Exploring the roles, tools, and contexts of inservice elementary science teachers: An activity theory perspective
This position paper uses an activity theory ( Blunden, 2023) lens to analyze the work of science teachers in elementary settings. We explore the interplay between teacher identity, teacher goals, and instructional tool use in these settings. Through carefully curated scholarship, we illustrate how teachers form their professional identities through interactions in elementary settings and through leadership roles. We discuss findings on how instru…
Exploring the association of student perceptions of science instruction and emotional engagement: The variance between grade level
Previous research has consistently shown that students have higher learning interests, attitudes, and motivation toward science in elementary school compared to middle and high school. However, the key predictors behind the observed differences in engagement levels across grade levels remain unclear. This study aims to identify the association between students’ perceptions of science instruction and their emotional engagement, as well as to exami…
Local brand aversion or aspiration? The influence of socioeconomic status on Chinese consumer brand preference
Consumers often choose specific brands to express their identity and status. While various factors influence the selection of products from specific countries, this study explores a less examined aspect: the socioeconomic status of consumers. Research indicates that consumers with higher socioeconomic status tend to favor international brands as status symbols. Conversely, other studies suggest that local brands appeal more to certain socioeconom…

From livelihood to livestream: Temporal opportunities of Chinese street vendors
Chinese street vendors use Douyin streaming to navigate precarious livelihoods in a platform economy. While existing research examines digital labor and emerging business models, it overlooks how informal workers manage the dual roles of running offline businesses and livestreaming. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the research develops a “temporal opportunity” framework, identifying three interconnected dimensions: temp…
Economic evaluation of acupuncture in treating patients with pain and mental health concerns: The results of the Alberta Complementary Health Integration Project

The Alberta Complementary Health Integration Project (ABCHIP) aimed to provide acupuncture to youth (aged 24 and under) and seniors (aged 55 and above) experiencing chronic pain, pain management issu…
Connections between low- and high- frequency variabilities of stratospheric northern annular mode and Arctic ozone depletion
Previous studies have demonstrated a dynamical linkage between the ozone and stratospheric polar vortex strength, but only a few have mentioned the persistence of the anomalous vortex. This study uses the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise to decompose the winter stratospheric northern annular mode (NAM) variabilities into relatively low frequencies (>4 months) and high frequencies (<2 months) (denoted as NAM L and…
Relationships between altitude and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults in China: A longitudinal study from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
This finding provides evidence of the relationship between altitude and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adult community populations in China and shows that depressive symptoms are significantly positively correlated with altitude and other factors, including sex, education level, professional status, and marital status
Acute and long Covid-19 symptoms and associated factors in the omicron-dominant period: A nationwide survey via the online platform Wenjuanxing in China

An Examination of the Use of Large Language Models to Aid Analysis of Textual Data
The increasing use of machine learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) opens up opportunities to use these artificially intelligent algorithms in novel ways. This article proposes a methodology using LLMs to support traditional deductive coding in qualitative research. We began our analysis with three different sample texts taken from existing interviews. Next, we created a codebook and inputted the sample text and codebook into an LLM. We asked…
