This study aims to investigate the acceptability of using banana stem as an alternative ingredient in producing Korean dietary kimchi. The researchers utilized an experimental research design, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select 50 respondents for the study. The study found that the use of banana stem in kimchi production is acceptable, and it presents a new flavor to Asian cuisine. The Kruskal Wallis Test was used to compare the three samples of kimchi made from banana stem, and the results showed no significant difference between the three samples based on the evaluation of the respondents. The study suggests that banana stem can be a viable alternative ingredient in making Korean dietary kimchi without compromising its acceptability in terms of sensory qualities. The study can benefit various stakeholders, such as farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers, by providing an opportunity to innovate and introduce new products using less popular plant materials, creating a niche in the food industry, and increasing the overall income of the community. The study concluded that the majority of potential consumers for the product belong to Generation Z, or the post-millennial group, and have an interest in Korean trends. Several recommendations were made to maintain the product's acceptability among future consumers. These include improving the production process, endorsing the product across different generations, and innovating other samples by catering to the sensory attributes of future consumers.
Javaslat a kárenyhítési hozzájárulás differenciálására az aszálykár és az öntözés figyelembevételével
Authors: Becsákné Tornay Enikő , Gaál Márta , Papp Marianna
Published: May 2023

Magyarországon a mezőgazdasági káresemények közül az aszályok nagysága, azaz a bejelentések száma, a károsodott terület, valamint a kifizetett kárenyhítő juttatások értéke évről évre növekszik és kiemelkedően magas. A klímaváltozás hatására erősödő aszály társadalmi – gazdasági – környezeti vonatkozásban is érezteti hatását (pl. terméshozam-kiesés, mezőgazdasági jövedelmek csökkenése, felszíni és felszín alatti vízkészletek csökkenése). A negatív hatások csökkentése érdekében elengedhetetlen, illetve egyre sürgetőbb a megelőző stratégiák bevezetése, a gazdálkodók általi aszálymérséklő eszközök alkalmazása. A mezőgazdasági kockázatkezelési rendszer jelenleg csak növénykultúra szinten differenciálja a kárenyhítési hozzájárulás összegét, így nem ösztönzi a termelői kockázatmérséklést. A közeljövőben, a kockázatkezelési rendszer módosításával, célszerű egy megelőző jellegű rendszer kialakítása, mely a vízmegtartó talajművelésre, a megfelelő vetésszerkezet kialakítására, a fenntartható vízgazdálkodásra, illetve a hatékony és okszerű öntözésre sarkallja a gazdálkodókat, így a kisebb aszálykárosodás révén kevesebb kárenyhítő juttatás kerülne kifizetésre. Kutatásunk során egy új, differenciált számítási módszertant dolgoztunk ki, amely az aszálykockázat, a kárelőzmények, a választott növénykultúra sérülékenysége, valamint az öntözés alapján különböző hozzájárulási összeget állapít meg. A befizetett hozzájárulások differenciálása és a kármegelőzési beavatkozások figyelembevétele révén, érzékelhetőbbé és kiegyensúlyozottabbá válhat a közös felelősség és teherviselés, azonban az eddigi eredmények alapján ez nem növeli jelentős mértékben a vizsgált gazdálkodók befizetéseit. A többletköltség átlagos növekedése a vizsgált modellfuttatások alapján az ültetvényeknél lenne a legnagyobb (13–30%), ezt követik a szántóföldi zöldség (11–28%), majd a szántóföldi kultúrák (4–20%). A jelentős változásokhoz a kárenyhítő hozzájárulás nagyobb mértékű emelésére lenne szükség, és ezzel párhuzamosan fontos lenne a kárenyhítő juttatás differenciálása is.

Authors: 江旭新 江旭新
Published: May 2023

This research aims to explore the multilevel relationships among brand communication, brand self-efficacy, and brand citizenship behavior. Brand communication is regarded as organizational supportive practices that can enhance employees’ idea and knowledge about the personality, values, and promise of the brand. Brand self-efficacy is defined as employees’ conviction about their abilities to master their brand-related tasks for getting favorable outcomes. Employees with brand citizenship behavior exhibit brand altruistic behavior which contributes to the brand strength. This study collected data from 29 chains of food and beverage organizations. 125 valid data of managers and 232 valid data of frontline employees were collected. Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM) is utilized to investigate the multilevel relationships. This study finds there exist positive effects of brand communication on brand self-efficacy and brand citizenship behavior. Brand self-efficacy fully mediates the multilevel relationship between brand communication and brand citizenship behavior. Results, implication and future studies are discussed.

