Research on the Application of Case Teaching Method in Middle School’s Ideological and Political Courses
Authors: Li Changjian
Published: December 2024

With the introduction of a new round of curriculum reform and the “double reduction” policy, the evaluation of ideological and political courses throughout China is increasingly moving away from the traditional mode of memorization, instead of focusing on students’ judgment ability, logical thinking ability, and problem-solving ability. Therefore, reforming traditional classroom teaching methods and improving students’ various abilities in a short time has become a top priority thing in today’s education. The case teaching method plays a key role in cultivating students’ various abilities and improving teaching effectiveness by organizing them to analyze cases. Therefore, it has received increasing attention from frontline teachers in middle schools. Based on analyzing the connotation, characteristics, and significance of the case-based teaching method, this article focuses on pointing out the shortcomings of using the case-based teaching method in today’s classroom teaching, such as insufficient analysis of cases by teachers, relatively single presentation of cases by teachers, and relatively single evaluation of students’ understanding of cases by teachers. It also proposes three targeted measures such as actively establishing a case resource library, learning various teaching methods to enrich case presentation methods, paying attention to students’ sense of achievement, and evaluating them promptly.
Analyzing the Impact of Emotional Cue and Color Tone on Film and Drama Posters with Eye Tracking
Authors: Yu Junyi
Published: December 2024

Starting from the 19th century, posters have been a primary means of visual communication in advertising. The design of posters can have different impacts on the audience. The factors that influence the communication effectiveness of posters and how to enhance their promotional capabilities have been a focus for both scholars and designers. Posters are also extensively utilized in the film and theater industries as promotional tools. This study investigates the effects of emotional cue (positive and negative) and color temperature (warm and cool) in film and theater posters on viewers. Two posters with positive emotions and two with negative emotions were used as stimuli. Each poster was then adjusted to represent both warm and cool color tones. Participants were presented with four types of posters: positive mood with warm color, positive mood with cool color, negative mood with warm color, and negative mood with cool color. An eye tracker was incorporated into the experiment to record the participants’ viewing process. The gaze data reflects and quantifies individuals’ responses to the different poster types. Data analysis revealed that posters with negative moods attracted attention more quickly from viewers, as indicated by a shorter Time to First Fixation value. Posters with positive moods received more overall attention during the viewing process, which have higher Total Fixation Duration and Fixation Counts. However, the analysis of color temperature showed that there was no significant difference between cool and warm toned posters in any of the eye-tracking metrics, suggesting that the impact of color temperature on the effectiveness of posters was not significant. This study advances the understanding of the mechanisms by which emotional-driven visual attention operates and offers insights and guidance for poster designers in film and theater industries.

A study of drama translation from the perspective of feminist translation -- A case study of The Romance of the Western Bower
Authors: Zhang Renyuan
Published: December 2024

The theory of female translation originated from the western feminist movement. This theory regards translation as a political activity, pays more attention to the translator’s subjectivity and creativity in the process of translation, and tries to promote the spread of feminism through translation. This paper explores the specific application and limitations of feminist translation theory in practice through the study of the English translation of The Romance of the Western Bower(a classical Chinese literature written by Wang Shifu). According to comparative studies, female translators are generally more likely than male translators to pay attention to how female roles are portrayed in the target text and to use certain translation techniques to lessen the prejudice against female roles in the source text and attempt to balance out the gender differences. From the perspective of feminist translation theory, this paper also reveals the influence of the social background centered on male discourse power on women’s lives in ancient China.

Authors: Tang Ziqing
Published: December 2024

For a long time, the study of The Iliad has mainly focused on the fate of the main characters and the will of the gods, especially the analysis of the characters and the moral conflicts. However, little attention has been paid to the role of object description. However, descriptive objects play a vital role in shaping narrative flow and thematic resonance. Through close reading and analysis of the text, this paper argues that how Homer uses detailed descriptions of these objects to slow down the rhythm of the narrative and create pauses in the action, thereby increasing the emotional impact of important moments, and how can everyday objects carry deeper symbolic meanings to connect ordinary details to big themes like heroism, destiny, and the role of gods. This article provides a new analytical perspective and understanding of how Homer tells his story, and shows how detailed descriptions of objects help maintain the wholeness of the story and add to its deeper meaning. These findings suggest that paying more attention to object descriptions can help us better understand ancient epics and the spiritual civilizations behind them.

