Published: May 2023

Objective: Evaluate the correlation between transoperative hemodynamic status and development of delayed graft function (DGF) in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Methods: We analyzed 42 consecutive renal transplants between May 2021 and May 2022 in a University Hospital. Four kinds of variables were assessed. Recipients variables: age, gender, race, type of dialysis, dialysis time before transplantation and residual diuresis. Donor variables: age, serum creatinine level, death cause, race, laterality of the kidney (right or left kidney), perfusion solution and Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI). Surgical variables: cold Ischemia time (CIT), vascular multiplicity, the surgeon, duration of surgery and blood pressure during the procedure. Immunological variables: Panel reactive antibodies (PRA), HLA mismatches and the need of induction therapy with antithymocyte globulin. Results: In univariate analysis, regarding recipients’ factors, type of dialysis (hemodyalisis) (p=0.004) and absence of residual diuresis (p=0.011) were significant on the development of DGF. Among the donors, only the laterality of the kidney (right kidney) was statiscally significant (p=0.005). The cold ischemia time higher than 24 hours (p=0.022), systolic blood pressure (SBP) less than 130 mmHg at reperfusion (p<0.001), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) less than 80 mmHg at the reperfusion (p<0.001), and mean MAP post-reperfusion (p=0.049) were the significant surgical factors for DGF. Among immunological factors, the patients that received antithymocyte globulin as induction therapy more frequently developed DGF (p=0.036). Only MAP < 80 mmHg (p=0.004) and SBP < 130m mmHg (p=0.005) were independent risk factors for DGF. Conclusion: In this survey, optimal renal perfusion, avoiding fall in blood pressure in the transoperative period, especially after graft reperfusion, is crucial for the immediate functioning of the kidney

Authors: Mazumder Manjurul Alam
Published: May 2023

Managing working capital is vital to the expansion and development of manufacturing companies. The performance of Bangladeshi textile industries and the implications of working capital management are the main focus of this study. Working capital is represented by the inventory conversion period, receivable collection cycle, payable deferral cycle, and cash conversion cycle, whereas firm performance is determined by ROA. From 2013 to 2022 ten years panel data were collected from the annual reports of ten listed textile companies of Bangladesh. Panel Least Square (PLS), fixed affect, random effect, and the Hausman test were all executed using the STATA program to determine the influence of independent factors on the dependent factor. The ROA of Bangladesh's textile industries was found to be significantly affected by the Inventory Conversion time, Receivables Collection time, and Cash Conversion Circle, but not by the Payable Deferral time.
Saudi College Students’ Home Reading Practice Environment
Authors: Alluhaydan Hamad Mohammed
Published: May 2023

The current study describes the status of the Saudi home reading practice environment. A survey was used to identify the major factors affecting Saudi home reading practice such as, the time spent reading at home, the availability of reading materials and the social educational environment (parents’ education, siblings, family, friends). There was a positive correlation between reading practice, speaking about reading, buying books using personal budget, reading personal list, age, reading in another language, reading outside of school curriculums, the home reading practice, and Saudis daily practice of reading. It was common for Saudis to share reading materials and speak about what they had read. Most Saudi readers did not have a reading list but based their reading books choices on recommendations from family members, classmates, or friends. Saudis who received books as gifts were more likely to practice reading. Teachers, especially ESL teachers, must encourage Saudis to practice reading out of school or work to enhance their literacy skills.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Political Situation in Russia from the Perspectives of Thucydides, Max Weber, and Michel Foucault
Authors: Xu Yiwei
Published: May 2023

