Integrating Traditional Craftsmanship in Modern Product Design

In today's rapidly advancing globalisation, the protection and inheritance of regional culture is particularly important. Art design, as an important form of cultural expression, is responsible for transmitting and reviving regional culture. Han embroidery in the Jingchu region is one of the intangible cultural heritages in China, which is a display of skills and a carrier of emotions and philosophies of Jingchu culture. With this in mind, this study explores the specific case of Jingchu Han embroidery and analyses how regional culture expresses and transmits emotions in art design. By analysing the historical background of Han embroidery, its technical characteristics, and its application in modern art design, this paper reveals how regional cultural elements can achieve emotional penetration and stylistic influence in art design. The study also focuses on how the emotional aspects of Jingchu Han embroidery can be borrowed and innovated in modern design practice to enhance artworks' cultural depth and emotional resonance. Jing Chu is one of the important birthplaces of China's history and culture, with a rich cultural heritage and unique regional characteristics. Han embroidery is an important part of Jingchu culture. It is not only a kind of traditional handicraft but also a medium for the people in the Jingchu area to express their emotions and transmit their culture. In modern art design, elements of Han embroidery are widely used, showing its unique artistic charm and cultural value. However, academic and practical circles are still exploring how to express better and convey regional culture's emotions in art design.

Research on the Scope of Obligations of China's Short Video Platforms in the Era of Digital Copyright

In order to balance the interests of right holders, network service providers and users, China first stipulated the "notice-takedown" rule in the Regulations on the Protection of the Right of Information Network Dissemination in 2006. Since the Internet industry is in the early stage of development, the copyright environment is relatively clear, and network service providers do not have to bear high obligations, so the allocation of copyright protection obligations in the rules is reasonable at that time. However, with the iterative development of digital technology and the Internet, various short video platforms have also risen rapidly in domestic and foreign markets. Therefore, it is necessary to re-determine the scope of obligations of short video platforms, summarize the key points of controversy between the theoretical and practical circles on the scope of obligations of short video platforms, point out the problems existing in the scope of obligations of short video platforms, and discuss the role of short video platforms in the obligation of active review, notification and review, and post-event protection obligations. Conduct an in-depth analysis of the extent of the obligations to be undertaken, and redefine the scope of obligations of the short video platform on this basis, with a view to balancing the interests of all parties and promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the short video industry.

The Influence of Management Intonation on the Digital Transformation of Enterprises

In recent years, both domestic and foreign theoretical and practical circles have paid more and more attention to the role of non-financial information. As a supplement to financial information, non-financial information has had a broad impact on enterprises and society. This paper uses the text information from the 2009-2022 China A-share listed companies' performance conference to examine the influence of management tone on the digital transformation of enterprises. The study found that a more positive management tone is helpful to improve the level of enterprise digital transformation, indicating that there is a positive correlation between management tone and enterprise digital transformation. In addition, the more positive the management tone of the enterprise, the better the performance of the enterprise. The positive management tone is positively and significantly related to the performance of the enterprise. At the same time, the more colorful the corporate performance, the higher the degree of corporate digital transformation, indicating that there is a positive correlation between corporate performance and corporate digital transformation, which also demonstrates the relationship between management tone and corporate digital transformation again. In addition, this paper also puts forward some policy suggestions on how to promote the digital transformation of enterprises, which provides useful theoretical guidance and practical reference for how to promote the digital transformation of enterprises.

Enterprise green entrepreneurship orientation: research review and outlook

With the rapid development of economy, excessive resource consumption, environmental pollution, ecological civilization construction has become a global common theme, green development concept become the topic of attaches great importance to today's society, enterprises also realized that the enterprise development not at the expense of the environment, from the traditional economy to green economy is imperative. The academic and practical circles began to pay attention to the potential of green entrepreneurship in environmental protection, and green entrepreneurship, as the premise of green entrepreneurship, is the active strategic tendency of enterprises to deal with environmental problems, emphasizing the identification and grasp of eco-friendly opportunities, which reflects the active attitude of enterprises towards environmental issues. Although existing research has made some progress, but few systematic summary to clarify the development of green entrepreneurial orientation, based on this, this study from the connotation, dimension, driving factors and influencing factors combed the green entrepreneurship oriented research progress, and put forward the future outlook, in order to provide support for subsequent green entrepreneurship research.

