Synergistic Dietary Regulation and Psychological Intervention for Emotional Eating in Children and Adolescents
Childhood and adolescent obesity has become a serious public health problem, showing a rapid increase and a trend towards younger onset. Obesity is closely related to emotional eating (EE), yet there is a lack of integrated prevention and control research targeting this issue. Current research largely treats EE as a co-occurring behavior of obesity, with insufficient discussion on collaborative prevention and control in children and adolescents, and a lack of systematic pathway construction for the combined application of dietary and psychological interventions. This paper, based on the "physiological-psychological-social" ecosystem theory, takes EE as the core entry point to analyze its physiological mechanism of association with obesity, reviews the research progress of dietary regulation and psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness intervention, and constructs an integrated obesity prevention and control pathway that combines precise dietary regulation with psychological intervention at the family, school, and community levels. This study provides a theoretical and practical basis for improving the effectiveness of childhood and adolescent obesity prevention and control and perfecting the multi-party collaborative system, and also provides a new overall approach for related prevention and control work. Future research still needs to conduct large-scale longitudinal studies, combined with digital technology and policy support, to achieve personalized and precise management of EE and obesity in children and adolescents, while promoting the further implementation of the multi-party collaborative prevention and control system.

Research on the Ideological Functions and Implementation Paths of Education on the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
In the critical period characterized by “unseen changes in a century” and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, national identity and ideological security face diverse challenges from both domestic and international fronts. Existing literature exhibits certain limitations on this issue, particularly regarding theoretical gaps in the construction and education of the sense of community for the Chinese nation. This paper analyzes the evolutionary process of the “sense of community,” integrates it with Marxist ethnic theory, and dissects the triple core functions of this educational framework. Furthermore, it proposes practical paths for improvement and provides an outlook for future development. The study argues that education on the sense of community for the Chinese nation is a strategic ideological project that carries multiple formative functions—political, historical, and value-based. It plays a vital role in dismantling erroneous Western viewpoints, fostering a cohesive collective consciousness, and promoting national rejuvenation. In view of this, this research aims to deepen the understanding of the “Sinicization and Modernization of Marxist Ethnic Theory” and provide a reference framework for the functional analysis of ideology.

A Study on the Acceptance and Trust of AIGC-Generated News
In the era of intelligent media, the issues of acceptance and trust in AIGC-generated news content have become a topic of significant academic interest. Therefore, this paper conducts a multilevel examination of issues related to AI-generated news; from the audience’s perspective, a survey was conducted among 452 domestic users. This study employed a questionnaire and descriptive statistics for empirical analysis and revealed that personal characteristics such as age, educational background, and frequency of exposure significantly and positively affected audience acceptance and trust. More notably, this study identified the key factors for enhancing public trust: content authenticity and technological maturity. It also highlighted that trust served as a crucial mediating variable in the relationship between AIGC-generated news and its audience; the lack of emotional resonance and authenticity in AI news was a primary concern for the public. Consequently, this research provided valuable insights for media organizations seeking to optimize industry standards for AIGC news production.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Corporate Resilience: Evidence from A-Share Listed Companies
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, firms’ capacity to adapt to and recover from external shocks has been significantly enhanced. Using data from A-share listed companies, this study examines the impact of AI on corporate resilience through regression analysis, robustness tests, and heterogeneity analysis. The empirical results reveal a U-shaped relationship between AI and corporate resilience. Specifically, in the initial stage, AI may pose adaptive challenges to firms; however, as the technology gradually matures, its positive effect on enhancing corporate resilience becomes increasingly significant. In addition, AI indirectly improves corporate resilience by optimizing the talent chain, innovation chain, and supply chain. Further heterogeneity analysis shows that the resilience-enhancing effects of AI differ significantly across firms with different industry affiliations, regional locations, and ownership structures. This study provides both theoretical support and practical implications for firms seeking to balance the risks and opportunities associated with AI during digital transformation.

International Communication Strategies and Effects of Chinese Brands’ Public Service Advertisements on Overseas Social Media: A Case Study of Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” Program
This study takes the overseas dissemination of Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” program on YouTube as a case to explore the communication strategies and effects of Chinese brands’ public service advertisements abroad. Through content analysis, it finds that the advertisements deeply integrate the brand into the universal values of educational empowerment and technological inclusiveness by employing a complete “Hero’s Journey” narrative, emotionally charged visual presentation, and subtle brand integration. A questionnaire survey (N=130) shows that the advertisements significantly enhanced overseas audiences’ brand favorability and trust, while effectively stimulating emotional resonance and value identification. This research reveals an effective path for Chinese brands to build brand identification in overseas markets through value resonance.

The Competitiveness Transformation Path of Emotional Consumption of the Silver-haired Group and Corporate ESG Practices in the Digital Era: An Exploratory Case Study Based on Company
Against the dual background of deepening population aging and rapid popularization of digital consumption in China, the emotional needs of the silver-haired group have become a core force influencing consumption behavior and corporate strategic choices. Existing studies lack systematic micro-mechanism explanations for the emotional demand structure of the elderly in digital consumption, the response mechanism of corporate ESG practices to emotional needs, and the internal path of transforming social value into brand competitiveness. This study takes company's silver-haired services as the research object, using multi-source data from 2020 to 2024 and grounded theory for analysis. The results show that the elderly have four core emotional rigid demands: security, dignity, companionship, and communication. company has formed a three-in-one ESG practice system, and realized brand competitiveness improvement through a chain transmission mechanism of individual trust, intergenerational word-of-mouth, and social reputation. This study constructs a theoretical model, revealing the micro transmission path of ESG value transformation.

The Evolution of Bai Liusu’s Female Subject Consciousness: Gender and Identity Construction in “Love in a Fallen City”
Using Simone de Beauvoir’s theory of female identity in The Second Sex as the core perspective, combined with research methods from psychology and sociology, this paper analyzes the evolution of Bai Liusu’s female subject consciousness in Love in a Fallen City—from her status as the “Other” under traditional patriarchal discipline to her gradual awakening and reconstruction of self amid gender power struggles and historical upheavals. This study particularly focuses on Bai Liusu’s persistent focus on “self-preservation” within relationships, and how she uses marriage, a seemingly traditional vehicle, to actually confirm her sense of self-worth and existence. This process is less a pure act of “female liberation” and more an individual’s attempt to construct a low-energy, sustainable emotional self-preservation system within a limited space of existence—she needs to be needed, but this need ultimately serves the confirmation of her own subjectivity.

The Active Practice of Rural Creativity: Exploration of Multi-dimensional Paths of Art Intervention in Rural Revitalization
In the context of rural revitalization, localized artistic practices have emerged as pivotal vehicles for activating rural resources and reshaping cultural identity. In this study, the “Bao Xiaoguang’s Earthy Three Kingdoms” video series and the Tiananmen-themed mural installation in Henan village are used as case studies, and how local communities transform cultural symbols into endogenous drivers for rural revitalization through artistic design initiatives is explored. The research demonstrates that such practices not only redefine rural visual landscapes but also establish multidimensional pathways for cultural reproduction, economic empowerment, and social cohesion through media dissemination, emotional engagement, and community participation. Moving beyond the conventional “art in rural areas” narrative, this study emphasizes the creative agency of local stakeholders, providing academic insights with both theoretical depth and practical implications for rural revitalization efforts.

