Negotiating the Complexities and Polysemy of the Notion of Interculturality in Higher Education: Views from Students at a Minority-Serving Institution
Authors: Yuan Mei , Dervin Fred , Mi Junkui , Chen Ning 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The notion of interculturality is complex and polysemous in global research and education. Considering the turbulent times that the world has experienced in recent years, it is increasingly important to confront and enrich this significant scientific notion to make it more inclusive and epistemologically diverse. This paper has two main objectives. First, it reviews the current state of the global literature on the notion of interculturality in education published in English, observing how different ideologies occupy the field—from dominating voices to ‘minor’ ones which are more glocalized (global + local). On the basis of this review calling for more ‘minor’ voices to be heard, the core of the paper is based on the analysis of discussions between Chinese students at a specific institution of higher education (a ‘minority-serving institution’ or Minzu University) in China, where students from the 56 different Minzu groups of China live, study and cooperate together. The glocal ideology of Minzu (often mistranslated as ‘ethnic’ in English), a form of interculturality, is specific to this context and has not been systematically researched. Three groups of students with different ‘Minzu/ethnic’, linguistic and study profiles were paired together to discuss what interculturality could mean and entail. Three interrelating layers of discourses were identified through a dialogical discourse analysis of what the students co-constructed together: glocality, politics and philosophy of life for all. In general, the students demonstrated a nuanced understanding of interculturality that intersected partly with global academic discourses of interculturality. Their insights contributed advanced reflections and critical thoughts on the notion, highlighting the need for a collaborative and innovative approach to its understanding and utilization.
Examining Second Language (L2) Learners’ Engagement with AWE-Teacher Integrated Feedback in a Technology-Empowered Context

Published: June 2024

AbstractWhile studies on teacher written feedback and automated writing evaluation (AWE) feedback have proliferated in recent decades, little attention has been paid to how AWE-teacher integrated feedback would influence students’ engagement and their writing performance in second language (L2) writing. Against this backdrop, a quasi-experimental design was adopted to address this important gap. In our study, an intervention was implemented in two classes of English major sophomores in China, with a treatment group receiving AWE-teacher integrated feedback and a comparison group receiving teacher feedback. Data were collected from multiple sources over a 13-week semester to explore the Chinese EFL learners’ engagement with the integrated feedback and their writing performance. Results showed that the students in the treatment group engaged with feedback more profoundly in behavior and cognition than those in the comparison group while both groups demonstrated similar affective engagement. Furthermore, compared with the comparison group, the treatment group improved their writing performance in content, organization, vocabulary, and language use significantly. Important implications are also discussed.

AbstractThe aim of this study is to analyse the development of communication and cooperation in three different kinds of dyads: a western human dyad, a chimpanzee dyad, and a dyad composed of a human and a baby chimpanzee. These three different kinds of dyads participated in this research. We observed them for 12.37 h, 9 h, and 10.6 h, respectively, using narrative register and/or video tape recordings. The results show the different roles that objects play in their interaction. In the first case, the objects were used but did not catch the partners’ attention; in the second, the baby chimp asked the person who had engaged with her previously in interactive formats, for an object. In the last case, the objects were not only asked for but also made the centre of communicative acts, for which this communication had the only aim. However, the communicative repertoires of the baby chimpanzees that were analysed did not include protodeclaratives, and their expressions were dependent on contexts. The other characteristics of their social and communicative development are discussed.
The international system and the clash of world orders
Authors: Sakwa Richard 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn 1945, humanity came together to create the Charter International System. It expressed the hope that after the most catastrophic war the world had yet seen, a superior system of international relations could emerge. The ‘spirit of 1945’ gave rise to the United Nations and its foundational Charter, reinforced subsequently by numerous declarations, protocols and conventions. The system delivers many public goods, including the system’s specialised agencies, but above all by establishing the normative and legitimate framework for the conduct of international politics. The Charter system today faces unprecedented challenges. The tension between the multilateralism and normative aspirations for peace and development represented by the Charter system and the competitive practices of international politics has become a contradiction and possibly an antinomy—an irreconcilable difference. The creation of competing blocs (world orders) in Cold War I prevented consensus on fundamental matters, however, all sides proclaimed their allegiance to the Charter system. When the Soviet bloc disintegrated in 1989–1991, the Charter system faced a new challenge—the quest for global hegemony of the remaining world order, the Political West led by the US. This bloc claimed certain tutelary privileges, formulated initially in terms of a ‘liberal international order’ and later in the form of the ‘rules-based order’, over the Charter International System. This resulted in conflicts and even wars, but is today countered by the emergence of a Political East. Cold War II today is more challenging and dangerous than the first, primarily due to the threat posed to the very existence of the Charter systems and its norms.

