Beyond the ‘strategic cooperative relations’: Where is China-Türkiye relations heading
Open AccessChen Yang, Chi-Chuan YangARTICLEAsian Journal of Middle Eastern…2026
Türkiye is among the world’s earliest countries to sign an intergovernmental cooperation agreement on the Belt and Road Initiative with China. Nevertheless, viewed against the development of China’s relations with Middle Eastern states, the level of China-Türkiye relations remains relatively low, confined merely to a ‘strategic cooperative relations’. However, based on a profound understanding of the current global landscape, regional order and r…
Intercultural competence in vocational education and training: A systematic scoping review and research agenda
Open AccessChen Yang, Martin Fleischer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2026
Background Intercultural competence (IC) has become a critical skill for vocational education and training (TVET) graduates in an era of globalised labour markets, transnational partnerships, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Dynamic Interplay of Stress, Meaning, Social Support, and Autonomy in College Students’ Mental Health
Qian Chen, Xinqiang Wang et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Psychology2026
Understanding the impact of changes in perceived stress on mental health is critical for advancing targeted interventions; however, the psychological mechanisms underpinning these processes remain largely unexplored. Grounded in the Dual-Factor System of Mental Health (DFM) and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study explores the intra-individual effects of changes in perceived stress on depression and flourishing, focusing on resource…

Educational pathways for enhancing algorithmic transparency: A discussion based on the phenomenological reduction method
Open AccessYang Chen, Chen Yang et al.ARTICLEAI & Society2026
Enhancing algorithmic transparency is a pivotal issue in the ethics of artificial intelligence. From a phenomenological perspective, algorithmic transparency comprises two dimensions: the openness and visibility of algorithmic systems and the subject’s cognitive engagement with understanding the operational logic and theoretical underpinnings of algorithms. Consequently, algorithmic transparency should be reframed as a cognitive issue, with educa…
Successful Field Establishment and Short‐Term Ecological Benefits of a Prefabricated Moss Biocrust Carpet in a Desertified Sandy Land
Open AccessLi X, Xinhao Li et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2026
Moss biocrusts are a promising biomaterial for dryland restoration, but conventional inoculation methods are often constrained by limited propagules, complex implementation, and slow establishment. Employing a “greenhouse cultivation to ex‐situ transplantation” strategy, this study transplanted prefabricated moss biocrust carpets to the Mu Us Sandland to evaluate their short‐term physiological responses and ecological benefits. Within 90 days pos…

From self to screen: A person-centered analysis of self-identity and internet addiction among Chinese college students
Open AccessXue Yang, Chen Yang et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2026
The findings indicate that distinct patterns of self-identity are closely associated with variations in Chinese college students' vulnerability to internet addiction. Students undergoing identity moratorium appear particularly at risk for excessive internet use. Supporting identity development may therefore represent an effective focus for targeted interventions aimed at reducing IA risk

Effects of different support surfaces on postural stability and sensorimotor cortex activation among individuals with chronic ankle instability
Open AccessYurui Shen, Mengyu Liu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026References: 1
Individuals with CAI exhibit impaired postural stability, particularly on unstable surfaces, accompanied by increased activation in the primary motor cortex, primary sensory cortex, somatosensory association cortex, and the premotor and supplementary motor area. These findings suggest a compensatory neural strategy, highlighting the critical role of cortical mechanisms in maintaining postural control in this population

Three-Dimensional Outdoor Pedestrian Road Network Map Construction Based on Crowdsourced Trajectory Data
Open AccessJianbo Tang, Tianyu Zhang et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2025
Due to the complexity of outdoor environments, we still face challenges in collecting up-to-date outdoor road network maps because of high data collection costs, resulting in a lack of navigation road network maps in outdoor scenarios. Existing road network extraction methods are mainly divided into trajectory data-based and remote sensing image-based methods. Due to factors such as tree occlusion, methods based on remote sensing images struggle …
Affect and rewriting of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim in Chinese translation during the Republican era
Huan Huang, Wang Xi et al.ARTICLELanguage & History2025
The May Fourth movement in Republican China has long been recognised as a New Culture Movement advocating Enlightenment rationalism and science. However, recent academic attention has increasingly highlighted another facet of the May Fourth Movement – the Counter-Enlightenment, which centres on qing, or affect. This emerging perspective aims to debunk the decades-long biased view and present a more comprehensive narrative of the May Fourth era. B…

On the Formalization of Hegel’s Dialectical Logic
Chen YangARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic2025
In his recent paper, Priest proposes a formal model of dialectical logic (Priest [2023]. ‘The logical structure of dialectic’, History and Philosophy of Logic, 44 (2), 200–208.). This paper critically examines Priest’s formal model from two key perspectives: First, it assesses the model’s accuracy in describing the dialectical progression; second, it evaluates the model’s ability to explain this progression. The analysis reveals that Priest’s for…

Urban Spatial Structure with Open Space
Open AccessChen Yang, C H Yang et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1983Cited by: 1References: 11
Urban open spaces such as parks, open squares, parkways, etc, are considered as amenity resources or local public goods and incorporated into neoclassical urban land-use theory. Models characterizing Pareto efficient allocations and competitive equilibrium allocations with open space are presented. The 'fiscal profitability principle' suggested by Margolis is confirmed to be applicable to determine an efficient distribution of open space. Many in…

Observed high-frequency financial prices can be considered as having two components, a true price and a market microstructure noise perturbation. It is an empirical regularity, coherent with classical market microstructure theories of price determination, that the second moment of market microstructure noise is time-varying. We study the optimal, from a finite-sample forecast mean squared error (MSE) standpoint, frequency selection for realized v…