With the current situation in Europe regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the political situation of Russia has generated high interest. The research topic of this paper is the political situation of Russia. To understand the current political situation, the historical situation of the Russian Federation must be explored first. Both historical and modern situations were explored from the three key aspects of authority, motive, and surveillance. Max Weber's theory on authority and domination was used to analyze the historical authorities within Russia leading up to the 1905 Revolution as well as in the 1917 Civil war and eventually the USSR. Thucydides' account of the Speech of the Athenians was used to explore the true motive behind Russia's various advancements in Europe. Lastly, surveillance throughout Russia's lengthy history was studied with references to Michel Foucault's theory of disciplinary power. The study found that throughout the history of the Russian Empire, ambition has been the main motivator behind its numerous advancements. Mass and extreme surveillance has also been a persistent trend in the nation as well as during the USSR. This may indicate that the modern political situation in Russia mirrors its past situations.
An Analysis of the Correct Use of Female Gaze from the Perspective of Gaze Theory -- A Case study of Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Authors: Fan Xiaoyi
Published: May 2023

Feminism is currently popular, and there are an increasing number of feminist films attempting to promote this idea. Some scholars have expanded the theory of gaze into feministic fields, most notably Laura Mulvey, who proposed the concept of the male gaze. Following that, the theory of the female gaze was developed in response to the theory of the male gaze. However, the use of the female gaze in many films is incorrect, and the gaze theory lacks a clear definition of the female gaze. Using gaze theory, the study investigates the proper use of the female gaze in feministic films. First, the research points out some representations of the pseudo-female gaze: directors only change the protagonist's gender, transforming a male into a female with a female performing male functions; they maintain a male gaze while incorporating feminist themes; the portrayal of females is stereotypical and idealistic, not delving into their true inner thoughts. Then Taking the film Portrait of a Lady on Fire as an example, the outcome demonstrates that the correct female gaze used in films has the following characteristics: Characters can be aware of and object to the gaze; It is the gaze as equal seeing; It is the gaze that focuses on the feelings and experiences of the characters. All these characteristics can be used in future feministic films to help improve audiences' understanding of the female gaze and to help get rid of the pseudo-female gaze in films.
The Impact of the “Show IP Location” Policy on Geographical Discrimination Based on the Comments on Mainstream Chinese Youth Video Websites “Bilibili”
Authors: Zhang Xiaolin
Published: May 2023

A new policy to show IP location is promulgated by the Chinese government in 2022. Since then, mainstream Chinese social media, including video sites and forums, has to display the provincial IP address of the person who posted the video or article, meaning social media users will be able to see where the article is posted from. This paper collects comments from “Bilibili”, a mainstream video site for young Chinese, and analyzes the content of each comment to determine whether they contain geographically discriminatory content. By comparing the number of geographically discriminatory comments on videos before and after the policy enactment, the author found that the new policy has increased the likelihood of geographic discrimination. In fact, users are more likely to notice the address of the commentator when viewing comments and respond to the commentator in a geographically discriminatory way in relation to the comment content. Looking at the downward trend in geographically discriminatory comments, the author concludes that the decline is partly due to a decline in the novelty of new features among Internet users. Meanwhile, the author summarizes four different types of geographic discrimination, including regional stereotypes, opposing viewpoints generated by unbalanced regional development, international stereotypes, and negative nationalist mentality that arises from political reasons.

Overlapping and Complicating: Analysis of the Effects of Experiments on Shaping Relationships between Female Characters in films on Feminist Attempts
Authors: Wang Daiwei
Published: May 2023

Films involve a great number of stereotyped implications currently. For years, research on film studies and gender studies has been primarily focused on the transition of thread screenwriters, film directors, and editors could use for the creation of more real and inspiring female characters. However, few studies have focused on a fundamental structure of films, the relationships between characters. In 2020, scientists at the Ben Gurion University and Nottingham University Business School found a method to reveal links between characters appearing in the Star Wars Movies Series when they set out to find the closing gender gap in the Series. Although the 2020 study relied on network and machine learning algorithms in the largest part of the instigation, the methods it utilized are of pioneering endeavor because the social network between characters in the films was considered and weighted. To eliminate and seek out more positive effects films could have on feminist attempts, experiments on relationships between female characters are analyzed in this paper on a more literary level and accepts psychoanalytic and behavioral psychology. The methods utilized focus on implementing case studies on experimental attempts on creating overlapping and complicated relationships between female characters. This paper will also emphasize the inspiring 2020 study.
The Feminist Characteristics of Chinese Films of the 1990s
Authors: Wang Menghan
Published: May 2023

