The Impact of Deep Industry–education Integration on High-Quality Employment: Empirical Evidence from Vocational Education in Dongying
type: item
description: High-quality employment has emerged as a pivotal concern within the context of economic transformation and industrial upgrading. Vocational education plays a crucial role in supplying skilled labor; however, its effectiveness is largely contingent upon the depth of collaboration between educational institutions and industries. This study investigates the impact of deep industry–education integration on high-quality employment outcomes, using vocational education in Dongying as an empirical case. Drawing upon human capital theory and collaborative governance theory, this paper constructs an analytical framework that links the depth of industry–education integration to employment quality through mediating mechanisms such as skill matching, practical competence, and employment stability. Utilizing institutional data, policy documents, and graduate employment indicators, the findings reveal that deeper integration significantly enhances employment quality outcomes, including job–skill alignment, income levels, and career sustainability. The results provide empirical support for industry–education integration as an effective mechanism for improving employment quality and offer policy implications for vocational education reform.

Dilemmas and Innovative Paths of University Counselor Team Building: A Perspective of Organizational Support Theory
type: item
description: As the key workforce for fulfilling the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, university counselors play an indispensable role. Based on Organizational Support Theory, this study systematically explores the structural dilemmas and systematic approaches to the development of university counselor teams. A four-dimensional analytical framework encompassing instrumental, emotional, institutional and developmental support is constructed, and qualitative analysis is conducted through in-depth interviews with 61 counselors and relevant administrators. The results reveal that counselors suffer excessive administrative workloads and resource shortages in terms of instrumental support; they struggle with ambiguous role identity and insufficient organizational recognition in emotional support; formalized assessment mechanisms and blocked dual-track promotion channels constitute major obstacles to institutional support; mismatched supply and demand in training systems and vague career advancement trajectories plague developmental support. The deficiencies across the four dimensions interact and interlock with one another, giving rise to a structural predicament. This study proposes a shift from fragmented support to the construction of systematic support. Through the coordination of the four dimensions and ecological integration, the professional development and sustainable empowerment of counselor teams can be realized, offering theoretical references and practical models for the development of ideological and political education staff in universities in the new era.

From Money to Mercy: The Writing of Death in Everyman
type: item
description: This paper reexamines Everyman from the perspective of death and explores the philosophical insights about life that the work presents. By analyzing “the beginning of death—Money,” the article reveals human beings’ excessive reliance on material wealth and the moral crisis of medieval society. Through “the process of death—Separation,” it illustrates Everyman’s detachment from external entities and highlights the significance of the inner virtue of “Good Deeds.” Finally, in “the redemption in death—Mercy,” it explains how Everyman attains spiritual salvation through repentance, good deeds, and an understanding of God’s mercy. By portraying the experiences of Everyman, the play underscores that death is the key to divine mercy and redemption, exposes the illusory nature of material pursuits, and emphasizes that only repentance leads to salvation. Its reflections offer valuable insights for contemporary readers in understanding the relationship between life and death.

Barriers and Promotion Strategies for Physical Activity Among Deaf College Students: A Narrative Review
type: item
description: Physical activity is widely regarded as a key component of student health and well-being in higher education, yet deaf and hard-of-hearing college students continue to encounter persistent barriers when engaging in sport, exercise, and physical education activities. Although research on accessibility and inclusion in universities has grown, relevant evidence remains distributed across multiple fields, including deaf education, disability studies, physical activity, and adapted physical education. This narrative review draws on existing literature to examine barriers and promotion strategies shaping physical activity participation among deaf college students in adapted physical education contexts. Drawing on studies identified through Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, the review adopts a thematic approach to synthesize patterns across studies. The findings suggest that participation is shaped not only by communication access, but also by interrelated factors such as social belonging, instructional practices, and institutional conditions. Communication barriers remain the most persistent challenge, yet they are closely embedded within broader social and environmental dynamics that influence the consistency and quality of participation. The literature also indicates that the most promising strategies tend to integrate accessible communication and instruction with inclusive program design and sustained support from peers, faculty, and institutional systems. At the same time, the current evidence base remains limited, particularly in relation to conceptual integration and the systematic evaluation of intervention effectiveness. Overall, this review highlights that physical activity participation among deaf college students should be understood not only as a health issue, but also as a broader matter of inclusion and equitable participation in university life.

