From policy intent to equitable reach
Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is promoted to improve rehabilitation access and social participation for persons with disabilities. In China, Self-Help and Peer Support for Persons with Disabilities (SHPSPD) service is the hybrid CBR service intended to complement clinical rehabilitation by extending self-help and peer-enabled support into community settings. Its early implementation raises an equity-relevant implementation question: whethe…
Ageing in which place? Spatial analytical framework for evaluating ageing-in-place practices
Social integration and housing behaviours of immigrants
This study investigates the impact of social integration on immigrants' housing behaviours from a temporal perspective, using Singapore's differential public housing policies on immigrants as a quasi-natural experiment. With the support of a local town council, we conducted a survey on social integration among 1128 immigrant and local households living in public housing estates. In the public open rental housing market—primarily accommodating yet…
Post-flood selective migration interacts with media sentiment and income effects
Linked Words, Linked Worlds
This article investigates metaphor in adaptation: not just how individual metaphors may evolve from a source text to its rewrite, but also how metaphoricity features in the rewrite author’s positioning of the two works. Previous research has shown how metaphor can be integral to structuring narrative; this research shows how metaphor could also be key to structuring the intertextuality of narrative. As such, attention is given to the narrative st…

Significant advancement in subseasonal-to-seasonal summer precipitation ensemble forecast skills in China mainland through an innovative hybrid CSG-Unet method
Reliable Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) forecasts of precipitation are critical for disaster prevention and mitigation. In this study, an innovative hybrid method CSG-UNET combining the UNET with the censored and shifted gamma distribution based ensemble model output statistic (CSG-EMOS), is proposed to calibrate the ensemble precipitation forecasts from ECMWF over the China mainland during boreal summer. Additional atmospheric variable forecasts …
Anxiety, depression, and insomnia among nurses during the full liberalization of Covid-19
Introduction: Frontline nurses fighting against the epidemic were under great psychological stress. However, there is a lack of studies assessing the prevalence rates of anxiety, depression, and insomnia among frontline nurses after the full liberalization of COVID-19 in China. This study demonstrates the impact of the full liberalization of COVID-19 on the psychological issues and the prevalence rate and associated factors of depressive symptoms…
Tracing palimpsestic text-worlds of key moments in rewrites of King Lear - A Thousand Acres and Dunbar
In recent years, Text World Theory has been extended and elaborated to explain readers’ understanding of discoursal phenomena where toggling between separate text-worlds is sustained at length, such as extended metaphor and allegory. Similarly, experiencing adaptation, that is, reading a rewrite of a source text, may also involve readers deriving cognitive effects from shifting attention between two ontologically separate sets of worlds throughou…

Relationship Between Dietary Fiber and Vitamin C Intake and Oral Cancer
Background Dietary fiber and vitamin C has been reported to play a possible role in tumorigenesis. However, few studies have estimated their association with oral cancer risk. In this project, we investigated the relationship between dietary fiber and vitamin C and oral cancer risk in adults in Southern China. Methods 382 patients newly diagnosed with oral cancer were matched to 382 hospital derived controls by frequency matching in age and sex. …
Will population exposure to heat extremes intensify over Southeast Asia in a warmer world
Temperature extremes have increased during the past several decades and are expected to intensify under current rapid global warming over Southeast Asia (SEA). Exposure to rising temperatures in highly vulnerable regions affects populations, ecosystems, and other elements that may suffer potential losses. Here, we evaluate changes in temperature extremes and future population exposure over SEA at global warming levels (GWLs) of 2.0 °C and 3.0 °C …
Public transport, noise complaints, and housing
This paper investigates the effect of a new bus route on noise complaints of residents and the influence of noise on housing price. To overcome the challenge of mapping noise data with subjective emotion, we use a novel data source—text‐based noise complaint records from residents in a town in Singapore—and apply natural language processing tools to conduct sentiment analysis. To address the endogeneity concern regarding the bus route, we use a h…

Effect of corona discharge on particle charge characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with Fe-FBC
Four kinds of tested fuels were prepared by adding Fe fuel-borne catalyst (Fe-FBC) to diesel at mass concentrations of 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg, named as Diesel, Fe100, Fe200 and Fe300, respectively. Effects of discharge voltage on particle charge characteristic of diesel exhaust were carried out on a bipolar charge agglomeration test bench. Engine exhaust particle sizer and Zeta potential analyser were used to study the particle number concentr…

A Reformulated Correlated Trait–Correlated Method Model for Multitrait–Multimethod Data Effectively Increases Convergence and Admissibility Rates
The correlated trait–correlated method (CTCM) model for the analysis of multitrait–multimethod (MTMM) data is known to suffer convergence and admissibility (C&A) problems. We describe a little known and seldom applied reparameterized version of this model (CTCM-R) based on Rindskopf’s reparameterization of the simpler confirmatory factor analysis model. In a Monte Carlo study, we compare the CTCM, CTCM-R, and the correlated trait–correlated uniqu…
Agent‐Based Modeling of Temporal and Spatial Dynamics in Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment
Current aggregate and top‐down approaches in life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) generally fail to account for spatial, temporal, and emergent behavioral dynamics simultaneously during the inventory stage. We discuss the key characteristics captured by complex system approaches (agent‐based modeling [ABM] in particular) in the context of LCSA. It is understood that by integrating ABM, temporal, spatial, and behavioral dynamics can be addr…
Applications of structural equation modeling (SEM) in ecological studies
This review was developed to introduce the essential components and variants of structural equation modeling (SEM), synthesize the common issues in SEM applications, and share our views on SEM’s future in ecological research. We searched the Web of Science on SEM applications in ecological studies from 1999 through 2016 and summarized the potential of SEMs, with a special focus on unexplored uses in ecology. We also analyzed and discussed the com…
Convergence, Admissibility, and Fit of Alternative Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models for MTMM Data
We compared six different analytic models for multitrait–multimethod (MTMM) data in terms of convergence, admissibility, and model fit to 258 samples of previously reported data. Two well-known models, the correlated trait–correlated method (CTCM) and the correlated trait–correlated uniqueness (CTCU) models, were fit for reference purposes in comparison to four other under- or unstudied models, including (a) Rindskopf’s reparameterization of the …
Policy shifts influence the functional changes of the CNH systems on the Mongolian plateau
By applying the concept of the coupled natural and human system (CNH), we compared spatiotemporal changes in livestock (LSK), land cover, and ecosystem production to understand the relative roles that natural and social driving forces have on CNH dynamics on the Mongolia plateau. We used socioeconomic and physical data at prefecture level for Inner Mongolia and Mongolia from 1981 through 2010 to represent changes in net primary productivity (NPP)…
