ALGORITHMS AS AGENDA SETTERS: THE CASE OF WEIBO'S ZHISOU AI AND ITS ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS IN CHINA'S MEDIA ECOLOGY
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in digital platforms, algorithms increasingly perform editorial functions such as selecting, ranking, summarizing, and circulating information. This study examines Weibo's Zhisou AI as a case of algorithmic agenda-setting in China's platform media environment. Drawing on agenda-setting theory, media ecology, and framing theory, the paper analyzes two Zhisou-related Weibo hot search topics concerning Sam’s Club China in July 2025: "#Sam's Club is becoming more and more like Walmart#" and "#Sam's Club responds to questions about declining product quality#." The study combines qualitative case analysis of Zhisou AI-generated explanations with public-facing platform indicators, including reading volume, discussion volume, interaction volume, ranking performance, media participation, and hot-search visibility records. A supplementary descriptive survey of 186 active social media users is also used to provide background insight into user perceptions of algorithmic influence and trust. The findings lead to three main conclusions. First, Zhisou AI does not simply summarize existing public discussion; it helps transform scattered consumer complaints into structured public issues by organizing causes, stakeholders, and emotional reactions. Second, algorithmic visibility operates through multiple signals rather than a single ranking metric. The "more like Walmart" case showed stronger peak ranking and broader cumulative diffusion, while the product-quality case generated stronger immediate engagement and longer hot-search duration. Third, AI-curated agenda-setting raises ethical concerns because the platform's summaries and visibility indicators may influence users' understanding of controversy while remaining only partially transparent. This study argues that AI-curated systems are becoming important actors in shaping issue visibility, public interpretation, and the distribution of online attention.

COMMUNITY ELDERLY-CARE SERVICE DEMAND PREDICTION BASED ON STATE RECURSION AND CONSUMPTION-CONSTRAINED CORRECTION
This paper develops a demand-prediction framework for embedded community elderly-care service stations by combining state recursion, service-frequency estimation, and consumption-constrained correction. First, a three-state elderly population recursion model is established for self-care, semi-disabled, and disabled residents. Initial community population structures, natural mortality, newly added elderly ratios, and health-state transition probabilities are used to predict the population of each group over a five-year period. Second, the predicted elderly population is converted into theoretical monthly demand for meal assistance, day care, home-based nursing, rehabilitation physiotherapy, bathing assistance, and emergency rescue. Third, income level, available consumption proportion, service price, and free emergency assistance are introduced to revise chargeable demand under affordability constraints. The results indicate that the total elderly population grows steadily, disabled elderly residents increase markedly, communities C and G generate the highest service pressure, and chargeable demand is reduced unevenly across elderly groups after consumption constraints are considered, providing evidence for service-station capacity and resource allocation decisions.

GAUSSIAN SPLATTING FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE DIGITIZATION: TECHNICAL POSITIONING, APPLICATION SCENARIOS, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Cultural heritage digitization is increasingly shifting from static geometric recording toward immersive, interactive, and scene-based representation. Within this technological transformation, Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a promising approach for image-driven three-dimensional visualization, offering photorealistic rendering, spatial continuity, and real-time free-viewpoint navigation. This article examines the role of Gaussian Splatting in cultural heritage digitization by situating it within the broader evolution from manual modeling, laser scanning, photogrammetry, and SfM-MVS reconstruction to neural rendering. It argues that Gaussian Splatting should be understood primarily as a rendering-oriented scene representation rather than as a substitute for measurement-oriented point clouds, mesh models, BIM/HBIM, or GIS-based heritage information systems. On this basis, the article discusses its potential applications in architectural heritage, archaeological sites, caves and grottoes, museum collections, virtual museums, and digital cultural tourism. It further analyzes key methodological stages, including data acquisition, pose estimation, Gaussian representation and optimization, quality evaluation, semantic segmentation, multi-source fusion, and platform deployment. While Gaussian Splatting provides strong advantages in visual realism and interactive access, its limitations in geometric measurability, semantic organization, long-term interoperability, and conservation-grade documentation must be carefully addressed. The article concludes that the future value of Gaussian Splatting lies not in replacing established digitization methods, but in connecting visual scenes with measurement data, semantic annotation, archival systems, and public-facing platforms, thereby contributing to more integrated, accessible, and sustainable cultural heritage digital infrastructures.

