This showed that the country’s pursuit of administrative efficiency against the epidemic came at the expense of the universal values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. Moreover, the central government’s slow response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19 and its concealment led to it quickly spreading around the world. For this reason, U.S. President Trump’s administration frequently used the term “Chinese virus” in place of its proper terminology.Although China has been actively building up its image as a “great nation that has succeeded in fighting epidemics” through its “Global Foreign Propaganda” campaign and diplomatic actions, it has still been criticized by European countries, the United States, and other countries at international conferences. The United States and other countries formally blamed China for COVID-19 and asked for compensation, and even anti-Chinese sentiments in the international community have arisen. Although China has employed its “Global Foreign Propaganda” campaign and various diplomatic actions to refurbish and build up a heroic image of fighting against the epidemic, the international community still questions the integrity of its government and its political propaganda purposes.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"515 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123077239","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}

This analytical paper aims to examine freelancing as a device to sustain the socioeconomic actualities of the people in Bangladesh. Along with demographic data, different socioeconomic determinants-related information from 200 freelancers was collected through a structured questionnaire. The chi-square test was applied to the hypotheses to obtain the result. The findings revealed that freelancing as an employment opportunity contributes to increasing income, upgrading living standards, improving the economic stability, alleviating poverty, improving health and nutrition, continuing education, improving the social status and recognition, and having substantial future prospects. It is to publicize the concept more to raise acquaintance and take initiatives to train interested youth, especially women and provide various opportunities in prospective freelancing sources. This study will be helpful to the freelancers as they will have a clear view of the existing promising results and to future researchers also as there are numerous perspectives of the field in developing countries, notably Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132052409","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}

Analysis of responses involved demographic patterns, weighted means of Likert scores, chi square analysis, and correlation and regression analyses.ResultsResults indicated that 37% of adolescents had been subjected to some form of physical violence by parents. The most common form of violence reported was being struck with an object other than a stick. A small but significant number of students were subject to burning, punching, or whipping, in some cases on a daily basis, and some reported having been scarred or hospitalised as a result of their injuries. No significant gender difference was found for types of physical abuse. However, a correlation was found between lower levels of parental education with the frequency of certain types of violent behaviour.ConclusionsThe study indicates that a high level parental physical violence persists in Saudi Arabia, including regular extreme forms that have severe health consequences. Recommendations are made for future research.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116584131","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}

During the Yuanhe to Huichang periods, the literati living in Luoyang often gathered together to create and interact with poetry. The bureaucrats and scribes who lived in Luoyang were the mainstay of poetry writing. The bureaucrats and scribes who lived in Luoyang were the mainstay of poetry writing. They were both prominent politicians and literary leaders, but at a time of political turmoil and fierce party rivalry, they had no way out politically and had to seek a “retreat” from their career and literary expression. The Confucian scribes who were in close proximity to the bureaucratic scribes had lofty goals but unfortunate careers. With its outstanding geographical and cultural advantages, Luoyang provided favourable conditions for the gathering of bureaucratic scribes and for literary creation. It was of great importance in the development and formation of the poetic style of the Mid-Tang. This article examines the poetry of the bureaucratic scribes who lived in Luoyang during the Yuanhe to Huichang periods of the Tang Dynasty within the context of the city’s spatial form. Firstly, the historical transmutation of the geospatial form of the city of Luoyang is explained. Then, from the perspective of public architecture landscape, it explores the emotional experience and spiritual sustenance of bureaucratic scribes to Luoyang urban landscape. It examines the dynamic interaction between the internal architecture of Luoyang City and the literary milieu of the middle Tang Dynasty.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127656779","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}

Chapter 2 “Kaifeng Jewry in the PRC” traces the development of the community from the 1950s to the 1990s, revolving around the ethnic classification campaign that erased Kaifeng Jewry from China’s minzu picture and the modification campaign in 1996 that erased Jewish minzu on paper officially. Chapter 3 “To “return” or to stay, that is the question” invokes accounts of four Kaifeng Jewish descendants who made different choices regarding aliyah and concludes with their motivation either to “return” or to stay. Chapter 4 “Being Chinese in the promised land” investigates the Kaifeng immigrants’ mixed identity as being Chinese and Jewish simultaneously, proposing an examination of “Israeliness” as a competing, alternative socio-cultural awareness to “Chineseness;” it also looks into the racialisation logic and racism confronted by the Kaifeng immigrants that contain their integration into Israeli society.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123722479","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}

There is a magical local herb called ‘flower changing herb’ that can control the sex of the foetus. Thus, every family in Zhanli has only one son and one daughter. People and the environment are not simply in a constraining relationship but are organically linked. The key lies in the moderating role of culture. This thesis aims to interpret the symbiotic concept behind the usage of the herb. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Zhanli, this thesis will explain how the symbiotic concept guides the Zhanli people’s behaviours by analysing the relationship between humans and nature, individuals and the community. Besides, this thesis will also figure out how Zhanli encounters the outside world on the impact of the penetration of urban culture and the government’s poverty reduction programme. Guided by the symbiotic concept, the Zhanli people constantly negotiate with their environment to create a cultural landscape that subverts the dichotomy between human society and the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":388036,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116188411","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}