Published: June 2024

AbstractIncreasing evidence suggests that within-person variation in affect is a dimension distinct from mean levels along which individuals can be characterized. This study investigated affect variability’s association with concurrent and longitudinal mental health and how mean affect levels moderate these associations. The mental health outcomes of depression, panic disorder, self-rated mental health, and mental health professional visits from the second and third waves of the Midlife in the United States Study were used for cross-sectional (n = 1,676) and longitudinal outcomes (n = 1,271), respectively. These participants took part in the National Study of Daily Experiences (NSDE II), where they self-reported their affect once a day for 8 days, and this was used to compute affect mean and variability. Greater positive affect variability cross-sectionally predicted a higher likelihood of depression, panic disorder, mental health professional use, and poorer self-rated mental health. Greater negative affect variability predicted higher panic disorder probability. Longitudinally, elevated positive and negative affect variability predicted higher depression likelihood and worse self-rated mental health over time, while greater positive affect variability also predicted increased panic disorder probability. Additionally, mean affect moderated associations between variability and health such that variability-mental health associations primarily took place when mean positive affect was high (for concurrent mental health professional use and longitudinal depression) and when mean negative affect was low (for concurrent depression, panic disorder, self-rated mental health, and longitudinal self-rated mental health). Taken together, affect variability may have implications for both short- and long-term health and mean levels should be considered.
Role of electrochemical cell configuration on the selectivity of CuZnAl-oxide-based electrodes for the continuous CO2 conversion: aqueous electrolyte vs. catholyte-less configuration

Published: June 2024

AbstractThis research is a significant step forward in understanding how the electrochemical cell setup influences CO2 conversion. The performance of Cu–Zn–Al metal oxide-based catalysts was compared in two reactor configurations: a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) cell with an aqueous electrolyte and a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) cell operating in the gas phase without catholyte. The different operations induced significant morphological and crystalline structural changes, profoundly impacting the catalytic behaviour. The MEA configuration, for instance, led to the formation of a higher Cu0/Cu1+ ratio in the catalysts, promoting C–C coupling for C2H4 production. Conversely, the GDE operation favoured alcohol (ethanol and methanol) production by balancing copper oxidation states formed in situ in the presence of the aqueous catholyte. Zn and Al oxides also played a role in stabilising the resulting Cu species, some of which remained oxidised on the electrode surface. These findings underscore the crucial influence of varying cell operation conditions on catalyst reconstruction, shaping the quantity of Cu0 + Cu1+ species formed in situ to tailor catalyst selectivity.

Published: June 2024

AbstractRecently, the field of lightweight cryptography (LWC) has emerged in response to the security needs of low-cost, widely used technology. It is essential to implement an encryption approach with access control to give less complex, more flexible, and safe access to sensitive data. In this work, a novel lightweight chaotic encryption approach with fuzzy access control is presented to encrypt light images in the IoT domain, while maintaining image quality. With the aid of multiplexer modeling and information shift register technology, the algorithm’s design combines random and chaotic mapping approach based on a specific password key with a predetermined number of fuzzy logic shifts on the password key for the image pixels. Further, to extract the private key with complexity and boost defense against attacks, a shift register and logical xor combination is employed. The simulation of the proposed model for AVR microcontroller has been done under MATLAB software and the design of various encryption components has been used to implement lightweight mapping. The proposed system has been evaluated in terms of histogram analysis, adjacent pixel correlation analysis, contrast analysis, homogeneity analysis, energy analysis, NIST analysis, error mean square analysis, information entropy, pixel number change rate, integrated mean change intensity, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and time complexity. Remarkably, the proposed technique has demonstrated high efficiency. The simulation results show that the homogeneity, energy, contrast, NPCR, and UACI criteria have improved by 11.5%, 13.1%, 19%, 0.53%, and 0.12%, respectively, compared to other methods in other articles.
Tectonic Evolution of the Proto‒Tethys in the Early Devonian: Insights From the Turbidite in the North Qilian Belt, NW China

