Authors: Sale Aishawarya , Ladha Nidhi
Published: September 2023

Background: Menopause has different effect on various system in a women’s body. Perimenopause refers to the transitional phase in a woman's life leading up to her final menstrual period. During this time, there are physiological shifts that bring about a range of clinical symptoms like hot flashes, unpredictable menstrual bleeding, and alterations in mood. Literature has already proven that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is prevalent in Post-Menopausal Women and affects Morbidity and Mortality rate. To our knowledge limited literature is focused on systemic effects in Peri-Menopausal Women. Hence the study aimed at estimating the risk of developing T2DM and CVD in future and create awareness in Peri- Menopausal women.
Method: A total of 65 peri- menopausal women falling under age group of 40-50 were the subject population of this study. Participants was selected using purposive sampling technique. Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) was performed to find out the risk of developing T2DM and CVD respectively. Data was analysed using SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistic was performed. Chi square test was performed to find out the association between IDRS and WHR.
Results: 22 (14.3%) and 25 (16.25%) out of 65 peri menopausal women were falling under a moderate and severe risk of developing CVD. 34 (22.1%) and 28(18.2%) out of 65 peri menopausal women were found to have intermediate and high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in future. Among all the symptoms Lethargy had a higher incidence i.e 81% in this study followed by Irritability i.e 68%, Headache i.e 65%, Menstrual irregularities i.e 55%, Anxiety i.e 28% and Palpitation i.e 6% and an extremely significant association was found between IDRS and WHR.
Conclusion: Among 65 peri- menopausal women majority of the peri menopausal women were falling under intermediate and high-risk category of developing T2DM and CVD in future and an extremely significant association was found between these two factors indicating developing a risk of T2DM and CVD in future.

A New View of Chungjuseong [Chungju Sanseong] in the Late Goryeo Dynasty: Focused on the New Discovery of Gyejoksan Fortress Site in Chungju
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Baek Jong-oh
Published: September 2023

This article examines the consistency of the location of Chungjuseong [meaning Chungju Fortress and in other words, Chungju Sanseong meaning Chungju Mountain Fortress], the site of one of the most dramatic battles of the Goryeo-Mongol War(1231-1273), through the perspective of a new discovery. Various hypotheses related to Chungjuseong Fortress have emerged so far, such as Nam Sanseong, Daerim Sanseong, Chungju Eupseong, Deokju Sanseong, etc. Among them, Chungju Eupseong as the fortress of the province and Daerim Sanseong as the mountain fortress have been regarded as persuasive. However, serving as a mountain fortress for defense and protection was done at high and rugged mountain fortresses such as Yang sanseong, Yanggeunseong, Cheonryong Sanseong, and Ibam Sanseong, which are recorded in the literature. In line with this, the fortress site of Gyejoksan Mountain in Chungju proved to have conformity with Chungju Fortress [Chungju Sanseong]. Until now, the fortress site of Gyeyoksan Mountain has been recognized as an extension of the territorial range of Simhanghyeon in the Joseon Dynasty. Thus, the walls were thought to be not related to Chungju Sanseong during the Goryeo-Mongol War. However, Mt. Gyejoksan (now Mt. Gyemyungsan) is the main mountain of Chungju and shows a rugged mountainous position for a fortress site. In addition, based on the main defense direction toward Chungju Town, construction technique of the Goryeo Dynasty, and excavated artifacts, the site was judged to be highly likely to be related to Geum Yun-hu, who was a defense official of Chungju Sanseong. In other words, it was the site of battles such as the 1st(1231),5th(1253), and6th (1256) Mongol invasions. In between, the battles of Geumdanggyeop (1253), Daincheolso (1254), Daewonryeong (1255), and Parkdalhyeon (1258) are also believed to have occurred around this place. The Mongolian method of warfare in the Goryeo-Mongol War was to use local forces that had surrendered to the Mongols. This has the vulnerability of exposing internal information in the battles to defense the capital. In other words, a Goryeo army had to fight against another Goryeo people combined with Mongolian army. The Battle of Chungju Sanseong (1253) had significance in that it provided the opportunity to overcome and recover the asymmetry of this strategy through tripod-shaped terrain site, the high and rugged location, and the guerrilla warfare. This is the first time the outline of the fortress site of Gyejoksan Mountain has been identified. We hope that it will shed new light on the location of Chungjuseong [Chungju Sanseong] in the late Goryeo Dynasty and its historical development. It is also hoped that academic research on the Gyeyoksan fortress site will be conducted in a systematic manner so that the overall status, structure, and consecration techniques of the fortress can be clarified.
Investigation of Postgraduate Studies on the Subject of Comics
Authors: TEMUR Süleyman
Published: September 2023

