These standards are developed and released by groups following their own established procedures, intended for voluntary adoption by group members or the public. In the field of medical equipment innovation and transformation, group standards play a crucial role in multiple aspects. They provide unified technical specifications and operational procedures, clearly defining quality requirements and evaluation criteria at each stage, which helps reduce the randomness in R&D and enhances the efficiency of transformation. They also facilitate communication and collaboration among industry, academia, research, and application sectors, enabling scientific research institutions, medical facilities, and enterprises to share resources and complement each other’s strengths within a common standard framework, thus accelerating the transition of innovative outcomes from the laboratory to the market. By establishing group standards, the healthy development of the industry can be guided, market order can be standardized, and the overall quality and international competitiveness of China’s medical equipment products can be enhanced, promoting China’s transition from a major player to a leader in medical equipment manufacturing. Through an in-depth exploration of the practical applications and development trends of group standards in the innovation and transformation of medical equipment, researchers can better understand the intrinsic connections and mechanisms between group standards and the innovation and transformation of medical equipment, providing new perspectives and theoretical foundations for future research, and enriching the theoretical framework in this field.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13360A Brief Analysis of the Characteristics of Interpretation Text of the Speech of Minister for Foreign Affairs of China at China-CELAC Forum2026-01-08T17:25:25+08:00Zhangjun Lianteam@bbwpublisher.comWanting Hanteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>With the continuous improvement of China’s international status, Chinese leaders often deliver speeches on some important international occasions. The English translation of diplomatic speech concerns the interests and honor of China, so the role of interpretation for diplomatic speech in this process is very important. Taking foreign minister’s speech at the plenary session of the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of China-CELAC Forum as the research object, this study analyzes the characteristics of the speech in three aspects: syntactic choice, choice for figure of speech and the use of metaphor from the perspective of interpretation text, and repeatedly compares it with the speeches of previous leaders, trying to summarize the overall style of diplomatic discourse, so as to provide reference translation strategies for interpreters’ real-time interpretation.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13321Analysis of Occupational Health Examination Results of Radiation Workers in Yangzhou in 20252026-01-08T15:31:45+08:00Faqiang Liteam@bbwpublisher.comFeifei Qiuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p><em>Objective</em>: To assess the health status of 2,957 radiation workers who underwent occupational health examinations in Yangzhou in 2025, and to explore the health effects of low-dose ionizing radiation. <em>Methods</em>: A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and the health examination data were statistically analyzed. <em>Results</em>: Significant differences in abnormal rates were observed among different genders, ages, job types, and examination types (<em>P</em> < 0.05).

By analyzing the three components of the L2MSS—the ideal L2 self, the ought-to L2 self, and the L2 learning experience, it demonstrates that for adult learners, the ideal L2 self and direct learning experiences serve as the primary motivational drivers, while the ought-to L2 self exerts a comparatively weaker influence. The paper further investigates the mediating roles of vision intervention and roadmaps in translating motivation into sustained learning behavior. It argues that vision intervention is a critical mechanism for strengthening the ideal L2 self by making it vivid and attainable, while detailed roadmaps are essential for operationalizing this vision into concrete, actionable steps. The discussion culminates in pedagogical implications, suggesting that effective adult L2 instruction should integrate systematic vision-building exercises and provide structured roadmaps to bridge the gap between motivational states and actual learning effort, thereby fostering long-term engagement and proficiency.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13362Research on the Mechanism of the Chain Leader System in Promoting the Modernization of Local Industrial Chains2026-01-09T09:49:22+08:00Quan Zhuteam@bbwpublisher.comSongbin Wuteam@bbwpublisher.comZongshu Wuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>This paper focuses on the chain leader system, an important institutional innovation implemented by local governments in China to address internal and external shocks and promote the modernization of industrial chains. Based on a systematic review of literature related to industrial chains and the chain leader system, this paper focuses on analyzing the core mechanism of the chain leader system in promoting the modernization of local industrial chains. The research proposes that its role is mainly realized through three mechanisms: first, the coordination mechanism; second, the precise empowerment mechanism; third, the environment optimization mechanism. Based on the above mechanism analysis, this paper further puts forward policy suggestions such as improving the scientific decision-making and dynamic evaluation mechanism, promoting in-depth integration with the innovation chain and talent chain, and clarifying the boundary between the government and the market, aiming to provide theoretical reference and decision-making basis for optimizing the practice of the chain leader system and building a modern industrial system.