BEHIND THE MILLION PLAYS: GENDER DIFFERENCES IN CREATOR INFLUENCE ON CHINESE SHORT-VIDEO PLATFORMS
This paper examines gender differences in creator influence on Chinese short-video platforms using creator-video micro-data from Chanmama and Douyin. The analysis treats platform influence as an interaction-diffusion process shaped by account resources, content categories, creator tiers, and creative effort. The results show that the average female coefficient is negative but not uniformly significant after controlling for account size and video characteristics. Gender differences are instead conditional: they are concentrated in humanities and social sciences content, among tail creators, and in the weaker conversion of recent publishing effort into likes, comments, and composite interaction-diffusion outcomes. The findings indicate that gender inequality on short-video platforms is not only an outcome gap but also a process-level return gap in the transformation of comparable creative inputs into platform interaction.

DESK-BASED TAX RISK IDENTIFICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION ENTERPRISES BASED ON TAX BURDEN AND FINANCIAL INDICATOR ANALYSIS
This paper develops an independent academic article from the desk analysis section of the source document. Using Company A as the research object, the study examines tax payment details from 2019 to 2023, tax burden rates for value-added tax, land value-added tax, corporate income tax, real estate tax, and urban land use tax, as well as individual income tax risks related to personnel types, income sources, wage categories, and year-end bonus taxation. The analysis shows that Company A's value-added tax burden rate rose from 4.57% in 2019 to 16.39% in 2023, exceeding the reference level of about 3.5% for general taxpayers in the construction industry and indicating possible risks in input invoice acquisition and deduction management. Land value-added tax, corporate income tax, real estate tax, and urban land use tax burden rates remain below industry reference levels, suggesting possible underpayment, revenue recognition, cost deduction, or asset tax-base issues. The individual income tax analysis identifies risks caused by complex personnel structures, multiple income channels, and year-end bonus sensitive intervals. Financial indicator matching further detects abnormal relationships among revenue, cost, and profit changes. The study provides a structured desk-based framework for identifying tax compliance risks in construction enterprises.

PROTECTION WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT: THE POLICY LOGIC, IMPLEMENTATION, AND REFORM OF CHINA’S OCCUPATIONAL INJURY PROTECTION PILOT FOR PLATFORM WORKERS
China hosts the world’s largest platform workforce: roughly 84 million people in “new forms of employment”, most of them outside standard labour law and the employment-based work-injury insurance that depends on it. Since 2022 the Chinese state has answered with a distinctive instrument, a status-neutral occupational injury protection scheme funded by platforms through a small charge on every order and triggered by the work rather than by an employment relationship. This article evaluates that pilot. It reconstructs the policy logic, reading the scheme as a case of Chinese policy experimentation that deliberately decouples social protection from employment status. It documents the design and the 2022 to 2026 implementation, during which the pilot grew from seven provinces to seventeen, lifted enrollment from 8.9 to 25.1 million, and set a course for nationwide coverage in 2026. It places the scheme in international perspective and finds no close analogue for its per-order, platform-funded, mandatory model. It then identifies the gaps that remain, namely single-risk coverage, thin evidence on claims and adequacy, unresolved worker status, weak portability, and the fragility of the move from pilot to permanent institution, and the reform pathways each implies. The pilot shows that social protection can be decoupled from employment and funded at the level of the transaction. Whether it becomes a durable, portable, multi-risk floor will be decided in the scaling and legislation now under way.

