Interpersonal physiological synchrony has been consistently found during collaborative tasks. However, few studies have applied synchrony to predict collaborative learning quality in real classroom. To explore the relationship between interpersonal physiological synchrony and collaborative learning activities, this study collected electrodermal activity and heart rate during naturalistic class sessions and compared the physiological synchrony between independent task and group discussion task. The students were recruited from a renowned university in China. Since each student learn differently and not everyone prefers collaborative learning, participants were sorted into collaboration and independent dyads based on their collaborative behaviors before data analysis. The result showed that, during group discussions, high collaboration pairs produced significantly higher synchrony than low collaboration dyads. Given the equivalent engagement level during independent and collaborative tasks, the difference of physiological synchrony between high and low collaboration dyads was triggered by collaboration quality. Building upon this result, the classification analysis was conducted, indicating that EDA synchrony can identify different levels of collaboration quality.

The variability of extreme summer precipitation over Circum-Bohai-Sea region during 1961-2008 was investigated based on the daily precipitation data of 63 meteorological stations using the linear regression method, the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test, and the continuous wavelet transform method. The results showed that there were large spatial differences in the trends of extreme summer precipitation indices. Decreasing trends were found in summer total precipitation, extreme precipitation frequency, intensity and proportion, the maximum consecutive wet days, and the maximum 1- and 5-day precipitation, and the largest decrease was observed in the central coast area, although the trends were not statistically significant at the 5% level at most places. Inversely, the maximum consecutive dry days exhibited non-significant increasing trends. Additionally, the significant 2-4-year periods were detected for eight indices, showing the significant interannual variability of extreme summer precipitation. Overall, the results of this study indicated that in the last 48 years, there was severe water stress over Circum-Bohai-Sea region, especially in the central coast area, which exerted negative effects on economic development and natural ecosystems

Relevance deprivation syndrome refers to feelings of incompetence among retired people caused by them leaving their high status or influential jobs. The question then arises: do people in positions of power, like Danwei leaders in China, have a lower life satisfaction post-retirement compared to other groups? This study investigated the influence of serving as a Danwei leader before retirement on retirees’ life satisfaction, as well as differences in this influence and the channels through which they are affected. Based on the data of 5,873 respondents of the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey, ordinary least-squares, ordered logistic regression, and propensity score matching models were used to investigate the influence, differences, and influential mechanisms of serving as a Danwei leader before retirement on retirees’ life satisfaction. We found that Danwei leaders experience a significantly positive impact on their life satisfaction post-retirement. Second, the positive impact of having served in this role on peoples’ post-retirement life satisfaction is related to the resulting higher income, social status, and better living habits. In contrast to the perspective of relevance deprivation syndrome, in China, having been a Danwei leader before retirement has a significantly positive impact on peoples’ life satisfaction post-retirement, with there being a significant difference observed among different types of retired Danwei leaders.

The present study explored the correlation between music preference and mental health of college students to make an empirical contribution to research in this field. The self-reported music preference scale and positive mental health scale of college students were adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey in college students. Common method variance was conducted to test any serious common method bias problem. No serious common method bias problem was observed. The results showed that college students’ preference for pop music, Western classical music, and Chinese traditional music has a significant and positive correlation with their mental health. Furthermore, college students’ preference for heavy music has a significant and inverse correlation with their mental health. This research presents a correlational study; therefore, no causality can be inferred.

Purpose: Discuss the relationship among college students’ media internalized pressure, social physique anxiety, weight control self-efficacy, and sports participation in providing a reference for promoting college students to develop healthy and confident living habits.Methods: Take Southwest University in China as the object, select the subjects by stratified random sampling, and process the data with SPSS19.0 and AMOS21.0 statistical software.Results: Media internalized pressure is positively correlated with social physique anxiety, weight control self-efficacy, and sports participation; social physique anxiety is significantly positively correlated with weight control self-efficacy and sports participation, and weight control self-efficacy is significantly positively correlated with sports participation; media internalized pressure has a direct effect on sports participation, and social physique anxiety and weight control self-efficacy play significant mediating roles in the relationship between media internalized pressure and sports participation, respectively; the chained mediating force of social physique anxiety and weight control self-efficacy also reaches a significant level.Conclusion: Media internalized pressure can influence college students’ sports participation through the direct path as well as indirect paths such as social physique anxiety, the intermediary effect of weight control self-efficacy, and chained intermediary effect of social physique anxiety–weight control self-efficacy, and social physique anxiety is another key factor affecting college students’ sports participation except media internalized pressure.

