Toward the Theoretical Constructs of East Asian Cultural Psychology

The core values of traditional Chinese Confucian culture such as “five virtues”, “five cardinal relationships”, and the thought of “golden mean” exert significant influence on East Asian culture, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. In recent years, with the rapid development of the studies of cultural psychology in East Asian cultural circles, it is necessary to conduct the theoretical constructs to integrate the common psychological characteristics in East Asian cultural circle. The theoretical constructs of East Asian Cultural Psychology regard the impacts of traditional Confucian culture on East Asian culture and the individual as its core, and focus on self-construal, self-esteem, self-enhancement, collectivism, the differences of relationship and class, and the thinking of “golden mean” among the East Asians as the key constructs of the theoretical framework

3-Phenyl-2-(prop-2-yn­yloxy)-1-benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

In the title compound, C19H12N2O3, the 1-benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidinone unit is approximately planar, the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.045 (1) Å. The attached phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 86.73 (6)° with the fused ring system. The packing of the mol­ecules in the crystal structure is mainly governed by C—H⋯π hydrogen-bonding inter­actions

The 1:1 cocrystal of rac-7-oxabicyclo­[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and 2-amino­benzothia­zole

In the crystal structure of the title compound, rac-7-oxabicyclo­[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid–2-amino­benzo­thia­zole (1/1), C8H10O5·C7H6N2S, mol­ecules of each component are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are connected by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a chain along the b axis. In addition, π–π inter­actions between aromatic heterocycles occur [centroid–centroid distance of 3.4709 Å and inter­planar spacing of 3.4374 Å between symmetry-related benzothia­zole ring systems

Local breaking of four-fold rotational symmetry by short-range magnetic order in heavily overdoped Ba(Fe1−x_{1-x}Cux_{x})2_{2}As2_{2}

We investigate Cu-doped Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Cu$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ with transport, magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ is suppressed, Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Cu$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ (0.145 $\leq x \leq$ 0.553) samples exhibit spin-glass-like behavior in magnetic susceptibility and insulating-like temperature dependence in electrical transport. Using elastic neutron scattering, we find stripe-type short-range magnetic order in the spin-glass region identified by susceptibility measurements. The persistence of short-range magnetic order over a large doping range in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Cu$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ likely arises from local arrangements of Fe and Cu that favor magnetic order, with Cu acting as vacancies relieving magnetic frustration and degeneracy. These results indicate locally broken four-fold rotational symmetry, suggesting that stripe-type magnetism is ubiquitous in iron pnictides.Comment: accepted by Physical Review B Rapid Communication
