On C-E Subtitle Translation of New Gods: Nezha Reborn under Skopos Theory

Hongrui Cao — 2025-09-17

Translation plays a vital role in fostering communication and building a bridge for people to get to know a different culture. With the boom of the film industry, films have gradually become a pivotal vehicle in cross-cultural communication. As Chinese films inevitably carry distinctive cultural elements, subtitle quality greatly impacts how well international audiences understand both the narrative and embedded cultural references. This thesis examines the Chinese-to-English subtitles of a Chinese animated film, New Gods: Nezha Reborn, analyzing translation strategies and methods through the lens of Skopos Theory. The study reveals that the translation adheres to the Skopos rule through the use of free translation; follows the coherence rule by employing the domestication translation strategy; and respects the fidelity rule by applying the foreignization translation strategy. Under this view, it is effortless for the foreign audience to grasp the film’s main plot and the high-context Chinese culture. This study can provide guidance for practical subtitle translation and improve effective cross-cultural interaction.

Zhiwei Pan — 2025-09-17

As a region that started early in the development of the digital economy, Zhejiang’s digital inclusive finance has effectively promoted rural revitalization by alleviating rural financing difficulties, promoting industrial integration, and effectively promoting rural revitalization. This article uses panel data from Zhejiang Province from 2014 to 2022 to empirically explore the impact and mechanism of digital inclusive finance on rural revitalization in Zhejiang Province. The study uses the entropy weight method to build a comprehensive evaluation index for rural revitalization, and combines it with Peking University’s digital inclusive finance index to construct a fixed effects model for regression analysis. Multiple collinearity tests, heteroscedasticity tests, and other analyses are used to ensure the reliability of the model. Research has found that: (1) Digital inclusive finance has a significant promoting effect on rural revitalization; (2) The income gap between urban and rural areas shows a significant negative correlation, and as an important prerequisite for rural revitalization, it is necessary to narrow the urban-rural gap; (3) Although fiscal intervention has shown positive effects, it demonstrates policy synergy with digital finance and needs to enhance resource allocation efficiency. This article provides theoretical support and practical reference for Zhejiang Province to deepen the reform of digital inclusive finance and improve rural revitalization policies. It is suggested to achieve the coordinated promotion of digital finance penetration, precise fiscal investment, and regional differentiated policies, and create a model of digital empowerment for rural revitalization.

Intergroup Contact Theory: Theoretical Evolution and Application in the Chinese Context

Chaolemeng Du — 2025-09-17

Intergroup Contact Theory (IGCT) has evolved as a foundational framework in social psychology for understanding and improving interactions between diverse groups. This study traces the theoretical development of IGCT, from its early origins in addressing intergroup tensions in post-WWII societies to its formalization by Gordon Allport, who emphasized the “optimal conditions” for positive contact (equal status, common goals, cooperation, and institutional support). Subsequent advancements expanded the theory’s scope, including extensions to indirect contact (e.g., imagined or extended contact) and refined mechanisms (cognitive, affective, and behavioral pathways). The paper also examines the adaptation and application of IGCT in the Chinese context, where scholars have progressively integrated the theory with local realities, particularly in educational settings. Early introductions focused on theoretical translation, while recent studies explore its relevance in culturally diverse classrooms, campus environments, and community interactions, highlighting the role of institutional support and contextualized practices in fostering constructive intergroup relations. This analysis underscores IGCT’s adaptability across cultural contexts and its utility for promoting inclusive interactions, offering insights for researchers and practitioners working in diverse societies.

Artificial Intelligence and Social Interaction: Evidence from Gift Money Expenditure

Ziyu Han — 2025-09-17

As artificial intelligence proliferates rapidly, understanding its impact on social interaction patterns becomes critical. Using national survey data and gift money expenditure as a proxy for social interaction, the study employs instrumental variable methods to identify the causal effect of AI use on individual social behavior. The study documents three key findings. First, AI use significantly reduces traditional social interaction through substitution effects, with instrumental variable estimates showing that OLS substantially underestimates the true magnitude, confirming the technology substitution hypothesis. Second, diminished social willingness serves as a key mediating mechanism—AI use reduces social behavior by weakening non-family social preferences, demonstrating how technology shapes behavior through preference channels. Third, the substitution effect exhibits significant demographic heterogeneity, with younger, more educated, and higher-income individuals displaying greater sensitivity to technology adoption, consistent with digital divide patterns. These findings provide micro-empirical evidence of social relationship transformation in the digital era. The results suggest policymakers should emphasize social inclusiveness in AI adoption while promoting balanced development between digital innovation and traditional social engagement.

