Authors: Sun Huanhuan , Yee Cheok Mui
Published: September 2024

For years, effective classroom management has been of much concern to both teachers and teacher educators. Despite such paramount importance, this issue has been far less explored in higher vocational college context in particular. Therefore, this study employed a phenomenological inquiry to delve into the lived experiences of teachers in vocational colleges, and explore these teachers’ perceptions of challenges related to classroom management so as to better understand and support them. 12 teachers from vocational colleges in China were selected through purposive sampling and data were collected by means of semi-structured Interviews. The interviews then were transcribed verbatim and their content was inductively analyzed to let frequent themes emerge. The results of the study show that teachers have been subjected to a number of problems, which result in their great pressure and frustration. Results of the analysis indicated three major themes about the problems, namely “college-related”, “student-related”, “teacher-related” frequently manifested. It should be noted that each main theme also comprised several sub-themes. Some stakeholders such as teachers, teacher educators, administrators, supervisors could benefit from the findings to promote the quality of classroom management in vocational colleges. In this research, we also found that during study, teachers do not acquire sufficient knowledge for effective class management.

Authors: Ma Chuanjin , Lan Tianxiu , Xue Haoran , Xu Liwen , Wang Changheng , Hong Zheng
Published: September 2024

The rapid progress in artificial intelligence, especially with advancements in generative AI such as ChatGPT within Natural Language Processing (NLP), has introduced both new opportunities and challenges for traditional teaching models and the teacher-student relationship in higher education. ChatGPT's advanced deep learning and NLP capabilities have overcome limitations inherent in conventional teacher-student interactions, such as one-way communication and geographical constraints, and have promoted the growth of personalized teaching. This innovation has fostered a learning environment where "Everyone can be a teacher, every place can be a classroom, and teaching can happen at any time". However, this technology also brings challenges, including greater reliance on technology, diminished emotional connections between teachers and students, and issues related to algorithmic transparency. This paper examines ChatGPT's application in higher education, analyzing its effects on evolving teaching and learning models and the transformation of teacher-student relationships. By employing the “teacher-student-AI” triadic interaction model, the study highlights the significance of human-machine collaboration. It aims to optimize AI's self-learning processes, enhance human-centered education, and advance intelligent education in a more efficient and empathetic direction, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for transforming teacher-student relationships and improving undergraduate education standards.

Background: Intraoperative hypertension is a very common critical condition in cardiac surgery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia, affect the smooth progress of the operation, and even lead to the death of the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to manage perioperative hypertension in cardiac surgery. At present, there are various types of drugs for hypertension control in clinical practice, and it is necessary to select vasoactive drugs suitable for cardiac surgery. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed (Medline), Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases to compare the safety of calcium channel blockers and other antihypertensive drugs in controlling hypertension during cardiac surgery, with the search ending in July 2024. For continuous variables, we utilized combined weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval to assess both efficacy and safety. Results: A total of six randomized controlled trials were included, with a total of 1886 patients. There was no significant difference in mortality between calcium channel blockers and other vasodilators (RR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.45,1.26, P =0.28; I2=0%, P=0.75). Also, there was no significant difference in the incidence of atrial fibrillation (RR=1.09, 95% CI: 0.94,1.26, P=0.26; I2=13%, P=0.33). In addition, there were no significant differences in the incidence of myocardial infarction (RR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.41,1.39, P=0.37; I2=0%, P=0.55) and renal insufficiency (RR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.65,1.31, P=0.66; I2=40%, P=0.19) between the two groups. Finally, there was no significant difference in the incidence of total adverse events between the two groups (RR=1.05, 95% CI: 0.87,1.27, P=0.60; I2=0%, P=0.68).

The Spiritual Journey of Chinese Americans Viewed from the Cultural Connotation of The Joy Luck Club
Authors: Fang Honglei
Published: September 2024

Chinese-American writers who live in both Chinese and American cultures are the most sensitive to cultural conflict and integration. Amy Tan is one of those writers who probe deeply into the relationship between the Chinese and American cultures. The Joy Luck Club, a novel that tells stories of four Chinese mothers and their American-born daughters, has caused a great sensation inside and outside the United States and made Tan a famous writer. From the perspective of intercultural communication, Cultural conflicts between four couples of mother and daughter, between husbands and wives arising from the difference in cultural background are looked into from the angles of Chinese obedience to parents and American independence and democracy, Chinese women’s submissiveness and American women’s independence, Chinese family’s honor and American individual achievement, Chinese high-context culture and American low- context culture, Chinese superstition and American science. The causes of the conflicts are also discussed in the aspects of Chinese culture and American culture. Chinese mothers are deeply influenced by the concept of "Three Obedience and Four Virtues", "Resign oneself to Adversity", Etc. However, American daughters are born in the culture that emphasizes "Individualism, Equality, Independence and Freedom." In this thesis, it is also put forward that despite the conflicts, mutual compatibility of two cultures is unavoidable and an inescapable tendency, which reflects the development from the clash to the coexistence of the two cultures in the context of globalization.

