COGNITIVE DIAGNOSIS of CULTURAL and RURAL TOURISM CONVERGENCE Yanjuan Liu Research Article • DOI: 10.1515/tnsci-2019-0004 • Translational Neuroscience • 10 • 2019 • 19-24 Translational Neuroscience COGNITIVE DIAGNOSIS OF CULTURAL AND RURAL TOURISM CONVERGENCE Yanjuan Liu Abstract School of Business Administration, Henan Neural networks are widely used in the field of cognitive diagnosis. Cognitive diagnosis can diagnose the University of Animal Husbandry and Economy, Zhengzhou 450044, China subjects’ knowledge of cognitive attributes according to their responses, so as to obtain the specific cognitive status of the subjects and provide remedial measures. The studies on the convergence of cultural industry and tourism industry are emerging, but the theoretical system needs to be improved. The research on the convergence mechanism between cultural industry and tourism industry can complement each other on the basis of independent theoretical system, which establishes relationship between the two theoretical systems. Based on the adaptive neural network algorithm and from the perspective of blockchain, this study takes cultural industry and rural tourism industry as examples to diagnose the industry convergence of rural cultural industry and rural tourism industry development, which will further consolidate the theoretical basis for the convergence and development of tourism industry and cultural industry, as well as contribute to promoting development of industry convergence. Keywords Received 10 December 2018 Cognitive diagnosis • Adaptive neural network algorithm • Blockchain perspective • Cultural industry • Rural- tourism industry accepted 28 January 2019 1 Introduction management, and provenance management. development of tourism industry and cultural Blockchain has enormous potential for financial industry, as well as contribute to promoting Blockchain is a new application mode of disintermediation and has a huge impact on development of industry convergence. computer technology such as distributed data guiding global trade. 2 Research on industrial storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus From the perspective of blockchain, the mechanism, and encryption algorithm. theoretical research on the convergence and integration development of rural Blockchain is an important concept of Bitcoin. development of cultural industry and tourism tourism industry and cultural It is essentially a decentralized database. At industry is beneficial to the government, industry the same time, as the underlying technology enterprises and consumers. The research results The development of rural tourism must meet of Bitcoin, it is a string of data generated by are helpful for the government and the relevant the needs of people’s life and entertainment, cryptography, and each block contains bitcoin departments to draw up policies of industry and the development of rural tourism network transaction information is used to development, accelerate the optimization and should meet the needs of people’s life and verify the validity of its information (anti- upgrading of industrial structure, and promote entertainment, and follow the principle of counterfeiting) and generate the next block. the interactive development of industries. The sustainable development. Incorporating The original blockchain is a decentralized results of the theory of industry convergence cultural and creative industries into rural database that contains a list of blocks, with and development will also provide managers tourism can, to a certain extent, strengthen continuously growing and well-organized with more ideas of developing innovative the cultural connotation of rural tourism, so records. Each block contains a timestamp products and elongate the chain of tourism that the project can strengthen the cultural and a link to the previous block: the design industry and cultural industry. Consumers will connotation of rural tourism to a certain extent blockchain makes the data unchanged— get richer product choices and higher levels of and enrich the project. At the same time, it once recorded, the data in one block will be spiritual and cultural needs [1]. can also make some cultural resources of the irreversible.

