ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to define the logics that favoured the adoption of rubber cultivation to the detriment of pineapple cultivation in the sub-prefecture of Bonoua. In a mixed study, we collected information from actors who, by virtue of their function and social position, are in a position to inform us of the realities on the ground. To this end, we conducted the study with local authorities, administrative bodies, people working with or related to rubber, and the youth of Bonoua. We also interviewed representatives of the Burkinabe communities of Bonoua and Tchantchevé. With regard to data collection techniques, we used documentary research, observation and semi-directive interviews. These data were collected using an interview guide and a questionnaire. Based on the empirical study, we traced the history of the shift from pineapple to rubber and defined the logics of adoption of rubber farming on the basis of the theory of social change. This research is part of the sociology of rural development.
ABSTRACT
Experiment is an indispensable link in modern education and teaching. However, because many experiments, such as large-scale industrial experiments, are complicated, difficult and dangerous. Many schools do not allow students to conduct field operations. Therefore, this paper introduces VR technology into industrial realization teaching. Using its ability of virtual reality, it can simulate the real experimental environment, create an industrial experimental teaching simulation laboratory based on VR technology, and effectively make up for the problem that students cannot practice and learn.
ABSTRACT
Regarding drugs that do not have a distribution permit, it is necessary to understand the drugs in question beforehand. Medicine itself means that it is made from ingredients obtained directly from natural Indonesian ingredients, processed based on experience and used in medicine. In principle, drugs can benefit human health, but if the drugs do not have a distribution permit, of course, the drug will cause human disease. Drugs that do not have a distribution permit under the Health Act are widely circulated in the community, including hard drugs. Several drugs are prohibited from circulation, namely thalidomide, meclizine, and phenmetrazine.
ABSTRACT
Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (Volume II) is a microcosm of the development of politics, economy and culture in China, in which the conceptual metaphor has aroused widespread concern in the translation community, and the translation of culture-loaded terms is an important bridge for other countries to understand the development of Chinese culture. Therefore, the accuracy of conceptual metaphor translation is particularly essential. This research mainly explores the metaphor translation of characteristic culture-loaded terms in Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (Volume II) from the perspective of conceptual metaphor, and summarizes the metaphor translation strategies of culture-loaded terms with Chinese characteristics, so as to promote Chinese culture to the world.

ABSTRACT
This paper uses a qualitative approach to analyze the 'fear' of the COVID-19 pandemic in different socio- cultural contexts within communities in Abidjan. Fear-related behavior is a crucial challenge for public policy. Using qualitative methods such as participant observation, interviews with local actors on fear in urban and rural areas. It shows that fear is based on mass media propaganda about the seriousness of the disease and its disruptive effects on the social order that the ideologies of "fear" oscillate between mistrust and resilience of populations leading to a recomposition of social relations. Ultimately, the management of the fear of covid-19 is a perception of a double perversity.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this article is to analyse the social logic behind the use of mediation in the transfer of funds by first-generation Burkinabé transmigrants using mobile financial services. The qualitative methodology was favoured, allowing for individual interviews and a focus group discussion with first and second generation Burkinabe transmigrants living in Méagui (southwestern Côte d'Ivoire). This study reveals that trust, technological competence/confidence and the place of second generation transmigrants in the diaspora community studied, as well as perceptions of e-money institutions, are at the origin of the use of third party mediation when first generation transmigrants transfer funds from mobile financial services. Moreover, the recourse to mediation during the use of the said services for transnational transfers reflects the complexity of the process of socialisation of individuals in the digital age, with in particular a backward transmission of knowledge and know-how in the use of information and communication technologies.
ABSTRACT
Due to the scarcity of evaluation on UAM in previous studies and lack of knowledge of UAM corpus tool for beginners, this paper carries out a comprehensive investigation and makes a review on its merits and demerits, especially demerits. A lot of studies related to UAM from various perspectives within linguistics, mainly describe it as a research instrument rather than a research object. In the meantime, an evaluation standard has been employed in the assessment of UAM corpus tool in this study. According to these principles and other scholars’ analysis on UAM, its main weakness contains limited access, restricted applied domain, not sufficiently accurate automatic and manual annotation, among others. In the longer term, this research will help users to understand and utilize UAM corpus tool critically and provide some inspirations to avoid the influence of its weakness as far as possible, for the sake of reliability and validity of their future study.
