- Abstract: The transfer of oil and gas resources towards high-risk and high-intensity directions has put forward higher environmental requirements for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, as well as higher demands for operation and maintenance efficiency and safety. Frequent, scattered, bloated and inefficient cleaning and detection operation processes are not conducive to the improvement of intelligent pipeline integrity management systems. This paper studies an intelligent maintenance system integrating cleaning, detection and data. This system is based on a modular concept, adopts multi-modal non-destructive testing technology and a highperformance and efficient edge computing framework, and is an intelligent system integrating structural adaptation, collaboration and data integration. Typical pipeline network field verification. This system has significant advantages in operation efficiency, defect detection accuracy, and data closed-loop management, and has good engineering promotion and application value. It provides a method and technical means for efficient, safe, and intelligent operation and maintenance of long-distance oil and gas pipelines.

Research on Spatial Color Design and Enhancement Strategies in the Revitalization of Wuhan Tongxing Lane: A K-means Cluster Analysis- Based Approach
- Authors:
- Keywords: Color geography; Historic streets; Spatial optimization; Jing-chu culture
- Abstract: In recent years, Wuhan’s traditional alleyway neighborhoods (“Lifen”) have gradually shifted from residential units to commercialized development, inevitably leading to weakened residential functions and fading cultural characteristics. This study takes Tongxing Lane as its research object, examining how color design can introduce commercial vitality while preserving the cultural essence of these historic alleyways. It explores the critical role of color design in revitalizing traditional residential units—balancing urban development with historical continuity through synergistic approaches with commerce—where the dual demands of cultural representation and commercial vibrancy pose urgent challenges for urban regeneration and planning. The paper is structured in three parts: First, it investigates the cultural values embedded in Jing-Chu regional color traditions and early modern architectural palettes. Next, it analyzes the significance of spatial color in historic streetscapes for both cultural preservation and commercial appeal. Finally, employing quantitative methods such as cluster analysis, the study visualizes Tongxing Lane’s chromatic profile and cross-references it with cultural color benchmarks. This systematic evaluation reveals gaps in the current color scheme’s efficacy for cultural symbolism and commercial functionality, elevating color from mere aesthetics to a mediatory tool reconciling culture and commerce. Grounded in urban renewal principles, the research concludes with color optimization strategies for Tongxing Lane’s public spaces.

Mechanisms of Family Interventions on Adolescent Gaming Addiction: The Mediating Roles of Autonomy Support and Psychological Reactance

Chonghao Yang¹ Zengquan Fang¹* Wenbo Kuang² / Guide to Education Innovation / 2025,5(4): 128-142 / 2025-11-25
- Keywords: Family intervention; Adolescent gaming addiction; Autonomy support; Psychological reactance; Parent-child relationship
- Abstract: This study investigates how diverse family intervention strategies influence adolescent gaming addiction through underlying psychological mechanisms. A structural equation model was developed using autonomy support and psychological reactance as mediators, and parent-child relationships as moderators. Data from 2,419 secondary school students were analyzed via SmartPLS. Results indicate that active assistance mitigates gaming addiction by enhancing autonomy support and reducing psychological reactance, whereas permissiveness, restrictive constraint, and monitoring exacerbate addiction indirectly by weakening autonomy or intensifying reactance. Co-playing observation produced offsetting mediations, reflecting its dual activation of psychological processes. Moreover, father-child and mother-child relationships demonstrated opposite moderating effects on the autonomy - addiction path. The study advances theoretical understanding of familybased media behavior regulation and provides empirical guidance for evidence-based interventions promoting adolescents’ digital well-being.

Comparative Analysis of News Discourse on Public Health Emergencies from a Proximization Theory Perspective
- Authors:
- Keywords: China Daily; SARS; COVID-19; proximization strategies; metonymic words
- Abstract: This paper describes a study built on a small corpus based on China Daily’s coverage of SARS and COVID-19 and analyzes the proximization strategies and metonymic words used on the spatial, temporal, and axiological axes. The study findsthat the two public health emergencies’ coverage at differenttimes utilizes a large number of proximization strategies and metonymic words. The differenceis that the COVID-19 news draws upon significantlymore proximization strategies than the SARS news. The findingssuggest that from SARS to COVID-19, Chinese media have accumulated substantial experience in practice and have become increasingly professional in their reporting. Specifically, during the COVID-19 outbreak, they were more skillful at employing discursive strategies to guide the public to respond to the central government’s call for anti-epidemic actively and capitalizing on discursive strategies to establish a harmonious atmosphere for all individuals to combat the epidemic and enhance the determination and cohesion in the fight.

Cultural Gender Metaphors in Modern Chinese Fiction
- Authors:
- Keywords: critical cognitive analysis; gender metaphor; modern Chinese fiction; sexism/gender discrimination
- Abstract: Gender metaphors used in literary works are not merely ornamental linguistic or rhetorical devices, but are more importantly, ideological cognitive tools that exploit the readers’ search for cognitive efficiency, often giving rise to covertly sexist interpretations. However, gender metaphor has received relatively little attention in Chinese literary discourse studies. Based on a self-built corpus of ten modern Chinese fictions that consists of around 1,470,640 words, this paper aims first to identify gender metaphorical expressions in mainstream literary works during a special historical era (the Republican Era: 1912–1949), and then, by analyzing gender metaphors via a critical cognitive analysis framework, to reveal the underlying social and cultural ideologies so as to increase the consciousness of readers’ critical reading.