From the perspective of resilience and ecological system, this study aimed to understand factors that influenced the career of people with disabilities. Three people with muscular dystrophy were invited as research participants. Narrative research methods, particularly holistic-content and categorical-content analysis approaches, were adopted to achieve a better understanding and interpretation of their unique experiences related to career development. Research findings were stated as follows:

 Stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination that resulted from the stigma deeply rooted in macrosystems against people with disabilities were the core factors affecting their careers. Although there was less manifest discrimination in today’s society, the general public might still be influenced by stereotypes and prejudices, thus focusing too much on the "disabilities" and expressing "microaggressions" unintentionally. "Self-reliance" was considered an important value for people with disabilities in their careers, and "work" served as a means of moving closer to the goal of living independently. Resilience was manifested in the way people with disabilities responding to their surrounding environment, they strived to adapt themselves and developed coping strategies in their interactions with the society. Moreover, people with disabilities felt empowered simultaneously in the process of job-seeking and achieving employment security.

 It is only when all levels of the ecological system were analyzed and accommodated to the needs of individuals with disabilities that a virtuous cycle could be constructed to truly establish a friendly and discrimination-free workplace and living environment.

 Based on research findings, suggestions relevant to career development for individuals with disabilities, employers, helping professionals, as well as future research were provided.

The increasing technological involvement and informatization in medical practice has contributed to the development of telemedicine in medical industries worldwide. Such development has been further accelerated and expanded as the COVID-19 pandemic receded and related regulations eased globally. Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare launched a telemedicine infrastructure construction project for remote areas (hereafter “the Project”) in 2021. In the Project, telemedicine infrastructure was established for 14 emergency and critical patient transfer networks across Taiwan to increase the availability of remote consultation services, optimize the medical evacuation mechanism for transfers in regional care networks, and address the insufficient medical resources in remote areas. The purpose of this study is to introduce the onsite coaching and assessment conducted by the Joint Commission of Taiwan in relation to the Project’s four major strategies (remote consultation, green corridors, safe transfers, and regional care networks). Another focus of this study is to share experts’ thoughts on the challenges medical institutions face in their collaboration models and execution of plans. The study is expected to encourage medical institutions to participate in the Project and offer medical resources in remote areas and areas with inadequate medical resources, thereby improving the medical capacity, quality, and accessibility in remote areas.

可信賴專業活動(entrustable professional activities, EPAs)是將多種核心能力整合成專業任務，可應用於醫療職場教學訓練，以信賴等級作為能力進展依據，供臨床工作授權參考。此專案針對接受衛福部二年期營養師訓練課程之新進營養師，建置教學醫院新進營養師EPAs。來自全國教學醫院臨床營養及營養學專家，以名義團體法進行共識及投票，建置七項EPA任務及其對應核心能力架構。EPAs任務為「住院病人常見疾病營養照護」、「門診病人常見慢性疾病營養照護」、「重症單位營養照護」、「醫院膳食盤餐督餐作業」、「盤餐膳食設計與食材成本管理」、「疾病飲食營養團體衛教」及「住宿型長照機構個案營養照護」。EPAs建立可將能力進展轉化為臨床營養工作授權，促進營養醫療照護品質提升。

 

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) involve the integration of a variety of core competencies into professional practice tasks, and they can be applied for learning and training in the medical workplace. Supervision levels can help guide the development of competencies and are referenced for clinical work authorization. This paper describes the development of EPAs for entry-level dietitians in a postgraduate clinical training program established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare at teaching hospitals in Taiwan. Clinical instructors in dietetics and nutrition experts from across Taiwan were invited to participate in a consensus development conference, and the nominal group technique was employed to develop profession-specific EPAs. This project established seven EPAs, namely, nutritional care for inpatients with common diseases, nutritional care for outpatients with common chronic diseases, nutritional care in critical care units, hospital plate-meal preparation and supervision, meal design and cost management, group education for disease-specific nutrition, and nutritional care in residential long-term-care institutions. The establishment of EPAs can help transform such competencies into criteria for the authorization of clinical nutrition work in teaching hospitals and may enhance the quality of nutritional medical services.

