The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
Full text linkThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role

No full text6. Dohrniphora intumescens Liu (Figs. 11–12) Dohrniphora intumescens Liu, 2001: 105. Male: Body length 1.5–2.2mm. Frons black, width 0.68mm, wider than lateral height (1.25: 1). First row of bristles straight, antials about 2 times as far apart as either is to an antero-lateral. Second row of bristles concave, all four bristles are equidistant. Postpedicels yellowish brown, slightly pointed. Palp orange yellow, swollen, length less than 2 times of its width, with 5 apical bristles and 15–20 hairs on ventral face. Thorax. Scutum brown, with sparse hairs. Scutellum brown, with 2 bristles and 2 hairs. Wing length 1.64–1.66mm. Costal index 0.49–0.51. Costal ratios 5.30–5.33: 1.12–1.14: 1. Costal cilia 0.03–0.04mm. Veins brown and membrane greyish brown. Halter yellow. Legs yellow. Fore tibia with 4 dorsal bristles. Dorsal hair palisade of mid tibia extends 1 / 2 (0.56) of tibia. Hind tibia without isolated bristles before apex. Posterior face of hind femur with 6–10 peg-like bristles, of which proximal 2–4 bristles relative strong and apical 4–6 bristles slender, above these with 2–3 hairs just below dorsal edge. Hind coxal lobes yellow, rounded. Abdomen. Tergites uniformly dark brown, with sparse hairs. Venter and cercus yellowish brown. Terminalia brown. Distribution. China (Hainan). Specimen examined. 1 ♂ (holotype), Hainan, Mt. Jianfeng (18 ° 43 ' N, 108 ° 48 'E), 4 -IV- 1992, Guang-Chun Liu and Min Wang; 2 ♂ (paratypes), same data as above, but collected in 5 ~ 8 -IV- 1992; 2 ♂, Hainan, Mt. Wuzhi (18 ° 53 'N, 109 ° 41 ' E), 17 -IV- 1992, Guang-Chun Liu and Min Wang; 1 ♂, Hainan, Diaoluo (18 ° 39 ' N, 109 ° 54 ' E), 12 -IV- 1992, Guang-Chun Liu and Min Wang. Remarks. The character of hairs on dorsal face of hind femur was ignored in the original description of the species (Liu 2001). The species is closely related to D. modesta Disney. It is distinguished from latter by the longer palisade of mid tibia and long and slender peg-like bristles.Published as part of Liu, Guang-Chun, 2015, Revision of the genus Dohrniphora Dahl (Diptera: Phoridae) from China, pp. 307-331 in Zootaxa 3986 (3) on pages 312-313, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3986.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/23461
