Paradoxical Integration: Globalised Knowledge Flows and Chinese Concepts in Social Theory Xiaoying Qi A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Cultural Research University of Western Sydney 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the support I have received from a number of people during the research and writing of this PhD thesis. I am grateful to my principal supervisor, Associate Professor Greg Noble, for his support for my application for funds to attend and present a paper at the International Sociological Association XVII World Congress of Sociology in 2010 and for his close reading and detailed comments on the draft and revised chapters, which led to many improvements. My associate supervisor, Professor Peter Hutchings, is thanked for his comments on draft chapters. My gratitude also goes to the three anonymous reviewers of a paper, „Face: A Chinese Concept in a Global Sociology‟, which was published in the Journal of Sociology in 2011. This paper prefigures the arguments of chapter 5.

Therefore, it has become imperative to search for Li from other sources. Li in coal is thought to be one of the candidates. In this study, the petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of No. 21 coal from the Hebi No. 6 mine, Anhe Coalfield, China, was reported, with an emphasis on the distribution, modes of occurrence, and origin of Li. The results show that Li is enriched in the No. 21 coal, and its concentration coefficient (CC) value is 6.6 on average in comparison with common world coals. -

BIS Working Papers No 925 What 31 Provinces Reveal About Growth in China by Eeva Kerola and Benoît Mojon
BIS Working Papers No 925 What 31 provinces reveal about growth in China by Eeva Kerola and Benoît Mojon Monetary and Economic Department January 2021 JEL classification: C38, E01, E3, P2. Keywords: China, GDP, provincial data, business cycles, principal component. BIS Working Papers are written by members of the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements, and from time to time by other economists, and are published by the Bank. The papers are on subjects of topical interest and are technical in character. The views expressed in them are those of their authors and not necessarily the views of the BIS.

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) What 31 provinces reveal about growth in China Eeva Kerola* Benoît Mojon** Abstract It is important to understand the growth process under way in China. However, analyses of Chinese growth became increasingly more difficult after the real GDP doubling target was announced in 2012 and the official real GDP statistics lost their fluctuations. With a dataset covering 31 Chinese provinces from two decades, we have substantially more variation to work with. We find robust evidence that the richness of the provincial data provides information relevant to understand and project Chinese aggregates. Using this provincial data, we build an alternative indicator for Chinese growth that is able to reveal fluctuations not present in the official statistical series. Additionally, we concentrate on the determinants of Chinese growth and show how the drivers have gone through a substantial change over time both across economic variables and provinces. -

HARTLEY R. E. HOLDSWORTH A. C. MORTON N. S. ROBINS M. S. STOKER J. P. TURNER Special Publication reviewing procedures The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production quality of its books matches that of its journals. Since 1997, all book proposals have been refereed by specialist reviewers as well as by the Society's Books Editorial Committee. If the referees identify weaknesses in the proposal, these must be addressed before the proposal is accepted. Once the book is accepted, the Society has a team of Book Editors (listed above) who ensure that the volume editors follow strict guidelines on refereeing and quality control. We insist that individual papers can only be accepted after satis- factory review by two independent referees. The questions on the review forms are similar to those for Journal of the Geological Society. The referees' forms and comments must be available to the Society's Book Editors on request. Although many of the books result from meetings, the editors are expected to commission papers that were not pre- sented at the meeting to ensure that the book provides a balanced coverage of the subject. Being accepted for presentation at the meeting does not guarantee inclusion in the book. Geological Society Special Publications are included in the ISI Science Citation Index, but they do not have an impact factor, the latter being applicable only to journals. -

The Chadobets lamprophyres are related to the REE-bearing Chuktukon carbonatites. On the basis of their morphology, mineralogy and relation with the surrounding groundmass, we distinguish three types of ocelli: carbonate-silicate, containing carbonate, scapolite, sodalite, potassium feldspar, albite, apatite and minor quartz ocelli (K-Na-CSO); carbonate–silicate ocelli, containing natrolite and sodalite (Na-CSO); and silicate-carbonate, con- taining potassium feldspar and phlogopite (K-SCO). The K-Na-CSO present in the most evolved Citation: Nosova, A.A.; Sazonova, damtjernite with irregular and polygonal patches was distributed within the groundmass; the patches L.V.; Kargin, A.V.; Dubinina, E.O.; consist of minerals identical to minerals in ocelli.

Ree‐ Minerals in Carbonatite, Alkaline and Hydrothermal Rocks, Northern and Central Finland
ERES2014: 1st European Rare Earth Resources Conference|Milos|04‐07/09/2014 REE‐ MINERALS IN CARBONATITE, ALKALINE AND HYDROTHERMAL ROCKS, NORTHERN AND CENTRAL FINLAND Thair AL‐ANI1* and Olli SARAPAA2 1 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 96, FI‐02151 Espoo, Finland 2 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 77, FI‐96101 Rovaniemi, Finland Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract REE‐rich minerals were identified and analyzed by electron microprobe from different targets located in the northern and central Finland. Both primary and hydrothermal minerals were found namely: phosphates (monazite‐Ce), fluor‐carbonates (bastnaesite‐Ce), hydrated carbonates (ancylite‐Ce), hydrated aluminium silicates, (allanite), oxides (fergusonite) and U‐Pb rich minerals. Sokli Jammi‐ Kaulus carbonatite veins are enriched in LREE, P, F, Sr and Ba hosting in ancylite, bastnaesite, apatite and monazite. Allanite‐(Ce) and fergusonite (Y) are abundant in alkaline gneiss of the Katajakangas REE‐occurrence. The Korsnäs Pb‐REE deposit includes apatite with monazite inclusions, calcio‐ancylite and bastnasite. The Mäkärä‐ Vaulo REE‐prospect in arkosic gneisses is dominated by monazite, allanite and xenotime. Albitites at Enontekiö contain bastnaesite, monazite, allanite, xenotime and U‐rich minerals includes davidite, masuyite and sayrite. The Honkilehto Au‐Co‐S‐mineralization at Kuusamo is characterized by U‐rich minerals with bastnaesite and allanite. The results obtained provide vital insights into the mineralizing processes associated with REE‐prospects in northern and central Finland. Introduction Economic REE deposits are not known in Finland. However, REEs were extracted in the 1960’s century as a by‐product in the fertilizer production from the apatite concentrates of the Kola Peninsula and the Korsnäs Pb mine in western Finland (1). -