Authors: Zhang Mengyi , Tang Lin
Published: September 2024

In the context of the new liberal arts, the ordinary English teaching model is difficult to adapt to the development of college English teaching, and English reading, as a necessary part of cultivating students’ comprehensive language ability and critical thinking ability, has played an important role in college English teaching. As a text-based teaching method, Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is more in line with the learning of English reading. Based on Krashen’s input hypothesis and Swain’s output hypothesis theory, it selected 66 English major seniors from Y University as the research subjects, who subsequently are divided into control classes and experimental classes. Data was collected by survey questionnaires and reading tests. Based on the analysis and discussion of relevant data, it concludes that: firstly, the critical thinking ability of college students is at a moderate level. Secondly, the CBI teaching method is significantly positively correlated with students’ critical thinking ability. Thirdly, the CBI teaching method has a positive impact on students’ critical English reading skills.

An accented video way of thinking
Authors: Zecchi Barbara
Published: September 2024

“An accented video way of thinking: Becoming videoessay” explores the videoessay as a conceivably “accented” form. (I prefer the spelling “videoessay” —a sort of accented choice, given that it echoes the Spanish “videoensayo”— to better convey a sense of seamless integration between video and essay.) In Thinking with an Accent, Pooja Rangan et al. (2023) argue that the accent should be understood not as a way of speaking but as a mode of thought. Two decades earlier, in Accented Cinema, Hamid Naficy used the term “accented” to describe a mode of film production that shapes filmmakers’ “feelings as thought” into an alternative “accented style” (2001, 26). Expanding on these ideas, I propose to consider the position of the videoessay in relation to traditional (i.e. accent-less) scholarship, its imperfect mode of production, and the affective engagement of the “cinephiliac” videoessayist with the media object (Keathley 2000, Grant 2014, 2016). By foregrounding the accented nature of the videoessay form, I suggest that the videoessay represents not only a “video way of thinking”, as Spatz (2018) has indicated, but an accented video way of thinking. In Deleuzian terms, I propose that the videoessay, as an accented practice and epistemology, uses the transforming force of “becoming” (devenir) (1994a, 1994b) to redefine the boundaries and the discourses of the supposedly “accentless” film and media scholarship, thus “deterritorializing” it to make it accented. Through three different segments, not meant to be watched in any specific order, I explore the accented dimensions of the videoessay’s sound (the echo, the stutter, the index of unbelonging, the simulacrum), surface (the haptic shudder, the textural affect-driven style), and thought (the becoming minoritarian, the shifting of the maker) toward a counter-hegemonic onto-epistemology of videographic criticism.

“Examining Anew”:
Authors: Crispin Darla
Published: September 2024

In common with many Viennese thinkers of his time, Arnold Schoenberg was an avid reader of the writings of Karl Kraus. In his day, Kraus was as famous for his recitations of his own works as for the writings themselves, his charismatic renderings producing almost ecstatic responses from audiences. Elias Canetti describes Kraus’ recitations as sites within which the audience was “learning how to hear”.[1] This is both about refining one’s sensitivity to sound and about becoming more sensitive to ideas that are carried upon the acoustic cantilena of the words. 
The importance of a focus upon listening cannot be over-estimated if one is trying to understand the relationship between Kraus’ style of presentation, the compositions of the Second Viennese School and performances of their works. Schoenberg saw an expression of ‘truth’ in the language of Kraus, an artist for whom what is said and how it is delivered were intimately connected but whose art’s significance lay, as Nicholas Cook has written, “not in the effects it made on the audience […] but in how far the artist, in creating it had attained ‘the origin’”.[2] This seems to echo the often problematic relationship between embodied sound and embedded idea that colours common perceptions of Schoenberg’s music. 
This article tests these claims through a case study of Schoenberg’s Herzgewächse Op. 20, linking a reassessment of its historicity with aspects of the tension between the musical material and its realisation when uncovered in performance. It suggests that the ‘remaking’ of the voice embedded in the demands written into the soprano soloist’s line becomes a series of ethically-charged encounters between composer, performer (idealised and actual) and, ultimately, audience. These encounters are fraught with hazard, redrawing the boundaries of what constitutes ‘right action’ in terms of creation, enactment and reception.

