Dissertation JIAN 2016 Final
The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang. -
Chen Prime Liczby Pierwsze Chena
Chen Prime Liczby pierwsze Chena Chen Jingrun • Data urodzenia: 22 maj 1933 • Data śmierci: 19 marzec 1996 Pochodzi z wielodzietnej rodziny z Fuzhou, Fujian, Chiny. W 1953 roku skończył wydział matematyki na Uniwersytecie w Xiamen. Jego prace nad przypuszczeniem o bliźniaczych liczbach pierwszych oraz hipotezą Goldbacha doprowadziły do postępu analitycznej teorii liczb. Największym jego osiągnięciem było tzw. twierdzenie Chena stanowiące słabszą wersję słynnej hipotezy Goldbacha. Nazwiskiem Chen Jingruna została nazwana planetoida 7681 Chenjingrun odkryta w 1996 roku Hipoteza Goldbacha • jeden z najstarszych nierozwiązanych problemów w teorii liczb, liczy sobie ponad 250 lat • W 1742 roku, w liście do Leonharda Eulera, Christian Goldbach postawił hipotezę: każda liczba naturalna większa niż 2 może być przedstawiona w postaci sumy trzech liczb pierwszych (ta sama liczba pierwsza może być użyta dwukrotnie) Euler po otrzymaniu listu stwierdził iż hipotezę Goldbacha można uprościć i przedstawić ją w następujący sposób: każda liczba naturalna parzysta większa od 2 jest sumą dwóch liczb pierwszych Powyższą hipotezę do dzisiaj nazywaną "hipotezą Goldbacha" sformułował w rezultacie Euler, jednak nazwa nie została zmieniona. Oto kilka prostych przykładów: 4=2+2 6=3+3 8=3+5 10=3+7=5+5 … 100=53+47… Dzięki użyciu komputerów udało się pokazać, że hipoteza Goldbacha jest prawdziwa dla liczb naturalnych mniejszych niż 4 × 1017 (przez przedstawienie każdej z tych liczb w postaci sumy dwóch liczb pierwszych). Co więcej, większość współczesnych matematyków -

LIPROOFS_5.23.19 5/23/2019 10:00 AM FIGHTING THE “THREE EVILS”: A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF COUNTER-TERRORISM LEGAL ARCHITECTURE IN CHINA Enshen Li* ABSTRACT In the aftermath of September 11 attacks, China has not been immune to the global trend of destructive terrorism. However, China’s perceptions of terrorism and legal responses to it greatly diverge from those of other countries. This Article first seeks to understand the cause, source, and impact of terrorist threats in China, known as “Three Evils”—terrorism, extremism, and separatism, through a critical inquiry of the country’s ethnic and religious policies. It then proceeds to delineate China’s legal framework for combating the “Three Evils” to explore the cultural characteristics of the government’s approach against these rising threats. Tracing the evolution of the country’s counter-terrorism laws and policies, this Article argues that China has developed an operational infrastructure composed of four strands to fight terrorism: crackdown, criminalization, control, and cooperation. -
Hua Zhu English Department MA Thesis Full Draft-2
ABSTRACT A CRITICAL-DRAMATISTIC STUDY OF RHETORIC: ANALYZING IDEOLOGICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF CHINA IN THE REPORTING OF THE KUNMING ATTACK by Hua Zhu This thesis argues for a new methodology, namely, critical-dramatistic analysis, for studying the rhetorical construction of reality in news reports and the politics and ideological forces that motivate and legitimatize such discursive representation of reality. Mainly synthesized from pentadic analysis and social-oriented critical discourse analysis, this methodology proposes a hybrid analytical framework that explains textual features of news reports in terms of the historical and sociocultural exigencies. To verify the applicability of this methodology, I employ a critical-dramatistic analysis to critique the ideological representations of China in three news reports on the Kunming Attack. My analysis of the reporting of the Kunming Attack also provides fresh data to understand the interpretive frames of different discourse communities. Implications upon discourse analysis of reality construction in news reports and upon cross-cultural communication are suggested, followed by a discussion about the limitations of the current study and the possible directions for future studies.

Goldbach, Christian
CHRISTIAN GOLDBACH (March 18, 1690 – November 20, 1764) by HEINZ KLAUS STRICK, Germany One of the most famous, still unproven conjectures of number theory is: • Every even number greater than 2 can be represented as the sum of two prime numbers. The scholar CHRISTIAN GOLDBACH made this simple mathematical statement to his pen pal LEONHARD EULER in 1742 as an assumption. (In the original version it said: Every natural number greater than 2 can be represented as the sum of three prime numbers, since at that time the number 1 was still considered a prime number.) All attempts to prove this theorem have so far failed. Even the offer of a prize of one million dollars hardly led to any progress. CHEN JINGRUN (1933-1996, Chinese stamp on the left), student of HUA LUOGENG (1910-1985, stamp on the right), the most important Chinese mathematician of the 20th century, succeeded in 1966 in making the "best approximation" to GOLDBACH's conjecture. CHEN JINGRUN was able to prove that any sufficiently large even number can be represented as the sum of a prime number and another number that has at most two prime factors. Among the first even numbers are those that have only one GOLDBACH decomposition: 4 = 2 + 2; 6 = 3 + 3; 8 = 3 + 5; 12 = 5 + 7. For larger even numbers one finds a "tendency" to increase the number of possibilities, but even then there is always a number that has only a few decompositions, such as 98 = 19 + 79 = 31 + 67 = 37 + 61.

The purpose of this paper is to gather as much results of advances, recent and previous works as possible concerning the oldest outstanding still unsolved problem in Number Theory (and the most elusive open problem in prime numbers) called "Twin primes conjecture" (8th problem of David Hilbert, stated in 1900) which has eluded many gifted mathematicians. This conjecture has been circulating for decades, even with the progress of contemporary technology that puts the whole world within our reach. So, simple to state, yet so hard to prove. Basic Concepts, many and varied topics regarding the Twin prime conjecture will be cover.

Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided. -

Practice and Understanding of the Goldbach Problem (A) Tong Xinping (童 信 平) [email protected] Abstract Practice shows: Without enough parameters, 1+2 cannot estimate 1+1 and 1+1×1. At the same time, it is pointed out that among the prime numbers not greater than N, the prime number 6t-1 is more than the prime number 6t+1, (this is the "detail" that Hardy and the others did not notice.) "detail" (= "remainder") affects Represents the negligible oscillation in the accuracy curve of the number r2(N) of Hardy-Litttlewood conjecture (A) in 1921.
