Social Media Network Structure

2025-08-31T09:18:02+00:00

All kinds of social media accounts in China have formed a network with multiple subjects, large scale, complex structure, and diverse functions, becoming the main supplier of information for society. What are its core nodes and main communication channels, and how can overall communication efficiency be improved? These questions guide the analysis of China’s current social media communication. Using the highly recognizable information of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study tracks and analyzes communication effects and paths, and examines structural characteristics from the perspective of complexity theory. The findings show that in China’s complex social media network, traditional mainstream media and accounts hosted by party and government organizations are the most important communication nodes, whose linkage provides a framework function. During the static management of Xi’an and Shanghai, the communication structure exhibited three-point and four-point models, centered on local and central mainstream media accounts. Therefore, this study proposes improving the efficiency and quality of communication by optimizing the network structure, repositioning the roles of mainstream media and government accounts, and adjusting their responsibilities and powers, so as to enhance the network’s functions in information dissemination, public opinion guidance, social mobilization, and information purification.

2025-08-30T13:35:28+00:00

The Golden Rooster Awards, China’s premier film accolade, has been held in Xiamen for many years, integrating the city’s material, spiritual, and cultural dimensions while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The event serves as a vital platform for showcasing and promoting Xiamen’s image. Its continued presence has not only created new opportunities for the development of Xiamen’s film industry but has also offered fresh perspectives on promoting and shaping the city’s cultural identity, paving the way for Xiamen to gradually establish itself as a city of film.To build the City of Cinema cultural brand, it is essential to capitalize on the long-term presence of the Golden Rooster Awards in Xiamen. Efforts should be concentrated on key sectors of the film industry—such as content creation, post-production, operational management, and talent cultivation—in order to establish a new model of industrial development in which cinema drives urban growth and film festivals stimulate creative production.

Research on the Impact Mechanism of Environmental Economics on Study Tour Education: Transnational Cases and Student Capacity Building

2025-08-30T13:35:28+00:00

Against the backdrop of ecological governance, this paper selects transnational ecological cases such as China's Saihanba Forest Farm, the Netherlands' Rotterdam Water Management System, the United States' Yellowstone National Park, and Brazil's Amazon Rainforest protection. It constructs a practical path for environmental economics study-tour education, which follows the sequence of "identification of ecological issues - analysis of economic mechanisms - deduction of governance schemes - mutual learning from international experiences". The research shows that this path enables students to deeply understand the application of theories such as externality theory and public goods theory in ecological governance. Students participating in the study tour have significantly improved their abilities in aspects like ecological and economic policy evaluation and environmental cost accounting. Through comparing ecological governance models in different countries and regions, the core elements of environmental economics study-tour education are extracted, providing new ideas for cultivating economics talents with a global ecological perspective and practical capabilities.

Coexistence Challenges in the AI Era: Social Robots and Human Networks

2025-08-30T13:50:44+00:00

The rapid integration of social robots into everyday life in China is transforming human social networks, creating unprecedented “coexistence dilemmas” that blend opportunities for companionship with significant ethical challenges. This study examines the emergence of social robots as quasi-human actors, their capacity to engage in emotional and social interactions, and the resulting tensions with established interpersonal norms. Drawing on the Chinese policy context and ethical theories—including virtue ethics, responsibility ethics, and the ethics of care—the paper analyzes four core issues: anthropomorphic misalignment, privacy and data security risks, ambiguity in responsibility attribution, and emotional manipulation. Case studies such as Xiaoice illustrate how design choices, corporate practices, and regulatory gaps influence these challenges. The study proposes a multi-level ethical framework that combines human-centered design principles, robust accountability mechanisms, cultural sensitivity, and user education to ensure that social robots enhance rather than erode human relationships. By aligning technological innovation with ethical governance, this framework aims to guide the harmonious integration of social robots into China’s evolving socio-technical landscape.

An Interpretation of Aristophanes’ Eulogy in Plato’s Symposium

2025-07-31T15:48:53+00:00

Plato’s Symposium centers on the praise of the god of love, Eros, bringing together various perspectives on desire from prominent Greek intellectuals. Among them, Aristophanes’ encomium stands out for its mythopoetic expression, reflecting the comic poet’s profound insight into human nature, society, and politics. Through the allegory of spherical humans split in half by Zeus, Aristophanes suggests that desire originates from humanity’s longing for an original state of wholeness. This eros is not merely a response to bodily trauma, but also a yearning for self-identity and the unity of the soul.

