AIGC Empowering Model Innovation and Practical Pathways for Scientific Journals

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:27:53 +0800

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology, the scientific journal publishing industry is facing unprecedented opportunities for transformation. AIGC technology not only optimizes publishing workflows and enhances efficiency but also holds the potential to reshape the production, dissemination, and operational models of scientific journals. This paper first systematically analyzes the pain points inherent in traditional journal models, including lengthy peer-review cycles, difficulties in filtering knowledge overload, limited dissemination reach, and singular service models. Building on this analysis, the paper constructs a “Three-Wheel Drive” model for AIGC-empowered scientific journals, elaborating on how AIGC drives model innovation across three core areas: content production and peer review, knowledge aggregation and dissemination, and platform reconstruction and services. Furthermore, the paper proposes specific practical pathways: at the content level, utilizing AIGC to assist with topic selection, literature review, language polishing, and preliminary manuscript screening; at the knowledge level, building intelligent summarization, cross-modal interpretation, and personalized recommendation systems based on AIGC; at the platform level, exploring new service models such as “intelligent Q&A knowledge bases” and “open science collaborative integration.” Finally, the paper dialectically discusses the challenges encountered in this process, including academic ethics, intellectual property, and technological dependency, and proposes corresponding governance strategies. This research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the transformation and upgrading of scientific journals in the intelligent era.

Jie Huang, Qian Liu, Ting Li, Yuxi Liu — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:33:11 +0800

The accelerated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has created a new spatial carrier and institutional foundation for Hong Kong and Macao seniors to receive cross-border elderly care in the Chinese mainland. Driven by structural pressures such as rapid aging, high housing prices, and strained long-term care resources in Hong Kong and Macao, and supported by institutional innovations such as the Guangdong Residential Care Service Scheme and the Guangdong Scheme, the scale of cross-border elderly care for Hong Kong and Macao seniors has expanded steadily. However, practical development is still faced with multiple challenges, including inadequate welfare connectivity, bottlenecks in cross-border medical security, large differences in service standards, and insufficient cultural adaptation and social support. Based on the theories of population migration and elderly welfare economics, this paper systematically analyzes the four-dimensional influencing factors of cross-border elderly care decisions for Hong Kong and Macao seniors, namely economic and cost factors, living environment and service supply, institutional and welfare portability, and family and social support networks. It also sorts out the innovative exploration of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao in welfare portability, cross-regional collaborative governance, medical-care integration, and smart elderly care, and puts forward targeted policy suggestions for optimizing the cross-border elderly care ecosystem. The research aims to provide a theoretical reference for improving the long-term stability and equity of cross-border elderly care in the Greater Bay Area and promoting the high-quality development of the regional elderly care service system.

Spatial Distribution Pattern and Risk Analysis of Rodent Damage in Artificial Chinese Fir Forests

Xu Wang, Shibei Tan — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:23:30 +0800

As an important production area of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) in southern China, Guangxi is severely threatened by rodent damage in artificial Chinese fir forests. It is urgent to clarify the spatial pattern and risk level of rodent damage to support scientific prevention and control. This study took young artificial Chinese fir forests as the research area to explore the spatial distribution pattern of rodent damage and evaluate the rodent risk levels. Damaged trees were manually identified based on UAV orthophotos, spatial pattern analysis was conducted using ArcGIS, and a multi-index comprehensive evaluation method was adopted to analyze the risk of rodents. The results showed that: (1) The rodent-damaged Chinese fir plants in the research area presented a significant aggregated spatial distribution pattern (R=0.553); (2) Risk assessment classified Mus musculus (house mouse), Rattus norvegicus (brown rat), and Microtus fortis (reed vole) as medium-risk species, and Rattus losea (rice field rat), Rattus tanezumi (roof rat), Callosciurus erythraeus (Pallas’s squirrel), and Rhizomys sinensis (Chinese bamboo rat) as low-risk species. In conclusion, management countermeasures are proposed by combining the spatial distribution pattern and risk levels, which provide a scientific basis for the precise prevention and control and sustainable management of rodent damage in Chinese fir forests in Guangxi.

