The Specific Impact of Environmental Regulations on the Comparative Advantage of Resource-Based Industries
With the increasing emphasis on global environmental issues and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, the application and impact of environmental regulation are becoming increasingly prominent. Especially for pollution-intensive products, the impact of environmental regulation on the import and export trade of different pollution-intensive products is subject to various factors. The impact of environmental regulation on different resource-based industries still needs a lot of research. Through the method of literature analysis, this paper integrates the literature on the impact of environmental regulation on resource-based industries and concludes that the overall impact of environmental regulation on resource-based industries is positive and significant. For the paper and pulp industry, both exogenous and endogenous environmental regulations have enhanced its comparative advantage. For the non-ferrous metal and non-metallic mineral industry, environmental regulation can promote its technological progress and gain comparative advantage.

A Study on Ambiguity of Chinese “De”-Construction Based on the Qualia Role
In modern Chinese, “De”(的)-Construction is widely used, and the “NP1+的+NP2” structure often leads to ambiguity. According to the theory of qualia structure, analyzing the qualia roles of nouns can explain the causes and semantics behind the ambiguity formation. The activation of implicit predicates is used to differentiate semantics. As some nouns can also function as verbs, a multifaceted structure, “NP1/VP+的+NP2,” is created. Moreover, for “de”(的)-construction where the qualia roles of nouns are the same, the interpretative power is evidently compromised. This phenomenon is related to cultural background, pragmatic communication, and other factors, causing the extension and expansion of semantic connotations in the “de”(的)-construction. Therefore, the generation of ambiguity is unrelated to the qualia roles of noun materials.

An Exploration of the Artistic Scene Design of Traditional Music
Traditional music records the development and changes of various local historical periods with the "symbols" of music, which is an important driving force to enhance cultural self-confidence and self-improvement in the new era, and also an important content to continuously satisfy people's spiritual needs. The cultivation of new art scene has become an important engine for the development of traditional music. Taking Poyang Fishing Song as an example, this paper, based on the scene theory and the basic connotation, artistic value and contemporary development characteristics of Poyang Fishing Song, puts forward the construction of a matching art scene design programme with scene design, performance form and choreography effect as the core elements, so as to provide theoretical support and ideas for the realization of the connotative development of Poyang Fishing Song.

The Problems and Solutions for Chinese Basketball Association
Under the background of the slow and lack of development of Chinese basketball, Chinese basketball fans are so desperate to get better performances in national games like the Olympics. Now, the Chinese National Basketball Team (National Team in the later content) is only ranking 4th in Asia and 28th in the world. Almost all players in the National Team are selected by the league called Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), which is the finest and most well-known basketball league in China, and also is the first choice for most professional Chinese basketball players. Although it is the finest basketball league in China, there are still various problems existing. These problems have a strong and negative effect on the National Team. So this paper mainly points out three problems now existing in CBA: (1) the influx of talented players is not enough, (2) the problems of referees and players, and (3) lack of humanistic concerns. Then, give out the solutions of making policies, setting up players’ associations, organizing more competitions, considering social problems, and helping more poor children with basketball dreams.

The Methods of Function and Space Design in Young People's Mental Health Center under the Concept of “Autonomy”
Based on developmental psychology, young patients (12-25 years old) should be encouraged to exercise self-determination and self-exploration through spatial design for the enhancement of intrinsic motivation, to realize self-awareness, and rebuild social relationships during long-term self-regulation, and to increase participation and effectiveness in psychotherapy. Considering the unique developmental stages of young people, the feasibility of person-centered care and peer support services in the therapeutic model is analyzed, proposing that spontaneous partnerships and respect for patients' unconscious behaviors are essential for achieving autonomy. Emphasizing that patients should be guided naturally rather than coercively through spatial design; the ambiguity of the space requires reasonable control; the functional area should have differential settings by the type of place that requires different sensory stimulation levels; the transition from private space to semi-private space to public space should also be well-organized through visual connection, waiting areas, and the chance to withdraw from the therapies.

