Innovative competence, as a key component of 21st-century core literacies, should be fully integrated into the entire process of disciplinary curriculum instruction in higher education. Current teaching practices in specialized courses are often constrained by several cognitive and practical misconceptions. These include viewing innovation as an “elite privilege,” over-reliance on knowledge transmission and competitive mechanisms, and neglecting the foundational role of core courses in holistic development. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a three-dimensional cultivation model encompassing “motivation–knowledge–innovation.” This model underpins a progressive instructional pathway centered on “problem-driven intrinsic motivation activation, technology-enhanced knowledge network expansion, and integrated output for practical transformation.” The framework is designed to facilitate a fundamental shift in student learning: from passive reception to active inquiry, from linear knowledge accumulation to dynamic network construction, and from memorization and replication to generative thinking. Consequently, it aims to effectively enhance students’ innovative awareness, cognitive quality, and practical capabilities. This study provides an actionable and replicable implementation framework for the systematic cultivation of innovative competence within disciplinary curricula in the era of artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT Dark‐current suppression while enhancing photocurrent remains a critical challenge in photodetectors. Optimizing the structure of optoelectronic devices and selecting appropriate optoelectronic materials to achieve overall performance improvement have always been the goals of researchers. We introduce an Al/p‐Si/Al 2 O 3 /ZnO/2‐Au photodetector that builds upon a three‐electrode, coupled architecture by inserting an ultrathin Al 2 O 3 insulator between p‐Si and ZnO. Leveraging the ultrathin dielectric layer, Schottky junctions, and three‐electrode coupling, we reshape the charge distribution so that the dominant electric field orientation switches from vertical (two‐electrode device) to lateral (three‐electrode device). This suppresses the dark current to 2.95 × 10 −9 A at 10 V. At a bias of 5 V, a wavelength of 365 nm and an illumination power density of 0.688 µW/cm 2 , the device delivers a photocurrent responsivity (R) of 662 A/W, a specific detectivity (D*) of 2.15 × 10 1 6 Jones, an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 2252 %, and switching rise/fall times of 0.10/0.11 s.

Death in Chinese culture is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by centuries of philosophical and religious thought. This study explores the complementary conceptions of death in Chinese tradition through the lenses of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, highlighting their unique contributions and interconnected perspectives. Taoism views death as a natural part of the cosmic cycle, emphasizing harmony with nature, the flow of life energy (Qi), and the continuity of existence beyond physical life. Confucianism, in contrast, frames death within ethical, social, and familial dimensions, stressing filial piety, ancestral reverence, and the cultivation of moral relationships that extend beyond the individual. Buddhism adds a spiritual and soteriological dimension, interpreting death as a transition in the cycle of samsara, governed by karma, impermanence, and the potential for liberation (nirvana). Together, these traditions provide a holistic framework in which death is not merely an end but a transformation that balances natural, moral, and spiritual concerns. Historical examples, such as the philosophy of Wang Yangming, illustrate the integration of these traditions, showing how Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist ideas were synthesized to guide ethical living, spiritual cultivation, and the understanding of mortality. In repetition, Chinese funeral rites and ancestral rituals reflect this synthesis, blending ethical duties, cosmological awareness, and spiritual aspirations. Understanding these complementary conceptions provides valuable insights for scholars in religious studies, philosophy, anthropology, and cross-cultural healthcare, particularly in contexts where death intersects with ethical decision-making, bereavement practices, and cultural sensitivity.