A Study on the Allocation of Regional Educational Resources and Governance Mechanisms from the Perspective of Educational Equity
type: item
description: Educational equity has become a fundamental objective of modern education systems, particularly in the context of uneven regional development. Despite sustained policy efforts, disparities in the allocation of educational resources persist across regions, influencing both access to education and learning outcomes. This study examines regional educational resource allocation through the lens of educational equity and explores governance mechanisms that can mitigate disparities. Drawing upon theoretical analysis and policy evaluation, the study identifies key structural challenges, including urban–rural imbalance, unequal teacher distribution, and the digital divide. Furthermore, it proposes a comprehensive governance framework integrating policy redistribution, data-driven decision-making, teacher mobility systems, and multi-stakeholder participation. The findings suggest that achieving educational equity requires systemic governance innovation rather than isolated policy interventions. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of educational equity and provides practical implications for policymakers seeking to promote inclusive and balanced educational development.

Digital Media Literacy in Tertiary Education: A Systematic Literature Review of Conceptualizations, Pedagogical Approaches, and Learning Outcomes (2015–2025)
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of digital platforms and algorithm-driven information environments has made media literacy an increasingly critical competency for college and university students. Yet, despite growing scholarly interest, research on media literacy education in tertiary settings remains fragmented across conceptual frameworks, pedagogical approaches, and outcome domains. This systematic review synthesizes empirical studies on digital media literacy interventions in higher education published between 2015 and 2025. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 20 studies were identified through systematic database searching and screened against predefined inclusion criteria. Findings reveal that both short targeted trainings and semester-long curricula consistently produce short-term cognitive gains. However, effects on attitudes remain inconsistent, and evidence of real-world behavioral change is limited. Interventions that emphasize concrete verification routines, such as lateral reading, demonstrated the clearest immediate benefits. From a computing and intelligent education perspective, the review further identifies four technically operational dimensions: cross-platform verification, algorithmic recommendation awareness, generative AI content identification (AIGC literacy), and deepfake detection. These dimensions are unevenly addressed in current curricula. The review also highlights the underutilisation of platform-based training environments, behavioral log analysis, and human-Al collaborative verification tools in both intervention design and outcome evaluation.

Enhancing Graduate Employability through Digital and Intelligent Vocational Skills Training: An Empirical Study of University Students in China
type: item
description: Improving graduate employability has become a central concern for higher education under conditions of digital transformation. This study examines the relationship between digitalised vocational skills training and university students’ employability, with a focus on the role of practical competence. The study adopts a theory-driven quantitative research design based on questionnaire survey data collected from students enrolled in vocationally oriented programmes at four higher education institutions in Dongying City, China. A total of 1,528 valid responses were obtained through telephone surveys, online questionnaires, and on-site distribution. Digitalised vocational skills training, practical competence, and graduate employability were measured using multi-item indicators reflecting training exposure, applied skill development, and early employment-related outcomes. The results indicate that students’ participation in vocational skills training is strongly employment-oriented, while overall cognitive awareness of training systems remains limited. Misalignment between training content and enterprise practice, insufficient practical opportunities, and outdated instructional methods constrain training effectiveness. In addition, underdeveloped information-based training platforms restrict learning support and resource integration. Overall, digitalised vocational skills training is positively associated with employability outcomes, primarily through the enhancement of practical competence.

