    Chinese modernization is a distinctive symbol for interpreting the Chinese path, explaining Chinese concepts, and demonstrating Chinese solutions. Its advancement onto the international stage and wide recognition cannot be achieved without effective discourse construction. As an important tool for expressing ideas and constructing the world of meaning, and its manner of presentation directly influences how social subjects perceive objectiv things. To construct the international discourse of Chinese modernization, it is necessary to shift the focus from elements of the discourse system to the basic units of discourse, adopt the method of discourse analysis, and establish a four-dimensional logical framework: contextual appropriateness, semantic appropriateness, narrative appropriateness, and discourse-type appropriateness.Contextual appropriateness aims to connect with the pluralistic cognitive context of modernization, integrate into the dialogic context of modernization issues, and echo the visionary context of modernization.Semantic appropriateness aims to construct technical terms to prevent semantic deviation, employ diverse sentence patterns to enhance semantic acceptance, and create issues of concern to achieve semantic resonance.Narrative appropriateness aims to present the heritage of Chinese modernization through cultural narratives, highlight its advantages through comparative narratives, demonstrate its effectiveness through data narratives, and reflect its humanistic concern through life narratives.Discourse-type appropriateness aims to shape rational argumentative discourse, produce flexible social discourse, and refine aesthetic rhetorical discourse for Chinese modernization.

    There exist discrepancies in the concept of "social governance" between government documents and academic literature. In government documents, the concept of "social governance" has evolved from the terms "social public security" and "social management" adopted at previous National Congresses of the Communist Party of China, and has been widely used since the 18th National Congress of the Party, with implications tilted more toward security and social stability maintenance. By contrast, the concept of "social governance" in academic literature is influenced by early research on "governance" and "good governance". In a broader sense, it refers to the governance of all dimensions of social development, allowing greater flexibility in its application.Taken as a whole, the targets of "social governance" cover the entire operation and development process of society—the "narrow sense of society" parallel to economy, politics and culture. Its governing subjects include Party committees, governments, social organizations, the public and other stakeholders. Its objectives lie in the orderly operation and sustainable development of society as a whole. Fundamentally, it means realizing the orderly operation and sustainable development of society as well as sharing corresponding fruits through effective collaboration among all types of subjects (joint construction, joint governance and shared benefits).

    "Nourishing the heart with culture" is a symbolic concept in the construction of China's autonomous knowledge system for mental health education in the new era. Based on the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, "nourishing the heart with culture" is to fully explore and use excellent cultural resources such as excellent traditional Chinese culture, and carry out mental health education everaging the unique advantage of culture's gental and silent influence, and giving full play to the important role of excellent culture in purifsing the soul, enriching the spirit, and nourishing the heart. The proposal of "nourishing the heart with culture" is the latest theoretical crystallization of the integration and development of mental health education and ideological and political education, which goes beyond the situation of "discussing the heart with the heart" and "nurturing the heart with the heart", assuming the role of the connecting hub of "holistic education through five-domains" and "three-wide education" in mental health education, promoting the transformation of China's mental health education from Westernization to indigenization and from imitation to originality. To promote the practice, it is necessary to clarify the ideological orientation and goal orientation of nourishing the heart with culture, explore the content, method and carrier resources of nourishing the heart with culture, build a work organization system, consulting service system, curriculum teaching system and theoretical research system of nourishing the heart with culture, create a collaborative environment of nourishing the heart with culture inside and outside of the school, and build a comprehensive and immersive ecology of nourishing the heart with culture.

