The concept of peace in the Tao Te Ching
Get PDFThis thesis represents a first attempt to analyze Lao Tzu's main method of resolving the social and political problems in Ch'un Ch'iu and Warring States Periods. Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, suggested many solutions that could bring an end to the conflicts and to the ending of the disunity of China. Examples of these include the reform or abolishment of some ancient Chinese institutions as well as new principles for the enhancement and preservation of life. All these ideas were to become crystallised in Tao Te Ch'ing, which became an important religious text. In particular, the aspect of Lao Tzu's methods for solving the social and political problems of China in the Warring States Period needs more attention. In each chapter of the Tao Te Ch'ing there was a main emphasis on peace as the main method of developing social cohesion and as a cure to all fundamental human problems. Therefore, Lao Tzu's ideas about peace and his methods of solving the problems of the Warring States period are significant and from the main focus of the thesis

Une traversée stylistique de Crossings de Chuang Hua
No full textInternational audienceThis paper analyses the narratological and stylistic conditions that turn the reading of Chuang Hua’s novel into a rough crossing. By playing on complex narrative anachronies and by doing away with all standard markers of speech presentation, the text turns into an uncertain space in which the reader easily gets lost. More than to the action of crossing itself, a dynamic and oriented act, the term chosen for the title of the novel seems best to apply to the place where one crosses, a place of endless yet vital in-betweenness which emphasizes the potentialities of movement as such. Rejecting points or positions to the benefit of multiple and chaotic lignes de fuite, Chuang Hua makes the choice of rhizomic logic, in keeping with the fluid demands of hybrid identity.Cet article analyse les conditions narratologiques et stylistiques qui transforment la lecture du roman de Chuang Hua en traversée mouvementée. En jouant sur des anachronies narratives complexes et en éliminant tous les marqueurs standards de présentation du discours, le texte se transforme en un espace incertain dans lequel le lecteur se perd facilement. Plus qu’à l’action de traverser en elle-même, acte dynamique et orienté, le terme choisi pour le titre du roman semble avant tout renvoyer au lieu de passage lui-même, lieu d’un entre-deux infini mais vital qui met en avant les potentialités du mouvement en tant que tel. En rejetant les points ou les positions au profit de multiples et chaotiques lignes de fuite, Chuang Hua fait le choix d’une logique rhizomique, en lien avec les exigences de fluidité d’une identité hybride

An improved pragmatic approach to coded modulation design with multiple carrier frequencies
No full textPredicting hospitalization for heat-related illness at the census-tract level: Accuracy of a generic heat vulnerability index in phoenix, Arizona (USA)
No full textabstract: Background: Vulnerability mapping based on vulnerability indices is a pragmatic approach for highlighting the areas in a city where people are at the greatest risk of harm from heat, but the manner in which vulnerability is conceptualized influences the results.
Objectives: We tested a generic national heat-vulnerability index, based on a 10-variable indicator framework, using data on heat-related hospitalizations in Phoenix, Arizona. We also identified potential local risk factors not included in the generic indicators.
Methods: To evaluate the accuracy of the generic index in a city-specific context, we used factor scores, derived from a factor analysis using census tract–level characteristics, as independent variables, and heat hospitalizations (with census tracts categorized as zero-, moderate-, or highincidence) as dependent variables in a multinomial logistic regression model. We also compared the geographical differences between a vulnerability map derived from the generic index and one derived from actual heat-related hospitalizations at the census-tract scale.
Results: We found that the national-indicator framework correctly classified just over half (54%) of census tracts in Phoenix. Compared with all census tracts, high-vulnerability tracts that were misclassified by the index as zero-vulnerability tracts had higher average income and higher proportions of residents with a duration of residency < 5 years.
Conclusion: The generic indicators of vulnerability are useful, but they are sensitive to scale, measurement, and context. Decision makers need to consider the characteristics of their cities to determine how closely vulnerability maps based on generic indicators reflect actual risk of harm.Corresponding Author:
