Authors: Tan Luzi
Published: January 2024

Educational inequality in China has been a long-standing problem, but the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated its impact. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and its extreme spread have severely impacted education systems, creating new challenges for students and educators. The shift in learning styles from classroom to distance learning and campus closures have exacerbated existing inequalities, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue to ensure equal access to education for all students in China. By analyzing the disparate impacts of campus closures, distance learning, and access to technology on different socioeconomic statuses and regions and highlighting differences in educational opportunities, this paper explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated educational inequalities in China's education system. COVID-19 is exacerbating educational inequality by highlighting disparities in digital access, resource availability, and learning environments, making it harder for disadvantaged groups to access equal educational opportunities.

This is I, Hamlet the Dane: Hamlet and Kingship in Hamlet
Authors: Huang Yidan
Published: January 2024

Hamlet is Shakespeares most famous play. Scholars have engaged in extensive debates regarding the themes of revenge and procrastination in Hamlet. However, existing research falls short in fully exploring Hamlets thoughts on kingship and his relationship with power. Despite the extensive examination of Hamlets complex character, a more in-depth analysis from this perspective is warranted. This paper, therefore, aims to further explore the connection between Hamlet and political power from three key angles. Firstly, it examines Hamlets reflections on kingship as presented through the drama and his humanistic education. Secondly, it focuses on the political aspects of Hamlets self-generated philosophical musings about life. Lastly, it conducts a deep analysis of the father-son relationship. Through a collective analysis of these three aspects, this research seeks to unravel Hamlets thoughts on kingship and their influence. It reveals how Hamlet himself and significant figures in his life, such as his father and uncle, shape his political ideology and attitudes, as well as how Hamlets self-identity shapes his understanding of kingship issues.

Authors: Zhu Jun , Xu Hui
Published: January 2024

Adolescence is a critical developmental period characterized by a notable increase in the prevalence of depression and self-harming behaviors. Thus, understanding their interplay is crucial for intervention and prevention strategies. This study uses network analysis to investigate the characteristics of the depressive symptom network in non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents and identify potential intervention targets. Between June 2023 and October 2023, a total of 171 non-suicidal self-injury adolescents were recruited. The Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to assess depressive symptoms. Statistical analysis and visualization of the network were conducted using the R software. In order to make quantitative research on the depressive symptom network structure, indicators of closeness, strength, and betweenness were utilized to identify symptoms that play a central role in the net work. Network analysis unveiled a group of central nodes with significant influence, assuming pivotal roles in the network. The symptoms of felt sad, thought life as a failure, could not get going, felt that everything I did was an effort were central to the network. Furthermore, this network exhibited good stability and accuracy of edge weights. The findings from this study not only advance peoples comprehension of the connection between non-suicidal self-injury and depression in adolescents but also provide new insights for future intervention strategies. This research underscores the need for comprehensive approaches to address this intricate issue, offering guidance for precise interventions and clinical practices.

The Investigation of Machine Learning in Grammar Correction
Authors: Dai Zhiqi
Published: January 2024

As English continues to be the dominant language acquired by the majority of the global population, the demand for learning it is on the rise. Within English education, grammar plays a vital role and can now benefit from machine learning-based correctional applications. This paper explores various methods employed in prior research for grammar correction. Notably, the feature extraction method proves to be effective in capturing essential information from the text, resulting in more precise revisions of grammatical errors. The feedback filtering module will select valid improvement advice from users to develop more efficient application. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) which is a widely-used model can also be adopted to grammar correction due to its memorizing ability. In previous studies, these methods are tested to see their validity in English grammar correction. Results of feedback filtering module show that it can sort out users advice into useful and useless so that the modification of the application can be more accurate. In another experiment, the F-0.5 score of RNN is measured with several other models and RNN has apparent advantage over the majority in grammar error detection and correction. Admittedly, however, these methods still have space for further enhancement to provide high precision in correction. Means to eliminate possible errors and inaccuracy are urged to be found, but probably the only way out is the innumerable data fed to computers. This paper offers a comprehensive view of current study progress in the field and encourage new evolution.

