On Answering the Question Related to the Legal Regulation of Working Hours in the New Era:Western Experience and Chinese Approach

The popularity of flexible working hours around the world has slowed down the historical trend of reducing working hours.It even shows signs of regression.Whether and how to guide the cur-rent society with flexible working hours to return to the historical track of reducing working hours,improve the quality of working hours,and promote a smooth transition from the era of traditional standard work-ing hours to the era of flexible working hours has become a question related to the legal regulation of working hours in the new era.In this regard,although Western countries have proposed new regulatory concepts and carried out legislative practices with distinctive charac-teristics,the limitations of legal regulation capabilities have prevented them from proposing a package of institutional solutions.The advan-tage of China in the ability of legal regulation of working hours has been gradually formed in the legislation on working hours unnder the leadership of the CPC in the past century.It enables China to break through the limitations of the West and propose a Chinese approach to answer the question of the legal regulation of working hours in the new era from three aspects:limiting the extension of working hours,improving the quality of flexible working hours,and optimizing the funnctions of the multi-funnctional regulatory system for working hours.

The ＂Chinese Approach＂ Ushers in a New Model of Global Governance Civilization

Since the advent of ＂world history,＂ the world order has manifested itself theoretically, on the one hand, as international rights, and on the other, in actual practice, as power. This is exemplified in the Westphalian system. However, the Chinese approach （A New Model of Major Country Relations; A Community of Shared Future for Mankind, among others）, which has been acclaimed as a constructive scheme for the new world order, is premised on transcending the Westphalian system; it is founded on a new type of civilization. The objective basis for this new type of civilization is China＇s socialist trajectory and the revival of China＇s pacifist tradition--these constitute the essential provisions of the Chinese approach to Global Governance.

Patient-reported Outcomes (PROs): An Approach to Evaluate Treatment Efficacy of Chinese Medicine or Integrative Medicine

Chinese medicine (CM) has been an experience based practice over the past three thousand years. The safety and efficacy of CM has been practised through experience, rather than nowadays’ modern scientific measurements. In this way, the development of CM has not been keeping pace with the advance in science and technology and the progress in orthodox medicine. In order to meet the requirements of modern science and technology, an evidence based approach must be adopted. Reassurance is needed to convince people for safety and efficacy of CM and give confidence to the evidence based demands ——“Tradition is confirmed by Modern Science” (1) .

General Survey of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Researches on Tumor Metastasis

Metastasis and recurrence of tumors is the chief cause of death for such patients. Therefore, researches on the mechanism of its metastasis, prevention and treatment are the focal points in the field of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and Western medicine （WM） at present. WM practitioners＂ study on tumor metastasis involved its occurrence and development including every detail and process, and now it even has developed into the molecular biological field. py is used as the main means, but the efficacy is not n treatment surgical operation and radio- chemotheratoo optimistic. In recent years, TOM, as part of the comprehensive therapy, has been gradually gaining attention of oncologists. Aimed at solving the difficult problems in metastasis of tumor, many TOM practitioners on the basis of syndrome differentiation have raised theories about the cause of tumor metastasis. On the basis of these theories, some TOM recipes against tumor metastasis have been developed to serve as an effective supplement to surgical operation, radio- and chemotherapy. The present article summarizes research results in recent years about the cause of formation of tumor and its metastasis by TOM and WM, so as to offer some theoretical clues to the study of tumors metastasis.

Intercultural Trust in Global Contexts:Synthesizing a Western Nomological Approach with a Chinese Systems Approach

Intercultural trust in global contexts plays a central role in helping people from different cultures to communicate comfortably,which is essential for cooperation.Attempting to construct a framework that might foster international cooperation,and thus be helpful for coping with global emergencies,we relate a Western nomological approach to an Eastern systems approach to analyse intercultural trust in global contexts.Considering cultural impacts on intercultural trust and the nomological framework of cultural differences,we propose an intercultural trust model to interpret how cultural differences influence trust.A qualitative study of Chinese-Irish interactions was conducted to interpret this model.We organized 10 seminars on intercultural trust,and interviewed 16 people to further explore the respondents'deeper feelings and experiences about intercultural trust in global contexts.Through this study,we have identified factors impacting on intercultural trust,and found that intercultural trust can be developed and improved in various ways.To llustrate these ways,we have provided tactics and methods for building intercultural trust in global contexts.Implications are highlighted for organizations to avoid cultural clashes and relevant political or economic risks.

Thoughts on China’s Participation in Global Marine Governance under the Centennial Changes

As China embarks on its new journey toward its second centenary goal,profound changes are expected in the geopolitical order and capacity of China’s global marine governance participation.The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated an evolution unseen in more than a century.A significant power game is expected to continue to play out at sea,with global marine governance being put under pressure and security issues becoming more prominent.China’s global marine governance participation has been endowed with more moral responsibilities and expectations.In the new development stage of building a modern socialist country in all respects,the objectives,principles,and paths of China’s participation in global marine governance are expected to be further clarified.In its new"dual circulation strategy"development pattern,China puts more resources into marine governance.To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and build itself as a major maritime power,the"maritime community with a shared future"proposed by China is expected to enter a new stage.From conception to implementation,China’s global marine governance contribution will be more prominent.

