The rapid development of digital technology has brought great opportunities for rural education. Systematically promoting the digital transformation of rural education is not only the inherent requirement of the national education digital strategic action, but also the inevitable choice to realize the education power, promote the integrated development of urban and rural compulsory education, and realize the comprehensive revitalization of rural education. Through field investigation, this paper deeply understands the value connotation of digital transformation of rural education, analyzes potential opportunities and challenges, and finally explores a feasible path of digital transformation of rural education. The study found that the introduction of digital technology will greatly enrich rural education resources, promote education equity, and cultivate students' innovative ability. However, in the process of digital transformation of rural education, there are still problems such as lack of digital education resources, cognitive impairment of digital education, homogenization of digital education programs, and insufficient digital literacy of teachers. In order to give full play to the advantages of digital technology in rural education, it is suggested to formulate comprehensive policy support, improve infrastructure construction, strengthen teacher training, and promote the popularization of digital literacy, so as to realize the sustainable development of digital transformation of rural education.

Authors: Liu Shuhan
Published: December 2023

"Vivid charm" is the highest principle of China's painting creation, the highest embodiment of the artistic spirit of Chinese painting, and an important criterion to judge whether the aesthetic realm of painting is lofty or not. However, the concept of "vivid charm" was originally an aesthetic proposition put forward by Sheikh in Southern Qi Dynasty. Specifically, it refers to the aesthetic realm that works of art embody the momentum of all things in the universe, people's spiritual quality and charm, and achieve natural vividness and fully show its vitality and appeal. In the west, especially in Japan, there are different translations of the word "vivid charm", and "different people have different opinions." In the exhibition of different cultural forms between China and the West, we can also see some interesting phenomena.

The Significance Of Agricultural Wastes In The Construction Sector
Authors: Nitin Nitin , Yeshpal Yeshpal , Chaudhary Veena
Published: December 2023

A variety of problems are now affecting the building business. The two that matter most are the rise in urban population and the decrease in the amount of resources required to make construction supplies. Businesses have also begun to reassess their strategies for producing ecologically friendly construction materials as a consequence of a greater knowledge of climate change. In the development of ecologically friendly construction materials, a variety of agricultural wastes, such as rice husk ash (RHA), sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), and bamboo leaf ash (BLA), have shown to be successful alternatives. In this investigation, six distinct agricultural waste-derived construction materials are investigated. The list includes bio-based polymers, building insulation and reinforcement materials, green concrete, particleboard, bricks, and masonry components. The frequency of usage in current building projects should be the primary factor when choosing materials. The goal of this paper is to look at alternative production methods for eco-friendly construction materials since the ones currently in use have negative environmental consequences. The results of the investigation demonstrated that it was successful to produce environmental friendly construction materials from agricultural waste since the completed products satisfied certain building requirements. Using agricultural products in lieu of traditional building materials is advised in order to achieve long-term economic, environmental, and social security.

The OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities as Norm-setter? Relations Between the Commissioner’s Recommendations and the Evolving Interpretation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities
Authors: Lantschner Emma
Published: December 2023

This article examines the norm-setting role of the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM), particularly in relation to the evolving interpretation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM). It explores the interaction between the HCNM’s various sets of Recommendations and the work of the Advisory Committee on the FCNM (ACFC). The article argues that while the HCNM’s intention when starting the practice of endorsing or drafting thematic recommendations was not focused on norm-setting, its Recommendations have gradually contributed to particularizing international obligations concerning minority rights, especially in areas where the FCNM is less specific. The article highlights the importance of the HCNM and the ACFC in promoting an inclusive approach to minority rights, moving from a protectionist stance to the holistic management of diverse societies. It concludes by identifying factors that contribute to the HCNM's successful norm-setting, such as consultation, englcollaboration and a bold and creative, yet legally grounded, approach to recommendations.

Published: December 2023

A biomassa florestal ocupa papel importante na matriz energética brasileira, destacando-se a lenha e o carvão vegetal. O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar o consumo de lenha em pizzarias e panificadoras no município de Vitória da Conquista, na Mesorregião do Centro-Sul no estado da Bahia. Utilizou-se de um questionário pré-estruturado composto de questões abertas e dicotômicas aplicadas aos referidos estabelecimentos comerciais. Foram consultadas 30 unidades comerciais entre pizzarias e panificadoras. A lenha foi a segunda matriz energética mais requerida entre os estabelecimentos com um consumo médio mensal de 54,88 m³st, destacando-se a madeira de eucalipto (18 m³st), seguida de madeira de construção (13 m³st) e madeira nativa (10 m³st) em quantidade consumida mensalmente. O melhor rendimento energético foi proporcionado pelas madeiras de eucalipto (0,20) e o pior pelas madeiras provenientes de restos de construção civil (1,20). As matrizes energéticas dos estabelecimentos estudados em Vitória da Conquista encontram-se instáveis, apresentando tendências por mudanças. Não houve critério técnico para a escolha das espécies lenhosas em relação a procedência e eficiência energética das madeiras utilizadas. O fomento florestal e a organização da cadeia produtiva da matriz energética na região, desde a produção da lenha, passando pelo transporte até o consumidor final, torna-se imprescindível.

