This volume gathers contributions from a range of global experts in
teacher education to address the topic of language teacher
education. It shows how teacher education involves the agency of
teachers, which forms part of their identity, and which they take
on when integrating into the teaching community of practice. In
addition, the volume explores the teachers' situated practice--the
dynamic negotiation of classroom situations, socialization into the
professional teaching culture, and "on the ground experimentation"
with pedagogical skills/techniques.
This book adopts the methods of field investigation and case study,
systematically summarizes the development course of Nanjiang County
in Sichuan Province since China's reform and opening-up, and
comprehensively sorts out its main experiences of promoting green
development and rural governance. These experiences not only have
great enlightening and demonstration significance to the 80
counties that belong to the Qinba mountain area, but also have
important reference value to promote rural revitalization and
realize effective governance in the vast mountainous areas and
counties throughout the country. Therefore, this book is not only
suitable for ordinary readers interested in China's reform and
opening up, but also suitable for professional researchers
interested in China's green development and rural governance.
Chinese folklorists are well acquainted with the work of their
English-language colleagues, but until recently the same could not
be said about American scholars' knowledge of Chinese
folkloristics. Chinese Folklore Studies Today aims to address this
knowledge gap by illustrating the dynamics of contemporary folklore
studies in China as seen through the eyes of the up-and-coming
generation of scholars. Contributors to this volume focuses on
topics that have long been the dominant areas of folklore studies
in China, including myth, folk song, and cultural heritage, as well
as topics that are new to the field, such as urban folklore and
women's folklore. The ethnographic case studies presented here
represent a broad range of geographic areas within mainland China
and also introduce English-language readers to relevant Chinese
literature on each topic, creating the foundation for further
cross-cultural collaborations between English-language and Chinese
folkloristics.
The theory of persistence modules originated in topological data
analysis and became an active area of research in algebraic
topology. This book provides a concise and self-contained
introduction to persistence modules and focuses on their
interactions with pure mathematics, bringing the reader to the
cutting edge of current research. In particular, the authors
present applications of persistence to symplectic topology,
including the geometry of symplectomorphism groups and embedding
problems. Furthermore, they discuss topological function theory,
which provides new insight into oscillation of functions. The book
is accessible to readers with a basic background in algebraic and
differential topology.

This book begins with a historical overview of the evolution of
mobile technologies and addresses two key questions: why do we need
6G? and what will 6G be? The remaining chapters of this book are
organized into three parts: Part I covers the foundation of an
end-to-end 6G system by presenting 6G vision, driving forces, key
performance indicators, and societal requirements on digital
inclusion, sustainability, and intelligence. Part II presents key
radio technology components for the 6G communications to deliver
extreme performance, including new radio access technologies at
high frequencies, joint communications and sensing, AI-driven air
interface, among others. Part III describes key enablers for
intelligent 6G networking, including network disaggregation, edge
computing, data-driven management and orchestration, network
security and trustworthiness, among others. This book is relevant
to researchers, professionals, and academics working in 5G/6G and
beyond.
This book explores teachers’ cognitions about the teaching of
writing in English as a foreign language (EFL) and their teaching
practice, as well as factors influencing the formation and
reformation process of their cognition. Taking stock of Bakhtin’s
dialogism as the theoretical framework, the authors argue that the
formation and reformation of teacher cognition is a dialogic
process. A systematic analysis of participating teachers’
cognition formation and re-formation process suggests the highly
individual nature of teachers’ cognitions. EFL researchers and
teachers, teacher educators, teacher education policymakers,
university administrators and EFL textbook writers could draw on
the findings of the study to provide better resources to implement
the teaching of EFL writing more effectively. The study has adopted
a mixed-methods approach, whose quantitative results show the
patterns and differences of teacher cognition among teachers of
different backgrounds and with different schooling, education and
working experiences. The qualitative findings show in detail
teachers' cognition formation and reformation processes
and the factors contributing to such processes, revealing
convergence and divergence of teachers’ stated cognitions, with a
focus on the discrepancy between teacher cognition and teaching
practice. These are useful lenses through which researchers and
teachers will find significant implications for offering EFL
writing instruction more effectively.

