This study's principal mathematical deduction exploits the importance of the specification of long-term equilibrium level in the mean-reversion short-term interest rate model-such as the CKLS (Chan, Karolyi, Longstaff, and Sanders) model-to describe the dynamic characteristics of future short-term interest rate expectations, especially long-horizon expectations. Therefore, we present a preferred model by introducing a stochastic long-run equilibrium level factor to extend the specifications of the Vasicek model's short-term interest rate dynamics. Using this new type of short-term interest rate as a driver we develop a two-factor affine arbitrage-free model of term structure, the generalized Vasicek mode. The empirical results show that the model not only has a good sample fitting ability to the Chinese government bond yield curve, but also has better performance in capturing the dynamic characteristics of short-term interest rates and short-term interest rate expectations. This study provides not only a promising avenue for future research on improving interest rate modeling techniques and their practical applications in the financial industry but also a new literature base for accurately identifying public expectations and explaining the underlying mechanisms of expectation changes.

The leading role of the media is very important in the new media era to build the reporting system and framework of sexual violence crimes, guide people's awareness and public opinion, and improve society's vigilance on sexual crimes. This study took People's Daily Online, a representative online media in China, as a research object to analyse the reporting of sexual crimes over the past 15 years. We conducted relevant searches for specific keywords set in the Python crawler and used IBM SPSS Statistics 19 software to analyse the frequency of relevant content. The results of the research show that, firstly, there have been significant changes in the number of news stories about sexual crimes. Second, the majority of sexual crime news stories are from mainland China. Third, the focus of the news stories and people is relatively concentrated on the perpetrators. Fourth, the People's Daily Online's coverage of sexual crimes focuses on blaming the perpetrators. Fifth, sexual crimes show that the framework is more episodic. This paper examines changes in the coverage of sexual crimes in China and captures how the media cover socially relevant issues, providing important insights for future social health, psychological awareness and diversion, and media policy.

Coal is a non-renewable fossil energy source on which humanity relies heavily, and producing one ton of raw coal requires the discharge of 2-7 tons of mine water from the ground. The huge drainage task increases the cost of coal mining in coal mines significantly, so saving the drainage cost while guaranteeing the safe production of coal mines is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Most of the fuzzy controllers used in the traditional dynamic planning methods applied to mine drainage are two-dimensional fuzzy controllers with limited control effect, so the traditional two-dimensional fuzzy controllers are improved by introducing the rate of change of gushing water to form a three-dimensional fuzzy controller with three-dimensional control of instantaneous section-water level-rate of change of gushing water, and at the same time, the optimized dynamic planning method is designed by combining the Avoiding Peak Filling Valley strategy and the optimal dy-namic planning method is used in conjunction with the un-optimized dynamic planning method. The optimized dynamic planning method is applied to the same coal mine water silo gushing water experiments; experimental comparison found that the pumping station system before the optimi-zation of the electricity consumed is 52,586 yuan/day, while after the optimization of the electricity consumed is reduced to 41,692 yuan/day, the cost per day consumed compared with the previous reduction of 20.69%, a year can be saved 3,969,730 yuan. Therefore, the mine water bin drainage method based on fuzzy control and Avoiding Peak Filling Valley strategy proposed in this paper can be used as an improvement method of the existing mine drainage method, which can further ex-pand the economic benefits of coal mines and realize safe production while realizing cost savings.