The article deals with determination of those characteristics of e-textbooks that will make their use more in demand for the study of languages, including Korean. The purpose of the article is to determine the main characteristics of a foreign language e-textbook as well as to analyze how they will reflect the specifics of the language in question and how exactly they will manifest themselves. The analytical study of e-textbook prototypes developed both practically and theoretically on the basis of criteria set for e-textbooks, the software being used and the research experience let the authors identify the mandatory minimum characteristics required for the foreign language e-textbook and compile the scheme for the distribution of the characteristics into groups. The results showed that the main requirement of a cross-cutting, primary nature for the entire set of e-textbooks under consideration is hyperconnectivity. The study allowed identifying linguodidactic and technological components of foreign language e-textbooks, as well as those of the Korean language e-textbook (a multimodal interactive dictionary) specifically, which are in a hyperconnected relationship with each other. Their introduction and implementation into specific software, a linguodidactic web constructor, will contribute to development of more sophisticated e-textbooks to be of high demand both among learners and teachers.
The Intelligible Wanderings of the Soul
Authors:   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Kostova-Panayotova Magdalena
Published: May 2023

The article focuses on two texts by the remarkable Balkan writer, Dubravka Ugrešić, in which she introduces questions of emigration, identity, belonging to the nation, the community, as well as questions such as what it is like to be a writer writing in a small language, is there hope for the literature written in Slavic languages, how resistance makes sense in a world where the ability to adapt is everything. Among the non-hypocritical messages of Dubravka Ugrešić's novels there is one that states we must learn to live with bitterness and deceit in a world where the best thing one can hope to leave behind is but a footnote to earn his ticket to eternity . The narrator in Ugrešić's texts is the eternal emigrant crossing different worlds, an image of the unloved, lonely, space-traveling storyteller who may have nothing else but his thousand and one stories, and the exact words that might save someone
Strokes from the Epistolary Theory about “The Proper Way of Writing“ of “Beautiful Letters“ in the “Slavenobolgarskiy Predruchniy Poslatelnik za Nastavleniе na Bolgarskite Yunoshi” (1835) by Neophyte Bozvely and Emanuil Vaskidovitch

The hereby offered article points out some strokes from the revival epistolary theory that is presented on the pages of the letter-writing manual “Slavenobolgarskiy predruchniy poslatelnik za nastavleniya na bolgarski yunoshi” (1835) by Neophyte Bozvely nad Emanuil Vaskidovitch. The main target of the following research is the philological insight of the two teachers from Svishtov in the aspects of soundness of language and its stylistic perfection, and their following instructions concerning the writing of good and proper letters. Following the basic beliefs of the European Enlightenment and especially the correlation between the right, the virtuous and the beautiful, Bozvely and Vaskidovitch are constructing their own concept about the language and style of the letter by planting the two principles: “Write good when you do” and “Write just as you speak”. Under the banner of these two absolutes the coauthors introduce the stylistic demands for brevity, simplicity, aptness and beauty of language.

Propaedeutics of the Сoncept of “Self-feeding in Plants” in Kindergarten and in Studies in I and II Grades
Authors:   Trakia University, Petrova Vanya
Published: May 2023

The article examines the need and possibilities for pre-acquainting students with the importance of light for plants in kindergarten and in 1st and 2nd grade, to support the understanding of self- feeding in plants in the study of man and nature in 3rd grade. In order to overcome the existing deficits and to create cognitive prerequisites for revealing the concept of self-feeding in plants in the 3rd grade, it is proposed to increase the share of methodical emphasis on the importance of light during lessons about plant development in kindergarten and first and second grades.. The analysis of the educational requirements in kindergarten shows that there is a certain underestimation of the role of light and, when the child is subsequently faced with the completely new concept of nutrition, they lack a connecting cognitive link to create a certain cognitive continuity in the discovery of self-feeding in plants. The study establishes the degree of knowledge of light as a necessary condition for the life of plants and offers options for gradually accumulating more cognitive experience regarding the role of light for plant development. This experience is considered as a prerequisite for effective continuity in the education of man and nature in the commented segment.

