    Abstract The Chinese government aspires for inclusive education to serve as an exemplary model in addressing educational inequity issues and establishing a responsible global image as a major power. Nevertheless, there has been limited focus on China's news media coverage concerning its inclusive education initiatives aimed at international audiences. To bridge this gap, this study employed a corpus-assisted critical discourse analytic approach to examine China's self-image in relation to its inclusive education endeavours. Seventy-three English-language news articles from the official channel were retrieved for meticulous line-by-line concordance analysis. The results indicate that out of the 520 co-occurring instances, they can be broadly categorised into four groups: efforts to develop inclusive education (65.4%); consensus on benefits of inclusive education (24.5%); challenges faced by inclusive education (4.8%); and others (5.4%). This study illuminates the effective utilisation of official media in the image construction of inclusive education in China.

    Abstract As a prevalent epigenetic modification, the role of m6A has been increasingly highlighted in the alteration of numerous RNAs implicated with multiple biological processes, such as formation, export, translation, and degradation. With further the understanding of m6A, accumulating evidence shows that m6A modification similarly affects metabolic process of non-coding genes. But the specifical interplay of m6A and ncRNAs (non-coding RNAs) in gastrointestinal cancers still lacks complete discussion. Thus, we analyzed and summarized how ncRNAs affect the regulators of m6A and by what means the expression of ncRNAs is altered

    Abstract Many studies have investigated language poverty related to aspects of economic assistance, water scarcity, gender inequality, climate change, etc. However, a focus on language policy discourse has been lacking. Language policy discourse is vital because it can be deemed as preliminary to language poverty alleviation action, influencing the success of its implementation. To fill this gap, this study employed positive discourse analysis to investigate discursive strategies used in the discourse of language poverty alleviation in Chinese language policies. The finding shows that through four main discursive strategies-nomination, argumentation, perspectivisation, and predication-official documents concerning language poverty alleviation constructed motivational discourse and applied campaign-style mobilisation to encourage people to follow the implementation of language poverty alleviation. This study sheds light on the official purpose of using certain discursive strategies in language poverty alleviation discourse and some ideological implications behind it and sets an example of the popularisation of official languages to tackle poverty alleviation from a linguistic perspective for other countries/regions.

    Abstract Previous studies have examined WATER metaphors in different discourses, yet there has been limited focus on understanding the functions of these metaphors in constructing discourses. To address this research gap, the present paper utilised the metaphor identification procedure developed by the Pragglejaz Group and the Weak Differentiating Model to investigate WATER metaphors in the Coronavirus Corpus. The study reveals that WATER metaphors can be used flexibly for multiple purposes. These include explaining the many pandemic stages, describing the occurrence and performance of the pandemic, explaining how COVID-19 affects human life, rallying the public to take precautions against contagion, and communicating risk. This research highlights the diverse functions that WATER metaphors served in conveying intricate information and influencing public perceptions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Traditional eddy current technology identifies metal information with information of single frequency of limited frequency spectrum. To solve existing problems, this paper proposes a discrete wavelet transform-based metal material analysis model by using a constant phase angle pulse eddy current (CPA-PEC) sensor which collects and depicts metal feature information from multiple dimensions; then, the quantification calculation model of metal material by CPA-PEC feature is presented; finally, an experimental platform is built to collect the CPA-PEC features of various metal samples and verify recognition accuracy of the proposed metal material analysis model. In the investigation, 1000 eddy current signals from four standard metals (Cu, Fe, Al, St) and three types of metallic irons (Fe-K162, Fe-K163, Fe-K240) are measured and the features are identified by discrete wavelet transform. The feature correlation and significance are determined by regression analysis. Finally, the calculation model of feature evaluation index is present. The experimental analysis indicates that the stability of the quantitative evaluation index of eddy current features reaches 97.1%, the comprehensive accuracy error is less than 0.32% and the average measurement speed is about 50 ms for 1000 random sampling tests on standard metals.

    Abstract Urban waterfront renewal, especially public space improvement, is important for regaining waterfront space vitality. However, existing studies constrained by sparse and hard-to-access data are hard to explore how changes in spatial elements during waterfront renewal would affect space vitality. Waterfront space vitality comprises social vitality represented by public behaviors and economic vitality represented by urban functional facilities. Taking the Maozhou River renewal project in China as an example, we collect spatial elements and vitality on corresponding periods in 2018 and 2020 (before and after the renewal construction) and use multiple linear regression models to assess the relationships. We find that the functional diversity (e.g., commercial and cultural facilities) and design quality (e.g., path density and the shoreline’s proximity to the water) are the two most influential spatial elements affecting space vitality during waterfront renewal. Overall, the use of two-time datasets has generated strong evidence for measuring waterfront revitalization.

    Abstract This study examined the influencing factors of digital participation, including digital skills, interpersonal communication, online immersion and mediating roles of online interpersonal communication and online immersion. This study selected 1,204 samples from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey. Amos 26.0 was used to test the theoretical model using the structural equation model (SEM). The study found that digital skills positively affect digital participation, digital skills positively affect online interpersonal communication and online immersion, and online interpersonal communication and online immersion positively affect digital participation. Online interpersonal communication and online immersion were found to significantly mediate the nexus between digital skills and digital participation. Moreover, income was found to be no longer a significant factor in the relationship of digital skills on digital participation. This study found the mediating roles of online interpersonal communication and online immersion between digital skills and digital participation, which was not available in previous studies. This result proved that the interaction between participants and the subjective immersive experience via the network are crucial for digital participation, and that the close information communication with different populations and an immersive network environment can facilitate the interactive expression of participants in cyberspace. The study also found that at least in China, the income gap is no longer a major factor affecting the relationship between digital skills and digital participation.
