Cohen's model is interesting because of the manners in which Cohen attempts to answer the questions the model begs: how can individuals with fundamentally incommensurable world views actually engage in common acts of practical reason with each other about issues like human rights? What common convictions or a common social imaginary must these individuals share? I argue that articulating potential common grounds on which acts of global public reasoning can transpire involves engaging with rather than seeking to reason autonomously from (or transcend) the material, social, and cultural forces--most importantly the tradition of liberal secularism which Cohen's model takes its normative bearings from--that make such discourses what they are. Doing so enhances the ability of a liberal secular human rights proponent to elucidate meaningful sites of common ground with others. Such common ground emerges not simply through toleration but also through critically engaging the worldviews of other globally public reasoners.展开更多

Inelastic electron scattering form factors has been calculated for different parity for the two (C3) transitions of 14^N for (5.83MeV) (f^π, T = 20) level and, (5.106MeV) (f^π, T = 30) level in the frame w...Inelastic electron scattering form factors has been calculated for different parity for the two (C3) transitions of 14^N for (5.83MeV) (f^π, T = 20) level and, (5.106MeV) (f^π, T = 30) level in the frame work of shell model. The model space wave functions are generated by using the Cohen-Kurath (CK) interaction, where 4He is assumed as a core and ten nucleons are distributed over the lp-shell which forms the model space. Core-polarization effects (CP) (the effects from outside lp-shell model space) are included through the first order perturbation theory. The core-polarization effects increase the form factor to be up near the experimental data which are not sufficient to give a good comparison with the calculating data.展开更多

Using Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province as a case study, we conducted questionnaires with 620 local residents and a logistic regression model to determine aesthetic perceptions and factors affecting these perceptions. We found that local residents in Nujiang hold a relatively high perception of their residential landscapes. A majority of respondents, 75.81%, believe their residential landscapes are beautiful. Eight factors were found to influence the aesthetic perception. In direct influential factors, administrative village located in the protected areas and the standard deviation of the elevation around the administrative village have positive influence; distance from administrative village to county town, the ecological environment has changed in recent years, whether tourism development has a negative impact and wish to live in the city have negative influence. In indirect influential factors, both residential house type and have a television at home have positive influence. Based on these results, we discussed relevant policy suggestions to maintain the aesthetic perceptions held by local residents of their residential landscapes and promote the protection and sustainable development of this valuable landscape in Nujiang.展开更多
