The evolutionary mechanism of haze collaborative governance: novel evidence from a tripartite evolutionary game model and a case study in China

Zhenhua Zhang, Guoxing Zhang, Yi Hu, Yating Jiang, Cheng Zhou, Jiahui Ma

Summary: The topic of haze collaborative governance has attracted worldwide attention as a hot policy issue. However, existing studies have neglected the role of haze collaborative governance in the process of central environmental protection inspection (CEPI). This paper explores the evolutionary mechanism of haze collaborative governance among China's central and local governments using a tripartite evolutionary game model and verifies its findings through a case study of CEPI for air pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding regions. The results highlight the factors influencing haze collaborative governance, such as the performance evaluation system, policy implementation cost, clean government construction, industrial transfer trend, fiscal subsidy, environmental inspection cost, environmental accountability, and public participation. Effective measures, including optimizing performance evaluation systems, reducing policy implementation costs through cost-sharing, and strengthening clean government construction, are crucial for promoting the full implementation of air pollution control policies and achieving successful haze collaborative governance.

The Biosemiotic Fundamentals of Aesthetics: Beauty is the Perfect Semiotic Fitting

Kalevi Kull

Summary: This model proposes that aesthetics is based on biosemiotic processes and introduces non-anthropomorphic aesthetics. It argues that beauty is defined by perfect semiotic fitting and extends this definition to all species. The process of perceiving beauty is similar to the process of building beauty. Learning tends towards perfection and semiotic fitting, resulting in beauty.

The characteristics and influencing factors of the spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage in the Yellow River Basin of China

Xin Nie, Yong Xie, Xiaoxiao Xie, Lunxing Zheng

Summary: This paper explores the characteristics and influencing factors of the spatial distribution of 889 national intangible cultural heritage sites in the Yellow River basin of China. The results show that the distribution of these sites varies significantly among provinces, with most of them being concentrated in the central and western regions. Various types of intangible cultural heritage display an aggregated distribution pattern. Highway density, GDP, population density, and urbanization level are the key factors influencing the spatial distribution of these heritage sites. Additionally, the river system and topography also have certain effects on their distribution.

Gravity models do not explain, and cannot predict, international migration dynamics

Robert M. Beyer, Jacob Schewe, Hermann Lotze-Campen

Summary: Recent research has found limitations in widely used gravity models when describing spatiotemporal variations in international migration, raising concerns about the statistical validity of future predictions. This suggests that gravity models may not be suitable for informing policymakers about migration trajectories in the coming years and decades.

Is a Real Artwork Better than a Reproduction? A Meta-Analysis of the Genuineness Effect

Eva Specker, Anna Fekete, MacKeznie D. Trupp, Helmut Leder

Summary: In this study, the researchers used meta-analysis to assess the evidence for the genuineness effect and found that the effect seemed to disappear when considering confounding factors. They also identified additional moderators and provided explanations for why the effect may not have been found. The findings suggest that more research is needed to fully understand the genuineness effect.

Non-Invasive Raman Analysis of 18th Century Chinese Export/Armorial Overglazed Porcelain: Identification of the Different Enameling Techniques

Philippe Colomban, Anh-Tu Ngo, Nicolas Fournery

Summary: Six rare porcelains from the Qing Dynasty were analyzed using non-invasive Raman microspectrometry. The study found that European ingredients and/or recipes were used, indicating China's role as both an importer of European know-how and an exporter of enameled products with imported technologies during the 18th century. Different recipes or raw materials may be the signature of different workshops.

Comparative Analysis Between the Main 3D Scanning Techniques: Photogrammetry, Terrestrial Laser Scanner, and Structured Light Scanner in Religious Imagery: The Case of The Holy Christ of the Blood

Rafael Melendreras Ruiz, Ma Teresa Marin Torres, Paloma Sanchez Allegue

Summary: In recent years, 3D scanning has become the main tool for recording and preserving cultural heritage. It is highly demanded by historians, curators, and art restorers to work on digital models. Through 3D scanning, we can preserve accurate digital models of our heritage, some of which are currently destroyed. This article introduces the main digitization techniques used in sculpture heritage and provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of their advantages and disadvantages.

Proverbial factors in translating Tuvan proverbs in the light of normative and poly-lingual paremiography (as contrasted to Russian and English languages)

Mikhail A. Bredis, Eugene Eu Ivanov

Summary: This study aims to translate Tuvan proverbs and analyze the factors and methods involved in the translation process. The lack of translations into languages other than Russian hinders the accurate representation of the specific nature of Tuvan proverbs. Through analysis of existing materials, we found that the semantic variability, composition and lexico-grammatical structure of proverbs, as well as the presence of ethnically and culturally marked notions and tropes, are the most crucial factors in translation.

Reconceptualizing academic dishonesty as a struggle for intersubjective recognition: a new theoretical model

Jasper Roe

Summary: This article reviews current research on academic dishonesty in higher education and seeks to develop a new theoretical understanding based on social philosophy. The proposed theory suggests that students engage in academically dishonest practices not due to a moral deficit, but because of a struggle for intersubjective recognition and a subtle form of privatized resistance.
