This symbol system was directly conveyed by a series medley shape signs, many-faceted color signs and decorated craft signs of pleated skirt. Its origination, accumulation, continual process and development were greatly associated with the life style and paddy culture of waterside villages, such as the folk religion, social life, artistic philosophy, regional culture, the landform of waterside villages and the humanity environment. So the folk costume was the significant sign of practical function and also the significative sign of folk traditional culture, both of which composed the costume cultural symbol system of waterside villages of Southern Yangtze called ＂ integration of aesthetic and practical function＂.展开更多

To achieve this objective, we focused on the Peruvian Andes, specifically on Coporaque, an Indigenous village founded in the 16th centuryduring colonial times. In this locality, qualitative research was carried out using the phenomenological approach, prioritizing the lived experience of the native inhabitants in their daily“life world” through in-depth interviews and direct observations. Our results broaden understanding of the Andean vernacular dwelling, making visible the ways in which the “Wasi” becomes a stage for the symbolic occurrence of domesticity. The results reveal several significantnarratives on domesticity that support and give coherence to the life of these Indigenous communities, coinciding with the symbolic value that other cultures have attributed to dwellings.The study was able to conclude on the Indigenous house’s function in sustaining regional identities and how its physical structure is embodied in the inhabitants until it becomes one of thelast bastions of resistance against the homogenizing pressure that the globalized world tries toexert on native peoples.展开更多

文摘This paper explores the rich structure of peakon and pseudo-peakon solutions for a class of higher-order b-family equations,referred to as the J-th b-family(J-bF)equations.We propose several conjectures concerning the weak solutions of these equations,including a b-independent pseudo-peakon solution,a b-independent peakon solution,and a b-dependent peakon solution.These conjectures are analytically verified for J≤14 and/or J≤9 using the symbolic computation system MAPLE,which includes a built-in definition of the higher-order derivatives of the sign function.The b-independent pseudo-peakon solution is a 3rd-order pseudo-peakon for general arbitrary constants,with higher-order pseudo-peakons derived under specific parameter constraints.Additionally,we identify both b-independent and b-dependent peakon solutions,highlighting their distinct properties and the nuanced relationship between the parameters b and J.The existence of these solutions underscores the rich dynamical structure of the J-bF equations and generalizes previous results for lower-order equations.Future research directions include higher-order generalizations,rigorous proofs of the conjectures,interactions between different types of peakons and pseudo-peakons,stability analysis,and potential physical applications.These advancements significantly contribute to the understanding of peakon systems and their broader implications in mathematics and physics.
文摘Due to the neglect of the retrieval of communication parameters(including the symbol rate,the symbol timing offset,and the carrier frequency),the existing non-cooperative communication mode recognizers suffer from the generality ability degradation and severe difficulty in distinguishing a large number of modulation modes,etc.To overcome these drawbacks,this paper proposes an efficient communication mode recognizer consisting of communication parameter estimation,the constellation diagram retrieval,and a classification network.In particular,we define a 2-D symbol synchronization metric to retrieve both the symbol rate and the symbol timing offset,whereas a constellation dispersity annealing procedure is devised to correct the carrier frequency accurately.Owing to the accurate estimation of these crucial parameters,high-regularity constellation maps can be retrieved and thus simplify the subsequent classification work.Numerical results show that the proposed communication mode recognizer acquires higher classification accuracy,stronger anti-noise robustness,and higher applicability of distinguishing multiple types,which presents the proposed scheme with vast applicable potentials in non-cooperative scenarios.

文摘Ancient villages in Lingnan serve as crucial carriers of Lingnan culture.Their abundant cultural symbols now face the dual task of inheritance and innovation in the digital era.Drawing on Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding theory,this study explores how representative cultural symbols of Lingnan’s ancient villages are digitally translated and disseminated.By analyzing specific cases,it elucidates the logic of audience interaction and consumption during the decoding of these digital cultural symbols.This study aims to offer valuable insights for revitalizing ancient village culture and informing its sustainable industrial development.
文摘The character of Lensky in Eugene Onegin is one of the most discussed figures in the novel.He is the friend of Eugene Onegin and represents a contradictory personality.In the novel,Lensky displays a complex set of characteristics,appearing both elegant and noble on the outside,while concealing a deep inner loneliness and conflict.His attitude toward love and his dissatisfaction with society make him a dramatic and profound character in the story.By analyzing the character of Lensky,we can explore his role in the novel and his relationships with other characters.Lensky’s presence not only enriches the plot but also presents a figure filled with inner contradictions and emotional struggles.His friendship and rivalry with Eugene Onegin,as well as his admiration and helplessness in regard to Olga,showcase his complex inner world and reflections on life.Furthermore,the character of Lensky carries a certain symbolic significance.He can be seen as a metaphor for Russian society and culture at the time.His loneliness and inner conflict symbolize the limitations of Russian society and culture,while also reflecting Pushkin’s idealized pursuit of love and friendship,as well as his critical view of reality.In conclusion,through a deep analysis of Lensky’s character,we can better understand the portrayal of characters and the development of the plot in Eugene Onegin.It also provides readers with a perspective on Pushkin’s thoughts and observations on human nature,society,and culture.