Longmen Hao Old Street Historical and Cultural Scenic Area: One of the Twelve Scenic Spots of Ba-Yu A Study on the Path to Balancing Cultural Heritage Preservation and Commercial Development
Study on the Balancing Path between Cultural Heritage and Commercial Development in the Longmenhao Old Street Historical and Cultural Scenic Area of Bayu Twelve Scenes. Against the backdrop of rapid tourism development in the new era, historical and cultural scenic areas face deep-seated contradictions between cultural heritage preservation and commercial development. Taking Chongqing’s Longmenhao Old Street as a case study, this research employs questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and literature analysis to systematically investigate the marginalization of cultural value in the process of commercialization. The findings reveal that 73% of tourists visit for cultural value, yet over half believe that cultural promotion falls short of expectations, indicating a prevalent “commerce over culture” imbalance. This contradiction stems from three dimensions: short-term interest orientation in decision-making logic, demand misjudgment at the execution level, and standardized supply in supply-demand matching. The study further uncovers multiple conflicts between commercialization and cultural heritage in terms of goal logic, value orientation, and spatial resource allocation. Based on these findings, this paper proposes balancing paths including optimizing cultural presentation methods, establishing multi-stakeholder collaborative governance mechanisms, and implementing scientific intervention experiments, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for achieving dynamic balance between preservation and development in historical and cultural scenic areas.

The Formation Mechanism of Involution in Chinese Family Education from the Perspective of Comparison Psychology and Its Negative Impacts on Children’s Social Relationship Development
The involution phenomenon in the field of family education in contemporary China has become a widely discussed educational and social issue. It is characterized by low-level homogeneous competition, irrational investment in educational resources, and the widespread prevalence of parental educational anxiety. This study takes parental comparison psychology as the core entry point, employing literature research and logical analysis methods, and drawing on relevant theories such as social comparison theory, positive psychology, and developmental psychology. It analyzes the formation mechanism by which comparison psychology drives the involution of family education and explores the multiple adverse effects of the resulting over-parenting behaviors on the establishment and development of children’s subsequent social relationships. The study finds that parental comparison psychology is the core psychological driver of involution in family education. It is jointly propelled by multiple factors at the social-cultural, family structural, individual cognitive, and school behavioral levels. The high-expectation, high-investment, and high-anxiety parenting model it triggers hinders the healthy development of children’s social relationships in terms of self-cognition, social skills, and mental health. Based on these findings, this study proposes preliminary coping strategies from the three levels of society, family, and school, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical insights for alleviating parental comparison psychology, breaking the involution of family education, and promoting children’s social development.

Job Search Game Under an Algorithmic Black Box: Generation of Group Biases in Recruitment Platforms and Individual Adaptation Strategies
With the popularization of digital recruitment platforms in the era of artificial intelligence, algorithmic screening has become a core and indispensable component of talent matching in the modern labor market. However, inherent algorithmic opacity and historical data biases tend to give rise to obvious group prejudices based on gender, educational background, age, and regional origin, thereby further exacerbating the structural inequalities that exist in the current employment market. Existing academic research focuses primarily on the macrolevel governance paths of algorithmic discrimination, with relatively insufficient in-depth exploration of the microlevel game logic of job seekers and the construction of systematic adaptation strategies. In this paper, mainstream recruitment algorithms are taken as the core research object; the multidimensional specific manifestations and internal generation mechanisms of group prejudices in algorithm screening are systematically investigated; and the complex interactive relationships among job seekers, recruitment platforms, and enterprises as well as realistic individual predicaments are analysed on the basis of the classic theory of incomplete information games, and a scientific four-in-one adaptation strategy system encompassing resume optimization, channel selection, proactive communication, and ability enhancement is constructed. An empirical study revealed that active and targeted individual adaptation can effectively avoid the negative impact of algorithmic bias and significantly improve the overall job search success rates of different groups while providing important microlevel references for platform algorithm optimization and the improvement of relevant regulatory policies. It holds important practical significance for promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of efficiency and fairness in the field of digital recruitment in China.

