Guardians of science or stewards of society? The role of grant peer reviewer identity in governing socially responsible innovation
As an upstream governance mechanism, grant peer review shapes research agendas and the allocation of public research funds. Despite global policy efforts to embed responsible innovation (RI) into evaluation, an implementation gap persists, partly because the perspectives and judgments of expert reviewers remain under examined. Based on in-depth interviews and experimental vignettes with 28 experienced reviewers in China, this study explores the m…
Explainable deep learning for healthcare workforce attrition
Background: Retaining qualified nurses and allied-health staff has become a central occupational-health concern for modern hospital systems, yet existing attrition-prediction models face a persistent trade-off between predictive accuracy and auditability. The quantitative contribution of modifiable occupational factors-working hours, work environment, compensation, and commuting burden-to individual departure decisions remains insufficiently char…
The Ethical Paradox of Research Valorisation
Driven by the escalating global emphasis on research impact, contemporary science policy has solidified around a valorisation imperative that increasingly treats knowledge as a strategic asset rather than a common heritage. This paper interrogates the ethical paradox that emerges as research outcomes are progressively viewed through the prism of economic utility, clashing with the foundational mission of science as a public good. By conceptualisi…
“Let the algorithms work for you, not against you”
Despite the recent increase in research on algorithmic literacy, how online content creators understand and engage with social media algorithms from a user-centric perspective has been relatively understudied. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 19 online content creators in Singapore, this study examines how online content creators perceive and navigate social media algorithms. Although the workings of social media algorithms remain opaque, onli…
Keeping up with generative AI
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is expected to substantially change users’ established routines of accomplishing tasks, such as information search and content creation. Despite such promising potential, many users are still not incorporating GenAI into their routine internet use. This study draws on the adaptation to information technology (AIT) model to examine how users adapt to GenAI and the influencing factors, including cognitive …
Cost-effectiveness of eHealth-based HIV pre-exposure intervention for recreational drugs using among men who have sex with men in China
In China, implementing eHealth, expanding PrEP, and joint interventions for MSM are cost-effective. Considering funding, social network intervention could be prioritized
Chinese-Style Modernization
Since the 1980s, writes Lu Xinyu, a division between industrial and agricultural labor has grown in China, reflected in the fractured relationship between urban and rural areas. China's successful navigation of the issue, Lu concludes, relies on creating a vigorous alliance between the rural peasantry and urban workers that aids in the ultimate delinking of China from the imperialist, world system. Chinese-style modernization, Lu concludes, repre…
Health impacts of climate resilient city development
Interpregnancy interval, air pollution, and the risk of low birth weight
The study demonstrates a synergistic effect of interpregnancy interval and air pollution on LBW, indicating that rational birth spacing and air pollution control can jointly improve LBW outcomes

Factors Influencing Public Awareness of and Attitudes Toward Palliative Care
Background: The global burden of serious health-related suffering requiring palliative care has been projected to grow significantly by 2060, which indicates the imminent need for integrating palliative care into health systems globally. Moreover, research evidence has been accumulating in support of the earlier adoption of palliative care into the treatment course of serious life-threatening illnesses. However, barriers to earlier access to pall…
Influence of Consumers’ Temporary Affect on Ad Engagement
This study examined the influence of consumers’ temporary affective states during ad exposure on their engagement with different types of ads that are categorized based on theoretically derived attention-grabbing characteristics. A computational research approach was used, cross-analyzing proxy measures of real-time affective fluctuation of viewers during the 2019 Super Bowl broadcast and their tweets regarding the ads aired during the Super Bowl…
Government dissemination of epidemic information as a policy instrument during Covid-19 pandemic
Lessons from Weibo
This paper focuses on the historical relationship between new media development and Chinese politics that led to the formation of the Chinese state’s strategy on media convergence in 2014. Specifically, it analyses a series of influential public controversies in China’s microblog or Weibo sphere in the formative years of Weibo’s development (2011–2012) to reveal the profound class biases, partisan excesses, as well as symbolic violence of Weibo a…
You reap where you sow
This study examines the role of source trust in viral ad diffusion, specifically the impact of source trust on the reach and speed of ad diffusion. It tests the feasibility of using computer-algorithm-generated social media metrics, indicating the degree to which each person is trusted by others within a social network, for trust-based viral ad seeding strategy, and future research on viral advertising. Applying trust theory and the computational…
Cinematic Representation of Ethnic Minorities in PRC and Postcolonialism
This paper explores the notions of “Sinophone” and “Chinese-language cinema” under the rubrics of postcolonialism in Chinese film studies both in China and elsewhere around the world. The paper argues that these postcolonial-inspired notions misconstrue Chinese national identity building as imperialist/colonialist endeavours, and dichotomize Han and Chinese ethnic minorities. The paper offers its counterargument by examining cinematic practices o…

When feminism encounters New Documentary Movement
This article starts with the “encounter” between feminists in the “International Symposium on Chinese Women and Visual Representation” and Chinese documentary filmmaker Xu Tong’s Wheat Harvest, and explores the viewpoints and standpoints of feminist actors. With the analysis of the similarities and differences between the independent documentary perspective and the feminist stance, the author elaborates more deeply on why Chinese female directors…
West of the Tracks
Tiexi—“West of the Tracks”—is a district of Shenyang, the city once known as Mukden. For 50 years it was China's oldest and largest industrial base, a fortress of the socialist planned economy. This chapter examines the significance Wang Bing's decision to look at the death of a heavy industry district that once symbolized the triumph of socialism. It argues that the film demands attention to the price being paid for marketization, in terms of bo…
The New Chinese Documentary Film Movement
The New Chinese Documentary Film Movement is a project unveiling recent documentary film work that has transformed visual culture in China, and brought new immediacy along with a broader base of participation to Chinese media. This volume provides an introduction to the topic of Chinese documentary film, the signature mode of contemporary Chinese visual culture. The chapters here examine how documentary filmmakers have opened up a unique new spac…
Ruins of the Future
West of the Tracks, Wang Bing’s stupendous documentary on the collapse of heavy industry and the fate of workers in China’s North-East, viewed in comparative perspective by a film-critic compatriot. Memories of the battlegrounds of Manchuria, and echoes of Lukács, Benjamin and Hobsbawm, amid the debris of an epoch and its human fall-out
