An Analysis of Grammatical Errors in Chinese EFL Learners' Oral English
Authors: Liu Jiayi , Wu Chengrui
Published: October 2023

Compared with reading, writing, listening, Chinese English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners oral English ability is usually far weaker and ignored in classroom language teaching. In terms of oral English teaching and practicing, most of the emphasis is on pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, while little attention has been given to the grammatical errors in the oral English. The present research focuses on analyzing grammatical errors in Chinese EFL learners oral English. In order to identify the most prevalent grammatical error types and determine the relationship between grammatical errors and oral English proficiency levels, the study collects recordings of subjects discussing a particular topic and transcribing them for error recognition, classification, frequency analysis, and correlation analysis. It is found that Chines EFL learners commit preposition and article errors most frequently; no obvious correlation between error numbers and English-speaking levels is shown, while two error types omission auxiliary be and noun for adjective have significant positive correlation with learners English-speaking scores as indicators of their oral English levels. Based on that, it is concluded that differences between the mother tongue and English, as well as the complexity of some grammatical rules are main causes for errors, and teachers should be aware that students are likely to commit some certain types of errors more as they make progress and try to use more complicated grammatical patterns.
Early Nicotine Exposure and Opioid Abuse
Authors: Xu Ziping
Published: October 2023

Over the last few years, the number of opioid-related deaths has been skyrocketing across racial, age, and gender groups in the United States. Researchers have found that continuous exposure to nicotine-containing substances among teenagers increases the likelihood of opioid addiction during adulthood. Hence, exposure to nicotine remains an essential factor associated with opioid use. Early Nicotine Exposure and Opioid Abuse is the central theme of this study. The study yielded several noteworthy findings, including the following: Upon consumption, nicotine rapidly enters the bloodstream and binds to specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, resulting in the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for the pleasurable and rewarding effects of nicotine use. Significantly, increased dependence on nicotine is strongly associated with heightened pain symptoms, which in turn exacerbate the likelihood of opioid use. To mitigate the risks of concurrent nicotine and opioid use, a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of addiction and prioritizes positive health outcomes for individuals and communities is needed. Hence, the importance of this study lies in its identification of key factors that inform the development of multifaceted interventions aimed at reducing the harms associated with nicotine and opioid use.
Product Design-based on an Auxiliary System of Fatigue Driving
Authors: Wang Haiyun
Published: October 2023

Starting from the effects and hazards of fatigue driving, this paper analyzes the current mainstream fatigue driving monitoring scheme: determining whether a driver is in a fatigued driving state by detecting his or her facial features. The idea of aiding this scheme through physical methods is proposed, and a preliminary feasibility discussion and design are presented. The main design solution is to provide a real-time and continuous aid to the facial monitoring method by monitoring the human posture in real time with thin-film sensors, which are installed on the inner side of the steering wheel and under the seat and backrest. Whether this installation would cause discomfort to the driver and how to alert the driver were also considered. Finally, based on the existing design, the possibility of improving the solution is proposed and how it should be implemented afterwards.
The Issues Behind Girl Empowerment in Teenage Pregnancy: The Case of Sierra Leone
Authors: Zheng Zian
Published: October 2023

This article takes Sierra Leone as an example to analyze the problems of teenage empowerment discourse in addressing teenage pregnancy. By lacking sufficient outside help, girls are likely to be trapped in a situation where they are informed but powerless to change the status quo due to structural inequalities in the environment. They are even trapped in more pain because of the prevalence of girl empowerment. This paper argues that this dilemma is an existing staged problem, and womens empowerment needs to change from thinking to more targeted social support to reduce the gap. This paper proposes strategies to improve womens educational attainment as possible support directions. Since Sierra Leone is a typical low-income country, this article has reference value for the similar plight of other low- and middle-income countries.

