How Does the “Zero Waste” Vision Promote Enterprise Innovation? Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment
type: item
description: Against the strategic backdrop of the “dual carbon” goal and ecological civilization construction, China's “Zero-Waste City” pilot policy represents a key institutional innovation for advancing solid waste reduction and recycling. This paper empirically examines its microeconomic effects on corporate green innovation by adopting a difference-in-differences (DID) approach, with Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed firms from 2015 to 2021 as the sample.The results show that the policy significantly boosts green innovation among enterprises in pilot cities, and this conclusion holds after robustness checks. Mechanism analysis reveals that R&D personnel input plays a partial mediating role, while public environmental concern has no significant mediating effect. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the policy-driven green innovation effect is concentrated in eastern-region and large-scale enterprises, rather than central-western and small- and medium-sized enterprises.This study enriches research on the microeconomic impacts of environmental regulation and provides empirical support for the nationwide implementation and optimization of the “Zero-Waste City” policy.

Corpus-Assisted Discourse Study of How Chinese and Foreign Media Construct China’s Digital Trade Opening-up
type: item
description: This study employs corpus-assisted discourse analysis to examine how China’s digital trade opening-up is reported by one Chinese and three major Western English-language newspapers from 2023 to 2025. Taking Sinclair's five types of co-selection theory as the core framework, the findings show that while Chinese and Western media share a basic consensus in recognizing digital trade as a key arena of global competition, their discursive constructions differ markedly. This paper contributes to digital trade discourse studies by systematically mapping these contrasting media narratives, thereby enhancing understanding of China’s digital governance in global contexts.

Comparison of Elderly Care Models between China and the United States and the Development Path of China's Silver Economy
type: item
description: This paper discusses the inherent differences in the elderly care systems for older adults in China and the United States, based on how each country structures its pension system, cultural values, and service models. It points out that the existing elderly care mode in China has problems including the unbalanced development of a multi-level security system and an uneven allocation of resources between different areas and between urban and rural regions. To promote high-quality development of the Silver Economy in China, it is imperative to exert more effort at the level of system design, industrial extension, technology innovation, and active measures in the coming stage. In particular, drawing on cases such as the Hainan Free Trade Port, this article further explores the possibility that policy innovation and industrial integration may provide a new pattern for the high-quality and international development of the local elder care industry.

The Relationship between Governing the Country According to the Constitution and Governing the Party According to Its Rules
type: item
description: Governance in accordance with the Constitution, as the core of the rule of law in the state, and governance of the Party in accordance with its statutes, as the core of exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance, have each attracted a wealth of research; however, academic works specifically examining the relationship between the two are relatively scarce. A systematic analysis reveals that governance in accordance with the Constitution and governance of the Party in accordance with its statutes are highly consistent in terms of content, values, objectives, internal norms and historical continuity: in terms of content, they are mutually supportive, with the Constitution affirming the Party’s leading role and the Party Constitution stipulating the requirement to abide by the Constitution and laws; in terms of values, they share a common pursuit of fairness, justice and the rule of law; in terms of objectives, they are unified by the modernisation of national governance; in terms of norms, they respectively constitute the foundations of the national and intra-Party regulatory systems; and in terms of historical continuity, both stem from the Party’s long-standing practice of leading the development of the rule of law. Clarifying the relationship between the two will help to build a legal system with Chinese characteristics and advance the realisation of the grand goal of modernising the national governance system and governance capacity.

