Historical Examination

A theoretical imagination of the world order and global landscape is necessary for China’s international communication. ‘Empire – nation state’, the dominant structure in the contemporary world entails the logic of imperialism. However, the perspective of ‘the world’ (Tianxia; 天下) in ancient China introduced alternative theoretical challenges. Chinese scholars have been devoted to developing a vision of a society of ‘Great Unity’ (Datong; 大同) over the past century. Based on historical exanimation, this article aims to explore new approaches of China’s international communication.

Lost In Translation

The purpose of this article is to consider the promise and problems of the globalization of research for nurses and other healthcare professionals. Over the past decade, there has been an impressive increase in research activity in many regions of the world, such as in several of the Asian countries. This increasing capacity to conduct research and create innovations has great promise for shared health, prosperity, and well-being, but it also has some significant problems and limitations that are often not reported. One area of research that has drawn considerable international research attention is aging and longevity. In the United States, there is much to learn from the work of international colleagues in terms of clinical application; it is unclear how generalizable the findings are or, in other words, what may be lost in translation.

AbstractOver the past several decades, the Hmong communities scattered around the world and their co-ethnic Miao ethnic group in China came into close contact. This paper explores the nature and dynamics of this encounter as well as the connections and ties that have been rediscovered and reestablished between the Hmong in diaspora and the Miao in China, two groups long separated by time and distance, and the impact and implications this entails. Based on three-month fieldwork in the Hmong/Miao communities across Southwest China and Southeast Asia, this paper examines the ever increasing movement of people and materials, as well as symbolic flows on the one hand, and connections and linkages between different localities on the other hand. It discusses how this new fast-changing development contributes to a new translocal imagination of Hmong community, re-territorialization of a new continuous Hmong space, a Hmongland encompassing Southwest provinces of China and northern part of Southeast Asian countries, and what it means to the Hmong/Miao people in the region. It further discusses how the emerging translocal imagination of the Hmong/Miao community will produce unique translocal subjects and how it interacts with the nation-states they belong to.

Since food is considered important in the world, the current study analyzed the characteristics of scientific publications based on several subtle indicators of scientometrics in the field of food economics for strengthening public health in the future. Accordingly, a total of 26306 publications from 1915 to 2021 are evaluated based on the Scopus database with the help of scientific tools such as Hitcite, Biblioshiny and VoS viewer. The results show that the resourcefulness experts are identified in terms of their publication only, that namely Drewnowski, Kesselheim. On the other hand, the author Popkini is considered as the key author rather than the above-said authors in terms of global citations. The similarity in the above context is that all the topmost authors belong to the USA. More importantly, the summary of citations in total publication output is revealed that a single paper is recorded the range of citations between 1042-2766, the 500 citations are recorded from the 64 papers, and 844 papers accounted with more than 100 citations.

Do So

Globally, elderly population keeps increasing in numbers. Since 2015, Asian countries including Indonesia began entering ageing population. Humankind predicted to live longer. Nonetheless, they are mortal. Humankind is called Dasein (being in the world). The world is a concept, relationship between ourselves and objects or other human beings. Basically Dasein is actively involved with everyday objects. The essence of Dasein is it's active interpreting (constantly something to be settled) seeing as Dasein cannot be considered a finished whole, Dasein always looking for identity. Dasein’s being as a whole can only be disclosed by Dasein being dead, for they no longer exist in the world. According to 2005 Stanford research, the majority of elderly prefer contributing to society, and 30% proven to do so. The latest stage of man emotional development experienced by elderly, individually older than the age 60. Interacting with the younger generation would result in greater contentment and benefits each other. By providing a space to encounter other people with different ages, hopefully there will be exchange of experience, a legacy of life. Through the Horizon Senior Society, millennial generations can explore a dwelling story from the past to the present and the future.  Keywords:  Elderly; Death; Interaction; Dwelling. Abstrak Secara global, populasi lansia diprediksi terus mengalami peningkatan. Sejak tahun 2015 Benua Asia dan Indonesia memasuki era penduduk menua. Diprediksi manusia akan hidup lebih lama lagi. Manusia disebut sebagai Dasein (Ada-di-sana), yakni Ada-dalam-dunia (being-in-the-world). Dunia merupakan konsep dimensi hubungan antar diri sendiri dengan benda atau manusia lain. Dasein pada dasarnya terlibat secara aktif dengan objek keseharian. Esensi Dasein adalah suatu 'kebeluman terus menerus' karena ia tidak pernah mencapai keseluruhannya, selalu mewujudkan dan mencari jati diri. Manusia mencapai totalitasnya dalam kematian, karena manusia/dasein berhenti sebagai berada-di-dalam-dunia. Menurut riset Stanford tahun 2005, mayoritas lansia memilih untuk berkontribusi terhadap masyarakat, dan terbukti 30% sudah menjalaninya. Tahap akhir pengembangan emosi manusia dirasakan pada lansia umur 60 tahun ke atas. Berinteraksi dengan generasi muda akan memberi dampak rasa kepuasan yang lebih besar dan saling menguntungkan. Dengan memberikan wadah sebagai titik temu antar generasi, diharapkan terjadi sebuah transfer pengalaman akan legacy kehidupan. Melalui Horizon Senior Society, generasi milenial dapat menggali sebuah cerita dwelling masa lalu, ke masa kini dan masa depan.

