Authors: Cao Meng
Published: February 2024

This study examines the gradual evolution from traditional design paradigms to today's socially orientated design in the field of traditional design education. Traditional types of design exist in numerous industries, such as architecture, interior, apparel, and graphic design. However, much of the past design paradigm has been practically orientated. In contrast, the design industry and its processes are slowly becoming more socially relevant. After all, the advancement of society requires a greater consideration of the needs of the user. Therefore, there is a huge challenge in the transition to social design. From the perspective of design education, the most fundamental problem can be solved by implanting the traditional concept of design education into the concept of human-centred design. This study not only provides an in-depth theoretical and case study for the transformation of design education but also provides an outlook on the trend of this path in future research on human-centred social design education. This research supports the development of more creative and socially responsible designers in the future.

Attribution of Character "Jian Xiaocong's" Infidelity in Junils' Narrative
Authors: Yan Hongliang
Published: February 2024

"The Boy Who Sings Love Songs, Please Don’t Be Sad," published on July 1, 2010, by Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, is a work of author Junils. This book narrates the obsessive love story of Jian Xiaocong. "Infidelity" traditionally refers to words or actions deviating from principles or exceeding established boundaries. In modern context, it typically denotes the act of one or both parties in a committed relationship or marriage engaging in intimate relationships outside their vows to fulfill emotional or sexual needs. The emergence of infidelity is linked to the concept of marital contracts. Jian Xiaocong had been in a three-year romantic relationship with He Wangchuan, whom she met in college. He Wangchuan was known for his strong personal abilities, academic excellence, and a stable, well-paying job post-graduation. His heart was solely devoted to Jian Xiaocong, making him an ideal marital partner. Yet, Jian Xiaocong chose to engage in an affair with Shen Zixiong, ending her three-year love story with He Wangchuan. Her situation was not one of enduring the tribulations of being cheated on. Nor was it a case of psychological warping caused by monetary influence or the pressures of a male-dominated society on women. The emotional bond she shared with Shen Zixiong was more about the undercurrents of desire hidden beneath personal secrecy.
Urban Inspirations: The Influence of 19th Century Parisian Cityscapes on Impressionist Art
Authors: Yang Fangchao
Published: February 2024

The development and planning of Parisian cities in the 19th century provided inspiration for the Impressionists, who responded to the changes of the times with their unique painting techniques and concepts. From their own special point of view, the painters chose the boundaries of their vision in their paintings. The change in the combination of figures and landscapes meant a new shift in the way painters looked at modern life in the city. More and more man-made landscapes were included in the Impressionists' landscapes, and the integration of the countryside and the city made the suburbs the subject of the painters' depictions, which not only reconstructed the visual culture of the city, but also presented a picture of modern life in Paris. The experience of life in the context of urban landscapes provided Impressionist painters with a constant source of creative materials, and they thought about the development of urbanised landscapes and industrialised civilisations, and formed their artistic thoughts and tried to integrate them into their own paintings, presenting a portrait of modern life in Paris. This study aims to explore how the urban landscape of 19th-century Paris influenced the creation of the Impressionists, especially how they expressed the experience of urban life and social changes at that time through their art. By reviewing the history of urban development in nineteenth-century Paris, combined with in-depth analyses of representative works of the Impressionists, this study reveals the influence of the urban landscape on the artists' perspectives and the content of their creations. At the same time, the artistic reflection of the impact of the urbanisation process and industrialisation in Impressionist paintings is examined. The study finds that Impressionist painters not only made technical and stylistic innovations, but also transformed the way they represented modern urban life. They gradually added urban elements to their works, such as streets, buildings and urban people, while also reflecting the fusion of the countryside and the city. In addition, the painters reflected their thoughts on the process of urbanisation and industrialisation through their works. Through their works, the Impressionist artists reflected the changes in the urban landscape of nineteenth-century Paris, which not only influenced their themes and styles, but also profoundly revealed the social and cultural transformations of the time. These findings are important for understanding the importance of Impressionism in art history and its close connection to the era in which it was created.
Analysis of the Aesthetic Characteristics of the Cloud Shoulder Pattern in the Qing Dynasty
Authors: Zhang Jiayi
Published: February 2024

Yunjian is a patterned accessory in traditional Chinese clothing, used on the shoulders and collars. It originated in the Qin and Han dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Qing dynasty, it removed the mysterious cloak of royal power and nobility and spread to the people, becoming an accessory in ordinary folk clothing.

