Research on the Influencing Factors of Discretionary Non-prosecution
With the structure of criminal offenses in China changing remarkably in the past 20 years, the number of misdemeanors and their proportion in accepted cases have increased significantly. Thus, misdemeanor cases replace felony ones and become the focus of judicial work. Guided by the theory of suiting punishment to crime, the strategy of crime governance should be optimized to meet the needs of misdemeanor governance. The discretionary non-prosecution system, as a system that can best embody the spirit of discretion in the non-prosecution system, is particularly crucial in misdemeanor governance. It can not only bear the vital function of procedure diversion during the examination and prosecution, but also promote the rationalization of the relationship between crime and punishment. However, due to the general legal provisions and fuzzy standards in judicial practice, the application of the discretionary non-prosecution system is limited and fails to play its due role. This paper aims to summarize the practical operation rules of discretionary non-prosecution through empirical analysis and Internet technology and reinterpret the definitions of important concepts in discretionary non-prosecution, such as “minor crime circumstances”, “no need to impose punishment”, and “exemption from punishment” and their relationship, so as to promote the correct understanding and application of discretionary non-prosecution conditions in judicial practice.

On the relationship between Maat’s concept and female status in ancient Egypt
In ancient Egypt with a strong religious belief, Maat was recognized, followed, and respected by all ancient Egyptians for its unique figurative metaphor and multiple connotations. The goddess Maat not only mastered the order of the universe but also guided real society. She was one of the important objects of goddess worship in ancient Egypt. The belief in the goddess Maat, which has been popular for thousands of years, is an imprint of the female status in ancient Egypt. The Maat’s concepts of justice, harmony, and order have influenced the legal, family, and political status of women in ancient Egypt. Maat’s concepts run through the history of the rise and fall of ancient Egyptian civilization and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which are the spiritual source of the high status of ancient Egyptian women.

The Dysfunction and Remedies of Copyright Registration System in the Digital Era
In the digital age, the ever-growing development of communication technologies and their efficiency pose new challenges to the copyright registration system. Whether it is the registration demand for opuscules in the era of explosive works or the need to add the validity of registration under zero-cost dissemination, it signals a new turning point for the copyright registration system and calls for new changes. The inherent logic behind a voluntary copyright registration system lies in legal incentives and the fundamental reason for the malfunction of China’s copyright registration system in the digital age is the imperfection of intrinsic incentive mechanisms. In order to address this problem, based on the Cost-Benefit theory, the paper proposes the construction of a legal incentive mechanism for copyright registration from two aspects: reducing registration costs and increasing registration validity through intensive management, differentiated examination and an auxiliary registration system. It is expected to lower the threshold of copyright registration and meanwhile to provide practical operational standards to increase registration validity.

Cognitive Deficit in Depressed People and its Development
Depression is one of the most common mental disorder that could negatively affects individuals’ feeling, cognition and behaviour. From the cognitive modal of depression, people who have a negatively biased thinking mode tend to produce negative feeling about self, world, and their future (Beck, Aaron T, 2008). Compared to the normality, the ‘abnormal’ people tend to have a different way of interpreting things. This results from the abnormal brain functions which in turn causes cognitive deficits in depressed people. This literature review will focus on how those cognition deficits developed in children and how it causes a ‘depressed brain’. It points out people with depression usually have impairment in executive function, memory, and attention and these cognition impairments are related to the dysfunction of locus control and prefrontal cortex.

Thinking Inertia and Path Dependence in Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States
With the profound adjustment of the international pattern, the Indo-Pacific region has increasingly become one of the most active regions on the international stage and the focus of American foreign strategy has shifted from Europe to the Indo-Pacific region. By observing its policy documents and diplomatic practice on Indo-Pacific regions, we can find that the US Indo-Pacific strategy presents the thinking inertia, which is manifested by its hard power supremacy, the superiority of values, and the presupposition of imaginary enemies. Meanwhile, the United States emphasizes military means, establishes value alliances, and implements competitive blockade policies, showing its path dependence. The deployment and implementation of the US Indo-Pacific strategy are menacing and pose a long-term challenge and threat to China’s development. Based on these tensions, China may summarize and refine the foreign strategic thinking and path of the United States, so as to clarify its intentions and trends before making preventive responses.