The article further reveals that Aristophanes attributes higher value to love between men, thereby reflecting the interconnection between political ideals and gender order in ancient Greek society. Moreover, by analyzing rhetorical devices, temporal structure, and the redemptive function of Eros, the paper explores the mechanisms of irony and metaphysical symbolism embedded in Aristophanes’ speech. Love, in this view, is not only an expression of emotion and desire, but also a philosophical response to the fractures within the self and the ruptures of history. As a comic poet, Aristophanes deftly employs humor and myth to construct eros as a complex structure that traverses the domains of nature, ontology, society, and power.

The Historical Context and Realist Orientation of Erich Auerbach's Figural Interpretation (Figura)

2025-07-31T14:58:17+00:00

In the 1930s, Erich Auerbach, exiled amid Nazi antisemitism and Aryan philology, revived the Latin-patristic concept of figura: a historical-grammatical method connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfilment. In contrast to the prevailing pure philology of the period, figural interpretation embraced a teleological view of history, transforming Hebrew scripture from narrowly Jewish law into a cultural bridge linking everyday reality and transcendental redemption. This article argues that Auerbach’s figural interpretation constitute not merely a philological method but a cultural-political theory consciously devised to defend Judeo-Christian humanism and redefine Western literary realism. By tracing the concept’s patristic origins, examining its wartime deployment against Nazi ideology, and highlighting its role in Mimesis—where mixture of styles elevates ordinary experience into the primary measure of literary realism—the article demonstrates figural interpretation as a threefold intellectual strategy: sharpening historical insight, confronting cultural-political crises, and innovating literary criticism.

Research on the High-Skilled Labor and Identity Construction of Video Creative Workers

2025-07-31T14:59:01+00:00

Why are mid-video creative workers willing to produce content on Bilibili even if the earnings are not high? This is the starting point of research thinking. This paper takes the cultural production practice of UP hosts as an example and finds that the platform attempts to eliminate the instability of labor through control strategies such as interface design, creation incentives, algorithmic streaming, and incubating accounts. The "high skill" of creative work and the non-standardization of the production model explain both the endogenous logic of the platform's "income does not cover income" and the premise of creators' "consent" for generating "love". The high threshold of users' consumption of video forces creators to "compete" in skills, highlighting the subjectivity of workers while forming "identity games", a form of labor control that is different from the previous "de-skillization". The labor-capital conflict conceals the "symbiotic relationship" of checks and dependencies among platforms, creators and users, which not only weakens the degree of labor control of platform capital, but also provides implications for understanding the diversified platform ecosystem and expanding the theory of the labor process.

Visualizing the Spatial Network of Cultural Heritage Based on Spatial Genes: A Case Study of Kulangsu, Xiamen

2025-07-31T14:59:46+00:00

Grounded in the theoretical framework of spatial genes, this study focuses on 51 core heritage elements of Kulangsu to explore multi-dimensional visualization approaches for the spatial network of cultural heritage. Through systematic analysis across four dimensions—construction period, architectural function, stylistic features, and spatial layout—time-series maps and spatial distribution maps were constructed. These maps reveal the characteristics of spatial genes underlying Kulangsu's evolution from an indigenous settlement to an international community. Combined with a "point-line-plane" hierarchical identification, a heritage spatial network structure encompassing historical, social, and cultural values was established and visualized to demonstrate its integrity and diversity. The research demonstrates that the identification of spatial genes and their multi-dimensional visualization of Kulangsu's core heritage elements can effectively elucidate its historical evolution and cultural significance. Future work requires continuous improvement in data precision enhancement, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and public participation mechanisms to enhance the scientific rigor and communicative efficacy of cultural heritage spatial representation, thereby better serving heritage conservation and revitalization practices.