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13363A Ten-year Review and Visual Analysis of Global Artificial Intelligence Research—A Bibliometric Analysis in CiteSpace Based on Highly Cited Literature2026-01-09T09:54:22+08:00Hongbo Laiteam@bbwpublisher.comZhang Hanteam@bbwpublisher.comYiwei Zhaoteam@bbwpublisher.comYunxi Zhangteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Taking the highly cited literature related to artificial intelligence over the ten-year span between 2009 and 2019 from the Web of Science database as the data sample, this paper has analyzed the distribution of literature, hot topics of research, frontier research and evolution of artificial intelligence by using CiteSpace and applying dual-map overlay, co-word and co-citation analysis, among other bibliometric approaches. The research findings indicate full-fledged multidisciplinary features of artificial intelligence, but interdisciplinary integration is still at a nascent stage; most of the existing researches are focused on fundamental technologies, while applications are quite limited, with more applications of the computer vision technologies; deep learning is garnering the most interest, while a cutting-edge research theme could be the combination of quantum physics and machine learning.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13364Research on Foreign Discourse Quality of Enterprise Websites in Liaoning Province, China2026-01-09T10:05:42+08:00Tianxin Liteam@bbwpublisher.comYilin Wuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Under the background of the promotion of the “Belt and Road” Initiative and the deepening of the “going out” strategy of enterprises in China, the foreign discourse of enterprise websites has become the key carrier of international image communication and market expansion. This study takes 8 well-known enterprises in Liaoning Province of China as samples, covering manufacturing, service and high-tech industries, and constructs a three-level evaluation index system of “Corporate Image Discourse — Public Relations Discourse — Internationalization Discourse”. The quality of foreign discourse of 8 enterprise websites is comprehensively evaluated by means of stratified sampling, content analysis, technical testing and questionnaire survey. The study found that the overall performance of the foreign discourse quality of the websites of large enterprises and high-tech enterprises in Liaoning is good, but there are also some problems such as differentiation in the presentation of corporate image, lack of depth of public relations operation, the general weakness of international adaptability and promotion ability. The results provide an empirical reference for enterprises to optimize the website’s foreign discourse system and enhance their international competitiveness.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13365Pushing Open Another Door: A Preliminary Exploration of the Modernist View of Truth2026-01-09T10:08:26+08:00Hao Dongteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>The view of reality has always been a controversial topic, whether it is the classicist school or the realist school, there is a relatively complete definition of the view of reality. However, the modernist view of truth is different, it pursues not only the truth in real life, but also requires a more nuanced description of the truth in the depths of the soul, so it may be closer to the essence of truth. Through the discussion of the modernist view of truth, this paper aims to reveal that the definition of truth itself is actually a long process of continuous development and change.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13366An Analysis of Paths to Enhancing the Sustained Participation Willingness of Primary Militia Based on Multi-Theory Integration2026-01-09T10:11:31+08:00Jingyuan Chenteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Primary militia are a crucial component of China's armed forces, and the stability and combat effectiveness of their contingent directly affect the effectiveness of national defense mobilization. However, under the conditions of a market economy and prolonged peace, the characteristics of annual reorganization and high personnel mobility pose challenges to the sustained participation willingness of primary militia. Based on social exchange theory, psychological contract theory, and self-determination theory in organizational behavior, this paper proposes specific measures to enhance the sustained participation willingness of primary militia from four dimensions: optimizing institutional guarantees, innovating management models, strengthening spiritual incentives, and constructing a supportive environment. The research aims to provide reference for strengthening the construction of militia contingents in the new era.