Gamified Language Learning
This study examined the effectiveness of Nihongo Quest, a theory-driven role-playing game (RPG) developed for beginner learners of Japanese. Sixty undergraduate students participated in an eight-week quasi-experimental study comparing a game-based learning (GBL) condition with a traditional textbook-based condition. Results indicated that participants in the GBL group demonstrated significantly greater gains in vocabulary ( d = 1.45) and grammar …
Urban misogyny
This study traces the historical evolution of misogyny in urban China through a critical discourse analysis of the label laonü, a stigmatizing term that encapsulates complex intersections of gender, class, regionalism, migration, the state’s Household Registration System, and power relations. Shaped by China’s rapid urbanization and social transformation, the discourses surrounding laonü reflect a distinctive form of ‘Chinese-style urban misogyny…
Gut microbiota–intestinal barrier crosstalk
Background: The intestinal barrier is a critical interface between the host and the external environment, and growing evidence indicates that bidirectional crosstalk between the gut microbiota and the intestinal barrier is a key determinant of intestinal and systemic health. Disruption of this interaction has been implicated in the development of multiple chronic non-communicable diseases, including inflammatory, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and…
Medilegacy
Objective: This study developed and evaluated MEDILEGACY, a gamified learning platform designed to improve medical terminology education by enhancing knowledge retention and learner motivation. Method: A randomised controlled trial with 68 nursing and medical students compared MEDILEGACY with a traditional textbook-based study over 4 weeks. Learning outcomes were assessed with a 30-item multiple-choice test, while usability and engagement were ev…

Automated Care in a Domestic Space
This article is a feminist reading of Hao Jingfang's science fiction story 'The Question of Love' (2017) which invites a dialogue between enduring feminist agendas and neoliberal conditions in contemporary China. The story offers near-future techno-imaginaries of a Chinese urban elite's household, and it problematises the privatisation of labour's social reproduction via techno-automation, especially the power relation of the non-caring subject-p…
The potential impact of legality requirements for China’s imported timber
Utilizing the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM), this paper analyzes the potential impacts of China’s timber import legality requirement policies. Two alternative scenarios are compared with the baseline scenario: (1) China requires that imported timber must comply with the requirements of Verified Legal Compliance (VLC), (2) China imposes tighter requirements for imported timber, which must come from sustainably managed forests and meet Forest…
Strategies for Overcoming Challenges in Promoting a Socially-More Responsive Code of Building Information Modeling in Egypt
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a potential solution to numerous challenges in asset management, including missing data, incompatible software, and unclear business processes. However, the current use of BIM in construction projects has focused on the application of technology and digital information delivery, neglecting system compatibility and information needs. This oversight can lead to a gap resulting in varying levels of implementati…

Effects of electroconvulsive therapy on inflammatory markers and depressive symptoms in adolescents with major depressive disorder
While initial inflammatory marker levels did not predict the response to ECT, the post-treatment measures appeared to be linked to clinical improvement. These findings suggest ECT's potential effectiveness in treating severe MDD in adolescents and point to the possible predictive value of inflammatory markers in therapeutic outcomes. The study contributes to our understanding of the biopsychosocial framework of MDD and indicates that ECT may be a…

Dangai fandoms under crossfire
Dangai web series burgeoned in the People's Republic of China in the late 2010s and introduced mainstream audiences to a brand of semihomoerotic media culture. We develop an ecological analysis of dangai production by surveying the four processes of online literature creation, entertainment production, censorship and regulation, and fan participation. We propose two arguments on media convergence/permeability and on queer fandom disruption. First…

There is rapid urbanization around the Kalan Masjid which is a historical mosque in Old Delhi, India. There are extensive encroachments near the historical mosque, which is located in the midst of a complex series of residential buildings. Unfortunately, some of these buildings have encroached …
Adherence to Antiretrovirals and HIV Viral Suppression Under Covid-19 Pandemic Interruption – Findings from a Randomized Clinical Trial Using Ingestible Sensors to Monitor Adherence
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on vulnerable populations, including people living with HIV. California implemented a coronavirus lockdown (stay-at-home order) in March 2020, which ended in January 2021. We evaluated the pandemic's impact on both clinical outcomes of HIV RNA viral load (VL) and retention rate in a randomized clinical trial conducted from May 2018 to October 2020. The intervention group took co-encapsulated antiretr…

The Effects of Tone Pattern and Register in Perceptions of Tone 2 and Tone 3 in Mandarin
摘要: 使用心理-物理的方法研究了汉语普通话母语者对阳平和上声的感知。实验结果表明:普通话母语者对阳平和上声的分辨呈现出一定的范畴化倾向, 但普通话母语者区分这两个声调的范畴化程度不及他们区分阴平和阳平的范畴化程度; 普通话母语者不倾向于把孤立的低平升调和低平调辨认为上声; 在调阶不高的条件下, 音高曲线终点的“高”对于阳平的感知并不重要。这些结果暗示着, “低降”是和“升”分别是普通话上声和阳平的音系特征, 普通话可能也像吴方言一样存在阴、阳调域的差别, 阳平和上声同属于低调域

P36 Distribution of physical activity amenities in Scotland by small area measures of deprivation and urbanicity
Objective Obesity and physical activity are associated with aspects of the physical environment where people live, but the precise mechanisms of these associations are not well understood. Knowledge of the extent to which access to opportunities for physical activity is socially patterned is important to inform policy. A few studies of cities and regions (mostly conducted outside the UK) have found fewer resources in deprived areas, while others …

Global distribution and trends of tropospheric ozone
Tropospheric ozone plays a major role in Earth’s atmospheric chemistry processes and also acts as an air pollutant and greenhouse gas. Due to its short lifetime, and dependence on sunlight and precursor emissions from natural and anthropogenic sources, tropospheric ozone’s abundance is highly variable in space and time on seasonal, interannual and decadal time-scales. Recent, and sometimes rapid, changes in observed ozone mixing ratios and ozone …

Effects of anthropogenic heat due to air-conditioning systems on an extreme high temperature event in Hong Kong
Anthropogenic heat flux is the heat generated by human activities in the urban canopy layer, which is considered the main contributor to the urban heat island (UHI). The UHI can in turn increase the use and energy consumption of air-conditioning systems. In this study, two effective methods for water-cooling air-conditioning systems in non-domestic areas, including the direct cooling system and central piped cooling towers (CPCTs), are physically…
Leveraging Geospatial Approaches to Characterize the HIV Prevention and Treatment Needs of Out-of-School Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Ethiopia
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) remain underserved and at risk for HIV acquisition in Ethiopia. However, there is significant risk heterogeneity among AGYW with limited consensus on optimal strategies of identifying vulnerable AGYW. This study assessed the utility of venue-based sampling approaches to identify AGYW at increased risk for HIV infection. Venue mapping and time-location-sampling (TLS) methods were used to recruit AGYW from th…
