In order to explore the current situation of consumer perception satisfaction of forest health industry service supply in the aging market of the three northeastern provinces, in order to further help the forest health industry in the three northeastern provinces to expand and optimize the aging market. This paper uses the questionnaire survey method to collect the questionnaire among the elderly population in the three northeastern provinces and the expert group in the field of forest health. Among them, 587 valid questionnaires for the elderly population are recovered, and the effective rate of the questionnaire is 96.23 %. In view of the questionnaire index data, this paper first calculates the index weight of the 10 expert evaluation questionnaire data by AHP analytic hierarchy process, and then combines the evaluation weight of the index to deal with the index satisfaction of the elderly population, and calculates the FCE fuzzy comprehensive evaluation score of satisfaction. Next, through the comparative analysis of the index importance-satisfaction ranking, further analyzes the supply and demand development status of forest health industry service supply index in the aging market. The results show that the evaluation weights of the first-level indicators are as follows : medical care ( 0.4464 ) > infrastructure ( 0.4226 ) > leisure and entertainment ( 0.1310 ). The lowest satisfaction score of the target layer, 3 factor layers and 15 index layers was 74. 69, and the highest score was 79. 66, and each layer was in a good stage at this stage. At present, nine indicators, including basic accommodation services, public service facilities, accommodation, commercial shopping areas, folk custom activities, tourism vacations, forest health lectures and forest health and recuperation cultural centers, are higher than the evaluation of consumer satisfaction, which belongs to the category of ' advantage maintenance '. For its indicators, there is a certain degree of development lag and other issues, belongs to the ' continuous reform ' indicators. Finally, based on the research conclusion, this paper discusses the optimization of the service supply of the aging market of forest health industry in the three northeastern provinces and the effective improvement of the satisfaction of the elderly population with the consumption of the evaluation index, and puts forward policy implications.

John Keats’s Geographical Writing and Construction of British National Identity

British romantic poets generally illustrate distinctive geographical writing characteristics. Among them, John Keats is a representative in composing geographical space from a multi-dimensional perspective, either real or imaginary, thus illustrating the natural aesthetic characteristics of his poetry and the poet’s own humanistic thoughts and political concerns. In his poems, Keats not only wrote about the landscape of English natural geographical appearance, including forests, grasslands, etc., which highlighted his love for Britain and pride in folk customs, but also focused on the human landscape represented by castles and churches, which highlighted the central position of England within Great Britain and the anticipation of integrating Scotland under English control. Keats is not confined to a particular moment or a scene, but detached from reality and creating fantasy to incorporate elements of magical mythology in order to fictionalize the natural geographic environment including nature, river, mountains and human geography like castles, thus highlighting his Hellenized Britain and publicizing the civilized image of the Great Britain. On the other hand, he also highlighted the rationality and order of Britain through the mapping of the East, and provided a rational explanation for its Eastern colonization.

Class size affects preservice teachers’ physiological and psychological stress reactions: An experiment in a virtual reality classroom

Teachers frequently express stress associated with teaching in large classrooms. Despite the time-honored tradition in teacher stress research of treating class size as a job-related stressor, the underlying premise that class size directly impacts teachers’ stress reactions remains untested. In this randomized controlled experiment targeted at preservice teachers, we utilized a standardized virtual reality (VR) classroom to examine whether class size (number of student avatars) directly affected physiological (heart rate) or psychological (subjective rating) stress reactions among 65 preservice teachers. Results from linear mixed-effects modeling (LMM) showed that class size significantly predicted both their physiological and psychological stress reactions in the simulated environment: Average heart rate and subjective stress ratings were both significantly higher in the large class size condition. Further investigations into the causes of this association has been proposed. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the effects of classroom features on preservice teachers’ emotional experiences and well-being.

Space to Learn: The best way to schedule studying

When I was a student, I often spent the entire day before a test studying—sometimes even staying up all night. Cramming is a time-honored tradition among students—one that is certainly better than not studying at all. But if you’ll need to remember the material later, maybe in a subsequent course, then cramming is a very bad idea. Why? Because cramming is followed by rapid forgetting.

Translation Model and Dissemination of Contemporary Chinese Ethnic Literal Works Into the World: An Analysis on English Translation of The Last Quarter of the Moon by American Translator Bruce Humes

This study aims to investigate the English translation model and strategy of contemporary Chinese literary masterpiece The Last Quarter of the Moon (2005), taking Nord’s translation-oriented text analysis as a theoretical tool. The paper is composed of the translation commission, the role of ST analysis and hierarchy of translation problems, including the basic information about the writer, the original book, the English translation and the translator. Comparison of the ST with its English TT in terms of aspects of language, culture and communication will be discussed. Specifically, this paper explores the translation strategies that the translator has adopted at the linguistic level in translating Evenki proper nouns and idiomatic expressions, the dialogue of main characters, figures of speech, then explores the translation strategies of rendering Evenki folk customs, sacrifices, totemism and ceremonies from the aspect of ethnic culture. The study shows much importance is attached to the linguistic features and cultural connotations of the original work both at the linguistic and cultural level. The translation accurately and faithfully conveys the essence of the novel, successfully attracts the attention of western readers and promotes the spread of Evenki culture. The translation also makes a comprehensive analysis of the surface and deep meanings of the original text, effectively conveys the theme of the original work, and further promotes the “going out” of ethnic literature to the world.

