  • Comparative study of the spoken language features in the academic writings of Chinese and Sudanese undergraduates

    Open Access•Yujie Su, Altayeb Salih Ahmed Mohammed et al.•ARTICLE•Discover Education•2026

    Employing spoken language characteristics in written language could potentially generate confusion for readers, as these features rely on the speaker’s physical presence to express the speaker’s precise intentions beyond the usage of these elements. However, prior research often adopted a qualitative study of differences between the spoken and written languages, and scarcely conducted contrastive studies comparing learners of English as a foreign…

  • Chain mediation effects of depressive symptoms and nutritional risk between social support and oral frailty in patients with coronary heart disease

    Open Access•Yufeng Wang, QingQiu Gan et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2026

    Introduction Oral frailty among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients is prevalent and harmful. CHD patients have encountered serious physical and psychological health issues. Social support is a crucial protective factor in chronic disease management. There is a paucity of evidence regarding the specific association among CHD patients. Depressive symptoms and nutritional risk have been demonstrated to be associated with oral frailty, but the med…

  • The mediating effects of perceived stress and affective temperament on the relationship between psychological capital and mental health in nursing undergraduates

    Open Access•Xiao-Ying Shen, Yong-Lin Tang et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Education•2026

    Introduction Nursing undergraduates face significant academic and clinical practice pressures, contributing to prominent mental health challenges. The pathways through which psychological capital—as a positive psychological resource—influences mental health remain unclear. This study examines perceived stress and affective temperaments as mediating variables to elucidate their transmission mechanisms, aiming to optimize resilience-building progra…

  • Trends and urban–rural disparities in infant and cause-specific mortality in Shaanxi Province, China, 2014–2023

    Open Access•Xue Yang, Baozhu Wang et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2026

    Background China has achieved substantial reductions in infant mortality; however, pronounced subnational disparities persist, particularly in western and rural regions. In the context of demographic change and evolving perinatal risk profiles, region-specific evidence is essential to guide targeted interventions and support progress toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2. Methods This population-based observational study analyzed data fro…

  • Preliminary effects and feasibility of a school-based regular aerobic exercise intervention on PTSD-related symptoms among college students

    Open Access•Yuanyuan Jing, Dajun Yang et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2026

    Background: College students are considered a high-risk group for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Existing non-pharmacological interventions, although effective and accessible, still have notable limitations. Regular aerobic exercise, as a potential mental health promotion strategy, requires empirical validation in real campus environments to determine its specific effects on reducing anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, as well as its …

  • Effectiveness of Pre-Reading Questions as Sources of Situational Interest in Second Language Reading

    Open Access•Juan Zhang, Michael Yi-Chao Jiang•ARTICLE•SAGE Open•2026

    Among the wide range of studies investigating sources of situational interest in text-based and classroom-based contexts, two strands of findings seem to have emerged: intrigue and knowledge gap. However, the effectiveness of these two types of triggers has not been extensively examined, particularly for the reading context in the field of second language reading. Therefore, this study uses a quasi-experimental method to compare the effectiveness…

  • Enhancing Phonological Awareness in First and Second Language by Jyutping Training

    Open Access•Juan Zhang, Catherine Snow et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Language•2026

    Although a phonology-based coding system (i.e. Pinyin) is universally taught to beginning readers in mainland China, in Macau no such system is taught to children learning Cantonese. To examine whether providing such a system to Cantonese-speaking children is beneficial for reading development in both first (Cantonese) and second (English) language, the present study first attempted to implement a Cantonese phonology-based coding system (i.e. Jyu…

  • The translation of extralinguistic cultural references in subtitling

    Open Access•Wei Chen, Takeshi Nakamoto et al.•ARTICLE•Target International Journal of…•2025

    There has been substantial scholarly interest in extralinguistic cultural references (ECRs) in translation, especially in audiovisual translation (AVT). However, most scholars have investigated subtitling from English into other languages. Although China has a long tradition of film production, few studies have investigated the subtitling of ECRs from Chinese into English. This article attempts to remedy this by investigating the translation stra…