Ehrlichia minasensis, a novel species of Ehrlichia that is closely related to E. canis, is known to infect cattle and deer in Canada. This rickettsial bacterium was isolated from Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks and from dairy and beef cattle in southeast and midwestern Brazil, respectively. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and perform molecular detection of Ehrlichia sp. in dairy cattle in the northern region of Brazil. The study was conducted in the municipality of Ji-Paraná, located in the state of Rondônia in the western Brazilian Amazon region. Blood and serum samples were obtained between the dates September 2012 and November 2013 from dairy cows (≥ 24 months old) in 64 farms. The blood samples were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a fragment of the Ehrlichia sp. dsb gene, and the levels of Ehrlichia sp. antibodies were measured by the immunofluorescence assay (IFA). A total of 15 of 610 (2.45%; 95% CI: 1.04-3.86%) blood samples tested positive for ehrlichial infection based on the detection of the Ehrlichia sp. dsb gene. Sequencing of PCR amplicons from samples confirmed that the amplified partial dsb gene (~295 base pairs) sequence represented E. minasensis. Anti-Ehrlichia sp. antibodies were detected in 178 cows (53.96%; 95% CI: 46.63–61.29%). Endpoint titers ranged from 40 to 5,120. However, positive results derived from this assay should be interpreted with caution. Among the variables analyzed using IFA, the number of cows aged 24 months or greater was statistically significant (p = 0.0103), and hers of approximately 51-100 cows were more likely to be infected with Ehrlichia sp. Although the animals do not show clinical disease, the chronic character of the infection can lead to decrease in productivity.

Published: May 2023

The objective of this study was to identify the canine and feline gastrointestinal parasites (GIP), domiciled and non-domiciled, in seven cities in the state of Pernambuco and, thus, to evaluate the environmental contamination and the risk of transmission of parasites with zoonotic potential. Two hundred fifty-six fecal samples from canines (n=183) and felines (n=73) were collected, which were processed by the modified Sheather flotation (with 1.3d hypersaturated sucrose solution) and the spontaneous sedimentation methods. In 86 (33.6%) samples, helminths and/or protozoa were detected. The GIP identified in dogs were: Ancylostoma sp. (42/55; 76.4%), Trichuris vulpis (9/55; 16.4%), Toxocara canis (5/55; 9.1%), Strongyloides stercoralis (3/55; 5.45%), Dipylidium caninum (3/55; 5.45%) and Cystoisospora sp. (3/55; 5.45%). In cats, Toxocara. cati (5/30; 16.6%), Coccidia (19/30; 63.3%), Dipylidium caninum (3/30; 10%) and Ancylostoma sp. (3/30; 10%). Five of the eight GIP identified have zoonotic potential. These results demonstrate the importance of parasitological diagnosis based on the identification of parasites that can affect not only animal health, but also human health from environmental contamination. This study should support health education actions with tutors and continued training with veterinarians for the prevention of gastrointestinal parasites in animals and the transmission of parasitic zoonoses from the perspective of One Health, which advocates the mitigation of health risks at the interface animal-human-environment.

