Mobile Communication, Public Participation and E-Governance in China : A case study of Xiamen Anti-PX Demonstration
China has become the biggest mobile communication carrier in the world since 2001. Advanced technologies create a communication revolution, and the individual, through the advent of mobile media, has become an active participant in this process. This study investigates the mobile phone’s impact upon the developments of public participation, social inclusion and citizenship through the case study o

Contextual Factors and Crisis Attribution in Social Media Crisis : Revisiting Situational Crisis Communication Theory in the Chinese Context
The neglect of broader social and cultural contexts in crisis communication research raises the question of the applicability of Western originated theories in nonwestern contexts. To address the issue, this study revisits Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) in Chinese contexts by taking an online discussion on Weibo about a high-profile homicide in a McDonald’s restaurant as the case.
Regional foresight and dynamics of smart specialization: A typology of regional diversification patterns
The concept of smart specialization has attracted great interest and has been adopted widely in European regional and innovation policy. Foresight is an important part of creating smart specialization strategies. However, both the smart specialization concept and foresight have been criticized for lacking an empirical and theoretical foundation that can help guide their application in practice. Th

Environmental barriers and use of mobility devices.
To describe outdoor barriers in the nearby home environments of very old people, and to investigate whether the presence of these environmental barriers differed between users and non-users of mobility devices (MDs). Method: Baseline data on 397 Swedish people aged 80-89 years, collected with a study-specific question on MD use and a subset of the environmental component of the Housing Enabler ins

The Role of Valuation Practices for Risk Identification
Asymmetric song recognition between recently diverged subspecies of reed bunting
Acoustic divergence among populations may result in assortative mating, behavioral isolation, and speciation. In birds, the recogni- tion of suitable mates depends to a large extent on learning, generally resulting in a tendency to discriminate against nonlocal stimuli. However, there may be geographical variation in the discrimination against nonlocal stimuli, and this may allow inferring the mec
Impaired psychomotor ability and attention in patients with persistent pain : A cross-sectional comparative study
Background and aims: Patients with pain have shown cognitive impairment across various domains. Although the pain qualities vary among patients, research has overlooked how cognitive performance is affected by the duration and persistence of pain. The current study sought to fill this gap by examining how qualitatively different pain states relate to the following cognitive functions: sustained at

Lack of visual field improvement after initiation of intraocular pressure reducing treatment in the early manifest glaucoma trial
PURPOSE. We evaluate how visual fields are affected by the initiation of IOP-reducing therapy in previously untreated glaucoma individuals. METHODS. Qualifying individuals with newly diagnosed glaucoma having normal to moderately elevated IOP were prospectively randomized either to IOP-reducing therapy or to no treatment. Before randomization, individuals underwent repeatedly Standard Automated Pe
Discriminative prediction of A-To-I RNA editing events from DNA sequence
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional alteration of RNA sequences that, via insertions, deletions or base substitutions, can affect protein structure as well as RNA and protein expression. Recently, it has been suggested that RNA editing may be more frequent than previously thought. A great impediment, however, to a deeper understanding of this process is the paramount sequencing effort that needs
Towards a conceptual framework for explaining variation in nocturnal departure time of songbird migrants
Most songbird migrants travel between their breeding areas and wintering grounds by a series of nocturnal flights. The exact nocturnal departure time for these flights varies considerably between individuals even of the same species. Although the basic circannual and circadian rhythms of songbirds, their adaptation to migration, and the factors influencing the birds' day-to-day departure decision

Experimental biodiversity enrichment in oil-palm-dominated landscapes in Indonesia
Tropical biodiversity is threatened by the expansion of oil-palm plantations. Reduced-impact farming systems such as agroforests, have been proposed to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In regions where oil-palm plantations already dominate the landscape, this increase can only be achieved through systematic ecological restoration. However, our knowledge about the underlying ecologi
