This qualitative study applies semiotic theories to analyze graphic health warnings on Philippine cigarette packaging, revealing that while the visual and textual symbols effectively convey ideological health messages, they fail to significantly alter consumer purchasing behavior despite evolving regulatory and promotional landscapes.
The "Nourishing Our Future" programme successfully applied the Knowledge-to-Action framework to improve food and nutrition practices across Essex's early childhood education settings through multi-strategy knowledge mobilisation, resulting in reported positive changes in children's food behaviors, practitioner confidence, and organizational policies, though long-term sustainability remains challenged by funding pressures.
This paper utilizes Social Network Analysis to map the multi-dimensional power dynamics among South Asian nations and China, revealing a core-periphery structure dominated by India, characterized by tight economic interdependence but sparse military ties, and evolving toward a multipolar system through external intervention and alliance balancing.
This paper challenges the view of "nothing else" as a trivial filler by demonstrating, through a multimodal analysis of televised debates and digital interactions, that it functions as a strategic rhetorical device that constructs authority, delimits viewpoints, and prematurely closes argumentative discussions.
This quasi-experimental study grounded in self-determination theory demonstrates that teacher-facilitated integration of generative AI tools significantly enhances behavioral engagement and helps sustain cognitive and emotional engagement among Chinese as a second language learners, whereas conventional instruction leads to declines in these areas.
Drawing on Social Cognitive Career Theory, this study of 381 Chinese undergraduates reveals that AI literacy enhances self-perceived employability by boosting AI competency and career decision-making self-efficacy, with these positive relationships further strengthened by a growth mindset.
This study of 1,332 community-dwelling older adults in China reveals that perceived emotional needs partially mediate the relationship between specific personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) and social participation, highlighting the psychological mechanisms through which personality influences social engagement in later life.
Challenging the binary view of legal identity, this paper analyzes Syrian refugees in Lebanon to demonstrate that fragmented documentation creates distinct patterns of rights and vulnerabilities, necessitating tailored interventions based on specific document ownership constellations rather than a simple presence or absence of identification.
Using incidental Japanese panel data, this exploratory study finds that individuals whose self-reported gender changed across survey waves (a measure of reporting instability rather than identity) exhibit significantly lower subjective well-being, social trust, and career autonomy, alongside a reduced endorsement of both traditional norms and women's empowerment policies.
This study of 218 cancer patients demonstrates that psychological flexibility fully mediates the relationship between resilience and various psychological outcomes, suggesting that interventions targeting psychological barriers and value-based living could effectively enhance mental health in this population.
