In the stage of compulsory education, there are still many researches on the relationship between math anxiety and students' math achievement. If we cannot understand the internal mechanism between students' emotions and learning performance, we cannot establish a microfoundation for monitoring the quality of compulsory education. In order to further identify the logical relationship between math anxiety and students' math achievement, we systematically collected 31 relevant literature from 2014 to 2024, including a total of 106,636 student samples, and conducted a meta-analysis based on the random effects model. The results show that the correlation coefficient between math anxiety and stud... More >

This research investigates the impact of retrofit interventions on the energy performance of domestic buildings in Ireland using predictive machine learning (ML) models. The study applies machine learning models to classify Building Energy Rating (BER) for dwellings in County Dublin Ireland. Keeping the focus on selecting features in a highly correlated dataset, the study predicts energy ratings with an accuracy of 69 percent. Light Gradient Boosting Machine Classifier is observed for best performance among twenty plus ML models applied for prediction. The study also performs retrofit experiments on dwelling features and evaluate their effectiveness towards improving the energy performance o... More >

Cloud farming, a novel e-commerce model enabled by technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, is reshaping the landscape of rural agricultural development. By allowing urban consumers to remotely participate in livestock farming through digital platforms, cloud farming establishes a direct connection between producers and consumers, enhances land and labor value in rural areas, and stimulates financial investment. This editorial explores the technical foundations, advantages, and potential risks of cloud farming, including concerns over market uncertainty, financial misconduct, environmental impact, and data security. It concludes that while cloud farming presents considerable... More >

Taking China as an example, “Reintegrative Shaming” can provide new ideas for the progress of juvenile criminal justice, especially educational correction. Although “Reintegrative Shaming” is often regarded as a philosophy of law, it is not only a theory but also a feasible method under the verification of psychology. Because the emotional experience of shame has a moderating effect on the behavioral habits of minors, appropriate forgiveness can avoid the negative effects of excessive shame. In order to effectively apply “Reintegrative Shaming” in juvenile criminal justice, it is also necessary to rationalize the conduct of persuasive sessions and to give due consideration to the...