Culture in Technology, Technology in Culture: The Generative Logic and Meaning Construction of Qiqiao IP Image Design

2025-07-31T15:00:48+00:00

This study takes Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) as a technological pivot to investigate its empowering mechanisms and pathways of cultural representation in the IP image design of Qiqiao culture, a form of Chinese intangible cultural heritage. By analyzing core cultural symbols such as the "Weaving Maiden" and "craftsmanship" associated with the Qiqiao Festival, and integrating the prompt-based generation logic and image construction capabilities of advanced diffusion models, the research proposes a five-stage design framework: cultural theme extraction–model training–image generation–visual refinement–media dissemination. Empirical practices conducted on platforms such as “MiduDream” demonstrate that AIGC not only improves the creative efficiency of traditional IP imagery but also expands the boundaries of Qiqiao culture’s digital communication. Moreover, from a techno-cultural perspective, the study critically examines the encoding and disciplining mechanisms of cultural meaning embedded in AIGC generation processes, highlighting that while algorithmic expression enhances visual appeal, it also risks cultural superficiality and symbolic entertainment. Finally, the article outlines future research directions focusing on algorithmic localization, immersive experience construction, and co-creation mechanisms. The findings provide a replicable methodology that integrates cultural depth with technological efficiency for the design of intangible cultural heritage IP images.

"The Children of Heaven" as a Cultural Mirror: Reflecting Ethnic Narratives in Iranian Children's Film

2025-07-31T15:02:02+00:00

Following the Iranian New Wave and the Islamic Revolution, Iranian filmmakers established a distinct tradition of children's film. Iranian films began to gain international recognition, being screened at prestigious film festivals and winning various awards. This article explores the emergence of children's film in Iran post-New Wave, examining its unique characteristics. It also delves into how Iranian children's films address ethnicity through themes, narratives, and filmtic language, using The Children of Heaven as a case study. The rise of Iranian children's film has highlighted a key observation: what is national can also be global. In the context of globalization and the dominance of Western aesthetics as the standard, Iranian filmmakers have successfully crafted films that preserve national identity while appealing to a broader audience. This approach offers valuable insights for contemporary Chinese film.

"Front" of Urban-Rural Cultural Neighborhood Communication: The Mediatization Mechanism of Township Public Cultural Spaces

2025-08-30T13:35:28+00:00

To delve into the predicaments in urban-rural cultural integration, analyze the underlying essential issues, and explore paths and strategies for advancing the equalization of urban-rural public cultural services, this paper, in combination with the Neighborhood Communication Theory, proposes an "Institution-Technology-Society" three-dimensional analytical framework. It examines the communication mechanisms, spatial production, and governance models in the process of urban-rural cultural integration, and reveals the interactions among the three.The study finds that although the urban-rural dual structure is gradually dissolving, obstacles to the flow of cultural identity and emotional identity still exist, leading to a widening gap between urban and rural cultures. Through institutional innovation and digital technology empowerment, urban and rural cultures can break through geographical and institutional restrictions to achieve cross-boundary flow, promoting the gradual integration of cultures. Moreover, the equalization of urban-rural public cultural services is an important foundation for advancing urban-rural integration. Only through multi-dimensional cooperation in institutional design, technical support, and social interaction, and by enabling township public cultural spaces to exert a "front effect", can true urban-rural cultural integration be achieved.

Logic and Path of China's Regional Economic Disparities

2025-08-31T02:48:10+00:00

This article employs the theories of institutional change, factor flow and technological innovation to deeply analyze the formation mechanism of regional economic disparities in China. Research shows that regional differences in institutional flexibility, obstacles to the flow of factors, and the gradient distribution of technological innovation jointly lead to the imbalance in regional development. By sorting out regional economic data and policy practices, a coordinated development path of building an elastic institutional environment, eliminating barriers to factor flow, and improving the diffusion mechanism of technological innovation is proposed, providing theoretical support for promoting balanced regional economic development.

Visual Symbols

2025-07-02T15:13:27+00:00

As an audio-visual art, the visual symbols presented in the film have always been the focus of research and attention. In addition to discussing the details of the visual presentation of the film itself, it is more important to interpret and explain the cultural expression contained in the visual symbols. In the new era and new context, the Silk Road culture has been vigorously promoted and publicized, and many excellent literary and artistic works have been produced. "Chang'an" is one of the representative works. Based on the visual symbols presented in the film "Chang'an", this paper will analyze the intertextual connotations hidden behind it from the perspective of deconstructionism, and explain the value expression of the overall Silk Road culture.

