Gold box bucket bottom slot hall-type building is a kind of the highest rank traditional architecture in China. Under the horizontal inertia force, post partial pendulum and the weight of roof make it reset, as a result, it formed a phenomenon —it is on high level but does not fall (high tumbler). When stigma swing, then cap block move. When the friction was eliminated between flower arm and cap block, relative displacement occurs and we call it “soft neck role”. "The phenomenon of high tumbler" and "soft neck" .These two factors determine the excellent seismic performance of the lifted building

This study investigated the relationship between “Chinese elegant ideology" and environmental mobilization to explore a new possibility of consciousness awakening for environmental protection. The author considered the life posture of scholar-emits in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It conveyed a demand for the inheritance of ideas and civilizations as well as elegant and sustainable life orientation. The study will further identify the ideological and spiritual guidance and practical demonstration of cultural ideology for environmental movements by considering the causes and influential factors of environmental mobilization in modern society. It is supposed to get a trade-off between natural integration and social integration. The given elegant life dynamics of the Tang and Song Dynasty will construct an interaction between nature and mainstream human social behavior, which dramatically reduces the segregation and contradiction between social and natural integration. This study will advocate a sustainable and contracted "new form" that appeals to human spirits by studying the selection of the scholar-emits in the Tang and Song dynasties.

The depletion of traditional organic energy sources and aggravated environmental problems are the reasons why the level of energy efficiency is an important factor in the competitiveness of the national economy. Russia ranks third in the world in terms of total energy consumption and its economy is distinguished by a high level of energy intensity (amount of energy per unit of GDP). In 2019, this figure was 9.62 tons of oil equivalent (toe) per 1 million rubles, which is 40% higher than the world average. The low energy efficiency of the Russian economy is a widely recognized problem. A special decree of the Government of Russia in 2018 sets the task of increasing the level of energy efficiency of the Russian economy by 23% by 2030. One of the ways to solve this problem is the development of nuclear energy, and increasing the competitiveness of nuclear energy is one of the key issues for the national economy. In this connection, solving the problem of assessing the competitiveness of the nuclear industry and its leading companies occupies a key place among the practical scientific problems, the solution of which is facilitated by the results presented by the authors in this article. Rosenergoatom Concern JSC is the leading energy generating company in the Russian nuclear industry. The results of the study of the competitiveness of Rosenergoatom Concern JSC were obtained on the basis of the authors’ methodology for assessing the competitiveness of an energy generating company. The novelty of the presented methodology lies in the developed normative and evaluative model and the coefficients of competitiveness of an energy generating company. The advantages of the authors’ model are that it allows (1) obtaining integral assessments of the competitiveness of a power generating company at short time intervals for a large number of indicators and (2) quantitatively measuring the effects of different factors on the competitiveness of a power generating company, provided that the grouping of indicators of competitiveness of a power generating company is justified by influencing factors. The two factors considered by the authors were: the general market factor and the industry factor. According to the results of the study, it was found that Rosenergoatom Concern JSC demonstrates positive increase of the competitiveness indicator mainly due to the industry factor. With this regard, it was concluded that, within the framework of state policy, it is advisable to strengthen support for the Russian nuclear industry by creating additional conditions and opportunities for its energy generating companies on the domestic energy market.

Stock trading activities are always very popular in many countries. Generally, investors with various backgrounds have different preferences over the stocks they trade. In literature, a number of studies examine the institutions' holding preferences for certain stock characteristics when choosing the security portfolio. However, very few studies investigate the stock trading preferences of individual investors. In this paper, we focus on two factors which affect the portfolio choices of investors, which are stock characteristics and investor features. In particular, a self-organizing map (SOM) is used to group a certain number of clusters based on a chosen dataset. Then, the decision tree model is used to extract useful rules from the clusters which contain the most trading records in the sample. We find that if the investors are females, less wealthy, and make stock trades with lower frequencies, they will be more careful and conservative. On the other hand, if the investors are males, having a high level of wealth, and make stock trades very often, they tend to choose stocks with high EPS, high market-to-book, and high prices.

