摘要：
Epidemic shocks have brought the issue of household economic vulnerability to the fore. Furthermore, an urgent need to establish a long-term mechanism to particularly help low-income groups cope with risk shocks, and minimum wage policies should be able to play an important role. Therefore, based on CHFS panel tracking data in 2015, 2017, and 2019, the impact of the minimum wage increase on household economic vulnerability and its mechanism of action is empirically tested. We found that for every 10% increase in the minimum wage, the probability of economic vulnerability occurring in the household economy decreases by 2.81 percentage points because the minimum wage increase raises the household income level of low-income groups, improves the health status of household members, and increase their commercial health insurance, emergency savings and financial capital stock. This impact is more significant for rural households, households in areas with high marketization levels, better rule of law levels and with low education levels. The article's research helps to comprehensively analyse the welfare effects of minimum wage policies and expand the policy options for helping low-income groups cope with risk shocks.(c) 2023 Economic Society of Australia, Queensland.

摘要：
This paper studies the transmission of oil price uncertainty (OPU) shock to real economic activities by focusing on the role of financial condition. We find that financial stress is an important link in the propagation of OPU shock based on China’s macro- and firm-level data. We document significant decrease in real economic activities as oil price uncertainty increases by using SVAR, and further suggest that the contractionary effect of oil price uncertainty is more pronounced under high financial stress. Firm-level evidence consistently shows that heightened financial distress cost – resulted from oil price uncertainty – suppresses investments. OPU shock may cause financial distress through mechanisms of credit crunch, firm volatility and exchange rate uncertainty.
摘要：
Although the differences in human behavior while staying in a hotel room appear to have been established and are distinctive, little is known about the underlying factors that drive these changes, particularly in relation to environmental sustainability. Through in-depth interviews with 43 tourists, this study identified three degrees of unusual behavior in hotels: nearly completely unusual, transitional, and approximately usual. Using a grounded theory approach, we developed a "habitus-environment" model that explains how tourists change their behavior in response to unusual environmental stimuli and further elucidates the reasons why tourists "change for the better (or worse)" in terms of environmental sustainability. The model incorporates three types of tourist habits and five distinct features of hotel environments. These findings can inform hotel managers and policymakers about how to encourage sustainable behaviors among tourists, ultimately contributing to the long-term viability of the hotels.

摘要：
This paper traces the changing perceptions of language in sociolinguistics. These perceptions of language are reviewed in terms of language in its verbal forms, and language in vis-a-vis as a multimodal construct. In reviewing these changing perceptions, this paper examines different concepts or approaches in sociolinguistics. By reviewing these trends of thoughts and applications, this article intends to shed light on ontological issues such as what constitutes language, and where its place is in multimodal practices in sociolinguistics. Expanding the ontology of language from verbal resources toward various multimodal constructs has enabled sociolinguists to pursue meaning-making, indexicalities and social variations in its most authentic state. Language in a multimodal construct entails the boundaries and distinctions between various modes, while language as a multimodal construct sees language itself as multimodal; it focuses on the social constructs, social meaning and language as a force in social change rather than the combination or orchestration of various modes in communication. Language as a multimodal construct has become the dominant trend in contemporary sociolinguistic studies.
摘要：
This study examines the evolution of current interests and emerging characteristics in library and information science (LIS) from Chinese iSchools, including an analysis of the LIS landscape, space distribution, citation, emerging characteristics, and collaborations. This study considers a non-parametric approach to outline the structure of the iSchool movement in China, while clustering analysis helped us obtain information about the descriptions generated within unsupervised learning groups. It was found that Chinese iSchools play an intermediary role in the international development of Chinese LIS, which further promotes the dissemination and exchange of knowledge and international cooperation in LIS.

