On some equations concerning quantum electrodynamics coupled to quantum gravity, the gravitational contributions to the gauge couplings and quantum effects in the theory of gravitation: mathematical connections with some sector of String Theory and Number Theory
No full textThis paper is principally a review, a thesis, of principal results obtained from various authoritative theoretical physicists and mathematicians in some sectors of theoretical physics and mathematics.
In this paper in the Section 1, we have described some equations concerning the quantum electrodynamics coupled to quantum gravity. In the Section 2, we have described some equations concerning the gravitational contributions to the running of gauge couplings. In the Section 3, we have described some equations concerning some quantum effects in the theory of gravitation. In the Section 4, we have described some equations concerning the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory applied in string theory and some lemmas and equations concerning various gauge fields in any non-trivial quantum field theory for the pure Yang-Mills Lagrangian. Furthermore, in conclusion, in the Section 5, we have described various possible mathematical connections between the argument above mentioned and some sectors of Number Theory and String Theory, principally with some equations concerning the Ramanujan’s modular equations that are related to the physical vibrations of the bosonic strings and of the superstrings, some Ramanujan’s identities concerning π and the zeta strings
The Contributions of Professor Amartya Sen in the Field of Human Rights
No full textThis paper analyses the work of the Nobel Prize winning economist Professor Amartya Sen from the perspective of human rights. It assesses the ways in which Sen's research agenda has deepened and expanded human rights discourse in the disciplines of ethics and economics, and examines how his work has promoted cross-fertilisation and integration on this subject across traditional disciplinary divides. The paper suggests that Sen's development of a 'scholarly bridge' between human rights and economics is an important and innovative contribution that has methodological as well as substantive importance and that provides a prototype and stimuli for future research. It also establishes that the idea of fundamental freedoms and human rights is itself an important gateway into understanding the nature, scope and significance of Sen's research. The paper concludes with a brief assessment of the challenges to be addressed in taking Sen's contributions in the field of human rights forward.Amartya Sen, human rights, poverty, freedom, obligation, capability approach, meta-rights, entitlements, opportunity freedom, liberty-rights
Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen, and the 1905-1907 debate on socialism
No full textPurpose – To review one of the earliest Chinese debates on socialism, highlighting the consequent changes in outlook by Sun Yat-sen and Liang Qichao; and to demonstrate the influence of Western economic writers especially Richard T. Ely, Henry George, and German Bismarckian socialists. Design/methodology/approach – Textual analysis of original Chinese-language materials with extensive direct quotations (in translation). Findings – Sun initially gave primary attention to land policy, using a (somewhat inconsistent) combination of George's “single tax” and a very different idea of land nationalization. As a result of the debate, however, Sun gave more attention to economic growth, capital formation, and import restriction. Liang initially favored Bismarckian socialism, but moved during the debate to increasing skepticism about a major economic role for government, recognizing the need for entrepreneurship and capital formation. Originality/value – Existing literature fails to perceive the radical shifts in viewpoint which developed for both Sun and Liang. This is particularly important for Sun, whose later ideas had a major influence on Chinese economic policy after 1927.China, Modern history, Socialism

OVERCOMING POSITIVISM IN ECONOMICS: AMARTYA SEN'S PROJECT OF INFUSING ETHICS INTO ECONOMICS
No full textLogical Positivism, which arose in philosophy early in the twentieth century, proclaimed the sharp distinction between facts and values. Despite objections at the time, positivism was imported into economics in the 1930s. Over time, objections lessened; economics was transformed and ethical considerations were driven out of its core. In the 1950s, debates about positivism arose within the discipline which had exported it. According to the American philosopher Hilary Putnam, the fact/value distinction is now discredited in philosophy. If that is so, the methodological foundations of contemporary economics are also discredited. In this article I examine Amartya Sen’s moral science of economics. First, I will present his historical account of the connections between economics and ethics. Sen claims that there was a close connection between the two until positivism was imported. Second, I will sketch some of Sen’s ethical objections to modern economics, which is still suffering from positivism. Finally, I will lay out some of his ideas on how economics can be returned to an ethical path. Once the ground has been cleared of positivism, ethics can re-emerge in economics in various ways. One path has been marked out by Sen.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

Evidential Research on "Gao Zong liang yin" 高宗諒陰
No full text>子張問「高宗諒陰」章, 係先秦儒家經說影響中國古代喪服制度極爲關鍵之一章。顧 「諒陰」原義爲何?春秋時已失其解 ; 而>所言「高宗諒陰, 三年不言」史事, 因年遠事湮, 孔門當日已不得其詳, 孔子誤以「諒陰」爲居喪之名, 竝據此推證殷代已行「三年之喪｣, 然此與>文義實不相合。本文之用意有三, 一則擬就現存先秦語料, 鉤稽「諒」字湮薶之古義, 考證>「高宗諒陰」之原意 ; 再則藉由西漢新君繼位史事, 推證殷高宗「諒陰不言」之歷史眞相, 以見口傳歷史時代, 史事傳営譌變之樣態 ; 其三則由秦漢學者引例, 分析「高宗諒陰」與「三年之喪」衍生之關係, 竝尋溯儒家「三年之喪」說形成之痕跡。This article reviews the historical evidence and literary significance of "Gao Zong liang yin" (高宗諒陰), an anecdote centering Gao Zong of the Shang dynasty. The construal of this anecdote has confused many scholars of the Spring and Autumn era, including Confucius. At Lunyu 14 : 40, Zi Zhang asked Confucius, "Why did Gao Zong maintain silence for three years, as written in Shangshu?" In Confucius' opinion, this is a ritual performed to mourn Gao Zong's deceased father. His opinion has served to consolidate the tradition of a 3-year mourning period upon the death of a king or an emperor in China. To retrieve the original context of Shangshu, the author examines ancient literary and historical sources, refers to similar situations in the Han dynasty, and makes analyses on similar terms used by Qin and Han scholars. As a conclusion, this article deduces that Confucius' response to Zi Zhang was in error. The anecdote of Gao Zong has nothing to do with mourning. Instead, it manifests a political decision --a means of self-protection by a new ruler

All people are portrayed standing in the West Gymnasium of Judd’s Gymnasia at Springfield College in December, 2000. This visit occurred after an agreement was signed in 1996 between Springfield College (SC) and Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) to provide training in sports medicine and conditioning and fitness, exchange of scholars and students from both schools.
Standing in the picture left to right we can recognize:
Hong Shi (Vice Dean, School of Education, SYSU), Zhaohang Liang (the first signer of the agreement between SC and SYSU), Wenliang Guo (Secretary School of Education, SYSU),

Adventure Tourism and its Future Potential in Ha Tinh, Vietnam
No full textDue to the lack of information about adventure tourism, the client of the thesis, Thanh Sen Travel was not consider adventure tourism as the product of the company. With the belief that Ha Tinh was a potential city to develop adventure tourism, the purpose of the thesis was to investigate the possibility and potential of the city. Therefore, the thesis would provide the company with more information about adventure tourism, identified potential locations and customer segments. The author wanted to persuade the company to add adventure tourism as a new feature to attract new customers coming to the region.
In addition to secondary sources, primary sources were collected via individual qualitative interview of 9 travelers to find a potential target tourist group. Thanh Sen Travel helped the author in discussing the potential adventure tourism activities as well as giving local data to help with the completion of the thesis
