Global Cyberspace Governance: State Actors and the China-US Cyber Relationship

The rising role of state actors,in particular cyber powers in cyberspace governance,has become a promine nt feature of the governance process.All countries begin to take more proactive measures,in terms of building cyber capacities,and getting more involved in global cyberspace governance.This process will be determined upon the interactions of China and the US to be framed within the laws and regulations of global cyberspace governance.

Estimation of Global Solar Radiation for Four Selected Sites in Nepal Using Sunshine Hours, Temperature and Relative Humidity

Rational and accurate solar energy databases, essential for designing, sizing and performing the solar energy systems in any part of the world, are not easily accessible in different localities of Nepal. In this study, daily global solar radiation, sunshine hours and meteorological data for Biratnagar, Kathmandu, Pokhara and Jumla have been used to derive the regression constants. The linear regression technique has been used to develop a model for Biratnagar, Kathmandu, Pokhara and Jumla. The model has calculated the global solar radiation for these locations. The values of global solar radiation estimated by the model are found to be in close agreement with measured values of respective sites. The estimated values were compared with Angstrom-Prescott model and examined using the root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE), mean percentage error (MPE), coefficient of regression (R), coefficient of determinant (R2) and correlation coefficient (CC) statistical techniques. Thus, the resultant correlations and linear regression relations may be then used for the locations of similar meteorological/geographical characteristics and also can be used to estimate the missing data of solar radiation for the respective site.

The Redirection of US Foreign Strategy against the Background of Globalization

American foreign strategy has had strong continuity since World War II despite differences among successive presidents. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign revealed ideas and goals for US strategy and strategy adjustment that differ significantly from those of predecessors. The decline in relative gains and rise in cost for US involvement in globalization are reasons for Trump to redirect US foreign strategy. The relative decrease of both US trade and foreign direct investment in the US, amid security threats and the identity crisis of the American people, has tremendously increased the pricetag for US involvement in globalization.

Role of Microphysical Parameterizations with Droplet Relative Dispersion in IAP AGCM 4.1

Previous studies have shown that accurate descriptions of the cloud droplet effective radius （Re） and the autoconversion process of cloud droplets to raindrops （At） can effectively improve simulated clouds and surface precipitation, and reduce the uncertainty of aerosol indirect effects in GCMs. In this paper, we implement cloud microphysical schemes including two-moment Ar and Re considering relative dispersion of the cloud droplet size distribution into version 4.1 of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics＇s atmospheric GCM （IAP AGCM 4.1）, which is the atmospheric component of the Chinese Academy of Sciences＇ Earth System Model. Analysis of the effects of different schemes shows that the newly implemented schemes can improve both the simulated shortwave and longwave cloud radiative forcings, as compared to the standard scheme, in lAP AGCM 4.1. The new schemes also effectively enhance the large-scale precipitation, especially over low latitudes, although the influences of total precipitation are insignificant for different schemes. Further studies show that similar results can be found with the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5.1.

GPS/VISNAV integrated relative navigation and attitude determination system for ultra-close spacecraft formation flying

For the improvement of accuracy and better fault-tolerant performance, a global position system （GPS）/vision navigation （VISNAV） integrated relative navigation and attitude determination approach is presented for ultra-close spacecraft formation flying. Onboard GPS and VISNAV system are adopted and a federal Kalman filter architecture is used for the total navigation system design. Simulation results indicate that the integrated system can provide a total improvement of relative navigation and attitude estimation performance in accuracy and fault-tolerance.

Rethinking Globalization in the Trump Era： US-China Relations

The global economic and political order that was created in the aftermath of World War II is under attack by President Donald Trump. In this article, Nobel Prize Laureate Joseph Stiglitz discusses the scope for protectionist actions by President Trump and suggests how countries such as China could and should respond. In particular, he proposes a set often principles that should guide China＇s response, principles designed to enhance a more stable and efficient multi-polar system of global governance that can contribute to a stronger global economy.

A Two-Phase Paradigm for Joint Entity-Relation Extraction

An exhaustive study has been conducted to investigate span-based models for the joint entity and relation extraction task.However,these models sample a large number of negative entities and negative relations during the model training,which are essential but result in grossly imbalanced data distributions and in turn cause suboptimal model performance.In order to address the above issues,we propose a two-phase paradigm for the span-based joint entity and relation extraction,which involves classifying the entities and relations in the first phase,and predicting the types of these entities and relations in the second phase.The two-phase paradigm enables our model to significantly reduce the data distribution gap,including the gap between negative entities and other entities,aswell as the gap between negative relations and other relations.In addition,we make the first attempt at combining entity type and entity distance as global features,which has proven effective,especially for the relation extraction.Experimental results on several datasets demonstrate that the span-based joint extraction model augmented with the two-phase paradigm and the global features consistently outperforms previous state-ofthe-art span-based models for the joint extraction task,establishing a new standard benchmark.Qualitative and quantitative analyses further validate the effectiveness the proposed paradigm and the global features.

