On Democracy and the Republic

Abstract: In the modern political context, the terms democracy and republic are often regarded as synonyms and even confused. The apparent synonymity conceals the profound differences and rich connotations between the two in the history of political thought, so that the cognitive discussion of the relationship between democracy and republic has not yet reached a general consensus, although many views have been formed since the modern West. Through the examination of the terminological origin of democracy and republicanism and the temporal sorting of the relationship between the two, the study finds that, firstly, there exists a developmental logic of the relationship between democracy and republicanism in the spatial and temporal dimensions. In fact, the relationship between democracy and republicanism is complex and dynamic, full of historical processes of mutual influence and integration. Secondly, in the modern sense, democracy and republic are not in themselves one-dimensional concepts. The essence of republic is the structural state of power configuration, while the essence of democracy is the operational state of power utilization. It is precisely because the two are in different dimensions that the combination of power configuration and power operation makes the two inevitably intersect and become related. Read More

Research on the Path of Criminal Law Regulation for the Protection of Data Legal Interests

Abstract: In the face of the emerging new types of crimes in the digital economy era, criminal law, as a fallback link in the legal regulatory system, should respond accordingly. Therefore, the weakening of the principle of legality of crimes and punishments brought about by the operation of the digital economy should not be understood as an absolute negative value, and should be re examined in conjunction with the logic of digital economy operation. At present, the regulation of data itself in China's criminal law is still limited to the carrier and material entity of data - traditional computer information systems. The recognition of data legal interests still remains at the level of the actual legal interests reflected behind the data (such as property and personality legal interests). In the current situation where various legal interests may be reflected in the data, it is necessary to strengthen the overall attention to the data itself and promote targeted legislation for the protection of data legal interests. Only then can the digital economy achieve significant and healthy development under the protection of the "last line of defense" criminal law, while also being more in line with the concept of "strict but not severe" criminal law.

Media Frame and Audience Cognitive Bias: Assessing News Effectiveness from a Social Psychological Perspective

Abstract: As an important channel of information dissemination, news media plays a key role in shaping public cognition and guiding public opinion. Media frame theory points out that news reports do not reflect reality objectively and neutrally, but construct reality by selecting, emphasizing and excluding specific information. This construction process not only affects the audience's understanding of the event, but can also lead to cognitive bias. Cognitive bias refers to the distortion or misunderstanding of reality caused by many factors such as prior knowledge, emotional tendency and social norms when individuals process information. From the perspective of social psychology, this paper explores how the media framework affects the audience's cognitive bias, and analyzes the psychological mechanisms behind it, such as confirmation bias, stereotype, emotional bias and social identity bias. By assessing the effect of news, this paper aims to reveal the complex relationship between the media framework and the audience's cognitive bias, and propose strategies to reduce the cognitive bias and improve the public media literacy, so as to help the audience understand and evaluate news events more objectively and comprehensively, and promote the healthy development of the information society.

Research on China's Digital Divide and its Bridging

Abstract: To address the adverse impacts of the digital divide on social inequality and economic development, this study delves deeply into the causes and effects of the digital divide, particularly as manifested between the eastern and western regions of China, aiming to propose effective mitigation strategies. Employing a longitudinal data analysis approach, combined with four decades of tracking data, the study quantitatively compares the disparities in digital technology penetration, educational attainment, and economic growth between the east and west. Qualitative analysis complements this, providing insights into the dynamic changes and underlying mechanisms of the digital divide. The findings reveal that the digital divide is significantly present across regions, closely linked to educational disparities and constraints on economic growth potential. Innovative strategies, such as tailored digital education initiatives and infrastructure investment, have proven effective in promoting technological diffusion and narrowing the gap, offering more targeted and practical solutions compared to conventional one-size-fits-all approaches. This research not only deepens our understanding of the complexities of the digital divide but also provides a strategic framework that offers substantial theoretical support and practical guidance for policymakers. It holds significant theoretical and practical implications for advancing balanced regional development, fostering social equity, and facilitating digital transformation. Read More

Chinese Path to Modernization: An Analysis of the Similarities and Differences in the Modernization of World Civilizations

Abstract: Since the mid-18th century, when the West began its modernization, countries around the world have progressively engaged in their own modernization processes, influenced by this historical trend. After more than 250 years of exploration and adaptation, Western nations have largely completed their modernization. In contrast, many non-Western countries, hindered by colonial oppression and the disintegration of their existing economic structures, have hastily sought solutions by blindly adopting the Western development model, resulting in significant social unrest. This situation serves as a reminder for China that, in the process of modernization, it must carefully analyze specific challenges based on its own national conditions while drawing on both the successful and failed experiences of modernization from other countries. Consequently, China's path to modernization should embody the common characteristics of modernization shared by all nations while also reflecting the unique aspects of its own national context. The purpose of this study is to summarize the common features, as well as the respective advantages and disadvantages, of the modernization paths of the world's major civilized regions, with the aim of providing valuable insights for China's modernization journey. This paper will employ desk research methods to gather information from various media sources and analyze the Chinese path to modernization accordingly. Read More

