AI for Campus Mental Health: From Implementation to Symbiotic Ecosystem
type: item
description: Due to the combined influence of multiple factors such as academic pressure and employment anxiety, mental health issues among college students have become increasingly prominent, and the demand for mental health services has risen accordingly. However, traditional mental health service models in higher education institutions—which primarily rely on in-person appointments, psychological screenings, and passive human intervention—are constrained by practical challenges such as time and location limitations, uneven resource allocation, and slow response times. As a result, these models are struggling to meet the personalized and immediate mental health needs of today’s college students. Leveraging its unique strengths in data analysis and mental state monitoring, AI technology offers new insights for the transformation and upgrading of university mental health services. Currently, AI technology in this field is at a critical juncture, transitioning from exploration to practical application; however, core challenges such as insufficient implementation and an incomplete ecosystem are gradually emerging during the rollout process. This paper focuses on the precision of technology implementation and the synergy of ecosystem collaboration. It provides an in-depth analysis of the current challenges facing AI-enabled mental health services in higher education and proposes targeted solutions. The aim is to offer practical references and feasible strategies for mental health services, thereby facilitating the deep integration of AI technology with university mental health services and fostering ecosystem synergy.

The Impact of 0-3 Years Old Childcare Services on Infant Development and Family Well-being: An Empirical Study
type: item
description: With the implementation of the three-child policy in China and the increasing demand for family childcare, 0-3 years old childcare services have become a key focus of social and policy attention. This study aims to systematically explore the impact of childcare services on infant development and family well-being, and identify the core influencing path of childcare services. Based on 208 valid questionnaires collected from parents of 0-3 years old infants, this study adopts a five-level Likert scale to measure the research variables, and uses descriptive statistical analysis, reliability and validity test, correlation analysis, difference analysis and mediation effect analysis to conduct empirical research. The results show that childcare services have a significant positive impact on infants' physical, cognitive, social and self-care development, and can effectively alleviate family parenting pressure, improve family relationships and life well-being. The adaptation and habit formation of infants in childcare institutions play a partial mediating role between childcare services and infant development, with a mediating effect ratio of 53.5%. In addition, childcare services have strong universality, and there is no significant difference in the evaluation of service effects among different family types and infant age groups. This study provides empirical evidence for optimizing the supply of childcare services and improving the quality of childcare services in China.

John Keats’ s Holistic Ecological View
type: item
description: John Keats was one of the representative poets of the second generation of Romanticism in England. During his lifetime, his poetic reputation was not recognized by society, and his works faced difficulties in publication, as well as frequent ridicule and reproach from critics. After his death, the poetic and theoretical value of his works was ultimately affirmed in literary history, with odes such as “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” “Ode to a Nightingale,” and “To Autumn” becoming timeless treasures in the history of poetry. Keats exerted a profound influence on the literary world, and Alfred Tennyson, the Poet Laureate of the Victorian era, held his poetry in the highest regard. This paper will employ ecocriticism to examine four poems— “O Solitude!” “Who Has Been Long in City Pent” “On the Grasshopper and Cricket ” and “Ode to a Nightingale”. By minimizing human subjectivity and amplifying the subjectivity of others (especially creatures of nature), Keats employed narrative strategies that reflect his emphasis on the importance of nature’s value. However, Keats occasionally reverted to an ego-centered narrative perspective, which was a necessary narrative strategy to critique anthropocentrism. Through this, Keats advocated an ecological holistic view: human beings should break free from the shackles of anthropocentrism, recognize the subjectivity of nature itself, and humans and nature can integrate as a whole and co-exist harmoniously.

Understanding Shostakovich’s preludes and fugues, Op. 87: A Pedagogical Perspective
type: item
description: This article examines Dmitri Shostakovich’s Twenty-Four Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, from a pedagogical perspective. Although the cycle is closely connected with Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, it also reflects Shostakovich’s own historical position, national identity, and personal expression. The article first places Op. 87 within the cultural and political context of Soviet music, especially the tension between public expectation and individual voice. It then discusses Russian and Jewish musical elements in the cycle and considers how these elements shape musical character. Finally, the article examines the relationship between tradition and innovation, showing how Shostakovich combines Baroque contrapuntal models with twentieth-century harmonic, rhythmic, and structural ideas. By connecting historical understanding with practical interpretation, this study argues that Op. 87 can help students develop both analytical awareness and expressive performance skills.