Performances of the cotton bollworm,Heliothis armigera (Hubner) at different temperatures and relative humidities

The cotton bollworm, Heliothis armigera (Hubner) is an important insect species at-tacking many crops. Their performances have been examined at temperatures from 15℃ to 35℃ and relative humidities (RH) between 22.5% and 100%, respectively, in order to assess possible effect of climate in future on its occurrence and infestation. Durations of all developmental stages of the insect shortened with increasing temperature. The temperature favoring population growth ranged from 25℃ to 30℃.Larval duration and adult longevity decreased as relative humidity increased, but development of other stages was independent of RH. At RH of over 64%, their survival rate, egg production and oviposition rate varied a little, and all the population parameters of the insect remained at a relative constant level.

Japan-UK Security Cooperation in the Context of the Convergence of the Indo-Pacific Strategy and Global Britain

Japan-UK security cooperation has been deepening as the Indo-Pacific Strategy has converged with Global Britain,which has become strongly Indo-Pacific-oriented.In terms of their cooperation on security,the two countries have close security interactions,high-level security consultations,numerous mechanisms on security cooperation,frequent defense cooperation and exchanges between forces,and cooperation geared at a response to the Korean nuclear issue.In particular,Japan and the UK regard Indo-Pacific security as the strategic focus of their cooperation,and this underscores the rules-based international order.There are multiple motivations for Japan and the UK to strengthen their security cooperation,and the deepening of their security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region is to a great extent due to strategic factors,including responding to the US strategic adjustment,Japan and Britain’s respective proactive strategic demands,the improving strategic positions of the Indopacific region,their seeking to shape the regional order in the Indo-Pacific,and so on.Despite facing challenges,Japan-UK security cooperation is continuously strengthening against a background of deepening strategic convergence between the two countries and great power competition.

Evaluation of global navigation satellite system spoofing efficacy

The spoofing capability of Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)represents an important confrontational capability for navigation security,and the success of planned missions may depend on the effective evaluation of spoofing capability.However,current evaluation systems face challenges arising from the irrationality of previous weighting methods,inapplicability of the conventional multi-attribute decision-making method and uncertainty existing in evaluation.To solve these difficulties,considering the validity of the obtained results,an evaluation method based on the game aggregated weight model and a joint approach involving the grey relational analysis and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution(GRA-TOPSIS)are firstly proposed to determine the optimal scheme.Static and dynamic evaluation results under different schemes are then obtained via a fuzzy comprehensive assessment and an improved dynamic game method,to prioritize the deceptive efficacy of the equipment accurately and make pointed improvement for its core performance.The use of judging indicators,including Spearman rank correlation coefficient and so on,combined with obtained evaluation results,demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method and the optimal scheme by the horizontal comparison of different methods and vertical comparison of evaluation results.Finally,the results of field measurements and simulation tests show that the proposed method can better overcome the difficulties of existing methods and realize the effective evaluation.

A Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Solving Relative Orientation of Big Rotation Angle Stereo Pair

The fast convergence without initial value dependence is the key to solving large angle relative orientation.Therefore,a hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed in this paper.The concrete process is:①stochastic hill climbing(SHC)algorithm is used to make a random disturbance to the given initial value of the relative orientation element,and the new value to guarantee the optimization direction is generated.②In local optimization,a super-linear convergent conjugate gradient method is used to replace the steepest descent method in relative orientation to improve its convergence rate.③The global convergence condition is that the calculation error is less than the prescribed limit error.The comparison experiment shows that the method proposed in this paper is independent of the initial value,and has higher accuracy and fewer iterations.

Batch process monitoring based on WGNPE–GSVDD related and independent variables

In many batch processes, there are related or independence relationships among process variables. The traditional monitoring method usually carries out a single statistical model according to the related or independent method, and in the feature extraction there is not fully taken into account the characterization of fault information, it will make the process monitoring ineffective, so a fault monitoring method based on WGNPE(weighted global neighborhood preserving embedding)–GSVDD(greedy support vector data description) related and independent variables is proposed. First, mutual information method is used to separate the related variables and independent variables. Secondly, WGNPE method is used to extract the local and global structures of the related variables in batch process and highlight the fault information, GSVDD method is used to extract the process information of the independent variables quickly and effectively. Finally, the statistical monitoring model is established to achieve process monitoring based on WGNPE and GSVDD. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the penicillin fermentation process.

Religion and International Relations in the Age of Globalization

The global resurgence of religion and the return of religion from the so-called“Westphalia Exile”to the central stage of international religions have significantly transformed the viewpoints of both media and academia toward the role of religion in international relations(IR),and the challenges posed by religion to the contemporary international relations are often described as entirely subversive.The author argues that as a second-tier factor in the foreign policies of most countries and international affairs,religion and religious movements could neither shake the dominant role of“norm-setting”sovereign states in the international system,nor serve as a basis to“rebuild”IR theory.The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of religion’s growing influence in IR for China,the importance of religion to the construction of China’s international image,and the feasibility of religion being developed as a resource for China’s public as well as people-to-people diplomacy.

