Study of the Reproduction of Educational Stratification
Authors: Zhao Henry
Published: August 2022

The reproduction of educational stratification, also known as the solidification of social stratification due to the uneven distribution of educational resources, is one of the current social ills. With the help of Bourdieu's educational stratification theory, the logical mechanism of the reproduction of educational stratification is analyzed from the logic of the process before entering the schooling system, during the schooling system, and after leaving the schooling system to provide countermeasures and references for breaking the solidification of educational resources stratification.
Research on innovative design of community micro space in post epidemic Era
Authors: Cao Kai , Shi Tonghui
Published: August 2022

In the case of novel coronavirus pneumonia, the strong spread of the virus caused certain psychological obstacles to outdoor activities. The community micro space is the main space for community residents to exercise and rest. In view of this phenomenon, it provides new methods and new ideas for exploring safe and healthy community interaction space design scheme, and achieves the purpose of controlling crowd aggregation through the division of space functions, so as to meet the needs of residents for the diversity of community space. After the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, it has become a multifaceted health care problem in the world, affecting the health of individuals and communities. In this case, "social distance" has become a major policy to restrict public behavior. This means that independent individuals must keep a proper safe distance from people other than their immediate family members, but cannot keep a distance from their immediate family members. In this context, people's demand for space security and diversity can no longer be satisfied by the traditional community public space. The traditional mode of community public space needs to be updated. This study provides a new method for the design and planning of community micro space, aiming to provide a new idea for the planning of community micro space, strengthen the interaction of community space by using mobile and modular outdoor facilities, ensure the safety of social streets, meet the diversified needs of community residents, create a community environment suitable for living for community residents, and provide a new planning for community residents.
Research on the Legal Regulation Path of Digital Currency Electronic Payment and Its Improvement from Anti-Money Laundering Perspective
Authors: Lv Xi
Published: August 2022

With the rapid development of Internet information payment technology, digital currencies are widely used, and digital currencies with blockchain as the underlying technology can be used as a monetary policy tool to serve national economic policies. Under the principle of adhering to steady development, operational safety and risk control, China has launched digital currency electronic payment with equivalence and legalization with traditional legal currency, featuring controlled anonymity, loose coupling of accounts and support for dual offline payments, which combines the advantages of both physical RMB and electronic payment instruments. However, precisely for this reason, China’s existing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legal system, which mainly regulates and protects traditional currencies, can hardly adapt to the changes of money laundering crimes in the Internet environment in terms of the subject scope, object standards, subjective mentality and behavioral patterns. Taking into account the existing legal norms and the needs of AML regulation of digital currency, money laundering crimes should be incorporated into the section of “obstruction of justice”, the scope of predicate crimes of money laundering crimes should be expanded, the AML obligations of specific non-financial institutions should be improved, and international cooperation should be strengthened, so as to promote the healthy development of China’s digital economy.
Exploring the Reasons for France-India Maritime Security Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific Region under Macron's Government
Authors: Wang Xingyu
Published: August 2022

France and India concluded a bilateral strategic partnership in 1998, and the two countries have long maintained maritime military cooperation. Since Macron came to power, France's "Indo-Pacific Strategy" has been used as a basis to enhance the breadth and depth of maritime security cooperation with India in the Indo-Pacific region, which has the strategic consideration of safeguarding sovereign interests and coping with the complex international situation in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as the purpose of promoting economic exchanges and boosting economic benefits through maritime security cooperation. However, the unpredictable domestic and international situations have brought certain obstacles to the deep development of maritime security cooperation between the two countries, and the prospect of cooperation remains to be seen.
Labor in Thoreau’s Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
Authors: Fang Yan
Published: August 2022

