What would Hippocrates have sworn upon witnessing the COVID-19 mandates and mortality paradox

For the first time in human history,hundreds of millions of people all over the world have been subjected to compulsory vaccination with a new type of nucleic acid based vaccines in order to keep their jobs or be able to travel due to some notorious coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)mandates.The vast majority of African countries were either initially deprived of these vaccines,or later,a majority of the population was too skeptical to receive them and preferred a safe early treatment pharmacological approach.Yet,Africa had the lowest COVID-19 mortality rate compared to those countries that adopted mass vaccination.This letter to the editor adds African insights that should be helpful in future pandemics to save millions of precious lives.

Distribution Patterns of Severe Pediatric Trauma: Mandated vs. Non-Mandated Trauma Systems

Objective: To identify how hospital discharge data could discriminate the distribution patterns of high-risk trauma children in mandated and non-mandated trauma systems. Methods: Hospital discharge data of pediatric trauma patients 1 - 15 years of age in Florida (FL), USA—[a mature mandated trauma system with certified trauma centers (TCs)] and in Indiana (IN), USA—(an immature non-mandated trauma system) admitted both to trauma center (TC) and non-TC healthcare facilities were analyzed. The injury severity score (ISS) measurement was used to verify injury severities. Results: Analysis showed that the majority of admissions were mild injuries (ISS = 1 - 8), [FL 70%, IN 66%, odds ratio (OR) 1.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1, 1.3]. Florida trauma children (all severities) generally receive TC care more frequently than Indiana’s (OR = 1.8, CI 1.6 - 1.9). Particularly admission to TCs with severe (ISS ≥ 25) pelvic injury was greater in Florida (OR 3.5, CI 1.6 - 7.4). Florida, encountered some other severe injury mechanisms (motor vehicle accidents, falls) more frequently than Indiana (ORs and CI: 2.2, 1.5 - 3.3 and 3.1, 1.1 - 8.7, respectively). Conclusions: Hospital discharge data can demonstrate the expected patient distribution difference when comparing a mature trauma system with a voluntary evolving system. The level of maturity of the adopted trauma system often influences such difference.

Social Background and Elite Composition： Jewish Political Elite During the British Mandate

This article, which utilizes the quantitative social-background approach, sets as its objective to empirically discern correlations between the behavior of the Jewish political elite, embodied in the Jewish Agency for Palestine in the period from 1921 to 1948, and the following social-background variables： age, foreign travel, occupation as a path to political power, regional affiliation, ideology, and political opportunity, of the JAE membership. Diversity of the social-background variables and, particularly, the multitude of languages they knew, explain, to a considerable extent, firstly, the wide variety of their social, political and economic views, and, secondly, the elite＇s resort to direct contact with Western governments and peoples in communicating and promoting their political ideology, thus facilitating the realization of the Zionist project.

论殷商王朝上帝为百神之君的观念

殷墟卜辞所见上帝观念之研究,历经120余年,成果丰硕,如郭沫若提出上帝为至上神,胡厚宣认为帝五臣指四方与社,等等。目前,学界对上帝是否为至上神等问题及殷代神灵体系,认识上仍存在分歧。李学勤认为,研究甲骨文反映的思想文化可借鉴周代礼制知识。我们循此思路与方法,结合西周金文“上帝百神”“先王在帝廷陟降”“先王在帝左右”等材料,再分析卜辞内证可知,殷代上帝也是百神的君主,四方(包括四方风)、社、河、岳,以及高祖、先王、旧臣均被上帝驱使,执行上帝的意志与命令。卜辞“大甲宾于咸”,可联系《左传》诸侯死后“在先王左右”来理解,即大甲辅助大乙,共同实施帝命。孙诒让提出的“天神、地示、人鬼”说,并不能客观阐释殷代神灵体系,在殷商王朝的自然宗宙观中,上帝是百神之君,控制着天地万物运转与人间社会发展,决定了农业丰歉,都邑兴衰,其意志不可捉摸,也无法改变。四方(包括四方风)、社、河、岳,与高祖、先王、旧臣作为上帝臣僚,具体落实帝令或天命,故受殷人祭祀,以求趋福避祸。

论“心即理”视域下翻译学天人合一的意义观

西方翻译学呈现出两种基本意义观:一是在柏拉图主义的笼罩下,将形而上的绝对意义视作完美而不可触及的彼岸,将形而下的相对阐释视作现实却又充满缺憾的此岸,并认为后者只能是对前者的拙劣模仿;二是在解构主义的影响下,将绝对意义和相对阐释同归于虚无。前者以“尊天抑人”的态势陷入天人二分的意义观,在一定程度压抑人本主义精神,后者以“毁天灭人”的态势陷入天人两空的意义观,因而引发虚无主义困境。在新儒家心学思想的“心即理”视域下,翻译学能够走出上述两种思维定势,促使译者立足本心,打通道枢,实现绝对意义和相对阐释的圆融统一,以“顺天应人”的态势成就天人合一的意义观。较之西方翻译学的两种意义观,它不仅凸显译者心性的关键作用,强化人本主义精神,还将本心作为意义的稳固立足点,避免虚无主义困境。这体现出心学思想对于翻译学意义观建构的独特价值,也为中国传统哲学思想在当代翻译学的应用提供了一个值得关注的学术增长点。

