Authors: Meng Fanjie , Xue Yanyu
Published: April 2023

Music therapy, also known as music therapy, or music medicine, is an emerging and interdisciplinary discipline that integrates music, medicine, and psychology. The idea and clinical application of music therapy have been around for a long time, but it was founded as a discipline in the 1950s. After half a century, music therapy has developed considerably and shows a bright future. Music therapy has developed rapidly in a relatively short period due to its outstanding applicability and has gradually transformed into a bio-psycho-social model. This paper describes the scope of music therapy and reviews the development of music therapy in China and abroad. It focuses on the role and development of music therapy in the field of special education. Orff music therapy is a very effective music therapy method, which combines music, dance, language, rhythm and so on effectively. The paper presents the whole process of training children with intellectual disabilities using the Orff music therapy method including playful and improvisational music activities, combined with language training, and music and body movement methods. It also envisages the shortcomings in the future development of this emerging fringe discipline

Authors: Yuan Ximan
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to trace the legacy of the Gracchi brothers and the effect of their reform throughout the republican era, specifically over how it foreshadows the collapse of the Republic. Although the reform implemented by the Gracchus brothers failed, it is still of great historical importance because it reveals the corrupted nature of Roman republic while taking the socioeconomic background into consideration to predict the downfall Rome. The downfall of the Gracchi brothers was primarily resulted from the majority of the senators whose interests were against the reform measures because the benefits for the majority were built on the lost of the senators. As a result, the Senate refused to accept changes of any sort and rejected an opening advancement proposed to improve the welfare of the People, leading to the tragedy of the death of Gracchi brothers.

The Relation Between Architectural Style of Different Dynasties and the Sociocultural Context in Ancient China: A Comparative Study of Architectural Style in Tang and Ming Dynasty
Authors: Li Runlin
Published: April 2023

The Tang empire marked the peak of imperial China as it was one of the greatest superpowers in the world of its time. The Daming Palace that represented the empires authority and strength was also of glory. It was an unprecedentedly magnificent compound built to demonstrate the supremacy of the vast empire to all its people and visitors. Despite the empires mightiness, rising warlords and corrupt bureaucrats destroyed it from within as well as the Daming Palace. After the downfall of Tang, China experienced a long period of chaos and another Han-ruled empire was only to be seen five contraries later. The Ming empire reorganized regimes in China and the Forbidden City in Beijing, which still exists today, demonstrates in silence the changes of Chinese society.
From the changes in symbolism significance and more deliberate distinction of the royaltys privilege, as the one chosen by god, from others in the empire, we can connect the social changes with the surfacing changes of buildings. For example, the Ming government had more control at local levels so that they could collect more taxes and nip any potential threat to the central government in the bud. The government also conducted an embargo in coastal areas to protect them from foreign invaders. To eliminate all threats to the throne, the empire set up a secret police force that supervised the society from nobilities to peasants. All these policies lead to a stricter social stratification that was visible through the changes in architecture.
The changes in politics and economic aspects such as taxation lead us to one conclusion, which is the strengthening of the centralization of power and an extension of governance to lower levels. And this study is planned to unveil the connections between the changes in architectural and social developments.

Authors: Zeng Yuqiao
Published: April 2023

This paper mainly studies people's misunderstanding of Japanese traditional archery because of The influence of Chinese culture and the substantial influence of Chinese culture on Japanese traditional archery. This paper adopts qualitative research methods to compare and study the literature.