Research on predicting prosodic parameters for Chinese synthesis by data mining approach

Prosodic control is an important part of speech synthesis system. Prosodic parameters choice right or wrong influences the quality of synthetic speech directly. At present, text to speech system has less effective describe to reflect data relationships in the corpus. A new research approach - data mining technology to discover those relationships by association rules modeling is presented. And a new algorithm for generating association rules of prosodic parameters including pitch parameters and duration parameters from corpus is developed. The output rules improve the correctness of syllable choice in text to speech system.

A forced alignment approach to detect Chinese repetitive stuttering

A forced alignment based algorithms to detect Chinese repetitive stuttering is studied. According to the features of repetitions in Chinese stuttered speech,improvement solutions are provided based on the previous research findings.First,a multi-span looping forced alignment decoding networks is designed to detect multi-syllable repetitions in Chinese stuttered speech.Second,branch penalty factor is added in the networks to adjust decoding trend using recursive search in order to reduce the error from the complexity of the decoding networks. Finally,we re-judge the detected stutters by calculating confidence to improve the reliability of the detection result.The experimental results show that compared to previous algorithm,the proposed algorithm can improve system performance significantly,about 18%average detection error rate relatively.

INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE WRITING AND PROCESS WRITING APPROACHES IN TEACHING EFL WRITING

This paper adopts a pedagogical approach to theteaching of English writing to EFL learners of interme-diate or advanced level in China.The teaching ofwriting has been a problem to Chinese EFL teachers fora long time.On the one hand,they want to make anattempt to adopt fashionable and effective Englishwriting approaches,like process writing.On the otherhand,they are frustrated by the traditional Chinesewriting method.Some of our language educators arealways struggling against the influence of our tradi-tional Chinese writing method.A negative attitudetowards our mother tongue writing approach has beenestablished or accepted by most of our EFL teachers,which result in the EFL learners’panic in their Eng-lish writing course because they are afraid of being ac-cused of writing a Chinese composition in Englishwords.Needless to say,this kind of teaching stylecannot be effective and is frustrating instead.The au-thor presents an integrated and practical solution tothis problem and discusses the applicability of the ap-proach.The author discusses how we can effectivelyintegrate the traditional Chinese writing method andthe popular process writing approach in teaching Eng-lish writing.

China’s Traditional Chinese Medicine-Style(TCM)Governance in Participation in the Middle Eastern Issues:Theories,Practices and Prospects

The concepts of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)are rooted in the profound traditional Chinese culture and philosophy.There is an old Chinese saying that‘outstanding doctors can be masterful enough to govern a country.’This means some concepts of TCM is compatible with the ones of governing political systems.At first,on the basis of the concepts of TCM treatment,this study puts forward a theoretical framework of TCM-based governance for China to participation in Middle Eastern issues.If we compare the Middle East to a human body with different systems and levels of organisations,its problems are its‘illnesses,’so to cure them and achieve the ultimate balance,as TCM focuses on,it is necessary to fundamentally improve the inner and outer political and economic environments of the Middle East,and its own‘immune system.’Secondly,the study will combine the concept of‘holistic view’with China’s participation in the governance of Middle Eastern issues before to prove the feasibility of the governance methods based on the TCM concepts.Furthermore,this study,to analyse the key factors of current conflicts in the region,‘takes pulses’to find out the root cause of those issues,and‘prescribe Chinese medicine’for different cases.It is our hope to promote the governance methods with Chinese wisdom.

The Logic of Common Prosperity in China

The notion of common prosperity in China is deeply rooted in its historical and cultural traditions and supported by a unique social system logic.As a social ideal,it reflects the enduring intellectual aspirations of the Chinese nation.Deep feelings for the family and country and universal kinship shape the Chinese spiritual worldview,emphasizing a strong sense of community and interconnectedness.As a fundamental principle,it ensures that the essence of the socialist system,defined by labor,is firmly implemented and practically realized in the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics.As a practical endeavor,it harmonizes with historical trends and proactive development,integrating the advanced nature of the political party with scientific policy strategies,thereby clarifying the roadmap for common prosperity.As a Chinese approach,it creates a genuine community amidst diversity and differentiation,fostering a scientific understanding of prosperity in the course of development and progress,and offering a national model for building new forms of human advancement during modernization.China's historical efforts in promoting common prosperity not only expand the contemporary understanding of"common"in a philosophical sense but also elevate the notion of prosperity"to new heights in a civilizational context.
