The Issue of Gender Equality in Modern Chinese Society: Taking the Legend of Chen Qianqian as an Example

In ancient Chinese feudal society, the status of women was very low, and women's behavior, language expression, and thought were all imprisoned. For example, the "three-inch golden lotus" is not only to meet the sexual psychology of male perversion but also to destroy the female body, so that women can not travel, thus imprison-women; "Three and four virtues", "good women do not marry two husbands", "women without talent is a virtue" are shackles on female thought. With the progress and development of society, the status of Chinese women has significantly improved, especially women's self-awareness has been greatly improved. At present, the more popular female literary works and dramas of female protagonists are the reflection of female independence and feminist thought. This article begins with the popular TV series “The Rumor of Chen Qianqian”, analyzes the story of the heroine who passes through the past and grows up in the city of Huayuan where women are respected and men are inferior and analyze the growth demands of women in modern society. At the same time as the current social progress, there is still a lot of discrimination and prejudice against women, such as the stereotype that housework is a task exclusively for women, and once women have children, they lose all their desires and needs. In particular, the article calls on society to strengthen publicity to avoid prejudice against women. At the same time, women should pay attention to their personal needs and grow into better themselves; Women are neither dependent on nor hostile to men, and they divide labor reasonably, give play to their respective strengths, and live in harmony.

Pelatihan Penyuntingan Karya Tulis Ilmiah Populer Untuk Siswa Kelas XII SMA Negeri 1 Kedamean

One form of writing, namely popular scientific works. In writing popular scientific works, writers must follow predetermined guidelines, for example templates, word choice (diction), and suitability of themes. Popular scientific works have word choices that are easy to read and easy for various groups to understand. Therefore, an editing process is needed so that popular scientific works become good. The aim of editing is to avoid too many errors and add references if necessary. Editing is the author's final step before his writing is published. Editing is not an easy job. This was experienced by the students of SMA Negeri 1 Kedamean. For this reason, lecturers in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program at PGRI Adi Buana University Surabaya need to provide community service through training. Training implementation method with face-to-face presentations, modeling and simulation accompanied by assignments. The community service carried out can provide students with insight and skills in editing popular scientific papers.

The Dastan of M.H. Dughlat Jahan-nama

The person of the XVI century Muhammad Haidar Dughlat (1499–1551) was not only a famous historian, but also a major creative owner. His popular work «Tarikh-i-Rashidi» is a historical and memoir work from a genre point of view. Meets the requirements of a work of art in terms of the creation and structure of images, language features. And the dastan «Jahan-nama» is a purely literary and poetic work. In the poem, written on the example of the eastern literary tradition, the poet sings about love. Although the work is built on a legendary line, the relationship between parents and children, friends, kinship and brotherhood are described by a complex story. Also, the plot of the dastan reflects the Muslim worldview, a sense of true worship of Allah. The state administration is mentioned. In the introduction to the poem, the author tells about the history of writing the work, including the historical event that he witnessed. Valuable opinions were expressed about the poem by literary scholars. In addition to translating the dastan from the ancient Chagatai language into Kazakh, academician, Orientalist A. Derbisali wrote a voluminous article based on a deep analysis. In the study A. Derbisali's article was based on a methodological basis, a literary and cognitive analysis was carried out; its own views and conclusions were presented. The article used methods of textual, artistic analysis, comparison. The dastan should be widely included in the literary circulation. It is a valuable work that occupies an important place in the history of Kazakh literature. The poet's humanistic reflections are also important for today.

Folding Time: Honorius Augustodunensis' 'Imago Mundi'

The Imago mundi or "Image of the World" was composed around 1110 by Honorius Augustodunensis, one of the most prolific authors of his age. Presented in the form of a mappa mundi, the Imago offers its reader a verbal 'image' of the cosmos, covering topics ranging from the atom to the heavenly spheres. Despite being one of the most popular works of the central Middle Ages, scholars rarely regard the Imago as a text possessing serious literary merit, dismissing it instead as a derivative exercise in compilation. This essay argues that the Imago is in fact an ambitious literary undertaking with a coherent spiritual agenda. While Honorius recycles (like many of his peers) earlier medieval and especially Neoplatonic cosmological ideas, his text shapes that material in new ways – into a spiritually transformative journey through and above the cosmos, and into the self. At the same time, throughout the work Honorius deploys a range of strikingly material metaphors to describe the world from the perspective of eternity – most notably, the rope of time. In this further literary sense, the ascent to eternity entails a recognition that we dwell in images.