In China, the 1990s was a time of profound sociopolitical, economic, and cultural transformation. Emerging particularly after Deng Xiaoping’s 1992 speech establishing a socialist market economy, consumer culture as a new social and cultural trend steadily impacted the logic of artistic production. As an all-encompassing product of commodity, art, and ideology, the film depicts the transformation of the social and cultural environment from the standpoint of internal aesthetic awareness, interpretation, and text forms to exterior distribution and consumption. The emergence of consumer culture in the 1990s caused the dissolution of the meta-narrative of the 1980s, and the focus on grand themes such as collectivity, nationalism, class, and history has shifted to everyday life. Artistic creativity has sought convergence with the aesthetic sensibilities of the public while expressing subjective awareness. Against the cultural background of Chinese art production in the 1990s, this paper interprets the unique cultural characteristics of Chinese films of the period and investigates the expression of feminism in films, investigating the consumer turn, the emergence of popular culture, and the change in cultural discourse power in an effort to uncover new trends and developments in Chinese film.
The Embodiment and Effects of Feminism in Disney Films in the 20th and 21st
Authors: Yi Sitian
Published: May 2023

With the rise of feminism, the female characters in Disney's animated films break away from the original female stereotypes. The feminist content in Disney has evolved with the wave of the feminist movement. More and more brave, astute and independent female characters appear in movies. Compared with the simple princess movies, which tell the story of the elegant but weak princess who is rescued by the prince, these new female characters reflect the change of people's thoughts. These feminist contents promote the concept of gender equality, show the diversity of women's beauty, and deepen people's self-affirmation. However, some evidence shows that Disney characters have deformed aesthetics and tend to cause unhealthy body control. But people can improve this problem by being tolerant of beauty’s distance and paying attention to the beauty within. Parents can also guide their children to learn about women's rights in movies so that the improved Disney movies can play a more positive role.
Rebuilding from the Ruins: Miracle of Postwar Japan’s Economy
Authors: Hu Haolin
Published: May 2023

This article studies the economic success of Japan in the postwar period and explores it from the perspective of political economy. The economic success of Japan in the second half of the 20th century is visible. After World War II's end, Japan's economy was destroyed entirely, and the industrial system also collapsed. Tokyo was burned to the ground during the air attack, and Mount Fuji could be seen from anywhere in Tokyo. Still, as a defeated country, it chased after western developed nations with an astonishing speed and had remarkable success, making scholars wonder about why Japan's high-speed development. Since the idea that the economy is the foundation of national development has become common sense, scholars continually argue about the best method to develop the economy. In the second half of the 20th century, Neoliberalism flourished gradually and dominated the mainstream in the west. However, the "Miracle of Japan's economy" proved to the world that statism and the political economy also could bring remarkable success to socioeconomic development with great competitiveness. Therefore, studying the "Miracle of Postwar Japan's Economy" is vital because it provides a more comprehensive view for scholars and reveals the truth that the economy's success is multipath. In the article, the author focuses on two Japanese policies on the economy to explore their influence and result. The first policy is "Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act", and the other is the "Inclined Production Mode". This article believes Japan's success in the postwar period resulted from political economy.
Physical Discipline and Physical Liberation Masculine Clothing as an Example
Authors: Xu Wenduo
Published: May 2023

The body-mind dualism has led to a focus on the spiritual and neglect of the physical, while intersecting with gender factors, resulting in the extreme devaluation of women and their bodies. As a result, the female body becomes an important site of discipline for women, through dress and grooming. This study attempts to elucidate how women’s physical discipline and physical liberation occur by masculine dress. Starting from symbolic violence, the study elaborates on the regulation of women’s bodies by masculine clothing in terms of both capitalism and gender; it also explains how women can liberate themselves through dressing masculine by rebelling against traditional images, breaking the consistency of biological gender and social gender, and escaping the domination of the male gaze. Therefore, when women have a more thorough understanding of dressing itself, they can better perceive their position and its complexity, and promote women’s liberation through individual practice.
The Reasons behind Europe’s Double Standard Attitude toward Refugees from Mena and Ukraine
Authors: Gu Shining
Published: May 2023

