An empirical study on the influencing factors and mechanisms of contract compliance intention among oriented medical students in China: The case of Hubei Province
BACKGROUND: The shortage of health personnel facing China, particularly in rural areas, has posed a great obstacle to the sustainable development of its health system. The Chinese government has, therefore, implemented the Rural-Oriented Tuition-Waived Medical Higher Education (ROTWMHE) program to address this issue, which recruits and trains medical students (oriented medical students) with contracts to serve in designated areas. This study atte…
Actor in action: A performative stage model for reconstructing teacher professional learning in flipped university classrooms
Flipped university classrooms are widely celebrated for enhancing student engagement and pedagogical innovation, yet the same conditions that empower leaners intensify teachers’ performative demands, exposing instructors to heightened visibility, affective strain, and technologically mediated accountability. This paradox reveals a blind spot in existing Teacher Professional Learning (TPL) scholarship, as neither competency-acquisition nor relatio…

Neighbourhood for Playing: Using GPS, GIS and Accelerometry to Delineate Areas within which Youth are Physically Active
Despite the documented importance of the neighbourhood environment on youth physical activity, little empirical research exists regarding the geographical boundaries of neighbourhoods within which youth are physically active around their homes. Studies and public policies often arbitrarily assume the extent of these boundaries, which vary from study to study. This paper combines GPS data, diaries and accelerometry to delineate empirically the loc…
Modesty can promote trust: Evidence from China
When people let others know about their accomplishments, they can improve their social standing, but doing so may also have a cost, especially within social environments in which there is great emphasis on the value of modesty. One particular downside of self‐promotion, the risk of being seen as untrustworthy, was examined among children in China. Across three studies, children ranging in age from 7 to 11 years (total N = 251) judged the trustwor…

The use of a raindrop aggregate destruction device to evaluate sediment and soil organic carbon transport
Raindrop impact and subsequent aggregate breakdown can potentially change the movement behaviour of soil fractions and thus alter their transport distances when compared against non-impacted aggregates. In a given water layer, the transport distances of eroded soil fractions, and thus that of the associated substances across landscapes, such as soil organic carbon (SOC) and phosphorous, are determined by the settling velocities of the eroded soil…
From export platform to market provider: China’s perspectives on its past and future role in a globalised Asian economy
Since the 1990s China’s development of a market-oriented economy and its engagement with globalisation have given it a role as the primary export platform of a globalised Asian economy. This has not only promoted the exports of capital and intermediate goods of the other leading Asian economies, but has also stabilised the fluctuations of the Asian economy and deepened the regional production networks in the US-dominated global economic system. A…