Authors: Sang Ruicong
Published: October 2023

This dissertation analyzes gender role images in elementary school mathematics textbooks of Jiangsu Education Press in China. The study aims to identify whether gender stereotypes and discrimination exist in textbooks and develop strategies to address these issues. The results showed that male characters were more frequently portrayed than female characters in both text and images, and they tended to be depicted as active and confident problem solvers. In contrast, female characters were often shown as passive and dependent learners. Additionally, gender stereotypes were found in portraying male and female characters roles and activities, with males frequently engaging in activities related to science and technology, while females were associated with more traditional roles such as homemakers and caregivers. The results of this study will shed light on the nature and extent of gender bias in mathematics textbooks published by Jiangsu Education Press and contribute to their improvement. This study contributes to the broader field of gender bias in education by providing a more specific and focused analysis of gender role representations in elementary school mathematics textbooks.

The Research on Criminal Legislation of Cyber Violence
Authors: Wang Yidan
Published: October 2023

With the rapid development of the Internet, cyber violence occurs frequently, and the social harm caused by it cannot be ignored. In current practice, cyber violence cases are usually regulated by civil law and administrative law, but its regulatory effect on cyber violence that causes serious consequences is not obvious. In order to effectively control cyber violence, it should be regulated by criminal legislation, which is a more powerful means. This paper uses the research method of normative analysis to explain the dilemma faced by Chinas current criminal legislation to regulate cyber violence. Chinas existing criminal law provisions cannot be connected with cyber violence. Meanwhile, Chinas existing criminal legislation has many deficiencies in the regulation of cyber violence. This paper also analyzes the reasons why cyber violence needs to improve the regulation of criminal legislation. Thats because cyber violence has serious harm and other legal regulation means lack of regulation. Meanwhile, Chinas Current Criminal Regulation of Cyber Violence Started Late and is Difficult to Apply. In order to create a more secure,civilized and orderly cyberspace, this paper puts forward some suggestions for improving the path to solve this problem including the addition of judicial interpretation and the addition of cyber violence crime.

Why Radical Counterterrorism Strategies Are Created: The Comparison Based on the United States and France
Authors: Liu Xu
Published: October 2023

In the international community, the United Nations has carried out a series of resolutions and conventions in coordinating, preventing, and combating terrorism, and countries have actively cooperated in the fight against terrorism. However, the counter-terrorism policy of the United States is more radical than that of other developed countries. Using a comparative case study approach, the article analyses the reasons behind the USs aggressive counter-terrorism policy by comparing Frances counter-terrorism policy after the November 13 terrorist attacks with that of the US. The article argues that the US counter-terrorism policy is partly a means of defending its hegemonic position and protecting its strategic interests, compared to Frances prioritization of domestic counter-terrorism due to factors such as its history of terrorism and geopolitics. On the other hand, the US counter-terrorism strategy is also about promoting American values and democracy on a global scale. At the same time, it should not be overlooked that the USs strong economic and military power, as well as its diplomatic influence at the international level, support the US in its war on terror and trade embargo against countries such as Iran and Syria. This study aims to identify the reasons for the USs radical counter-terrorism policies by comparing the contrasting counter-terrorism policies of the US and France, which are also developed countries, and to provide a case study for a later study of a rational counter-terrorism landscape.

A Study on the Effect of Family Capital on College Students Academic Achievement
Authors: Zhu Yunzhao
Published: October 2023

The relationship between family socioeconomic status and students academic achievement has long been a topic of intense academic interest; however, few studies have combined family economic capital, cultural capital, and social capital as family capital to investigate its influence on students academic achievement and how it affects students academic achievement. This study investigates the relationship between family capital and the mechanisms of influence on students academic achievement in an effort to generate new strategies for enhancing family capital and students academic achievement. Using the method of literature review, it was determined that the social, cultural, and economic capital of students families were all substantially related to their academic achievement in school, and the greater the family capital, the higher the students academic achievement. In this process, academic goals play a mediating function, meaning that family capital not only directly affects students academic achievement, but also indirectly affects it by influencing their academic goals.

