Network evolution in subnational epistemic learning during crises
In times of crisis, policy learning is crucial for updating related knowledge and solutions. Epistemic communities take a central lead in the learning process, creating epistemic learning within it. At the subnational level, crises draw both national and local experts into the process; their interactions with one another and with policymakers form policy networks. Rather than remaining static, subnational epistemic learning networks evolve across…
Narrative as Practical Pedagogy
Prevailing moral education theory, shaped by universalist and cognitive paradigms, often fails to connect abstract principles with lived experience, fragmenting the moral self. This paper argues that China’s Four Great Classic Novels form a rich repository of culturallygrounded phronesis (practical wisdom). We propose an analytical framework structured around the Chinese sequence of “lixin, lishen, liye, liming” and elaborated through four dimens…

Effects of Diaspore Traits and Vegetation Structures on Wind Dispersal of Solanum rostratum Using Wind Tunnel Simulations
The effects of diaspore traits and vegetation structure (VS) on the wind‐dispersal processes of an invasive alien tumbleweed Solanum rostratum are not well understood. In this study, we used a wind tunnel to determine the wind velocity required for stem breakage of the plant. VSs of bare ground, desert steppe, typical steppe, and meadow steppe were simulated to determine the threshold wind velocity (TWV) of the plant (diaspore) and to measure dia…
Perception of confucianism, buddhism, taoism in chinese philosophy by heidegger’s triad existences, freud’s triple selves and euler’s identity
Based on the analysis of phenomenology and etymology, we argue that as three different components of Chinese philosophy, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism focus on human beings’ transcendence of behavior, body, and mind, which is made concrete as Ming (name of reputation), Qi (physical body), and Dao(way)-De(virtue), respectively. Chinese philosophy has its own system, but it is still a philosophical component in ontology, and its constituent ele…
The conceptual blending of Laozi’s Dao and its companions with Heidegger’s triad existences
Laozi’s Ming (name), Qi (tangible part) and Dao (intangible part), coexisting in the same substance, can be compared with Heidegger’s triad existences: Seiende (being), Dasein (beings) and Sein (to be). In Laozi, Dao is the essential metonymy for the existence of things from Wu (void, nothing) to You (there is, reality). The effect of Dao is De (virtue) and the combined term of them is Dao-De (morality). By conceptual blend theory, we may draw th…
Temperature‐related factors are the better determinants of belowground bud density, while moisture‐related factors are the better determinants of belowground bud diversity at the regional scale
Belowground bud banks mediate several critical processes in grassland ecosystems under global climate change. However, the functions of belowground bud bank along large‐scale climatic gradients have rarely been reported. This study focused on the temperature and moisture transects at the regional scale to study the spatial pattern of belowground bud banks in grasslands of northern China, with purpose of examining: (1) whether the effects of tempe…
Perceptions on the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic on university students’ wellbeing in Kenya – a thematic analysis approach
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected higher education institutions and students' overall wellbeing in unprecedented ways. This article reports on a study that explored the implications of the pandemic on university students' wellbeing in Kenya. The article utilises a Thematic Analysis approach to understand university students' lived experiences by exploring their perceptions on the implications of the pandemic on three dimensions of students' well…

Epidemics of HIV Infection among Heavy Drug Users of Depressants Only, Stimulants Only, and Both Depressants and Stimulants in Mainland China
Background: Heavy drug users was a global consensus high-risk population of HIV infection. However, the specific impact of drug on HIV infection has not yet been established. Depressants and stimulants were most widely used drugs in mainland China, and mix use of the two drugs was also serious. We assessed the HIV infection rate and trends in heavy drug users by analyzing data from the National Dynamic Management and Control Database for Drug Use…
Perceptions on the internationalisation of higher education in public universities in Kenya and the implications for practice-a phenomenographic approach
The internationalisation of higher education is a dynamic and specific process that is continuously shaped by the context in which it occurs. This article reports on a study that explored perceptions on the internationalisation concept and how it manifests in public universities in Kenya. The article harnesses a phenomenographic analysis approach that aims at revealing the perceptions of both students and academics on the internationalisation phe…
Epidemiological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Methamphetamine—Associated Psychotic Symptoms
Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and the risk factors for methamphetamine (MA)-associated psychotic symptoms among MA users in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between April, 2012 and October, 2015 among individuals for whom MA was the principal drug of use in a Compulsory Drug Detoxification Center in Beijing, Guangdong Province. Demographic, drug use and psychological characteristics were examined u…
The Effect of Family Capital on the Academic Performance of College Students—A Survey at 20 Higher Education Institutions in Jiangsu Province
Based on survey data on college students from 20 higher education institutions in Jiangsu Province, the effects of family capital on the academic performances of college students is analyzed. The study finds that family capital, place of origin, and birthplace clearly affect the academic performance, the chances of being appointed student cadres, the odds of receiving awards, and the English proficiency of college students. Based on this, the aut…
Family Capital Social Stratification, and Higher Education Attainment—An Empirical Study Based on Jiangsu Province
Based on survey data from 14 representative universities in Jiangsu Province, logistic regression is used to analyze the impact of family capital on the quantity and quality of individuals obtaining higher education. The study found that on the whole, family capital has a clearly positive promoting role in the quantity and quality of higher education obtained by children, and the differences in educational opportunities caused by social stratific…