Henry David Thoreau plays a critical role in the development of transcendentalist thought and literature. In Thoreau’s Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, Thoreau reflects upon what labor means. As a parody of Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography, Thoreau expands and negotiates the meaning of labor. Thoreau elaborates the speculative philosophy of intellectual labor and the relationship between work and contemplation, wilderness and civilization. Labor, for Thoreau, has a constant and imperishable moral.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Shift of Banks’ Marketing Preferences: Case of Listed Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh
Authors:   Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, CF10 3EU, UK, Mahbub Dr. Tasmina
Published: August 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the changes in patterns of service delivery worldwide, including banking. Lockdown and restricted physical presence posed formidable disruptions and challenges to the overall banking industry that required them to adopt a sustainable and innovative business model promptly to continue operations and to protect financial stability. In response to this crisis, all banks effectively reset their agenda by incorporating less human-interactive, a digital mechanism where the marketing team of the banks played a pivotal role by shifting their traditional marketing practices to digital techniques. The study examines the effect of this alteration and its implications by undertaking a survey of bank personnel of all the listed Private Commercial Banks (PCBs) in Bangladesh. A non-parametric Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon test identifies strong differences in expectations of marketing formats in the pre-pandemic and present periods. The analysis reveals statistically significant demographic differences of preference between older and younger marketing personnel in all banks; as well as between Islamic and Conventional Banks. The findings are a wake-up call for banks’ policymakers that have multifaceted implications in formulating alternative digital based marketing strategies to continue sustainability and to remain competitive in the long run.
Role and mechanism of miR-548-3p/DAG1 in the occurrence and malignant transformation of laryngeal carcinoma.
Authors: Chen Jia , Lin Yu , Wen Ke , Huang Shi , Hou Nan , Wang Ling , Wang Yi
Published: August 2022

The AMC-HN-8 cell line and the primary human laryngeal epi-thelial cell lines were utilized in this work to explore the molecular mecha-nism of miR-548-3p regulating the gene DAG1 to induce the occurrence and malignant transformation of laryngeal carcinoma. Non-coding RNA miR-548-3p overexpression plasmid, interference plasmid and blank plasmid were con-structed, and the plasmids were transfected into AMC-HN-8 cells, respectively. Meanwhile, a non-transfected plasmid group and a human laryngeal epithelial primary cell group were set up. Five groups of cells were named as NC (Nor-mal control), Model, Ov-miR-548-3p, Sh-miR-548-3p and Blank-plasmid group. The luciferase reporter experiment was used to analyze the regulation charac-teristics of hsa-miR-548-3p on dystrophin-associated glycoprotein 1 (DAG1). Immunofluorescence was used to analyze the relative expression characteris-tics of the protein DAG1. The cell cloning experiment was used to analyze the proliferation characteristics of AMC-HN-8. The scratch healing test was used to analyze the migration ability of AMC-HN-8. The transwell test was used to analyze the invasion ability of AMC-HN-8. The RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression level of miR-548-3p. Western blot experiments were used to analyze the expression of protein DAG1, laminin α2 (LAMA2) and utrophin (UTRN). The luciferase report experiment and immunofluorescence test found that the expression of DAG1 and miR-548-3p are positively correlated. Cell cloning, scratching and migration experiments identified that the activity of laryngeal cancer cells was positively correlated with the expression of DAG1. The results of Western blot analysis further strengthened the above conclusions. Through carrying out research on the cellular levels, our work has demonstrated that miR-548-3p regulated the content of protein DAG1, and then further induced malignant transformation of laryngeal carcinoma.

Authors: Ross James , Hickling Duane , Maciejewski Conrad , Coriaty Rhea , Vigil Humberto
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to conduct a survey of intravesical botulinum toxin administration practices in Canada, to compare practices based on level of training, and to identify barriers to delivery.
Methods: A voluntary online survey was sent to all members of the Canadian Urology Association. Respondents who provide intravesical botulinum toxin were questioned on training, surgical volume, workup, technique, and followup practices. Those with formal training in functional urology were compared to those without. Barriers to treatment delivery were identified.
Results: The overall response rate was 26% (148/570). Most providers (59%) perform one to 10 treatments/month. Preoperatively, 51% perform cystoscopy and 43% perform urodynamics. A majority (66%) give routine antimicrobial prophylaxis; however, regimen and duration varied. Most (79%) perform some treatments under local anaesthetic, and 66% instill lidocaine solution for analgesia. There was a wide variation in technique with regards to the number of injections administered (range <10 to >20), volume administered per injection (range 0.5 mL to 2 mL), location of injections (bladder body vs. trigone vs. both), and depth of injection. Postoperative followup ranged from three days to three months. Respondents with fellowship training in functional/reconstructive urology performed more treatments per month and administered fewer injections per treatment. Common barriers to delivery included lack of experience/training among non-providers (45%), lack of resources (34%), and lack of medication funding (32%).
Conclusions: Despite intravesical botulinum toxin being a widely accepted treatment, significant variability in practices and several barriers to delivery exist in Canada. Further study is required to optimize treatment access and quality.

