Research on the Social Promotion of Animal Protection Concept in the Self-media Environment
Authors: Geng Moran
Published: June 2023

Based on previous research, this study integrates and summarises the roles of existing animal video publishers and the main contents of their videos in a self-media environment, and discusses the focus of the videos produced under different production motives on the dissemination of animal protection concepts, explores the social benefits of the videos in promoting the cause of animal protection, and seeks a more suitable development and promotion method for the promotion of animal protection concepts in the self-media era. The video is a more suitable direction and way to promote animal protection. Video on the self-media platform has a more personalised and non-compulsory nature than traditional mass media. Due to their different roles, different video publishers have different motives for producing videos, such as expressing their opinions and hobbies, promoting their organisations or seeking help, or promoting the cause of animal protection. The content of the videos corresponds to the identity of the video publisher. Individual publishers tend to share their daily life or express their opinions, so their videos are often more interesting and less professional, which is conducive to wide distribution on the platform. Group publishers are usually more polished but more commercial in nature. Organisational publishers often produce videos to promote their organisation or seek help, while official publishers such as NGOs tend to be more pure and professional in promoting ideas and popularising science. Depending on the type of video content, videos on animal topics on self-publishing platforms have had different impacts on society, such as creating an atmosphere for animal protection, creating public opinion to fight for animal rights, and conveying animal protection ideas and related knowledge. The closed loop between the identity of the publisher of the animal video, the content and motivation of the video and the social impact helps to achieve a more comprehensive and personalised dissemination and popularisation of animal protection ideas on the less well-planned and less structured self media platforms.

Authors: Liu Lanjun
Published: June 2023

With the continuous development of Internet technology and mobile communication technology, the penetration of video websites and video apps is increasing. In the environment of new media, mobile video has become the most popular social platform due to its low creation threshold, easy homogenization, and information fragmentation. If video creators want to gain online traffic, they must optimize their strategies and increase visibility of their videos. Therefore, in such a short video era, this paper investigates how the creative class uses video platforms to compete for visibility and get more traffic. Through the lens of the uses and gratifications theory, it finds that due to China's unique cultural background, Douyin's algorithmic recommendation mechanism gives priority to content in line with mainstream social values. The emergence of short video as a medium has brought great changes to Internet users.

The dialogue process between China and ASEAN was officially launched in 1991. Over the past three decades, the bilateral relations between them have made remarkable achievements and become a model of cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, China and ASEAN have developed closer ties and made great progress in cooperation in political security, economic trade, health security and other fields. Today, ASEAN has surpassed the United States and the European Union to become China's largest trading partner. This paper discusses the necessity of cooperation between China and ASEAN in the post-epidemic era. For China, ASEAN is an important strategic pivot to safeguard its neighborhood security. China has always followed an ASEAN-centric strategy, and its vaccine diplomacy during the pandemic has been very effective, which has boosted its relations with ASEAN. For ASEAN, its internal vulnerability has forced it to rely on external powers, with China being one of its preferred powers because of its geographical location and close economic ties. As to global order, the US pivot to Asia and the more serious friction between China and the US during the pandemic era make it necessary for China and ASEAN to work together to maintain the unity of the Asian region.

Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: June 2023

False memory can be easily formed, and in some circumstances, it can be behaviourally or phenomenally indistinguishable from true memory. It is certain that memory is prone to be erroneous without consciousness. People can be persuaded to remember a certain event that is not real, in the case of forming false memory related to criminal behaviors, this would lead to a further false confession and police intervention. The present study explored the influencing factors of false memory and found four main influencing factors: the credibility of the interviewer, suggestive interview, incontrovertible evidence with true details, and external environment. Current research and experiments are referenced to support and explain the possible factors that could increase the chance for people to generate false memory regarding criminal behaviors. Even though implanting false memory related to crime seems impractical, the study aims to state that with the use of certain techniques and tactics, the memory of people can be readily distorted in an experimental setting. In other words, generating a false memory of committing a crime is achievable. The purpose of the research is to indicate the potential for false memory of criminal acts to be deliberately implanted in people, trying to extend the awareness and focus of police and judges on the area of false memory relating to crime.
The Judgment of Torture
Authors: Yan Chenxin , Li Jinchuan , Peng Jingyang , Huang Shutong
Published: June 2023

Whether torture is justifiable or feasible is a long-lasting debate between consequentialists and deontologists which involves human morality and ethics. This essay evaluates the legitimacy and feasibility of torture, examining the reasoning behind both utilitarian and deontological approaches. The essay is based on a thought experiment: the ticking bomb scenario, in which a terrorist places a bomb that can kill the city's entire population, and the terrorist is captured by the police. The dilemma here is to determine whether we should torture the criminal to save the people in the city. Our discussion expands on Michael Moore's idea of threshold deontology, verifying the rationality of his reasoning. We conclude that torture is never morally justified, so it should be prohibited. However, defendants should have the justification of necessity.

However, different schools of feminism did have some influence on the construction of the porn industry, while lacking substantial and prominent achievements. The polarized tension caused the absence of critical perspectives on the porn industry, thence the less effective strategy toward it.
Analysis of Gender Inequality in Workplace based on Maternity Policies in First-tier Cities in China - Shanghai as an Example
Authors: Yin Jiayue , Wei Chengyi
Published: June 2023

Gender discrimination is a long-lasting social problem in China and it is reflected in various ways. Currently in China, there are existing laws and policies to guarantee womens rights in workplace through different approaches, such as the establishment of maternity leave, maternity subsidy and special care for women employees. However, these political actions are not sufficient to eradicate the underlying gender discrimination. On the surface, they seem to reduce the financial burden of women employees. However, the burden does not disappear, but instead are transferred to the employers. Enterprises have to spend extra expenditures to cover the financial loss during women employees whole maternity process, which exacerbates the discrimination. These laws and policies for women, such as the maternity leave, incur extra expenditures, even financial loss, on the part of employers, which exacerbates gender discrimination, as hiring a woman employee becomes a financially unwise decision. According to existing surveys, some women employees face a shrink in salary or demotion after maternity. Others are even rejected during the interview stage because of their gender, which indicates future maternity. Therefore, to address the issue from the root, it is suggested that the government should cover more expenditure of the enterprises involved in compensating for maternity leaves of female employees. With a financial relief, enterprises would be less likely to continue their gender discrimination.