Biography studies are also included in the research studies in the history of veterinary medicine.
It is very valuable in terms of the formation of the history of the profession that people who are known for their contributions to the veterinary medicine profession in the process they live in are written down and presented in a tidy article. Many biographical books (Berkman, 1945; Erk and Dinçer, 1945; Sinmez and Yaşar 2011) and articles (Yaşar 1997; Yaşar 1998a, 1998b; Yaşar et al.,2010; Sinmez et al., 2012; Yaşar et al., 2020) have been published due to the fact that it has an important and valuable place in Veterinary History research. Similarly, it seems that it has become a tradition to write biographies of faculty members who retired or died in order to establish the history of Aydın Adnan Menderes University Veterinary Faculty (Arslan, 1999; Arslan, 2004; Arslan, 2008a, 2008b).
In this respect, who carries out his academic and scientific studies in Aydın Adnan Menderes University Veterinary Faculty Microbiology Department and contributes to the training of many scientists in his field writing the biography of Prof. Dr. Osman Kaya is also seen as an important debt of loyalty for the history of the profession.
Osman Kaya, who provided not only academic contributions but also support and services at the point of development and structuring of the university, also served as the Vice Rector of Aydın Adnan Menderes University. While carrying out his academic and administrative duties, Kaya could not get rid of his cancer disease, which was still under treatment, and was sent off on his last journey on February 03, 2017.
The aim of this study is to the "national and international studies", and "academic and administrative duties" carried out in the veterinary microbiology discipline to reveal Prof. Dr. Osman Kaya's contributions to the history of science and the world of science. In addition to this, it also to contribute in terms of bibliography by giving the works in an orderly and collective way.
Self-Reported Data are not Sufficient to Distinguish Benefits of One Psychological Intervention Compared to Another, both Aimed at Improving the Parent-Toddler Relationship
Authors: Steele Howard
Published: May 2023

This paper reports on a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) where mothers at risk of maltreating their infants were randomly assigned to either a widely used parenting training known as Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP), a 12-week once weekly session (n=35), or the Group Attachment-Based Intervention (GABI), a multi-family 26-week treatment (n=43). ANCOVA results compared STEP versus GABI groups’ end-of-treatment scores, with intake scores controlled for, on standardized measures of children’s exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences, social isolation, and difficulties with impulse control, were considered. Mothers in both groups reported no significant increase in children’s exposure to ACEs, and significant decreases in self-reported social isolation and impulse control difficulties. Discussion focuses on self-reported benefits of both treatment arms, and the need for future intervention studies to include observational measures of maternal sensitivity and of the overall quality of the mother-toddler relationship. Three Practitioner Points i. Self-report indices from mothers re their social isolation, self-esteem, and poor impulse control (positive symptoms, SCL-90, all showed improvements from intake to end-of-treatment in both arms of the RCT, both sharing parenting groups as a central if not the only part of treatment. ii. For both arms of the RCT mothers reported no significant increase in their children’s exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences. iii. Future intervention studies aimed at preventing child maltreatment must include observational measures of maternal sensitivity, and the overall quality of the mother-child relationship.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common medical complication of pregnancy today. As per the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2022, the latest definition of GDM is diabetes diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy that was not clearly overt diabetes prior to gestation. Blood sugar more than normal and less than diabetes in the first trimester is defined as hyperglycemia in early pregnancy. GDM has been associated with adverse pregnancy effects and outcomes such as preeclampsia, macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA), shoulder dystocia, stillbirth, as well as neonatal complications. Dietary counseling and physical activity are the primary treatment for GDM. If sugar is not controlled through diet and exercise, metformin and or insulin are other treatment options.
An Improved Image Encryption Consuming Fusion Transmutation and Edge Operator
Authors:   Gyan Ganga Institute of Technology and Sciences, Jabalpur, India, Roy Vandana
Published: May 2023

The field of cryptography oversees the development of methods for transforming information between coherent and incoherent formats. Encryption and decryption techniques controlled by keys maintain the privacy of the substance and who can access it. Private key cryptography refers to methods of encryption and decryption that employ the same secret key. The alternative is public key cryptography, wherever the encryption and decryption keys are different. It is essential for the sanctuary of any crypto scheme that the confusion and diffusion properties be met. While the diffusion property rearranges the pixels in an image, the confusion property simply replaces the pixel values. In-depth discussion of a genetic-algorithm-based hybrid approach to secure and complex three-dimensional chaos-based image encryption (SCIE) has been presented. Here, we use mathematics edge, multipoint edges operator, and coupled transmutation operatives to accomplish permutation. In this method, a key stream is created using a 3D CSI (Compound Sine and ICMIC) map. Using a private key, hybrid operators are used to encrypt data. Several metrics were considered while evaluating the suggested algorithm's efficacy, including the UACI (Unified Average Change Intensity), correlation constant, NPCR (Net Pixel Change Rate). Experiments with the same have shown promising results in protecting real-time photos.