The Journal Club 3.0: A qualitative, multisite study examining a new educational paradigm in the era of open educational resources.

The journal club is a ubiquitous and time-honored tradition within medical education. However, in recent years, open educational resources (OERs) have become increasingly influential in how physicians interact with the medical literature across multiple specialties. The authors sought to explore how emergency medicine (EM) resident physicians reconcile different perspectives across OERs into their educational experience at the journal club. From January 2018 to September 2019, the authors enrolled 25 EM residents from four teaching sites associated with the University of British Columbia, Canada, to participate in either a focus group (seven residents) or individual interviews (18 residents). The authors used a snowball sampling technique. Using a constructivist grounded theory analysis, two investigators independently reviewed transcripts, meeting regularly to discuss themes until sufficiency was achieved. The study data expand the theoretical understanding of the resident journal club experience. Residents used multiple sources including OERs to learn about new evidence in the specialty. The rise of OERs helped residents to focus on developing critical appraisal skills and social bonds during the journal club. The local journal club gained a new relevancy in acting as a quality control mechanism against the premature adoption of research findings discussed in OERs. To date, most educators assume that residents prepare for a journal club by reading the selected articles and applying knowledge from their previous education. Instead, our findings suggest a more dynamic experience that integrates OERs. OERs enhance the journal club experience by allowing junior residents to more easily participate in discussions and to broaden the discussion to multiple clinical settings. Understanding these processes could inform future educational strategies around the journal club.

Perspectividade política e produção de desinformação nas eleições brasileiras de 2018

Este artigo parte de uma pesquisa cibercartográfica amparada em uma aproximação entre as tradições pós-estruturalista e perspectivista, visando problematizar as informações utilizadas nas eleições presidenciais de 2018 que orientaram o comportamento dos eleitores brasileiros a partir da fragilização de fatos objetivos que passaram a serem substituídos por notícias distorcidas ou mesmo falaciosas, situadas no contexto da pós-verdade. Ao trazer alguns elementos acerca de como foram produzidas supostas verdades no campo da política institucional difundidas no ciberespaço, verificamos uma certa guerra de narrativas onde teorias conspiratórias e fake news são articuladas como estratégias de convencimento para que os eleitores difundam voluntariamente esses dados, muitas vezes camuflados de memes, vídeos, posts e etc., produzindo uma enorme confusão que reforça a própria comunicação falaciosa que busca corroborar a auto-verdade de quem recebe a informação.

The Construction of Folk Sports Featured Towns Based on Intelligent Building Technology Based on the Internet of Things.

With the emergence of the Internet of Things, technology and Internet thinking have entered traditional communities, and combined with traditional technologies, many new and better management methods and solutions have been born. Among them, the concept of intelligent buildings is also known to people. Based on big data technology, cloud computing technology, and Internet of Things technology, smart buildings provide smart and convenient devices and services for smart device users. The Internet of Things technology is entering our lives at an unimaginable speed. It has been applied in many fields. Smart home, smart transportation, smart medical, smart agriculture, and smart grid are widely used in the Internet of Things technology. The application of Internet of Things technology to the construction of folk sports characteristic towns is of great significance. The construction of folk sports characteristic towns and the protection of intangible cultural heritage have the same purpose and interoperability of elements as the development of traditional cities. From the perspective of protecting folk culture and intangible cultural heritage, it is effective to promote the development of small towns with folk custom characteristics. Based on the research on the construction of folk-custom sports towns, this paper proposes a series of data model analysis and analyzes the proportion of sports preferences in the survey of volunteers in the folk-custom sports towns. The final result of the research shows that the ball games sports personnel accounted for the largest proportion, with 156 people accounting for 48.15%. This shows that about half of the people like ball sports, which proves that ball sports should be the mainstay of folk sports towns, and other sports should be supplemented by other sports.