Review of the WTO Compliance of Subsidy Measures in the U.S. and EU Chip Acts and China’s Countermeasure Strategies
Since 2022, the United States has enacted the CHIPS and Science Act, and the European Union has adopted the European Chips Act. Both have implemented massive fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, and other support measures to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity, while also incorporating so-called “guardrail clauses” that restrict investment in China. Taking WTO rules as the analytical framework, this paper systematically examines the WTO compliance of these measures based on the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) and the non-discrimination principles under GATT 1994. On this basis, the paper proposes that China should establish a multi-dimensional response system to address the impact of unilateralism on the global semiconductor industry chain and the multilateral trading system.

Art Intervention and Rural Population Mobility: Research on Hongjiang Art Village in Guizhou
Since the 21st century, with the acceleration of urbanization, the transformation of rural areas to postproductivism, and the prospect of rural revitalization, art intervention has become important for reshaping rural space and adjusting the structure of the rural population. Taking Hongjiang International Art Village in Guizhou as a typical case, this paper performs a systematic analysis of art intervention and rural population flow from three perspectives—space production, field reconstruction and life-world change—by introducing Lefebvre’s space production theory, Bourdieu’s field theory and the life-world perspective. It is concluded that there is a two-way system mechanism between art intervention and rural population flow. Specifically, art intervention creates a new rural space form through physical space reconstruction, symbolic space reconstruction and social space reorganization. In this space, foreign artists and local villagers are in different field positions, and they take advantage of capital conversion to achieve limited but real social integration by means of habitus adjustment. More importantly, art intervention has essentially changed the life world of aborigines and formed a new local ballet of moving, staying and meeting. The actual effect of art’s mediation of population mobility depends on the coupling of the three mechanisms of spatial openness, field autonomy and life-world continuity. Therefore, this paper provides a complete and solid theoretical framework for art-driven rural transformation, which has positive implications for rural revitalization policy.

Research on Art and Design-Driven Sustainable and Endogenous Rural Development
The sustainability of rural revitalization has become among the most important socioeconomic development strategies in China. The research questions here revolve around the essence of art and design, positioning endogenous development dynamics in rural settings involving the exploration of the mechanisms of profound interaction and long-term change by art and design in rural regeneration. At present, rural revitalization strategies place more emphasis on immediate financial benefits without considering endogenous forces in the long term. This leads to a more urgent issue: how villages maintain and extend the development effects of external artists once they have gone when early finances are drained away. In accordance with case studies of artistic rural development at Deqing, Zhejiang, and Qingtian, this paper develops a four-dimensional analytical model: Cultural Capital Activation - Subject Capacity Reconstruction - Industrial Ecosystem Construction - Institutional Environment Reinvention. This framework shows how art and design work to bring about endogenous rural development through the mechanisms of operational or core challenges and optimal ways of operation. As the research suggests, the successful implementation of art-based rural development depends on the successful transformation of cultural capital and the significant rebuilding of the agency of village dwellers, which requires the introduction of a multilayered assessment system at the economic, social, cultural, and environmental levels. The collaboration with multiple sectors and the development led by the community should become the focus of future research. By building a strong synergy paradigm, where the people of the village are the decision makers and external forces are the facilitators, it is possible to actually incorporate art design into the rural fabric. This will ease the paradigm change so that it does not have to intervene but rather be driven by internal forces that guarantee long-term mechanisms and sustainable development toward rural revitalization in China.

A Study on Cultural Default and Compensation Strategies —— A Comparative Analysis Based on the English Translation of Poems and Allusions in A Dream of Red Mansions
Cultural default is a pivotal issue in literary translation, particularly prominent in the translation of classic Chinese literary works. From the perspective of translation theory, this paper takes the English translation of poems and allusions in A Dream of Red Mansions as the research starting point to explore the causes of cultural default and its corresponding compensation strategies. The study finds that the absence of cultural elements at linguistic, cultural and aesthetic levels poses challenges to the accuracy and readability of translated texts. To this end, this paper proposes compensation strategies such as the combination of literal and free translation, the addition of annotations and interpretations, and cultural substitution and transformation, aiming to provide references for translation practice through theoretical construction. These strategies not only help improve the quality of translations but also promote the cross-cultural communication of culture. The study further points out that compensation strategies for cultural default should be flexibly adjusted according to cultural differences to achieve the dual goals of translation: faithfulness to the original text and adaptation to the target culture. Through theoretical analysis and case comparison, this paper offers a new perspective for translation research and emphasizes the importance of cultural elements in the translation process and the necessity of corresponding compensation strategies.

