    Analysis on the Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War on Russia

    The Russia-Ukraine war has been the headline of the news since 2022. There are enough research and reviews to explain the historical conflicts between Russia and Ukraine. The research is to assess the potential impact on Russia in the times of the Russia-Ukraine war before understanding in different causes of the war. The global financial restrictions on Russia have already impacted its economy greatly. With the sanctions from USA, UK, and EU, Russia reacted back by restricting their energy exporting to these countries. This led to a surge in inflation for these countries, which rippled the rest of the countries. With many countries negatively influenced by the war and the sanction, the study is meant to explain the rationale behind the war and examine the cost for Russia. Using empirical analysis and secondary research, the reason was oriented in the historical problem between Russia and Ukraine although there are other modern political reasons that would mention as well. The report concluded that Russia is negatively impacted because of different types of sanctions from many countries while Russia’s core and rare natural resources allow it to be resilient in the war.

    The Relationship Between Parenting Styles and Youth Anxiety, Depression and Academic Performance

    As children’s psychological problems become more and more common, many papers focused on the impact of different parenting styles on the development of children’s anxiety and depression. On how certain parenting practises affect the onset of children’s psychological disorders, there is dispute, nevertheless. This paper gathered various papers that examined the relationship between parenting practises and children’s anxiety, depression, and academic performance. The present study then analysed the key points of each paper, listed its benefits and drawbacks, and made recommendations for further study. According to most findings, if parents apply a harsh parenting style, there will be a negative influence on children’s depression, anxiety and academic performance. Though it’s possible that cultural variables still have a significant impact on the association between parental practises and children’s psychological growth. Therefore, future research should concentrate on the effects of various parenting philosophies on kids’ psychological growth within various cultural contexts.

    Analysis of Counter-urbanization and Human Backflow in Chinese Cities

    This study researched hukou’s effect on education inequality, indirectly exacerbating the human backflow to suburbs and rural areas and resulting in more severe counter-urbanization. In the context of the economic downturn, job shortages are particularly acute in big cities. In the 2020s, increasing human inflow in giant cities and new industrial upgrading limit the jobs. Such a situation causes problems in the making of policies. Existing literature analyzes how education inequality affects people’s income but does not combine it with the human flow. This thesis will fill the gap in researching how hukou plays a role in distributing education resources to have an impact on counter-urbanization. Hukou and education inequality cause barriers for migrants to settle down in big cities. The severe employment situation in cities causes human outflow, then exacerbates counter-urbanization. The research results indicate that Hukou will affect the next generation’s education distribution and cause the human flow to turn to rural areas and suburbs in the 2020s.

    The Effect of Peer Influence on Risk-taking Behavior in Adolescents

    Adolescents’ safety has been widely discussed in recent years. If teens fail to develop good safety habits, teens may be harmed at a physical or even mental level. Among other things, the risk-taking behavior of adolescents endangers their safety to a certain extent. Interpersonal interactions are also indispensable in the social environment, especially when adolescents are not yet fully mature, and their peers may also have some influence on their behaviors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between peer influence and risk-taking behavior among adolescents. Peer influence may be accounted for a large portion of the causes of adolescents' behaviors. Based on some past relevant literature, this paper speculates on some potential factors, such as age, cognition, emotion, and gender. Because of some limitations in the existing research, such as the small sample size, some of the inferred conclusions in this paper should be taken with caution. Nevertheless, this paper provides a reference angle for the subsequent improvement of the research area, which can help develop effective prevention and intervention strategies for adolescents.

    The Status and Prospects of Informal Employment Development in China in the Post-Pandemic Era ——Based on the Perspective of Bourdieu's Theory of Practice

    With the rapid development of China’s market economy and urbanization, China’s informal economy has also developed rapidly, and the number of people in informal employment has been increasing. Academics often hold a dualistic perspective on the emergence of informal employment, and in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, neo-Marxist and neo-liberal perspectives emerged. These theories are of some significance in understanding the rise of informal employment in China, but they are not sufficiently comprehensive and detailed, and are difficult to provide a more accurate theoretical basis for decision-making. This paper explores Bourdieu’s theory of practice and recognizes that the informal employment population includes both rural-to-urban and urban-to-urban categories, the latter being more complex. In the post-pandemic era, faced with the background of boosting employment, promoting consumption and restoring the economy, how to guide the informal economy to high-quality development has become an issue that policymakers must consider.

    Challenges of Online Mathematics Learning in Rural Elementary Schools in China

    The challenges online mathematics education faces in rural primary schools in China are systematic. This article addresses five aspects of the challenge. Poor infrastructure, poor signal, and backward network configuration in rural areas have caused students’ online access difficulties. Second, purchasing high-performance electronic equipment is a burden for many families due to poverty in rural areas. In addition, the learning facilitation in rural areas is weak; students need to cope with the rapid transition from traditional offline to online learning. When the drawing and tabulation required for learning mathematics are changed from manual to online, new operations and software must be learned, and both students and teachers need assistance. Finally, teacher-student interaction, assessment and feedback also present unique challenges for online mathematics education. These challenges include physical barriers brought by the external environment and psychological barriers that students need to overcome, which will widen the gap in mathematics achievement between urban and rural students, and some even affect all subjects. Therefore, eliminating these challenges or reducing their negative impact is an urgent task to narrow the urban-rural education gap.
