The Role of Digital Transformation in the Occupational Well-being of Online Technology Workers: An Integrated Theoretical Perspective
Get PDFWith the rapid development and integration of new technologies in the context of the digital economy, the work patterns and skill requirements of online technology workers have undergone fundamental changes, exerting a complex and far-reaching impact on their occupational well-being. This paper takes online technology workers as the research object and uses Self-determination Theory (SDT) and Conservation of Resources Theory (COR) as an integrated framework to analyze the internal mechanisms by which digital technology transformation affects their well-being through a dual path of "empowerment" and "challenge." The study finds that, on the one hand, digital technology empowers workers by improving work efficiency, expanding capability boundaries, and optimizing collaboration abilities, thereby enhancing their well-being; on the other hand, the iteration of digital technology also triggers challenges such as skills obsolescence anxiety, blurred work-life boundaries, and perceived algorithmic control, thus weakening their well-being. Additionally, multi-level characteristics will moderate this influence process. This research provides theoretical basis and practical insights for improving the occupational well-being of online technology workers in the digital age
Research on the Effectiveness of Large Language Models in the Translation of New Northeast Literature
Get PDFAs the models continue to update and develop, they have also impacted the translation industry. The translation quality of large models has been continuously improving, posing a significant challenge to traditional translation models. Large language models can handle the basic tasks of non-literary translation, but there is still insufficient exploration in the field of translation quality for literary translation. New Northeast Literature presents unique characteristics in vocabulary and narrative style, which will inevitably bring more difficulties to large model translation. This paper will use natural language processing technology to evaluate the effectiveness of machine translation and large language model translation
The Mapping between the Literal and the Metaphorical: A Latent Semantic Analysis Approach
Get PDFWith Chinese “飞翔” (fly/hover) as the key word, this paper aims to study the mapping of novel metaphor from a semantic computational perspective. The Latent Semantic Analysis was used to measure the relevance between the key word “飞翔”(fly/hover) and other lexical items in its literal contexts and metaphorical contexts respectively. Our study demonstrated that 1) the distribution of metaphorical mapping is closely related to the degree of relevance; 2) though the mapping is unidirectional from the literal to the metaphorical, fusion also occurs, suggesting a bi-directional interaction between the source and the target; 3) the metaphorical meanings of a lexical item influence its literal meaning, which can be observed in semantic prosody as well as lexical connotations
A Study on the Interactive Mechanisms of Short Video Danmaku Translation from a Systemic Functional Linguistics Perspective
Get PDFWith the proliferation of short videos and danmaku culture, danmaku has emerged as a vital medium for audience participation in cross-cultural interaction. This study focuses on the translation of danmaku in videos featuring foreign blogger “I Show Speed” visiting China. Grounded in Halliday's systemic functional linguistics (SFL), it examines how danmaku translation constructs information, sustains interaction, and organizes discourse from three metafunctional perspectives. Beyond evaluating specific translation issues, this study validates SFL's explanatory power for the dynamic, community-driven phenomenon of danmaku translation and explores new frontiers for its theoretical application
A Meta-Functional Analysis of Medical English Discourse for Translation Teaching
Get PDFConducting medical English translation practice requires a prerequisite understanding of the grammatical features of medical English discourse. To this end, the researchers utilized a self-constructed small-scale corpus to conduct a grammatical analysis of the lexico-grammatical layer of medical English discourse, based on the three meta-functions of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The study found that the three meta-functions of medical discourse work in synergy to shape specific stylistic features of the discourse. This feature system aligns with the objectivity and rigor of medical science, providing theoretical guidance for learners in their medical English translation practice
A Comparative Study on the Axial Compression Stability Performance of CFST Columns with Different Cross-Sections: A Meta-Analysis Based on a Unified Benchmark
Get PDFCFST columns are widely used in building structures, and their axial compression stability is a key factor in design. The cross-sectional shape may significantly affect the mechanical properties of the column, but existing studies mostly focus on specific shapes and lack systematic comparisons. Through a meta-analysis, systematically evaluate the axial compression stability performance of CFST columns with different cross-sectional shapes (rectangular, elliptical, circular ring-shaped, and circular) under a unified benchmark, and assess the reliability of the existing prediction models. Through a meta-analysis approach, sample data from numerous experimental and numerical studies were integrated. The core method is to uniformly adjust the "measured bearing capacity/predicted limit" (Nue/N) effect size of all samples to the normalized slenderness ratio λ=0.657 by using the specific slope coefficients of each section. Based on this, descriptive statistical analysis was conducted, and by performing linear fitting on the scatter data, the theoretical stability coefficients of each cross-section at the normalized slenderness ratio λ=1 were extrapolated, and heterogeneity(I² statistic) was evaluated. A total of 8 studies were included (providing 142 samples). The mean corrected effect size