INTERDISCIPLINARY INTEGRATED EDUCATION IN ART AND DESIGN AT TRANSPORTATION-ORIENTED UNIVERSITIES UNDER THE NEW ENGINEERING FRAMEWORK
Under the New Engineering framework, art and design programs at transportation-oriented universities face persistent problems, including fragmented curricula and weak collaborative mechanisms, which hinder the cultivation of high-quality, application-oriented interdisciplinary professionals. Guided by the interdisciplinary integration of “design + engineering,” this study employs structural analysis and comparative case analysis to examine four dimensions: educational objectives, curriculum design, project-based practice, and institutional support. It proposes an integrated teaching pathway consisting of a task chain, a course chain, and an output chain; develops a competency map aligned with the needs of the transportation sector; and introduces a model driven by multi-role collaboration and authentic projects. Through horizontal curriculum integration, dual-track collaborative teaching, and university–enterprise co-development, the study initially establishes a replicable and scalable interdisciplinary education system. The findings indicate that building an interdisciplinary curriculum system together with institutional support mechanisms can strengthen the systematic and engineering-oriented character of design education, providing a key pathway for the transformation of design programs and the improvement of talent quality at transportation-oriented universities.

JUDICIAL DETERMINATION AND INSTITUTIONAL RECONSTRUCTION OF SUBORDINATION IN PLATFORM EMPLOYMENT: CENTERED ON THE ADJUDICATIVE LOGIC OF “LOOK-THROUGH REVIEW”
In platform employment, enterprises leverage algorithmic control alongside contractual arrangements—such as service agreements and registration as sole proprietors—to create a paradigm of "strong managerial control and weak legal ties." In response, judicial practice has spontaneously developed an adjudicative logic of "look-through review," drawing on the corporate law doctrine of "piercing the corporate veil" and the financial regulatory principle of "substance over form." This logic requires adjudicators to set aside commercial formalities and directly examine the true intensity of personal, economic, and organizational subordination. However, case-by-case look-through review cannot overcome the fragmentation of adjudicative standards or the "all-or-nothing" dilemma of binary protection. It is therefore necessary to introduce "employee-like persons" as a third-category legal subject, defined by the core elements of personal performance of work and significant economic reliance on the platform. Guided by the principle of proportionality, a graduated protection system should be established: mandatory occupational injury coverage for all platform workers; limited collective bargaining rights and a minimum income guarantee for employee-like persons; and full labor law protection only for those exhibiting strong personal subordination. This framework seeks a dynamic balance between safeguarding workers' rights and ensuring the sustainable development of the platform economy.

REASON, WISDOM, AND HUMAN FLOURISHING - ARISTOTLE AND CROSS-TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION
This paper examines Aristotle’s educational philosophy through the interconnected concepts of reason, wisdom, and eudaimonia, or human flourishing. It contends that Aristotle viewed education not only as the acquisition of information, but also as a process of nurturing virtue, reasonable judgment, and intellectual superiority. The paper shows how interdisciplinary learning helps to a more comprehensive understanding of reality and human aims by examining Aristotle's taxonomy of knowledge and his concept of practical wisdom. The study also looks at connections between Aristotelian philosophy and other intellectual traditions, particularly the quest of wisdom as a guiding principle for education and human growth. In the context of current education, which is frequently marked by disciplinary fragmentation and examination-oriented learning, Aristotle's integrated perspective provides useful insights into holistic education, knowledge unification, and the cultivation of human flourishing.

INSTITUTIONAL ISOMORPHISM IN GLOBAL MUSEUM QUALITY ASSURANCE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FIVE ACCREDITATION SYSTEMS
Museum accreditation has become a global instrument for defining institutional quality, yet the systems that administer it operate in radically different political economies. This study asks why accreditation systems embedded in such different states have come to resemble one another, through which mechanisms that resemblance was produced, and where it stops. Drawing on the theory of institutional isomorphism, it conducts a structured, focused comparison of five major systems: the American Alliance of Museums accreditation programme, the Arts Council England Accreditation Scheme, the International Council of Museums, the Chinese national museum grading system, and the Japanese public-interest certification regime. Each system is profiled against a common template and then compared across the three isomorphic mechanisms of coercive, mimetic, and normative pressure. The analysis finds strong convergence across all five systems on the vocabulary of the good museum, on standards-based evaluation, on periodic review, and on a shared professional ethics. Convergence is driven by coercive pressure where accreditation gates public funding, as in England and China; by mimetic borrowing from the prestigious American model; and by normative diffusion of the scripts authored by the international council. Convergence is not total, however. The two East Asian cases adopt international forms while routing them through distinctive national logics, so that shared architecture serves different ends. The paper argues for a convergence-with-decoupling thesis and proposes translation as a complement to the three classic mechanisms, capturing how globally shared forms are reshaped as they cross into national institutional settings.