Reference satellite selection method for GNSS high-precision relative positioning

Selecting the optimal reference satellite is an important component of high-precision relat/ve positioning because the reference satellite directly influences the strength of the normal equation. The reference satellite selection methods based on elevation and positional dilution of precision （PDOP） value were compared. Results show that all the above methods cannot select the optimal reference satellite. We introduce condition number of the design matrix in the reference satellite selection method to improve structure of the normal equation, because condition number can indicate the ill condition of the normal equation. The experimental results show that the new method can improve positioning accuracy and reliability in precise relative positioning.

The Belt and Road Initiative,New-type Globalization and Major-country Relations

most of the countries along the Belt and Road belong to low-and medium-income countries, their main challenge is how to achieve development. East Asia and China relied on the export-oriented strategy to have achieved industrialization. However, in the next period, the growth rate of international trade will be significantly lower than that of GDP. Coupled with the de-globalization trend in developed countries, the global development needs new ideas. China and countries along the Belt and Road can promote industrialization centering on infrastructure construction, with the manufacturing industry as the core and developing countries cooperation as the main content to promote new-type globalization. China has leading manufacturing and trade capacity of the world, and strategically advocates principles of extensive consultation, shared benefits and joint contribution, therefore, the Belt and Road Initiative has a profound driving power. It is expected by 2030, 2.4 billion people with low-income along the Belt and Road will be transformed into high-income population, and then China would have a population of 1.4 billion with high income.

新时代涉外法治人才全球胜任力教育的研究生课程体系改进

当前我国涉外法治人才培养功效不显、作用不彰的问题表明现行涉外法治人才的教育以及课程体系存在不足,未能把符合多元国际社会需要的全球胜任力涵盖其中。作为既能胜任竞争也可胜任合作的多维度能力,全球胜任力具有重要的时代价值,是我国涉外法治人才必须具备的能力,因而是我国新时代法学教育需要增强的领域。目前涉外法治人才培养的研究生课程体系普遍注重的是国际规则的知识与技能传授,却不够重视国际视野的提升,未能把全球胜任力有效地涵盖进去。在研究生课程体系的改进上,应当对“强化模块课程”加以调整,增加蕴含全球胜任力内涵的世界法律文化、比较法、可持续发展、人类命运共同体等专题课程,并将“素质提升课程模块”的讲座模式调整为相对固定的“讲座教授+”模式,注重涉外法治人才视野与价值观的提升。

中国全球治理观的转型与全球治理变革——以文化融合为分析视角

当今世界正面临越来越多的全球性挑战,全球治理需求愈发多样化,全球治理进入关键期。为了维护人类整体利益和保障多样化的治理需求,世界亟需新的全球治理观来弥合分歧和凝聚共识。当前西方主导的全球治理观在应对这些挑战时显得力不从心,反映中西方文化融合的关系理性主义治理观应运而生。关系理性主义融合了中国的关系性思维文化和西方的理性思维文化的精髓,推动着中国全球治理观的转型和全球治理的变革,即从人类整体本位治理走向人类整体本位治理与个体本位治理的平衡;从规则治理走向规则治理与关系治理的平衡;从多边治理走向多边治理与大国协调治理的平衡;从区域治理走向区域治理与国家治理的平衡。实现全球治理观转型的关键在于能否形成包容性的全球治理观,这关系到全球治理的成败。

新的教育社会契约中的人文主义:传统、局限与超越

随着联合国教科文组织发布《一起重新构想我们的未来:为教育打造新的社会契约》以及联合国召开“教育变革峰会”,新的教育社会契约已成为当今全球教育治理的重要话语。它根植于人文主义传统,与联合国教科文组织此前的前瞻性教育报告一起,建构起与时俱进的人文主义教育思想体系。然而,当人文主义与西方个体理性的底层逻辑相结合时,无法解决个体利益争斗和有效的共同体建设等问题,阻碍了人文主义在全球教育治理中发挥出理想的效果。中华文明中的关系理性能够为新的教育社会契约的未来超越提供思路,培养具备“关系素养”的人来建立真实的“人类命运共同体”,这是中国对未来全球教育治理的可能贡献。

日本国际关系研究的特点与新动向

日本的国际关系研究系多领域的学科体系,包括历史研究、区域国别研究、理论研究及非国家主体研究等,其中理论研究相对薄弱。日本国际关系研究的主要课题是推动理论研究创新性发展,与其他研究领域相互促进,并不倡导构建国际关系理论研究的“日本学派”。日本国际关系研究中的理论研究以引进美国的相关理论为主,而在学科体系、研究方法等方面受美国的影响不大。随着全球国际关系学的兴起,日本学者也主张破除国际关系理论研究中的美国中心主义,并倡导构建以“关系性”为重心而不是以行为体为中心的全球关系学。
