Tracing Political Implications of the Color Red in China From 1919 to 1976
Authors: Shi Ruojin
Published: September 2024

This study explores the political implications of the color red in China from 1919 to 1976, analyzing its usage and significance within published literature through the lens of historical events and ideological shifts. Utilizing the Google Book Ngram Viewer and Voyant tools, this research traces patterns in the frequency and context of the term "红色" (red) in Chinese texts. The analysis identifies significant peaks in usage corresponding to key historical moments, including the Nanchang Uprising, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the establishment of the People's Republic of China, and the Cultural Revolution. The study finds that the color red is uniquely intertwined with political discourse in China, contrasting with other politically charged colors such as black, white, and yellow. Despite the color’s symbolic prominence, its direct references in pivotal political texts like Mao Zedong’s Quotations are relatively sparse, suggesting a complex interplay between visual symbolism and textual representation. The findings highlight the color red’s profound role in reflecting and shaping political ideologies during this transformative period in Chinese history.

Authors: Tsankov Nikolay , Damyanov Ivo
Published: September 2024

The widening scope of the application of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) is undoubtedly leading to a transformation of education in different areas of activity – one of which is unquestionably the preparation and qualification of teachers. Without focusing on the risks tied to the application of AI in education – most often concerning the credibility, security, safety and privacy of the subjects – the demand is on its potential for teaching and learning and the need for specialized training to do so. The research focuses on assessing the extent of the use of generative AI in both the everyday and professional activities of students – future teachers, with the aim of gauging the current state of attitudes and readiness for its application in future professional activity. The study sample comprises 200 students enrolled in the pedagogy professional program at both bachelor‘s and master‘s levels. The data collection was conducted via an online questionnaire with four separate groups of questions related to the use of generative AI in daily life, education, their current training, and prospects for application in professional practice. A low level of readiness for the use of generative AI by students was found, which, in turn, necessitates a reconsideration of educational practices regarding the formation and development of their digital competence, particularly concerning the application of AI. A logical relationship was found between students‘ readiness to use generative AI in education and their future professional activities related to ethical context, preparation of didactic tools, interaction with children and students, generation of educational content and development of assessment tools.

Published: September 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that can cause hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels). Diabetes can cause various complications, one of which is microangiopathy, which is damage to the vascularization of the eye. Soyghurt is a probiotic drink high in isoflavones, has preventive benefits, and can be a supplement for patients with diabetes. This study aimed to determine the vascularization picture of the eye in alloxan-induced diabetic rats and given freeze-dried soyghurt. This study is a descriptive research using Posttest Only Control Group Design. The subjects of this study were white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain, which were randomly separated into five groups, namely, three treatment groups and two control groups. Data were analyzed descriptively by describing eye vascularization assessment based on the formation of microaneurysms, hard exudates, cotton-wool spots, dot-blot & flame hemorrhages, and neovascularization. The data processing results showed that the treatment group given a combination of freeze-dried soyghurt and metformin had the highest reduction in sugar levels in diabetic rats, with an average difference of 221.5 mg/dl. The administration of alloxan at a dose of 125 mg/kg of body weight for one day did not change the histopathological picture of eye vascularization in diabetic rats. Further tests need to be conducted regarding the appropriate dose and duration of alloxan administration to see the histopathological picture of eye vascularization damage.

This article mainly discusses the requirements of classical vocal and the qualities that singers need to possess. Classical vocal has strict requirements and is influenced by different periods and languages, resulting in various singing techniques and song processing methods. An excellent singer needs to improve musical literacy in addition to having singing skills to enhance artistic expressiveness and appeal. A singer who does not have the musical literacy of self-learning can only sing mechanically. Only by mastering relevant skills can one analyze works, find emotions, and not damage the beauty of music. Music learners need to build a knowledge framework and fill it with music perception and so on. Singers need to integrate skills and emotions into the understanding of lyrics. In daily practice, I need to explore and master methods of self-learning and improving musical understanding. Through a year of learning, I realize that growth is gradual. From learning from others to innovation, a unique learning method is formed through continuous accumulation of learning experience. Having a good voice is only a congenital condition for singing well. Mastering skills and methods and engaging in strategic learning can make one sing for a longer time and better protect the voice. Learning experience is every step on the road to success for a singer. The more one has, the higher one can stand. Singers need to summarize from learning and practice and shape vivid characters through researching and controlling the voice. Building vocal instrument and controlling vocal instrument is something that singers should constantly pursue forever. First learn skills, and also let skills serve emotions and skillfully control my own vocal instrument.