On the Copyright Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Products

With the gradual maturity of artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence products continue to emerge in the market, which poses new challenges to the current copyright law system. In particular, whether artificial intelligence products are copyrightable is a hot and difficult issue in the current theoretical and practical circles. Based on this, there are two mainstream viewpoints in the current theoretical circle, that is, the viewpoint that supports copyright protection for artificial intelligence products from the perspective of "reader-centered", and the viewpoint that opposes copyright protection for artificial intelligence products from the perspective of author-centered". However, the question of whether artificial intelligence products can be protected by copyright involves verifying the reasonableness and forward-looking nature of the "open" regulation of copyright objects in China on one hand. On the other hand, it is also relates to determining the future legislative direction of high-level artificial intelligence. Therefore, by comparing the similarities and differences in originality between the copyright law system and the copyright law system, the conclusion is drawn that artificial intelligence products should be protected by copyright. The evaluation criteria of subject-object separation established by "reader-centered doctrine" should be adopted.

A Review and Prospect of Corporate Text Information Tone Management

With the development of society and technological progress, on the one hand, the academic and practical circles are paying more attention to the text information such as the non-financial report of enterprises. On the other hand, the progress of computer technology has made it possible to obtain and quantify text information. Tone is one of the important characteristics of text information, which refers to the positive or negative emotional tendencies while disclosing text information. Enterprises manipulate text messages for profit through tone management, which has certain economic consequences. This paper systematically reviews the acquisition and measurement methods of text information tone, and reviews the existing literature on the influence factors and economic consequences of tone management, so as to provide direction and reference for future research on text information and tone management.

Dilemma and Solution: On the Prosecution Subject of Civil Public Interest Litigation for Personal Information Protection

Combined with the judicial practice of personal information protection civil public interest litigation and the provisions of Article 70 of the Personal Information Protection Law, there is a great controversy between the theoretical and practical circles on the subject of such litigation. Although the existing provisions define the subject of prosecution as three categories: the people’s procuratorate, the consumer organization stipulated by law and the organization determined by the national network and information department, the problems of unclear scope of the subject, unclear scope of functions and unclear order of prosecution have not been solved. In order to improve the effectiveness of the protection of personal information rights and interests, we should clarify the scope of the functions of each prosecution subject, straighten out the order of prosecution, confirm the status of the procuratorial organ as a supplementary prosecution subject, expand the scope of “consumer organizations stipulated by law,” and clarify the conditions of “organizations determined by the national network information department.”

Contemporary Research on Agency in Education: A Systematization of Key Concepts and Developments

The task of developing individual "agency" (autonomy, proactivity, initiative, etc.), in education is widely discussed in scientific and practical circles. To systematize multi-disciplinary research elaborations in the field of "agency" as an umbrella concept, an analysis was carried out using keywords in the main scientific database Scopus. The analysis includes both publications that directly use the concept, and works using other close terms (resistance, autonomy, initiative, etc.). In addition, a sample of scientific publications of researchers, most authoritative in the field of practical educational policy was separately considered. The systematization of the key concepts and constructs was based on four main criteria: 1) the distinction between “agentic” action and intention/perspective, 2) the scale of the action, 3) the strategic/non-strategic nature of the intention/perspective, 4) the universal/local applicability of the concept or construct. The analysis showed a dominating focus on the "agentic perspective" in the discovered works, as well as a focus on micro-level and local manifestations and effects of “agentic” behavior or plans. From the point of view of empirical indicators of "agency" and related concepts, necessity for operationalization of the action-based and "strategic" manifestations of agency are revealed, which raises the question of the fundamental adequacy of the current approaches to measuring a human being dominating in contemporary mainstream of social sciences.

Research on Machine Learning Copyright

A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation led by artificial intelligence is on the rise. Driven by new theories and technologies, artificial intelligence presents new features such as deep learning, cross-border integration, human-machine collaboration, swarm intelligence openness, and autonomous control, and is having a significant and far-reaching impact on economic development, social progress, and global governance. Artificial intelligence technology has made a leap forward, and the ensuing legal issues have aroused discussions in the academic and practical circles, mainly focusing on the copyright law of artificial intelligence products, including the legal attribute of the generated results and its protection path, as well as exploring the new path of machine learning infringement risk and its compliance governance.

Virtual assets as a tool for legalization of property obtained through criminal means: a comparative legal aspect

The article deals with separate issues of legal evaluation and ways to counter dangerous practices of using virtual currencies in the course of legalizing property obtained through criminal means. The research analysis is based on the principle of interdisciplinary research with an active appeal to international and separately foreign experience of combating the legalization of criminal income through the use of transactions with cryptocurrencies.
 The position is argued, referring to specific examples of large-scale “financial-virtual” abuses, that Ukraine also needs to develop its own clear action plan regarding the legal regulation of the circulation of virtual assets, in particular by implementing effective national mechanisms to prevent (or at least reduce) money laundering practices of money obtained by criminal methods, taking into account the immediate threats to the financial system of Ukraine from the actions of a country that carries out armed aggression against our state.
 It was stated that although legal scholars traditionally have different approaches to the interpretation of the phenomenon of legalization of criminal income, there is still no complete understanding and definition of it, since money laundering can be considered as a multi-level phenomenon (as a crime, action, process, technology, stage, method and procedure, type of business activity, etc.), in scientific and practical circles, a common, established approach is to distinguish three main stages in the laundering of criminal proceeds: location, concealment and integration. It is shown that these stages cannot be equally applied to legalization schemes implemented using fiat or virtual currencies.
 In the final part of the article, the authors emphasized that the improvement of the domestic model of combating practices of legalization of money obtained by criminal methods should be implemented primarily by improving the regulatory framework and the system of organizational and legal measures to combat such practices by national regulators and individual departments of law enforcement agencies; at the same time, the criminal law component in the process of introducing proposed changes should have a conditionally secondary, auxiliary value.