The Relationship between Emotion and Working Memory Performance
Authors: Yang Yi
Published: June 2023

Working memory is modelled as multi-sectional, making possible reference to its need of updating and the limited capacity. Emotion is the intrinsic cognitive process divided into pleasure or displeasure outcomes, and can both be a factor to the memory or a result of memory. The manipulation of emotional stimuli in working memory can somehow increase ones abilities of updating and expanding the capacity. Anxiety is the negative result of emotion regulation, which contributes to a poor performance on working memory tasks. A negative assocation was found between these two aspects. On the contrary, the emotion regulation ability can be improved through training of the working memory. It was concluded that there is a possible correlation between working memory and emotion, whilst the direction may be unclear to some extent. Future research should examine the specific dirctions of this relationship more comprehensively. This review can provide some guidance to future internveiton studies and pactices regarding emotion and working memory in children at schools.
The Atypical Emotional Development in Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder and Relevant Interventions
Authors: Gu Jiaxin
Published: June 2023

Bipolar disorder (BD) has become a serious mental problem in the group of adolescents. The main symptoms of BD are depression, (hypo)mania, anxiety, and functional disabilities. The symptoms of the two subtypes of BD are different. The problem is that the probability of misdiagnosis is high, which may cause the non-serious symptoms to exacerbate. The methods of researching atypical emotional development include measuring the level of mood instability and examining the deficit in facial emotion and family factors. The symptoms of BD patients are highly connected with a high level of mood instability and a high level of inappropriate self-sacrifice from parents and relatives. The deficit of facial emotion is also one of the atypical processes. Dialectical Behavior Treatment is useful to decrease the level of depression and relieve BD symptoms. The probability of adolescents having BD is associated with mood instability. BD patients showed faster reactions to fearful faces and made mistakes in processing angry faces. Therapy barely influences BD symptoms, but dialectical behavior therapy had a great effect in remitting symptoms of BD. In that case, future study should pay more attention to the atypical emotional development and the precautions. This review can provide some guidance to relevant future intervention studies and practices for at-risk adolescents.

Authors: Yao Yuanyuan
Published: June 2023

Perceiving self is one of the crucial issues discussed in psychology. Studies have suggested that the evaluation of the self could be manipulated by divergent factors and operations. Some experiments proved the variability of self-concept. A typical instance is the rubber hand illusion, causing a discrepancy between the visual and tactile sensation and the confusion of identity. Enfacement illusion, similarly, have the resembling influence but focuses on the human face instead of the hand. Its an important phenomenon with the significant meaning of being related to the perception of self and other. The impact of the enfacement effect on one's perspective of oneself and that of others was examined through the analysis of recent research, with further implications given. Discussions done in this paper could make contributions in the area of comprehension of self and other. First, various fingdings bring up the individualized irregularity that emerged among people. Second, according to plenty of studies, enfacement has the potential to encourage the establishment of relationships with more intimacy. Thirdly, studies on illusions other than the perception of faces were conducted, and they demonstrated similarities to the enfacement illusion's effect. Limitations of not elaborating on compound factors associated exist in previous research. Addition explorations are required for examining the causation of values altered. This review can provide some suggestions for intervention studies and applications in children with social functioning deficits.

Abnormality of Reward Sensitivity in Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder
Authors: Li Yufei
Published: June 2023

Bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are two major psychiatric disorders that both involve a reward system abnormality. This paper reviews studies on the hyper/hyposensitivity model, also known as the Behavior Approach System (BAS), that emphasize the role of abnormal reward processing in patients with BD and MDD. The paper concludes that BD patients' extremely high reward sensitivity causes manic-related symptoms as well as bipolar depressive symptoms. On the contrary, MDD patients' extremely low reward sensitivity leads to unipolar depressive symptoms such as anhedonia and loss of motivation. Furthermore, this paper discusses the hyper/hyposensitivity model's utility in three areas: how it can aid in disease differentiation and prediction, and how it can be used to develop potential treatments. Because reward sensitivity can be measured using reward tasks, predicting the onset of BD and MDD, making the correct diagnosis, and developing treatments will be easier if the relationship between sensitivity and diseases is clear.

General self-efficacy depends on self-belief and the external environment. For college students, the competition among universities for ranking serves as an external environment. In this study, the author demonstrates the impact of competition among universities for ranking on college students' general self-efficacy. A growth mindset, which refers to the belief that one's abilities can be developed over time, is proposed to moderate this effect. Three questionnaires collected 43 students' responses on their awareness of university ranking, general self-efficacy, and mindset. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to produce the results. The results suggest that gender is a significant moderator and that a growth mindset functions as a practical means for increasing a students general self-efficacy in the context of competitive higher education. The study found that male students were positively affected by the competition among universities for ranking, while female students were negatively affected. The findings highlight the importance of jointly considering university prestige, gender, and mindset to understand general self-efficacy.

Combined with the actual situation in China, it analyzes the feasible methods of formative assessment in China such as diverse formative assessment in different subjects and the problems it may face, such as the large population base and the shortage of education funds.