The Trend and Reasons for the Shift of Korean Dramas from Romantic Themes to Realistic Themes

In recent times, there has been a shift in the manifestations of Korean popular films and television works. With the advent of globalization, the impact and influence of streaming media and transcultural communications have surpassed traditional methods. Additionally, the dynamics between male and female characters in Korean dramas have undergone changes. Against this backdrop, this study explores how local TV dramas, promoted by Netflix, successfully transcend national boundaries while preserving their distinct cultural identity. To accomplish this objective, the study focuses on the Korean drama The Glory, which gained significant popularity on Netflix in the previous year. Through detailed analysis and examination, this paper sheds light on the strategies employed by these dramas to navigate the global market while maintaining their unique characteristics. At the same time, this paper also provides experience and a new direction for Chinas cultural export to the world. By relying on film and television works and combining Chinese cultural symbols with the local social and cultural background, Chinese drama can weaken the cultural discount brought by different cultural backgrounds.

Fichtes Bestimmung des Menschen und die Rhetorik des Transzendentalismus

Abstract The importance of philosophical rhetoric for Fichte is well-known, and in particular how it connects to his concept of the public role of the philosopher. This article examines Fichte’s Die Bestimmung des Menschen (1799) – a popular work in a double sense – in the context of Fichte’s philosophical rhetoric, with a focus on the use of persuasio. Much as Die Bestimmung des Menschen was met with substantial criticism upon its initial publication in German, it proved to be one of the central works in Fichte’s English-language reception in the nineteenth century, where Fichte’s philosophy became integrated into Transcendentalism. Fichte’s work was praised for its aesthetic and persuasive qualities, and it is this element of persuasio which can be traced in readers’ use of Die Bestimmung des Menschen.

Adam of Dryburgh, Soliloquium de instructione animæ

Adam of Dryburgh ( d.1212) was one of the greatest theologians of the Premonstratensian Order in the twelfth century. His most popular work was his Soliloquium de instructione anime, a handbook on religious life in the form of a dialogue between Anima, a dissatisfied novice, and a fatherly novice-master Ratio. Lively, realistic and entertaining, their conversation covers all kinds of difficulties a novice might face, from having to keep silence or abstain from meat, to temptations against chastity, the ordeal of being accused of faults against the Rule or having to confess to one’s own abbot, leading Anima through arguments and exhortations to a more profound and supernatural understanding of his vocation. This edition and translation, based on fifteen manuscripts (some not previously known), presents the newly identified earliest redaction of Adam’s text, which contains a significant amount of material missing from later versions. Also included are details of all known manuscripts of the text.

FOSTERING LEARNING AUTONOMY AND CREATIVITY IN CROSS CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

Teachers require instructional resources to assist students in learning. This research met the material requirements of students and evaluated 21st-century learning and the analysis of popular literary works in various countries. Thirty students in English Education and Literature participated in this study. The research was primarily concerned with three topics: design of Booklet Journey to the World, the 21st century skills in project-based learning, and literary work analysis as one of the booklet's sections. Three instruments were used to gather data from the field. Document analysis, a Focused-Group Discussion (FGD) interview, and a questionnaire indicate students' perspectives of their writing process through the implementation of project-based learning. Three points disclosed: 1) The booklet displayed good creativity, idea courage, and language; 2). Concerning the compatibility of learning models and instructional materials, creativity; and self-directed learning, the three criteria were met by 53.34 percent, 63.34 percent, and 56.67 percent of respondents, respectively which means that the students' perception on the implementation of project-based learning was rated as excellent; 3) The majority of works included in the booklet were collected, paraphrased, and commented on, demonstrating sufficient, effective, and thorough literary comprehension.

“A Serious House on Serious Earth It Is…” (Commentary on the Poem “Church Going” by Ph. Larkin).

The article analyzes one of the most popular works of the British poet Philip Larkin. The poem “Church Going” expressed the processes that took place in English society in the post-war period. Many English people broke up with religion and stopped visiting church. But such a refusal was followed by some losses. Certain of the former believers felt disagreeable themselves after leaving church. Larkin tries to find out what qualities of church had attracted people, what they had gotten there and what can replace church in the future when it ceases to exist as a social institution. In addition to the content study, the article pays attention to stylistic analysis and analysis of the elements of poetic form.

