The Origin of Culture and Art and the Construction of Artistic Thinking

2025-04-03T14:56:27+08:00

Culture comes into being along with human thinking activities, which reflect the deep essence of human beings. Its development is a long dialectical process of philosophy. Art, as the embodiment of cultural achievements, has a close relationship with culture, and the construction of artistic thinking based on culture is a more complex process, which is the process of individual re-cognition, re-thinking, and re-reasoning under the influence of culture. Therefore, this kind of artistic thinking constructs the basic structure of the cultural world and is also the basis of the existence of the world of human art phenomena, and together, they constitute an important part of human civilization.

An Analysis of the “Literature +” Teaching Reform of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature under the Background of New Liberal Arts

2025-04-03T14:56:28+08:00

Nowadays, the construction of new liberal arts is facing the educational responsibility of “building a liberal arts talent training system that can reach the world level and has Chinese characteristics”, which undoubtedly puts forward higher new requirements for the teaching of colleges and universities. Therefore, the first thing colleges and universities need to do is to consolidate the curriculum system, grasp the curriculum construction, and continue to promote the curriculum teaching content update to better respond to the new liberal arts construction requirements. However, under the background of the new liberal arts, modern and contemporary Chinese literature, as a compulsory core professional course for Chinese major students in colleges and universities, still has some problems in its teaching, such as reduced class time arrangement, poor learning enthusiasm of students, and single choice of course teaching content. Based on this, this paper puts forward the teaching reform strategy of “literature +”, aiming at cultivating a group of composite applied talents who are more in line with the requirements of the new liberal arts construction, hoping to provide some references for your peers.

Professional Managers and Rural Social Integration in the Context of Rural Revitalization: Dilemmas and Countermeasures

2025-04-03T14:56:29+08:00

In the process of promoting the rural revitalization strategy, rural professional managers are crucial to the development of rural industries, and their integration with rural society affects rural revitalization. This study explores the development of rural professional managers through 355 valid questionnaires. It is found that the gender participation of the team is more balanced, but there is a large proportion of middle-aged, low-educated, and experienced people. They face problems such as low salary, low satisfaction, and insufficient interaction with villagers, and are also constrained by the shortage of talents, insufficient policy support, and imperfect remuneration and incentive mechanisms. For this reason, the introduction of talent training should be strengthened, the policy support system should be improved, and institutional innovation should be promoted to facilitate integration and the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

Promoting Healthier Sugar Intake Habits

2025-04-03T14:56:30+08:00

Sugar intake regulation is a huge public health problem in the United States, as excessive and insufficient consumption carries significant health risks. On the other hand, a lack of adequate sugar intake, often related to restrictive eating habits or health conditions such as diabetes, can lead to hypoglycemia, fatigue, dizziness, and many other adverse effects. While knowledge is growing about the health consequences associated with excessive sugar consumption, many Americans still find it very difficult to achieve a healthy balance in their diets.

The Role and Challenges of Environmental and Resource Protection Law in Addressing Climate Change

2025-04-03T14:56:30+08:00

With the increasingly serious problem of climate change, environmental and resource protection law plays an increasingly important role in dealing with climate change. This paper first analyzes the basic framework of environmental and resource protection law under the background of global climate change and clarifies its important functions in slowing down greenhouse gas emissions, promoting green development, and promoting sustainable resource utilization. Through a systematic review of relevant domestic and foreign laws and regulations, it is found that China’s existing environmental and resource protection law has made some progress in addressing climate change, but it still faces many challenges in policy implementation, law application, and public participation. Specific problems include the conflict between the application of climate change and traditional environmental protection laws, the lag of relevant legislation, and the inadequacy of cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms. To address these challenges, the paper proposes to strengthen the coordination of law and policy, promote independent legislation of climate change law, improve legal monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, and enhance public participation. The research shows that only by improving the relevant legal framework can the government effectively promote the legal protection system of China’s response to climate change and contribute to global climate governance.

High-Speed Bandwidth Acquisition System Based on Intermediate Frequency Signal Processing

2025-04-03T14:56:32+08:00

In the high-speed bandwidth acquisition and playback system, due to the current hardware conditions, it is impossible to directly sample the signal at the RF end. Therefore, first complete the down-conversion in the RF module, reduce the signal to the intermediate frequency, and then realize the digitization of the intermediate frequency signal. In response to this problem, a field programmable logic array chip (FPGA) and AD9680 were selected to process the intermediate frequency signal. Use AD9680 to collect the mid-band pass signal with a center frequency of 750 MHz and a bandwidth of 400 MHz as a signal source for test verification, and then pass through a parallel multiphase digital down-conversion module to achieve spectrum shifting. It is verified by testing that the design can normally process the intermediate frequency signal, and the out-of-band suppression reaches 60 dB, which meets the design requirements, has high stability, and has high application value in engineering applications.