NEW FEATURES AND NEW PATTERNS OF THE ECONOMIC RADIATION OF KUNMING CITY TO ITS SURROUNDING AREA
Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province, a Southwest Frontier Province in China. It is also one of the most important central cities in the southwestern frontier region of China. The Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration plays an important role in the economic development of Southwest China and East Asia. In recent years, the situation of Kunming to its surrounding radiation areas shows some new features and patterns. Based on the panel data of cities and counties in the urban agglomerations in central Yunnan from 2015 to 2019, this paper uses spatial econometrics method to research the radiation pattern of Kunming, which is the central city of Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration to its surrounding economic circle. The results show that unlike previous observations, the radiation pattern of Kunming to the central Yunnan region is dominated by the "regurgitation-feeding" effect, and the collaborative development effect of urban agglomerations has started to emerge.

THE SPATIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN XINJIANG AND TRADITIONAL VILLAGE AND ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS
This investigation examines the spatial associations and distributional attributes of traditional village settlements and intangible cultural heritage (ICH) across Xinjiang through the application of kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation metrics, bivariate spatial correlation analysis, and geodetector modeling techniques. These analytical approaches were employed to characterize spatial differentiation patterns and identify underlying determinants. Kernel density analysis combined with spatial statistical methods revealed the aggregate distributional features of national-level ICH throughout Xinjiang and assessed the impacts of topographic conditions, hydrological accessibility, GDP levels, and population concentration on heritage distribution patterns. Principal findings indicate that: (1) the majority of traditional village settlements and ICH sites concentrate in low-elevation plain and oasis environments, with spatial configurations generally conforming to major mountain system orientations; (2) both traditional villages and ICH exhibit pronounced spatial heterogeneity, with principal concentration zones predominantly clustered in the Changji–Urumqi corridor; (3) topographic elevation demonstrates the strongest explanatory power for ICH spatial distribution, followed by GDP, river network accessibility, and population density, while the interactive effect between elevation and hydrological conditions exhibits the greatest explanatory capacity; (4) for traditional village distribution, GDP and river system accessibility exert comparatively stronger influences, and the combined interaction between GDP and elevation makes the most substantial contribution to spatial differentiation. These results demonstrate that cultural heritage resource configurations in Xinjiang reflect the joint influences of natural environmental parameters and socio-economic development trajectories.

THE REASONS BEHIND TIKTOK SHORT VIDEOS' GLOBAL SUCCESS
With the advancement of economic globalization, China's internet-related businesses have developed at an astonishing pace in recent years, with internet communication platforms flourishing like a hundred flowers in bloom. Compared to the traditional video industry, internet short-video platforms have rapidly amassed a vast audience thanks to their advantages such as rapid dissemination, extensive information coverage, rich content, strong timeliness, and convenient search capabilities. Among numerous short-video apps, Douyin stands out as the most popular and highest-downloaded platform. TikTok's user base, built through its "audio-visual integration" combined with "algorithmic recommendation," far exceeds that of various print media relying solely on visual communication. Moreover, TikTok's user base continues to grow steadily. By analyzing the content, production methods, and dissemination models of TikTok videos, this paper identifies key reasons why users are drawn to Douyin's short videos. Finally, based on these findings, the paper advocates for users to proceed steadily in this fast-paced era of media development, cultivate a scientific understanding, adopt a dialectical perspective toward TikTok content, and utilize the platform rationally—to internalize its valuable content as personal knowledge and transform it into a useful tool, rather than becoming mere victims in this age of rapid content dissemination.