Authors: Espineda Richelle Agonia
Published: May 2023

This descriptive comparative research examined agribusiness as an attractive place to work from the perspective of agriculture industry professionals, intending to increase youth motivation, particularly among many newly graduated students, to join the field. Eighty (80) workers responded to the Survey Questionnaire with indicators of Job Content, Economic Benefits, Career Opportunities, Social Relations, and Reputation. Also compared were moderating variables such as sex, educational attainment, and industry engagement. Results showed that the level of appeal of industry workers to Agribusiness was 3.56, indicating that Agribusiness is exceptionally desirable across all metrics. The result further shows that there is no significant difference in the level of attractiveness as perceived by the industry workers when grouped according to sex (p-value=.230), educational attainment (p-value=.511), and industry engagement (p-value=.057). This value implies that Agribusiness is equally attractive across all groups. This study recommends that the college, particularly the Bachelor of Agriculture Technology department, focus on improvement and programs that would usher the graduates to their full potential. It was suggested that agribusiness courses be designed to equip graduates with knowledge and skills in managerial and decision-making capacities.

Authors: Xue Bangyu
Published: May 2023

Sexual minorities in China suffer from severe stigma, with more than half of Chinese sexual minorities believing that their families discriminate against them However, research on family and sexual minorities is extremely limited in China. This study focuses on how families increase the stigma and resilience of sexual minorities. Given the high degree of invisibility of sexual minorities in China and the subjective nature of resilience, Case analysis will be used as the method of this study. Based on long-term follow-up, two representative respondents will describe the stigma they have suffered because of their sexual orientation, whether their families support them, and how their families have affected their stigma and resilience. After that, further conclusions are drawn through case reduction and analysis. This study will fill the gap in Chinese academic circles related to family and sexual minorities and open a new field of research on stigmatization and family interaction in China.

Authors: Li Jiazhuo
Published: May 2023

The increasing importance of multinational corporations in the process of economic globalization, but the increasing number of human rights violations in the context of the operations of multinational companies has led to an increasing amount of research and reflection by the international community on such cases. In cases of human rights violations by transnational corporations, the victims are usually people living in the host country, and the violations are committed in the host country, so the host country has the right and the obligation to regulate and manage such cases. The obligation of States to protect human rights, the principle of mutual non-impairment of sovereignty and the necessary international cooperation are the main theoretical foundations of this obligation. According to the concept of due diligence, the state must take preventive measures when it knows or should know the risk of human rights violations and when it has the appropriate means or resources to prevent them. This paper summarizes the current dilemma of the host country concerning the corresponding regulatory obligations and analyses the corresponding causes through the research method of case studies and comparative research. It also summarizes the current views on the relationship between the duty of prevention and legal responsibility in the host country and the solutions to the host country’ s jurisdictional dilemma.
Research on the Jurisdiction of MNEs in Cases of Human Rights Violations
Authors: Xu Yiwei
Published: May 2023

As multinational enterprises continue to develop and grow, violations of international human rights law by multinational enterprises occur frequently, such as environmental damage and labor rights violations. While bringing employment and economic development to the host country, MNEs will also have a significant impact on local human rights. Multinational enterprises may directly affect the human rights in their regions by employing child labor, forced labor, discriminatory recruitment methods, poor working conditions, and carrying out activities without the consent of the residents on their land, or indirectly threaten the lives and health of others by destroying the environment. In addition, MNEs may also instigate the national government to violate human rights for commercial purposes, or support the government to adopt policies that violate human rights by providing infrastructure, financial support, or international credibility for the government, thus indirectly violating the human rights of residents. Access to justice is the most direct way for victims to seek redress in cases of human rights violations by multinational enterprises. However, as far as current practice is concerned, the judicial route is also the most difficult route to relief, of which the first issue to be resolved is jurisdiction. This research use case study, comparative research, and historical research to discuss how to strengthen the international legal regime of human rights responsibilities of MNEs, and to draw on international theoretical and practical experiences. Finally, this research systematically studies the issue and finally makes recommendations at the international and domestic levels.
Selective Bias in the Collective Memory of News Public Opinion and Reflections on Governance: The Case of Watergate Scandal
Authors: Gao Yang , Ma Haozhe
Published: May 2023

