The differential impacts of domain-specific anxiety on L2 writing performance across different levels of topic familiarity
Learner individual differences can influence performance across various task types and complexity levels. This study explores how domain-specific anxiety affects second language (L2) learners' performance on familiar and less familiar writing tasks. A total of 106 lower-intermediate L2 learners in China completed either a more familiar writing task or a less familiar writing task. The study assessed L2 writing anxiety using the Second Language Wr…
Mpox-HIV co-infection in a low-incidence setting
Objective: Using the first reported case of mpox and HIV co-infection in Qinghai Province, China, as a case study, this paper examines the epidemiological characteristics and transmission dynamics of mpox-HIV co-infection in low-incidence settings, as well as systemic gaps in surveillance, diagnosis, and response. It aims to generate broadly applicable insights for mpox prevention and control in similar low-incidence regions worldwide. Methods: (…
From readiness to collaborative learning
Hong Kong faces population ageing and growing demand for community-based palliative care. The 2023 Advance Decision on Life-sustaining Treatment Bill marks a shift towards autonomy in death and dying, alongside emerging compassionate community initiatives. This article reports the first stage of a Cooperative Inquiry (CI) with the non-profit organisation Forget Thee Not (FTN), which has promoted community-based approaches to dying since 2013. Bet…
Accelerometer-derived moderate-to-vigorous physical activity patterns and incident dry eye disease
To explore the associations between three accelerometer-derived moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) patterns and the risk of dry eye disease (DED). This prospective cohort study included UK Biobank participants who provided a full week of accelerometer-derived MVPA data collected between June 8, 2013, and December 30, 2015. Participants were categorized according to weekly MVPA volume using WHO guidelines (≥ 150 min/week): inactive (< 1…

Dynamic Modeling via Autoregressive Conditional GB2 for Cross-Sectional Maxima of Financial Time Series Data
This paper introduces the ‘autoregressive conditional generalized beta distribution of the second kind’ ( AcGB2) to model the dynamic cross-sectional maxima of multivariate financial times series. The temporal dependence of the resulting univariate maxima time series is characterized by the parameter dynamics of the standard GB2 distribution, which offer versatility in approximating various distributions, including heavy-tailed distributions, thr…
Association between homocysteine levels and cognition in late-life depression
Patients with LLD often exhibit cognitive impairment and elevated Hcy levels. Notably, the association between Hcy and cognitive function is influenced by the patients' baseline cognitive status. This study offers novel insights into the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in patients with depression
A network analysis of facial and vocal emotion recognition deficits in schizophrenia
These findings underscore the importance of emotion recognition impairments in schizophrenia and their strong association with cognitive deficits. Future interventions should focus on targeted cognitive and affective training strategies. Incorporating multimodal assessments into clinical evaluations may enhance diagnostic accuracy

Effects of collaborative vs. individual pre-task planning on EFL learners’ L2 writing
Although many studies have investigated the differential effects of collaborative pre-task planning (CP), individual pre-task planning (IP), and no pre-task planning (NP) on EFL learners’ writing quality, none has explored such effects under the condition of combining IP with CP and whether such potential effects can be transferred to a new writing task. To bridge this gap, the study assigned 120 Chinese college learners to one of the four groups…
Effects of Planning Conditions on L2 Writing in Relation to Task Complexity
Researchers have been investigating the effects of different planning conditions on learners’ second language (L2) writing performance. However, whether such effects differ regarding specific planning conditions and task complexity has remained underexplored. This study examined the effects of pre-task planning (PTP) versus unpressured online planning (OLP) on L2 writing, particularly in relation to task complexity manipulated in terms of the rea…
Homocysteine levels in first-episode patients with psychiatric disorders
A high homocysteine (Hcy) level is a risk factor for schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. However, the role of hyperhomocysteinemia as either an independent factor or an auxiliary contributor to specific psychiatric symptoms or disorders remains unclear. This study aimed to examine Hcy levels in first-episode inpatients with psychotic symptoms and various psychiatric diseases to elucidate the association between Hcy levels and psychia…
Impact of Environment on Pain among the Working Poor
Pain interferes with one's work and social life and, at a personal level, daily activities, mood, and sleep quality. However, little research has been conducted on pain interference and its socioecological determinants among the working poor. Noting the clinical/policy decision needs and the technical challenges of isolating the intricately interrelated socioecological factors' unique contributions to pain interference and quantifying the relativ…

Exploring the Effects of Automated Written Corrective Feedback on EFL Students' Writing Quality
Despite a large number of studies on the adoption of automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems, the effects of automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' writing has been insufficiently documented. This study employed a mixed-method approach to examine such effects because of the significance of AWCF in EFL writing. Using a quasi-experimental design, this study explored how AWCF through Grammarl…

The effect of cognitive flexibility on task switching and language switching
Aims: The present study aimed at investigating whether cognitive flexibility plays the same role in language switching as in task switching. Design: Cognitive flexibility (CF) of 52 low proficiency Chinese (L1)–English (L2) bilinguals was assessed by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task. These bilinguals were then subdivided in 26 high- and 26 low-CF participants. Both groups performed a task-switching (Simon switch task) and a language-switching task…
Effect of Cognitive Flexibility on Language Switching in Non-proficient Bilinguals
摘要: 采用WCST筛选出高低认知灵活性的非熟练汉英双语者, 分别使用图片命名和语义范畴判断任务考察认知灵活性对双语者语言转换的影响。结果发现:(1)高认知灵活性被试的双语转换代价是对称的, 其N2成分的平均波幅和峰值显著大于低认知灵活性被试, 低认知灵活性被试的转换代价是非对称的; (2)高认知灵活性被试在语言产生任务中, L2重复条件下N2的峰值显著大于L1重复条件, 出现L2重复优势效应; (3)在语言理解任务中, 高低认知灵活性被试在L1重复条件下的N2峰值显著大于L2重复条件, 两组均出现了L1重复优势效应。研究表明, 抑制控制能力在语言产生与理解的双语转换中起着重要的作用, 语言转换代价源于心理词典的字词识别系统之外
