The Research Effect Of Chewing Function Nursing Techniques In Improving Swallowing Dysfunction Among Children With Cerebral Palsy
Get PDFThe objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy of chewing function nursing techniques in improving swallowing dysfunction among children with cerebral palsy. A total of 60 children with cerebral palsy and swallowing disorders, admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022, were included in the study. The children were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing, while the observation group received additional nursing measures focusing on chewing function techniques in addition to the routine rehabilitation nursing. Both groups underwent interventions for a period of 3 months. Swallowing dysfunction, eating ability, and oral motor function were evaluated and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Specifically, the Dysphagia Diet Scale (DDS) was used to assess swallowing dysfunction, the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS) was used to evaluate eating ability, and the Structured Oral Motor Assessment (SOMA) was used to assess oral motor function. The results showed that before rehabilitation nursing, there was no significant difference in DDS scores between the two groups. However, after rehabilitation nursing, both groups exhibited lower DDS scores compared to before, and the observation group had lower scores than the control group, indicating a significant difference (P < 0.05). Similarly, before rehabilitation nursing, there was no significant difference in EDACS ratings between the two groups. After rehabilitation nursing, both groups of children showed improvement in EDACS ratings, with the observation group demonstrating better outcomes than the control group. The difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). Prior to rehabilitation nursing, there was no significant difference in SOMA scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, after rehabilitation nursing, both groups exhibited improved SOMA scores, with the observation group scoring higher than the control group. The difference between the two groups was also significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion, compared to routine nursing care, chewing function nursing techniques can alleviate swallowing dysfunction among children with cerebral palsy, enhance their swallowing function, and improve their quality of life. Therefore, this approach is worthy of clinical application and promotion
Enhancing High School English Listening and Speaking Skills: A Deep Learning Approach Aligned with Core Competences
Get PDFDeep learning is an educational approach that develops English Subject Core Competences. Listening and speaking teaching guided by deep learning can effectively implement the goals of cultivating core competences.

Book Review: Introduction of Selected Chinese and Western Translation Theories
No full text As China further opens up and integrates into the world, the demand for translation professionals has increased significantly. Despite the development of translation disciplines, the existing teaching materials have not yet met the needs of undergraduate education in terms of quantity and quality, especially for graduate students and doctoral students. To make up for it, the book A Selected Introduction to Chinese and Western Translation Theories emerged at the right moment. This article briefly reviews this translation theory textbook edited by Professor He Xueyun from Hengyang Normal University and published by The Commercial Press in 2021, with the ISBN 9787100201100, using research methods such as literature review, comparative analysis, and case study analysis. The book is divided into three main parts: an introduction to Chinese translation theories, an introduction to Western translation theories, and the main schools of translation theory. It is characterized by its comprehensive content, concise introductions, clear layout, highlighted key points, and ease of self-study, making it an excellent introductory book for learners of translation theory
Three Interpretation Paths on Understanding Political Relations between Southeast Asian Kingdoms and China from the Mandala System’s Perspective
Get PDFIn the late 1960s, some scholars started using the constituent elements of the mandala system, the traditional interstate relations model in Southeast Asia, to explore the official relationship between China and Southeast Asian Kingdoms and gradually formed three interpretation paths. The first is to use the mandala in the geopolitical sense to locate bilateral political relations. The second is about how the political culture with the universal monarch as the core enables Southeast Asia monarchs to join the tribute system. The third focuses on the different understanding of tribute in Southeast Asian countries. They supplement or revise the traditional view that the tributary relationship between ancient China and Southeast Asian Kingdoms was political. However, these three interpretation paths have their limitations. The review shows that scholars ignore the universal kingship of Southeast Asian Kingdoms’ discourse system to China. The unilateral policy design and understanding could not convincingly interpret the unique political relationship formed by bilateral interaction. Therefore, the universal kingship claimed by the Chinese emperors and Southeast Asian Kingdoms monarchs must be examined. It should study how the centers of the mandala system smoothly transited between claiming universal kingship and pursuing equality in real politics. It also explores what diplomatic strategies could maintain the subjectivity of the monarchs of Chinese dynasties and Southeast Asian Kingdoms
The Impact of Learning Experiences on Meeting Teacher Accreditation Standards: A Mixed-Methods Study
Get PDFProfessional Accreditation for teacher education programs is a quality assurance measure for normal universities. To clarify the factors affecting student teachers' learning and their mechanisms, a mixed-methods study was conducted on government-funded student teachers. The study found that learning experiences in areas such as clear goals, student support, appropriate assessment, teaching quality, and course organisation have varying degrees of influence on learning outcomes. The mechanisms of influence include: the combined effect of misaligned learning goals and simplified exam content hinders the improvement of learning quality; gaps in subject systems and structural shortages of teacher resources undermine the distinctive features of teacher education; and an imbalance between increasing learning challenges and insufficient student support obstructs the development of professional competencies. Therefore, universities should leverage participation in professional accreditation as an opportunity to reform teacher education curricula, build high-quality teaching teams, optimize the structure of teacher resources, and improve student support services to create an excellent training environmen

ESG narrative and ESG performance :Talk or Walking the Talk?
Get PDFThe subject, text and object constitute the basic logical framework of narratology, the subject of the ESG narrative is listed companies, the text is ESG reports, corporate governance, and environment and society-related content in annual reports, and the object is stakeholders. This paper selects China's A-share listed companies in 2018 ~ 2022 as the initial sample and represents the ESG narrative by selecting the ESG-related word frequency weights in the annual report of the enterprise in that year. The multiple regression model of ESG "consistency between words and deeds" is constructed by taking the ESG rating scores of CSI in the same year as the ESG performance of the enterprise. It is found that, firstly, there is indeed a "discrepancy between words and deeds" between corporate ESG narratives and corporate ESG performance, and corporations have a stronger tendency to exaggerate their CSR. Second, board size is positively related to corporate ESG "misrepresentation", and firm size has a particularly significant effect on the social dimension of corporate ESG performance.The above findings have some implications for our regulators: First, we should pay more attention to the social dimension of corporate ESG narratives, as listed companies often exaggerate their social responsibilities to improve their ESG performance. Second, more quantitative indicators should be used to evaluate the social dimension