The Flux and Reflections of Female Consciousness in the Taiwanese Film Little Big Women

2025-07-02T08:45:40+00:00

Film, as a unique art form, profoundly conveys the essence of thought, story line, perceptual experience, emotional resonance and aesthetic pursuit through the presentation of moving images. In today's society, film-watching activities not only carry the function of leisure and entertainment, but also become an important communication channel for the director's ideological views and emotional tendencies. At the same time, the feedback mechanism of the film box office also provides us with a valuable window to understand the hot issues in society and the tendency of people's interest, which in turn helps us to grasp the pulse of social change. Taking the 2020 Taiwan box office champion Little Big Women as an example, this paper focuses on the portrayal and evolution of its female image, revealing the remarkable transformation trajectory from the ‘unawakened traditional woman’ to the ‘compatible woman struggling in the traditional framework’ to the ‘new woman seeking independence and freedom’. to ‘new women seeking independence and freedom’. This process of transformation clearly presents the transmutation of identity and the awakening of subjective consciousness of three generations of Taiwanese women in the current of the times, which not only provides a localised and vivid case study for the study of contemporary feminist cinema, but also profoundly reflects the complex interactions between the loosening of patriarchal structures and the awakening of local gender consciousness in Taiwanese society.

Matteo Ricci and Sino-Western Cultural Exchange

2025-07-02T08:45:40+00:00

Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit active in China from the late 16th to early 17th century, pioneered a new model of East-West cultural exchange through his "accommodation strategy." Over nearly thirty years of missionary work in China, Ricci not only propagated Christianity but also introduced Western science, mathematics, and geography, gaining respect and recognition from the Ming dynasty's scholar-officials. His collaboration with Xu Guangqi in translating Euclid’s Elements became a key bridge for scientific exchange between China and the West, exemplifying the far-reaching impact of Christianity and Western science in China. Furthermore, by deeply studying Confucian thought, Ricci sought to align Christian doctrines with traditional Chinese ethics, laying the groundwork for cultural adaptation in the spread of Christianity. Ricci’s influence extended beyond China. His writings introduced Confucian philosophy to Europe, prompting Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire and Leibniz to reassess the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures. His depictions of China stimulated intellectual interest in Chinese philosophy, ethics, and governance, thereby promoting dialogue and integration between East and West. Ricci set a precedent for future intercultural exchanges and laid the foundation for cross-cultural communication in a globalized context. His work highlights the importance of cultural understanding and adaptation, offering valuable lessons for today’s global dialogue.

The Scars of Memory, the Trap of Desire, and the Mirror of Class

2025-06-24T11:40:29+00:00

Bong Joon-ho's films are renowned for their profound revelation and critique of South Korean social realities. This paper interprets the social allegories in Bong Joon-ho's films, such as Parasite, Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer, The Host, and Mother, through the lens of the scars of memory, the trap of desire, and the mirror of class. The films touch upon the collective "scars of memory" of the Korean people, demonstrating the historical causes and social impact of the "Han" cultural psychology through metaphors and representations of historical traumatic events. Employing Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, this paper analyzes the "trap of desire" – the alienation of characters in the context of capitalism, revealing the anxiety and loss of the lower class in the pursuit of the "ideal self." Furthermore, these films construct a "mirror of class" that reflects the solidification of social hierarchy and the disparity between the rich and the poor in South Korean society by depicting the living conditions of different classes. Bong Joon-ho's cinematic allegories are not only artistic representations of social issues in South Korea but also provide profound insights into understanding the universal problems of class conflict, human alienation, and historical memory in contemporary society.

Study on the Social Issues of the “Ancestral Temple Revival” in China

2025-06-24T11:32:46+00:00

In recent years, the revival of ancestral halls has been rapidly gaining momentum across various regions in China. This paper takes the eastern region of Hubei Province as a case study and, based on extensive fieldwork, investigates the main reasons behind the accelerated revival of ancestral halls in contemporary China and the social issues concealed behind this phenomenon. The key issues identified include: (1) the serious tendency for excessive comparison in the construction of ancestral halls and the negative impact this has on social values; (2) the deep penetration of grassroots administrative power into the construction of ancestral halls and the potential corruption problems arising from this involvement; (3) the compulsory fundraising for ancestral hall construction and the heavy economic burden it places on the impoverished rural population; in addition, the challenges related to the transformation of the shared nature of existing ancestral halls, the vulgarization of aesthetics in newly built ancestral halls, and the current divergence between the revival of ancestral halls and the mainstream national values. Finally, the paper offers recommendations on these issues, aimed at actively responding to the current exploration and practice of rural revitalization in China, particularly the goal of "inheriting, developing, and enhancing agricultural civilization, and promoting the prosperity of rural culture."

