Nishida Kitaro and Japans Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere

No one shaped modern Japanese philosophy as significantly as did Nishida Kitaro, a prominent scholar at Kyoto Imperial University and the author of An Inquiry into the Good. He pioneered the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy, which combined Western and Eastern thoughts, traditions, and religions to reach a new understanding of the world. Not usually seen as a political figure, Nishida penned a controversial essay in 1943, two years before his death, titled The Principle of the New World Order. The essay was intended for Prime Minister Tojo Hideki's use at the 1943 Greater East Asia Conference in Tokyo, where leaders from East and Southeast Asian countries under the rule of Japanese imperialism discussed future visions for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan's ostensible war cause. Nishida opposed the militarist government and its oppressive policies at home and abroad, but he hoped to influence its policy through his philosophical writing as Japan's defeat loomed larger than ever. The tense political atmosphere in wartime Japan and Nishida's vision of the world, which was characterized by the harmonious coexistence of the individual and the collective, turned The Principle of the New World Order into a text full of contradictionsthe greatest among them being his uncritical use of Hakko Ichiu (Eight Corners of the World under One Roof), a politico-religious jargon to justify the supreme rule of the Japanese emperor. After WWII, Nishida was posthumously criticized for cooperating with the military government by writing that essay, but a close examination of the text, its historical context, and other works by Nishida reveal that the lone Japanese philosopher was trying to steer Japan's Pan-Asian policy from within, an attempt that was doomed to fail when the government was mobilizing intellectuals for its imperial goals. By focusing on the case of Nishida, this article uncovers the complex dynamic between the Japanese empire and Japanese intellectuals who tried to voice their views different than the government's.

Fuzzy inference system-assisted human-aware navigation framework based on enhanced potential field

With the advent of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in public areas such as malls and airports, their harmonious coexistence with humans is crucial. AMRs must operate in a manner that ensures human safety, comfort, and acceptability to reduce stress. This is called Human Aware Navigation. This study introduces a framework for AMR navigation that prioritizes safety and human comfort in such environments, utilizing an enhanced Potential Field approach augmented by Fuzzy Inference Systems. To achieve a smooth AMR trajectory, the framework employs these systems based on AMR, human, and obstacle information. The proposed approach is tested across various scenarios, including complex, cluttered environments that mimic practical situations. Simulation results demonstrate that AMRs using the proposed method navigate human-rich environments safely and comfortably while mitigating common issues associated with Potential Field-based approaches, such as local minima and obstacles near the goal.

Research progress on animal habitat constructions from the perspective of urban biodiversity improvement

The accelerated urbanization process has caused problems such as habitat loss, isolation, and habitat quality decline, resulting in a sharp reduction in the richness and abundance of urban species. Constructing suitable habitat environmental conditions is the most direct and effective way to protect animals. In urban environment, habitat construction can be achieved by integrating species protection and landscape planning, which is also an important manifestation of biodiversity conservation at the ecosystem level. Understanding how to incorporate animal habitats into city plan and design is critical and urban planners would benefit from a review that holistically describes the steps and methods of animal habitat constructions. We conducted a review to highlight the animal habitats space resources and network structures. We synthesized the findings of research studies in the last 20 years to illuminate the investigation, assessment, planning and management of animal habitats. As habitat degradation and fragmentation in anthropogenic environments, our findings suggest city planners should consider ecological background investigation, habitat suitability assessment, habitat planning strategies and animal habitat management as four key steps of mitigation to alleviate these impacts. This study will provide a useful reference to improve animal survival quality and communication. Through this study, the consolidated research can aid in sustainable development and innovation to promote the ecological function of urban green space and the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals.

A Study on the Statistical Measurement of Chinas Modernization Based on the Electric Vehicle Industry Chain Development

According to the basic characteristics of a socialist modernization state in China, Chinas modernization aims for a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. China strives to achieve carbon peaking by 2030. Therefore, this article mainly focuses on the connection between the electric vehicle industry chain and the Chinese-style modernization, as well as an empirical analysis of Chinas 2030 carbon peaking goal. This article divides Chinas green modernization measurement into two parts. In the first part, Chinas green modernization can be measured by the level of modernization in each province. The article uses PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to reduce data dimensions and analyze correlations among selected indicators. Then, the Six-factor TOPSIS-Entropy Method is utilized for weight evaluation to calculate the level of modernization in different provinces, resulting in an overall domestic modernization level of 65.741%. In the second part, an empirical analysis of Chinas commitment to achieving carbon peaking by 2030 is conducted. An improved SIRD-NM dynamic model is employed to predict the number of new energy vehicles, and then the feasibility of achieving the commitment is studied. The results indicate that the contribution of the development of new energy vehicles to carbon peaking reaches 5.42%. China has a high feasibility of achieving carbon peaking by 2030.

