Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
The Intergenerational Overlap and Human Capital Formation
Full text linkWe propose a new microeconomic explanation for the divergent experiences of economies in forming human capital. We suggest that the positive effect of a longer life expectancy on human capital formation arises from two separate effects: a life-expectancy effect and a prolonged intergenerational overlap effect. We argue that the duration of the overlap between generations and the associated parental support can affect the marginal cost of human capital formation and hence its level: parental support is cheaper than market financing. We thus attribute the strong correlation between the formation of human capital and life expectancy not merely to a higher marginal benefit arising from a longer payback period but also to a lower marginal cost arising from a prolonged intergenerational overlap. We provide conditions under which a longer overlap results in a higher level of per-capita output.Parental support, Human capital formation, Social welfare
Pseudopestalotiopsis indocalami Qi Yang & Yong Wang
No full textPseudopestalotiopsis indocalami Qi Yang & Yong Wang bis, sp. nov. (Fig. 3) MycoBank: MB 842469 Index Fungorum: IF 559462. Etymology. indocalami, refers to the host plant (Indocalamus tessellatus) from which the fungus was isolated. Type. China, Hainan Province, Wanning City, from leaves of Indocalamus tessellatus, 14 November 2020, YK He, HGUP 1072, holotype, ex-type living culture GUCC 21600. Disease symptom: Associated with leaf spots of Indocalamus tessellatus. Leaf spots 12–68 mm diam., irregular to subcircular, brown, slightly sunken, scattered. Small auburn spots appeared initially and then gradually enlarge, changing to reddish-brown circular ring spots with a dark mahogany border and jagged edge. Description: Asexual morph: Colonies on PDA reaching 6–7 cm in diam. after 7 d at room temperature (28 ˚C), under 12 hours of light-dark alternation. Mycelium light pink to light yellow, colonies filamentous to circular, slightly undulate at edge, whitish, with clustered black fruiting bodies, obviously filiform and fluffy margin, light pink from above and light yellow from reverse. Conidiomata pycnidial, 200–400 μm diam., globose, solitary, black, semiimmersed on PDA, exuding brown to dark brown mass of conidia. Conidiophores often reduced to conidiogenous cell, regularly septate and branched at the base. Conidiogenous cells mostly integrated, ampulliform, cylindrical, or clavate, hyaline, smooth-walled. Conidia fusiform to clavate, straight to slightly curved, 4-septate, 24–31 × 4.5–6.5 (x = 27.5 × 5.4 µm), basal cell cylindrical to obconic, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, 2.5–5.5 µm (x = 3.9 µm) long, three median cells 14–18.5 µm (x = 16.2 µm) long, concolourous, dark brown with darker septa, second cell from base 4–7 µm (x = 5.6 µm) long, third cell 3–6 µm (x = 4.4 µm) long, fourth cell 4–6.5 µm (x = 5.3 µm) long, apical cell 3.5–6.5 µm (x = 4.8 µm) long, cylindrical to sub-cylindrical, hyaline, with 2–4 (mostly 3) tubular apical appendages, arising from the apex of the apical cell each at different points, 14–28 µm (x = 19.7 µm) long, basal appendage usually present, single, tubular, unbranched, 4–6.5 µm (x = 5.1 µm) long. Sexual morph: undetermined. Notes: Pseudopestalotiopsis indocalami (GUCC 21600) formed an independent branch in the phylogeny (Fig. 1) and was related to P. curvatispora (MFLUCC 17-1722 T, MFLUCC 17-1723, MFLUCC 17-1747). Comparing the three gene regions of GUCC 21600 and P. curvatispora there was only one basepair difference in the ITS region, but five in tub2 and 15 in the tef1 region (TABLE 2). Pseudopestalotiopsis curvatispora has smaller conidia than P. indocalami ((18.5–)22–25(–26.5) × (6–)6.5–7 µm), only 1–2 apical appendages and a longer basal appendage ((5.5–)9–12(–13.5) µm) (Norphanphoun et al. 2019). Thus, P. indocalami is considered to be a novel taxon.Published as part of Yang, Qi, He, Yu-Ke, Yuan, Jun & Wang, Yong, 2022, Two new Pseudopestalotiopsis species isolated from Celtis sinensis and Indocalamus tessellatus plants in southern China, pp. 274-282 in Phytotaxa 543 (5) on pages 279-280, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.543.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/647941
