How Can International Law Better Address Illegal Transnational Drug Trades
Authors: Jin Zeyu , Hu Yingxuan , Xu Stanley
Published: April 2024

This paper seeks to analyze how international institutions and treaties can effectively suppress the occurrence of transnational drug trade. Different primary and secondary sources regarding current drug-related global conventions and organizations were analyzed to pinpoint reasons for their inadequacy in combatting the international exchange of drugs. We drew upon previous drug-trade cases and examined United Nations (UN) documents to offer a comprehensive solution to the issue. Research has suggested that the responsibility does not lie alone with drug-specialized international corporations: with corruption and money laundering heavily related to the drugs trade, non-drug specialized institutions must collaborate with the former in order to tackle illegal transnational drug trades both regionally and on a global scale. Although efforts have been made to address this issue with the establishment of various conventions and committees, the lack of enforcement, commitment from different States, as well as collaboration between relevant institutions lead to the drug market being a relevant issue in todays society, threatening the lives of thousands both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, few papers have dedicated attention to international law and illicit drug trafficking.

Authors: Zhu Wenxuan , Xu Moran , Wang Shuyi
Published: April 2024

Otome game is a kind of role-playing game developed for female players. In the past few years, otome games have become very popular in China, with the number of female players rising rapidly. Although there are previous studies exploring the impacts of otome games to players in real lives, relationship between players body image and otome games has never been studied before. During the research, we collected 286 valid responses from both female and male participants in China, including those who play and not play otome games, and then compared their different extent of body image anxiety according to the data. The research found that female players are more likely to have negative attitudes towards their body image, and otome game players perception of body image seems to be more likely to be influenced by games. The deeper relationship the players have developed with the fictional character, the more likely their attitudes towards their body image seem to be influenced. Most players think gaming has made them more confident about their body and appearance. The avatar image in the game does not affect the body image of the majority of gamers.

Socioeconomic Status as a Factor of Male Domestic Violence: Adaptations Due to Paternity Uncertainty Theory
Authors: Liu Morong , Yu Shiying , Hua Wentao , Wang Ruoling
Published: April 2024

This article proposes the hypothesis that males of low socioeconomic status (SES) would more likely be a perpetrator of domestic violence due to selection pressures branching from paternity uncertainty. This article would address two points: 1) males are more prone to use violence to control female sexuality to solve the adaptive problem of paternity uncertainty 2) violent mechanisms to control female sexuality and ensure paternity certainty of males of lower SES are more easily triggered due to a more exaggerated fear of losing valuable resources compared to males of higher SES. This study will focus on Chinese society in particular and will base the experiment on the Chinese population using a questionnaire.
Analysis of the Application of the Responsibility to Protect in International Law
Authors: Zhao Zichun
Published: April 2024

Since the establishment of international organizations, international humanitarian intervention has been widely used in dealing with international disputes, until it was first introduced in written form in the World Summit Outcome in 2005, which emphasized the need to establish broader collective security and was endorsed by heads of State. However, in the process of applying the responsibility to protect, many problems have been shown, such as the problem of "inhumane" consequences caused by forceful intervention; the problem of deficiencies in the application procedure; the problem of ambiguity in the interpretation of the responsibility to protect, etc. This paper is based on the practice of the international community, and analyzes the solutions to the problems of the current situation in the light of typical cases. In the application of the responsibility to protect, the basic principles of international law should be taken into account, and in the process of interpretation, the concept of "three pillars" should be followed when the concept of the responsibility to protect was put forward, so as to prevent the expansion of interpretation. The procedure of the responsibility to protect should be optimized, with the establishment of a professional assessment body "ex-ante" to strike a balance between legitimacy and efficiency, the improvement of the monitoring mechanism "in the middle of the process" to ensure the smooth implementation of interference, and the improvement of the accountability mechanism "ex-post" to prevent interference from occurring. "Improve accountability mechanisms to prevent abuse of the right to intervene and ensure that all peaceful means have been exhausted before intervening by force, so as to promote the better application and development of the responsibility to protect in today's world.
Evaluating Harkness with Chinas Growing Interest in Project-Based Learning Studies in High School
Authors: Liu Che
Published: April 2024

As China advances its educational methods, it has incorporated innovative approaches into high school education, notably Project-Based Learning (PBL), which emphasizes hands-on learning experiences to improve academic performances among students. Another pedagogy, Harkness learning, shares similar educational goals with PBL, prompting discussions about their potential collaborative use in Chinese high school classrooms. This paper examines the feasibility of such implementation by exploring the origins, influences, and practical considerations of Harkness learning, introducing China's high school education system and discussing PBL implementation in China. The paper concludes that Harkness and PBL can potentially complement each other effectively, as Harkness specializes in refining academic abilities, while PBL aims to enhance general subject knowledge. As there is a relative scarcity of research material in this specific field, this literature review holds substantial importance for scholars who intend to conduct further research on the collaborative integration of Harkness and PBL, particularly within the context of implementation in China.
How Childhoods Linguistic Critical Period Influences Adult English Language Acquisition Phonological Insights in Consonants for Chinese-English Bilingual Learners
Authors: Chen Linke , Tan Xirui , Xu Mengqi , Tong Jacob
Published: April 2024

The Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH) has always been a topic of continuous debate in second language acquisition. This paper reports on a study investigating the ultimate achievement in English consonant pronunciation of late second-language (English) learners whose native language is Chinese. The research aims to explore the impact of the CPH on the ultimate attainment in English consonant pronunciation by comparing scores of adult and child English learners. This study involves speech samples from three groups of learners: one group is native English speakers as a control group, the second is late Chinese learners of English who are highly successful in listening, reading, and writing, and the third group is Chinese native speakers who started learning English from a young age. Professional native English speakers and AI will be used to score their speech samples. Throughout the experiment, we hypothesize the critical period does affect the production of phonological consonants. In addition, the results of the study could offer an enlightening point for pedagogy and could provide some advice for phonetic English learning in second language acquisition.

Impact of Awareness of Symptoms on Risk in Suicidality in Schizophrenia Patients
Authors: Pan Yutong
Published: April 2024

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder which might become more serious if patients recognize their symptoms that would lead to suicidal attempts. In this work, cognitive functions and comorbidity are discussed while analyzing factors contributing to insight into illness and suicidality. First of all, depression and substance use are important comorbidities relating to suicidal behaviors in schizophrenia patients. Moreover, hopelessness in patients after recognizing having awareness of schizophrenia symptoms is also predicting suicidality. Secondly, external factors are mentioned such as social stressors and family stressors that contribute to the recognition of symptoms causing functional disabilities in daily life and therefore attempting to suicide as a result. The meanings and implications of analyzing the internal and external factors are to explore if the environment, genetics, and additional mental disorders would lead to patients recognition of symptoms that should be expected to be detected in the very early stages of schizophrenia episodes. Specifically, based on this, more patients who have awareness of symptoms and tend to suicide afterward would be forestalled.

Authors: Li Zhuochen
Published: April 2024

With the advancements in science and technology, the learning methods of college students, especially college foreign language learners, are constantly evolving. The rapid development of Internet technology and artificial intelligence software has contributed to the diversification of students' learning modes. Nowadays, mobile-assisted language learning based on application software and network platform is gradually becoming an important mode for foreign language students. Considering the rapid update and iteration of mobile applications and the popularity of novel artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGPT, this study aims to explore the current situation of English major students' usage of English learning tools, investigate the specific method of using different software, and briefly analyze their advantages and disadvantages in combination with pedagogical theories. The research combines quantitative and qualitative research patterns, with questionnaires and interviews as the main operating methods. The main participants were 34 students from Shandong Universitys Class of 2020, majoring in English oriented in business. The finding suggests that contemporary English majors have a high use rate of English learning tools, mainly focusing on online learning platforms, artificial intelligence technology and dictionary apps; However, the number of users of exam-oriented apps and oral communication software is relatively small. According to the analysis of corresponding pedagogy theories, those learning tools based on constructivism are more popular than the software based on behaviorism. Moreover, a small minority of software are not favored by students because of their own limitations. It is important to note that our study has some limitations, in terms of small sample size and restricting to English major students. Future research should involve a more diverse sample to better understand the impact of the various English learning tools on students critical thinking skills.
The Evidence Against Hunter-gatherer Theory: The Evolution of Gender Differences
Authors: Guo Shiyu , Chen David Yang , Ye Wenxi
Published: April 2024

Hunter-gatherer theory in evolutionary psychology has been the theoretical underpinning of many modern ideas and stereotypes. However, modern archaeology and biology advancements suggest a more flexible understanding of female-male roles during the Stone Age than previously believed. This paper critically examines the recent evidence that challenges the conventional Hunter-gatherer theory, addressing the topic through three distinct lenses: Firstly, Drawing from contemporary archaeological findings, the authors argue that the prehistoric division of labor diverges from the Hunter-gatherer theory's traditional stance on female gathering and male hunting. Recent studies, for instance, have unveiled evidence of female hunters in ancient societies, challenging long-held beliefs. Secondly, the authors delve into the gender dynamics of long-distance running ability, a specific manifestation often attributed to gender differences by the Hunter-gatherer theory. This exploration seeks to understand the balance between male and female capabilities. Thirdly. Through a comparative analysis of historical variances in dietary preferences and height differences, juxtaposed with their societal implications, the authors introduce the "Gender Binary Cycle" as a more fitting framework to elucidate the origins of contemporary gender disparities.