The Dragon Rises: Reframing the Hero’s Journey in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
type: item
description: This paper explores how the Chinese film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragonreworks the traditional stages of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. It analyzes how the monomyth is adapted through wuxia conventions and Chinese philosophical values, particularly Confucian ideas of duty and responsibility to others, as well as Daoist and Buddhist notions of spiritual transcendence. Although the Hero’s Journey is frequently adapted in film, its linear progression, emphasis on heroic mastery, and promise of triumphant return are culturally specific rather than universally applicable. We employ qualitative textual and narrative analysis to critically engage with the widely circulated but contested Hero’s Journey, using it as a heuristic lens to identify and distinguish heroic elements within the film’s main characters, particularly Jen Yu and Li Mu Bai. The analysis shows that heroic elements such as departure, trials, and transformations are distributed among many characters of the film and are framed as processes of moral and spiritual growth rather than victory or redemption, as emphasized in the Hero’s Journey. The film reflects on restraint and moral growth, the values grounded in wuxia and Chinese philosophy, rather than focusing on control or a definitive heroic closure in the Hero’s Journey. Gender plays a key role in this shift, as Jen Yu’s open-ended path challenges male-centered ideas of heroic change without simply reversing gender roles. The paper further elaborates that the film affirms the Hero’s Journey functions while also criticizing its adaptation. This case study contributes to comparative narrative and film theory by demonstrating how universalist heroic paradigms are both adapted and fundamentally constrained when reframed through culturally specific ethical and philosophical traditions.

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Primary Sorting System for Municipal Solid Waste Using QR Codes and Artificial Intelligence in the Context of Kazakhstan
type: item
description: This paper examines contemporary approaches to municipal solid waste (MSW) management, focusing on the transition from traditional collection and landfilling practices to intelligent and environmentally sustainable recycling systems. In light of the growing volume of waste generated in urban areas worldwide, including Kazakhstan, the integration of innovative technologies that enhance the efficiency of primary waste sorting and foster public participation in environmental responsibility has become increasingly significant. The study explores the development and implementation of a smart container system based on QR codes and artificial intelligence (AI), designed to automate waste identification and tracking at the initial collection stage. The main objective is to assess the potential for integrating digital technologies into the waste management framework and to propose a model that improves the recycling rate of secondary resources. The research presents the use of AI for waste type recognition, QR codes for user identification and reward distribution within the “EcoCoin” ecosystem, and a data collection mechanism for ESG reporting. The scientific novelty lies in the proposed integrated approach to waste management, combining digital identification technologies with intelligent sorting and advanced processing methods such as fermentative and plasma treatment. The practical significance of the study is determined by the scalability of the proposed system both within Kazakhstan and internationally, contributing to the reduction of landfill volumes, the strengthening of environmental sustainability, job creation, and increased public engagement in the digital green economy.

Rice-Wafer Eastward: Sacramental Networks in East Asian Catholicism, 1880–1910
type: item
description: This article examines the contested use of rice-based Eucharistic wafers in East Asian Catholicism between 1880 and 1910, situating the so-called 'rice-wafer controversy' within broader dynamics of sacramental materiality, colonial governance, and transregional religious networks. At the heart of this study lies the tension between Roman doctrinal mandates—insisting on the exclusive use of pure wheat and unleavened bread for the consecrated host—and the agro-ecological realities of rice-dominant regions in southern China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan, where wheat cultivation was economically unviable and logistically challenging. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives from the Dominican Order, Vatican correspondence, colonial administrative reports, and local church records, this research employs a transregional methodology to trace the circulation of sacramental materials and the negotiation of liturgical authority across imperial boundaries. The analysis reveals how Spanish-led Dominican missions, particularly those operating under the jurisdiction of the Philippine province, attempted to adapt sacramental practice through experimental rice-based hosts, prompting repeated scrutiny from Rome and generating clandestine production and smuggling networks that circumvented official prohibitions. The aftermath of the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) further complicated these dynamics, as shifting colonial sovereignties in Taiwan and Korea disrupted established supply chains and intensified both state surveillance and local improvisation. Far from being passive recipients of doctrinal edicts, East Asian Catholics—clergy and laity alike—engaged in acts of vernacular theologizing, reinterpreting sacramental validity through agrarian symbolism and communal memory. These adaptations underscore the interplay between material religion and imperial control, demonstrating how the physical constraints of agriculture and the geopolitics of empire shaped the lived experience of faith.

