Many scholars have interpreted the boy’s epiphany in James Joyce’s short story “Araby” as a disillusionment of his ideals, but this does not adequately explain the origins of his “anguish” and “anger”. Auditory narrative provides a new path for re-reading the classics. There is no lack of direct or indirect depiction of sounds in the story, constituting different “soundscapes”. In this paper, we start from the clues of sounds, and listen to the hidden growth process of the boy from conflict with the patriarchal society to being assimilated in the deep structure of the story, which provides a powerful addition to the explanation of his epiphany.

This article examines the rise and development of Aboriginal land ownership in Australia, focusing on the historical and ongoing struggles for land justice. Aboriginal Australians have faced systemic dispossession since colonization, but through activism, legal battles, and landmark events like the Mabo decision and the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, significant progress has been made in reclaiming land. By 2014, Aboriginal groups had gained control over 22% of Australia's land. The article explores the legal, cultural, and economic significance of land rights, emphasizing the importance of land for cultural identity, social structure, and economic empowerment. Aboriginal land ownership enables communities to preserve traditional ecological knowledge, engage in sustainable development, and improve health and wellbeing. Despite these advances, challenges persist, including the ongoing opposition from the state, neoliberal policies, and the clash between Indigenous relational ontologies and market-driven frameworks. The article argues that the continued recognition and return of ancestral lands are essential for closing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage and achieving self-determination. The future of Aboriginal land rights hinges on balancing cultural integrity, environmental sustainability, and economic viability.

Arranging internships for vocational college students is a crucial measure in establishing regional industry-education consortia and serves as an essential component of educational activities in vocational colleges. The successful implementation of internships relies on the collaboration and close coordination among students, vocational colleges, and enterprises. This study reviews and analyzes relevant literature on internships in vocational colleges from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. It further examines the impacts of the three key stakeholders—vocational college students, vocational colleges, and enterprises—closely related to internships. The aim is to enhance the standardization of research on vocational college students’ internships, broaden research themes, and explore additional methodologies.

Autism is a complex, incurable neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms like fixed interests and difficulties with communication as listed by the DSM-5TR. In recent years, research has suggested a disparity in symptoms between men and women that grows with age. Due to environmental and biological factors, women with autism face what may be a very different trajectory of life originating from the same disorder. While various methods of treatment have been used for those with autism, there is little evidence for the effectiveness of sex-specific targeted interventions like mindfulness-based stress reduction on females. Through a transdisciplinary lens, literature from the past decade was collected to attempt to answer the question of “How and to what extent does mindfulness-based stress reduction reduce stress levels in females with autism spectrum disorder when it is taught to them?”. The effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction is found to be greatly relevant to the sex-specific symptoms of females with autism across their lifespan, but it may not be the only possible targeted intervention that is successful with females.

It is well established that reading aloud plays a crucial role in children's development, particularly in enhancing language, literacy, and cognitive skills. However, the effects of reading aloud on second language learners remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the impact of reading aloud on second language development and reading engagement of preschool learners acquiring a second language. Employing a mixed method approach, the research gathered data from multiple sources. Quantitative data were obtained through vocabulary assessments, while qualitative data were collected via interviews with the parents, discussions with a teaching assistant, and field notes. The analysis revealed that reading aloud positively influences children’s vocabulary acquisition. Notably, utilizing both the first language (L1) and the second language (L2) to read the same text significantly enhanced children’s vocabulary recognition skills. Furthermore, engaging reading sessions in both L1 and L2 fostered greater engagement among the children. Ultimately, the reading aloud interventions proved effective in nurturing and cultivating a love for reading among the participants.

Teachers often struggle to provide comprehensive feedback within traditional classroom settings. Leveraging digital technology presents a promising solution. It broadens academic horizons, helps select research topics, and aids in refining language proficiency. Additionally, digital tools facilitate typesetting and formatting adjustments, easing the burden of intricate details. Furthermore, it enriches academic writing by introducing visual presentation.

With the deepening of globalization, international crises can transcend borders and spread worldwide, threatening the security and development of all humanity. Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the theory of crisis management within international politics has gradually matured, leading to the emergence of crisis management models such as third-party intervention, as it has been said, "strategies may no longer exist in the future; instead, crisis management will take their place" [1]. At the same time, individuals acting as third parties have become important managers of international crises, with their strategies and autonomy influencing the course of crisis resolution. This paper uses the First North Korean Nuclear Crisis as a case study to summarize the modes of personal third-party intervention in crisis management and analyze how individuals effectively advanced the negotiation process.

This article takes the works of Giorgio Morandi as an example to explore the relationship between sketching and painting creation.

As the organizers, managers, and guides of student management work in colleges and universities, counselors are at the frontline of student education. Counselors frequently interact with students' parents, leveraging school-family cooperation and their roles as managers to construct a pyramid-like psychological intervention system that progresses through dormitories, classrooms, and schools. This approach allows counselors to stay informed of students' thoughts, provide targeted psychological counseling, and ensure the effective integration of moral education and mental health education, ultimately improving the psychological health education for college students.