Building Long-term Mechanisms for Medical Students to Find Work in Their Hometowns within the Framework of Rural Revitalization

2025-04-03T14:56:32+08:00

As urbanization has increased, the supply-demand gap for rural medical care has expanded, making rural revival harder. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Benefit-Risk Theory model to identify attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived benefits, and perceived risks as influencing medical students’ willingness to return home for work. For the survey questionnaire, eight hypotheses were proposed. The study’s analysis of 528 valid questionnaires found that most medical students dislike going back to their hometowns for work, that improving rural conditions can encourage them to return, and that some who are willing to do so are not interested in healthcare. These data support all eight theories. After investigating medical students’ unwillingness to return home for employment, the study found that the government, medical institutions, the education sector, and medical students all affect the five elements. This study offers specific solutions to encourage medical students to return to their hometowns to revitalize rural healthcare.

The Impact of Rural Population Aging on the Development of Green Agricultural Technology: A Spatial Perspective Study

2025-04-03T14:56:33+08:00

Promoting the green development of agriculture is an essential path toward modernizing agriculture in China, while the regional aging of the rural population structure poses new challenges to green agricultural development. Based on the spatial error model (SEM) and the perspective of human capital level, this paper uses the SBM-ML index method to construct the level of green agricultural development and empirically analyzes the impact of rural population aging on green agricultural development. The study finds that both an increase in the proportion of the rural elderly population and an increase in the old-age dependency ratio restrain green agricultural development. Additionally, the aging of the rural population has a negative impact on the level of rural human capital. Robustness analysis using replacement weight matrices confirms the reliability of the paper’s conclusions. Therefore, efforts are needed to enhance rural education levels, provide more training opportunities for rural elderly individuals, and promote the dissemination of green agricultural technologies to facilitate rural green development.

2025-04-03T14:56:36+08:00

Digital operation is the only way for China’s hotel industry to adapt to the WEB 3.0 era in the future by reducing costs and increasing efficiency. This paper systematically combs the causes of the development of digital operation in China’s hotel industry and analyzes the current situation and main problems of the development of digital operation in China from two dimensions of enterprise operation and technology. The motivation for the digital development of hotel operations mainly stems from the practical needs of business transformation and customer relationship optimization. With the goal of optimizing business processes and improving profit by relying on digital technology, it is committed to improving customer experience. The research shows that through digital empowerment, the sustainable development of digital operation of the hotel industry will ultimately promote the precise quantification of enterprise business objectives, the continuous increase of digital service products, and the innovation of customer experience perception service. At present, the development of digital operations in the hotel industry is faced with practical difficulties and challenges such as insufficient investment in digital projects and limited professional talents. In contrast to the rapid development of the industry, the current theoretical research literature on the digital operation of the hotel industry mainly focuses on the characteristics and motivation of the hotel digital operation, but its research still has the shortcomings of lagging research and superficial problems. The article suggests that the future research of the digital operation of hotels in China should be rooted in China’s economic reality and deepened from two aspects of real industry cases and the international localization process.

2025-04-03T14:56:36+08:00

This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of temperature variations across China from 2016 to 2023 utilizing ERA5-LAND temperature data. The analysis reveals pronounced regional differences in temperature distribution, with colder conditions prevailing in northern and western China during winter, contrasted by warmer temperatures in the south. The long-term trend shows a gradual decline in monthly mean temperatures despite clear seasonal fluctuations. Additionally, the quarterly analysis identifies a faster rate of warming during the first half of the year, particularly in the cooler months, while the fourth quarter shows minimal change. These findings underscore the complexity and heterogeneity of climate responses across different regions and seasons in China, suggesting that localized climatic changes are driven by both global climate forces and regional factors.

On the Application and Reflection of the Theory of Protective Norms

2025-04-03T14:56:37+08:00

This article starts from the evolution of the standards for determining the plaintiff’s qualification in administrative litigation and the limitations of the current “interest relationship” standard and explores the application of the protection norm theory. The “Liu Guangming” case first introduced the protection norm theory as a tool for determining the plaintiff’s qualification in administrative litigation, which has positive significance for the judicial practice of administrative litigation in China. However, in China’s practice, there are problems in the application of the protection norm theory, specifically manifested as a mechanical application of the protection norm theory and the lack of a unified judicial application standard. In view of this, in order to solve the practical difficulties, it is necessary to construct a “three-step” application path for the protection norm theory.

At the same time, it also points out the problems faced in the implementation process, such as task difficulty control, time management, etc., and puts forward corresponding improvement strategies and suggestions for these problems.

