2025年8月17-19日

Over the past 40 years, with the development of China's economy and changes in lifestyle, such as reduced physical activity, excessive energy intake, and the prevalence of overweight or obesity, the prevalence of diabetes in China has risen from 0.67% in 1980 to 12.4% in 2018. However, the rate of reaching the blood glucose target among Chinese diabetic patients is only 49.4% (HbA1c<7%), and the burden of diabetes is constantly increasing especially the threat of cardiovascular complications of diabetes. In addition, other risk factors that cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are also prevalent in China, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, etc. In 2019, the Chinese government listed the prevention and control of diabetes as part of the "Healthy China" special campaign. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity have driven the high incidence of metabolic cardiovascular diseases in China, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases have become the leading cause of death among Chinese adults. Facing these challenges, early prevention and control of related risk factors may be an effective means to reduce the burden of metabolic cardiovascular diseases in China. Therefore, in recent years, our research team has carried out a series of clinical studies on diabetic cardiovascular diseases in the northwest region of China. In this speech, I will discuss a series of related clinical studies I have conducted in recent years, including the influencing factors of the occurrence, progression and prognosis of diabetes mellitus complicated with coronary heart disease, diabetic kidney disease, diabetic foot ulcers, and diabetes complicated with lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. Identifying these risk factors will help formulate precise prevention and control strategies, which may potentially prevent the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiovascular diseases in this region.

2025第十届经济，管理与社会科学国际会议

2025年8月17-19日

As environmental challenges escalate, the role of education must extend beyond academic success to include the development of informed, responsible global citizens. This keynote addresses the transformative potential of English language teaching (ELT) when combined with environmental education and artificial intelligence (AI). It proposes a dual-purpose model where linguistic competence is developed alongside environmental literacy, preparing students for the complex demands of the future. The session begins by exploring the environmental impact of single-use plastics, using compelling visuals and current data to establish a meaningful, real-world context. This serves as a foundation for content-based instruction, making language learning more authentic, relevant, and impactful. The keynote then demonstrates how AI tools can be harnessed to convert environmental topics into dynamic language tasks. From vocabulary and grammar to reading comprehension and critical thinking, AI enables educators to create customized, level-appropriate activities that are both engaging and pedagogically sound. By integrating sustainability themes with emerging technologies, this approach not only enriches language learning but also promotes critical thinking, active learning and a sense of global responsibility. Attendees will gain practical insights, sample AI-generated materials, and a refreshed pedagogical framework that positions English as a tool for meaningful engagement with global issues. This session is particularly relevant for language educators, curriculum designers, and education leaders committed to interdisciplinary innovation. It offers a forward-thinking vision for ELT—one that is linguistically empowering, socially conscious, and technologically informed.

2025第十届教育与创新国际会议

2025年8月17-19日

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) involves two fundamental characteristics: the delivery of instruction by lecturers who are not physically or temporally present with students, and a commitment to increased openness and flexibility in curriculum design, accessibility, and institutional structure. In Malaysia, there is currently no unified framework to assess the digital competence of higher education lecturers, especially those engaged in ODL. This study aims to design and validate a Digital Competence Standards (DCS) instrument tailored for lecturers who teach and manage ODL programs. The instrument includes 35 items adapted from four globally recognized frameworks: the Digital Competence Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu), ISTE Standards, IC3 Digital Literacy Certification, and the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM). Data were collected via an online survey administered to 35 selected participants. Analysis was conducted using Winstep version 3.69.1.11, evaluating item and person reliability as well as fit statistics such as infit, outfit, and point measure correlation indices. The findings indicate strong reliability for the DCS 2 instrument, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96, item reliability of 0.88, and person reliability of 0.96. Compatibility analysis showed that 34 of the 35 items met acceptable infit and outfit thresholds based on the Rasch model, though one item was identified for potential revision. Overall, the instrument demonstrates robust psychometric properties across the assessed indicators. This validated tool offers a reliable means of measuring digital competence among higher education lecturers and serves as a foundational framework to support the advancement of ODL in Malaysia's academic institutions.