Research on the Stimulating Points of IP Cross-domain Marketing to Consumers: A Case Study of the Genshin Impact
In recent years, to obtain greater benefits, game companies are keen to make their game IP linkage. However, in reality, many game companies have not achieved ideal results after cross-domain marketing. This paper, from the perspective of consumers, uses the questionnaire survey method and takes the Genshin Impact IP as an example to explore the stimulating points of IP cross-domain marketing to consumers. The purpose is to give some suggestions to the companies affiliated with Genshin Impact and other game companies when they carry out linkage activities in the future. The results show that consumers participate in the linkage because they are attracted by the linkage game itself, linkage prizes, and linkage roles. According to the collected questionnaire samples, this paper also found that although the Genshin Impact has cross-border linkage with brands in many fields, people's participation is not high. In addition, only a few types of linkage, such as catering linkage, can obtain high participation. In this regard, this paper gives relevant suggestions: game companies should reduce the number of linkages and reduce the frequency of linkage; both parties should seriously treat each linkage activity; game companies should seriously consider the linkage objects; linkage brands and prices should be close to the lives of consumers.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Mental Health: An Innovation Diffusion-Based Framework for Advancing Digital Literacy among Professionals
Article thumbnail
The heightened prominence of digital literacy, as emphasized in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), signifies a collective effort to address the pressing need for reducing the digital divide. Digital literacy involves adept utilization of information and communication technologies, encompassing both technical expertise and cognitive skills. This research focuses on identifying optimal conceptual approaches and measurement standards for digital literacy, concurrently developing an evidence-based tool to elucidate the essential digital literacy prerequisites for mental health professionals advocating mobile mental health applications. The study draws theoretical inspiration from the Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), guiding the formulation of a foundational framework for digital literacy prerequisites among mental health professionals and the strategic crafting of diffusion strategies. The methodological approach entails a meticulous literature review, with a specific emphasis on the Google Scholar database, to identify best practices for evaluating digital literacy among mental health professionals. Four frameworks were deliberately chosen for comprehensive analysis, unraveling associated methodologies and measurement standards. The insights derived from this analysis inform the development of an evaluation framework aligned with the five stages of the Innovation Diffusion Theory: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. The G20 Digital Literacy simplified model, among the selected frameworks, serves as the cornerstone for the developed evaluation framework. This model intricately delineates the digital literacy and competencies required for mental health professionals at various stages of endorsing mobile mental health applications. Importantly, it adopts a professional-centric model, deviating from conventional approaches, providing a unique perspective on the pivotal role professionals play in propagating and endorsing digital applications.

Nishida Kitaro and Japan’s Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
Article thumbnail
No one shaped modern Japanese philosophy as significantly as did Nishida Kitaro, a prominent scholar at Kyoto Imperial University and the author of An Inquiry into the Good. He pioneered the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy, which combined Western and Eastern thoughts, traditions, and religions to reach a new understanding of the world. Not usually seen as a political figure, Nishida penned a controversial essay in 1943, two years before his death, titled “The Principle of the New World Order.” The essay was intended for Prime Minister Tojo Hideki's use at the 1943 Greater East Asia Conference in Tokyo, where leaders from East and Southeast Asian countries under the rule of Japanese imperialism discussed future visions for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan's ostensible war cause. Nishida opposed the militarist government and its oppressive policies at home and abroad, but he hoped to influence its policy through his philosophical writing as Japan's defeat loomed larger than ever. The tense political atmosphere in wartime Japan and Nishida's vision of the world, which was characterized by the harmonious coexistence of the individual and the collective, turned “The Principle of the New World Order” into a text full of contradictions—the greatest among them being his uncritical use of Hakko Ichiu (Eight Corners of the World under One Roof), a politico-religious jargon to justify the supreme rule of the Japanese emperor. After WWII, Nishida was posthumously criticized for cooperating with the military government by writing that essay, but a close examination of the text, its historical context, and other works by Nishida reveal that the lone Japanese philosopher was trying to steer Japan's Pan-Asian policy from within, an attempt that was doomed to fail when the government was mobilizing intellectuals for its imperial goals. By focusing on the case of Nishida, this article uncovers the complex dynamic between the Japanese empire and Japanese intellectuals who tried to voice their views different than the government's.