Spatial Narration and Psychotherapy in Suspense Novels Taking "Shutter Island" as an Example
Authors: Wang Shiqi
Published: January 2024

In the 21st century, suspense novels have evolved and authors increasingly explore narrative theory and techniques. This study analyzes the employment of narrative techniques in Dennis Lehane's "Shutter Island" by applying Lefebvre's space theory. This theory links space with social production, infused with Marxist concepts, imparting social attributes to space, transcending its conventional geometric definition. The research delves into three dimensions: spatial practice, spatial representation, and the space of representation to expound on how the spatial narration in the text mirrors the psychological transformations of the characters. Characters' memories within the spatial context influence their actions, generating a sequence of spatial clusters. The emergence of new spaces and imagery impacts character cognition. The three enigmatic symbols in the text encode the protagonist's memories, unravelled through dreams, constructing a novel textual space. It is within this multifaceted interplay that the treatment of 'mental illness' is addressed. This analysis demonstrates how narrative techniques intertwined with spatial theory serve as a compelling medium to portray intricate psychological facets in Lehane's ""Shutter Island"."
Categorizing Social Movements as Successful or Failed: Exploring the Essence Contributing to Social Dynamic Balance
Authors: Wu Yuchen
Published: January 2024

Research on social movements has been continuously robust and of significant theoretical importance in the field of social studies. This paper argues that there is no definitive criterion for categorizing social movements into a binary standard of either success or failure. Social movements emerge to instigate societal or ideological transformations. By analysing various historical movements worldwide, the study finds that when social movements reach extreme positions and unleash devastating forces upon society, they often provoke counter-movements that seek to restore social equilibrium. Societal trends oscillate back and forth, much like a pendulum, and social movements function as agents that pull the pendulum towards the centre when it reaches its peak on one side. Therefore, social movements act as regulators contributing to the constant dynamic balance in society. This nuanced perspective can inform policymakers, activists, and researchers in their efforts to engage with and respond to social movements, fostering more informed and effective strategies for societal change and progress.
Nineteenth-Century Richard Wagner: Unconventional Female Roles and Emerging Feminist Discourse
Authors: Wang Ziying
Published: January 2024

Operas of the 19th century adhered to realism, often drawing inspiration from real-life situations. In the social context of the era, women were often relegated to positions of weakness and lacked societal status, rendering them subject to the scrutiny of male perspectives. However, Richard Wagner's operas distinguished themselves by endowing female characters with prominence and authority. This article seeks to investigate Wagner's effective empowerment of women, focusing on the plot and role analysis of Brnnhilde, the female character from "Die Walkre." Subsequently, a combination of document analysis and literature review are synthesized, showing the diverse perspectives of scholars who have examined Wagner's individualism and his portrayal of female characters in his operas. Ultimately, it is apparent that the formidable female figures in Wagner's operas boldly challenge prevailing social norms, embodying the essence of love and redemption. While scholars hold varying interpretations regarding Wagner's approach to feminism, it is irrefutable that these non-traditional female characters occupy central positions in his works, infused with profound emotions and at the core of dramatic storytelling.
On the Margin of Male Gaze: An Analysis of a Typical Category of Female Supporting Characters in Hitchcock's Works
Authors: Xu Xintong
Published: January 2024

Gender concepts within Alfred Hitchcock's films have long been a focal point of interest for feminist film scholars. This analysis delves into a recurring archetype of young, rejected women in Hitchcock's cinematic works, exemplified by characters like Miriam in Strangers on a Train, Midge in Vertigo, and Danielle in To Catch a Thief. The essay seeks to unravel the underlying gender ideologies associated with these characters. Through this examination, it becomes evident that Hitchcock situates these subversive female figures at the margin of the male gaze, using their misfortunes as a form of retribution for transgressing patriarchal norms. In doing so, male viewers can reaffirm their own gender identity by witnessing the punishment inflicted upon these women. On the one hand, these portrayals serve to reinforce gender stereotypes, perpetuating a well-established pattern that aligns with the collective subconscious of the mainstream male demographic, which fears the prospect of women gaining autonomy or challenging the existed power dynamics. On the other hand, the stark contrast between these marginalized characters and the heroines in Hitchcock's films can inspire alternative perspectives and independent interpretations among different audience segments.

