Zygmunt Bauman’s “Hybrid Sociology”: Literary Imagination and Sociological Interpretation

Baoqing Mu 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2016 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.6 No.1

Zygmunt Bauman is known to be a great sociologist with unique poetic and literary expressiveness. In his oeuvre, Bauman has created a number of impressive sociological portraits, provided an exceptional access to our discovering and understanding of the human conditions and dilemmas in postmodern era. Evidently, metaphors have performed a central role in his theoretical interpretation and diagnostical analysis of the liquid modernity. With his deliberate combination of sociological interpretation and literary imagination, Bauman breaks away from the confines and fetters of the orthodox sociology, thus developing his hybrid sociology. Bauman’s sociological narrative gives a full expression of his moral impulse; and in his enduring research, he is continuously appealing to people to bear their moral and ethical responsibility for the other, for the society. As an optimistic sociologist, Bauman holds the firm belief in the human potential and prospect to ultimately construct “a good society”. However, he does not offer a specific scheme to achieve this great ideal, due to his individualist narrowness and his utopian sociological imagination. His theories and methodological stance, therefore, are inapplicable to the interpretation of the social realities in China.

Energy And Environmental Engineering : A Unified Conjugate Mass Transfer Model of VOC Emission

( Baoqing Deng ),( Chang Nyung Kim ) 한국화학공학회 2003 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.20 No.4

This paper develops a unified conjugate mass transfer model for VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emission, which implies conjugate boundary condition for mass transfer at the material-air interface. Thus, no special treatment is needed at the material-air interface and numerical methods for conjugate heat transfer problem can be applied directly. The material-air partition coefficient has been taken into account and its effect is the same as specific heat in the energy equation. The equivalent diffusion coefficient in the material K_(ma)D_(m) instead of D_(m) characterizes the rate of mass transfer. The ratio K_(ma)D_(m)/D_(a) indicates whether VOC emission is controlled by the internal diffusion or not. The equivalent air-phase initial concentration C_(0)/K_(ma) determines the order of maximum concentration in the air. VOC emission contains two stages: the initial stage and the pseudo-steady stage when the emission rate nearly equals mass rate through the outlet of the air. Diffusion coefficient of VOC in the aterial has a significant effect on VOC emission in the two stages. The effect of partition coefficient on VOC emission depends on the value of K_(ma)D_(m)/D_(a).

Baoqing Deng,김창녕,Daqiang Ge,Li Lu,Di Ge,Jiajia Li,Yuan Guo 한국화학공학회 2014 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.31 No.6

Radiation distribution in a photoreactor with multiple mediums is solved by the P-1 model. The UV lampis included in the computational domain. An additional source term method is presented to describe the generation ofUV light, which can avoid the use of analytical lamp emission model at the lamp surface. The boundary condition forincident radiation at the semi-transparent wall between adjacent mediums has been derived to link the P-1 equationsin adjacent mediums, which enables the present model to adapt to the photoreactor with complicated structure. Thepredicted incident radiation agrees well with the experimental data in literature. The effects of absorption coefficient,scattering coefficient and phase function of lamp plasma on the radiation distribution are discussed in detail.

A multi-phase model for VOC emission from single-layer dry building materials

Baoqing Deng,Ru Li,Chang Nyung Kim 한국화학공학회 2009 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.26 No.4

Abstract−A multi-phase model for the emission of VOC from dry building materials is developed. Dry building materials are viewed as porous media. A general adsorption isotherm is used to construct the concentration equation in the porous media. The boundary conditions at the material-air interface are presented for both CFD model and one compartment model. With the use of Henry’s law for the adsorption isotherm, an analytical solution is obtained and further is validated with the comparison of the experiment performed by Yang et al. [1], yielding a relatively good agreement. The effects of the model parameters on the emission are investigated in detail. Increasing the effective diffusion coefficient and the partition coefficient tends to promote the emission and increase the peak value of the concentration in the air. The effect of the porosity depends on the degree of the dependence of the effective diffusion coefficient on the porosity. When a weak dependence exists, the increase of the porosity tends to suppress the emission and decrease the peak value of the concentration in the air. However, when a strong dependence exists, the increase of the porosity tends to promote the emission and increase the peak value of the concentration in the air.

Comparative analysis of the gut microbiota in distinct statin response patients in East China

Baoqing Sun,Luming Li,Xinfu Zhou 한국미생물학회 2018 The journal of microbiology Vol.56 No.12

Statin response shows great interindividual variations. Recently, emerging studies have shown that gut microbiota is linked to therapeutic responses to drugs, including statins. However, the association between the gut bacteria composition and statin response is still unclear. In this study, gut microbiota of 202 hyperlipidemic patients with statin sensitive (SS) response and statin resistant (SR) response in East China were investigated by high throughput sequencing to compare the gut bacteria composition and biodiversity in distinct statin response patients. Higher biodiversity was detected in Group SS than Group SR. Specifically, group SS showed significantly increased proportion of genera Lactobacillus (P = 0.001), Eubacterium (P = 0.004), Faecalibacterium (P = 0.005), and Bifidobacterium (P = 0.002) and decreased proportion of genus Clostridium (P = 0.001) compared to Group SR. The results indicated that higher gut biodiversity was associated with statin sensitive response. The increased genera Lactobacillus, Eubacterium, Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, and decreased genus Clostridium in patient gut microbiota may predict patient's statin response, and hence may guide statin dosage adjustments.

Numerical modeling of volatile organic compound emissions from multi-layer dry building materials

Baoqing Deng,김창녕,Songming Tang,김정태 한국화학공학회 2010 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.27 No.4

This paper presents a mathematical model capable of simulating VOCs emission from a multi-layer material. The analytical solutions of the concentration in the air and the emission rate are obtained by Laplace transform and are validated through experiment. The influences of parameters of multi-layer material on the emission of VOCs are investigated in detail. Results show that the inner layer may act as a sink or a source of the top layer, depending on their initial concentrations and partition coefficients. For the case of the inner layer being a source of the top layer, the top layer becomes a barrier layer, reducing the emission rate of VOCs from the source. A low diffusion coefficient and a large thickness may promote the effect of the barrier on the emission rate, which helps to maintain better air quality in an indoor environment. The present solution is a longitudinal extension of a single layer problem, while the emission from multi-source is a transverse extension of a single layer problem.

A numerical prediction on the reduction of microorganisms with UV disinfection

Chan Li,Baoqing Deng,김창녕 대한기계학회 2010 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.24 No.7

This paper investigates the three dimensional flow field and organism concentration in a UV disinfection channel. The modified P-1model is newly adopted to solve the UV intensity field. This modified P-1 model for radiative transfer can yield an accurate light intensity for even complicated geometries. The effect of UV light intensity on the disinfection of microorganisms has been considered in the species equation. Differently from existing literatures, this study has used the Euler method for the calculation of both the flow field and the concentration of organisms. The CFD modeling results are compared with existing experimental data [1] for a UV channel, which shows outstanding agreement. The effects of inlet velocity, absorption coefficients of lamps quartz and water on the disinfection efficiency are investigated. With a smaller inlet velocity and smaller absorption coefficients, higher disinfection efficiency has been obtained. The current CFD model has the capability to predict the performance of UV disinfection channels.