The Mediating Role of Teacher Support in The Relationship between Marginalization and Academic Performance among Migrant Children in China

2025-06-24T11:55:49+00:00

Migrant children are a special group in the process of China's economic development. They not only linger on the edge of unequal educational opportunities but are also marginalized in schools. Using data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), a nationally representative sample of junior high school students, the study attempts to examine the relationship between migrant children's marginalization and academic achievement and check the moderating role of teacher support in this relationship. The results show that positive teacher support has a negative moderating effect on the marginalization of migrant children. When teachers take a positive and supportive attitude toward socially marginalized students, the marginalized children are more integrated within their peer groups over time. The more actively teachers support migrant children, the more they can reduce the probability of migrant children being marginalized. Teacher support also has a positive impact on migrant children's social behavioral development and academic performance to a large extent. The positive attitude of teachers enables migrant children, a marginalized group, to have stronger school adaptability and a more positive development direction of social behavior and academic performance.

Cultural Intermediaries and Cosmopolitans

2025-06-24T11:18:18+00:00

This article analyzes the symbolic power and locations of travel bloggers in the global cultural economy by linking the theories and approaches of cultural intermediaries, cosmopolitanism and tourist studies. Drawing on netnographic methodology and narrative analysis of Chinese social media accounts, this article further examines how travel bloggers convert world landscapes and self-presentations into mediascapes providing consumable content as well as life-styles for local audiences. A Chinese perspective is contributed by having the discussion connecting travel with other mobilities. We propose that the travel bloggers and their productions are the evidence of cultural traveling and transformation.

An Overview of Science Communication Methods and Practices in Museums in the New Media Era

2025-07-02T08:45:40+00:00

As an important social and cultural institution for the communication of science knowledge, museums carry the important mission of popularizing scientific knowledge, enhancing public scientific literacy and promoting social innovation. This study takes science communication in museums as the research content, systematically analyzes its communication status quo, methods and practice cases, deeply explores the existing problems and challenges, and puts forward optimization strategies. Through the study of communication content, channels, audience and other dimensions, combined with the exhibition, educational activities, new media communication and other specific practices, to reveal the internal rules and development path of science communication in museums. The study finds that museums need to make continuous efforts in strengthening talent training and team building, promoting communication efficiency upgrading, and enhancing public interaction and participation in order to adapt to the needs of the times, improve the efficiency of science communication and better serve the public.

Rivers as Media: Spatial Construction and Geopolitical Negotiation in China's Borderlands

2025-06-08T00:55:36+00:00

Rivers, through their interaction with humanity, have shaped human civilization. The political significance of rivers as boundaries has long been overshadowed by their practical uses and aesthetic values, receiving limited scholarly attention. Spanning China’s east and west, the Erguna River in the northeast and the Irtysh River in Xinjiang serve as key border rivers. As border rivers, they share frontier attributes and symbolize the negotiation between natural order and political boundaries. Their differing roles, influenced by unique natural features and relational actors, create diverse spatial dynamics. Cross-border rivers mediate China’s relationships with neighboring countries and subtly reshape global geopolitical patterns. This highlights their mediatory significance, capacity for spatial transformation, and nuanced relationships with human societies, neighboring countries, and the broader world.

Imagining Gender Equality: Perspectives on Equality from a Feminist Viewpoint

2025-07-02T08:45:40+00:00

The perspective on equality from a feminist viewpoint is proposed based on revealing the unequal patriarchal social structure. It explains the inequality of the patriarchal system from two aspects: temporal inequality and structural inequality. Based on this, the feminist perspective on equality deepens the understanding of the dynamics between the sexes in the process of transitioning from a formal view of equality to a substantive view of equality. However, when faced with internal divisions within feminism and the impact of external environments, the existing feminist perspective on equality reveals shortcomings such as being overly abstract, lacking representativeness, and not being inclusive. By constructing a model of four types of gender relations, this approach analyzes and critiques the existing feminist perspective on equality while expanding its modes of expression and value connotations, further elevating it to an inclusive, open, free, dynamic, and unique collection of equality values.