Authors: Ding Yanzhu
Published: January 2024

This research aims to explore the unequal treatment of Chinese women in their career development due to gender differences and the causes of this social phenomenon. Through the classification of relevant literature, the situation of women in different fields of work is comprehensively analyzed and compared to illustrate the specific manifestations of inequality. This study argues that the causes of this social phenomenon of female unfriendliness due to gender differences can be roughly discussed and divided into three types followed, which are physical differences, stubborn stereotype, and traditional man-centered view. In addition, how to reduce the inequality caused by gender differences in different industries in China is also of great significance, the specific suggestions generally include improving women's educational level, increasing gender awareness at the social level, and requiring companies not to use gender as one of the selection criteria for candidates when recruiting. Such discussion might not only protect women's rights and interests in the workplace, but also promote gender balance in Chinese society.
Study on Gender Ideology Evolution in the "Star Wars" Film Series
Authors: Jiang Wencheng
Published: January 2024

With the progression of time, female roles in science fiction movies have become increasingly significant, showcasing notable changes in both their quantity and character traits. Spanning 42 years, the "Star Wars" film series of 11 movies exhibits marked differences in female character portrayal. Over several years of development, female roles have gradually moved away from the singular identity of being "objects of gaze," no longer solely passive "desires of objects" or mere carriers for the flat representation of male characters in the audience's eyes and within the films. In the current narrative mechanism of Star Wars movies, the patriarchal center has been significantly challenged, and the "female discourse subject" with agency and independent will is gradually emerging. This study aims to explore the relevant connections between these female characters and the feminist trends of the time. By decoding the imagery of women in mainstream commercial films under the patriarchal framework, it analyzes the underlying gender ideologies and attempts to explore the future trajectory of constructing female discourse.

Authors: Xiong Jiali
Published: January 2024

With the prosperity of the tourism industry, foreign tourists and local university students have become the main users of the university town space. The two groups have a high degree of behavioral overlap but differ in motivation due to different psychological needs. Research on urban network hotspot space needs more exploration of small-scale road sections and coverage of spatial boundary perception, social media, and other factors in space formation and evolution mechanisms. Therefore, this study will take the consumption space with the strongest interweaving of the two groups as the starting point to explore the countermeasures for spatial boundary perception with the theoretical support of scene theory. It was found that various factors such as social media, tourist experience-oriented consumption psychology, and the perception of spatial boundaries by both tourists and students influenced the drastic change in urban hotspot consumption space. This study provides some reference for understanding and guiding the development of such areas.
Madrid's Arco de la Victoria: Cultural Symbols and Social Negotiations in Contemporary Spain
Authors: Li Junnan
Published: January 2024

This paper examines Madrid's Arco de la Victoria as a cultural symbol and its role in the social negotiations of contemporary Spain. Anchored in the framework of cultural sociology, the study traces the monument's origins to Franco's regime, where it was intended as a symbol of authoritarian triumph. As Spain transitioned to democracy, the Arco's significance shifted, reflecting the changing narratives and collective memory of Spanish society. Through analysis of academic literature and historical records, the study explores the monument's contested semantics over time and public discourses that surround it. The findings reveal that the Arco de la Victoria, much like other Francoist monuments, has evolved from a representation of unified national identity to a site of contestation and re-negotiation in democratic Spain. The paper contributes to the understanding of how historical symbols are re-evaluated as societies progress and how they continue to shape and reflect collective identities and memories.

A Case Study on a Lifestyle Platform for Adaptive Reuse of an Abandoned Gas Station
Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, Shin Jae-Ryung
Published: January 2024

Gas stations, which are essential urban infrastructure, are under pressure to spread new transportation methods and quickly replace infrastructure due to recent research and technological advancements in alternative energy such as hydrogen and electricity. This economic burden is rapidly increasing the closure and neglect of gas station spaces. Because abandoned gas stations cause environmental harm from pollution, social risk from crime, and deterioration of the city's image, the public sector must view this as an urban problem and respond actively and quickly to resolve it. Adaptive reuse is a tool to revitalize a city in stagnation by eliminating psychological instability found in local idle space and improving physical inconveniences, providing a space with new functions tailored to the needs of local residents. Accordingly, this study studied the case of a lifestyle platform that is rapidly expanding into people's daily lives as we enter the leisure culture era. The purpose of this study was to consider the possibility of utilizing neglected gas station space from the perspective of conversion into a lifestyle platform appropriate for the times, and to present the basic direction of an adaptive reuse plan that reflects this result. In conclusion, abandoned gas stations are sufficiently adaptive and reusable spaces by taking steps to explore influencing factors, establish design standards, and prepare operating standards, but they must be improved by utilizing the characteristics of the physical space but reflecting emotional preference factors. The gas station space transformed into a lifestyle platform can become a place of daily life by providing local residents with environmental comfort, stability of access, and diversity of experiences that were not possible when it was an abandoned gas station.