Abstract: Traditional Indian medicine uses the neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing effects of the spice, Bacopa monnieri, commonly known as Brahmi. This paper provides an overview of the potential neuropharmacological benefits and therapeutic applications of Bacopa monnieri. Bacopa monnieri has therapeutic value due to the inclusion of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics. Bacoside A, a triterpenoid saponin of the Dammarane family, has been studied most because of its potential to improve memory and cognitive function. Specific brain regions that are affected by bacoside A experience an increase in protein and RNA production, oxidative stress protection, improved cerebral blood flow, and enhanced synaptic activity. By boosting antioxidant defense mechanisms, lowering oxidative stress, and altering neurotransmitter levels, Bacopa monnieri demonstrates neuroprotective effects. By blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, lowering the production of β-amyloid plaques, and modifying neurotransmitter levels, it has demonstrated potential for treating neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. As a natural neuroprotective and cognitive-improving agent, Bacopa monnieri is generally found to be promising. To completely comprehend its mechanisms of action and assess its long-term toxicity, more studies are necessary. Further research is needed to determine whether Bacopa monnieri can be used as a possible treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. The incidence of T2DM is increasing day by day. According to data from World Health Organization (WHO), the number of diabetic patients is expected to rise up to 642 million by 2040.This alarming situation needs proper treatment to control diabetes. Physicians mostly prescribe insulin based medications, but in this new medical era, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) based drug therapy possess tremendous preventive and potential inhibitory effect upon the over expression of the enzyme which digests the carbohydrate macromolecules and breaks down into single chain monomeric α-glucose units. As a result, carbohydrate breaks down gradually decreases, which slowing down the absorption of post prandial glucose PPG, regulating the blood glucose level. This review article addresses about the management of T2DM through AGIs along with new potential leads from natural products in the pipeline of new AGI drugs development from synthetic and natural origin.

Published: December 2023

Metodologia ativa é uma estratégia de ensino que coloca o estudante no centro do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, sendo ele o protagonista, e o professor um mediador. E uma dessas metodologias ativas é a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (ABP), onde o aprendizado deve ocorrer a partir da resolução de problemas, considerando o conhecimento prévio que o estudante já possui. O objetivo desse artigo é analisar como a ABP está sendo implementada em cursos da área de Tecnologia da Informação (TI). Para tal, foram utilizados como fontes primárias de pesquisa, artigos publicados a partir do ano de 2017 em diversas bases de dados. Como resultado, foi possível perceber que a ABP normalmente é aplicada em disciplinas isoladas e tem boa receptividade por parte dos estudantes. Contudo, é preciso que os professores estejam mais qualificados, entendendo e desenvolvendo melhor cada etapa da metodologia, obtendo assim a eficácia esperada.

Published: December 2023

Os avanços tecnológicos vêm provocando mudanças constantes e significativas no mundo do trabalho, transformando o perfil dos profissionais que operarão nesse ambiente cada dia mais tecnológico. Além do domínio de competências técnicas (hard skills), os novos perfis exigem o desenvolvimento de soft skills. Nesse cenário, as universidades são chamadas a apresentar soluções às demandas por novos profissionais nesse novo mundo do trabalho. Isso impõe adequar seus projetos pedagógicos aos novos perfis e competências profissionais exigidos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar se as mudanças no mundo do trabalho e nas competências profissionais, decorrentes dos avanços tecnológicos, estão sendo consideradas pelos projetos pedagógicos dos cursos de graduação das universidades públicas estaduais do Paraná. Trata-se de Pesquisa Aplicada, Exploratória, com abordagem Qualitativa, materializada numa Pesquisa Documental. Usando a Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin foram analisados os PPCs de oito cursos de graduação, ofertados por três universidades públicas do Paraná. Verificou-se que o impacto das mudanças no mundo do trabalho ou dos avanços tecnológicos sobre os profissionais que formam, não é motivo de maior preocupação e discussões na maioria dos projetos da amostra. Quanto às novas competências profissionais exigidas pelo mercado (soft skills), podem ser inferidas dos perfis profissionais e das formas de atuação profissional, mas são muito pouco explicitadas pelos PPCs. A ênfase parece ser direcionada para a formação de hard skills e transmissão de conhecimentos. A preocupação de acompanhar as mudanças na composição das competências profissionais também foi pouco percebida nesses projetos.
The Relationship between Art and Mathematics in the Renaissance: Please Center Take the Work of Leonardo Da Vinci for Example
Authors: Wang Xijing
Published: December 2023