Standardized Reconstruction of the Longterm Care System for the Elderly in Macau: A Pathway Study Based on Hong Kong’s Integrated Experience

Peiyu Xiao — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:29:31 +0800

Based on policy instrument theory, this article systematically analyzes the structural challenges faced by Macao’s long-term care system for the elderly, such as fragmentation, lack of standardization, and shortages of professional manpower. Through a comparison of Hong Kong’s integrated governance framework and the United States’ InterRAI-based precise closed-loop management technology, this study proposes an innovative pathway tailored to the characteristics of Macao’s micro-economy. This pathway builds on the InterRAI standardized assessment tool to construct a data-driven closed-loop management mechanism that covers the entire process from “needs screening—care planning—resource payment—quality benchmarking—system optimization.” The aim is to explore a new sustainable elderly service governance model characterized by “government leadership, data-driven processes, and market collaboration”, providing a practical blueprint for restructuring the Macao system and offering both a theoretical reference and practical paradigm for other regions facing challenges of super-aged societies.

The application of AI customer service in cross-border e-commerce is a continuous optimization process, which requires constant improvement in AI’s natural language understanding, regular update and refinement of the knowledge base, enhancement of AI’s capabilities in emotional recognition and personalized service, clear definition of the boundary and transfer mechanism of human-machine collaboration, and at the same time, promotion of system integration and data interconnection and sharing.

Spatial Patterns of Population Ageing and Pension-Fiscal Pressure in the Liaoning Coastal Economic Belt

Xiaoming Jin — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:59:13 +0800

Using data from China’s Seventh National Population Census and 2020 economic statistics, this study identifies the spatial configuration of older populations in Liaoning Province, assesses the match between ageing pressure and economic capacity across the coastal economic belt, and estimates fiscal resources released by delayed retirement. Older adults form a belt-like pattern with cohort heterogeneity: ages 60–64 concentrate along the coastal port-industrial corridor and development zones, whereas ages 65+ cluster in districts and industrial neighborhoods. Among six coastal prefecture-level cities, Dalian and Panjin have stronger capacity and lower pressure; Huludao, Dandong, and Jinzhou pair weaker economies with higher pressure; Yingkou is intermediate. Conservatively, pension outlays for ages 60–64 equal 5.54%, 5.53%, and 4.79% of local output in Huludao, Dandong, and Jinzhou. Delayed retirement could reduce spending by 35.663 billion yuan annually (178.315 billion over five years). Policy should prioritize employment support in high-pressure cities and redirect freed funds to industrial upgrading and public services in Dalian and Yingkou.

OBE-Based Experimental Teaching Models and the Cultivation of Application-Oriented Talents in Non-government Universities

Xueqiang Tan, Xinpeng Cai, Mingzhu Huang, Jiajia Xing — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:09:01 +0800

Non-government universities shoulder the important mission of cultivating application-oriented talents, and experimental teaching serves as a key link in achieving competence orientation and quality development. In liberal arts experimental teaching, however, there remain several challenges. On the one hand, course objectives are insufficiently aligned with job requirements, and teaching design often remains at a theoretical level; on the other hand, although some universities have attempted to introduce virtual simulation platforms and project-based learning, the overall pathway still lacks systematic guidance. Grounded in the orientation of application-oriented education, this study proposes a curriculum system constructed through the six balanced dimensions, exploring optimization paths for liberal arts experimental teaching in non-government universities from overall design to teaching implementation. In doing so, it enriches localized research on experimental teaching in liberal arts, stimulates student initiative, enhances practical and innovative capabilities, promotes the integration of teaching and practice, and ultimately achieves the goal of cultivating application-oriented talents.