From “Field Immersion” to “Portrayal”: A Study on the Ethnic Space Construction in Intangible Cultural Heritage Micro-Documentaries

Guang Liu — 2025-09-17

In the context of digital technology reshaping the film and television communication ecosystem, micro-documentaries, with their short duration and lightweight characteristics, have become an important medium for the dissemination of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). As a composite of material and spiritual culture, the ethnic characteristics of ICH need to be visually represented through the creative construction of cinematic space. This paper, based on a film and television arts perspective, uses “space construction” as the core analytical framework to explore how ICH micro-documentaries achieve ethnic visual expression through “residence-based” realistic space documentation, “portrayal-based” psychological space symbolization, and “synchronized” cultural space visual encoding. The study finds that these works, through audiovisual construction of geographical landscapes and life scenes, psychological space presentation of the emotions and cognition of inheritors, and symbolic reorganization of audiovisual elements like costumes, lighting, and composition, not only represent the socialized living heritage of ICH but also strengthen ethnic cultural identity through the unique narrative logic of documentary film.

China Chick “Guochao” and the Micro-Level Display of Culture

Li-Min Lin — 2025-09-17

This research examines the complex role of Guochao, China Chick, in contemporary Chinese cultural production, moving beyond simple binary evaluations of its effectiveness. Employing the “Culture on Display” framework, this paper analyzes cultural economy performances at the micro level to explore how Guochao leverages consumer imagination and multiple interpretations to reconstruct “Invented Traditions.” This study reveals how deliberately reducing authoritative narration (“Authority Minus the Author”) creates spaces for interpretation that engage readers as active participants in creating meaning. The findings show that this process breaks down predetermined meanings and national narratives, transforming cultural production into both public exhibition and market product. We conclude that this transformation helps Guochao emerge as a powerful carrier of nationalist discourse, enhancing the understanding of contemporary cultural nationalism and consumer behavior.

A Study of Sense of Virtual Community: Empirical Realities and Structural Aspirations

Juan Chen — 2025-09-17

This study investigates the development of a sense of virtual community (SOVC) within a WeChat-based professional learning community for foreign language instructors in China. Grounded in McMillan & Chavis’s (1986) four-dimensional framework—membership, influence, needs fulfillment, and shared emotional connection—the research employs a modified Sense of Community Index (SCI) to assess 192 instructors’ perceptions. Findings reveal a paradoxical duality: while the community demonstrates strong instrumental functionality and symbolic identity, critical relational dimensions remain fragmented. Membership shows robust shared purpose, yet influence is hindered by low member familiarity and ambivalent commitment. Emotional connection relies heavily on past collective experiences and future optimism but lacks consistent present-day engagement. The study attributes these gaps to cultural factors and structural over-reliance on administrative efficiency. To reconcile these tensions, the authors propose a cyber-physical integration framework leveraging WeChat’s native features, including tiered identity systems, rotating moderation, and anonymized emotional support channels. The results highlight the need to balance transactional utility with communal praxis in virtual professional learning environments, offering actionable insights for designing human-centered digital communities in post-pandemic education.

Research and Practice of Multi-dimensional Chinese Character Quantification Evaluation Methods

Peng Deng — 2025-09-17

Addressing the pain points of traditional Chinese character evaluation, which is highly subjective and lacks quantitative standards, this paper proposes a three-dimensional intelligent quantitative evaluation model for Chinese characters based on “accuracy—balance—standardization”, transitioning from experience-driven to data-driven evaluation: improving multi-model convolutional neural networks to extract stroke keypoints for accuracy assessment, combining image moments with cosine similarity to measure center of gravity deviation for balance evaluation, and using 3×3 grid pixel density ratios to characterize structural framework for standardization measurement. The model operates in a closed-loop system of “recognition—quantification—fuzzy comprehensive evaluation”, enhancing recognition accuracy through hard voting, automatically calibrating the scoring range using the “best-worst sample set”, and obtaining intelligent weights of 39:32:29 through backpropagation training. Experiments on four types of samples from the CASIA-HWDB1.1 and custom datasets show that the average error between the model and expert scores under intelligent weights is significantly lower than that of the two fixed weights, providing a practical quantitative evaluation tool for Chinese character education and cultural heritage.