The Formation of Electronic Contracts in Chinese E-Commerce: Electronic Offers, Electronic Acceptances, and Procedural Regulation
type: item
description: Electronic contracts have become a common form of contract formation in e-commerce transactions, but their electronic and platform-based nature has made the distinction between offers and acceptances more complex. This article focuses on the formation of electronic contracts in Chinese e-commerce, with electronic offers and electronic acceptances as the main line of analysis. Under the framework of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China, the E-Commerce Law of the People’s Republic of China, and the Electronic Signature Law of the People’s Republic of China, it examines the legal nature of product page information, the effect of order submission, the role of payment, and the regulation of standard terms. It argues that electronic contract formation should be assessed within the overall transaction process rather than by isolated procedural steps. On this basis, the article proposes to refine the rules on webpage information, clarify the consequences of order submission, restrict the abuse of standard terms, and strengthen platform governance, so as to balance transaction efficiency, consumer reliance, and the legitimate interests of e-commerce operators.

Research on Spatial Integration Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Facilities in Future Communities under the Background of Low-Altitude Economy
type: item
description: The rapid development of the low-altitude economy and the construction of future communities have created an urgent need for the spatial integration of drone facilities and residential buildings. Existing research mainly focuses on airspace management, industrial economics, and technical engineering, while research on the spatial integration of drone landing facilities from the perspective of architecture and urban planning is still lacking. This study proposes the concept of "vertical logistics interface" and constructs a typological framework of "building-drone" interface types such as rooftop, facade, and balcony. Based on the four-dimensional coupling analysis of "drone type-facility-population-policy", it establishes six design principles: technology adaptability, population friendliness, structural safety, spatial embedding, dual-use (normal and emergency), and intelligent interconnection. It proposes a "2+N" distributed network strategy to address the pain points of existing public take-off and landing fields, such as end-point gaps, land occupation, and functional isolation. Taking Hangzhou Yuncheng Hangteng Future Community as an example, the spatial integration design of two rooftop integrated hubs and N building micro-platforms was completed. The pioneering use of balcony retractable landing panels to achieve direct drone delivery indoors was achieved, constructing a three-dimensional integrated logistics network of "underground-ground-low altitude", providing a reference design idea for the construction of future communities in pilot cities of the low-altitude economy.

From Service Design to Social Governance: Extending Design Thinking into Public Service
type: item
description: Design thinking is widely applied at various locations for problem-solving; it has gradually become a routine way of work among governments, NGOs and others to improve services or resolve complex social issues by means of orderly arrangement. Based on this paper, how Design Thinking is migrating from Service Design to Governance in general Social, What the Theoretical Foundation for such a transition Is and How it shapes Public Sector Practice through Human-centred approach. Based on international case studies and governance theories, the paper will identify the enabling Conditions and structural hindrances to this Process. Situate design thinking within the framework of participatory governance to explore its applicability in promoting reforms of the public sector across different nations. Based on the above analysis, Design Thinking provides a reasonable Pathway for Citizen Engagement and Policy Iteration among multiple agencies; Its introduction to Governance is not as straightforward as it seems.

Enhancing Work Effectiveness of Highly Qualified Specialists: A Strategic Management Framework for Chinese Enterprises
type: item
description: Chinese enterprises face persistent challenges in motivating and retaining highly qualified specialists (HQS), whose contributions are critical for innovation and competitiveness in the knowledge economy. While prior research has identified key psychological determinants of HQS work effectiveness-work engagement, organizational identification, value identification, and emotional belonging-little guidance exists on how organizations can systematically translate these findings into actionable management strategies. This paper addresses this gap by developing a comprehensive strategic management framework for enhancing HQS work effectiveness. Drawing on empirical findings from a large-sample survey of 562 HQS in Chinese enterprises and integrating established theories of motivation, social identity, and organizational behavior, the framework comprises four interconnected strategic pillars: (1) increasing work commitment through job design, autonomy, and challenge; (2) strengthening emotional belonging through organizational support, respect, and team cohesion; (3) enhancing organizational identification through fair systems, career development, and social status; and (4) cultivating value identification through authentic culture, value congruence, and ethical leadership. For each pillar, specific, actionable strategies are proposed, supported by empirical evidence from the current study. The framework recognizes the synergistic interrelationships among the four pillars and advocates for integrated rather than siloed interventions. This paper contributes a theory-driven, empirically grounded, and practically operational roadmap for Chinese enterprises seeking to optimize HQS performance, reduce turnover, and build sustainable competitive advantage in the global knowledge economy.