Acceptance and Influencing Factors of AI-Assisted Ideological and Political Teaching among Application-oriented University Students

Xiaobang Wu, You Chen — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:16:19 +0800

This study focuses on the acceptance of AI-assisted ideological and political teaching (IPT) by application-oriented university students and its influencing factors. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), an integrated model incorporating situational variables such as perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), teaching adaptability (TA), trust (TR), perceived ethical risk (PER), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), attitude (ATT) and acceptance (ACC) is constructed, and 209 valid samples are collected via questionnaire survey for empirical testing. The results demonstrate that PEOU significantly enhances PU, and both variables positively influence students’ ATT toward AI-assisted IPT. PU and ATT further contribute to students’ ACC of AI-assisted teaching. TR, SI, and FC also positively affect ATT, while PER has a negative effect. Among these factors, TR and FC demonstrate particularly strong impacts. Based on these findings, this study suggests that universities should improve the usability and pedagogical alignment of AI tools, strengthen students’ trust in AI-generated content, address ethical concerns, and offer adequate institutional support and training. This research extends the application of TAM in value-oriented educational contexts and provides practical implications for universities seeking to integrate AI technologies into ideological and political education (IPE).

Qinshao Wei, Yandong Bang, Xinyun Mai — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:25:31 +0800

In order to better explore the use of mango peel, this study involves pre-treating mango peel and combining it with Ganoderma lucidum and hawthorn to produce a compounded health tea. Sensory evaluation, polysaccharide content, and total flavonoid content were used as indicators to explore the effects of single factors such as the mixing ratio of mango peel to Ganoderma lucidum (w:w), the number of blanching times for mango peel, and the ripeness level of mango peel on the sensory quality and health benefits of the compounded tea. Based on the results of single-factor experiments, an orthogonal experimental design was adopted with sensory score as the main evaluation index to determine the optimal processing conditions. The results showed that the best formulation for mango peel compound health tea was a mango peel to Ganoderma lucidum ratio of 6:4, two blanching treatments, and mango peel at 70%–80% ripeness. Under these conditions, the total flavonoid content of the tea reached 19.6 mg/g, the polysaccharide content was 4.62 mg/100g, and the tea water was cool, clear, mellow, and sweet.

The Reconstruction of Female Subjectivity in The Poisonwood Bible: Navigating Dual Otherness in the Postcolonial Predicament

Lihui Li — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:37:09 +0800

Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible is a famous work in contemporary American literature, exploring the intersections of colonialism, gender, and trauma. While existing scholarship has analyzed the novel from postcolonial and ecofeminist perspectives, a systematic study focusing on the contradictory Otherness of its white female characters, as both complicit colonial agents and victims of patriarchy, and their narrative path to healing remains underdeveloped. This paper tries to discuss from this perspective. Employing the frameworks of the postcolonial The Other and feminist trauma theory through close reading, this study analyzes the narratives of the five women from the Price’s. It first examines how their trauma stems from a dual alienation, failed cultural intermediaries in the colonial context, and silenced subordinates within the patriarchal family, and becomes embodied through illness, physical strain, and death. The core argument posits that healing is achieved through narrative resistance. The women’s distinct voices constitute a polyphonic practice of recovery. By seizing their own discursive authority, they dismantle the monolithic, rigid narrative represented by Father Nathan, which conflates Christian dogma, patriarchal rule, and colonial conquest and reconstruct fluid, relational selves through non-exploitative connections with the land and people of the Congo. Thus, The Poisonwood Bible is not merely a critique of oppression but an ecofeminist parable demonstrating that narration itself is therapeutic. True redemption lies not in condescending salvation but in humble listening, adaptation, and interdependence, offering useful materials and examples into the complexities of identity in a postcolonial world.

Sewing Machine, Smartphone, and the “I”: A Study of Media Use Among Garment Workers in the Context of Alienation

Linxin Cheng — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:39:39 +0800

Based on fieldwork in Guangzhou’s “Zhongda Textile Circle”, this study explores how garment workers navigate alienation through mediatized practices. Employing participant observation and in-depth interviews, it identifies a triple-alienation dilemma—survival, social, and ideological—driven by the dual control of assembly-line logic and digital platforms. The findings demonstrate that workers are not passive victims of structural oppression; instead, they exert agency through digital media to reclaim private time, reconstruct social networks (both kinship and weak ties), and foster reflexive self-development. While these micro-resistance practices are fragmented and localized, they serve as vital tools for reclaiming subjectivity and emotional energy. Ultimately, the research highlights the pivotal role of digital media in the interplay between alienation and resistance, confirming that marginalized laborers remain active, independent subjects despite the pervasive constraints of modern industry.