Instrument Control

Advances in camera technology and digital instrument control have meant that in modern microscopy, the image that was, in the past, typically recorded on a piece of film is now recorded directly into a computer. The transfer of the analog image seen in the microscope to the digitized picture in the computer does not mean, however, that the problems associated with recording images, analyzing them, and preparing them for publication, have all miraculously been solved. The steps involved in the recording an image to film remain largely intact in the digital world. The image is recorded, prepared for measurement in some way, analyzed, and then prepared for presentation.Digital image acquisition schemes are largely the realm of the microscope manufacturers, however, there are also a multitude of “homemade” acquisition systems in microscope laboratories around the world. It is not the mission of this tutorial to deal with the various acquisition systems, but rather to introduce the novice user to rudimentary image processing and measurement.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

On the Symbolism of Rain in A Farewell to Arms

Farewell To Arms

This paper critically analyzes the symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929). The researcher has applied the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis as a research tool for the analysis of the text. This hypothesis argues that the languages spoken by a person determine how one observes this world and that the peculiarities encoded in each language are all different from one another. It affirms that speakers of different languages reflect the world in pretty different ways. Hemingway’s symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929) is denotative, connotative, and ironical. The narrator and protagonist, Frederick Henry symbolically embodies his own perceptions about the world around him. He time and again talks about rain when something embarrassing is about to ensue like disease, injury, arrest, retreat, defeat, escape, and even death. Secondly, Hemingway has connotatively used rain as a cleansing agent for washing the past memories out of his mind. Finally, the author has ironically used rain as a symbol when Henry insists on his love with Catherine Barkley while the latter being afraid of the rain finds herself dead in it.

The Way

The world-wide use of scleral contact lenses has dramatically increased over the past 10 year and has changed the way that we manage patients with corneal irregularity. Successfully fitting them can be challenging especially for eyes that have significant asymmetries of the cornea or sclera. The future of scleral lens fitting is utilizing corneo-scleral topography to accurately measure the anterior ocular surface and then using software to design lenses that identically match the scleral surface and evenly vault the cornea. This process allows the practitioner to efficiently fit a customized scleral lens that successfully provides the patient with comfortable wear and improved vision.

National Borders

Over the past century, democracy spread around the world in turbulent bursts of change, sweeping across national borders in dramatic cascades of revolution and reform. This book offers a new global-oriented explanation for this wavelike spread and retreat—not only of democracy but also of its twentieth-century rivals, fascism, and communism. The book argues that waves of regime change are driven by the aftermath of cataclysmic disruptions to the international system. These hegemonic shocks, marked by the sudden rise and fall of great powers, have been essential and often-neglected drivers of domestic transformations. Though rare and fleeting, they not only repeatedly alter the global hierarchy of powerful states but also create unique and powerful opportunities for sweeping national reforms—by triggering military impositions, swiftly changing the incentives of domestic actors, or transforming the basis of political legitimacy itself. As a result, the evolution of modern regimes cannot be fully understood without examining the consequences of clashes between great powers, which repeatedly—and often unsuccessfully—sought to cajole, inspire, and intimidate other states into joining their camps.
