Active vs. sham pulsed electromagnetic field therapy added to standardized conservative care for partial-thickness supraspinatus tears
Background Partial-thickness supraspinatus tears commonly cause shoulder pain and functional limitation. Although conservative treatment can improve symptoms, whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy provides additional clinically meaningful benefit remains uncertain. Existing PEMF evidence is mainly derived from rotator cuff tendinopathy or subacromial impingement populations, whereas sham-controlled evidence in MRI-confirmed partial-…
Modality Matters
Chinese language practice, especially handwriting and typewriting practice, has always been a key method for mastering Chinese in Chinese L2 learning. However, current research on blended practice modalities that combine handwriting and typewriting remains insufficient. This study used a pilot study with 30 international students to compare the associative patterns of handwriting practice and blended practice (a sequential multimodal practice whe…
Exploring Latent Profiles of Metacognition and Their Impact on Computational Thinking and Mathematical Modeling Competency in High School Students
As the capacity to monitor and regulate one’s own cognitive processes, metacognition is considered pivotal for mathematics learning and the development of higher-order thinking skills. However, research from a person-centered perspective remains limited regarding individual differences in metacognition and their associations with mathematics-related abilities. To address this gap, the present study surveyed 512 high school students and employed L…

Towards Adaptive Personalized Federated Meta-Learning Recommendation
Federated recommendation systems aim to provide high-quality recommendations while protecting user privacy. However, existing federated recommendation algorithms typically use a unified item embedding framework, where all clients share the same item representations. Such approaches often fail to capture users’ personalized perceptions of the same item and struggle to reflect subtle changes in user preferences, limiting the effectiveness of person…
Data-driven closed-loop health education
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) imposes a substantial global health burden, yet conventional management often fails to sustain patient engagement or deliver personalized education. Digital technologies now enable continuous, multidimensional data collection, creating an opportunity to transition from standardized care to dynamic, tailored health support. This perspective article proposes a data-driven “assessment–intervention–feedbac…

AI as a Coach in Negotiations
Artificial intelligence promises to reshape negotiation education, not by replacing human judgment but by augmenting it. While research on automated coaching varies on many dimensions, a salient axis is temporal—whether the coaching occurs before, during, or after the negotiation of a focal deal. This temporal taxonomy also serves to elucidate differences between the projects presented at the AI Negotiation Summit in March 2025. These projects dr…

To give or not to give? The influence of relative status and tie strength on feedback giving
Feedback giving is important for individual performance and creativity. However, obtaining high‐quality feedback can be challenging. We argue that considering feedback giving from a relationship perspective can help clarify this phenomenon. In this research, based on social exchange theory, we investigated how the social relationships between feedback seekers and feedback providers influence feedback giving. Through a recall‐based experiment, a s…
An Embedded Unlabeled Data Partitioning PU-Learning Method Based on Genetic Programming
In traditional binary classification tasks, learning algorithms conventionally distinguish positive and negative samples by leveraging fully labeled training data. However, in practical applications, there frequently arises a scenario where only a small number of positive samples and a large volume of unlabeled data exist, with the latter potentially containing a mix of positive and negative instances. This situation is known as positive-unlabele…

Ranking World Cities
World-city literature often relies on a priori assumptions rather than quantifiable measures to discern the global urban hierarchy. In search of comparable international indicators, many studies use the corporate headquarters of multinational corporations (MNCs) as primary locational data. Recognizing that MNCs play a dominant role in the global economy, we argue that reliance on headquarters locations alone distorts the contours of the urban hie…
Urban China through the lens of neoliberalism
Neoliberalism as a hegemonic global ideology and framework of governance has been the subject of extensive critical analyses in geography and urban studies. Despite the conceptual difficulties involved, a growing number of scholars have attempted to apply this critical discourse to China. In this commentary, we critically interrogate the urban China literature that deploys the neoliberal lens, mostly authored by scholars outside China, and we rai…
Regrounding the 'Ungrounded Empires
The emerging literature on transnationalism has reshaped the study of immigration in the USA from 'melting pot' and later 'salad bowl', to 'switching board', which emphasizes the ability of migrants to forge and maintain ties to their home countries. Often under the heading of 'transnationalism from below', these studies highlight an alternative form of globalization, in which migrants act as active agents to initiate and structure global interac…
An Innovative Region in China
The literature on innovative regions has stressed the role of spatial clustering in the endogenous formation, accumulation, and sharing of knowledge in technology hubs in advanced countries. Little has been written, however, on how spatial clusters may also affect technological dynamics in developing countries where external actors, such as multinational corporations (MNCs), are the main source of new technology. Drawing on studies of innovative …

Chinese-American Banking and Community Development in Los Angeles County
Given the rapid increase of immigrant populations and ethnic communities in the U.S., it is surprising that so little attention has been paid to the role of ethnically owned banks in community development. Analyses of banking usually focus on developments such as mergers and consolidations within the mainstream financial sector. The academic literature on financial geography and the ethnic economy has established that the discriminatory and exclu…
The fall of “the other half of the sky”? chinese immigrant women in the new york area
Beyond Ethnic Enclaves
Ethnic enclaves are often not only the main residential areas for ethnic populations but also the prime locations for their businesses. As more and more ethnic enterprises locate outside such enclaves, the spatial pattern of ethnic business becomes more complex. To understand the spatial pattern of ethnic business, I argue that we need to go beyond treating "ethnic" as the only adjective. Drawing from the literature on industrial networks and ter…

Divergent engagements
Professionals and entrepreneurs returning to developing countries from developed countries play key roles in the technological 'catch-up' of their home countries, but they are rarely well-conceptualized by the theories of globalization. This is especially the case in Asia. The American-trained Chinese engineers who returned to Taiwan were instrumental in creating Taiwan's excellent semiconductor industry during the 1980s and 1990s. In a similar v…