2025年5月25-27日

Permeable pavement (PP) provides stormwater infiltration at source through permeable surface without occupying extra space and receives lots of attention in research and engineering applications worldwide. However, the hydrologic performance of PP under extreme and regular rainfall conditions and their differences have not been well understood, especially through field experiments. This study quantified the runoff mitigation and retention capacity of seven types of PP under different rainfall conditions using artificial rainfall experiments and field monitoring. The results showed that most PP tested in this study generally exhibited good hydrologic performance during extreme and regular rainfall events when they were newly constructed (runoff peak reduction ≥ 52 %). However, porous blocks showed a significant decay in runoff peak reduction (≥ 40 %) after one year of service. Grass cover, resin bound surface, and permeable interlock concrete paver panels performed the best without detectable performance decay. The hydrologic performance of PP can vary in response to different rainfall conditions due to the variation in rainfall-runoff generation mechanisms. Infiltration excess runoff (i.e., permeability of surface layer lower than rainfall input) dominates in events high in intensity and short in duration, while saturation excess runoff (i.e., PP subbase filled up with water) dominates in events low in intensity and long in duration. Based on the mechanisms, the dominant factors that govern the hydrologic performance of PP under different rainfall conditions can be further concisely identified.

Accurate understanding of the spatiotemporal variations in the emissions of fluorinated gases is essential for ozone layer recovery and climate change mitigation. However, current knowledge of these emissions still has limitations in both time and space. We aim to investigate the temporal variations of emissions at different spatial scales, thereby verifying existing emission inventories or updating them based on the verification results. This will allow us to more precisely understand the spatiotemporal patterns of fluorinated gas emissions.

2025第十一届能源，环境与地球科学国际会议

2025年5月25-27日

The solid Earth is the center of energy and mass of the geo-space. Three-dimensional physical property imaging of the upper mantle reveals the movement patterns of matter in the Earth's interior, and the following three inferences world be drawn from the movement patterns. (1) The Earth came from the hydrogen-helium clouds, and a large amount of hydrogen-helium is still preserved in the interior of the Earth, which has become the main material components in the Earth’s fluid-channel networks. The hydrogen-helium reserve in the deep Earth can still be great and incomputable. The exploitation of hydrogen-helium energy in the deep part of the Earth is more beneficial to the sustainable development better than the extraction of hydrogen from seawater. (2) The exploitation of hydrogen-helium energy in the deep part of the Earth requires the development of ultra-deep drilling of about 20 km. The ultra-deep drilling requires new materials of preservation of rigidity at high temperatures. Research on this kind of new materials is key for the exploitation. Where does this new kind of materials come from? It is necessary to look at the periodic table of chemical elements. There is a certain law of element formation in the Earth: elements with superposition of atomic number by 2 and 4 are more abundant, and elements with higher atomic number were generated later in the Earth. As the later elements were generated, their structures became more complex with more complicate properties. The expected new materials for the exploitation can be found from elements with some high atomic numbers that preserve rigidity at high temperatures. Rare-metal elements belong to what we want. (3) At present, half of China's lithosphere is formed relatively young, so it is rich of high atomic numbers, especially the rare-earth ores. Three-dimensional imaging shows that the reserves of the Baiyun-Obo mine in Baotou are account to have half of the world's rare-earth minerals, which was formed by long-term geological actions of the diapir of the asthenosphere 250 million years ago. At present, the exploitation and applications of rare-earth elements in Baotou City have just formed a preliminary productive force, and the prospects for its development are huge and bright. The use of rare-metal minerals and then further develop the new materials will form a complete and very advanced manufacturing chain in China.

