Have configuration effects driven the coordinated enhancement of green energy system development in China and “Belt and Road” countries?–A qualitative comparative analysis based on panel data

Based on system theory and the configuration perspective, this study uses the panel data-based qualitative comparison (PD-QCA) method in R and the panel data of the energy systems of China and the ‘Belt and Road’ countries from 1998 to 2020 to analyze the driving factors that affect the green development of energy systems in various countries and the configuration effect on the vertical axis of time and its synergistic promotion path. The research results show that： (1) the driving factors for the green development of the energy systems in various countries are characterized by multiple synergies and the same goals. Factors such as the energy supply side, demand side and basic development level cannot be the necessary conditions for the green development of the energy structure alone, and it is necessary to give full play to the synergy among various factors; (2) in the sufficiency analysis, seven configuration paths are found for collaboratively driving the green development of the energy system, which can be further refined into energy supply-driven, supply-demand-driven, demand-technology-driven and supply-demand-technology-driven paths; (3) capital input, the labour supply level, government support, technological innovation and the environmental regulation level constitute the core driving factors of the green development of energy systems, and there is a potential substitution relationship between capital input and environmental regulation levels.；(4) In the temporal dimension, the Chow breakpoint test verified that the countries along the “Belt and Road Initiative” had a sense of green development to energy after 2013; in the spatial dimension, the implementation effects of each collaborative path showed obvious regional applicability differences.

Ego State Trip or Ego State Trap: Unlocking Change Through Language

The article introduces a proposal for a linguistic model that combines the concepts of linguistic determinism from Sapir-Whorf, linguistic constructivism from Delia, and transactional analysis. Assuming that thinking and feeling are dependent on language structure, we can create a matrix representing our understanding of reality, distributed between ego states on an axis of time to which particular transactions refer. This matrix can be utilised to further work with clients, providing a direction for enquiry. Exploring transactions in this way promotes a movement to the meta-communication level, which, in turn, aids clients to develop their Integrating Adult. The article presented a brief analysis of work with clients in terms of the ego state timeline model (ESTM) with reflections on the significance of language in shaping one’s frame of reference, illustrated with practical examples of application.

Historical Interpretation and Modern Analysis of Mao Zedong's on the Ten Relationships based on the Construction of Socialist Road with Chinese Characteristics

As Mao Zedong's representative ideological work, On the Ten Relationships has not been practiced and tested in Chinese society, but it still plays an important role in guiding the development of China's development in terms of ideology and theory. In addition to studying and exploring the historical background at that time, this paper also carries out a comprehensive analysis and exploration of some of Mao's personal problems, especially in the interpretation of the "On the Ten Relationships" article by article, which is connected to some of the social events. In terms of research methodology, this paper mainly adopts the reverse reasoning of logic of thought as the method of reverse research, in addition to the use of the main axis of time and causal variables as a mixed analysis.

Quests for a Change of Territories: Forms of Dystopia and Transfiction in La autopista: the movie, by Jorge Enrique Lage

The Cuban literary tradition is closely linked to the idea of a “national literature,” reducing narrative to a specific axis of space and time. The authors of the so-called Generación Zero (Generation Zero) experiment with the elements of this “national literature,” or, Literature-Nation (Aguilera 2002), and de-territorialize narrative while working with its tropes. Departing from the idea of ‘transfiction’ (Aguilera 2015) and the idea that utopia is not only referring to a time and space, but also to a genre, I will analyse the novel La autopista: the movie (2015), by Jorge Enrique Lage from that perspective. The novel stretches the binary between utopic and dystopic fiction articulating an ambiguous future that the present article explores through the narrative possibilities of the (trans)generic, (trans)spatial, and (trans)temporal. While easy to conceive of this novel as dystopic, futuristic, and apocalyptic text, it rejects the limits of space, time, and the dystopic genre. The article thus invites a re-thinking of the role of literature in the Cuban tradition as merely representative of territory or nation.

