Byintroducing/using the concept of information, it is shown that this concept includes two facets, one of themreferring to the common communications and another one referring to a hidden/structuring matter-relatedinformation, effectively acting in the human body and in the living systems, which determines the dynamicinter-change of information between specific structures of the organism by electric/electronic/chemical agents andgenetic/epigenetic processes. It is shown that the maintenance of body, permanently and obligatory depending onthe external matter (foods, air, water) resources, needed to provide both the structuring/restructuring basic materialand energy, determines the necessary existence of an info-managing system, administrating the internalmechano-chemical/physical processes. As a natural consequence, such a system should organize and assure ownsurvival by an effective informational operability to detect the external food resources, to select the appropriateinterest information and to decide as a function of circumstances. One important component in such aninformational system is memory, allowing to dispose of the reference informational data for analysis/comparisonand the selection between good and bad binary possible decisions. The memory receives and stores thereforesignals from external reality and from the body itself, referring to the emotional reaction, digestion status, creation,and inherited predilections, within specific info-neural communication circuits between the brain and bodyexecution/sensitive organs, the human body appearing as an integrated info-matter self-managed dynamic system.The specific body components memorize information with different degrees of info-integration: short/long-termintegration, emotive/action reaction, info-abilities, culminating with the integration in the chromosomal structuresby epigenetic processes. The new acquired information is transgenerationally transmissible, and is manifested asnew traits, showing the adaptation capability of the human and close relation between mind and body. Analyzingthe results of such a mind-body informational model in comparison with the earlier assumed/proposed/assertedarchaic, Greek and Occidental philosophies, which represent only partial aspects of this relation, it is shown thatthis informational model, elaborated in terms of information on the basis of scientific reasons and arguments,constitutes a general, realist, and coherent model of the mind-body relation, able to integrate and/or explain most ofthe others.展开更多

文摘Global challenges like epidemics,wars,and climate change expose humans to life-and-death threats daily,triggering death anxiety and subsequent death reflection,which involves deliberate cognitive processing of mortality.While some studies have shown the positive impacts of death reflection,such as on well-being,the relationship between death reflection and existential well-being,closely related to life and death,remains unexplored.This study aimed to investigate the effects of death reflection on existential well-being and the mediating role of relational self-esteem.675 university students from Sichuan and Hubei,China,completed the death reflection scale,relational self-esteem scale,and the existential well-being subscale of the spiritual well-being scale.Results indicated that death reflection was positively correlated with both relational self-esteem and existential well-being,and relational self-esteem was positively related to existential well-being.Mediation analysis confirmed that relational self-esteem mediated the relationship between death reflection and existential well-being.This study not only enriches the research content on the positive effects of death reflection theoretically,but also holds significant practical value in guiding individuals who have experienced death or been exposed to death-related information in their psychological reconstruction and recovery.

文摘Purpose:This paper presents a new semi-automatic methodology for identifying inter-actor relationships by discerning viewpoints in non-social,political textual corpora.Although previous research has successfully discerned viewpoints,biases,and affiliations based on textual features,the task of relationship analysis in the absence of interactional data remains unaddressed.Design/methodology/approach:We introduce a new paradigm for topic representation as a dynamic,continuous,multi-viewpoint spectrum based on the representation of viewpoints as vectors that capture common topical themes.As a proof of concept,we applied this paradigm to scrutinize the inter-state relationships reflected in the speeches of the UN General Assembly Debate Corpus(UNGDC).Findings:The proposed paradigm effectively identifies discursive trends in UNGDC.Our analysis reveals common attitudes towards the topic and their prominence among different groups of actors and facilitates the analysis of relationships between actors through a quantitative representation of viewpoint similarity.The method also successfully captured temporal shifts in viewpoints and overall discourse trends,correlating with major geopolitical events.Research limitations:One limitation of this study is the method’s sensitivity to data sparsity,which can skew viewpoint representations in cases of low topic involvement.Practical implications:The proposed paradigm can be utilized by scholars in political science and other domains as a tool for semi-automated unsupervised textual analysis of various non-social textual sources,enabling the discovery of latent relationships between actors and the modeling of viewpoints in complex topics.Originality/value:This study presents a novel framework for unsupervised semi-automatic textual analysis of relationships in non-social corpora through a new approach for the representation of viewpoints as thematic vectors.

文摘Relation extraction plays a crucial role in numerous downstream tasks.Dialogue relation extraction focuses on identifying relations between two arguments within a given dialogue.To tackle the problem of low information density in dialogues,methods based on trigger enhancement have been proposed,yielding positive results.However,trigger enhancement faces challenges,which cause suboptimal model performance.First,the proportion of annotated triggers is low in DialogRE.Second,feature representations of triggers and arguments often contain conflicting information.In this paper,we propose a novel Multi-Feature Filtering and Fusion trigger enhancement approach to overcome these limitations.We first obtain representations of arguments,and triggers that contain rich semantic information through attention and gate methods.Then,we design a feature filtering mechanism that eliminates conflicting features in the encoding of trigger prototype representations and their corresponding argument pairs.Additionally,we utilize large language models to create prompts based on Chain-of-Thought and In-context Learning for automated trigger extraction.Experiments show that our model increases the average F1 score by 1.3%in the dialogue relation extraction task.Ablation and case studies confirm the effectiveness of our model.Furthermore,the feature filtering method effectively integrates with other trigger enhancement models,enhancing overall performance and demonstrating its ability to resolve feature conflicts.

