A Comparison of Demonstratives in English and Chinese

This paper re-examines the comparison of the demonstratives in English and Chinese,which has been discussed by many linguists.They argue that the demonstratives in English and Chinese don't correspond symmetrically,and that '这' in Chinese,for example,is more widely used than this in English.Earlier approaches to the comparison in terms of space,time and text distance are reviewed.This paper assumes that,compared with English demonstratives,the proximity indicated by Chinese demonstratives is more influenced by psychological factors.This paper holds that the space,time and text distance as well as psychological distance act upon each other,co-determining the choice of demonstratives in Chinese.

A New Proof for Congruent Number’s Problem via Pythagorician Divisors

Considering Pythagorician divisors theory which leads to a new parameterization, for Pythagorician triplets ( a,b,c )∈ ℕ 3∗ , we give a new proof of the well-known problem of these particular squareless numbers n∈ ℕ ∗ , called congruent numbers, characterized by the fact that there exists a right-angled triangle with rational sides: ( A α ) 2 + ( B β ) 2 = ( C γ ) 2 , such that its area Δ= 1 2 A α B β =n;or in an equivalent way, to that of the existence of numbers U 2 , V 2 , W 2 ∈ ℚ 2∗ that are in an arithmetic progression of reason n;Problem equivalent to the existence of: ( a,b,c )∈ ℕ 3∗ prime in pairs, and f∈ ℕ ∗ , such that: ( a−b 2f ) 2 , ( c 2f ) 2 , ( a+b 2f ) 2 are in an arithmetic progression of reason n;And this problem is also equivalent to that of the existence of a non-trivial primitive integer right-angled triangle: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , such that its area Δ= 1 2 ab=n f 2 , where f∈ ℕ ∗ , and this last equation can be written as follows, when using Pythagorician divisors: (1) Δ= 1 2 ab= 2 S−1 d e ¯ ( d+ 2 S−1 e ¯ )( d+ 2 S e ¯ )=n f 2;Where ( d, e ¯ )∈ ( 2ℕ+1 ) 2 such that gcd( d, e ¯ )=1 and S∈ ℕ ∗ , where 2 S−1 , d, e ¯ , d+ 2 S−1 e ¯ , d+ 2 S e ¯ , are pairwise prime quantities (these parameters are coming from Pythagorician divisors). When n=1 , it is the case of the famous impossible problem of the integer right-angled triangle area to be a square, solved by Fermat at his time, by his famous method of infinite descent. We propose in this article a new direct proof for the numbers n=1 (resp. n=2 ) to be non-congruent numbers, based on an particular induction method of resolution of Equation (1) (note that this method is efficient too for general case of prime numbers n=p≡a ( ( mod8 ) , gcd( a,8 )=1 ). To prove it, we use a classical proof by induction on k , that shows the non-solvability property of any of the following systems ( t=0 , corresponding to case n=1 (resp. t=1 , corresponding to case n=2 )): ( Ξ t,k ){ X 2 + 2 t ( 2 k Y ) 2 = Z 2 X 2 + 2 t+1 ( 2 k Y ) 2 = T 2 , where k∈ℕ;and solutions ( X,Y,Z,T )=( D k , E k , f k , f ′ k )∈ ( 2ℕ+1 ) 4 , are given in pairwise prime numbers.2020-Mathematics Subject Classification 11A05-11A07-11A41-11A51-11D09-11D25-11D41-11D72-11D79-11E25 .

Fields of Promise

Burundi and China enjoy close collaboration in a number of sectors,particularly agriculture.Among the major initiatives,the introduction of hybrid rice cultivation stands out as a flagship project.In 2018,the first demonstration village for hybrid rice cultivation was established in the commune of Gihanga in northwestern Burundi.In 2020,this initiative reached a crucial stage with the creation of the Burundi Agricultural Pilot Centre(APC),located in Gihanga in the province of Bubanza.A total of 56 villages spread across 11 of Burundi’s 18 provinces have been selected for demonstration as of now.Yang Huade,head of the team of high-level Chinese agricultural experts supporting Burundi and a rice cultivation specialist who is also in charge of the APC,revealed that trials are currently underway in four provinces:the capital Gitega,the central province of Muramvya,and the northern provinces of Ngozi and Kayanza.

