Distribution. Eastern China: Zhejiang, Fujian; central China: Hunan (new provincial record). Comments. The large body size (BL 4.14–4.56 mm) of this species makes it easy to separate S. jaloszynskii from all other congeners of the nominotypical subgenus.Published as part of Yin, Zi-Wei & Li, Li-Zhen, 2015, Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Syndicus Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) in China, pp. 415-423 in Zootaxa 3918 (3) on page 420, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3918.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/24121
The concept of Yin and Yang in Bright Sheng’s “My Other Song”
No full textThis paper explores the ancient Chinese concepts involved in Bright Sheng's solo piano work “My Other Song,” as well as the compositional developments between “My Other Song” and “My Song” composed 17 years apart, drawing on the composer's answer, “I feel 100% Chinese and 100% American,” he gave in an interview in the Wall Street Journal. The Chinese culture of I Ching is over a thousand years long, and its derivative theory of yin and yang has been used by contemporary Chinese composers to innovate approach to contemporary composition. This paper provided an in-depth analysis of Sheng’s work in terms of pitch structure, tonality, dynamics, motifs, and musical gestures from the perspective of ancient Chinese and Confucian thought, the main concepts of I Ching, Yin and Yang theory. The paper concludes by considering the process and methods of integrating philosophical ideas into musical compositions, as well as the effects in modern music
Hong Kong cinema 1982-2002 : the quest for identity during transition
No full textElectronic redacted version excludes material for which permission has not been granted by the rights holderThis thesis seeks to interpret the cinematic representations of Hong Kongers’ identity quest during a transitional state/stage related to the sovereignty transfer. The Handover transition considered is an ideological one, rather than the overnight polity change on the Handover day. This research approaches contemporary Hong Kong cinema on two fronts and the thesis is structured accordingly: Upon an initial review of the existing Hong Kong film scholarship in the Introduction, and its 1997-related allegorical readings, Part I sees new angles (previously undeveloped or underdeveloped) for researching Hong Kong films made during 1982-2002. Arguments are built along the ideas of Hong Kongers’ situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’ because Hong Kong has lacked a cultural/national centrality. This part of research is informed by the ideas of Jacques Derrida, Homi Bhabha and Stuart Hall, and the diasporic experiences of Ien Ang, Rey Chow and Ackbar Abbas. With these new research angles and references to the circumstances, Part II reads critically the text of eight Hong Kong films made during the Handover transition. In chronological order, they are Boat People (Hui, 1982), Song of the Exile (Hui, 1990), Days of Being Wild (Wong, 1990), Happy Together (Wong, 1997), Made in Hong Kong (Chan, 1997), Ordinary Heroes (Hui, 1999), Durian Durian (Chan, 2000), and Hollywood Hong Kong (Chan, 2002). They meet several criteria related to the undeveloped / underdeveloped areas in the existing Hong Kong film scholarship. Hamid Naficy’s ‘accented cinema’ paradigm gives the guidelines to the film analysis in Part II. This part shows that Hong Kongers’ self-transformation during transition is alterable, indeterminate, and interminable, due to the people’s situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’. This thesis thus contributes to Hong Kong cinema scholarship in interpreting films with new research angles, and generating new insights into this cinematic tradition and its wider context

Scalable cover song identification based on melody indexing
No full textIn this work, we describe an efficient method for cover song identification focusing our target on pop and rock music genres. The procedure proposed is based on the fact that every pop/rock song has usually a main melody or a easily recognizing theme inside. Usually this theme or this melody, even if the cover song is really different from the original, is present in every version of the original song. This means that if we can identify the melody in each song we can identify also the original son

Growing out of Poverty: Trends and Patterns of Urban Poverty in China 1988–2002
No full textThis paper estimates trends in absolute poverty in urban China from 1988 to 2002 using the Chinese Household Income Project (CHIP) surveys. Poverty incidence curves are plotted, showing that poverty has fallen markedly during the period regardless of the exact location of the poverty line. Income inequality rose from 1988 to 1995 but has been fairly constant thereafter. Models of the determination of income and poverty reveal widening differentials by education, sex and party membership. Income from government anti-poverty programs has little impact on poverty, which has fallen almost entirely due to overall economic growth rather than redistribution.poverty, inequality, economic growth, welfare, public policy, China
