Rural–urban divide and identity conflicts of migrant Muslim students in Northwest China

Abstract

A huge flow of internal migrants in China is an indicator of the significant changes in the geographical and cultural patterns brought by China’s recent economic growth. The Hui (10.6 million), as one of the largest ethnic minority groups in China, and the Dongxiang, with almost 100% of them holding the Islamic belief, are migrating from rural areas to urban centers in Northwest China. Analyzing the qualitative data from narrative stories, thematic photos, group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and field observations, this study interprets the cultural experience of rural Muslim migrant students in Chinese public schools and examines their complex and fluid rural–urban identities. This study further discusses the possibilities of including and integrating rural migrant students in cities.     

张家界市博物馆明代铜佛像的多视角影像三维重建探索

由于多视角影像三维重建具有数据采集方便灵活、硬件成本低、操作简单、自动化程度高的特点,因此,选用多视角影像三维重建技术对张家界市博物馆明代铜佛像进行三维建模。通过描述佛像立面与空心底部的影像采集,再应用Agisoft PhotoScan软件进行三维重建的过程;从控制点的三维坐标与误差数值、模型成像与影像图的误差分析,得出佛像三维模型的精度误差微小的结论,证明该技术具有操作简单、模型成像清晰的特点。与三维激光扫描技术相比较,多视角影像三维重建技术具有成本费用低、工作流程高效简捷的优势,更适合在文物工作中推广运用。     

A slender new archaic beetle in Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata)

Jarzembowski, Edmund A., Wang, B. &; Zheng, D., October 2017. A slender new archaic beetle in Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata). Alcheringa 42, 110–114. ISSN 0311-5518.

A new archostematan beetle, Clessidromma palmeri gen. et sp. nov. (Insecta: Coleoptera) is described from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from northern Myanmar. It has a uniquely specialized body form for which a new stem tribe, Clessidromatini trib. nov., is proposed in the subfamily Ommatinae of the family Cupedidae sensu lato.

Revised conodont and fusuline biostratigraphy of the Bamchi Formation (Pyongan Supergroup) at the Bamchi section,Yeongwol and the Carboniferous–Permian boundary in South Korea

Wang, Q., Wang, Y., Qi, Y., Wang, X., Choh, S.J., Lee, D.C. & Lee, D.J., November 2017. Yeongwol and the Carboniferous–Permian boundary in South Korea. Alcheringa 42, 245–258. ISSN 0311-5518

Six conodont and one fusuline zones are recognized on basis of a total of 25 conodont and 13 fusuline species (including seven unidentified species or species given with cf. or aff. in total) from the Bamchi Formation, Yeongwol, Korea. The conodont zones include the Streptognathodus bellus, S. isolatus, S. cristellaris, S. sigmoidalis, S. fusus and S. barskovi zones in ascending order, which can be correlated with the conodont zones spanning the uppermost Gzhelian to Asselian Age of the Permian globally. The fusuline zone is named the Rugosofusulina complicata–Pseudoschwagerina paraborealis zone. The co-occurrence of the conodont Streptognathodus isolatus (the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point index for the base of Permian) and Pseudoschwagerina (a Permian inflated fusuline) indicates that the Carboniferous–Permian boundary can be placed in the lower part of the Bamchi Formation in South Korea.

社会成本分析:制度设置的基本法则——以关于惩戒“包二奶”行为的讨论为例

制度设置必须考虑成本与收益问题。以关于惩戒“包二奶”的讨论为例,“道德派”强调自由与隐私权,主张“把道德的东西还给道德”,“法律派”认为,道德无力时应用法律规范。以成本分析法看,自由与隐私权是社会性的,在家庭仍有社会成本与收益效应时,“包二奶”应得到惩戒,道德惩戒的成本低廉,但在陌生人社会作用有限,法律惩戒成本稍高,但收益可靠。