Authors: Wang Guangnan
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 epidemic has a wide and long-term impact on the worlds politics, economy, education, and other fields to a certain extent. Higher education has faced additional obstacles in the post-epidemic age due to the strong-government governance style, the fundamental economic structure transformation, and the escalating social conflicts. By using the theory of government involvement in the field of education and the theory of internationalization of higher education, this paper analyzes the current situation of higher education development in Guangdong Province, China, and seeks to promote the high-quality development of higher education in the post-epidemic era. The findings indicate that while higher education develops more quickly in the post-epidemic age, its transition is still facing many new constraints.

Long-Arm Jurisdiction in Cross-Border Data Flows: EU-US Gaming and Balancing
Authors: Tian Yuxin , Zhang Hanwen
Published: October 2023

In the era of digital economy, the power struggle and legal challenges arising from cross-border data flows have become increasingly prominent, making data governance a focal topic in the international community. Countries are competing and cooperating in formulating rules on cross-border data flows, as this phenomenon becomes more significant with the global popularity and rapid development of big data-based digital products like ChatGPT. As traditional powers in this field, the United States and the European Union have established long-arm jurisdiction systems with unique characteristics and have engaged in multiple rounds of fierce gamesmanship over dominance in global data flow governance standards, while constantly seeking power balance in bilateral cooperation. Through historical research, comparative analysis, and case studies, this paper analyzes and summarizes the governance principles, regulatory models, and competitive and compromising processes of transatlantic data flows, leading to the conclusion that Chinas data governance strategy should balance data security and data freedom, while transforming its approach to regulating data outflows and emphasizing the importance of efficiency values in maintaining data sovereignty. By expanding international cooperation and promoting the signing of regional data flow agreements, China can enhance its voice in the global data governance system.
Impact Factors for an Infant's Ability to Learn
Authors: Deng Mingchong
Published: October 2023

Infant Sensory Learning and Development (ISLD) is a key area of research that examines how infants acquire knowledge and develop their cognitive and social-emotional abilities through their senses. This article focuses on auditory and visual perception as learning tools for infants, with a focus on the importance of auditory perception and visual development in newborns. Challenges of studying sensory learning in infants are addressed because verbal feedback is not available. Using indirect measures such as eye tracking and physiological responses to assess infant learning seems more applicable. At the same time, this paper puts forward suggestions for interdisciplinary research on infant learning ability. Future research directions include investigating the neural mechanisms underlying visual learning in infants and developing innovative assessment methods. The influence of environmental factors such as language exposure and visual stimuli on infant sensory learning is emphasized. The article concludes with a summary of research into the impact of infant sensory learning on auditory and visual perception, and the need for a comprehensive understanding of infants early learning abilities for better developmental outcomes.

The main reasons for the emergence of stigma are improper information content used in mass media reporting and social media dissemination. The impact of trauma on people is in terms of self-identity and self-esteem, self-behaviour, and physical and mental health. Finally, the main factors contributing to resilience are family support, policy support, and personal regulation.
Women and Girls in STEM Fields: How Gender Bias Impacts IndividualS Academic Decision
Authors: Chak Wong
Published: October 2023

Female figures have experienced consistent stigmatization in a variety of domains; one of the most significant fields is STEM, which is perceived as a laborious and hardcore discipline. Women, who are generally correlated with characteristics such as delicate and tender, maintain a lower participation rate in both STEM subjects and jobs. In order to obtain a more profound knowledge behind this trend, this essay aims to investigate potential reasons by generalizing current issues into three sections: academic, familial and occupational. The major research method used will be the semi-structured interview, where some questions are pre-designed, and some are improvised. One sample question of the predetermined question is Describe the gender bias you have experienced. After an abundant collection of evidence, the essay comes along to the conclusion that schools, families and workplaces do hold crucial embodiment of gender bias in academic preferences. Deficits of the education system mainly include a shortage of models, inappropriate learning content and a discriminating academic atmosphere. The familial aspect displays its effects through parental disapproval and enforcement of changing majors. Meanwhile, STEM occupations also exist issues, including sexual harassment and maladjusted salary. Deterrence, as a result of these reasons, extensively blockades women from entering these domains. Thus viable blueprints of rectification, such as law establishment and additional support, are also brought up. Such measurements are firmly believed to be effective alleviations of the current status.