The purpose of this study is to describe the methods of monitoring the level of students’ physics research competencies. The main task is to show the possibilities of electronic grade book using for determination the level of students’ physics research competencies. The object of study is the tools of monitoring and evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies. The subject of study is the using of cloud technologies for monitoring and evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies.In previous studies it was shown that the system of students’ physics research competencies contains 14 competencies of 3 stages of research. Each competence consists of 4 components: cognitive, praxeological, axiological, social and behavioral. Moreover, each component of each competency has different impact on the level of students’ physics research competencies. Thus, the evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies requires the measurement of the levels of 56 components.This process is pretty time-consuming, but all mathematical operations that are needed for it, are typical. So, the monitoring of the level of students’ physics research competencies can be automated. It is proposed to use cloud-based spreadsheets for creating the electronic grade book for monitoring the level of students’ physics research competencies.
Evolution of Our Times: Developing Democratic Identities in Hong Kong and Taiwan
Authors: Chong Ja Ian , Pan Hsin-Hsin
Published: August 2022

Two trends have become increasingly apparent from public opinion polls in Taiwan and Hong Kong over the past decade. One is a growing identification with and confidence in being exclusively Taiwanese or Hong Konger. The other is increasing public support for democracy. Existing research
investigates the association between local identity and democracy, but does not address the meanings people in Taiwan and Hong Kong ascribe to their identities. This limits a fuller understanding of the relationships and driving forces between and behind these trends. One interpretation is
that demands for greater democracy mask growing nativism, even xenophobia. An alternative one is that heightened local identification reflects aspirations for greater political participation and restraint on executive authority in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Using discourse analysis collected through
the Making Identities Count in Asia project, alongside polling data, we submit that elite and mass discourse reveal an integration of democratic expectations with local identity and its broadening appeal in Taiwan and Hong Kong. People in these two societies take principles associated with
democracy to be closely tied to their sense of identification and locality. Such ideas do not eschew the value of tradition rooted in local experiences and can outweigh economic growth. However, Hong Kongers and Taiwanese have come to identify substantively more with democracy than the exceptionalism
implied in "localism," "Asian values," or some form of nativism. PRC attempts to appeal to local concerns in Taiwan and Hong Kong need to grapple with either meaningful respect for democratic aspirations or e ectively repressing them. PRC insistence on the erasure of such values will likely
result in continued tensions with Taiwan and Hong Kong, and include mass resistance and the need for force, even violence.

Published: August 2022

Objective To compare the biomechanical properties of the glenohumeral joint capsule between adhesive capsulitis (AC) after breast cancer surgery and idiopathic AC and demonstrate the effects of hydrodilatation (HD) with corticosteroid injection for AC after breast cancer surgery.Methods Twenty-three prospective patients with AC after breast cancer surgery (BC group) and 44 retrospective patients with idiopathic AC without breast cancer (CON group) underwent HD with corticosteroid injection and home exercise training. We compared their biomechanical characteristics (capsular capacity, maximal pressure, and capsular stiffness). In the BC group, the passive range of motion (ROM) of the affected shoulder and a questionnaire (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [SPADI]) were evaluated at baseline and 2 and 4 weeks after treatment.Results The BC group showed higher biomechanical characteristics (maximal pressure and capsular stiffness) than did the CON group. The mean maximal pressure and capsular stiffness were 519.67±120.90 mmHg and 19.69±10.58 mmHg/mL in the BC group and 424.78±104.42 mmHg and 11.55±7.77 mmHg/mL in the CON group (p=0.002 and p=0.001, respectively). And, the BC group showed significant improvements in all ROMs (abduction, flexion, and external rotation) and the SPADI pain and disability sub-scores following the treatment.Conclusion The glenohumeral joint capsular stiffness was greater in the patients with AC after breast cancer surgery than in those with idiopathic AC. HD with corticosteroid injection was effective in treating AC after breast cancer surgery.