Going beyond boundaries: A collaborative autoethnographic study of three teachers’ negotiation of cognitive/emotional dissonances

Teachers undergo various cognitive/emotional dissonances along their professional journeys. These dissonances may provide growth points for teachers to develop further if they receive responsive mediation, which guides them toward the higher levels of professional development. Thus, understanding how these dissonances interact with contexts along the axis of time and place plays an important role in charting teachers’ developmental trajectories and providing relevant mediation for them. Using collaborative autoethnography (CAE), this study delves into the cognitive/emotional dissonances of three teachers at different career stages across various geographic locations, and investigates what institutional, geographical, or socioeconomic factors facilitate or impede their efforts to resolve these dissonances. A thematic analysis of biweekly individual multimodal narratives and meeting transcripts over 16 months revealed three strands of cognitive-emotional dissonances involved in teaching practices, transnational movement, and institutional and socioeconomic precarity. The present inquiry provides three important lessons regarding the ways in which teachers in liminal spaces can receive relevant responsive mediations. First, it is necessary to build a network of teachers that goes beyond their immediate institutional environment. Second, teacher identity development needs to be understood as a dynamic nexus of domain-specific phenomena and a whole person enterprise encompassing multiple sociocultural dimensions along their lifelong journey. Third, CAE itself can be a way of (re)connecting with fellow teachers and function as a safe place for addressing contingent cognitive/emotional dissonances and encouraging mutual growth. This suggests that the mediation-enabling, space-making power of CAE needs to be examined further in various contexts, such as graduate training or professional development programs.

It’s about time: some notes on quantum history

ABSTRACT The insistence on anachronism, where contemporary migrants forge the unauthorised routes of a present-day underground railroad, not only provides us with another means to map the present. It also reopens a past considered dead, gone, forgotten, and buried. Then, to think of migrants as travellers, is to underline the arbitrary imposition of ‘illegality’ and returns us to the violence that suffocates mobility despite its structural centrality to the making of the modern world over the last five hundred years. If we were to shift the axis of chronological time 180°, we could then move into the depths to sift its sediments and register the stratifications of the past in the continuing constitution of the present. Time is no longer assumed as a linear flow into the future or place merely a material given. Both are socially produced and culturally configured. This means they can be reconfigured and respond to other coordinates and concerns. In considering the modern migrant as the seeming epitome of the historical present, we encounter all the shifting dynamics and subaltern complexities of time and space as it is suspended, stretched, and twisted by institutional controls and documentation and further deepened by resistance and clandestine movement.

A Model of Time Representation in the Nineteenth Century: The Spaces for Written Culture in <em>Diary of a tour in Sweden, Norway and Russia, in 1827 with letters</em> by Lady Elizabeth Mary Grosvenor, Marchioness of Westminster

This article aims to rebuild, from a specific case such as the analysis of the Diary of a tour in Sweden, Norway and Russia, in 1827 with letters by Lady Elizabeth Mary Grosvenor, the way in which a social group belonging to the nineteenth century, the nobility, offered in written form, in our case the formula of the diary with interspersed letters, one of the basic dimensions of its exis- tence as a society: the time, its social organization and the different facets in which that time has been recorded in writing. Thus, by intervening the axis of time, and based on various documentary sources, we will review visits to educational institutions; entertainment and leisure linked to theatre and music; sending and receiving correspondence; the acquisition of books and writing supports and the synchronous time in relation to Genealogy and History reflected on the pages of this diary. All this from the methodological perspective of the studies of Social History of the Written Culture in connection with Gender studies.

THE ART OF HUMAN PARTICIPATION AGAINST ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SYSTEM IN THE TOURISM INDUSTRY

Art is an integral part of human life. The development of the tourism industry is very important for developing countries that are facing problems such as high unemployment rate, distorted international image, limited foreign exchange resources and a single product economy, mainly oil. Today, the importance of the tourism industry, which is considered an investment in countries, is not hidden from anyone. This capital is measured based on the general health of that area and will be considered as the basis for tourists’ decision-making for the destination as a tourism goal. Among these, psychological events are also significant. Compliance with the points mentioned in tourism is mandatory for a society. Time and its management are among the most important things that play a major role in increasing or decreasing stress. People have different solutions for their decisions according to different conditions. In today’s artificial intelligence world, it is felt everywhere that humans have entrusted many activities to it, but we must know what the consequences are. The spatial information system has put time and space together in one axis. Transtemporal issues and events that are formed around the axis of time, such as time management, are one of the basic challenges of today’s humanity, and on the other hand, spatial issues are considered an integral part of human life. Therefore, real-time GIS is increasingly associated with innovation. The continuation of this research can be related to all industrial and money-making sectors of a region. which shows the importance of this industry in the continuation of urban development. In this research, the maps of a region have been examined as a case to show the importance of people’s choice and their participation. In this study, NPGIS is introduced in a general way that enhances space-time-location interaction. In the results of the research, time and its related criteria show their key role and show the intermingling of spatial sciences with tourism.