Can Virtue Ethics Derived from Neo-Aristotelianism be Perfectly Self-Explanatory
Authors: Chen Su
Published: April 2023

As a result of the rise of neo-Aristotelianism in recent times, the discussion of 'virtue' has led to the question of whether virtue ethics can exist as a sound system. Prior to this, there was no normative standard for 'virtue', deontology ignored human nature, and utilitarianism focused more on instrumental reason, ignoring the plurality of the 'good'. Anscombe defined 'virtue ethics' in his Modern Moral Philosophy, and Nussbaum built on this by arguing that goodness does not depend only on the rationality of the actor, but also on morality and institutions, and Hesterhaus provided a normative interpretation of virtue ethics from an Aristotelian standpoint. However, as virtue ethics defines and regulates virtue ethics, it is difficult to form a logically coherent system, as either virtue ethics is more or less connected to other ethics, and there are even contradictions between specific claims.
Lift the Multiple Veils on Genders Roles in Blue Velvet
Authors: Zhou Shuxuan
Published: April 2023

This essay aims to illustrate how gender performativity exhibits gender roles in David Lynchs movie Blue Velvet. This essay brings about the collapse of the stereotyped traditional binary opposition of gender roles. Gender roles rely on the performance of people. However, peoples performances are restricted by society, which has various possibilities. Based on Performative Acts and Gender Constitution (1988) by Judith Butler, this paper analyzes four protagonists various gender performances in Blue Velvet. By going deeper into the psychoanalysis of protagonists and analyzing their behavior choices, this essay argues that Lynch intends to inform his viewers that there is no fixed gender role even in one single person. Through exhibiting the diversity of gender roles, various social environments are presented. David Lynch believes that once peoples gender roles become peaceful, the social environment can also exhibit a peaceful and mild image. This finding contributes to the subversion of gender roles in Blue Velvet.
Conceptual Analysis of the 3E System Based on New Human Capital Theory
Authors: Su Manlin
Published: April 2023

The contradiction between energy supply and demand, environmental protection, and economic development is becoming more and more obvious. How to coordinate and balance the relations between energy, environment, and economy has become a common concern of scholars. In this context, the Energy-Environment-Economy (3E) system is gradually maturing, and up to now, the 3E system has been widely used in the evaluation of the development of various regions. In order to make the 3E system closer to the real social situation in the application, the measured results have more practical significance. Based on the new human capital theory, this paper summarizes and analyzes the relevant research literature, and discusses the influence of population on the three subsystems of energy, economy, and environment in the 3E system. It is found that population has an impact on each subsystem, among which it is worth noting that the impact of population on the environmental subsystem is diverse and complex, so the current situation of the 3E system is different from the theory. The article examines the impact of population on the 3E system in order to optimize and complement the 3E system.

Since reform and opening up, China's economy has grown rapidly, while a heavy environmental price has also been paid. Today under the goal of "dual carbon", it is urgent to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises to achieve green development. This paper takes the manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong province as the research sample, and takes the environmental regulation of the "Eleventh Five-Year " policy as the quasi-natural experiment, and empirically explores the impact of environmental regulation on the transformation of enterprises through the PSM-DID method. This work finds that what affect companies R&D expenses significantly are those nonpolicy factors. And the increase of years of company operation and income will promote the investment in innovation of the enterprise. The paper concludes that increasing the input of R&D by executing environmental restriction policy is not reliable, and environmental regulation may require further intervention in firm internal performance to be effective.

Authors: Wu Ting Yu
Published: April 2023

Amidst the thriving food delivery platforms, stand two of the largest food delivery corporations: Uber Eats and Ele.me, in which are two of the two leading food delivery industries in the U.S and China. Due to the geographical and societal differences between the two countries, their business models deviate from each other. Uber Eats core value is to provide quality food and service, while Ele.mes core value is to provide cheap and valuable discounts for its customers. Uber Eats targets the food deliverers while Ele.me does not. The reasons for these distinctions are mainly because of the differences between the customers of the U.S market and Chinas market, and the infrastructural differences as well. The business model of the companies are successful mainly when accompanied by the right market and right conditions, however, they may not be as successful when under divergent circumstances. This paper shall investigate the differences between the U.S and China to account for their unalike business models.
Implication of Momentum Crash in Covid-19
Authors: Zhou Haoyu
Published: April 2023

This article seeks to investigate momentum strategy from January 2001 to June 2021 and establishes three types of consequences of momentum collapse triggered by covid-19. I demonstrate the validity of three types of implication, which are narrowing the window of positive return for momentum strategies, widening the average return gap between past winners and losers, and diminishing profit in the WML portfolio (winner minus loser) over time. Finally, I do further research in both the covid-19 and normal periods, and find that past winners and losers are more vulnerable to momentum crashes, as evidenced by a big reversal of return.