  • Emotion word is an ambiguous concept

    Chenggang Wu, Juan Zhang•ARTICLE•Cognition & Emotion•2025

    We argue that emotion words can be divided into two subcategories: emotion-label words and emotion-laden words. We believe that the term "emotion word" should not solely refer to emotion-label words, since emotion-laden words also contain emotional content, and both emotion-label words and emotion-laden words play important roles in creating emotions. Based on the division of emotion-laden words and emotion-label words, the two types of words can…

  • Remote and edgy

    Open Access•E Harms, Shafqat Hussain et al.•ARTICLE•Hau Journal of Ethnographic Theory•2014•Cited by: 29•References: 18

    Eight anthropologists working in various parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America reflect on an essay by Edwin Ardener on the concept of remote areas recently reprinted in Hau(Volume 2, Issue 1). These reflections all show that the idea of the remote can be detached from its geographical moorings and understood not simply as a spatial concept but as a relativistic social construct. Considered in conjunction with the notion of edginess, they under…

  • China's Cosmopolitan Nationalists

    Pal Nyiri, Juan Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•The China Journal•2010•Cited by: 23

    In March and April of 2008, cheerful, miniskirted and spiky-haired Chinese student demonstrators filled city streets and university campuses from San Francisco to Sydney, waving red flags and chanting patriotic songs while snapping photos of each other. The students, and graduates, were protesting at Western media coverage of recent rioting in Tibet, and "protecting" the Olympic torch relay from hecklers. When they returned home from the demonstr…

  • Still ‘breadwinners’ and ‘providers’

    Yi''En Cheng, B S A Yeoh et al.•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2014•Cited by: 17•References: 16

    As international marriages continue to be on the rise around the world, and in East and Southeast Asia in particular, there is an increasing need for more focused studies on the phenomenon. While the extant literature has paid attention to the complex dynamics of marital intimacies through a ‘gender-sensitive’ lens, the experiences of men are still largely under-examined. This article considers the gendered and classed subjectivities of Singapore…

  • Comparative Cultural Salience

    Open Access•Eric C Thompson, Eric Thompson et al.•ARTICLE•CAM•2006•Cited by: 17•References: 16

    In this article, we discuss procedures for comparing the cultural salience of semantic domains and their constitutive signifiers between groups of respondents based on free list data. These methods allow us to assess the relative similarity and difference of the cognitive salience of elements within a domain across groups of respondents. We argue that cultural salience is an important but often overlooked variable in the structure of semantic dom…

  • Reading, Writing, and Animation in Character Learning in Chinese as a Foreign Language

    Open Access•Yi Xu, Li–Yun Chang et al.•ARTICLE•Foreign Language Annals•2013•Cited by: 13•References: 35

    Previous studies suggest that writing helps reading development in Chinese in both first and second language settings by enabling higher‐quality orthographic representation of the characters. This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of reading, animation, and writing in developing foreign language learners' orthographic knowledge of Chinese and found that, for learners with existing orthographic knowledge, the three learning conditio…

  • Cross-Border Marriage, Transgovernmental Friction, and Waiting

    Open Access•Juan Zhang, Melody Chia-Wen Lu et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning D…•2015•Cited by: 11•References: 38

    This paper examines how discrepant governmental rationalities and processes produce friction and shifting experiences of subjectification as transmigrants cross borders. Using the experiences of mainland Chinese marriage migrants in Singapore as an example, the paper explores the notion of 'transgovernmental friction' and how it reinforces state boundaries, reshapes body politics, and animates waiting as an active practice that transforms migrant…

  • Migrant immobilities beyond the pandemic

    Open Access•L A Hoang, Juan Zhang•ARTICLE•Asian and Pacific migration journal•2023•Cited by: 6•References: 30

    Transnational migration entails profound changes to gender subjectivities and family structures, social networks and urban landscapes, and lifestyles and aspirations. Pandemic-induced immobilities have led many to question the assumed links between migration and mobility, and heightened interest in mobility inequalities. This research note offers critical insights into the “immobility turn” scholarship and highlights the gaps in our understanding…

  • Nearly mobile

    Juan Zhang, Bingyu Wang•ARTICLE•New Community•2023•Cited by: 6•References: 26

    This article proposes ‘nearly mobile’ as a productive concept to illustrate the im/mobility experiences amongst Asian skilled migrants in England during a global health crisis. The concept of ‘nearly mobile’ describes how mobility practices and aspirations have been heavily restricted during national lockdowns, while still remaining fluid and relational, with both debilitating and empowering potentials. The ambiguity of ‘nearly’ offers both frust…

