Authors: Zhou Ningzhe
Published: July 2023

Education in China has been more or less unequal since ancient times. However, in recent decades, the issue of educational inequality has become more and more serious. A great educational gap exists between the rich and the poor, the majority group and the minority groups, and the well-developed regions and the underdeveloped regions. This paper, by using the document analysis method, aims to research Chinese educational inequality, including the phenomenon, the reasons and the solutions. From the research, it can be learned that reasons that cause educational inequality vary and that achieving the goal of educational equality requires the efforts of the whole society and what’s more, the awareness of the importance of educational equality should be aroused. Even though China still has a long way from achieving equality in education, however, the government is still taking measures to narrow down the educational gap between different students and China will achieve educational equality and Chinese education will be at the forefront of the world.

Education Curriculum Comparison between Private and Public Schools in China
Authors: Feng Wenxin
Published: July 2023

The Chinese educational system has seen dramatic transformations in recent decades, with the rise of private schools as a competitive alternative to the traditional public sector. The purpose of this research was to compare and contrast the curriculums of public and private schools in China. The results imply that private schools in China prioritize personalized instruction and student innovation while state schools prioritize exam prep and tried-and-true techniques. As compared to public schools, which focus on teaching the basics, private schools have greater leeway in creating their curricula and providing a richer selection of extracurricular options for their students. The research also shows that foreign schools in China place a greater focus on English language skills and global views than either private or public schools in the country. These institutions provide a wider variety of courses taught mostly in English. The study emphasizes the significance of recognizing and appreciating different teaching methods and learning styles, as well as the role of extracurricular activities in developing students' social and emotional skills and calls for a more adaptable and diverse education system that can accommodate the individual needs and interests of students.

This thesis, based on the three metafunctions of language and visual grammar theory, makes a multimodal analysis of German Chancellor Scholz's tweets posted in the second half of 2022, to explore Germany's process of shaping its national image on social media platforms. The German government uses a rich symbolic system to design discursive expressions, establishing a national image to the world that proactively assumes the responsibility of global governance, wholeheartedly defends the core interests of the people, and strictly defends the traditional value order.
Functional data regression model based on functional mean variance estimation and mutual information weighted ensemble learning
Authors: Liu Jianxun , Liu Zijun , Chen Jiajian
Published: July 2023

Functional data regression model holds significant application value in various fields such as medicine, economics, finance, and industrial manufacturing.    This paper introduces a novel functional regression method that incorporates functional mean variance estimation and mutual information weighted ensemble learning. The proposed method employs functional mean variance estimation to reduce dimension while maintaining the effective information of the predictor related to the response variable. Specifically, this method projects the random function into the function space spanned by finite dimensional basis functions to extract the underlying functional information of the original data. Additionally, considering that the number of sufficient dimension reduction sub-directions is unknown, this paper proposes a model averaging approach based on mutual information weighting to determine the importance of each sub-model. The proposed method can adaptively address the over-fitting and under-fitting problems of the prediction model. The empirical data analysis indicates that the proposed method outperforms other comparison methods in terms of smaller mean square error and absolute error, and it exhibits a certain level of robustness.

Identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on KNN Algorithm and Random Forest
Authors: Li Yanning
Published: July 2023

Medicinal materials are a system of components and complex mixtures, and spectroscopic principles can provide in-depth analysis of the composition mechanism of traditional Chinese medicinal materials through the determination of their material structures. Chinese medicinal materials of different origins and varieties exhibit different spectral characteristics due to differences in chemical composition and organic matter. However, spectral features have high-dimensional attributes, so PCA principal component dimensionality reduction is considered to condense spectral features into representative feature variables. Then, a hierarchical clustering method with a clear hierarchy can be used to classify multiple Chinese medicinal materials into three categories based on their spectral characteristics; At the same time, in order to solve the problem of origin identification, based on the situation that there are many classifications of origins, the KNN algorithm is combined to achieve the requirements of origin identification; Using both mid infrared and near infrared spectral data and using KNN algorithm to verify the origin of Chinese medicinal materials is more accurate; Due to the small number of categories, the prediction of the types of Chinese medicinal materials is implemented using commonly used random forests. The realization of the above methods demonstrates the feasibility of identifying Chinese medicinal materials through infrared spectroscopy, and it is also worth further exploration and research.