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe Devonian tectonic setting is still controversial in the Proto‒Tethyan North Qilian belt. The Hexi Corridor of the North Qilian belt occupies a key position in constraining the tectonic evolution of the Proto‒Tethyan Ocean and the growth of the Asian continent. Turbidites, as an important component of the Jiayuguan mélange in the Hexi Corridor, consist of conglomerate, pebbly sandstone, sandstone, siltstone, calcareous mudstone, and chert that feature typical Bouma sequences of Ba, Bc, Bcd, Babc and/or Bab. They are strongly deformed into NW‒trending folds with NE‒ and SW‒inclined thrust faults. Detrital zircon U‒Pb dating results demonstrate that these sediments successively young to the southwest with maximum depositional ages (MDA) ranging from 560 Ma to 411 Ma, indicating that the youngest block was deposited after 411 Ma. Petrological, geochemical and detrital zircon U‒Pb age data indicate the sedimentary rocks provenanced from weak weathering, recycling, and multiple mixing sources, and that the dominant source was the Andean‒type Alxa arc. Together with the published data, we suggest that double‒sided subduction of the North Qilian Ocean (Proto‒Tethyan Ocean) occurred between the North Qilian arc and the Andean‒type Alxa arc during the early Devonian.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe glass phase in volcanic rocks presents a challenge to obtaining compositional data from visible and short‐wave‐infrared (VSWIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) spectral data of remote surfaces due to its amorphous structure and variable composition. Nonetheless, glass is a common phase in volcanic materials because it forms via the rapid quench of magma and can constitute up to the entirety of a volcanic deposit. Use of partial least squares regression (PLS) to predict glass contents creates models that are insensitive to viewing geometry and sample conditions such as grain size and spectrally inactive compositional variables, enhancing the ability to detect glasses with remote sensing. PLS models are used here to predict crystallinity and oxide composition of samples from VSWIR and MIR spectral data using training spectra from natural volcanic rocks and geologically relevant synthetic samples. Three spectral resolutions of VSWIR and MIR spectra (1, 10, and 100 nm/band, and 1.9, 19, and 190 cm−1/band, respectively) were tested to assess the effects of collection configuration on different spectrometers. PLS models trained on 1 nm and 1.9 cm−1 data sets have the lowest uncertainties of glass modal abundance for VSWIR and MIR, respectively. MIR models predicting sample wt. % SiO2 and FeO, and VSWIR models of wt. % FeO provide accurate estimates (e.g., RMSE‐P of 3.4 wt. % FeO) at all spectral resolutions. Results are based on training data sets skewed to mafic compositions, which affects model accuracies.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe observed cooling in the subpolar North Atlantic, known as the warming hole, is receiving much attention because of its relationship with the climate sensitivity in the Earth System Models (ESMs). However, the impact of its future projection on the global climate remains unclear due to large uncertainties. Here, we show that the future warming hole changes will affect the interhemispheric asymmetry of temperature and precipitation by modulating the Northern Hemisphere (NH) warming. Models with a weaker warming hole in the future project stronger NH warming by injecting more non‐radiative fluxes to the atmosphere. This leads to an asymmetric warming contrast between the two hemispheres, resulting in a meridional shift of the Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone and more precipitation increases in the NH. Our study implies that the future warming hole controls the interhemispheric heat exchanges and associated changes in the global temperature and precipitation, suggesting that its improved simulation is essential.
Assessing Climate Forcing From the Sea Surface Temperature‐Surface Heat Flux Relation for SST‐Coupled Oscillatory Variability
Authors: Gu Peng , Liu Zhengyu 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe interaction between sea surface temperatures (SST) and surface heat flux (SHF) is vital for atmospheric and oceanic variabilities. This study investigates SST‐SHF relationship in the framework of a coupled oscillatory model, extending beyond previous research that predominantly used AR‐1 type simple stochastic climate models. In contrast to the AR‐1 type model, we reveal distinct features of SST‐SHF relationships in the oscillatory model: sign reversals occur in the imaginary part of SST‐SHF coherence and the low‐pass SST tendency‐SHF correlation. However, these sign reversals are absent in the real part of SST‐SHF coherence and in the low‐pass SST‐SHF correlation. We find these features are robust across both the twentieth Century Reanalysis and GFDL SPEAR model for El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability. Furthermore, we develop a new scheme to assess ENSO's climate forcing magnitude and natural frequency. Our findings thus provide novel insights into understanding ENSO dynamics from the perspective of heat flux.

