Authors: Li Ruoxi
Published: September 2024

Under the background of an increasing number of multinational corporations, it is noteworthy that they can bring great benefits and harm to host states at the same time. Consequently, it is necessary for host states to build up effective regulations to deal with potential risks. This essay chooses to take China as an example. As the biggest developing country in the world, how to regulate foreign investments has become an imperative issue if China wants to achieve further and sustainable development. By introducing its current legislative system and displaying cases, this essay analyzes the deficiencies of the current regulation system from legislative and judicial aspects. Based on the above analysis, this paper also attempts to explore possible solutions to make up for the weaknesses. Ultimately, the author agrees to construct a more exclusive and comprehensive legal system for MNEs in China and refine the prevailing judicial remedies. The main methods used in this paper are literature analysis and comparative analysis.
Protection of Seafarers' Rights and Interests by International Treaties
Authors: Su Yuchen
Published: September 2024

In 2006, the ILO adopted the Maritime Labour Convention, which has had an important impact on the rights of seafarers worldwide and the promotion of the international maritime industry. In recent years, China's labor and social security legal system has been gradually improved, and legal norms such as the Regulations on Seafarers and the Maritime Traffic Safety Law have been promulgated and implemented successively, laying a certain foundation for the system of labor norms for seafarers. However, these special legislation has some limitations, such as not strong operability and not identical with the international treaty system. This paper mainly studies the framework structure and implementation mechanism of maritime labor conventions, finds out China's application method of international law, and puts forward the shortcomings of China's implementation process and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions suitable for the current situation of Chinese seafarers. By combining theory with practice, this paper uses literature analysis and analysis deduction to find out the strategies that can optimize the implementation mechanism in China. At present, China has made a lot of preparations for the implementation of maritime labor conventions, carried out a lot of legislative activities, and has already acquired relevant legislative experience and technology. Improving the labor supervision system and making full use of the tripartite mechanism platform and industry associations are the top priorities for China to better implement international conventions and protect the rights and interests of seafarers in the next stage.
Effects of Homophone Priming on the Decision-Making in Perceptual Color Recognition of Mandarin Speakers
Authors: Li Boyang
Published: September 2024

This study delves into the nuanced interactions between language, cognition, and perception by examining the impact of homophones on decision-making and perceptual color recognition among native Mandarin speakers. Drawing on theories of linguistic relativity and cognitive processing, this research hypothesized that homophonic primes would subtly influence both decision-making processes and color recognition tasks. Participants were assigned at random to surveys where they were unknowingly exposed to stimuli with and without homophonic primes before engaging in color recognition tasks involving subtle shade differentiations. Contrary to initial expectations, statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in decision-making accuracy between conditions, suggesting that homophones may not overtly affect conscious decision-making processes in our bilingual cohort. However, intriguing variations emerged in the perceptual color recognition task, where participants exposed to homophonic primes showed tendencies to perceive color shades more similarly compared to those in the control condition. This finding implies a potential cognitive load effect or subtle priming influence on perceptual categorization tied to linguistic structures. The implications of these findings challenge traditional views on language's role in shaping cognitive processes, highlighting the complexity of how linguistic structures such as homophones may operate at subconscious levels. The study contributes to ongoing debates in cognitive science and linguistics by underscoring the need for nuanced approaches to understanding cross-linguistic cognitive mechanisms. Future research should further explore the Whorfian hypothesis within bilingual contexts, considering additional variables such as language proficiency and cultural influences to elucidate the intricate relationship between language and cognition.
Origins of InequalityCaste
Authors: Zheng Huien
Published: September 2024

Caste discrimination has a profound impact on the social, economic, cultural and political spheres in India and its neighboring countries. The caste system has had far-reaching effects in these areas, hindering social mobility and economic development for many. This paper focuses on the caste issue and its impact on lower-caste communities in India. The issue is deeply connected with various social challenges, including discrimination due to caste and sexual orientation, facing significant obstacles in expressing their identity, accessing social support, and securing equal rights. In education and health, the system leads to unequal access to resources for lower-classe students, resulting in high dropout rates and low tertiary enrollment, hindered their chances to improve their lives through education. Health is also impacted, as lower caste communities often live in areas with poor sanitation and limited healthcare access, leading to worse health outcomes and further deepening quality of life disparities.
Review of the Practice and Research on the Integration of International Curriculum in Chinese Schools
Authors: Yang Siying
Published: September 2024

With the acceleration of globalization, the integration of international curricula has become increasingly important in the field of Chinese education, aiming to cultivate talents with a global perspective and local wisdom. This review, through an in-depth examination of existing literature, reveals the current research status and trends in the field of international curriculum integration. The study finds that, despite significant progress in the introduction of curriculum systems, innovation in teaching models, and professional development of teachers, there are still issues such as insufficient exploration of the correlation between teaching models and student learning outcomes, a lack of systematic research on curriculum localization and cross-cultural competence development, and a need for more in-depth strategies to support the professional growth of teachers. Therefore, future research needs to further explore the empirical effects of teaching model innovations, systematic strategies for curriculum localization, and multi-dimensional approaches to promote the professional development of teachers, in order to advance the integration of international curricula and improve the quality of education.