Authors: Yang Jiayue
Published: October 2023

In a state of compassion fatigue, peoples work performance and social status are easily affected, and in severe cases, they may even cause some influence and harm to others. Therefore, it is important to study the factors that tend to affect empathy fatigue, the people who are prone to empathy fatigue and how to alleviate empathy fatigue, so as to reduce the occurrence of empathy fatigue. In this paper, the relationship between hypersensitive people and empathy fatigue and how to intervene and alleviate this fatigue phenomenon is studied through theoretical analysis and questionnaire survey. The analysis of the data from the questionnaire revealed that the more oversensitive people are, the more likely they are to develop the phenomenon of empathy fatigue, as well as the explanation that self-care and self-compassion can effectively intervene and alleviate empathy fatigue. This study has some limitations, which are explained at the end of this paper.

Authors: Liu Jiaxi
Published: October 2023

The anchoring effect is essentially a cognitive bias in which people tend to overly rely on the first piece of information they receive (the anchor) when making decisions, or are influenced by the first piece of information they received, which further leads to obvious deviations in subsequent judgments. This phenomenon is evident in multiple fields, including the legal field. This article will comprehensively introduce the mechanism of anchoring effect in the judicial field by collecting, analyzing, and integrating existing research results. It will also draw conclusions on the size of initial anchor values and how they can have a negative impact on judicial decision-making. Finally, potential solutions will be provided.
Understanding the Development of Borderline Personality Disorder from an Evolutionary Perspective
Authors: Feng Shuang
Published: October 2023

Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), a type of personality disorder, typically experience extreme mood swings, leading to unstable personal relationships, severe morbidity, and high social costs. Given that natural selection is known to optimize survival gains, how are there still individuals whose ability to manage social relationships is broken, maintain personal relationships, and sustain survival? The current study proposes two possible hypotheses to answer this question. Hypothesis A predicts that mental disorders are caused by an inevitable genetic mutation that affects human behaviors. In this case, there were no adaptive designs of BPD. Hypothesis B suggests that BPD may be once helpful to ones survival in some environments, leading to its gene adaptation. If this hypothesis holds, BPD can be found in certain circumstances more commonly than others. The study concluded that the BPD prevalence rates found between different ethnic groups (Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian) are inconsistent, suggesting that there was an adaptive purpose for developing BPD. It also implied that the aspects attributed to the variety of BPD prevalence rates among societies might be found based on different social values. Further investigations are needed to investigate the adaptive mechanisms of BPD to help with BPD diagnoses and treatments for BPD patients in various cultural settings.

Authors: Ge Xiaoyu
Published: October 2023

Currently, education is pivotal for Chinas future development in economy and technology. This study used the OLS estimation to evaluate the private return to education in China. The results show that an extra year of schooling will increase ones yearly nominal income by around 6.95 percent. Moreover, the heterogeneous analysis indicates that the return rate is higher for male employees and workers who live in urban areas. This research supplements previous literature in two directions. First, it uses CFPS2020, which is relatively new data, to do the estimation. Second, interaction terms of years of schooling and the highest degree of education are created to figure out the various return to education of different degree holders. The regression results indicate that employees who have higher degrees of education will enjoy a higher return for one more year of schooling.
The Status of Left-behind Children in Rural Areas under the Background of Parents Migration
Authors: Yu Tianyi
Published: October 2023

The group of left-behind children in China has long been characterized by large-scale and numerous challenges, among which the education of left-behind children has been the center of attention and a contentious topic. In China, there were 170 million rural migrant laborers by 2022. Rural migration may have a significant positive influence on the families, communities, and work force of the migrants as well as on themselves personally. It is important to investigate how these massive rural migratory workers affect the family unit, particularly their children. The object of this paper is the left-behind children in rural areas under the background of parents migration. There are two main research directions: the first is the behavioral problems of left-behind children in rural areas under the background of parents migration and the causes and countermeasures of the behavioral problems; the second is the education status of left-behind children in rural areas under the background of parents migration. Children whose parents migrated had a considerably greater overall frequency of behavior problem than children who were not left behind. When one parent migrated, the likelihood of problem behavior in the children was much higher when the mother migrated than when the father migrated. Childrens academic performance is significantly influenced by aspects related to education, including family education spending, involvement in education, and supervision in school.