The recent developments in wireless communications, networking, and
embedded systems have driven various innovative Internet of Things
(IoT) applications, e.g., smart cities, mobile healthcare,
autonomous driving and drones. A common feature of these
applications is the stringent requirements for low-latency
communications. Considering the typical small payload size of IoT
applications, it is of critical importance to reduce the size of
the overhead message, e.g., identification information, pilot
symbols for channel estimation, and control data. Such low-overhead
communications also help to improve the energy efficiency of IoT
devices. Recently, structured signal processing techniques have
been introduced and developed to reduce the overheads for key
design problems in IoT networks, such as channel estimation, device
identification, and message decoding. By utilizing underlying
system structures, including sparsity and low rank, these methods
can achieve significant performance gains. This book provides an
overview of four general structured signal processing models: a
sparse linear model, a blind demixing model, a sparse blind
demixing model, and a shuffled linear model, and discusses their
applications in enabling low-overhead communications in IoT
networks. Further, it presents practical algorithms based on both
convex and nonconvex optimization approaches, as well as
theoretical analyses that use various mathematical tools.
Discrete-Time and Discrete-Space Dynamical Systems provides a
systematic characterization of the similarities and differences of
several types of discrete-time and discrete-space dynamical
systems, including: Boolean control networks; nondeterministic
finite-transition systems; finite automata; labelled Petri nets;
and cellular automata. The book's perspective is primarily based on
topological properties though it also employs semitensor-product
and graph-theoretic methods where appropriate. It presents a series
of fundamental results: invertibility, observability,
detectability, reversiblity, etc., with applications to systems
biology. Academic researchers with backgrounds in applied
mathematics, engineering or computer science and practising
engineers working with discrete-time and discrete-space systems
will find this book a helpful source of new understanding for this
increasingly important class of systems. The basic results to be
found within are of fundamental importance for further study of
related problems such as automated synthesis and safety control in
cyber-physical systems using formal methods.

This book summarizes Chinese banks' achievements in global markets
and examines the differences between Chinese and foreign banks. It
also explores the future roadmap of internationalization and the
risks involved in the process, in order to provide reference
resource for Chinese banks. Based on the CBII (Chinese Bank
Internationalization Index), which was first released in 2015, the
book introduces the Banks' Internationalization Index ("BII") and
expands the BII by examining two groups of data, including the
number of overseas branches, overseas assets and revenue. In
addition it analyzes representative Chinese banks'
internationalization, using 16 of the Global Systemically Important
Banks (G-SIBs) as benchmarks.
This book systematically reviews the development of social policy
since the establishment of the People's Republic of China. As such,
it begins by investigating the establishment of the Insurance
System in the early period, then moves on to the planned economy
period, the Cultural Revolution period, and the Reform and Opening
Up period, characterized by efforts to adapt to a market economy.
For each period, the book examines the effect of the economic
system, the mode of production and forms of employment for social
policy design, so as to clarify the developing context of Chinese
social policy, and to help readers grasp the legal aspects of
social policy development and the main problems China faces in its
present economic developmental stage.

This brief focuses on introducing a novel mathematical framework,
referred as hypergraph theory, to model and solve the multiple
interferer scenarios for future wireless communication networks.
First, in Chap. 1, the authors introduce the basic preliminaries of
hypergraph theory in general, and develop two hypergraph based
polynomial algorithms, i.e., hypergraph coloring and hypergraph
clustering. Then, in Chaps. 2 and 3, the authors present two
emerging applications of hypergraph coloring and hypergraph
clustering in Device-to-Device (D2D) underlay communication
networks, respectively, in order to show the advantages of
hypergraph theory compared with the traditional graph theory.
Finally, in Chap. 4, the authors discuss the limitations of using
hypergraph theory in future wireless networks and briefly present
some other potential applications. This brief introduces the
state-of-the-art research on the hypergraph theory and its
applications in wireless communications. An efficient framework is
provided for the researchers, professionals and advanced level
students who are interested in the radio resource allocation in the
heterogeneous networks to solve the resource allocation and
interference management problems.

Foreign aid has connected China and the international community
through many channels, and created new types of strong partnerships
throughout the world. As a recipient country, China and donors have
engaged in an unprecedentedly deep level of cooperation on
development-related issues. China's development experience has
resulted in key changes to the relationships and partnerships
between China and donors, from receiving foreign aid to entering
into development cooperation. China has provided valuable
experiences for other developing countries, experiences that are
all the more relevant because they have revealed key factors at
work in developing recipient countries. This has also led China to
form closer cooperative relationships with other developing
countries with regard to development issues. In short, foreign aid
has changed China.
