Dietary Patterns in Cancer Prevention and Survival
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. Although some individuals are at higher risk due to non-modifiable risk factors, between 30-40% of all cancer cases are estimated to be preventable through healthy lifestyles, including healthy diets. In 2018, a report from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research promoted ten cancer prevention recommendations on diet and nutrition. But characterizing a healthy diet is not easy, since foods and nutrients are not consumed alone. Over the past decade, dietary pattern analysis has emerged as an alternative and complementary approach to ...
Becoming a Model Minority
Becoming a Model Minority: Schooling Experiences of Ethnic Koreans in China looks at the manner in which ethnic Korean students construct self-perception out of the model minority stereotype in their school and lives in Northeast China. It also examines how this self-perception impacts the strength of the model minority stereotype in their attitudes toward school and strategies for success. Fang Gao shows how this stereotype tends to obscure significant barriers to scholastic success suffered by Korean students, as well as how it silences the disadvantages faced by Korean schooling in China's reform period and neglects the importance of multiculturalism and racial equality under the context of a harmonious society.
The Demoralization of Teachers
The educational system in China is marked by its dramatic inequality between rural and urban schools. The challenges facing rural schools are usually understood as disadvantages in funding, facilities, and staffing, which consequently result in undesirable student performance in general. This book, however, penetrates these phenomena on the surface and brings forth a much deeper moral crisis in rural education, a crisis that is entrenched in the complicated interlocking of formal and informal institutions within and beyond the school. The Demoralization of Teachers describes the work and workplace in a rural school from the perspective of teachers who were working there. It faithfully depict...
Human-in-the-loop System Design and Control Adaptation for Behavior-Assistant Robots
With the progress and development of human-robot systems, the coordination among humans, robots, and environments has become increasingly sophisticated. In this Research Topic, we focus on an important field in robotics and automation disciplines, which is commonly defined as behavior-assistant robots. The scope includes but is not limited to: (1) rehabilitation assistive devices, such as rigid/soft exoskeletons, prosthetic systems, orthoses, and intelligent wheelchairs; (2) intelligent medical systems, such as endoscopic robots, surgical robots, and the navigation systems; (3) industrial application devices, such as collaborative manipulators, load-bearing exoskeletons, supernumerary robotic limbs; (4) intelligent domestic devices, such as mobile robots, elderly-care robots, walking-aids robots and so on. The emergence of robot-assisted daily behaviors, based on aforementioned devices, is gradually becoming part of our social lives, which can improve weak motor abilities, enhance physical functionalities, and enable various other benefits.
Minority Students in East Asia
In Minority Students in East Asia: Government Policies, School Practices and Teacher Responses authors discuss their research on minority students’ schooling (elementary to higher education) in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Minority students’ educational issues are often neglected in literature and in practice; social and educational conditions that have resulted from globalization – in particular issues pertaining to minority groups’ education, language and other human rights – receive little attention. In addition, many areas of East Asia have viewed themselves as single-ethnicity countries and have not articulated strong agendas around minority right...
China's Mongols at University
Minority students in China often receive preferential treatment for access to universities. However, very little is known about minority student experiences and perceptions on campus after they are accorded what's called "meaningful access" to university. The Mongols emerged as a distinct ethnic group in China starting in the 11th century and, in the centuries that followed, conquered a large part of the world. However, in modern times this nomadic people's influence has declined, and even their survival in China has been threatened. This decline is evidenced by the fact that increasing numbers of Mongols have abandoned their native language and traditional customs, especially those who live...
Analyzing Male Reproductive Risk, Understanding Molecular Targets, and Developing Treatments
Male fertility, both resilient and fragile, is heavily affected by external factors such as the environment, drug use, and eating habits, in a similar way to a wall of stone that is constantly attacked and weathered to varying degrees. The use of cancer drugs, for instance, may increase life expectancy and cure diseases, but may also negatively affect male fertility. A variety of factors complicate male infertility, such as the intricate spermatogenesis process. The available methods for diagnosis are limited, not to mention treatment. However, some evidence showed that different reproductive physiologies may share some biological basis and thus molecular pathways, such as mTOR, which plays ...
Identity and Schooling Among the Naxi
Identity and Schooling among the Naxi examines the identity construction of Naxi students in Lijiang No.1 Senior Secondary School in China, focusing on the changing roles of school, community, and family in the identity construction of the students. Through participant observation, interviews, and student essays, Yu finds that Naxi students of the school retain a strong Naxi identity while also managing to fit into mainstream culture through a process she characterizes as "harmonious creative identity engagement". Three main forces affecting the identity construction of the Naxi students are highlighted: the state and the school, Naxi intellectuals, and socialization in the family and commun...