THEORETICAL DISCUSSION ON EYE MOVEMENT DIFFERENCES IN SERVICE ANTICIPATION OF COLLEGE TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS UNDER DIFFERENT EMOTIONS
Table tennis demands rapid visual processing and precise predictive judgment, where emotional fluctuations significantly interfere with cognitive processes such as attention allocation and information extraction. College table tennis athletes, as a key transitional group, exhibit distinct eye movement patterns in service anticipation under different emotional states. This study adopts a theoretical analysis method to systematically explore the eye movement differences and internal cognitive mechanisms of college table tennis players during service anticipation under positive and negative emotions, and further reveals the chain interaction relationship among emotion, eye movement and service anticipation. The results show that positive emotions promote efficient visual search characterized by concentrated fixation and reasonable saccade, improving anticipation accuracy; negative emotions trigger conservative search strategies with scattered attention and prolonged processing time, reducing anticipation efficiency. Athletic experience and mental skills play a moderating role in the emotion-anticipation relationship, and college athletes are more vulnerable to negative emotional interference. In conclusion, emotions reshape eye movement features to determine the quality of service information sampling, forming a chain mediation effect. Targeted emotional regulation and visual search training can effectively optimize college athletes’ service anticipation performance.

“BETWEEN ELEGANCE AND EARTHINESS”: ON THE WRITING AESTHETICS OF ACADEMIC AND FOLK LITERATURE
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, contemporary Chinese literature has gradually developed two representative writing orientations: academic writing and folk writing. These two literary approaches demonstrate significant differences in language style, narrative strategy, thematic sources, and aesthetic orientation, yet they share profound commonalities in their commitment to realism, humanistic concern, and reflection on social transformation. Yuan Ping's Xiao Shijing can be regarded as a representative example of academic writing, characterized by intellectual refinement, cultural literacy, and structural sophistication, while Zhu Renfeng's Jinshui Hujia exemplifies folk-oriented rural writing rooted in lived experience, colloquial realism, and emotional immediacy. By taking these two works as comparative case studies, this paper examines their differences in writing techniques from four perspectives: language expression, narrative strategy, material selection, and aesthetic orientation. It further argues that despite stylistic divergence, both writing traditions converge in their literary spirit through shared realism, concern for human complexity, and sensitivity to the transformations of contemporary Chinese society. This comparative study contributes to a deeper understanding of the coexistence, interaction, and potential mutual enrichment between elite literary writing and folk narrative traditions in contemporary Chinese literature.

PREDICTING ADOLESCENT SPORTS PARTICIPATION BEHAVIOR AND IDENTIFYING AT-RISK GROUPS
Adolescence is a critical stage for the formation of sports-related behaviors and healthy lifestyles. The level of sports participation during this period is closely associated not only with physical health, but also with psychological development and social adaptation. However, insufficient sports participation remains a widespread issue among adolescents, with substantial disparities across different subgroups. Against this background, this study develops a multidimensional analytical framework for predicting adolescent sports participation behavior and identifying at-risk groups from the perspectives of individual, family, school, and social-environmental factors. The study aims to reveal the key determinants of sports participation and to identify adolescents who are at heightened risk of insufficient participation. Using questionnaire survey data collected from adolescent students, this study employs descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and risk identification methods to examine the overall characteristics, key predictors, and high-risk groups of adolescent sports participation. The findings indicate that adolescent sports participation shows clear subgroup differences, with gender, school stage, and family support being closely associated with participation outcomes. Further analysis demonstrates that exercise interest, self-efficacy, parental support, and school sports opportunities are important positive predictors of sports participation, whereas academic pressure, excessive screen time, and insufficient support conditions constrain participation to varying degrees. In addition, girls, students in higher school stages, and adolescents with relatively weak family and school support are more likely to be identified as high-risk groups for insufficient sports participation. The study argues that adolescent sports participation is not shaped by a single factor, but rather by the joint influence of multiple dimensions. Efforts to promote adolescent sports participation should therefore move beyond general advocacy and place greater emphasis on targeted intervention based on risk identification. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying adolescent sports participation and provide empirical implications for school-based sports promotion, family support strategies, and related policy development.