New 7D and Memristor-Based 8D Chaotic Systems: Computer Modeling and Circuit Implementation
Authors: Kopp M.
Published: April 2024

The most pressing modern problem of using chaotic systems in practice is the development of multi-channel information encryption methods. To solve these problems, there is a need to develop multidimensional chaos generators. In this paper, novel multidimensional 7D and 8D hyperchaotic systems are presented. It details a technique for creating a 7D dynamic system derived from a pre-existing 6D dynamic system. Additionally, this paper outlines the development of an 8D nonlinear dynamic system utilizing a memristor. An examination of innovative 7D and 8D dynamic systems was conducted, focusing on the determination of Lyapunov exponents, the construction of bifurcation diagrams, and the identification of equilibrium points along with their corresponding stability conditions for each system. As a result of computer modeling of 7D and 8D hyperchaotic systems in MATLAB-Simulink and Labview, phase portraits of numerous strange attractors were obtained. Finally, using Multisim software, electronic circuits for new 7D and 8D chaos generators were built, which demonstrated similar behavior as in the MATLAB-Simulink and LabView models.
Building communities for student success: facilitating student belonging through online inductions
Authors: McKenzie Scott , Castle-Herbert Alayla , Verriès-Wade Anne , Silk Hanna
Published: April 2024

In 2022, The Open University in Wales launched a series of online induction events for new students, aiming to develop students′ sense of belonging, provide an effective transition to the university, and ultimately, to support students to succeed. A theory of change (ToC)
model informed the design and evaluation of the induction events. This article presents the initial evaluation, using qualitative and quantitative data to test the assumptions underpinning the ToC and explore questions such as: are online induction events effective for developing a sense of
belonging? Which students attended the events? What do we know about the subsequent academic performance of students who attended compared to those who did not? The results suggest that well-designed online induction events can effectively foster a sense of belonging among students. However,
when examining factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, certain groups of students appear less likely to participate. The authors emphasise the importance of using data to develop awareness of potential systemic barriers to engagement, and using these insights to remove barriers,
address the specific needs of diverse student populations, and foster a more supportive and inclusive educational environment.
Using community interaction theory to understand the effects of group mentoring on adolescents
Authors: Hanson Jill , Blake Hannah , Clark Lewis
Published: April 2024

This paper describes the outcomes for adolescents taking part in a 12-week group behavioural mentoring programme and possible causal mechanisms involved, using Law's (1981) Community Interaction Theory as a theoretical framework. The two-stage qualitative research with four groups
of students aged 13-14 showed that there were changes to their understanding of self, their self-confidence, their ability to control emotions and behaviour and, importantly, changes in their career aspirations. Interacting with their mentors (adults from outside their previous communities)
appeared to have a significant impact on them. The data suggests this was via the creation of a new community which moderated existing beliefs about who they were, and what opportunities were open to them. The mentors provided feedback, support and information, and were perceived as a credible
and trusted role model. The study offers an application of Law's theory to the younger students it was developed for and provides evidence suggestive of the importance of interactions with wider communities in career development and widening participation, although future research should
consider long-term follow-up of mentees.
The care-less academy? Making space for parents and carers in higher education
Authors: Spacey Rachel , Sanderson Rebecca , Zile Amy
Published: April 2024

Within Higher Education (HE) research there is increasing interest in the links between student identity, experience, and wellbeing, particularly in relation to minority student groups. One such group is Students with Caring Responsibilities (SCRs), consisting of both students who are
carers and/or parents (including those students who undertake the role of carer and parent), who it has been suggested have been actively constructed as 'other' in academia (Moreau, 2016) such that their experiences and needs are not well understood. Indeed, HE has been described
as a 'care-less' environment, characterised by competitive individualism within which students are assumed to be unencumbered by the responsibilities of care (Lynch, 2010; Moreau, 2016). This article details findings from a rapid evidence review and online survey of a UK research
project titled Who Cares? funded by SMaRteN (the Student Mental Health Research Network). The project explored the challenges faced by SCRs with a focus on their wellbeing and was shaped by principles of co-design and collaboration and, resisting a deficit model approach, also highlights
the strengths which SCRs bring to their studies and their institution. For universities to become truly inclusive, these strengths should be recognised, and ways found to empower SCRs to reshape the university into a 'care-full', not 'care-less', institution.
Commuting students before and during COVID-19: academic identity across home and campus spaces
Authors: Hill Joanne , Baird Alex , Wesley Kurtis , Tchibonkola Jeremie , Stewart-Psaltis Alex
Published: April 2024

Commuter students are believed to lack academic engagement because they do not `stick around´ on campus, but narratives of student belonging as tied to campus presence were challenged by emergency remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reports on a longitudinal
project on geographical, cultural and emotional dimensions of student practices of learning in an English widening participation university. We use theories of student belonging and mobilities as thinking tools to understand the relationships between students, spaces and learning practices
in constructing fluid understandings of academic identity for commuting and residential students. Between 2016 and 2021, 28 students were interviewed. Geographical and cultural distance from university, but closeness to family or the domestic duties of home, affected commuter student practices
of learning differently before and during emergency remote learning. When distance was enforced, remote learning was not necessarily easier for commuters, who had complex responses to losing social interaction. By rethinking how the benefits of being physically on campus are conceptualised
and communicated, and how commuter identity is shaped by continuing interactions across home, digital, travel and campus spaces, we argue that commuter students′ multiple experiences should inform the post-pandemic university.