An Analysis of China’s “Common Prosperity” Policy: Origins, Implementation, and Socioeconomic Outcomes
This article examines China’s post-2021 Common Prosperity agenda as a state-led response to inequality after four decades of high-speed growth. Rather than treating the policy as a slogan, it analyzes Common Prosperity as a mechanism bundle linking distributional adjustment, public-service equalization, and local governance reform. The article first traces the concept’s political genealogy from socialist teleology to its current role in Xi Jinping’s development strategy, then identifies the main national-level instruments: labor-income support, redistribution and social protection, tertiary distribution, and coordinated regional and rural development. Empirically, it uses two Zhejiang cases—Cuiyuan No.1 Community in Hangzhou and Dachen Town in Taizhou—to compare how a shared policy agenda is translated into distinct local pathways under different structural conditions. The findings suggest that early outcomes have been real but limited: some moderation of inequality, continued narrowing of the urban-rural income ratio, and broader policy attention to education, healthcare, pensions, and community-level welfare provision. At the same time, implementation remains constrained by fiscal pressures, dependence on land- and debt-based local finance, uneven local capacity, and the difficulty of converting campaign-style mobilization into stable institutions. The article argues that Common Prosperity is best understood not as an abrupt egalitarian turn, but as a gradual and politically managed recalibration of China’s developmental model.

An Adolescent Murder Shaped by Toxic Masculinity:A Case Study of Adolescence (2025)
This paper examines how male adolescents are shaped by the culture of toxic masculinity embedded in family upbringing, peer culture, and social media, using the British television drama Adolescence (2025) as a case study. It centres on Jamie Miller, a thirteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a female classmate after she responds with contempt to his romantic confession. Rather than attributing Jamie’s crime solely to his personality flaws, the study interprets it as a product from the widespread culture of toxic masculinity in today’s society. Within the framework, the family serves as the root of the problem, reflected in the presence of an inadequate father figure, while distorted peer culture and social media act as powerful catalysts. At the same time, the failure of institutional oversight by the family, school, and wider society prevents the formation of an effective protective network that might otherwise have shielded thousands of “Jamies” from the influence of toxic masculine norms. By tracing these mechanisms, the paper contributes to ongoing debates about toxic masculinity in contemporary youth culture.

Development and Application of an Emotion Analysis Agent — A Prototype Study on Multi-Group Emotional State Assessment and Guidance
In the digital age, public emotional health has become a prominent concern, with significant differences across population groups, highlighting the need for scientifically grounded and adaptable intelligent support tools. This study developed an emotion analysis agent capable of assessing emotional states across multiple groups and providing preliminary guidance recommendations. Through systematic literature review integrating emotional psychology and affective computing, we proposed a theoretical framework for multi-group emotional state assessment and guidance. Based on this framework, we designed a questionnaire combining self-developed items on emotional factors with standardized clinical scales (GAD-7, BDI-II) and surveyed 79 respondents spanning adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Data analysis revealed two main findings: emotional resources increased with age, with older adults scoring highest across all dimensions; and although average scores fell within normal ranges, over half of respondents reported intermittent mild anxiety, indicating widespread subclinical distress. Guided by the framework and data, we implemented a rule-based agent prototype, demonstrating the technical feasibility of an assessment-guidance closed loop. This study bridges psychological theory and computational modeling, demonstrates a replicable undergraduate-level research path, and provides a prototype foundation for developing accessible, age-sensitive digital mental health tools.