EVALUATION AND EARLY WARNING OF GOVERNMENT NEW MEDIA INFORMATION DISSEMINATION EFFECTIVENESS IN PUBLIC EMERGENCIES
This study focuses on evaluating and early warning the effectiveness of information dissemination by government new media during public emergencies. Based on a literature review, it defines the concept of dissemination effectiveness and constructs a four-dimensional analytical framework, including timeliness, content quality, interactive responsiveness, and communication guidance. An evaluation index system is developed to measure performance across different stages using normalized data, and a composite index is further constructed for dynamic early warning analysis. The results show significant stage-based differences and fluctuations in dissemination effectiveness. In the initial stage, timeliness is the main strength, while interaction and guidance are relatively weak. As events evolve, content quality, responsiveness, and guidance improve, and the composite index exhibits a pattern of initial decline followed by recovery. Early warning analysis indicates that major risks stem from insufficient follow-up updates, limited explanatory capacity, delayed responses, and low sensitivity to public opinion changes. This study provides theoretical and practical insights for optimizing government information release and improving emergency communication systems.

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF AI TOOLS OF XIAOHONGSHU IN DEVELOPING CREDIBLE CONTENTS SHARING BEHAVIOR AMONG CHINESE POPULATION
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, social media platforms are increasingly reliant on AI tools in content creation, recommendation, and sharing. This study uses Xiaohongshu, a representative social e-commerce platform in China, as a case study to explore the role and impact of AI tools in promoting users' credible content sharing behavior. The research focuses on how AI-driven technologies such as natural language processing, machine learning, sentiment analysis, and banned word detection enhance content authenticity and user trust, and analyzes their effectiveness in addressing issues such as fake reviews, algorithmic bias, and information opacity. Considering China's unique cultural background, user characteristics (primarily Millennials and Generation Z), and government regulatory policies, this study systematically examines the influence mechanisms of variables such as users' perceived credibility of AI tools, media effectiveness, and socio-cultural factors on content sharing behavior. By addressing six research questions and six research objectives, this paper aims to reveal the potential and challenges of AI tools in building a credible content ecosystem, providing theoretical and practical references for platform governance, AI ethical design, and digital trust construction.

THE ALIENATION OF BUSINESS ETHICS IN THE AGE OF ALGORITHMS: THE CASE OF BYTEDANCE’S AI RECRUITMENT SYSTEM
Amid the digital wave driven by the pursuit of extreme efficiency, ByteDance has achieved millisecond-level responses in human resources screening through its proprietary AI recruitment system; however, this has also triggered a profound crisis in business ethics. This study focuses on the operational mechanisms and controversies surrounding this system, conducting a penetrating analysis through a three-dimensional framework of “Justice-Dignity-Responsibility”. The research finds that, while the system’s core logic of “fitting historical optimality” has reduced recruitment costs, it has, at the technical level, solidified and amplified historical biases regarding dimensions such as educational background and region, thereby deviating from Rawls’s “Principle of Difference”. In terms of dignity, the system reduces job seekers to feature vectors, and its panopticon-style surveillance and evaluation trigger widespread “surveillance anxiety”, leading to the dissolution of job seekers’ agency. Regarding responsibility, the coupling of organizational incentive mechanisms with algorithmic black boxes causes a systemic breakdown in the chain of accountability, creating a vacuum where “no one is held responsible”. This study reveals the deep-seated paradox of ethical compromise under efficiency-driven systems and argues that algorithmic governance must urgently shift from purely commercial logic toward a sustainable balance between efficiency and justice.

"LIGHT OF LOGIC" AI-MATHEMATICS INTEGRATED TRAINING SYSTEM: A STUDY ON STRENGTHENING SPECIAL CHILDREN'S THINKING AND COGNITION BASED ON ALGORITHMIC ART INTERVENTION
For children with special difficulties in thinking and cognition, traditional intervention methods are often single-dimensional. This project attempts to break disciplinary boundaries and creatively integrate Luban fasteners, a traditional Chinese educational toy, with AI-assisted voice dialogue, painting, clay modeling and other visual arts to form a three-dimensional integrated intervention training program of "traditional educational tools - intelligent interactive technology - expressive art therapy". The project was carried out in a local children's welfare institute with 12 special children for a 4-week training period. Through pre-post comparison and process observation, it was found that compared with peers who only watched animations and played freely, children who received the integrated training had better attention span, work organization and basic logical thinking. We found that mathematical games act as a solid framework for thinking, AI dialogue serves as a patient thinking navigator, and artistic creation becomes a "safe outlet" for emotions and ideas - the three are not simply superimposed, but promote each other, producing an effect of 1+1+1>3.