    Based on multi-source data such as China's government procurement contracts, Baidu search index, and the national enterprise tax survey database, a multivariate linear regression model was constructed to empirically test the impact of government green procurement on enterprises' green transformation and consumers' green consumption intentions. The results show that at the production end, government green procurement significantly promotes enterprise green transformation, and the positive effects are more significant for private enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, and industries with heavy pollution. Its effect is mainly achieved by enhancing the value of green energy use and strengthening external technical support for enterprises. At the demand end, government green procurement significantly boosts consumers' green consumption intentions, and the effect is more obvious in regions with lower government environmental attention and less local fiscal pressure. Further analysis indicates that supporting policies can strengthen the policy effect; from the perspective of the effective boundary of government green procurement policies, breaking administrative monopolies and improving policy consistency are important means to enhance policy effectiveness. In addition, consumer green consumption intentions have a moderating effect, which helps to enhance the transmission efficiency of the policy in the production end and guide enterprises to further improve the quality of supply. Therefore, the scale of government green procurement should be continuously expanded; the synergy between government green procurement policies and related supporting policies should be strengthened; and policies should be implemented in a way that suits local conditions and enterprises individually, and the allocation of government procurement resources should be continuously optimized.

    The modernization of university governance is a process of adapting to the development in the times and changes in the environment. In the platform era, universities have the potential for platformization and the feasibility of platform-based governance. Platform-based governance of universities is a paradigm that uses multi-sided platform mode and value-creating mechanism to promote interaction and cooperation. The theme is the construction of organizational platform, ecological platform governance, service supply and academic innovation based on platforms. The platform transformation of universities requires establishment of platform thinking, establishment of a fusion framework of hierarchical organization and platform organization, and promotion of ecological co governance based on multi-sided platforms. Therefore, the platform manager should strengthen leadership and promote platform revolution and governance reform of higher education; the platform sponsor should open up governance power, empower the academic system, actively create platforms, improve governance mechanism, and promote ecological governance; the platform providers should strengthen the functions of platform services and connection. The implementation of platform-based governance in universities, aimed at empowering and unleashing academic vitality, helps enhance administrative functions and eliminate control-oriented approaches. This fosters harmonious coexistence between administrative and academic systems, ultimately improving the governance framework, enhancing governance efficacy, and advancing the modernization of university governance.

    A sound research evaluation system serves as a key mechanism for enhancing national innovation capacity. This paper adopts a theoretical perspective focused on institutional elements, selecting the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the Netherlands—three countries with leading global innovation capabilities and distinctive evaluation systems—as representative cases. Employing a multi-case comparative research method, it systematically analyzes their university research evaluation systems across three dimensions: regulatory elements, normative elements, and cultural-cognitive elements. The findings reveal: the UK's system demonstrates strong regulatory, normative, and cultural-cognitive elements; Sweden's university research evaluation system exhibits strong regulatory and cultural-cognitive elements but relatively weak normative elements; while the Netherlands' system features strong normative and cultural-cognitive elements but weaker regulatory elements. The study indicates that the research evaluation systems of world-leading innovation powers all possess three essential institutional elements. Among these, strong cultural-cognitive factors form the stable core, while regulatory and normative factors serve as necessary protective buffers, though their strength may vary. To build an innovation powerhouse, efforts should focus on strengthening the legal and policy framework and policy design, standardizing evaluation processes, optimizing evaluation criteria, and reshaping research culture to foster shared value consensus. This will help establish a wellcorrdinated university research evaluation system that continuously stimulates innovation vitality.

    Under the background of developing Three-Dimensional Transportation, the natural human disposition for spatial mobility provides the moral basis for the right of flight, and the demand for advancing the high-quality development of low-altitude economy and promoting airspace management reform according to law provide the social basis for the right of flight. As an extension of the right of transportation, the right of flight should be defined as a basic right with the attributes of freedom and social rights. To effectively protect citizens' right to fly, we should hold the values of security and equality, and construct a national obligation system with respect obligations, service obligations and provision obligations as the content. From the perspective of constitutionality, when the state restricts the right of flight on the grounds of protecting public interests, it should implement the principle of proportionality. The restrictions shall be carried out around aircraft restrictions, restrictions on plilot qualifications and the use of low-altitude airspace resources. In addition, to promote the development of emerging industries, the means of restriction should be combined with an exemption mechanism for violations of air traffic order and the list-based management approach.