From Geographical to Bloodline: Clan Genealogy Research of New Village Records in Northwest Shanxi -Taking the Village Records of Hequ County in Shanxi Province as an Example
This study examines the newly compiled village annals of Hequ County in Northwest Shanxi Province through archival analysis and field research. The findings reveal a notable phenomenon: the incorporation of genealogical records into local chronicles. As both historical documentation and living records of family lineage, these genealogies serve dual purposes in Hequ County—functioning as residential records for specific villages or clan branches, while also documenting mixed populations of different families. Unlike traditional family histories, village annals specifically record the demographic and social conditions within defined administrative boundaries, reflecting geographical relationships. They provide a more comprehensive and systematic account of economic, political, cultural, and social developments. Through this scholarly analysis, the paper explores the distinctive features of newly compiled village annals in Northwest Shanxi, examines the integration of village chronicles with clan genealogies, and discusses their broader significance.

The “Meta-intermediary” of News Access: The Reconstruction of Journalistic Authority in the Age of Generative AI
Generative AI, through a four-fold mechanism of “query translation-cross-source retrieval-content integration-discursive reformulation,” packages multi-source information into coherent dialogues with itself as the narrative subject, thereby ascending to the position of a “meta-intermediary” situated above existing platforms. This process accomplishes the “re-intermediation” of already-mediated information. It not only reshapes the pathways of information access but, more profoundly, reconstructs journalistic authority. Beyond the traditional “institutional authority” and “platform authority,” a new “model authority” emerges, based on anthropomorphic interaction and cognitive outsourcing. These three form a dynamically contested triangular structure, leading to structural impacts such as the narrowing of public agendas (agenda circuit-breaking), the stripping of news brand value (white-labeling), and the blurring of accountability. Accordingly, this paper argues that the governance paradigm must evolve from content control to the holistic regulation of cognitive structures. It proposes collaborative governance pathways, including constructing an “auditable chain of meaning generation,” designing ecosystem-level accountability and value compensation mechanisms, and empowering news organizations to become dominant interpreters. This study seeks to move beyond the technical discourse of “channel substitution,” offering new theoretical perspectives and policy insights for understanding the reorganization of power within the news ecosystem and the safeguarding of publicness in the era of intelligent communication.

Formation Mechanism of Spectator Sport Consumption Behavior: A Case Study of Dalian Football
Spectator sport consumption has emerged as a new growth area within the service economy and plays an important role in expanding domestic demand and empowering urban development. However, spectator sport consumption in China currently faces the dilemma of “aggregate expansion accompanied by structural imbalance.” Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, this study constructs an integrated analytical framework of “external stimuli–psychological responses–behavioral outcomes.” Taking the football market in Dalian as a representative case, this research employs both interviews and questionnaire surveys to systematically examine the formation mechanism of spectator sport consumption behavior. The findings indicate that spectators’ game-attending behavior results from the joint influence of antecedent variables-such as product attributes, personal interest, and opportunity availability-which operate through psychological mechanisms including perceived value, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and behavioral intention, with situational perception serving a moderating role. At present, spectator consumption faces several challenges, including high enthusiasm but insufficient sustainability, significant differences in psychological need satisfaction, and multiple constraints hindering behavioral conversion. Accordingly, this study proposes guidance strategies from three dimensions-optimizing the experience structure, strengthening competence experience, and deepening emotional attachment-aiming to provide both theoretical and practical references for promoting the high-quality development of spectator sport consumption.