The Yan'an Rectification Movement from the Perspective of Political Socialization Research

Abstract: Background The Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1941 to 1945 was the first rectification movement led by the Communist Party of China and is widely regarded as an extremely successful ideological education practice. Methods Revisiting the Yan'an Rectification Movement from the perspective of political socialization has significant theoretical and practical implications. This article begins by introducing an analytical framework for political socialization research, illustrating that the movement can be termed a political socialization activity in terms of both its objectives and methods. It then proceeds to analyze the approach of combining the mechanisms of indoctrination and internalization during this movement, and finally offers a brief evaluation of this practice. Conclusion The Yan'an Rectification Movement was the first intra-party rectification campaign initiated by the Communist Party of China. Firstly, from the perspective of political socialization research, the Yan'an Rectification Movement can be seen as a relatively successful practice of political socialization. Secondly, an unprecedented level of unity in terms of thought, politics and organization has been achieved. Meanwhile, internalization involves the transformation of thought within each individual person, which cannot be entirely enforced through subjective demands. Further attentions should be paid in the study of political culture and through the continuous re-examination to look for whether there exists a truly correct path to achieve political socialization.

Translating Metaphors from a Cognitive Perspective: The Case of "Flowers" in Poetry Imagery

Abstract: Imagery is an important element in poetry, the translation of which has traditionally been the main point and difficulty of poetry translation. With the development of cognitive linguistics, cognitive metaphor theory provides a new perspective to study the translation of poetic imagery.

Exploring the Power and Regulation of Platform Enterprises

Abstract: In the age of information civilization, digital platform enterprises are developing vigorously. At the same time, power is generated based on the algorithm.These information giants, based on their power to control data and privacy, exercise the power of punishment, and participate in the collection, distribution and maintenance of public resources and public interests. The nature of this kind of behavior is highly similar to that carried out by the administrative subject. At present, the regulation of platform enterprises is not perfect, which is mainly restricted through data method.But it is difficult to cover their participation in public services. The defining feature of administrative disputes lies in the public nature of the actions involved, rather than the identity of the actors. As private entities and their behaviors increasingly assume a public dimension in the information age, a shift in regulatory approaches is warranted. In the future, the scope of administrative litigation could be expanded to include platform enterprises that hold significant power, thereby providing a framework for regulation. Read More

Research on the Dissemination, Current Situation and Path of Intangible Cultural Heritage under the Background of Digitalization

Abstract: The evolution of digital communication modalities for China's intangible cultural heritage serves to broaden communication avenues and engage wider audiences, further unlocking the economic potential of the heritage industry. This progression is crucial for advancing the digitization of ICH during the 14th Five-Year Plan in China. Derived from the collective efforts of working individuals over extended periods of production and labor, each intangible culture possesses unique transmission traits. Representing an immaterial and irreplicable historical artifact, cultural memory, and the essence of the Chinese nation, its preservation and transmission are paramount for societal development. Given its profound regional character, the cultural significance and value of ICH are inherently evident. Amidst the mobile internet era, the digital preservation of this heritage has gained precedence, encompassing digital collection, storage, restoration, reproduction, exhibition, and dissemination. However, due to knowledge constraints and technological limitations, non-lineal inheritors face challenges in digitizing ICH. Read More

Does Increasing the Supply of International Public Goods Reduce the Risk of WTO Complaints Against Member States?

Abstract: Kindleberger’s "International Public Goods Theory" posits a positive correlation between a nation’s power and its provision of international public goods. However, existing research does not address whether the supply of international public goods can reduce the risk of being sued in the WTO. This paper, through empirical analysis, concludes that increasing the supply of international public goods can reduce the risk of WTO complaints against member states. Conversely, reducing the supply of international public goods increases the risk of being sued in the WTO. China can reduce its risk of being sued in the WTO by increasing the supply of international public goods and building a consensus on international economic order. Read More

Research on the Security and Defense Mechanism of Overseas Military Bases from the Dual Perspectives of “Hard Law and Soft Law”

Abstract: Legitimacy, legality and conceptual factors are vital variables that affect the security and defense mechanism of overseas military bases. Based on the resolutions of international military organizations and universal documents, international soft law coordinates the political conflicts of interests between the leasing countries of overseas military bases and the host countries, which can safeguard the “legitimacy” of overseas military bases. International hard law focuses on the “legality” of the security and defense mechanism of overseas military bases. In addition, legality requires that the acquisition and operation of overseas military bases not only comply with the constituent elements of modern international law, but also respect the domestic laws of the host country. The conceptual factor emphasizes the host country’s recognition of the base leasing country based on legitimacy and legality. Countries leasing overseas military bases need to coordinate the effectiveness of soft law and hard law based on actual conditions to build a security and defense mechanism for overseas military bases.