The Revival of Music and Dance Culture of Hunan Ancestors in the Age of Digital Intelligence

2025-07-02T08:45:40+00:00

In the context of the era when digital intelligence technology deeply empowers cultural inheritance, the ancient music and dance culture of Hunan, as an important living legacy of Chinese civilisation, is in urgent need of creative transformation through digital transformation. This paper explores the revival path of Hunan culture from the three dimensions of building a digital resource base, reshaping artistic expression through technological integration, and new media communication innovation. The study shows that artificial intelligence and big data technology can systematically preserve multimodal cultural data, virtual reality (VR) and generative adversarial network (GAN) technology can innovate artistic expressions, and short video platforms and digital exhibitions can effectively expand the boundaries of global communication. Through digital intelligence, Hunan culture has not only achieved living heritage, but has also become an important link in forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation.

“Rooster Coop” and “Jungle” : Democracy, and the Paradox of Freedom in The White Tiger

2025-05-31T15:08:44+00:00

Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger critically exposes the contradictions of India’s postcolonial modernization through three key dimensions. The first, symbolized by the “Rooster Coop”, reveals how entrenched caste hierarchies undermine India’s democratic politics, turning elections into rituals that maintain systemic inequality. The second dimension examines the alienation of subaltern agency, illustrating how freedom is entangled with violence and moral ambiguity in a society governed by brutal “jungle laws”.The third centers on Balram’s self-narrative as a “half-baked” reflection of India’s fractured modernity, caught between feudal legacies and neoliberal aspirations. Through the protagonist’s fractured journey, Adiga exposes a deeper crisis in political modernity: when democratic institutions are transplanted without dismantling structural inequalities, democracy becomes a hollow formalism that legitimizes structural violence rather than emancipates. This critique transcends the Indian context, offering a cautionary message for all societies attempting democratization without addressing the foundational demands of justice and equality.

Financial Data Analysis and Forecast Report of Apple Inc. Using the 3D-IDPT Model of IRM-Projecting 2024-2026 Data Based on 2021-2023 Data

2025-05-31T15:08:44+00:00

This study applies the 3D-IDPT model from the field of Information Resource Management to construct a three-dimensional analytical framework for evaluating the financial performance of Apple Inc. from 2021 to 2023, while forecasting key financial trends for the years 2024 to 2026. By calculating and analyzing core indicators—including liquidity ratios, efficiency ratios, payables ratios, and the operating cycle—the research explores Apple’s financial dynamics from three integrated dimensions: spatial (individual and collective), temporal (instantaneous and synchronous), and constructive (identification, processing, and optimization).The results indicate that Apple’s liquidity steadily improved, reflecting enhanced short-term solvency. However, a downward trend in efficiency ratios suggests slowing sales and reduced asset turnover. Changes in payables ratios and the lengthening of the operating cycle reflect the company's evolving strategies in cash flow and operational management. Through the constructive axis of the 3D-IDPT model, the study proposes strategic recommendations for financial structure optimization, asset allocation, and supplier relationship management.In addition, the paper examines the potential impacts of macroeconomic variables—such as rising inflation and falling interest rates—on Apple’s financial statements. Three scenario-based simulations are presented, offering strategic response paths to future uncertainties. The study concludes that the 3D-IDPT model not only unveils the structural meaning embedded in financial data but also serves as a practical tool for guiding data-driven strategic optimization in complex business environments.

Research on The Correlation between Investments in Various Industries Based on Regression Model

2025-05-14T09:28:43+00:00

As China transitions to high-quality economic development, industrial structure adjustment has become crucial. Government investment, as a key tool of macroeconomic regulation, plays an important role in guiding industrial upgrading, optimizing resource allocation, promoting growth, and expanding employment. This study analyzes the relation-ship between industry-specific investment and GDP to provide a scientific basis for investment allocation. Using industry GDP data from 1990 to 2023, issues such as outliers, missing values, and unit inconsistencies were addressed to ensure data integrity. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that sectors such as industry, construction, manufacturing, finance, IT services, education, and healthcare are strongly linked to GDP growth. Based on the characteristics of each sector, linear or nonlinear regression models were developed to quantify investment impact. Under a total government investment constraint of 1 trillion yuan, an optimized investment plan was proposed using optimization algorithms like fmincon to maximize GDP. Analysis of historical investment proportions showed rising shares for IT services and finance, while agriculture and textiles declined. The findings demonstrate that scientific planning and optimized investment can effectively support industrial upgrading, improve resource efficiency, and promote sustainable economic growth and employment.

