This paper aims to examine the role of race and gender in sustaining the capitalist world system through the lens of decolonial studies. It considers how both categories were historically constructed during the colonial process as tools to legitimize social, economic, and political hierarchies between the dominant and the dominated. In particular, the division of labor, based on racial and gendered distinctions, was instrumental in shaping these power relations. By analyzing these categories as central elements in the formation and maintenance of the capitalist world system, the study highlights their continued influence in perpetuating inequalities today.展开更多

文摘The rise of creative industries in this century has aroused strong interest in the concept“cultural capital”in academia.Cultural capital can be understood as various forms of cultural resources that achieve significant appreciation in existing economic,political,and cultural structures through active and rapid reproduction,thereby influencing changes in existing economic,political,and cultural structures,including production relations with capitalist characteristics.The capitalization of culture negates the original ecological value of culture,denies human needs for culture,undermines the true value of cultural exchange and creation,and can easily lead to the formation of cultural hegemony.However,the process of cultural capitalization and the changes in cultural values within it indicate that the capitalization of culture is to some extent an inevitable historical development.The new cultural capital has demonstrated tremendous power in promoting the development of contemporary creative industries and producing cultural masterpieces.Of course,this first requires it to refuse to become a tool for economic capital and digital technology.

文摘Slipped capital femoral epiphysis(SCFE)is a hip disorder that predominantly affects adolescents.The primary pathological change involves the displacement of the femoral head epiphysis from its normal position at the growth plate toward the metaphysis of the femoral neck.This condition can result in hip pain,abnormal gait,and even avascular necrosis of the femoral head,significantly impacting the quality of life in adolescents.Currently,the exact etiology of SCFE remains unclear;however,evidence suggests that risk factors include endocrine disorders,metabolic conditions,and genetic diseases.Endocrine disorders encompass hypothyroidism,growth hormone abnormalities,hypogonadism,and obesity-related hormonal imbalances.Metabolic conditions involve obesity,vitamin D deficiency or rickets,and renal osteodystrophy.Genetic diseases include mutations in the COL2A1 gene,aromatase deficiency,and Prader-Willi syndrome.This review summarizes various medical conditions associated with SCFE and elucidates potential molecular mechanisms from abnormal chondrocyte function in the growth plate,hormonal imbalances and inflammatory/metabolic factors in SCFE based on relevant literature,aim to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of SCFE.

文摘Cropland abandonment has been a widespread phenomenon in mountainous areas due to the increasing number of natural disasters and the massive migration of rural labor in the process of rapid urbanization.Land transfer is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring food security and fostering rural revitalization.How to promote land transfer in mountainous areas remains a challenging but important task.Nevertheless,there is a dearth of research examining land transfers among farm households that specifically address mountainous regions,and the influence of grassroots governance and geographic location has not been thoroughly elucidated within this particular context.Based on 895household samples collected in Dabie Mountainous Area in China,this study employs binary and ordinal logistic regression models to provide a more comprehensive analysis on land transfers among rural households and the determinants,including the decision to transfer land,the existence of land transfer rents,the channel of land transfer,the duration of the transfer,the pre-transfer cultivation situation,and the level of satisfaction with the land transfer rent.The findings reveal that grassroots governance,geographic location,livelihood capital,and demographic factors significantly influence land transfers among rural households.Specifically,villagers'public participation positively affects land transfer participation(β=0.235,p<0.05),while the operation of village rules and regulations negatively impacts it(β=-0.296,p<0.05).Village cadre satisfaction positively influences both land transfer rent(β=0.274,p<0.05)and rent satisfaction(β=0.303,p<0.05).Improved civil relations in the village correlate with lower land transfer rent(β=-0.511,p<0.05),while a better social atmosphere is associated with higher satisfaction with transfer rent(β=0.575,p<0.01).Households at higher elevations tend to prefer government-mediated land transfers with longer durations.The distances to the township and county centers have contrasting effects on land transfer rent,but their impacts on participation in land transfer,choice of transfer channel,and duration are consistent.The study also found that different types of livelihood capital,as well as the demographic characteristics of households,significantly affect various aspects of land transfer.These empirical findings can inform policymaking to promote more efficient land transfers in mountainous region.
文摘Under the“dual carbon”goal,local governments in China have strategically focused on enhancing capital utilization efficiency and enforcing environmental regulations to improve carbon emission performance.This dual approach targets the intertwined challenges of economic development and environmental protection.Utilizing data from 266 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2019,this study systematically investigates the effects of capital matching and environmental regulation on carbon emission performance through the spatial Durbin model and the instrumental variable method.The results indicate that both capital matching and environmental regulation significantly enhance carbon emission performance.Capital matching demonstrates positive spatial spillover effects,whereas environmental regulation exhibits negative spatial spillover effects.Furthermore,there are synergistic effects between capital matching and environmental regulation that jointly enhance carbon emission performance.To address potential biases caused by endogenous environmental regulation,the study uses the proportion of environment-related words in provincial government work reports as an instrumental variable for environmental regulation.Additionally,to capture the heterogeneity in the environmental governance willingness and intensity of prefecture-level municipal governments,the study constructs heterogeneous instrumental variables.These variables are derived by multiplying the proportion of a prefecture-level city’s total industrial output value to the province’s total industrial output value with the proportion of environment-related words in the provincial government work reports.Analyses based on these instrumental variables reveal that endogenous issues in environmental regulation lead to an overestimation of its positive impact on carbon emission performance.
文摘Higher education is transitioning from mass expansion to high-quality development.In this process,mental health issues among college students have become increasingly prominent,encompassing not only academic stress-induced anxiety but also complex challenges such as interpersonal adaptation difficulties and career planning confusion.Traditional“problem-oriented”intervention models have shown limitations in responsiveness and adaptability,often only passively addressing existing psychological crises rather than preventing them in advance.This study aims to explore an AI-powered“positive psychology”proactive intervention model through developing an intelligent system.The system automatically collects,filters,and personalizes recommendations for positive activities on campus.Using a randomized controlled trial design,we conducted an 8-week intervention study involving 126 college students at a university.The study found that AI-based“campus positive activity”recommendations effectively boost students’positive emotions and promote psychological capital development through cumulative micro-interventions.This provides universities with empirical evidence and innovative methods to implement low-cost,efficient,and scalable mental health promotion programs through smart technology.
