicht unterbrochen, so doch von geringerer Bedeutung waren.

description: Mental health issues among college students have reached critical levels, significantly impacting academic performance and overall wellbeing. Predicting and understanding mental health status among college students is challenging due to three main factors: the necessity for large-scale longitudinal datasets, the prevalence of black-box machine learning models lacking transparency, and the tendency of existing approaches to provide aggregated insights at the population level rather than individualized understanding.
 To tackle these challenges, this paper presents I-HOPE, the first Interpretable Hierarchical mOdel for Personalized mEntal health prediction. I-HOPE is a two-stage hierarchical model, validated on the College Experience Study, the longest longitudinal mobile sensing dataset. This dataset spans five years and captures data from both pre-pandemic periods and the COVID-19 pandemic. I-HOPE connects raw behavioral features to mental health status through five defined behavioral categories as interaction labels. This approach achieves a prediction accuracy of 91%, significantly surpassing the 60-70% accuracy of baseline methods. In addition, our model distills complex patterns into interpretable and individualized insights, enabling the future development of tailored interventions and improving mental health support. The code is available at https://github.com/roycmeghna/I-HOPE.

Dieser Prozess der Rechtsreformen orientierte sich zum einen stark an ausländischen (westlichen) Rechtsordnungen als Vorbildern; zum anderen hatten westliche Staaten durch Rechtsberatung im Rahmen der zwischenstaatlichen Technischen Zusammenarbeit (TZ) einen direkten Einfluss auf die Gestaltung der innerstaatlichen chinesischen Rechtsordnung, sodass mit diesen Rechtsberatungsmaßnahmen immer auch ein „Export“ von Rechtsnormen und Rechtsgedanken verbunden ist.

title: Building a Creative Persona - Jobs, Markets and Exclusion in Organisations
Creators: name: Nugent, Emma
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2004

description: This thesis is an investigation of the following question: How is talent recognised in companies that see themselves as creative? Recent sociological debates about the culture industries suggest new kinds of work and work organisation, emphasising enculturation and fragmentation. They draw attention to increasingly individualised responsibility for trajectories and the significance of individual subjectivities in creative careers. My analysis draws on ethnographic data (participant observation and interviews) gathered in the London-based digital division of an international publishing company. I follow eight people, as they attempt to generate careers in the turbulent context of work in new media. I argue that, to be successful in this setting, workers had to build a creative persona. This involved adopting creativity, self-selling, passion and flexibility as elements of an individual subjectivity. However, applying the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, I seek to reassert the importance of organisations in this field and the relevance of class fractions particularly the 'new' bourgeoisie. I explore how the process of building a creative persona relies on managerial structures. I argue that creativity works to achieve and legitimate a specific kind of managerial authority rather than relating to aesthetic output. I show that in 'service' or 'support' positions, workers are effectively 'trapped' despite the apparently open and flexible working environment. The thesis is a structural analysis, within a setting that exhibits encuIturation and fragmentation. Organisational hierarchies are generated using cultural references (attributed to personalities and markets). Importantly I reveal that the labour process and market definitions work together as inclusionary and exclusionary mechanisms. By interrogating 'natural' talent in this setting I explain how the valuation of authenticity in web work contributes to the reproduction of class, gender and 'racial' differences, specifically in ways that support the 'new' bourgeoisie. I conclude my thesis by discussing how my findings impact on theories of creativity, institutional exclusion, as well as theories of the 'new' bourgeoisie. Finally I identify and explore a kind of racism without hate which is connected to the way that I theorise an en cultured organisation.

description: Due to numerous hardware shortcomings, medical image acquisition devices are susceptible to producing low-quality (i.e., low contrast, inappropriate brightness, noisy, etc.) images. Regrettably, perceptually degraded images directly impact the diagnosis process and make the decision-making manoeuvre of medical practitioners notably complicated. This study proposes to enhance such low-quality images by incorporating end-to-end learning strategies for accelerating medical image analysis tasks. To the best concern, this is the first work in medical imaging which comprehensively tackles perceptual enhancement, including contrast correction, luminance correction, denoising, etc., with a fully convolutional deep network. The proposed network leverages residual blocks and a residual gating mechanism for diminishing visual artefacts and is guided by a multi-term objective function to perceive the perceptually plausible enhanced images. The practicability of the deep medical image enhancement method has been extensively investigated with sophisticated experiments. The experimental outcomes illustrate that the proposed method could outperform the existing enhancement methods for different medical image modalities by 5.00 to 7.00 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) metrics and 4.00 to 6.00 in DeltaE metrics. Additionally, the proposed method can drastically improve the medical image analysis tasks' performance and reveal the potentiality of such an enhancement method in real-world applications.