Published: June 2024

AbstractInterplanetary shocks (IPS) can initiate prompt acceleration of relativistic electrons in the Earth's radiation belt, which is related to the generation and propagation of impulsive electric field (IEF). We investigate the effect of IEF on accelerating radiation belt electrons in the 6 September 2017 IPS event. A “surfing” effect of electrons with respect to the electric field, referring to electrons that drift together with the tailward‐propagating IEF in the duskside, is investigated in this study. Our results show that the maximum increase of electron differential flux is at 3.4 MeV by a factor of 2.2, corresponding to a drift velocity of 531 km/s, which is more consistent with the IPS propagating speed of 621 km/s rather than the fast‐mode speed of 1,074 km/s. We suggest that the effect of IPS propagation is important for radiation belt dynamics, and we highlight the potential importance of the parameter of IPS propagation speed.

Published: June 2024

AbstractMagnetosheath jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in the Earth's magnetosheath. They can impact the magnetopause, causing deformation of the magnetopause. Here we investigate the 3‐D structure of magnetosheath jets using a realistic‐scale, 3‐D global hybrid simulation. The magnetosheath has an overall honeycomb‐like 3‐D structure, where the magnetosheath jets with increased dynamic pressure surround the regions of decreased dynamic pressure resembling honeycomb cells. The magnetosheath jets downstream of the bow shock region with θBn ≲ 20° (where θBn is the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal) propagate approximately along the normal direction of the magnetopause, while those downstream of the bow shock region with θBn ≳ 20° propagate almost tangential to the magnetopause. Therefore, some magnetosheath jets formed at the quasi‐parallel shock region can propagate to the magnetosheath downstream of the quasi‐perpendicular shock region.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAccurately determining the mineralogical composition of rocks is essential for precise assessments of key petrophysical properties like effective porosity, water saturation, clay volume, and permeability. Mineral volume inversion is particularly critical in geological contexts characterized by heterogeneity, such as in the Upper Rhine Graben (URG), where both carbonate and siliciclastic formations are prevalent. The estimation of mineral volumes poses challenges that involve both linear and nonlinear relationships associated with geophysical data. To address this complexity, our methodology strategically integrates the robust insights from standard statistical approaches with three machine learning (ML) algorithms: multi‐layer perceptron, random forest regression, and gradient boosting regression. Furthermore, we propose a new hybrid ensemble model that incorporates a weighted average of multiple ML approaches to predict mineral composition within the Muschelkalk and Buntsandstein formations of the URG. ML techniques for mineral composition prediction in these formations exhibit robust predictive performance. The predicted mineral volumes align closely with quantitative estimates derived from X‐ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, they are in good qualitative agreement with mineral descriptions obtained from cores and cuttings of the Muschelkalk and Buntsandstein formations.

AbstractBreast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The diverse nature and heterogeneous biology of BC pose challenges for survival prediction, as patients with similar diagnoses often respond differently to treatment. Clinically relevant BC intrinsic subtypes have been established through gene expression profiling and are implemented in the clinic. While these intrinsic subtypes show a significant association with clinical outcomes, their long-term survival prediction beyond 5 years often deviates from expected clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify naturally occurring long-term prognostic subgroups of BC based on an integrated multi-omics analysis. This study incorporates a clinical cohort of 335 untreated BC patients from the Oslo2 study with long-term follow-up (>12 years). Multi-Omics Factor Analysis (MOFA+) was employed to integrate transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data obtained from the tumor tissues. Our analysis revealed three prominent multi-omics clusters of BC patients with significantly different long-term prognoses (p = 0.005). The multi-omics clusters were validated in two independent large cohorts, METABRIC and TCGA. Importantly, a lack of prognostic association to long-term follow-up above 12 years in the previously established intrinsic subtypes was shown for these cohorts. Through a systems-biology approach, we identified varying enrichment levels of cell-cycle and immune-related pathways among the prognostic clusters. Integrated multi-omics analysis of BC revealed three distinct clusters with unique clinical and biological characteristics. Notably, these multi-omics clusters displayed robust associations with long-term survival, outperforming the established intrinsic subtypes.
