Chinese students’ motivations for enrolling in English-medium instruction (EMI) programmes in Germany
In recent years, the provision of English-medium instruction (EMI) programmes has emerged as a prominent phenomenon in the higher education (HE) landscape in most non-English-dominant countries. Despite a substantial body of empirical research on the decision-making criteria of students studying abroad, limited attention has been given to their motivations for engaging in EMI programmes in non-Anglophone European countries. To fill that void, thi…

Holocene aeolian-fluvial interactions patterns and their response to climate changes in the Paiku Co basin, Southern Tibetan Plateau
Aeolian-fluvial processes are crucial in shaping landforms. Despite the advancements in understanding the sedimentary processes of aeolian-fluvial interactions, the sedimentary patterns of these interactions are complex in spatiotemporal scale, and the records of Holocene small-scale aeolian-fluvial interaction sedimentary is insufficient, especially in the Tibetan Plateau region. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the sedimentary pattern…

Neural Semantic Parsing with Extremely Rich Symbolic Meaning Representations
Current open-domain neural semantics parsers show impressive performance. However, closer inspection of the symbolic meaning representations they produce reveals significant weaknesses: Sometimes they tend to merely copy character sequences from the source text to form symbolic concepts, defaulting to the most frequent word sense based in the training distribution. By leveraging the hierarchical structure of a lexical ontology, we introduce a nov…

Emotion regulation as a boundary condition of the relationship between team conflict and performance
Although task conflict is widely believed to be beneficial whereas relationship conflict is destructive, evidence overall does not support this conclusion. This study develops the idea that the emotion regulation abilities of team members affect how they manage task and relationship conflict, both as individuals and as a team. Findings from a field study involving 39 teams support the argument that individuals skilled in emotion regulation can ta…

Why de dicto desires are fetishistic
Internalists and externalists fundamentally disagree about how moral judgments motivate. Internalists think that morally good people should have de re desires to do right things, and agents who are motivated by the de dicto desire to do whatever is right are moral fetishists. In contrast, externalists accept that morally good people can have both the relevant de re and de dicto desires. My aim is to provide an argument for internalism, which goes…