Timely Development: Visualizing Children’s Growth and Potential

Children’s growth has long been measured against the axis of time. Yet anthropometric indexes such as age for height measurements do not simply mark the passage of time and associated growth but themselves indicate “norms” that stand as markers of potential. Charting changing modes of representing the problem of children’s growth over the 20th century and into the 21st, this paper attends to visual technologies that distribute potential unevenly around the world, asking what is at stake in making children’s growth and development visible, and whose potential is affirmed in the process?

Mythologization of The Goddess Mazu: Readings through Spacial Setting and Activity in the Interior of Cu An Kiong Temple

This study aims to understand the myth of the Goddess Mazu in Lasem City, Central Java. The research was conducted by observing the interior space at Cu An Kiong (CAK), the oldest temple in Lasem City. This study uses a verbal communication approach from Rapoport (1982) and a cultural approach from Koentjaraningrat (2015) to explore human relations with their environment and explain phenomena that exist in the research object. The research found that there is an exaltation space in this Mazu temple; this space is placed on the axis of space and time, it is to see the meaning of the space that has been built is practiced by the whole community, both the Chinese and the Javanese ethnicities, in a continuous flow of time from the first time the temple was built until now, as well as providing an interpretation of the phenomenon which are actually happened in Lasem. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the exaltation space shows the mythical practice of the Goddess Mazu by the local community, both Chinese and Javanese ethnicities. The mythology of Goddess Mazu, or Mak Co, is the protector of fishermen, sailorman, and common people in Lasem.

퇴직한 교육행정직 공무원의 생애사 연구

Objectives This study is to understand what the personal and professional life course of education administrative officials who retired after working for decades in an organization called school, how those life course affect life after retirement, and how they prepare for life after retirement. Through this, the purpose is to provide an opportunity to recognize educational administrative officials as partners to achieve educational purposes, and to obtain theoretical and practical implications for our lives living in the age of 100.
 Methods To this end, a life history research method was used. The life history research method is a good research method to understand the life transition and adaptation course in the continuity of time by examining the internal dynamics and life changes in an individual's life course on the axis of time of the past, present, and future. In this study, we listened to Administration manager Kim's oral speech, who retired on June 30, 2019, and interpreted the meaning of specific experiences, events, and adaptations by connecting his life experiences in the course of life with socio-cultural and historical contexts.
 Results Administration manager Kim has lived his whole life to keep his promises to his mother and wife, and since he faithfully fulfilled his personal and professional life, he has no regrets in his life, and is very grateful that he can receive a pension, although he has left office without receiving a retirement medal due to unexpected events. Kim wants to return to the “Mountain with Ancestors' Tomb” and grow trees and live a free life like “Wandering Clouds and Wild Cranes,” but his lack of prior knowledge, declining body, and bad news of “COVID-19” forced him to put his dream on hold. He is living his second life by finding a job for the elderly as a way to spend a long time without being bored.
 Conclusions In order for a life after retirement to be satisfactory life, you must first have a healthy body, find yourself a work that will not tire you out no matter how hard you work, and the organization needs to open up a yard that collects various careers after retirement so that those who are scheduled to retire can find the work.