The use of contemporary teaching materials has been clearly stated in the revised curriculum in line with the constructivist approach. Depending on this situation, the importance of the materials to be used in the learning and teaching process has increased in order to create an effective classroom climate. As a matter of fact, these teaching materials actively involve students in the process and help them build their own learning and achieve permanent learning. One of these teaching materials is comics. As a matter of fact, comics are a multifunctional teaching material in which text and visuality are blended and presented to the reader. For this reason, it was aimed to determine the trends of graduate studies on the subject of comics and to increase the awareness of education staff about comics. In the research, document analysis was used as a data collection tool within the scope of qualitative method. The findings were subjected to content and descriptive analysis. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the postgraduate studies on the subject of comics were mostly published at the master's level, in Turkish in 2022, in Istanbul University, Social Sciences Institute and Graphics Department. In addition, it is seen that the most qualitative method is used as the research methodology, the test/survey/scale is used the most as the data collection tool, and the t-test is used the most in the predictive category in the data analysis technique. In terms of sampling method, it was observed that purposive sampling was used the most in qualitative design, the sample group was 5-8 in primary education and the sample size was in the range of 101-300. Based on all these data, some suggestions were made.
Periodicals, Scientific Popularization, and Domaining Effects
Authors: Morrisson Mark S.
Published: September 2023

Périodiques, vulgarisation scientifique et effets de domaine. Cet article défend l’utilité du concept de « domaining » de l’anthropologue Marilyn Strathern, tel qu’il a été adapté à l’étude des sciences et de la littérature par Susan Merrill Squier, pour notre compréhension de la circulation et du développement des connaissances scientifiques à travers la culture populaire et la vulgarisation scientifique. À l’aide d’exemples tirés des travaux de Squier sur les technologies de reproduction et de mes propres travaux sur les premières décennies de la recherche sur la radioactivité et la physique nucléaire, l’article montre que les périodiques constituent un environnement propice à la création de liens et de déplacements qui se produisent dans le cadre de la recherche scientifique. Ils combinent en effet plusieurs auteurs, différents genres et des images visuelles, souvent fournies par plusieurs illustrateurs ou dans le contexte de textes et d’images publicitaires. Le concept de « domaining » de Strathern met en évidence les dimensions culturelles de la construction et de la circulation des connaissances et nous aide à interpréter les juxtapositions d’images et de tropes dans de multiples domaines. La vulgarisation scientifique peut donc être comprise comme faisant partie d’une pratique de négociation culturelle en constante expansion.
Publicité et périodiques d’entreprise dans la France de l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Boucharenc Myriam
Published: September 2023

