The Eleventh Central Committee : Continuity or Change ?
After the Seventh Party Congress in 1945, party congresses have been landmarks in the listory of the party and the republic. During ~he first six congresses held in the short span ~f seven years, the main focus was on consolidation of’ the ideological and organizational bases under the guidance of the Soviet Union, and on tiie attainment of the bourgeoisdemocratic revolution under the leadership of the Kuomintang (KMT). Chiang Kai-shek’s Shanghai coup of 1927 and the succeeding civil war resulted in fundamental changes in the revolutionary situation in China and CPC’s strategy to attain bourgeois-democratic revolution. This new strategy was more Chinese than Soviet, which resulted in the two-line struggles within the party. The Seventh Party Congress held in 1945 marked the consolidation of the Maoist line
Solar Energy as Heat Source
A monography on Distillation of water using solar energy was published [1]. A review was presented on the most important and recent studies on solar distillation [2]. Solar water desalination plants of the greenhouse type, plants of high capacity with heat pipe collectors and flat plate collectors in connection with MSF evaporation were reviewed [3]. An assessment of solar distillation plant performance, attainable with presently existing technology, provides the basis for selection of the design for a 5 Mgd solar distillation plant. For plants constructed in the future, the continued escalation of fuel oil cost will make the cost of water from solar driven and oil driven distillers equal within 15 years [4].
Capturing Crime in the Antipodes: Colonist Cultural Representation of Indigeneity
This chapter adopts a Southern criminological lens, which allows the authors to explore how colonialism has been constructed and depicted in museums within both regional and urban Australia. By studying spatial and historical silences in Australian museums, this chapter offers a consistent frame to chronologically chart Anglo-Australian depictions of Indigeneity, imperialism and violence wielded by the state. As this chapter will argue, museums can often reflect Westernized (white) conceptualizations about Indigeneity and the state violence involved in colonization, which actively re-enforces popular views and influences sociopolitical visions of identity, the state and justice.