Research on the Improvement Path of Aesthetic Education Literacy for Science and Engineering College Students—From the Perspective of University Counselors’ Educational Field
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of the implementation of the educational policy of cultivating students through moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education, aesthetic education, as a crucial component to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, is deeply integrated with ideological and political education in colleges and universities. Rooted in frontline work including daily student administration, ideological guidance and practical education, university counselors serve as vital practitioners extending classroom-based aesthetic education to extracurricular settings and remedying the deficiency in humanistic aesthetic cultivation among science and engineering students. Compared with students majoring in humanities and social sciences, students of science and engineering are dominated by rational thinking due to heavy coursework, experimental training and competitions for scientific research, commonly plagued by narrow aesthetic cognition, insufficient initiative to participate in aesthetic education, weak humanistic foundation and deficient creative capacity for aesthetics. Reliance merely on general art courses fails to accomplish all-round aesthetic education objectives. Based on grassroots educational practice of university counselors, this paper sorts out relevant national policies on contemporary aesthetic education and existing academic findings, defines the theoretical connotations of aesthetic education and aesthetic literacy, and systematically summarizes the physical and cognitive characteristics of science and engineering undergraduates. It identifies prominent obstacles hindering the implementation of aesthetic education for such students from three dimensions: individual students, counselors’ educational practice and institutional guarantee on campus. Centering on counselors’ core duties covering ideological guidance, class construction, cultural and sports event organization, social practice tutoring as well as collabor…

Approaches to Thesis Topic Selection for Translation Majors under Industry-Education Integration
type: item
description: Industry-education integration has been identified as an important element in China’s higher education reform. Unfortunately, the topic selection in translation programs often fails to integrate structural elements, such as too much academia and inadequate industry. Issues with this process tend to be homogeneity, lack of practical relevance, and lack of collaboration between schools and enterprises. Based on industry-education integration, this paper diagnoses the present condition and existing issues regarding topic selection in translation programs and further explores how to develop theoretical foundation and implementation path of reform. This research shows that industry-education integration implies the following three changes: knowledge transfer into problem solving, linguistic conversion into competence-knowledge integration, and terminal evaluation into whole-course integration. Consequently, the three-dimensional framework “industry needs–pedagogy adaptation–student development” is proposed, and reform paths at four levels are outlined: mechanisms of institutions, topic resources, process management, and competence cultivation.

Ecological Reshaping of Blockchain Credit Banks Grounded in Philosophy of "Society as School"
type: item
description: The blockchain credit bank provides an implementation foundation for the philosophy of "society as school". The distributed nature of blockchain is highly consistent with Tao Xingzhi's educational philosophy of "society as school", but there is still an imbalance between "technical instrumental rationality" and "educational humanistic value". Therefore, this article studies the philosophical coupling mechanism between Tao Xingzhi's "society as school" and the distributed characteristics of blockchain. To promote the healthy development of the credit bank, through in-depth research on indicators such as the "education Gini coefficient" and "cultural dissemination contribution index" of the blockchain credit bank, and establishes a three-dimensional evaluation system for the blockchain credit bank, encompassing "hard infrastructure (technological support) + soft infrastructure (institutional coordination) + humanistic infrastructure (humanistic care).", and a "three-vertical and four-horizontal" digital education ecosystem model characterized by vertical integration and horizontal synergy is established. The concept of "Blockchain Credit Bank Maturity Index (BMI)" is proposed to scientifically quantify the level of regional education digitalization. A digital compensation algorithm is designed to inject humanistic care into the rigid blockchain data as an "intelligent layer". An innovative "dual-chain enhanced architecture of blockchain credit bank integrating digital compensation and cultural inheritance" is designed. This architecture not only records "what you have learned", but also evaluates "under what conditions, with how much effort you have learned, and what you have inherited for society", truly building a value Internet for lifelong learning in the future.

description: In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, and generative AI technologies, led by ChatGPT, have been increasingly applied and developed in the field of education. By conducting a visual analysis of the development of generative AI technology in education, this study aims to provide references and insights for subsequent in-depth research and research trends.This study employs bibliometric methods and utilizes CiteSpace software to conduct a visual analysis of journals related to generative AI and education published on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from 2023 to January 2025.The results indicate that, in terms of the volume of literature, research on generative AI in education is still in its early stages. Researchers are primarily concentrated in the education sector within universities, and collaboration between researchers and research institutions remains insufficient. Regarding research hotspots, “artificial intelligence,” “higher education,” and “educational transformation” are currently prominent areas of focus. Accordingly, this paper offers further conclusions and reflections to provide guidance for in-depth research, practical exploration, and progress in the application of generative AI within the education sector.

An Analysis of the Nineteenth- century Bildungsroman Engage with Ideas of ‘Self-help’ or ‘Self- culture’
type: item
description: According to Samuel Smiles mentioned in his classic work Self-Help:With illustrations of character and conduct, ‘Heaven helps those who help themselves.’ This quotation seems to clearly explain what self-help is. Smiles also interpreted it further, ‘The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual; and, exhibited in the lives of many, it constitutes the true source of national vigour and strength.’ This quotation recalls the title’s question I will explore in this essay that means self-help as a driving force for personal growth is the true source of a nation’s strength and prosperity. Therefore, when it comes to the connection between the ideas of ‘self-help’ or ‘self-culture’ and the nineteenth-century Bildungsroman, I hope to use two literary works as well as Samuel Smiles’s classic literary work Self-Help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct to explore this issue. Then, I will divide the structure of this essay into four parts. The literary works that I have chosen are Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations and Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure.

Research and Practice on Teaching Innovation of Experimental Courses for Electrical Engineering Majors from the Perspective of Industry-Education Integration
type: item
description: In view of the problems existing in the experimental courses of electrical engineering majors, such as insufficient connection between course content and industry, weak personalized support of teaching resources, and weak engineering practice orientation, an innovative experimental teaching system of "three-chain synergy, three-stage progression, and six-step guidance" is constructed based on the CDIO engineering education model and cognitive apprenticeship theory. By integrating the problem chain, resource chain, and mentor chain throughout the entire process of pre-class, in-class, and after-class, and through the hierarchical advancement of virtual simulation practice, hardware operation verification, and engineering innovation improvement, reconstruct the three-stage experimental content of "comprehensive design - engineering practice - innovative application", and create an integrated resource ecosystem of "digital twin + virtual simulation + cognitive apprenticeship", Establish a closed-loop evaluation system of "evaluation - feedback - improvement" that is data-driven, multi-collaborative, and ideological and political integrated. The curriculum is deeply integrated with elements of ideological and political education such as engineering ethics, craftsmanship, and patriotism, achieving a trinity of knowledge imparting, ability development, and value shaping. The teaching reform has significantly enhanced students' engineering practice, innovative design and job fit capabilities. In the past three years, students have won more than 30 national competition awards, 49 provincial-level and above innovation and entrepreneurship projects, and 63 authorized patents. The course has been recognized as a provincial first-class undergraduate course, a provincial model course for ideological and political education, and has received numerous honors such as the first prize of provincial teaching achievement and the second prize of teaching achievement of the Chinese Socie…

From "Growth Priority" to "Comprehensive Development": A Logical Test of the Complementarity between GDP and HDI
type: item
description: The disconnect between global economic growth and human development has become more and more obvious, which shows that using only GDP as a measurement has big limitations. This study uses panel data from China, Costa Rica, and Equatorial Guinea during 2000–2023, trying to empirically test how GDP and HDI can complement each other. The results reveal an intrinsic complementarity and a long-term equilibrium relationship between the two. The conventional elasticity coefficient is subject to computational artifacts due to the influence of the base value. The institutional environment and stage of development respectively determine the efficiency of transformation and the causal direction between GDP and HDI. This paper identifies three typical development models and proposes policy recommendations from three perspectives—the evaluation system, differentiated strategies, and international cooperation—so as to provide references for comprehensive development across countries.