Authors: Ying Lei
Published: September 2024

This research aims to analyze the influence of mental preparation and physical training on the competitive performance of Wushu Sanda players. The study will specifically concentrate on essential aspects such as goal setting, visualization, positive self-talk, attentional focus, confidence development, and emotional regulation. The survey also assesses the level of physical training in many areas, such as resistance training, explosive exercises, speed and agility exercises, flexibility training, cardiovascular conditioning, and core strength training. A dataset was obtained from a sample of 250 Wushu Sanda athletes, primarily male (68%) and aged between 18 and 21 (91%), who had been involved in the sport for 4-6 years. The results indicated that athletes place high importance on and successfully use mental preparation techniques, with notable variations seen depending on gender and age. Male and older athletes often assessed their mental preparation more favorably than their peers. The research revealed that athletes participate in high-intensity training in several domains, explicitly focusing on strength training. Sex was a significant factor in training intensity, with males demonstrating a higher engagement in high-intensity strength training. Furthermore, the research indicated favorable associations between mental preparation tactics and the level of physical training intensity. However, it was observed that enhanced cardiovascular fitness somewhat diminished the emphasis on mental preparation. A thorough periodized training program was designed based on these findings to boost Wushu Sanda competitors' psychological and physical readiness, ensuring they are ideally prepared for competition.

Background:

In response to the continual increase in the prevalence of pediatric allergic diseases in the Philippines, the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (PSAAI) and the Philippine Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (PSPGHAN) have published guidelines on the dietary prevention of allergic diseases in children.

Objective:

This guideline aims to update the previous guideline recommendations for clinicians on the use of dietary interventions for the prevention of allergic disease in children.

Methods:

Following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach specified in the Department of Health Manual for Clinical Practice Guidelines development, we systematically searched for and appraised clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews on topics formulated and prioritized by a Steering Committee, which comprised of members of the PSAAI and PSPGHAN. In the absence of an existing systematic review, a de novo systematic review was conducted. A multisectoral consensus panel reviewed the evidence summaries and formulated recommendations through a formal consensus method.

Results and conclusion:

The recommendations made by the consensus panel were based on the available evidence on the benefits and harm of the intervention, as well as the cost, feasibility, acceptability, and availability. Several research gaps exist, resulting in low levels of certainty of evidence on most dietary recommendations for the prevention of pediatric allergic diseases.

Authors: Kent Matthew E. , Collins Patrick J. , Aizer Ayal A.
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Eustachian tube dysfunction is a common side effect of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers or brain tumors, although few effective treatments exist. The Kent-Collins Protocol represents a novel therapeutic option for post-radiotherapy Eustachian tube dysfunction. Case Description: The Kent-Collins Protocol was employed in one patient with Eustachian tube dysfunction following fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for cerebral metastases from HER-2 positive breast cancer. The Kent-Collins Protocol provided relief of symptoms (conductive hearing loss, aural fullness, and otalgia) for a range of 5 to 45 minutes. The protocol could be repeated when symptoms returned to provide additional relief. The patient also reported psychological benefit from this protocol, knowing the hearing loss was reversible and not likely to be permanent. Discussion: This case demonstrates the potential of The Kent-Collins Protocol for the treatment of post-radiotherapy Eustachian tube dysfunction. The protocol is effective, inexpensive, easy to teach, and safe, offering an alternative to invasive therapies currently in existence.

Tourism has been instrumental in fostering <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">regional economic growth, enhancing the quality of life of residents, and boosting the image of urban areas in Shaanxi, thanks to the accelerated economic and social development of recent years. Nevertheless, the issue of aligning urban development and tourism in terms of space, resources, and the industrial chain remains a significant concern. This paper establishes an evaluation index system for tourism and urban development in the Shaanxi region from 2009 to 2019. It then employs the systematic coupling coordination model to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the coupling coordination degree of tourism and urban development in the region, as well as its various influencing factors. The study demonstrates that the coupling and coordination degree of tourism and urban development in the Shaanxi region exhibited a trend of continuous improvement from 2009 to 2019. The region underwent three stages of development: “uncoordinated development (2009–2011), transformation development (2012–2016), and coordinated development (2017–2019).” The coupling coordination level was elevated from “mild dissonance” to “intermediate coordination” in 2019. In contrast, the tourism economic development of Shaanxi cities remains unequal, as evidenced by the existence of two distinct categories of development: the “lagging tourism economy” and the “coordinated tourism economy.” The findings of this investigation indicate that the general trend of urban development and tourism in Shaanxi is favorable; however, the disparities in the progress of the tourism economy among cities necessitate additional regional coordination and cooperation. The theoretical support for the relevant research and a reference basis for tourism development planning and urban policy making are provided by the evaluation index system and the systematic coupling coordination model proposed in this paper. This will facilitate the sustainable and coordinated development of the tourism industry and cities in Shaanxi.