Landscape quantifies the intermediate state and transition dynamics in ecological networks.

Understanding the ecological mechanisms associated with the collapse and restoration is especially critical in promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. So far, it remains challenging to elucidate the mechanisms of stochastic dynamical transitions for ecological systems. Using an example of plant-pollinator network, we quantified the energy landscape of ecological system. The landscape displays multiple attractors characterizing the high, low and intermediate abundance stable states. Interestingly, we detected the intermediate states under pollinator decline, and demonstrated the indispensable role of the intermediate state in state transitions. From the landscape, we define the barrier height (BH) as a global quantity to evaluate the transition feasibility. We propose that the BH can serve as a new early-warning signal (EWS) for upcoming catastrophic breakdown, which provides an earlier and more accurate warning signal than traditional metrics based on time series. Our results promote developing better management strategies to achieve environmental sustainability.

Avaliação da filosofia ecológica da agricultura tradicional chinesa e do desenvolvimento rural sustentável

Abstract: China’s traditional agricultural ecological philosophy, rooted in principles like intensive planting and diversified management, has historically minimized the ecological impact of agriculture. This study explores their application in rural sustainable development, providing theoretical insights and policy recommendations to balance economic growth and environmental conservation. The excellent ecological tradition of intensive planting, the combination of utilization and cultivation, and the diversified management passed down for thousands of years have played a very good role in alleviating the damage of agricultural farming to the ecological environment. Applying these concepts to the sustainable development of rural areas can balance rural economic development and environmental protection, regulate land use, maintain ecological balance and, finally, achieve harmonious coexistence. By analyzing China’s traditional agricultural ecological philosophy, this study identifies valuable ideological resources and provides methodological guidance for promoting sustainable rural development. It proposes strategies to balance economic growth with environmental protection, thereby ensuring the long-term ecological balance and harmonious coexistence in rural areas.

Use of Electron Microscopy for the Detection of Contaminant Endophytic Bacteria In Vitro.

The success of in vitro cultivation, particularly for micropropagation purposes, depends on the efficient control of contaminants. In this context, the sterilization of plant material constitutes a fundamental step in initiating cultures. Microbial contaminants can be found either on the surface (epiphyte) or inside plant explants (endophyte). However, the latter is generally challenging to detect and may not always be eradicated through surface sterilization alone. Endophyte contaminants, such as bacteria, can persist within plant material over several cultivation cycles, potentially interfering with or inhibiting in vitro establishment, growth, or recovery of cryopreserved materials. Therefore, microscopy techniques, such as electron microscopy, can yield valuable insights into bacterial endophytes' localization, tissue colonization patterns, and functions in in vitro plant culture. This information is essential for adopting effective strategies for eliminating, preventing, or harmonious coexistence with contaminants.

Transforming Global Conflict Paradigms: Towards an Ecological Civilisation

This paper challenges Samuel Huntington’s ‘Clash of Civilizations’ framework, arguing that cultural and religious differences are insufficient to address the complexities of modern global conflicts. Instead, it proposes the concept of an ‘Ecological Civilisation’, emphasising ecological sustainability and interdependence as critical for future global stability. Analysing the conflict between exploitative and sustainable interactions with nature, this paper advocates for a paradigm shift towards a framework integrating principles of interdependence, sustainable development, and harmonious coexistence. Drawing on Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, this new paradigm seeks to integrate environmental, socio-economic, and cultural foundations, essential for supporting human life on Earth, thereby redefining the prerequisites for sustainable human development.

