An Analysis of Phonics Teaching in Mainland China

This article tries to analyze the present status of phonics teaching in Mainland China by using documentary research method through sorting out all the essays about phonics teaching in CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) according to their research contents and research methods. The data collected shows that Phonics, Pinyin and IPA are mainly discussed topics, especially different roles of them in English teaching. Unfortunately, misconceptions about phonics do appear in some of those essays collected, while localization of phonics is emerging. This paper seems to shed light on a general overview of English phonics teaching in Mainland China for English teachers and researchers and cope up with the difficult points and conflicts to provide improvement for phonics teaching.

The Impact

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are internationally accepted as a popular online learning, its introduction into Mainland China provides an opportunity for College English education reform, which is on progress since 2007. This article attempts to draw a picture of College English teaching reform under the influence of MOOCs by adopting documentary research method through analyzing all the essays about College English teaching under the wave of MOOCs in CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) according to their research contents. The data collected shows that theoretically College English teaching could be reformed by taking the form of MOOCs in the courses of English for general purposes (EGP), English for general education (EGE), and English for specific purposes (ESP). It seems that during the reform teaching models and student-teacher relationship are altered by the MOOCs environment. Additionally, College English courses on several MOOCs platforms are analyzed, they further prove the practical College English courses done on MOOCs platforms. This paper seems to throw light on a general overview of College English teaching in Mainland China for English teachers and researchers and propose further improvement for college English teaching reform.

Infection Risk Factors

Eimeria spp. cause the disease coccidiosis, which results in chronic wasting of livestock and can lead to the death of the animal. The disease, common worldwide, has caused huge economic losses to the cattle industry in particular. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of bovine Eimeria in China. Our search of five databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chongqing VIP, and Wan Fang for articles published up to February 29, 2020 on the prevalence of Eimeria in cattle in mainland China yielded 46 articles, in which the prevalence of cattle ranged from 4.6% to 87.5%. The rate of bovine Eimeria infection has been decreasing year by year, from 57.9% before 2000 to 25.0% after 2015, but it is still high. We also analyzed the region, sampling years, detection methods, feeding model, seasons, and species of bovine Eimeria. We recommend that prevention strategies should focus on strengthening detection of Eimeria in calves in the intensive farming model.

Hospice And Palliative Care

Abstract Background Research is a fundamental element in the sustainable development of hospice and palliative care. Mainland China is facing increasing demand for hospice and palliative care and has launched related policies over the past decade. However, the state of research and publications in this field in China remains largely unknown. This study aimed to provide an overall picture of hospice-and palliative care -related research and publications in Mainland China from 2010 to 2019. Methods We searched Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, OVID, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for hospice-and palliative care -related publications in English and Chinese for 2010–2019. We analyzed the production, citations and impacts, publishing journals, region and institution of origin, and themes and active topics. Results A total of 3224 publications were identified, and 636 of them were considered of high quality. The production and impacts showed a clear increase—especially after 2016. However, the regional disparity between East and Western China in production was conspicuous and closely linked to economic factors. Beijing and Shanghai were the most productive regions. The hospice providers in the first five pilot regions had no collaboration with leading universities in their publications. Hospice and palliative care for cancer patients was the most common publication topic; some essential themes were rarely explored. Conclusion Research and publications of hospice and palliative care in Mainland China is developing faster than before; however, it remains at an early stage and should be promoted in terms of interregional equity. Collaboration among different disciplines, institutes, and regions should be encouraged.

Abstract Objectives: Research is a fundamental element in the sustainable development of hospice and palliative care. Mainland China is facing increasing demand for hospice and palliative care and has launched related policies over the past decade. However, the state of research and publications in this field in China remains largely unknown. This study aimed to provide an overall picture of hospice-and palliative care -related research and publications in Mainland China of the last decade.Methods: We searched Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, OVID, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for hospice-and palliative care -related publications in English and Chinese for 2010–2019. We analyzed the production, citations and impacts, publishing journals, region and institution of origin, publication types and topics.Results: A total of 3224 publications were identified, and 636 of them were published in high-quality journals. The production and impacts showed a clear increase—especially after 2016. However, there is no specialized journal of hospice and palliative care in Mainland China. The publications scattered among various journals. The regional disparity between East and Western China in production was conspicuous and closely linked to economic factors. The most prosperous cities in Mainland China, Beijing and Shanghai, were the most productive regions. The hospice providers in the first five pilot regions had no collaboration with leading universities in their publications. Hospice and palliative care for cancer patients was the most common publication topic; some essential topics were rarely explored.Conclusions: Research and publications about hospice and palliative care in Mainland China is developing faster than before; however, it remains at an early stage and should be promoted in terms of interregional equity.

Public Health Challenge

Oral mucosal disease (OMD) is a public health challenge globally, but the epidemiological findings in older adults have been inconsistent in China. Thus, this meta-analysis was carried out to explore the prevalence of OMD and its moderating factors in this population. An electronic literature search was conducted of both international (PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE) and Chinese (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WanFang) databases from inception to November 1, 2019. The Der–Simonian and Laird random effects model was used to synthesize the prevalence of OMD and its 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Twenty-four studies covering 23,653 older adults were included. The pooled prevalence of OMD was 23% (95% confidence interval: 17.9%–29.0%) Subgroup analyses and meta-analysis revealed that the prevalence of OMD was significantly associated with the reporting sampling, year of publication, and survey (all p values <0.05). This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of OMD among older adults in mainland China was significantly high. Early detection and effective intervention of OMD in older adults have public health and clinical importance.

Selection Of

This metadata-based literature study provides a comprehensive mapping of China’s music education by analysing 3,257 Chinese research articles published during 2007–2019. The selection of the articles is based on careful inspections of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database and rigorous coding of literature attributes. The analysis of descriptive and analytical attributes showed (a) dominance of qualitative over quantitative/mixed-method research paradigm, (b) a strong preference for conceptual over empirical studies and (c) a policy-reinforced research orientation. The prime inference from the findings also raised concerns on several ‘neglected’ research areas and quality issues in the selected literature.
