Seawater desalination of arid regions:comparing the policy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia

Problems with clean water in coastal areas alongside an increase in population and community economic activities have diversified community activities.Coastal settlements bordering the high seas are characterized as arid areas with a lack of clean water.Here,the use of the range groundwater supply against seawater intrusion means that the water consumed by the community tastes salty and brackish.The availability of abundant seawater,processed through desalination technology,can be used to meet the daily clean water needs of coastal communities.Sustainable development goal(SDG)6 Water and Sanitation is concerned with ensuring that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation.In this regard,desalination technology is considered viable to achieve the SDGs in the environmental sector.Some countries have focused on using desalination technology to achieve target 6.4 by 2030.This goal aims to improve the efficiency of water use to reduce the number of people experiencing clean water scarcity by ensuring a sustainable supply of fresh water.The objective of this study is to examine the application of seawater desalination technology for clean water in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia(KSA)and Indonesia,and identify the implications of desalination policies in these countries.Comparative studies were conducted using secondary data and literature studies on transforming seawater into clean water with technology.KSA applies seawater desalination technology to meet water needs.However,in Indonesia,policymaking has not holistically examined the potential of using seawater desalination technology for clean water.Until now,unlike in the KSA,Indonesia has not addressed the importance of the use of desalination technology in state policy.

Research on the Audio Publishing of Classical Books Based on the Theory of Business Model Canvas: Taking Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Digital Audio Platforms as an Example

Visual media have dominated sensory communications for decades,and the resulting“visual hegemony”leads to the call for the“auditory return”in order to achieve a holistic balance in cultural acceptance.Romance of the Three Kingdoms,a classic literary work in China,has received significant attention and promotion from leading audio platforms.However,the commercialization of digital audio publishing faces unprecedented challenges due to the mismatch between the dissemination of long-form content on digital audio platforms and the current trend of short and fast information reception.Drawing on the Business Model Canvas Theory and taking Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the main focus of analysis,this paper argues that the construction of a business model for the audio publishing of classical books should start from three aspects:the user evaluation of digital audio platforms,the establishment of value propositions based on the“creative transformation and innovative development”principle,and the improvement of the audio publishing infrastructure to ensure the healthy operation and development of the digital audio platforms and consequently improve their current state of development and expand the boundaries of cultural heritage.

The Dissemination, Acceptance and Evolution of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Japan

As one of the Four Great Masterpieces of China,The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become a landmark of ancient Chinese literature with vivid and profound character images,ups and downs of politics and war descriptions,and appealing historical plots.After being introduced to Japan in the second half of the 17th century,it was spread in Japanese society and was accepted for literary value,social needs and other reasons,then a series of evolutions were produced by combining with local culture,eventually becoming a national culture in Japan.This paper selects the most popular text of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms with 24 chapters and 120 verses in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty,and the Japanese translation of The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms published by Hunan Wenshan in 1689 as the objects,guided by Ralph Linton’s“Manifestation,Selection,Integration”cultural communication research method,to analyze the dissemination,acceptance and evolution of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in 17-20 centuries’Japan,which started from the field of literature,then combined with various cultural forms and spread to the civic class,and finally entered politics area and produced a series of evolutions under the influence of Japanese values to become the representative culture of Japan.This paper suggests that in today’s world of frequent cultural exchanges,China should,based on strengthening cultural self-confidence,actively and appropriately select and accept foreign cultures with the attitude of prioritizing our own culture and utilizing foreign culture for our own purposes.The research outcome can provide experience for the current Chinese culture to go to the world with high quality.

针对洪水标准选用及应对气候变化适应性政策制定问题,系统调研欧美亚典型发达国家在该领域的研究及应用成果,从工程设计洪水标准和流域洪水管理标准等角度综述美国、荷兰、英国和日本洪水标准的制定政策,从气候变化对设计暴雨/洪水的影响角度分析总结英国和日本在应对气候变化上的适应性对策。建议在洪水标准及气候适应对策研究中抛弃单纯依据大坝尺寸确定洪水标准的方式,基于动态发展及整体-局部互馈关联视角,兼顾气候变化对暴雨洪水的影响,从洪水潜在危害及风险角度出发,制定相应的政策规范。本综述可为我国新时期洪水标准选用规则及适应气候变化策略的制定提供参考。

“王国文明”时期江淮地区冶铜业发展阶段研究

文章通过对近年来江淮地区夏商周时期聚落和矿冶遗址考古资料和相关历史文献的梳理研究,认为“王国文明”时期江淮地区冶铜业的发展可分为三个阶段:夏王朝时期铜基冶金的建立、商王朝时期冶铜术的垄断和周王朝时期冶铜术的扩散。淮夷至少在西周时期已经掌握了冶铜术,历史上所谓“江南金锡”“吴越金锡”和“南金”应不仅指长江以南所出,还应包括整个江淮地区的铜产品。江淮地区既有广泛的铜矿开采和青铜冶铸活动,就不仅仅是东南金锡入贡或交易的一条通道。如果冶铜术经由欧亚大陆传播至中原地区,江淮地区冶铜术应由中原王朝主导,经由中原地区传入。

从“学徒制”到“场景化”:英国博士生跨学科联合培养的实践探索

博士生培养模式对保障博士生教育质量、助力拔尖创新人才培养具有重要价值。自中世纪开始,英国便以“精英式”高等教育享誉全球。然而,英国现代意义上的博士生教育滞后于大多数欧美国家,精致的“学徒制”被当作博士生培养的主要模式。随着博士生教育质量的内部诉求与外部问责,英国政府逐步意识到传统“学徒制”模式不再适用新时代博士生培养,开始积极探索新型博士生培养模式。目前,英国政府、大学、企业与其他社会组织形成博士生培养共同体。一方面,英国依托完备的政策制度、成熟的组织体系与充足的资金保障,搭建起稳固坚实的博士生育人“场”;另一方面,英国通过贯通型协同培养、高精度课程整合、导师共享型指导与交往参与式活动,营造了动态灵活的博士生培养“景”。可以说,英国初步构建了助力博士生教育高质量发展的全面“场景化”培养模式。

