COVID-19:A pluralistic and integrated approach for efficient management of the pandemic

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),which triggered the ongoing pandemic,was first discovered in China in late 2019.SARSCoV-2 is a respiratory virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)that often manifests as a pneumonic syndrome.In the context of the pandemic,there are mixed views on the data provided by epidemiologists and the information collected by hospital clinicians about their patients.In addition,the literature reports a large proportion of patients free of pneumonia vs a small percentage of patients with severe pneumonia among confirmed COVID-19 cases.This raises the issue of the complexity of the work required to control or contain the pandemic.We believe that an integrative and pluralistic approach will help to put the analyses into perspective and reinforce collaboration and creativity in the fight against this major scourge.This paper proposes a comprehensive and integrative approach to COVID-19 research,prevention,control,and treatment to better address the pandemic.Thus,this literature review applies a pluralistic approach to fight the pandemic.

A Pluralistic Mind Approach to the Complementarity Between Schema and Language

The traditional view is that understanding knowledge is based on language.Is language a sufficient condition for cognitive knowledge?Pluralistic mind holds that understanding knowledge can be obtained independently through schemata.Schema-based cognition is not the only component of cognitive structure.The important language and quasi language thinking play a great role in cognition.Expounding the relationship between schema-based cognition and language and quasi language like thinking can explain the cognitive complementarity between schema and language.It shows that with the increase of language and quasi language thinking,the form of thinking is continuously enhanced and transformed through schema-based cognition.Language and quasi language thinking are cognitive abilities different from schema cognition.They are relatively new additions to cognitive tools.Language and quasi language like thinking are of little use to animals which do not have enough schema forming ability.

A Pluralistic Approach to Human Rights in a Community of Shared Future for Mankind

'A community of shared destiny for all mankind' has its own inherent logic, structure and development path, and a pluralistic concept of human rights is a key factor to achieve its four core goals: equality, cooperation, security and inclusiveness. A pluralistic concept of human rights and the ideal of a community of shared future for all mankind overlap on certain values and interests, as well as power and cultural attributes. It means that a pluralistic approach to human rights is indispensable to the establishment of a community of shared future for all mankind. Meanwhile, this new view of human rights embodies mutual respect and support for the inherent inevitability among different countries, shared responsibility, and pursuit of common development.

Discussion on the Reform Path of Ideological and Political Education in Higher Education from the Perspective of Cultural Integration

As society continues to evolve,multiculturalism has emerged as a significant global trend,exerting an increasingly pervasive influence across all aspects of our lives.Each culture possesses unique characteristics,and the coexistence of diverse cultures can readily give rise to various challenges.This trend will significantly impact contemporary college students,thus posing more formidable challenges for university ideological and political education.In light of this,pertinent analysis and research on the reform of ideological and political teaching in colleges and universities was conducted from the perspective of promoting a pluralistic and integrated cultural environment.

Technology Embedding of Classroom Teaching: Types, Issues and Responses

As the new demands on curriculum teaching in the information age, the application of various technologies is profoundly affecting classroom teaching today. The technology-embedded classroom approach includes technology- assisted teaching, technology-integrated teaching, and technology-based teaching. There are still some deficiencies in the technological embedding of course teaching, the technological presentation of knowledge destroys the ecosystem of classroom, the technological controlled teaching hinders the development of teacher-student relationship, and the value orientation under technological efficiency neglects the integrated development of students. It is recommended to develop an ecological view of technological development, a pedagogical system focused on teacher-student interaction and an evaluation system with a multi-valued orientation.

The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Scripts of Ancient Luo Yue Stone Inscriptions and the Oracle Bone:A Comparative Study

The 12 animal calendars of the Chinese zodiac are the essence and source of Chinese civilization,and have been deeply rooted in the production,life,and social activities of various ethnic groups in China since ancient times.The ancient Luo Yue stone inscription1 is a popular ancient script from four to six thousand years ago,and 17,496 characters have been found,which is the earliest script found on the Chinese land so far.A comparative study of Chinese zodiac characters2 between the ancient Luo Yue stone inscriptions and the oracle bone through paleographic conformation reveals that the two characters have the same and similar characteristics.Therefore,this paper intends to further investigate the kinship between the two,and to conduct a preliminary exploration of the origin,development,and evolution of the zodiac by combining recent human archaeological data,emerging molecular anthropological data,historical literature,and data from the Chinese Civilization Exploration Project,in an attempt to show the integration and dependence of Chinese civilization,the pluralistic pattern of Chinese culture,and the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

Study on the Formalized Development of the Street Stall Economy-based on Domestic and International Experiences and Perspectives

The ground-floor economy has a long history as a significant part of the informal economy.Due to the dependence on its own social status and relationship to the government’s political and economic objectives,it has developed precariously in recent years.In the face of post-epidemic problems,a shortcut is to learn from international experience.This paper used the structural theory and drew from the secondary data,demonstrating the background of informal economy and exploring the rational ways to maintain and develop street vending.Spatialization,legalization and network digitization are proven international approaches,which display the empirical and theoretical implications to urban practice and studies.

