ABSTRACT
The development of nuclear energy, technology and applications programmes s creates a continuous need for a global workforce of highly qualified professionals with appropriate nuclear technical and managerial competence. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides the Nuclear Energy Management (NEM) School programme to help the Member States build and train future leaders in managing the national peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology. As the country with the fastest growth of nuclear energy in the world, China has a complete nuclear industrial chain, and the development of nuclear energy enjoys incomparable advantages. China cooperates with IAEA and holds the China-IAEA NEM School to share its experience and contribute its wisdom to the global nuclear energy development, and to personnel training of emerging nuclear energy countries. This paper reports a case study from the China-IAEA NEM School which investigates the joint cultivation and training mode for young professionals who show managerial potentiality and inherent ability for future leadership positions in the field of nuclear energy and technology in IAEA's Member States that plan to develop or are in the process of embarking upon a nuclear power programme. This study explores the school's training system which is reflected in different aspects, i.e. training format, curriculum, and lecturers. A questionnaire survey is also conducted to analyze trainees' evaluation of the school. The research findings are discussed in light of future developments and implications on young future leaders' cultivation and training in the nuclear field in post COVID era.

ABSTRACT
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), making the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) more pronounced. We explored the effects of FCR on immunotherapy efficacy and quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic in China among the 124 NSCLC patients enrolled in this study. Quality of life and immunotherapy efficacy were compared between high- and low-FCR groups after completing 4-6 courses of treatment or cancer progression. Worse immunotherapy efficacy and quality of life were reported for the high-FCR group than for the low-FCR group. These findings emphasize the need to pay close attention to the level of FCR in NSCLC patients. Efforts should be taken to alleviate FCR levels among NSCLC patients. Moreover, research is needed to investigate the possible link between immunotherapy efficacy and FCR. Copyright © 2022 E-Century Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
This study explores prototype design with psychology methods to guide students to apply their expertise to real product design. We research specific populations in COVID-19 in China and the impact of people's psychological changes on interactive behavior in different context. We transform mental processes such as cognition, emotion, and volition into interaction behaviors with psychological research methods, and then these behaviors are transformed into interaction prototype products. Two prototypes were built and experienced, i.e., CareforCarers and Presport We discuss these prototypes, experiences for initiating interaction design programs based on multidisciplinary education. This study demonstrates how to transform user behaviors, psychological insights, and user needs into interactive prototype designs. We found that integrating psychological elements improve product design's attribute on interaction quality through quick evaluation sessions. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

During the 2019-nCoV,in response to the government's call to achieve 'Suspended classes but non-stop teaching, suspended classes but non-stop learning', family online teaching is carried out nationwide. By applying the resources of the Network Education Platforms such as Chinese University MOOC and Wisdom Tree, this paper discusses the important role of network resources in home-based teaching and the development prospects of promotion together. © 2020 IEEE.
