The Role of Critical Thinking in Enhancing Student Learning and Problem Solving for 21st Century Challenges
Get PDFIn today’s changing world, students face multifaceted challenges that require more than rote memorization or basic understanding. Critical thinking (CRT) has become a crucial competency that enhances learning and problem-solving abilities, enabling students to address complex academic and real-life issues effectively. This research investigates the role of CRT in improving pupils' problem-solving skills and learning outcomes to prepare them for contemporary challenges better. Using a mixed-methods approach, 345 pupils were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. A targeted CRT training program was implemented for the experimental group in order to improve their learning and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, a structured questionnaire gathered the demographic and self-reported data on CRT applications. Statistical analyses, including the Pearson correlation, paired t-tests, and chi-square tests, were performed using SPSS software. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in the analytical reasoning, cognitive flexibility, and solution-oriented skills in the experimental group, with no notable changes in the control group. Participants reported increased confidence in opposing academic pressures and challenges such as cognitive and emotional barriers, educational system constraints, and uncertain environments. The findings underscore the importance of integrating CRT into educational programs to foster adaptive and reflective learners

Ethical Risk and Pathway of AIGC Cross-Modal Content Generation Technology
Get PDFThis study analyses the core technologies underlying AI-generated cross-modal content (AIGC), identifying data, algorithms, and computing power as the fundamental pillars supporting AIGC operation. And data are recognized as the underlying logic driving AI's continuous development and the source of ethical issues within AIGC. By integrating Gilbert Hottois' concept of technological accompaniment, this research incorporates multiple stakeholders to dissolve the binary opposition between humans and machines. This study explores pathways to scientifically and positively advance AIGC technologies at the micro, medium, and macro levels. It advocates for human‒machine symbiosis, enhances the frequency and potential of users' digital interactions, improves their understanding and autonomy in applications, and promotes digital literacy in the intelligent era. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of government-led initiatives and global dialog to establish a multistakeholder regulatory framework and conventions, aiming to create a more harmonious human‒machine community with a shared future
Research on the Application of AI Technology in Short Video News and Media Ethical Anomie under Field Theory
Get PDFIn the era of intelligent media, the connection between news production and digital media has become increasingly deeper and has penetrated into the stages of news gathering, production, presentation and distribution. While technology facilitates news production, it also brings new ethical challenges to the news industry, such as false news, information flooding, deep falsification and pan-entertainment of news.
On the basis of the application status of AI technology in the progress of news production, combined with Bourdieu's field theory, this paper discusses media ethical anomie in short video news from the perspectives of four fields—economy, politics, culture and technology—and from the two factors of habitus and capital of actors in the field. This paper analyzes the causes of media ethics anomie and proposes countermeasures. The use of technology has both advantages and disadvantages. During this process, human beings should occupy the main position and use technology rationally. Meanwhile, as a comprehensive field, the governance of the news industry needs the cooperation of multiple subjects to jointly create a good news environment
Examining “deceptive equivalence” in “suspension” translation from Hard Times: A case study of Quan Zenggu and Hu Wenshu’s translation
Get PDFThis study delves into the Chinese translation strategies employed for rendering "suspensions" in Charles Dickens' novel "Hard Times," utilizing a combination of literary stylistic analysis and a corpus-based approach. The analysis reveals that translators Quan Zenggu and Hu Wenshu retained 73.74% of the "suspensions" from the original text, effectively capturing Dickens' distinctive literary style. However, they also employed merging and adjusting strategies, altering 26.24% of the "suspensions" found in the source material. These modifications resulted in weakened tension arising from retrospective pauses, a diminished synchronicity between movements and speech, disruption of the irony effect, challenges in character identification and traits, and a departure from the repetitive patterns of circumstantial information present in the original work. Moreover, these alterations disrupted the effect of dramatic conflict and misled the reader's focus, thereby influencing the thematic meaning, aesthetic value, and overall portrayal of characters' personalities. Consequently, a phenomenon of "deceptive equivalence" in translation emerges from a stylistic perspective
THE PRINCIPLE OF SOVEREIGNTY AND NON-INTERFERENCE IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS IN THE EVENT OF KOSOVO'S SECESSION FROM YUGOSLAVIA
Get PDFThe sovereignty of the state is not only important for the states, but it is also of considerable importance in international law. The absolute sovereignty of the state would be weakened because the domestic state policies were becoming aggressive against their citizens, but it should be noted that this weakening was also influenced by the development of international law based on universal rights. The concept of absolute sovereignty of the state was already very outdated in international law and would be replaced by the terms 'limited sovereignty' from universal human rights and freedoms

This study reveals that people are scared about unexpected situations, and threats but expect free, fair, peaceful, transparent, and participatory elections. To solve the problems the authors formulated a framework to engage people's participation in elections. Finally, the authors encourage the policymakers and election commission to take effective steps for the proposed solution to implement the upcoming national election to be more acceptable and uncontroversial which will be held in 2024