Research on Modern Translation of Traditional Cultural Symbols in Visual Communication
type: item
description: In the dual context of globalization and digitalization, the modern translation of traditional cultural symbols has become a core issue in the field of visual communication design, connecting history and the future, and bridging the local and the world. This study systematically explores the underlying motivations, basic principles, specific strategies, and innovative practices of this translational process. The study finds that its motivation is not only due to the inherent needs of cultural inheritance and innovation, but also driven by the era of building a Chinese-style modern narrative system and reshaping cultural global identity. In the process of translation, core principles such as cultural gene identification and extraction, modern aesthetic adaptation, and cross-media communication efficiency should be followed. This study proposes and demonstrates systematic design strategies from morphological structure purification, color system transcoding, narrative logic reconstruction to multi-sensory experience integration. This paper deeply analyzes the latest cases such as the image system of the 2025 World Intelligent Industry Expo (Intelligent Industry Expo), and reveals how cutting-edge digital technology activates the spiritual core of traditional culture and realizes its profound transformation from "visual reproduction" to "value regeneration". The final study shows that successful modern translation is not a simple form of grafting, but a creative design language that makes traditional cultural symbols glow with new vitality in the contemporary social context and global perspective, providing theoretical support and practical path for the construction of a modern visual communication system with Chinese characteristics.

Challenges and Strategies in Managing Elementary School Information Technology Classes: A Case Study of Teaching Windows Paint to Third Graders
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of digital transformation in education and with the evolution of information technology curriculum philosophy, classroom discipline issues in elementary school information technology courses have taken on new complexities and challenges. Taking the teaching of the “Windows Paint” module in a third-grade class at a certain elementary school as a case study, this research analyzed classroom video recordings using ELAN multimodal annotation software to systematically examine students’ disciplinary behaviors, teachers’ response strategies, and the effectiveness of classroom management in information technology classes. The findings reveal that student discipline issues primarily manifest as inattention, careless operations, and a weak sense of rules, and are closely related to the organization of instructional content, the use of reward and punishment mechanisms, and students’ cognitive developmental stages. Based on the case analysis, this paper proposes eight management strategies, including establishing classroom routines, designing point-based reward and punishment systems, optimizing instructional content, utilizing verbal commands for management, and strengthening home-school collaboration. The study indicates that effective classroom discipline management should facilitate a transition from external control to internal self-discipline, thereby supporting the development of students’ self-regulation skills and their adaptation to digital learning environments.

Mediating Mechanisms and Intervention Strategies of the Bidirectional Relationship Between Mobile Phone Addiction and College Students' Depression
type: item
description: With the widespread popularity of smartphones among college students, smartphone addiction (SA) has become increasingly prominent and evolved into a critical public health issue threatening college students’ mental health. Existing studies have confirmed a significant bidirectional correlation between smartphone addiction and college students’ depression. The two interact through multiple mediating pathways including neurobiology, sleep quality, cognitive function, individual psychological factors and external support, thus forming a vicious cycle. This cycle not only impairs students’ academic performance and social functioning, but also poses long-term risks to their physical and mental health. This paper systematically summarizes the bidirectional correlation characteristics between smartphone addiction and college students’ depression, analyzes group differences caused by gender, region and major background, and elaborates on five core mediating mechanisms: neurobiology, sleep quality, cognitive function, individual psychology and external support. By integrating available evidence-based interventions, it proposes two categories of intervention strategies oriented by cognition-emotion regulation and behavioral remodeling, so as to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for mental health education and targeted intervention in colleges and universities.

Symbiotic Collaboration between Higher Vocational Education and the Private Economy: An Empirical Analysis Using the Industry-Education Symbiosis Index
type: item
description: This study investigates the coordinated development of higher vocational education and the private economy, which is important for industrial upgrading and the supply of skilled workers. However, schools are often highly motivated while companies remain indifferent, a contrast that limits the potential for collaboration between the two sides. Based on Symbiosis Theory, this paper uses standardized provincial panel data to construct an Industry‑Education Symbiosis Index (IESI). The index integrates three dimensions: Networked Resource Investment (NRI), Collaborative Process Integration (CPI) and Shared Harvest Impact (SHI). It is used to empirically evaluate dynamic cooperation in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2024. This study finds the IESI followed a non‑linear three‑stage evolution and recorded a cumulative increase of 123%. However, problems remain: limited participation of small and medium‑sized enterprises due to direct cost pressures, fluctuations in faculty resources caused by the evaluation system, a mismatch between talent supply and entrepreneurial demands, and unbalanced regional coordination. Drawing on Institutional Economics and Human Capital Theory, this paper proposes a three‑dimensional optimization path: restructuring the symbiotic return mechanism, reforming the academic evaluation incentive system, and fostering flexible skill adaptability. These findings provide a quantifiable diagnostic tool and an actionable policy framework for transitioning from transactional cooperation to deep institutional symbiosis in transitional economies. This study advances theory by applying Symbiosis Theory to construct an empirical Industry‑Education Symbiosis Index, revealing non‑linear evolution patterns and persistent mismatches in industry‑education collaboration. It offers a processual understanding of coordinated development between higher vocational education and the private economy, and provides a diagnostic framework for transitioning from transactional …

