- Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as a collaborator for translators. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on whether AI literacy can predict the quality of English-Chinese scientific translations. This mixed-methods study investigates how AI literacy influences the quality of scientific translation, with a focus on its impact on terminology accuracy, fluency, and stylistic coherence. The experiment involved student translators (n=29) who major in translation instead of computer science, translating two texts on computer science with high and low text complexity. Participants could choose whether to use AI at their own free will. Their AI literacy is quantified by the time spent on AI tools, usage frequency, and the number of AI tools used. Quantitative data is corroborated by the Think-Aloud Protocol (Jääskeläinen, 2000) and the postexperiment interviews. The quality is assessed using Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) (Lommel et al., 2014) by two qualified raters. Our findings show that 1) AI literacy significantly increases the quality of the conceptual scientific passage, but not on the operational scientific passage; 2) student translators with high AI literacy perceive AI as an indispensable tool for high-quality scientific translation, while participants with low AI literacy show distrust. Ultimately, we concluded that AI can serve as an effective tool supplementing the translator’s lack of domain knowledge. Nevertheless, the translators’ competence in bilingual knowledge remains of paramount importance in producing accurate, fluent, and stylistically coherent scientific texts. Therefore, we recommend that AI literacy be incorporated into the technical sub-competence of the current mainstream translation competence models.

- Abstract: In the context of the new era, the concept of “all-round education” provides a systematic methodology for deepening ideological and political education in university courses. This article uses classroom teaching as a vehicle to explore how to address the challenge of separating ideological and political education from professional education through mechanisms that involve all personnel throughout the entire process and in every aspect. Theoretically, it elucidates the synergistic logic between “all-round education” and ideological and political education, emphasizing that classroom teaching should achieve a deep integration of knowledge transmission and value guidance through implicit ideological and political infiltration, dynamic value guidance, and a multi-dimensional evaluation system. Practically, it reveals the current challenges in ideological and political education, such as insufficient synergy, methodological shortcomings, and the lack of an evaluation system. It proposes strategies including “designing a three-dimensional linkage mechanism”, “upgrading teaching implementation methods”, and “building a quality assurance system”. These strategies include innovative approaches like cross-entity collaborative lesson planning, four-dimensional classroom integration, project-based learning, and digital technology empowerment. The study points out that the functional restructuring of classroom teaching is a critical breakthrough for implementing moral education, which requires dual drivers of institutional support and technological empowerment to promote the transformation of educational paradigms from “talent cultivation” to “personnel development”, providing practical solutions to the contemporary questions of “what kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom they are cultivated”.

- Authors:
- Keywords: Theft; Fraud; Third-party payment; Alipay
- Abstract: This paper aims to discuss the criminal law evaluation of a series of financial abuses in the background of the rise of third-party payment platforms. In the first part of this paper, the concept of the third-party payment platform and the financial abuse related to the third-party payment platform and its characteristics are introduced. Then, the second part discusses the disputes concerning the criminal law evaluation of financial abuse involving the third-party payment platform, including the causes of the qualitative disputes and the premise of the settlement of the qualitative disputes. The causes of the qualitative dispute mainly include the identification of the legal status of the third-party payment platform, the identification of the legal nature of the funds in the account, and the dispute over theft and fraud. The premise of resolving qualitative disputes includes the identification of the legal status of the third-party payment platform, the legal nature of the funds in the account, and the boundary between theft and fraud. Finally, this paper analyzes the qualitative problems of financial abuse related to thirdparty payment platforms, proposes that the qualitative problems should be based on behavioral means and property attributes, and pays attention to the problems of one crime and several crimes.
