Comparison of the Chinese and Hungarian Education Systems
Authors: Yang Xi
Published: April 2024

As countries strive to develop competitive, knowledge-based economies, they face the challenges of a rapidly changing global landscape. Understanding the fundamental and different aspects of education systems is of great importance. This paper compares the Chinese and Hungarian higher education systems from the following four main elements: (1) administrative divisions; (2) school systems; (3) educational assessments; (4) challenges in HE. Given that every education system is deeply intertwined with a distinct cultural and social context that shapes its organization and functioning, it is imperative for academics to examine these intricacies when conducting cross-national comparisons carefully. Prior research has exclusively focused on higher education in China and Hungary separately, without comparing the two. Therefore, to understand the factors influencing higher education in Hungary and China, the researcher is prepared to provide valuable insights and more data analysis into the complexities of global education.

The research underscores the necessity for higher educational institutions to promote language development and intercultural competence, fostering an inclusive social environment for international students. Through this paper, the author aim to shed light on the complexities of social networking among Chinese international students, offering insights to enhance multicultural understanding and inclusion in academic settings.
The Effects of Musical Arousal on Adolescence Long-term Memory
Authors: Chen Sitong
Published: April 2024

To examine the effects of different music genres on adolescents' long-term memory. Thirty participants were recruited to take part in the study. First, they were given a list of random letter combinations to memorize while listening to a soothing song or fast-paced rap music. After learning for five minutes, they were given some randomly generated arithmetic questions to complete within two minutes. Then, they did a recognition test on the previously memorized words. Results show that the memory-recalling abilities of the participants while listening to rap or soft music are significantly different. Most participants scored higher in tests with soft music than with rap music. The researcher conclude that it would be beneficial for students to do memorization tasks with relaxing background music because soft music could facilitate the process of information encoding and keep them motivated to study for longer, reducing their stress and anxiety. Students should avoid listening to music with a fast, rhythmic beat while memorizing since this type of music appears distractive. Future research could be conducted with a larger sample size.

Application of Gamification Teaching in Primary School
Authors: Gao Zhuofan
Published: April 2024

As IT develops rapidly and the nation attaches great importance to education, it is difficult for the original teaching methods to meet the requirements of current curriculum standards. Learning knowledge in a game-based way stimulates students' curiosity and desire to explore and enhances students' initiative in learning. It can effectively cultivate innovative ideas and deepen students' understanding of knowledge. The gamification strategy can not only make the classroom active but also improve the quality of teaching. However, there is no natural integration of gamification teaching in China. From the teachers' perspective, some school teachers are relatively old and do not know how to operate electronic equipment, and there is no professional training. In addition, integrating games and teaching naturally is also challenging from the perspective of software applications. This paper studies how to apply the gamification teaching method to the classroom based on the requirements of the new curriculum standard, analyzes the impact of the gamification teaching method on students, and the problems and solutions encountered in the application process.

Sustainable Consumption and Social Justice: Should Countries Take Action to Ban the Sale of Products Made under Sweatshop Conditions?
Authors: Zeng Ni
Published: April 2024

This paper investigates the subject of sweatshop labour and the debate over whether countries should prohibit the sale of products produced under such conditions. The introduction emphasises the importance of better working conditions and minimal standards in sweatshop factories, while also admitting that customers may be ready to pay slightly higher costs to support better working circumstances for sweatshop workers. However, economists say that sweatshop labour is preferable than not working or working for extremely low wages, and that a blanket ban on sweatshop products could result in job losses and other negative repercussions. The literature study explores a range of viewpoints on sweatshop labour, including moral and financial grounds. Additionally, it highlights how consumer movements and market pressure influence businesses to improve working conditions. The paper also emphasises the issue's complexity and the need for a fair policy that considers employees' rights and practical factors. To improve the working circumstances of sweatshop workers, a multi-pronged strategy is recommended. This method includes consumer pressure, government regulation, and voluntary codes of conduct. The importance of striking a compromise that takes into account differing points of view and deals with the complexities of the sweatshop labour issue is emphasised in the conclusion. Overall, the study provides a thorough assessment of the subject, emphasising the necessity for ethical manufacturing processes and improved working conditions while taking into account economic ramifications and unexpected consequences.

Sustainable Urban Planning and Climate Change Adaptation: Disaster Protection Strategies for Global Urban Development
Authors: Yin Ziying
Published: April 2024

Urban and rural differentiation emerged since the start of industrial development of human societies. With the need of large amount of human capital to adapt to mass production, rapid urbanization, as a natural course, changed the nature of human lifestyle permanently. Unintended consequences appear along this process of significant economic growth and prosperity, with climate change, which is due to carbon emission, as one of the most prominent problems. Climate change brings various disasters, with typhoons, floods, and wildfires as to name a few. Transition to urban lifestyles, without the realization of sustainability, is one of the primary issues nowadays. This paper discusses the process of urbanization and the usage of crude oils as an automatic method to fuel the cities, and their relations with climate change. It then proposes important criteria to follow for sustainable urban constructions and strategies for disaster prevention.
Decline and Revival: Liberal Party and Liberalism
Authors: Zhang Sitong , Yu Yaqi , Yang Huizi
Published: April 2024

