Rollback,scissor-like closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and formation of an orocline:magmatic migration based on a large archive of age dataOA

Tracing the closure of oceans with irregular margins and the formation of an orocline are crucial for understanding plate reconstruction and continental assembly.The eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt,where the Mongol-Okhotsk orocline is situated,is one of the world’s largest magmatic provinces.Using a large data set of U-Pb zircon ages,we updated the timing of many published igneous rocks,which allowed us to recognize tightly ’folded’ linear Carboniferous-Jurassic magmatic belts that wrap arou...     

古文字中“(鹿文)”字与麒麟原型考——兼论麒麟圣化为灵兽的原因

古文字中的(鹿文),即古文献中所说的麒麟,单称麟或麐。麒麟身上有铠甲式的外表和圆泡钉式的纹斑肉甲,这也是古人之所以称之为麐((鹿文))或麟的原因。麒麟头顶部只有一只角,古人认为其与鹿属动物相似。根据头上独肉角、铠甲式外表、圆泡钉式肉甲与马蹄类圆蹄,可知其原型实为印度犀牛。麒麟古代被视为四灵兽之一,其特点与印度犀牛的生活习性有关。麒麟虽为庞然大物,但不好斗,故被视为仁兽。在古代,印度犀牛因气候环境的变迁而不断南移,中原已很少见到,偶尔来到中原,便被认为是因圣王仁德而来,这便是麒麟被圣化为灵兽的重要原由。

舞动的古朴魅影,腾飞的自然文明——从文学地理学的角度解读《羽蛇》

作为一种新的文学研究方法,从文学地理学角度研究文学与从伦理学、政治学或者是宗教学的角度研究文学具有同等重要的意义。通过细读文本,从文学地理学中自然地理景观和民俗风情的视角来解读劳伦斯的作品《羽蛇》,可以发现:劳伦斯对自然的崇尚,对人与自然和谐关系的推崇,以及对西方基督教文明的公然反抗。他主张在思想上的求新和在精神上对自由的追求,并且主张在人民生活中去寻找自我。     

Study of C-Reactive Protein and Myocardial Infarction in the Indian Population

To analyse the association of high sensitivity C-reactive (hsCRP) protein levels and −717A/G single nucleotide polymorphism of CRP with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the Indian population. Study population included 100 MI cases wherein 32 patients had experienced previous MI (MI-Group-1), 68 MI cases were recruited at presentation (MI-Group-2) and equal number of age and gender matched healthy individuals. hsCRP levels were determined by ELISA and genotyping of −717A/G was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction digestion method. The −717A/G genotypes did not influence hsCRP level and their distribution did not differ between groups. However, in the present study hsCRP demonstrated significant correlation with BMI in controls of both the genders and with triglycerides in females of AMI at presentation who otherwise are with low risk profile. Identifying traditional risk factors associated with inflammation may help in controlling the acute event.

Rajnikant in Japan: Indian “superstardom” and low value markets

This paper draws attention to some questions thrown up by the increased circulation of mass-produced cultural commodities sourced from Asia in the relatively new markets of the region. Juxtaposing the short-lived success of the Indian star Rajnikant in Japan in the late 1990s and the unsuccessful attempt to promote Korean films in the Indian theatrical circuits a decade later, the paper argues that in spite of their considerable differences both instances foreground the difficulties cultural industries of Asia have in generating revenues in the region's markets. The paper goes on to elaborate on a model of stardom, exemplified by Rajnikant, which has evolved as a direct response to the challenges posed by low value markets.     

The Rise of Athletic Masculinity at the Carlisle Indian School, 1904–1913

Following the dismissal of Captain Richard Pratt from the position of superintendent in 1904, the Carlisle Indian School entered a new era. The school became more focused on vocational education and moved away from offering immediate civilisation to the students. The school even promoted Indian arts and crafts. This move was also reflected in sport at Carlisle. The school became determined to construct a successful athletic programme. This resulted in the rise of masculine gamesmanship among the athletes. This, combined with racial pride, formed the basis of the athletes' manhood in the post-Pratt era. Yet, despite the demonstration of superior masculinity through victories, the school still positioned the students as subordinate to white men. The players were portrayed as comparatively unintelligent; they were apparently incapable of actually coaching the team.     

印度季风与西风相互作用在现代青藏高原产生连锁式环境效应

西风与印度季风两大环流是控制青藏高原气候与环境变化的决定性因素。研究显示两大环流的影响范围和程度具有明显的空间分异:基于降水稳定同位素实测与模型模拟发现青藏高原现代西风与印度季风的相互作用特征表现为3种模态,即印度季风模态、西风模态和过渡模态。基于湖泊沉积记录的分析,发现3种模态主控范围在历史时期不断发生变化。3种模态对现代青藏高原环境产生连锁式环境效应,使得该区的冰川、湖泊、生态系统变化具有明显的区域特征,具体表现为印度季风模态的冰川强烈退缩,湖泊趋于萎缩;西风模态的冰川趋于稳定甚至部分出现前进,湖泊趋于扩张;过渡模态的冰川退缩程度减弱,湖泊变化不明显。西风模态的植被返青期提前,印度季风模态的植被返青期推后,而过渡模态的植被过程比较复杂。     

北美大地上的诗魂——兼谈美国印第安人诗歌与中国诗歌的比较

由于历史的原因 ,美国印第安人社会发展缓慢 ,在相当长的时间内 ,他们过着原始部落制的生活。在这种与大自然有着生死相依的关系下所产生的诗歌表达了他们崇尚自然、崇尚英勇战斗、热爱劳动、赞美生活的情感 ,也表达了他们对现实的不满与对幸福生活的向往与追求。
