In terms of motivation, intrinsic motivation is low, while the extrinsic and instrumental motivation are relatively high. It presents a characteristic of ought-to L2 self. The higher the proportion of instrumental motivation accounts the total motivation, the lower the initiative for English learning. English learning initiative is also influenced by the degree of dispersion of motivation proportion.The more average the motivation types, the higher the initiative. Both educators and art and sports students need to work together to enhance students ideal L2 self motivation for English learning, and thus raise their initiative for English learning.
A Review of Research on Factors Influencing Chinese College Students Surrogate Online Health Information Seeking
Authors: Zhang Zheng
Published: December 2023

Despite the rapid growth of online medical care, the middle-aged and elderly face a significant digital divide due to low media literacy. They require assistance from the younger generation to navigate online medical information. College students are a unique group in this process. They possess strong media abilities and enough time for digital feedback, making surrogate online health information seeking normal. Chinese researchers have conducted in-depth studies on the factors influencing college students alternative searches for health information. This paper will provide an overview of these studies. The paper summarizes the factors influencing surrogate searches by analyzing what Chinese researchers have adopted. According to the study, three dimensions have been identified. These dimensions include health worries, intrinsic drive value, and the relationship between patients and health providers. It is vital to consider these dimensions when evaluating healthcare experiences and outcomes. However, existing research in China mainly focuses on rural college students, and few studies have examined urban college students. This paper conjectures that media competence does not play the primary role in the surrogate online health information seeking of urban college students and proposes a model for further study.

Authors: Cao Ying
Published: December 2023

The difficulties that rural teachers face in China are complicated and varied. Not only do these teachers face minimal educational resources, but they also face low pay and a sense of isolation. However, underlying these quandaries is a great lot of societal duty. This study uses the literature review method to show the issues that teachers confront and provide solutions. First, the government can decrease turnover and address their fundamental requirements by boosting teachers wages. Second, the government can deepen rural curriculum reforms to allow teachers to design content better and increase student participation. Finally, more extraordinary psychological support services from all sectors of society for rural teachers can help improve teacher productivity and mental health. In conclusion, by stressing rural education and giving essential support to rural teachers, the government may increase the quality of rural education and the development of rural areas. More importantly, boosting rural education is a critical step toward achieving equality in education between urban and rural areas.
Education Problems That Autistic Children Faced in Integrated Education and the Way to Improve
Authors: Gao Yingning
Published: December 2023

There are about 2 million children with autism in China, however, most of them are not able to receive appropriate education because of various factors, such as autism symptoms that diminish the quality of their learning. In this paper, this paper aim to figure out what teachers attitudes and knowledge are toward autistic children? what dilemmas will autistic children face in their growth and how they deal with them? how can people better help autistic children get engaged in society and express themselves? Through the questionnaire, I concluded that the teachers lack of knowledge about autism and their low exposure to autistic children led to a lack of theoretical and operational knowledge, which led to a shallow and optimistic perception of integrated education. The case study revealed that children with autism face difficulties in socialization and learning, and that many children with autism need a long process to adapt to integrated education. In terms of how to help children with autism adapt to integrated education, schools can adopt a flexible program that is designed to meet the characteristics of each child with autism, primarily through art, music, and sensory modifications.

Implementation of the EU's CBAM under the WTO Rules: Process, Relations, Responses
Authors: Zhao Haoyu
Published: December 2023

The European Union (EU), a global leader in carbon reduction measures, formally adopted its proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in April 2023. However, it may not comply with existing WTO rules due to its design flaw. Thus, it may be viewed as a new trade barrier, which may result serious legal issues and trade disputes regarding the compatibility of CBAM with the trade rules of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) under the World Trade Organization (WTO). In practice, however, the adoption and implement of CBAM has not been prevented by these conflicts. Therefore, this article attempts to explore this contradiction and evaluate the impact of CBAM on WTO rules. Eventually, this article concludes that CBAM as an attempt to put forward environmentally friendly trade rules may promote updating WTO rules under international consensus of carbon reduction. The focus of this article will be discussed by providing a systematic review of the process and content of CBAM, examining the relationship between the CBAM and WTO rules and analysing the responses to CBAM of other countries.
Regional Identity and Football Fandom in Jiangsu Province: A Study of Inter-City Alienation and Provincial Identification
Authors: Wang Haowei
Published: December 2023

