Published: February 2024

A diversidade de produtos alimentícios adicionados de vitaminas, inclusive de vitamina A, vem aumentando no Brasil e o controle desses produtos é necessário. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: 1) verificar o teor de vitamina A em alimentos enriquecidos avaliando a concentração em relação ao declarado no rótulo; 2) verificar a variabilidade dos níveis de enriquecimento desse nutriente em diferentes amostras de um mesmo produto; 3) avaliar a quantidade de vitamina A oferecida em uma porção individual de cada alimento em relação à Dose Diária Recomendada (DDR) pelo National Research Council. Foram estudados 20 produtos enriquecidos. A concentração de vitamina A foi determinada em 5 amostras provenientes de lotes diferentes de cada produto, totalizando 100 amostras. Dentre as amostras avaliadas, 45 apresentaram teor de vitamina A na faixa compreendida entre 20% abaixo e 20% acima do declarado no rótulo, 14 amostras apresentaram teor abaixo dessa faixa e 41 acima. A maioria dos produtos apresentou níveis de enriquecimento homogêneo em cinco amostras diferentes. Os alimentos estudados supriam de 18 a 120% das DDR em uma porção única. Sugere-se que a legislação brasileira estabeleça, para alimentos enriquecidos, níveis mínimo e máximo de vitamina A por porção diária habitualmente consumida; que se estenda o beneficio dos alimentos enriquecidos com vitamina A às populações de baixa renda através da adição desse nutriente nos alimentos consumidos pela mesma; que se avalie melhor os alimentos que não podem e aqueles que podem e devem ser enriquecidos.

Authors: Herrera Castrillo Cliffor Jerry , Jarquín Matamoro Rigoberto Francisco
Published: February 2024

El Ministerio de Educación (MINED) de Nicaragua ha implementado un nuevo sistema de evaluación para el aprendizaje en todas sus modalidades (inicial, primaria y secundaria) a partir de este año, 2023. Este sistema busca evaluar no solo la capacidad de memorización, sino también el dominio, la comprensión y el análisis de los contenidos, que se convierten en conocimiento. Esta temática resulta emocionante, complicada y, en ocasiones, controvertida en el ámbito educativo, ya que se considera una pieza clave para el éxito en la formación de la persona. Al ser una evaluación centrada en el aprendizaje, no solo requiere que el estudiante adquiera una serie de habilidades cognitivas, sino que se desarrolle de manera integral considerando sus capacidades y habilidades a través del pensamiento crítico y analítico. Esto incluye el enfoque de cada asignatura, donde cada docente establece criterios de evaluación a partir de los indicadores de logro. Esto representa un cambio significativo al pasar de un currículo basado en objetivos a uno basado en competencias. El propósito de este ensayo es describir el sistema de evaluación para el aprendizaje, enfatizando la educación media nicaragüense, mediante una revisión de la literatura nacional e internacional. Durante esta investigación, se identificó una relación directa entre el sistema de evaluación y el modelo por competencia desde un enfoque basado en el aprendizaje, lo cual proporciona un marco teórico sólido para comprender su implementación y sus beneficios.
The Issues and Ethical Dilemmas of College Volunteers in Short-term Voluntary Teaching Projects
Authors: Cui Luyan
Published: February 2024

In recent years, with the continuous pursuit of self-worth by the public, more and more voluntary projects of non-governmental organizations and non-profit organizations have emerged and developed. While these voluntary projects bring some positive effects, there are also some negative problems. This article will take short-term volunteer teaching of college students as an example to analyze the problems and moral dilemmas of volunteers in short-term volunteer projects. Through research, it can be found that volunteers in short-term volunteer teaching projects lack professionalism and vocational training, a lack of sustainable teaching mechanisms, and the moral dilemma faced by volunteers themselves. The research content of this paper will enhance the understanding of short-term voluntary teaching, and lead to practical implications for developing volunteer teaching programs in China. Meanwhile, it will provide theoretical support for the subsequent design and management of voluntary projects of Chinese non-profit organizations and also put forward feasible suggestions for the selection and training of volunteers, as well as the publicity and supervision of voluntary projects.

Research on the Profit Maximization Model for Automatic Pricing and Restocking of Vegetable Commodities
Authors: Zhang Yanqi , Wang Yue , Zhou Yu
Published: February 2024

Due to the perishable nature of fresh agricultural products and the uncertainty of the types and prices of individual items before daily procurement in supermarkets, these establishments typically need to determine daily replenishment and pricing strategies based on the historical sales and demand for various goods. This paper starts from the perspective of maximizing supermarket revenue, predicting the sales of various product categories through seasonal indices. Under the constraints of the sales space for goods, the paper further uses ARIMA time series forecasting for the sales volume and procurement prices of individual items during the corresponding time period. Cost markup equivalent coefficients, daily replenishment quantities, and discount coefficients are considered as decision variables. Based on the demand curve model in economics, the paper takes into account the counteraction of cost markup pricing coefficients on sales volume and the counteraction of discount coefficients on the discounted portion of sales. The objective functions include maximizing supermarket revenue and satisfying the market demand for various categories of vegetable products. The paper adopts a novel sales model of offering discounts on predicted perishable vegetables and establishes a multi-objective programming model, providing the optimal strategies for replenishment quantities and pricing for each item on July 1st.
The Multilayered Meaning of Camus’ Absurdity as Seen in Caligula and the Stranger
Authors: Li Shuheng
Published: February 2024

