Study on Loss of Necessary Benefit in Administrative Compensation
Get PDFOn March 21, 2022, the Supreme People’s Court issued the Judicial Interpretation on Administrative Compensation, expanding the scope of direct losses under the State Compensation Law. This landmark development extends the definition of actual losses in administrative compensation litigation from direct damages to include lost expected benefits—a milestone in China’s administrative legal reform. For decades, theoretical and practical circles have debated the concept of “expected benefits” in administrative compensation. Through this judicial interpretation, we examine the current challenges in determining actual losses within China’s compensation framework, including inconsistent standards, diverse calculation methods, and complex procedures. By integrating the State Compensation Law with administrative regulations and judicial interpretations, this study clarifies the theoretical foundations and practical criteria for assessing actual losses, delineates the boundaries between direct and indirect losses, and incorporates property depreciation and lost expected benefits resulting from administrative actions into the compensation scope
Exploring Visual Social Media Accessibility for China’s Visually Impaired: A Grounded Theory Study of TikTok Usage
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the real-life experiences, challenges, and needs of visually impaired individuals when using visual social media platforms, with TikTok as a case study. The research investigates the accessibility barriers faced by this group and proposes optimization strategies for inclusive design. Adopting a grounded theory methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight visually impaired participants. The interview transcripts were analyzed through a three-stage coding process, with the core category identified as “Accessibility Challenges in Visual Social Media Usage”. The findings reveal four major obstacles encountered by visually impaired users: (1) technical adaptation barriers, (2) contradictions in the information ecosystem, (3) deprivation of digital rights, and (4) delayed response mechanisms. To enhance digital inclusion, this study recommends that platform developers adhere to universal accessibility design principles, while policymakers and society at large should prioritize the digital rights of visually impaired individuals, strengthen policy enforcement, and improve regulatory oversight. These measures can help bridge the digital divide and foster a more inclusive digital society
A Bibliometric Analysis on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) via VOSviewer and CiteSpace
Get PDFDrawing on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), this review aimed to clarify the research status and identify the research hotspots in this field using bibliometric software. Two hundred eighty-seven journal articles from the SSCI and SCI databases in WoS were imported into VOSviewer and CiteSpace to examine the number, period, authors, journals, organizations, and keywords, in order to achieve the above goals. The major findings demonstrated that, from 2009 to 2023, CLIL remained a primary phase of progress, with relatively few authors, organizations, and their collaborations on this topic. Keywords with high occurrences showed a focus on themes such as teaching effectiveness and the classroom, contributing to the discovery of research hotspots. Implications may include potential suggestions, such as focusing on the effects of early education, emphasizing learner individual characteristics about the application of CLIL, innovating new methodologies suitable for this field, and drawing contrasts between CLIL and other teaching methods
Learning in and between Communities of Practice: Situated Translation Learning in a Chinese non-professional Subtitling Community
Get PDFThis study sought to describe situated translator learning in a Chinese non-professional subtitling (NPS) community as an online community of practice (CoP) and identify community-level factors that potentially promote or inhibit translator learning enabled by social participation. Group documents collection and a semi-structured interview were used to elicit research data. Data analysis results suggested that translators of the NPS community learnt translation through participating in social practices both within their own CoP and in boundary spaces between CoPs, where they engage in translation collaboration with members of other communities. What is more, a range of participation-promotive/inhibitive factors operating at the community level were identified. The findings have significant implications for cultivating CoPs, either in classrooms or on the web, for situated translator training, including the needs to create inter-community boundary spaces for learning, foster a pro-collaboration community atmosphere, maintain the vibrance of the community, and ensure equal access to participation for all members
A Study on The Chinese and English Instructor
Get PDFThe Chinese and English Instructor, or Ying Ü Tsap Ts’ün, published in 1862, is an English textbook with the English words’ pronunciation annotated in the Cantonese dialect. This study mainly focuses on the compilation background, structure, content, and key features of the Chinese and English Instructor, exploring its value and significance for the development of English textbooks in contemporary China. T’ONG Ting-Kü, the compiler, was one of the earliest students to receive a Western education and a beneficiary of English language instruction. Well aware of the importance of mastering English, he compiled the Chinese and English Instructor with a clear purpose to provide some convenience for Canton people who have transactions, or are connected with foreigners. The structure of the textbook consists of four parts: prefaces, a treatise on articulation, a guide to pronunciation, and the body part, which is divided into six volumes, containing 58 major categories and 122 subcategories, with a total of 9,333 entries. The textbook manifests the following features: It focuses on teaching English pronunciation through qieyin, a Chinese phonetic notation, emphasizes the instruction of standard English and includes a wealth of English loanwords. It blends international and localized features, marking the transition from "Chinese-style English" textbooks to formal "Standard English" teaching materials. It holds pioneering significance in the history of modern English education in China