Strategi Negosiasi pada Perjanjian Hudaibiyah dalam Perspektif Analisis Pentad
Authors: Wahyudiyanto Dhanny
Published: August 2022

Konflik harus ditangani dengan baik agar tidak destruktif bagi organisasi dakwah. Salah satu penanganan konflik di antaranya adalah dengan negosiasi. Salah satu negosiasi yang cukup fenomenal dalam sejarah Islam adalah negosiasi yang dilakukan nabi dengan pihak Quraisy dalam dengan perjanjian Hudaibiyah. Di perjanjian itu, nabi terkesan sangat akomodatif dan mengalah terhadap pihak Quraisy. Bahkan beberapa sahabat sempat kecewa atas pokok perjanjian yang disepakati oleh nabi. Namun di luar dugaan, implikasi dari perjanjian itu, justru bernilai positif bagi perkembangan Islam. Bagaimana strategi negosiasi yang dilakukan Nabi dalam perjanjian tersebut bisa menjadi pembelajaran bagi manajer/aktivis dakwah apabila nantinya mereka dihadapkan pada konflik dan mengharuskan mereka melakukan negosiasi. Strategi negosiasi yang dilakukan Nabi di tulisan ini akan diuraikan melalui teori dramatisme yang dikonseptualisasikan Kenneth Burke. Tulisan yang menggunakan metode pentad analysis ini menemukan bahwa upaya negosiasi yang dilakukan Nabi melalui perjanjian Hudaibiyah mengarah pada tujuan untuk memfokuskan agenda dakwah Islam secara damai, serta mengambil kesempatan untuk meminimalisir ancaman serangan pada dua sisi kota Madinah dalam satu waktu.

Arabic-English Code-Switching in the Saudi Video Gaming Community: A Sociolinguistic Perspective
Authors: AlBathi Farah Sulaiman
Published: August 2022

In this sociolinguistics paper, I discuss code-switching behaviour while playing an online video game. The purpose of the study is to bridge the knowledge gap in the literature regarding code-switching within the Saudi Arabian gaming community. Although a significant amount of research has been carried out on the topic of code-switching, the phenomenon of code-switching among online gamers has received little attention. The focus of this research is Saudi online gamers playing online video games, specifically Overwatch (a team-based online multiplayer game). The research questions investigated how the game format (casual or ranked) and the age of the players influence the occurrence of code-switching. Data collection was based on a quantitative approach and participating in Overwatch matches. Observing the presence of players and their frequency of code-switching allowed for the creation of objective data. The findings indicate that both the format of Overwatch matches and the age of the players had an impact on code-switching. Matches that took place in an intense setting (ranked matches) had more instances of code-switching than those in a casual setting. The results show that the age of the players affected code-switching because younger players were less likely to code-switch than older players were. The research illuminates the ways in which individuals who are part of Saudi Arabia’s gaming community interact with one another and sheds light on the online settings in which code-switching is most prevalent. Future studies should investigate other video game genres to broaden the understanding of the phenomenon of code-switching in online video games.

Preparing detailed morphological features of fossil brittle stars (Ophiuroidea, Echinodermata) for scanning electron microscopy using a combination of mechanical preparation techniques
Authors: Graham M. R. , Ewin T. A. M.
Published: August 2022

The comprehensive taxonomic study of fossil brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) requires the plates of the disk and arms to be cleared of matrix as fully as possible to reveal significant characters, such as spine articulations, ornament and clear plate boundaries. However, this needs to be done delicately, as the plate surfaces and boundaries are fragile and easily obliterated when only using air abrasive techniques. Ophiuroid fossils are frequently over-prepared, which becomes apparent particularly when examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hampering taxonomic studies. Preparation may be further complicated by the entanglement of the arms of multiple individuals. In order to facilitate detailed SEM analysis of recently available, undescribed fossil ophiuroid material from the Aptian, Lower Cretaceous, Atherfield Clay Formation of the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, UK a combination of careful mechanical preparation techniques was employed to great effect. Specimens were initially exposed using standard air abrasive techniques, but the final few millimetres of matrix were removed using pins. To get individual arm pieces exceptionally clear of matrix, they were removed from the blocks using a mini pedestalling technique and then further cleaned using an ultrasonic pen. This combination of techniques fully exposed all the elements required for full taxonomic study without causing severe damage to the plate surfaces and greatly improved the overall aesthetic of the specimens. These techniques could be more widely applied in fossil preparation.