This article uses a research method that combines theoretical research and empirical analysis. It first introduces the relevant theories of energy service city distribution sites in the context of e-commerce and then the types of energy service city distribution sites and the composition of energy service city distribution systems.

We examine whether investors value the disclosure of first-time standalone corporate social responsibility reports, and whether market valuations differ between government-controlled and privately controlled firms. Using a matched sample of Chinese publicly listed firms, we find that CSR initiators have higher market valuations than matched CSR non-initiators, and CSR initiators controlled by the central and local governments have lower market valuations than CSR non-initiators and CSR initiators controlled by private shareholders. Additional analyses demonstrate that CSR initiators with high CSR reporting quality and perceived credibility have higher market valuations than CSR initiators with low CSR reporting quality and medium or low perceived credibility of CSR reporting. We do not find convincing evidence that CSR mandate, litigation risk, and prior stock returns affect market reactions to CSR reporting. Overall, we find that the market values standalone CSR reports, and that CSR reporting quality and perceived credibility are important factors in market valuation.

In Zhu Xi’s theory of cultivation, kun way-making (kun-dao坤道) to cultivate the virtue of kun (kun-de 坤德) goes ahead to qian way-making (qian-dao乾道), in which the virtue of qian (qian-de 乾德) is cultivated. In this theory, everyone is encouraged to cultivate kun way-making, which it happens that women represent. It is worth noting that the theory faces an issue of potential inconsistency between the “gendered” construction of qian-kun 乾坤 and the positive absence (kong-que空闕), the pivot of the cultivating process, where the renegotiation of the virtues of qian-kun is attuned to optimal appropriateness (yi 義) with her wisdom (zhi 智) at the endless end of kun way-making. The distinction of qian-kun in the whole cultivating process preempts the participation of kun way-making in symbolizing both virtues; however, the symbolization is continuously renegotiated in kun way-making, where the equity of qian-kun is founded on her careful and flexible quan 權 in the positive absence. If the inconsistency is recognized in Zhu Xi’s theory of cultivation, then it becomes weak. But if his theory could be reflected from a progressive viewpoint, it may pose a potentially feminist critique of the dichotomy of qian-kun and propose instead an equity of qian-kun through quan in kun way-making. Therefore, it is an open question how Zhu Xi’s resources can contribute to the feminist progressive project.

This study examines how the social climate of comparison in which a founder grew up impacts family business (FB) philanthropy, emphasizing the founder's role in FB decisions. With a dataset of 758 Chinese FBs, we find that the stronger the social climate of comparison in the founder's region of upbringing, the more charitable donations the FB tends to make. This effect is more pronounced in areas with a high concentration of FBs. The unspoken rules of Chinese society, related to ‘face (Mianzi)’ and ‘favours’ significantly influence business decisions.

This article initiates a novel care perspective within the scope of Confucian notions per se in explicating Confucian ethics, in which the core Confucian notions constitute the vibrant virtuosity in a way-making way. Specifically, on the premise of Mencius’ proposition of “residing in ren and seeking yi 居仁由義,” this article argues that it is in ren’ai 仁愛 of caring emotion that the “caring imperative” of yi 義 is rooted. Moreover, this article holds that the value of ren-yi 仁義 is self-affirmed in liangzhi 良知as the innate goodness of care relationship and the self-consummating virtuosity, attuning li 禮to the optimal appropriateness in zhong-shu 忠恕. In the final analysis, this article concludes that with ren as the emotional source and yi the caring imperative, “ren-yi-li仁義禮,” a trio of core Confucian notions, forms an organic entirety of virtuosity of Confucian ethics in a care perspective, both intrinsically and extrinsically.

Northwestern University Museum of History collection this side who died in Chang Tang epitaphs Japanese students as well really since Kanbu immediately after the cause of great concern in the Japanese scholars. Through the controversial issue of the name change into really well, first established in Japan's number, Rui water production east of the original cemetery, epitaphs written format and incomplete character of the issues in-depth analysis and research, form their own opinions. The news about the epitaph of mo Manari, a Japanese student who studied and died in the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, China, a new collection by the Northwest University Museum, has aroused extensive attention among scholars both in China and in Japan . The author of this paper has made a comprehensive research and analysis on the controversial issues regarding the change of the name of the owner, the earliest date related to the establishment of the title of Japan as a country, the tomb yard on the eastern bank of Chan River, the writing format of the epitaph, and the missing words