FROM CEREMONY TO CAMPUS SPORTS: IDENTITY RECONSTRUCTION OF THE YI FUNERAL DANCE KAHONGBEI RESEARCH ON THE INHERITANCE PATH OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
This paper takes the Yi funeral ritual dance "Kahongbei" as the research object. Through literature review, participant observation, and anaf the action recordings of Kahongbei, this study investigates the feasibility of its transmission within the context of university physical education. The research reveals that the 25 traditional dance segmenof Kahongbei embody cultural connotations related to Yi hunting, farming, communal cooperation, and expressions of life and death. However, current social transmission faces challenges such as the dissolution of rital contexts, weakening of kinship bonds, and generational disconnection in family transmission, as well as structural deficiencies in educational ecosystems and curriculum systems within school transmission. The study proposes establishing an ticity-based action preservation database, enhancing the cultural symbol translation and sports-oriented deconstruction of Kahongbei, promoting university pilot programs and tiered teaching, and strengthening faculty development and professional capacty building. These measures aim to facilitate the transition of the Yi traditional dance Kahongbei from a funeral ritual to a campus sports activity, providing a theoretical foundation of "action-coure-education" trinity for the living transmission of ethnic traditional sports dances.

WHY THE SILENCE? MULTIDIMENSIONAL BARRIERS AND AN INTEGRATED EXPLANATION FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF OFFLINE PROFESSIONAL HELP AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH DEPRESSION: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Many individuals with depression who need treatment do not seek professional help. This paper systematically reviews the main barriers to offline help-seeking among people with depression through a literature review and provides an integrated analysis from the perspectives of individual psychology, cognition, structural factors, sociocultural context, and digital environment. The findings show that stigma, fear of seeking help, structural barriers, cognitive biases, personality traits, and the substitution effect of the digital environment interact to create a complex, layered barrier to help-seeking. Although existing interventions can help improve help-seeking intentions, they often fail to convert these intentions into actual help-seeking behavior, revealing an “intention-behavior gap.” This paper also proposes an integrated explanatory framework and offers implications for digital mental health services and science communication.

THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE“THREE TALENTS ”SYSTEMIC THINKING OF THE YIJING ON CORPORATE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
In the face of the global environmental crisis and the structural dilemma of the dislocation of short-term interests and long-term risks in the transformation of enterprises, this paper introduces the systematic thinking of " YiJing " and " San Cai " ( heaven, earth and human ), and constructs a new paradigm of sustainable development of enterprises suitable for the VUCA era. The article first explains the philosophical connotation of "San cai" as a dynamic ontology:" Tian" corresponds to the macro trend and strategic positioning, emphasizing the adaptation to the current situation and periodic rhythm; with "land" corresponding to resource endowment and green operation, it advocates local conditions and full life cycle management ; with" people" corresponding stakeholders and value co-creation, ethical governance and harmonious symbiosis are advocated. On this basis, this paper deeply analyzes the systematic coordination mechanism of the " three talents " dimension, and puts forward that enterprises need to shift from passive compliance to active guidance, and realize the unity of economic and social ecological benefits by reconstructing the dynamic resonance of strategy, resources and people. The research shows that the integration of oriental holism wisdom and modern management science not only makes up for the shortcomings of the western reductionism framework in dealing with complex adaptive systems, but also provides theoretical guidance and practical path with cultural embeddedness and global competitiveness for enterprises to realize the transition from " survival" to " symbiosis" under the dual carbon goal.

