Science, Technology and Global Problems: The United Nations Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology for Development documents the contributions and roles of the Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology (ACAST) in society and nation development. The book is divided into three parts; the first of which gives a historical perspectives of the committee, including its origin, strategy for development, and plan of action. The second part enumerates and details the various areas and sectors ACAST assisted and considered in their goal to achieve quality advancement. The last part provides the overview of ACAST programs. The text will be invaluable to government agencies and offices, especially those in charge of community development. Those who want to dig deeper in the existence and role of ACAST will also benefit from the book.

Corruption and bribery are major and high profile problems in China. This revealing book examines the principle causes and mechanisms of commercial corruption in China today. It offers a clear analysis of the major sources of commercial corruption and bribery, and it contrasts anti-corruption measures used outside of China with the measures China has recently implemented. The book explores the phenomenon from a Chinese perspective and examines the practice of bribery among Chinese people. The book also explores how many foreign companies are actively involved in bribery so as to get more busin

AbstractChina's expanding access to higher education and economic slowdown have resulted in growing social concerns about employment opportunities for fresh graduates. This study investigates the effect of choice of major on starting wages in the Chinese labor market. Analyzing a sample of 45,000 observations from Nanjing, China, we use machine learning techniques to uncover a significant interaction between major specificity (i.e. the specificity of the knowledge and skills each major entails) and education-job relevancy in determining wages. We first take the OLS and Heckman models as the baseline, before employing the KNN and Random Forest model fits. The interaction is then measured by the adjusted Friedman's H-index and finally visualized by network plots and thermal graphs. This research achieves three goals. First, we find that family background, measured by hukou and/or parent education, has no significant impact on major selection and university tier. This finding not only address potential endogeneity concerns, but also has important implications for the study of class mobility in contemporary China. Specifically, it indicates that the impact of the rural-urban social stratification created by the hukou policy has diminished, and that China's higher education system facilitates social equity. Second, this is the first study to use innovative methods to examine the pricing of 206 specific majors in the Chinese labor market. Third, this research provides guidance for individuals choosing their major, governments concerned with educational resource allocation and employment opportunities, and foreign scholars with limited knowledge of China's graduate job market.

AbstractThis article addresses the phenomenon of Netspeak reductions with special reference to Mandarin computer-mediated communication. A tentative classification of Chinese Netspeak reductions is first provided, namely, two-, three-, or four-character reductions occurring at both the lexical and the syntactic levels and other atypical reductions. It is then proposed that Zipf's Principle of Least Effort, which usually works at the lexical level, can work as well at the utterance level and can account for the increasing number of Netspeak reductions in daily communication, that is, the frequency of using Netspeak reduction determines its vitality and distribution.

In recent years the detection rate of depression among Chinese college students has increased significantly. We explored the relationship between physical activity and depression in this population, as well as the mediating role of interpersonal relationship difficulties and subjective
well-being. We used stratified cluster random sampling to recruit a sample of 1,605 college students. The results showed that physical activity was positively correlated with depression, and that interpersonal relationship difficulties and subjective wellbeing had both independent and chain
mediating effects on this link. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for designing interventions to treat depression in college students.