Invalidity of Contracts in Violation of Mandatory Provisions of Public Law: Judicial Practice in China

Researchers have always favored how mandatory provisions of public law affect the validity of contracts. After the implementation of China's Civil Law, how to recognize the invalidity of contracts that violate the mandatory provisions of public law has also been hotly debated by the theoretical and practical circles. From the perspective of the Civil Law, which fully respects the concept of private law autonomy, and from the perspective of assuming the validity of a contract as a prerequisite for the application of the law in practice, a contract that violates the mandatory provisions of public law shall, in principle, be presumed to be valid. In determining whether a contract that violates the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations is null and void, it is necessary to carefully analyze whether the legislative purpose of the mandatory provisions will lead to the nullity of the contract, and at the same time, pay attention to the distinction between the mandatory provisions that result in the nullity of the contract and those that result in the contract not coming into effect, being of pending validity, or being voidable. Contracts that violate the mandatory provisions of local laws and regulations or administrative rules may be invalid because they violate public order and morals, but they are not invalid because they are "against the law".

Digitalization Level and Green-Oriented Transition Development of Highly Energy-Intensive Enterprises Based on Carbon Reduction Perspective

Against the dual background of the vigorous shape of digital economy and the severe pressure for carbon reduction, exploring the mechanism of the relationship between digitalization level and carbon reduction of highly energy-intensive enterprises is one of the current hot topics in theoretical and practical circles. This paper selects panel data of listed companies with high energy consumption from 2007 to 2019 and adopts a threshold-regression method to empirically test the impact of digitalization level on corporate carbon emission reduction It turns out that the digitalization level of enterprises has both an “inverted U” effect and a heterogeneous effect on carbon emissions. Enterprise technological innovation has both a threshold action and a regulating action on the influence of digitalization level on carbon emissions. It can play a role in accelerating the digitalization level to the inhibition of the increase in carbon emissions in advance and has a reinforcing effect in accelerating the reduction of enterprise carbon emissions.

Government Information Disclosure and the Expansion of Public Reason

In the process of deepening government reform and transforming government functions, the disclosure of government information has increasingly gained widespread attention in both academic and practical circles. Government information disclosure is based on the evolution of rational choice model in organizational decision-making, the introduction of information asymmetry assumption in game theory, and the impact of information asymmetry on the effectiveness of policy decision-making, etc., focusing on the alleviation of information asymmetry. This paper finds that government information disclosure is mainly aimed at expanding public rationality by enriching the amount of information in the government decision-making process, increasing the possibility of monitoring government decision-making behavior, and weakening the influence of subjective factors of decision-makers.

Definition of etc. Behavior in the Crime of Assisting Information Network Criminal Activities

Various kinds of cybercrime have emerged after entering the Internet era. In the Criminal Law Amendment (IX), the crime of assisting information network criminal activities has been added. However, there is an inconsistent understanding of the crime of assisting information network criminal activities among all parties in the practical circles. It is found that the judicial application of the crime of assisting information network criminal activities is more confusing by combing the relevant adjudication documents. For the purpose of eliminating this phenomenon, the etc. assistance in the crime of assisting information network criminal activities can be defined through legal norms analysis or case studies. This paper clarifies the boundary between crime and non-crime and between this crime and the other crime based on the following criteria. The objective assisting behavior needs to have the legal benefit infringement. The degree of scienter is relatively specific and determined. Meanwhile, the circumstances are severe. Besides, in order to clarify the scope of etc., this paper analyzes the legal norms of the act of using the account number in online games to transfer money, which provides a more significant reference value for judicial application.

