Investigating the Medical Study of Overseas Students at Jinan University Medical School

R. China. Received: July 22, 2017 Accepted: August 17, 2017 Online Published: August 21, 2017 doi:10.5430/ijhe.v6n4p240 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/ijhe.v6n4p240 Abstract A great number of overseas students have studied medicine at Jinan University Medical School over the past decade. Statistics from the past ten years show that these students’ test scores on diagnosis and medicine I & II are lower than those of their classmates from mainland China. To address the underlying causes of this phenomenon, we implemented a series of questionnaires for overseas and mainland Chinese medical students. The results indicate that there are no significant differences between overseas students and mainland Chinese students with regard to their attitude towards the study of medicine, their approval of the teaching and learning environments or their ability to improve their independent study capabilities at Jinan University Medical School; however, overseas students prefer to study at night and sleep later than their mainland Chinese classmates. One outstanding difference between these groups is that overseas students like to arrange their studies based on their interests, regardless of available time and subject contents, and this might lead them to perform poorly on examinations during their academic term at Jinan University Medical School. -
Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks. -
The Pitch Levels of Female Speech in Two Chinese Villages
Deutsch et al.: JASA Express Letters ͓DOI: 10.1121/1.3113892͔ Published Online 14 April 2009 The pitch levels of female speech in two Chinese villages Diana Deutscha) Department of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093 [email protected] Jinghong Le School of Psychology and Cognitive Science, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China [email protected] Jing Shen and Trevor Henthorn Department of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093 [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The pitch levels of female speech in two villages situated in a relatively remote area of China were compared. The dialects spoken in the two villages are similar to Standard Mandarin, and all subjects had learned to read and speak Standard Mandarin at school. Subjects read out a passage of roughly 3.25 min in Standard Mandarin, and pitch values were obtained at 5-ms intervals. The overall pitch levels in the two villages differed signifi- cantly, supporting the conjecture that pitch levels of speech are influenced by a mental representation acquired through long-term exposure to the speech of others. © 2009 Acoustical Society of America PACS numbers: 43.71.Bp, 43.71.Es, 43.71.An [JH] Date Received: January 24, 2009 Date Accepted: March 12, 2009 1. Introduction While a substantial literature exists concerning the features of particular languages and dialects, overall pitch level as a feature has so far received little attention. This is due in part to the assumption frequently made that the pitch level of speech is physiologically determined and that it serves as a reflection of body size (Kunzel, 1989; Van Dommelen and Moxness, 1995). -

Out of the many facets of the wholesale metamorphosis of Chinese society that characterized this era, I focus on the development of an increasingly bureaucratic and autocratic state, the emergence of a semi-autonomous local elite, and the impact on both trends of the rise of the great steppe empires that encircled and, under the Mongols ultimately extinguished the Song. The rapid evolution of Inner Asian state formation in the tenth through the thirteenth centuries not only swayed the development of the Chinese state, by putting questions of war and peace at the forefront of the court’s attention; it also influenced the evolution of China’s socio-political elite, by shap- ing the context within which elite families forged their sense of coorporate identity and calibrated their commitment to the court. -
Law, Literature, and Gender in Tang China: an Exploration of Bai Juyi's

INTRODUCTION Since the birth of the law and literature field in the 1970s,1 scho- lars working in the West have primarily focused their attention on analysis of legal issues in American and European literary master- pieces. More recently, academics have begun to explore the inter- sections between law and literature in the literary traditions of late imperial and modern China.2 However, very little scholarly atten- * J.D. candidate and Global Law Scholar (class of 2012), Georgetown University Law Cen- ter.

I would like to thank Professor Wai-yee Li for her extremely helpful comments and suggestions about my translations of Bai Juyi‘s panwen and on this paper in general, as well as her encouragement for pursuing research on this topic. Many thanks also to Professor Xiaofei Tian for first introducing me to panwen as a literary genre. 1 Most scholars credit James Boyd White, currently L. Hart Wright Collegiate Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, and his seminal book: THE LEGAL IMAGINATION: STUDIES IN THE NATURE OF LEGAL THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION (Boston: Little, Brown, 1973), with creating the field.