L’essor des house-organs coïncide en France avec le développement des grandes entreprises et l’arrivée à maturité de la publicité comme profession et discipline nouvelles au cours de l’entre-deux-guerres. Le secteur du tourisme et des transports, de l’industrie et de la Haute couture sont, avec les laboratoires pharmaceutiques, les principaux pourvoyeurs de cette presse hybride. Proches du journal, de la revue ou du magazine par leur conception et leur distribution, les périodiques d’entreprise se caractérisent par leur extrême diversité s’agissant de leur mode de diffusion, de leur tirage, de leur périodicité comme du format, des contenus et de la ligne éditoriale qu’ils adoptent. Tout à la fois moyens et supports promotionnels, ces outils de prospection et de vente, de communication et de valorisation de l’entreprise, sont aussi des diffuseurs de contenus culturels : certains ont fait date par l’audace et le luxe de leur conception graphique et artistique. Ils constituent un observatoire de premier plan des stratégies, des modalités et des formes historiques de la publicité imprimée.
Science et sensationnalisme dans Détective (1928-1940)
Authors: Vérilhac Yoan
Published: September 2023

Entre 1928 et 1940, en raison du développement des techniques de la police scientifique, de la médecine légale et de la psychologie, l’hebdomadaire de faits divers – Détective – intègre naturellement la science à son univers de crimes. Mais le magazine est aussi bien celui de la « science contre le crime » que celui de l’horoscope, de la magie, de la sorcellerie, du spiritisme, de la fascination générale pour le paranormal et le surnaturel, des publicités innombrables pour des produits-miracles et des inventions merveilleuses. Comment qualifier la place de la science dans un tel dispositif sensationnaliste ? À travers l’exemple de Détective, on touche la cohérence profonde de la culture sensationnaliste, liant science, superstition et recherche du bonheur, autour des paradigmes du « savoir » et du « mystère ».
Le Bulletin de la Société de l’industrie minérale ou la participation d’une revue à l’émergence de la figure de l’ingénieur civil (1855-1914)
Authors: Rojas Luc
Published: September 2023

Si les différentes représentations font de l’ingénieur un personnage incontournable de l’industrialisation, celles-ci omettent les différences entre les ingénieurs d’État travaillant pour l’Administration et les ingénieurs civils officiant dans les entreprises. Ces derniers n’apparaissent qu’au cours du XIXe siècle et deviennent progressivement une élite industrielle dont les premiers établissements formateurs sont fondés dans le premier tiers du siècle. Malgré cela, la reconnaissance socio-professionnelle de ces acteurs est parfois difficile. C’est pourquoi, en 1855, des professeurs et des anciens élèves de l’École des mineurs de Saint-Étienne fondent une société savante, la Société de l’industrie minérale, dont l’objectif est de faire reconnaître la figure de l’ingénieur civil. Dès cet instant, le Bulletin de la Société de l’industrie minérale devient un outil permettant l’affirmation de l’ingénieur civil, en faisant reconnaître le titre même d’ingénieur civil, mais aussi en contribuant à l’émergence d’une démarche scientifique propre ou encore en développant des pratiques professionnelles spécifiques.
Politique du merveilleux dans la presse de vulgarisation scientifique du Second Empire et de la Belle Époque
Authors: Hohnsbein Axel
Published: September 2023

Les hebdomadaires spécialisés des années 1880-1900 valorisent une vulgarisation ludique et spectaculaire, alimentant le goût pour un merveilleux scientifique que les romans d’anticipation porteront à son paroxysme. Pourtant, les mots « merveille », « merveilleux » et « scientifique » entretiennent une relation complexe au sein de la presse de vulgarisation spécialisée, qui n’a pas toujours bénéficié d’autant de latitude dans le choix de ses sujets. Notre objectif est de montrer comment ces périodiques ont construit leur relation à la merveille et au merveilleux depuis le Second Empire, parvenant après 1870 à s’affranchir de leur image de « trafiquants de science » (Auguste Comte, 1935) pour produire une vulgarisation capable d’annexer presque tous les sujets et d’explorer tous les lieux (laboratoires, grands magasins, baraques foraines…). Pleinement déployé, le merveilleux propre à la presse de vulgarisation scientifique ne saurait donc se réduire aux thématiques les plus étranges et spectaculaires. Nous montrerons que cette conception est le fruit d’innovations progressives et d’ajustements éditoriaux, portés par un réseau de rédacteurs parmi lesquels les plus importants sont parfois les plus oubliés.

