In this paper, we review functional crystals in China, including research history, significant achievements, and important applications by highlighting the most recent progress in research. Challenges for the development of functional materials are discussed and possible directions for development are proposed by focusing on potential strengths of these materials.展开更多

Monitoring and protecting the quality of higher education is now the main topic of higher education reform and development. Quality is the lifeline of university development, improving the quality of teaching is the eternal theme of higher education, and undergraduate education is the main and basic higher education. Therefore, improving the quality of undergraduate teaching is essential to enhance the quality of teaching in Higher Education.展开更多

There have been calls globally in recent years for the recogmtion of different ways of knowing. This article examines the particular case of the social sciences in China, concentrating mostly on sociology with some commentary on anthropology. It examines three periods when ＂nationalizing＂（ zhong guo hua, 中国化） has been raised as an issue in the social sciences. The article suggests that ＂nationalization＂ should not be confused with ＂indigenization＂ （ben tu hua, 本土化）, which suggests an even more concrete localization. It concludes with a suggestion that this issue may be a distraction from more urgent questions of the social and political responsibilities of the social sciences.展开更多

Because this theory originates from the Western society, Chinese academics have disagreed about its applicability in China, which has essentially different conditions in democracy, rule of law, and civil society from the western society. It is argued in this paper that Chinese scholars should neither take its applicability for granted based on the strong solicitude for the reality of China, nor conclude that the governance theory is not applicable in China based on rigid structural analysis. Jessop＇s Strategic- Relational Approach presents an enlightenment of practical value that actors＇ choice of strategies and actions needs investigating based on an objective understanding of the structural background. Under the existing political-administrative system of fragmented authoritarianism, C^a civil society has already developed into ＂a dynamic force outside the state system,＂ entitled to certain participation in public affairs. Such novel understanding is of great significance in developing both the study and practice of governance in China.展开更多