A Review on the U.S. Approaches Towards the Taiwan Question of China Since 2016 in American Studies
type: item
description: This paper uses American Studies as a lens to examine the research achievements and existing issues regarding the U.S. approaches towards the Taiwan question of China since 2016. It finds that, since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) assumed power in the Taiwan region of China in 2016, the journal has published research primarily focusing on four core areas: the evolution of U.S. arms sales policy towards the Taiwan region of China, U.S. strategies towards the Taiwan question of China in the Asia-Pacific security cooperation network, the ambiguous means and strategic thinking of U.S. policy towards the Taiwan question of China, and the role and influence of the U.S. Congress in U.S. policy towards the Taiwan question of China. These studies suggest that the U.S. frequently resorts to “the ‘Taiwan Card’ of China” in response to the so-called “China threat” and changes in the regional security environment. However, it is notable that, influenced by shifts in the regional security landscape and domestic political pressures, U.S. policy towards the Taiwan question of China has exhibited a degree of ambiguity, sparking intense debates within the U.S. This ambiguity represents not only an indirect response to China’s rising comprehensive power but also exposes the diplomatic policy predicaments and contradictions the U.S. faces regarding the Taiwan question of China. The findings also highlight several shortcomings in domestic research on the U.S. approaches towards the Taiwan question of China, including gaps in the analysis of motivations, a relatively narrow research perspective, a limited geographic and national scope, and potential biases in research methods.

Research on the Paths of Rural Women's Labor Force Participation to Facilitate Rural Revitalization in the Context of New Quality Productive Forces
type: item
description: In the context of new productivity, the participation of rural women's labor force plays a positive role in promoting rural revitalization. This study aims to explore the path of rural women's labor force participation in rural revitalization. This study found that under the background of new quality productivity, there are difficulties in rural women's labor force participation in rural revitalization, such as technological gap, lack of digital skills, traditional gender division of labor restrictions, policy support, and inadequate service system. New quality productivity can drive rural development through innovation, empower agricultural transformation and upgrading, and promote industrial integration. It can provide more skills training opportunities for rural women, encourage their participation in the labor force, and ultimately drive the process of rural revitalization.

Theoretical Controversies over the Originality Standard for AI-Generated Content and the Chinese Approach
type: item
description: The discourse surrounding the standard of originality has long been divided into two schools of thought: subjectivism and objectivism. Subjectivism emphasizes the participation of natural persons in the creative process, whereas objectivism focuses on the distinctiveness of a work's expression. Through a historical examination of the originality standard and a comparative analysis of judicial practices across multiple jurisdictions, it becomes evident that "anthropocentrism" imposes functional constraints on the copyright system and that a mechanistic application of objectivism may result in ethical risks. Neither school of thought can independently address the originality issues arising from AI-generated content. Therefore, drawing on the integrative tendencies demonstrated in current Chinese judicial practice, this paper advocates for a primarily objectivist judgment framework, supplemented by elements of subjectivism. The proposed framework bases its evaluation on the distinctiveness of the result and the novelty of expression, while incorporating a human intervention factor to introduce value judgments rooted in subjectivism. This approach not only enables the copyright system to fulfill its institutional functions and social values simultaneously, but also offers insights for the collaborative global governance of copyright.

