Divided we fall? Exploring the association between school segregation and post-16 pathways in England
Young people’s educational and occupational outcomes are stratified according to their socio-economic origins. Such background factors are difficult to change, they are presumably not the only determinants of stratified outcomes, and anyway they could be mediated by institutional contexts, particularly who goes to school with whom. This study explores the association between school segregation and post-16 outcomes, using national evidence from En…
Passion for music and absorptive capacity: The mediating role of flow experience and the moderating role of mindset
This study examines the association between passion for music and absorptive capacity through the mediating role of flow experience and the moderating role of mindset. Extending absorptive capacity from its traditional organizational roots to individual learning contexts, the study conceptualizes it as a cognitive capability through which music students recognize, assimilate, and apply domain-specific knowledge. Grounded in self-determination the…
Nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the sexual health of breast cancer patients
Background This study explores the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding the sexual health of breast cancer patients among nurses in Nanjing, China. Methods Conducted from June to July 2023 across six hospitals, this web-based cross-sectional study utilized a self-administered questionnaire, resulting in 252 valid responses, predominantly from female nurses (98.41%). Results The mean scores indicated inadequate knowledge (8.82 ± 5.33)…
An Evaluation of the Attainment Gaps in State Schools in England: Evidence from Next Steps’ Age 25 Sweep Dataset
This paper evaluates the higher education (HE) admissions policy by examining the educational attainment gaps in state schools of young people from different socio-economic backgrounds in England. We analysed data for a cohort of 5192 state-educated young people from the large-scale nationally representative longitudinal Next Steps dataset from 2004 to 2015, linked to the robust administrative National Pupil Database (NPD) for England. The analyt…
The effect of the urban built environment on the prevalence rate of chronic diseases in the community neighborhood level: A case study in Qingdao, China
The findings highlight that optimizing community green spaces, mitigating air pollution, and strategic public investment can reduce chronic disease burdens in high-density urban contexts. This study provides locally relevant empirical evidence for health-oriented urban planning in LMICs and underscores the necessity of integrating environmental, social, and health policies to promote urban health equity
Do academically selective school systems strengthen the link between students’ family backgrounds and the likelihood of higher education participation
Proponents of academic selection argue that academic selection helps children from disadvantaged backgrounds have better lifelong outcomes. However, the evidence needs to be clarified since selections by performance could be a proxy for selection by socioeconomic class. Based on the unique situation in England, where both selective and non-selective systems coexist, we evaluate whether students from selective schools are more likely to continue h…
Research on Land Use and Land Cover Information Extraction Methods for Remote Sensing Images Based on Improved Convolutional Neural Networks
To address the challenges that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) face in extracting small objects and handling class imbalance in remote sensing imagery, this paper proposes a novel spatial contextual information and multiscale feature fusion encoding–decoding network, SCIMF-Net. Firstly, SCIMF-Net employs an improved ResNeXt-101 deep backbone network, significantly enhancing the extraction capability of small object features. Next, a novel PM…
Modern mobile learning technologies in online piano education: Online educational course design and impact on learning
Individuals can learn the art of playing a musical instrument not only in the classroom but also remotely. The main purpose of the paper is to identify the possibilities of an educational online piano course for Chinese students. In the work, it was determined which of the online applications are the most popular in the world for learning. The results showed that the most common are Udemy (25%), Google Class (22%), and Skillshare (17%), which are…
How do academic selection systems affect pupils’ educational attainment? New evidence from an analysis of large-scale data on England
Extensive literature has compared the effect of selective schools with that of non-selective schools on pupil outcomes in England. However, evaluation of selective systems has been sparse and contradictory. From the perspective of educational equity, this study assesses the potential impact of academically selective school systems on pupils’ overall academic outcomes. To do this, we compare pupils’ academic performance in a selective system with …
How institutional resources affect university students’ learning outcomes: Evidence from the 2023 university student learning experience survey in China
Evidence shows that students’ learning outcomes are associated with institutional resources. Whether this phenomenon is universal needs to be tested, as there are cultural differences between countries. We analyse the relationship between resources in higher education institutions and students’ learning outcomes using data from a national survey of 1,142 Chinese undergraduate students. The results indicate that institutional resources can predict…

The Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Insomnia in College Students in Qinghai Province: The Mediating Effect of Rumination
Background: This study investigates the mediating effect of rumination on the associations between depressive symptoms and insomnia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Ruminant Response Scale (RRS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were determined in 12,178 college students in Qinghai province by a questionnaire network platform. Results: The prevalence of insomnia was 38.6% in the participants. Insomnia sy…