Multi-Subject Collaborative Mechanism for Grassroots Public Safety Governance: A Case Study of the “2·18” Fireworks Explosion Accident in Xiangyang
type: item
description: Grassroots public safety governance is a fundamental part of the modernization of national governance. The “2·18” fireworks and firecracker explosion accident in Xiangyang, Hubei Province in 2026 caused heavy casualties, exposing a systemic failure of community safety defenses. Drawing on collaborative governance theory, this paper constructs a three‑dimensional analytical framework of “actor - authority - interaction” to dissect the mechanisms of multi‑actor collaborative failure in the accident. The study finds that business entities have shifted from safety guardians to risk sources, with profit‑seeking behavior and a fluke mentality leading to institutional dysfunction. The administrative system is characterized by fragmented powers and responsibilities, where formalistic supervision fails to address substantive risks. The interaction among multiple actors is disconnected, and information silos together with misaligned incentives result in a “core‑periphery” differential structure of the collaborative network. Accordingly, this paper proposes a three‑in‑one optimization path: clarifying the list of powers and responsibilities, enabling collaboration through technology, and building a governance model based on common participation, shared responsibility, and collective benefits, so as to promote the transformation of grassroots safety governance from fragmentation to holistic collaboration.

Procuratorial Transparency: Legal Basis, Institutional Evolution, and the Practice of Chinese Procuratorial Reform
type: item
description: The legal basis of procuratorial transparency stems from the principle of popular sovereignty and the right to freedom of speech under China's Constitution, corresponding to the right to know and the right to access information under international covenants. It serves as the core system for safeguarding citizen supervision and regulating the operation of procuratorial power. China's procuratorial transparency was officially initiated in 1998 and has undergone multiple rounds of regulatory improvements, gradually forming an institutional system centered on the disclosure of case information, with synergy between online and offline platforms. In 2014, a nationwide unified case information disclosure network was established. In 2021, the scope of disclosure was further expanded to achieve full coverage of the "four major prosecutorial functions," with enhanced privacy protection and data release. In practice, procuratorial transparency has achieved remarkable results in enhancing judicial transparency, protecting the rights of parties involved, and facilitating social oversight. At the same time, current challenges remain, including a relatively narrow scope and format of disclosure, as well as the absence of a right to remedy mechanism. In the future, China should adhere to the principle of "disclosure as the rule, non-disclosure as the exception," adopt an exception-list legislative model, maximize the disclosure of law enforcement and case-handling information, improve the right to remedy channels, and build a more standardized, efficient, and transparent procuratorial transparency system with Chinese characteristics.

Impact of Piano Training on Physical, Cognitive Health, and Quality of Life of Older Adults at Changzhou Senior University Piano Teaching and Research Center: Intervention Program
type: item
description: Piano training stimulates different cognitive functions, which is not only beneficial to brain plasticity and used by the elderly to compensate for age-related declines in executive function, but also beneficial to improving their quality of life in old age. This study analyzes the impact of piano training on the behavioral performance of the elderly through three indicators: processing speed, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Through interviews, it also analyzes the promotion of piano training on the quality of life of the elderly and its impact on their physical function and cognitive health. The study finds that piano training can effectively improve the inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility of the elderly, thereby promoting executive function plasticity and delaying age-related declines in executive function. At the same time, piano training can enrich the retirement life of the elderly and enhance their quality of life.