From Risk Transfer to Green Incentives: A Literature Review on the Impact of Policy-Supported Agricultural Insurance on Farmers’ Fertilizer Input Decisions
Get PDFPolicy-supported Agricultural Insurance (PAI) profoundly influences farmers’ production inputs. Synthesizing empirical evidence from China, this paper identifies a paradigm shift in academic understanding from moral hazard to green incentive effects. Specifically, PAI promotes the reduction of chemical pesticides and the adoption of fertilizer-saving technologies by stabilizing income and acting as a substitute for traditional “self-insurance”. Crucially, environmental outcomes are contingent upon product design: high-protection schemes, such as full-cost and digital insurance, demonstrate significantly superior green incentives compared to traditional models, which may otherwise perpetuate moral hazard. Consequently, PAI has evolved from a mere risk transfer tool into a strategic policy lever coordinating food security with environmental sustainability. Future reforms should prioritize green product innovation, digital transformation, and elevated protection levels to accelerate agricultural green transition
Research on the Impact of Real-Time Interaction on Consumer Purchasing Behavior in Livestream E-commerce
Get PDFWith the rapid development of the livestream e-commerce industry, research on consumer purchasing behavior based on live streaming platforms has become extensive. However, studies examining the relationship between real-time interaction and consumer purchasing behavior remain relatively limited. As real-time interaction is a key advantage of livestream e-commerce, this study investigates the mechanism influencing consumer purchasing behavior from the perspective of Streamer-viewer interaction. Grounded in social influence theory, it explores how different dimensions of real-time interaction affect consumer purchasing behavior in livestream contexts. By collecting 9,684 minutes of dynamically structured real-time data, over 2.95 million words of Streamer speech data, and 297,052 Danmaku messages from Douyin, this study examines the effects and variations of different dimensions of real-time interaction on consumer purchasing behavior, providing managerial insights for both enterprises and Streamers. The findings indicate that: (1) Streamer Informational Interaction, Danmaku Informational Interaction, Danmaku Emotional Interaction, and User Participatory Interaction significantly positively influence consumer purchasing behavior, whereas excessive Streamer Emotional Interaction negatively affects it; (2) Product Category moderates the relationship between different dimensions of real-time interaction and consumer purchasing behavior; (3) Streamer Influence positively moderates the relationship between various dimensions of real-time interaction and consumer purchasing behavior
Mythology: A Bridge for Civilizational DNA and Mutual Learning – A Comparative Study of Greek and Chinese Mythology
Get PDFAs foundational pillars of Western and Eastern civilizations, Greek and Chinese mythologies encapsulate the distinct cultural genes of maritime and agrarian societies, respectively. This study conducts a systematic comparative analysis of these two mythological traditions, focusing on deity portrayal, hero narratives, and core themes. Central to this analysis is a fundamental dichotomy: Greek mythology’s “anthropomorphic and polytheistic” worldview, which celebrates individual agency and acknowledges tragic fate, stands in contrast to Chinese mythology’s “spiritualized and ethical” paradigm, which prioritizes collective welfare and harmonious order. Going beyond a mere delineation of differences, this research delves into their socio-geographic roots and philosophical underpinnings. Ultimately, it argues that these divergent narrative logics are not mutually exclusive but are complementary. The paper proposes concrete pathways for civilizational mutual learning, demonstrating how the interplay between Greek individualism and Chinese collectivism, between tragic consciousness and pragmatic spirit, can offer profound insights for addressing contemporary global challenges and fostering cross-cultural dialogue
China EFL Postgraduate Students’ Perception of AI Chatbots in Preparing for an Oral English Presentation: The “Perfectly Imperfect” Assistant?
Get PDFWhile Generative AI chatbots hold the potential to enhance EFL students’ language learning opportunities, there is a need for more empirical studies on the actual application of such AI tools in students’ daily learning practice. This research studied a group of EFL postgraduate students on their use of GAI chatbots when they prepared for their oral English presentation. Qualitative analysis of the interview data suggested AI played different roles at different stages of their learning, mainly as a linguistic assistant and a brainstorm facilitator. Besides, students held conflicting views on the effects of AI in improving their English proficiency. In addition, the effectiveness of student-AI interactions was perceived to be influenced by students’ background knowledge of the topic (which was crucial for generating effective prompts), the timing when AI was introduced, and a trade-off between utility and intentionality. Based on the current findings, pedagogical implications have been provided concerning pedagogical design, the mediating role of teachers, student training and teachers’ professional development
The Relationship Between Teacher-Child Relationships and Children's Self-Esteem: The Moderating Role of Family Socioeconomic Status
Get PDFThis study investigates the relationship between teacher-child relationships and preschoolers' self-esteem, while examining the moderating effect of family socioeconomic status (SES). The research employed the Teacher-Child Relationship Scale, the Teacher-Rated Self-Esteem Questionnaire for Children Aged 3-9, and the SES Scale. A total of 310 senior kindergarten children and their teachers from Tianjingshan Second Kindergarten and Xinqiao Central Kindergarten participated. Findings revealed: (1) Teacher-child relationships showed a significant positive correlation with preschoolers' self-esteem; (2) Family socioeconomic status showed no significant correlation with either preschoolers' self-esteem or teacher-child relationships. The findings indicate that teacher-child relationships are a key factor influencing preschoolers' self-esteem, while family socioeconomic status does not exert a significant moderating effect
