The Expression of Conceptual Art in Visual Communication Design
Section: Article Keywords: conceptual art, visual communication design, expressive forms As traditional art forms have been repeatedly excavated, reconstructed, and even parodied, and as the supposed purity of modern art has increasingly come under scrutiny, artistic practice has gradually shifted from emphasizing visual form and stylistic aesthetics toward prioritizing conceptual intention. This transition laid the foundation for the emergence of conceptual art, which positions artistic value in the articulation of an underlying idea rather than in material craftsmanship alone. Building on this premise, the present study investigates how conceptual art manifests within visual communication design and how it reshapes design thinking in contemporary creative practice. Through a systematic analysis of the core principles of conceptual art-such as dematerialization, idea-driven creation, and process-oriented expression-and their integration with the functional, communicative, and symbolic features of visual communication design, this research examines the translation of concept into form across multiple dimensions. These dimensions include the construction of meaning, the selection and transformation of media, and the generation of viewer engagement. The findings suggest that conceptual art not only introduces more flexible and experimental cognitive frameworks into visual communication design but also enriches the field with deeper cultural connotations, heightened critical awareness, and more diverse expressive strategies. Such contributions significantly enhance the artistic value and societal relevance of visual communication design, highlighting its potential to evolve as both a communicative tool and a medium of contemporary cultural discourse.

Analysis and Prediction of New Energy Vehicle Development in China Based on Regression and Time Series Models
Section: Article Keywords: new energy vehicles, ARIMA model, grey relational analysis, multiple linear regression, population competition model, policy impact The rapid expansion of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China represents a vital element of the global transition toward sustainable transportation and carbon neutrality. This study develops a comprehensive modeling framework to quantitatively examine the main influencing factors and predict the future trajectory of China's NEV market. Grey relational analysis is first employed to determine that the density of public charging infrastructure and government subsidy policies exhibit the strongest correlation with NEV sales. Subsequently, an ARIMA (0,1,1) time series model is constructed and validated to forecast annual NEV sales in China for the period 2024-2033, revealing a consistent upward trend. To explore the global implications, a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model is established, indicating a significant yet intricate relationship among the rise of NEVs, the traditional fuel vehicle industry, global oil prices, and associated R&D investments. Furthermore, a population competition model incorporating policy resistance factors is simulated to evaluate the potential impact of international trade barriers. The results show that although external resistance may decelerate growth, it cannot reverse the overall expansion of China's NEV industry. This research offers a solid theoretical foundation and data-driven insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders, emphasizing the necessity of continuous infrastructure investment and strategic policy support.

Innovation Model of Zhongshan's City-Level Integrated Ideological and Political Education Community for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Institutions: A Collaborative Governance Perspective
Section: Article Keywords: integrated ideological and political education across primary, secondary and tertiary institutions, collaborative governance, Zhongshan model, city-level community, case study Advancing the integrated civic and moral education across primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions is a major reform aimed at fulfilling the fundamental task of nurturing well-rounded talent. However, it has long faced challenges such as institutional gaps between educational stages and difficulties in practical coordination. Based on collaborative governance theory, this paper takes a city-level case in Guangdong Province and employs qualitative research methods to systematically examine its innovative practices in building an integrated civic and moral education community. The study finds that the city has established a dual-wheel collaborative governance structure of "administrative support and professional guidance," effectively integrating the resources of the government, universities, and teaching research institutions. By creating a dual-line integrated educational mechanism of "building on historical-cultural resources and empowering through digital platforms," it has addressed issues of uneven resource distribution and spatiotemporal constraints. Furthermore, by developing a "mandatory for all - elective by stage" teacher professional development system, it has achieved an overall enhancement of teaching capacity across educational levels. These innovations collectively form a typical integrated governance model. The research demonstrates that this model, by cultivating key "order parameters" and establishing self-organizing networks, has promoted the collaborative evolution of the city's civic and moral education system from "disorder" to "order," providing an analytical framework for understanding the digital transformation of educational governance. Although the case has limitations in terms of generalizability, the collaborative governance logic revealed by this model offers practical insights and reference value for advancing integrated civic and moral education more broadly and for supporting the modernization of educational governance in other domains.

Multidimensional Profiling of Physical Fitness and Behaviors among Rural Chinese Adolescents Aged 6-13: A Small-Sample Cross-Sectional Study
Section: Article Keywords: adolescents, physical fitness, physical activity, behavioral profiling Purpose: To characterize the physical fitness and behavioral profiles of school-aged children in rural China and to examine associations between lifestyle factors and somatic as well as physiological health indicators. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we conveniently sampled 26 students aged 6-13 years (16 boys, 10 girls) from Fucheng Subdistrict, Luoding, Guangdong. Multidimensional assessments covered four domains: body morphology, physiological function, physical fitness, and lifestyle behaviors. Data were analyzed and visualized in Python 3.12.3. Pearson correlations were used to construct a correlation matrix and a significance-annotated heat map (two-tailed; P<0.05 were considered statistically significant, P<0.01 were considered statistically highly significant). Results: Overall developmental status approximated age-matched norms, and no cases of overweight or obesity were identified. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) score averaged 2.65 ± 0.61; approximately 77% did not meet the recommended activity threshold. Non-learning screen time averaged 2.81 ± 0.64 hours/day, exceeding health guidance. Correlation analyses showed that physical activity level was positively associated with skeletal muscle percentage and negatively associated with weight, BMI, body-fat percentage, and systolic blood pressure; conversely, screen exposure time was positively associated with weight, BMI, and systolic blood pressure, and negatively associated with physical activity. Radar plots indicated relatively better flexibility but marked weaknesses in balance and physical activity dimensions. Conclusions: Rural adolescents face a clustering risk characterized by high screen time and low activity. Community and school interventions should adopt a dual strategy of "moving more and sitting less", strengthening support for physical activity and managing screen time across school and family settings to jointly improve physical fitness and health in school-aged children.

Section: Article Keywords: static balance, body composition, body shape, college student This study investigates the correlation between static balance ability and various segmental fat-to-muscle ratios, waist-to-hip fat ratios, and body morphology, aiming to provide guidance for improving static balance, enhancing athletic training, and preventing injuries related to balance deficits. A total of 47 students from the Department of Physical Education at Jinzhong College, including 26 males and 21 females, were selected as subjects, and body composition, body morphology, and balance ability were measured using the Youjiu Health X-ONE PRO analyzer. Results showed a significant negative correlation between one-leg standing time with eyes closed and total body fat, left lower limb fat, and waist-to-hip fat ratio (r < 0.05), while no significant correlation was observed with total body muscle mass, segmental muscle mass, shoulder-to-waist difference, leg length, leg-to-body ratio, or body weight (r > 0.05). These findings indicate that balance ability is a complex function influenced not only by muscle strength but also by body fat distribution and neural regulation. Therefore, improving balance ability requires not only muscle-strengthening exercises but also body fat management and targeted balance training.
