However, indices for evaluating the modernization of water conservancy project management are usually unobtainable in practical applications. Conducting appropriate extension of the classical rough set theory and then applying it to an incomplete information system are the key to the application of the rough set theory Based on analysis of some extended rough set models in incomplete information systems, a rough set model based on the θ-improved limited tolerance relation is put forward. At the same time, upper approximation and lower approximation are defined under this improved relation. According to the evaluation index system and management practices, the threshold for θ is defined. An example study indicates the practicability and maneuverability of the model.展开更多

However, most of these studies started mainly from the standpoint of the city govemment, drumming for the land- scape-oriented urbanization, namely pulling-down the urban village and constructing the splendid residence or business buildings. The article maintains that the most important thing the city government should do is to pay much attention to the sustainable living of urban villagers, who would lose their main income source, namely, the collective dividend and the family housing rent. The single method of compensation has been proved to be harmful to the villagers＇ community, in which some young villagers relying on rent were no longer to do anything but stay at home. On the other hand, considering the floating population has become the main stream of renters in urban villages, the emergence of urban villages was inevitable and would continue to exist in a long time under the socio-economic transition in urban China and globalization. Based on the analysis above, the transformation of urban village should take more concerns on the housing demands of floating population besides compensation for local villagers. Meanwhile, it is necessary to avoid the “landscape-oriented urbanization” without the “peasant-to-citizen” transformation.展开更多

The researchers can be divided into two schools according to their emphasis. One emphasizes particularly the urban development, and the other pays attention to the urban-rural income gap. However, there is a very strong association between urbanization rate and urban-rural inequality. As far as it goes, there is a paradox between urbanization and urban-rural inequality in China. This main reason lies' in the different temporal and spatial scales chosen by the scholars. Making use of correlative analysis and wavelet method, this paper rethinks and sums up the commonly evolving characteristics and trends between urbanization and urban-rural gap from 1950s to now. There is an intensively positive correlation between urbanization and urban- rural consumption gap. In general, with the acceleration of urbanization, urban-rural gap of China has undergone three stages of cyclical fluctuations. The rapid urbanization results in the increase of urban-rural highly risky. In addition, the special stage of urbanization is the other reason that expands urban-rural gap.展开更多

文摘The generation of terminology related to Rhetoric in pre-modern Japan evolved in roughly three phases.The first phase(1603-1771),dominated by linguistic contact with missionaries,rendered“Rhetorica”by direct katakana transliteration as retorika(レトリカ)or retōrika(レトーリカ)during the initial introduction of Western learning.This phase is characterized by knowledge transplantation primarily through transliteration.In the second phase(1771-1789),as Western knowledge was introduced more systematically via Chinese translations of Western works—especially through the dissemination of Xi Xue Fan and Tengaku shokan taiisho,which used Lèduólǐjiāas the translation of“Rhetorica”—Japanese intellectuals gained a preliminary,systematic understanding of the content,nature,and teaching methods of Western rhetoric.The third phase began in the Kansei era(1789),when the term giron was gradually adopted as a translation of Western logic and applied in related translation practices.By 1814,the term rhetorick was clearly translated as giron in Angeria gorin taisei.Research evidence suggests that the term giron originated from the“Giron no hō”proposed in Xi Xue Fan,and that this book clearly influenced the adoption of“giron”in Dutch-Japanese dictionaries.From the first to the third phase,both Japanese missionaries and Chinese intellectuals drew on Buddhist knowledge to introduce Western rhetoric,interpreting it through terms such as dangi,rongi and giron,thereby reframing it within the Buddhist concept of debate.After the Meiji period,giron was gradually abandoned and replaced by shūji.This shift in terminology not only marked the modernization of Japan’s rhetorical terminology system but also signaled a cognitive and identity transformation:Japanese intellectuals began to reposition China from an object of cultural identification to a cultural“Other”.
