Chinese Diaspora-Settler Gazes on Rednote: How Platforms Reinforce Colonial, Relational-feminist, and Middle-class Representations
This paper studies how contemporary Chinese diasporic settlers represent their experiences of Australia on Rednote (Xiaohongshu), a visually oriented social media platform with a predominantly young, female user base. Analysis of 248 Rednote posts by Chinese migrants in Australia reveals recurring portrayals of Australia as an empty land of leisure, a site of Chinese female liberation, and a space of upward mobility, framed through colonial imagi…

Comprehensive epidemiological assessment of global opioid use disorders over the past three decades
Global burden of opioid use disorders (OUD) has risen substantially, posing major socioeconomic challenges. Cross-spatiotemporal disease burden comparison using data sourced from Global Burden of Disease 2021. We comprehensively assessed OUD’s epidemiological burden using multiple metrics and the socio-demographic index (SDI), estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs), and integrated estimates through Bayesian meta-regression. Disability-adjust…

How “diagnostic” criteria interact to shape synesthetic behavior: The role of self-report and test–retest consistency in synesthesia research
The optimal consistency cutoff score is context-dependent (differs across language). • Self-report alone is sufficient to distinguish synesthetes from non-synesthetes. • Inconsistent self-reported synesthetes behave like synesthetes on two tasks. • Consistency values and synesthesia interact on the Synesthetic Stroop effect. • Consistency values and synesthesia exert independent influences on the Synesthetic Palette. In the past few decades, rese…
Figurations of Mentorship for Cultural Work
As cultural work becomes increasingly precarious and digitally mediatized, we ask how mentorship can continue to play a crucial role in shaping how the know-how of cultural work is organized and shared. Drawing on a case study of a mentorship program for cultural work taking place in Greater Vancouver, Canada, we propose conceptualizing mentorship as a figuration, which we describe by tracing three interdependent threads: a constellation of actor…
Mothers and grandmothers: Rethinking motherhood in the context of intergenerational caregiving
ObjectiveThis study examines how the intergenerational caregiving exchanges from grandmother (maternal and paternal) to mother influence early motherhood experiences and childcare practices.BackgroundMotherhood scholarship often neglects the influence of grandmothers on how women mother, or when acknowledging caregivers like grandmothers often fails to consider the potentially ambivalent ways grandmother caregiving affects mothers. Research on in…
The relationship between intimate partner violence and child malnutrition: A retrospective study in 29 sub-Saharan African countries
Introduction and background Intimate partner violence (IPV) and child malnutrition are global public health issues. Assessing the association between IPV and child anthropometric failures (stunting, underweight, and wasting) in 29 Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries can provide significant global health solutions. Some studies have found an association between IPV against women and child malnutrition, but the conclusions are inconsistent. The phy…

Palatalization in Laomian: Evolution and resistance
Palatalization is a common phenomenon in the Laomian language of South-east Asia. This paper compares the phonetic bilabial, velar, and coronal consonants of Laomian and their counterparts in related languages. A phonological analysis of the evolution of palatalization in Laomian is provided from a feature geometry perspective using the frameworks of nonlinear phonology and Optimality Theory. The results show that bilabials in Laomian, like those…
Mobile Media During the Pandemic: Four Scenarios to Help Us Imagine a Mobile Media Future Towards Liberation
Together, our projects pose the question of what else can be possible as a way to rearrange the power relations that have contributed to the asymmetric flows of information and resources to some instead of others. We are inspired by indigenous scholars’ claim that “decolonization is not a metaphor” because liberation should not be a metaphor: it should be a possibility. We, panelists, hope to engage conversations that address the future of the in…
Subseasonal reversals of winter surface air temperature in mid-latitude Asia and the roles of westward-shift NAO
Reversals of surface air temperature anomalies over mid-latitude Asia (SAT MA ) have become more frequent. Six winters have been reversed over the last decade, which had serious negative consequences for agricultural production, ecological systems, and human health. This subseasonal reversal can be observed in the second mode of season-reliant empirical orthogonal function analysis, showing a persistent opposite anomaly between early and late win…

Be the mother, not the daughter: Immigrant Chinese women, postpartum care knowledge, and mothering autonomy
Scholars have documented the transformation of modern motherhood, as mothering practices have been a target of medical knowledge that comes to define correct modes of conduct for women caring for their pregnant bodies, undergoing childbirth and childrearing. Such accounts usually set scientific knowledge and medical authority in opposition to women's autonomy. Drawing on the interviews with immigrant Chinese mothers in Canada, we offer a differen…

(Im)mobility and performance of emotions: Chinese international students’ difficult journeys to home during the Covid-19 pandemic
This article examines mediated performances of emotions by Chinese international students in their transnational journeys returning to China during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on the role of mobile media in helping students cope with their cross-border (im)mobility and symbolic immobility. By thematically analyzing 36 self-representational videos produced by returning Chinese students on a burgeoning mobile media platform Douyin, we identi…
Record-breaking cold waves in east of China enhanced by the ‘Warm Arctic-Cold Siberia’ pattern
Extreme cold waves frequently occur in east of China that dramatically endanger ecological agriculture, power infrastructure and human life. In this study, we found that the ‘Warm Arctic-Cold Siberia’ pattern (WACS) significantly enhanced cold waves in east of China according to daily composites from 1979 to 2018. During the winter 2020/21, a record-breaking cold wave broke out following a noticeable WACS phenomenon and induced the record-low sur…

Urban Regeneration With Community Building: Dashilanr Microregeneration Handbook
In recent years, in the context of the transition from urban construction to inventory development, landscape architects have begun to explore an urban micro-regeneration mode with gradual, small-scale interventions based on community building. Through the lens of Landscape Architecture, the project elaborated in this article focuses on everyday landscape, explores strategies for improving urban spatial quality in public space, and discusses the …