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13423Analysis of the Relationship between Mobilization Uncertainty and Flexibility Based on the “Effective Response Dimension” Framework2026-01-09T10:22:07+08:00Meichao Chenteam@bbwpublisher.comYong Xueteam@bbwpublisher.comChengdong Zhangteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Modern social mobilization systems are becoming increasingly complex, leading to significant uncertainty in the mobilization process. This paper introduces the concept of "Effective Response Dimension" to quantify the complexity of mobilization systems, namely the number of key decision-making nodes in the mobilization system (truncation dimension, k_t) and the order of collaboration among mobilization departments (superposition dimension, k_s). Utilizing flexibility's ability to quickly adapt to changes and modularly reorganize resources, this study reduces the effective response dimension or provides compensation, conducts more comprehensive simulation assumptions for resource allocation, process regulation, and social collaborative mobilization, suppresses the growth of uncertainty, and generates more accurate mobilization decisions.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13431Empowering the Integration of Scientific Journals and New Media through AIGC: Model Innovation and Practical Pathways2026-01-09T10:27:58+08:00Yanyan Huangteam@bbwpublisher.comMingzhi Panteam@bbwpublisher.comMingpei Liangteam@bbwpublisher.comLinkui Wangteam@bbwpublisher.comDandan Xieteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) technology is profoundly transforming the publishing ecosystem of scientific journals. Based on the Diffusion of Innovations theory, this paper systematically explores the application models and innovative pathways of AIGC technology in the integration process of scientific journals and new media. The study finds that AIGC not only reconstructs the content production workflow of scientific journals but also drives fundamental changes in communication models. By analyzing typical domestic and international cases, this paper proposes a three-stage practical framework of "technology adaptation–process reengineering–ecosystem reconstruction," providing actionable implementation plans for the digital transformation of scientific journals. The research also highlights that in advancing AIGC applications, special attention must be paid to ethical norms, quality control, and talent development as critical issues.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13367Integrating Party Building with Core Tasks: A “Point-Line-Surface-Body” Synergistic Framework for University Grassroots Party Branches2026-01-09T10:30:15+08:00Feifei Liteam@bbwpublisher.comXin Liteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Under the background of the new era, the in-depth integration of party building and business work in grassroots party organizations of colleges and universities is an important proposition to implement the fundamental task of fostering morality and cultivating people and promote the high-quality development of higher education. Taking grassroots party branches of colleges and universities as the research object, this paper addresses practical problems such as "superficial integration" and "insufficient mechanism coordination" between party building and business. Based on the "Point-Line-Surface-Body" collaborative innovation framework, it constructs a four-dimensional integration model of "Point—Precise connection with curriculum ideological and political education, Line—Branch-led geese formation effect, Surface—Professional construction community, Body—Department collaborative ecology", exploring the practical path of in-depth integration of party building and business. It provides practical reference for solving the dilemma of "two skins" between party building and business in colleges and universities.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13368Optimization of AI-Enhanced Project-Based Practical Teaching Path for Applied English Major in Vocational Colleges2026-01-09T10:36:35+08:00Wei Biteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>This paper conducts research on the project-based practical teaching of Applied English major in higher vocational colleges based on AI enhancement.

This study surveyed 103 adolescents to investigate the generalization effects of perspective differences. The findings show that value-based differences among middle school students mainly appear in attitudes toward financial issues and emotional factors, while differences in understanding objective facts are concentrated in beliefs about the malleability of intelligence and the importance of effort. Variations in personal preferences are reflected in favored sports teams and the choice of celebrating birthdays by the lunar or solar calendar. Gender did not produce significant differences across values, factual understanding, or preferences, whereas age differences were evident: high school students exhibited greater conceptual divergence than middle school students across all dimensions. Perspective consistency among middle school students produced a moderate positive generalization effect, where agreement on values, preferences, and factual understanding corresponded to higher levels of relational harmony, personal and regional idealization, and familial idealization. In contrast, perspective divergences elicited a moderate negative generalization effect. Only differences in preferences and factual understanding were associated with relational conflict, personal criticism, regional bias, and familial bias, while value discrepancies did not trigger negative effects. Based on these results, the study provides recommendations to help middle school students manage conceptual differences more effectively in future interactions.</p>2025-12-31T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)
