Authors: Xu Xiangru , Yang Sai , Zhang Meng , Wei Wei
Published: December 2024

Soil salinization and alkalization is a key factor limiting the sustainable development of global agriculture. The natural succession of vegetation in saline-alkali soil is an effective method for improving of saline-alkali soil, and microorganisms play an important role in vegetation growth. This study analysed the microbial community structure and diversity of saline-alkali tolerant vegetation rhizosphere soil in northeastern China where natural succession of saline-alkali tolerant vegetation has occurred, using high-throughput sequencing technology. We found that the community structures of bacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms were substantially different with the vegetation natural succession. The bacterial community changed from Actinobacteria-dominated to Proteobacteria-dominated communities. The eukaryotic microorganismal community generally transitioned from alga-dominated (Streptophyta and Ochrophyta) to alga-dominated (Streptophyta and Ochrophyta) and fungi-dominated (Ascomycota) to fungi-dominated (Ascomycota) communities. Based on the difference analysis of microbial community compositions and basic physicochemical properties with the natural succession of vegetation, we found that the bacterial groups that played a key role in the natural succession of the vegetation were Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria and that the eukaryotic microbial groups were Ascomycota, Nematoda, and Streptophyta. The results provide theoretical guidance for microbial inoculation to promote plant succession and improve low-yield saline-alkali soils.
An Examination of the Influence of Soviet Educational Policies on the Evolution of Nationalism in the USSR
Authors: Chen Siyang
Published: December 2024

The role nationalism played in the collapse of the USSR always attracted much heated debate among historians and its importance ranged from irrelevant to contributory. This essay includes not only the importance of nationalism in the fall of the USSR but also the influence of Soviet education on the evolution of nationalism. The essay systematically scrutinizes the educational policies, institutions, and major reforms from 1917 to 1991 and analyzes the effectiveness of education, including history (the major social science subject) and the use of language, in controlling the development of nationalism. The Soviet education was to a large degree failing in controlling the development of nationalist sentiment, because of that the effort to build a transnational proletarian union was upset by the rhetoric of Russian chauvinism and nationalism and volatile policies about the language used in education from Koreniztsiya to Russification sent a warning signal to national minorities in the Soviet Union from Baltic states to Central Asian republics. The nationalism contributed to significant separatism in Georgia and the Baltic states, but its role was insignificant in the deterioration of allegiance to the Union in key republics, such as Ukraine and Russia.

Authors: Hao Zihao
Published: December 2024

The monarch’s personality was a pivotal factor in the dynamic between the king and Parliament from 1603 to 1702, the contributions of many Historians such as John Morrill and Mark Kish Lansky are particularly noteworthy. In the context of 17th century England, where the relationship between the king and Parliament evolved from collaboration to confrontation, this study delves into the role of monarchal personalities. The research focuses on the Stuart monarchs and Oliver Cromwell, examining their personalities as pivotal factors in political decision-making and power struggles. Utilizing historical analysis, the study employs a multidisciplinary approach, considering political, economic, and religious perspectives to assess the influence of personality on political development. The findings reveal that each monarch’s personality significantly impacted parliamentary relations. However, the research concludes that these personalities were shaped by the interaction between the monarch, Parliament, and the populace. The dynamic balance of political power was influenced not only by individual traits but also by a complex interplay of social structure, economic interests, legal traditions, and the international environment.
Challenges of the Current Tax-sharing System in Slovakia
Authors: Vartašová Anna , Štrkolec Miroslav
Published: December 2024

The sharing of state tax revenues with local self-governments is a common practice in most countries, and the Slovak Republic is no exception. However, these systems vary significantly and while some countries apply a wider tax mix, others use just a single shared-tax system. The latter is the case in Slovakia. The paper evaluates, therefore, the appropriateness of using the current single tax (PIT), in terms of income stability, budget foreseeability and income sufficiency, for this purpose, and afterwards, it takes a look at the appropriateness of the single shared-tax system at large. Based on the data, PIT seems to be a smart choice for the Slovak Republic, as it is both income stable and budgetary foreseeable. From the income-sufficiency point of view, PIT is a medium voluminous tax, compared to other state taxes. However, from the local governments’ perspective and with reference to their needs, this tax is simply not enough. Thus, the overall findings support the idea of enlarging the system to a broader tax mix, just like the ones endorsed by most of the neighboring countries.