Multi-dimensional Innovative Revitalization of Lin Zexu’s Cultural Heritage Empowered by Digital Technology
type: item
description: This paper focuses on the critical issue of revitalizing Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage through the empowerment of digital technologies. We combine the national cultural digitization strategy with the regional cultural protection needs of Fuzhou, analyzing the current state of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage, identifying the challenges in its revitalization process, and proposing recommendations for its revitalization. First, we review the current state of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage in Fuzhou, including its composition and spatial characteristics, the status of preservation and restoration, and the state of academic research and digital construction. Next, we analyze the challenges encountered during the revitalization of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage from six dimensions: spiritual connotation, digital technology, data resources, social participation, long-term mechanism, and talent assurance. Finally, based on the challenges identified, we draw on the 4T (Technology, Targeted, Talent, Transcendent) model and revitalization methods (industrial revitalization, tourism revitalization, social work revitalization) to propose multi-dimensional innovative revitalization suggestions, such as building a spiritual decoding system, developing emotional digital narrative products, deepening the integration of digital technologies, establishing technical adaptation strategies, creating an all-domain digital resource platform, co-building data alliances and standards, innovating public participation mechanisms, promoting integration with short video platforms, innovating investment and financing mechanisms, establishing long-term mechanisms, and accelerating the cultivation of compound talents.

Analysis of Accessibility and Experience of Special Forces-Style Tourism: Taking Wuhan East Lake as an Example
type: item
description: This study examines spatial experiences and perceived accessibility among young participants in “Special Forces-style tourism,” a high-intensity, time-compressed travel style prevalent among Chinese youth. Using Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area as a case study, data from 150 valid questionnaires were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to explore relationships among behavioral patterns, spatial accessibility, and experience satisfaction. Results indicate that young tourists exhibit distinct behaviors, prioritizing efficiency, visual consumption, and frequent movement. Satisfaction with natural and cultural landscapes significantly predicted overall experience satisfaction, whereas clarity of internal signage and spatial accessibility had limited statistical influence, suggesting adaptive behaviors under tight schedules. Notably, external transportation convenience was negatively correlated with satisfaction, reflecting tensions between urban infrastructure and perceived crowding or time pressure. This research contributes to debates on youth travel behavior and urban tourism spatial design, highlighting the mediating role of perceived accessibility in high-intensity tourism experiences. The study calls for a nuanced understanding of youth-driven tourism patterns and for spatial strategies that respond to evolving behaviors.

The Development Status of Chinese Science Fiction Films Under the Influence of Film Industrialization
type: item
description: As an important film genre, science fiction has long generated significant economic value and social impact in developed Western countries, standing out among various film genres and moving towards industrialized development. With the ongoing deepening of China's film industry reform and the rapid development of the market economy, Chinese science fiction films have shown promising growth. The recent surge in popularity of science fiction films has provided a rare opportunity for the development of Chinese science fiction films. Today, China is calling for the emergence of domestically produced science fiction films. Market demand, social expectations, and the needs of the times have all undergone significant changes, creating real possibilities and favorable conditions for the development of this genre. However, Chinese science fiction films still faces several challenges, such as low social recognition of science fiction culture, underdeveloped creative output, and inadequate promotional efforts.

Comparative Analysis of Evidence Systems in Criminal Justice between China and the Philippines
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of economic globalization and deepening regional cooperation, legal exchanges and judicial cooperation between China and the Philippines are becoming increasingly frequent. Especially in the field of criminal justice, understanding the differences in evidence systems has become the key to transnational law enforcement cooperation and legal aid. This paper compares the evidence systems in criminal justice in China and the Philippines, combs through the historical origins and legal basis of each system, systematically compares the core contents such as types of evidence, exclusionary rules for illegal evidence, witness system, protection of defendant's rights and adoption of electronic evidence, and combines typical case analysis to reveal the fundamental differences between the two systems in terms of value orientation and institutional operation. The study found that the Philippine system focuses more on procedural justice and constitutional protection, while the Chinese system focuses on substantive truth and case handling efficiency. On this basis, this paper puts forward several targeted reform suggestions, such as improving the procedure for excluding illegal evidence, strengthening the mechanism for witnesses to appear in court, promoting the implementation of the cross-examination system, improving the standardization of electronic evidence acceptance, and strengthening the protection of procedural rights such as the right to remain silent, in order to provide international experience and path inspiration for the reform of China's criminal evidence system.

