A Unified Multimodal Framework for Joint Visual Question Answering and Image Captioning
type: item
description: Recent advances in vision–language models have significantly improved performance on multimodal tasks such as Visual Question Answering (VQA) and image captioning. However, most existing approaches address these tasks independently, resulting in redundant model architectures and limited cross-task knowledge transfer. In this paper, we propose a unified multimodal framework that jointly learns VQA and image captioning within a single architecture. The proposed model employs a shared vision–language encoder combined with task-specific decoding heads, enabling efficient parameter sharing and improved generalization across tasks. To enhance cross-modal alignment, we introduce a cross-attention mechanism that jointly models interactions between visual features, questions, and captions. In addition, a multi-task learning objective is designed to balance generative and discriminative training signals. We evaluate the proposed framework on the VQA v2 and MSCOCO benchmarks. Experimental results show that our approach achieves +1.7% improvement in VQA accuracy and +4.2 CIDEr score in captioning, while reducing model parameters by approximately 30% compared to separate task-specific models. Furthermore, the unified model demonstrates improved robustness and generalization by leveraging complementary information across tasks. These findings highlight the effectiveness of joint multimodal learning for efficient and scalable vision–language understanding.

Language Policy and Identity in Chinese Classrooms: The Case of Mandarin and Local Dialects
type: item
description: This paper explores the intersection of language policy and identity formation in Chinese classrooms, focusing on the dominance of Standard Mandarin (Putonghua) and its impact on students who speak local dialects such as Cantonese, Shanghainese, Hokkien, and others. While national language policies have promoted linguistic unification as a means of fostering national identity and socioeconomic mobility, these policies often marginalize regional linguistic identities. Drawing from sociolinguistic theory and a review of policy documents and existing literature, this study examines how students experience language regulation in educational settings and how their linguistic identities are shaped, negotiated, or suppressed in the process. The paper argues for a more inclusive approach to language education that acknowledges linguistic diversity as a cultural asset rather than a barrier to national cohesion.

Revisiting the Urban-Rural Education Divide: Implications from Sociocultural Theory
type: item
description: The urban–rural education divide continues to be a pervasive feature of educational inequality globally, reflected in disparities in access, infrastructure, teacher quality, and learning outcomes. While policy responses often emphasize resource redistribution and infrastructural development, they frequently overlook the cultural, linguistic, and contextual dimensions that shape educational engagement. This paper re-examines the urban–rural divide through the lens of sociocultural theory, foregrounding the view that learning is socially situated, culturally mediated, and deeply influenced by place-based experience. Drawing on Vygotsky’s foundational concepts and subsequent contributions to sociocultural thought, the paper critiques dominant, urban-centric educational models and argues for a more nuanced understanding of rural learners’ identities, knowledge systems, and community practices. Through a critical review of literature and theoretical application, the paper advocates for a reconceptualization of educational equity that centers context, cultural relevance, and local agency in both pedagogy and policy.

The Role of School Leadership in Implementing National Education Goals: A Theoretical Perspective from the Chinese Context
type: item
description: School leadership is increasingly recognized as a critical driver of educational reform and policy implementation worldwide. In China, where national education goals are shaped by centralized planning but executed at the local level, school leaders play a pivotal intermediary role. This paper explores how school leadership contributes to the realization of national education goals such as equity, quality, and modernization through a theoretical lens grounded in the Chinese educational context. Adopting a theoretical and conceptual analysis approach, the study draws upon established leadership frameworks including instructional, transformational, and distributed leadership, applying them to the unique structure and culture of the Chinese education system. A targeted review of relevant Chinese education policies and academic literature informs the interpretation and contextualization of these models. The analysis reveals that while Chinese school leaders are increasingly expected to act as agents of change, their roles are often constrained by hierarchical bureaucratic structures, top-down accountability mechanisms, and limited autonomy. Nevertheless, emerging practices, particularly those incorporating distributed and instructional leadership strategies, show promise in aligning school-level initiatives with national priorities. The findings suggest that effective school leadership in China requires both systemic support and cultural adaptation of global leadership models. Enhancing the capacity of school leaders to interpret, adapt, and implement national education goals is essential for the success of ongoing reforms. This paper offers a conceptual foundation for understanding the leadership-policy nexus in centralized education systems and provides implications for leadership development and policy alignment in China and similar contexts.