Authors: Han Mengke
Published: December 2024

Kafka's work presents a strong absurd, nihilistic, and symbolic writing style. As his late novel, "The Castle" recounts the desperate struggle of the little people under the power system, revealing the tragic nature of absurd nothingness. The blind worship of the power system and the discipline of the individual in a totalitarian society doom everything to the dust. Everything is a puppet of abstraction and symbolism. Kafka borrowed "The Castle" to express the absurdity of human paradox. The so-called absurdity, Yunescu believes: "Absurdity refers to the lack of meaning...... Man is cut off from his own religion, from his own metaphysical foundations, from a priori, and all his actions seem meaningless, absurd, and useless. .

Published: December 2024

The elite swimming performance progression is impacted by variable factors such as training advancements, athlete demographics, and physiological traits. A deep understanding of influencing factors and performance trends allows for the development of optimized training strategies and maximizing athletes overall performance. This study conducts a comprehensive investigation into the influence of gender and age on Olympic swimming performance across the 2012 to 2024 Olympic Games, with a detailed analysis of performance trends in various strokes and distances. Data from the top eight finalists in each event were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis, employing t-tests and ANOVA to assess progression patterns and age-related shifts. The findings demonstrate that both female and male swimmers exhibited comparable rates of performance progression over the Olympic cycles, with no statistically significant differences in gender-based performance trends. However, notable exceptions were observed in specific events, such as stagnation in the mens 100m freestyle and womens 200m butterfly during certain periods. The age analysis revealed a general upward trend in the ages of competitors, though younger swimmers were more prevalent in endurance events, while older athletes excelled in sprint disciplines like the 50m freestyle. While the Olympic year did not significantly influence age trends, stroke type and distance were identified as key determinants of age variation among competitors. These results provide nuanced insights into the interaction of gender and age with elite swimming performance, with potential implications for optimizing training protocols and talent development in competitive swimming.
The Effects of Childhood Trauma and Peer Relationships on Well-being
Authors: Du Zehan
Published: December 2024

As more and more people begin to talk about traumatic childhood experiences, the topic has gradually become a hot topic in society. Childhood trauma (CT), which stems from various sources such as family instability, social environments, and personal experiences, can lead to long-term psychological issues that diminish an individual's perception of happiness. Most people believe that CT can affect happiness, and that peer relationships are equally important in an individual's upbringing, and can even affect happiness. This essay explores the complex connections between peer relationships, well-being, and early trauma, with an emphasis on how these interactions affect happiness. Therefore, through the investigation of existing data and literature, the results show that people who have experienced CT are less likely to experience happiness, while people who have positive peer relationships are better able to experience happiness. The results highlight how important peer interactions and CT are to an individual's overall wellbeing. Despite the extensive scope of the available studies, there remains a void in research examining happiness beyond the college years. This research argues that in order to fully comprehend these processes, more comprehensive studies of happiness throughout various life phases are required. All things considered, promoting long-term well-being and happiness requires resolving CT and cultivating strong peer relationships.
Use Food as City Image--Take Luosifen as an Example of City Branding
Authors: Niu Zihong
Published: December 2024

Self-branding has emerged as a prevalent strategy among cities, leveraging food as a critical image enhancer. Cities, particularly in China, promote their food culture to broaden recognition and evoke interest, as food often highly condenses and succinctly expresses the identity, culture, and social customs of a city. Food's ingredients, styles, and tastes are shaped by local natural factors, inadvertently conveying a city's environmental characteristics. It also mirrors residents' life philosophy and regional traits, which is evident in Northeast China's hearty cuisine adapted to cold climates. Globally, food is seen as a carrier of city and culture, as exemplified by France's high-quality cuisine representing national identity. Thus, utilizing food as a city representative is logical. This essay explores Guangxi Province's case, specifically the Luosifen, as an urban food ambassador, analyzing its implementation and feasibility in projecting the city's image.

