•The generalized variational principle of the modified equal width-Burgers equation is established.•The periodic solution is constructed.•The results are illustrated through 3-D contours and 2-D ...curves.
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the modified equal width-Burgers equation that is used wildly to describe long wave propagation in nonlinear media with dispersion and dissipation. With the help of the Semi inverse method, we successfully establish its generalized variational principle for the first time, which can reveal the energy conservation law of the whole solution domain. Then a novel and interesting method called He's frequency formulation, which is derived from the ancient Chinese algorithm (ACG)-Ying-Bu-Zu-Shu, is employed to construct its periodic solution. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the solutions in the form of 3-D and 2-D plots. The results in this work are expected to give certain guiding significance for the study of variational theory and periodic wave theory of physical equations.

This conceptual paper addresses a fundamental issue in understanding culture in relation to cross-cultural business relationships between Eastern and Western partners. The proposition is that ...contemporary cultural investigations have privileged Western lenses mostly involving scientific rationalism and Cartesian dualism. What is largely excluded are Eastern holistic lenses that are more sensitive to embodied context and paradoxical dualities. The paper explores these different epistemes and develops a synergistic or bi-focal approach that aims to benefit from combining Eastern and Western worldviews. The post-Cartesian approach developed subsequently is based upon the idea that ‘yin-yang’ dualities operate at both a general level and within specific contexts. Culture is described as a dynamic duality between situated symbolic activities and more generalized signified meanings. Activities are described as cultural ‘holons’ nested within a holarchy or hierarchy of holons or ‘holarchy’ Consequently, culture is seen as an emergent property from a hierarchy of dualities. In this holarchy of dualities, images create meanings enacted in activities and translated through performative activities where meanings are sustained by becoming accepted as real through axiomatic acceptance. Recursively, the enactment of axiomatically accepted ideas in activities translates back through ‘masked’ performances to legitimize and institutionalize these ideas and images amongst and between actors. As a result, cultural differences identified as emanating from values viewed as independent variables is regarded as an over-simplification. Cultural differences are likely, in the dynamic holarchy described, to come from different activities or cultural practices and/or in the translations through performativities and representations between activities and cultural structures such as values. There are some universal cultural similarities to these complex processes, but we mainly focus upon the principal cultural differences between the Eastern and Western holonic assemblages of symbolic dualities and that, metaphorically, a bi-focal duality approach reflects reality better than monocled dualism.
•This conceptual paper addresses a fundamental issue in understanding culture in relation to cross-cultural business relationships between Eastern and Western partners.•Midgley, Nicholson and Brennan (2017) make the valuable point that any solutions in terms of research consequences of methodological pluralism must be relevant in practice. The bottom line, however, is that rather than simply serving as yet another critique of the status quo in B2B research, this paper argues for consideration of a holonic assemblage perspective which advocates practices of collaboration or experimentation that seeks to make positive, incremental change in the world rather than promote indiscriminate discursive or activist assaults on capitalism.•We hope to have illustrated that cultural exploration has been dominated by dualism, an ‘either/or’ approach, but that when this assumption is relaxed, culture can be conceived as a duality. When duality is adopted, a ‘both/and’ logic becomes more resonant. What accompanies this idea is an understanding of culture as dynamic, fragmented and paradoxical. It follows that reliance upon Cartesian dualism is a flawed strategy, but elimination of this episteme is equally flawed. The main question is what should be employed as a complementarity to Cartesian logic. It seems that Eastern (both /and) logic is a suitable
In an analysis published in The Lancet Public Health, Jinquan Gong and colleagues forecast that an extra 14·02 million older Chinese people will need long-term care by 2030. ...the commissioners say, ...promoting the development of interdisciplinary primary health-care teams, integrated into the community, for older people is imperative, including the establishment of mobile health and online health services to improve access. Staff members interact with senior citizens at a community-based day care service station for senior citizens in Shanghai, east China, Jan. 2, 2020. Shanghai has stepped up efforts in advancing diversified elderly care services based on communities and families, which provide services such as long-term nursing, day care, and assisted living to nearby senior citizens.
The effects of thermal dispersion on forced convection inside a porous-saturated pipe were studied. The pipe wall is considered to maintain a constant and balanced heat flux. This model is based on a ...nonlinear equation containing a nonlinear term related to viscous dissipation, heat source terms and axial conduction. The steady-state thermal energy equation is solved using Taylor's series method coupled with the Ying Buzu algorithm. A numerical solution is also provided that is valid for the wide range of thermal dispersion conductivity. Furthermore, the outcome results based on present investigation are in good agreement with the literature.
As is known to all, the complex nonlinear Fokas-Lenells equation is widely used to describe the propagation of short pulses in optical fibers. In this work, we aim to study its time-space fractional ...modified form. An ancient Chinese algorithm called the Ying Bu Zu Shu (盈不足术), which is from an ancient Chinese mathematics monograph-The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art (九章算术) in about second century AD, is used to find its periodic solution. The solution obtained by our proposed method is the same as the one obtained via the variational method, which strongly proves the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method. Finally, we plot the solution with different fractional orders in the form of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional surfaces. The finding in this work is expected to be helpful for the study of the periodic solution in physics.
Surgical resection is an important avenue for cancer treatment, which, in most cases, can effectively alleviate the patient symptoms. However, accumulating evidence has documented that surgical ...resection potentially enhances metastatic seeding of tumor cells. In this review, we revisit the literature on surgical stress, and outline the mechanisms by which surgical stress, including ischemia/reperfusion injury, activation of sympathetic nervous system, inflammation, systemically hypercoagulable state, immune suppression and effects of anesthetic agents, promotes tumor metastasis. We also propose preventive strategies or resolution of tumor metastasis caused by surgical stress.

In March 2019, Hou Ying presented a site-specific dance performance called “Immanent fall” as part of the “Civilization: The Way We Live Now” series to an audience in the labyrinth-like exhibition ...hall in the Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. Her creation seems to have had an amazing predictive function which was almost identical to what is happening in the world today, the outbreak of COVID-19. In an in-depth interview with Hou Ying and Aimee T. Liu, Hou shared her inspiration for creating the work “Immanent Fall”, and explored her reflections on the crisis that hit human civilization on 23 February, 2020.
