The success of rural revitalization requires full leverage of the role of rural governance, where all individuals from grassroots governments to community residents should take on their responsibilities. The exploration of the reform of cultivating rural governance talents in universities plays a crucial role in cultivating professional talents with knowledge and skills in rural governance. These talents will be able to assist rural grassroots governments in allocating resources, providing social services, and addressing issues, thereby strengthening the implementation of rural revitalization strategies. This article explored the necessity and urgency of the reform of rural governance talent cultivation in universities in the context of rural revitalization, analyzed the opportunities and challenges, and provided useful ideas and inspiration for this reform strategy.</p> Haoyu Wang Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6432 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 The Aesthetics of Truth and Ecology: The World of Realistic Television Dramas http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6433 <p>In the continuous dream-building process of China, the public has a broader interpretation of the concept of<br>home and family wrapped around their daily lives. Family in their daily lives carries the love and care among individuals under the social attributes, while the unity of the country gives the public a firm foundation for life under the undertones of the growing scientific construction. Throughout the past two years, popular Chinese TV dramas, such as Age of Awakening, Ren Shi Jian, and Mountains and the Sea, have revealed the transformation in China’s development under the common terminology of multi-dimensional performance, which embodied the country and family under the great historical changes and reform of the country. This paper takes human behavior as the main perspective and expands the research on the common construction of family and nation based on aesthetics. Real aesthetics advocate through the real-life encounters of ordinary people to reflect contemporary social phenomena. This can stimulate social identity in audiences with the constructed ecology aesthetics by the community.</p> Jie Zhang Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6433 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 An Overview of Re-Identification http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6298 <p>Pedestrian re-identification (Re-ID) is an emerging cutting-edge technology in the research area of intelligent<br>video analysis in recent years, belonging to the category of image processing and analysis in complex video environments.

Biopolymers are biodegradable and can be used to reduce plastic pollution. They are derived from renewable resources like cornstarch, sugarcane, or cellulose. Cellulose nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize various industries. However, the production process of nanocellulose films is time-consuming, and there is a need for quick and adaptable methods to fabricate these films. Techniques such as solvent casting, spin coating, roll-to-roll printing, layer-by-layer assembly, vacuum filtration, and spraying are used to fabricate free-standing nanocellulose films, each with its advantages and limitations. The spraying process shows promise in producing nanocellulose films quickly and efficiently. In addition to that, the need for free-standing nanocellulose films in medical packaging and tissue engineering areas was admirable. However, the rapid process for fabrication of the film should be developed for large-scale production and commercialization of films.</p> Kirubanandan Shanmugam Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6350 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Analysis of the Phenomenon of “Apathy Towards Relatives” among Young People in Contemporary Society http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6354 <p>“Apathy towards relatives” is a sociological term that refers to laziness, negligence, and disdain for interaction<br>and socialization with relatives within two generations. As the saying goes, “One generation is considered close families, the second generation is considered distant relatives, while the third and fourth generation are equivalent to strangers.” In this atomized society, apathy towards relatives brings about a possible social trust crisis. Therefore, in this paper, we will dive into the leading causes of this phenomenon and its impact on today’s society and the relationship structure between distant relatives.</p> Ruixi Xu Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6354 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Research on Bottlenecks and Countermeasures for the Development of Young Teachers in Vocational Colleges http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6366 <p>Young teachers play a pivotal role in workforce development within vocational colleges, yet often face challenges adjusting to their new responsibilities. This study aimed to identify barriers through a questionnaire survey of 11 young teachers. Findings revealed the greatest difficulties lay in adapting instruction methods to meet the diverse needs of learners, navigating constraints on research due to insufficient laboratory facilities and funding, and uncertainty around career progression pathways. To address these issues, we proposed three countermeasure strategies. First, vocational colleges should strengthen partnerships between industry and education through joint training programs and applied research laboratories to enrich curriculum design and enhance teachers’ practical skills. Secondly, establishing formal mentorship programs pairing new educators with experienced mentors can facilitate the transition into their roles and offer career<br>guidance. Third, colleges should actively encourage the involvement of young teachers in skills competitions to cultivate their practical skills. This research highlights the multifaceted challenges faced by young teachers and the imperative for targeted solutions to strengthen the vocational education workforce.</p> Zhixin Feng, Meiqin Liang Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6366 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 13:27:30 +0800 A Study on the Role of Outfit in the Wedding Ceremonies of the Yi Ethnic Group in Ganluo County http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6406 <p>The outfits of the Yi ethnic group in Ganluo have different forms of meaning in different scenarios, such as birth<br>ceremonial costumes, childhood ceremonial costumes, and wedding ceremonial costumes.

According to<br>the Chinese population census data, China has entered the second stage of an aging population society and has become one of the countries with the fastest growth rate of the elderly population in the world. It is expected that the elderly population in China will reach 250 million within the next fifteen years and exceed 450 million by 2050. Additionally, China is a country with uneven development between urban and rural areas. Many young and middle-aged people choose to work in cities, which leads to most rural residents being elderly. Thus, the phenomenon of the elderly living alone by themselves occurs. Therefore, the government and related experts are increasingly concerned about the physical and mental health of the elderly. The establishment of the elderly activity center is to meet the needs of the elderly cultural life, improve the level of elderly physical and mental health, and promote the harmonious development of the countryside. Many countries aware of this problem would emphasize park construction and nursing home design for the needs of the elderly. However, little research are performed on the activity center and public spaces for the elderly in underdeveloped rural areas. Design countermeasures of the public space should consider the physical, psychological, and behavioral needs of the elderly. This study summarizes the influencing factors, design principles, and design methods of public spaces to effectively meet the needs of the elderly for public activities. By creating and improving public social spaces suitable for the elderly in rural areas, the elderly can lead a comfortable life and solve loneliness issues.</p> Liu Ge, Ajmera Mohan Singh, Manual Selvaraj Bexci Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6379 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Integration of Ideological and Political Education in Nursing Undergraduate Programs http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6383 <p>This paper presents an overview of the resources, classification, and commonly used methods of incorporating ideological and political elements into undergraduate nursing education.