A Review of the Impact of Extreme Weather on Agricultural Economics

Abstract: This paper reviews the changes in weather extremes, the characteristics of their economic impact on agricultural yields and commonly used quantitative analysis methods. With global warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather such as extreme heat, drought, and rainfall has increased. Extreme dry heat mainly affects the growth cycle, flowering, and pollination stages of crops; and extreme precipitation mainly affects the oxygen supply to the root system of crops. Extreme events lead to volatility in food market prices through a variety of mechanisms, such as affecting agricultural production, altering the balance between supply and demand, triggering changes in market expectations and speculative behavior, and prompting government policy responses. Extreme weather events are considered external shocks and are incorporated into various economic models to quantitatively assess their economic impact. The models still suffer from uncertainty in model parameters due to data related to extreme weather and market prices. Read More

How is “Being Well-Matched in Social and Economic Status” Possible: A Study on Contemporary Youth’s Marital Choices from the Perspective of Family System Theory

Abstract: As society progresses, people’s perspectives gradually evolve. Nowadays, many believe that marriage is primarily a matter between young couples based on love, yet this does not signify the complete eradication of old-fashioned views from people’s consciousness, as they still influence contemporary marital choices. Families, as the fundamental unit of social organization, bear crucial responsibilities such as nurturing children’s growth. The language and behaviors of family members profoundly shape children’s thoughts and beliefs. Adhering to the theoretical frameworks of marital systems and the concept of “being well-matched in social and economic status”, this paper employs literature research and interviews to delve into the prevailing patterns of contemporary youth’s marital choices and various aspects of their post-marital lives. Consequently, regarding the ancient notion of “being well-matched in social and economic status”, this study analyzes the underlying logic and significance of contemporary youth’s marital “compatibility” from a family system perspective, drawing the following conclusions: The concept of “being well-matched in social and economic status” has undergone a certain degree of evolution, and young people are gradually understanding, accepting, and inheriting this ancient concept; furthermore, marital happiness, longevity, and stability are intimately tied to family structure, relationships, and functions within the broader family system.

Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Social Activity Participation on College Students' Online Game Addiction: Investigating the Behavioral Patterns and Psychological Motivations of Chinese College Students

Abstract: This study explored the impact of social activity participation on online game addiction among Chinese college students, aiming to fill the gap in existing research on the lack of attention paid to social activities. Through a questionnaire survey, relevant data from 500 college students were collected, and the impact of social activity type, frequency and duration on online game addiction was analyzed. The study found that students who frequently participated in social activities were less likely to become addicted to online games, especially those who participated in sports activities and community service, whose addiction level was significantly lower than that of students who participated in online social activities. Psychological motivations such as escapism, gaining a sense of accomplishment and satisfying social needs play an important mediating role between social activities and online game addiction. The results show that increasing participation in offline social activities can help reduce online game addiction. The empirical analysis of this article provides empirical evidence for colleges and education departments to formulate intervention measures. It is recommended to encourage college students to participate in various social activities, especially sports and community service activities, to promote their mental health and social skills, form healthy gaming habits and effective time management strategies. Future research should further explore the specific impact of different types of social activities and verify the actual effect of intervention measures. Read More

Chengdu High School Soft Volleyball Promotion Study

Abstract: Soft volleyball possesses rich technical and fitness values, is practical and economically safe, and is beneficial for the construction of campus sports culture. However, due to various constraints, its promotion within high school campuses is limited in scope and depth. This study analyzes the situation of soft volleyball promotion in a high school in Chengdu through questionnaires and observation methods. The survey results show that most students are willing to participate in soft volleyball, considering it both safe and conducive to social interaction and stress relief; however, some students have had little exposure to soft volleyball and even regard it as a waste of time. Although there are advantages to promoting soft volleyball, there are also certain limitations, requiring improvements in promotional methods. Despite the favorable conditions for promotion, there are also challenges. The conclusions suggest: 1. Incorporating soft volleyball into physical education classes to increase classroom diversity. 2. Increasing the amount of soft volleyball training during sunshine sports exercises. 3. Adding more professional coaches for soft volleyball. 4. Organizing soft volleyball competitions to promote a sports culture of "unity, friendship, and courage to challenge." Read More

