A Robust Aggregation of Federated Large Language Models for Multimodal Knowledge Discovery in Computational Social Systems
Amid a rapidly evolving information era, large-scale multimodal knowledge discovery in computational social systems emerges as a key research domain. Large language models (LLMs) play a crucial role in this field, providing contextual understanding and task adaptability. Yet, centralized training of LLM raises privacy concerns. Federated learning (FL) offers a distributed alternative, but it struggles with data heterogeneity and security issues r…
Impact of the Triglyceride–Glucose index on all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities across different metabolic health and obesity statuses in US adults
The TyG index is positively correlated with mortality risk in the overall and metabolically unhealthy populations but not in the metabolically healthy populations. This finding indicates that the predictive value of the TyG index for mortality differs across populations, highlighting the necessity of accounting for metabolic status when the TyG index is used for prognostic evaluation

The Interaction Mechanism of Fiscal Pressure, Local Government Behavioral Preferences and Environmental Governance Efficiency
In environmental governance, local governments are the main actors, and their behavioral preferences between economic growth competition (EGC) and environmental regulation (ER) affect the inputs and outputs of environmental governance. Most studies discuss the relationship between government behaviors and the environment from the fiscal decentralization perspective, with few studies from the fiscal pressure (FP) perspective. Importantly, the bidi…
Multiscale Characteristics and Drivers of the Bundles of Ecosystem Service Budgets in the Su-Xi-Chang Region, China
Managing ecosystem services (ESs) to meet human needs is critical to achieving sustainable development in rapidly urbanizing regions. Identifying ES budget bundles and analyzing their drivers at a multiscale level can facilitate management decision-making; however, further research is required in areas undergoing rapid urbanization. This study quantified the supply, demand, and budgets of six typical ESs at the county, township, and village scale…
Rights‐based accountability in aged care organisations
Addressing the urgent need for aged care providers in Australia to enhance their accountability, this study examines whether and how downward accountability (to clients) and lateral accountability (to employees) in aged care organisations are affected by beliefs and boundary controls exercised by the organisations’ management. Analyses were performed on survey data collected from 228 not‐for‐profit aged care providers across Australia. The analys…
The Transnational Cult of Mount Wutai
The Transnational Cult of Mount Wutai explores the pan-East Asian significance of sacred Mount Wutai from the Northern Dynasties to the present day. Offering novel readings of comparatively familiar visual and textual sources and, in many cases, examining unstudied or understudied noncanonical materials, the papers collected here illuminate the roles that both local actors and individuals dwelling far beyond Mount Wutai’s borders have played in i…
Monastic learning and private education
Monastic learning shows the feature of openness, inclusiveness and fluidity. Its diverse curriculum included not only Buddhist learning, but also the studies of languages, logics, medicine and pharmacy as well as secular knowledge such as various craftsmanship. Monasteries everywhere naturally became the optimal place for storing all sorts of knowledge and for facilitating the exchange between the secular and sacred knowledge, and for promoting t…
Governing collaborations
Inter-organizational partnerships are known to encounter various tensions, including efficiency versus inclusiveness, internal versus external legitimacy, flexibility versus stability, and accountability versus autonomy. This study examines how a pioneering settlement services partnership in Australia, made up of 23 not-for-profit organizations, addresses these tensions. Using a case study method, it was found that the partnership adopted a hybri…