Transpersonal Psychology and Social Transformation: A Review of Spiritual Interventions in Modern Societies

2025-04-30T12:15:39+00:00

Transpersonal psychology integrates spirituality into individual mental health and social well-being, employing interventions such as meditation, hypnosis, and energy healing to promote holistic approaches. This literature review systematically synthesizes peer-reviewed articles and books (2000–2023) from PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and JSTOR, selected based on demographics relevant to transpersonal psychology, interpersonal practice specialization, intervention types, and outcome effects. The review explores how spiritual interventions address contemporary challenges such as mental health crises and weakened community bonds. Findings suggest that spiritual interven-tions significantly enhance individual and community resilience, al-though cultural context influences their effectiveness, and empirical support remains limited and inconsistent across regions. By bridging psychology, sociology, and cultural studies, this study evaluates spirituality’s potential for fostering social transformation through resilience and cohesion. The findings offer valuable implications for policymakers and practitioners seeking culturally sensitive strategies to strengthen mental health and social solidarity in diverse societal con-texts.

Construction of an Evaluation Index System for Construction-Related Interdisciplinary Technical Talents

2025-05-14T09:17:15+00:00

Amid the technological revolution and industrial transformation, the construction industry is accelerating digitalization, green transition, and internationalization, driving the need for versatile technical talent. Traditional evaluation systems, focused solely on technical skills, are no longer sufficient. This study constructs a multidimensional evaluation framework for composite construction professionals, covering hard skills, soft skills, cross-disciplinary capabilities, and sustainable knowledge. It integrates advanced competencies such as BIM model-ing, AI tools, and carbon emission calculations, alongside ESG report-ing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and emerging fields like circular economy and carbon trading. By applying data-driven methods to determine indicator weights and benchmarks, the framework offers a scientific, dynamic approach adaptable to corporate recruitment, academic training, and career planning. Through practical feedback, the system undergoes iterative optimization. The study also proposes graduate education reforms, including curriculum adjustments, practical training enhancement, and evaluation updates, emphasizing closer industry-academia collaboration. By addressing limitations of traditional evaluations, this framework provides theoretical and practical guidance for cultivating composite talent, supporting sustainable development in the construction sector.

Research on Interactive Display Design of Popular Science Public Space Based on Information Dissemination Theory

2025-05-31T15:08:45+00:00

This study aims to optimize the design of interactive displays for popular sci-ence content in public spaces by integrating information dissemination theory, focusing on public interaction patterns and content acceptance characteristics. Through case studies, the research first analyzes the evolution and usage challenges of public spaces, identifying user 'pain points' to propose innovative design strategies tailored to public behavior and psychology. These strategies were implemented in practical design projects, with post-deployment feedback collected via interviews to evaluate effectiveness. The results demonstrate that applying communication theory to interactive science displays not only addresses existing spatial design limitations but also enhances public engagement, emotional experience, and knowledge dissemination. The findings offer a validated approach to improving science education in public environments, underscoring their social responsibility in fostering scientific literacy.

Machine Learning-Based Search Strategy for Water Object Retrieval in Cultural Tourism Safety Contexts

2025-05-14T09:09:51+00:00

This research addresses the challenge of predicting deviations in the landing positions of objects dropped into water, with important implica-tions for cultural tourism safety near lakes, rivers, and other natural attractions. An innovative optimization method for search strategies based on machine learning is proposed. A simulated dataset incorporating features such as drop height, water entry angle, drag coefficient, and object density enables detailed model comparisons. Five machine learning models—XGBoost, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP)— are evaluated using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the Coefficient of Determination. Experimental results show that XGBoost significantly outperforms the others, effectively capturing complex nonlinear relationships through its gradient boost-ing mechanism. In contrast, models like Decision Tree, SVM, and MLP exhibit lower predictive accuracy due to weaker generalization capabilities. This study provides a robust machine learning-based framework to enhance predictive accuracy and search efficiency in aquatic environments.
