Innovative Research on the Catalytic Desulfurization Performance of PF₆⁻-Based Ionic Liquids

Yue Gao — 2026-03-13

To address the issues of easy loss and poor loading stability of PF₆⁻-based ionic liquids in catalytic oxidative desulfurization, this study proposes a strategy of “carrier modification-particle functionalization-composite construction.” Using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane as the carrier, a lipophilic PAN-C₈ membrane was prepared via alcoholysis modification. Subsequently, amino-functionalized PF₆⁻-polyionic liquid (PIL-PF₆) Janus particles were synthesized through seeded emulsion polymerization and ion exchange technology, and finally, the PIL-PF₆ Janus@PAN-C₈ composite membrane was constructed. The catalytic oxidative desulfurization performance of the composite membrane for dibenzothiophene (DBT) was systematically investigated. Results showed that under the conditions of 60℃, oil-to-agent ratio of 150:1, and H₂O₂ as oxidant, the PW-5 catalyst with the highest PF₆⁻ content achieved a desulfurization rate of 99.55% after 4 hours of reaction. The composite membrane exhibited excellent stability and reusability. This material integrates “adsorption-catalysis-separation” in one, providing a new technical path for the efficient treatment of sulfur-containing pollutants.

Dynamic Assessment in Second Language Learning: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Applications

Xue Geng — 2026-03-13

Dynamic Assessment (DA) is an alternative to traditional approaches to language testing that merges teaching and assessment based on the framework of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, which views learning as socially mediated, focusing on what learners can develop in their Zone of Proximal Development. DA is conducted using interactionist or interventionist approaches, with the benefits that each provides to a particular teaching situation. DA has been shown through empirical studies to be an effective means of helping learners acquire the grammar of their second language, build their lexicon, or learn the target language at all levels of competence. If evaluation is turned from a black box into a part of the learning loop, DA offers teachers the possibility to use it not only as a diagnostic device, but also in order to foster learning processes. This paper discusses some of the theoretical underpinnings of DA and reviews what is known about using DA for teaching a second language (SL) and describes the implications of this for future teaching and assessment practice.

Constructing “The Heterotopia of Time”: Classical Narrative, Poetic Justice, and Communal Educational Practice

Ziwan Liu — 2026-03-13

The aesthetic perception of art, the formative power of classical ethics, and the negotiation of meaning through signs resonate with one another. By reconstructing the concepts of “poetic justice” and the “heterotopia of time” within classical artistic narratives, this study provides an integrated praxis of slow aesthetics, ethics, and politics for educational innovation and management practice. The study engages with existence from multiple dimensions, focusing on the shift in values concerning the individual psyche and communal interpretation. It extends the fugue of moral sentiments—from poetic justice to the fragility of goodness—navigating the uncertainties inherent in art, language, and the value of the Other through a balance of constancy and change, thereby constructing memory, identity, and ethical responsibility. Utilizing the real material force shaped by temporal narrative, the study intervenes to reveal the mechanisms of ideology and power operation. Through engagements with materiality, art, and embodied aesthetic experiences, the study addresses complex events, participating in the formation of social consensus, the accumulation of affect, and the perceptual inscription of the ethical atmosphere of reality. By deepening the dual-shaping function of temporal narrative as material practice through refraction and trans-domain superposition, it resists the crisis of multimedia fragmentation and the problem of materialized emotions. It responds to the practical transformations of daily life with deep historical consciousness, aiming to forge a modern communal meaning characterized by warmth and depth.

Research on Art Education Methods for Hearing-impaired Children

Xin Hou — 2026-03-13

For hearing-impaired children, art education is a key way to perceive the outside world and show their inner selves. In the process of their growth, they shoulder multiple responsibilities such as stimulating creativity, improving aesthetic ability, and promoting emotional communication. Because of the hearing impairment of hearing-impaired children, they have a stronger sense of vision, touch, and other sensory experiences, which creates a unique starting point and operating space for developing art education. Based on the cognitive characteristics and growth needs of hearing-impaired children, this paper deeply explores the art education methods suitable for hearing-impaired children from four aspects: sensory compensation teaching mode, situational immersion guidance strategy, multiple expression incentives, and home-school cooperative education mechanism. It is expected that with the help of scientific and reasonable teaching strategies, the artistic potential of hearing-impaired children will be fully tapped, and painting will be used as a bridge to build a communication channel with the world, so as to achieve all-around cognitive, emotional, and social development.

This framework offers both theoretical insights and actionable strategies to systematically improve the quality of piano talent development in vocational undergraduate institutions.

The Mechanisms, Predicaments, and Breakthrough Strategies of the Deep Integration of Ideological and Political Education in College Courses and Professional Education

Qiujin Chen — 2026-03-13

The deep integration of ideological and political education in courses with professional education is a core measure to implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue and nurturing talent and to promote the connotative development of higher education. Based on the logic of the Ministry of Education’s “four high integrations”, the integration mechanism is manifested as the dialectical unity of knowledge imparting and value guidance, the symbiotic synergy of explicit education and implicit education, the mutual support of practical exploration and theoretical research, and the organic combination of coordinated advancement and classified measures. The current integration practice faces predicaments such as cognitive bias, superficial element mining, stiff instructional design, and the absence of an evaluation system. It is necessary to promote the integration of the two from “formal integration” to “connotative integration” through four paths: conceptual innovation, content reconstruction, method innovation, and mechanism guarantee, to achieve the trinity of value shaping, knowledge imparting, and ability cultivation.

Song Zou — 2026-03-13

Students’ mental health is a crucial issue related to the country’s future and population quality. Currently, student psychological crisis intervention faces multiple practical dilemmas, such as broken responsibility chains, fragmented resource networks, and insufficient collaborative capabilities. Based on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, this paper constructs the core metaphor of “Fishpond Co-Governance”, comparing the student psychological ecosystem to a “fishpond”, and clarifies the legal roles and core responsibilities of four main subjects—schools, families, medical institutions, and communities—under the framework of laws and regulations such as the Mental Health Law. On this basis, from three dimensions of collaborative mechanisms, system resources, and subject capabilities, the paper systematically proposes practical paths for building a “law-based collaboration” governance system. It aims to provide school administrators with a clear theoretical framework and action guide to transform collaborative concepts into operable governance efficiency, promoting campus psychological crisis intervention from scattered response to systematic and comprehensive ecological governance.