This study delves into the socio-cultural dynamics of regional identity and football fandom in Jiangsu Province, China. It investigates the lack of provincial identification among residents and their alienation from other cities within the province, as well as the interplay between this distinctive phenomenon of territorial identification and the football support base of football clubs in Jiangsu Province. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilized in-depth interviews and participant observation to gather comprehensive data. The study reveals that that regional identity largely determines how well fans support different teams, and football fandom significantly shapes regional identities as well. Interestingly, the sense of regional identity behind a club like Jiangsu Suning FC, which is named after a province, is quite different from those other clubs that are named after a particular city. The rituals and practices associated with supporting these teams create a shared identity among fans, reinforcing their unique regional identity. This study contributes to understanding the complex dynamics of regional identity, inter-city relations, and the role of sports in shaping these dynamics in contemporary China.
A Study on the Utilization of Protest Memes by Chinese University Students
Authors: Huang Ruobing
Published: December 2023

Social media has gradually taken over the lives of young people in the Z-era. With the birth of memes, offline communication is not a necessary mode of communication. It has attracted the attention of experts in a variety of fields. They investigated the spread of memes, language and social communication, and the privacy crisis. There is, however, a gap in the causes and effects of protest memes that are popular among youth groups. Thus, the topic of this paper is the origin of protest memes in social media and their impact. According to the questionnaire on the utilization of protest memes in social media among Chinese university students, the study will collect data from the questions they filled in on the causes and effects of protest memes and psychological situations. Therefore, the percentage analysis is the basis of this study. According to the results, most young people use protest memes because of anxiety or dissatisfaction in school and life, which cannot be vented in reality. Also, there are two sides of protest memes. On the one hand, they meet the emotional catharsis needs of young people and the development of industrial chains at the economic level. On the other hand, they can mislead youth groups about their values and violate the rights of certain peoples images.

With the arrival of people from different regions with different cultural origins and religious beliefs, some social problems have arisen while constantly exploring new living Spaces. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the social identity of American immigrants and the identity dilemma between generations of immigrants, this paper adopts the literature research method and finds that from the initial entry verification to voucher entry, either way, will bring the experience of belonging to American immigrants. Differences and even contradictions between groups caused by racial differences and cultural barriers are everywhere in society, and even new immigrants will produce huge contradictions due to differences in identity and cultural identity. Only by grasping their own identity and sticking to their own Tao in mother culture and immigrant culture can they avoid the end of duckweed in chaotic times.
Research on the Boundaries of Finding Directors Fault in the Tort of Misrepresentation
Authors: Wu Xiaoqing
Published: December 2023

The Chinese Security Law adopts the principle of presumption of fault for the determination of directors joint and several liability in disputes over liability for misrepresentation, but due to the ambiguity of the standard of fault in the legislation, as well as the influence of the prior procedure requirement of administrative and criminal punishment in the past, the judicial practice often lacks effective argumentation for the determination of directors fault. Trial authorities often directly find directors at fault based on existing administrative or criminal penalties or the lack of the standard of duty of care. The Peoples Court should not be bound by administrative or criminal liability and should conduct an independent review of civil liability. It is necessary to differentiate the subjective mentality of directors and make specific judgments on whether the director with a negligence mentality has violated the duty of care on the basis of statutory law. And courts should not equate the duty of due diligence with the duty of care, but should make a comprehensive judgment according to the directors professional background and specific job contents. On the basis of recognizing the reasonable reliance of directors and extending the subject matter of exemptions from liability to all directors, the boundaries of the determination of the directors fault shall be determined, and a fair and accurate decision shall be made of the elements of fault in the liability of directors.
The Influence of Feminist Ideology on the Awakening of Women's Awareness of Equal Rights in East Asia: A Comparative Scope with China and South Korea
Authors: Huang Xuanya , Liu Zijian
Published: December 2023

In the preceding three decades, South Korea has shown intermittent advancements in the pursuit of gender equality, as seen by the enactment of legislation and implementation of policies in 2006 aimed at safeguarding women's rights, including the adoption of affirmative action measures. The Law for the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests in China, enacted in 2023, tries to establish parity between genders across all domains, thus safeguarding equitable rights for both men and women. Both South Korea and China have implemented legislative measures and social activities in order to advance gender equality. However, despite these efforts, both nations continue to face challenges in this regard. Gender disparity in the workplace is influenced by a multitude of factors, including deeply ingrained ideas, historical context, societal pressures, and instances of discrimination. These difficulties need the implementation of a comprehensive methodology to study. The research posits that the enactment of laws in itself will not be enough to eradicate deeply ingrained beliefs about male dominance.