历史迭转中“同治中兴”诗歌的众声与别调

咸同时期,内忧外患的社会变局迫使士人乱极思治、危世图存。以治世为理想的士人援引历代治乱之道,属望中兴。诗人的中兴书写,以同治改元与同治三四年间江南克复两度达到高潮,被赋予了强烈的政治寓意:前一节点的中兴书写重在激励,以稳民心;后一节点重在歌咏,以庆中兴。在书写中兴之局时,亦有诗人创作了一些针砭现实之作,这构成了中兴诗歌写作中的别调。这些别调之音在咸同、光绪的迭代中呈现出不同的内容倾向,前一时期侧重于中兴之局的名不副实,而后一时期倾向于通过回忆中兴之局针砭现实。诗人对同治中兴的书写,不管是众声还是别调,都是现实境况的一体两面,既展现了诗人于变局下的盛世夙愿,亦体现了他们藉作品讽谕现实的济世情怀。

重塑族望:“陆忠”释义与陆绩《周易注》

孙吴时期,吴郡陆氏由“土豪旧族”跨入“高门鼎贵”之列,其根本动因并不在陆氏一族仕途显赫,而在于陆绩被东吴本土旧族视为与孙氏保持某种身份独立和有限度合作的精神象征。这种身份标识的形成,既有陆绩一生的悲剧色彩为底蕴,又有陆氏学行二端的分量为保证,更有当时士人清议和政治舆论场域的推波助澜,从而让“陆忠”之目成为陆氏族望的新标志。晋时,陆机、陆云的遭遇与秉承陆绩之志的陆瑁一支,恰成鲜明对比,无疑加重了陆氏余脉对陆绩兼举离政之道和重学之德这一立场的固守和执着。或者说,六朝陆氏族望的新原点,就在于陆绩学、行二端特别是陆氏《周易注》的微言大义当中。

三星堆新发现对认识中华远古文明的启示

三星堆新发现,在中国早期文明认识领域掀起轩然大波。面对诸多的未知,怎样看待三星堆新发现?它对认识中华远古文明带来什么启示?这颇值得深思。三星堆新发现拓展了我们认识中国早期文明的视野,但也带来严峻挑战。对于认识中华远古文明,它至少带来三个重要启示:一,在中华远古文明领域,我们尚有太多未知,为此我们须保持审慎、谦逊和敬意。二,中华文明在源头上并非整齐划一,而存在较大区域差异和多样性,这种差异和多样性以及多姿多彩,恰恰构成中华文明体系的博大精深,也赋予其强大生命力和顽强韧性。三,巫术礼仪是中华文明的源头,如何破译远古先民巫术礼仪背后的神性思维逻辑,可能是我们理解中华远古文明的一把钥匙。

圣域重构——《法雍之书》与“消失的‘迷宫’”

对于古典作家而言,“东方”几乎是一个无可或缺的镜像,而埃及则在相当程度上既是整个东方想象的核心,亦是其重要的异例。在他们笔下,一座“消失的‘迷宫’”便颇为引人注目,甚至一度令古老的金字塔都相形见绌。伴随着19世纪旨在重寻克诺索斯迷宫的克里特考古勃兴,对于这座埃及典范的探索热情亦高涨起来。然而,即使皮特里等埃及学家皆相继宣称在哈瓦拉发现了这座“迷宫”,但可资确证的古埃及文献寥寥无几,在被视为古代埃及“地图”的《法雍之书》中,更似乎是全然不见这一庞大建筑群之踪影。但事实上,“迷宫”恰恰就是物质化了的《法雍之书》,而《法雍之书》也即是文本化乃至“正典化”了的“迷宫”,共同体现出中王国末期古埃及人围绕法雍地区所构建的神圣景观与世界想象,是同一理念的不同载体。由此,神圣王权、法雍地区的索贝克崇拜与整个埃及世界遂得以融为一体,重新创造出一个崭新的、法雍化了的“世界”。在这个世界中,索贝克是统御一切信仰的信仰,不仅在世俗和现实的意义上整合着埃及各处,而且还通过法雍这一载体,将关乎世界的想象首次具象化、实体化、正典化,从而深入到每一个人的内心之中。

重谈汉初豫章郡地望及沿革

传统观点以为,汉初豫章郡属淮南国,在今赣南。仔细梳理西汉文献所记汉初史事,豫章郡应属吴国,在今皖南。豫章郡因治于故鄣县,又名“故鄣郡”。魏晋时期,讹“故鄣郡”为“鄣郡”。汉初豫章郡先后属楚王韩信、荆王刘贾、吴王刘濞。《史记》所记淮南王英布、长沙王吴芮领有豫章郡乃“虚封”。景帝三年,汉廷将豫章郡一分为二,北部并入江都国;南部与庐江郡合并,改称“庐江豫章郡”。传世汉代封泥“庐江豫守”,即“庐江豫章郡守”,而非以往认为的庐江国豫章郡守。景、武之际,江淮之间另立庐江郡,汉廷更庐江豫章郡为豫章郡。元封二年,武帝从豫章郡中分置丹阳郡,豫章郡从此仅辖赣江流域,遂有《汉书·地理志》之规模。