Authors: Tang Hanyu
Published: December 2024

The movie Barbie offers a nuanced exploration of gender roles, cultural norms, and the impact of idealized imagery on societal perceptions. By juxtaposing the flawless world of Barbieland with the complexities of the real world, the film subverts traditional views on gender and masculinity. Barbie's evolution from a symbol of perfection to a character grappling with her imperfections serves as a metaphor for the pressures women face in conforming to societal expectations. Through characters like Barbie and Gloria, the film underscores the social and psychological toll of these ideals, presenting a sharp critique of patriarchal norms. Moreover, Barbie cleverly challenges gender hierarchies by reversing roles in Barbieland, where women dominate, highlighting the absurdity of gender expectations. Glorias passionate speech and Sashas critique underscore the films call for more nuanced and authentic representations of women. Ultimately, Barbie invites audiences to reflect on societal norms, encouraging them to embrace imperfection, reject rigid gender roles, and work toward a more inclusive and equitable understanding of identity.

Review of Alzheimer's disease and treatments
Authors: Ni Hongzhe
Published: December 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects older adults and is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. The disease is the most common type of dementia worldwide and imposes a significant burden on patients, families and society. More than 50 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer's disease, placing enormous financial strain on healthcare systems and families. The main molecular metabolic pathways of Alzheimer's disease include amyloid beta protein metabolic pathway and tau protein phosphorylation pathway. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta protein in the brain to form plaques, and excessive phosphorylation of tau protein to form neurofibrillary tangles, these pathological changes lead to nerve cell damage and death, resulting in the gradual loss of cognitive function. Current treatments can only slow the progression of the disease or alleviate symptoms and cannot completely cure AD. Finding effective treatment and intervention strategies can not only significantly improve the quality of life of Alzheimer's patients, but also reduce the burden of the disease on society and families. This article will review the background and epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease, discuss its main molecular metabolic pathways in detail, and review the current status of treatment, with a view to providing references for future research and treatment strategies.

Application of Immunotherapy in Brain Cancer Treatment
Authors: Wang Ziqi
Published: December 2024

Brain cancer is a malignant tumor, characterized by abnormal growth of cells in the brain. The high mortality rate and poor prognosis of brain cancer make it become a notable cancer type. Statistics demonstrate that the incidence of brain cancer is still increasing, hence, studies on immunotherapy of brain cancer, one of the most common and vital therapies in treating cancer, becomes important. This review mainly introduces three kinds of immunotherapy, including vaccines, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Even though these treatments share similar basic mechanisms, taking advantage of host immune system, they are different in the way of evoking immune response. Both vaccines and CAR-T utilize the binding between pathogenic substance and immune cell, while the ICIs rely on the release of immune suppression. Most of the immunotherapeutic strategies have shown great efficiency, and the corresponding side effects also exist, which still need to be explored, like the inefficiency caused by the complex tumor microenvironment and the off-target issue risen by the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens. Therefore, novel combinations of different therapies and designs of research may be the new trends of the immunotherapy for brain cancer.

Authors: Huang Chihin
Published: December 2024

With the dairy business across the world increasingly growing, a study of how Europe and the US established their dairy futures markets helps to understand whether they will be viable in China. For both of these regions, there are well-established dairy futures markets that play an important role in price risk management for both producers and buyers. This will help us to anticipate what we might face as challenges or opportunities when we introduce such a market in China. The significance of European and American markets is reflected by the various roles played by dairy futures. It highlights the necessity of strong infrastructure, efficient legal frameworks and regulations, vibrant market participation, and information dissemination that is transparent and efficient. It has been a stabilizing element for transparency in European dairy future markets. Various initiatives introduced by the EU have supported the development, including standardization of contract terms and provision of adequate liquidity. In contrast, the United States has multiple exchanges that trade dairy futures where each exchange trades different kinds of dairy contracts. This variety allows for individualization, but it also hinders uniformity in market operations and limits liquidity. In conclusion, we discuss the significance of developing strong infrastructures, effective legal frameworks, and regulations, encouraging active market participation, as well as ensuring transparency and efficiency in information dissemination. Lastly, through an examination of these European and American experiences coupled with the main ingredients underlying their achievements, we can support China to have a robust dairy industry future market.