During the Renaissance, both mathematics and art underwent significant development. This article focuses on an artist, who comes from that period, Leonardo da Vinci, who not only excels in painting, but also excels in multiple fields such as mathematics, science, architecture, anatomy, and more. This article mainly studies how mathematics and art are connected in Leonardo da Vinci's eyes. The article draws conclusions by searching for different references and observing da Vinci's works. In Leonardo da Vinci's eyes, he loved art, but mathematics was equally important to him. He studied mathematics and excelled in incorporating mathematical elements into his paintings. He invented many painting techniques related to mathematics, such as Aerial perspective, color perspective, invisible perspective, etc. These techniques make his works more natural and scientific. Through research, it was found that Leonardo da Vinci's proficient mastery of painting skills is related to his attitude toward mathematics. He attaches great importance to mathematics and has also conducted in-depth research. He is skilled in using mathematical principles to compose and create paintings, using mathematical relationships to enrich the visuals.
The Construction and Deconstruction of the Other--On Unreliable Narratives in Othello
Authors: Wang Rui
Published: December 2023

Starting from the relationship between East and West, based on the theory of "Other" and the theory of unreliable narrative of narratology, this paper compares the texts of the story and the play and analyses Shakespeare's reconstruction of Othello's image and the three axes of unreliable narratives in the play. It comes to the conclusion that there is an interactive relationship between the construction of the "Other" and unreliable narratives and that the latter not only contribute to the construction of the "Other" but also deconstruct the "Other". The significance of this paper lies in the reflection on the colonial discourse, the deconstruction and critique of the ideology of the "Other", which is of great relevance in the post-colonial era. It also points out the theoretical gaps of narratology with regard to genres other than fictions and expects to see comparisons of the different narrative styles and effects of different narrative genres.
On Beowulf's Elegiac Mood: from the Perspective of Cognitive Poetics
Authors: Liu Zhaoying
Published: December 2023

Beowulf is the longest narrative poem in ancient England and the most complete and outstanding epic in the early Middle Ages of Europe. It holds an important position in the history of British literature and even European literature. Beowulf mainly tells the great deeds of the hero Beowulf, who is half human and half divine, in subduing monsters and killing poisonous dragons. It has a mythological colour and can be regarded as a heroic mythological epic. It mainly praises Beowulf's heroic spirit, promotes Christian consciousness, and showcases England's unique cultural style during the Anglo-Saxon period. Most studies of Beowulf focus on Germanic culture, literary form, historical background, themes, and symbolic significance portrayed in the poem. By adopting theories in Cognitive Linguistics like prototype, iconicity, perspectives, metaphor, naming in cognitive poetics, this article peruses the elegiac language of Seamus Heaney's Beowulf, illustrating that Beowulf is an elegy of the deaths of heroes, the inconstant fate, the vicissitudes of the world and age, the collapse of tribal society, and ultimately—the elegiac world, and results in that Beowulf is more like an elegy than an epic.
An Exploration of Augmented Reality User Interface Design for the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery Mobile Application
Authors: Chen Yiyuan
Published: December 2023

The main aim of this research is to develop a mobile application that features augmented reality (AR) functions in order to enhance the visitor experience at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Data for this study were collected using different questionnaire surveys, applying quantitative research methods to the survey results. This study is unable to encompass the entire range of theories concerned with interaction design. The reader should bear in mind that the study is grounded in user-centric principles. It is found that young audiences account for the majority of users who demonstrated positive reactions to augmented reality app technology. This demographic of users pay more attention to the entertainment value offered in interactive interfaces as well as the aesthetics of design. Although such users have not used the gallery’s AR app, they have high expectations for this project. Many substantive suggestions are put forward throughout the iterative design process. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the field of AR as well as human-computer interactions more widely. The findings offer further important contributions to the field of interactive experience.
The relationship between Ballet Body and Professional Ballet - the History, System and Future behind Ballet
Authors: Zhou Kanhe
Published: December 2023