Published: July 2023

In this paper, the data in the appendix were removed from the missing data and the valid data were retained. The following problems were solved by the statistical processing of the valid data. While examining on foot the measured data of tower layers' positions in different years and different classifications, the measured coordinates of each layer of the ancient tower in 1986 will be taken as the basis, and the scatter distribution of each layer of the tower will be made by MATLAB, and the coordinate point positions are found to be on the same basic circular plane. Based on the minimum sum of distances from any point on the same circular plane to the fixed points (a, b, c), a nonlinear programming model is established, and by substituting the data to calculate the The coordinates of the center of each level of the ancient pagoda four years ago were calculated by substituting the data. When analyzing the settlement of the gutta, the change of the horizontal plane is not considered, but the change of the vertical ground coordinates of the gutta, i.e. the change of the Z-axis causes the overall rise and fall of the gutta. Based on the center coordinates of each level of the guttae obtained from problem 1, the three settlement differences, average settlement and annual average settlement from 1986 to 1996,1996 to 2009, and 2009 to 2011 are calculated. It can be seen that the ancient tower is sinking year by year, and the sinking rate increases year by year.

The establishment and analysis of a marking utility model is of great importance in achieving paperless marking and improving the accuracy and efficiency of marking. Through the application of modern technology, students' examination results can be evaluated more objectively and provide an important basis for determining the final effect of talent training. This paper provides a systematic analysis and modelling of the marking process, and uses a variety of techniques and methods to address the issue of marking staff arrangements. Firstly, the impact of the proportion of markers per question, the proportion of the average mark for each question to the total mark for that question, the proportion of blank papers and the error rate on the speed of marking was explored by analysing marker-related indicator variables and the basic requirements for completing the marking process. Then, principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of the four factor variables affecting marking speed, and two principal components with strong correlation with marking speed were obtained to provide a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of the influence of marking speed. Finally, an integer programming model and simulated annealing algorithm were used to solve for the optimal arrangement of markers to ensure that the requirement of simultaneous completion of workload for each question was met. In this paper, the optimal allocation of markers is analysed and the time required for all markers to complete the marking process at the same point in time is calculated to be 3.3 days. Two optimal allocations of markers are proposed for each question type per day and for each question type per hour in a day.

Microcapsules are structured and spherical, with uniform size distribution. The prepared microcapsules were dispersed in epoxy resin to form a self-healing epoxy coating. The effect of brine soaking time on the corrosion resistance of the self-healing epoxy coating was studied. EIS results showed that the self-healing epoxy coating with microcapsules had better corrosion resistance than pure epoxy resin. The mechanical properties of the self-healing epoxy coating with microcapsule content were studied by measuring the tensile strength, tensile shear strength and coating hardness. When the microcapsule content was 3%, the tensile strength increased to 84.71 MPa, which was 35.53% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. The hardness of self-healing epoxy coating is 22.46 HV, which is 0.18% lower than that of pure epoxy coating. The experimental results show that a small amount of microcapsules can improve the mechanical properties of the self-healing coating.

Authors: Singh Virendra , Nayyar H. , Gupta R. , Uppal Rajesh
Published: July 2023

The germination behaviour of seeds of 11 natural populations of Hippophae rhamnoides and 1 each of H. salicifolia and H. tibetana growing in cold desert and high altitude region of Himalayan State of Himachal Pradesh, was studied. The seeds of Seabuckthorn growing in arid region of Spiti showed better germination rate (98-100%) than those of semi-arid region of Lahaul (21-97%). Among the species, H. tibetana showed a maximum rate of seed germination (100 %) followed by H. rhamnoides (21.0-100.0%) and H. salicifolia (37.0%). After 14 days, biotype of H. tibetana attained the maximum length of 8.71 cm, significantly higher than those of H. rhamnoides (4.3-6.5 cm) and H. salicifolia (3.7 cm). Seedlings of all the biotypes had longer shoots than roots, with the exception of H. tibetana. Seeds with brown colour, oval, ovate and oblong shapes showed better growth than the cylindrical, elliptical, with the exception of H. tibetana. In general, seeds of medium to large size had better growth than the small seeds.
Lady Shallot and Her Nature in the Men's Fence; An Interdisciplinary Approach to Tennyson’s Poetry and Waterhouse Paintings
Authors: Shirkhani Mohammad Amin
Published: July 2023

Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shallot” is the portrayal of a woman’s active confrontation with the patriarchal society. By the woman’s seclusion from the social interactions, Tennyson debunks the bitter reality embedded within the social structure and by the lady’s manifestation of bravery in her social activism so as to prove her individuality, he depicts the annihilation of the woman in revolting against patriarchy. Parallel to the subjugation of femininity in the poem, ecology shows a pattern of tranquility and chaos through which masculine cultural codes reveal themselves. John William Waterhouse, a contemporary painter with Tennyson, has portrayed three suggestive scenes of the poem; how he portrays femininity and nature is the manifestation of patriarchal manipulation of the two aforementioned concepts. In congruence with the mentioned analysis, ecofeminism, by attributing resemblances to femininity and ecology, aims to divulge the patriarchal injustice inflicted upon them; by giving awareness about the rights of women and nature, it tries to rehabilitate their genuine identity. With the application of ecofeminism on Tennyson’s poem and Waterhouse’s paintings, with an interdisciplinary approach, the author discloses the patriarchal subordination of women and nature. I do hope that by the ecofeminist reading of “The Lady of Shallot” and its projected paintings, the authentic rights of femininity and ecology are defended, the importance of interdisciplinary studies is highlighted and the awareness about the original identity of these concepts is created.

O presente artigo busca quantificar e analisar a incidência de disciplinas dirigidas ao estudo do(s) letramento(s) por meio da leitura das de 48 ementas de cursos de Letras das universidades federais brasileiras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, tendo por base de dados 48 matrizes curriculares coletadas por meio eletrônico, nos sites das universidades ou solicitadas por e-mail ao departamento de Letras. Os resultados demonstraram que o letramento está presente na formação inicial do professor de Línguas nas Universidades Federais de todo o território nacional. Evidenciou-se ainda que o assunto é mais fortemente presente nas ementas dos PPC publicados após o ano de 2017 e, também, que o uso social da língua figura como pano de fundo para os estudos do letramento na maioria das ementas analisadas neste estudo. Entende-se que estas instituições têm se preocupado em acompanhar os documentos oficiais e abordarem assuntos tão pertinentes à formação do professor como o letramento, proporcionando-lhe uma formação que se relacione com a realidade social, tanto destes futuros profissionais, quantos aqueles que eles irão formar, na pessoa de seus estudantes.

Authors: Bassetto Rafaela Tavares , Storto Letícia Jovelina
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many changes, including the need for physical distancing to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2. As a result, Brazilian educational institutions, both public and private, had to resort to a special regime to continue their classes. Considering this context, this research aims to identify applications and programs, in addition to their relevance, used in remote teaching. The technical processes used were bibliographic, documentary, and ethnographic research. For this purpose, we developed a questionnaire via Google Forms and the data were subjected to descriptive and qualitative analysis. It was possible to conclude that education professionals and students were not prepared to change the way of teaching and learning. Thus, continuing education, including technologies and institutional resources, is of particular relevance for education.
leitura é decifração, operação abstrata, negociação de sentido? Concepções do ato humano de ler
Authors: Tortorelli Cleunice Terezinha da Silva Ribeiro , Girotto Cyntia Graziella Guizelim Simões

A compreensão quanto às concepções de leitura e de escrita ainda é pouco difusa quando se fala do “quê” e do “como” ensinar no coração da escola. Apresento, neste artigo, reflexões sobre o ato de ler, de escrever, da decifração de signos e do sistema de produção de sentidos como atividade dialógica à luz da filosofia da linguagem. O meu objetivo tenta clarificar esses conceitos e ampliar a massa aperceptiva do educador quanto às práticas pedagógicas envolvendo esses saberes de forma a amenizar o analfabetismo em suas várias formas. Abordo a ideia de que a leitura não passa pela decifração de signos tão somente. Ela também não é mera operação abstrata, mas é elemento abarcador da negociação de sentidos, isto é, trocas de perguntas do leitor ao texto, que possibilita a distinção entre fluência leitora e leitura como fusão de todos os meios dados a ler e a contribuir com o projeto pessoal do ato humano a ser ensinado às crianças. Para tanto, conto com as contribuições dos estudos de Andruetto (2017), Arena (2003-2021), Bakhtin (2003), Catach (1996), Cavallo e Chartier (1998), Foucambert (2008), Jakubinskij (2015), Volochinov (2019), entre outros, para a formação de educadores.