Enhancing Tourist Satisfaction through Smart Tourism: Evidence from Urban Cities in China
type: item
description: Background: Smart tourism represents a paradigm shift in urban destination management, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and mobile applications to optimize the tourist experience. Despite China's global leadership in deploying smart tourism infrastructure, a disconnect persists between technological implementation and actual tourist satisfaction—raising questions about the effectiveness of current digital strategies. Methods: This study adopts a quantitative, causal-explanatory research design to investigate the influence of five core smart tourism technology attributes—information availability, personalization, accessibility, interactivity, and security—on perceived value and tourist satisfaction. Data were collected from 450 tourists in Beijing and Shanghai using a structured questionnaire, of which 420 valid responses were analyzed. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. Results: The analysis reveals that personalization (β = 0.32, p < 0.001), interactivity (β = 0.21, p < 0.001), and information availability (β = 0.27, p < 0.01) significantly enhance perceived value (R² = 0.62), which in turn strongly predicts tourist satisfaction (β = 0.46, p < 0.001; R² = 0.68). Furthermore, satisfaction positively influences revisit intention (β = 0.38), word-of-mouth (β = 0.34), and willingness to pay a premium (β = 0.29), all at p < 0.001. Mediation analysis confirms that perceived value partially mediates the relationship between smart tourism attributes and satisfaction. Conclusion: This study contributes to smart tourism theory by extending the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework and enriching the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with post-adoption constructs such as perceived value and satisfaction. The findings offer actionable insights for tourism stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of aligning technological innovation with user-centered design, tr…

University Graduates and Employment Challenges: Causes, Impacts, and Countermeasures
type: item
description: This review synthesizes theories and evidence on why many university graduates encounter difficult school-to-work transitions, and which responses most effectively improve outcomes. Conceptually, job-market signaling helps explain why degrees increasingly struggle to differentiate candidates in crowded markets: credentials act as imperfect proxies for productivity and can fuel credential inflation without guaranteeing job-ready skills. Empirically, graduate employment difficulties arise from intersecting drivers high expectations, limited practical experience, inadequate career guidance, and rapid digital transformation impelling multi-actor solutions that engage universities, employers, governments, and graduates themselves. The evidence base points to the value of demand-linked, authentic learning: work-integrated learning (WIL) including internships, co-ops, and project-based placements improves job readiness and eases transitions when designed with clear outcomes, supervision, and reflection. The review also documents economic and psychosocial consequences of delayed or poor matches skill atrophy, slower mobility, and “scarring” effects on earnings and stability underscoring the costs of prolonged underemployment. Beyond supply-side reforms, promising policies pair curriculum renewal with demand creation and de-risking measures (sectoral partnerships, apprenticeship systems, targeted training, entrepreneurship supports), alongside robust career services and labor-market information to calibrate expectations and close feedback loops to programs. Overall, the review argues for a systems approach: quality-assured experiential learning, transparent skills signaling (including micro-credentials), and coordinated policy that expands suitable early-career roles. Such architectures not only raise first-job placement and match quality but also build adaptability for repeated transitions as digitalization and AI continue to reshape work

The Influence of Subject-Specific Teacher Professional Development on Student Achievement In Secondary Schools In China
type: item
description: This study investigates the influence of subject-specific teacher professional development (SS-TPD) on student achievement in secondary schools across China. Drawing on a quantitative design, data were collected from 376 teachers through structured questionnaires and matched with student performance records. The study examined both direct and indirect effects of SS-TPD on student outcomes, mediated by teacher pedagogical practices (TPP). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using PLS-SEM techniques confirmed strong and significant relationships among the constructs. Findings revealed that SS-TPD had a substantial positive effect on TPP (β = 0.805, p < 0.001) and student achievement (β = 0.374, p < 0.001), with TPP also exerting a positive influence on achievement (β = 0.342, p < 0.001). Moreover, TPP partially mediated the relationship between SS-TPD and achievement, underscoring the central role of effective pedagogy in translating teacher learning into student success. The study highlights the importance of sustained, collaborative, and content-focused professional development within China’s exam-driven educational context. Implications are drawn for theory, practice, and policy, emphasizing the need for systemic support and equitable access to SS-TPD, particularly in under-resourced regions.