Wanted: A Date with Herodotus

Herodotus comes down to us as the father of history and his fifth-century work, the Histories, is recognized as the first in an entirely new literary genre. But mid-fifth-century historiography is missing one of the most convenient of supranational tools—a reliable dating grid, or calendar—and Herodotus simply must make do as best he can without one. Although it was first suggested by a sixth-century Scythian monk, the axis of time along the now familiar BC/AD system is of comparatively recent adoption. Partly because of bitter doctrinal disputes over when Jesus of Nazareth was born—this system is never widely accepted until a seventeenth-century Jesuit scholar suggests that Anno Domini year one is just a convenient convention and by no means an agreement. When reading Herodotus today, particularly in an annotated edition in translation providing scholarly estimates of the Julian dates for the events under discussion, it is only too easy to be blissfully unaware of the author’s extreme dating handicap

The Leontocephaline from the Villa Albani: Material Documentation for Religious Entanglement

In this article, I place the Leontocephaline from the Villa Albani on the axis of time of the Mithraic Saturn/Kronos prototype. Entangled in that prototype are astrology, concepts of death, and time perceptions. As a symbolic choice, its style reflects politico-religious and cultural colonial appropriation by Rome’s elite of the Severan period and demonstrates a syncretistic complexity adapted to Roman esthetic values. By surveying these issues and identifying the iconographic changes the statue has undergone, I reveal the elements of that colonial appropriation. The movement of the serpents and the astrological reliefs on the body depict Western philosophical concepts of the movement of the soul between the constellations after death and the unbounded (circular) nature of Aionic time entangled with Eastern concepts of the procession of time and Leontocephalic divinities.

End-of-life: An urgent update in nursing terminology.

Although nursing terminologies and classifications represent nursing knowledge across diverse clinical areas, end-of-life care seems under represented in many aspects of these instruments. NANDA- I is an international nursing diagnostic classification widely used in nursing education and research. This taxonomy is based on seven axes, including the axis of time. In this commentary we bring discussion to the need to update nursing terminology by including the term end-of-life in the time axis of NANDA-I. After describing the epidemiologic aspects of end-of-life care and discussing the relevant nursing role, we discuss patients' and family's human responses towards the end-of-life time and circumstance, which are central to defining nursing diagnoses. End-of-life care is one priority in health care, and nursing diagnoses should represent that situation as well. This paper focuses on a specific and international nursing diagnosis classification, NANDA-I, which lacks an end-of-life component to its time axis for defining labels of nursing diagnoses. Attending to the importance of classifications in clinical reasoning, nursing diagnoses could better represent responses towards this health condition, opening new opportunities for increasing nursing roles in clinical practice, and also for new studies aiming to validate nursing diagnoses, and promoting an evidence-based practice by including end-of-life in the axis time.

Investigating the Narrative Structure in the Story of Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery according to Gerard Genette's theory

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) published Little Prince in 1943, the story of an actual incident, which includes a collection of notes left by Saint-Exupery from his life`s experiences and thoughts. The research method is based on Gerar Genette`s narrative theory. A fictional narrative is the sequence of events within the axis of time. In narration, there is a distinction between what actually happened (the content of the narrative) and how to narrate what happened (the form of the narrative). The narrator is the main character of the story. According to Genette`s opinions, the narrative can be matched in the fictional world and text-based narrative because the center of orientation focuses on the character-narrator. The type of narrative is in the form of a co-narrative. The narrator is a knowledgeable narrator who controls the story. Each story is told through one or more narrators, and according to Genette, the narrator can be examined in terms of the type of narrative and narrative of events within time in the form of order, continuity and frequency. The little Prince, based on Genette`s theory, has an order or few time ranges from the present to the back and front, aesthetic and artistic aspect, and the painting event has the highest frequency, and the stability of dynamics or the speed of the story has positive acceleration and, in some parts negative acceleration.

Narratives and water: A bibliometric review

Social and environmental sciences have shown that narratives have significant impact on human behaviour. Understanding water narratives can therefore help policy-makers understand and regulate public behaviour. We carry out a bibliometric analysis of water narratives, which gives us a broad overview of the types of work, collaborations and key insights. We couple this with a smaller qualitative review, which enabled us to construct a typology that captures the range of themes found in the literature. Narratives might be classified along an axis of expert and local knowledge and an axis of time – retrospective and prospective. We also show that narratives are a useful tool for legitimation and mobilization, and a form of “System 1” heuristic. Given that so many water challenges are tied to human activities, an understanding of water narratives and the link to behavioural change would be a useful part of future research agendas.

