Power behind the seams
This article investigates the organisation of the labour process among precariously employed female workers in the garment industry. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork in seven export-oriented garment factories in China, this article examines how gender relations become consequential for labour control. It argues that factories do not simply reproduce existing gender divisions. Rather, gender relations shaped through social reproduction are reorgan…
Communicating cultural memory
How do regional grassroots deities survive in diasporic contexts? Examining the Teochew Xuantian Shangdi cult in Thailand through multisited ethnography, this article argues that diasporic faith is sustained by a “governance anchor” managed by local temple elites. This framework balances orthodox preservation and local integration via two microinstitutional mechanisms: the hierarchical governance of memory carriers (using spatial and textual boun…
Unravelling dynamic trajectories of epistemic emotions in a technology‐enhanced problem‐solving task
BACKGROUND: Scholars have reached a consensus on the influential roles and dynamic characteristics of epistemic emotions during the problem-solving process; however, few research provided empirical evidence to reveal the temporal progression of these emotions. AIMS: This study leverages multimodal data-self-reports and physiological sensors-to examine variations in a focal epistemic emotion across learning phases and performance levels and to unc…
The relationship between quality of sports friendships and mental health in Chinese junior high school students
(1) The quality of sports friendships can positively predict mental health, sport motivation, and exercise adherence. (2) The quality of sports friendships not only directly predicts mental health but also indirectly affects mental health through the mediating roles of sport motivation and exercise adherence, as well as the bidirectional chain mediation between the two. This further explains how the quality of sports friendships impacts the menta…

Cartographic imaginaries of the Covid-19 crisis in Mexico – a typology of disease maps
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the news reports on it have been accompanied by maps. Similarly to weather maps, they became part of our daily news feed. The newspapers' maps reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic often use the same or similar data to depict the current state of the spread within a national territory. However, the designs of the maps vary between different news outlets. These differences were analysed using the document…
Geochemical evidence for the manufacture, logistics and supply‐chain management of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Army, China
Non‐invasive materials characterisation of reconstructed statues of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Army has revealed distinct micro‐geochemical patterning within the clay paste used in their manufacture. The significance of this is explored in terms of the production sequence, logistics and supply‐chain management involved in the construction of this enormous funerary assemblage. Of particular interest is a compositional distinction between fi…
Genome-wide association study identifies 48 common genetic variants associated with handedness
Handedness has been extensively studied because of its relationship with language and the over-representation of left-handers in some neurodevelopmental disorders. Using data from the UK Biobank, 23andMe and the International Handedness Consortium, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of handedness (N = 1,766,671). We found 41 loci associated (P < 5 × 10−8) with left-handedness and 7 associated with ambidexterity. Tissue-enrichmen…
Urban-rural nitrogen emission from household food consumption in China
The nitrogen emission from household food consumption (NEHFC) has played a vital role in sustainability development. Recent changes in household dietary have significantly accelerated reactive nitrogen emissions in China. However, the spatial patterns and dynamics of these flows between urban and rural areas remain unclear. Based on material flow and spatial-temporal analysis, our study investigated the patterns of Chinese urban-rural NEHFC durin…
Changes in rainfed and irrigated crop yield response to climate in the western US
As the global population increases and the climate changes, ensuring a secure food supply is increasingly important. One strategy is irrigation, which allows for crops to be grown outside their optimal climate growing regions and which buffers against climate variability. Although irrigation is a positive climate adaptation mechanism for agriculture, it has a potentially negative effect on water resources as it can lead to groundwater depletion a…
The influence of different sex ratios and resource-gaining capability on male's mating selection
摘要: 本研究分别采用文字启动和图片启动两种方式, 探讨不同性别比下男性择偶标准的动态变化。实验1和实验2的结果均显示:相比于男多女少启动, 在女多男少启动下, 男性对女性“好资源”的要求会明显升高。不同性别比启动和男性资源获取能力(而不是童年经济状况)在男性择偶标准上存在着交互效应。相比于男多女少启动, 资源获取能力强的男性在女多男少启动下对女性好资源的要求会明显提高, 而资源获取能力弱的男性在两种启动下对女性好资源的要求没有显著变化。结论:对资源获取能力强的男性而言, 对女性“好资源”的偏好是择偶选择过多时所产生的奢侈需求
Astragalus Mongholicus Regulate the Toll-Like-Receptor 4 Meditated Signal Transduction of Dendritic Cells to Restrain Stomach Cancer Cells
