From “Relational System” to “Cultural Mechanism”: Chinese Warlord Politics (1916-1928)

Yuanhang Chen
Hsi-sheng Chi’s 1976 English monograph *Warlord Politics in China, 1916-1928* was the first to systematically construct an analytical paradigm of “relation-culture” in the study of Beiyang warlord politics.

The analysis reveals how the Quota-Allocation-by-Region system and Native-Place Testing Principle, while designed to balance educational opportunities and maintain stability, paradoxically stimulated HRFIE through regional quota disparities, population mobility, and stringent registration constraint...

The Circle-Apollon’s Theorem, Equanimous Inverses

Emmanuel Cadier Anaxhaoza
Soon, the edition will have the challenge of publishing the prompts of the authors. The theorem of Thales and the theorem of Pythagoras do not escape the rule, and they seem to have been preceded by several millennia. Asking the true paternity of those geometrical realities makes it possible to show that  a * b = R2 according to the terms defined by the Theorem of the Circle or Theorem of Apollo stating the constant product of two segments of perpendicular tangents for a...