Examination and Improvement Pathways of Civil Online Litigation Rules
In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet technology and the continuous advancement of judicial informatization, civil online litigation rules have gradually become an important topic in China’s judicial practice. On the basis of systematically reviewing the institutional value of civil online litigation rules, this paper selects two typical cases-the online hearing of a marriage dispute by the Jinxi County People’s Court and the video hearing of a financial loan dispute by the Wuzhishan City People’s Court-to analyze the application methods and practical effects of online litigation rules in specific judicial operations. The study finds that civil online litigation demonstrates clear advantages in improving litigation efficiency and reducing litigants’ costs; however, certain deficiencies remain. In response to these issues, this paper proposes corresponding improvement pathways from the following aspects: improving shared network infrastructure platforms, clarifying the scope of application of online litigation and standardizing procedural operations, strengthening the rule awareness of litigation participants and judicial personnel, reinforcing network technology and data security safeguards, and optimizing judicial procedures outside online court hearings. It is hoped that these suggestions will provide reference for promoting the standardized development and effective implementation of civil online litigation rules.

Hearing ‘Her’ Voice - A Study of Female Music Narrative in the Film Her Story
In recent years, many excellent feminist films have emerged in China. This study takes the film Her Story directed by Shao Yihui as the object to analyze how it integrates musical narrative and feminism to build a unique female music narrative system. The film uses sound montage and distinctive music inserts. Music and other means present the life difficulties and emotional exploration processes faced by three women of different ages. Music has become a key medium for them to self-examine, realize emotional catharsis, establish connections with each other and even achieve empowerment. The study analyzes the dual metaphorical function of music in the film and how to help female characters achieve self-expression and growth. It also explores the setting of male characters as “voiceless people” in the film. The study believes that the musical narrative in Her Story expands the dimension of feminist films in Chinese films and provides a new model for the interpretation of contemporary women’s films.

The Influence of Parents ‘Language Scaffold Style on Adolescents’ Academic Resilience
Based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, this study systematically deconstructs the core dimension of parental language ‘scaffolding’ style, reveals its direct effect on adolescents’ academic resilience, as well as the chain mediating role of self-efficacy and learning motivation through empirical analysis, and further explores the moderating effect of group differences and academic stress situations. The results show that the parental language ‘scaffolding’ style has a significant positive predictive effect on adolescents’ academic resilience, and self-efficacy and learning motivation form a chain mediating path. There is heterogeneity in this influence relationship between adolescents with different individual characteristics, and the adaptability of interaction patterns in academic stress scenarios will moderate this effect. This study not only enriches the theoretical research on parental language intervention and adolescents’ academic development, but also provides an empirical basis and strategic reference for optimizing parental language interaction patterns and improving adolescents’ academic resilience in family education practice.

Research on Social Work Intervention for Social Isolation of Urban Elderly at the Current Stage
In recent years, China’s aging population has become an increasingly serious issue, bringing profound impacts to society. Social isolation among urban elderly individuals has become more prominent, significantly affecting their quality of life and mental and physical health. In addressing population aging, a pressing challenge is to alleviate and ultimately eliminate social isolation among urban elderly, improving the situation where older adults feel isolated and excluded from society. Against this backdrop, this paper proposes innovative social work intervention approaches based on the latest elder care policy directions, aiming to promote healthy aging and the development of age-friendly societies.

The Transmission Path of Tourists’ Perceived Crowding and Consumption Behavior: Evidence from Lijiang Ancient Town
Ancient towns designated as World Cultural Heritage sites attract large-scale tourist flows due to their unique landscape features, often resulting in severe crowding issues. However, the internal mechanisms through which perceived crowding influences tourists’ consumption decisions remain underexplored. This study conducts a questionnaire survey in Lijiang Ancient Town, collecting 323 valid samples, and constructs a structural equation model (SEM) of “perceived crowding-conformity psychology-tourist consumption behavior.” The findings indicate that perceived crowding has no direct significant impact on tourists’ immediate consumption behavior or sustained consumption intention. Perceived crowding significantly positively induces tourists’ conformity psychology, as individuals in high-density environments tend to seek group identification to mitigate decision-making risks. Conformity psychology plays a complete mediating role between perceived crowding and tourist consumption behavior, serving as the core transmission “bridge” linking spatial environmental perception to actual consumption actions. This study reveals the psychological mechanisms underlying the “the more crowded, the more they buy” phenomenon in tourism settings and provides practical implications for ancient town scenic areas to enhance commercial conversion efficiency through optimized crowd guidance and consumption atmosphere creation.

