Illness acceptance and early self-management in older adults with prediabetes: The mediating role of depression
Background Early self-management is essential for preventing the progression from prediabetes to diabetes, particularly among older adults who often experience difficulties maintaining stable health behaviors during the early adaptation stage. Illness acceptance represents an important cognitive response to disease-related stress, while depression reflects a common emotional reaction during early disease awareness. However, the psychological mech…

Forest Type Impacts Productivity in Karst Forests More Than Soil Nutrient Stocks and Multi‐Trophic Biodiversity
Current research has confirmed that forest productivity in non‐karst regions is closely related to biodiversity. However, the relationship between forest productivity and multi‐trophic biodiversity remains unclear in karst habitats, characterized by thin soil layers and limited soil nutrients. To better understand the productivity of natural and planted forests in karst regions and main impact factors on the forest productivity, we selected resto…
Contextualizing Public Sentiment Analysis of Sexual Violence on Chinese Social Media: A Mixed-Method Study
Sexual violence remains a severe global public health burden, yet disclosure rates are particularly low in Chinese contexts due to cultural norms of family privacy and stigma. Social media provides a semi-anonymous channel through which survivors and the public express emotions that are rarely captured in clinical or survey research. This study aimed to characterize public emotional responses to sexual violence in China by analyzing large-scale s…
Dual Blessing or Dual Constraint? Chinese Universities' Spatial Imaginary and Navigation in Pursuit of Global Reputation
This article explores how Chinese universities navigate global and national spaces in their pursuit of global reputation, revealing inherent paradoxes within both. Drawing on the glonacal agency heuristic, the study highlights universities' agentic imaginaries in guiding their practices and navigating material spaces. The findings show that the fluid global space facilitates academic mobility and collaboration while exposing macro‐structural chal…

Global aspirations of Chinese universities: Towards a world-centred tianxia (all under heaven) imaginary of global higher education
This article explores the global aspirations of Chinese universities by examining the Chinese scholarly conceptualisation of guoji yingxiangli (literally meaning international influence) and its connection to the world-centred idea of tianxia. We interviewed 22 Chinese experts in education and conducted a documentary analysis of relevant Chinese academic publications. Findings show that there is no English equivalence of the Chinese term guoji yi…
A lexical comparison of the public good of higher education: Concepts, contextual underpinnings and implications, focusing on Japanese, Chinese and English
While it is generally agreed that higher education is a public good and produces public goods, it remains unclear what this means. An important reason for the unclarity is the conceptual ambiguity and cultural nuances of the concept of the public good in higher education. Coupled with the Western dominance of discourse in higher education and language challenges in translation, the ambiguity and nuances further result in challenges for studies th…
Making the world a better place? English higher education and global public good
UK higher education is highly internationalised. Two-thirds of science papers with UK authors involve international collaboration, one-quarter of higher education students are international, and their fees constitute more than a fifth of institutional income. What then are the contributions of higher education and research to the global public good? The study investigates this in relation to England within UK, drawing on interviews with 37 people…
Higher education and national and global public good(s) in Ontario, Canada
This paper explores contributions to public good(s) in higher education in Ontario, Canada. In a break from the trend of this special issue, this paper does not offer a comprehensive national study. Rather, it is based on a multiple case study conducted in a single predominantly English-speaking province, Ontario, drawing on 19 semi-structured interviews conducted in 2019 with policymakers and university staff, including those in academic and exe…
Higher education and public good in England
In the Anglophone jurisdictions, higher education policy is over-determined by economic policy and subjected to neoliberal regulation based on quasi-market competition between corporatised institutions, regulated by performative comparisons, tuition fees, and outputs imagined as commodities. England installed marketisation in successive policy changes between the Thatcher government’s introduction of commercial fees for international students in …
Dependency and neocolonialism in international research collaboration: Evidence from a Ghanaian elite university
Scientific collaboration between the Global North and South has expanded significantly over the last three decades. However, this expansion has yet to bring about equal international research collaborations (IRC) for all collaborating sides. Through a case study of a Ghanaian elite university, this study examines how these inequalities manifest in the IRC of Ghanaian higher education researchers, building on the theoretical lenses of neocoloniali…
Confronting Intellectual Extraversion: Reflexivity and Efforts of Ethnic Chinese Humanities and Social Sciences Scholars
Worldwide, humanities and social sciences (HSS) scholars produce and disseminate knowledge in an unequal global knowledge space, which can be caused by various structural, epistemological, and individual-level factors. Although global epistemic injustice receives much attention, the factors contributing to it, including the extraverted mindsets and practices of non-Euro-American scholars, remain less discussed. This article draws on semibiographi…

Thinking through the world’: A tianxia heuristic for higher education
Ancient Chinese civilisation developed two ideas about the ordering of large human spaces. The first was tianxia or ‘all under heaven’, the inclusive and cosmopolitan world as a whole, with no exterior, and governance on the basis of shared values and benefits, which first shaped statecraft in the Western Zhou dynasty (1047–1771 BCE). Second, the centralised nation-state which emerged in the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE). Both strands have been influ…

The research-intensive university in a glonacal higher education system: The creation of the world-class university in China
The paper employs a glonacal agency heuristic to explore how certain research-intensive Chinese universities exercise agency in response to global and national impacts in creating the world-class university. Two global forces (international scholarly discussions on the world-class university and global university rankings) and one national force (China's Double First-Class Project) are considered. Through an in-depth document analysis of 41 Chine…

Critical Hazards Identification and Prevention of Cascading Escalator Accidents at Metro Rail Transit Stations
Escalator accidents not only happen frequently but also have cascading effects. The purpose of this study is to block the formation of cascading accident networks by identifying and preventing critical hazards. A modified five-step task-driven method (FTDM) is proposed to break down passenger-related cascading escalator accidents. Three complex network parameters in complex network theory are utilized to identify critical and non-critical Risk Pa…
Numerical Simulation of Na-Tech Cascading Disasters in a Large Oil Depot
The mechanism of natural-hazard-triggered technological (Na-tech) cascading disasters is complex, and the extent to which their damage is aggravated by various secondary events is difficult to quantify. This study selected a large oil depot and constructed a full-scale three-dimensional scene model based on the surrounding geographical environment. The discrete element method (DEM), finite element method (FEM) and finite volume method (FVM) were …
Influential Factors Associated with Consecutive Crash Severity: A Two-Level Logistic Modeling Approach
A consecutive crash series is composed by a primary crash and one or more subsequent secondary crashes that occur immediately within a certain distance. The crash mechanism of a consecutive crash series is distinctive, as it is different from common primary and secondary crashes mainly caused by queuing effects and chain-reaction crashes that involve multiple collisions in one crash. It commonly affects a large area of road space and possibly cau…
