Coevolutionary Pragmatism

Approaches and Impacts of China-Africa Economic Cooperation

By: Xiaoyang Tang

China-Africa economic tie has experienced lasting rapid growth since the 2000s, attracting lots of discussion on its nature and effects. A key question is whether Chinese engagements provide an alternative paradigm to existing mainstream models, like Washington Consensus, for developing countries. However, theories on state-market dichotomy can hardly explain the strong momentum of bilateral cooperation. By examining a broad range of practices with solid field research, including trade, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, industrial zones, labor and socio-environmental preservation, this book proposes a new angle of non-linear circular causality to understand Chinese approaches to work with Africa. Guided by the pursuit for sustainable growth rather than by specific models, Chinese actors are able to experiment diverse methods to foster structural transformation in Africa. In particular, the author carefully records mutual influences between Chinese and African stakeholders at all levels, from grassroots to policy making, to illustrate the effects of coevolving industrialization.

Studies of Pluripotency in Embryonic Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

By: Xiaoyang Zhao

Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all types of cells within the body, thus have great therapeutic potential for regenerative medicine to treat complicated disorders, like Parkinson’s disease and spinal cord injury. There will also be many applications in drug development. However, several roadblocks, such as safety issues and low efficiency of pluripotent stem cell (PSC) line derivation need to be resolved before their clinical application. This thesis focuses on these two areas, so as to find methods to overcome the limitation. It covers deriving embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from several different species and reports an efficient system to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and the first iPSC mice in the world. The results in this thesis confirm that somatic cells can be fully reprogrammed with the four Yamanaka factors. In addition, we have found that the Dlk1-Dio3 region can be a potential molecular marker to distinguish the fully reprogrammed iPSCs from partially reprogrammed ones. All of these results will help improve the safety of PSCs in the clinical applications and increase the current low induction efficiency of their production.

Topography of Politics in Rural China

The Story of Xiaocun

By: Xiaoyang Zhu

Contemporary Chinese rural life is placed in sharp theoretical and practical focus in this book. State-of-the-art techniques and perspectives are combined to take the reader into Xiaocun, a small village on the east bank of the Dianchi Lake in Kunming City. In 2003, the author published the book Crime and Punishment: The Story of Xiaocun (1931–1997), which dealt with disputes, mediation and punishment in the village following the legal anthropology tradition. At that time, neither the villagers nor the author foresaw the vast changes that were to appear a few years later. Their main economic activity then was growing vegetables and flowers; urbanisation was tsunami-like in its speed and impact. Land requisition for urban development was so swift that five years later, in 2008, there was no farmland left. Instead, there were many landmark real estate and development projects. Xiaocun has become the centre of an enlarged Kunming City. Observers, including the Xiaocun residents, are unavoidably shocked at the changes to the physical landscape in the wake of its rapid urbanisation. This book, Topography of Politics in Rural China: The Story of Xiaocun, reports the author's revisits to the village starting in early 2007. In the past few years of research on this village, the author deeply felt that the problems that make people passionate are fully exposed through issues surrounding land and housing. Well written in narrative, this book tells the story of Xiaocun in this new century from the perspective of topography, exploring the peasantry and its relations to the state in more fundamental terms.

Students’ Motivations and Emotions in Chinese Science Classrooms

By: Xiaoyang Gong

The book reviews and examines students’ motivations and emotions in Chinese science classrooms. By adopting different approaches such as content analysis, factor analysis, path analysis, and latent profile analysis, the author analyzes the content of literature, curriculum standards and textbooks, classroom observations, survey data, interview data, and open-ended responses from students and teachers through a literature review and six empirical studies. The findings may provide insights for education researchers and practitioners seeking to improve science teachers’ pedagogical practices and create friendlier classroom environments. Researchers of science education or those who are interested in investigating students’ affective perceptions in specific subject contexts will find this book interesting.

Intrusion Detection in Distributed Systems

An Abstraction-Based Approach

By: Peng Ning,Sushil Jajodia,Xiaoyang Sean Wang

Intrusion Detection In Distributed Systems: An Abstraction-Based Approach presents research contributions in three areas with respect to intrusion detection in distributed systems. The first contribution is an abstraction-based approach to addressing heterogeneity and autonomy of distributed environments. The second contribution is a formal framework for modeling requests among cooperative IDSs and its application to Common Intrusion Detection Framework (CIDF). The third contribution is a novel approach to coordinating different IDSs for distributed event correlation.

Fuzzy-Like Multiple Objective Decision Making

By: Jiuping Xu,Xiaoyang Zhou

Decision makers usually face multiple, conflicting objectives and the complicated fuzzy-like environments in the real world. What are the fuzzy-like environments? How do we model the multiple objective decision making problems under fuzzy-like environments? How do you deal with these models? In order to answer these questions, this book provides an up-to-date methodology system for fuzzy-like multiple objective decision making, which includes modelling system, model analysis system, algorithm system and application system in structure optimization problem, selection problem, purchasing problem, inventory problem, logistics problem and so on. Researchers, practitioners and students in management science, operations research, information science, system science and engineering science will find this work a useful reference.