Abuse of Algorithmic Rights: The Boundary of Criminal Liability for AI Manipulation in the Securities Market
type: item
description: With the deepening application of AI in securities markets, the issue of abuse of power in algorithmic trading has become prominent, posing a threat to market fairness and investor rights. This paper focuses on the challenges in identifying criminal liability for algorithmic market manipulation and explores the scope of liability for AI decision-making entities under the current legal framework. Existing research primarily revolves around algorithmic transparency, determination of subjective intent, and assessment of market impact, but a consensus has not yet been formed regarding liability attribution for autonomous algorithmic decision-making. The "black box" nature of intelligent algorithms challenges the determination of traditional criminal law subjective elements, while novel manipulation methods expose regulatory lags. Significant differences in management across jurisdictions reflect conflicts between technological ethics and legal values. Current research lacks targeted liability theories, suffers from insufficient interdisciplinary integration, and has a scarcity of empirical samples. The future requires the construction of a criminal liability framework adapted to the characteristics of algorithms, improving diversified regulatory models, providing legal theoretical support for balancing technological innovation and market order, and contributing to the improvement of China's securities market regulatory system.

Digital Leviathan: Digital Convenience and Digital Domination in the Information Age
type: item
description: Big data technology is a pivotal scientific and technological achievement of the information age. Its integration with state political power and market capital has given shape to the digital Leviathan. From the theoretical perspective of dialectics of nature, this paper argues that big data technology has driven a paradigm shift in humanity’s understanding of the world, fostering acceptance of the ambiguity of data and emphasis on the correlations between data. Meanwhile, big data technology has enhanced humanity’s ability to transform the world, empowering traditional government governance and market industries, and driving improvements in governance efficiency and productivity through technological innovation. However, big data technology has undergone alienation while empowering political power and market capital, forming the digital Leviathan. Through the coercive power of state authority and the developmental momentum of the market economy, it has become an instrument of domination over humanity, resulting in infringements on the rights of individual members of society.

Embedded Absorption: The Institutionalization Logic of Urban Community Governance Communities
type: item
description: The institutionalization of urban community governance communities is key to unlocking fragmented grassroots governance and activating residents' endogenous motivation for participation. While there has been ample policy discourse and diverse practices concerning the construction of urban community governance communities, the internal “institutionalization” mechanism remains a theoretical “black box” that has yet to be fully unpacked. This study argues that “embedded absorption” effectively addresses challenges such as fragmented actors, structural rigidity, and unsustainable actions in community governance through mutual shaping and coordination across three dimensions: actors, structures, and actions. The research reveals that the essence of governance communities lies in the reproduction of social relations, and their institutionalization pathway illustrates a form of creative integration between the state and society within the field of grassroots governance.

Research on the Internal Mechanism and Practical Path of Enterprise Talent Policy Innovation from the Perspective of Human Capital Governance
type: item
description: In the context of the knowledge economy, talent is the most important asset of enterprises. In this situation, traditional methods of managing talent are difficult to fully utilize the advantages of human capital. How to effectively innovate talent policies in enterprises is a problem from management to governance. Therefore, this article will analyze the relevant issues of talent policy innovation in enterprises from the perspective of human capital governance. This study indicates that human capital governance emphasizes the property rights attributes, incentive compatibility, risk sharing, and value co creation of human capital as the logical starting point for talent policy innovation. Based on this, enterprise talent policy innovation plays the role of three internal mechanisms: the equity allocation mechanism of property rights incentives, the collaborative empowerment mechanism of value co creation, and the psychological contract mechanism of relationship contracts. Specifically, in practice, enterprises should take top-level design, institutional design, cultural construction, and technological support as the methodological basis for effectively carrying out talent policy innovation, and develop a series of talent policy innovation plans based on this. The article has enlightening significance for grasping the basic principles of innovation in enterprise talent policies and has reference value for enterprises to improve their talent management mechanisms.

