https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Scientific and Social Research (SSR)</em>&nbsp;publishes papers devoted to quantitative social science research and methodology. The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods to empirically test social science theory. The journal emphasizes research concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas with an ultimate goal of testing social science theory.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Its articles yield new insights into established practices, evaluate new techniques and research, examine current social problems, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems in the profession.&nbsp;Review chapters typically cover social processes, institutions and culture, organizations, political and economic sociology, stratification, demography, urban sociology, social policy, historical sociology, and major developments in sociology in other regions of the world. Major emphasis is placed on social policy and the solutions to serious human problems.</p> Bio-Byword Scientific Publishing PTY LTD en-US Scientific and Social Research 2661-4332 https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/12991 <p>The intensification of population aging and the emergence of the silver economy have made it an inevitable trend for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to participate in the elderly care service industry. By systematically analyzing the opportunities and risks of participation of state-owned enterprises in the service sector, the paper identifies the advantages and disadvantages of participation in the service sector, and proposes further strategic options. The study aims to provide practical reference for State-owned enterprises to organize their services in an orderly manner and to achieve synergy between their own development and industrial upgrading, while supporting the high-quality development of the service sector in support of the elderly and addressing the challenges of population ageing.</p> Hui Ran Yaguang Chen Hongzhi Gao Jin Dai Yali Huang Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) 2025-12-31 2025-12-31 7 12 1 7 10.26689/ssr.v7i12.12991 https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13016 <p>The importance of group standards is becoming increasingly evident. 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&amp;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> Bo Xu Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) 2025-12-31 2025-12-31 7 12 8 19 10.26689/ssr.v7i12.13016 https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13360 <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> Zhangjun Lian Wanting Han Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2025-12-31 2025-12-31 7 12 20 27 10.26689/ssr.v7i12.13360 https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13321 <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> &lt; 0.05). The highest abnormal rate was found in electrocardiogram (41.56%), followed by liver function (16.44%) and blood pressure (16.03%). The abnormal rates of lens, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, and nails increased with age. <em>Conclusion</em>: Long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation has adverse effects on the health of radiation workers, underscoring the necessity of strengthening occupational health protection.</p> Faqiang Li Feifei Qiu Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2025-12-31 2025-12-31 7 12 28 34 10.26689/ssr.v7i12.13321