摘要：
Role assignment and group size are important design considerations for conducting effective asynchronous online discussion (AOD). While these two design considerations have been investigated separately in literature, few studies have examined their combined effects in AOD. To address this research gap, this study conducted a two-level factorial experiment to determine the main effect and interaction of role assignment and group size on AOD participation, learning experience, and learning achievement. A total of 112 participants from an undergraduate blended course were randomly assigned to four experimental conditions: role-based small-group (n = 27), role-based medium-group (n = 30), role-free small-group (n = 27), and role-free medium-group (n = 28). The ANOVA results showed that the simple role structure of initiator, supporter, and arguer increased the overall participation and peer interaction in AOD, while the group size of three members led to slightly better learning achievement. No significant interaction effects or role-specific effects were identified, indicating that students can benefit from role-based AOD regardless of group size and role script. The study results can inform the design and implementation of effective AOD.

摘要：
Well-being is an important indicator of an individual's mental health and each individual plays an agency role in their own well-being attainment. Empathy, as a positive emotional quality at the individual level, facilitating the establishment and maintenance of individual interpersonal relationships according to the interpersonal theory of empathy. This study investigated the relationship between empathy, social support and subjective well-being in a total of 191 children and adolescents with deaf and hard of hearing in two boarding special education schools after experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic from Henan Province of China. The results indicated that social support mediates the role of empathy and subjective well-being. The mediating role of social support between empathy and subjective well-being was mainly manifested as peer support rather than teacher support. Fostering empathy and creating a positive social support network among adolescents with deaf and hard of hearing would be effective in enhancing their subjective well-being.
摘要：
Background: As a global trauma event, the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hugely impacts people's mental health and well-being. The purpose of our study is threefold: first, investigate the relationship between exposure to COVID-19 and life satisfaction among a large sample in China; second, test the mediating role of hyperarousal in the association between exposure to COVID-19 and life satisfaction; third, explore the moderating/mediating role of affective forecasting in the association between hyperarousal and life satisfaction.Method: The current study recruited 5546 participants to complete a set of self-report questionnaires online from April 22, 2020 to April 24, 2020. The moderated mediation and chain mediation model analyses were conducted using the SPSS software and PROCESS macro program.Results: Exposure to COVID-19 negatively predicted life satisfaction (Effect = -0.058, p < 0.001). This rela-tionship was partially mediated by the hyperarousal level (Effect = -0.018, CI = [-0.024, -0.013]). The moderating role of forecasted positive affect (PA)/forecasted negative affect (NA) between hyperarousal and life satisfaction was significant (beta = 0.058, CI = [0.035, 0.081]; beta = 0.037, CI = [0.014, 0.06]). The chain mediating effect of hyperarousal and forecasted PA/forecasted NA on the relationship between exposure to COVID-19 and life satisfaction was also significant (Effect = -0.003, CI = [-0.004, -0.002]; Effect = -0.006, CI = [-0.008, -0.004]).Limitations: The cross-sectional design precludes causal inference.Conclusion: Greater exposure to COVID-19 was associated with more severe hyperarousal symptoms, decreased life satisfaction. Forecasted PA and forecasted NA could moderate and mediate the negative impact of hyper -arousal on life satisfaction. The moderating/mediating role of forecasted PA/NA implied that future in-terventions targeting at improving affective forecasting and reducing hyperarousal might be helpful to improve life satisfaction during the post-COVID-19 era.

