This study analyzes four prominent Chinese Digital Nomad Hubs using topic modelling and the Cultural Web model to demonstrate how they function as platform-mediated Communities of Practice that drive rural revitalization through the dual mechanisms of consumption and sociocultural capital accumulation.
This study analyzes spontaneous peri-urban commercial development in Constantine, Algeria, using a novel mixed-methods protocol and spatial indices to reveal distinct agglomeration dynamics and deviations from Western typologies, ultimately proposing a new HOEC model and a Peripheral Commercial Activity Zone for planning in post-socialist Maghreb contexts.
This study reveals that while grant-of-use cooperative housing in Catalonia offers certain health and social support benefits, access to these initiatives is socially stratified by socioeconomic status, migration background, and gender, potentially reinforcing existing inequalities despite the model's affordability goals.
This qualitative case study of Srinagar's Smart City Mission reveals that while smart interventions enhance service efficiency and environmental performance, achieving truly sustainable urban futures requires embedding these technologies within broader participatory and rights-based governance reforms to address risks of exclusion, surveillance, and fiscal unsustainability.
This study of 8,405 UK adolescents found that while most early regulatory problems do not robustly predict later peer relationship functioning, excessive crying specifically at 15–18 months may serve as a sensitive marker for persistent negative self-perceptions of friendship quality during adolescence.
Using data from the ABCD Study, this research finds that while family conflict consistently predicts depressive symptoms in Latino adolescents, neighborhood social vulnerability does not significantly moderate this relationship, highlighting the centrality of family dynamics regardless of community context.
This phenomenological study reveals that despite Ethiopia's constitutional guarantees, the Gamo Zone's failure to implement consistent institutional mechanisms for ethnic minority rights has led to systemic discrimination, perpetuated conflicts, and eroded social cohesion, necessitating an urgent policy and legal reform.
This quasi-experimental study demonstrates that an integrated dual-enhancement training model, combining digital skills and professional literacy, significantly outperforms conventional training in improving employed adults' digital competence, professional attributes, and long-term skill transfer within China's new quality productive forces framework.
This paper argues that to sustain the successful implementation of India's NEP 2020, teacher well-being must be treated as a systemic priority through institutional support and structured resilience interventions, rather than relying solely on individual adaptation to the increased demands of student-centred education.
This exploratory mixed-methods study of 65 international students at the University of Ha'il reveals that while lower-level learners exhibit stronger native-speaker biases and listening anxiety, upper-intermediate and advanced students demonstrate greater acceptance of diverse Arabic accents and dialects, highlighting the critical role of clarity, pedagogical support, and instructor credibility in fostering inclusive language learning environments.
