This change undoubtedly brings new challenges to the financial management of colleges and universities. The pre-borrowing invoice business exists in universities, and with the development of accounting informatization, how to effectively manage and prevent the risks of pre-borrowing invoices has become an urgent problem. Combined with the actual work situation, this paper deeply analyzes the risk points of the pre-borrowing invoice business, and puts forward corresponding preventive measures from the two dimensions of pre-borrowing invoice management and accounting based on the background of information technology.</p> CHUNXIAO ZHU, SHUNCHAO HU Copyright (c) 2024 Pacific International Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/570 Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Current Situation and Enhancement of College Students' Mental Health https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/593 <p>The purpose of this study is to investigate college students and examine the current status of their mental health, so as to provide a basis for improving the mental health of college students.

The intention is to provide a foundation for increasing their mental health and improving their subjective well-being. A total of 375 students from vocational colleges were chosen as participants, and their levels of social support and subjective well-being were assessed by the administration of a questionnaire. The findings indicated a substantial positive correlation between subjective well-being and objective support, subjective support, usage of support, and the overall social support score. (2) Female vocational college students exhibit a notably greater degree of assistance use compared to their male counterparts. There exists a notable disparity in survival rates between students pursuing liberal arts and those studying science in terms of subjective well-being, with science students exhibiting much greater levels of subjective well-being compared to liberal arts students. There are notable variations seen across different grades in terms of objective support, subjective support, usage of support, overall social support score, and subjective well-being. Following the LSD post-test analysis, it was determined that freshman students exhibited significantly lower levels of objective support, subjective support, total social support score, and subjective well-being score compared to students in other grades. On the other hand, sophomore students scored significantly higher than students in other grades in terms of utilization of support. (3) A multiple regression analysis revealed that objective support, subjective support, and usage of support positively predict subjective well-being. This research examines the correlation between social support and subjective well-being and offers empirical evidence and theoretical direction to enhance the subjective well-being of vocational college students via more focused coaching.</p> JIHU LU Copyright (c) 2024 Pacific International Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/557 Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 From Grasslands to Global Beats: A Study of Mongolian Ethnic Music Integration in Chinese Pop https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/583 <p>This study goes into the integration of Mongolian Ethnic Music into Chinese pop culture, exploring its historical roots, musical characteristics, and contemporary manifestations.

As a Canadian literary queen, Margaret mainly explores the issue of women's situation and prospects in the society. She depicts the current situation of women with delicate strokes, and<em>&nbsp;The Year of the Flood</em>&nbsp;is a typical example of this. This novel depicts the post-apocalyptic scenario faced by mankind after a waterless flood. The work delves into the postmodern society's over-reliance on technology and material development. People blindly pursue development rather than to fulfil real needs. In this background, the novel reveals the alienating effects of the egoistic tendencies of the society on women's existential condition. This paper applies Fromm's Alienation Theory to analyse the existential situation faced by women in the novel in a capitalist society. The society tends to take economic growth and technological progress as the criteria for measuring social progress, while ignoring the carrying capacity of the ecological environment and the spiritual needs of human beings. This single path of pursuing development not only causes damage to nature, but also alienates women's state of being. Margaret Atwood's works aim to provoke thinking and self-reflection, calling attention to the interactive relationship between man and nature, and man and society. She tries to establish a social order full of respect, equality and social responsibility. Only by truly liberating women and paying attention to the natural environment can mankind achieve true freedom and liberation.</p> Rongmin Zhao Copyright (c) 2024 Pacific International Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/550 Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Pentadic Criticism of Select Western and Chinese Plays https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/579 <p>This study applies Burke’s Pentadic Criticism on the study of selected western and Chinese plays (The Family Reunion by T.S. Eliot; Thunderstorm by Cao Yu) to explore the pentadic elements inherent in each of them. From the perspective of pentadic criticism, the five elements of act, agent, agency, scene, and purpose in the plays, as well as the ten pairs of ratios between them are probed into to figure out the rhetors’ motives individually.

Therefore, Oganesian believes that in the traditional education system and in a large number of mathematical teaching practices, the role of mathematical exercises in developing students' mathematical level is limited. Mathematical exercises are difficult to test students' other aspects of mathematical development and ideological education factors. Introducing new teaching models is an urgent need for teaching mathematical problem-solving. Based on this, Oganesian proposed four steps for solving problems in his book "Teaching Methods for Primary and Secondary School Mathematics": understanding the problem conditions-developing a solution plan - implementing the solution plan - researching the obtained solutions. The article takes the "theorem for determining the perpendicularity of a straight line to a plane" in mathematics as an example, and analyzes its application based on the process of solving problems using the Oganesian method. By introducing mathematical problems into the Oganesian phase problem-solving process, gradually solving problems, delving into the vertical relationship between lines and planes, and analyzing their significance and role in practical applications. Assist students in cultivating thinking methods and problem-solving strategies for mathematical problem-solving systems, guide them to solve mathematical problems more deeply and accurately, enhance the problem-solving ability of mathematical learners, and optimize their thinking logic.</p> Fengxian Li, Fengqing Li, Dongchen Zhao, Yuan Li, Qian Bi Copyright (c) 2024 Pacific International Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/561 Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Operation Management of Grocery Retailer in the UK: A Case of Tesco https://rclss.com/pij/article/view/586 <p>Tesco is the biggest grocery retailer in the UK focused on food products selling and some non-food services such as clothing, home appliances, financial, etc. Over the last five years, Tesco has had a healthy growth in revenues and net profits, which reflects the success of Tesco's operations management.
