Empowering Women in Rural China: Redefining Roles and Reducing Gender Divides Through Online Selling in Family Farming
Authors: Fang Han
Published: October 2023

This research investigates the emerging role of women in online selling for family farming in rural China, examining their contributions, the challenges they face, and the societal perceptions surrounding their involvement. Existing research has revealed the negative impact of gender stereotypes on women's involvement in agriculture and has also predicted the potential of e-commerce to disrupt traditional gender roles. However, it highlights that the impact of e-commerce on women's labor in rural areas may not automatically alter the existing power dynamics. Through nine interviews, the study reveals that women actively generate and implement the idea of online selling for their families, resulting in improved commercial success for their farms. However, their participation requires significant effort and dedication as they juggle online selling alongside their existing full-time jobs. The mental strain of this additional workload, combined with the demanding nature of the online selling platform, underscores the resilience and determination of these women. Despite their valuable contributions, family members often disregard personal gains and downplay their involvement as a family benefit rather than an individual pursuit, prioritizing traditional agricultural activities like planting. Moreover, they perceive success in online selling as an inherent quality of being a woman, rather than recognizing the acquired skills and expertise necessary for effective marketing and sales.

Authors: Wang Shiyi
Published: October 2023

Dying to Survive and Dallas Buyers Club are two films centered around realistic themes, exploring the challenges faced by patients. Despite their shared focus on healthcare conditions, the films differ in their portrayal, thematic perspectives, and cultural implications due to varying production origins and cultural contexts. In terms of presentation, Dying to Survive employs humor and exaggeration against the backdrop of the drug trade, using satire and comedy to highlight Chinas healthcare system flaws and societal issues. Conversely, Dallas Buyers Club prioritizes realism, grounded in actual events and characters, shedding light on problems within the American healthcare setup. From a thematic standpoint, Dying to Survive probes Chinas medical system intricacies, legality of drug trade, and patients struggles. It tells a tale of ordinary individuals battling to survive and help others, critiquing and urging reform in Chinas medical landscape. On the other hand, Dallas Buyers Club delves into the US healthcare system, focusing on a protagonist who sells drugs illicitly for survival. The narrative confronts the mainstream medical establishment, evoking questions and introspection on Americas healthcare system. Culturally, Dying to Survive mirrors Chinese values, showcasing altruism and disdain for exorbitant drug costs. Meanwhile, Dallas Buyers Club mirrors American ideals of individual rights and freedoms, depicting one persons quest for survival and liberty, embodying core American values.

Rethinking the Long Standing Phenomenon of Silent Chinese Students Supported by the Cultural Dimensions Theory of Hofstede
Authors: Liu Yu Rui
Published: October 2023

This article examines this phenomenon after studying the previous literature on silent students. With the surge in the number of Chinese students, more and more foreign universities have their presence, so the characteristics of Chinese student groups have become a favorite research direction of many Western scholars. The main arguments of this paper are 1) The impression of Chinese students can be summarized by the following keywords: silent, passive, and inflexible; 2) Although the descriptions are close to reality, most of the current research is limited to criticizing and judging arbitrarily, which makes these studies inevitably one-sided, self-righteous, and therefore lacking a comprehensive attitude; 3) Different cultural heritage and historical backgrounds will cause significant differences in the characteristics of local people; 4) The characteristics of Chinese students must not necessarily be negative. Consequently, this article reconsiders this problem from another perspective of cultural dimension theory. In the analysis process, this paper shows the differences between Chinese and Western cultures with the help of Hofstedes cultural dimension theory. It makes a comprehensive analysis based on Chinas socioeconomic and political conditions. Therefore, this paper contributes to putting forward some suggestions to improve the current education situation, emphasizing the significance of family and social education for students growth and character development.

Money laundering poses a significant challenge globally, involving using cash to conceal the origins of funds. With the rise of digitalisation and the adoption of financial technology (FinTech), the financial sector has been compelled to adapt to these changes. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the use of FinTech services, including digital banking, to address social distancing concerns and enhance customer convenience. Despite having an index of risk considered moderate for money laundering, Indonesia continues to be a destination for these types of illegal activities. Anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) programs must be implemented, especially in all financial service providers that Bank Indonesia oversees.Additionally, the internal audit function is crucial in identifying money-laundering activities within banks. However, there needs to be more research regarding integrating RegTech and evaluating internal audit functions in preventing money laundering in Indonesian banks. This paper aims to address this gap by examining the benefits of RegTech solutions and the role of internal audit functions in preventing money laundering. The findings can be used to enhance regulations and implement effective measurement to combat money laundering and illicit activitivities. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of Indonesia's membership in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to strengthen the country's AML framework and contribute to global policies on AML and countering the financing of terrorism.