The Impact of Intelligent Auditing on Corporate Debt Default Risk Driven by New-Quality Productivity
Authors: Zhang Ruihan
Published: December 2024

The new wave of artificial intelligence (AI) technological revolution is transforming existing industry dynamics and challenging traditional auditing models. Simultaneously, the phenomenon of corporate debt defaults is becoming increasingly severe, making the digital transformation of auditing an urgent necessity. Empowering auditing with new-quality productivity can facilitate a more effective transition to intelligent auditing. This paper, from the novel perspective of new-quality productivity, analyzes the impact of intelligent auditing on corporate debt default risk. Intelligent auditing reduces corporate debt default risk by improving internal control quality, enhancing audit quality, and mitigating resource misallocation. New-quality productivity supports intelligent auditing from three perspectives: technology, talent, and institutions. This paper, to some extent, fills the research gap on the economic consequences of intelligent auditing and provides a reference for enterprises and relevant departments in their digital auditing transformation.

Authors: Cen Ketong
Published: December 2024

In this paper, the Nasdaq 100 Index (ETF) is selected as a representative of the technology sector, and the dominant factors affecting the performance of stock returns in the technology market are explored through data processing and regressions of its monthly returns from 2014 to 2023.In this study, the Nasdaq 100 Index (ETF) is used as a proxy for the technology sector. The study investigates the dominant factors affecting the performance of the technology market stock returns. This study adds 10 extended factors to the Fama-French three-factor model,with the aim of finding the variables which strongly impact on NDX returns. Each factor was tested and screened through multiple time series regression, multiple covariance analysis, and stepwise regression. Finally, the Fama-French two-factor extended model with the largest R-squared value and the strongest explanatory power for NDX returns was constructed. Its independent variables include market returns and premiums, SMB, HML, interest rate changes, and industrial production index changes. Compared to the original Fama-French three-factor model (R-squared 0.871), the reconstructed Fama two-factor extended model has a better fitting which has an R-squared of 0.885, which illustrates the effect of the newly added factors on the technology market stock portfolio and provides an empirical evidence on that the new model is an improvement for the technology market stock portfolio.
Normeilla on ollut keskeinen asema suomalaisessa esteettömyyspolitiikassa
Authors: Koivukoski Anna
Published: December 2024

Esteettömyydessä on pohjimmiltaan kyse ihmisten yhdenvertaisista osallistumismahdollisuuksista yhteiskunnassa sekä ihmisoikeudesta, jonka toteuttamiseen Suomi on sitoutunut kansainvälisissä sopimuksissa. Julkisessa keskustelussa esteettömyyden merkitys on usein hämärtynyt, kun aihetta on käsitelty lähinnä rakennusbyrokratian yhteydessä. Rakennusyhtiöiden näkökulmassa esteettömyys on tyypillisesti näyttäytynyt kaupungin rakentamista ja asumista rajoittavana ongelmana. Tällaisessa keskustelussa on heijastunut ymmärtämättömyys esteettömyyden luonteesta, ja sille on ollut myös tyypillistä keskustelun kohteina olevien ihmisten toiseuttaminen.
Vaikka esteettömyyttä säätelevä normisto on sinänsä Suomessa varsin kattava, jatkuvat vaatimukset norminpurkutalkoista uhkaavat viedä kehitystä taaksepäin. Vaikka – tai oikeastaan koska – esteettömyyden tiellä usein on pikemmin asenteita kuin konkreettisia esteitä, yhteiskunnallisen esteettömyyden toteutumista ei voi luottaa pelkkien asenteiden varaan. Siksi esteettömyyskeskustelussa on myös oltava valppaana käsitekaappausten varalta.
