AbstractThis research scrutinizes the trends and dynamics of Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in China, utilizing a dataset of 91 papers from the CNKI database spanning 2011 to 2020. The study uses CiteSpace software to visualise and analyse the literature across multiple dimensions, including article count, authorship, institutional affiliations, and keyword co-occurrence. Findings indicate a lack of robust collaboration among authors and institutions in IPP and ICH, with a scarcity of active cooperative groups. Critical research hotspots identified encompass intangible cultural heritage, intellectual property protection, inheritors, legal protection, copyright, intellectual property law, and geographical indications, with the legal safeguarding of ICH's intellectual property, digital conservation, traditional cultural expressions, and original authentication emerging as the leading research frontiers. This investigation provides a holistic view of China's IPP and ICH landscape, offering essential scientific insights for ongoing scholarly discourse. This study mainly benefits policymakers and stakeholders in the cultural heritage sector, underscoring the necessity of enhanced authorial and institutional collaboration and the prioritization of legal and digital protection mechanisms to safeguard China's intangible cultural legacy for posterity. The analysis is critical, informing policy formulation and strategic planning to bolster ICH's protection and sustainable management in China.
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the complex response techniques employed to halt its spread, are both detrimental to mental and emotional well-being. Students' lives have been damaged by social alienation and self-isolation. These effects must be detected, analyzed, and dealt with to make sure the well-being of individuals, specifically students. This research examines the impact of parent–child relationships, parental autonomy support, and social support on enhancing students' mental well-being using data collected from post-COVID-19. The Potential participants were students from several universities in Pakistan. For this reason, we chose Pakistan's Punjab province, with 8 prominent institutions, as the primary focus for data collection. A questionnaire was created to gather information from 355 students. For descriptive statistics, SPSS was used, while AMOS structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. The findings revealed that social support on mental well-being (standardized β = 0.43, t = 7.57, p < 0.01) and parental autonomy support was significant and positively related to mental well-being (standardized β = 0.31, t = 5.016, p < 0.01), and predicted parent–child relationships. Furthermore, the parent–child relationship strongly mediated the association between social support, parental autonomy support, and students' mental well-being. This research proposes that good social support and parental autonomy support improve parent–children relationships and contribute to students' mental well-being.
The critical role of the educational sector in improving and reforming society and the world has aroused the interest of governments and agencies to exert substantial financial resources to reduce the financial burden of parents in educating children and attaining a holistic approach to national development. This paper evaluates the impact of variables such as professional needs, form of training, duration period, perceived impact, and feedback effect on teacher professional development (PD) in Ghana. To facilitate the study objective, we used a survey design approach to collect data from 400 teachers in the Central region of Ghana. This paper adopted PLS-SEM for analysis. The study concludes that: (1) The duration period of PD training significantly affects teacher feedback effect and professional needs. (2) Feedback effect from teachers has a significant effect on PD. (3) The form of training that teachers receive has a direct effect on PD. (4) Perceived impact influences feedback effect and PD. (5) Teachers' professional needs impact their feedback effect. To achieve the target goals, stakeholders, teachers, and PD planners for SHS, must ask more specifically from teachers about what knowledge or content they would like to learn and their prioritized mode of training and duration period needed.
Drawing insight from affective events theory, this study presents a new dimension of perceived organizational politics and job attitudes. The motivation for this study was based on the fact that perceived organizational politics affect job attitudes and that personal resources (political skill and work ethic) moderate the direct relationship between perceived organizational politics and job attitudes in the context of the higher-education sector. In this regard, the data was collected through purposive sampling from 310 faculty members from higher-education institutions in Pakistan. To test the relationships among the variables, we employed structural equation modeling via the AMOS software version 24.0. The results indicated that perceived organizational politics were significantly negatively related to job satisfaction. Moreover, perceived organizational politics were non-significantly related to job involvement. Political skill and work ethic weakened the relationship between perceived organizational politics and job satisfaction. We anticipated that these personal resources could mitigate the negative effect of perceived organizational politics and job attitudes. This study also suggests organizations to train their employees to develop essential personal skills.
Background: This article takes a look at the technical efficiency of 53 A-share listed companies of Chinese military industrial enterprises in the '10 Major Military-industrial Groups' based on the random Frontier B95 model and the panel data of listed companies from 2010 to 2015.Objectives: The research put forward five influencing factors, namely ownership structure, asset turnover, enterprise size, staff education and regional differences.Method: The article proposed five hypotheses to measure the technical efficiency of the military and civilian enterprises.Results: The results showed a gradual increase in the technical efficiency of sampled military industrial enterprises, even though the overall results were low with a decreasing scale income. There was a positive correlation between ownership concentration and the technical efficiency of military industrial enterprises, but not significant. However, the proportion of state-owned large shareholders and the technical efficiency of military industrial enterprises had a negative correlation and were not significant. Asset turnover ratio, firm size, employee education level and regional differences correlated positively with the technical efficiency of military industrial enterprises, and their influence was seen to be very important.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study provides an empirical basis for further studies enhancing the technical efficiency of military industrial enterprises in China.