Todo esto se enmarca en la idea de reafirmar la importancia del ser humano como elemento fundamental en el desarrollo integral de las sociedades.
Os limites e possibilidades do cooperativismo em assentamentos da reforma agrária na região de Carajás (PA)
Authors: Silva Raimundo Nonato Santos da , Silva Daniel Nogueira
Published: September 2023

As cooperativas de pequenos agricultores podem atuar como um importante instrumento para fomentar a promoção do desenvolvimento regional e viabilizar a permanência das pessoas nas suas propriedades com geração de renda e qualidade de vida. Contudo, essas práticas econômicas possuem alguns limites estruturais para alcançar os objetivos que se propõem. Diante disso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a dinâmica organizacional e produtiva do cooperativismo na região de Carajás (PA), com base nos principais desafios econômicos e organizacionais enfrentados pela Central das Cooperativas de Produção Familiar da Região Amazônica (CUIA). Para isso, em um primeiro momento é apresentado alguns aspectos do debate sobre o campesinato e o papel do cooperativismo agrário. Em seguida, é utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semi-estruturadas a nível individual com presidentes e membros de diretorias selecionados sem critério randômico que permite sistematizar alguns dos principais limites e potencialidades dessas experiências econômicas no território estudado, a partir de uma perspectiva crítica.
Estrutura de classe e distribuição de renda no Brasil
Authors: Cipolla Francisco Paulo , De Aquino Dayani Cris
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho tem dois objetivos: formalizar o problema da distribuição de renda a partir da teoria econômica exposta por Marx em O Capital e analisar a relação entre a distribuição de renda no Brasil e sua respectiva estrutura de classe. A análise da distribuição de renda deve ser feita em dois níveis necessários: a divisão primária da renda, que se dá entre salários de trabalhadores produtivos e mais valia; e a divisão secundária da renda, que se dá quando a mais valia é dividida entre os diversos tipos de capitais (industrial, comercial, bancário etc.), os trabalhadores improdutivos e o Estado. Buscou-se identificar, na Tabela de Recursos e Usos (TRU) do Sistema de Contas Nacionais do IBGE, os percentuais de renda apropriados pela classe capitalista frente àqueles apropriados pela classe trabalhadora, evidenciando que o problema da concentração de renda está no antagonismo entre capital e trabalho que se expressa por meio da taxa de mais valia.
Comparative Analysis of the Legal Status of an Unborn Child in Criminal Law in Nigeria, America, United Kingdom (UK), and India
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, Nigeria, Onuegbulam Maria Chigozie
Published: September 2023

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 1948 inspired all other human rights conventions and declarations adopted since after its proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly. Though most International and domestic Human Rights instruments lack a universal inclusion of the fetus as a person for the purposes of human rights, they provide for the protection of the same unborn child as a member of the human family. The American Convention on Human Rights for example guarantees the right to life and to the physical and mental integrity of the unborn child. Most countries have adopted it in providing legal measures for the protection of human fetus under the law. Progressively, Target-4 of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 3.4) is positive on the point with an agenda of “leaving no one behind” and that of course includes the unborn child. Regrettably, some countries have consciously deviated from providing such protective laws for the rights of an unborn child. This research aims at analysing comparatively the legal status of an unborn child in criminal law in four common law countries. The objective is to highlight the need for both international and domestic recognition for the right of an unborn child. The study adopts doctrinal designs using comparative approaches with reliance on Statutes, case law, law reviews and data in web-based sources. The research found that except in America, the unborn child has no legal right. Consequently, there is need to guarantee the legal personality of the unborn child globally.
Legal Response to Oil Pollution in the Maritime Environment: A Comparative Analysis of Nigeria, United Kingdom and the United States
Authors: Tamuno Paul S.
Published: September 2023

