Analysis of the Appealing Structure in Hemingway’s“A Clean,Well-lighted Place”

In the novel“A Clean,Well-lighted Place”,Hemingway tells the story of two waiters in a Spanish caféjust before closing time,talking about an old man who drank heavily in the caféevery night and lived a wealthy life but still wants to commit suicide.Using the iceberg principle,Hemingway purposely omits the plot,characterization of the story,and uses symbolism and repetition to describe people’s different attitudes facing the spiritual emptiness after the war,breaking the readers’expectations,and inspiring them to explore the meaning of individual life.Therefore,based on Wolfgang Iser and Zhu Liyuan’s appealing structure theory,this paper will analyze the appealing structure in“A Clean,Well-lighted Place”at three levels:meaning construction,rhetorical techniques,and thoughts and themes.It is hoped that readers can find a new way to interpret the short story,better understand the author’s creative ideas and dig deeper into the connotation of the work.

Head-mounted display-based intuitive virtual reality training system for the mining industry

Virtual reality(VR) training technology in the mining industry is a new field of research and utilization.The successful application of VR training system is critical to mine safety and production. Through the statistics of the current research and applications of VR training systems in mining industry, all the input/output devices are classified. Based on the classifications of the input/output devices that are used in the VR system, the current VR training systems for the mining industry could be divided into three types: screen-based general type, projector-based customized type, and head-mounted display(HMD)-based intuitive type. By employing a VR headset, a smartphone and a leap motion device, an HMDbased intuitive type VR training system prototype for drilling in underground mines has been developed.Ten trainees tried both the HMD-based intuitive system and the screen-based general control system to compare the experiences and training effects. The results show that the HMD-based system can give a much better user experience and is easy to use. Three of the five components of a VR training system,namely, the user, the tasks, and software and database should be given more attention in future research.With more available technologies of input and output devices, VR engines, and system software, the VR training system will eventually yield much better training results, and will play a more important role in as a training tool for mine safety.

A Study on Computer Consciousness on Intuitive Geometry Based on Mathematics Experiments and Statistical Analysis

In this paper, we present our research on building computing machines consciousness about intuitive geometry based on mathematics experiments and statistical inference. The investigation consists of the following five steps. At first, we select a set of geometric configurations and for each configuration we construct a large amount of geometric data as observation data using dynamic geometry programs together with the pseudo-random number generator. Secondly, we refer to the geometric predicates in the algebraic method of machine proof of geometric theorems to construct statistics suitable for measuring the approximate geometric relationships in the observation data. In the third step, we propose a geometric relationship detection method based on the similarity of data distribution, where the search space has been reduced into small batches of data by pre-searching for efficiency, and the hypothetical test of the possible geometric relationships in the search results has be performed. In the fourth step, we explore the integer relation of the line segment lengths in the geometric configuration in addition. At the final step, we do numerical experiments for the pre-selected geometric configurations to verify the effectiveness of our method. The results show that computer equipped with the above procedures can find out the hidden geometric relations from the randomly generated data of related geometric configurations, and in this sense, computing machines can actually attain certain consciousness of intuitive geometry as early civilized humans in ancient Mesopotamia.

Assessing Evidence of Validity for the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 among Adult Latina Women

Introduction/Background: No research has been conducted on the relevance of intuitive eating as a promising strategy for sustainable weight management among Latinas. This study translated Tylka and Kroon Van Diest’s (2013) Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2) into Spanish and employed an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to examine evidence of validity. Methods: We recruited Latinas from community venues in South San Diego, California to participate in this cross-sectional study. Inclusion criteria were: at least 18 years of age, monolingual Spanish or bilingual English/Spanish speaker, and self-identified Latina. In total, 150 Latinas completed a structured, face-to-face interview, which included the Spanish IES-2. Data were used in conducting an EFA. Results: Four items were removed for not loading on the initial EFA. Once items were removed, we extracted five factors with Eigenvalues greater than 1, which accounted for almost two-thirds of the variance. Of the four original IES-2 factors, two were retained identically: Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues (RHSC) and Body-Food Choice Congruence (B-FCC). The Eating for Physical Rather than Emotional Reasons (EPR) subscale lost one item in the initial EFA, and was not unidimensional, resulting in two separate subscales. Evidence of score reliability was marginal to strong (α = 0.63 - 0.87). Discussion: This study is first to provide evidence of validity and reliability for a Spanish translation of the IES-2. The results suggest that the proposed Spanish IES-2 can be used to study intuitive eating behaviors and attitudes among Latinas. However, further research with larger sample sizes and other diverse populations are suggested.

Area inside a Circle: Intuitive and Rigorous Proofs

In this article I conduct a short review of the proofs of the area inside a circle. These include intuitive as well as rigorous analytic proofs. This discussion is important not just from mathematical view point but also because pedagogically the calculus books still use circular reasoning today to prove the area inside a circle (also that of an ellipse) on this important historical topic, first illustrated by Archimedes. I offer an innovative approach through the introduction of a theorem, which will lead to proving the area inside a circle avoiding circular argumentation.

The cognitive and neural mechanisms of intuitive prosocial behavior

In current study,we investigated the psychological mechanism and dynamic neural activity during prosocial decision-making by using behavioral measure and electroencephalogram.Specifically,our aim was to investigate the effect of empathy in promoting prosocial decision.We used the Chinese version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index scale(C-IRI)and 11 emotional vocabularies to measure participants'trait empathy and state empathy respectively.In experiment 1,we aimed at identifying the neural activity involved in intuitive prosocial behavior using event related potentials(ERPs).The results showed that empathy is an important factor to promote intuitive prosocial choices.The associa tions between trait empathy and intuitive prosocial behavior are complex and multifaceted,prone to shifting according to the urgency of situations.T hese findings suggest that empathy and related emotional reactions has a vital role in motivating helping behavior,and that reflection can undermine this emotional impulse.