IN-SITU ԵՎ EX-SITU ՍԿԶԲՈՒՆՔՆԵՐԻ ՎՐԱ ՀԻՄՆՎԱԾ ԺԱՌԱՆԳՈՒԹՅԱՆ ՊԱՀՊԱՆՄԱՆ ՄԻՋԱԶԳԱՅԻՆ ՓՈՐՁԸ ԲԱՑՕԹՅԱ ԹԱՆԳԱՐԱՆՆԵՐՈՒՄ / INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF HERITAGE CONSERVATION IN OPEN-AIR MUSEUMS BASED ON THE IN-SITU AND EX-SITU PRINCIPLES

The article presents the activity features of different open-air museums, which have been formed within the 130 years of existence of these types of museums to ensure the protection, reproduction, and modeling of unique historical and cultural landscapes. The historical and cultural landscape is a result of the joint creation of man and nature, which is characterized by a clear territorial organization in which the natural and man-made elements form an inseparable whole, forming a unique natural and cultural complex. Such complexes, as a rule, show the evolution of certain ethnic groups and their settlements, which took place under the influence of various external and internal, favorable and unfavorable, climatic and social factors. Today, historical and cultural landscapes are the most important heritage objects of different regions of the world, whose preservation and modernization are carried out through open-air museology. The open-air museum itself presents a special format of a museum institution, which gives visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the historical atmosphere of past eras while appreciating the result of the harmonious and creative coexistence of nature and man. The study of this type of museum is especially important in the context of cultural component management, for which the international legal principles of in-situ and ex-situ preservation of cultural heritage are applied. These principles have received normative support through the ratification of a number of intergovernmental acts and convention

Greening of the Mineral Economy–Take China for Example

As mineral resources are an important pillar of the national economy, the traditional mode of exploitation often leads to resource depletion and environmental damage. Globally, the exploitation of mineral resources is facing increasingly high environmental standards. The green development of the mineral economy can help promote the transformation of the economic structure from the traditional resource-dependent to the green and low-carbon type, cultivate new points of economic growth, and improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth. Green development emphasizes the sustainable use of resources in the process of mineral resources development and ensures the harmonious coexistence of mineral resources development and the ecological environment.

Warren, Monastery, Giant’s Cairn and Nordic Myths—Cultural Memory Writing in The Buried Giant

Japanese British author Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant tells the story of an elderly British couple’s journey of finding their son and reminiscing. He writes the unfinished story between the Britons and Saxons in the post-Arthur era in a fantastical way, focusing on the grand propositions of history, memory and human survival. This article innovatively applies the Assmann couple’s cultural memory theory to analyze the memory writing in The Buried Giant from the dimensions of media, power, and function of cultural memory. The warren, monastery and giant’s cairn in the text are not only the carriers of individual, national and state memories, but also the necessary conditions for the buried stored memories to be awakened under the fog of amnesia. And the Nordic myths, as the cohesive structure in their cultural memory, play a crucial role in reconstructing their own cultural identity. As a result of which, this paper first analyzes the positive role that cultural memory plays in reconstructing identity and healing trauma for individuals, collectives, and nations under the shadow of the Holocaust. Secondly, it explores the writer’s intention to contemplate the survival status of all humanity, comprehend the meaning of life, and call for peace in the context of globalization. Thirdly, it reveals the theme of “facing historical trauma, rejecting negative forgetting, inheriting cultural memory, achieving identity reconstruction, and pursuing harmonious coexistence”.

Develop the rural ecology in the New Era

Rural ecology is a comprehensive field of study that takes the rural social-ecological-economic systems as the objective object and emphasizes spatial carrier governance. The development of rural ecology in the New Era embodies and implements comprehensively the core concepts of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Cha-racteristics for a New Era, including harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, rural revitalization, green development, and the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized nation. Under the goal of Chinese-style modernization, rural ecology exhibits characteristics distinct from the past, such as the integration of research objects, the intersectionality of basic theories, the computational feature of technical methods, and the orientation of exporting outcomes. To provide disciplinary support for modernization-oriented science to meet the new demands of country's rural development, effectively narrating the story of sustainable rural development in China and providing fundamental guarantees for the safety of rural systems, a number of issues such as paradigm innovation in research, improvement of data quality, and integration of comprehensive technologies, should be fully considered.