title: Research on the Controversy and Optimization Path of Rent Pricing Mechanism for Public Rental Housing: A Policy Analysis based on the Background of Concentrated Market Entry in Multiple Regions in 2025
description: With the continuous advancement of urbanization in China, the housing pressure on new urban residents and young people has become prominent. The supply of public rental housing has entered a concentrated phase, and the rental pricing mechanism has sparked debates on fairness and sustainability. This paper focuses on the core issue: how to ensure the affordability of tenants while achieving sustainable operation of the project and addressing the conflicts of interests among multiple stakeholders. By using the methods of literature analysis and policy text comparison, and combining social justice, welfare pluralism and ecosystem theory to construct a three-dimensional analytical framework, this paper analyzes the structural contradictions in the current pricing mechanism. The research finds that rental governance needs to go beyond the administrative price limit thinking, establish a dynamic model of "benchmark rent + floating coefficient", promote the collaborative governance of the government, market, society and tenants, and introduce social workers to participate in demand assessment, rights advocacy and community mediation to enhance the inclusiveness and resilience of the system. The limitation lies in the lack of support from field interview data. In the future, qualitative research can be deepened by combining the practice of front-line social workers.

From Physical Health Preservation to Cultural Identity: The Dissemination and Construction of Cross-cultural Body Practices in the "Chinese Medicine Fever" on the Internet
type: item
description: As a vivid carrier of excellent traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine carries the Eastern wisdom of "unity of heaven and man", "dialectical treatment", and "prevention of disease". Its dissemination essence is a cross-cultural dialogue with the body as the medium and health preservation as the starting point. In recent years, the "Chinese medicine craze" on the extranet has continued to rise. Chinese medicine physical practices such as acupuncture and moxibustion, moxibustion, Chinese medicine conditioning, meridian massage, and dietotherapy regimen have gradually extended from the initial demand for "curing diseases and curing diseases" to an important path for overseas people to perceive Chinese medicine culture and identify with Chinese culture. This article is based on the core theory of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with typical cases of traditional Chinese medicine dissemination on the internet, to explore the dissemination path of traditional Chinese medicine body practice in cross-cultural contexts, analyze how body experience is transformed into cultural identity, reveal the role of traditional Chinese medicine body practice in constructing excellent traditional Chinese culture in cross-cultural dissemination, highlight the core concept and contemporary value of traditional Chinese medicine "people-oriented" and "conforming to nature", and provide a reflection on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine charm and practical significance for the overseas dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

The Dilemmas and Improvement Paths of Civil Protection of Personal Information in the Context of Data and Platform Compliance
type: item
description: From the perspective of data compliance and platform governance, this paper adopts empirical research and normative analysis to conduct a systematic study on the civil protection of personal information in China. An examination of current institutional practices reveals prominent dilemmas in key areas such as legislative coordination, judicial application, platform liability enforcement, and individual rights remedies. These dilemmas mainly include insufficient adaptability of legal rules, unbalanced allocation of the burden of proof, ineffective implementation of platform compliance, and high costs for individual rights relief. Based on China’s existing legal framework and judicial practice, this paper proposes a systematic improvement path for the civil protection of personal information from five aspects: refining legislation, unifying adjudication standards, improving platform internal control mechanisms, optimizing remedy channels, and establishing a multi-stakeholder collaborative regulatory system. This can provide practical reference for the protection of personal information civil rights and the standardized operation of platforms. This article only focuses on the analysis of civil remedies and does not delve into the mechanism of civil execution connection. The empirical materials mainly consist of public judgments made by some courts, which restricts the research scope to a certain extent. In the future, we can combine new application scenarios such as algorithm recommendation and cross-border data transmission to further improve the rules for civil compensation and liability determination, promote the collaborative efforts of multiple governance mechanisms, and achieve a dynamic balance between personal information protection and platform compliance in the context of sustainable development of the digital economy.