Women in the Classical Polis: Social Roles and Legal Limitation in Athenian Society

Fangrui Luo, Enshi Hao — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:44:12 +0800

While Classical Athens is widely celebrated as the cradle of Western democracy, its political framework was fundamentally exclusive. This paper explores the paradoxical position of women within this system, analyzing the stark contrast between their indispensable social roles and their severe legal disenfranchisement. Utilizing historical and socio-legal analysis, the study examines women’s subjugation within the domestic sphere (oikos), their stratified economic contributions, and their limited yet symbolic participation in civic religious life. The findings reveal that Athenian women were systematically restricted through the institution of lifelong male guardianship (kyrieia), asymmetrical marriage and divorce regulations, and discriminatory inheritance mechanisms such as the epikleros system. Furthermore, a comparative assessment with Spartan society—where women enjoyed greater economic and physical autonomy—underscores the unique rigidity of Athenian patriarchal control. Ultimately, the paper argues that the celebrated “equality” of Athenian democracy was structurally contingent upon the systemic exclusion of women from all civic and judicial spaces. This research contributes to a critical reassessment of classical political institutions and provides vital historical context for understanding the foundational logic of gender inequality in Western socio-legal traditions.

Polarization and Rectification: Misbehavior of Giant Panda Fans—Manifestations, Causes, and Governance

Xinran Qin — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:47:45 +0800

Fandom culture, as a form of subculture, has garnered widespread attention across various sectors in recent years. The giant panda, a cherished species in China, has seen many individuals rise to online fame recently, propelled by live streaming and short videos, attracting a large number of fans. However, public incidents such as the “Warmth the Panda being hit” controversy have revealed concerns about the encroachment of pathological fandom culture into the “panda community.” Based on participatory observation of the Weibo super topic “Giant Panda He Hua”, this study finds that the frequent occurrence of misbehaviors—such as malicious rumormongering, rival-bashing, and attacking pandas or keepers, and disrupting normal zoo operations—is driven by several factors. These include some fans’ feelings toward giant pandas evolving from an “interest” into an extreme, profound, and constructed mother-child relationship, as well as blind conformity under group pressure and the erosion of group values among fans. Correcting this radicalized phenomenon requires a multi-pronged approach involving the state, platforms, panda institutions, fan communities, and individual fans. The goal is to guide fans to integrate with mainstream culture while expressing their emotions, thereby fostering their self-development through rational engagement with pandas.

Research on the Social Role Conflict Dilemmas in the Labor Process of Patient Escorts

Jinglong Li — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:53:43 +0800

At present, the academic community has shown interest in the emerging profession of “patient escort”, but there is still a lack of research on the micro-level labor process of these patient escorts. This study employed semi-structured interview methods and conducted interviews with 14 patient escorts to analyze the social role conflicts they encounter during their labor process. The study found that patient escorts face such social role conflicts, and they have adopted flexible practical strategies to cope with them. This research enriches the current empirical studies in the academic community regarding the micro-level labor process and psychological state of patient escorts.

Application and Performance Comparison of a CNN–LSTM Hybrid Neural Network for Power Load Forecasting

Wenwen Wang, Hui Zhang — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:57:43 +0800

Accurate and stable power load forecasting is essential for power system operation and planning. However, traditional single prediction models often exhibit limited performance when modeling complex load data characterized by strong nonlinearity and non-stationarity. To address this issue, this paper proposes a hybrid neural network model that combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for short-term power load forecasting. First, considering the temporal dependency and nonlinear characteristics of power load time-series data, both LSTM and CNN–LSTM forecasting models are constructed. Then, the hybrid model is systematically optimized by adjusting the number of convolutional layers, the structure of LSTM hidden layers, and different activation function configurations. Finally, the forecasting performance of the proposed model is evaluated and compared with that of the single LSTM model using root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The experimental results indicate that the CNN–LSTM model achieves higher forecasting accuracy and better generalization performance, and its predicted load curves show greater consistency with actual load variations. The proposed approach provides an effective solution for power load forecasting and offers valuable support for power system dispatching and planning.

