Development of a competency framework for airport emergency medical personnel
INTRODUCTION: Airports, as critical transportation hubs, encounter unpredictable medical emergencies that require specialized competencies from emergency nursing staff, but existing hospital-derived training and assessment tools lack tailored, tiered indicators. This study developed a measurable core competency framework for airport emergency nurses based on the Onion Model. METHODS: A preliminary indicator set was established through a comprehen…
Translation and transcultural intertextuality
Multiple translatorship in the digital age
This article examines one of the first Chinese online literary translations from the early 2000s, Xiao Mao’s translations of two classic children’s novels by E. B. White. It uses the concepts of multiple translatorship and (con)textual voices to explain the translator’s involvement with different actors during his problem-solving process. The datasets include the paratexts of the translations, the mailing-list archives, and my interviews with the…

How foreign language learners’ benign and deleterious self-directed humour shapes their classroom anxiety and enjoyment
This study examines how two dimensions of self-directed humour (SDH) (deleterious SDH and benign SDH) can be used by language learners to shape the relationship between foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). A total of 234 Chinese college students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) completed an online questionnaire. Results indicate a chain mediation model, suggesting that FLCA predicted, but onl…

A sociological and paratextual study of literary translations by child translators
The role of spatial changes to paratext in literary translation reception
Paratext is designed to mediate between texts and readers, but few studies have analysed the paratextual evolution of the same translation and its function in relation to a work’s reception. This article examines how spatial changes to paratexts in eleven editions of Rongrong Ren’s Chinese version of Charlotte’s Web have a bearing on the translation’s reception. A qualitative analysis of reader comments on social media shows that: (1) an allograp…

Do structure predictions persevere to multilinguals’ other languages? Evidence from cross-linguistic structural priming in comprehension
Many cross-language sentence processing studies showed structural priming, which suggests a shared representation across languages or separate but interacting representations for each language. To investigate whether multilinguals can rely on such representations to predict structure in comprehension, we conducted two visual-world eye-tracking priming experiments with Cantonese–Mandarin-English multilinguals. Participants were instructed to read …
The role of childhood nostalgia in the reception of translated children’s literature
This article explores how childhood nostalgia influences the reception of translations, specifically in the case of the (re)translation of E. B. White’s children’s book, Charlotte’s Web ( 1952 ). I concentrate on two translations – one by Xin Kang ( White 1979 ) and the other by Rongrong Ren ( White 2004 ). The theoretical framework complements existing reception research with theories of nostalgia, collective memory, and cultural memory. A quali…
Individual variations in British humour appreciation among Chinese–English bilinguals
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: The primary aim of this study is to investigate individual differences in the appreciation of humour in an L2 with a special focus on British humour. It examined the predictive effects of variables including sociobiographical factors, linguistic profiles, domain-specific communication, and degree of acculturation on L2 (British) humour appreciation among late Chinese–English bilinguals. Design/metho…

Re-conceptualizing cultural dissemination in the lens of translational spaces
The Chinese classic TV series Journey to the West was dubbed into English by China Central Television in 2020. While it enjoys some popularity in the English-speaking world, many Chinese viewers learn English from this dubbed drama, aided by timely danmu dictionaries and back translations. This article delves into the directions of this dubbing's dissemination by utilizing translational spaces, a conceptual tool substantiated by incorporating the…
Retranslation as an intertextual space
Two translations of a given text normally tend to be textually related when the retranslator consults the previous version. Such is the case in the Chinese retranslations of E. B. White's The Trumpet of the Swan. One translation is printed, and the other is posted online. The retranslator's paratexts, including the preface, postscript, notes, comments, and mailing list posts reference the prior translation, yet there are also covert intertextual …
The effect of animacy on structural Priming
Interactive reception of online literary translation
This paper examines the reception of Xiao Mao’s online translation of Charlotte’s Web through the interaction between readers and the translator posted on an Internet discussion forum. In 2000, Xiao Mao’s translation was one of the first Chinese literary translations published online. In the analysis, I use Fish’s concept of ‘interpretive community’ in this research. I first collected forum messages between the translator and his readers. Through…

Sex Identification of Slave Sacrifice Victims From Qin State Tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period of China Using Ancient Dna
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis was employed to determine the sex of slave sacrifice victims from Qin State tombs during the Spring and Autumn Period of China. It is difficult to obtain sex information from fragmentary skeleton samples with the aid of skeletal morphology methods. aDNA was extracted from the dentine in selected tooth samples of sacrificial slaves using a modified traditional method, which combines together phenol/chloroform extraction…

Landscape evolution of the Ulan Buh Desert in northern China during the late Quaternary
The evolution of arid environments in northern China was a major environmental change during the Quaternary. Here we present the dating and environmental proxy results from a 35 m long core (A-WL10ZK-1) collected from the Ulan Buh Desert (UBD), along with supplemental data from four other cores. The UBD is one of the main desert dune fields in China and our results indicate the UBD has undergone complex evolution during the late Quaternary. Most …

The relationship between English proficiency and humour appreciation among English L1 users and Chinese L2 users of English
Humour appreciation involves split second detection and resolution of cultural and pragmatic incongruities. Second language (L2) users may need more time and effort to understand and appreciate L2 humour. Previous studies have mostly used decontextualized verbal jokes and reported a linear relationship between L2 proficiency and humour appreciation. The present study strives for more ecological validity by using audiovisual-based, multimodal humo…
Quaternary Permafrost in China
The framework of Quaternary permafrost in China was reconstructed for the first time on the basis of available periglacial, glacial, and other proxies. During the Early Pleistocene (2.68–0.80 Ma BP), permafrost advanced southwards to 47–50° N in northern China and possibly occurred in alpine regions in western China. During the Middle Pleistocene (800–130 ka BP), permafrost occurred extensively on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and in alpine or …
