Zong Wei,Ren Liang,Qu Jinshuai 아시아사회과학학회 2020 Jornal of Asia Social Science Vol.1 No.2

Southeast Asia is not only one of the birthplaces of human civilization, but also the region with various and complex religions in the world. Its religious development has a long history, which can be traced back to the period of primitive society. With the development of human civilization and social productive forces, the improvement of natural environment and cross-regional religious and cultural exchanges, the religious culture in Southeast Asia shows the characteristics of diversity, variability and mixing. This paper divides the development of religion in Southeast Asia into two stages, and focuses on the development and characteristics of different religions in Southeast Asia before the introduction of foreign religions and the development of emerging religions in Southeast Asia.

Re-analysis of the Terrorist Separation Activities of the Rohingya People

Zong Wei 아시아사회과학학회 2022 Jornal of Asia Social Science Vol.6 No.2

Tracing back and studying the causes of terrorist separatist activities by Rohingya people is the key basis for understanding this special social phenomenon. From the perspective of research methods, hierarchical research method, process research method and complexity research method are the main research methods often used by researchers when analyzing and studying the issues related to the terrorist separation activities launched by the Rohingya people. Although the hierarchical research method can analyze and study the behavior of inducing some Rohingya people to carry out terrorist separation activities from three specific “fulcrums”, such as individual experience, social interaction and group identification, the research idea that the research dimension is too single and static greatly weakens the explanatory power of this research method. The dynamic research idea of the process research method effectively makes up for the deficiency of the hierarchical research method. However, this research method interprets the phenomenon that triggers some Rohingya people to launch terrorist separation activities as an interlocking stylized process. However, this research method can t scientifically explain the terrorist separation activities that don t have the characteristics of non-sequential process in the actual application process. Although the complexity research method has provided a brand-new way of thinking for researchers in the practical process of applying it to the analysis of the terrorist separatist activities launched by the Rohingya people, it has not yet formed a relatively mature theoretical paradigm. Therefore, on the basis of analysis and summary, it is very important to study and discuss the practical application and development trend of complexity research method in the future.

Zong Wei,Yan Xiaorong,Hua Minchao 아시아사회과학학회 2021 Jornal of Asia Social Science Vol.5 No.3

China’s frontier society is in the process of social transformation. Take Xinjiang as an example, there are two parallel governance modes: local governance and corps governance. The proposal of “the Belt and Road Initiative” strategy reshaped the shape and status of Xinjiang, and made Xinjiang a center of two-way opening to the outside world, which had a far-reaching impact on the stability and development of border areas. In this discourse situation, it is necessary to look at the diachronic changes around “the Belt and Road Initiative” in Xinjiang from the comparison of history and modernity. Taking wasteland as the breakthrough point, this paper discusses the influence of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps on Xinjiang’s modern social transformation in the ways of ethnic communication, regional development, world trade system, social domination, etc. by combing the comparison of Xinjiang’s wasteland and frontier defense, ethnic exchanges, agricultural development, trade and social development before and after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Genome Analysis and Optimization of Caproic Acid Production of Clostridium butyricum GD1-1 Isolated from the Pit Mud of Nongxiangxing Baijiu

Li Min,Li Tao,Zheng Jia,Qiao Zongwei,Zhang Kaizheng,Luo Huibo,Zou Wei 한국미생물·생명공학회 2023 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.33 No.10

Caproic acid is a precursor substance for the synthesis of ethyl caproate, the main flavor substance of nongxiangxing baijiu liquor. In this study, Clostridium butyricum GD1-1, a strain with high caproic acid concentration (3.86 g/l), was isolated from the storage pit mud of nongxiangxing baijiu for sequencing and analysis. The strain’s genome was 3,840,048 bp in length with 4,050 open reading frames. In addition, virulence factor annotation analysis showed C. butyricum GD1-1 to be safe at the genetic level. However, the annotation results using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Automatic Annotation Server predicted a deficiency in the strain’s synthesis of alanine, methionine, and biotin. These results were confirmed by essential nutrient factor validation experiments. Furthermore, the optimized medium conditions for caproic acid concentration by strain GD1-1 were (g/l): glucose 30, NaCl 5, yeast extract 10, peptone 10, beef paste 10, sodium acetate 11, L-cysteine 0.6, biotin 0.004, starch 2, and 2.0% ethanol. The optimized fermentation conditions for caproic acid production by C. butyricum GD1-1 on a single-factor basis were: 5% inoculum volume, 35°C, pH 7, and 90% loading volume. Under optimal conditions, the caproic acid concentration of strain GD1-1 reached 5.42 g/l, which was 1.40 times higher than the initial concentration. C. butyricum GD1-1 could be further used in caproic acid production, NXXB pit mud strengthening and maintenance, and artificial pit mud preparation.

