Is It Right for Universities to Dangle Large Scholarships to Bag Top Students?

The recent years have seen Chinese universities, including prestigious ones, using various questionable tactics to attract top students after the college entrance examination. Large scholarships are one of them.

Positive Organizational Scholarship from a Psychotherapeutic Perspective

Many organizational development perspectives and discussions adopt a medical or diagnostic viewpoint of organizational dysfunction, focusing heavily on the numerous deficiencies, mistakes, and other negative aspects of struggling organizations. While any organization has a fair share of problems to address, such an overarching focus on everything that is wrong with an organization can create a harmful cycle of pessimism, depression, and low energy that can be difficult to overcome. Positive Organization Scholarship (POS) practitioners, much like the skilled therapist, help organizations shift from a negative, limiting mindset into a positive, open mindset in order to facilitate positive change. This paper explores how cognitive reappraisal strategies common in psychotherapy could be used by POS practitioners to facilitate change and growth in the organizations they serve.

The Major Educational Issues in China

Adopting the method of literature consultation and logical analysis, this thesis analyses the major educational issues in China. Research shows: the curriculum provision should consider not only the national culture but also the interest or need of students; the new electrical devices can be positive tools for studying if making good use of them; the requirements of graduation should cover all the fields of a student in campuses; society and enterprise should focus more on student's ability; the college should offer more scholarships for poor students.

Autophagic induction of amyotrophic lateral sclerosislinked Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 G93A mutant in NSC34 cells

Previous studies have confirmed that the beclin 1 complex plays a key role in the initial stage of autophagy and deregulated autophagy might involve in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanism underlying altered autophagy associated with the beclin 1 complex remains un- clear. In this study, we transfected the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 G93A mutant protein into the motor neuron-like cell line NSC34 cultured in vitro. Western blotting and co-immunopre- cipitation showed that the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 G93A mutant enhanced the turnover of autophagic marker microtubule-associated protein light chain 3II （LC3Ⅱ） and stimulated the conversion of EGFP-LC3Ⅰ to EGFP-LC3Ⅱ, but had little influence on the binding capacity of the autophagy modulators ATG14L, rubicon, UVRAG, and hVps34 to beclin 1 during auto- phagosome formation. These results suggest that the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-linked Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase I G93A mutant can upregulate autophagic activity in NSC34 cells, but that this does not markedly affect beclin 1 complex components.

Research on Scholarship Evaluation System based on Decision Tree Algorithm

Under the modern education system of China, the annual scholarship evaluation is a vital thing for many of the collegestudents. This paper adopts the classification algorithm of decision tree C4.5 based on the bettering of ID3 algorithm and constructa data set of the scholarship evaluation system through the analysis of the related attributes in scholarship evaluation information.And also having found some factors that plays a significant role in the growing up of the college students through analysis and re-search of moral education, intellectural education and culture&PE.

Experience China: 2019 China Cultural Center Students Award Tour Held in Beijing

“The event of 'Experience China'started 16 years ago, as a ‘Scholarship Award Tour’in 2003.It is held once a year, but it is different from year to year, and more and more wonderful. 201 9 is a special year, marking the 70^th anniversary of the founding of the People s Republic of China. I hope all students will take advantage of this opportunity to understand China with an objective, comprehensive and dialectical perspective, and bring back to your home countries what you have seen, heard, thought and felt.”——Duan Zhouwu, Director of Network of International Culturalink Entities cum Director of Center for Establishment & Management of Overseas Cultural Facilities, Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Media and Information Literacy in Inclusive Education: A Team Teaching Concept at the Technische Universitat Dortmund

There is a desideratum in the research about the interdependencies of inclusive education and media education. Digital media can facilitate individualized and cooperative learning. Additionally, digital media can be used to promote inclusion. However, which factors influence the acquisition of media and information literacy in inclusive education? Comparative international studies, e.g., the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS), show how social challenges, such as participation and handling heterogeneity at school, can be addressed through media. In numerous studies, it becomes apparent that German teachers do not sufficiently see the potential of digital media, especially for the improvement of learning opportunities for individuals with diverse learning requirements. German teachers are not well able to apply digital media appropriately in their lessons. Teachers need to be qualified and to design modern education with accessible media. In Germany, the ratio between available computers and pupils (1:4) is far better than the rate between teaching with and without computers. According to the teacher’s reports, only 9% of teachers are using digital media daily. Approximately 40% use digital media seldom or never. It seems that the cause is a skeptical attitude towards media among teachers, especially in humanities. That may result from missing didactical competences regarding digital media. The idea of Technical Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and extending that explanatory model for teachers’ competencies on the inclusive practices builds the theoretical background for the design of joint seminars by the Research Center Youth-Media-Education as part of the Faculty for Cultural Studies and the Research Cluster Technology for Inclusion and Participation at the University of Dortmund. Prospective teachers should become familiar with this way of collaboration. Already for four years now, a teaching team from these two departments designs collaborative lectures. Inclusive teaching and learning in different contexts are practiced in tutorials with practical approaches as well. In tandems, the students develop a learning situation at school or extracurricular institutions. Afterward, they present it. The presentation focuses on the concept, its teaching and learning conditions, and competence orientation as well as opportunities and limitations.

The Notion of Efficiency in China’s Civil Law Scholarship

The pursuit of economic efficiency is the major driver for the birth of contemporary Chinese civil law.Contemporary civil law scholarship has demonstrated a serious concern for efficiency from the very beginning.However,many examples suggest that the notion of economic efficiency is often diluted or replaced by factors like civil law doctrinal scholasticism,moral notions,inertial thinking of the planned economy or the will of the leader.It has not been systematically attended to or expressed in a detailed and precise way in the contemporary civil law scholarship in China,rendering some economic judgments uneconomical.In the 21 st century,it is necessary for the civil law studies to establish a clearer and more precise notion of efficiency,to conduct more direct and accurate evaluations on civil laws’incentives on people’s behaviors and their socio-economic effects,so as to reduce the cost of social interactions and promote deeper cooperation and winwin outcome among individuals.

