This study investigated the factors shaping Chinese higher education students' continued intention and self-reported use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in academic work. Drawing on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, the study examined the roles of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, behavioural intention, use behaviour, and perceived …
Neural Network-Aided Differential Evolution With Double Q-Learning for Dynamic Optimization
As the search space and hence the optimum vary through time, dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) bring tremendous difficulties. Changes in DOPs often manifest as diverse dynamics. Consequently, regulating individuals’ search to adapt to diverse dynamics is crucial to tackle DOPs. Besides, due to the inherent population nature in dynamic optimization algorithms (DOAs), loss of global and local diversities is a critical issue deteriorating the per…
Flooding and injustice in Ningbo, China
Flooding induced by sea level rise, intense rainfall events, land subsidence, and storm surges adversely impacts coastal cities worldwide. Flooding events are understood to disproportionately affect places, communities, and individuals that are already socioeconomically disadvantaged, while various flood mitigation and prevention actions may inadvertently deepen existing injustice by further redistributing flood risk to marginalised groups. The s…

Reinforcement Learning Based Robust Volt/Var Control in Active Distribution Networks With Imprecisely Known Delay
Active distribution networks (ADNs) incorporating massive photovoltaic (PV) devices encounter challenges of rapid voltage fluctuations and potential violations. Due to the fluctuation and intermittency of PV generation, the state gap, arising from time-inconsistent states and exacerbated by imprecisely known system delays, significantly impacts the accuracy of voltage control. This article addresses this challenge by introducing a framework for d…

Exploring the influence of students' perceptions of face-to-face collaboration on cognitive engagement and learning outcomes in collaborative programming
Collaborative programming is being increasingly used to overcome the difficulties of the individual programming process. In this study, we investigated the effect of collaborative perception on cognitive engagement and learning outcomes in collaborative programming. We used a quasi-experimental research to determine the differences in cognitive engagement and learning outcomes of three groups with different levels of collaborative perception. The…
On Bivariate Time-Varying Price Staleness
Price staleness refers to the extent of zero returns in price dynamics. Bandi, Pirino, and Reno introduce two types of staleness: systematic and idiosyncratic staleness. In this study, we allow price staleness to be time-varying and study the statistical inference for idiosyncratic and common price staleness between two assets. We propose consistent estimators for both time-varying idiosyncratic and systematic price staleness and derive their asy…

Modeling temporal cognitive topic to uncover learners’ concerns under different cognitive engagement patterns
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide learners with high-quality learning resources, but learners drop out frequently. Learners’ concerns (e.g. the topics in course content or logistics) and cognitive engagement patterns (e.g. tentative or certain) are considered the essential factors affecting learners’ course completions. However, it is still unclear what different learning achievement groups focus on in each cognitive engagement pattern.…
Computer-supported collaborative concept mapping
Computer-supported collaborative concept mapping (CSCCM) integrates technology and concept mapping to support students’ knowledge understanding, and much research on the behavioral patterns involved in CSCCM activities has been conducted. However, there is limited understanding of the differences in knowledge understanding and behavioral patterns between students with different levels of collaboration perception. This study examined the impact of…
Psychological Functions of Subjective Norms
This article considers the social and psychological functions that norm-based thinking and behavior provide for the individual and the collectivity. We differentiate between two types of reference groups that provide norms: peer groups versus aspirational groups. We integrate functionalist accounts by distinguishing the functions served by the norms of different reference groups, different degrees of norm moralization, and different directions of…

Land-based finance and property tax in China
Over the last two decades, cities in China have relied heavily on the revenues from public land leasing to finance urban development. This source of revenue is not sustainable. To address this issue and a distorted housing market, the current municipal finance reform agenda aims to introduce a property tax on the ownership of private residential properties. However, significant hurdles exist as a majority of urban households have purchased housin…

On the Estimation of Integrated Volatility With Jumps and Microstructure Noise
In this article, we propose a nonparametric procedure to estimate the integrated volatility of an Itô semimartingale in the presence of jumps and microstructure noise. The estimator is based on a combination of the preaveraging method and threshold technique, which serves to remove microstructure noise and jumps, respectively. The estimator is shown to work for both finite and infinite activity jumps. Furthermore, asymptotic properties of the pro…

Normology
This paper integrates social norm constructs from different disciplines into an integrated model. Norms exist in the objective social environment in the form of behavioral regularities, patterns of sanctioning, and institutionalized practices and rules. They exist subjectively in perceived descriptive norms, perceived injunctive norms, and personal norms. We also distil and delineate three classic theories of why people adhere to norms: internali…
Polycultural Psychology
We review limitations of the traditional paradigm for cultural research and propose an alternative framework, polyculturalism. Polyculturalism assumes that individuals' relationships to cultures are not categorical but rather are partial and plural; it also assumes that cultural traditions are not independent, sui generis lineages but rather are interacting systems. Individuals take influences from multiple cultures and thereby become conduits th…