The Impact of Digital Rural Construction on Narrowing the Urban-Rural Income Gap
type: item
description: As a core strategy for advancing agricultural and rural modernization and breaking the urban-rural dual structure in the digital economy era, the implementation effects and impact mechanisms of digital rural construction have become key concerns in both academic research and policy making. Based on panel data from 41 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Delta region covering 2014–2023, this study constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system for digital rural development using the entropy method, and empirically examines its influence on the urban-rural income gap with a two-way fixed-effects model. The results show that digital rural construction can significantly reduce the urban-rural income disparity. This effect is mainly transmitted through two intermediate channels: raising the comparative labor productivity of agriculture and improving the average educational attainment of rural residents. Further analysis indicates that digital inclusive finance and digital governance capacity play particularly prominent roles in narrowing the income gap. Meanwhile, the income convergence effect of digital rural construction is more pronounced in resource-based cities, low-income regions, and areas with a relatively high share of agriculture.

A Study on the Ownership of Copyright for Online Courses in Higher Education Institutions under New Circumstances
type: item
description: The existing regulatory framework, established through contractual agreements, institutional regulations, and statutory provisions, has effectively reduced the incidence of disputes over the ownership of copyright in online courses. However, university online courses have recently exhibited new characteristics, including platform diversification, varied formats, and expanded interactivity. These new educational trends have significantly disrupted the existing copyright order, and numerous emerging issues regarding copyright ownership require urgent resolution. The practical approach to resolving copyright ownership issues for online courses should involve clearly defining the subject matter of copyright, conducting legality reviews of contractual agreements and institutional regulations, and establishing criteria for determining works created within the scope of employment.

Image Construction in The English Collaborative Translation of Brothers
type: item
description: Yu Hua’s novel Brothers is famous for its profound portrayal of the fate of characters under the dramatic changes in Chinese society, and its English translation plays a key role in cross-cultural communication. Based on the framework of Imagology theory, this study focuses on Eileen Cheng-yin Chow and Carlos Rojas joint translation, and in-depth investigations into how the translation reproduces and reconstructs the images in complex characters and aesthetic styles, aiming to systematically reveal the translator’s strategies of translation under the perspective of the ‘other’. The study finds that, driven by both the collective social imagination and the translator’s subjectivity, the translator, from the perspective of Imagology, has faithfully conveyed the original text’s intention and emotional tension while inevitably reconstructing the image of Brothers in the English translation, thus shaping the unique image of Brothers and China in the English-speaking world. This study provides concrete examples and theoretical reflections on the cross-cultural communication of Brothers.

Teaching Reform of Graduate Game Theory to Cultivate Independent Thinking and Complex Decision-Making in the Digital Age
type: item
description: This study proposes a digitally driven framework for graduate-level game theory teaching to cultivate higher-order competencies in the digital era. By integrating big data, AI agents, and simulation technologies, the reform shifts the pedagogical focus from mechanical equilibrium computation to strategic reasoning and complex decision-making. The proposed model reconstructs teaching through three dimensions: dynamic industry-oriented case repositories, human–AI strategic confrontation, and network-based evolutionary simulation environments. Through scenario-based practices, algorithmic auditing, and iterative decision simulations, the framework fosters independent thinking and cognitive autonomy. Furthermore, it introduces a trajectory-oriented evaluation system and reconceptualizes instructors as learning environment designers. This human–machine collaborative approach equips students to navigate uncertain strategic environments through reflective engagement with technological tools, providing both theoretical and practical guidance for advancing game theory education.