A Comparative Study of China’s Railway Diplomacy under the Background of the “Belt and Road” Initiative: Taking the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway and the China-Thailand Railway as Examples
High-speed railway diplomacy is an integral component of China’s Belt and Road Initiative and a major subject in the study of China’s diplomacy. The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway and the China-Thailand Railway(which is also called the Sino Thai Railway) are important representatives of China’s railway diplomacy in Southeast Asia. Against the backdrop of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, this paper aims to explore the differences in the effectiveness of high-speed rail diplomacy between China and different countries as well as the underlying reasons by conducting an in-depth analysis of the cases of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway and the China-Thailand Railway, employing qualitative and comparative analysis research methods. It also dissects the characteristics of China’s high-speed rail diplomacy model and strategies. This analysis demonstrates that China’s high-speed railway diplomacy is not a uniform strategy; instead, the approaches adopted are contingent on the host country’s specific conditions, including its state capacity, political regime and negotiation strategies. This study summarizes a current railway diplomacy model in China based on existing data, which includes “Technology Export, Standard Export, and Diplomatic Maintenance”. The proposed model not only contributes to the theoretical framework of China’s infrastructure diplomacy but also offers valuable insights for the future trajectory of its railway diplomacy.

Research on the Sustainable Development of Huimin Insurance within the Multi-Level Health Security System: A Case Study of C City
The inclusive commercial health insurance model of Huimin Insurance plays an important role in improving the multi-level security pattern and reducing the economic burden of healthcare for the general public. This paper applies a mixed research method that involves questionnaires and interview methods to investigate the current situation and sustainable development paths for the Huimin Insurance model in City C from both supply-side and demand-side perspectives. The research shows that the gap between income levels and supply guarantees affects the scale and enthusiasm for insurance. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of asymmetric information between insurers and consumers has led to cognitive biases and trust gaps between insurers and consumers. Furthermore, the gap between consumer demands and service qualities affects the depth of insurance coverage and satisfaction rates. Based on the research findings, relevant recommendations are put forward in this paper, aiming to provide theoretical support for the sustainable development of inclusive insurance products in City C and similar areas.

Exceptions to the Principle of Non-Extradition of Nationals: A Comparative Analysis of Extradition Practices between the European Union and China
Extradition, as a vital mechanism for international criminal judicial cooperation, faces practical challenges in upholding national jurisdiction over its own citizens while potentially shielding criminals and hindering international collaboration. This paper examines the legal frameworks, practical models, and underlying institutional logic governing exceptions to the principle of non-extradition of nationals in both the European Union and China. Employing comparative analysis, case studies, and literature review, it systematically investigates these approaches. Findings reveal that the EU has achieved a paradigm shift from ‘absolute non-extradition’ to ‘principle of surrender with exceptions’ through supranational legislation such as the European Arrest Warrant, reflecting a governance logic of sovereign concession and judicial integration. China, grounded in its Extradition Law and upholding the principle of absolute sovereignty, has instead established a cautious adaptation model of ‘principle of refusal with exceptions subject to negotiation’ through bilateral treaties and domestic procedures. These divergences stem from multiple factors including legal systems, conceptions of sovereignty, judicial traditions, and cultural values. Building upon this analysis, this paper proposes that China should systematically refine its extradition exception mechanisms while upholding national sovereignty. This refinement should encompass adding mandatory provisions to domestic law, standardising exception clauses in bilateral treaties, and strengthening judicial review procedures. Such measures would enable more effective participation in global criminal judicial cooperation, achieving a balance between safeguarding sovereignty and punishing crime.