The Representation of Israel-Hamas Conflict in the American and Chinese News Coverage: A Corpus-assisted Comparative Critical Discourse Analysis

Abstract: This research scrutinizes the divergent portrayals of the Israel-Hamas conflict in The New York Times (NYT) and China Daily (CD), utilizing a corpus-based critical discourse analysis approach that blends topic modeling, keyword and collocation analysis, with discourse-historical analysis (DHA) strategies. The analysis reveals how NYT frames the conflict through the lens of democratic values, human rights, and portrays Israel as a defender in the conflict, emphasizing security and terrorism narratives. In contrast, CD offers a narrative that leans towards state sovereignty, national development, and provides a more neutral or sympathetic portrayal of Hamas, reflecting China's stance on non-interference and peace. This comprehensive analysis underscores the significant role media plays in shaping public perception and policy regarding international conflicts, highlighting the entanglement of media narratives with national geopolitical agendas. By offering insights into the ideological and geopolitical underpinnings of media representations, this study contributes to the broader discourse on media's influence in international relations, advocating for enhanced critical media literacy among readers. It opens avenues for future research on media narratives in other geopolitical contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding media as a tool for both reflecting and constructing political realities.

Single-Parent Families and Domestic Child Violence: The Role of Low Income as a Mediating Factor

Abstract: Domestic violence against children can have a severe impact on a child's development and future outcomes, and this behavior is closely related to many family characteristics, such as single-parent families, low levels of parental education, low parental incomes, a history of parental mental illness, and spousal violence between parents, to name a few. Single parenthood is an important risk, factor because single parenthood may affect all aspects of parenting, including the fact that single parents may not have enough energy to provide adequate attention to their children, that single parents are more likely not to have access to useful social support, and that single parenthood is more likely to be in a state of poverty. Low incomes, on the other hand, may result in children in single-parent families not having access to good resources and the stress of parenting, which is likely to increase violence against children.

Survey Study of Non-local College Students’ Attitudes Toward the Chongqing Dialect in Chongqing

Abstract: This study aims to explore the linguistic attitudes of non-local college students in Chongqing towards the Chongqing dialect and to analyze how such attitudes affect their social integration in Chongqing. Through in-depth interviews with non-local college students from different provinces, the study found that although initially non-local college students had some difficulties in understanding and adapting to the Chongqing dialect, their acceptance of the dialect gradually increased with the increase in the time spent in Chongqing and they gradually began to use the dialect in their daily lives. This change in language attitude doesn’t not only reflects their gradual identification with the local culture, but also shows the key role of language in the process of cross-cultural adaptation. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the role of dialects in social integration and gives insights into how non-local students can better adapt to the local language environment.

The Impact of Exercise Load and Intensity on the Performance of China U24 3x3 Women Teams

Abstract: This study analyzed the exercise load and exercise intensity of the China U24 3x3 women team in multiple games, combined with the performance data of the players in the game, and explored the impact of these factors on exercise performance. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between load intensity and average heart rate, and high load intensity usually led to a higher average heart rate. In addition, performance data such as scoring and rebounding were also significantly correlated with load intensity and load volume. Players with higher scores often underwent higher load volume and load intensity in the game. This shows that in high-intensity games, players' physical fitness and performance are closely related, and reasonable monitoring and management of load intensity are crucial to improving player performance and reducing the risk of injury. The study also showed that there were significant differences in load volume and load intensity between the U24 Blue Team and the U24 Red Team in different games, further emphasizing the importance of load management in game strategy and physical training. This study provides empirical evidence for basketball teams to formulate scientific training plans and game strategies, and emphasizes the importance of exercise load and intensity management to improve the overall performance of the team and the individual performance of the players.

Selection and Construction of Copyright Filtering Obligations

Abstract: With the continuous evolution of the Internet, we raise the question: in the era of Web3.0, the application of algorithmic recommendation technology makes personalized recommendation more common, but also raises the problem of copyright infringement, whether the popularity of algorithmic recommendation technology really needs the introduction of copyright filtering obligations in China? This paper explores this issue through literature analysis and theoretical analysis, and further examines the diversity of international attitudes towards the setting of copyright filtering obligations with comparative method analysis. It is found that although some scholars advocate the idea of introducing copyright filtering obligations, there is a divergence of views on this issue internationally. The U.S. focuses on the importance of freedom of expression and innovation, and advocates the maintenance of the "safe harbor" rule; the EU actively promotes copyright filtering obligations for ISPs through the Copyright Directive in the Digital Single Market, and the current promotion of buffering has also been shown. The push for algorithmic goodness has been a key factor in the introduction and construction of copyright filtering obligations in China. The success of this system is seen throughout the entire process of algorithmic recommendation, thus protecting intellectual property rights while ensuring the experience and creative freedom of Internet platform users. To achieve this goal, it is recommended that reasonable filtering standards be adopted, and that the accuracy and efficiency of the filtering system be ensured by regularly updating the centralized work comparison database and strengthening technical investment. In addition, a manual review mechanism should be introduced as a supplement to the algorithm to improve the system's fault tolerance and reduce the risk of erroneous filtering. In summary, China should focus on the ethical application of algorithms when … Read More