Albert Camus’s literary works and philosophical ideas have had a profound impact on the world. After the two world wars, Europe, tormented by the catastrophe of war, was in a climate of resentful reflection, exploration of the future and skepticism about old values. When the old order is shaken and called into question, man’s everyday life becomes a concrete manifestation of absurdity. The world is absurd, is the subjective feeling of many characters in Camus’ books. The term “absurdity”, a key term in Camus’s life, evolved and developed throughout his work. In this paper, it examines two of Camus’s books, The Stranger and Caligula, to analyze the “Absurd Man” in Camus’s work, then introduces The Myth of Sisyphus to explore how Camus confronts the absurdity in his work, in other words, what he advocates as “revolt”. By exploring how Camus deepens and broadens revolt, the paper offers a better understanding of the uplifting power of words in Camus’ literature work.

Do the Results of Elections Represent the Will of the People?
Authors: Huang Yongjian
Published: February 2024

This research paper explores the evolving concept of the "will of the people" in modern democracies and assesses the limitations of electoral democracy in representing this fluid will. Drawing on the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the author argues that the traditional view of the general will, which assumes homogeneity and a single common good, is no longer applicable in heterogeneous and diverse societies. Instead, the author proposes a new measure for the will of the people that acknowledges its fluidity and non-closure. The paper reconciles with the challenges of electoral democracy, including the presence of career politicians, citizen disengagement, and corporate capture, which hamper its ability to effectively represent the will of the people. In response to these limitations, the paper proposes sortition as an alternative approach to governance that promotes citizen engagement, diversity of representation, and responsiveness to the changing wills of the population. By embracing sortition and reimagining the role of elections, democracies can strive for a more representative and responsive democratic system that truly reflects the will of the people.

Published: February 2024

Under the influence of global public health events such as COVID-19, the social and economic order has been damaged, and the possibility of the buyer and seller to default on the international contract has increased. Although with the exemption provisions in article 79 in the United Nations convention on international sales contract, the clause is often applicable to the materialization of the war and strike. In the face of economic impediment, there are still a larger dispute, and based on the official ambiguity of impediment in article 79, countries tend to agree to the domestic concepts. In this paper, the impediment has been compared with hardship and Force majeure, and the two laws systems have been conducted to compare whether COVID-19 can be identified as an impediment from the two aspects of exemption time standards and third-party default. This paper also attempts to make suggestions to the courts of China from the application of the law, the review of the intention and statement of the application of article CISG79, and how to identify the breach of contract caused by Covid-19.
The Issue of Gender Equality in Modern Chinese Society: Taking the Legend of Chen Qianqian as an Example
Authors: Guo Fengwei
Published: February 2024

In ancient Chinese feudal society, the status of women was very low, and women's behavior, language expression, and thought were all imprisoned. For example, the "three-inch golden lotus" is not only to meet the sexual psychology of male perversion but also to destroy the female body, so that women can not travel, thus imprison-women; "Three and four virtues", "good women do not marry two husbands", "women without talent is a virtue" are shackles on female thought. With the progress and development of society, the status of Chinese women has significantly improved, especially women's self-awareness has been greatly improved.

A Study of Security Cooperation Dilemmas and Pathways in Sino-Japanese Relations from A Constructivist Perspective
Authors: Cui Tingjie
Published: February 2024

Regional integration in East Asia has become one of the focal points of international politics since the end of the Cold War. Discussions on East Asian regional integration has predominantly centered around rationalist perspectives, emphasizing the maximization of national interests, which may not be conducive to achieving integration in the region. Given the complex historical issues such as national sentiments intertwined in East Asia, emphasizing the construction of shared ideas and identity through constructivist theories aligns more with the practical requirements of regional integration. Therefore, this paper takes cooperation in the security domain between China and Japan as an example to discuss and analyze the reasons for the dilemmas facing East Asian regional integration. These dilemmas primarily include Japan's uncertainty regarding collective identity, inevitable competition between China and Japan, and the disruptive influence of external great power intervention on collective identity. The paper proposes a three-phase approach for the future: strengthening Japan's East Asian identity, actively constructing cooperation between China and Japan, and resisting external interference. This approach aims to progressively build collective identity in the East Asian region and promote the smooth advancement of East Asian regional integration.