However, the successful implementation of AI in SCM requires a deep understanding of both the domain-specific challenges and the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies. Thus, this paper proposes an overarching approach that facilitates collaboration between domain experts in SCM and AI experts, enabling them to jointly develop effective solutions.The paper begins by outlining the key challenges faced by SCM professionals, including demand volatility, complexities in inventory management, and dynamic market conditions. Subsequently, it delves into the challenges associated with developing AI solutions for SCM, including data quality, interpretability, and model transparency. To address these challenges, the proposed approach promotes close collaboration and knowledge exchange between SCM and AI experts. By leveraging the domain knowledge and experience of SCM experts, AI experts can better understand the special issues of SCM processes and tailor AI techniques to suit specific needs. In turn, SCM experts can gain insights into the capabilities and limitations of AI, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding the adoption and integration of AI in their supply chain planning operations. Furthermore, the paper discusses the importance of establishing a multidisciplinary team comprising experts from the fields of SCM, AI, and IT. This team-based approach fosters a holistic understanding of SCM challenges and ensures the development of AI solutions that align with business goals and practical constraints.In conclusion, this paper highlights the challenges in combining SCM and AI and proposes a collaborative approach to address these challenges effectively. By leveraging the expertise of both domain and AI experts, organizations can develop tailored AI solutions that enhance supply chain planning, improve decision-making processes, and drive competitive advantage. The proposed approach contributes to the successful integration of AI in SCM, ultimately leading to more efficient and resilient supply chains in the era of artificial intelligence.

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly applied in healthcare contexts, how AI recommendations should be explained to achieve higher user trust is yet to be determined. This study was aimed to investigate users' trust towards an AI-assisted healthcare decision support system under varied explanation formats and expert opinions. Twenty participants participated in a lab-based experiment where they were asked to complete a series of dosage adjustment tasks in chronic disease care scenarios with the help of a simulated AI-assisted decision support system. Four explanation formats and three types of expert opinions were examined. Data on subjective trust, task performance and physiological measures were collected. The results showed that explanation formats had significant effects on subjective trust, task performance and skin conductance. Expert opinion had significant effects on subjective trust and task performance. There existed an interaction effect on compliance rate between explanation format and expert opinion. It appears that AI recommendations that are explained by counterfactual reasoning way and supported by medical experts are likely to achieve higher user trust. The findings can provide references for better design of explainable AI in AI-assisted healthcare contexts.
The Consistency between Popular Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robots in Evaluating the User Experience of Mobile Device Operating Systems

This article attempts to study the consistency, among other auxiliary comparisons, between popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) robots in the evaluation of various perceived user experience dimensions of mobile device operating system versions or, more specifically, iOS and Android versions. A handful of robots were experimented with, ending up with Dragonfly and GPT-4 being the only two eligible for in-depth investigation where the duo was individually requested to accord rating scores to the six major dimensions, namely (1) efficiency, (2) effectiveness, (3) learnability, (4) satisfaction, (5) accessibility, and (6) security, of the operating system versions. It is noteworthy that these dimensions are from the perceived user experience’s point of view instead of any “physical” technology’s standpoint. For each of the two robots, the minimum, the maximum, the range, and the standard deviation of the rating scores for each of the six dimensions were computed across all the versions. The rating score difference for each of the six dimensions between the two robots was calculated for each version. The mean of the absolute value, the minimum, the maximum, the range, and the standard deviation of the differences for each dimension between the two robots were calculated across all versions. A paired sample t-test was then applied to each dimension for the rating score differences between the two robots over all the versions. Finally, a correlation coefficient of the rating scores was computed for each dimension between the two robots across all the versions. These computational outcomes were to confirm whether the two robots awarded discrimination in evaluating each dimension across the versions, whether any of the two robots systematically underrated or overrated any dimension vis-à-vis the other robot, and whether there was consistency between the two robots in evaluating each dimension across the versions. It was found that discrimination was apparent in the evaluation of all dimensions, GPT-4 systematically underrated the dimensions satisfaction (p = 0.002 < 0.05) and security (p = 0.008 < 0.05) compared with Dragonfly, and the evaluation by the two robots was almost impeccably consistent for the six dimensions with the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.679 to 0.892 (p from 0.000 to 0.003 < 0.05). Consistency implies at least the partial trustworthiness of the evaluation of these mobile device operating system versions by either of these two popular generative AI robots based on the analogous concept of convergent validity.