To what Extent does Cognitive Bias Play a Role in the Prediction of Black Swan Events Using the Challenger's Case Study
Authors: Deng Xinyue , Jiang Xinhui
Published: October 2023

In this essay, different types of cognitive biases and its role in the prediction of black swan events is explored through the use of the 1986 Challenger disaster. The challengers case was mainly caused by its o-rings failure due to cold weather, which was unpredictable and unexpected by all engineers at NASA. The different types of cognitive biases that were in-volved in this event were confirmation biases, sunk cost fallacy and groupthink mentally. Along with the political and social pressures at the time, these confirmation biases play a role in the false decision-making process during the challengers launch, which in itself is a black swan event. This leads to an importance in the prevention and recognition of cognitive biases, which requires strategies.
Exploring the Influence of L1 Chinese on L2 English Acquisition
Authors: Liang Ruohan , Zhang Junxiao
Published: October 2023

The impact of L1 Chinese on L2 English acquisition has received more attention as more Chinese students study English as a second language. This paper reviews previous research on Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and introduces some factors that can influence language transfer. The writers focus on three linguistic aspects, syntax, lexicon, and phonology, to explore how English as Second Language (ESL) learners L1 Chinese has influenced their English acquisitions. Results found that: 1) Syntax: The syntax structure includes many factors influencing Chinese learners English acquisition, such as subjects, verbs, and adverbs. English requires an issue while Chinese tend to omit the subject; English has a verb conjugation system while Chinese does not; and English adverbs can be placed in different positions according to the type while Chinese adverbs are mainly set in the middle; 2) Lexicon: Lexical errors may occur when ESL learners may make errors when they meet the differences in linguistic features such as polysemy, part of speech and word collocations between the two languages.; 3) Phonology: As Chinese is a tonal language and English is a non-tonal language, their tones of phonology are, to some extent, different, which might cause ESL learners confusion. These features of Chinese and English differ, and how these disparities have prevented positive language transfer from Chinese to English is explored. As a result, this study can inform second language instructors of the distinctions between the two languages and offer resources for future instruction of ESL students.

Cultural Differences, Diagnosis, and the Intervention in Adolescence in Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Zhao Danyang
Published: October 2023

The previous study showed that borderline personality disorder was strongly associated with childhood trauma and developed personality traits into adolescence that could lead to borderline personality disorder. Research also indicated a cultural difference in the psychopathology and diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in both adults and adolescents. A borderline personality disorder is a type of personality disorder that has symptoms around unstable emotions, dissociation and fear of being abandoned. Although having deviant behaviour was a significant risk factor in detecting borderline personality disorder, it could be less potent in non-western cultures like China and India. Merging cultural differences and the criteria of borderline personality disorder could accurately detect borderline personality disorder in adolescence. It helped people intervene and treat it earlier to slow the progression of borderline personality disorder. This study focused on reviewing previous research on cultural differences, detection, prevention, and intervention in adolescents with borderline personality disorder. Cultural differences like different social norms or traditions influence individual identity and interpersonal relationships, which are non-negligible components of the period of adolescence that could induce borderline personality disorder if adolescents have issues with those parts. People need to be aware of the symptoms to intervene in borderline personality disorder in adolescents through multiple treatments with an appropriate plan and management, which should focus on psychotherapy, like dialectic behavioural therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and Mentalization-based therapy.