叶浅予漫画创作在中国画影响下的转变——以《天堂记》为例

叶浅予1948年访美归国后为北平的《新民报》创作了漫画组画《天堂记》。《天堂记》相较于叶浅予之前的漫画作品发生了明显的转变:不仅运用速写和漫画相结合的手法,以纪实的形式从新的视角来透视美国社会现象,更是对其先进与繁荣背后的腐朽与匮乏进行了辛辣地讽刺,在当时产生了巨大的社会反响。其转变既体现在表达方式、表现手法、构图方式等技法上,也涉及时代背景下的主题选择。

从“敬天畏命”视角论绎传统武术技击发展之道

受中华文明“敬天畏命”思想内核的影响,传统武术的技击发展有其与众不同的历史逻辑与目标追求。运用文献资料、自身体悟等方法从“敬天畏命”视角论绎传统武术技击观的目标变迁与求道进路。研究认为:“敬天畏命”观念对传统武术技击发展影响深远,从时间上看,促使传统武术技击发展经历了由原始社会的“交通天人”和“备战御敌”两种功能形态向热兵器时代“求道砺器”二元结构的转变过程;从空间上看,促使传统武术技击发展形成了技击技理追求与“自然之天”的“天人一体”、技击伦理追求与“道德之天”的“天人合德”、技击心理追求与“神灵之天”的“天人感应”三位一体求道进路,从而拓展了传统武术技击表现形式多样化的发展空间,开启了传统武术技击功能价值多元化的发展路径,提升了传统武术技击的文化张力,激发了传统武术技击的文化活力。

清代“大一统”理论解说

A Comparison of the Views of Heavenly Principles and Human Desire and the Theory of Personality Structure

This paper makes a comparative study of the theory of heavenly principles and human desires in the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties and the theory of personality structure in psychoanalytic theory.From the perspective of the construction of the subject,in the debate between the heavenly principle and the human desire,the person is built into the moral subject.The id,ego,and super-ego in the psychoanalytic theory constitute the unconscious structural subject.In the framework of these two theories,the“maintain the heavenly principles and eradicate human desires”and“the heavenly principles exist in desire”in the theory of heavenly principles and human desires express the unity of opposites between heavenly principles and human desire.The core of personality structure theory is the relationship of obedience and control among the id,ego,and super-ego.As far as the value orientation is concerned,the debate between the heavenly principle and the human desire provides a theoretical basis for the moral practice of Confucianism of“aim at absolute perfection”,while the free will of the id in the unconscious subject is the most essential ethical aspect of psychoanalysis.

Between the Heaven and Human Beings: On the Idea of the Heaven and the Transformation of Poetry in the Mid-Tang Dynasty

The relationship between the Heaven and human beings is a central issue in the transformation of Confucianism in the Mid-Tang Dynasty.The discourses on the Heaven by Han Yu,Liu Zongyuan,and Liu Yuxi helped to promote the transformation and greatly influenced the transformation in literature.The differences in the poetry among the three authors may also be interpreted from the perspective of their perceptions of the Heaven—Han Yu’s discourse on the Heaven focused on the enemy-relationship between the Heaven and human beings,so his poems always showed tension and loss.Liu Zongyuan was interested in the alienation between the heaven and human beings,so his poems were more rational and placid than Han Yu’s.However,Liu Yuxi’s discourse on the Heaven paid attention to the positive influence of the Heaven on human beings,and most of his poems were filled with reason.The changes in the relationship between the Heaven and human beings lead to the broadened themes,innovated vocabulary,diversified styles,and varied fresh imageries.Likewise,the relationship between the Heaven and human beings established in the Song Dynasty led accordingly to a new type of literature different from the Tang literature.

Son of Heaven and Dynastic Changes in Historical China Compared to Biblical Standards

The Israelite people began to have kings hundreds of years after the Mosaic Law was given to them from God,and with kings from David and then his family,they experienced no substantial dynastic changes in the southern kingdom of Judah.Later,the Israelites were ruled by kings or emperors of other nations until the State of Israel was restored in its historical land after World War Two.Without any written law comparable to the Mosaic Law,the earliest Zhou kings of China claimed to be Sons of Heaven and Heaven worship was inherited by later emperors.Heaven worship has features in common with the monotheistic religion of the Israelites,such as that a king should obey the will of God.With changes of dynasties,Heaven worship actually means that heaven could be renamed and the former Son of Heaven had no life-long priesthood in serving Heaven.After the redemptive work of Jesus Christ had fulfilled the Mosaic Law,Heaven worship had little relation with faith in God,the Creator.
