Research on the evolutionary characteristics of interdisciplinary degree and intersections of library and information science:Based on the keywords coupling analysis of the National Social Science Fund Projects

From the perspective of the National Social Science Fund projects,this paper explored a new way to research on the interdisciplinarity,so as to improve the understanding of interdisciplinarity and its evolutionary characteristics in the domain of Library and Information Science(LIS).Based on the keywords extracted from the titles of the National Social Science Fund projects approved in the past ten years,this paper calculated the interdisciplinary degree and detected the intersections between LIS and other 22 disciplines by means of keywords coupling analysis,to reveal the evolutionary characteristics in the past ten years and investigate the evolution forms and mechanism.LIS has a strong interdisciplinary degree which is showing an increasing trend.The interdisciplinary and openness of LIS are the fundamental driving force of interdisciplinarity.Its interdisciplinarity is mainly manifested in the adherence to the discipline core and the expansion of the discipline edge.In the process of interdisciplinarity,LIS also has the problem of insufficient influence and penetration.

Coseismic effects recorded by Fujian subsurface fluid network and its meaning to earthquake prediction

Based on analyses of the spatio-temporal evolutionary characteristics of teleseismic response recorded by Fujian subsurface fluid network and in combination with earthquakes happened in Fujian province during the same period, this paper points out that the step-like rising of water level after distant earthquakes may include some regional stress field information, and the area where water level step-like rises could be the position that the stress concentrated on and where the future earthquakes would occur. If combined with other impending precursors, the location of the events may be predicted to a certain degree.

Evolutionary investment network and the emerging energy power in Central Asia:From the perspective of cross-border mergers and acquisitions

Central Asia is emerging as an important pole of global economic and political power,thanks to its unique location at the heart of Eurasia and its abundance in energy reserves.This study explores the social power change in Central Asia from the perspective of cross-border mergers and acquisitions(M&A)by using the social network method.The main results are as follows:(1)The complexity of the energy M&A network has significantly decreased after the financial crisis in 2008.In the meantime,energy M&A became an important way to enhance energy power for buyer countries.Betweenness centrality is becoming the most significant factor affecting energy power,yet the effect of out-degree is weakening.(2)The community underwent multifaceted restructuring,which reflected the shift of energy power in Central Asia.Kazakhstan is the most powerful country in the energy sector in Central Asia.In addition,East Asian countries/regions,represented by China,are actively enhancing their energy power.(3)Different M&A modes reflect various M&A motivations of countries in the energy sector.In the future,more efforts should be made to promote the establishment of a pragmatic and efficient multilateral energy cooperation mechanism and strength the cooperation of the economy and energy finance when China participates in the energy market in Central Asia.

Adaptive Transition of Traditional Handicraft Villages Under the Rule of Consanguinity Community:A Case Study of Xizhuang Village in Xinjiang County,Shanxi Province

As an important witness to the rural industry in the agricultural era,traditional handicraft villages have attracted renewed attention in the contemporary context of intangible cultural heritage protection.The dual characteristics of their traditional cultural heritage and modern economic benefits make these villages an important carrier of the dynamic inheritance and development of the heritages under the background of rural revitalization.This paper takes a stonemason village of Xizhuang in Xinjiang County,Shanxi Province,as an example,and reveals the evolutionary characteristics of traditional handicraft villages in the process of transition from agricultural to industrial society from the“social-spatial”perspective.In the agricultural era,the kinship,production organization,and religious beliefs of traditional handicraft villages were closely linked under the blood relationship in a clan-based structure,forming a“social-spatial”trinity composed of“residence,production,and spirit.”In the industrial era,the development of handicraft economy results in the transformation of the“social-spatial”form of the settlement,the social structure shrank from clan control to nuclear family domination,the production space began to be stripped away from villages,the living space changed from gathered clan living to separated-family homes,and the spiritual place was transformed into public space.However,due to the inter-generational transmission of handicrafts based on blood relationship,the consanguinity community has always been the main carrier for the continuity of skills,and has become the stable foundation for maintaining the“social-spatial”form of the village.Therefore,the adaptive transition of traditional handicraft villages in the context of socio-economic transformation continues the interconnection among society,economy,and space,and presents a unique vitality and comparative stability.