Continuous and selective copper recovery by multi-modified and granulated SBA-15

Continuous and selective recovery of copper (Cu) from heavy metal wastewater not only mitigates the pollution of environment but also can be applied for industrial field. Due to several advantages such as large pore size, easy modification, physical and chemical stabilities, mesoporous silica material, SBA-15, has been synthesized via hydrothermal reaction in this study. For enhancing the adsorption capacity and selectivity for Cu ions, prepared SBA-15 was modified with manganese loading and amine-grafting (MN-SBA) then granulated by alginic-acid (GMN-SBA), successfully. Adsorption capacities for heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Ni and Mn were 2.11, 1.24, 1.74 and 1.25 mmol/g on MN-SBA and decreased to 1.23, 0.68, 0.86 and 0.65 when it was granulated. Even though the adsorption capacities of GMN-SBA for heavy metals decreased by 40–50%, it enabled easy regeneration and separation process when applied for continuous fixed-bed column adsorption mode. Specifically, the results demonstrated that GMN-SBA was able to be reused for 5 times while maintaining over 80% adsorption capacities. Fixed-bed adsorption results were well explained by dynamic adsorption model incorporated with linear driving force approximation (LDFA) model. The simulation of fixed-bed adsorption tests was proceeded in terms of bed length, feeding concentration and flow rate, and it showed the breakthrough times were shifted in the axis of time. In multi-component adsorption, LDFA model showed a high overshoot phenomenon of the breakthrough curves for Zn, Ni and Mn compared to Cu. This reflected the high affinity of Cu towards GMN-SBA compared to other heavy metals.

Мифопоэтика пространственно-времен-ного континуума в сказках Сергея Козлова о Ёжике и Медвежонке

The original tales of Sergei Kozlov about the Hedgehog and the Bear are full of deep philosophical content, which finds expression in intertextual allusions, the transformation of my-thological images and formulas. A special place in the author’s discourse is occupied by the space-time continuum, which can be defined as a continuous set of categories that embody the topologi-cal explication of the fairy world through mythopoetic imagery, religious subtext, and multiple al-lusions. Temporality as a text category becomes the axis of artistic time, imparting signs of per-ception to the entire space-time continuum of the work. The temporality of the fairytale cycle is determined by the switch from everyday specifics to the scale of an unlimited universe. The stopped time effect occurs at the moment of such switch. Out of time, the characters find them-selves in the element of fantasy overwhelming them. The space has the features of impressionism, every moment in the life of fairytale heroes reveals a new look of the vernal world. The heavenly bodies in the spirit of the ancient fairy-tale epic are close to the earth and reified. Astral categories in the images of the moon, stars, sky reveal a connection with outer space. Anthropomorphic cha-racters inhabiting the magical space of the forest, while retaining their archetypal features, acquire special properties in fairy tales that go far beyond the framework of folklore stereotypes. This is imagination and fantasy that have no boundaries, the ability to contemplate the beautiful, the as-cent of thought to eternal philosophical problems. The Hedgehog, as the protagonist and the bearer of these qualities, often evaluates finiteness – the infinity of time, its cyclical nature, the constant change of death and birth. He, like other characters, overcomes real space and time with the help of imagination. The poetics of myth, archetypal imagery, artistic components of magical-fantastic tales, transformed in the author’s discourse of Sergei Kozlov, allow the writer to penetrate the innermost world of the child’s soul through the space-time continuum and present the most important ontological and epistemological problems of human existence and divine providence in the world to the adult reader.