Research on Promoting Visual Communication of Local Folk Culture by Using Digital Technology

Through the visual analysis of local customs and cultures by using digital technology, the total index of digital artificial intelligence, the environmental support of artificial intelligence (AI), and the competitiveness of AI industry have developed well, while the creativity of AI knowledge has developed steadily. According to the survey of digital technology audience education, it can be seen that the respondents with high school to undergraduate education have a higher audience rate of digital technology, while those with other academic qualifications have a lower audience rate, so digital technology can be popularized through education. Through the investigation of audience jobs, it is known that most of the audience of digital technology are engaged in enterprise staff, but they are less exposed to digital technology in political party organs. It can be seen that the loading time of visual images after clustering processing will be reduced by about 200 compared with that without clustering processing, which greatly improves the efficiency of visual graphics loading. As well as the analysis of the development of visualization, we can see that from the sixteenth century to the present, the visualization efficiency has increased from about 50% to 98%, which greatly improves the efficiency. According to the survey of local folk customs, from 2013 to 2019, local residents’ awareness of local folk customs has been continuously improved, from 30% to about 48%, while the awareness of completely unclear folk customs has dropped from 10% to about 1%. Through the investigation of local folk culture, it can be seen that in the promotion of local folk culture, the governance system and measures are insufficient, and the governance effect cannot be effectively fed back.

Getting to the Root of US Healthcare Injustices through Morrison’s Root Workers

Although a number of scholars have tackled the figure of the Black folk-healer in Toni Morrison’s novels, the character deserves greater attention in the present moment for the insights she provides into two contemporary catastrophes: the coronavirus pandemic and the structural racism that precipitates rampant violence against brown-skinned people in the United States. Beginning with M’Dear, the elderly woman who is brought in to treat Cholly’s Aunt Jimmy in The Bluest Eye (1970), I survey descriptions of several root workers, hoodoo practitioners, and midwives in Morrison’s fiction, including Ajax’s mother in Sula (1973) and Milkman’s aunt Pilate in Song of Solomon (1977). Morrison’s portraits of these women and their communities capture the endurance of African folk customs, the undervalued knowledge of aged members of society, and a sense of Black women’s strength beyond that of the physical, laboring, or hypersexual body. The fictional experiences of Morrison’s healers also alert readers to the very real injustices that have historically impeded the successes of African Americans—and continue to hamper them, as has been exposed during the COVID-19 crisis and public outrages over police brutality. These injustices include inequities in lifelong earning potential, education, housing, and access to healthcare. Paying closer attention to the Nobel Laureate’s root-working women makes her novels more than simply “transformative” and “empowering” for individual readers; analyzing these figures allows one to unearth important critiques of medical bias and other forms of discrimination against marginalized members of society—disparities that must be dismantled in the push for social change.

Image data hiding with multi-scale autoencoder network

Image steganography is the process of hiding information which can be text, image, or video inside a cover image. The advantage of steganography over cryptography is that the intended secret message does not attract attention and is thus more suitable for secret communication in a highly-surveillant environment such as civil disobedience movements. Internet memes in social media and messaging apps have become a popular culture worldwide, so this folk custom is a good application scenario for image steganography. We try to explore and adopt the steganography techniques on the Internet memes in this work. We implement and improve the HiDDeN model by changing the Conv-BN-ReLU blocks convolution layer with a multiscale autoencoder network so that the neural network learns to embed message bits in higher-level feature space. Compared to methods that convolve feature filters on the row-pixel domain, our proposed MS-Hidden network learns to hide secrets in both low-level and high-level image features. As a result, the proposed model significantly reduces the bit error rate to empirically 0% and the required network parameters are much less than the HiDDeN model.

Dziad, dziady w gwarowym widzeniu świata (na materiale "Słownika gwar Lubelszczyzny")

This paper offers a discussion of the linguistic picture of dziad present in the folk worldview of the Lublin region, with special emphasis on social, physical, locative, axiological and customs-related aspects of everyday rural life. The meanings of the lexis analysed are grouped according to eight semantic domains, including ‘man and their role in the family and in the social structure of the village’, ‘farming and harvesting’, ‘plants’, ‘food’, ‘footwear’, ‘tools’, ‘weather phenomena’, and ‘folk customs’. The study is based on spoken texts of 2000 informers between 70–90 years of age, collected in 1986–2020, in 600 villages of the Lublin region.

Сравнительное изучение заметок Н. В. Гоголя о русском быте и «Сказаний русского народа» И. П. Сахарова

The article establishes and clarifies the sources of N.V. Gogol’s notes “Yegory in Spring,” “Nikola in Spring,” “Yuri in Autumn,” “Nikola in Winter.” G. P. Georgievsky was the first who drew attention to these sources, pointing out that Gogol’s notes are extracts from the “People’s Diary” of the doctor, ethnographer, archaeologist, paleographer and writer Ivan Petrovich Sakharov (1807–1863) in his book “Tales of the Russian People.” “People’s Diary” is combined by I. P. Sakharov with “Folk Holidays and Customs” in “Russian Folk Anniversary,” which is a part of his book “Tales of the Russian People.” The work emphasizes that, along with the complete coincidence of a number of texts of Gogol’s notes with the texts of the source, there are some discrepancies. As a result of a comparative study of the texts, it was established that Gogol’s texts are extracts not only from the “People’s Diary,” but also from “Folk Holidays and Customs,” combined with the “People’s Diary” in the “Russian Folk Anniversary” in the book by I. P. Sakharov “Tales of the Russian People.”