description: Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS)-G12C inhibition causes remodeling of the lung tumor immune microenvironment and synergistic responses to anti-PD-1 treatment, but only in T cell infiltrated tumors. To investigate mechanisms that restrain combination immunotherapy sensitivity in immune-excluded tumors, we used imaging mass cytometry to explore cellular distribution in an immune-evasive KRAS mutant lung cancer model. Cellular spatial pattern characterization revealed a community where CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and dendritic cells were gathered, suggesting localized T cell activation. KRAS-G12C inhibition led to increased PD-1 expression, proliferation, and cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells, and CXCL9 expression by dendritic cells, indicating an effector response. However, suppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) were also found in frequent contact with effector T cells within this community. Lung adenocarcinoma clinical samples showed similar communities. Depleting Tregs led to enhanced tumor control in combination with anti-PD-1 and KRAS-G12C inhibitor. Combining Treg depletion with KRAS inhibition shows therapeutic potential for increasing antitumoral immune responses.

description: The high-frequency radio sky is bursting with synchrotron transients from massive stellar explosions and accretion events, but the low-frequency radio sky has so far been quiet beyond the Galactic pulsar population and the long-term scintillation of AGN. The low-frequency band, however, is sensitive to exotic coherent and polarised radio emission processes such as electron cyclotron maser emission from flaring M-dwarfs [1], stellar magnetospheric plasma interactions with exoplanets [2], and a population of steep-spectrum pulsars [3], making Galactic plane searches a prospect for blind transient discovery. Here we report an analysis of archival low-frequency radio data that reveals a periodic, low-frequency radio transient. We find that the source pulses every 18.18 minutes, an unusual periodicity not previously observed. The emission is highly linearly polarised, bright, persists for 30--60 s on each occurrence, and is visible across a broad frequency range. At times the pulses comprise short ($<0.5$-s) duration bursts; at others, a smoother profile is observed. These profiles evolve on timescales of hours. By measuring the dispersion of the radio pulses with respect to frequency, we have localised the source to within our own Galaxy, and suggest that it could be an ultra-long period magnetar.

description: Recently several long-period radio transients have been discovered, with strongly polarised coherent radio pulses appearing on timescales between tens to thousands of seconds [1,2]. In some cases the radio pulses have been interpreted as coming from rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields, known as magnetars; the origin of other, occasionally periodic and less well-sampled radio transients, is still debated [3]. Coherent periodic radio emission is usually explained by rotating dipolar magnetic fields and pair production mechanisms, but such models do not easily predict radio emission from such slowly-rotating neutron stars and maintain it for extended times. On the other hand, highly magnetic isolated white dwarfs would be expected to have long spin periodicities, but periodic coherent radio emission has not yet been directly detected from these sources. Here we report observations of a long-period (21 minutes) radio transient, which we have labeled GPMJ1839-10. The pulses vary in brightness by two orders of magnitude, last between 30 and 300 seconds, and have quasi-periodic substructure. The observations prompted a search of radio archives, and we found that the source has been repeating since at least 1988. The archival data enabled constraint of the period derivative to $<3.6\times10^{-13}$s s$^{-1}$, which is at the very limit of any classical theoretical model that predicts dipolar radio emission from an isolated neutron star.

description: Inflation und Überhitzung der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung drohten sich 1988 zur ersten gesamtwirtschaftlichen Krise der Reformperiode auszuweiten. Die chinesische Regierung reagierte mit kurzfristigen Konsolidierungsmaßnahmen wie Einschränkungen der Kreditvergabe. Das Resultat waren die Einstellung von Bauvorhaben und eine Finanzierungskrise der ländlichen Industrie, was wiederum zu umfangreichen Entlassungen ländlicher Arbeiter führte.