  • Searching for oriental simplicity

    This article examines the oriental project of imagining migrant women through commercially arranged cross-border marriages. Taking the ‘foreign bride’ in Singapore as a subject of ‘oriental simplicity’, it shows how contemporary orientalism continues to shape practices and beliefs in something as familiar as searching for a wife and having a family. The article questions the gendered, classed and sexualised politics that render the migrant woman …

    How were lockdowns implemented, experienced, and perceived under China's zero-COVID regime? How do we make sense of its sudden collapse after three years of its hegemonic presence dominating Chinese lives? What does it tell us about the zero-COVID regime's inherent inconsistencies and sociopolitical contradictions as expressed in everyday life? This essay serves as the introduction to the Currents section, a compilation of seven research articles…

  • To move or not to move

    Open Access•Greg Marston, Juan Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Mobilities•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 54

    The mobility and agency of the unemployed have rarely been examined together in welfare administration. Mobility research has much to offer the (im)mobility of low-skilled and unemployed workers. The article begins by critically examining dominant public discourse and policy reforms that stigmatise the assumed immobility of the unemployed. Drawing on empirical data from in-depth interviews with people on income support payments in Australia, it t…

  • From lockdowns (fengcheng) to silence (jingmo)

    Open Access•Juan Zhang•ARTICLE•Hau Journal of Ethnographic Theory•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 2

    COVID-19 lockdowns instituted a new kind of normal for many in China in the past three years. From Wuhan to Shanghai, urban lockdowns (封城 fengcheng) have become synonymous with the state's draconian COVID control measures enforced upon the whole of society, which caused many forms of loss and suffering. However, after the early days of COVID control in Shanghai in April 2022, the term "lockdown" vanished from official discourse, replaced surrepti…

  • Emotion Words Modulate Early Conflict Processing in a Flanker Task

    Open Access•Juan Zhang, Timothy Teo et al.•ARTICLE•Language and Speech•2019•Cited by: 4•References: 29

    Emotion words modulate conflict processing, even at an early stage (i.e., N200). However, the previous studies implicitly mixed emotion-label words and emotion-laden words together and mostly concentrated on first language (L1) rather than on second language (L2). The current study aimed to investigate whether L2 negative emotion-label words, negative emotion-laden words, and neutral words would affect conflict processing in a flanker task by usi…

  • Different early and late processing of emotion-label words and emotion-laden words in a second language

    Open Access•Juan Zhang, Chenggang Wu et al.•ARTICLE•Second language Research•2018•Cited by: 4

    Although increasing literature has suggested that emotion-label words (e.g., anger, delight) and emotion-laden words (e.g., thief, bride) were processed differently in native language (L1), there was a lack of neuroimaging evidence showing such differences in second language (L2). The current study compared the cortical responses to emotion-label words and emotion-laden words in L2 using event-related potentials (ERPs) technique. Sixteen Chinese–…

  • Walled’ activism

    This article examines China's cyber-activism in relation to the politics of making a transnational, Chinese public sphere in both the virtual world and real-life locations. By conceptualising Chinese cyber-activism as 'walled' activism, this article describes an invisible yet effective 'wall' constructed through hegemonic affective conditioning to separate those who are within the 'wall' from those on the outside. This 'wall' shields particular t…

    Using Singapore's newly opened mega casino resorts as an example, this article illustrates how the expanding casino economy in Asia shapes, and is shaped by, an emerging mobility regime that works through the politics of exception. The coupling of mobility and exception creates a particular governing technology of tracking credibility through which mobile subjects and citizen subjects become manageable. Credibility demands that individuals must d…

  • Multiple mobilities and entrepreneurial modalities among Chinese marriage migrants in Malaysia

    This research focuses on the migration trajectories of mainland Chinese women marriage migrants in Malaysia. It finds that their migratory motivations and pathways reveal formerly overlooked mobility patterns that depart from the institutionally organized, commercially arranged, or kinship and social network-mediated migration patterns. The authors argue that the state's attempts to grow its regulatory capacity, the increasing 'cost' of legality …