摘要：
Urban forests are highly fragmented in mega-cites, acting as islands in terms of preserving species diversity. To maintain the ecological services of urban forests, management measures such as reforestation have been implemented, which might have a long-term effect on biodiversity. To understand how fragmentation and reforestation affect the natural regeneration of urban forests, we investigated the relationship between forest area, isolation and seed dispersal mode and the diversity and composition of woody species at the tree, seedling, and sapling stages in 28 secondary forests of the mega-city of Wuhan, China. We found that the alpha diversity of woody species was positively correlated with forest area, while their beta diversity was negatively correlated with forest area. The beta diversity of nonanimal-dispersed species significantly correlated with isolation. Animal-dispersed plants had consistently a higher alpha diversity from trees to seedlings and saplings, while their beta diversity was lower than nonanimal-dispersed plants at the seedling and sapling stage. The community composition of woody plants in urban forests was largely congruent among the three life stages. However, only the communities of animal-dispersed plants were consistent across life stages in small or highly-isolated forest patches. The results show that the woody plant diversity of urban forests is largely similar to that expected by island theory. Animal-dispersed trees are more likely to regenerate successfully due to a more diverse set of species used in reforestation and their higher tolerance to urban forest fragmentation. More management measures for nonanimal-dispersed species, such as enriching and repeating reforestation, will be required to maintain their high biodiversity in urban forests.
摘要：
The COVID-19 epidemic is a novel collective traumatic event. Different types of traumatic events lead to different symptomatic structures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To understand the symptom structure of PTSD in the context of this particular traumatic event and its possible development, we explored the interrelationships among PTSD symptoms and the interrelationships between PTSD symptoms and anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and quality of life. Participants were recruited from the psychological assistance hotline platform based at Central China Normal University. 308 participants who met the provisional diagnosis of PTSD were included in the analysis. This study estimated the interrelationships among PTSD symptoms, with the symptom in addition to four covariates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and quality of life by network analysis to construct Gaussian graphical models and directed acyclic graphs. The core of the PTSD symptom network was nightmares. Five pairs of symptoms showed the strongest connections: Hypervigilance and exaggerated startle response, avoidance of thoughts and avoidance of reminders, negative beliefs and negative trauma-related emotions, nightmares and flashbacks, and flashbacks and emotional cue reactivity. The network did not change significantly with the inclusion of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and quality of life. Nightmares may be the core of the development of PTSD resulting from the COVID-19 epidemic. In this particular context, interventions for PTSD focus on nightmares may contribute to the relief of other symptoms and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the intervention.

摘要：
The source construction and the pathway for the formation of English epistemic adverbials are widely discussed in the literature. However, few studies to our knowledge have specifically discussed a hypothetical source construction of separate clauses and a hypothetical initial-to-medial pathway. Chinese guoran was first used as a separate clause, and later developed into an epistemic adverbial meaning ‘it really happens’. Diachronic investigations reveal that it followed a hypothetical initial-to-medial pathway leading from a clause-initial position to a clause-medial position. The hypothetical source construction and the hypothetical pathway are supported by diachronic changes of other epistemic adverbials in Chinese, and may be adopted to account for the formation of some epistemic adverbials in the other languages.

摘要：
Automatic short-answer grading has been studied for more than a decade. The technique has been used for implementing auto assessment as well as building the assessor module for intelligent tutoring systems. Many early works automatically grade mainly based on the similarity between a student answer and the reference answer to the question. This method performs well for closed-ended questions that have single or very limited numbers of correct answers. However, some short-answer questions ask students to express their own thoughts based on various facts; hence, they have no reference answers. Such questions are called semi-open-ended short-answer questions. Questions of this type often appear in reading comprehension assessments. In this paper, we developed an automatic semi-open-ended short-answer grading model that integrates both domain-general and domain-specific information. The model also utilizes a long-short-term-memory recurrent neural network to learn the representation in the classifier so that word sequence information is considered. In experiments on 7 reading comprehension questions and over 16,000 short-answer samples, our proposed automatic grading model demonstrates its advantage over existing models.
摘要：
I aim to provide a typological investigation of the General Noun-modifying Clause Construction (NMCC) in languages other than those of Eurasia. I show that the five properties proposed by Matsumoto et al. as potentially correlating with the General NMCC are rather areal features which are falsified by the data of languages from Africa and Europe. The semantic interpretability condition and the syntactic licensing condition of the General Noun-modifying Clause Construction need reconsidering. Semantically, I argue that the interpretability of the General NMCC depends both on the semantics of the head noun and that of the modifying clause because they show close interaction with each other. Syntactically, I propose three general syntactic properties of the languages with the General NMCC, i.e. (1) no relative pronouns or relative pronouns in competition with a general clause marker, (2) complex subordinate locutions composed of the general clause marker(s) (and a head noun), and (3) unified verb forms in subordination.