This article undertakes a comparative analysis of the legal response to oil pollution in the maritime environment in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States. Major oil spills in these three states are examined with the aim of highlighting how each state responded to the pollution. In Nigeria, oil spills that are examined include: Texaco’sFuniwa-5 oil well spill of 1980 and the Mobil Qua-Iboe oil spillage of 1998. As regards the United Kingdom, the Torrey Canyon incident and other spills are examined. For the United States, the Ixtoc 1 spill of 1979, the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 and the Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010 are examined.  These spills were often due to accidents and negligence during oil drilling and transportation. The United Kingdom and the United States had more robust legislation and policies that spelt out in advance how companies were to respond to oil spills. They also had effective mechanisms for the implementation and enforcement of the response to oil spills.  This was the case even in situations, such as the Torrey Canyon incident, in which the oil spills was from a vessel transporting crude oil in the international waters. In Nigeria, legislation on oil spills were often outdated andin conflict with each other. They were also poorly implemented due to inter alia inadequate funds, lack of political will on the part of the government and the fact that the Nigerian government is in Joint Venture agreements with the Multinational oil companies.
Taxation and Public Health Regulation in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges
Authors: Ajagunna Folakemi O.
Published: September 2023

Unhealthy behaviours such as smoking, drinking excess alcohol and unhealthy diets have been identified as key drivers of poor health outcomes and have significant consequences for individuals. One of the core duties of the state via the instrument of public health law is to ensure that individuals stay healthy through maintaining healthy lifestyle choices. In most instances, this is not really the case as individuals engage in activities that are detrimental to their health. Whilst individuals have rights to privacy and freedom of choices, nevertheless the state has an inherent duty under the Constitution to ensure the populace stays healthy. This paper examines the prospects and challenges of regulating unhealthy behaviours through taxation. It adopts a desk-based method to examine the prospects and challenges associated with health taxes. It cautions against having economic motives alone for imposing health taxes and recommends that other approaches like increasing awareness about unhealthy habits should be embraced alongside health taxes. The paper concludes that health taxes are relevant to curb increasing disease burden in Nigeria.
Analysis of the Seeming Conflicts in the Division of Powers Between Directors and Members of the Company in General Meeting
Authors: Obinuchi Chimezule
Published: September 2023

A company is a legal personality distinct and separate from its owner. It can sue and be sued in its name. The extant law, Companies and Allied Matters Act described it as having all the powers of a natural person of full capacity. This paper critically examines the conflicts which are bound to arise in company operation and administration. The directors of companies on one hand see themselves as the engine room and life wire of the company, on the other hand the members who are shareholders see themselves as the ‘owners’ andwatchdog of the company. It is obvious from the above scenario that conflicts are bound to arise between the directors and members in general meeting of the company. This research work explains in details the law of meeting and types bringing out the new innovations introduced in the new Act as it relates to what constitutesordinary business of Annual General Meeting of company. It is the finding of this research that serious conflict exist between the directors of companies and members especially where the directors exercises powers that are ultravires their powers but intravires the powers of the company.This research concludes that where such exercise ofpowers by directors are for the benefit of the company it should be ratified by members in general meeting for the good of the company. Cooperation between the members and directors for the growth of the company should be the utmost desire of all.