EASTERN MOTIFS IN VIOLIN LITERATURE

Violin repertoires one of the brightestpages of music history. New playing techniques have been developed throughout the history of violin art, in addition to this, virtuoso violin works, which requirenew playing techniques, have emerged. These are violin sonatas, variations, concertos. These works are also dedicated to different motifs and themes. Among theexamples are A. Vivaldi’s Four Violin Concertos the four seasons, Paganini’s Prayer Variations from G. Rossini’s “Moses”, or the Violin Caprices about Hunting or War (No. 9, 14, 17) . In the violin literature, there are many works of world composers devoted to Eastern motifs. Since the Baroque period, composers began to apply these motifs. This tendency continued all the time and led to the formation of a wider repertoire. Great interest in Oriental music is growing from both European and Russian composers. Passion for the Orient W. A. Mozart’s “Die Entführung aus dem Serail”, C. Saint-Saens’ “Samson et Dalilah”, J. Bizet’s “Jamele”, N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade”, Reinhold Glière’s “Shakh-Senem” and has been seen many other works. These motives considered asnot only in large genres, but also in works of small genres. In this context, romance, suite and other works for violin attract attention.
 In this study, it is aimed to examine the period and composer styles in popular works of the violin repertoire composed on Eastern motifs such as “Romanza Andaluza” by P. Sarasate, “Orientale” by C. Cui, “Baal Shem” by E. Bloch and “Tzigane” by M. Ravel. These works were examined in terms of harmonic structure.

Exploring role transitions and conflicts on work disengagement under varying settings: the moderating role of individual resilience

Purpose COVID-19 disrupted the usual way of working for many people across the globe, making full-time work from home and hybrid models two popular work arrangements. Despite the proliferation and high acceptance of the hybrid model, very little research has focused on the same. This study aims to compare the impact of transitions caused by remote work on work disengagement under two settings: remote work and hybrid model. Design/methodology/approach The data is collected from three corporate hubs in India: Hyderabad, Gurgaon and Bangalore. This study’s respondents represent two working models: full-time work from home and a hybrid model. Responses were collected using Google forms-based questionnaire, which resulted in the following usable responses: 356 (hybrid) and 398 (work from home). Findings The findings reveal that the structural model for the hybrid sector explained 11% of the variance in work disengagement, while the same for work from home model accounted for 20% of the variance in work disengagement. The authors also tested for the moderation of individual resilience between work-home and home-to-work conflicts and home-to-work transitions and work-to-home conflict under full-time work-from and hybrid models. Based on 356 respondents from hybrid category and 398 from work from home, the study found that employees experience less work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts in the hybrid model and employees experience more work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts in the full-time work from home model. Originality/value The study is also the first to examine the moderating role of individual resilience as a tool to bounce back and handle conflicts. As the full-time work from home model leads to more work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts, individuals have more scope to exhibit resilience, and thus, the moderating relationship is stronger in the full-time work from home model. The paper offers theoretical and managerial implications.

Bias-Based Soft Label Learning for Facial Expression Recognition

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) suffers from misrecognition due to the similarities between expressions. To address this issue, popular works replace original annotations with soft labels to reflect expression similarities. However, existing soft label learning (SLL) modules are independent of FER modules. In this paper, inspired by automatic control theory, we propose a bias-based soft label learning network for FER named EC-Net. For optimizing FER and SLL modules jointly, EC-Net constitutes the closed-loop feedback between the two modules by designing a module measuring and transmitting the bias between FER module predictions and target labels. Specifically, EC-Net contains three modules: E-subNet, C-subNet, and L-Transmitter. Firstly, E-subNet, i.e., the FER module, attempts to converge to target labels under the supervision of soft labels, acting as the executor. Then, L-Transmitter measures the bias between E-subNet predictions and target labels. It converts multiple discrete biases to the bias-based label through spectral clustering and transmits it to C-subNet. Finally, C-SubNet, i.e., the SLL module, generates soft labels from the bias-based label with a cascaded learner and progressively distinguishes similar expressions. It updates the learned soft labels for E-subNet, performing like the controller. Supervised by the bias-based soft label, E-subNet effectively reduces the dominant bias caused by similar expressions. We conduct extensive experiments on four popular benchmarks, demonstrating the effectiveness of applying closed-loop feedback in the FER task.