中国民族学的研究范式及创新

In almost a century of its development,Chinese ethnology has gradually formed some significant academic paradigms.One of them is the"ethnic research paradigm"which concentrates on summarizing,organizing,and detailing social and cultural facts using"ethnicity"as its primary unit.This paradigm sees ethnicity as its foundational unit of study.Meanwhile,the"inter-ethnic research paradigm"transcends singular ethnic groups,spotlighting the complex interactions between multiple ethnic groups.It views a multi-ethnic community or region as its core research field,underscoring the nuances of cultural exchange,overlap,and shared experiences.These two paradigms,while distinct,are both invaluable to Chinese ethnology.They don't replace each other but rather work synergistically.Pioneering ethnologist,Fei Xiaotong,masterfully merged these paradigms in his groundbreaking"pluralism and unity"theory,ushering in a refreshed framework for Chinese ethnological studies.This article delves into these foundational paradigms from a historical academic lens,aiming to further refine and enrich the scientific methodologies employed in Chinese ethnology.

A Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation Embodied in the Musical Dance Art of Early Dunhuang Grottoes

The musical dance art recorded in early Dunhuang Grottoes,though supposed to be created by ancient northern ethnic groups such as the Hun and Xianbei,gives expression to a strong thought of"Chinafication"and a sense of community for the Chinese nation.By analyzing the essence and content of the musical dance art in the Dunhuang Grottoes created during the Northern Liang(A.D.397-460),Northern Wei(A.D.386-534),Western Wei(A.D.535-556)and Northern Zhou(A.D.557-581)Dynasties,and by exploring the contribution of ancient ethnic groups such as the Hun and Xianbei in the formation and development of Chinese nation,this study reveals that the musical dance art in early Dunhuang Grottoes faithfully reflects the community pattern of the Chinese nation featured by"unity in diversity"developed since ancient times,and hopes that the future research and creation may expand their horizon by incorporating the musical dance art of early Dunhuang Grottoes into the system of contemporary Dunhuang dance.

Democratization of ecosystem services--a radical approach for assessing nature's benefits in the face of urbanization

Objectives:(1)To evaluate how ecosystem services may be utilized to either reinforce or fracture the planning and development practices that emerged from segregation and eco-nomic exclusion;(2)To survey the current state of ecosystem service assessments and synthesize a growing number of recommendations from the literature for renovating ecosys-tem service analyses.Methods:Utilizing current maps of ecosystem service distribution in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality,South Africa,we considered how a democratized process of assessing ecosys-tem services will produce a more nuanced representation of diverse values in society and capture heterogeneity in ecosystem structure and function.Results:We propose interventions for assessing ecosystem services that are inclusive of a broad range of stakeholders'values and result in actual quantification of social and ecological processes.We demonstrate how to operationalize a pluralistic framework for ecosystem service assessments.Conclusion:A democratized approach to ecosystem service assessments is a reimagined path to rescuing a poorly implemented concept and designing and managing future social-ecological systems that benefit people and support ecosystem integrity.It is the responsi-bility of scientists who do ecosystem services research to embrace more complex,pluralistic frameworks so that sound and inclusive scientific information is utilized in decision-making.

历史文化街区更新实施中的社区信任建构--以北京史家胡同为例

Concerning the complexity and diversity of demands in historic and cultural districts,the protection and regeneration planning(PRP)practice has been gradually shifted from spatial design to pluralistic and participatory community governance.Previous studies have pointed out that community trust is an essential means to eliminate social resistance and improve community cohesion and executive capability.However,the trustbuilding mechanism has been given little attention in urban planning.This study intends to improve the theoretical cognition of trust in community governance and provide suggestions for addressing issues of protection and regeneration planning in historic and cultural districts.With Shijia Hutong in Dongcheng District of Beijing,as an empirical case,this paper conducts a household survey and applies the Structural Equation Model(SEM)to explore the influencing elements and community trust-building path in the protection and regeneration planning from the perspective of residents.Through analyzing the influencing mechanism of residents’perception,it reveals that,firstly,pluralistic governance that is composed of the grass-roots government,NGOs,and residents can directly promote residents’perception of the protection and regeneration planning,and have a greater influence by facilitating public participation in building up community trust.Secondly,residents’perception of the protection and regeneration planning would not be improved if public participation failed to build up community trust.Thirdly,community trust consists of neighborhood trust and leadership trust,of which the latter is more important.These findings contribute a new perspective and solution to urban regeneration and heritage protection in the future.In addition,this study may inspire research on trust-building through urban planning,governance,and public participation.

On the Major Transformation of the Asia-Pacific Regional Structure

Recent years have witnessedsignificant changes in the Asia-Pacific regionalstructure featuring the shift in power balance among related countries as well as adjust-ments in their respective regional strategies. So what is the prevailing trend in thistransformation and what kind of regional order will likely emerge in the future？ To an-swer these questions, the paper tries to explore the following dimensions： the evolvingregional context, shift in power balance and power conversion, geo-political and geo-e-conomic developments and interactions between them, and evolving regional order. Asthe study shows, the broadening of regional geographical scope, the rise in the numberof actors involved, as well as changesin the relations among them, have combined tocast a pluralistic and complex flavor to the regional structure. While the power balanceamong China, the United States and Japan shifts, and power conversion is also occur-ring. China and Japan are paying increasing attention to their security roles, whereasthe United States under the Obama administration laid more stress on expanding itsgeo-economic clout. In spite of the intensifying geopolitical competition among China,the United States and Japan in recent years, a Sino-US strategic compromise-whichholds the key to regional geopolitics-isother front, some kind of geo-economicmore likely to take place in the future. On thecooperation will probably emerge. In the longerterm, it will be the geo-economic trend thatwill prevail over the geopolitical trend inthe region. Finally, the future evolution of regional order wiI1 mainly follow the eco-nomic logic, accompanied by the dilutionof its hegemonic and hierarchical nature.Hence, a pluralistic and complex regional community will emerge.