In the face of the European refugee crisis in 2015 and the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Europe has shown opposite attitudes towards two types of refugees. Europe seems to be more welcoming to Ukrainian refugees than it is to some MENA refugees. This study explores the reasons behind such “double standards” through religion, language, stereotypes of MENA, and Eurocentrism. The study results show that the double standard attitude of Europe towards MENA refugees and Ukrainian refugees is mainly reflected in the reports of the news media and the policies issued for refugees. The study points out that the relatively negative attitude towards MENA refugees in Europe stems from the contradiction between Islam and Christianity, the fundamental ethnic and linguistic connection between MENA and Ukrainians and Europeans, and the social construction of European perceptions of MENA. Ultimately, Eurocentrism allowed Europe to help its countrymen, the Ukrainian refugees. This study compared the differences between MENA refugees and Ukrainian refugees, laying a foundation for future research on refugee issues. Moreover, this study advocates equal humanitarian assistance to refugees from the perspective of a community of shared futures for mankind.
The Impact of the Menem Government's Economic Policies on Argentina through a Before-and-after Comparison Method
Authors: Zhang Junpeng
Published: May 2023

In the 1980s, Argentina's economy fell into recession, with inflation at 5,000%, persistent government deficits and high debt, and capital outflows exacerbated by Argentina's territorial war with Britain in 1982. In 1989, Carlos Menem (1930-2021), leader of the Argentine Justice Party, was elected president of Argentina. In response to the economic crisis, he vigorously pursued neoliberalism during his tenure, emphasizing less government intervention and encouraging free trade and financial liberalization. During his first term, Argentina's economy grew by leaps and bounds. Because of his economic success, Carlos Menem won the presidential election in 1995. He defeated his rivals by a wide margin and became the first elected president of Argentina. However, in 2001, Argentina was hit by a severe economic crisis. Many scholars believe that Menem's policies were one of the causes of Argentina's economic crisis. Most scholars focus on the economy during Menem's time, but do not consider the impact of Menem's economic policies on Argentina in the post-Menem era. The subject of this paper is the impact of Menem's economic policies on Argentina. This paper will use a before-and-after approach to analyze the impact of economic policies on Argentina. Menem's economic policy was an attempt to get Argentina out of its economic difficulties. Menem's economic policies did not take into account Argentina's own situation; Menem was responsible for the 2001 crisis, but not all of the blame can be placed on Menem. However, Menem's economic policies during this period completely changed the structure of the Argentine economy, with irreversible results. To this day, Argentina is still unable to escape the legacy of Menem's economic policies.

This paper explores whether Ukraine has gained economic benefits from it after it acceded to the WTO and is expected to play a role. Generally, the public believes that joining the WTO can help countries integrate into global development. However, under many WTO reform items, whether small economies can preserve their economic benefits without being impacted by strong competition from foreign countries has become a question worth exploring. This analysis explains a series of consequences brought by Ukraine after the economic policy reform from deregulation, state-owned enterprises reform, and government procurement advocated by the WTO in the perspective of constructivism and indicates the pros and cons of the removal of trade barriers on the social and economic development of small economies like Ukraine.

The EU has a steady connection with more than 150countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,as well as other international organizations. In addition to rendering financial support and participate in dialogues with member states, investigation and evaluation are also being conducted to ensure these aids are used with efficiency. However, EU appears to be losing its effect in dealing with UK’s withdrawal. In 23rd  January, 2013, British former prime minister David Cameron put forward Brexit vote for the first time. In 6th 2016, UK vote to leave EU. In 16th March, 2017, the Queen of England approved Brexit withdrawal bill and authorized the then prime minister Theresa May to start the process of Brexit. In 29th March, the process was officially launched, and UK should leave EU formally in 29th March, 2019, according to the agreement between UK and EU. In 12th June, 2018, UK released Brexit White Paper and 27 leaders among EU except UK voted unanimously for the Brexit draft deal. By collecting the relative information regarding EU cooperating with Germany, France and other developing countries, the subject of this article is to examine the importance of domestic policies. This article found that domestic policies plays a vital role for a country to choose whether or not to stay at an international organization. Because of the concern of the immigration, UK government chose to withdraw from EU. By tackling the issue of migration properly, UK could still be a member of EU.
Applying Punctuated-Equilibrium Theory to Analyze the Evolving Process of Socioeconomic Policies in Post-war Taiwan
Authors: Xiao Zhengyu
Published: May 2023

