Compassion, Classification, Closure
India’s 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) made religion a criterion for expedited naturalization, granting a fast track to citizenship for non-Muslim migrants from three Muslim-majority countries while excluding Muslims. This article examines how such a law came to be normalized in public discourse. Analyzing 60 articles published between December 2019 and December 2024 in three influential English-language media outlets—The Times of India, Th…
Hydrological-hegemony and media narratives
Water disputes in transboundary river basins are shaped by material, institutional, and ideological power. This study examines the Indus River basin, shared by India and Pakistan and governed by the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, often hailed as a model for water diplomacy. Despite its stability, the treaty has facilitated India’s water governance dominance through the nation’s commandeering of infrastructure, use of legal ambiguities, and selective f…
The carbon emission reduction effect of green bond issuance
This paper examines green-bond issuance from two perspectives: the marketization of green finance and the application of government policies. Using Chinese provincial-level panel data (2007–2021), we apply a two-way fixed-effects model, a continuous difference-in-differences model, a mediation-effects framework, and Qualitative Comparative Analysis to systematically evaluate the carbon-reducing effect of green bond issuance and to test whether lo…

A novel composite hydrogel containing natural polysaccharides derived from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. for diabetic wound healing
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Diabetic wounds present significant clinical challenges owing to their impaired healing. It is evident that current therapeutic strategies are ineffective, underscoring the need for more efficient approaches. Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (AM) has been shown to exhibit hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, which make it a potential therapeutic agent for diabetic wounds. However, the bioact…
The effectiveness of technical-supported collaboration in promoting students’ learning outcomes
In the intelligent era, technology-supported collaboration has emerged as a vital educational approach, widely implemented in educational practice. However, the extent to which technology-supported collaboration enhances students’ learning outcomes remains uncertain. This paper employs meta-analysis methods to quantitatively analyze 48 empirical articles published over the past decade. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of technology-suppo…
The predictive effect of heterogeneous investor behavior on commodity pricing
This study examines how commodity financialization—marked by surging capital inflows and new financial instruments like ETFs—affects commodity pricing dynamics by analyzing inventory-linked convenience yield and investor behavior. Based on the extended theory of storage, using futures market data from 1994 to 2021, this paper examines the efficiency of the factor models in capturing financialization in commodity markets. Furthermore, Fama-MacBeth…

Will Bride Price Affect Household Savings
Does the increasing bride price affect household savings behaviour? This study investigates the relationship and the mechanism between the increase in the bride price and rural household savings behaviour using data from the China Labour-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS). The findings reveal that the bride price has a significant positive effect on rural household savings. Rooted in the traditional view of ‘raising a child to provide for the aged’, th…
Navigating double liminality
Reconnecting with roots, negotiating with institutions, and struggling with identities
This study investigates how China’s COVID-19 prevention policy during the pandemic affected the physical and mental well-being of Chinese students overseas returning home, and how their perceptions of ‘home’ were both challenged and reinforced through their interactions with China’s virus prevention and control measures. We first review the literature on the vulnerability of transnational students during the pandemic, with a focus on transnationa…
A Malicious Information Traceability Model Based on Neighborhood Similarity and Multiple Types of Interaction
The open and free nature of online platforms presents challenges for tracing malicious information. To address this, we propose a traceability model based on neighborhood similarity and multitype interaction. First, we propose neighborhood similarity algorithms (D-NTC) to address the universality of malicious information dissemination. This algorithm evaluates the impact of user node importance on malicious information propagation by combining no…
Deconstructing media narratives of the Indo-Pacific strategy
India’s attempt to forge a distinct role for itself in the global order started soon after independence in 1947. Since this watershed event, India’s policymakers have gradually recast their initial strategy of nonalignment, as they realized that Nehruvian “soft” power was not adequate for creating an especially dynamic presence in an increasingly volatile international environment. In response to this realization, India embarked on a journey of t…
Analysis of Three-Way Game of Straw Return System under the Green Transformation of Agriculture
Open burning of straw is the most significant problem of environmental pollution in rural areas. Returning straw to the fields is beneficial to rural environmental management and rural development. Comprehensive utilization of straw in the field not only reduces environmental pollution, but also benefits food production and farmers' income. Because planting farmers, enterprises, and local governments have different interests, it is difficult for …
Eurocentrism in a YouTube video on the Jakarta–Bandung railway
In this article, we examine the YouTube channel Railways Explained and its video on the Jakarta–Bandung High-Speed Railway (JBHSR). By stressing tensions among China, Indonesia, and Japan surrounding the JBHSR project, the video, we argue, managed to divert the audience’s attention away from its Eurocentric representation to a socially constructed Asian drama. Drawing upon Foucauldian poststructuralism, we then demonstrate how the Asian drama, na…

