AI in design education
Against the backdrop of accelerated reconstruction of the design-education ecosystem by artificial intelligence, this study focuses on the core issue of insufficient adaptability of design-major college students to AI-supported learning environments and examines the factors and mechanisms that influence their adaptability. Through a survey employing a questionnaire, 784 valid responses were gathered and subjected to empirical analysis using a str…
Network toxicology and biolayer interferometry validation reveal the mechanism of Stelleropsis tianschanica Pobed.-induced hepatotoxicity
Clicktivism vs. commitivism
The relationship between movement participation and subsequent vote intention is a central topic in political science. Empirical studies present an ambiguous pattern, with one showing a mobilization argument, while the others suggest movement will substitute formal voting and lead to disengagement. The rise of clicktivism has added further complexity to the debate. However, existing scholarship often treats movement repertoires from the modality …
Are Covid-19 conspiracy theories for losers? Probing the interactive effect of voting choice and emotional distress on anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs
As the COVID-19 pandemic has increasingly become intertwined with politics, emerging studies have identified political orientations as essential drivers behind public endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Yet little is known about the relationship between individuals’ voting choices and their conspiracy beliefs, as well as the psychological mechanism behind them. By introducing affective intelligence theory (AIT) into the conspiracy theory…
China's Strategic Approach to Tech Diplomacy in a Time of Global Uncertainty
In the wake of U.S.‐China technological competition and the COVID‐19 pandemic, “tech diplomacy” has gained prominence in Chinese political and academic discourse. This concept is often ideologically framed to critique Western hegemonic narratives perceived as hindering China's technological advancement. Concurrently, China has embraced a more assertive foreign policy, aiming to increase its global influence and shape international technological n…

Authoritarian Backsliding? Public Support for Liberty Restricting Policies During Covid-19
The Influence of Online Political Expression on Disagreement and Incivility
This study theorized that active political expression on social networking sites (SNS) facilitates political disagreement since it diversifies one’s communication network, which likely leads to political incivility. Additionally, individuals’ social identity might condition this indirect relationship. Relying on a two-wave panel survey in Hong Kong, this study found that political expression on SNS is significantly associated with political disag…
Propagating Covid-19 Conspiracy Theories
Although the growing literature on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) conspiracy theories has highlighted the role of digital media in fomenting beliefs, few studies have examined the influence of the fast-rising far-right media platforms. This study examines and compares the role of conservative media and far-right websites in propagating COVID-19 conspiracy theories and explores an underlying sociopsychological mechanism of political identity.…

The dark web privacy dilemma
The users of the Dark Web require a secure and highly anonymous environment to exchange information while protecting their online privacy, which presents a privacy dilemma. This paper examines the digital footprints of user behavior on the three most popular cryptomarket forums on the Dark Web, namely Silk Road 1, Silk Road 2, and Agora. The results indicate that users who engage in more conversations and employ a wider range of vocabulary are mo…
To Trust or Not to Trust? Exploring the Roles of Facebook and WhatsApp Use and Network Diversity
Grounded in the theory of network-based social capital, this study examined and compared how Facebook and WhatsApp's sociability use connected with generalized trust through the mediation of network diversity. Analyzing data from an online survey of 1,329 Hong Kong residents, this study found that Facebook's sociability use had a positive indirect relationship with generalized trust through increased network diversity, whereas WhatsApp's sociabil…
Bone metastasis risk and prognosis assessment models for kidney cancer based on machine learning
Background: Bone metastasis is a common adverse event in kidney cancer, often resulting in poor survival. However, tools for predicting KCBM and assessing survival after KCBM have not performed well. Methods: The study uses machine learning to build models for assessing kidney cancer bone metastasis risk, prognosis, and performance evaluation. We selected 71,414 kidney cancer patients from SEER database between 2010 and 2016. Additionally, 963 pa…