Published: April 2023

Residents satisfaction of students depends on quality residential facilities, quiet study environment and positive roommate relationships. For this purpose, the present study aims to analyze determinants of residents satisfaction with hostel facilities by using a convenience sampling to collect 500 residents of public and private hostels from a metropolitan city of Pakistan i.e. Faisalabad. The logistic regression model was employed to estimate the impact of hostel facilities on resident satisfaction. The Results infer that different facilities; mess, kitchen, washroom, electricity, water supply, cleanliness, staff, security, accommodation, and bedroom, have a significant impact on the residents satisfaction. However, a non-significant level of certain variables exposed that these variables are not playing an important role in the resident's satisfaction, so the hostel administration does not need to spend money and time to provide these facilities for hostel residents. The present study results implied that the management should focus on those factors where the residents are assigning positive values to increase resident satisfaction. It will have a significant impact on the revenue streams of the hostel business.

Is Bitcoin a Safe Haven for US Equity Market? --A Comparison with Gold and the Dollar
Authors: Hu Jiawen , Zhang Ziying , Gao Yubo , Chen Shengduo
Published: April 2023

This paper examines whether Bitcoin is an excellent hedge asset by applying the GARCH model. First, the correlation test finds that bitcoin's returns against the US dollar and gold are not significantly correlated. Also, based on comparisons across events, bitcoin returns perform more neutrally, unlike traditional hedges such as gold, which exhibit a significant negative correlation between performance and hedge in an emergency. In addition, the high volatility of Bitcoin compared to other varieties suggests that investors choosing to invest in Bitcoin will expose to high-risk return volatility. Therefore, bitcoin is more of a speculative asset than a safe haven.

Authors: Zuo Guanghong
Published: April 2023

This study attempts to evaluate whether offshore RMB(CNH) is a hedging asset. Current research in this field is few and far between, so the introduction of more data and models would be helpful to enrich relevant studies. We use data that covers the period from 2010 to 2021. Various means of analysis, including vector auto-regression(VAR) model, impulse response function, and heterogeneity test, are deployed to answer our research question. In line with prior research, we found RMBs inability to function as a safe-haven asset. Nevertheless, we found preliminary evidence that the Renminbi is going global. Another unanticipated result is that inefficiency in the foreign exchange market is observed in terms of two-way trading of RMB to JPY.

The Solution Strategies of Financing Constraint Predicament of Digitalized Empowerment of Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
Authors: Liu Yuxi
Published: April 2023

Micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have been an important part of our country's economy for many years. However, their survival and development are always affected by the phenomenon of financing constraints, which has resulted in non-negligible consequences for the development of the national economy. This paper utilizes with a large amount of data and information, and uses the method of induction and deduction to summarize the reasons for the financing constraint phenomenon from three levels, and puts forward corresponding solutions for different levels. The causes of financing constraints are divided into three levels. First, at the micro level, MSMEs cannot meet the expectations of investors and the requirements of mortgage loans. Secondly, at the industry level, due to the relative backwardness of the capital market. Finally, at the national level, local governments have not fundamentally solved the problems of financing difficulty and slow financing for MSMEs. In order to solve the above problems, this paper puts forward three different solutions. At the enterprise level, the enterprise should actively use digital technology to improve its own operating capability and operational compliance; Small and medium-sized banks should use new media and other technologies to strengthen ties with customers and improve service quality and data processing capabilities. At the industry level, big banks should help the small and medium-sized banks to accelerate the digital transformation. At the national level, local governments should provide policies including but not limited to financial support for the digital transformation of MSMEs.

