Western basin, eastern rooting: Localisation of growth mindset among Chinese students from a culturally comparative perspective
Cultivating a growth mindset is an important strategy for the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to improve the core competence of adolescents. The positive driving effect of growth mindsets lies in whether the participants’ cultural context is fully considered in the actualisation process to effectively create a growth-oriented environment. To enhance the core competence of Chinese adolescents with a growth mindset, which was …
Associations between cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome and disability in activities of daily living: A nationwide longitudinal study among the middle-aged and older adults in China
Background: Activities in daily living (ADLs) disability triggered by aging population and chronic diseases in the middle-aged and older adults has become a major public health challenge. Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, as a combination of several chronic conditions, has not yet been studied to explore its association with ADLs disability. We examined the association between CKM syndrome and ADLs disability among middle-aged and o…
Standardization of case definition and development of early-warning model for acute respiratory infection syndromes based on Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform
Background Acute respiratory infection syndromes (ARIs) pose major public health challenges due to their high infectivity, rapid transmission, and the lack of standardized definitions balancing sensitivity and specificity in current surveillance systems. Objective Using data from Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform (YRHIP), we refined ARIs definition, improved classical epidemic criteria and designed a comprehensive graded early-warning …
From genomics to clinical practice: Opportunities and challenges in addressing physical comorbidity in SMI
We have closely examined the recent research by Kapell et al. published in The Lancet Psychiatry, which explores the significance of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for common medical diseases and comorbid physical health conditions in individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) 1 . This groundbreaking research provides significant insights into the convergence of genetics, mental health, and physical comorbidities.The authors utilise polygenic risk…
Sentiment Analysis through the Lens of Systemic Functional Grammar: Bridging Linguistic Theory and NLP
This paper explores the use of M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) in sentiment analysis within Natural Language Processing (NLP). Unlike traditional sentiment analysis, which mainly relies on statistical and machine learning approaches, this research aims to connect linguistic theory with computational methods by utilizing SFG to enhance the depth and clarity of sentiment analysis. SFG’s focus on ideational, interpersonal, and te…
Mapping the Pulse: Heterogeneous Impacts of Human-Scale Street Design on Urban Vibrancy in Four Chinese Metropolises
Urban vibrancy emerges from the complex interplay between individuals and public spaces. Recognizing the importance of capturing people’s experience and perception of streetscape and network configurations, this study investigates the relationship between human-scale street design and urban vibrancy in four Chinese metropolises: Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi’an, and Shenyang. Using a bottom-up metric framework with street view images and spatial design netw…
Ideological Mediation: Metaphor Shifts in Translating the Communist Party of China’s Centenary Speech
Under the guidance of Ideological Square Model, this paper conducts a critical metaphor analysis of the metaphor shifts in translating the Communist Party of China's centenary speech. The results demonstrate that (1) six types of metaphors are identified in the ST and while all the types are kept, shifts do occur in the TT; (2) cultural considerations and linguistic representations engendering the metaphor shifts are subjugated to and mediated by…
Association of PM2.5 and Its Chemical Compositions with Metabolic Syndrome: A Nationwide Study in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Adults
Studies on the association of PM 2.5 and its compositions with metabolic syndrome (MetS) were limited, and it was unclear which was the most hazardous composition. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between PM 2.5 and its compositions with MetS and identified the most hazardous composition. In this study, we included 13,418 adults over 45 years across 446 communities from 150 counties of 28 provinces in nationwide China in 201…
Benefits from disease-burden reduction for type 2 diabetes and obesity through comprehensive regulatory restrictions on phthalate use in China
Air pollution, residential greenness, and metabolic dysfunction biomarkers: Analyses in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey
We found air pollution and greenness had independent and interactive effect on MetS components, which may ultimately manifest in pre-mature mortality. These study findings call for green space planning in urban areas and air pollution mitigation in rural areas

Impact of Smoking Ban on Passive Smoke Exposure in Pregnant Non-Smokers in the Southeastern United States
Prenatal passive smoke exposure raises risk for negative birth outcomes. Legislation regulating public smoking has been shown to impact exposure levels, though fewer studies involving pregnant women have been conducted within the U.S. where bans are inconsistent across regions. This study examined the effect of a ban enacted in the southeastern U.S. on pregnant women's cotinine levels. Additional analyses compared self-reported exposure to cotini…
Factors associated with quality of life among married women in rural China: A cross-sectional study
Dancing with Ideology: Grammatical Metaphor and Identity Presentation in Translation
This paper begins with an account of a high-profile political speech event centring on a Chinese slangy expression ‘[we] bu zheteng ’ when it was used by the then Chinese President Hu Jintao in a 2008 speech, of which the Chinese government preferred a zero-translation despite the existing translations and various choices already available in Chinese-English dictionaries. The paper then discusses from the perspective of grammatical metaphor how a…
New service bonds and customer value in customer relationship management: The case of museum visitors
From interpersonal to international: Two types of translation in the making of implicitness in diplomatic discourse
This article argues that constructing implicitness in diplomatic discourse involves intra-lingual translation in ST. It also argues that inter-lingually translating implicitness in diplomatic discourse sometimes involves a process of intra-lingual translation in TT. A review of implicitness in diplomatic discourse, which often demonstrates a scripted feature, shows that notions of ambiguity, fuzziness, generality, and vagueness put forward by Zha…
Negative Affect and Chemical Intolerance as Risk Factors for Building-Related Symptoms: A Controlled Exposure Study
Objective: To assess whether differences in negative affect (NA) and chemical intolerance (CI) affect responses to chemical mixtures and stress in a controlled experimental model. Methods: Participants were 130 nonsmoking, healthy women, recruited from a university community. Participants completed the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Chemical Odor Intolerance Index. In separate sessions 1 week apart, they were exposed to volatile organ…
Household Air Pollution from Coal and Biomass Fuels in China: Measurements, Health Impacts, and Interventions
OBJECTIVE: Nearly all China's rural residents and a shrinking fraction of urban residents use solid fuels (biomass and coal) for household cooking and/or heating. Consequently, global meta-analyses of epidemiologic studies indicate that indoor air pollution from solid fuel use in China is responsible for approximately 420,000 premature deaths annually, more than the approximately 300,000 attributed to urban outdoor air pollution in the country. O…
