The Uses and Abuses of the Anti-Colonial in Global Reactionary Politics
Drawing on a range of regional expertise and perspectives from international relations, political economy, political theory, and sociology, this collective discussion makes the following contributions to research on global reactionary politics and discussions of decolonization. First, we argue that the erosion of the legitimacy of liberal orders renders the anti-colonial language available for authoritarian and conservative projects in both the G…
Electroconvulsive therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder: Clinical efficacy and predictive role of inflammatory markers
ECT is clinically effective for OCD, seizure duration was significantly associated with treatment outcomes. Although baseline NMR was not statistically significant in multivariate analysis, it holds potential predictive value, possibly limited by sample size and study design. Future larger-scale, prospective studies are warranted
Clinical predictors of short-term treatment response in stupor: A retrospective study
A higher chlorpromazine-equivalent dose and olanzapine use were associated with short-term therapeutic response in stupor, independent of ECT. ROC analysis suggested a data-driven, exploratory cut-off of approximately 108 mg (about 100-110 mg) chlorpromazine-equivalent, which should not be interpreted as a prescriptive clinical threshold. However, these findings are preliminary, limited to two-week outcomes in a modest retrospective sample. The r…
The Tyranny of Meritocratic Nationalism: Unpacking the Online Backlash Against a Tibetan Cyberstar
This article develops the concept of meritocratic nationalism to unpack the online backlash surrounding the rise to fame of a Tibetan cyberstar, Tenzing Tsondu (Ding Zhen), on Chinese social media. Meritocratic nationalism not only embeds ideals of individual achievement, education attainment, and productivity within narratives of national identity and regime legitimacy, but also sustains structural inequalities through racialized and gendered as…
(Un)Civilizing the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Competing Narratives of Civilization, “Coloniality,” and Transversal Alignment
Scholarship on “non-Western” civilizational discourse in international relations remains largely limited to the versions crafted or endorsed by the state. This paper takes the representation of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony on Chinese social media as an entry point to exploring vernacular and competing narratives of civilization in global cultural politics. Drawing on data from multiple platforms, I scrutinize visions of civilizational prog…

Language learning is about who you Know’: A network approach to multilingual investment
Race, gender, and Occidentalism in global reactionary discourses
This article seeks to deepen understanding of the global politics of reactionary discursive formations, which at the current conjuncture increasingly coalesce around self-victimising articulations of racial nationalism and a rejection of social justice struggles, often delegitimated as ‘elitist’ in Western core contexts or ‘Western’ in postcolonial spaces. Drawing on insights from feminist and postcolonial scholarship on racial entanglements, mas…

Borders, bordering and sovereignty in digital space
The production of digital borders and the development of digital sovereignty have effects that are felt within the bordered digital spaces and outside of them. Digital borders are not just national borders, and the effects of digital borders can be analysed at a multitude of geographical scales, from the regional to the neighbourhood, and from the national territory to the bordered and bounded instant messaging group. The contributions to this sp…
Postcolonial nationalism and the global right
How can postcolonial critique address the use and abuse of the anti-colonial in contemporary reactionary and ultranationalist projects in the Global Easts and South? Building on the literature on amalgams of authoritarianism, social conservatism, and racial nationalism beyond the Western core, especially the emergent scholarship on the rise of the digital far right, I reflect on the ways in which postcolonial critique can help us think about the …
Untargeted metabolomics of pulmonary tuberculosis patient serum reveals potential prognostic markers of both latent infection and outcome
Currently, there are no particularly effective biomarkers to distinguish between latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and evaluate the outcome of TB treatment. In this study, we have characterized the changes in the serum metabolic profiles caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and standard anti-TB treatment with isoniazid–rifampin–pyrazinamide–ethambutol (HRZE) using GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. Seve…
The modulation of mRNA levels of Maoa by electroacupuncture and psychotherapy in patients with pathological internet use
The present study showed that electroacupuncture and psychological intervention can improve severity of Internet addiction, mental status, sleep quality and impulsive trait of PIU patients. Simultaneously, neurobiological changes may be the underlying mechanisms of psychotherapy for internet additcion
Contested disaster nationalism in the digital age: Emotional registers and geopolitical imaginaries in Covid-19 narratives on Chinese social media
This article examines how affective narratives of the COVID-19 pandemic on Chinese social media reinforce and challenge established scripts of national identity, political legitimacy, and international geopolitical imaginary. Taking theoretical insights from the scholarship on trauma, disaster nationalism, and politics of emotions, I structure the analysis of social media posts from state media and private accounts around three emotional register…