Examining the Experiences and Challenges of Haze-Fog Governance in China

With the rapid development of industrialisation and urbanisation, China is facing the challenge of severe HF (Haze-Fog) pollution. This essay compares the advantages and disadvantages of China’s HF management and summarizes the important lessons China can teach the rest of the world about applying this tactic. China’s capabilities in the digital economy, National Innovation Demonstration Zones, and urban innovation systems are examined in this article, along with its shortcomings in information mechanisms and pollution sources. This essay also summarizes China’s achievements, particularly regarding local autonomy. The essay goes on to say, however, that China is probably going to be under more pressure to manage HF in the future, both in terms of long-term solutions and the economy.

Rural sustainable development:A case study of the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone in China

Sustainable development is the central theme of modern global development.With the arrival of the urban era,the vulnerability and instability of rural areas have significantly increased,and rural sustainable development faces serious challenges.To address these issues,the study took the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone in China under the National Sustainable Development Agenda as a case,combined with economic,social and land use data during 2016-2020,and applied Granger causality test method to explore the theoretical and practical pathways of“innovation-driven rural sustainable development”.The results showed that rural sustainable development and economic sustainability displayed a trend of synergistic change,with“explosive”growth from 2018 to 2020.The social sustainability steadily increased from 2016 to 2020.Ecological and spatial sustainability continuously declined during the study period.Moreover,the rural innovation capacity of the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone displayed rapid growth during 2016-2020.Although the rural innovation capacity of the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone has rapidly improved,it has a weak driving effect on rural sustainable development and economic sustainability.There are two primary challenges that must be overcome to ensure the rural sustainable development of the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone.The first challenge is the imbalance among the multi-dimensional relationships in the process of rural sustainable development,and the second challenge is the weakening of rural innovation capacity to drive rural sustainable development.To overcome these challenges,this study proposed a systematic pathway for rural sustainable development in the Zaozhuang Innovation Demonstration Zone from multidimensions,such as policy actions,technologies,projects,and institutional guarantees,and formed a universal and representative“Zaozhuang model”.This study expands the theoretical foundation of rural sustainable development and provides theoretical and practical support for innovation-driven rural sustainable development.

Effectiveness of one-to-one feedback methods of teaching with proper metered-dose inhaler technique and correcting errors in chronic obstructive lung disease patients

Objective:To determine the most common mistakes made during the use of a metered-dose inhaler(MDI),and the effect of the repeated trainings performed with demonstration method by providing one-to-one feedback on these mistakes.Methods:This is a quasi-experimental study with a control group.A total of 100 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients(50 in the control group and 50 in the experimental group)were included in the research.“Patient Information Form(PIF)”(to determine the descriptive characteristics of patients)through the face-to-face interview method,using“MDI Skill Assessment Form”(MDISAF)(it is composed of 10 skill steps about the use of MDI)through observation method was used.Patients in both the groups were asked to use MDI and their abilities regarding use of MDI were assessed.Then in the intervention group,usage of MDI was explained by a nurse via demonstration and placebo MDI.Trainings were repeated on days 1,3,and 5 as from hospitalization of the patient.In the intervention group,three methods were used in this study:“face-to-face training,”“one-to-one,”and“with feedbacks and repeated.”Routine training regarding use of MDI was given by the nurses in the clinic to patients in the control group.The use of an MDI was assessed using MDISAF before training and after the training on the first,third and fifth days of hospitalization.On the seventh day,the last measurement was performed.Percentage,chi square,and mean were used to assess the data.Results:After repetitive training with one-to-one feedback,several differences between the groups in favor of the experimental group were found in 7 of the 10 skill levels of the MDI.There was a significant difference after“training”between the groups in the third,fourth,fifth,sixth,seventh,eighth and ninth MDI steps in posttest measurement(P<0.05).Evaluating the skills of the groups to use MDI from pretest to posttest,it was determined that while the intervention group made less mistakes in steps in which mistakes were made mostly,the control group continued to make mistakes.Conclusions:Inhaler technique intervention with repeated,face to face,and one-to-one feedback trainings can significantly enhance the MDI techniques in COPD patients.The patients in the intervention group made less mistakes during MDI application and their application skills improved.It may be asser ted that the training provided to the intervention group was effective for using the device correctly,while the training provided in the clinic for the control group was inadequate.