Normal brain function relies on proper formation and maintenance of neural networks. My lab has chosen the powerful genetic model system Drosophila melanogaster to study the molecular mechanisms controlling visual circuit development and function, which led to the identification of a number of important and evolutionarily conserved genes. We are currently studying: 1) Coordinated development of neurons and glia in the developing retina; and 2) Control of circuit function and maintenance in the adult visual system. Our recent studies reveal for the first time that insulin-like peptides released from sub-retinal glia stimulate eye precursor cells in the retina to regulate the timing of photoreceptor differentiation. We also identify Neurexin and Neuroligin as key players in mediating photoreceptor synaptic function and the maintenance of photoreceptor subtype identity in the adult retina. These studies are not only essential for understanding the fundamental biology of neuronal circuit development and function, but also provide invaluable clues for the development of new therapeutic strategies aiming to regenerate functional circuits after nerve injuries in patients.

2025年5月25-27日

Heart failure (HF) becomes one of the leading causes of death, with rising incidence and mortality rates. Increasing evidence suggests that changes in myocardial cell metabolism play a central role in the pathogenesis of HF. Under normal conditions, the heart efficiently generates energy through fatty acid oxidation to maintain stable and continuous pumping function. However, in HF, this balance is disrupted, and the heart shifts from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis for energy production. Although glycolysis rapidly produces ATP in the short term, its efficiency is much lower than that of fatty acid oxidation, leading to a loss of metabolic flexibility. This metabolic disturbance worsens cardiac function, creating a vicious cycle. Despite advancements in HF research, little is known about the deeper molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic reprogramming, particularly the synergistic effects of mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum (MAM) interaction abnormalities and glucose-lipid metabolic reprogramming. Both mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum are essential for cellular energy production and lipid/protein synthesis, and their interaction plays a key role in HF-associated metabolic alterations. Investigating this complex regulatory network is crucial for understanding HF pathogenesis and developing effective therapeutic strategies.

The rise in global autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses has intensified the integration of students with ASD in mainstream education, highlighting the necessity for effective School-Family-Community Partnerships (FSCP). This study aims to explore the roles of teachers within FSCP frameworks, identify barriers to effective collaboration, and assess the impact of these collaborations on students with ASD. Utilizing a survey design, data was collected via a structured questionnaire distributed to 253 teachers from diverse urban settings in China, spanning 2021 to 2024. The analysis, conducted through IBM-SPSS and Winsteps 3, revealed that teachers engage most effectively in communication with FSCP, yet face challenges in community collaboration. Key findings indicate that higher educational qualifications and extensive training correlate with improved FSCP collaboration abilities. However, disparities exist based on residential area and age, influencing teachers' engagement levels. The research underscores the critical role of comprehensive teacher training and equitable resource distribution in enhancing FSCP efficacy. These findings offer actionable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to optimize support strategies for students with ASD, advocating for targeted professional development and systemic policy reforms to foster inclusive educational environments.

2025年5月23-25日

Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) has been gaining popularity with more companies integrating its practices to comply with global frameworks. SHRM focuses on balancing organisational triple bottom line goals to emphasize ethical labour practices, employee well-being, and environmentally responsible policies. By prioritising sustainability, organisations can enhance their reputation, attract socially conscious talent, and contribute to a more resilient business environment. One of SHRM’s key areas is on the diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives to create ethical and people-centred workplaces. Using neurodiversity employment, this speech explains how this initiative illustrates SHRM to foster a sustainable workforce that aims for organisational and societal good. Neurodiversity programs create inclusive workplaces for individuals with neurodivergent conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia through tailored hiring processes, workplace accommodations, and specialised support to allow them thrive and grow in their careers. This speech shares examples of neurodiversity programs implemented by global companies, including empirical-based cases from Malaysia. Key commonalities and best practices of these programs will be discussed that require a revisit of traditional HRM. The speaker connects the programs’ alignment to important indicators and metrics under the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Further, challenges and prospects of the neurodiversity employment programs are highlighted in relation to organizational D&I initiatives and SHRM. The speech aims to encourage a discourse on the potentials of neurodiversity programs for organisations and governments to enhance their roles in building sustainable workplaces that support neurodivergent employees while advancing the broader SDG agenda.