Among the many political parties influenced by liberalism, the British Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats are two typical examples of a lineage. In 1906, the Liberal Party won the general election with an absolute majority of the vote, which marked the culmination of the Liberal Party's development. During the following several decades, with the development of British society and politics and the blow of World War I, the Liberal Party gradually lost its political niche in party competition. After World War II, the Liberal Party, led by Thorpe, worked hard to regain its footing. On this basis, this paper focuses on two main questions. What caused the demise of British Liberal Party after the First World War and how did the merger with Social Democratic Party accelerate the revival of the Liberal Party. Using the methodological approach of literature review, this paper will analyse the decline and revival of the Liberals, combining the perspectives of political science and history. It is argued that the decline of British Liberal Party should be attributed to the changing ideology, the rise of Labour as well as the catalysis of World War I. As for the revival of Liberal Party, it is stressed that its merger with Social Democrats in 1988 has been significant in facilitating its vote-winning and transition to parliamentary strength.
On the Epistemology of Freire's Pedagogy
Authors: Yang Tian
Published: April 2024

This paper serves as an analysis of Freires pedagogy from a philosophical perspective, illustrating how knowledge is acquired in pedagogy and relating pedagogy back to its philosophical sources. This paper is structured into four sessions: 1. an overview of Freires pedagogy; 2. an epistemological analysis on pedagogy; 3. Freires epistemological materialism; 4. the philosophical source of Freires pedagogy. The first session is a brief introduction to pedagogy, clarifying what problems pedagogy is trying to solve and how pedagogy addresses these problems. The second session fits pedagogy into a broader philosophical context, explaining how it is possible to acquire knowledge within pedagogy and what type of knowledge is acquired. A division of knowing how and knowing that is introduced in this session, ending with the conclusion that knowing how is more emphasized in pedagogy and that knowledge in Freires view, has a broader meaning than merely accumulating facts. The last two sessions focus on where pedagogy is derived from and how this context determines pedagogys framework and limitations. This session demonstrates that dialectical materialism and Marx are inevitable when discussing Freires pedagogy, displaying how important concepts in pedagogy arise from dialectical materialism and Marx, and figuring out where pedagogy goes beyond these philosophical backgrounds.

Authors: Ding Haifeng
Published: April 2024

The growing trend of Chinese students opting for international education has highlighted the discernible disparities between mathematics teaching in traditional Chinese schools and their international counterparts. While the variations in teaching methods have been extensively studied, there exists a dearth of information regarding the fundamental objectives that drive educators within these two distinct systems. Consequently, to scrutinize and contrast the teaching goals of Chinese high school mathematics teachers within the traditional Chinese education system and those operating within the international education framework, researchers will undertake a qualitative, semi-structured interview approach. In this method, carefully selected participants will be engaged purposefully to provide insights into their teaching experiences and the core objectives that underpin their pedagogical practices. By delving into the motivations and intentions of these educators, this study aims to shed light on the nuanced differences in the educational goals and aspirations of mathematics teachers in these divergent educational contexts.

Authors: Gao Junyan
Published: April 2024

As a special group of education objects, Chinese teachers' children are affected by the professional characteristics and ideas of their parents, and generally face greater psychological pressure. Their construction of positive psychological quality is relatively insufficient. The concept of horticultural therapy and experiential practical activities provide a new way to shape the positive psychological quality of Chinese teachers' children. It is particularly necessary to apply horticultural therapy to the children of Chinese teachers to improve their mental health. The combination of horticulture and mental health education of Chinese teachers' children helps to shape the positive and optimistic mentality of teachers' children, and helps to improve the communication ability and learning enthusiasm of teachers' children, which is of great value in shaping the positive psychological quality of Chinese teachers' children.
South Africa: Wealth Gap, Employment Imbalance, and Education Inequality in South Africa
Authors: Xu Sibo , Liu Yizun
Published: April 2024

This study uses changes in education and work between men and women to estimate the impact of gender inequality on the wealth gap in South Africa. Although the low enrollment rate of males in primary education continues to occur, social factors of gender inequality led to higher graduation rates and unemployment rates for females than for males, even though they have higher enrollment rates. These findings prove that gender inequality in society leads to job and income imbalances. for this paper, the innovation lies in the logical analysis of the three factors together, rather than the research on the influence of one element. Interestingly, even with the promotion of women's rights in South African society, gender bias has been affecting people's behaviour and subconsciousness at work, making people ignore that South African women have higher learning and skilled workability, which can improve the social economy more than men.