The Emergence of the Deconstructed Consumer: Exploring Shopping and Buying Behavior During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Turner Thomas F. , Childs Michelle
Published: September 2024

The coronavirus (COVID-19) that swept across the US has dramatically impacted consumer behavior. The abruptness of pandemic for individuals brought forth an opportunity for understanding the influence of COVID-19 on consumer responses. While there is a growing understanding that household spending has changed in response to COVID-19, there is a lack of a deeper understanding behind changes in consumer behavior, including consumer sentiment and motivations to alter consumption during this critical time. Therefore, this study explores the nature of buying behavior during the pandemic using an in-depth qualitative approach. Through semi-structured in-depth interviews, four major themes emerged from the data that comprise what authors term the “deconstructed” consumer. The deconstructed consumer was based on the following thematic areas: (i) “Do-it-Yourself” culture or DIY, (ii) passionate pursuits, (iii) community, and (iv) self-reflection and discovery. By exploring changes in consumption attitudes and behaviors as the crisis unfolds, we can develop an understanding of the consumer and suggest potential retailer strategy shifts that can be deployed to maneuver during uncertain times of crisis.

Modelling the Behaviour of Millennials towards the Adoption of Mobile E-Money Services in National Capital Region of the Philippines using Structural Equation Modelling
Authors: Aducal Lovely
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the behavioural intention of millennials towards the adoption of mobile e-money services. The Theory of Planned Behaviour as the theoretical foundation with Attitude, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioural Control variables and Structural Equation Modelling as the modelling technique were employed to identify what factor(s) influence the millennial’s behavioural intent. A combined online and paper-and-pencil survey form was employed to assess how electronic banking through the use of mobile e-wallets is perceived by the millennials residing in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. The sociodemographic profile of the respondents and their banking experiences, including their access to financial products and services, are other goals of this study. The research concludes that millennials’ attitude and perceived behavioural control have a significant impact on their intent to adopt mobile e-money services, and the majority have access to financial products and services. The millennials’ subjective norms have a positive effect, but it is not significant. Additionally, the respondents’ gender and whether they own a bank account or not were used for moderation analysis. The research findings showed that both variables do not have a significant effect on the links between variables. Results of this research could guide the financial regulatory bodies in their policy-making activities, the users of electronic financial products in their financial endeavours, and the government, ultimately, to achieve its financial goals.

The study focused on investigations of community participation in ecotourism development in Wof-Washa National Priority Forest Areas, using a descriptive design with mixed approach through cross-sectional survey. The study utilized systematic, stratified, and purposeful sampling methods. It also used thematic analysis for qualitative data collected through interviews, and descriptive statistics for quantitative data gathered via questionnaires. Document reviews were used to triangulated this study result with previous findings. The study findings reveal that the current status of community involvement in ecotourism development lean toward degree of tokenism (moderate level), with limited roles, as Arnstein's model, at all stages. Generally, without the participation of community, the development of ecotourism project couldn’t be possible. The researcher suggests that collaborative efforts among all relevant stakeholders are crucial to fostering community participation in the successful implementation of the ecotourism project in Wof-Washa National Priority Forest Area.

In order to avoid host defenses or maintain effective viral transmission as well as survival, viruses have developed a variety of strategies. Numerous DNA tumour viruses alter host DNA the enzymes methyl to cause epigenetic instability of hosting cells' immune-related genes regulation. Anti-tumor immune system responses were often associated with the host immunological mechanisms that were inhibited by virus-induced aberrant DNA methylation. In this instance, researchers discuss the processes including host-virus relationships that DNA tumor viruses utilize to control recipient Genome of their DNA with order to elude antimicrobial defense. This process might assist to create an immunological milieu that aids in the proliferation of malignancies. Positive outcomes are being seen in current immunotherapy investigations in treating various malignancies; yet, a considerable proportion of non-responders need the identification of new targeting for immunotherapy’s against cancer. Consequently, knowing how cancer-causing pathogens evade the immunological system could potentially reverse immunological reduction to avoid or cure related malignancies.

¿Un Derecho del Trabajo feminista? La incapacidad temporal por menstruación incapacitante secundaria o el derecho a trabajar sin dolor.
Authors: GUAMÁN ADORACIÓN
Published: September 2024

La Ley Orgánica 1/2023 por la que se modificó la Ley Orgánica 2/2010 de salud sexual y reproductiva y de la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo, introdujo en España una nueva causa de incapacidad temporal de carácter especial vinculada a la menstruación incapacitante secundaria. El objetivo del nuevo mecanismo es proteger la salud en el trabajo y el derecho a la no discriminación de las personas menstruantes, eliminando cualquier sesgo negativo en el ámbito laboral. La reforma se integra en conjunto de “reformas feministas de última generación” que, reconociendo la persistencia de discriminaciones sexo-genéricas en el ámbito laboral, establecen mecanismos para revertir las estructuras androcéntrico-patriarcales sobre las que se ha edificado el Derecho del trabajo. Ni la decisión de regular esta situación ni el instrumento elegido han estado exentas de debate y el grado de utilización de la nueva IT es limitado. La revisión del “permiso por menstruación” a la luz del marco teórico del feminismo jurídico y el
planteamiento de sus garantías y posibles elementos de mejora y complemento es el objetivo del presente artículo.
