Aesthetics in Institutional Art

The lack of a ballet school in the city of Shkodra,and in the entire northern area,as well as the request of many parents that the state public school have a ballet-dance art sector,gave me the impetus to develop and present this ambitious project and at the same time realistic.Taking into consideration the author’s experience and dedication,the author has time to work voluntarily in a project aimed at perfecting and increasing the quality of teaching and bringing it closer to contemporary standards,both in the music sector and in that of visual arts.As you know,Shkodra inherits the musical values of great colossus such asČesk Zadeja,Tonin Harapi,Pjetër Gaci,Gjon Kapedani,etc.and in that of figurative arts,it is protected by the art and culture of Indromeno,Lulan,Danish Jukni,etc.The“Prenk Jakova”Artistic High School,being the only art school in the Northern Area of Albania,which includes the District of Shkodra,The Great Highlands Puke,Lezha,through this project,which the author has been working on for years and with great effort the author managed to finish it,within a very short time it can reach contemporary European standards and the students who will qualify in this school will be ready to compete at all levels of contemporary schools.Within this project,the introduction of the art of classical dance,ballet,is also foreseen,with the expansion of which we enable the school“Prenk Jakova”to never have exhaustion in the registrations of the first cycles,in which our school has always had deficiencies.Allow the author to express her conviction that the ancient city of Shkodra deserves this project in aid of Albanian art and culture.Extending it to the primary cycles,the introduction of classical ballet dance gives the only art school for the northern area,a longevity and a flow of enrollments and a flow of students in primary schools.

THE WAY OF RESTORING AND REESTABLISHING BROADLEAVED/CONIFEROUS MIXED FOREST ECOSYSTEM FROM SECONDARY FOREST OF MONGOLIAN OAK

The necessity,basis,characteristic and methods of restoring and reestabling broadleaved/coniferous mixed forest ecosystem from the secondary forest of Mongolian oak(Quercus mongolica)are briefly set forth;then several effective methods of restoration and reestablishment are put forward and discussed as follows:openning up effect belt or island to establish horizontal order mixture;replenishing the blank niche to make vertical orderly mix-ture;planting artificial mixed forest to create biological diversity;developing ecological forestry,establishing integrated agroforestry ecosystem;and closing the land for forest and pre-serving some stands considering special conditions and demads.

Epidemiological characteristics of Plasmodium malariae malaria in China:a malaria that should not be neglected post elimination

Background Plasmodium malariae was always neglected compared withP.falciparum andP.vivax.In the present study,we aimed to describe the epidemiology of reported cases infected withP.malariae in the past decade to raise awareness of the potential threat of this malaria parasite in China.Methods Individual data of malaria cases infected withP.malariae reported in China in the past decade were collected via the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention and Parasitic Diseases Information Reporting Management System,to explore their epidemiological characteristics.Pearson Chi-square tests or Fisher’s Exact Test was used in the statistical analysis.Results From 2013 to 2022,a total of 581P.malariae cases were reported in China,and mainly concentrated in 20-59 years old group(P<0.001),and there was no significant trend in the number of cases reported per month.Moreover,four kinds ofP.malariae cases were classified,including 567 imported cases from 41 countries in 8 regions and distributed in 27 provinces(autonomous regions,municipalities)in China,six indigenous cases in a small outbreak in Hainan,seven recurrent cases in Guangdong and Shanghai,and one induced case in Shanghai,respectively.In addition,only 379 cases(65.2%)were diagnosed as malaria on the first visit(P<0.001),and 413 cases(71.1%)were further confirmed asP.malariae cases(P=0.002).Meanwhile,most cases sought healthcare first in the health facilities at the county and prefectural levels,but only 76.7%(161/210)and 73.7%(146/198)cases were diagnosed as malaria,and the accuracy of confirmed diagnosis as malaria cases infected withP.malariae was only 77.2%(156/202)and 69.9%(167/239)in these health facilities respectively.Conclusions Even though malaria cases infected withP.malariae didn’t account for a high proportion of reported malaria cases nationwide,the threat posed by widely distributed imported cases,a small number of indigenous cases,recurrent cases and induced case cannot be ignored in China.Therefore,it is necessary to raise awareness and improve the surveillance and response to the non-falciparum species such asP.malariae,and prevent the reestablishment of malaria transmission after elimination.

Expounding Neo-Confucianism:Choice of Tradition at a Time of Dynastic Change——Cultural Conflict and the Social Reconstruction of Early Qing

During the Ming-Qing dynastic transition, the contradictions and conflicts arising from the different political systems, ways of rule, living styles and organization modes of economic life between the Manchu and the Han constituted a central part of Manchu-Han cultural conflicts, and intensified the social contradiction during the earlier years of emperors Shunzhi and Kangxi. Against this background, the early-Qing Neo-Confucianism neither criticized the reality nor rejected the tradition, but attempted to reestablish the moral and ethical order of the Chinese society in accordance with orthodox Confucianism. With its introduction into the imperial court by famous Neo-Confueianists such as Xiong Cilii, Neo-Confucianism began to enjoy increasing influence in Qing politics, and became the dominant official ideology in the Qing society. With this, the Qing dynasty gradually completed its historical transition from traditional Manchu politics to Central-plains politics. Moreover, the emperor＇s turnto Confucianism also put a good end to the decade-long cultural conflict within the Qing dynasty, thus making possible the ethnic intermingling between the Manchu and the Han. Accordingly, the change in Ming loyalists＇ political attitude was a political and cultural indicator of the disorder-order transition of the early-Qing Chinese society.