Currently, U.S. trade policy-making process is filled with strong partisan color, the two parties diametrically opposed attitudes towards trade issues, which makes the process of trade liberalization in the United States severely hampered. Democratic presidential oath of office just a weak footing, partisanship intensified, the U.S. financial crisis has caused a huge economic impact, in this context, free trade is subject to unprecedented challenges. In the future, only the two sides through friendly dialogue to resolve bilateral trade problems, positive and sincere look at the shortcomings of their own economic policies, bilateral trade in order to embark on the road of healthy development of bilateral economic development and make due contribution. The parties' struggles influence the process of the formulation of trade policies in America at present, and the two parties often are tit-for-tat attitudes on the topic of trade which hinders the process of trade liberalization. Obama as a member of the Democratic Party has just inauguration of President still on weak footing, the financial crisis created a huge impact on American Economy, the trade liberalization has been unprecedented challenged. Both China and the United States want to solve problems in bilateral trade only by friendly dialogues and examine their own deficiencies in economic policies actively and honestly. Then, the bilateral trade could be developed regularly and make due contributions to the economic development in both countries

Reform and opening up, China's regional disparities, especially the gap between eastern and western growing. Hall and other use of the decomposition method to the development of China's inter-provincial output per worker is decomposed into physical capital intensity, human capital and productivity. We find that labor productivity is to determine the difference between the output gap are the most important factor; the provinces in the opening up of the geographical advantages, the dual economic structure, degree of market and government intervention in inter-provincial level is a key factor in productivity differences. In today's China, regional gap across provinces, especially the output per worker between the coastal and the western area has enlarging increasing since the Reform. Using the method developed by Hall and Jones, we try to decompose output per worker in different provinces into capital intensity , human capital and productivity, and find that the difference in productivity is of the fundamental importance. We also try to demonstrate that the geographical advantage dining the external open process, the extent of market economy, the dual economic structure, and the degree of government's interference are significantly impacts upon the productive difference

PurposesThis paper aims to discuss the relationship between college students’ sports participation, school bullying, emotional intelligence and self-esteem. At the same time, it explores the intrinsic mechanisms of school bullying, in order to provide a reference for reducing bullying phenomenon among college students, and pave the way for college students to lead happy, healthy and confident lives.MethodsA total of 1,317 students from four universities in Southwest China were selected as subjects for this survey. They were selected by stratified random sampling, and the data needed was obtained using a structured questionnaire. The data was subsequently processed with statistical software SPSS19.0 and AMOS21.0.Results Sports participation has a significant and positive correlation with emotional intelligence and self-esteem, likewise, it has a significant negative correlation with school bullying. Emotional intelligence has a marked positive correlation with self-esteem, at the same time it has a significant negative correlation with school bullying. In addition, self-esteem is strongly negative correlated with school bullying. Sports participation has a direct effect on school bullying. Emotional intelligence and self-esteem also play a significant mediating role between sports participation and school bullying, and the chain mediating force of emotional intelligence—self-esteem also reaches a significant level.ConclusionSports participation affects school bullying among college students not only directly but also indirectly, such as through emotional intelligence, the mediating role of self-esteem, and the chain mediating role of emotional intelligence to self-esteem. Apart from sports participation, emotional intelligence is another key factor that affects college students’ school bullying. Therefore, while attaching great importance to college students’ sport participation, schools should also provide courses aimed at developing students’ emotional intelligence.

The multicultural work, The Dream of the Red Chamber, posits a field for exploring the interconnection between Confucian interpretations and its intrinsic Goddess narrative. In this article, I examine the reconciliation of the former with the latter. The immanent transcendence in Neo-Confucianism is not enough for interpreting this novel, for covering the question of a natural connection between Vermilion Pearl and Shen Ying, for a dichotomy of tian and the earth, the transcendent and the immanent. The Goddess narrative of repairing tian can rectify this difficult position and a nomadic spirituality forged in a mutually cultivating process is proposed, both to rescue the Confucian interpretation of the novel and to find a way of reconciling the Confucian ‘tian’ and the Goddess.

In Process and Reality (7) Whitehead points out that his philosophy of organism seems to be closer to certain characteristics of Chinese and Indian thought than to Western thought. Many scholars have found that Whitehead's philosophy is in line with Eastern thought and can be regarded as a pioneer in the integration of Eastern and Western thought. It is precisely because of the unique temperament of his philosophy that Whitehead attracted a group of Chinese admirers during his time at Harvard. In turn, these admirers significantly influenced contemporary Chinese philosophy.