Assessment and Development Strategies for Creative Thinking Among Non-Music Teacher Training Students: A Case Study of the ‘Fundamentals of Music’ Course in Primary Education
type: item
description: Creative thinking is an important component of the core literacy of the 21st century and also the main purpose of aesthetic education reform in the new era. Primary education teacher trainees are the direct implementers of future basic education aesthetic education, and their creative thinking level directly affects the quality of primary school music education. However, currently non music major music foundation courses in universities generally have a structural problem of emphasizing skill imitation over thinking cultivation, and emphasizing knowledge transmission over teaching transformation. Based on Guilford's theory of creative thinking and the laws of music education, this article conducted a field survey of 240 students and 12 teachers from three normal universities across the country to explore the actual situation of cultivating music creative thinking among non music normal students. An evaluation system was created, which includes 5 first level dimensions and 18 second level indicators. After one semester of teaching practice, it was tested and concluded that the "knowledge deconstruction ability transfer thinking transition" training model is effective. The research results indicate that adopting the PBL-OBE integrated teaching model can significantly improve the music creative thinking level of non music teacher trainees, and the teaching transformation ability has also been improved by 32.7%. This article provides a feasible model for the reform of non professional art courses in universities.

Research on the Construction and Practical Path of a Clean Education System in Universities in the New Era
type: item
description: In the context of the New Era, the construction of a clean education system in Universities is crucial to fulfilling the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and ensuring the healthy development of higher education. At present, Universities still face certain integrity risks in power-concentrated fields including scientific research fund management, infrastructure bidding, student enrollment and admission, and professional title evaluation and recruitment. Student cadres also present problems such as insufficient awareness of standardized power exercise. Based on the perspective of ideological and political education, this study systematically explains the connotation, characteristics and practical dilemmas of clean education in Universities, integrates historical resources such as Sun Yat-sen’s thought on clean governance and Zhou Enlai’s spirit as well as local experience such as Zhejiang regional culture, and constructs a systematic clean education system for Universities from five dimensions: educational philosophy, curriculum design, practical carriers, supervision mechanisms and evaluation systems. On this basis, practical paths are put forward including deepening content construction, innovating educational carriers, strengthening subject coordination and improving institutional safeguards, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for clean education in Universities in the New Era.

The Epistemological Roots of AI Hallucination and Its Virtue-Based Governance
type: item
description: Large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, and they do so pervasively. This paper treats that fact as more than a technical defect. Drawing on phenomenology, epistemology, and the philosophy of science and technology, it argues that hallucination is an epistemological problem—what surfaces when generative AI operates without any relation to the world or any intentional structure. I begin with the generative mechanism itself: probabilistic next-token prediction, and the tension it creates between statistical correlation among symbols and semantic truth. A comparison of human and machine cognition then locates the deeper limit of the machine side in its lack of intentionality, embodiment, and practical feedback. Against this background I assess four governance pathways—Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), reinforcement-learning alignment, embodied intelligence, and neuro-symbolic AI—and the point at which each stalls. I further argue that current alignment techniques risk substituting preference for truth, and that sycophantic alignment can breed intellectual sloth and epistemic arrogance in users. On this basis the paper reconstructs the governance of hallucination within virtue epistemology, drawing individual prudence, institutional empowerment, and system design into one shared mechanism of human–machine epistemic responsibility—a way of protecting human cognitive sovereignty in the age of algorithms.

Study on Metacognitive Strategies Application among Chinese Interpretation EFL Learners Based on CSE (China Standard of English)
type: item
description: English-Chinese interpretation imposes significant demands on EFL learners listening abilities and their application of metacognitive strategies. The English listening Listening strategy scale and interpretation strategy scale, based on metacognitive strategy classification, serve as benchmarks for assessing learners metacognitive strategies and listening skills, while also providing references for interpretation instruction in China. However, in CSE contexts, EFL learners exhibit distinct metacognitive strategy characteristics and face challenges in implementing, evaluating/remedying, and assessing these strategies. Addressing the metacognitive strategy characteristics and difficulties encountered by EFL learners in English-Chinese interpretation listening, this paper proposes teaching approaches and recommendations from a project-based teaching perspective, focusing on three key areas: listening context design, training priorities, and integration of listening with other skills, thereby offering valuable insights for interpretation education.

Exploring China’s Legislative Framework for Copyright Protection of Video Games
type: item
description: The rapid growth of the video game industry in China has imposed pressing demands on current judicial practice, characterized by a surge in game-related copyright litigation alongside a persistent legislative lacuna. Currently, the piecemeal protection approach prevalent in Chinese judicial practice can, at best, be considered a temporary expedient. In an era of explosive industrial expansion, exploring a sound legislative framework for the legal relationships inherent in video games is not only of practical utility for dispute resolution, but also an urgent requirement dictated by technological evolution for the copyright legal regime.