Exploring the Integration of Chinese Traditional Elements in Visual Communication and Its Influence on Cultural Identity and Public Perception: A review
type: item
description: This review synthesizes scholarship on how Chinese traditional elements, especially calligraphy, ink-wash aesthetics, and symbolic/color systems—are integrated into contemporary visual communication and how these integrations shape cultural identity and public perception. Framed by semiotics, cultural identity theory, and visual rhetoric, the analysis traces a long arc from heritage iconographies , dragon–phoenix dyads, porcelain blues, auspicious reds, to their recontextualization in branding, packaging, advertising, and digital interfaces. Across cases, traditional elements act as semantic carriers anchoring continuity and as rhetorical operators engineered for persuasion, yet reception varies by audience familiarity, generation, and cultural background. The review identifies three persistent gaps: limited systematization of design methods (selection, abstraction, orchestration), insufficient evidence on identity outcomes, particularly for younger publics—and under-segmented audience research. Ethical considerations provenance, regional diversity, and risks of tokenization are discussed alongside glocalization strategies for cross-cultural legibility. The review contributes an integrative framework that links form to meaning and reception, offering guidance for designers, marketers, and cultural institutions seeking culturally responsible, audience-aware applications of Chinese visual heritage.

The Impact of Climate Change on Urban Health and Social Inequality
type: item
description: This paper examines the intersection of climate change, urban health, and social inequality. As global temperatures rise, urban environments face intensified heatwaves, air pollution, flooding, and vector-borne diseases. Vulnerable populations—such as the poor, elderly, and marginalized groups—bear a disproportionate share of these impacts due to inadequate housing, poor healthcare access, and limited adaptive capacity. Drawing on recent studies and urban case analyses, the paper investigates how climate-related stressors exacerbate health disparities and deepen existing inequalities. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze environmental data, health outcomes, and socioeconomic indicators to explore pathways linking climate risks with social vulnerability. The findings underscore the need for climate-sensitive urban planning, public health interventions, and social protection policies. Addressing climate change as a health and equity issue is essential for sustainable development and inclusive resilience building in cities worldwide.

Despite the recognition of bilingual education's potential, challenges persist in its implementation, particularly concerning student performance and program effectiveness. The primary objectives of this research to evaluate the correlation between bilingual education policy implementation and student academic outcomes, identify effective management strategies, and compare performance across different demographic and regional contexts. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study combined quantitative analysis of standardized test scores, GPAs, and language proficiency assessments with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups with educators, students, and parents. The findings revealed that students in bilingual education programs significantly outperformed their monolingual peers, with mean scores indicating substantial academic benefits. Key management strategies identified included continuous professional development, collaborative teaching, active community engagement, and data-driven decision-making. Comparative analysis highlighted performance disparities based on school demographics, showing that urban schools had better outcomes than rural schools, influenced by regional policies supporting bilingual education.

A Management Point of View on the Innovative Use of Front Counter Technology in Hotels
type: item
description: The hotel industry places a significant emphasis on technological innovation as a critical strategic management issue. Despite this, much of the current research on hotel technology has concentrated on the processes of technology acceptance, despite the fact that technology adoption is required for the majority of staff. There is a gap in the academic understanding of the company-wide management processes and effects that are related with technological advancement. This study explored the effects affiliated with hotel front desk digitalization by a large and multi hotel corporation. This research has used the service innovation archetypes as a theoretical lens to conduct their investigation. Written interviews with 140 different hotel managers were carried out in accordance with a qualitative methodology. In order to analyse the data, a theme analysis in three steps was carried out. To be more specific, the sequential recruiting, learning, and deploying process that is connected with technological innovation, the outcomes of digitalization, and the experience value were investigated in order to establish a comprehensive operational framework. The framework gives users strategic information on how to successfully create and manage front desk technology.

Microservices and Web-Services: A Review
type: item
description: Microservices and web services are two architectural styles SOA. From theory point of view both are SOA styles having shared principals and concerns but in more detailed specifications a lot of differences exists. As application developer I need a clear and breve overview that summarize the concerns about each of web services and microservices starting from top level theory aspects ending with the most accurate details, as a complementary aspect of this review; a detailed review about implementation protocols of web services SOAP & REST (which can be used with microservices as well). As Microservice is the latest architectural style of SOA, this also work reviewed the most important challenges of implementing microservices over web services and reviewed comparison (from aspect of loose coupling) between microservices and web services declaring that microservices is more loosed in coupling.

