Compound hot-humid extreme events and their mortality associations during summer and shoulder months in a subtropical coastal city
Relationship between temperature variability and daily hospitalisations in Hong Kong over two decades
Background: Studies have highlighted the impacts of temperature variability (TV) on mortality from respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases, with inconsistent results specifically in subtropical urban areas than temperate ones. We aimed to fully determine TV-associated health risks over a spectrum of diseases and various subgroups in a subtropical setting. Methods: Using inpatient data from all public hospitals in Hong Kong from 1999 to 2…
Factors affecting outdoor physical activity in extreme temperatures in a sub-tropical Chinese urban population
Among 435 participants (42.8% response rate), over a third of the participants reported decreased outdoor PA level in extreme temperature events, while 10% reported an increase in extreme heat. Self-reported cardiovascular diseases were associated with decreased PA level in extreme cold, while hypertension was associated with unchanged/increased PA level in extreme heat. These results suggest physical activity to be an important consideration in …
An Archive of Action and the Politics of Human Rights
This essay reads Jill Richards’s The Fury Archives and suggests that the monograph reshapes scholarship on human rights struggles by focusing on a feminist politics of action and antagonism instead of a politics of humanitarianism predicated on identity and suffering. The monograph innovatively theorizes what a feminist politics of action might entail, where its sites of struggle occur, and what its temporalities of struggles might comprise
How to Be a Good Reader of World Literature
The title of Gloria Fisk's monograph is somewhat deceptive. Seemingly a throwback to a fast-disappearing species of literary criticism—the single-author study—the book is not that at all. Taking Orhan Pamuk as an exemplary case study, Fisk brilliantly leapfrogs from there to raise broader questions on how the field of world literature is constituted in Euro-American academies and institutions; on what underpins our assumptions when reading litera…
Is “Perceived Water Insecurity” Associated with Disaster Risk Perception, Preparedness Attitudes, and Coping Ability in Rural China? (A Health-EDRM Pilot Study)
Water security is essential for maintaining health and well-being, and for reducing a population's vulnerability in a disaster. Among resource-poor villagers in China, water-related disasters and climate change may increasingly affect people's water security. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived water security and disaster risk perception in a rural ethnic minority community. A cross-sectional household surv…
Association between Ambient Temperatures and Mental Disorder Hospitalizations in a Subtropical City
Background : Mental disorders have been found to be positively associated with temperature in cool to cold climatic regions but the association in warmer regions is unclear. This study presented the short-term association between temperatures and mental disorder hospitalizations in a subtropical city with a mean annual temperature over 21 °C. Methods : Using Poisson-generalized additive models and distributed-lagged nonlinear models, daily mental…

Nation and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century British Novel
Nation and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century British Novel charts how novelists imagined changing forms of citizenship in twentieth-century Britain. This study offers a new way of understanding the constitution of the nation-state in terms of the concept of citizenship. Through close readings, it reveals how major authors such as E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Sam Selvon, Buchi Emecheta, Salman Rushdie, and Monica Ali presente…
The Crisis of Liberalism and the Politics of Modernism
This essay gives a brief overview of the different ways in which literary criticism has understood modernism’s response to the crisis of liberalism that occurred in the early 20th century. Beginning with a historical explanation of the crisis and an account of its stakes for modernist art, the essay proceeds to discuss a central debate among critics that had taken place in the 1930s and that was particularly concerned about the ideological values…
