Revisiting feeling rules
While emotional labour is well-established in hospitality research, existing scholarship predominantly focuses on established employees, largely overlooking how organisational novices navigate professional socialisation. Specifically, how liminal cohorts like interns manipulate organisational feeling rules to convert emotional labour into emotional capital remains underexplored. To address this gap, this qualitative case study examines 30 tourism…
Occurrence of halonaphthoquinone disinfection byproducts in Shanghai’s drinking water and the hepatotoxic effects on lipid accumulation
Introduction In recent years, aromatic disinfection by-products (DBPs) have attracted widespread concern due to their elevated concentration and significant toxicity. Recent studies have identified a new class of DBPs, halonaphthoquinones (HNQs), during drinking water disinfection processes, which exhibit both high occurrence levels and considerable toxicological risks. Methods This study established a liquid–liquid extraction coupled with HPLC-M…
Association between incorrect posture and curve types in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Background Screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has progressed considerably in recent years. However, specific physical indicators for accurately determining spinal curve types are lacking. This study aimed to explore the association between incorrect posture and curve types in AIS. Methods We analyzed data from 10,453 students who underwent full-spine evaluation in the outpatient department between 2022 and 2023. Assessments inclu…
Exploring the evolving relationship between children and youth obesity and depression
OBJECTIVES: Depression, a prevalent mental disorder characterized by prolonged low mood and diminished interest in activities, involves complex interactions among genetic, biological, psychosocial, and environmental factors in its pathogenesis. Notably, the dramatic global surge in children and youth obesity prevalence over recent decades has emerged as a major public health challenge, with growing evidence suggesting potential associations betwe…
First-Person Pronouns in Sustainable Marketing
Service providers frequently use pronouns to enhance communication effectiveness and build stronger relationships with their customers. However, the tourism literature is silent on the effect of pronouns in sustainable tourism marketing messages. Drawing on congruity theory, this research addresses this gap by exploring the role of first-person pronouns (i.e., singular vs. plural) in promoting travelers’ pro-environmental behavioral intention. St…

This study aims to develop and validate a user experience scale to construct an Actual System Use model for online courses based on the Technology Acceptance Model, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the multidimensional factors affecting Learning Outcomes and Actual System Use in the context of online courses. The scale includes six core dimensions: Interactive Experience, Content Quality, Learning Outcomes, Teaching Quality, Technical S…
The effects of paradoxical leadership on employee creativity
Career adaptability and job burnout of pediatric residents
The results showed the importance of addressing sleep disorder to mitigate job burnout among pediatric residents. Comprehensive interventions should include structured career planning, social support system, resilience training, and sleep management programs, with the objective of fostering the well-being and professional satisfaction of pediatric residents, which in turn should lead to improvement in healthcare outcomes
Meaning-Inferencing Versus Meaning-Given Procedures
Inferring the meaning of words and then verifying one's interpretations is widely believed to create relatively strong memories of the items. According to the available research, it is when the inferences are accurate that the learning outcomes are the most promising. The present study extends this inquiry to idioms. Fifty-six ESL learners were presented with 21 English idioms (e.g., toe the line) in brief contexts and they were either prompted t…
Potential and Observed Supply–Demand Characteristics of Medical Services
Hospital selection patterns are essential for evaluating medical accessibility and optimizing resource management. In the absence of medical records, early studies primarily used accessibility functions to estimate potential selection probabilities (PSPs). With the advent of travel data, data-driven functions have enabled the calculation of observed selection probabilities (OSPs). Comparing PSP and OSP helps to leverage travel data to understand …
“You Must Try Our Taco!”
Assertive advertising messages, such as “You must try our taco!” are ubiquitous in the hospitality industry. However, the effectiveness of assertive language as a food advertising strategy is not well understood. Drawing on language expectancy theory, this research examines how language assertiveness shapes consumers’ responses to food advertisements featuring organic versus conventional food. Findings reveal that assertive (vs. nonassertive) lan…
Empowerment or ostracism? The consequences of interpersonal interaction between star employee and team leader
摘要: 通过整合社会相互依赖理论及支配补偿理论, 文章构建了一个被调节的间接效应模型, 以阐释明星员工与团队领导的人际互动后果。通过开展1项情境实验和1项问卷调查研究, 结果揭示:(1)下属明星员工身份通过增强团队领导对下属的信任促进领导授权行为, 抑制领导排斥行为; 下属明星员工身份通过增强领导地位威胁感知促进领导排斥行为; (2)下属的支配性强化了其明星员工身份与团队领导地位威胁感知之间的正向关系, 并进一步促进了领导排斥行为。研究结果不仅验证了明星员工与团队领导人际互动的“双刃剑”效应及其边界条件, 启发人们进一步思考如何构建有利于发挥明星员工价值的工作情境, 还丰富了领导授权与排斥行为的前因研究
The impact of the digital economy on inter-city carbon transfer in China using the life cycle assessment model
The haven paradise hypothesis has been widely supported in the international carbon transfer, but there is still a lack of inter-city evidence. The emergence of the digital economy in recent years has introduced unprecedented opportunities and challenges for carbon emissions reduction and carbon transfer. As the world’s largest carbon emitter and a major player in the digital economy, exploring whether the pollution haven hypothesis exists among …
Association of working hours and cumulative fatigue among Chinese primary health care professionals
Introduction The association between long working hours and cumulative fatigue is widely acknowledged in the literature. However, there are few studies on the mediating effect of working hours on cumulative fatigue using occupational stress as a mediating variable. The present study aimed at investigating the mediating role of occupational stress in the relationship between working hours and cumulative fatigue in a sample of 1,327 primary health …
Is Your Food Organic? Examining the Role of Food Aesthetics in Restaurant Marketing
Many restaurants believe that an aesthetically pleasing food presentation can help attract customers and elevate their evaluations. Yet the effectiveness of expressive aesthetics and the psychological processes associated with its use are not well understood in hospitality research. This study adopts a consumer behavior lens to explore how expressive aesthetics affects consumers’ decision making about organic versus conventional food in the resta…
The Potential Mediating Effects of Inflammation on the Association Between Type D Personality and Coronary Plaque Vulnerability in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE: Type D personality involves the interaction between negative affectivity with social inhibition and has been associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and coronary plaque vulnerability. However, the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between type D personality and coronary plaque vulnerability remain indeterminate. The present study examined the potential mediating effects of inflammation bio…
The Mediating Role of Cumulative Fatigue on the Association between Occupational Stress and Depressive Symptoms
Occupational stress and depressive symptoms are common among professionals in the primary healthcare system, and the former can lead to a more severe level of the latter. However, there are few studies on the mediating effect of occupational stress on depressive symptoms using cumulative fatigue as a mediating variable. The Core Occupational Stress Scale, the Self Diagnosis Scale of Workers' Cumulative Fatigue, and the Patient Health Questionnair…
Brusatol inhibits the growth of renal cell carcinoma by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway
Framing Winter Olympics
The frame analysis of Olympics-related news is quite popular, yet few studies do comparative studies of two Olympics hosted by ideologically similar countries. To fill this gap in the literature, this study examined the similarities and differences of an American news agency CNN’s (Cable News Networks) coverages in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Under the theoretical framework of framing theory, a content analysi…