Socio-vital Institutions of the Cossack Everyday Life: Categorical and Conceptual Analysis

Numerous scientific and popular works have been written about the Russian Cossacks, and in modern Russia, interest in Cossacks as a subject of scientific analysis is growing. Presidential Decree No. 505 of August 9, 2020, approved the "Strategy of State Policy of the Russian Federation in relation to the Russian Cossacks for 2021-2030", that emphasises "promoting the scientific study of the history of the Russian Cossacks, countering the falsification of pages of Russian history related to the Russian Cossacks". To ensure the scientific study of the history of the Russian Cossacks, it is important to understand the system of key categories and concepts that reflect Cossack everyday life. The development of a scientific toolkit to achieve this goal requires interdisciplinary research, including turning to historical sociology and sociology of culture, conceptualising the socio-vital institutions of the Russian Cossacks, revealing the features of Cossack everyday life.
 Vitalist sociology, in turn, paradigmatically supports the author's scientific installation and provides an expanded categorical and conceptual analysis of the ethnocultural sphere of the life activities of Cossack communities in a cultural vitalist key. Attention is drawn to the material side of the socio-personal evolution of Cossack communities in the historical everyday life of the Russian Empire from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century and the preservation, through commemorative practices, of the socio-vital institutions of the Russian Cossacks to the present day.
 The basic resource for life support is housing as a product of the creative activity of the Cossacks and a form of their territorial-spatial localisation within Cossack settlements. The cultural vitalist narrative presents traditional Cossack food, considered in a chronotopic key, positioning Cossack communities as a social group with rational consumption and at the same time external self-presentation.
 Historically, Cossacks have had predominant relationships with such an important resource for life support as clothing, and here we encounter profound symbolic interactionism in the self-interpretation of the Cossack costume. In other words, three key categories of Cossack everyday life are taken as an example for interdisciplinary analysis: housing, food, and clothing. This article is dedicated to their study by two scientists who have been working fruitfully in the capital of the world and Russian Cossacks, the city of Novocherkassk.

The Use of Information Technologies to Automate the Implementation of the Legal Protocol of the Copyright Holder’s Actions for the Protection of Copyright and (or) Related Rights

Introduction. In the information society, where information is a key resource, the protection of copyright and (or) related rights is an important issue. According to the amount and speed of violations, protection of the rights of popular works can be time-consuming and costly. To increase the effectiveness of responding to violations, the copyright holder has the right to use automation tools for the implementation of the legal protocol of actions. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The article observes the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of an effective legal protocol of the actions of the copyright holder and the definition of ICT for the automation of these activities. When conducting the research, system analysis, comparative legal analysis, conceptual and logical modeling were used. Results. The author’s classification of two groups of methods used by copyright holders to protect copyright and (or) related rights is presented. The author’s legal protocol of actions regarding the possibility of using ICT for its automation is specified. Discussion and Conclusion. The developed legal protocol of the copyright holder’s actions for the protection of copyright and (or) related rights is a structural element of the general legal protocol of actions for the protection of intellectual property. Taking into account the automatization of repetitive actions the practical application will allow to increase the effectiveness of the rights protection process.

Aesthetic Experience and Popularity Ratings for Controversial and Non-Controversial Artworks Using Machine Learning Ranking

Currently, a substantial portion of images snapped at exhibitions and galleries on social media demonstrates that aesthetic experience is not restricted to the confines of cultural institutions. The primary objective of this paper is to examine whether the content or aspect of an artwork influences the aesthetic experience of the viewer and to measure the artwork’s social media popularity. To compare controversial works of art with those whose design, qualities, or intended message are non-controversial, we first sought out controversial works. A variety of artworks were revealed on Instagram; thus, the objective was to identify a non-controversial artwork published in the same year as each controversial artwork. We adhered to the complete procedure for cleansing, standardizing, and transforming the data to ensure comparability. Popularity was measured using a ranking algorithm and quantitative approaches for the recognition and statistical measurement of emotions. In addition, the exhaustive literature survey on models of aesthetic experience revealed no link between the experience of art and its social media popularity. Considering this, we have proposed, among other things, a new framework for interacting with art that integrates these parameters. According to the findings, controversial artworks elicited stronger emotions than non-controversial artworks. Furthermore, investigations have determined the three most popular works of art in each category. Under the scrutiny of social media, these results may inspire future research on the popularity of museum artworks and the design of aesthetic experiences.

Engendered Perceptions

Abstract This article considers how Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials understood, perceived, and experienced enemy female tewu (special agent) activities and “honey traps” during the early People’s Republic of China. Drawing upon internally circulated party reports and newsletters, speeches of officials, newspapers, films, literature, and dramas, it finds that officials saw enemy female tewu as real threats that had tangible impact on both civilians and men affiliated with the party through honey traps and gendered manipulations. It further argues that narratives of female tewu in official instructions, newspaper reports, and popular cultural works played a larger role in the CCP’s broader efforts to combat and resist enemy espionage than previously understood. This article contextualises existing arguments about CCP counterespionage propaganda. It counterbalances perspectives that suggest the utilisation of these narratives was largely based on irrational wartime sentiments, with the primary aim of increasing the party’s societal control.