The Janus-Faced Clergy Crimes in the Judge Dee Mysteries
Robert Van Gulik, one of the twentieth century's most prominent sinologists and detective writers, has made significant contributions to the study of Chinese cultures but received inadequate scholarly appraisal until the twenty-first century. Although Van Gulik's Judge Dee mysteries have been well received informally among ordinary readers and scholars, little academic attention has been devoted to Judge Dee's trials of evil clergy due to their c…
The effect of an increase in federal minimum wage on the U.S. hotel industry
In accordance with the economic influences of an increase in minimum wage on labor markets, this study examines the effects of the federal-level minimum wage increase on U.S. hotel properties employing a difference-in-differences (DID) estimation method. We compared NYC which witnessed a federal minimum wage increase in 2009 to Washington, D.C which did not receive a wage increase in the same year. Findings showed that the newly enacted federal m…
The ideograph of Territorial Sovereignty
This study examines the use of the ideograph territorial sovereignty by the Times of India ( TOI; U.S./New Delhi editions) in its reports on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Using McGee's ( 1980 ) notion of ideograph and Entman’s ( 1993 ) framing theory, it uncovers a discursive strategy used by elite media for swaying public opinion regarding international and domestic information flow when promoting its preferred “Indian” understanding o…
Developing a Dynamic Supervision Mechanism to Improve Construction Safety Investment Supervision Efficiency in China
The construction industry suffers from poor safety performance caused by the joint effect of insufficient safety investment by contractors and inefficient safety supervision by the government because of the information gap between the two sides. The present study aims to put forward a new pathway to improve safety investment supervision efficiency and analyze the decision-making interactions of stakeholders under this new pathway. For this purpos…
Home-in-language
This study examines Tibetan migrants’ well-being by exploring their understanding of home and how they remake its meaning in the middle of a migration into intensive urbanization in China. We look at outmigration as a language-learning and -imposing process. Grounding Heidegger’s notion of home-in-language in Tibet and its people, this study found: (a) Tibetan language speaks of a geo-cultural home; (b) a shared language and language alienation b…
Xi Jinping's keynote in the Belt and Road Forum
In this essay, we utilize pentadic cartography to analyze Xi's keynote speech in the Belt and Road Forum in May 2017. Following the steps offered by Anderson and Prelli, we first identified the five pentadic terms in Xi's speech and then located two potential mappings with different featured ratios: agency-act in the first mapping and scene-agent in the second. Examining the two potential mappings of Xi's keynote, this paper argues that by constr…
The Design and Implementation of XiaoIce, an Empathetic Social Chatbot

China’s open letter
In this paper, we utilize a rhetorically grounded textual analysis to study the Open Letter, the first publicized text sent out from the Central government to all the Party and Communist Youth League members on 25 September 1980. By reading through the text, we identify three individual figures – the ‘people’ as ‘the origin of problems,’ the people as ‘reasonable and considerate,’ and those charged with advocating compliance as ‘active propagandi…

In late 1999, President Jiang Zemin requested that a comprehensive regional development campaign be designed and implemented to address growing disparities in income, development, and quality of life across three of China's macro-regions: eastern lowland China, central China, and western China. Through the resulting “Strategy of Developing China's West” Campaign, massive amounts of capital have been made available across the 12 provincial-order u…

Empathy through imaginative reconstruction
Existing scholarship in feminist geography has worked to significantly delineate the concept of positionality. In this article, we continue in this tradition by considering the context of transnational research where researchers need to actively negotiate the effects of colonialist discourses in both interpersonal relationships and discourse production. We argue that empathy through imaginative reconstruction provides an opportunity for an emotio…
