The main results are as follows. (1) The 2020 YHRB Meiyu exhibits extremely anomalous characteristics, which are the most prominent since the 1980s. The 2020 Meiyu season features the fourth earliest onset, the third latest retreat, the longest duration, the maximum Meiyu rainfall, the strongest mean rainfall intensity, and the maximum number of sta- tions/days with rainstorm. (2) The extremely long duration of the 2020 Meiyu season lies in the farily early onset and late retreat of Meiyu in this particular year. The early onset of Meiyu is due to the earlier-than-normal first northward shift and migration of the key influential systems including the northwestern Pacific subtropical high (NWPSH) and the South Asian high (SAH) along with the East Asian summer monsoon, induced by weak cold air activities from late May to early mid-June. However, the extremely late retreat of Meiyu is because of later-than-normal second northward shift of the associated large-scale circulation systems accompanied with strong cold air activities, and ex- tremely weak and southward located ITCZ over Northwest Pacific in July. (3) The extremely more than normal Meiyu rainfall is represented by its long duration and strong rainfall intensity. The latter is likely attributed to ex- treme anomalies of water vapor convergence and vertical ascending motion over the YHRB, resulting from the com- pound effects of the westward extended and enlarged NWPSH, the eastward extended and expanded SAH, and the strong water vapor transport associated with the low-level southerly wind. The extremely warm SST in the tropical Indian Ocean seems to be the key factor to induce the above-mentioned anomalous large-scale circulations. The res- ults from this study serve to improve understanding of formation mechanisms of the extreme Meiyu in China and may help forecasters to extract useful large-scale circulation features from numerical model products to improve me- dium-extended-range operational forecasts.

Linguistic composition and characteristics of Chinese given names Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss various linguistic and cultural aspect of personal naming in China. In Chinese civilization, personal names, especially given names, were considered crucial for a person’s fate and achievements. The more important the position of a person, the more various categories of names the person received. Chinese naming practices do not restrict the inventory of possible given names, i.e. given names are formed individually, mainly as a result of a process of onymisation, and given names are predominantly semantically transparent. Therefore, given names seem to be well suited for a study of stereotyped cultural expectations present in Chinese society. The paper deals with numerous subdivisions within the superordinate category of personal name, as the subclasses of surname and given name. It presents various subcategories of names that have been used throughout Chinese history, their linguistic characteristics, their period of origin, and their cultural or social functions.

DfRem activities occur at the stage of new product design but have a significant impact on subsequent remanufacturing operations. Based on the closed-loop supply chain operation systems with DfRem, we systematically explored the impact of DfRem on supply chain operation decisions through a case study and modeling analysis and built up a modeling research framework of DfRem-driven closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) operation decision-making. Our research identified DfRem-driven model design elements and discussed the modeling of DfRem-driven investment decision problems, involving different approaches to obtain DfRem investment (i.e., DfRem-driven horizontal or vertical supply chain cooperation) and the ownership of DfRem-level decision-making rights. Moreover, the DfRem-driven two-stage and multi-period modeling processes are elaborated in detail. The aim of this paper is to provide other scholars with a more comprehensive understanding of DfRem research issues, and to establish an integrated DfRem-driven research framework for subsequent scholars to better conduct modeling research on DfRem.

ABSTRACT Current healthcare policies limit the time during which intensive rehabilitation is available for stroke and brain injury survivors (AAPM&R, 2009). Yet the timeline for recovery from such insults extends well beyond the typical window of rehabilitation provision, which makes independently administered cognitive stimulation an essential component of the recovery process. Unfortunately, little data exist as to the efficacy of such programs.

  • Arirang”: the Korean Resistance Anthem That Became a Japanese Pop Hit
    The Journal of Asian Studies Vol. 66, No. 3 (August) 2007: 645–687. © 2007 Association of Asian Studies Inc. doi: 10.1017/S0021911807000927 The Dual Career of “Arirang”: The Korean Resistance Anthem That Became a Japanese Pop Hit E. TAYLOR ATKINS “Arirang” is known worldwide as the quintessential Korean folk song. Its iconic status in contemporary Korea derives from its perceived role in strengthening Korean resolve to resist the cultural violence of the Japanese colonial occupation (1905–45). A musical “skeleton” capable of countless improvised variations and interpretations, some “Arirangs” explicitly assailed the Japanese and thus were censored by colonial authorities. However, in the 1930s and 1940s, precisely the time when assimilationist pressures in colonial Korea were intensifying, Japanese songsmiths, singers, and recording companies released “Arirang” ren- ditions in prodigious quantities, sometimes in collaboration with Korean perfor- mers. “Arirang” became the most familiar song in the Japanese empire: Its persistent theme of loss spoke to Koreans of their lost sovereignty and to Japanese of the ravaging effects of modernity on traditional lifeways. For both peoples, it served as a mirror for self-contemplation and an “ethnographic lens” for gazing upon the other.