Published: April 2023

The digital economy has become a new engine for high-quality economic development, with a profound impact on economic, social, and residents' welfare. The data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) are used to analyze the function and effects of the digital economy on residents' income growth and income disparity using the "Broadband China" strategic program as a natural experiment. The results of the empirical analysis confirm the role of digital economy development in promoting residents' income; the heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive impact of digital economy development on residents' income is greater for households in developed eastern regions, and non-agricultural households, and households with high years of education. The mechanism analysis shows that enhancing human capital investment and widening social networks through increased spending on education and human gifts, respectively, and increasing income from working outside the home significantly increase residents' income. The results of this study have significant ramifications for the development of the digital economy, steady income growth among inhabitants, and consequently, the closing of the income gap.

Authors: Huang Yuting , Lin Jiameng
Published: April 2023

In recent years, the digital economys development has affected all aspects of society, of which residential consumption is a very important part. Currently, domestic research of the digital economy on consumption is on the rise, but most of the current research is theoretical analysis, lacking empirical results and related impact mechanisms. Based on the data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in 2010 and 2014, this paper uses the "Broadband China" strategy released in 2013 as a natural experiment of the digital economy, and applies the difference-in-difference (DID) method to estimate the digital economys impact on the consumption of residents. The study finds that the development of the digital economy has a significant positive effect on residents' consumption, mainly through three paths: social capital, human capital and income effect. The examination of heterogeneity reveals that the central region, urban residents, the middle and high education level, and the middle income group are the main beneficiaries of the digital economy's promotion of consumption, and the further study finds that the digital economys impact on residents' consumption is concentrated on subsistence consumption.
Research on carbon emissions of production-consumption sectors under the background of "Double Carbon" Take Beijing as an example
Authors: He Zilong , Zhang Keyu
Published: April 2023

With the development of the Green and Low-carbon, Beijing has set a model for other provinces and cities in carbon emissions reduction, and it will help achieve the goal of carbon peaking rapidly. This paper studies various influencing factors of carbon emissions from both production and consumption by improving the Kaya identity. Through analyzing productive and consumptive CO2 emissions of Beijing with LMDI technology, this paper finds that: (1) For the production sectors in Beijing, the total carbon emissions exhibited a downward trend, and the energy intensity factor was the foremost factor to restrain the increase of carbon emissions, while the restraining effects of energy structure factors and industrial structure factors were limited, and the total production promoted emissions to increase significantly. (2) For the living sectors in Beijing, the total carbon emissions first increased and then decreased, and the urban and rural structural factor played a weak inhibitory role in the increase of CO2. The population and energy intensity were significantly promoted the increase of it. Therefore, this paper proposes to continue to adjust the structure of industry and urban, develop clear energy and make full use of energy, so as to realize the "dual-carbon" goal earlier.

IKEA furniture is assembled like a giant Lego block, and foods such as hot dogs and ice cream cones are both delicious and inexpensive. On the market, there is no comparable store. It is noteworthy that IKEA is the first place that most people think of when they need furniture, but there are no other options available. This raises the research question of why IKEAs marketing strategy is successful. IKEAs success can be measured in three ways: the 4ps strategy, experiential marketing, and scene marketing. IKEAs structure comprises the 4ps: product, price, promotion, and placement. The success of IKEAs marketing strategy doesnt only depend on the 4P theory. In addition, the scene marketing strategy enables individuals to immerse themselves in the scenarios that IKEA creates for its customers, heightening their senses, touching, seeing, and so on. Then, using the experiential marketing strategy, IKEA lets people try out the benefits of its products. As a consequence, IKEAs sales increased, and it became prosperous. Ikeas success depends on this marketing. These strategies would not have made IKEA as successful if used alone. These marketing strategies work together to make IKEA profitable.