description: At finite temperatures ($\geq 10^7$K), $^{76}$Se is abundant in the core of massive stars and electron capture on $^{76}$Se has a consequential role to play in the dynamics of core collapse. The present work may be classified into two main categories. In the first phase, we study the nuclear structure properties of $^{76}$Se using the interacting boson model-1 (IBM-1). The IBM-1 investigations include the energy levels, $B(E2)$ values, and the prediction of the geometry. We performed the extended consistent-Q formalism (ECQF) calculation and later the triaxial formalism calculation (constructed by adding the cubic term to the ECQF). The geometry of $^{76}$Se can be envisioned within the formalism of the potential energy surface based on the classical limit of the IBM-1 model.
 In the second phase, we reconfirm the unblocking of the Gamow-Teller (GT) strength in $^{76}$Se (a test case for nuclei having $N > 40$ and $Z < 40$). Using the deformed pn-QRPA model, we calculate GT transitions, stellar electron capture cross section (within the limit of low momentum transfer), and stellar weak rates for $^{76}$Se. The distinguishing feature of our calculation is a state-by-state evaluation of stellar weak rates in a fully microscopic fashion. Results are compared with experimental data and previous calculations. The calculated GT distribution fulfills the Ikeda sum rule. Rates for $β$-delayed neutrons and emission probabilities are also calculated. Our study suggests that at high stellar temperatures and low densities, the $β^+$-decay on $^{76}$Se should not be neglected and needs to be taken into consideration along with electron capture rates for simulation of presupernova evolution of massive stars.

description: Introduction Compliance on the requirements of labelling of dispensed medicine (LDM) among private primary health care facilities (PPHCF) were crucial in promoting appropriate use of medicines Objective This study aimed to examine the rate of compliance on the requirements of LDM among retail pharmacies (RPs) and private medical clinics (PMCs). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2019 to January 2020 across all inspected premises in Sarawak. Minimal sample size RPs and PMCs needed for this study were found to be 90 and 150 respectively Proportionate Stratified random sampling was employed to select premises. Publics who attended RPs and PMCs and having medicines dispensed, were consented to participate in the study upon exiting the premises. Only products sold or dispensed that are listed in the poison list in Poison Act 1952 were included, and those who refused to give out consent would be excluded from the study. Subsequently, the dispensed medicines of participants were examined for its compliance on the requirements of LDM, and recorded into self-developed data collection form. Compliance score was the percentage of LDM that fulfil the requirements under the Regulation 12 of Poisons Regulations 1952. Results A total of 414 LDM were examined, with 135 from RPs and 279 from PMCs [Table 1]. The median compliance score of PMCs significantly higher than RPs [Table 2]; the full compliance on the requirements of LDM among RPs and PMCs were 23.7% and 41.6%, respectively [Table 3]. The requirements of LDM with least compliance was labelling of medicine name (53.1%), followed by patient name (31.9%) and date of dispensing (25.6%) [Graph 4]. Among the LDM for external used preparations reviewed (n = 22), half of them were not labelled with “not to be taken” or “for external use”. Conclusion The full compliance rate on the requirements of LDM among RPs and PMCs were low. 2. More stringent enforcement inspections reviewing filled medicine envelope labels are necessary 3. Public education about their rights demands for fully complied LDM could be the solutions.

description: Crystal defects, whether intrinsic or engineered, drive many fundamental phenomena and novel functionalities of quantum materials. Here, we report symmetry-breaking phenomena induced by Sn-vacancy defects on the surface of epitaxial Kagome antiferromagnet FeSn films using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Near the Sn-vacancy defects, anisotropic quasiparticle interference patterns are observed in the differential conductance dI/dV maps, indicating two-fold electronic states that break the 6-fold rotational symmetry of the Kagome layer. Furthermore, the Sn-vacancy defects induce bound states that exhibit anomalous Zeeman shifts under an out-of-plane magnetic field, where their energy shifts linearly towards higher energy independent of the direction of the magnetic field. Under an in-plane magnetic field, the shift of the bound state energy also shows a two-fold oscillating behavior as a function of the azimuth angle. These findings demonstrate defect-enabled new functionalities in Kagome antiferromagnets for potential applications in nanoscale spintronic devices.

description: Am 10. März 1998 wurde anlässlich der ersten Jahrestagung des Nationalen Volkskongresses (NVK), auf der Zhu Rongji sein Amt als Ministerpräsident antrat, ein umfassendes Reformpaket beschlossen. Die „Strukturreform des Staatsrats“ (guowuyuan jigou gaige) von 1998 gilt als das vierte große Maßnahmenpaket zur Reorganisation der Regierungs- und Verwaltungsorgane nach 1982, 1988 und 1993 (Liu 2001). Mit den jüngsten Reformschritten werden eine Neuverteilung der Kompetenzen zwischen den Regierungsorganen, eine Trennung zwischen staatlicher Verwaltung und Unternehmensmanagement in der bislang staatlich dominierten Wirtschaft sowie eine organisatorische und personelle Verschlankung der Verwaltung bei gleichzeitiger Effizienzsteigerung angestrebt.