Role of knowledge Management in Customer-Related Business Activities
type: item
description: There is a lack of an overall framework for integrating traditional customer management features and functions with both the management of customer knowledge, especially in the circumstance of marketing decisions, in the existing customer business environment. While conventional CM has concentrated on transactional exchanges to handle customer contacts, KM systems support an organization's knowledge via the process of generating, organizing, distributing, and applying information to improve organizational performance and generate value. Creating knowledge-enabled CM procedures that allow firms to assess important business metrics such as customer happiness, customer profitability, or brand loyalty in order to support their business choices is only achievable by combining CM systems with KM systems. In this way, marketers will be able to tailor their responses to individual consumers' requirements rather of relying on broad generalizations about who their customers are. Using knowledge management technology, we provide an integrated framework for customer management in this study. CM development may be made easier thanks to the framework.

A Design Management Model: Processes, Operations, and Projects
type: item
description: An agenda for the study of design management is presented here. This agenda is predicated on an innovative conceptual underpinning for the management of operations. There are at least three distinct ways in which design processes may be conceived: (1) as a capable of transitioning inputs to outputs; (2) as a flow of materials and information over time and place; and (3) as a process of providing value for consumers. Each of these three perspectives has merit and should be considered. On the other hand, until very recently, the conversion model was the standard practice in the AEC (architectural, engineering, and construction) business. The existing thought and experience of design management is reviewed, basic hypotheses are suggested, and then a research program for design management based on those assumptions is proposed.

Built Environment-related Sensing Procedure for the Asset Management Expenses Reduction
type: item
description: It is possible that sense inside built environment might help save money on asset management while also prolonging the lifespan of assets. Effects are often assessed at a distance from their origins in the built environment. There are significant systematic errors in the model's correlation values as a consequence of the use of approximations derived from a variety of sources, such as boundary layer, geometric simplifications, and numerical assumptions. Even when used during the design phase prior to construction, conservative behavior models sometimes fail to explain measurements of actual behavior. For asset management in a constructed setting, sensor data interpretation has a unique set of challenges. Research on multi model selection was originally prompted by research into model-based diagnostics, but developed into a technique for statistical model falsification. Parallel investigations produced measuring system design methodologies throughout the project. Bayesian model updating has recently been proved to be less exact and accurate in the absence of approximation models than standard applied Bayesian techniques. Details of full-scale case studies used to build model falsification are also briefly provided here. When it comes to data interpretation, the model-falsification technique gives engineers a simple-to-understand tool that fits right in with the built environment itself.

The Role of Design Thinking to Revolution of the Management Education: Issues and Solutions
type: item
description: The design of goods and services is such an important aspect of a company's ability to compete in its industry that big corporations like Procter & Gamble have made it a priority to establish themselves as industry frontrunners in the field of product and service design. Beyond the realm of product and service design, design thinking, which refers to the process of approaching management problems in the same manner that designers approach design problems, may have significant repercussions for management. This is a novel concept that has recently begun to garner recognition in academic literature as well as in the business press. The promise of design as an approach to management has also caught the attention of the management press. Publications like BusinessWeek often highlight the achievements of designers and remark on the significance of design for business management. Issues that emerge have been examined in relation to the significance of innovation as well as the manner in which managers are being educated in these methods.

A Proposed Framework Towards Design and Management World: Integration, Transformation, and Contribution to Enterprises and Markets
type: item
description: Designers and managers may now communicate more effectively, according to the framework proposed. It illustrates the argument using examples from Steelcase and Decathlon, as well as other firms, and draws similarities between the power of design to distinguish, integrate, change, and promote to the business and bottom-line outcomes and the emphasis of a corporation on markets, procedures, skills, and finances. In the summer of 2005, BusinessWeek published a special report consisting of twenty pages on the topic of building creative organizations. The advent of a "creativity economy" in which executives are beginning to find "design strategy" is hailed as a cause for celebration in the study. Universities and professional schools are engaging in new collaborative efforts with various design schools. These institutions are taking their lead from the creative economy.
