This study examines the economic feasibility of the environment-friendly farmland use policy to improve water quality. Conventional highland farming, polluting the Han River basin in South Korea, can be converted into environment-friendly farming through land acquisition or application of pesticide-free or organic farming practices. We estimate the welfare measures of improvement in water quality and the costs of policy implementation for economic analysis. To estimate the economic benefit of improvement in water quality experienced by the residents residing in mid-and-downstream areas of the Han River, the choice experiment was employed with a pivot-style experimental design approach. In the empirical analysis, we converted the household perception for water quality grades into scientific water quality measures using Water Quality Standard to estimate the value of changes in water quality. To analyze the costs required to convert conventional highland farmlands into environment-friendly farmlands, we estimated the relevant cost of land acquisition and the subsidy necessary for farm income loss for organic agricultural practice. We find that the agri-environmental policy is economically viable, which suggests that converting conventional highland farming into environment-friendly farming would make the improvement in water quality visible.
With the necessity of the development of the national economy and society and the connotation of higher education to create a golden course, the translation talents of colleges and universities need to be cultivated from many aspects in this process. Schools need high-quality cultural construction when teaching, and also need conduct teaching research exploration and teacher teaching skills training and teaching evaluation, so that students can gain something as they learn. Especially under the background of “golden class”, translation talents in local colleges and universities need to develop specific educational content according to local culture. In this process, it is necessary to build a talent training model in colleges and universities. It is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of form and content, and to develop research in-depth, teachers should carry out effective professional teaching enlightenment guidance in the teaching process, effectively guarantee students’ career planning, and guide talent training.
As a product of the integration of AI technology and media, the debate surrounding the potential replacement of human anchors by AI anchors has persisted since their inception. This paper conducts a systematic literature review of research on AI anchors in China from 2000 to 2023, grounded in theories of personalization within the field of communication studies. The analysis aims to compare the differences in personalized representation between AI anchors and human anchors, summarizing the advancements, challenges, and future directions of AI anchor communication based on personality. This contribution seeks to enhance the existing knowledge base surrounding AI anchor research.
E-cigarettes pose a significant public health concern, particularly for youth and young adults. Policymaking in this area is complicated by changing consumption patterns, diverse user demographics, and dynamic online and offline communities. This study uses social network analytics to examine the social dynamics and communication patterns related to e-cigarette use. We analyzed data from various social media platforms, forums, and online communities, which included both advocacy for e-cigarettes as a safer smoking alternative and opposition due to health risks. Our findings inform targeted healthcare policy interventions, such as educational campaigns tailored to specific network clusters, regulations based on user interaction and influence patterns, and collaborations with key influencers to spread accurate health information.
Most researchers have recognized the importance of tourism for economic growth and have concluded that the growth of tourism can also affect the economic and socio-cultural development of society. Our study proves that this relationship can exist, as there is a very strong relationship between tourism and economic development, especially in GDP, which challenges the concept of tourism as an engine of economic development for developing countries such as Kosovo. Our results show that the relationship between GDP growth and tourism development has a bilateral and positive long-term causality. But the low level of tourism development in Kosovo during the years of the study (2010–2022), analyzed according to the Robuts model, shows that in our country during these 12 years the increase in GDP has influenced the development of tourism and not vice versa.
3D printing technology is an emerging technology in recent years, which can achieve rapid display of objects through the feeding method. It has been widely used in various industrial sectors. Higher vocational and technical colleges are one of the important ways to cultivate higher technical personnel from various industries. They must keep up with the pace of educational reform and introduce 3D printing technology into corresponding classrooms. Under the guidance of the course "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design", this article utilizes 3D printing technology to apply common PRO/E to products, achieving various motion mechanisms, making the originally monotonous classroom teaching lively and allowing students to immediately showcase their creativity.
