The Rice–Fish Symbiotic System in the Longxian village is the first Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) in Asia. This paper examined the value transformation mechanism of the Longxian Rice–Fish Symbiotic System from the micro perspective of material cycle and energy flow and quantified its economic value using the gross ecosystem product (GEP). Using the InVEST model and ArcGIS tools, the GEP was estimated to be approximately CNY 116.51 million (approx. CNY 252,624 per hectare per year). The ecosystem regulating service value occupied more than 80% of the GEP. Within the regulating ecosystem services, the climate regulation value was the highest (CNY 55.72 million) followed by flood storage value (CNY 32.77 million). These two categories contributed 94.44% of the total value of regulating ecosystem services. The paper recommends employing GEP to evaluate the value of commodities and services provided by an ecosystem. The methodology and approach of the research can serve as an important reference for other GIAHS programs and provides a scientific and rigorous framework for accessing the economic value of agricultural heritage systems.

Through a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, this study investigated how dimensions of online learning readiness and online connectedness would influence students’ intentions to continue to take online courses. Data from 369 students who took at least one online course at a four-year public university showed that online learning readiness had a stronger relationship with continuance intention than online student connectedness, while online learning readiness had a significant correlation with online student connectedness. Online learning readiness and connectedness are indicators of online learning persistence. Factors such as age, computer/internet self-efficacy, self-directed learning, learner control, and facilitation are all elements that influence students' intention to continue with online learning. Moreover, among the five subscales of readiness, motivation has the strongest connection with continuance intention. In addition, course facilitation was positively and significantly related to the intention to continue participating in courses. The study's implications and directions for future research were also explored.

The post-00s (the Generation after 00s) college students in the new era show the characteristics of slow employment. In order to promote the employment of contemporary college students, this paper analyzes the psychological and ideological problems of slow employment of post-00s college students through questionnaire survey on the dynamic employment thought, value orientation, employment location, professional satisfaction and other issues of contemporary college students. A series of employment promotion strategies adapted to the characteristics of college students under the new situation are put forward from the aspects of perfecting the curriculum system of employment guidance, improving the guidance ability of employment guidance teachers, perfecting the employment guidance and service system of graduates.