The Pressure Transmission Mechanism of Medical Representatives during Policy Shock Periods: A Dynamic Analysis Based on the JDR Model

Xin Yu — 2025-09-17

Against the backdrop of the normalization of volume-based procurement and the increasingly strict governance of medical insurance, medical representatives are confronted with cumulative pressure from both the “organization-individual” dual paths. Based on the JDR (Job Requirements—Resources) model, this paper constructs a dynamic framework suitable for policy shock periods: At the organizational level, the policy frequency increases and the job requirements increment is formed through institutional compliance, indicator reconstruction and process reengineering; At the individual level, medical representatives experience emotional exhaustion due to the increased tension and uncertainty of their dual roles in academic and sales. The model introduces “policy perception” as a cross-layer moderating variable and incorporates “relationship capital” and “academic resources” into the key buffer resources. Further, set a critical condition — when the number of policy changes in the current year reaches or exceeds four times, the resource buffering effect will significantly decline. Based on this, this paper proposes a policy-responsive resource allocation approach and demonstrates the feasibility of digital tools’ intervention in pressure transmission, providing a reference for enterprises’ compliance operation and team resilience building.

Enhancing Submersible Safety: Predictive Modeling and Search Model for Lost Submersibles

Yihang Wang — 2025-09-17

The Titan submersible accident has raised global concerns regarding submersible safety. To mitigate such risks and enhance survival probabilities, this study develops a safety support system aimed at predicting submersible trajectories and optimizing search operations. A Submersible Position Prediction Model is established, incorporating seawater salinity, temperature, current, and seabed elevation data from the Ionian Sea. Force analysis based on computer simulations is used to generate minute-by-minute positional data, resulting in a probability distribution of its location. Model validation is conducted using Caribbean Sea data. Furthermore, a Two-Dimensional Kernel Density Estimation Search Model is proposed to minimize search time for a lost submersible. The method partitions the probability distribution into four regions, each searched by a robot moving outward from the center, significantly improving search efficiency. A function relating search success probability to time is derived based on robot speed and detection range. The results show that the lost submarine can be found within 1.3 hours. Finally, a multi-submersible position prediction model is introduced, which updates the dive path of one submersible based on real-time positions of others, enhancing coordination and emergency response capabilities.

Can Market Integration Reduce Corporate Misconduct? Evidence from the Pilot Implementation of the Fair Competition Review System

Guipeng Yuan — 2025-09-17

Maintaining fair competition is the core of guaranteeing the effective operation of the market economy. Using the Fair Competition Review System introduced in 2016 as a quasi-natural experiment, this study explores the impact of the system on corporate misconduct. The study finds that the Fair Competition Review System is negatively associated with corporate misconduct. This effect operates by increasing firms’ internal controls and mitigating the short-sightedness of the firms’ management. It is more pronounced at firms located in regions with poorer business environments and among firms with lower information transparency. Finally, the Fair Competition Review System effectively reduces business and bankruptcy risks. Overall, the study provides micro-level empirical evidence for the governance effects of the Fair Competition Review System and valuable references for corporate governance practices.

Cost Awareness of Medical Expenses of OPD Patients in a Selected Level I Hospital in San Juan, Batangas: Input for Policy Recommendation

Marienelle R. Maulion — 2025-09-17

The rising cost of healthcare, particularly in outpatient departments (OPDs), poses significant challenges for patients who often shoulder expenses out of pocket. This study explored the cost-consciousness of OPD patients in a Level I hospital in San Juan, Batangas, and examined their awareness of medical bills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the quantitative phase employed a descriptive cross-sectional design with 150 OPD patients, while the qualitative phase applied a phenomenological design through in-depth interviews with 22 participants. Findings revealed that most patients were unaware of the actual costs of their medical care, with awareness highest for medications but lowest for procedures and medical supplies. Lack of cost awareness was linked to delayed treatments, poor adherence, emotional distress, and financial strain. The study concludes that cost unawareness significantly affects patient outcomes and decision-making. It underscores the urgent need for clear price disclosure, improved billing communication, and patient education. Policy recommendations include institutionalizing transparent pricing, streamlining financial aid processes, integrating financial counseling in OPD services, and leveraging telemedicine to reduce indirect costs. A research simulacrum was also proposed to guide policy modeling and implementation. Ultimately, this study highlights the vital role of financial transparency in advancing healthcare equity and improving access to essential services.

On Self-deceit

Runtian Wang — 2025-09-17

There lies a paradox in self-deceit, where one acts as the deceiver, knowing the facts, but at the same time, as the deceived, not knowing it. Psychoanalysis avoids the paradox through the unconscious mechanisms; Existentialists, however, by declining the unconscious, avoid the paradox because, in order to cover the truth, one surely knows it. The article, by testifying that the deceiver’s self and the deceived’s self are one and the same, uncovers self-deceit in Rousseau’s sincere confession because he separates the agent-self and the confessor-self, while both are the same self. The article further explores self-deceit as a pretense based on Austin’s philosophy. The pretense cannot be seen, but can be detected through understanding its context. The article concludes that psychology should understand the paradox of self-deceiver as a way of self-integrity within a hermeneutic insight.