The paper delves into the stringent physical standards set for professional female ballet dancers worldwide, commonly termed as the "ideal ballet body". This concept largely emphasizes the physical appearance of dancers, such as long limbs, small head, and a specific proportion between the leg and upper body lengths. While it's acknowledged that this "ideal" is mostly a fantastical standard, professional ballet institutions in different countries respond variably. Using Russia and China as examples, the paper underscores their focus on recruiting dancers whose physiques align closely with this ideal. In contrast, the American professional ballet system is explored for its broader and more holistic approach to recruitment, beyond the "ideal" physique. The paper then offers an in-depth exploration across three chapters: a comparative look at how countries prioritize the "ideal ballet body"; an analysis of the pros and cons of these systems; and, finally, a discussion on the role and future of China's ballet system based on interviews.
Theorizing Fatal Strategies: A New Leftist Vocabulary of Jean Baudrillard
Authors: Yang Shanyi
Published: December 2023

This essay explores Jean Baudrillard’s “fatal strategies” outlined in his seminal work, Fatal Strategies. It also explores their relevance to contemporary postmodern capitalist culture. Baudrillard’s writing style mirrors the ecstatic nature of the society he critiques, employing symbolic exchange to intensify its logic to the point of collapse. The essay further examines Baudrillard’s possible leftist vocabulary rooted in critical theory, poststructuralism, and anti-capitalist critique. Baudrillard’s leftist gesture rejects Enlightenment humanist presumptions, particularly the notion of “the social.” He argues that modern technology exposes humans’ predictability and heteronomy, rendering the Enlightenment ideals obsolete yet still haunting the postmodern “desert of the real.” Baudrillard’s work becomes an exorcism, banishing these specters by asserting that responsible collective subjects and genuine social projects never truly existed. Instead, he highlights “figures of the transpolitical,” such as the obese, hostages, and the obscene, as more indicative of contemporary reality. Moreover, Baudrillard challenges the historical privilege of the subject over the object, exploring the “fatal strategy” of the object “taking revenge” on the subject. His intellectual work, though unsystematic, consistently concerns the system of signs of ideology and the role of media and technology in shaping leftist identities. This essay thus sheds light on Baudrillard’s distinct perspective within the leftist cultural critique, providing insights into the postmodern condition and methodological prospects.
Research on Ancient Education and Culture along the Taizhou Yunyan River
Authors: Huo Yunfeng
Published: December 2023

The ancient Yunyan river that spans Taizhou is “mother river” and has nurtured a charming regional culture. From Dong Zhongshu establishing the Confucian virtue of “Zheng Yi Ming Dao(Act with justice and moral),” to Hu Yuans educational philosophy of “Ming Ti Da Yong(Making practical use of truth), ” to Wang Gen, the founder of the Taizhou School, promoting the “People Daily That Ontology”, it has estabilished a thousand years of cultural and educational system along the ancient salt canal. The Yunyan river of Taizhou City began as a tributary of Hangou dug by Emperor Liu Bi of Wu State in the early Western Han Dynasty in China. This river has a history of more than two thousand years. This river starts from Zhuyu Bay (in today’s Wantou Town) in the west of Yangzhou, passes through Hailingcang (now named Taizhou City), and ends at the east of Rugao Panxi River. The length of this river is 159 kilometers. The river gradually extends to Nantong Jiuxu Port, with a total length of 191 kilometers. In Taizhou City, the river for transporting salt is 64.5 kilometers long. This salt river can be said to be the "mother river" of Taizhou City. This river has cultivated a charming regional culture and shaped a unique cultural space. The development and prosperity of culture and education along the riverside of Yunyan river is inseparable from the three Confucian masters, Dong Zhongshu, Hu Yuan and Wang Gen..

Authors: Wang Bingyan
Published: December 2023

This paper offers a general review of the current studies on factors that can contribute to depression as applied to middle-aged and aged adults. With the aging trend of the whole world population, middle-aged and elderly adults’ mental health becomes an issue that needs to concern. The diversity of the factors is notable, which means people can prevent depression in several different ways. This paper mainly divided the factors into two parts: lifestyle-related factors and physical condition-related factors. Additionally, lifestyle factors include social isolation (SI), ambient temperature, and smoking. The factors that are related to lifestyle are complex and involve chronic disease, sleep duration, obesity, and muscle strength. SI and smoking positively relate with depression. A negative relationship has been found between depression and ambient temperature. Chronic disease and obesity have a positive relationship with depression. Short-term sleep has a significant effect on depression. Muscle strength negatively relates to depression. Overall, this paper highlights the different factors that are related to depression for people in midlife and aged adults.