Integrating LSTM Networks with Mean-Variance Optimization for Enhanced Portfolio Construction: An Empirical Study on UK Stock Market
Authors: Liu Shanshan
Published: September 2024

Portfolio optimization has long been a central theme in finance. With ongoing advancements in machine learning, there is a significant opportunity to integrate predictive methods into portfolio optimization. This paper proposes leveraging Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks alongside the established Mean-Variance (MV) optimization framework to construct optimal portfolios. These portfolios aim to help financial investors effectively manage and mitigate risk while maximizing returns. The study meticulously screened the leading stocks of 12 prominent UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), known for their influence and visibility. Initially, the study applies the LSTM networks to predict stock price volatility and integrates these predictions into the MV model to allocate portfolio weights effectively. To underscore the superiority of the proposed approach, the study compares cumulative returns from portfolios optimized for maximum and minimum variance Sharpe ratios with real data against the FTSE100 index over the same period. The results demonstrate that the portfolio optimized with the maximum Sharpe ratio significantly outperforms both the conservative minimum variance portfolio and the FTSE100 index. This empirical evidence underscores the practical value of integrating advanced machine learning techniques with established financial theory, enabling more innovative and efficient investment strategies to meet the evolving needs of financial investors.

Authors: Üzülmez Alper , Özhasenekler Ayhan , Çıvgın Esra , Şener Alp , Ergin Mehmet , Gökhan Şervan
Published: September 2024

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference on intra-abdominal organ injury in high energy blunt trauma patients presenting to the emergency department.

Material and Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study included patients who presented to the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Emergency Medicine Clinic between June 15, 2022, and December 31, 2022, due to high-energy blunt trauma and underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT). Patient demographics, vital signs, height, weight, BMI, mechanism of injury, abdominal injuries, injuries to other systems, abdominal circumference measurements, emergency department outcomes, and laboratory results were recorded in the data collection form. CT images were evaluated by a single radiology specialist, and abdominal circumference and subcutaneous fat tissue thickness were measured.

Results: A total of 374 patients were included in the study. 71.9% of the patients were male (n=269). The average age of the patients was 40 ± 16 years. Intra-abdominal injury was observed most frequently (30.8%) in patients with a BMI <18.5 (p=0.017). Although patients with intra-abdominal injury had lower sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), transverse external diameter (T-ext), subcutaneous fat (Sc-fat), and BMI averages, these findings were not statistically significant (p=0.321, p=0.666, p=0.172, p=0.595, respectively). Patients admitted to the intensive care unit had lower SAD (20.6 ± 4.0 cm), T-ext (30.7 ± 3.9 cm), Sc-fat (2.0 ± 1.0 cm), and BMI (24.9 ± 4.4 kg/m2) averages (p=0.003, p=0.009, p=0.006, p=0.007, respectively).

Conclusion: Patients with a BMI <18.5 were found to be more susceptible to intra-abdominal injury. Patients with lower abdominal circumference (SAD, T-ext), Sc-fat, and BMI values were more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit. Therefore, it is important to be cautious regarding abdominal injuries and injuries requiring intensive care admission in underweight and normal-weight patients who have experienced high-energy blunt trauma.

Rehabilitación cognitiva y nuevas tecnologías
Authors: Moreno Pérez F. Javier , Mora Roche Joaquín
Published: September 2024

Over the last three decades computer resources have gradually been introduced into psychological intervention. The contextof cognitive rehabilitation has probably been one ofthose in which this has occurred in a most intensive way. The continuous development of computer systems, the increasingly positive results of cognitive enrichment programmes and a greater demand of assistance for people with disabilities are some of the factors that have roused the interest of practitioners of different specialities in this field. The present article presents an introduction to cognitive rehabilitation software, while discussing some theoretical essential concepts and analysing a series of specific instruments considered representative of present approaches in the field.

Published: September 2024

This paper analyzes the current proposals for intervention in behavioral disorders, oppositional defiant disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, taking into consideration among others, variables such as comorbidity, risk factors and treatments recommended by effectiveness criteria. We review the programs and procedures most used and the strategies from scientific evidence, which enable clinical practice and assistance based on standards of effectiveness. Emphasis is also made on the limitations found in the literature and future research to develop on the subject. CITE AS:Moreno García, I. &  Meneres Sancho, S. (2011).