From “Angels” to “Role Models of the Times”: A Discourse-Historical Analysis of Ningxia’s Media Coverage of Medical Aid to Benin (2006–2024)

Jingwen Yang, Hongmei Cui, Yue Zhang, Xiuyuan Zhang — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:03:29 +0800

China’s foreign medical aid teams are vital to health diplomacy, with local governments playing a pivotal role in discursive mediation. This study analyzes official reports on Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region’s medical aid teams to Benin from 2006 to 2024, employing Discourse-Historical Analysis (DHA) to examine how local media construct legitimacy narratives. Diachronic analysis reveals a shift from emotionally charged “humanitarian redemption” to strategic narratives of “technological empowerment” and “global governance partnership.” Through referential, predicational, and argumentation strategies, local media utilize the “recontextualization” mechanism to translate national diplomatic strategies into localized practices. The study highlights “technological governance” as an emerging soft power resource and provides empirical insights into vertical narrative transmission at the sub-national level.

Mingyan Li, Kuan Yan, Jianghua Liu — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:23:15 +0800

In the tea fruit intercropping system, intercropping between tea trees and fruit trees can enhance plant nutrient utilization advantages, and plant growth is closely related to the rhizosphere microorganisms of plants. In order to explore the community structure characteristics of rhizosphere soil microorganisms under tea fruit intercropping mode, Method: This study used the Illumina Novaseq sequencing platform to perform metagenomic sequencing on three types of rhizosphere soil, with tea tree monoculture and loquat tree monoculture as controls, to analyze the differences in rhizosphere microbial community structure between tea fruit intercropping. The NR annotation results showed that under the tea fruit intercropping mode, the abundance of the dominant phylum Actinobacteria showed a decreasing trend, while the abundance of Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria increased. The relative abundance of unclassified Acidobacteria, unclassified Actinobacteria of the dominant phylum Actinobacteria, and unclassified Actinobacteria of the phylum Actinobacteria all increased. The annotation results of COG functional genes showed that in the functional composition of rhizosphere soil microorganisms in tea fruit intercropping, functions related to amino acid transport metabolism occupy a dominant position, and compared with tea monoculture, the relative abundance of functions related to amino acid transport metabolism, energy generation, and conversion is significantly increased. The annotation results of KEGG functional genes showed that pathways related to metabolism occupy a dominant position in the functional composition of the three rhizosphere microorganisms, and compared with tea monoculture, the abundance of functions related to energy metabolism was significantly increased in tea fruit intercropping. After intercropping tea and fruit, their nitrogen fixation and disease resistance abilities were increased, soil fertility was improved, and energy metabolism was enhanced, significantly improving nitrogen metabolism and enhancing the growth status of tea tree roots.

Xiaoya Qin — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:13:50 +0800

This research aims to deeply analyze the characteristics and communication effects of pet influencers, propose targeted governance strategies, and simultaneously examine their impact on pet protection. Relevant theoretical foundations and research status are systematically sorted out through the literature research method. The content analysis method is employed to analyze the social media content of pet influencers, and the case analysis method is used to select typical pet influencer cases for in-depth exploration. The study finds that pet influencers can be categorized into three types: cute pets, skill-based pets, and personality-based pets. They exhibit significant communication effects in promoting pet culture, influencing social relationships, and driving the pet economy. However, current pet influencers face problems such as uneven content quality, over-commercialization, and insufficient protection of pet rights and interests. To address these issues, it is necessary to strengthen platform supervision, improve relevant laws and regulations, and enhance the literacy of bloggers. This research provides theoretical support and practical guidance for regulating the development of pet influencers and promoting pet protection.

