It focuses on how this condition is experienced by international migrant women, whose authority and legitimacy may also be shaped by informal norms of language, belonging, cultural familiarity and institutional recognition. Design/methodology/approach The study uses academi…
Performative Inheritance through Academic Theatre
This paper introduces performative inheritance, the idea that intercultural encounters are shaped not by complete or bounded cultural systems but by the philosophical fragments that individuals carry and re-voice in interaction. It argues that intercultural understanding develops not from certainty or mastery, but from the capacity to remain with doubt, tension, and partial clarity. Everyday exchanges reveal long-standing patterns of balance, con…
Relationship between cognitive function, oral health, and activities of daily living among older adults in the context of rural China
Objectives: Using symptom network analysis, this study explores gender differences in the network structure of activities of daily living (ADL) among rural Chinese older adults, examines structural associations between oral health, cognitive function, and ADL, and thereby identifies bridge symptoms within these associations. Methods: In this study, 1,276 older adults from rural areas of various cities in Anhui Province, China, were enrolled betwe…
Residential electricity and gas demand in Great Britain
Understanding household energy demand patterns is essential for effective energy system planning and policy design. This study identifies household electricity and gas ‘demand archetypes’ which capture the typical summer and winter weekday demand profiles for each home. We apply logistic regression with household survey data to identify correlations with those archetypes. Our study uses half-hourly smart meter data from the Smart Energy Research …
‘What does it take to be employable here?’ Intercultural negotiating of employability among international students in the UK
This article examines how international students from Global South countries negotiate employability in the UK through language, identity work, and intercultural adaptation. Drawing on qualitative interviews with students from six countries, it explores how they navigate high-stakes career contexts by recalibrating self-presentation, language use, and strategic timing. The findings identify four trajectories: linguistic recalibration, hybridised …
The effect of alienation on depression among Chinese caregivers of children with autism
Alienation is a significant risk factor for depression among Chinese caregivers of children with ASD, but specific resilience processes within families can buffer this impact. Interventions aimed at reducing caregiver alienation and strengthening communication, support networks, and shared belief systems may help mitigate depression in this population
Active components and mechanisms of Shuganning injection in lessening acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury
Influencing factors for sustainable high-quality implementation of comprehensive practical activity courses in rural areas
The Rural Comprehensive Practical Activity Course (RCPAC) plays a vital role in advancing quality education, fulfilling the fundamental goal of moral development, and promoting the modernization of rural education. Despite its significance, RCPAC currently faces the pressing challenge of maintaining high-quality implementation over time. Addressing the root causes of this unsustainability is essential for refining course design, improving impleme…
The impact of bidirectional emotional support on social isolation in older adults
Objective To investigate the impact of bidirectional emotional support on social isolation among community-dwelling older adults and the underlying mechanisms of this effect. Methods In this study, 1,136 community-dwelling older adults were recruited from Hefei City, China in 2022 using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, the Intergenerational Support Scale, the Social Network Scal…
Intercultural Friendship Formation Through the Lens of Cosmopolitan Agency
This article explores a group of international students' experiences on intercultural friendship formation in one British university in the UK through the lens of cosmopolitan agency (Kudo, 2023), which is an ecological perspective of meaningful interactions between international and home students. Under the context that internationalisation continues to be on the agenda of higher education in the UK, this article examines how international stude…
A study of the music history of the Pathé Company in the Shun Pao
Gramophones and records were first introduced into China at the end of the 19th Century and then developed and prospered here. After years of development and exploration, since E.Labansat founded Pathé Company in 1908, Pathé became the most influential record company. It maintained its leadership in record content and quality in this industry. The Company also played an important role in developing the record industry and transmitting the musical…

Assessing Intercultural Competence in The Digital World
This study presents evidence of the impact of an innovative pedagogical practice that cultivates and develops the intercultural competence of undergraduate college students. 15 U.S. undergraduate students enrolled in a business study abroad course and 12 Chinese undergraduate students participated in a virtual student exchange project in spring 2019. Using global distance learning technology, the students collaborated on the project to provide a …
A Blessing or a Curse? Exploring the Impact of Environmental Regulation on China’s Regional Green Development from the Perspective of Governance Transformation
China's rapid economic growth has caused serious problems, such as environmental pollution and resource exhaustion. Only by improving the green total factor productivity (GTFP) can China's economic development get out of the dual dilemmas of environmental degradation and resources exhaustion. Although environmental regulation helps to improve China's productivity, its impact on GTFP is still controversial and deserves careful investigation. In th…

The Role of Cross-Scale Social and Environmental Contexts in Household-Level Land-Use Decisions, Poyang Lake Region, China
As rural households worldwide become increasingly engaged in urban economies and regional and global markets, agricultural land use is increasingly under influences of macrolevel forces. Investigating the cross-scale processes behind land-use decisions of rural households is important for understanding the deferential effects of macrolevel forces across local social and environmental contexts. We combined quantitative analysis of household survey…

Regional lake ice meltout patterns near Barrow, Alaska
The coastal plain of Arctic Alaska contains many thousands of lakes developed in continuous permafrost, which are ice-free for only 3–4 months each year. The spatial pattern of lake ice meltout for 1870 lakes (>10 ha) in a ~9200 km2 study area near Barrow, Alaska, is analyzed using five Landsat scenes spanning a 35-year record. For each available year, a spectra-based clustering algorithm is used to differentiate water from ice during springtime …
The Primacy of the Mother Tongue
This article describes Indigenous Australian languages as having a history of pejoration dating from colonial times, which has masked the richness and complexity of mother tongues (and more recently developed kriols) of large numbers of Indigenous Australians.The paper rejects deficit theory representations of these languages as being inferior to imported dialects of English and explains how language issues embedded in teaching practices have ser…
