A multidimensional narrative review of the association between air pollution and late-life depression risk
Synthesizing evidence from 80 empirical studies identified through a systematic search of Web of Science, this review highlights the association between air pollution exposure and late-life depression. Results indicate that exposure duration is a critical modifying factor: acute, short-term exposure correlates with symptom exacerbation, whereas long-term, cumulative exposure is linked to increased incidence. Pronounced geographical heterogeneity …
Continuous Professional Development and Its Impact on Instructional Quality in Secondary Education Classrooms
This study examined the impact of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) on instructional quality in secondary education classrooms, drawing on student perceptions from Grade 8 to 12 learners ( N = 250) at Hangzhou No. 14 High School, China. Using a structured 25‐item questionnaire administered via Google Forms, data were collected across four CPD dimensions—training, mentoring and feedback, assessment practices, and reflective practice—and an…

The correlation between temperature and the incidence of acute ischaemic stroke in Yanji, China
Objective: Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a common cerebrovascular disease; however, the relationship between temperature and its onset remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association between temperature and the incidence of AIS in Yanji, a city in Northeast China. Methods: We collected data on patients with AIS from the Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2023, along with meteorological data du…
I can do it
Students’ self-efficacy in language learning is not a static attribute but rather a dynamic construct. However, studies have seldom explored how students’ self-efficacy beliefs change over time, whether there are heterogeneities in the pattern of change among students, and what factors are associated with these patterns of change. This study aimed to (1) investigate the changes in English self-efficacy over time; (2) delve into the distinct traje…

Conventionality and context jointly modulate the effect of inhibitory control on L2 metaphor comprehension
The Structure Building Framework has suggested that inhibitory control plays an important role in metaphor comprehension, yet it remains less clear how the role varies with different types of L2 metaphors in the absence or presence of context. We used a modified flanker task to measure the inhibitory control ability of Chinese-English bilinguals who were divided into two groups: high inhibitory control (HIC) and low inhibitory control (LIC). They…
Global, national, and regional burden of acute myeloid leukemia among 60–89 years-old individuals
Background: Our study examined the global, national, and regional trends in the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with older people's acute myeloid leukemia (AML) over a 30 years period. AML, which predominantly affects individuals aged 60-89, is known for its severity and unfavorable prognosis. By providing insights into the growing burden of AML, our research highlights the urgent need for effective int…
Depression and the risk of fibromyalgia syndrome
Our results suggest that there is no significant genetic evidence linking depression to an increased risk of FM. However, further research is necessary to investigate the potential relationship and underlying mechanisms between depression and the risk of FM
Boosting Learners' Confidence in Learning English
Self‐efficacy is theorized as a malleable construct that can be influenced by teachers' instructions; however, limited effort has been devoted to evaluating the effectiveness of self‐efficacy interventions. This study leverages a mixed methods design to evaluate the effectiveness of a self‐efficacy intervention over 16 weeks among Chinese English as a foreign language learners. Data were collected from 102 secondary school students (52 and 50 stu…
Instrumental activities of daily living trajectories and risk of mild cognitive impairment among Chinese older adults
Background The association between the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) score and the risk of initial cognitive function impairment is inconclusive. We aimed to identify distinctive IADL trajectories and examine their relationship with the onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among Chinese older people. Methods The study used six-wave longitudinal data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey conducted between 2002…
Building Block Extraction from Historical Maps Using Deep Object Attention Networks
The geographical feature extraction of historical maps is an important foundation for realizing the transition from human map reading to machine map reading. The current methods for building block extraction from historical maps have many problems, such as low accuracy and poor scalability. Moreover, the high cost of annotating historical maps further limits its applications. In this study, a method for extracting building blocks from historical …
Are Female Paraphilias Hiding in Plain Sight? Risqué Male–Male Erotica for Women in Sinophone and Anglophone Regions
Female-oriented male–male erotica is a genre of popular culture often know as Boys’ Love (BL), yaoi, and danmei. It is one of the largest by-and-for women sexual subcultures and a global phenomenon. With the largest data sets in the field, we ask: Which risqué sexual content do Sinophone (Chinese-speaking) and Anglophone (English-speaking) participants particularly enjoy in BL and does this differ between cultures?, and Are there sub-demographics…
Engagement with Female-oriented Male-Male Incest Erotica
Boys' Love (BL) is a global by-and-for women genre of youth culture focused on male-on-male sexuality and romance. Incest relationships are not uncommon in BL yet there is no research on what kinds are of most interest to the audience, and with which sub-demographics, and none offer an intercultural comparison. We address this lacuna analyzing data from the largest BL audience survey to date in both Anglophone (N = 1715) and Sinophone (N = 1922) …
Impact of the Inflow Population From Outbreak Areas on the Covid-19 Epidemic in Yunnan Province and the Recommended Control Measures
Background: COVID-19 developed into a global pandemic in 2020 and poses challenges regarding the prevention and control capabilities of countries. A large number of inbound travelers from other regions could lead to a renewed outbreak of COVID-19 in the local regions. Globally, as a result of the imbalance in the control of the epidemic, all countries are facing the risk of a renewed COVID-19 outbreak brought about by travelers from epidemic area…
Female-Oriented Male-Male Erotica
Our aim is to compare comprehensive data on the engaged demographics of female-oriented male-male erotica in Anglophone regions and that of the greater China area. Our study constitutes the largest such data set in each region (Anglophone N = 1707; Chinese N = 1498). Data were analysed from our online Boys’ Love (BL) fandom survey: one version in English and an almost identical version in Chinese. We confirm that the engaged Anglophone demographi…
The Association between Metabolic Syndrome and Biochemical Markers in Beijing Adolescents
Objective: To describe the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents and its association with several MetS-related biochemical markers. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was carried out and data were extracted from the Nutrition and Health Surveillance in Primary and Secondary school students of Beijing (NHSPSB) 2017. Participants were aged 10-15 years old. MetS was diagnosed using the recommended criteria for Chinese adolescents. …
Male‒male marriage in Sinophone and Anglophone Harry Potter danmei and slash
The aim of this study is to compare Sinophone and Anglophone fan fiction consisting of female-oriented male‒male romance: danmei and slash, respectively. To increase comparability, we analysed Harry Potter fan fiction in which the characters Harry and Draco are married. Male‒male marriage was selected because our online Sinophone and Anglophone BL fandom surveys indicate this to be the most popular story element of the nine options we provided. W…