Analysis of the Synergistic Effect of Rural Sustainable Development and Rural Revitalization Policy in Guangdong Province

Guangdong province, as the center of China's economy and culture, has always had a unique position in the rural development. In recent years, with the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, how to implement this policy in Guangdong and ensure that it is combined with sustainable development has become the focus of the academic and practical circles. This study aims to deeply explore the current situation of sustainable development in rural areas in Guangdong Province and the practice and synergies of rural revitalization policies. Through a literature review and empirical analysis, we systematically reviewed the historical evolution, current situation and challenges and problems encountered in Guangdong in practice. It is found that in the process of promoting rural revitalization and sustainable development, Guangdong province has successfully combined the two, and achieved significant economic, social and cultural benefits. But at the same time, it also faces some challenges, such as ecological and environmental protection and farmers' income gap. The conclusion points out that Guangdong's exploration provides valuable experience for other regions, but also emphasizes important issues to be addressed in future research and policy making. The innovation of this study lies in the first in-depth discussion of the synergistic effect of rural revitalization and sustainable development in Guangdong, which provides a new perspective and thinking for the research in related fields.

Determinants of Big Data Analytics (BDA) Adoption among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

Businesses must be innovative in the current "knowledge-based economy" if they intend to create and maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. The adoption of big data analytics (BDA) is thus revolutionary for precise decision-making and top performance in the present industrial environment. BDA application has attracted interest particularly due to the prospects and benefits that may be realized from its utilization in both academic and practical circles. Nevertheless, its adoption in small and medium-sized (SME) businesses is unknown thus far, prompting this study. To determine the determinants influencing SME preparedness to adopt BDA, the current study used the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework. The results supported the positive effects of BDA adoption on organizational marketing and financial performance in SMEs. Hence, understanding the factors influencing BDA acceptance enables managers to undertake the right initiatives, which are essential for its successful implementation. The outcomes also render it possible for BDA service providers to draw in and spread its prevalence among SME businesses.

The sources and techniques for collecting data in this study are primary data by distributing questionnaires to respondents and secondary data by collecting documentation and literature studies relevant to the research. Results/findings: Seeing from the results of the t test, the health variable partially affects the work effectiveness variable, the spatial variable partially affects the work effectiveness variable, and also the work discipline variable partially affects work effectiveness, along with the results of the F test, the health, spatial and work discipline variables have a positive effect together on employee work effectiveness. Limitations: This study has a scope that only aims to examine the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) only and is not comprehensive for all populations in the agency. Contribution: The results of this study are expected to be a benchmark for learning, especially in the field of human resources and also as an additional understanding for further research. This research is also expected to make a significant contribution in the form of articles, reports and presentations, become visibility to agencies in academic and practical circles on the same topic, become a consideration or evaluation material for the leadership of the Education Office in improving health, spatial and work discipline and employee work effectiveness.

Does water risk increase corporate debt financing capacity? Evidence from listed companies in high-water sensitive industries in China

Water-related risks are the focus of existing social concerns. Although academic and practical circles are aware of the existence of water risk and its potential harm, its economic consequences have not been quantitatively discussed from the perspective of enterprises. We empirically test the impact of water risk on debt financing ability using A-share listed companies in China's highly water-sensitive industries as samples. Water risk is found to significantly reduce the scale and increase the cost of debt financing, particularly for nonstate-owned companies. Institutional investor research can reduce the impact of water risk on the scale and cost of debt financing. On the one hand, we expand the relevant research on the debt financing ability of enterprises. On the other hand, we also explore the influence of water risk on enterprise management. Our conclusions provide an important reference for water risk and environmental management in enterprises.

Corporate ESG Performance and Financing Constraints: Empirical Evidence from Chinese Listed Companies

Abstract In recent years, corporate ESG performance has received extensive attention from academic and practical circles around the world. This paper examines the impact of corporate ESG performance on financing constraints based on data from 2012-2019 Chinese A-share listed companies. The findings show that corporate ESG performance can mitigate corporate financing constraints. The results remain robust after using the new Environmental Protection Law, a quasi-natural experiment, with the difference-in-difference model to mitigate endogeneity. The mechanism test shows that ESG performance can mitigate corporate financing constraints by attracting more analyst attention to mitigate information asymmetry and obtaining more commercial credit. Heterogeneity analysis shows that corporate ESG performance has a more pronounced effect on alleviating financing constraints for non-state and high-tech firms. Keywords: ESG, Financing constraints, Analyst attention, Commercial credit.

Legal regulation of clinical application of artificial intelligence

With the wide application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in clinical practice, more and more legal problems need to be solved. At present, although the legal status of AI is still controversial in academic and practical circles, its infringement risk in clinical diagnosis and surgery cannot be avoided. On the basis of the distinction between strong and weak AI liability subjects, those who meet the requirements of infringement, damage consequence, causal relationship, subjective fault, etc., can constitute tort liability, but the existence of exemption causes can also exempt liability. In addition to the ex post accountability of tort liability, it is also necessary to establish a complete administrative legal regulation system. At present, China needs to explore and establish the classification registration system, compulsory insurance system and reserve system of AI as soon as possible, so as to strengthen the legal regulation of the whole process of AI clinical application before, during and after the event.