The efficacy of two interventions -systemic family therapy (SFT) and parents' support group + group therapy (PSG+GT)- to improve psychopathology and social adjustment, was investigated in outpatients with eating disorders (ED) for one year. Seventy one participants with ED (according to criteria from DSM-IV) were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups and assessed with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, SCL-90-R, BDI, Self Anxiety Scale and the Social Adjustment Scale at the beginning and at the end of treatment. Both treatments revealed significant improvement at posttreatment. SFT produced significantly greater improvement than did PSG+GT, especially in patients with bulimia nervosa (BN). The results provide support for the efficacy of this type of interventions to improve psychopathology and social adjustment in outpatients with eating disorders.

The Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (Segal, Williams and Teasdale, 2002) is a treatment of eight weeks of duration developed initially for the prevention of relapses in depression. In this article are presented the qualitative aspects of the application of a program in TCAP in users of two Units of Mental Health in the island of Tenerife with anxious and depressive symptomatology. 32 participants taken part in a study of efficiency of the TCAP answered a questionnaire of questions opened at the end of the treatment and three months after it finished. These texts were analyzed via a content analysis procedure. Results show that the TCAP has good levels of acceptance, and that the majority of participants notice changes in their way of thinking, of feeling, and their relation with the others.
Contradicciones y oportunidades en la formación del profesional de la Psicología de la Educación
Authors: VALLS GIMÉNEZ Enric
Published: September 2024

Based on his teaching experience, the author examines the potential reasons for which Educational Psychology has become a weak career option for Psychology students. The most significant challenges and opportunities for research and teaching in  Educational Psychology over the next years are considered: the new postgraduate training frameworks,the practicum, advantages to be obtained from including experienced practitioners in the training of educational psychologists, the generalization of novel teaching  methodologies such as problem-based learning, the formulation of conceptually strong models and interpretative frameworks, the sensibility towards emerging problems linked to new demands in formal and informal educational contexts, and the broadening of the field of Educational Psychology in the sense of not just centering intervention on pupils and, at the same time, deepening our understanding of the teaching and learning processes of specific curricular content.

Conductismo radical y práctica investigadora: ¿por qué es skinneriano el análisis experimental del comportamiento?
Authors: Benjumea Rodríguez Santiago , Fernández Serra Francisco , Arias Holgado Mª Francisca , Gómez Sancho Luis E.
Published: September 2024

The core of this paper lies more within the perspective of analyzing the processes involved in the development of scientific activity, than in the study of formal characteristics of scientific outcomes. The aforementioned approach is carried out from the Skinnerian theory of behaviour (operant conditioning). Thus, three moments of scientific activity are examined: a) the selection of scientific datum as discriminative verbal behaviour, b) the establishment of relations between variables understood as the detection of contingency relations between events and, c)the derivation of new concepts asa case of rule-governed behaviour. Moreover, the methodological characteristics implicit in the practice of The Experimental Analysis of Behaviour (TEAB) are contrasted with the previously proposed ideas. Finally, the paper concludes that the aforementioned characteristics of the TEAB are highly consistent with the analysis of scientific activity as operant behaviour, indicating the high level of coherence reached by the radical behaviourists in relation to, on the one hand, the formal aspects of their investigative practice (TEAB) and, on the other hand, the contents of their theoretical productions (operant conditioning).
Actitudes del personal laboral penitenciario hacia la intervención e inserción social de los reclusos
Authors: Moreno Jiménez Mª Del Pilar
Published: September 2024

Work presented here is part of an intervention and research project carried out in a prison with the general objectives of improving the quality of life of drug dependent inmates. The project, lasting three years, was an ideal setting for studying the opinions of the prison personnel. Using writen and anonymous questionnaires, data from a sample of employees was gathered. Results reflect personnel's criticism of the institution, as well as a lack of confidence in the possibility of any behavioural change in inmates. They show a negative vision of what prisoners can learn in an institution and of the chances of social insertion. The article ends with some reflections about the importance of prison personnel's expectations and work in order to achieve positive results during imprisonment.

This article proposes a way of tackling students with behaviour problems from the point of view of School Counselors Team that intervene in Early Childhood and Primary Education. This approach is based on the authors’ own experience. The startingpoint takes into account the contributions of Evolutionary Psychology and the Behavioural Systems Perspective. School participates in a group of related systems in which these behaviour problems may arise, which mostly generate added stress and represent a challenge for the concerned professionals. Thus, a series of actions and procedures called “good practices” are presented. They are aimed at involving the formal structures of every school so as to channel and solve these problems properly as well as cooperate with other systems -families, health units, and social services- and try to minimize side effects that are likely to rise when intervening. To conclude, the full cooperation of all the systems involved and the training of education professionals in the knowledge and use of evidence-based programmes are deemed necessary to provide alternatives that help to overcome the difficulties derived from these students with behaviour disorders. CITE AS:García Romera, A., Arnal Gimeno, A.B., Bazanbide Binaburu, M.E., Bellido Gómez, C., Del Calvario Pérez, M., Civera Marín, M.B., González Ramírez, M.P., Peña Capapey, R.A., Pérez Aldaz, M. & Vergara Arroniz, M.A. (2011).