2025第十届经济，金融与管理科学国际会议

2025年5月23-25日

Educational equity is a crucial issue in both economic resource allocation and social management. In China, students from financially advantaged families engage in various ways of investment to secure an advantage in educational competition, such as participating in after-school tutoring programs, purchasing homes in desirable school districts, and attending high-tuition private schools. However, the wealthier families can provide more support. To curb the excessive educational investment and promote educational equality, the Chinese government over recent years has issued policies such as “double reduction”, orderly exchange for principals and teachers, and the same enrollment policy for public and private schools. This paper investigates the opportunity fairness in educational competition using game theory models and economic experiments. Students with different economic conditions work hard to learn various topics and invest monetary resources to participate in the competition. The results indicate that even when students’ wealth is above the equilibrium level, differences in its distribution make people more likely to invest money to compete. Furthermore, changing the cost of education has little impact on people's behavior, but using simple learning tasks and imposing investment limits can effectively curb excessive investment. The study has the following policy implications. In a society where income disparities are smaller, the average level of investment in education is significantly reduced. The government can then improve the economic condition of impoverished families through taxes, subsidies, and financial aid. However, measures aimed at changing the cost of education have limited effects. Therefore, if the “double reduction” policy mainly increases the price of tutoring services. Students’ total investment still remains high. Nevertheless, simple learning tasks can effectively reduce the total investment and increase the chances of students from ordinary families. Only when exam questions are difficult, the extra-curricular tutoring increases the chances of success. Finally, limiting high education consumption can also effectively curb excessive investment. This prevents high-income families, even if they have extra money, from gaining educational opportunities that exceed those available to ordinary families.

Most English foreign language (EFL) studies focus solely on human beings. This research explores how edge computing can facilitate learning for all things. The XoT (Xducation of Things) framework was proposed to educate both human and all things. All things encompass two terms: AI-Agent and smartthings (covering physical and digital smart objects). At the core of this framework is Smart Question Answer Forwarding Mechanism (SQA-Forwarding), specifically designed to assist all things in building knowledge. To demonstrate this, the smartXoT environment was developed based on XoT framework, and its impacts on EFL learners was assessed. A quasi-experimental study involving 26 EFL learners, divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG), examined the differences in learning achievement of smartthings and EFL learners when using the smartXoT environment with/without SQA-Forwarding. Findings, on one hand, indicated that smartthings in the EG developed knowledge bases greater than those in the CG. On the other hand, the interaction between EFL learners and smartthings with SQA-Forwarding significantly improved learners’ writing skills, with revisions playing a crucial role in enhancing writing quality. Thus, the XoT framework offers a novel and promising approach to educating both humans and all things.

2025年5月23-25日

This keynote address explores the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming education, with a particular emphasis on advancing global citizenship. Drawing on insights from recent empirical research, it demonstrates how AI-powered technologies can enhance learning experiences and foster intercultural competencies. In an era of growing global interconnectedness, nurturing global citizenship has become imperative. To meet this need, we designed immersive learning environments where students from China and various other countries engaged in dynamic exchanges. These activities encouraged participants to share cultural knowledge and perspectives on global citizenship, enriching their appreciation of diverse viewpoints. AI technologies served as integral components of these environments. They supported learners by enhancing their understanding of course materials, delivering accurate and timely answers to queries, and providing reliable guidance throughout the learning process. These tools also proved instrumental in fostering cross-cultural understanding, improving communication skills, and enabling students to collaborate effectively with peers from different cultural contexts, even when communicating in their native languages. This speech highlights the transformative impact of AI on educational practices and offers practical strategies for educators and researchers aiming to embed AI tools into global citizenship education initiatives.
