Connotation

Abstract: Nanjing Yunjin was included in “the first batch of non-material cultural heritage list in China” in 2006, and the city was also selected as “a list of representatives of human intangible cultural heritage” by the United Nations in September 2009. Nanjing Yunjin is now a scarce tourism resource on the verge of extinction. Carrying out effective cultural tourism development and production, and informing consumers about its cultural connotation are problems worth studying. This study aims to explore and analyze the cultural reproduction process of Nanjing Yunjin in the cultural tourism production-consumption closed-cycle model. Based on the review, the study introduces word cloud tools and explores the cultural production links of heritage by means of narrative analysis, applies quantitative methods to verify the relationship among production, consumption, and reproduction, and finally, constructs the production-consumption impact model of Nanjing Yunjin cultural tourism. Results indicate that the cultural tourism production of Nanjing Yunjin has a significant positive impact on cultural tourism consumption, which, in turn, positively affects cultural reproduction. In addition, cultural tourism production has a significant impact on its cultural reproduction part, and consumption plays a mediating role in the impact of cultural tourism production on its reproduction.

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with theorizing the interrelationships between ‘race’ and gender oppression and the extent to which this is furthered by using the concept of ‘difference’. [⃛ ] Although the concept has no one connotation, as will be discussed, its implications of plurality and multiplicity have been regarded by many as providing the necessary antidote to the former unquestioning use of the unified terms ‘woman’ or ‘women’. It is now commonplace to read books and articles, often written by white feminists, exhorting us to remember that there are differences between women and that these need to be taken account of in our work.

Abstract: Natural gas is of vital importance to China’s economy and social stability. Considering the high complexity and uncertainty of China’s natural gas supply system, the stable supply of natural gas faces enormous challenges. How to improve its supply resilience is a key question to be solved urgently. In this paper, the connotation of natural gas supply resilience is defined and a systematic resilience assessment method is proposed based on ecological network analysis. All results are calculated by publicly available data and reasonable assumptions. From the static perspective, it is found that China’s natural gas supply resilience increases during 2016–2020. From the dynamic perspective, the disruption and recovery process of China’s natural gas supply system is quantitatively described. And it is found that increasing the supply capacity of LNG sources is conducive to improving the anti-interference and recovery capabilities of the system. Based on the results, suggestions are proposed to improve China’s natural gas supply resilience. The ecological network analysis model proposed in this paper provides a new perspective for the study of natural gas supply resilience, which can be used as guidance for policy making.