Authors: Chen Lulei
Published: December 2023

This paper delves into the multifaceted landscape of international student exchanges, illuminating their transformative power on identity formation, psychological resilience, cross-cultural competencies, and professional growth. Against a backdrop of increasing globalization, the education landscape has witnessed a surge in students seeking opportunities abroad. Drawing upon the intergroup contact theory, this essay explores how these educational voyages stimulate shifts in students identities as they navigate the cultural kaleidoscope, incorporating new values while preserving their traditional roots. Psychological challenges encountered during exchanges, including acculturative stress, pandemic-induced stress amplification, and academic hurdles, become crucibles for resilience and adaptation. The synergy between psychological factors and institutional support mechanisms highlights the potential for growth amid adversity. A central theme emerges, emphasizing the acquisition of global perspectives and cross-cultural communication skills as foundational pillars of students personal and professional evolution. In an era characterized by interconnected economies, these competencies offer graduates a competitive edge in the global job market, underscoring their significance in shaping future career trajectories. In conclusion, international student exchanges transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, fostering a global community of agile, culturally sensitive, and resilient individuals. While the scope of this exploration acknowledges inherent limitations, it mirrors the boundless potential of those who embark on the transformative journey of international exchanges, poised to shape a future marked by profound understanding and interconnectedness.

Exploring Telehealth ABA Therapy During the COVID-19 Pandemic for Children with Autism
Authors: Li Jierui
Published: December 2023

Given the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused the regular in-person Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to be disrupted, there is a growing interest among researchers in investigating the application of telehealth ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review will summarize the previous studies during the COVID-19 period on telehealth ABA therapy especially for children with ASD. Nine studies were identified and three telehealth ABA models arose in these studies: the direct delivery model, the caregiver-support model, and the caregiver-training model. All of these nine studies indicated that telehealth ABA therapy was effective and efficient during the COVID-19 period, as all child participants with ASD in these studies showed statistically significant improvements in target developmental domains. This article also included two international models of ABA therapy during the COVID-19 period, with one in Italy and the other one in India. These two international studies demonstrated that telehealth ABA models can be culturally adaptative, and further proved the effectiveness of telehealth ABA therapy. Considering the limitations of current telehealth ABA therapy models, more future research is needed to solidify the research basis of telehealth ABA therapy and to determine the full potential of applying telehealth ABA therapy to children with ASD in the post-pandemic era.
Self-preferencing: An Analysis on the Way of Anti-Competitive Conduct
Authors: Huang Yi
Published: December 2023

Since the emergence of the Google Shopping case, a whole new type of abuse of market dominance has entered the public eye. In an Internet oligopoly, it uses its own companys product advantages in terms of algorithms, data, etc., to limit the competitiveness of its competitors. It is similar to traditional abuses of market dominance, such as tying and refusal to supply. However, it only partially meets all the behavioural elements of traditional monopolistic behaviour. Its widespread use by start-ups to support and protect their growth is not prohibited by law. However, when Internet oligopolies use it to support their products, it creates a monopoly that restricts competition like other abuses of market dominance. There is no clear and uniform definition of this type of behaviour, and the forms of behaviour are often varied, which may lead to abuse of the offence if they are arbitrarily criminalised. Therefore, self-referral conduct that can be criminalised should be strictly limited. This type of behaviour is widespread in the Internet sector, which is why countries have introduced laws such as the Digital Marketplace Act and the American Innovation and Online Choices Act to regulate such behaviour. Ultimately, however, the impact of the behaviour on the competitive environment of a typical market and the interests of consumers must be examined from the perspectives of both competitors and consumers to determine whether self-referral behaviour is in breach of Article 102 of the TFEU.