THE EMOTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS OF CHINESE NEWS HEADLINES: A DIACHRONIC ANALYSIS BASED ON THE PAPER
This study investigates the emotional distribution, section-specific characteristics, and evolutionary trends of news headlines from The Paper (2019.3–2025.3) using text mining and sentiment analysis. Results show that the headlines exhibit distinct emotional traits: neutrality as the core, a slight predominance of positivity, and concentrated negativity, with rationally controlled emotional intensity. Significant differences exist across sections: Current Affairs is neutral-dominant with mild positivity, Social News features diverse emotions with the highest negative proportion, Technology is predominantly positive, and Entertainment is positive-led with varied moods. Temporally, the emotional orientation presents "long-term stability with periodic fluctuations," influenced by major events and policy cycles. This research provides empirical insights for emotional headline operation in new media and enriches case studies of Chinese news short text sentiment analysis.

INFLUENCING FACTORS ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' INNOVATIVE LITERACY BASED ON SEM: TAKING PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN GUANGDONG PROVINCE AS A CASE STUDY
Under the background of the national strategy of innovation-driven development and the deepening advancement of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" education in higher education institutions, this study focuses on 210 undergraduate students from private universities in Guangdong Province. Based on social cognitive theory and ecological systems theory, a four-dimensional model comprising "individual-teacher-university-national policy" was constructed. Innovative self-efficacy was introduced as a mediating variable, with empirical analysis conducted using SPSS and Amos. Results indicate that university students' innovative awareness, teaching resources, institutional training mechanisms, and national policies all demonstrate significant positive direct correlations with innovative literacy, among which innovative awareness exhibits the strongest association intensity. The four-dimensional factors also show significant positive correlations with innovative self-efficacy, which plays a mediating role in the relationships between these factors and innovative literacy. This study provides an empirical basis for private universities to optimize their innovation education systems.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended teaching model combining BOPPPS and OBE in enhancing practical competence, clinical reasoning, self-directed learning, and innovative capacity among MNS students in the Advanced Health Assessment course. Methods: This quasi-experimental controlled study was conducted at Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities. Using cluster sampling, 2023 MNS students were assigned to the experimental group (BOPPPS-OBE blended teaching) and 2024 MNS students to the control group (lecture-based teaching). Both groups completed 48 classes of identical content. The primary outcome was practical competence assessed via OSCE. Secondary outcomes included professional knowledge, professional quality, research and innovation, clinical reasoning, practical competence, and practical innovation capability. Outcomes were assessed post-intervention. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests or Mann–Whitney U tests (p<0.05). Results: A total of 110 students were enrolled, with 50 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher OSCE scores (mean ± SD: 92.04±3.49 vs. 86.45±5.95, p<0.001). Secondary outcomes also favored the experimental group, including professional knowledge, professional quality, research and innovation, clinical reasoning, practical competence, and practical innovation capability. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: The BOPPPS-OBE blended teaching model significantly improved practical competence, clinical reasoning, self-directed learning ability, and innovative capacity among MNS students compared to conventional instruction. This integrated approach offers an evidence-based pedagogical strategy for cultivating advanced practice competencies and may inform curricular reforms in graduate nursing education.

EMPOWERING SPORTS SOCIAL WORK: LINGUISTIC INTERVENTION STRATEGIES AND RESOURCE PEDIGREES
As the "Leading Sports Nation" strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) deepen, the scope for sports social work to professionally engage in major foreign-related sports events and international sports assistance is expanding significantly. However, current sports social work professionals frequently face a dual predicament: a scarcity of language tools and a deficit in cross-cultural competence. This dilemma often leads to a "loss of professional voice," thereby severely constraining service efficacy. Grounded in Empowerment Theory, this paper draws on major foreign-related sports events and mountain rescue operations in Guizhou as a contextual blueprint to propose the construction of a language resource pedigree for sports social work. This pedigree encompasses event crisis intervention, bilingual care for special populations, and cross-cultural conflict mediation. Building upon this foundation, the study proposes language intervention strategies from three dimensions—scenario-based simulation, digital tool assistance, and field supervision and feedback—to enhance the international service capacity of sports social workers. Ultimately, these strategies aim to cultivate versatile practitioners equipped with both global perspectives and local action capabilities, thereby advancing the modernization of regional sports governance.