The War of Words: A Discourse Study of the US-China Trade War
type: item
description: The US-China trade war is not only an economic and political contest, but also a struggle for discourse power. Integrating multidisciplinary perspectives from discourse, communication and international relations, this study reveals the multidimensional characteristics and strategic implications of the US-China trade war discourse. Based on Fairclough's three-dimensional framework of discourse theory, this study employs a systematic literature review methodology to select 89 high-quality Chinese and international academic articles from 2018 to 2024. It constructs an integrated analytical framework of "micro-text — meso-communication — macro-order." The findings reveal that the US-China trade war discourse highlights the contest for discourse power amidst the reconstruction of the international order, primarily manifested as follows: (1) China constructs institutional legitimacy by relying on rule-based consensus and multilateral narratives, while the US reinforces ideological opposition through confrontational and threatening discourse; (2) The rise of the digital communication ecosystem has reshaped the landscape of discourse power, leading to diversified communicators, emotionalized content production, and opinion polarization; (3) Both China and the US compete for the power to formulate global governance rules through national image shaping, the dissemination of values, and historical narratives. Facing a new round of the trade war, China needs to construct a multi-agent collaborative discourse system, strengthen narratives of emotional affinity and social media platform strategies, and deepen its discourse alliance with countries of the Global South to enhance its discursive influence in the reconstruction of the international economic order.

The Gongfu Theory in Liu Zhi’s Tianfang Xingli: With a Discussion on His Absorption and Transformation of Confucian Thought
type: item
description: This study explores the conception of gongfu theory in Liu Zhi’s Tianfang Xingli, with particular attention to its absorption and integration of Confucian thought. An analysis of Liu Zhi’s gongfu theory reveals that it is deeply influenced by the traditional Confucian discourse on self-cultivation, while also incorporating distinctive elements from Islamic philosophy. The paper first outlines Liu Zhi’s understanding of the process by which human beings come to know the “True One”（God）, and then examines the reasons for the estrangement between humanity and the “True One”（God）. On this basis, it elaborates on Liu Zhi’s proposed methods of returning to the “True One”（God）, namely the cultivation paths of the Three Ways and the Supra-Way. Finally, the paper focuses on Liu Zhi’s integration of Confucian thought within his gongfu theory, highlighting the unique synthesis of Confucianism and Islam in his philosophy, and offering new insights into the dialogue and interaction between Chinese traditional philosophy and foreign religious thought.

Is the Negative Correlation between Manufacturing Firms’ Performance and ESG Ratings an Isolated Case or Common? — Taking Listed Companies in Anhui Province as an Example
type: item
description: Under China’s "dual-carbon" target, ESG ratings play an increasingly vital role in evaluating the sustainable development of manufacturing enterprises. This study investigates whether the negative correlation between ESG ratings and firm performance is a widespread phenomenon or a regional anomaly, using a sample of 127 listed manufacturing firms in Anhui Province. Employing Kendall’s tau-b correlation and distributional analysis, we find that firm performance negatively correlates with ESG ratings and that this relationship follows a normal distribution. These results suggest that the mismatch between ESG scores and firm outcomes is systematic in nature. Policy recommendations are provided to improve ESG evaluation systems and promote sustainable industrial transformation.

Cross-Text Modal Preference Systematization (CTP-S): A Dynamic Framework for Personality Prediction via Music Preferences
type: item
description: Music preference, as an explicit behavioral marker of psychological traits, carries structured personality representations, yet existing research is constrained by three critical limitations: inadequate cross-cultural adaptability of Western-centric scales in interpreting non-Western music systems; neglect of cognitive dimensions in traditional models like the Big Five; and static analytical frameworks ignoring scenario-behavior dynamics. This study proposes the Cross-Text Preference-Systematization (CTP-S) model, integrating MBTI cognitive structure, FPA motivational color theory, and CAPS situational dynamics to establish a cross-modal mapping mechanism from music preference to personality. Empirical results validate significant multi-dimensional correlations with distinct scenario dependency—introverts favor instrumental solos in private settings while extraverts prefer high-tempo music socially. The model achieves high prediction accuracy (up to 90.21% for MBTI/FPA classification). Theoretically, this work breaks through static frameworks by constructing a “cognition-motivation-context” triadic paradigm, bridging neural mechanisms and cultural theories. Methodologically, it realizes multimodal fusion of lyrics, audio, and behavioral data, offering technical paths for personalized mental health intervention and intelligent human-computer interaction. Future research will enhance cross-cultural applicability and explore neural encoding mechanisms.