Evaluation of Women’s Contribution in Agroforestry Demonstration through Moringa Species Introduction in Western Oromia,Ethiopia

Agroforestry technologies are very keen practices in most small-scale farming systems where gender issues are not well considered in most developing countries.Moringa is a tropical plant that consists of 13 species,while five of them are found in Ethiopia.This study aimed to evaluate the potential and contribution of women in agroforestry demonstrations where Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala are introduced in farmers’fields.Selection of the best performing moringa species and preferred by farmers for further scaling up was also another objective.The activity was conducted in five districts of west and east Wallagga zones.A total of 10 FREG comprising 150 farmers were established.The two moringa species were planted on 100 farmers’fields where 50 women and 50 men were purposively selected and given responsibilities of moringa demonstration.Leaflets and practical training on moringa production,importance and utilization were prepared and given to all concerned bodies.84%of women and only 32%of men effectively demonstrated the moringa species.A total of 200 farmers were interviewed to evaluate and select the best from the two species depending on their growth performance,fresh leaf taste and odor,and survival rate.Based on the above criteria,143(71.5%)farmers preferred Moringa oleifera.In general,the two moringa species were performed well in most places,and its utilization started at household level.Finally,the authors recommend that women are the potential for demonstrating agroforestry technologies,and Moringa oleifera is a more preferred species in western Oromia.

《诗经》虚词“止”复议

Mr. Yu Xingwu thought that the function word “zhi(止)” in the Book of Songs was the ancient Chinese character “zhi(之)”, which was not altered by the Han Dynasty’s scholars, and that when it functioned as a demonstrative pronoun or a mood auxiliary at the end of a sentence, its function was equal to that of “zhi(之)”. In fact, the demonstrative pronoun “zhi(止)” and the mood auxiliary “zhi(止)” both evolved from the verb “zhi(止)”. As a demonstrative pronoun, “zhi(止)” and “zhi(之)” are different words with the same meaning; as a mood auxiliary word, “zhi(止)” corresponds to “yi(矣).” Besides, the form of “zhi(止)” is quite different from that of “zhi(之)”, so “zhi(止)” is unlikely to have evolved from “zhi(之)”.

On Reference and Cohesion

In the study of textlinguistics,cohesion is one important subject. According Halliday and Hasan,cohesion can be achieved through two ways. One is lexical cohesion and the other is grammatical cohesion. Reference is one of the most important devices in grammatical cohesion. It can be divided into personal reference,demonstrative reference,and comparative reference. Some of these references can be used as cataphora,some can be used as anaphora and some can be used as both. Analysis and explanation as well as examples are provided in this paper to facilitate the reader's understanding and use of reference.

产业融合视角下的现代农业示范区规划——兼论其旅游功能的拓展(英文)

Features of agritourism emerging in the development of modern agriculture were analyzed, it was stressed that industrial convergence was a basic feature of modern agriculture, and modern agriculture was the integration of agriculture, science and technology, integration of agriculture, industry and trade, and integration of rural and urban areas. Agritourism was believed as the optimal carrier of expanding functions of modern agriculture combining agriculture, ecology and tourism industry. From such perspectives, causes for the loss of tourist functions in the development of agricultural demonstration zone were identified as 5 aspects, specifically including various planners from diverse fields; no any technical standard for the planning, or systematic planning theory and technique; many individual planning cases with poor applicability; no innovative idea brought into the tourism project planning; the loss of cultures in new tourist products. After proposing key points in the expansion planning of tourist functions, this research pointed out 4 countermeasures, i.e. (1) design concepts should be changed; (2) planning functions should be reoriented to match service facility planning with laws of tourism development and properly design tourist projects; (3) landscaping planning should be focused on; and (4) eco-environment protection and brand building should be enhanced.