Hermeneutical Weakening
Authors: Zhang Zhao
Published: September 2023

Hermeneutical injustice is an epistemic injustice that happens when a person's experience cannot be well understood or articulated because of the problem with the collective hermeneutical resource -- a collection of concepts and words that we use to understand one's experience and to communicate with one another about it. Previously, Miranda Fricker and Rebecca Mason have suggested two types of hermeneutical injustice: Hermeneutical Gap and Hermeneutical Distortion. Fricker believes that hermeneutical injustice is a gap between hermeneutical resources, whereas Mason suggests the collective hermeneutical resource can also be distorted when the words and concepts that comprise it are inferentially related in ways that are invalid or inductively weak. However, in this paper, I identify a novel type of hermeneutical injustice that I call Hermeneutical Weakening. In a case of HW, hermeneutical injustice is neither caused by the collective hermeneutical resource being deficient nor it being distorted, but due to it being weakened. I define Hermeneutical Weakening as the loss of word significance when the lexical effect of the word is weakened due to overuse. I then differentiate hermeneutical weakening from both hermeneutical gap and distortion. In particular, I analyze the subtle differences between weakening and distortion and argue the lexical effect can also be weakened through non-literal uses of words when the literal standard meaning of words to which distortion tied is suspended. Finally, I explain the generation of hermeneutical weakening and how it is also a form of oppression of the marginalized group generated systematically under the social system.
The Lower Income Level of Chinese Females in Offices ---The Case of the Financial Industry in Beijing and Shanghai
Authors: Qin Zicheng
Published: September 2023

This paper elaborates on the intrinsic impacts of several factors on the gender treatment gap. We further announce that factors such as traditional culture, family, personal characteristics, and legislation make a difference in the gender wage gap. Moreover, time-honored Chinese culture, like patriarchy, plays a vital role in forming the gender gap. Also, our statistical results illustrate that the regional difference among the financial industries of Beijing and Shanghai determine the extent of the gender gap, and variations in the added value of economic drives and labor force are the most influential factors. Thus, we conclude that regional discrepancy exists in China, and the significant indicators vary in distinct geographical areas. Besides, it is still worthwhile to explore regional sexual inequality in developing regions, and the impacts of determinants exclude the economy and education.
The Development of Steel Construction with the Innovation Brought by High-Tech Architecture
Authors: Chen Liangying
Published: September 2023

Steel is arguably one of the most popular materials in the world today, with a strong, reliable, flexible and sustainable structure that is used as the primary structural material in most of the world's infrastructure and buildings today. As a highly malleable and growing structure, the way architects and structural engineers have used steel has evolved over the centuries and, as technology evolves, the use of steel in the architectural world is likely to evolve in the future. The article wants to take the famous cases of steel buildings as an entry point to develop the impact of steel application on modern architectural design and innovation. Three case studies are used to illustrate how steel structures can meet the needs of modern architecture and achieve creative breakthroughs in architectural and structural design. The three cases are the Chicago Home Insurance Building, the HSBC Building in Hong Kong and the Centre Pompidou in France. This paper deeply elucidates and systematically summarizes how structural designers break through tradition and seek innovation when existing structural technology cannot meet the demands of architectural design. How designers break through traditions, seek, and create new techniques that help turn architects' imaginations into reality. It also provides an important basis for future cooperation and innovation in architectural and structural design.

In todays society, implementing social-e motional learning (SEL) is an important way to promote childrens all-round development fromthesmallsense, and the key to building global citizenship fromthelargesense. With the concept of social-emotional learning being proposed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), and SEL was putting on the global policy agenda by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), many countries have begun to explore and carry out relevant practices according to their actual conditions. This study takes the practice of MOE-UNICEF SEL Programme Team in China as an example to analyse how the policies and practices related to social-emotion learning were diffused and innovated in China. Onthisbasis, some preliminary suggestions on policy formation, theoretical framework, areas requiring special attention, programme implementation and evaluation can be put forward, which are hoped to provide a little reference for the better promotion of SEL.
Motivation Behind Conducting Altruism
Authors: Mo Weiyu
Published: September 2023

In todays workplace, Generation Z (those born between 1990 and 2010) is gradually entering the labor market. This generation of young Chinese people has formed their unique social views and values due to the shaping and influence of their social environment. They show a high degree of self-awareness in their work, but at the same time have different degrees of dedication and a tendency of loafing on the job when faced with collective work. Therefore, based on this phenomenon as a starting point, this experiment attempts to explore the moral psychology of this group of people when they work in a group through a thought experiment interview. The results show that when many people show altruistic behavior, their motivation often comes from the balance of their personal benefits. There are also a few people willing to make greater efforts and trust to the uncertain collective work returns. However, when asked about the reasons behind the choices made in each experiment, interviewees often did not realize that their rational thinking was being affected by the moral intuition that they were accustomed to.
An Analysis of the Mother-Daughter Relationship in the Film Turning Red from a Feminist Perspective
Authors: Fan Jinzhi
Published: September 2023