The Watergate scandal is one of the most disgraceful political scandals in American history, and its impact on the history of the United States itself and on the international press as a whole has been lasting. Indeed, the American press, represented by the Washington Post, played a pioneering role in exposing the Watergate scandal. In this context, media journalists showed a clear bias towards collective memory choices. On the one hand, in the face of strong government pressure, journalists continued to report the facts and to uncover the truth with objectivity, truthfulness and accuracy. On the other hand, as the years passed, the media's understanding of the Watergate scandal updated and changed, and collective memory did not remain unchanged. For contemporary China, the prominence of the press in fulfilling its role as a watchdog over the government leads us to reflect on the ability of the media, journalists and civil servants to carry out their duties.

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Crying Marriage in the Context of the Minority, the Oppressed Female and Local Culture
Authors: Yang Jiachen
Published: May 2023

Crying Marriage is a special ritual of the Tujia family in the west of Hunan province, China. The reason why the Crying Marriage appeared so is that Tujia women lost their rights to marriage. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasty abolished local governments and dispatched officials from the capital to govern local people. Then, local people in different areas of China started to adapt the traditions of Han culture (the mainstream culture in China). In this case, since Han culture advocated arranged marriage, Tujia parents also started to arrange their daughters' marriages. Tujia women lost the right to marry so they started crying during their marriages, and then this behavior developed into a ritual. Also, during the development of Crying Marriage, more and more elements appeared, such as lyrics and skills. Although it seems like the purpose of Crying Marriage is to help Tujia women gain their rights, it backfired. On the contrary, Crying Marriage diverted people's attention from women's rights to appreciate this ritual. This study developed two concepts, Active Change, and Passive Change to explain this process.

Authors: Zhang Huanyue
Published: May 2023

Recently, queer theory has attracted more scholarly attention as an extension of feminist theory in terms of deconstructionism and postmodern contexts. Queer theory has been utilized by feminists as a significant theoretical framework in art criticism, with cinemas taken as a representation system and cultural practice for the manifesto of gender identity and gender equity. This research will take the prestigious lesbian cinema Blue is the Warmest Color as an exemplification to analyze the embodiment of queer theory, especially gender performativity and body writing, with the methodologies of case study and analysis of the representation of screen images from the perspective of semiotics. The research findings confirm the association between cinematic techniques and representation and the construction of gender identity from the perspective of queer theory and representation theory. Meanwhile, the research explores the expansion and application of body writing in the cinematic field, clarifying several intentions of the large proportion of the explicit and straight representation of women’s bodies in sex scenes. Overall, this research analyzes how the employment of various cinematic techniques and representation contributes to the construction of the protagonists’ gender identities which destroys the binary regulation of sexuality and heterosexual hegemony, as well as acquires the acknowledgment and acceptance of the spectatorship in terms of queer position.
The Analysis of Female Characters in the Golden Age of Hollywood
Authors: Kou Zishi
Published: May 2023

The United States experienced a 25% unemployment rate in 1929 as a result of the Great Depression. More than 5,000 banks in the United States announced closure, and more than 80,000 businesses filed for bankruptcy as a direct result of the Great Depression. Everyone was drowning in the woes of being unemployed. However, Hollywood movies provided a pastime for people who were suffering every day during the Great Depression. Although the 1930s was the worst time for the U.S. economy, it was the golden age of Hollywood. The 1930s to the late 1940s are referred to as the Golden Age of Hollywood, in which Hollywood dominated the film industry. Women on screen have many images, but all these female portraits cannot be separated from men. Women's life at that time was inextricably linked with men's. This paper analyzes women's images from the Golden Age of Hollywood movies. The purpose is to explain how the portrayal of women on screen reflects the status of women in society at the time and what factors led to such a portrayal of women on screen. The paper found that the most impactful factors are women's jobs taken by men during the Great Depression, the dominant social consciousness of masculinity, and the desire for male voyeurism.
