This study used a cross-sectional, population-based telephone survey to investigate the demographic determinants of public engagement with microplastic pollution in Taiwan, revealing a significant social divide in microplastic-related environmental knowledge, awareness of microplastic …
Monitoring and evaluation strategies for surgical task-shifting and task-sharing interventions: A scoping review
BACKGROUND: Task shifting and task sharing (TS/S) redistribute responsibilities across cadres to expand access to healthcare, particularly in underserved areas. TS/S addresses workforce shortages and improves the availability of essential surgical procedures. The scope and geographical distribution of surgical TS/S programs are well documented, less is known about how TS/S initiatives are monitored and evaluated, especially with respect to traine…
Better adherence to the life's essential 8 can reduce the risk of gallstone disease: Mediated by inflammation and oxidative stress
Background This study aims to systematically investigate the association between the life's essential 8 (LE8) and gallstone disease (GSD), and further examine whether inflammation and oxidative stress mediate this relationship, so as to provide more scientific evidence for developing targeted preventive measures against GSD. Methods This is a cross-sectional study utilizing baseline survey data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC). Multivari…

The Impact of AI Identity on University Students’ Research Creativity and the Moderating Role of Ethical Dilemmas: An Ambidextrous Learning Perspective
Artificial intelligence has been effectively integrated into every stage of undergraduate research, significantly improving students’ learning efficiency. Against this backdrop, artificial intelligence is no longer merely an optional external tool, but has become an extension of college students’ personal capabilities—that is, “AI identity.” The study constructs a moderated dual-mediation model from the perspective of ambidextrous learning. Movin…

Cultural Lag, Consumer Literacy, and Coping in AI-Enabled Advertising: A Theoretical Explication and Managerial Solutions
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the advertising industry, yet important research gaps remain in understanding: (a) the cultural dimensions lagging behind AI-enabled advertising, particularly in ad creation and ad placement; (b) consumer literacy and sensemaking of AI-enabled advertising; and (c) how consumers cope with AI-enabled ads and what solutions they recommend. Our research aims to fill these gaps, guided by the culture lag th…
Into the black box: Laypeople's folk theories about generative artificial intelligence chatbots

The impact mechanism of physical activity levels on active aging among middle-aged and older adults: An age-period-cohort analysis from 2011 to 2018
With the adoption of active aging as a national strategy in China, physical activity has emerged as a vital factor in fostering active aging due to its practicality, feasibility, and accessibility. Serving as a key means for older adults to maintain meaningful engagement in later life, physical activity significantly enhances their well-being. However, most existing studies emphasize discursive analysis and experimental interventions, lacking com…
The dynamic impact of higher education on youth employment opportunities and quality: An empirical analysis based on age-period-cohort models
While higher education significantly enhances youth employment opportunities and job quality, its returns decline in the later stages across all three temporal dimensions and are increasingly constrained by credential inflation and labor market structural transformations. This underscores the urgency of aligning higher education with the evolving labor market and implementing targeted employment policies
Valuable yet costly: Exploring students’ perceived costs in physical education
Although physical education (PE) potentially fosters holistic development across physical, cognitive, affective, and social domains, its unique physical and social demands can render it valuable yet costly. These costs, however, remain underexplored, limiting our understanding of their effects on motivation and impeding efforts to design effective curricula and teaching strategies. Grounded in situated expectancy-value theory, this study investig…

Immigrants’ Enforcement Experiences and Concern about Accessing Public Benefits or Services
Although exclusionary immigration policies are associated with fear of deportation and avoidance of public benefits, relationships between immigration enforcement policy and public charge policies are largely unknown. Using a California population-based survey of 1103 Asian and Latinx immigrants in 2018, we tested the relationship between immigrants' experiences with law enforcement and their concern about public charge. Direct encounters with va…

Social exclusion at the intersections of immigration, employment, and healthcare policy: A qualitative study of Mexican and Chinese immigrants in California
While immigrants in the US suffer poor access to healthcare in general, access within immigrant populations varies notably by legal status and employment. Intersections between immigration, employment, and healthcare policy have shaped immigrants' access or exclusion from healthcare; however, little research has examined how immigrants experience and navigate these intersections. Drawing on social exclusion theory and the theory of bounded agency…
Cross-Cultural Researchers' Positionality in Immigrant Health Research: Reflections on Conducting Research on Chinese Immigrants' Experiences in the United States
While a growing body of research has examined immigrants' health generally, less is known specifically about the impact of immigration policy on the health of Chinese immigrants, the second-largest foreign-born population in the United States. This is due, in part, to the lack of methodologically well-trained, cross-cultural researchers who have both the cultural and linguistic expertise and health knowledge to engage with Chinese immigrant popul…

Reconstructing Diet of the Early Qin (ca. 700-400 BC) at Xishan, Gansu Province, China
Here we report the bone collagen carbon and nitrogen isotopic results of humans (n = 33) and animals (n = 58) to reconstruct the dietary practices of an early Qin population dating to the Zhou Dynasty (Late Western-Early Eastern period ca. 700-400 BC) at the Xishan site in Gansu Province, China. The humans have a very large range of δ13C (−23.3‰ to −7.1‰) and δ15N (4.3‰ to 10.9‰) values which reflects extraordinarily diverse diets and included in…

Chapter Thirteen. Liang Shuming And Max Weber On Chinese Culture
Liang Shuming thought that the structure of ancient Chinese society had two features. The main question that Liang Shuming wants to solve in his analysis of Chinese cultural history is that of the cultural and structural causes as to why Chinese history stagnated and did not advance and why it was not able to produce capitalism. An ethics-based society is unable to provide the 'mentality' and 'organisation' that is conducive to the conditions req…