Research on the Research Status and Development Trend of Basketball Tactics in China in the Past 20 Years

Abstract: This study uses China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) as the data source, the retrieval strategy is the subject word "basketball tactics", the literature time span is from January 2004 to May 2024, and 456 valid literature are finally obtained, and CiteSpace software is used to sort out and analyze the aspects of basketball tactics in China, aiming to explore the shortcomings of basketball tactics in China in theory and practice, and provide guidance and help for future research and practice. The results show that from the analysis of the number of articles on basketball tactics published in each year, the number of articles published in domestic journals on basketball tactics generally shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, reaching the highest value in 2017 and showing a wave-like decreasing trend after 2017, which to a certain extent reflects the decrease in the attention of domestic scholars in the field of basketball tactics in recent years, and should be maintained. The number of core authors of high-yield basketball tactics in China is small, and the number of authors published is relatively low. From the perspective of the distribution of research institutions, the authors and institutions are affected by the differences and majors of colleges and universities, and on the whole, colleges and universities with sports majors pay more attention to the field of basketball tactics research. From the perspective of the institutions that issued the papers, the degree of cooperation between institutions is low, the communication is not close enough, and only a few research institutions have cooperative relations, and it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation between institutions. Domestic research hotspots focus on basketball tactical theory research, applied research and teaching. Read More

Exploring the Impact of Digital Finance on Regional Innovation Efficiency: Evidence from China

Abstract: Digital finance, as an innovative financial approach, has drawn increasing attention due to its potential to shape regional innovation. This study delves into how digital finance interacts with regional innovation efficiency, beginning with an exploration of the underlying mechanisms. Using data from 31 provinces in China spanning the years 2011 to 2023, and applying a dynamic spatial Durbin model, we examine the spatial spillover effects of digital finance. The analysis uncovers a strong spatial interdependence and temporal persistence in regional innovation efficiency throughout the observed period. The results suggest that digital finance significantly enhances innovation efficiency at the regional level, with pronounced spatial spillover effects. The breakdown of spatial effects indicates that the indirect spillover impact of digital finance surpasses its direct influence. Furthermore, each dimension of digital finance shows spatial spillover, and the disparity between eastern and central-western regions is primarily evident in the spatial spillover patterns of digital finance.

Making Molecular Tools to Determine the Effect of Amino Acid Supply on Protein Synthesis

Abstract: Background: The twenty amino acids making up proteins in animals are classified into three nutritional classes: EAAs, NEAAs and CEAAs. Proteins with extreme amino acid ratios are closely related to growth, malnourishment, cancer and other health problems. Previous studies have shown that the amino acid composition of a protein can influence the protein expression level. The hypothesis that CEAA-rich proteins tend to reduce expression, especially in cells proliferating quickly is expected to be proven, which may provide new ideas for amino acid therapy for some diseases. Lay Abstract: The twenty amino acids making up proteins in animals are classified into three nutritional classes: EAAs, NEAAs and CEAAs. Previous studies show that the amino acid composition of proteins can interact with amino acid availability to influence protein expression levels, independently of the amount of mRNA produced. By analysing the bioinformatic data of protein expression levels in human cells, protein expression was observed to be affected in the way that the more CEAAs present in a protein, the lower its expression, which was particularly evident in cells proliferating quickly. In this project, plasmid constructs were created that express artificial proteins containing almost only one amino acid nutritional class with a V5 epitope at the terminal. These were transfected into A549 cells to test the hypothesis from data analysis in real-life cells that proteins with extreme proportions of CEAAs tend to reduce expression and are most affected by proliferation compared with proteins with other proportions of amino acid class. The V5 tag is an epitope that can be detected by certain antibodies on Western blot or in cells. Through measuring the amount of certain A549 cell protein synthesis in different treatment groups, the results show that proteins with extreme proportions of CEAAs tend to reduce in expression but are not the most affected by proliferation. However, proteins of what amino … Read More