Turning Red is an animated film by Pixar, directed by Domee Shi, which tells the story of Meimei, a Chinese girl living in Toronto, Canada, with her friends and family during her adolescence. Meimei and Ming are very typical of the Chinese mother-daughter relationship. This paper focuses on the 'mother-daughter relationship' in this film from a feminist perspective and analyses the relationships and conflicts based on Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that the mother in the film is a strong character as an image with high demands on her child; the daughter is depicted invisibly as the Other, but thanks to her friends' support and the effect of her environment, she wakes her sense of self and reconciles with her mother. The mother and daughter appear to be in conflict and confrontation before, but in fact, both have the same inner choice, and the mother eventually agrees with her daughter's choice. These seemingly small shifts are the result of generations of women fighting for their rights. More and more women are able to be themselves without being bound by tradition and without being held hostage by habit, and this is the meaning of feminism to this day.

Cyberbullying has become more prevalent in todays society, and young people who experience it frequently feel isolated and helpless, potentially contributing to the rising rate of depression. However, little research has been conducted on the depression caused by cyberbullying among Chinese high school students. Therefore, this study focuses on the current state of depression among Chinese high school students and its correlation with age, gender, and city level. The questionnaire used was a modified Chinese version of the CES-D scale and was distributed via social media to 184 current Chinese high school students from various regions. After conducting a pilot study, the language of the Chinese version of the CES-D scale has been adjusted to become more understandable for students. Participants filled out an online questionnaire, and SPSS was used to analyse the data. Male students have a slightly lower average total depression score (M = 62.74) than female students (M = 65.71). There was no correlation between gender and student depression. Furthermore, there is no significant correlation between school location and depression levels (p = 0.084, p > 0.05). In addition, the overall Pearson correlation score indicates that depression and age are correlated with a weak association of 0.178 and a significance of 0.016 (p = 0.016, p < 0.05).

With the rapid development of the economy and the rise of peoples con-sumption level, the problem of garbage is becoming a more and more severe challenge. Meanwhile, colleges, as a place with a high concentration of stu-dents, have also more serious garbage sorting problems. Therefore, this paper will be devoted to analyzing the factors that influence college students gar-bage sorting behavior in the post-epidemic period. To start with, a question-naire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model was made to collect students data. Then the KMO tests and AMOS Structural Equation Fitting were conducted to verify the validity of the data and structure. After confirming that the data is effective, the data will be analyzed by building models including the Measurement Model of Empirical Analysis Framework, Overall model fitting, Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model and original Model. Lastly, with the optimization of the mediation effect and confirmatory factor analysis, the conclusion can be drawn that the student participants tend to adopt garbage-sorting behavior in both willingness and action. And the results show that they also have a positive attitude, good subjective norms, and strong perceived behavior control for the garbage sorting behavior on campus.

Authors: Luo Yanqiu
Published: September 2023

Postpartum depression in men is similar to that of women with postpartum depression, but the manifestations are different. Yet, this mental illnesses in men are not being given the same attention as women, and some people aren't even aware that males can exhibit postpartum depression symptoms. As a result, this article lists the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression in males, as well as the internal and external variables that cause it and the interventions available for treating it. This article also provides a relatively comprehensive summary of the elements influencing it and coping strategies, and outlines the current state of research. Future research should focus on examining scales specifically designed to screen men, using experimental studies to validate and explore the factors that influence postpartum depression in men. The field of cross-cultural research has much room for development, and the medical system for the treatment for men needs to be improved.
The UN Security Council's Mandate and Its Future Development: An Analysis Based on Law Governing International Organizations
Authors: Wang Yihan
Published: September 2023