This study explores the Islamic perspective on cryptocurrency investment, focusing particularly on the intersection of Generations Z Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and their personal traits of traders. Within Islamic finance, which emphasizes ethical investing and prohibits speculative activities akin to gambling, cryptocurrency presents a unique challenge. The rapid appreciation of digital currencies and the pervasive influence of social media amplify FoMO among young investors, driving them to partake in high-risk ventures. This behavioral inclination often conflicts with Islamic principles, which advocate for risk-sharing and tangible asset-backed transactions. The study delves into how Generations Z psychological predispositions, such as overconfidence, risk tolerance, and the allure of quick gains, align or clash with Islamic ethical standards. It examines the potential for educational interventions to reconcile these differences by promoting financial literacy that aligns with Sharia law. Additionally, the study addresses the broader implications of these trends on the development of Islamic financial products tailored to digital assets, aiming to bridge the gap between religious adherence and modern investment opportunities. This research highlights the necessity for a nuanced understanding of Generations Z investment motivations and the importance of integrating Islamic ethical considerations into the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency. The method used in this study is a mixed method, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method is used to analyze multi-time series forecasting on Generations Z fear of missing out (FoMO) and their personal traits as traders. While the qualitative method is used to analyze the results of an in-depth interview and find the potential conflicts with Islamic principles advocating for minimum transaction risk and for the use tangible asset-backed transactions. The results suggest that generation Z becomes more immersed in digital and social media landscapes, their susceptibility to FoMO intensifies, driving more frequent and sometimes impulsive trading behaviours. Concurrently, as these young investors gain more experience and exposure to the cryptocurrency market, their personal traits such as risk tolerance, adaptability, and tech-savviness also evolve, potentially leading to more sophisticated trading strategies. However, these practices conflict with Islamic point of view.

This research aims to ensure sustainable tourism development in Bira Village, emphasizing environmental and cultural preservation. Effective tourism management must ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, including water, energy, and waste management, to prevent environmental degradation. Additionally, planned and sustainable tourism development can empower local communities through training and capacity building, ensuring economic benefits are directly felt by the community.The Indonesian government has strengthened the tourism sector with a focus on sustainability, identifying key destinations and supporting cultural and environmental conservation initiatives. The establishment of the Indonesian Tourism Fund supports high-quality and sustainable tourism development by financing infrastructure, destination promotion, human resource training, and environmental conservation projects. Bira Village boasts 12 maritime tourism destinations along the Bulukumba coast, with five managed by the government and seven by local communities. Despite its potential, Bira Village has not been fully optimized for tourism development. This study analyzes the collaboration between the government, private sector, and local communities to achieve sustainable tourism development in Bira Village. Using a qualitative research approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), data were collected through observations and interviews with key stakeholders. The findings highlight the importance of comprehensive promotion and marketing strategies, including online tourism marketing and community-based initiatives, to enhance tourist visits and boost the local economy. The research underscores the need for collaboration among all stakeholders to realize Bira Village's full tourism potential sustainably.

This study explores the mediating effect of knowledge acquisition on the application of knowledge within e-learning environments, focusing on key factors such as perceived ease of use, actual system use, and behavioral intention to use. In the post-pandemic context, e-learning has transitioned from a temporary solution to a fundamental aspect of higher education, necessitating an understanding of how these factors influence learning outcomes. The research employs a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design, analyzing data from 235 students at the Catholic University of Santa María in Peru. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques, the study reveals that perceived ease of use significantly enhances both knowledge acquisition and application, while actual use of the system has a complex relationship with learning outcomes. Behavioral intention to use the system also plays a crucial role, both directly and indirectly, in promoting effective knowledge acquisition and application. These findings underscore the importance of user-friendly e-learning platforms and proactive strategies to foster positive attitudes towards technology use, ensuring that students not only acquire but also effectively apply knowledge in their academic and professional lives. The results contribute to the ongoing discourse on optimizing e-learning systems for better educational outcomes.

Switching power supplies are widely popular because they are sufficiently small to fit all types of electrical appliances. Adjusting the pulse width modulation (PWM) of the switching power supply under high-frequency conditions often causes switching losses. PWM also causes electromagnetic interference (EMI) under high-frequency switching conditions. These problems can be solved using soft switching, which can adequately reduce the losses under switching conditions and EMI-induced noise. Therefore, this study describes the design and evaluation of a zero-voltage boost converter with a snubber circuit for a low-power switching power supply, which reduces the performance loss of the switching power supply under high-frequency conditions. This study was divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the use of TMS320F28377S microcontrollers, which are outstanding in their precise control and can simulate switching within the MATLAB/Simulink program environment, and studies the switching behavior of boost converters in detail, making the switching power supply high performance and reliable. The second part focuses on evaluating the performance of the boost converter under different conditions, consisting of a state stimulated by the snubber circuit and a non-stimulated state by the snubber circuit. However, the evaluation showed that the boost converter in the space activated by the snubber circuit had an 85.16% increase in performance, which was 6.75% higher than that in the no-stimulation state with the snubber circuit. Similarly, the switching power supply can control and maintain a constant voltage, and this effect is satisfactory and reliable.
