Researchers continue to challenge difficult problems in search of excellent
research results. Young researchers are striving for steady posts and
working hard in intense competition. Mental anxiety, frustration and
disorder caused by this process are great impediments not only to the
progress of research but also to the activities of researchers themselves.
One of the goals of this session is to learn how to prevent and improve
mental disorders that everyone could potentially become. We will introduce
mindfulness and Basic-Ph, etc., and provide a chance to learn how to
relieve stress and increase concentration and imagination.
Another theme is effective communication skill that can make use of
marriage. According to the result of the Census of 2015, the lifetime
unmarried rate (the proportion of those who have never married until the
age of 50) was 23.37% for males and 14.06% for women, and updated the
highest ever. Communication skill is not a linguistic element, and
nonverbal elements are also greatly involved. In this session, we will
practice effective communication skills combining linguistic and nonverbal
elements while demonstrating.