The Literary Practice to “Suit All Taste” in Zhao Shuli’s Works
Authors: Wang Hanzhen , Zhong Junyi
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, the literary practice of some writers has presented a “Fusion of elegance and vulgarity” writing style. “Elegance” and “Vulgarity” have been important angles of view for scholars to understand Chinese literature and art since ancient times. Therefore, based on collecting relevant authoritative literature, this paper analyzes some academic research results and explores the literary creation style of “Suit all taste” in Zhao Shuli’s works. This paper shows that the relationship between “Elegance” and “Vulgarity” is dynamic and the boundary between them is fuzzy. There are also several limitations when defining both of them. As a typical feature of Zhao Shuli’s novels, “Suit all taste” is embodied in artistic form, characterization, and ideology. This kind of creation idea not only affects the local literature but also has a profound influence on modern and contemporary literature, providing the theory support for the literature creation. From this, “Elegance” and “Vulgarity” mutual integration, is an important element of modern literary creation.

How Does Working Memory Capacity Affect the Accuracy of Simultaneous Interpreting
Authors: Wang Danhong
Published: December 2024

Simultaneous interpreting is an intricate and demanding task that requires real-time translation between languages. This complex process involves the interpreter listening to the source language, processing the information, and simultaneously delivering it in the target language. Such a task places considerable demands on cognitive resources, especially working memory, which is crucial for retaining and manipulating information over short periods. This paper delves into the impact of variations in working memory capacity on interpreting accuracy, with particular attention to the cognitive challenges posed by multitasking and managing cognitive load. By synthesizing existing research, the paper explores the connection between working memory capacity and interpreting performance, revealing that interpreters with higher working memory capacity are generally more accurate in their translations. Moreover, the review highlights cognitive strategies like chunking—breaking information into manageable units—and anticipation, which enable interpreters to cope with the substantial cognitive load inherent in simultaneous interpreting. These findings emphasize the vital role of working memory in the interpreting process and suggest that focused training on enhancing cognitive skills could lead to significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency, particularly in high-stakes environments where precision is critical.

Many Chinese musical theatre producers blindly introduce foreign productions and lack the ability to independently produce original musicals. However, in the process of introducing Korean musicals, localization adaptations often suffer from the problem of “not used to the local environment”. This study aims to explore the localization adaptation of the Korea musical “Fan Letter” according to different national conditions after its introduction to China, and through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, to summarize the audience’s attitudes towards the localization adaptation and to analyze the reasons for the audience’s different attitudes. The study found that the Chinese version of “Fan Letter” transplanted the original story background to the “isolated island” period in Shanghai, which resulted in a rigid plot logic about “literary salvation”, an empty character characteristic about “pure literature”, and a controversial “refinement” of stagecraft and costumes. This study reveals the root emptiness brought about by the unsuccessful localization of cultural products and provides new ideas and perspectives for the localization adaptation of imported plays in the future.

This study aims to explore how the Korean drama “The Glory” influenced college students’ perceptions and attitudes towards school bullying between 2023 and 2024. Through a questionnaire survey of 276 freshmen to senior students at C University in Bengbu City, Anhui Province, along with one focus group and two in-depth interviews, the research found that “The Glory” significantly increased college students’ awareness of school bullying. The drama strengthened students’ reflection on the root causes of school bullying, promoted their pursuit of justice and rights protection, and emphasized the importance of mental health development. It also enhanced students’ anti-bullying awareness and self-reflection, increased their attention to the balance between artistic expression and social issues, and encouraged them to seek more TV series addressing social topics. This study reveals the role of “The Glory” in shaping college students’ value orientations and analyzes the function of Korean popular culture in raising social awareness, providing a new perspective for understanding the dissemination effects and influence of Korean bullying-themed TV series on Chinese university campuses.

Authors: Yao Zirui
Published: December 2024

The cardiovascular system is an significant system which transports various metabolic essential substances to the body and excretes respiratory metabolites from the body to maintain the basic needs of the human. Cardiovascular disease is a widespread disease with a high mortality rate, which poses a great threat to the health of the population. This study analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Monitoring System (BRFSS) to build a predictive model to assess which behavioral factors are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. The data included 13,210 clinical samples and 11 variables such as Exercise, Smoking-History. The target variable is whether the patient has been diagnosed with heart disease. In this study, a logistic regression model was used to process the data of BRFSS. It was concluded that the incidence of cardiovascular disease was positively associated with age, history of smoking, having other cancers and having depression, while fruit-consumption and exercise had an inhibitory effect on the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The accuracy of the training set was about 95.95% and the prediction results of the model were found to be acceptable after fitting. In order to better predict the association of heart disease with behavioral factors, more comprehensive clinical data and more advanced analytical techniques are needed. This model provided assistance for studying the induction of heart disease by behavioral factors.