This research paper investigates the evolving socioeconomic policies in post-war Taiwan. To better conceptualize and comprehend the dynamics of policy fluctuations and stability, this paper adopts the Punctuated-Equilibrium Model (PEM), which is a model to explain the process of policy stability and changes, to illustrate key variables in policymaking and make the historical review of Taiwan development more predigested. This study in a historical approach by applying the PEM to analyze the policy shifts in Taiwan is unprecedented, and extend the original theoretical model more applicable in a system with both authoritarian system, democratic system and a transition from underdeveloped economy to a modernized economy as the case of Taiwan have demonstrated. Both domestic empirical evidence and comparative researches will be applied to embed the theoretical model into the case. And the results showed that Taiwan’s socioeconomic policy development can be categorized into five different stages in accordance with the PEM, namely Equilibrium of Authoritarian Stability from 1950-1958, First Punctuation from 1958-1965, Equilibrium of Active Statism from 1965-1986, Second Punctuation from 1986-2000, and Equilibrium of Democratic Stability since 2000. In the first punctuation, the freeze of US aid, the incapacity of import substitution strategy and the need for further economic development reframed the government’s policy to be more active in advancing socioeconomic development. In the second punctuation, the imbalance between economic and social development, with the failed political agenda which encouraged the rise of Taiwanese nationalism, produced negative feedback to the policy framing. The policy venues consequently shifted from the government to the opposing groups and public arenas, which eventuated the liberalization and democratization.
Impact of the Policies Implemented by the United States in Response to the COVID-19
Authors: Huang Zhiqiang
Published: May 2023

The global and American economies have been completely upended by the coronavirus disease pandemic, which has killed a sizable number of people and forced the closure of vital industries. As a result of the pandemic, there have been more business failures, less private investment, less value chain integration, and a loss of both human and productive capital. Even though there is uncertainty surrounding the outlook for U.S. economic growth, the outbreak has had a significant impact. As a result, the US has released numerous policies in response to COVID-19 to support the country's economic recovery. In addition to research data from some books and websites, this study analyzes data from the Federal Reserve's forecast of the US gross domestic product. The primary focus of this study is on the economic policies implemented by the United States to promote economic recovery following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, research how these policies impact the recovery of the US economy. Research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered both the production and consumption capacities of consumers and businesses. The American government has implemented a significant fiscal stimulus in response to the economic unrest. Given the effectiveness of these policies in increasing consumption and the relative supply inelasticity, supply chain bottlenecks and elevated prices may result. However, it should be acknowledged the beneficial impact that the government's generous assistance has had on this historically significant crisis. The US government's CARES Act, which it passed in response to the recent crown epidemic, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tools have started to influence the US economy's recovery.

This paper will analyze the current anti-corruption legal system against transnational corporations in China and other countries, and use the method of comparison and case study to find deficiencies in Chinese laws. Through the analysis, it is concluded that China should formulate a special Anti-commercial Bribery Law in order to improve the legislation in relevant fields.
Punitive Damages for Corporations in China: Establishment and improvement
Authors: Lin Shurun
Published: May 2023

