Menstrual shame is not only a physiological phenomenon, but also a social phenomenon with social connotations. This article summarises the menstrual shame that women experience in everyday life, and describes the direct and indirect negative effects of menstrual shame on women in terms of their physiology and psychology, work and study, as well as the negative effects of menstrual shame on society. The paper also examines the causes of menstrual shame, ranging from historical misconceptions to the lack of sex education and inappropriate media content due to the shame of “sex” in modern society. The lack of proper knowledge about menstruation can make it easier for people's attitudes towards menstruation to be influenced by societal attitudes. This paper also seeks to propose countermeasures: to popularise the physiological significance of menstruation through sex education and to guide positive attitudes towards menstruation through a proper understanding of menstruation. The paper also attempts to strengthen the regulation of menstruation-related content and to encourage talk about menstruation in public places.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132540276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sociological research focusing on the autism spectrum community, even though landing on the same topic as they might be, the research questions of different authors are often diverse, fragmented, and disparate, and the relatively heterogeneous nature of both the research methods and the disciplinary contexts in which the research is rooted adds to the complexity of the situation faced by researchers wishing to provide an overview of the field. This paper attempts to provide a brief overview of the current state of research on the autism community by topic. The reviewed articles on autism communities are selected by keyword search and related literature search, and then organized and summarized in terms of research contents, research methods and reference values. The existing research on autism communities are arranged in terms of their coverage and database characteristics, in hope that doing so would point out possible future directions for researchers.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134296780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Price changes in oil affect every aspect of the economic sphere of each country. The three oil crises in history have become major factors in the world oil market prices. Compared with the other two oil crises, the second oil crisis in 1970 was due to the interruption of Iranian oil exports. The market set psychological expectations for the unsteady oil supply, which led to a surge in oil prices. The study of the second oil crisis is of great significance to Asian countries because Asia, as a region of rapid economic development, has an outstanding internal conflict between oil supply and demand, and the causes of the second oil crisis and its impact on the development of Asian countries are also a major concern for countries around the world. This paper examines the characteristics, causes, and manifestations of the second oil crisis from the perspective of industrial policy through case comparison and other methods. Then, this paper finds that the motivations of the second oil crisis are mainly the decline in oil production capacity caused by the Islamic Revolution and countries' oil reserve plans, which exacerbated the oil crisis. The economic impact of the second oil crisis on developing countries in Asia is mainly reflected in the asymmetry of supply and demand, squeezing domestic economic construction funds, and causing a national debt crisis in oil-poor countries in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134309883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the female body becomes an important site of discipline for women, through dress and grooming. This study attempts to elucidate how women’s physical discipline and physical liberation occur by masculine dress. Starting from symbolic violence, the study elaborates on the regulation of women’s bodies by masculine clothing in terms of both capitalism and gender; it also explains how women can liberate themselves through dressing masculine by rebelling against traditional images, breaking the consistency of biological gender and social gender, and escaping the domination of the male gaze. Therefore, when women have a more thorough understanding of dressing itself, they can better perceive their position and its complexity, and promote women’s liberation through individual practice.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133484613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, compared with their contributions, gig workers face the problems of low level of equity resources and well-being. Based on the theory of resource caravan passageways, this study explores the effect of enterprise-union coupling relationship (EUCR) on work well-being of gig workers from two resource paths: basic labor rights and developmental labor rights. The results show that enterprise-union coupling relationship positively affects work well-being. On the one hand, EUCR enriches the basic equity resources such as labor safety, labor time, labor remuneration standards by promoting basic labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers. On the other hand, EUCR enriches the developmental equity resources such as the professional ability development, employee participation, and work autonomy by promoting developmental labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131771802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better conceptualize and comprehend the dynamics of policy fluctuations and stability, this paper adopts the Punctuated-Equilibrium Model (PEM), which is a model to explain the process of policy stability and changes, to illustrate key variables in policymaking and make the historical review of Taiwan development more predigested. This study in a historical approach by applying the PEM to analyze the policy shifts in Taiwan is unprecedented, and extend the original theoretical model more applicable in a system with both authoritarian system, democratic system and a transition from underdeveloped economy to a modernized economy as the case of Taiwan have demonstrated. Both domestic empirical evidence and comparative researches will be applied to embed the theoretical model into the case. And the results showed that Taiwan’s socioeconomic policy development can be categorized into five different stages in accordance with the PEM, namely Equilibrium of Authoritarian Stability from 1950-1958, First Punctuation from 1958-1965, Equilibrium of Active Statism from 1965-1986, Second Punctuation from 1986-2000, and Equilibrium of Democratic Stability since 2000. In the first punctuation, the freeze of US aid, the incapacity of import substitution strategy and the need for further economic development reframed the government’s policy to be more active in advancing socioeconomic development. In the second punctuation, the imbalance between economic and social development, with the failed political agenda which encouraged the rise of Taiwanese nationalism, produced negative feedback to the policy framing. The policy venues consequently shifted from the government to the opposing groups and public arenas, which eventuated the liberalization and democratization.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128841574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While people enjoy high-quality life, it also brings huge potential health risks. Due to a series of unhealthy lifestyles, such as lack of exercise, unreasonable diet and irregular work and rest, people have gradually developed many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, which are gradually on the rise, and the threat is increasing day by day. This also increases people's health risk factors and the medical burden of the whole society on disease injury. According to the data reported in the World Health Statistics 2022, by 2020, nearly 1 / 6 of the world's adults will die prematurely due to chronic diseases; The total number of deaths from chronic diseases accounts for more than 60% of all deaths, and the number of people who lose their lives due to chronic diseases accounts for about 38 million every year (WTO data source). It can be seen that chronic disease has become a common problem faced by all countries in the world. It has become an urgent task for global public health to introduce relevant response measures and take relevant actions to reduce and curb the growth trend of chronic diseases. Spain's El Pais once reported that half of the countries in the world lack plans to combat chronic diseases. Therefore, accelerating the construction of the 2030 \"healthy China\" action is of great strategic significance for improving the prevention and control of chronic diseases and improving the health level of the whole people.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129138860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its multifaceted role as a cultural intermediary and a gatekeeper, this study primarily frames Spotify as a DSP (Digital Service Provider). The purpose is to explore the dynamics of its business model innovation from a value perspective. Building on a systematic literature review, therefore, it argues that Spotify constructs its value streams mainly around the personalized curation of users’ listening experiences. Specific attention is paid to its freemium subscription model and its algorithmically filtered playlist called \"Discover Weekly.\" Finally, the findings demonstrate that Spotify's business model innovation is an iterative, cumulative and incremental process through which its focus on the personalization strategies could be conceived as a core competency.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116777811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