Leaf litter lignin degradation in response to understory vegetation removal in a Masson pine plantation
Understory vegetation changes, caused by forestry management, can alter the litter species composition and microclimate in situ, which while profoundly influence litter lignin degradation processes, is seldom investigated. To reveal the effects of these changes, understory vegetation in plots was treated as follows: no understory vegetation removal; only shrub removal; only herb removal; and, both shrub and herb removal. Single‐ and mixed‐species…
MRNA Levels of Maoa and 5-HT2A Receptor in Patients With Pathological Internet Use: Correlations With Comorbid Symptoms
Objective: Uncontrolled internet use may lead to the emergence of pathological internet use (PIU). PIU has become a global public health concern that can cause a range of psychotic symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and impulse control disorder. To date, we know very little about the principal biological factors related to PIU. Monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) and serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT 2A receptor (5-HT 2A R) play critical roles in the devel…
Covid-19 in China: From ‘Chernobyl Moment’ to Impetus for Nationalism
When Dr Li Wenliang died from Covid-19 on 7 February, the Chinese Internet saw an unprecedented outpouring of grief and anger. The universal mourning for the reprimanded doctor, who had warned his colleagues about a potentially infectious coronavirus in late December and had been silenced by authorities, was also an expression of the public anxiety [...]
Right-wing populism with Chinese characteristics? Identity, otherness and global imaginaries in debating world politics online
The past few years have seen an emerging discourse on Chinese social media that combines the claims, vocabulary and style of right-wing populisms in Europe and North America with previous forms of nationalism and racism in Chinese cyberspace. In other words, it provokes a similar hostility towards immigrants, Muslims, feminism, the so-called ‘liberal elites’ and progressive values in general. This article examines how, in debating global politica…
Mobile Borders and Turbulent Mobilities: Mapping the Geopolitics of the Channel Tunnel
This article investigates the making and contestation of mobile borders around the Channel Tunnel, the fixed link connecting Britain and the European continent. It suggests that the bordering of the infrastructural and vehicular spaces is both an object of inquiry in its own right and a productive lens for reflecting on questions related to European Union (EU) territory, the heterogeneous nature of borders as well as the interplay between regimes…
Governing neoliberal authoritarian citizenship: Theorizinghukouand the changing mobility regime in China
Drawing on insights from critical citizenship studies and governmentality studies, this article explores and theorizes the changing mobility regime in China and its centerpiece, the household registration (hukou) system, from a global comparative perspective. First, we conceptualize the hukou system within the broader problematique of the spatiality of social citizenship and show how it enables processes of boundary-making that are comparable to …
The effect of music training on unimanual and bimanual responses
Music cognition is closely related with some types of nonmusical cognition. Music training improves musical cognitive abilities, and also influences nonmusical abilities, especially motor skills. Through simple tapping tasks using visual stimuli, we explored whether music training had an effect on unimanual and bimanual responses and whether there were differences in bimanual synchrony between different types of musicians (pianists and singers) a…
Industrial citizenship, cosmopolitanism and European integration
There has been an explosion of interest in the idea of European Union citizenship in recent years, as a defining example of postnational cosmopolitan citizenship potentially replacing or layered on top of national citizenship. We argue this form of EU citizenship undermines industrial citizenship, which is a crucial support for social solidarity on which other types of citizenship are based. Because industrial citizenship arises from collectiviti…

Situated Interpretations of Nationalism, Imperialism, and Cosmopolitanism: Revisiting the Writings ofLiang in the Encounter Between Worlds
The idea of the nation has been considered to have delivered political modernity from its nativeEurope to the rest of the world. The same applies, though more implicitly, to those paradoxes inherent to the nationalist ideology - that between universalism and national particularity and that between liberal nationalism and imperialism. This article seeks to complicate these theses by looking at the interpretations of nationalism, imperialism, and c…
The Impact of Rumination and Stressful Life Events on Depressive Symptoms in High School Students: A Multi-Wave Longitudinal Study
摘要: 探讨沉思及沉思亚型与应激性生活事件的交互作用对抑郁症状的影响。采用流调中心用抑郁量表、青少年生活事件问卷和沉思反应量表等自评量表对527名高中生的抑郁症状、应激性生活事件和沉思进行评估, 随后每3个月测评一次抑郁症状和应激性生活事件的发生情况, 追踪调查1年, 用多层线性模型分析数据。结果表明:沉思和强迫性冥思对抑郁症状的主效应显著, 而反思不显著; 沉思、强迫性冥思和反思与生活事件对抑郁症状的交互作用均不显著。结论:应激性生活事件和强迫性冥思会加重抑郁症状, 而反思没有加重抑郁症状; 沉思及亚型均不会改变应激性生活事件对抑郁症状的影响程度