Research on the Collaborative Mechanism of Cultural Heritage Conservation from the Perspective of Citizen Science Based on the “Quadruple Helix + Culture” Model
type: item
description: In the contemporary context of constructing “resilient cities,” cultural heritage, as a vital component of “cultural resilience,” bears an extremely important mission. However, the protection, dissemination, and utilization of cultural heritage have gradually transcended the traditional scope of cultural relics conservation. It no longer relies solely on professionals in cultural heritage protection but increasingly demands the participation of the general public. Citizen science, as an emerging research paradigm, offers new ideas and pathways to break through the constraints of traditional heritage conservation models. Yet, current research and applications of citizen science in the field of cultural heritage conservation remain insufficient both domestically and internationally. In light of this, this paper aims to systematically review and analyze the application cases of citizen science in the United States, with the expectation of providing theoretical and practical support for the innovative development of cultural heritage conservation. Furthermore, based on this analysis, this paper proposes the theoretical model and application pathways of “Citizen Science + Quadruple Helix + Culture” in cultural heritage conservation, with the goal of offering new theoretical support and practical guidance for research and practice in related fields and promoting the development of cultural heritage conservation in a more scientific, democratic, and sustainable direction.

Philosophical Construction and Educational Practice of Cai Yuanpei's Aesthetic Education Thought
type: item
description: This paper takes Cai Yuanpei's aesthetic education thought as the research object, and systematically discusses the philosophical construction and educational practice of his theory of "replacing religion with aesthetic education". It is found that in the context of belief crisis and cultural transformation in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Cai Yuanpei integrated Kant's transcendental aesthetics, Schiller's aesthetic liberation theory and Confucian tradition of "combining rites with music", and constructed a modern aesthetic education philosophy system of "unity of body and image", "moral standard" and "equal emphasis on knowledge and action". Its educational practice is embodied in the concept innovation of advocating educational freedom and equality, promoting the construction of art education specialization and curriculum integration system, practicing the method innovation of "integration of teaching and doing" and the social expansion of public art and museum education. Despite the tension between philosophical universality and limited realistic resources, aesthetic transcendence and utilitarian needs of national salvation, and the confrontation with Liang Qichao and Wang Guowei's thoughts, his theory still provides important enlightenment for solving the dilemma of spiritual governance and promoting quality education in contemporary times. Cai Yuanpei's aesthetic education thought, as a response to civilization's transformation, established China's first modern aesthetic education system, laid the groundwork for art education and quality education, and posed the "unfinished question" of uniting individual aesthetic liberation with the collective social will.

The Effect of Cooperative Teaching Method on English Learning Interest among Chinese Vocational School Students
type: item
description: In the Chinese vocational education system, students often lack interest in learning and have low classroom participation, which negatively affects their academic performance and career growth. This study examines the impact of group cooperative teaching on English learning interest among vocational school students, focusing on how it boosts engagement and participation. A survey of 100 students from a vocational school was conducted, with statistical analyses, including reliability and validity testing, performed using SPSS software. The results show that group cooperative teaching significantly enhances students' cognitive interest, emotional investment, and motivation. These methods improve the classroom atmosphere and increase interactive engagement. Group cooperation not only promotes teacher-student and peer interactions but also builds responsibility and teamwork through task-based cooperation. This approach enhances intrinsic motivation, language skills, and learning outcomes. The study advances research on the connection between group cooperation and English learning interest, supporting student-centered teaching models in vocational education.