Image Retrieval Approach Based on Intuitive Fuzzy Set Combined with Genetic Algorithm

Aiming at shortcomings of traditional image retrieval systems, a new image retrieval approach based on color features of image combining intuitive fuzzy theory with genetic algorithm is proposed. Each image is segmented into a constant number of sub-images in vertical direction. Color features are extracted from every sub-image to get chromosome coding. It is considered that fuzzy membership and intuitive fuzzy hesitancy degree of every pixel's color in image are associated to all the color histogram bins. Certain feature, fuzzy feature and intuitive fuzzy feature of colors in an image, are used together to describe the content of image. Efficient combinations of sub-image are selected according to operation of selecting, crossing and variation. Retrieval results are obtained from image matching based on these color feature combinations of sub-images. Tests show that this approach can improve the accuracy of image retrieval in the case of not decreasing the speed of image retrieval. Its mean precision is above 80%.

Information visualization,physicality and intuitive use for tangible user interfaces

In the last two decades,tangible user interfaces(TUIs) have emerged as a new interface type that interlinks the digital and physical worlds.TUIs show a potential to enhance the way in which people interact with digital information.First,this paper examines the existing body of work on tangible user interfaces and discusses their application domains,especially information visualization.Then it provides a definition of intuitive use and reviews formerly separated ideas on physicality.As interaction has an impact on the overall product experience,we also discuss whether intuitive use influences the users' aesthetic judgements of such products.

刑事申诉审查制度改革研究

刑事申诉案件的审查是非常重要的特别救济程序,但我国法律一直没有将这一审查活动纳入诉讼程序的轨道,相关规定散见于司法解释和规范性文件中。目前我国的刑事申诉审查存在审查主体多元化、审查内容和程序不完善、配套制度作用发挥不到位等问题,因此,需要对刑事申诉审查制度进行改革探索,取消法院审查主体地位,在检察机关内部设立相对独立的刑事申诉案件审查委员会对申诉案件进行实质性审查;区分形式审查和实质审查,构建刑事申诉审查程序;完善律师代理刑事申诉制度,规范刑事申诉案件异地审查制度,提高刑事申诉审查质效,并逐步将其确立为正式的刑事诉讼制度,推动刑事诉讼立法的发展。

应用伦理学中的原则伦理

在应用伦理学中原则主义展现了如何将伦理应用到具体实践的一条进路。不同于诉诸一种基于某一最高原理并拥有普遍适用性的道德系统的演绎论,也不同于依赖以感知判断为基础的类比性评价的决疑论,原则伦理者寻求处于抽象的道德理论与具体的道德实践之间的所谓中位原则,为人们应对伦理冲突提供价值基准与论证依据的规范性导向框架。如果说不伤害、有利、公正、自主性属于比较经典的伦理原则的话,那么人权、尊严、隐私、责任则属于新近出现的并得到广泛认可的伦理原则。应用伦理学中的中位原则具有不证自明的品格,其实质根基便是人类的道德直觉。这些原则之间处于协调的融贯关系,其内容在实践中需得到具体化的解释和依情境的灵活权重。

突出流行性还是稀缺性?——地理标志农产品地区典型性与广告诉求方式的匹配效应研究

地理标志农产品的本质特征在于产品与产地的关联性,但不同的地理标志农产品,消费者对其产品与产地关系的联想即地区典型性存有差异。针对地区典型性不同的地理标志农产品,如何采用配套的广告诉求方式以提升品牌传播的有效性?为此,本研究将地区典型性与广告诉求方式相匹配探究其对消费者态度的影响,以及这一影响发生的内在机制与边界条件。四个实验结果表明,当地理标志农产品的地区典型性高时,采用流行性诉求更能引发消费者对产品的积极态度,感知可靠性在其中起中介作用;当地理标志农产品的地区典型性低时,采用稀缺性诉求更能引发消费者对产品的积极态度,感知独特性在其中起中介作用。此外,产品属性在地区典型性与广告诉求方式对消费者产品态度的交互作用中起调节作用,高地区典型性与流行性诉求对消费者产品态度的交互作用在实用性属性下更显著,低地区典型性与稀缺性诉求对消费者产品态度的交互作用在享乐性属性下更显著。本研究为地理标志农产品消费行为研究提供了新的视角,同时对提升地理标志品牌价值及促进地理标志产业均衡发展具有实践意义。

不起诉权行使的负反馈调节——对不服不起诉申诉案件的反向审视

不起诉权“隐性扩张”后引发不起诉案件数量与不起诉率“双升”,不服不起诉申诉案件数量随之增加。不起诉权运行的合理调试需要进行视角转换,既要关注不起诉决定作出前的法律适用过程以及不起诉率等静态指标,也要关注不起诉决定作出后的运行反馈情况,化解不服不起诉申诉案件引发的社会矛盾。不起诉权合理运行过程需要明晰裁量标准,完善证据审查体系、顺畅运行衔接机制、以释法说理强化当事人诉讼参与程度、运用多元机制化解矛盾纠纷,破除上述障碍才能确保不起诉权合理高效运行。
