Communication scholarship impact reality check: A comparison of SSCI journals’ research orientations and citation metrics
This study examines 4,313 research articles published in 94 Social Science Citation Indexed (SSCI) communication journals in October 2020-September 2021 to determine the journals’ research orientations and compare how journal-level attributes affect the three major citation metrics: Journal Impact Factor (JIF), SCImago Journal Ranking (SJR), and H5-indexes. Quantitative orientation and technology-related focus are the two most important journal a…
Effects of tocopherol supplementation on endometrial thickness in subfertility patients
Background and Aim: Tocopherol is a vital nutrient for women during pregnancy, and multiple investigations revealed that a lack of tocopherol can cause preeclampsia, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and premature birth. There is scarcity of data regarding the effect of tocopherol on endometrial thickness. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of tocopherol supplement on endometrial thickness. Methods: T…
Implications of source, content, and style cues in curbing health misinformation and fake news
Purpose To provide human judgment input for computer algorithm development, this study examines the relative importance of source, content, and style cues in predicting the truthfulness ratings of two common types of online health information: news stories and institutional news releases. Design/methodology/approach This study employed a multi-method approach using (1) a manual content analysis of 400 randomly selected online health news stories …

There is a growing sense in China, Alex Witherspoon, Amir Khan, and Yu Zhou write, that the timeworn methods of social advancement are yielding diminishing returns. Using an original survey of 301 individuals in Jingzhou City, the authors lay bare the roots of this widespread feeling of involution
A review of resource management and self‐reliance for sustainable development of India under Covid ‐19 scenario
The rapid spread of COVID‐19 pandemic has caused a severe disorder in the global economy. The sudden imposition of lockdown is expected to largely impact the global as well as Indian economy.

Technology fetishism in The Wandering Earth
My claim is that Frant Gwo’s film, The Wandering Earth (2019), fetishises technology and, in so doing, forces Western audiences of the film to face an otherwise outdated thematic motif of social togetherness or solidarity. That is, the exquisite onscreen rendering of advanced technological achievement (the construction of 10,000 Earth Engines designed to drive the planet to inhabit another solar system after the sun begins to rapidly deteriorate)…
Thirdhand smoke contamination in hospital settings: Assessing exposure risk for vulnerable paediatric patients: Table 1
THS appears to be ubiquitous, even in closely guarded healthcare settings. Future research will address potential health consequences and THS-reduction policies. Ultimately, hospital policies and interventions to reduce THS transport and exposure may prove necessary, especially for immunocompromised children

Michael Jackson'sRessentiment: Billie JeanandSmooth Criminalin Conversation with Fred Astaire
Little attempt is made at juxtaposing Michael Jackson's art against that of his cultural predecessors. Reading Billie Jean (1983) and Smooth Criminal (1988) in conversation with Fred Astaire's popular 1953 musical, The Band Wagon, for example, exposes all sorts of intertwining threads of significance and ressentiment, particularly in terms of race relations and cultural appropriation. Yet my purpose in this paper is not to assign the last word to…

METHODS: In a stratified random cluster sample of census enumeration areas across four districts in Pakistan, household interviews about vaccination of children and potentially related factors with 10,423 mothers of 14,542 children preceded discuss…
Collecting Reliable Information About Violence Against Women Safely in Household Interviews: Experience From a Large-Scale National Survey in South Asia
This article describes the first national survey of violence against women in Pakistan from 2001 to 2004 covering 23,430 women. The survey took account of methodological and ethical recommendations, ensuring privacy of interviews through one person interviewing the mother-in-law while another interviewed the eligible woman privately. The training module for interviewers focused on empathy with respondents, notably increasing disclosure rates. Onl…

Lower calcaneal bone mineral density and broadband ultrasonic attenuation, but not speed of sound, in South Asian than white European women
In this study, postmenopausal South Asian women living in the UK had a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and lower calcaneal BMD than white European women, consistent with previous findings. Differences were detected in calcaneal BUA but not SOS. Further research is needed to evaluate fracture risk and its detection in South Asian women
Differences in hi‐tech immigrant earnings and wages across Canadian cities
This paper examines the relative earnings and wages of immigrants working in the hi‐tech sector in Canada's cities. Between 1990 and 2000, a sizeable earnings advantage of immigrants over nonimmigrants employed in the hi‐tech sector evaporated, and this change was most noticeable in the largest cities. We use population census microdata to examine the geographical dimensions of this shift. After controlling for individual characteristics, we show…