Chinese Buddhist Canons in the Age of Printing
A History of Chinese Buddhist Faith and Life
The goal of this book is to study the ways in which Chinese Buddhists expressed their religious faiths and how Chinese Buddhists interacted with society at large since the Northern and Southern dynasties (386-589), through the Ming (1368-1644) and the Qing (1644-1911), up to the Republican era (1912-1949). The book aims to summarize and present the historical trajectory of the Sinification of Buddhism in a new light, revealing the symbiotic relat…
The effect of stakeholder culture on managers’ perceptions of stakeholder attributes in Australian not‐for‐profit organizations
We examine the relation between stakeholder culture and managers’ perceptions of stakeholder attributes of power, legitimacy, and urgency in Australian not‐for‐profit (NFP) organizations. Examination of this relation is important because managers’ perceptions of stakeholder attributes determine how stakeholder relationships are managed, which affects (positively or negatively) the ability of NFP organizations to fulfil their social mission. Data …
A chemical ‘explosion’ triggered by an encounter between Indian and Chinese medical sciences
Chinese and Indian medical tradition, each had its own merits and their exchange dated back to ancient times and lasted over centuries. And their encounters often produced unexpected fruitful outcomes. This article discusses such an encounter through the life of the Southeast Asian monk Sākyamitra. The case of Sākyamitra reminds us that the exchange between China and India did not take place only in the domain of the religion —and certainly not o…
Who and What Really Count? An Examination of Stakeholder Salience in Not‐for‐Profit Service Delivery Organizations
Motivated by the importance of understanding how managers of not‐for‐profit organizations (NFPs) in Australia perceive and prioritize their stakeholders, this study tests and applies Mitchell et al.’s (1997) stakeholder salience framework, enhanced by Neville et al.’s (2011) developments to the framework, in the not‐for‐profit context. The study examines the salience of six key stakeholder groups in NFPs, as perceived by top management, and the r…
The ‘biography’ of a Buddha image
This study investigates a sacred site centering on a stone image in southeastern China. With a focus on the ways in which legends and local histories represent the perceived sacrality of this sacred space, it aims to throw new light on the formation and transformation of the cult of the Shicheng image. Through a critical and comparative study of some of the fundamental legendary and semi-legendary components that constitute the complicated lore o…
Zibo Zhenke 紫柏真可 (1543–1603) and the late Ming restoration of Yunju temple 雲居寺
This article studies certain aspects of the complicated process of making and remaking a key Buddhist sacred site in present-day Beijing, Fangshan. It brings to the fore several fundamental elements, both religious and non-religious, that contributed to the formation and transformation of a sacred site in premodern China
Manuscripts, printed canons, and extra-canonical sources
In studying the Chinese Buddhist canon, or even individual texts preserved in different editions of the canon, scholars have concentrated too much on its printed editions. This emphasis has been to the negligence of three kinds of major sources that may closely bear on the studies of the Chinese Buddhist canon: (1) the manuscript editions of the canon, which were generally created before the printed edition, or Buddhist manuscripts hand-copied in…
What is in a Name? The Possibility of Identifying the Monk Damo as the Mentor of the First Known Self-Claimed Reincarnation of Maitreya in Medieval China
On the basis of a memorial inscription dedicated to an obscure foreign monk known to us only by a rather ordinary word, Damo 達摩 (Dharma), which was obviously a part of his name, this study attempts to reconstruct some traces of his life, and several key aspects of his image as was perceived by his contemporaries. Partly due to his obscurities and popularities, starting from a certain point of time this Damo started to be conflated with the famous…
The multiple roles of the twin Chanding Monasteries in Sui-Tang Chang’an
By examining various roles played by the twin Chanding Monasteries under the Sui and Tang dynasties, this article underscores the necessity of studying religious temples and shrines from multiple perspectives, taking into account the plethora of non-religious factors that scholars of the religious history are wont to ignore or neglect. Scholars need to attend more closely to the roles temples have played in building social, political, economic-co…
Developing and Validating a Measure of Stakeholder Culture for the Not-for-Profit Sector
Jones et al.’s (Acad Manag Rev 32(1):137–155, 2007) typology of stakeholder culture, representing the beliefs, values and practices that an organization has towards its stakeholders, has received widespread recognition. Yet, the literature lacks an instrument to quantify the typology. This study provides such an instrument by constructing and validating a scale of Jones et al.’s (2007) four other-regarding stakeholder cultures of corporate egoist…
Study on anticancer activity of caulis spatholobi extract on human osteosarcoma saos-2 cells
The objective of the present study was to investigate the anticancer activity of Chinese medicine Caulis Spatholobi extract on multicentric osteosarcoma cells. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to determine the total flavonoid content in each sample; vanillin sulphuric acid assay was used to determine the condensed tannin content in each sample; and the varying degrees of inhibitory activities of ethanol, ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts…
A Chinese Monk under a “Barbarian” Mask
Zhihuilun (?-876) was not only a major advocate of Esoteric Buddhism in ninth-century China, he also played a crucial role in transmitting Esotericism to the rest of East Asia. Details of the life of this important figure have remained lost in the mists of uncertainty due to the lack of reliable data. Relying on long-hidden evidence, this article shows that almost all of the remarks made about Zhihuilun by Zanning (919-1001) in the Song gaoseng z…

A Daoist princess and a Buddhist temple
Yunjusi has, over the past few decades, earned a worldwide reputation for the immense repository of Buddhist scriptures carved on the stone slabs that are stored there (the so-called Stone Canon of Fangshan [Fangshan shijing]). The heroic enterprise of carving the whole Buddhist canon into stone had already been initiated during the Daye era (604-617) thanks to the resolve of the monk Jingwan (?-639) and support from Empress Xiao (d. after 630) o…

Philosopher, Practitioner, Politician
The Buddhist monk Fazang (643-712), regarded today mainly as a scholastic monk, was in fact one of the greatest metaphysicians in Asia. This biographical - and hagiographical - study of Fazang seeks to explore his other contributions and in so doing to correct some major mis-presentations and misinterpretations existing in modern scholarship. It highlights and uncovers aspects of Fazang's complicated life which have been neglected or ignored unti…
