A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet
No full textThe mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by members of the Gur family. Although belonging to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was particularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photographic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an overview of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through prophecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lineage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important members of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the transmissions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its representatives with other important Buddhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious traditions of south-western Tibet and the neighbouring Himalayan valleys
Mo-Doped Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> Nanosheet Arrays for Overall Water Splitting
No full textDesigning effective and low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts
for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution
reaction (OER) is essential to achieve green development of the hydrogen
economy. Herein, we have developed Mo-doped Ni3S2 nanosheet array catalysts with excellent electrochemical properties.
Only 85 mV (HER) and 230 mV (OER) overpotentials are required under
alkaline conditions at 10 mA cm–2 and remain undegraded
for 100 h. In addition, it only required 1.52 V at 10 mA cm–2 in an alkaline electrolyzer, and it remained unchanged for more
than 100 h in stability tests, outperforming most reported electrocatalysts.
Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed
that the doping of Mo could expose more active sites of Ni3S2 and optimize the adsorption free energy of the intermediate,
which in turn improves its intrinsic activity. This work reveals the
key role of Mo in Ni3S2 electrocatalytic performance

Mo-doping heterojunction: interfacial engineering in an efficient electrocatalyst for superior simulated seawater hydrogen evolution
No full textExploring economical, efficient, and stable electrocatalysts for the seawater hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly desirable but is challenging. In this study, a Mo cation doped Ni0.85Se/MoSe2 heterostructural electrocatalyst, Mox-Ni0.85Se/MoSe2, was successfully prepared by simultaneously doping Mo cations into the Ni0.85Se lattice (Mox-Ni0.85Se) and growing atomic MoSe2 nanosheets epitaxially at the edge of the Mox-Ni0.85Se. Such an Mox-Ni0.85Se/MoSe2 catalyst requires only 110 mV to drive current densities of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline simulated seawater, and shows almost no obvious degradation after 80 h at 20 mA cm−2. The experimental results, combined with the density functional theory calculations, reveal that the Mox-Ni0.85Se/MoSe2 heterostructure will generate an interfacial electric field to facilitate the electron transfer, thus reducing the water dissociation barrier. Significantly, the heteroatomic Mo-doping in the Ni0.85Se can regulate the local electronic configuration of the Mox-Ni0.85Se/MoSe2 heterostructure catalyst by altering the coordination environment and orbital hybridization, thereby weakening the bonding interaction between the Cl and Se/Mo. This synergistic effect for the Mox-Ni0.85Se/MoSe2 heterostructure will simultaneously enhance the catalytic activity and durability, without poisoning or corrosion of the chloride ions
Response to the School of the Dialogue of Cultures as a Dialogic Pedagogy
No full textDrawing on the inspiring examples of the School of the Dialogue of Cultures, this response suggests that there is great potential to explore pedagogy as a dialogic and relational space for mutual learning. Seen in terms of very young children, this response urges teachers to go beyond the limitations of age, language, and culture, and to consider the provocations of epistemological-ontological “rubs” that have potential to free contemporary educational activity from limiting boundaries and divides
CỔ MẪU THẦN LINH VÀ MA QUỶ TRONG MO MƯỜNG
No full textMo Muong is a folk literature genre that reflects binary logical thinking along with philosophical and human concepts about the typical universe of the Muong people in ancient times. In the ancient concept of Muong people, besides Muong People, there also exists Muong Ma and Muong Troi. For that reason, it will not be surprising to find in Mo Muong the archetypal system of Gods and Demons with full original and ancient properties. They are vividly recreated through the journey down to Muong Ma and up to Muong Troi. This study, from the perspective of archetypal theory and socio-historical method, focuses on analyzing motifs and situations related to the archetypal system of Gods and Demons. At the same time, through exploring the conflicts between typical characters of the archetype, the way the ancient Muong people think about the world and their indigenous beliefs are vividly recreated through Mo Muong.Mo Mường là thể loại văn học dân gian phản ánh tư duy logic nhị phân cùng với những ý niệm về triết học và nhân sinh về vũ trụ điển hình của người Mường thời xa xưa. Trong quan niệm cổ sơ của người Mường, bên cạnh Mường Người còn có sự tồn tại của Mường Ma và Mường Trời. Vì lẽ đó, sẽ không ngạc nhiên khi có thể tìm thấy trong Mo Mường hệ thống cổ mẫu Thần linh và Ma quỷ với đầy đủ những tính chất nguyên bản và cổ xưa. Chúng được tái hiện một cách sinh động thông qua hành trình xuống Mường Ma và lên Mường Trời. Nghiên cứu này, từ góc nhìn của lý thuyết cổ mẫu và phương pháp lịch sử-xã hội, tập trung phân tích các motif, trạng huống liên quan đến các cổ mẫu Thần linh và Ma Quỷ. Đồng thời, thông qua việc khám phá sự xung đột giữa các nhân vật điển hình của cổ mẫu, nghiên cứu sẽ cho thấy đặc trưng tư duy về thế giới và tín ngưỡng bản địa của người Mường cổ sơ được tái hiện một cách sinh động thông qua Mo Mường

Synthesis of Mo–Si–B in situ composites by mechanical alloying
No full textIn this study, the synthesis of Mo-Si-B multi-phase alloys, so-called in-situ composites, was attempted with the combination of mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) processes. MA was conducted with mixed powders of Mo, Si and B using a planetary ball mill under various milling conditions. MAed powders were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained by XRD indicated that Mo-Si-B alloyed powders were successfully produced when elemental powders were milled at a higher milling energy. Vacuum heat treatments after the MA process promoted the formation of Mo-Si-B intermetallic phase in MAed powders. On the other hand, the MAed powders were successfully consolidated by a SPS technique, and as a result, sound compacts of Mo5SiB2-based composites were synthesized