Exploration of Alternative Solutions to Campus Conflicts in the Context of China and Malaysia

2025-04-03T14:56:40+08:00

Campus conflicts, particularly school bullying, have garnered significant global attention, necessitating the exploration of effective resolution mechanisms. Peer mediation has emerged as a promising alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method, demonstrating success in various contexts, including labor disputes and community conflicts. This study examines the feasibility and implementation of peer mediation in China and Malaysia by analyzing its institutional foundation, cultural influences, and legal positioning. The research highlights the impact of Confucian ethics and hierarchical teacher-student relationships on peer mediation in China, as well as the role of Islamic collectivism and multicultural diversity in Malaysia. Additionally, the study contrasts these regional practices with the well-established peer mediation models in the United States, emphasizing procedural justice, mediator selection, and the ethical-legal balance required for effective mediation. The findings suggest that while peer mediation has the potential to reduce campus conflicts and foster a culture of peaceful dispute resolution, its success in China and Malaysia hinges on developing structured legal frameworks, enhancing mediator training, and adapting mediation principles to local sociocultural dynamics. The study provides theoretical insights and policy recommendations to support the institutionalization of peer mediation in educational settings.

Ecotourism: A Sustainable Path or an Environmental Paradox?

2025-04-03T16:43:49+08:00

Ecotourism has become a popular form of “sustainable travel” tourism intended to support conservation and local communities. The United Nations even declared 2002 the International Year of Ecotourism, reflecting optimism about its potential. However, ecotourism is controversial because if poorly managed, it can harm the very ecosystems it aims to protect. Supporters see ecotourism as a way to fund conservation and bring benefits to local people, whereas critics point to problems like the carbon footprint of travel and greenwashing (branding tourism as “eco” without real action). This paper examines both views and argues that with proper management, strong policies, and true community involvement, ecotourism can be a genuinely sustainable path rather than an environmental paradox. This article will discuss its environmental and socio-economic impacts, real-world successes and failures, policy frameworks, and challenges like greenwashing and inequitable benefit sharing.

Although international countries actively explore the relevant model and have domestic policy support, it still face the challenge of single employment form. Based on this, this paper focuses on the rational utilization of elderly human resources, and puts forward suggestions and countermeasures by analyzing the current situation, advantages and disadvantages, and value, to promote the positive interaction between the development of aging cause and the elderly and society.

Grassroots Operation of Therapeutic Function of Family Justice: Taking Psychological Counseling Mechanism as the Starting Point

2025-04-03T14:56:43+08:00

The therapeutic function of family justice is based on therapeutic jurisprudence theory, aiming to reduce the negative impact of family disputes and justice on the parties involved and achieve unity between individual happiness and family harmony. In China’s family justice practice, psychological counseling has become the primary means of achieving the therapeutic function of family justice. However, empirical research conducted in a grassroots court in City A of the southwestern region reveals several issues with the operation of the psychological intervention mechanism. These include low utilization and limited effectiveness of mental health services, difficulties in initiating psychological interventions, confusion regarding the role of psychological counseling techniques, unscientific methods, and a lack of a holistic family perspective. Therefore, China needs to expedite the establishment of family litigation law to provide legal protection for the psychological intervention mechanism. Simultaneously, it should strengthen the professional development of the family justice team, establish a scientific layered psychological intervention mechanism, and introduce psychological approaches such as family counseling to adjust family conflicts from a holistic perspective, enabling the smooth operation of the therapeutic function of family justice.

Research on the Defects and Perfection of the Criminal Law Protection of Chinese Citizens’ Personal Information Rights

2025-04-03T14:56:43+08:00

With the rapid development of technology, humanity has entered the era of big data. Big data technology can accurately identify users’ daily needs and push content that interests them. However, while enjoying this convenience, the issue of information leakage has also emerged. Some criminals steal personal information and use it as a tool for illegal profit. As a result, citizens’ personal information is virtually exposed to the public, leading to an influx of spam messages and harassing phone calls. This not only disrupts people’s lives but also poses a serious threat to their personal and financial security. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to use criminal law to regulate crimes that infringe upon citizens’ personal information. To address the shortcomings in China’s criminal law regarding personal information protection, this study proposes several suggestions, such as replacing “citizens’ personal information” with “personal information”, establishing the public nature of legal interests, and adding new forms of criminal behavior. The goal of this paper is to enable criminal law to play its role fully in protecting personal information.

The Evolution of the “Lying Flat” Mentality and its Social Media Expression: The Youth Perspective

2025-04-03T14:56:44+08:00

In this digital era, social media has become an indispensable part of people’s lives. As young people are the primary users of social media, their mentality and behavior have received widespread attention. Among the mentalities that have become a popular social phenomenon among young people in China is “lying flat.” In the face of the development process of the outside world and amidst social involution, young people who are lying flat maintain a personal philosophy of living their own “slow life” as a set of attitudes and behaviors. Through conducting image analyses and in-depth interviews, this study aims to examine the lying flat mentality among some Chinese youth and explores the reasons for its evolution and strategies for coping with it. The study concludes that in a period of complex transition in Chinese society, young people feel confused, anxious, lost, and conflicted, and in lying flat, they self-construct a set of values and a lifestyle as a method of relieving pressure.