Printmaking, both analogue and digital, evokes knowledge and human history. The act of printmaking reveals not only the image, but also the embedded techniques, revealing analogies to science, language, and the machine.

To travel into outer space, within the context of our human existence, “I am setting up shop” and building an installation to house various departments within it.

I will be travelling back to the future, setting out my stall, describing processes and practices, revealing my methodology.

‘We’re leavin’ together, But still it’s farewell, And maybe we’ll come back, To Earth, who can tell?’

In 1975, Pippa Smith and I set up Paddington Printshop, a community graphics centre in west London with the unattractive invitation “Come to our unheated semi-derelict factory and homemade press to promote your cause on the following condition: nothing sexist, racist, or commercial”. It worked: within days the place was full, and soon numerous printshops, based on our DIY model, sprang up around the country. The Printshop was an educational resource. The first thing I learned was to listen – a skill notably absent from my fine-art training. The second realisation was that our role might extend beyond designing posters.

The Printshop became an incubator for new organisations and resources locally, nationally, and internationally. Things didn’t change overnight, but during the 80s demand for posters waned. Rebranded as London Print Workshop, we turned to providing resources for artists, alongside the continuation of our community activist role.

Many public schools serving students who are under-represented in STEM fields lack the resources to provide the science education expected in the twenty-first century economy. Universities can deploy their infrastructure and human capital to better support local public schools, better preparing the next generation of college students for success in higher education and access to STEM-related careers. This article describes a university-public school partnership between the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and Paul Robeson High School designed to accelerate the science learning of Paul Robeson High School students by having Penn college students teach hands-on lab activities on the college campus. Here, the partnership is described from the perspective of the school principal and school-based teacher leader for science and math at Paul Robeson High School. We discuss results from recent state standardized exams suggesting that these activities improve science knowledge and understanding for the high school students. A key ingredient for the improved science skills may be the broad social aspects of feeling included in the university setting.

Present studies were conducted to evaluate the quality of ground drinking water in Vehari city of Punjab, Pakistan. Water samples were subjected to physicochemical characterization for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), phosphatic compounds, oils and fats. The observed ranges of pH (7.3-7.7), phosphatic compounds (0.001-0.006 mg/L), oils and fats (<1) were found within the WHO limits. The values of electrical conductivity(896-1875μS), total dissolved solids (400-8000 mg/L), and total suspended solid (1200-2800mg/L) were exceeded by WHO limits in Muslim Town, TBZ Colony, Vehari Zoo, D- block, Stadium Road, 9-11 WB, Sharqi Colony, and Danewal areas of Vehari. The investigated groundwater of Tehsil Vehari was found to be unfit for human consumption, and a dire need was felt for removing pollutants from this water before its consumption for drinking purposes in Tehsil Vehari.

Given the emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR), finding new antimicrobials and chemotherapeutics is a need of the hour. The under-explored habitats harbouring untapped microbial diversity are considered attractive targets to look for new potent bioactive compounds. In this study, N=32 actinobacteria strains were recovered from the soil of Neelum Valley, Kashmir, Pakistan, to screen their inhibitory activity and metabolomic potential against MDR typhoidal Salmonella. The TLC pattern and HPLC-UV-MS analysis of the extracts of isolated strains showed the presence of a variety of bioactive compounds. The actinobacteria strains B6, D13, B11.2 and others were found to be the most prolific producers of diverse secondary metabolites. In the screening for inhibitory activity against MDR typhoidal Salmonella, the extracts of strains B6, B16, B21 and D13 were found to be the most active exhibiting up to 20 mm zone of inhibition. Similarly, the cytotoxicity potential of the extracts against Artemiasalina by determining %larval mortality, the extract of strain Kel 1311A showed 91% mortality followed by the extracts of strains AzB1, kel 1391, B13, B8, and B4 showed % mortality up to 87.3%. 90%, 88% and 85.41% respectively. The HPLC-UV/MS analysis revealed the presence of a varietyof compounds with molecular weights of 400, 510 and 519 Daltons in the extract of strain B4 and 651, 356, 378 and 400 Daltons in the extracts of strain D13. The study suggested that actinobacteria living in the soil of Neelum Valley Kashmir are a rich source of novel bio-active, cytotoxic and anti-microbial compounds.
