Assessing the Link Between Homeownership and Health in Canada
This study proposes a theoretical model that integrates important mediating and moderating effects to explain whether and how homeownership is potentially linked to health in today's Canadian society. This integrative model examines (1) whether the link between homeownership and health is moderated by housing cost (especially housing unaffordability) and (2) whether the homeownership-health link can be explained by the three mechanisms represente…
Family resilience and its related factors among parents of children with congenital heart disease in China
Parents of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) face chronic stress impairing family functioning and well-being. As a key protective factor, family resilience aids their adaptation. However, existing research predominantly measures general family resilience, neglecting heterogeneous resilience patterns and subgroup profiles. Our study uses person-centered Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) to identify latent family resilience classes in Chines…
Desired or disillusioned urban dreams? How Weibo discursively construct digitalized cruel mobility for Chinese skilled migrants
Anchored in the “ Hegang ” phenomenon and the recent contradictory buzzwords on Weibo, this study proposes a theoretical framework of digitalized cruel mobility that demonstrates how digital discourses on social media platforms do not merely reflect but actively construct and intensify a forced, cyclical mobility of young skilled migrants between two objects of cruel optimism. Through a qualitative analysis of Weibo discourses and supplementary H…
Operating CIMCs
China’s grassroots organizations have established an ecosystem of digital publicity and platform governance by operating county-level integrated media centers (CIMCs). Content marketing and “soft news” production methods have been integrated with commercial digital platforms. This enhances the visual appeal of products by using more suitable discourse expressions for younger generations. At the same time, efforts to “speak out” and “occupy” the I…

The digital village strategy is a critical component of China's national blueprint for integrating big data and digital technologies into rural revitalization. This study investigates the implementation of digital grid governance in rural China through a case study of County F—a national pilot site for the Digital Village Strategy. The study highlights the flexible, experimental, and iterative nature of local implementation, shaped by bureaucrati…
The visibility burden of crafting an idealized factory life
While factory recruitment has increasingly relied on digital platforms, there has been limited analysis of how factory workers are recruited in platform studies. This article examines a group of unconventional influencers, namely factory workers’ self-branding practices on the Chinese short-video platform Kuaishou. Through a synthesis of online and offline participatory observation and in-depth interviews, this study explores how Chinese worker-i…
Intensifying separation or collaborative prosperity? The impact of The Belt and Road Initiative on China's urban-rural integration development from a spatial justice lens
The Influence of MuseScore Software on Students' Creative Thinking in Music
As pedagogical training becomes more advanced and intensive, new methods of instruction that incorporate information technology are becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this article is to investigate how using the MuseScore scorewriter to teach solfeggio affects music students' ability to think creatively. The program designed for a quasi‐experimental study was implemented with two groups of students ( N = 87) at the Conservatory of Mu…
Escaping the spectacle? Young women's ambivalence to gender aesthetics on Xiaohongshu
This article examines how Xiaohongshu, a fashion- and lifestyle-orientated online social commerce platform with a predominantly female user base (70%), simultaneously challenges and reinforces conventional beauty standards. While users are positioned within the discourse of 'she power', the platform's framing of empowerment remains deeply contradictory. Drawing on six months of online ethnography and in-depth interviews, this article explores how…
Regulating tuwei culture and migrant youth through Kuaishou's platform governance
This study examines the platform governance of Kuaishou, a popular short‐video and live‐streaming platform that attracts many youngsters from rural areas in China. The platform's economy encourages these migrant youth to participate as content producers, offering them hope for upward mobility. Nevertheless, their cultural practices have frequently faced criticism for being vulgar and low‐brow. This article focuses on the evolving forms of platfor…

Be my boss
This article explores the platformisation of a popular short-video platform Kuaishou and its impact on Chinese migrant youth. Based on 4 years of field observations, this study examines how Kuaishou’s platformisation process has paradoxically empowered and constrained the agency of migrant youth through the construction of ‘hope labour’. This hope labour seeks to benefit from Kuaishou’s attention economy at the expense of growing uncertainty and …
The role of innovative approaches in aesthetic vocal performance

The key objective of the research is to study the role of innovative approaches required for the aesthetic vocal performance. The method of a sociological survey and the SWOT analysis were used to achieve the goal of the study. The study involved 60 students from the Shenyang Conservatory of Music. The role of new technologies in…

Folic acid supplementation, dietary folate intake and risk of small for gestational age in China
Objective: To investigate the hypothesis that folic acid supplementation and dietary folate intake before conception and during pregnancy reduce the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) and to examine the joint effect of folic acid supplementation and dietary folate intake on the risk of SGA. Design: Participants were interviewed by trained study interviewers using a standardized and structured questionnaire. Information on birth outcomes and …
Combined effects of reproductive and hormone factors and obesity on the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis and knee pain among middle-aged or older Chinese women
A high number of pregnancies, oral contraceptives use, and HT are independent risk factors for KOA, and the effects of reproductive and hormone factors on KOA may be increased by obesity
A hybrid mathematical model for urban land-use planning in association with environmental–ecological consideration under uncertainty
Various uncertainties exist in most urban land-use allocation systems; however, they have not been considered in most traditional urban land-use allocation methods. In this study, an interval-probabilistic urban land-use allocation model is developed based on a hybrid interval-probabilistic programming method. The developed interval-probabilistic urban land-use allocation model can deal with uncertainties expressed as intervals and probability di…
Exposure to cooking fuels and birth weight in Lanzhou, China
These findings suggest that exposure to biomass during pregnancy is associated with risk of LBW, and the effect of biomass on LBW may be primarily due to prematurity rather than IUGR