    The right to object to automated decision-making is an important right to safeguarding human agency and correcting the one-way domination of algorithmic systems in the digital age. Its justification rests on three dimensions: the humanistic foundation of protecting personal dignity, the interest-based foundation of pursuing decision-making fairness, and the normative foundation that can be accommodated within the existing legal order. By reducing individuals to calculable objects, compressing their space of choice, weakening communicative rationality, and generating algorithmic domination, automated decision-making restricts data subjects' pursuit of a better life in the digital era. As a subsidiary right of the right to a better life in the digital age, the right to object to automated decision-making goes beyond the traditional dichotomy between liberty rights and social rights, and exhibits a composite character that combines both defensive and positive entitlements. Accordingly, the state should establish a guarantee framework integrating duties of respect and duties of provision. At the level of respect, it should clarify the boundary between digital power and individual rights, develop standards for identifying infringements, and establish basic principles for the exercise of the right. At the level of provision, it should improve an institutional framework connected with algorithmic auditing, optimize mechanisms for explanation, remedies, and alternative services, and reasonably delineate the boundary between data subjects' duty of tolerance and service providers' duty of care.

    Forstering youths' STEM carrer expectations is fundamental for fostering innovative talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. However, the family and individual factors that influence their pursuit of STEM careers still require further investigation. Based on the background of Confucian culture, using student survey data from China, Japan and South Korea in the PISA dataset, this paper investigates the influence and path of family and individual factors on adolescent STEM career expectations. The study finds that family factors, such as parents' occupation, have a significant impact on youths' STEM-CE in all three countries. However, the intensity of this influence varies: with the influence being strongest in Japan. Additionally, there are gender differences in the influence of family factors on youths' STEM-CE. In China, parents' occupation has a stronger influence on whereas in Japan, girls are more likely to pursue STEM careers when their parents have STEM-related occupations. Individual scientific literacy partially mediates the effect of family factors on youths' STEM-CE, and parental emotional support moderates this relationship by enhancing the influence of family factors on individual scientific literacy (in China and Japan). This pathway highlights both distal strategies focusing on parental emotional support and proximal strategies targeting individual scientific literacy aimed at enhancing youths' STEM-CE and scientific aspirations.

    Unlike individual restoration such as psychological restoration and medical restoration, social restoration, refers to the practical process in which members of a community, in order to satisfy the needs of normal production and life, comprehensively utilize the means of governance, such as politics, economy, culture, to cope with internal and external uncertainties, and to adjust the internal structure of the community itself, so as to bring back to a benign order of operation which is affected by shocks and disruptions. As one of the ways of comprehensive management, education has the function of social restoration. On the one hand, education has a wide influence on various restoration projects in society, and it has a comprehensive effect on production, life and ecology; on the other hand, education deeply participates in the whole process of social restoration and devotes itself to the restoration and improvement of social system. Education indirectly builds an anti-fragile and resilient system that integrates resistance, adaptation, recovery and innovation by directly cultivating growth-oriented and resilient talents with repair qualities such as dialogue, empathy, cooperation and learning. Of course, social restoration is not an inherent function of education; its effectiveness hinges on restructuring and optimizing its internal configuration, cultivating resilient talent, and enhancing its own resilience.

    The cultivation of outstanding engineers through industry-education integration spans both the educational and industrial sectors. It is a complex adaptive system involving multiple entities, elements and links. Moreover, the relevant entities constantly adjust their behaviors in response to changes in the environment and resources. Based on the theory of complex adaptive systems, it is found that the integrated industry-education training of outstanding engineers exhibits characteristics such as subject aggregation, nonlinear adaptive behavior, resource "flow" properties, and diversity in result representation. The logic behind the construction of a complex adaptive system for the integrated cultivation of excellent engineers through industry-education collaboration is elucidated from three dimensions: goal-driven, adaptive behavior game among subjects, and actor network construction. The complex adaptive system of the cultivation of integration of education and practice of outstanding engineers involves multiple entities working together towards a common goal, achieving cooperation through adaptive behavior games; it breaks away from the actions of a single entity and relies on a certain organization to cross organizational boundaries and construct an actor network. Based on this, the proposed path for constructing an excellent engineer cultivation system through industry-education integration involves several steps: establishing a value co-creation mechanism that brings together multiple stakeholders, building a system conducive to the exertion of symbiotic effects, and constructing a mechanism to facilitate the flow of heterogeneous resources.