文摘Metastable β titanium alloy is an ideal material for lightweight and high strength due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.However,overcoming the trade-off relation between strength and ductility remains a significant challenge.In this study,the mechanical properties of Ti-38644 alloy were optimized by introducing a heterogeneous bi-grain bi-lamella(BG-BL)structure through a well-designed combination of rolling,drawing and heat treatment.The results demonstrate that the present BG-BL Ti-38644 alloy shows a tensile strength of~1500 MPa and a total elongation of 18%.In particular,the high strength-elongation combination of the BG-BL Ti-38644 alloy breakthroughs the trade-off relation in all the titanium alloys available.The recrystallized grains with low dislocation enhance the ductility of the Ti-38644 alloy,while the highly distorted elongated grains mainly contribute to the high strength.The present study provides a new principle for designing Ti alloys with superior strength and ductility.
文摘In contemporary society,language transcends its function as a mere tool for communication.It is intrinsically linked to a people’s culture,values,and worldview.This observation is particularly salient in our globalized world,where linguistic considerations have assumed strategic importance.Recognizing this potential,numerous states are seeking to bolster their international relations by prioritizing the teaching of their languages.It is within this context that we focus our attention on the teaching of Chinese in Congo-Brazzaville.Our objective is to investigate the significance of this language in consolidating bilateral relations between China and Congo.To achieve this,we analyze the current state of Chinese language instruction within the Congolese educational system,emphasize the implications of its dissemination,and propose potential avenues for improvement.Our approach is qualitative,drawing upon observations,interviews,and a review of existing literature.We aim to understand how the teaching of Chinese can contribute to the economic,cultural,and social development of Congo,while simultaneously strengthening ties with China.
文摘Trump's victory in November 2024 once again had a strong impact on the European Union.However,unlike when Trump won the election for the first time in 2016,there have been some disturbing development trends in US-Europe relations.The imbalance in relations between the US and Europe has become even more pronounced.Whether in important fields such as the economy,finance,science and technology,or the military,the gap between the European Union and the United States is widening.Meanwhile,Europe's dependence on the United States is also increasing.Especially since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis,it has formed an all-round dependence on the United States in terms of security,energy,markets,as well as capital and technology.The increasing imbalance in US-Europe relations has triggered anxiety in Europe,including concerns that Europe might become a“vassal”of the United States.During Trump's second term,Europe may be more inclined to cater to the United States and submit to its demands more often.However,under internal and external pressures,it may also accelerate the process of promoting strategic autonomy.Where the European Union will go will largely depend on the direction and intensity of policy adjustments during Trump's second term.

文摘China’s path to modernization,which embodies a unique developmental model characterized by high-quality development,common prosperity,harmony with nature,and peaceful coexistence,is a multifaceted process that advances progress on multiple fronts.This paper applies two analytical lenses to the study of intergovernmental fiscal relations:multi-level governance,where different levels of government interact,and multi-objective decision-making,where multiple goals are pursued simultaneously.From this perspective,it puts forward three core propositions.First,the evolution of fiscal relations is shaped primarily by the central government’s need to balance incentivization,coordination,and control.Second,these relations are constrained by objective factors such as the output elasticity of loacl government actions,cost coefficients,externalities,and uncertainty.Third,the effectiveness of both central and local governments depends on the design of fiscal relations,as well as on their objectives,the output elasticity of actions,and costs.In essence,effective intergovernmental fiscal relations require a balance between centralized leadership and local initiative.Using this framework,the paper examines how changes in China’s fiscal system have influenced modernization across different historical periods,offering a theoretical model tailored to China’s national context.

文摘Feature selection methods rooted in rough sets confront two notable limitations:their high computa-tional complexity and sensitivity to noise,rendering them impractical for managing large-scale and noisy datasets.The primary issue stems from these methods’undue reliance on all samples.To overcome these challenges,we introduce the concept of cross-similarity grounded in a robust fuzzy relation and design a rapid and robust feature selection algorithm.Firstly,we construct a robust fuzzy relation by introducing a truncation parameter.Then,based on this fuzzy relation,we propose the concept of cross-similarity,which emphasizes the sample-to-sample similarity relations that uniquely determine feature importance,rather than considering all such relations equally.After studying the manifestations and properties of cross-similarity across different fuzzy granularities,we propose a forward greedy feature selection algorithm that leverages cross-similarity as the foundation for information measurement.This algorithm significantly reduces the time complexity from O(m2n2)to O(mn2).Experimental findings reveal that the average runtime of five state-of-the-art comparison algorithms is roughly 3.7 times longer than our algorithm,while our algorithm achieves an average accuracy that surpasses those of the five comparison algorithms by approximately 3.52%.This underscores the effectiveness of our approach.This paper paves the way for applying feature selection algorithms grounded in fuzzy rough sets to large-scale gene datasets.