Making Technology More Intelligent: Seeking the "Local Characteristics" of Digital Rural Governance
type: item
description: Digital rural governance is the cornerstone of modernizing national governance, therefore exploring digital rural governance has become an important topic. The "locality" of digital countryside refers to the need to pay attention to the uniqueness of rural society, and to break through a single operating mode in the interaction between modern and traditional. As an efficient governance tool, digital technology can help rural development, but it cannot be limited to universal linear processes. It should be embedded in the natural environment, social status, and core needs of rural areas, and closely integrate technology with the characteristics and practices of rural areas. Only then can technology truly empower rural areas. On the premise of respecting the development laws of different types of rural areas, a basic path for the "locality" of digital rural areas is constructed through typical cases to promote the modernization process of digital rural governance.

Strategies and Case Analysis of Interpersonal Issues in Group Therapy for Gaming Disorders
type: item
description: With the formal inclusion of gaming disorders in the diagnosis of mental disorders, group therapy, as one of its core interventions, should focus on dealing with accompanying interpersonal issues while improving impulse control and cognitive bias in patients, which is also the core manifestation of impaired social function in patients with gaming disorders, and the key factor affecting the prognosis of treatment. Combined with the clinical characteristics of gaming disorders, this paper combs the common types of interpersonal issues in group therapy, constructs a three-stage processing strategy of "prevention intervention consolidation", combines three real cases of different ages and different types of interpersonal distress, and analyzes the practical process and adjustment points of the strategy in detail, so as to provide practical reference for clinical psychologists to carry out group therapy of gaming disorders, help patients rebuild healthy interpersonal connections and reduce the risk of reignition.

The Paradox of Policing and Security in a Globalised Context: Policing Dissent in Kashmir
type: item
description: Public order policing occupies a contested position within contemporary policing practices, often oscillating between the demands of maintaining public security and protecting civil liberties. This research examines the dynamics of public order policing through the case of Kashmir following the revocation of Article 370 in 2019. It focuses on two key policing strategies employed in response to widespread protests: the escalation of force against demonstrators and the prolonged shutdown of internet and media communications. Drawing on securitization theory and James Der Derian’s concept of “virtuous war,” the article argues that globalization contributes to the construction of a security discourse that legitimizes expanded police powers. Through the process of securitization, political dissent in Kashmir was reframed as a national security threat, thereby justifying exceptional policing measures. At the same time, the implementation of internet shutdowns reflects an attempt to contain the global circulation of information and limit transnational engagement with local protests. The case therefore illustrates the paradoxical relationship between globalization and policing: while global security discourse expands the scope of police authority, policing practices may simultaneously seek to restrict global information flows in the name of security.

The Ghost in the Machine: Automation Anxiety and the Crisis of Human Subjectivity in Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano
type: item
description: Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano (1952) interrogates an ontological crisis where technocratic systems equate human value with functional efficiency. This study analyzes how total automation supplants both manual and cognitive labor, precipitating a survival redundancy characterized by the disappearance of meaningful work and the paradox of enforced leisure. By examining the erosion of human subjectivity through post-industrial labor theory and existential philosophy, the article demonstrates that the failure of the Ghost Shirt Rebellion reveals the deep internalization of efficiency-oriented logic. Ultimately, the novel gestures toward an alternative ethical framework grounded in non-utilitarian relationality and human imperfection, providing a foundational critique for the contemporary era of algorithmic governance.

From Dust to the Margins: An Analysis of the Rights Protection Dilemma for Pneumoconiosis Patients
type: item
description: As one of the largest groups of occupational disease sufferers in China, pneumoconiosis patients endure not only the physical agony of respiratory distress but also persistent social pressures, including those arising from the rights defense process itself. This study focuses on the challenges these patients face in asserting their rights, examines the underlying causes, and explores potential remedial measures. Through field investigations, interview-based research, and sustained literature review, it offers an in-depth portrayal of the difficulties and obstacles encountered in their pursuit of justice. The analysis delves into contributing factors at multiple levels-including the workers themselves, government bodies, liable enterprises, and broader social status and social status and public awareness. Building on this analysis, the paper puts forward constructive recommendations tailored to the identified causes, proposing future solutions aimed at transforming the roles of workers, corporations, and other stakeholders. Its purpose is twofold: to expose the realities of this social issue and to offer rationally grounded strategies that may help affected families overcome their current plight and pressures, regain normalcy in life, and provide an academic reference for future support work by advocates or charitable organizations assisting pneumoconiosis patients.