After the Second World War, the world adhered to an international order embodied by the United Nations, which regulated interstate disputes, upheld peace, and encouraged international cooperation in areas like economic development, justice, children's welfare, and food security. One of the most important United Nations bodies is the Security Council, which has the authority to propose binding resolutions to uphold international peace and security. Some contend that the current United Nations model has only played a minimal and limited role, despite the fact that the United Nations was initially founded to achieve long-lasting global peace through cooperation. Their concerns include the legality of Council resolutions, the abuse of the veto, and its unfair consequences, among other things. The normative analysis of United Nations conventions and some Security Council regulatory documents is the primary method used to discuss both of these problems in this article. The paper makes the argument that even though the Security Council has been "paralyzed" for a while in incidents like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it has at least given countries the opportunity for negotiation and has significantly contributed to ensuring the most stable possible international social order. In order to accomplish the objective of maintaining global security and peace, reform may lead to the Council's jurisdiction being further expanded or the duties of the other United Nations bodies being increased.
Creditor Protection Mechanism of Debtor's Fraudulent Transfer: Comparing Current Legislation of China and the United States
Authors: Li Yixin
Published: September 2023

Fraudulent transfer behavior refers to the act of a debtor, in order to evade debt, obstructing or delaying the creditor's realization of their creditor's rights by transferring their own property or establishing a right burden on the property. This concept is originated from the Anglo-American legal system, but similar concepts can also be found in Chinese law system. The fundamental reason why fraudulent transfer behavior needs to be regulated is that it violates the debtor's moral obligations of integrity and fairness towards creditors. Based on a comparative analysis of existing rules in China and the United States from the exercise of the right of avoidance to determination that the assignment is invalid, this article proposes a possible approach to fraudulent transfer rules in China in mainly three aspects: improving the definition of fraudulent transfer, providing creditors with more adequate remedies, and adjusting the burden of proof for creditors to exercise avoidance rights.

According to the United Nations, in the 1980s low fertility rates were found only in highly developed countries. More recently, an increasing number of countries in Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean are experiencing fertility below replacement level. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and media contact, this paper studies the influencing factors of fertility intention through SPSS data analysis. The research shows that there is a significant positive correlation between behavioral attitude, subjective norms and media content on fertility intention, among which behavioral attitude is the most influential predictive variable of fertility intention. However, perceived behavioral control, duration and frequency of media use had no significant effects on fertility intention. This may be because in the Internet era, people's vision and patterns have been opened, and under the impact of multiple information, they turn to think about deeper issues such as how to realize the value of life. Individual consciousness is stronger, so personal attitude has become the most critical factor. Understanding the influencing factors of fertility intention is helpful to better cope with social problems such as fewer children and old age.
On Disambiguating baa sentences in Heyuan Hakka
Authors: Liu Wenqian
Published: September 2023

As a rarely researched Chinese dialect, some interesting phenomena in Heyuan Hakka have not been well investigated. Although previous studies have researched some idiosyncractic markers or constructions in Heyuan Hakka, e.g., the grammaticalised baa, current interpretations of the linguistic phenomena in this Chinese diaclect are superficial. To introduce more up-to-date syntactic theories to the research of Heyuan Hakka, the multifunctional word baa is an ideal window into the combination of theories and concrete examples. Based on previous studies, this paper aims to give a further explanation of how native speakers decipher ambiguous baa sentences, i.e., to identify whether baa is a disposal marker or a passive marker, based on the more recent data collected from 8 native speakers. To achieve this foremost goal, this study investigates the effect of the animacy hieararchy and plausibility on producing baa sentences. For future research, this paper would inspire researchers to study Heyuan Hakka in virture of different theories and even to study other under-researched dialects in China.
