An Outline History of East Asia to 1200
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

This is the second edition of the open access textbook that arose out of a course at the University of California, San Diego, called HILD 10: East Asia: The Great Tradition. The course covers what have become two Chinas, Japan, and two Koreas from roughly 1200 BC to about AD 1200. As we say every Fall in HILD 10: “2400 years, three countries, ten weeks, no problem.” The book does not stand alone: the teacher should assign primary and secondary sources, study questions, dates to be memorized, etc. The maps mostly use the same template to enable students to compare them one to the next.

The 1st edition is in the supplemental material tab.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Climate change stands to have a tremendous impact on the world’s freshwater ecosystems. To understand how, researchers analyzed 15,289 functional genes related to nutrient cycling and stress processes gathered from biofilm microbes across mountainside streams in Norway, Spain, and China. With increasing elevation, microbial functional diversity tended to decline, and the composition of functional gene assemblages tended to differ more with greater elevational distances. These variations were more drastic as the environmental differences between the lowlands and the peaks increased. The best predictors of these variations appear to be climatic factors, such as temperature during the growing season. and winter precipitation. Including predictors at the local or landscape level could further refine the picture painted by these findings and help Eurasian countries anticipate significant alterations to their stream ecosystems amid a changing climate..."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem. By the year 2050, more than 10 million people are expected to die from resistant infections. How are researchers tackling that problem? One team is looking at the gut bacteria found in migratory birds. Migratory birds acquire and spread antibacterial resistance genes from their environment with the gut microbiome, serving as a reservoir for these insidious genes. To understand the role of the gut microbiome, researchers gathered fecal samples from migratory birds and their favorite landing spots in China. Genetic analysis revealed 1030 distinct genes conferring resistance to antibiotics including tetracycline, aminoglycoside, β-lactam, and sulfonamide. While the microbes detected in the guts of birds were less diverse than those found in their surroundings, birds carried a greater number of antibiotic resistance genes..."

Real world test of basal insulin to control type-2 diabetes in China

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Nearly 12% of adults in China have type-2 diabetes, and fewer than half of them have it well-managed. That makes them good candidates for insulin therapy, especially a type known as basal insulin, which uses long- or intermediate-acting insulin to keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. But it hasn’t been clear how useful that treatment is under real-world conditions. Now, a recently completed observational trial in China finds that the therapy successfully lowers blood sugar, although dosing challenges remain. Researchers recruited nearly 20,000 patients from across China who had been on oral diabetes medications, and were willing to try basal insulin to better control their disease. Because the team wanted to see how well the therapy could work in a realistic setting, each patient worked with his or her own doctor to come up with a personalized plan. Participants were then followed-up at three and six months..."