Spatial-Temporal Patterns and Influencing Factors of Epidemics in Gansu Province During the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911)
type: item
description: Understanding the historical dynamics of epidemics is crucial for addressing contemporary global health threats under climate change and globalization. However, most existing studies on historical epidemics in China have focused on eastern coastal regions, while northwestern areas like Gansu-a critical ecological transition zone-remain understudied. Furthermore, comprehensive analyses integrating both natural and social environmental drivers are lacking. To address this research gap, this study investigates the spatial-temporal distribution patterns and influencing factors of plague epidemics in Gansu Province during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) using historical records, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and geographic detectors. Results reveal that plague frequency peaked during the Tongzhi era (1863–1874), with epidemic coverage and affected counties reaching maxima in 1724 and 1769, respectively, predominantly occurring in summer and autumn. Spatially, plague spread evolved from fragmented distributions in the early period to increasingly clustered and contiguous patterns in central and eastern Gansu. The epidemics were driven by the interplay of natural and social factors, with the interaction between transportation route length and elevation exhibiting the strongest synergistic effect. These findings provide historical insights for understanding regional epidemic dynamics and inform contemporary public health strategies in ecologically vulnerable regions.

Inclusive vs. Extractive Institutions in Urban Transformation: A Comparative Case Study of Hong Kong and Detroit
type: item
description: Urban centers worldwide are increasingly exposed to the twin pressures of globalization and industrial restructuring, yet their capacity to adapt varies sharply. This paper investigates the institutional determinants of divergent urban trajectories through a comparative case study of Hong Kong and Detroit. Building on Acemoglu and Robinson’s framework of inclusive versus extractive institutions, complemented by North’s theory of path dependence, we argue that institutional quality constitutes a decisive factor in shaping economic resilience at the city level. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we integrate descriptive statistics (1980–2020), policy document analysis, and process tracing of critical junctures. The findings reveal that Hong Kong’s inclusive institutions-anchored in the rule of law, market openness, and adaptive governance-enabled structural diversification from manufacturing to high value–added services, and facilitated rapid recovery from external shocks such as the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. In contrast, Detroit’s extractive institutions-dominated by rent-seeking elites, rigid union structures, and policy inertia-reinforced industrial lock-in within the automobile sector, ultimately precipitating fiscal collapse and municipal bankruptcy in 2013. This study contributes to comparative urbanism by demonstrating that national-level institutional theories are analytically powerful at the urban scale. Policy implications underscore the necessity of dismantling vested interests, embedding adaptive governance, and creating transformation funds for declining industrial cities. For emerging economies, the lessons highlight the urgency of institutional reform to prevent “Detroitization” and foster sustainable, innovation-driven growth.

Building Futures: Advocating for Enhanced Mental Health Accessibility in Diverse Communities
type: item
description: Mental health accessibility is a critical public policy issue that affects individuals across diverse social contexts, including educational settings, prenatal care, disability services, and rural healthcare systems. This essay examines the systemic barriers that limit access to mental health services, such as socioeconomic inequality, racial discrimination, geographic constraints, and shortages of mental health professionals. Drawing on existing literature, the paper analyzes how these barriers manifest in four specific contexts: school-based mental health support for students with disabilities, prenatal mental health care for Black women, access to coordinated care for youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and pediatric mental health services in rural areas. Through a rhetorical and policy-oriented analysis, the essay highlights the limitations of current mental healthcare models and emphasizes the need for integrated, preventive, and inclusive approaches. By synthesizing evidence across these contexts, the paper argues that mental health accessibility requires systemic reform rather than isolated, setting-specific solutions, and calls for policymakers and institutions to prioritize equitable and universal access to mental health services.