Role of Special Economic Zones Policy in Increasing Azerbaijan’s Economic Development
Authors: Najafzada Yusif
Published: April 2024

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have become a significant feature of global economies, providing incentives for investment, and specifically examines the case of SEZs in Azerbaijan, focusing on government involvement in their development fostering mass production, boosting exports, and addressing unemployment. This article delves into the landscape of SEZs globally. Utilizing data collection and literature review methods, the research evaluates the performance and characteristics of Azerbaijani SEZs.The findings reveal that while Azerbaijani SEZs have shown growth, they have not fully realized their potential. Factors such as legislative reforms, government participation, and the nature of incentives offered have influenced their success. SEZs with foreign investment and strategic planning, such as the Sumgait Chemical-Industrial Park and Hajiqabul Industrial Estate, have fared better than others. However, some SEZs have struggled due to domestic market dynamics and short-term business strategies.  To enhance the role of SEZs in the economy, the article proposes several strategies for the Azerbaijani government. Firstly, a shift in the SEZ strategy from mere stimulus areas to revenue-generating enterprises is recommended to ensure a steady income stream for the government and foster competitiveness. Secondly, exploring joint ventures in SEZ development, either through public-private or public-public partnerships, could attract diverse investment sources and alleviate financial burdens on the government. Lastly, restructuring SEZ legislation to offer long-term incentives and cater to the needs of larger corporations is advised, making SEZs more attractive for sustained investment and contributing to sector-specific development goals.

This paper argues that Baluch insurgents were previously hiding in Afghanistan and unstable Afghan territory was used against Pakistan by the enemies to exacerbate of Baluch insurgency and escalate terrorism to destabilize Pakistan. This study also argues that the New Taliban Government in Afghanistan has an amalgamation of encouraging and detrimental outcomes for Pakistan as supporting the Afghan Taliban government has visible impacts on regional politics and the dynamics of Pakistan’s relations with the United States, Iran, and with regional powers, Russia, and China.

By analyzing, as an example, a thin elastic elongated plate, initially loaded in two directions: compressed along supersonic the gas flow and stretched in the perpendicular direction, we study the influence of the initial stress state of the plate on the stability of the unperturbed equilibrium state of the dynamical system “plate – flow” under the assumption of presence of concentrated inertial masses and moments on its free edge. An analytical solution of the problem of stability is obtained. An accurate assessment of the influence of initially loading forces on the stability of the system is given.

Research on the influence of Internet technology popularization on the green development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Authors: Yin Xin , Cheng Li
Published: April 2024

Based on the panel data from 2000 to 2018, the super efficiency SBM-DEA model is used to calculate the agricultural green development efficiency of 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River economic belt, and then the Tobit econometric model is used to empirically test the impact of Internet technology popularization on the agricultural green development of the Yangtze River economic belt. The results show that: (1) on the whole, the efficiency of agricultural green development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt showed a downward trend in fluctuations from 2000 to 2018; in terms of regions, the efficiency of agricultural green development in various regions of the Yangtze River Economic Belt varies greatly, showing a spatial pattern of “downstream > upstream > midstream”. (2) The popularization of Internet technology has significantly promoted the green development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt; at the same time, there is a significant positive correlation between rural human capital and the green development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, while the level of agricultural mechanization, the degree of capital deepening, the level of urbanization, and agricultural economic growth inhibit the improvement of the green development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt to a certain extent. Therefore, the local governments of the Yangtze River Economic Belt should actively promote the popularization of Internet technology, enhance the Internet awareness of farmers, and give better play to the enabling role of Internet technology in the green development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Article: Echostar-7: The US Imposes First-Ever Fine for Failure to Comply with Deorbiting Plan
Authors: Johnson Christopher D. , Masson-Zwaan Tanja
Published: April 2024

The October 2023 enforcement decision by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) signifies a historical benchmark in the enforcement of space sustainability measures over private commercial space actors. Echostar-7, a commercial satellite launched in 2002 and operating at the Earth’s Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), provided direct broadcast telecommunications services to the US consumer market. Its operator, DISH Operating LLC failed to properly boost the spacecraft to a disposal ‘graveyard’ orbit above GEO as required as part of its governmental licence. An investigation by the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau resulted in a Consent Decree with Dish, whereby Dish accepted liability, agreed to pay a penalty fine of 150,000 USD, and agreed to submit and adhere to a compliance plan regarding the proper disposal of the Echostar-7 spacecraft.

Article: EU Document Registers: Empirical Gaps Limiting the Right of Access to Documents in Europe
Authors: Haller Matthias , Rosani Domenico
Published: April 2024

This article examines the instrument of document registers as a pivotal medium for ensuring the right of access to EU documents and public accountability. While the general right of access to documents has been extensively analysed, document registers and especially their practice are still under-examined. This article specifically focuses on the registers of the Parliament, the Council and the Commission, highlighting two striking gaps. The first gap exists between the strict rules of the Access Regulation and the softer rules of the institutions, the second between what is provided on the abstract level by these rules and the practical level. As shown by an empirical study of the user-friendliness, completeness and proactivity of the registers, their current design and limited content severely limit people’s right of access. In light of these shortcomings, this article recommends different practical approaches to increase the effectiveness of document registers. This would significantly improve the actual implementation of the right of public access to documents, while at the same time reducing the administrative burden on EU public institutions.
