Young Chinese Wechat Users' Brand Following Behavior, Wonsun Shin, Yan Huo

Makara Human Behavior Studies in Asia

Brand-following of consumers on social media constitutes an important return on investment (ROI) index in digital marketing. However, little is known to date regarding brand-following behaviors of young Chinese social media users on Chinese social media platforms, in addition to the factors associated with them. In this study, our in-depth interviews with 20 emerging adults who followed brands through WeChat indicated that materialistic values, brand-related peer communication, and parents’ opinions regarding different product categories impact the brand-following behaviors of young consumers. The interviews also demonstrated that young people’s brand-following affected their intentions to post brand-related messages that were pertinent to …

Numerical Calculation Of Heat Transfer In Single Medium-Deep Geothermal Well, Shang Hongbo, Zhao Chunhu, Jin Dewu, Xu Shuanhai, Wang Xiaodong, Zhang Weidong, Han Yongliang

Coal Geology & Exploration

Medium-deep geothermal single well heat transfer is a technology of developing geothermal energy to "obtain heat without extracting groundwater". This technology has the advantages of not damaging the groundwater environment and taking more heat. However, there are few studies on the numerical calculation of single well heat transfer above 3000m depth. In this paper, based on the geothermal geological conditions in Xi'an, the numerical method was used to calculate the heat transfer of a medium-deep geothermal single well with different well structures (L-shaped directional wells and cluster directional wells) under the scenario of continuous operation of a heating season. The …

“Other Modernities”: Art, Visual Culture And Patrimony Outside The West. An Introduction, Silvia Naef, Irene Maffi, Wendy Shaw

Artl@s Bulletin

The notion of modernity as a tabula rasa phenomenon that destroys the present in order to build the future is particularly complicated in the case of non-Western settings, where modernization was often understood as erasing local culture in favor of a template borrowed from the West. Historiographies of non-Western arts have mostly followed such a model, viewing fine arts, associated with modernity, as opposed to “traditional” arts, often commodified in the production of nostalgia or marketed for tourists. This article discusses the complexity of art production in non-Western contexts, beyond such reductive classifications.

Challenges And Countermeasures Of Management System Of Basic Research In China, Zeng Mingbin, Li Lingjuan

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

The boundaries of modern basic research have been constantly broadened. Basic research started from the era of "small science" dominated by the free exploration of academic institutions and stepped into the era of "big science" dominated by the state, with all sectors of society working together to promote collaborative innovation. The current management system of basic research in China has gone through several stages of adjustment, and a relatively complete funding system for basic research has been formed. Nevertheless, the resource allocation, organizational model and legal guarantee of basic research still need to be improved continuously.

Virtual Scene Roaming Method Supporting Multi-Layer Path Planning, Shi Min, Yukun Wei, Xiangchen Jin, Suqin Wang, Tianlu Mao

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Taking the automatic role pathfinding in three-dimensional virtual scene as the research background, the author proposes a method of multi-layer pathfinding based on A-star algorithm, and uses advanced heuristic functions to evaluate the cost values of various expansion nodes to confirm the optimal solution to the problems. By introducing collision detection mechanism, the navigation path generated by the improved A* algorithm is modified to avoid collision; and by interpolating the fixed path, the smooth navigation path is constructed using Bézier Curve. The experimental results show that the path finding results can well adapt to the multi-layer case when the …

Perceived Justice, Community Support, Community Identity And Residents’ Quality Of Life: Testing An Integrative Model, Lujun Su, Songshan (Sam) Huang, Mehran Nejati

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study tested an integrative model to investigate the effect of perceived justice, in its three dimensions (procedural, distributive, and interactional), on destination residents’ quality of life (QOL) with perceived community support and community identification as mediators. Analysis on a sample of 453 Gulangyu Island residents in China shows that procedural and interactional justice positively influenced perceived community support, whilst procedural and distributive justice positively affected community identification; both perceived community support and community identification contributed to resident QOL. This study offers a new perspective on how to improve resident QOL in tourist destinations. Theoretical and marketing implications are discussed.

Technology In Parenting Programs: A Systematic Review And Pilot Study Of An App-Based Intervention For Latinx Families, Samantha M. Corralejo

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Technology and psychological treatments have increasingly been used together to increase the reach of psychotherapy and potentially reduce treatment costs. This research focused on how technology has been used to deliver or facilitate treatments focused on behavioral parent training. Behavioral parent training is a research-supported method of improving parenting skills and child behavior. We first reviewed any existing research on the topic, and found that treatments that used technology to teach parenting skills were generally successful at improving parent and child behavior. The review also identified many research questions that have yet to be answered about the cost of such …

Family Problem-Solving And Attachment Quality: Associations With Adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior, Angela Keyzers, Lindsey Weiler, Shelley Haddock, Jennifer Doty

Journal of Youth Development

Close parent–child relationships are protective against the development of delinquent behavior. By creating a context for open communication and trust, parents positively influence adolescent development. The current study examined the associations among attachment quality, family problem-solving, and adolescent risk-taking behavior, as well as the mediating effect of family problem-solving on the relationship between attachment quality and adolescent risk-taking behavior. Participants included 520 adolescents (ages 10 to 19, M = 14.24) and their parents or guardians (N = 520). Two path analyses were conducted to test study hypotheses. As predicted, attachment quality was negatively associated with parent and adolescent perceptions of …

The Words Of Comparative Law, Olivier Moréteau

Journal Articles

While the word "comparative" refers to a cognitive and intellectual activity supposing that there are several elements to compare, the word "law" is used in the singular, as if law was to be compared to itself The whole phrase indicates that comparison takes place within the study of the law, but the use of the singular does not point to a pluralistic approach: what do we mean by law? Should we not talk about "comparing the laws" or "legal comparison"? With a reflection on the words of the law as a starting point, this paper visits the corpus of comparative …
