Global trends and career development of human resources for paediatrics
Large language models and child mortality
Background Reducing under-5 mortality remains a global health priority. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by the public to access medical information. However, current evidence evaluating LLMs’ performance in public-facing child health communication is scarce. Methods We selected the top five search terms related to each of the five leading causes of under-5 mortality (prematurity, pneumonia, birth asphyxia, malaria, and diarrhoe…
The Intergenerational Effects of Pension Receipt on Labour Mobility
China's ageing rural population presents a significant challenge to the country's development. This article uses data from the 2013, 2015 and 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study to examine how pension receipt of the elderly parents in rural China affects the labour mobility of their adult children. The estimation results from a fuzzy regression discontinuity design indicate that the pension receipt increases the labour mobility of…

Association between olfactory dysfunction and gustatory dysfunction
Background: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) and gustatory dysfunction (GD) are common among adults, with prevalence increasing significantly in older age groups. Both dysfunctions have negative effects on appetite, nutrition, social functioning and even environmental safety. OD and GD frequently coexist, indicating a possible close association between these conditions. At present, there is a lack of large-sample epidemiological studies on the relation…
Automatic Reconstruction of 3D Building Models from ALS Point Clouds Based on Façade Geometry
Three-dimensional (3D) building models are essential for urban planning, spatial analysis, and virtual simulations. However, most reconstruction methods based on Airborne LiDAR Scanning (ALS) rely primarily on rooftop information, often resulting in distorted footprints and the omission of façade semantics such as windows and doors. To address these limitations, this study proposes an automatic 3D building reconstruction method driven by façade g…

Teacher Reflexivity for Problematizing Gendered Discourses in ELT in China
The topic of gender equality has attracted significant attention in the field of English language teaching and applied linguistics. While there has been much discussion about the representation of gender in the curriculum content and teacher talk, the epistemic cognitive processes underpinning transformative teaching practices have received relatively little attention. This study utilizes the 3R‐EC (reflection, reflexivity, and resolved action fo…

Understanding teacher professional commitment from a positive psychology perspective
In response to the issue of Chinese language teacher attrition in Myanmar, this study aimed to examine the professional commitment of these teachers, with a focus on how their commitment is constructed and shaped within the local context. The study adopted a theoretical lens of positive psychology and utilized a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data was collected through semi‐structured interviews in which 10 participants shared their life …
EMI teachers’ agency in the context of international education in China
English medium instruction (EMI) has now become a ubiquitous education phenomenon due to the driving force of globalization and the prospective socioeconomic benefits associated with English proficiency. Although expanding rapidly in higher education, EMI in secondary education is a much less researched area. Specifically, EMI teachers’ agency in the implementation of EMI has remained relatively less known. This study, informed by an extended fra…
Coupling coordination analysis of urbanization and the ecological environment based on urban functional zones
Urbanization is an inevitable process in human social progress; additionally, the ecological environment is the carrier and foundation of human social development. Considering central Shanghai, China, as an example, this study quantitatively analyzed the coupling coordination relationship between urbanization and the ecological environment based on urban functional zones; remote sensing images, Open Street Map roads, and point of interest data we…
Revealing Schematic Map Designs with Preservation of Relativity in Node Position and Segment Length in Existing Official Maps
Schematic maps have widely been used for representing transport networks. In the schematization process, preserving the relative position of nodes and the relative length of segments are considered highly important for constructing spatial cognition. Some researchers have regarded these as general principles of automated schematization. However, in-depth investigations into the conversion of these general principles into specific schematic networ…
Influencing Pedestrians’ Route Choice Using Route Shape Simplification
Pedestrians’ route choice is critical for several purposes, while deliberately changing map representations can influence map users’ route choice. Simplifying routes’ geometric shapes is one way to achieve this. However, the other geometric characteristics of routes (e.g., the relative distance of different routes, differences in initial orientation, the number of intersections, and the direction changes) also influence pedestrians’ route choice,…
The effect of childbirth trauma on willingness to donate milk in women following perinatal loss
Limited studies have been conducted on Chinese women's willingness to donate milk following perinatal loss. In this study, we explore the relationship among childbirth trauma, willingness to donate milk, and resilience in women following perinatal loss, and the mediating effect of resilience between childbirth trauma and willingness to donate milk. A cross-sectional study was carried out throughout 4 months. We used convenience sampling methods a…
I have been dreaming about Chinese becoming the number one language in the world’
Along with China’s economic development and expanding cultural influence, the Chinese language has attracted an increasing number of learners in Myanmar, a culturally and linguistically diverse country. However, little is known about local Chinese teachers’ language ideologies toward the Chinese language and Chinese language education against the societal, economic, and cultural backdrop in and beyond Myanmar, which constitutes what this study is…
Using wǒmen (we) to mean s/he in Chinese parents’ interaction
Using the first-person plural pronoun wǒmen (we) to refer to a child (=he/she) is repeatedly observed in Chinese parents’ interaction. To understand its interpersonal meanings, this study investigates this non-prototypical pronoun use in Chinese parents’ community of practice. The analysis shows that the non-prototypical use of this pronoun not only displays agency and connection between parents and children but also reveals the seemingly close b…
Teaching English in the shadow
The global spread of private tutoring of English (PTE) has become a driving force of the global marketisation of English. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, this study explores how tutors in the PTE sector, an under-researched group of teachers, construct their professional identities in the market-oriented educational, institutional, and socioeconomic settings. Findings show that they have constructed a range of hybrid identities, that is, …

Localizing immersion education
Due to the growing status of English as the language of international communication, English immersion programs have been on the rise in China and the rest of the world. Though there has been much discussion on the theoretical and practical characteristics and features of immersion, current models are not adequate for explaining the language-driven English immersion programs in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context such as China. Drawin…
Representing culture in Chinese as a second language textbooks
This paper presents a comparative analysis investigating how cultural values are represented in two sets of widely used Chinese as a second language (CSL) textbooks published in mainland China (New Practical Chinese Reader, NPCR) and the US (Integrated Chinese, IC) respectively. Using an integrated critical social semiotic approach, we examined the image-text semiotic relations as well as their cultural meaning potentials in textbook content focu…
It Was Because I Could Speak English That I Got the Job”
The issue of neoliberalism has aroused sustained interest among English language teaching (ELT) and applied linguistic researchers who are politically minded. Neoliberalism is a dominant rationality with immense economic, political and ideological consequences in all aspects of social and institutional life in globalization, including foreign language education. This article presents a critical analysis of the neoliberal discourse on English lang…

Discourse and marketization of higher education in China
The issue of how market ethos has colonized the discourse of higher education around the world has been a topic of growing concern. The Chinese case deserves close scrutiny since marketization of higher education in China is contextualized in a distinct bureaucracy-market duality. In this article, I offer an investigation of a contemporary genre – ads for academic posts – by using Askehave and Swales’s (2001) text-driven re-purposing model of gen…

Essence or practice? Conflicting cultural values in Chinese EFL textbooks
While increasing attention is being paid to the ideological debate on Confucian-influenced cultural values communicated in Chinese language textbooks, EFL textbooks remain under-examined since the TEFL/TESOL is typically assumed to be ‘technical’ and ‘neutral’. Drawing on critical theoretical perspectives on curriculum, education and applied linguistics, I take the position that language textbooks need to be seen as social and cultural artifacts.…