Few studies have been conducted on whether the coexistence of green innovation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a favorable interaction effect on firm value. This interaction effect is of great significance for enterprises balancing resource allocation between two factors in the future. Meanwhile, information disclosure can reflect the efforts of enterprises in taking on CSR. Therefore, taking China’s listed companies as an example, this paper studies the interaction effect of CSR after being divided into the three different dimensions of environment, society, and governance (ESG) and green innovation on firm value. The quantile regression method can reflect the impact of CSR and green innovation on the firm value of different levels. The study finds that: (1) green innovation can promote the improvement of medium- and high-level firm value; (2) only the disclosure of environmental and social information can have a positive impact on firm value; (3) the interaction effect between green innovation and social disclosure on firm value is a substitution effect, which will gradually weaken with the increase of firm value. This paper proposes that relevant departments should guide green funds into enterprises with capital constraints to alleviate the issue of fund crowding into CSR and green innovation.

Abstract Aberrant activation of the TALE (three-amino-acid loop extension) homeobox gene MEIS1 is frequently observed in acute leukemia. A high level of Meis1 expression shortens the latency, as well as accelerates the onset and progression of acute myeloid leukemia in mice. Although available data support the notion that MEIS1 is oncogenic by means of overexpression rather than mutation, the molecular mechanism underlying persistent activation of this gene in leukemia remains poorly understood. We have identified a distal enhancer (designated EX) at the MEIS1 locus and found that MEIS1 itself and HOXA9 synergistically activate the regulatory activity of EX through a conserved DNA motif. Using comparative genomics-based strategies, we computationally predicted 14 putative enhancer DNA elements in the 1300 Kb MEIS1 locus. We confirmed that the human sequences of 6 of these 14 elements showed enhancer function as they were able to direct GFP expression in a spatiotemporal manner during embryonic hematopoiesis in an in vivo transgenic zebrafish assay. To explore whether these 6 elements play a role in regulating MEIS1 expression in human leukemia, we examined the presence of histone modifications that are associated with gene activation in a panel of 8 leukemia cell lines. In MEIS1-expressing cells, but not MEIS1 transcript-negative cell lines, the genomic region corresponding to enhancer EX showed extensive H3K4 mono-methylation (me1H3K4), a hallmark of active distal enhancers. When endogenous MEIS1 expression decreases during cellular differentiation, the active histone mark me1H3K4 was replaced by repressive H3K27 methylation and the associated EZH2 polycomb protein at the EX region. In murine leukemia models, retroviral integration at the Meis1 locus has been shown to result in overexpression of Meis1 leading to development of AML. Strikingly, we found that viral integration frequently occurred within the genomic sequence corresponding to enhancer EX. Collectively, these data suggest that enhancer EX plays an important role in maintaining high level expression of endogenous MEIS1 in transformed leukemic cells. In an effort to identify the molecular basis underlying the observed regulatory function of EX, we found MEIS1 and HOXA9 synergistically stimulate the enhancer activity of EX in reporter gene assays, suggesting that production of MEIS1 protein can reinforce its own expression. Mutation of a conserved site within the enhancer abolished the ability of these two factors to activate reporter gene expression. Using ChIP (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation), we further demonstrated that MEIS1 and HOXA9 specifically bind to the genomic region containing the conserved site in vivo, and the presence of these two factors in the region is associated with active MEIS1 expression. These studies provide insight on the molecular mechanisms controlling transcription regulation of MEIS1, suggesting that overexpression of MEIS1 in acute leukemia is sustained by an autoregulatory loop mediated through a distal enhancer element.

: The current study aimed at validating the 26-item Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation scale (SL-ASIA) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in first-generation young adult Middle Eastern (ME) migrants, and also exploring the agreement between the outcomes of linear and orthogonal approaches of acculturation using SL-ASIA. The CFA and convergent and discriminant validity measures were employed to validate the original linear SL-ASIA and the subsequently designed orthogonal SL-ASIA for first-generation young adult ME migrants in Australia (n = 382). Cohen’s Kappa coefficient was used to measure the agreement between classifications obtained by the linear and orthogonal methods of measuring acculturation. The CFAs of the initial six-factor 21-item linear scale and the two-factor five-item orthogonal scale indicated poor fits. However, after model specification and validation, satisfactory fit and validity indices were achieved for the modified scales. The validated linear SL-ASIA comprised five factors and 15 items, and the validated orthogonal SL-ASIA comprised two factors and four items. The Kappa coefficient showed a high level of consistency between the linear and orthogonal models of acculturation, confirming that the use of either scale can lead to similar research outcomes. The study also supports the use of the validated linear and/or orthogonal scales to measure acculturation. This finding responds to the existing gap in the literature that until now, no acculturation scale is validated for ME migrants, and also no study is conducted to validate the orthogonal SL-ASIA.