Exploration of Evaluation Methods for Urban Renewal Outcomes: A Dual Case Study on the Renewal of Kunming’s Cultural and Creative-oriented Industrial Heritage Based on the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) Method

Shujing Li — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:20:43 +0800

Under the background of China’s national urban regeneration action during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, cultural and creative industries (CCI) have been entrusted with the mission of revitalizing obsolete industrial heritage and enhancing cultural soft power. Kunming has successively completed several CCI-oriented industrial heritage regeneration projects, such as Chunyu 937 and C86 Camellia Plaza, yet a systematic subjective performance evaluation tool is still lacking. This study, for the first time, applies the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) model to post-evaluation of CCI-led industrial heritage regeneration in Southwest China. An index system consisting of 6 dimensions and 17 indicators (traffic, heritage authenticity, cultural experience, retail mix, supporting facilities, and estate environment) was constructed. Data were collected through questionnaire surveys, GPS-POI tracking, and policy document analysis. Empirical comparisons between Chunyu 937 and C86 Camellia Plazawere conducted to examine whether the original design objectives have been achieved and to develop a replicable subjective-objective coupled health-check template. The results show that: (1) The IPA four-quadrant effectively identified common “high importance-low satisfaction” weaknesses—public transport last-mile connection, thematic consistency of retail, and density of public toilets/third-space restrooms; (2) Both cases basically fulfilled three image objectives—“heritage preserved, IP created, crowd attracted”, but three functional indicators—traffic, retail, and public service—remained significantly below expectation and fell into the IPA “concentrate improvement” zone; (3) Fiscal subsidies should be linked to IPA weakness improvement through an “annual review-dynamic adjustment” mechanism to shift showcase regeneration towards institutional regeneration. The study contributes to: (1) methodology by pioneering IPA application in post-evaluation of CCI-led industrial heritage regeneration in Southwest China; (2) data validation by cross-verifying subjective questionnaires with objective trajectory data; (3) policy innovation by embedding the “IPA health-check table” into update acceptance and subsidy-fuse mechanisms. The findings provide quantitative evidence for governments to allocate regeneration resources precisely and for operators to pursue continuous improvement, offering a demonstration for similar industrial heritage regeneration projects nationwide.

Against the backdrop of rural revitalization and agricultural modernization, traditional pig farming models are confronted with multiple challenges, including low efficiency, severe environmental pollution, and food safety risks. This study takes the “Zhu” Guang Yiyi—an AI-empowered rural ecological pig farming project—as the research object, and focuses on the deep integration of artificial intelligence with ecological breeding. It proposes a trinity development model integrating intelligent farming, ecological recycling, and data-driven management. By introducing Internet of Things (IoT) sensing devices, machine learning algorithms, and big data analytics, the study realizes intelligent management throughout the entire pig breeding process, including precision feeding, environmental regulation, and disease early warning. Meanwhile, a resource recycling system of “pig–biogas–fertilizer–planting” is established to enable the energy conversion and fertilizer utilization of livestock waste, thereby promoting green transformation in agriculture. On this basis, a data platform is employed to achieve coordinated optimization of production, management, and marketing, and to extend the ecological farming industry chain toward processing, e-commerce, and agri-tourism integration. The results indicate that AI technologies can significantly improve farming efficiency and resource utilization, while reducing disease risks and environmental burdens, providing a replicable and scalable technological pathway and practical paradigm for rural industrial revitalization.

Objective: The newly purchased automated nucleic acid assembly line must be verified to ensure compliance with ISO 15189 standards for medical laboratories before use. Methods: Multiple departments collaborate to complete installation qualification; operational qualification is conducted for five functional modules; performance verification is carried out using system performance verification panels, analytical sensitivity verification panels, reference materials, and specimens from voluntary blood donors. Results: Hardware and software installations meet the usage requirements of the detection system. The ATM-style self-service sample handover module, post-handover automatic sample refrigeration module, sample processing module, nucleic acid mixing and extraction module, and post-processing automatic sample refrigeration module are all operating normally. The concordance rates for HBV DNA, HCV RNA, and HIV-1 RNA were 100%. The detection rates for both pooled and individual testing modes were 100%, meeting the standard requirement of ≥ 95%. Neither a triglyceride concentration of 33 g/L nor a hemoglobin concentration of 5 g/L affected the detection of weakly positive samples at 3 times the limit of detection (LOD). In 20 repeated tests, the within-run coefficients of variation (CV) for HBV DNA, HCV RNA, and HIV RNA were 2.88%, 2.78%, and 2.49%, respectively, while the between-run CVs were 3.45%, 3.20%, and 2.42%. All results met the requirements of within-run CV < 10% and between-run CV < 15%.The results for negative controls were all non-reactive in 15 tests, while the detection results for HBV, HCV, and HIV at 3 times the limit of detection were all reactive, with coefficients of variation (CV) of 1.58%, 1.50%, and 1.08%, respectively, meeting the requirements for repeatability verification. Cross-contamination resistance was validated using a system performance panel. With positive samples evenly interspersed among negative samples, the detection of positive samples did not affect the results of the negative samples. A total of 34 specimens from voluntary blood donors were tested across 12 batches, and the results were fully consistent, meeting the requirements for parallel testing verification. Conclusion: The fully-automated nucleic acid processing system, after installation qualification, operational qualification, and performance qualification, complies with the requirements of ISO 15189 and meets the standards for nucleic acid testing in blood screening laboratories.