Pseudopestalotiopsis celtidis Qi Yang & Yong Wang
No full textPseudopestalotiopsis celtidis Qi Yang & Yong Wang bis, sp. nov. (Fig. 2) MycoBank: MB 842468 Index Fungorum: IF 559463 Etymology. celtidis refers to the host plant (Celtis sinensis) from which the fungus was isolated. Type. China, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, from leaves of Celtis sinensis, 20 June 2018, J. Yuan, HGUP 538, holotype, ex-type living culture GUCC 21599. Disease symptom: Pathogenic, causing spots on leaves of Celtis sinensis. Leaf spots irregular to circular in shape, brown, 7–12 mm diam., slightly sunken, scattered. Small auburn spots appear initially and then gradually enlarge, changing to off-white circular ring spots with a dark mahogany border and jagged edge. Description: Asexual morph: Colonies on PDA reaching 7–8.5 cm diam. after 7 d at room temperature (28 ˚C), under 12 hours of light-dark alternation. Mycelium light pink to off-white, filamentous, circular, slightly undulate at edge, whitish, with black clustered fruiting bodies, filiform and fluffy margin, white from above and light yellow from reverse. Conidiomata pycnidial, 100–600 µm in diam., globose, solitary, black, semi-immersed on PDA, exuding brown to dark brown mass of conidia. Conidiophores branched or unbranched, hyaline or light brown, thin-walled. Conidiogenous cells discrete, ampuliform to lageniform, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth. Conidia fusiform to clavate, straight to slightly curved, 4-septate, 21.5–29.5 × 6.5–9 (x = 25.4 × 7.4 µm), basal cell cylindrical to obconic, hyaline or sometimes pale brown, thin-walled, smooth, 2.5–5.5 µm (x = 3.7 µm), the three median cells 14–20 µm (x = 17.6 µm), concolourous, dark brown with darker septa, second cell from base 5–8 µm (x = 6.4 µm), third cell 3.5–6.5 µm (x = 4.9 µm), fourth cell 4.5–7 µm (x = 5.8 µm), apical cell 2–4.5 µm (x = 3.3 µm), cylindrical to sub-cylindrical, hyaline, with 1–3 (mostly 2) tubular apical appendages, arising from the apex of the apical cell each at different points, flexuous, 8–18 µm (x = 12.4 µm) long, basal appendage often present, single, tubular, unbranched (or rarely branched), short, 1.5–4 µm (x = 2.8 µm) long. Sexual morph: undetermined. Notes: The phylogenetic tree supported GUCC 21599 as sister to P. annellata (NTUCC 17-030 T) with high support (Fig. 1). Comparing the two strains there were 11 base pai differences in ITS, one character difference in tub2, and eight characters differences in tef1 (TABLE 2). In morphology, Pseudopestalotiopsis celtidis was morphologically similar to P. annellata. However, P. annellata can be distinguished by the different number of apical appendages (2–3), longer apical appendages ((18–)22–32(–35) µm) and longer basal appendages ((4–)5–7(–8) µm) (Tsai et al. 2021). Thus, P. celtidis is introduced as a new species.Published as part of Yang, Qi, He, Yu-Ke, Yuan, Jun & Wang, Yong, 2022, Two new Pseudopestalotiopsis species isolated from Celtis sinensis and Indocalamus tessellatus plants in southern China, pp. 274-282 in Phytotaxa 543 (5) on page 278, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.543.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/647941

Inducing Human Capital Formation: Migration as a Substitute for Subsidies
Full text linkWhen productivity is fostered by an individual's own human capital as well as by the economy-wide average level of human capital, individuals under-invest in human capital. The provision of subsidies for the formation of human capital, conditional on the subsidy being self-financed by tax revenues, can bring the economy to its socially optimal level of human capital. Yet a strictly positive probability of migration to a richer country, by raising both the level of human capital formed by optimizing individuals in the home country and the average level of human capital of non-migrants in the country, can enhance welfare and nudge the economy toward the social optimum. Indeed, under a well-controlled, restrictive migration policy the welfare of all workers is higher than in the absence of this policy.Migration, Human capital formation, Externalities, Social welfare