The Moral Cultivation Mechanism in International Student Management from the Perspective of Cultural Identity
type: item
description: With the continuous development of internationalization in universities, more and more foreign students are coming to China to study and playing an increasingly important role in their university life. How to provide correct moral education and cultivate good habits for international students is also an important component of ideological and political education for college students. The article focuses on cultural identity and systematically elaborates on the role of moral education in the management of international students, as well as the existing problems and countermeasures.The author proposes that cultural identity is the process by which people recognize, accept, and internalize a certain culture; There is an inherent consistency and unity between it and moral development, which has a positive impact on the formation of values, the selection of norms, and self positioning. In reality, the moral development of international students from various countries has encountered problems such as cultural differences, discomfort in educational methods, difficulties in adapting to schools, and cultural barriers in management mechanisms. Therefore, how to solve the above problems has become the focus of our thinking. Therefore, the author believes that we should carry out virtue education work from the perspective of enhancing cultural identity. Specifically, we can start from the following aspects: attaching importance to value discussions based on cultural understanding; Emphasize cross-cultural curriculum and activity design; Emphasize the reconstruction of school culture construction; Emphasize the infiltration of virtue education in management and service. Its purpose is to break through the one-dimensional constraints of behavioral training, allowing international students to naturally integrate value concepts and internalize them into virtues and qualities in the process of cross-cultural adaptation based on multicultural cognition, tolerance, and identification, …

Legal Liability for Data Falsification by Third-Party Environmental Service Providers: A Study Centered on Data-Chain Governance and the Reconstruction of Causation
type: item
description: This is because third-party environmental service providers undertake environmental monitoring, environmental impact assessment (EIA), automatic monitoring operation and maintenance, vehicle emission testing, and carbon-emission verification. Practically, however, the falsification of data does not always occur in the form of a simple report, which would be considered outright false. It is disseminated over sampling, analysis, transmission, signing and other nodes, and it comes in the nature of chain and technical forms. Current law already has administrative, civil, and criminal layers of liability, but each layer runs into difficulty in use. Administrative penalties do not easily pierce affiliation and re-entrustment structures. In criminal cases, chain-like division of labor weakens proof of intent. Civil joint liability under Article 65 of the Environmental Protection Law has for a long time been constrained by the difficulty of proving causation. Using typical criminal and administrative cases released in 2023 and 2024, and empirical studies in air monitoring, water monitoring, and carbon-emission reporting, this article focuses on the causation problem in the application of Article 65. The article argues that Chinese law does not need a new concept of causation here. Within the existing framework of adequate causation, different presumptions should be set for different kinds of third-party services, namely continuous discharge-monitoring operation and maintenance, one-time testing and certification, and EIA and carbon-emission verification. This should be supported by statutory duties to keep audit logs and by adverse-inference rules when such logs are missing.

Visual Order and the Creation of Artistic Ambience in Realistic Composition of Ink-and-Wash Figure Painting
type: item
description: Since the introduction of realistic modeling concepts into ink-wash figure painting, the composition of these works has undergone a profound restructuring of visual order. From a formal analysis perspective, this paper explores how realistic composition seeks a balance between traditional Chinese compositional principles and Western concepts of realistic space, and further analyzes how this restructuring of visual order influences the generation and transformation of the work’s artistic atmosphere. The study argues that the realistic composition in contemporary ink-wash figure painting has formed a unique logic of “form-structure-meaning”-establishing a rational visual order through focal perspective, proportional relationships, and spatial layers, while simultaneously creating a poetic, atmospheric space through traditional techniques such as negative space, the interplay of solid and void, and variations in density. This fusion of dual structures enables realistic figure painting to transcend the limitations of objective representation, achieving an aesthetic realm where the “visible” and the “sensible” are unified.