Natural Theology of Herman Samuel Reimarus

Hermann Samuel Reimarus, an eighteenth-century German philologist and theologian, authored in the last two decades of his life fairly popular works on physico-theology. He proposed two proofs for the existence of God, a version of cosmological proof in which he rather ineptly struggled with the problem of infinity, and physico-theological proof in which he focused on the world of animals – animal anatomy, physiology, and the animal way of life – to show that without the assumption of God as the Creator the phenomena in the animal world cannot be meaningfully explained. Such investigations were important for Reimarus for eschatological reasons, although he did not discuss in any depth human eschatological prospects.

French Reception of the Works by Olzhas Suleimenov

The paper explores the French reception of the works by the Kazakh poet Olzhas Suleimenov. The main goal of the study is to comprehend and summarize this reception as an independent cohesive process. The authors emphasize the role of the translation of Suleimenov's works in creating a positive image of the Kazakh poet in France. The study analyzes the key points of the penetration of Suleimenov's texts into French culture, beginning in the 1970s. Particular attention is paid to reviews of the poem "Earth, Bow Down to Man!", poetry collections "The Book of Clay" and "Transformation of Fire," as well as the reception of his popular science work "Az i IA." As a result of the study, based on the positive French reception of Suleimenov's work, the authors conclude that there is a growing prestige of Kazakh literature and its gradual integration into international culture.

Linguopragmatic adaptation of the synodal translation of biblical texts in various genres of graphic novels

The article highlights the main trends in the development of painted narratives known as illuminated manuscripts from the perspective of their transformation into religious-adventure comics and presents the analysis of the brief history of its emergence and transformation. Special attention is paid to the evolution of illuminated manuscripts from ancient cave paintings and manuscript illustrations to contemporary comics. In particular, the study reveals that illuminated manuscripts or painted narratives originated in ancient times as a means of conveying information and stories. They were depicted on rocks, temple walls, and later in manuscripts. As illuminated manuscripts evolved, they became more complex and multifaceted, combining images with text to narrate stories. However, to overcome the barriers of linguistic diversity, it was necessary to find a method of adapting illuminated manuscripts for different cultures and languages. Thus, comics, using a sequence of images with short texts to tell a story, emerged in the late 19th century and gained popularity worldwide. They helped artists and writers combine visuals and dialogue to create engaging and captivating narratives. Later on, comics found their application in religious themes as well. The history of the development of religious-adventure comics attests to their popularity and influence on culture. Religious-adventure comics became a means of popularizing religious stories, moral and spiritual values among many readers, especially the young ones. In addition to religious themes, comics cover a wide range of genres, including adventures, fantasy, mysticism, and social issues. They can come in various formats, from comic strips to graphic novels. The research results provide the analysis of comics, focusing on the most popular works and genres in this field. At the same time, the linguo-pragmatic adaptation of the synodal translation of biblical texts in multi-genre graphic prose has prospects for investigating linguistic means, stylistic devices, translation solutions, and their impact on the perception of the text. It can show how graphic images, composition, and text placement influence the conveyance of its content and identify which genres of biblical texts are the most amenable to adaptation in graphic prose and what aspects of the genre change in such adaptation.

2chADCNN: A Template Matching Network for Season-Changing UAV Aerial Images and Satellite Imagery

Visual navigation based on image matching has become one of the most important research fields for UAVs to achieve autonomous navigation, because of its low cost, strong anti-jamming ability, and high performance. Currently, numerous positioning and navigation methods based on visual information have been proposed for UAV navigation. However, the appearance, shape, color, and texture of objects can change significantly due to different lighting conditions, shadows, and surface coverage during different seasons, such as vegetation cover in summer or ice and snow cover in winter. These changes pose greater challenges for feature-based image matching methods. This encouraged us to overcome the limitations of previous works, which did not consider significant seasonal changes such as snow-covered UAV aerial images, by proposing an image matching method using season-changing UAV aerial images and satellite imagery. Following the pipeline of a two-channel deep convolutional neural network, we first pre-scaled the UAV aerial images, ensuring that the UAV aerial images and satellite imagery had the same ground sampling distance. Then, we introduced attention mechanisms to provide additional supervision for both low-level local features and high-level global features, resulting in a new season-specific feature representation. The similarity between image patches was calculated using a similarity measurement layer composed of two fully connected layers. Subsequently, we conducted template matching to estimate the UAV matching position with the highest similarity. Finally, we validated our proposed method on both synthetic and real UAV aerial image datasets, and conducted direct comparisons with previous popular works. The experimental results demonstrated that our method achieved the highest matching accuracy on multi-temporal and multi-season images.