Frequent data leaks and increasingly complex social media privacy protection terms intensify users’ privacy concerns, along with mandatory privacy exposure, contributing to privacy fatigue among users. This study examines the changes in privacy protection behavior among college students under the influences of privacy concerns and privacy fatigue from the perspective of self-efficacy in privacy protection. Data is collected through a questionnaire survey, and a structural equation model is established to provide insights into protecting user privacy. The results of this research indicate that college students’ internal self-efficacy in privacy protection has a negative impact on privacy fatigue. College students’ privacy concerns are significantly negatively correlated with their willingness to disclose information, while privacy fatigue is significantly positively correlated with their willingness to disclose information. Privacy fatigue among college students has a significant positive influence on both their disclosure intention and the behavior of disengaging from privacy protection.</p> Mingwu Cui, Fangfang Ding, Kun Cai Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6445 Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Generative Thinking - The Way of Thinking in Modern Philosophy http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6463 <p>Generative thinking is different from traditional analytical thinking, as it emphasizes the importance&nbsp; of innovation and creativity. Generative thinking regards knowledge and understanding as not only the ways to discover or explain existing things but also to shape new possibilities through creative processes. In this mode of thinking, students explore the unknown, challenge traditional boundaries and assumptions, and use their imagination to generate new theories, viewpoints, and practical methods. At the same time, the application of generative thinking in modern philosophy spans many fields such as ethics, epistemology, aesthetics, and political philosophy, encouraging individuals and collectives to transcend the status quo, exploring new knowledge fields, and promoting the progress of philosophical thinking.</p> Yixuan Gao Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6463 Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 A Theoretical Study on the Effectiveness of Grassroots Social Governance http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6464 <p>Social stability is one of the important pursuits of rulers with great priority over other aspects.

The grafting products were characterized qualitatively by Fourier infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and the graft ratio and grafting efficiency of the products were determined. The performance of the adhesive was analyzed by a 180° peel strength test. The optimal content of vulcanizing agent was found to be 0.25, with the content of silane coupling agent KH-171 being 4. This composition achieved a graft ratio of 3.4, a grafting efficiency of 0.85, and a melt flow index of 12.98 g/10 min; the adhesion performance was excellent. The mobility of the product that was created with the optimum ratio of materials was then tested, followed by a comparative analysis with POE. The modified material (POE-g-KH-171) showed better performance than regular POE. Besides, POE-g- KH-171 had similar properties with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) materials. This modified material is expected to mature in the future, contributing to the advancement of photovoltaic encapsulation technology.</p> Jinyang Song, Limeng Chen, Tongjian Lv, Shuhui Dong Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6414 Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Participation of Community Social Enterprises in Community Governance http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6408 <p>Standing at the intersection of the historical goals of “two hundred years,” the people’s needs show their yearning for a “better life,” but the main body of the state or government can hardly take full account of it, and the focus of governance gradually shifts downward. Therefore, community social enterprises, which take into account both community logic and market logic, adapt to this demand. This paper will analyze the significance of community social enterprises’ participation in community governance through the two dimensions of community social enterprises’ internal logic and practical path.</p> Bingqing Yang, Jia Xu, Bin Ruan, Jiamiao Fu, Yanpeng Yuan Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6408 Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Translation of Featured Words in 2019 Government Work Report from the Perspective of Skopos Theory http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6434 <p>Due to the development of China, more and more people have come to know about Chinese politics and culture.

This study integrates the Zhuang brocade pattern elements into the packaging design of modern women’s products and uses a large number of Zhuang brocade pattern elements. Starting from the pattern, color, theme, and other aspects, the Zhuang brocade pattern elements are incorporated into the graphic composition for the deconstruction of the design. To establish a new approach to the development of national costume culture, this paper suggested exploring its derivatives and redesigning graphic reconstruction methods. By integrating the Zhuang brocade pattern elements with modern women’s product packaging design styles, the connotation value of women’s product design can be enhanced. This also facilitates the preservation of the Zhuang brocade national costume culture and provides new ideas for modern innovative design.</p> Yuanxin Su, Zehui Yang Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6490 Wed, 17 Apr 2024 10:08:42 +0800 Intelligent Social Media Information Dissemination: Balancing Freedom and Governance http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6378 <p>This paper explores the problem of bad information management in smart social media and analyzes the status of smart social media and the challenges it poses.

However, little has been studied about how parents are affected and what actions they take to counteract such situation. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the coping styles of parents who have children with hearing impairment. A descriptive methodology with a cross-sectional quantitative approach was used to collect data from 20 parents attending a specialized educational center in Mexico City. The first instrument collected sociodemographic information and the second was the Coping Strategies Scale-Modified (EEC-M), which consists of 98 items of the frequentist type distributed in 14 dimensions. The second instrument was validated and adapted to obtain reliable data. The reliability of the instrument was α = 0.842. The results of the first instrument showed that only 30% received support from a family member and 65% did not. The second instrument showed that the “Never” option was the most selected, with the “Aggressive reaction” dimension obtaining the highest value. According to the data obtained, it is concluded that the plurality of strategies applied exists because of the different characteristics of the children and the different coping capacities of the parents.</p> Maria Argendida, Jimenez Guadarrama Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6501 Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Professional Development of College English Teachers from the Perspective of Self-Education http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/6380 <p>The English proficiency of college students is correlated with the professional development of college teachers.