Authors: Becerra Jesus Ramon Jaimes , Chaglla Jimena Alexandra Campaa , Valencia Nuvia Maribel Renteria , Alcivar Josselin Magdalena Intriago
Published: April 2023

The idea of a green central bank digital currency (CBDC) has been mentioned by some institutions such as the Congress of the United States and private companies, but it has not been explained. It is intuitive that this concept refers to a way of issuing or using CBDCs by taking the environment into con- sideration. In this research, it is explored a way that this could work by limiting the CBDC issuance to the total renewable energy production. The paper shows a list of the 40 countries that produce the most renewable energy and compares it with a well-established economic standard, the Total Reserves of Central Banks. For 2018, it was found a correlation among the percentage of the total energy that is produced with green sources and the percentage that could be backed by international reserves if it were the same thing. This correlation is presented as a pa- tron that can be use by Central Banks in order to take environment in to consideration and to calculate how much of a CBDC can be issued by central banks as a standard.

Based on the trading mechanism and the monthly data of the Beijing carbon trading market from 2014 to 2020, this paper investigates the influence patterns of energy price, industrial development, macroeconomic growth, and air quality on carbon price changes, and unit root test, Johansen cointegration test, and error correction model are used to analyze the patterns. The empirical results show that industrial development, economic growth, energy prices, and air quality have a long-run equilibrium relationship with carbon prices. While industrial development indicators are negatively correlated with the price of carbon, the price of energy, economic growth, and air quality are positively correlated with the price of carbon emission trading. Finally, some relevant development suggestions are proposed according to the empirical results.

ICP Algorithm: Theory, Practice and Its SLAM-oriented Taxonomy
Authors: Bai Hao
Published: April 2023

The Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm is one of the most important algorithms for ge-ometric alignment of three-dimensional surface registration, which is frequently used in computer vision tasks, including the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) tasks. In this paper, we illustrate the theoretical principles of the ICP algorithm, how it can be used in surface registration tasks, and the traditional taxonomy of the variants of the ICP algorithm. As SLAM is becoming a popular topic, we also introduce a SLAM-oriented taxonomy of the ICP algorithm, based on the characteristics of each type of SLAM task, including whether the SLAM task is online or not and whether the landmarks are present as features in the SLAM task. We make a synthesis of each type of SLAM task by compar-ing several up-to-date research papers and analyzing their implementation details.
Rain Removal Algorithm Based on Retinex in Low Light Automatic Driving Scenario
Authors: Yang Qiyuan
Published: April 2023

In the field of automatic driving, clear image is one of the important prerequisites for the decision-making system relying on computer vision to make correct decisions. Rainy days and low illumination environment are two common scenes that seriously affect image quality. Researchers have proposed many effective methods for these two research fields. However, few applications have been studied in the field of automatic driving comprehensively. To solve the problem, a low illumination image enhancement method in rainy days is proposed, which combines the two scenes and can be applied to the field of automatic driving. This algorithm takes good advantage of the fact that raindrops cannot appear in the same frame at different times to eliminate the noise of raindrops in the image .And its main process is to fuse continuous image frames by maximum method through multi-scale Gaussian filtering. Thus, the fused image is used as the illumination map and the original image to be denoised is used as the input of Multi-Scale Retinex(MSR) method.Finally, the reflection image which can be directly applied in automatic driving is obtained.

Electronic medical records have been rolled out in the past decades to facilitate the medical exports daily routine. However, the number of electronic medical records increases dramatically, which also causes huge workloads for the front-line clinical workers when they face the writing-up work. In this sense, researchers in the artificial intelligence domain wish to automate this process by constructing a natural language processing system, and medical information extraction is one of the key steps amongst the entire work. In this paper, we focus on medical information extraction from doctor-patient dialogues, and propose a novel encoder-decoder model which incorporates global information into the dialogue windows. The experiment on the MIE dataset suggests our model outperforms the compared baseline models, and achieves the state-of-the-art results, which proves our models effectiveness.
