The effect of digitalization on disaster response in local government
In the context of global climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme natural disasters, enhancing local governments’ disaster response capacity has become a critical challenge worldwide. This study conducted a quasi-natural experiment to examine the effect of smart city (SC) infrastructure, as a key manifestation of local government digitalization, on disaster response times by leveraging China’s national SC pilot policy. Using panel d…

The High Value of Climate Mitigation in Limiting Global Fish Biomass Losses to the year 23
It is widely understood that future climate change will have large deleterious impacts on marine ecosystems. Large synthesis efforts conducted to date by FishMIP with higher trophic level (HTL) models have shown that under high emissions scenarios, future fish biomass losses of the order of 20% can be expected by 2100. However, the impact of anthropogenic climate change beyond 2100 remains largely unexplored, even though policy choices made now w…
Home literacy environment and early bilingual vocabulary development among Chinese–Canadian children
The Emotional Work of Heritage Language Maintenance
Drawing on data from a three-year longitudinal study of 56 Chinese–Canadian families with early elementary school-aged children, this study explores Chinese immigrant parents’ lived-through emotional experiences of heritage language maintenance (HLM). Informed by Vygotsky’s concept of perezhivanie, thematic analysis of annual interview data reveals the mixed and refracted nature of parental emotions involved in Chinese language preservation and b…
Prediction of the potential distribution and preservation of archaeological wooden artifacts in Yangzhou city, China
Language Ideologies in Glocal Contexts
Recent changes in Canada’s immigration patterns have intensified the tension between Cantonese and Mandarin in local Chinese communities. This longitudinal study examines 24 Cantonese-speaking parents’ language ideologies and practices in maintaining their children’s bidialectalism in Cantonese and Mandarin in relation to English and French. Findings revealed a language hierarchy and a shift in their attitudes towards Mandarin over the three year…
An Efficient and Autonomous Planning Scheme for Deploying IoT Services in Fog Computing
The fog computing paradigm is a promising concept to overcome the exponential increase in data volume in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This paradigm can support delay-sensitive IoT applications by extending cloud services to the network edge. However, fog computing faces challenges such as resource allocation for applications at the network edge due to limited resources as well as its heterogeneous and distributed nature. This is in line…
Joint law enforcement mechanism with regard to underwater cultural heritage at sea led by China Coast Guard
Internet usage time and trust in doctors
Although individual-focused literature tends to demonstrate a positive impact of the internet on trust in doctors in China, our study, which focuses on the general public, reveals contrasting results. Our findings imply that the primary manner in which internet usage, encompassing social media usage, influences public trust in doctors is by molding a collective perception of them. Consequently, the medical community may need to take a more proact…

Bilingual Home Literacy Experiences and Early Biliteracy Development among Chinese–Canadian First Graders
This study was designed to examine the role of early bilingual home literacy experiences (HLE) (including parent–child shared reading, parents’ direct teaching in Chinese and English, the availability of books in both languages, and children’s access to digital devices for bilingual learning) in the biliteracy development of 66 Chinese–Canadian first graders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive analyses reveal that overall, parents report hi…
Working memory modulates the anger superiority effect in central and peripheral visual fields
(ASE). The present study investigated whether the ASE could be modified by top-down manipulation of working memory (WM), in central and peripheral visual fields. In central vision, participants held a colour in WM for a final memory test while simultaneously performing a visual search task that required them to determine whether a face showed a different expression from other coloured faces. The colour held in WM matched either the colour of the …
Pre-operative administration of butorphanol mitigates emergence agitation in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery
Background This study explored the effectiveness of pre-operative intravenous injection of butorphanol in the alleviation of emergence agitation (EA) in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Methods Patients ( n = 708) were randomized into two groups. The butorphanol group (Group B, n = 358) received butorphanol infusion (20 ug/kg) before anesthesia induction, while the control group (Group C, n = 350) received an equal …
Home literacy environment and early biliteracy engagement and attainment
This mixed-methods study was designed to examine how different home literacy environments shape gender differences in Chinese-Canadian first graders' (N = 76) bilingual lexical attainment and literacy engagement. Quantitative analyses indicated that girls outperform boys in both Chinese (L1) and English (L2) vocabulary. Gender differences were not associated with the quantity of language exposure at home in either language but rather with the qua…
Chinese legislation on protection of underwater cultural heritage in marine spatial planning and its implementation
Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) means all traces of human existence having a cultural or historical character which have been lain underwater for a certain period of time. Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a major planning tool employed by States for the purpose of coordinating various sea uses and achieving sustainable development of the sea and coastal areas. Among various sea uses, the protection of underwater cultural heritage has often bee…
Early Chinese heritage language learning in Canada
The protection of sunken WWII warships located in Indonesian or Malaysian territorial waters
Countering the poor oral health of people with intellectual and developmental disability
A uniform approach to supporting oral health for people with IDD is unlikely to succeed. A system-based approach is needed to address the diverse needs of the population of people with IDD, their caregivers and service context. Further high quality evidence is required to confirm these findings