EXAMINING WATER EFFICIENCY MEASURES FOR THREE- TO FIVE-STAR GRADED GAME LODGES AND FOR RESIDENTIAL BENEFICIATION IN HAMMANSKRAAL, SOUTH AFRICA

Globally, water scarcity has been a concern for the tourism and hospitality sectors, which are significant water consumers. Conflict between lodges and residents can also arise from differing priorities, competition, limited access, and inadequate infrastructure. There are limited studies addressing water governance challenges and equitable water access while balancing conservation, tourism, and local needs. In the arid regions of water-scarce South Africa, particularly in areas hosting game lodges essential to tourism, effective water management is vital in societal terms. In this context, the present study aimed to address these issues by investigating water efficiency measures adopted in game lodges and exploring sustainable solutions for equitable water access for neighboring residents. Effective water governance is essential for balancing conservation efforts, fulfilling guest expectations, and meeting the needs of local communities. Through semistructured techniques, this study explored the adoption of water efficiency measures by residents in Hammanskraal and the neighboring threeto five-star graded game lodges around Dinokeng Game Reserve, South Africa. The challenges that game lodges face is outlined, such as deficient government policy enforcement and insufficient stakeholder collaboration, which hinder the mandatory adoption of water efficiency measures. This suggests the need for stronger regulatory frameworks and better coordination among stakeholders in ensuring the success of game lodges in water management. The specific strategies and technologies employed by residents and lodges to conserve water and manage their resources sustainably were identified. Findings further illuminate the intricate relationship between game lodges, residents, and water resource management, emphasizing the need for harmonious coexistence to prevent social tensions. Additionally, the study exposed gaps in policy, corruption, and inadequate infrastructure, which have led to suboptimal water governance in the Hammanskraal region. Municipal lapses and inadequate monitoring contribute to water management issues, negatively affecting residents. The key knowledge contributions highlighted by the study include the importance of engaging local communities in water governance for more effective and resilient water management practices

Demand Forecasting and Project Development of Sports Tourism Based on User Behavior under the Perspective of Harmonious Coexistence of Human and Nature

Abstract Man and nature are interconnected and interdependent. The naturalization of man reflects the scientific nature of the landscape, the development of ecotourism is to establish the development of man and nature in harmony and unity of the development of ideas. This paper proposes measures to enhance the tourism experience based on the above concept. After a series of operations, such as similarity calculation and data cleaning, the user category, consumption level, and geographic location preference are calculated to establish a user model and portrait based on behavioral analysis. Based on LASSO penalty regression, the link between covariates is incorporated into the penalty term to complete the optimization and improvement of the LASSO regression model. Associate the user preference degree model with the tourism demand prediction model based on user preference. The model is applied in practice, and the average error rate for the number of tourists predicted by the LASSO regression coefficient is about 9.9%, which is smaller than the average error rate of the comparison model. Based on the results of the demand prediction, strategies related to the development of sports tourism projects are proposed, and the impact of sports tourism projects on the environment is evaluated. Based on the IPA analysis method, the user’s tourism experience of the subject area is assessed, and the user is more concerned about the internal transportation of the tourist place, with I and P values of 12.455 and 1.457, respectively, and the performance effect of the subject area in this point is poor, which needs to be solved in time.

Циркулярна економіка в умовах трансформаційних змін: цифровізація, глобалізація, інновації

The presented work considers the main features of the modern circular economy, also identifies the main aspects of transformational changes and characterizes the main components of the impact on the development of the modern circular economy in the form of digitalization, globalization and innovation. It is noted that traditional models of economic development are becoming less and less effective in solving global challenges, such as the depletion of natural resources, the growth of waste and climate change. Under these conditions, the conception of a circular economy based on the principles of closed cycles of production and consumption is becoming increasingly important. The circular economy aims to maximize the conservation of the value of resources, their reuse, reduce waste and decrease the environmental burden. The main aim of the presented article is to determine the features of the formation of the circular economy in the context of transformational changes, taking into account digitalization, globalization and innovation. The methods used in the study: synthesis, deduction, comparison, logical method, method of analysis, induction, observation, generalization method, tabular and graphical methods allowed for substantiating the main results of the study and presenting them in the visual form. It is substantiated that such transformational processes as digitalization, globalization and innovation play a key role in maintaining and further developing the circular economy. Digitalization provides new tools for monitoring and managing resources, enabling more efficient and sustainable business models. Globalization promotes the spread of best practices and technologies, which stimulates international cooperation in the field of circular economy. Innovation, in turn, is a driving force that opens up new opportunities for the development of materials, technologies and processes, allowing for more efficient use of resources and reduction of environmental impact. Thus, the circular economy in the context of transformational changes is becoming not only a response to modern challenges, but also a promising direction for ensuring sustainable development. Its implementation requires an integrated approach that combines technological, economic and social aspects to create conditions for the harmonious coexistence of economic growth and environmental protection.
