From emotion to action: Investigating the role of affective rhetorical moves in peer feedback implementation in university classrooms
Peer feedback is often used to support peer learning, but implementing feedback has been challenging for students. However, the complexity of affective features within one feedback and their impact on peer feedback implementation remain underexplored. From the perspective of the rhetorical structure theory (RST), this study aims to investigate the affective rhetorical moves of peer feedback and its role in feedback implementation. A total of 69 f…
Different change patterns and sex difference for stroke and its subtypes mortality attributable to tobacco in China from 1990 to 2021
In the past three decades, the risk ratio and ASMR of stroke attributable to tobacco showed the declining trend, and different stroke subtypes exhibited different change patterns in China. There was a gender disparity in the effects of active smoking and second-hand smoke exposure on men and women. Policies aimed at preventing tobacco-related stroke in the future must take the varying effects across different stroke subtypes and genders into acco…

Preparing pre-service teachers for instructional innovation with ICT via co-design practice
Information and communications technology (ICT) is rapidly changing how we teach and how we learn. ICT can not only act as a teaching and learning aid but also reshape the delivery of instruction and bring about changes in education. Research has largely examined the effects of teacher education programs on their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of technology integration and relatively little attention has been paid to their ability to use ICT t…
Spatial differences in soil microbial diversity caused by pH ‐driven organic phosphorus mineralization
Microbial diversity response to abiotic and biotic factors provides a sensitive indicator for estimating the potential stability and degradation of soils in agro‐ecosystems. To determine the effects of pH on organic phosphorus mineralization and microbial diversity, phospholipid fatty acid analysis, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and multiple ecological analyses were performed.