Cultural and creative products of universities are an external reflection of the university’s image. They are not only materialized artworks and carriers of beauty, but also a means of expressing emotions and cultural dissemination. Currently, the cultural and creative products of universities have problems such as severe design homogeneity, insufficient content, and weak audience stickiness. To address these issues, the essential characteristics of such products should be analyzed from the perspective of emotional design and the cultural value they embody. By combining the common student life backgrounds in daily life, such as learning, communication, commemoration, and gift-giving, the possibility of enhancing product quality and user experience through emotional design methods should be considered. Research shows that emotional design can effectively enhance students’ perception and identification with campus culture, help improve the dissemination strength and sustainability of innovative products of universities among students, and provide a reference basis for the design of cultural and creative products of universities.

Research Progress on the Current Status of Health Management of Patients with Severe Mental Disorders

Ruoxi Xiong — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:44:04 +0800

As a chronic disease with a prolonged course, high recurrence rate, and serious impairment of social function, severe mental disorder has become a global public health problem and social governance problem. Based on the theoretical perspectives of multicenter governance and collaborative governance theory, this paper systematically sorts out the current status of policy systems, resource allocation, service models, and social support for the health management of patients with severe mental disorders at home and abroad. The study finds that China has initially built a community-based and multi-departmental comprehensive management service system, but it still faces challenges in policy implementation, resource allocation, and social support. In the future, officials should strengthen the collaborative governance mechanism, optimize resource allocation, promote the construction of digital management and destigmatization of social support systems, and improve the accuracy and humanization of health management.

The Impact of Performance Anxiety on Stage Performance of Classical Vocal Singers and Intervention Strategies

Mengxi Hu — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:45:40 +0800

Classical vocal performance is an artistic endeavor highly dependent on live conditions. Performance anxiety remains a persistent challenge for singers at all stages, directly constraining their artistic expression and compromising the quality of classical vocal stage presentations. This study begins with a core definition of performance anxiety, systematically examining its specific impacts on singers’ physiological states, psychological cognition, and artistic performance. It analyzes three fundamental causes of anxiety formation: individual factors, environmental influences, and technical aspects. The research ultimately proposes four actionable intervention strategies—psychological regulation, optimized professional training, pre-performance preparation, and social support system development—to provide practical references for classical vocal practitioners in alleviating stage anxiety and enhancing performance consistency.

Comparison of Consumer Rights Protection Laws in Cross-border Consumption among China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea

Yusheng Zheng — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:49:14 +0800

Against the backdrop of regional economic integration in East Asia and the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, the scale of online cross-border consumption in China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea continues to rise, with issues such as jurisdictional conflicts in cross-border consumer rights protection, excessively high costs, and difficulties in evidence collection becoming increasingly prominent. This paper employs a comparative analysis approach to systematically examine the legal systems and core institutions for cross-border consumer rights protection in the three countries, compare their similarities and differences as well as advantages and disadvantages, and delve into the underlying causes of difficulties in rights protection. From two dimensions—domestic legislative optimization and regional collaboration—the paper proposes targeted and feasible solutions. The study reveals that while the legislative philosophies of the three countries are convergent, significant differences exist in institutional details. Only by addressing legislative shortcomings and establishing a transnational rights protection collaboration mechanism can the challenges in cross-border rights protection be overcome, consumer rights and interests be safeguarded, and the healthy development of cross-border trade among the three countries be promoted.
