Experimental teaching is an efficient way of education, through practical operation and experimental activities to help students deeply understand theoretical knowledge, cultivate practical ability and solve practical problems. As an important engineering practice course, "Electrical and Electronic practice" has a special status and function in application-oriented undergraduate colleges. In the face of the rapid development of science and technology, the way of education must be innovated constantly. In this paper, a combination of Online and offline teaching reform is carried out for the Course "Electrical and Electronic Practice" offered by application-oriented undergraduate colleges. SPOC (Small Private Online Course) is established on the basis of MOOC, which combines online and offline teaching to promote the all-round development of students. It cultivates their practical ability and competitiveness, and lays a solid foundation for their future career and academic path.

Objective To understand the status quo of problem behavior of children in Henan Province, and to explore the applicability of the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) norm test in 3-6 years old children. Methods A total of 775 children aged 3-6 years old in Henan Province were selected to measure their problem behavior by using PSQ. The difference and consistency of the detection rate of Chinese and American norms were analyzed, and the difference between the average score of problem behavior of children in Henan Province and the average score of each factor of the two norms was studied. Results (1) The impulsive-hyperactivity index of boys was significantly higher than that of girls; Children's learning problems show a significant age difference, and the older the children, the higher the score of learning problems; Non-only children show more impulsive-hyperactivity, hyperactivity problems than only children. (2) There are significant differences between the Chinese norm and the American norm in the detection rates of learning problems, impulsive-hyperactivity, anxiety and hyperactivity index. (3) The PSQ scores of children in Henan Province were significantly different from most factors of Chinese and American norm PSQ. Conclusion There are differences in the problem behavior of young children in Henan Province in terms of gender, age, and whether they are only children. The consistency of Chinese and American PSQ norms is poor, and they are no longer applicable to young children in contemporary Henan Province.

The study examines the relationship between EPS and the gearing ratios and return on equity (ROE) ratio of 9 public listed firms on the Malaysian Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2022 financial years. The firms are selected at random. From this study it was established that there is a negative relation between EPS and gearing and a positive relation between EPS and ROE. Companies that want to attract more investors need to keep their gearing ratio low and increase the return on equity ratio high. To obtain the benefits of gearing or external funding, there need to be a balance between equity and debts. There is no one optimal balance between debt and equity. This balance is difference for each company and the sector they operate in. It is important for managers of companies to find the optimal balance between debt and equity, unique to their company.

The prospects of digital infrastructure in promoting rural economic growth and development are by and large immense. The paper found that rural development is considerably important for economic development and for achievement of sustainable livelihoods that increases people’s ability to achieve good health and wellbeing that enable the achievement of sustainable development. The paper found that digital imbalance and digital illiteracy in the rural areas hinder implementation of digital infrastructure to lead to rural economic growth. Digital infrastructure is the source of economic opportunities that enables local people in the rural areas to be more creative in achieving development success. It enables them to have a unique sense of place and fashioning of vibrant economic and financial opportunities that ensure the achievement of sustainable rural economic development. However, the paper found that the application of digital infrastructure to South Africa’s rural areas in the bid to promote rural economic growth has been hindered by factors like the digital divide, financial constraints, digital illiteracy and the failure to own a smart phone. These factors hinder digital infrastructure from leading to sustainable rural economic development and growth. The paper used secondary data gathered from existing literature. The use of qualitative research methodology and document and content analysis techniques became vital in the process of collecting and analyzing collected data.

The aim of this study was to analyze the perceived self and collective efficacy, individual and social norms and feelings related to environmental health concern among a sample of Pakistanis who are (or are not) engage in pro- environment behaviors in their daily lives. An ad hoc questionnaire with scales on pro-environmental behavior, self and collective efficacy, individual and social norms, and environmental health concerns was administered to adults in Lahore, Pakistan, and 833 respondents (62% males and 38% females) responded. Analysis of our research data shows that among those who engaged in daily pro-environmental behaviors, perceptions of individual and social norms and individual and collective efficacy were positively associated with concern for the environment and health. This study offers some interesting ideas that could be useful in developing federal, regional, local and community policies to promote daily pro-environmental behaviors. For example, in addition to advocating for environmental health and reducing one’s ecological footprint, social communication could explain that caring about environmental health (and thus adopting daily pro-environmental behaviors) is a way to manage one’s mental health. In this way, circular behavior is encouraged, which not only benefits the environment and the community, but also brings personal benefits.

This study aims to examine the impact of open innovation and disruptive innovation on the financial performance of SMEs in the tourism sector in Tanjungpinang City, Indonesia. A quantitative research method was employed, utilizing a sample of 273 SMEs in the tourism sector. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using regression and ANOVA techniques to understand the relationships between innovation, digitalization, and financial performance. The analysis revealed that both open and disruptive innovation significantly influence the financial performance of SMEs. The study found that innovation and digitalization explain approximately 79.6% of the financial performance variance in the tourism sector. The findings suggest that SMEs that adopt innovative practices and digitalization are more likely to achieve better financial outcomes, such as increased profitability and market share. Open and disruptive innovations are critical drivers of financial success for SMEs in the tourism sector. SMEs should focus on leveraging internal and external knowledge and adapting to technological changes to enhance their competitive advantage. Policymakers should create supportive environments that foster innovation and digitalization among SMEs. This could include providing access to technological resources, training programs, and incentives for innovative practices.