Online learning has evolved over the past 50 years, from early distance learning through postal systems to today's digital platforms. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of online learning, resulting in increased enrollments and opportunities for learners to improve their skills and employment prospects. Interactional competence, which refers to the skills required for effective communication and support in virtual environments, is an important component of online learning. The development of interactional skills has a positive impact on learning outcomes, engagement, collaboration and social presence. Online learning has both positive and negative effects on classroom dynamics. Online platforms allow students to engage in a variety of ways regardless of geography, fostering diversity and accommodating a wide range of learning preferences. However, the lack of nonverbal cues and face-to-face interaction can hinder teacher-student connections and make it difficult to assess learning in real time. Recognizing these effects is critical to overcoming limitations and improving the quality of online education. Online learning has become a dynamic educational paradigm with both advantages and disadvantages. The digital transformation of education continues to change the learning experience, highlighting the need for interaction skills and overcoming barriers to ensure successful and meaningful online education.

Art therapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and depression: effectiveness and future directions
Authors: Wang Yufan
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the effectiveness of art therapy as a form of psychotherapy to relieve depressive symptoms in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research has long indicated that individuals with autism are susceptible to developing mental health comorbidities, especially depression. Even though art therapy caters to the special needs of the neurodivergent population, and produces significant mental health benefits, past literature of art therapy and ASD has a primary focus on performance related outcomes. By reviewing relevant studies and research, this paper seeks to shed light on the potential therapeutic effects of art therapy for individuals with autism and comorbid depression. The advantages of art therapy over other common interventions, including cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness practices, are also discussed. Given the existing challenges in diagnosing and treating comorbid psychological conditions with ASD, such information is crucial in guiding practitioners to enhance the quality and effectiveness of both existing and future intervention strategies for this disadvantaged population.

Authors: Xia Zhizhen
Published: December 2023

The metaverse, which is essentially a virtual environment parallel to the actual world, is the most recent stage in the evolution of visual immersion technology and is quickly emerging as a testing ground for new social innovations. Since two-dimensional network technology struggles to meet students' demands for immersive learning environments and organic human-computer interactions, meta-universes will change how online education is taught to support students' individualized learning and overall development. In order to push the boundaries of virtual reality technology utilized in various disciplines, this paper will create a virtual reality classroom for neurolinguistics students to learn about aphasia. Different scenarios are built to help students experience communicating with aphasic patients, familiarize themselves with different types of aphasic symptoms and causes, and discuss the rehabilitation program for aphasic patients with peers. Students can complete the whole process of knowledge cognition-experience-construction in a richer and more vivid learning form.
The Impact of Negative Evaluations on Women's Mental Health on social media
Authors: Gu Xiaolong
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the impact of negative online reviews on the psychological well-being of women in the context of social media. Investigating various dimensions of mental health such as positive emotions, body image concerns, anxiety, and depression, this article uncovers the dual nature of social media as both an emotional support platform and a potential source of psychological challenges. This review underscores the multifaceted influences on mental health, encompassing not only emotional reactions but also aspects like self-esteem and anxiety. Findings reveal the crucial role of emotional support from friends and social networks in mitigating negative emotions and psychological stress. Additionally, different usage patterns across social media platforms can affect psychological states, with some platforms eliciting negative evaluations while others lean toward positive interactions. The necessity of developing strategies to promote women's mental health on social media is emphasized, including encouraging positive emotional expression and healthy usage habits. The reliance on self-report data could affect accuracy in previous studies. Future research should incorporate experimental designs and longitudinal methods to establish causal links across various platforms, ages, and cultures, providing a more comprehensive understanding of social media's impact on mental health.

The Impact of Parental Relationship Dissolution on Children’s Problem Behaviors
Authors: Li Chenxiong
Published: December 2023

The current study intends to investigate the processes behind the link between parental relationship breakdown and children's issue behaviors (both internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors). Family interactions are centered upon marriage, and parental marital conflict has an impact on how children develop. A number of studies have demonstrated that marital disagreement between parents may significantly affect kids' emotional and social growth, resulting in undesirable behaviors like internalizing or externalizing tendencies. Additionally, complex mechanisms like mediation and moderation that affect how parental marital conflict affects children's development also play a role in this problem. The consequences of parental marital conflict on children's development are mostly facilitated by children's cognitive-emotional processes and family dynamics. Children's perception, attribution, and coping mechanisms, in addition to parental support, parent-child communication, and the general family environment, all work together to have an influence on this. Additionally, this effect varies based on the kid and surroundings, including gender, age, personality, life experiences, social support, etc. Future studies must simultaneously examine how parental marital conflict affects children's cognitive development, including intelligence, academic success, creativity, etc., further explore how mediating and moderating mechanisms affect children, including parenting styles, teacher support, peer acceptance, etc., and integrate multiple mechanisms to provide strong support for the formulation of intervention programs, such as family therapy, parent-child training, and other programs.
