Can Feelings Exist Differently Through Full Experience? Geiger and Husserl on Feeling and Intentionality
This paper examines the divergent views of Moritz Geiger and Edmund Husserl on emotional experience and its relationship to intentionality. While both philosophers emphasize affective intentionality, Geiger posits that emotional experience can exist independently of external objects, highlighting the internal, self-sufficient nature of feeling. Husserl, in contrast, defends the idea that feelings remain directed towards something, even when this …
Distribution and transmission of M. tuberculosis in a high-HIV prevalence city in Malawi: A genomic and spatial analysis
Delays in identifying and treating individuals with infectious tuberculosis (TB) contribute to poor health outcomes and allow ongoing community transmission of M. tuberculosis ( Mtb ). Current recommendations for screening for tuberculosis specify community characteristics (e.g., areas with high local tuberculosis prevalence) that can be used to target screening within the general population. However, areas of higher tuberculosis burden are not n…

Long‐Term Biochar Application Improved Aggregate K Availability by Affecting Soil Organic Carbon Content and Composition
Straw biochar is an effective amendment at improving soil aggregate structure and increasing soil carbon and potassium (K) content. However, little information is available on the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) and aggregate‐associated K distribution under long‐term biochar application conditions. To address this, a field trial established in 2013 was used to examine the impact of biochar (B 0 : 0 and B 1 : 2.625 t ha −1 year −1 )…
Impact of disease- and race-based discrimination in health care on pain outcomes among adults living with sickle cell disease in the United States: The mediating roles of internalized stigma and depre…
Studies have shown that disease- and race-based discrimination in healthcare exacerbate pain, yet little is known about the role of psychological processes and symptoms, such as internalized stigma and depressive symptoms, in the relationship between discrimination (i.e., enacted stigma) and pain. In a sample of 284 Black adults living with sickle cell disease (SCD) (54% women, M age = 35.37), we examined internalized stigma and depressive sympto…
Biochar affects the distribution of phosphorus in the soil profile by changing the capacity of soil to adsorb phosphorus and its distribution within soil macroaggregates
A large number of studies suggested that biochar can affect the adsorption of phosphorus (P) in soil and the distribution of P in soil aggregates, but it is still unclear whether biochar can indirectly affect the distribution of P in soil profiles through the influence of these two factors. Therefore, the ability of maize straw biochar to mitigate the risk of loss of P and improve the distribution of P in soil profile was evaluated by studying th…
A web-based analytical framework for the detection and visualization space-time clusters of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact worldwide and continues to spread due to various mutations of the virus. Many governmental and nonprofit agencies at different levels have quickly developed COVID-19 dashboards to disseminate information on the pandemic to the public. However, most of these systems have mainly distributed "plain" information (e.g. cases, death counts, vaccination), and rarely provided insights that can be gained fro…
The Positive Motivation of Shame: Moral Emotion in the Mencius
For Mencius, shame is the human way of existing in a virtuous disposition and concretely manifests not only as the self-affirming of the passion of shame in the action of stopping something bad from happening, but also as a way of handling affairs and processing things. This paper explains how shame functions as moral motivation by analyzing the affective mindset of shame and aversion (xiu e zhi xin 羞恶之心) and its relation to honoring decorum (yi …

The linguistic approaches to the analysis of the modern lexicon in English are discussed in detail, emphasising vocabulary and language learning, dictionaries and lexicography, and the literary and stylistic study of vocabulary. The perspective of thi…
A Data-Driven Customer-Search Modeling With the Consideration of Traffic Environment
In order to explore the determinants of vacant taxi drivers' customer-search behavior, this paper intends to calibrate a time-dependent Multinomial Logit (MNL) model by mining over 1.6 billion GPS records from about 8,400 taxis in Shanghai, China. First, based on the ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) algorithm, the downtown area of Shanghai city is divided into 47 hotspots to identify the hot areas of customer delivery…
Changes in Development Direction and Mode of Urban Agglomerations in the Pandemic Era: A Chinese Approach
During each pandemic in human history, cities have become the centers of the disasters that have unfolded. The main reason is that cities develop unevenly. Some favorable factors promoting city development are also important factors that facilitate the spread of viruses; the urbanization development path that tends toward polarized development greatly increases the risk of central cities becoming epicenters of disaster. This article will take the…

Long-Term Exposure to Benzo[a]Pyrene Affects Sexual Differentiation and Embryos Toxicity in Three Generations of Marine Medaka (Oryzias Melastigma)
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a common environmental disrupting chemical that can cause endocrine disorders in organisms. However, the continued interference effects of BaP on multi-generation fish needs further research. In this study, we performed different periods (G1F1-3, G2F2-3, G3F3) of BaP exposure on marine medaka. We determined the embryo toxicity, and analyzed relative reproductive genes (ERα, cyp19a and vtg1) to predict the sexual differenti…
Levels of NP and BPA in the Pearl River Estuary, China: Fluctuations with Country Policy Changes over the Past 40 Years
Sediment cores were collected from four outlets in the Pearl River Estuary (Guangdong Province, China) and dated using the 210 Pb method to investigate the pollution history of the area due to its relatively stable sedimentation status and hydrographic conditions in recent decades. The ages of the sediment cores were dated over 40 years (1968-2015). The concentrations at the four outlets ranged from 2.21 to 48.52 ng g -1 dw for nonylphenol and we…

China is a country with high tuberculosis (TB) incidence but relatively low HIV prevalence. However, due to difficulties in diagnosis and reporting, true burden of HIV-associated TB in children is unknown. The objective of this study was to describe the incidence of pulmonary TB (PTB) after antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to study risk factors. A retrospective study was performed based on routinely collected data from China national pediatric fr…
Chomskian deep structure and translation
This article examines attempts by certain Chinese scholars’ to apply transformational grammar to the explanation of translation practice. Specific attention is given to the use of ‘deep structure’ in such attempts. It is argued that, although most of these scholars claimed that they were applying Chomsky's transformational grammar to translation studies, none of them used the notion ‘deep structure’ in the Chomskian sense. It is further pointed o…