On China’s Civil Law Codification and the Development of China’s Civil Law Scholarship

The development of the theoretical system of civil law scholarship and the codification of civil law are closely related and of promotional function to each other.The codification of civil law can promote the systematization of civil law scholarship,perfection of the value system,development and modernization of civil law studies,and the systematization of legal hermeneutics.The subjectivity of China’s civil law scholarship,i.e.,the notions of problem-orientation,nativeness,practice,the times and innovations,can be improved during China’s civil law codification.The codification of civil law can promote the development of a theoretical system of civil law scholarship with Chinese characteristics,including the development of diversified elements such as values,content,system,hermeneutics and methods of civil law.

Exploration and Practice of the Reform of Postgraduate Award System-Taking Wuhan University of Science and Technology as an Example

China began to implement the charging policy for postgraduate students in 2014.Various universities at all levels have formulated a scholarship and stipend system for postgraduate students,which is in line with the needs of schools in talent training along with the spirit of relevant documents of the Ministry of Education and the actual situation of the schools.This study investigates and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the postgraduate funding by Wuhan University of Science and Technology.This article then provides advice for the reform of the scholarship and stipend system from improving the precision funding system,to increasing funding,to expanding the scope of postgraduate funding,and standardizing the treatment of deferred postgraduate students in hope that it would provide a basis for the funding system and provide guarantee for postgraduate students to complete their studies successfully.

The Chinese Reception of Western Marxism:From Wary Onlookers to Confident Participants on the World Stage

This study presents an analytic overview of forty years of study of Western Marxism by Chinese scholars.Organised into four main sections,it begins with an emphasis on the wider institutional context of this Chinese research.Here,I deal with the beginnings of research on Western Marxism in China and outline the two main periods of this research,which turn on the important educational reforms of 2005.The next section focuses on the initial period of research on Western Marxism,from the early 1980s to the education reforms,which may be characterised in terms of the work of“wary onlookers”writing introductions and surveys of Western Marxist scholars.The following section covers the last two decades after the 2005 education reforms.This period is of most interest,so more attention is devoted to developments during this time.It has been a time of increasingly confident participants on the world stage,who focus on core issues,realistic demands,and problem-based research.The final section concerns assessments of the limitations of Western Marxism,which have been identified through the in-depth research of the second period.In conclusion,while Western Marxism may be seen as a legitimate development of Marxism in a capitalist context,it is a tributary from the mainstream.

Deconstructing Doctoral Students’ Socialization from an Institutional Logics Perspective: A Qualitative Study of the Socialization of Chinese Doctoral Students in Finland

While socialization has become a major lens of research in doctoral education,this paper advances the theoretical foundation of the socialization process in doctoral education by using the institutional logics theory.Specifically,it proposes an analytical framework for understanding the socialization of doctoral students,where it is seen as a process of reconciling different or even competing institutional logics that drive students’development in doctoral education.The framework has been applied in an empirical study of ten doctoral students in Finland who were funded by the China Scholarship Council(CSC).While proving the usefulness of the analytical framework,the study shows that CSC doctoral students mainly face the competing logics of profession and corporation during socialization.Influenced by a strong profession logic,the Chinese students have transformed themselves into novice professionals and knowledge producers.Corporation logic competed with profession logic in the management of doctoral students and has resulted in a lack of teaching experiences in doctoral training and a weak recognition of professional identity in the students’host universities.The influence of family logic,inherited from CSC doctoral students’cultural backgrounds,has been decoupled in the socialization process and has led to a strong sense of loss in handling the supervisory relationship between supervisors and students.Based on the findings of this study,the author provides several recommendations for host universities,supervisors,doctoral students,the CSC,and the Chinese Embassy in Finland to enable them to work together and help CSC doctoral students tackle the aforementioned challenges.

Global competition and diffusion of the "A" list

Focusing on the global diffusion of the "A" list consisting of predominantly USbased joum a Is, we argue that such diffusi on represents an important form of professionalization in the management of business schools. The diffusion can also be viewed as an intellectual movement in the age of global competition characterized by a flat world. How can we explain the recent diffusion of the WAW list? More important, how does such diffusion impact the future of business and management scholarship? Addressing these important but underexplored questions, I identify the multilevel factors that explain the diffusion, and predict its likely trajectory and its impact on future scholarship.

Eduard Erkes and German Scholarship on Chinese Religions in the First Half of the 20th Century

This paper focuses on Eduard Erkes(1891-1958)as one representative of the so-called"Leipzig School,"who made major contributions to the study of Chinese religions.His studies of the"shamanic substrates"revealed in the Songs of the South(Chuci楚辞),practice-derived insights into Daoist inner alchemy(neidan内丹),and his translation of the Heshanggong河上公commentary to the Daodejing道德经anticipate later developments in scholarship,but are at the same time closely related to contemporary scholarly concerns of the Leipzig School(such as an emphasis on the supposed autochthony of Chinese culture and on evolutionary models of cultural development)as well as to personal(mystical)and political(socialist)interests of Erkes himself.The paper also discusses Erkes’relationship with other German and German-language scholarship of the time,such as the works of Wilhelm Grube,Erwin Rousselle,Richard Wilhelm,Heinrich Hackmann,Alfred Forke,and J.J.M.de Groot.