Punitive damages are remedies for non-specific subjects like communities without specific rights suffering from illegal behaviors. Having the functions of compensation, punishment, and prevention, punitive damages are the necessary solution to the inherent deficiencies in current remedy system in China that both civil and public remedies can hardly cover the losses of communities. However, punitive damages are misunderstood theoretically and practically in China. Traditional critics like caseload of courts, lack of procedural protections, ineffectiveness in punishment and deterrence, and overlapping in functions cannot deny the necessity of establishing punitive damages. Meanwhile, punitive damages in Chinese legal system cannot fit in with their functions, comparing with legal practice in the US. This issue is mainly the result of the inadequate application conditions, narrow scope of factors, and single distribution of damages, which are also the issues to be resolved when reconstructing the punitive damages system. Based on legal analysis of positive law and judicial practice in both America and China, this article attempts to justify the necessity of punitive damages as well as putting forward some approaches to the reconstruction of punitive damages in China.

However, with the continuous coverage of COVID-19, The New York Times and other English-language media tried to attach a political attribute to a global plague by shifting the topic and distorting the facts, which is also an important reason for this paper to study the bias of The New York Times in its coverage of China's COVID-19 in 2021. Based on The New York Times’ news coverage of COVID-19 in China in 2021, this paper highlights the bias of New York Times from four aspects: the origin of COVID-19, the effectiveness of China-made vaccines, China's epidemic prevention policies, and China's COVID-19 data. This paper adopts the text analysis method to summarize the reporting tendency of The New York Times by selecting the news reports that are in line with the time and subject scope, analyzing the core of their reporting content and internal context meaning.

Network service providers have taken on a more prominent part in the process of Internet governance in recent years as one of the important subjects of cyberspace. Criminal justice dilemmas like ambiguous semantics of network service providers, a failure to distinguish between different types of network service providers, and difficulties in convicting network service providers frequently arise when it becomes necessary to assess the criminal law of network service providers. In this paper, the author analyzes the reasons behind the dilemma through the legal norm analysis method, such as the diversification of network services and the high-speed development trend of network technology, the difficulty of unifying the classification standards, and the large differences in the types of network services, and the controversial application of new crimes. Based on this, with reference to the relevant provisions of foreign countries, and based on the existing legal environment in China, network service providers should be divided into two types from the subjective and objective aspects. At the same time, the specific semantics, scope of obligations, and scope of criminal imputation under their respective types should be clarified in order to achieve a more reasonable and feasible path of criminal liability fixation, so as to help the judicial authorities define the subject of network service providers more efficiently, and conviction and sentencing more accurately.

In 2020, Ding Zhen, a Tibetan youth in China, became popular on the Internet for a short video, and after he became popular and received strong support from the official media, his popularity declined due to the exposure of his earlier smoking video, and there were even many memes made based on his shortcomings that contained flirtatious and ironic meanings. This paper adopts the method of questionnaire survey and study of past literature to come up with the reasons for the popularity of Ding Zhen and its memes appearing and being spread and the influence of these memes being spread. Reasons are: First, the rebellion against the mainstream narrative to create a perfect public image for Ding Zhen; Second, the role of the pan-entertainment deconstruction and the Internet carnival phenomenon. In terms of impact, the paper argues that these online obsessions can intensify gender antagonism in cyberspace, contribute to the trend of pan-entertainment on social platforms, and adversely affect the outreach of China's minority policies.

With the establishment of the strategic partnership between ASEAN and the EU in 2020, both sides have gained positive developments in different areas. ASEAN’s economic partnership has been enhanced, but it has also created new challenges and dilemmas for ASEAN’s development model. This study discusses the political, economic, and cultural challenges in the context of the new EU-ASEAN strategic partnership. As a regional organization, ASEAN has a loose organizational structure and flexible operational mechanisms, showing trends of internal integration and openness to the outside world. However, at the same time, ASEAN suffers from the dilemma of an inherently inadequate organizational structure, over-reliance on the economies of major powers, and declining influence in regional cooperation. In addition, under the analytic perspective of World-systems theory and the theoretical model of “regional whole”, the EU has increased its cooperative relations with ASEAN to resist China’s influence. There is also a clear non-reciprocity in EU-ASEAN cooperation. The resources the EU can mobilize are becoming more limited, which leads to the difficulties of achieving the strategic goals between EU and ASEAN.