The Effect of Siblings on the Academic Self-efficacy and Self-educational Expectations of University Students
Authors: Jiao Huaiyi
Published: October 2023

With the introduction of Chinas one-child policy in the 1970s, much research was done to study only children on their well-being, personality, and academic achievement. However, few studies have focused on how they differ from non-only children regarding academic self-efficacy and self-educational expectations and the results have not come to an agreement. Thus, this study targeted the undergraduates in mainland China and those who come from the mainland but studying in Hong Kong. An online questionnaire was published and a total of 140 valid responses were collected. MANOVAs and multiple linear regression models were established in order to investigate the effect of singleton status, birth order, and gender of siblings on university students academic self-efficacy and self-educational expectations. The results showed that the singleton status, birth order, and gender of siblings had no significant influence on both academic self-efficacy and self-educational expectations, and a significant interaction between birth order and gender of siblings on the score of academic self-efficacy. This study adds to the recent status of the academic self-efficacy and self-educational expectations among undergraduates studying in Mainland and Hong Kong, only children and non-only children. However, due to insufficient sample size, gender and current years of study of students were not included in the comparison, which needs to be further investigated.

At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 emerged. Shortly thereafter, the epidemic spread rapidly in China, threatening the lives and health of Chinese residents and causing a great impact on production, living and social order in China. Students could not return to school on time. The Ministry of Education scientifically and accurately analyzed the situation at that time and issued the Guiding Opinions on the Organization and Management of Online Teaching in Colleges and Universities during the Epidemic Prevention and Control Period, which issued a call to the society to keep teaching while attending classes. In response to the call, educational institutions across the country have gradually started online classes based on the local epidemic prevention and control situation. The COVID-19 has brought opportunities for education. Peoples awareness and recognition of online learning have been increasing, which to some extent promotes the development of online education and increases the proportion of online education in the whole education industry. After the epidemic, people have more deeply realized the importance of social information. In this information age, education should also keep up with the pace of the Times. On the premise of meeting people's needs for education, the people should actively reform the educational mode, combine the traditional educational mode with the new educational mode influenced by information, and promote the construction of educational information. According to this paper, it can arouse peoples thinking and inquiry to a certain extent.
An Analysis of Happiness Measurement Methods
Authors: Fang Yiyuan
Published: October 2023

Studying the measurement of happiness can help people find a way to estimate and level their happiness. So, this article will briefly discuss happiness and the methods people use to measure happiness based on existing literature and data. It will mainly talk about the three measurements: self-report, brain activities, and human facial expressions. Self-reporting can include peoples various opinions and is more comprehensive at organizing data. But it can have bias due to individual differences. Brain activity is more specific and precise; it seldom makes mistakes. However, the complexity of the human brain makes it difficult to get clear and full-scale information. Third, human behaviors in situations when they are feeling happy are almost universal and widely-accepted. But the link between facial or body expressions and emotions is vague, not to mention the expressions will have slight differences in diverse cultures. In conclusion, happiness can be measured using proper methods, but there will still be issues that need to be solved with further studies.

Design as a Tool for Wicked Problems: An Action-oriented Visual Narration
Authors: Zhang Ying , Chen Yuxi
Published: October 2023

This paper explores the application of visual narratives in addressing "wicked problems" such as ecosystem imbalances and biodiversity loss. Firstly, it reviews the evolution of the design field's focus on "wicked problems" and how design has shifted from "post-intervention" processes to seeking more profound solutions. Subsequently, the paper presents a case study of the Tianjin Qilihai Wetland, demonstrating how design intervenes in local ecological and social issues as a tool and medium to tackle wicked problems. Based on this, four methods of action-oriented visual narrative are proposed: shifting from stakeholders' relevant maps to collaborator maps, self-organized visual materials, participatory experiences, and visual narratives of products in social contexts. These methods, through the lens of visual narratives, aid in understanding and addressing complex ecological and social issues. Finally, the paper concludes by emphasizing the advantages and significance of visual narratives in addressing wicked problems, underlining their key role in promoting the integration of design and social action to achieve more comprehensive and profound problem-solving.