Research on Cross-Cultural Adaptation of International Students from Countries along the Belt and Road Initiative Route
Authors: Hu Wenwen
Published: February 2024

With the implementation of the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, China has deepened economic and cultural exchanges and dialogue with the countries along the Belt and Road Initiative route, which has a direct influence on a significant increase in the number of international students in China. Thus, it has become an urgent need for colleges and universities in China to solve the problem of cultivating international students. The huge difference in cultural background, ideology and language between Chinese students and international students, and even among the international students is an important obstacle to the education of international students. In this paper, 160 international students from countries along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) route admitted by a Chinese university are selected as the objects to explore the cross-cultural adaptation difficulty confronted by international students. Additionally, this paper aims to put forward several measures in a bid to continuously improve the cross-cultural adaptation of international students and thus promote our economic and cultural exchanges with foreign countries. The B&R Initiative is a kind of global view that China puts forward beyond national and ideological barriers to conform to the historical development trend of human society. It is the inevitable by-product of economic globalization. With the deepening of the B&R initiative, China has deepened its economic and cultural exchanges with the countries along the Belt and Road initiative route, which has led to a significant increase in the number of international students in China. The Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Students Studying Abroad (2017) showed that among the top 15 countries from which international students in China came, most countries were those along the BRI route, among which Thailand, India, Pakistan, Laos, etc., showed a significant increase in the number of overseas students studying in China. This indicates the Initiative’s big role in promoting China's educational cooperation with the countries along the BRI route. However, different language systems, education systems, talent cultivation systems and other barriers have caused an obvious cross-cultural adaptation of international students in China. To this end, this paper aims at promoting international students to better adapt to China's education mode, by exploring the cross-cultural adaptation of international students from countries along the BRI route.

REMAINS OF THE ALIMENTARY TRACT IN THE LATE ORDOVICIAN TRILOBITE DALMANITINA (PRAGUE BASIN, BARRANDIAN AREA, CZECH REPUBLIC)
Authors: FATKA OLDŘICH , BUDIL PETR , MIKULÁŠ RADEK
Published: February 2024

Preservation of digestive structures in trilobites is generally rare; remains of the alimentary tract have been documented in about eighty of more than twenty thousand described species. Several tens of specimens belonging to five Cambrian and nine Ordovician species from the Barrandian area, Czech Republic, have markedly contributed to the knowledge of the trilobite digestive system. Here, we describe seven exceptionally preserved late holaspid trilobite specimens of species of the genus Dalmanitina collected from Upper Ordovician strata of the Barrandian area. All studied specimens are preserved as internal moulds and exhibit a narrow strip-like structure that runs sagitally or sub-sagitally under the axial lobe of the thoracopygon. These strip-like structures are markedly different from scavenger burrows and are interpreted as remains of the alimentary canal. A slightly expanded anterior-most part of the digestive system is preserved in the cephalic shield of six specimens and is interpreted as a remainder of the anterior midgut. A dark area is seen in the glabellar lobes of three specimens. These dark areas do not represent pyrite concentrations in the hypostome–glabellar cavity, because they contain only small amounts of Fe and S. These areas are interpreted as the remainder of cephalic digestive midgut diverticula, or the “perigastric organ”. Quantitative chemical analyses show that in species of Dalmanitina the digestive system is preserved as dark matter containing partly digested food particles and most probably also a higher amount of clay minerals. The described specimens constitute the first well-documented example of digestive structures in the subfamily Dalmanitininae.

Background: People have always believed that going through the process of childbirth is a gift, although pain experienced during labor by a woman occupies the second level in the pain score table. But that belief that one has to undergo pain during labor is slowly fading away, as we are entering an era where women are seeking options for painless labor, and delivery. Objective: To evaluate the spine of women in labor opting for epidural analgesia. To correlate the abnormal position of the maternal spine to the progress of labor and outcomes. Methods: The current prospective observational study performed between 2021-2023 had enrolled 200 women who were given epidural analgesia irrespective of stage of labor. Women who had a history of spine surgeries or congenital spinal deformities were excluded. Results: Of the 200 women included in the study, 80 women showed a deviation of spine mostly to the right from the midline or significant lordosis, irrespective of babies’ weight and maternal height. Out of the 80 women, 70 women ended up in an emergency cesarean section. Of the 70 women who were taken up for emergency c-sections, the major indication was nonprogress of the second stage of labor. Ten patients had a vaginal delivery, of which 3 had assisted instrumental delivery due to a prolonged second stage and poor maternal efforts. Conclusion: Irrespective of maternal height, weight of the baby, and stages of labor, if the spine shows lordosis with significant deviation from the midline most commonly towards the right it can have a significant impact on the progress of labor and outcomes.