Contemporary Dilemmas of International Investment Law: From the Perspective of Settlement of International Investment Disputes
Authors: Wang Yuqi
Published: February 2024

The current state of international investment law consists of thousands of International Investment Agreements (IIAs) and Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms that create safeguards in international investment law and provide foreign investors with the means to mitigate the political risks they face in host countries. However, the number of effective international investment treaties is generally decreasing, and new investment treaties also exclude investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms. Based on past litigation, it is easy to see that the majority of investors who have successfully initiated litigation against host States have come from developed countries. Litigation against the host State by investors from the global South has been relatively few and far between, and has mostly been dismissed, and even when it has been successfully filed, it has not been successful. As a result, the dispute settlement mechanism is not inherently fair. It can be said that this mechanism is a symbol of protectionism in the post-colonial era, which is no longer suitable for the current time. This paper addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive analysis of the current state of development of international investment treaties and the current state of investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms.
Analysing Different Dimensions of the Lexical Meaning of "Xian Sheng" from the Textual Corpus of the Republic of China
Authors: Mo Diya
Published: February 2024

Vocabulary is a reflection of social thought. As an appellation, the Chinese word "Xian Sheng" expresses the social relationship between people in different social states. The Republic of China period was a special era from 1912 to 1949; the feudal imperial system had just disappeared, so the referential object of "Xian Sheng" was then generalised. This paper focuses on the meaning of "Xian Sheng" in the textual corpus of the Republic of China period. It discusses the inheritance of the old meaning, the similarities and differences between the Chinese and Japanese meanings, and the emergence of the new meaning by applying comprehensive analysis and inductive comparison. It is concluded that while feudalism remains and democratic and scientific thinking prevails, interpersonal relations in the Republic of China tend to be equalised, and the status of women has been improved to a certain extent. This study of interpersonal relationships in China during the Republic of China will be conducted by analysing this vocabulary. At the same time, it will consider whether the term "Xian Sheng" still applies to women today.

The Silk Road, a historical network of trade routes connecting East Asia to Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, facilitated profound cultural exchanges, including the transfer of artistic concepts and creations. The Western Liao dynasty (Qara Khitai), reigning from 1124 to 1218 over territories including present-day Xinjiang, marked an era of significant political and cultural importance. During this period, a unique artistic style emerged, seamlessly blending Chinese and Central Asian influences. This paper investigates the artistic interactions between China and Central Asia during the Silk Road and the Western Liao dynasty era. We explore to what extent the Silk Road and the Western Liao dynasty facilitated these interactions, pinpointing contributing factors and examining their impact on art evolution. The analysis includes three cases of jade ware. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the artistic interactions between China and Central Asia during the Western Liao dynasty had a profound impact on both regions, leaving an enduring legacy. It underscores the interconnectedness of civilizations along the Silk Road and highlights the universal language of art, transcending boundaries to foster mutual understanding and cooperation. By exploring this shared history through art, we deepen our appreciation for the power of artistic expression to bridge gaps and connect diverse cultures across time and space.

The Research on the Depiction of Female Identity in Eileen Chang’s Novellas
Authors: Gu Yiyi
Published: February 2024

Female liberation is a grand topic in Chinese modernization. Analyzing female identity in Chinese literature in the 20th century, especially in female authors’ works, helps people get a closer picture of the traits and processes of the women’s rights movement. This paper provides a close reading of the female identity in four well-known Eileen Chang’s novellas, "Love in a Fallen City", "Aloeswood Incense", "The Golden Cangue" and "Lust, Caution" as a way to discuss Eileen Chang’s attitude towards female individualism and female liberation in China. Female autonomy and subjectivity are two themes that Eileen Chang repeatedly discusses in her novellas, emphasizing her wish and support for female individualism in China. However, her female characters’ pain and tragic ending reveal Eileen Chang’s pessimistic attitude towards the resolution of female struggles and the uncertainty towards female liberation in China.The author hopes to make some contributions to relevant fields through this research.

To investigate the changes in complement content in component blood before clinical transfusion. According to different preparation processes, storage temperatures and time periods, 180 specimens of plasma from the same source of 20 people were left at different stages of the preparation process. Homologous specimens were concentrated in the same batch of experiments to observe the changes in complement C3 and C4 content under different storage temperature and process stage grouping conditions. Using the same specimen to detect C3 and C4 content, the detection results of homologous specimens were sorted into nine groups according to different storage temperatures and preparation process stages for comparison.and there is no significant difference between simple -40°C and -60°C storage at different temperatures. Storage at 4°C for 7 days can significantly reduce complement content. Virus inactivation preparation process can significantly reduce complement content. Repeated freezing and thawing during the processing of frozen plasma can change complement content. Correlation analysis of complement C3 and C4 content determination experiments showed that the changes of the two under different conditions such as temperature, preparation process and storage time were significantly positively correlated. The storage temperature and storage time of frozen plasma, repeated freezing and thawing, centrifugal concentration and light inactivation can affect the complement content.