Industry convergence refers chain, forming a brand-new industry (as shown to search the optimal solution globally. The to the russification of industry boundary on in Figure 3) [3]. second stage is to use the optimal solution the basis of technological convergence and obtained in the genetic algorithm as the initial digital convergence. Natural tourism resources 3 The basic theory of adaptive value of the neural network, and to use the and humanistic tourism resources in rural neural network algorithm neural network to search the local optimal areas constitute the basis for the development solution. The second stage is still composed of of tourism industry. By certain production The adaptive neural network algorithm three-layer neural networks, and the algorithm technological means, these tourism resources synthesizes the basic idea of the artificial neural steps are similar to those of the standard neural are transformed into tourism products and network. Through learning the information network [4]. The basic steps of the adaptive services that are put into the tourism market contained in the input-output data pair, it neural network algorithm are as follows: through operation means and sales channels uses the sequential least square method and [2]. According to the classification principle of the error inverse propagation algorithm to 3.1 Coding scheme industry boundary, this study summarizes the adjust the parameters step by step, and finally This mainly involves binary coding and real industry boundary of rural tourism industry as achieves the goal of obtaining the parameters number encoding. The coding of the nth neuron shown in Figure 1. about the correct input-output relationship. can be expressed by the real number encoding, Based on cultural resources, cultural industry This mainly includes two stages. The first stage as shown in Formula 1. development transforms cultural resources into cultural products and services that reach the cultural market through the cultural Rural tourism Cultural industry communication channels through certain resources resources Technical boundary production technological means according Business boundary to the market demand. In this process, Tourism resource production technological means and cultural development communication channels are the technological boundary of cultural industry. Cultural products and supporting services constitute the product boundary and the target market of cultural Tourism products products becomes the market boundary and services while the enterprise, as the production and Operating sales communication of cultural industry becomes channels Market boundary Product boundary the enterprise boundary of cultural industry (shown in Figure 2). Travel market According to the theory of industry boundary, the shrinkage or disappearance of industry boundary is to adapt to the formation of new industry. The convergence of rural Figure 1.Industrial boundary of the rural tourism industry tourism industry and cultural industry is Cultural resources, cultural enterprises Business boundary divided into three stages: earlier stage, middle stage and later stage. In the earlier stage, tourism industry and cultural industry are Production technology Technical boundary independent of each other, and each has its own industry boundary. They provide products and services with different characteristics and Cultural products and services Product boundary the fungibility between them is very small. Enterprise competition only occurs within the Cultural communication industry boundary.

    Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008 Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: http://crd-net.org/ Email: [email protected] One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights Silencing Complaints: Human Rights Abuses Against Petitioners in China A report by Chinese Human Rights Defenders In its Special Series on Human Rights and the Olympics Abstract As China prepares to host the Olympics, this report finds that illegal interception and arbitrary detention of petitioners bringing grievances to higher authorities have become more systematic and extensive, especially in the host city of the Olympic Games, Beijing. ―The most repressive mechanisms are now being employed to block the steady stream of petitioners from registering their grievances in Beijing. The Chinese government wants to erase the image of people protesting in front of government buildings, as it would ruin the meticulously cultivated impression of a contented, modern, prosperous China welcoming the world to the Olympics this summer,‖ said Liu Debo,1 who participated in the investigations and research for this report. Petitioners, officially estimated to be 10 million, are amongst those most vulnerable to human rights abuses in China today. As they bring complaints about lower levels of government to higher authorities, they face harassment and retaliation. Officially, the Chinese government encourages petitions and has an extensive governmental bureaucracy to handle them. In practice, however, officials at all levels of government have a vested interest in preventing petitioners from speaking up about the mistreatment and injustices they have suffered. The Chinese government has developed a complex extra-legal system to intercept, confine, and punish petitioners in order to control and silence them, often employing brutal means such as assault, surveillance, harassment of family members, kidnapping, and incarceration in secret detention centers, psychiatric institutions and Re-education through Labor camps.

  • A Qualitative Study on the Judicial Social Services for Juvenile Delinquents Ningxin LIU Department of Sociology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China
    2020 2nd International Conference on Pedagogy, Communication and Sociology (ICPCS 2020) ISBN: 978-1-60595-663-3 A Qualitative Study on the Judicial Social Services for Juvenile Delinquents Ningxin LIU Department of Sociology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China Keywords: juvenile delinquency, judicial social service, juvenile justice system Abstract. Juvenile delinquents have become one of the groups that gained much attention from society currently. The present situation and the changes attached to this group have become a significant social topic as well. Through the advance and improvement of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China for the group of juvenile delinquents, the Department of Juvenile in many areas has applied the idea of "less arrestment and less litigation” to juvenile delinquents in the procuratorate system as a result of making more effort to provide the future development of juvenile delinquents. And based on this idea, more needs of judicial social services emerged in doing social inquiry reports and following-up monitoring to juvenile delinquents from government departments. This passage is based on the interview with the manager of Department of Juvenile of People's Procuratorate of Enshi City Hubei Province and one of the social workers in Siyecao Social Work Agency in Jingzhou City Hubei Province, and the analysis for the current situation of the judicial social services. And the corresponding suggestions offered in the passage are partially drawing on the experiences of previous studies and cases from other districts. 1. Introduction The revision of the documents published by the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the People's Republic of China showed changes in several aspects of the Juvenile Justice System.