Tuberculosis is one of the deadliest infectious illnesses in the world. Splenic tuberculosis is typically a component of miliary TB, ranks third after lung and liver, and is more prevalent in people with weakened immune systems. An extremely uncommon variant of abdominal tuberculosis is splenic TB in immune-competent people with no extra splenic involvement. In individuals without pulmonary disease and without symptoms, splenic TB diagnosis is challenging. There are frequently no diagnostic standards for isolated TB. A definitive diagnosis is rarely reached by preoperative testing. When other potential causes of fever and splenomegaly have been ruled out in endemic areas, splenic TB should be suspected. The typical treatment for splenic TB without abscess is medical management (ATT). For splenectomy, a single TB splenic abscess in a healthy patient is recommended. Here we report the case of a 33-year-old patient, who complained of left-sided stomach pain that had been bothering him for four years but was unrelated to radiation or food consumption. It has been linked to several high-grade fever bouts and frequent hospitalizations for the same during the past three years. With standard preoperative pneumococcal immunization, the patient is scheduled for a routine open splenectomy.

Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF)/idiopathic portal fibrotic hypertension (IPH) is one of the major diseases that include a group of diseases caused by increased portal venous pressure which is thought to be due to intrahepatic or prehepatic lesions in the absence of liver cirrhosis. In the present case a 35-year-old female presented with abdominal fullness and pain in the upper abdomen for the past two months which was not associated with the consumption of water or food, nausea, or vomiting. When we investigated it was seen that she had severe anemia with pancytopenia with no malarial parasite on peripheral smear, liver renal and liver function tests were within the normal range. The diagnosis of Banti’s syndrome was made. However, the patient was then vitally stable and was started on propranolol and was advised for splenectomy due to refractory anemia. The present study provides easy and conventional diagnostic techniques for clinical diagnosis and proves the radiological technique.

While an Automated Intrusion Response System (AIRS) chooses and initiates a suitable reaction from the pool of response groups based on specific response choice requirements to reduce the intrusion immediately, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) finds the intrusions and generates alerts. The accurate assessment of the critical weight of all responses chosen and the prioritization of the incursion response set are the biggest hurdles when creating an AIRS. This study suggested a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method for ranking intrusion responses. The TOPSIS method is an MCDM method used to rank the alternatives. The TOPSIS method integrated with the single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) to overcome uncertainty. This study used 16 criteria and 10 alternatives to be evaluated by experts and decision-makers. The sensitivity analysis shows the rank of other options under different cases. The criteria weights are changed under 17 cases. The results of sensitivity analysis show the rank of alternatives is stable. The suggested method was compared with other MCDM methods to show its effectiveness and robustness.

Authors: Wang Jincheng
Published: February 2024

The heart is the core driving force for the continuation of human life, and the disease of this organ is bound to be fatal. There are two main types of heart disease. Congenital diseases are caused by developmental problems in unborn children. These problems, mainly in the heart, can damage various parts of the heart. Acquired sexually transmitted diseases are diseases caused by environmental factors and their own growth and development after birth. The purpose of the project model is to predict heart disease and analyse the main types of heart disease in the population. In the whole research process, the most important thing is the establishment of the model. The algorithm principle of this model is logistic regression. Logistic regression is used to make predictions and probability calculations on the data. Through such algorithms, modelling techniques can be used to predict the impact of pathogenic factors on the probability of heart disease. In addition, prevention of heart disease can be improved with accurate and convenient model predictions that can be tailored to the population that fits the predictions. This method can improve the technical level and treatment level of the hospital, and can also reduce the harm caused by heart disease.

In the last decade or so, deep neural networks have evolved at a rapid pace, where computer vision has been constantly refreshing its best performance and has been integrated into our lives. In the field of target detection, YOLO model is a popular real-time target detection algorithm model that is fast, efficient, and accurate. This research aims to optimize the latest YOLOv8 model to improve its detection of small objects and compare it with another different version of YOLO models. To achieve this goal, we used the classical deep learning algorithm YOLOv8 as a benchmark and made several improvements and optimizations. We optimized the definition of the detection head, narrowed its perceptual field, and increased its number, allowing the model to better focus on the detailed information of small objects. We compared the optimized YOLOv8 model with other classical YOLO models, including YOLOv3 and YOLOv5n. The experimental results show that our optimized model improves small object detection with higher accuracy. This research provides an effective solution for small object detection with good application prospects. With the continuous development and improvement of the technology, we believe that the YOLO algorithm will continue to play an essential role in object detection and provide a reliable solution for various real-time applications.
