    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 185 6th International Conference on Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (SSEHR 2017) The Measures of Vocational Education Reform in Shandong to Boost the College Entrance Examination in Spring Zhang Jinzhi Rizhao Polytechnic, Rizhao City, Shandong 276826, China [email protected] Keywords: Shandong province; spring college entrance examination; vocational education. Abstract: The college entrance examination in spring can not only relieve the pressure of students' college entrance examination, but also create favorable conditions for the all-round development of quality education. In addition, the spring entrance examination in spring can also create opportunities for college enrollment expansion. From the effect of the spring college entrance examination in recent years, the effect of the college entrance examination is very significant. As a "big province of college entrance examination" in Shandong Province, the spring college entrance examination in recent years has been continuously improved and innovating, which has provided a great help to postpone the employment pressure of the society. Therefore, the vocational education in Shandong should speed up the reform and use the spring college entrance examination in spring to speed up the pace of talent training. Based on this, this paper starts with the influence of Shandong spring college entrance examination, first analyzes the current situation of Vocational Education in Shandong Province, and then studies the measures of Shandong vocational education reform to boost the spring college entrance examination, hoping to provide some reference for related research. 1. Introduction 1.1 The influence of Shandong province college entrance examination in spring There are many college entrance examination in Shandong province.

  • On the Problems and Suggestions of Cross-Border Exhibition Live Broadcasting from the Perspective of Buyers
    Academic Journal of Business & Management ISSN 2616-5902 Vol. 2, Issue 8: 23-27, DOI: 10.25236/AJBM.2020.020804 On the Problems and Suggestions of Cross-Border Exhibition Live Broadcasting from the Perspective of Buyers Xue Mei1, Teng Qing2 1.Rizhao Polytechnic, Shandong, Rizhao, 276800, China 2.Experimental School Affiliated To Qufu Normal University, Shandong, Rizhao, 276800, China ABSTRACT. Exhibitions in many countries have been canceled due to the outbreak of 2019 novel corona-virus. Although China's convention and exhibition industry has also been greatly impacted, the arising of online cross-border live broadcast has made an option for the future development of the convention and exhibition industry. In 2020, the Canton Fair, the largest trade fair in China, had been held online as scheduled and has achieved good results, seen the world's traders as a new breakthrough point in international trade. However, many problems occurred. This paper provides Suggestions for the sustainable and effective development of online exhibition industry from the perspective of buyers, aiming at how to further improve the development of online exhibition live broadcast. KEYWORDS: online exhibition industry, Online cross-border live broadcast, Problems and suggestions 1. Introduction At the first half year of 2020,the 127th Canton Fair had been opened as usual from June 15 to 24. There had been 50 exhibition areas for 16 categories of commodities, and about 1.8 million export commodities had been exhibited online by 25,000 exhibitors. With the theme of “Mutual benefit in the Cloud”, the Canton Fair made full use of digital technology to display new products of Chinese and foreign enterprises in the cloud, successfully attracting overseas buyers from 217 countries and regions to register for the exhibition, with a record distribution of buyers' sources.

  • Assessment of the Efficacy of Using Taurine Supplements To
    Assessment of the efficacy of using taurine supplements to improve growth and feed utilization of juvenile starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) given diets based on soy-protein Peiyu Li1, Hongyi Bu2, Baoshan Li1, Yongzhi Sun1, Meiqi Wang3 and Zhidong Song1 1 Shandong Marine Resource and Environment Research Institute, Yantai, China 2 Rizhao Polytechnic, Rizhao, China 3 Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai, China ABSTRACT A feeding trial was conducted to assess the feasibility of supplementing taurine in soy-based diets for juvenile starry flounder Platichthys stellatus. The basal diet (Crude protein 66.5%, crude lipid 8.5%) was supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5% taurine to formulate six test diets. Each diet was fed to 40 juvenile fish (22.25 g) in triplicate tanks (120 L) attached to a sea water circulation-system. Fish were fed twice daily by hand to apparent satiation during the 56-d trial. At the end of the trial, fish were counted and weighed for the analyses of growth performance, diet utilization and survival after a 24-h fast. Blood, intestines and muscles were collected for the analyses of serum oxidation resistance, digestive enzymes and body compostion. Livers were collected from the remaining fish at 4 h post-feeding for metabolic enzymes analyses. The results showed that fish fed diets supplemented with 1.0–2.5% taurine grew from 22.25–22.26 g to 47.88–50.40 g with higher average weight gain (25.62–28.12 vs 23.07 g ), specific growth rate (1.37–1.46 vs 1.27%/d ), feed intake (1.04–1.06 vs 1.00%/d), protein efficiency (2.50–2.61 vs 2.44) and lower feed conversion rate (0.84– Submitted 24 July 2020 0.83 vs 0.89) than the control treatment.