A New Contribution to Early Modern Memory Studies

Reviewed by: A New Contribution to Early Modern Memory Studies by Patricia Phillippy Andrew Hiscock (bio) Shaping Remembrance from Shakespeare to Milton by Patricia Phillippy. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2018. 269 pp. Hardcover $110.00. Patricia Phillippy's latest publication is a complex and intriguing project. Whereas many studies exploring the field of early modern memory studies have trained their readers' attentions resolutely upon the axis of time or space, Shaping Remembrance from Shakespeare to Milton places its discussions firmly in a situational logic, theoretically framed by the referencing of the phenomenological thinking of Merleau-Ponty—"the crisscrossing of the self and the world" (qtd. in Phillippy, 85)—among others. Phillippy acknowledges the widely held contention down the ages that memorial prowess might serve as an index to selfhood, but extends her study further by formulating the vision of collaborative cultural matrices in the early modern period whereby objects and their subjects emerge as "mutual partners in acts and performances of memory" (13). The quarries in this study are many and various, extending to the fields of architectural, monumental, textile, jewelry, textual, and literary interest as well as to the curiosities of wunderkammern. In this fluent and absorbing discussion, the dominant metaphor that guides the reader through one consideration of remembrance—"the retrieval and reuse of remnants of the past" (1)—speaking to another through multiple experiences of materiality is that of "bleeding through" a sequence of cultural planes: "I remove monuments from [End Page 297] limited antiquarian and parochial interests to locate them in provocative relationship with early modern texts" (9). The study begins by examining how material artefacts in the early modern period might, or might not, be seen to preserve and to renew the past. Here, the initial test case of humanist attitudes towards the perceived properties of amber—"capable of quasimiraculous works, valued for its curative properties, mysteriously endowed with a magnetism … and emitting a sweet smell" (5)—remains highly illuminating and offers an excellent base from which to launch an ambitious investigation into early modern material culture in seventeenth-century England. Phillippy's account of the post-Reformation island realm negotiating a change of focus in its cultures of worship "from the spiritual efficacy of remembrance toward a proliferation of its material displays" (8) remains highly readable and complements in its meticulous detail other key contributions that have already been made to this lively field of scholarly studies. In her first chapter, Phillippy explores early modern cultural discourses of iconography and iconoclasm as sometimes remarkably evenly matched in a number of narratives of post-Reformation religious communities. Equally illuminatingly, in the same way that some studies of Medieval drama have pointed to the ways in which materials and properties by companies were rescued and recycled for alternative forms of performance, this study looks at how certain ecclesiastical practices and objects might be discarded, recovered, and redeployed according to the changeful environments of parish and household affiliations. Detailed accounts of the architectural and monumental spaces of church buildings (notably an enquiry into the reported motivations and actions that characterized the violent transformation of Peterborough cathedral) as well as revealing insights into the commemorative practices identified at the heart of early modern family life (especially that of the Northamptonshire Puritan family of the Montagus) build incrementally to offer the reader a rich and complex panorama of early modern society's theatres of remembrance. Phillippy's emphases upon the staging and performance of memory in such locales seamlessly leads to a sequence of insights into selected dramatic works such as Shakespeare's late romances (Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale) and Milton's Comus. The initial account of Cymbeline is among the most intriguing, foregrounding the motifs of "dispersal and reincorporation" (94) linked to Innogen's roles as wife, daughter, and sister. Exploring how the romance's narrative may be seen to be structured [End Page 298] around attempted sacraments and rites (and, on occasions, their failures), Phillippy draws attention to the ways in which figures come back and forth from perceived afterlives to shape present experience: thus, "when her brothers lay Innogen (as Fidele) to rest, they perform a ritual that is improvised, yet recycled; natural, but...

Negative Energy Antiferromagnetic Instantons Forming Cooper-Pairing ‘Glue’ and ‘Hidden Order’ in High-Tc Cuprates

An emergence of magnetic boson of instantonic nature, that provides a Cooper-‘pairing glue’, is considered in the repulsive ‘nested’ Hubbard model of superconducting cuprates. It is demonstrated that antiferromagnetic instantons of a spin density wave type may have negative energy due to coupling with Cooper pair condensate. A set of Eliashberg like equations is derived and solved self-consistently, proving the above suggestion. An instantonic propagator plays the role of the Green function of the pairing ‘glue’ boson. Simultaneously, the instantons defy condensation of the mean-field spin-density wave (SDW) order. We had previously demonstrated in analytical form that periodic chain of instanton-anti-instanton pairs along the axis of Matsubara time has zero scattering cross section for weakly perturbing external probes, like neutrons, etc., thus representing a ‘hidden order’. Hence, the two competing orders, superconducting and antiferromagnetic, may coexist (below some T c ) in the form of the superconducting order coupled to ‘hidden’ instantonic one. This new picture is discussed in relation with the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity.