showed that the prediction models of the circular ring-shaped cross-section (1.078) and the circular cross-section (1.031) had higher reliability, while the prediction values of the rectangular cross-section (0.844) were systematically higher than the measured values. The linear fitting analysis further revealed that when reaching the theoretical buckling critical point (λ=1), the stability coefficients of each cross-section, from highest to lowest, were: circular ring-shaped (0.876), circular (0.848), elliptical (0.779), and rectangular (0.693). The heterogeneity among the studies was relatively high (I² > 50%). The cross-sectional shape has a significant impact on the axial compression stability performance of the CFST columns and the accuracy of the prediction model. Under the same condition of normalized slenderness ratio, the circular ring-shaped cross-section exhibits the best stability performance, while the stability performance and model reliability of the rectangular cross-section are the lowest. When conducting structural design, the influence of the cross-sectional shape of the components should be taken into account, and the prediction model should be further verified
Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Get PDFCervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a common chronic musculoskeletal disorder in clinical practice, with a steadily increasing incidence rate. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of this condition, forming a multidimensional and multifaceted comprehensive treatment system that includes herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina, and cupping therapy. This article systematically reviews the research progress in this field, noting that internal herbal treatments focus on syndrome differentiation and treatment, guided by the principle of "harmonizing internal organs and clearing meridians." Various external therapies, particularly specialized needling techniques and instruments targeting myofascial trigger points, can effectively release adhesions, improve blood circulation, and provide anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The current status of TCM in treating this condition is analyzed, aiming to offer references and insights for its clinical management
From Community to City: Challenges and Research Progress in Cross-Scale Sustainability Assessment
Get PDFGlobal urbanization is accelerating in the 21st century, and the United Nations projects that the urban population will reach 6.5 billion by 2050, positioning cities as the primary arena for implementing SDG 11. However, existing research on urban sustainability assessment remains largely confined to either the city or community scales, exhibiting considerable fragmentation, and neglecting dynamic cross-scale interactions leads to policy mismatches. This study conducts a systematic review of literature published between 2015 and 2025 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA guidelines. After excluding single-scale and non-urban studies, 14 core papers were identified. The results reveal three dominant pathways for cross-scale city–community assessment: top-down, bottom-up, and hybrid approaches. Methods predominantly involve computational modeling and spatial analysis (GIS), indicating a trend toward methodological integration. Indicators commonly demonstrate cross-dimensional coupling and cross-scale nesting structures. However, persistent challenges remain, including data barriers, insufficient coverage of sociocultural dimensions, and high technical thresholds. Future efforts should prioritize enhancing data integration, refining multidimensional indicator frameworks, and reducing application barriers to advance cross-scale assessment and achieve the coordinated, sustainable development of cities and communities
The Effect of the Combination Polymers – Grape Marc in the Development of Tomato Growing in Soilless
Get PDFThis study examined the impact of two fertilizers (FI (CRFA) and F2 (Arizona University) and three substrates (S1(100% coconut fiber), S2 (50% coconut fiber, 50% grape marc, and 7g of polymers), and S3 (50% coconut fiber, 50% grape marc, and 13g of polymers)) on tomato growth in a soilless system. Results showed that Fertilizer F2 was the most effective overall. Substrate S3 excelled in node count and flower bud spacing, likely due to improved moisture retention and nutrient availability. Substrate S1 supported optimal stem length and node spacing. Substrate S2 yielded the highest tomato production. These findings suggest that optimizing fertilization and substrate composition can significantly improve tomato yield and quality in soilless systems. This has implications for sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on soil-based cultivation and potentially increasing crop productivity. Further research in this area could lead to more efficient and environmentally friendly farming practices
Assessing Cultural Worldviews in Nollywood Historical Films: A Critique of Imasuen’s Invasion 1897 and Bandele’s Elesin Oba...
Get PDFThe study delved into the evaluation of cultural worldviews in Nollywood historical films. The primary aim was to study the construction of cultural worldviews and their role in shaping historical narratives within the films. Drawing upon Gregory Bateson and Erving Goffman frame theory, the analysis critically examined Lancelot Imasuen’s Invasion 1897 and Biyi Bandele’s Elesin Oba: the King’s Horseman. These historical films were selected using a typical case sampling technique and subjected to thorough Content Analysis. The findings of the study highlighted the significant influence of cultural worldviews on indigenous peoples’ perceptions, behaviours, reactions, and problem-solving approaches. Also, these worldviews are encapsulated in the traditional beliefs, laws, symbols and, religious practices of indigenous Nigerian cultures, which encountered challenges during the colonial era. Based on these observations, the study recommended the importance of thorough research in film production to ensure the accurate representation of cultural worldviews in order to promote positive cultural and social values in Nigeria.