Zhang, Bei,Wang, Yanping,Tan, Zhongfang,Li, Zongwei,Jiao, Zhen,Huang, Qunce Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2016 Animal Bioscience Vol.29 No.10

In this study, 69 lactobacilli isolated from Tibetan Qula, a raw yak milk cheese, were screened for their potential use as probiotics. The isolates were tested in terms of: Their ability to survive at pH 2.0, pH 3.0, and in the presence of 0.3% bile salts; tolerance of simulated gastric and intestinal juices; antimicrobial activity; sensitivity against 11 specific antibiotics; and their cell surface hydrophobicity. The results show that out of the 69 strains, 29 strains (42%) had survival rates above 90% after 2 h of incubation at pH values of 2.0 or 3.0. Of these 29 strains, 21 strains showed a tolerance for 0.3% bile salt. Incubation of these 21 isolates in simulated gastrointestinal fluid for 3 h revealed survival rates above 90%; the survival rate for 20 of these isolates remained above 90% after 4 h of incubation in simulated intestinal fluid. The viable counts of bacteria after incubation in simulated gastric fluid for 3 h and simulated intestinal fluid for 4 h were both significantly different compared with the counts at 0 h (p<0.001). Further screening performed on the above 20 isolates indicated that all 20 lactobacilli strains exhibited inhibitory activity against Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, and Salmonella enterica ATCC 43971. Moreover, all of the strains were resistant to vancomycin and streptomycin. Of the 20 strains, three were resistant to all 11 elected antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, tetracycline, penicillin G, ampicillin, streptomycin, polymyxin B, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and gentamicin) in this study, and five were sensitive to more than half of the antibiotics. Additionally, the cell surface hydrophobicity of seven of the 20 lactobacilli strains was above 70%, including strains Lactobacillus casei 1,133 (92%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1086-1 (82%), Lactobacillus casei 1089 (81%), Lactobacillus casei 1138 (79%), Lactobacillus buchneri 1059 (78%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1141 (75%), and Lactobacillus plantarum 1197 (71%). Together, these results suggest that these seven strains are good probiotic candidates, and that tolerance against bile acid, simulated gastric and intestinal juices, antimicrobial activity, antibiotic resistance, and cell surface hydrophobicity could be adopted for preliminary screening of potentially probiotic lactobacilli.

Phenotypic and Phylogenetic Analysis of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Forage Crops and Grasses in the Tibetan Plateau

Huili Pang,Zhongfang Tan,Guangyong Qin,Yanping Wang,Zongwei Li,Qingsheng Jin,Yimin Cai 한국미생물학회 2012 The journal of microbiology Vol.50 No.1

A total of 140 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from corn, alfalfa, clover, sainfoin, and Indian goosegrass in the Tibetan Plateau. According to phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, 16S rDNA sequence, and recA gene PCR amplification, these LAB isolates were identified as belonging to five genera and nine species. Corn contained more LAB species than other forage crops. Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Lactobacillus brevis, and Weissella paramesenteroides were dominant members of the LAB population on alfalfa, clover, sainfoin, and Indian goosegrass, respectively. The comprehensive 16S rDNA and recA-based approach effectively described the LAB community structure of the relatively abundant LAB species distributed on different forage crops. This is the first report describing the diversity and natural populations of LAB associated with Tibetan forage crops, and most isolates grow well at or below 10°C. The results will be valuable for the future design of appropriate inoculants for silage fermentation in this very cold area.
