Anxiety or reflection? exploring profiles of death awareness among chinese nurses: A latent profile analysis
Our study suggests that nurses' death awareness can be categorized into three distinct profiles: Calm Reflectors, The Anxious, and Anxious Reflectors. Key predictors of these profiles include resilience, educational level, years of service, parental status, and read death education-related information. The findings suggest that enhancing resilience and targeted educational interventions are crucial for supporting nurses in managing death-related …

The Russia-Ukraine War in Chinese Social Media: LLM Analysis Yields a Bias Toward Neutrality
This study is a cross-platform analysis of the discourses surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war in Chinese social media. Making use of both manual as well as automated classification of discussion about the war, we found most significantly the mass amplification of Russian state positions on Weibo and the reframing of the war as being in the Chinese national self-interest on Douyin. We situate what we call cross-national amplification as well as the…
Wartok: Networked Soundscapes of Memetic Warfare
This panel investigates the networked soundscapes of memetic warfare on TikTok, a platform crucial in mediating the ongoing war in Ukraine since February 2022. Introduced to the public as a unique form of war programming during the first week of Russia's full-scale military invasion (Mobilio 2022), WarTok—a portmanteau of ‘TikTok’ and ‘war’—signifies "the war of super-empowered individuals armed only with smartphones" (Friedmann 2022). Producing …
The fungal feeding channel of the soil micro‐food web contributes to the transformation of exogenous C into soil C—A 13 C labelling microcosm experiment
Plant residue is an important carbon (C) source for soil communities that motivates underground C cycling. However, the effects of plant residue quantity on the structure of the soil micro‐food web and the transformation of exogenous C within the micro‐food web after increasing organic input are not known. Thus, a microcosm experiment was carried out to investigate the responses of soil micro‐food web (including microorganisms and nematodes) to d…

The lead trade associations of the bio-pharma and semiconductor industries have differed systematically in their roles in facilitating the development of innovation networks between Shanghai and Shenzhen, two prominent high-tech metropolises in China. Divergent associational roles stem from variations in the regional state policy regime that has exerted differential shaping influence on the structure of social cleavages and strength of reciprocit…
Understanding innovation policy governance: A disaggregated approach
This article presents a disaggregated approach to understanding innovation policy governance. It first develops a conceptual framework for differentiating innovation policy domains in terms of the complexity of governance problems and for describing governance approaches and outcomes. The article then advances a theoretical explanation of divergent governance patterns by granting causal primacy to the interplay between government structures and i…

Therefore, the aims of this study are (a) to understand the association between characteristics of suicide events and characteristics of who committed suicide, and event impact indexes (EIIs) of suicide reported on the internet; (b) to analyze violation of recommendations for reporting suicide by Weibo, and (c) to investigate the…
Effects of residue mulching amounts on metabolic footprints based on production and respiration of soil nematodes in a long‐term no‐tillage system
Residue mulching has been adopted to improve soil organic carbon and to prevent soil erosion and degradation, which in turn promote the sustainable development of soil ecosystems. Nematode metabolic footprints provide information about the responses of nematodes to resources and also help in quantifying the contributions of nematodes to ecosystem functions and services. However, how production and respiration components of nematode metabolic foot…
Exploring N fertilizer reduction and organic material addition practices: An examination of their alleviating effect on the nematode food web in cropland
Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization in croplands results in environmental problems, such as soil quality deterioration, water contamination, and biodiversity losses, which threaten the sustainable development of soil ecosystems. The soil nematode food web plays key roles in soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling, and thus the sustainable development of cropland ecosystems. However, how the negative impact from the excessive N fer…
State Structure, Societal Organisation, and Technology Policy: A Comparison of Three Asian Countries
While Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand have faced comparable innovation challenges over the past decades, they have responded to these challenges with divergent policy choices. More specifically, they have varied in the extent to which core technology policy instruments are integrated and state efforts to tackle innovation challenges are coupled with other socio-economic reforms and development strategies. To explain the variation, this article …
The Development of a BMI-Guided Shape Morphing Technique and the Effects of an Individualized Figure Rating Scale on Self-Perception of Body Size
The creation of personalized avatars that may be morphed to simulate realistic changes in body size is useful when studying self-perception of body size. One drawback is that these methods are resource intensive compared to rating scales that rely upon generalized drawings. Little is known about how body perception ratings compare across different methods, particularly across differing levels of personalized detail in visualizations. This knowled…

Spatial-Temporal NDVI Variation of Different Alpine Grassland Classes and Groups in Northern Tibet from 2000 to 2013
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can usually be used as a good proxy for evaluating potential variability in regional ecosystems and under climate change. We used 16-day MODIS-NDVI composite satellite data with 250-m resolution for the period 2000 to 2013 to assess the temporal and spatial variation of the NDVI among different alpine grassland classes and groups in northern Tibet. The annual average NDVI of the whole alpine grass…
Coalitional Dynamics, Power Structure and Financial Markets in East Asia
The main argument to be developed in this article posits that fundamental changes and variations in the financial market structure of East Asian economies have been predicated on the emergence and configuration of the dominant coalitions. The coalitions have been forged by private market agents, economic policymakers and political elites who have developed particular interests in financial market changes as a response to economic and political im…

Between Decisiveness and Credibility: Transforming the Securities Industry in Singapore and Thailand
This article suggests a political party-centred explanation of economic policy reforms that differs significantly from the standard theoretical models that emphasise social coalitions, government systems, regime types or electoral cycles. The explanatory approach advanced here focuses on inter-party and intra-party organisational dimensions within an integrated analytical framework as the major determinants of both the decisiveness of policy refo…
From banks to markets: Malaysian and Taiwanese finance in transition
The past two decades have witnessed the exponential growth of stock markets and the significant market orientation of financial systems in Malaysia and Taiwan. These changes were well underway prior to the Asian crisis of 1997–98 but have been consolidated and accelerated by post-crisis reforms that have further institutionalized market-oriented practices. However, the changing patterns of financial markets have not preordained convergence toward…

Setting the rules: Private Power, Political Underpinnings, and Legitimacy in Global Monetary and Financial Governance
The role of private market agents in global monetary and financial governance has increased as globalization has proceeded. This shift in both markets and patterns of governance has often been encouraged by states themselves in pursuit of liberalization policies. Much of the literature views these developments in a positive light, yet there are other aspects of these developments that also merit attention. This article supports its central propos…

The Changing Politics of Central Banking in Taiwan and Thailand
In recent decades the central banks in Taiwan and Thailan - the Central Bank of China and the Bank of Thailand - have experienced contrasting changes in their respective status within the hierarchy of state economic institutions. While Taiwanese central bankers have been largely able to maintain their policy-making independence, their Thai counterparts have failed to do so. The major analytical objective of this article is to explain the cross-na…
Financial Market Governance in Developing Countries: Getting Political Underpinnings Right
This article presents a critique of the prevailing IMF/World Bank paradigm for financial market governance in developing countries that converges on the restrained role for the state, the neoliberal emphasis on self-governance, and the pursuit of market efficiency. It argues that the largely positive terms in which the governance discourse is couched have obfuscated the political dimensions that underlie the limitations of current efforts to impr…