I Quit It Because I Wanted to: Ambitions and Aspirations of Women from Rural China Who Did Not Finish Compulsory Education and Became Migrant Workers
Authors: Lai Yueyi
Published: December 2023

In China, compulsory education extends to grade 9 and is mandated by law. However, there are still significant number of rural girls who choose to dropout of school and become migrant workers in coastal cities. This research contributes to existing literature by exploring why rural girls drop out and become migrant workers through two aspects. The former focuses on the 'forced' perspective, in which economic and gender norms play a role in pressuring girls to drop out of school. On the other hand, some researchers point out that girls may exert their agency and autonomously decide to drop out and become migrant workers. This can be because of their internal motivations and life goals, such as the desire to contribute financially to the family, lack of interest in academics, academic difficulties, peer influence, aspirations for a better life in rural areas, etc. In today's world, rural girls' agency and autonomy are increasingly important, therefore, this study examines the interplay of forced aspect and voluntary aspect from a rural girl's narrative to fill the gap that previous studies have missed.

Abortion Rights -Highly Controversial Legal Issues
Authors: Zhou Yuhe
Published: December 2023

As a long-standing issue, the right to abortion has generated many social issues in its practical application, leading to intensified social conflicts between pro-abortion and anti-abortion groups. It will use relevant cases such as the Roe v. Wade case as the starting point to conduct a specific analysis of the reasons for the dispute, including the conflict between religious will and feminism, high law enforcement costs, increasing social class gap, and disputes over whether the fetus has the right to life. On this basis, it will propose measures to weaken the negative impact of the right to prohibit abortion on these issues, such as to promote the revision of legal provisions, to integrate public law and private law, to increase the popularity of female sex education, to increase social welfare, and to consolidate social security. It should be noted that mitigating the adverse effects of an abortion ban is a gradual process, requiring the cooperation of different factions with conflicting interests. But by increasing attention to relevant issues and taking corresponding improvement measures, the problems caused by the ban on abortion will gradually be alleviated.
Interests and Responsibilities: Multiple Subjects and Their Normative Settings in Engineering Ethics
Authors: Gordon Matthew Robert
Published: December 2023

The complexity of modern engineering makes engineering increasingly become a collective activity, and the multiple subjects involved are constantly being highlighted. When engineering risks occur, it is often impossible to attribute all the responsibilities to a specific person, especially when researching to maximize profits. Engineering activities face more significant risks and challenges. Engineering ethics research addresses the ethical challenges and dilemmas engineers encounter in their professional practice. However, existing research methods and models may not adequately capture the diversity and interdependence of the actors and factors involved in engineering projects. For this reason, it is urgent for engineering ethics research to build a research and decision-making model that can integrate multiple subjects and multiple disciplines to solve ethical problems in specific engineering practices. By doing so, this paper hopes to promote ethical awareness and responsibility among engineers and other stakeholders and to ensure that engineering activities can genuinely serve the common good of humanity.

Comparing Urban Population Growth: Less Developed Countries in the Last 50 Years and the 19th Century Britain
Authors: Liu Zhuoqi
Published: December 2023

In recent decades, the world has witnessed a remarkable surge in urban population, soaring from 1 billion to 2.9 billion in the latter half of the 20th century, and further reaching 3.6 billion in 2010. Over half of the global populace now resides in urban areas, marking a tripling of the urban population within the last half-century. This substantial growth in urbanization is a significant global demographic shift. The World Bank's data reveals this upward trajectory through a compelling line graph, illustrating the burgeoning urban population from 1960 to 2015. Notably, this phenomenon is not confined to a specific region or category. "Less Developed Countries" (LDCs) have undergone a parallel surge in urban population, reminiscent of the urbanization wave experienced by Britain during the 19th century. This essay aims to delve into a comparative analysis of these burgeoning urban populations, focusing on their contexts, underlying causes, and far-reaching effects. By examining these aspects, a comprehensive understanding of the global urbanization phenomenon and its implications on societies, economies, and environments will be elucidated.

Comparative Analysis of Chinese and American Mode of Classroom Instruction on Youths Employment Adaptability
Authors: Zhang Kexin
Published: December 2023

This research paper examines the impact of Chinese and American teaching methods and teacher-student relationships on student employment adaptability. The aim of the study is to examine the differences between the educational methods used in China and the United States, including differences in teaching objectives, teaching methods, and teaching styles. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to analyze previous studies and identify key findings in this area. Interviews were carried out with four participants to demonstrate the characteristics of the teaching method and the teacher-student relationship to assess how it affected their employment adaptability.
