(Trans)lating Identity: Exploring Discursive Strategies for Navigating the Tensions of Identity Gaps

This study explored the formation and expression of gender identity among 19 self-identified transgender individuals through the use of qualitative, in-depth interviews. Through the lens of the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI), we examined how trans* individuals form and perform gender identity, the tensions produced between identity frames, and the discursive strategies used to navigate those tensions. We identified the manifestation of three specific identity gaps: personal-enacted, personal-relational, and enacted-relational. Furthermore, we discovered four discursive strategies previously recognized for navigating tensions that emerge from identity gaps: closeted enactment, passing, disengagement, and label changing, and we identified a fifth discursive strategy—hyper-engagement—used to navigate these tensions. Results revealed that these identity layers and discursive strategies collaboratively manifest and coalesce in response to specific communicative contexts. Our results are discussed within the resounding call for greater understanding of trans* identity formation and expression.

Si3N4陶瓷二次部分瞬间液相连接数值模拟

利用热弹塑性有限元方法，通过瞬态热结构直接耦合，模拟Si3N4陶瓷二次部分瞬问液相连接过程，分析了连接接头残余应力分布状态和中间层对此连接接头应力分布的影响。结果表明：陶瓷外表面靠近连接界面的附近存在最大拉伸应力；采用Ti／Cu／Ni／Cu／Ti中间过渡层的接头应力出现大幅度的降低；陶瓷与金属之间热膨胀系数的巨大差异是导致残余应力的主要原因，采用中间过渡层能缓和接头的残余应力，提高接头强度。

基于Bookmetrix的G20国家图书影响力比较研究

[目的/意义]对比分析G20国家图书影响力的现状，为我国提升图书国际影响力提供借鉴。[方法/过程]选择Springer收录的5个学科（化学、工程、医学、法律、历史）图书为样本，以Bookmetrix为数据源，在讨论指标覆盖率与相关性的基础上，从图书的产出数量、5类指标（下载量、引用量、提及量、读者量及评论量）以及合著关系3个方面展开比较分析。[结果/结论]研究发现：1）在指标覆盖率和相关性方面，整体情况与中、美、德等国家层面的表现类似。体现为图书的下载量覆盖率最高，读者量和引用量相关性值较高且稳定。2）中国的国际图书产出量与德国、美国、英国存在较大差距，但在指标均值、综合排名方面表现良好。3）在G20国家图书合著网络中，人文社科类图书国际合作强度明显低于理工类学科；美国、德国具有较高的科研合作实力与影响力；中国的国际合作具有一定基础，但整体影响力作用并不突出。     

R&D co-operation and innovation a microeconometric study on French firms

The scope of this paper is to report new empirical evidence on the determinants of R&D co-operation. Indeed, the literature on the capabilities of firms emphasises the role of knowledge in the performance and evolution of firms who use knowledge developed in others to build their own knowledge capital. R&D co-operation between firms is one of the many strategies by which this knowledge may be transmitted. Several theoretical models have stressed that R&D co-operation is more likely when the level of spillovers is high. While this supposition is used in many theoretical models, it has rarely been tested before. Our results do not lend strong support to this intuition. Indeed, our spillover variables (national pure spillovers, national rent spillovers and imports of machine tools), which were supposed to match the theoretical notion of spillovers used in these theoretical models have a positive but not a significant role when explaining R&D co-operation. The R&D co-operation increases with size and with R&D intensity, but not with market share. It also increases with the budget spent on paying license fees and on acquiring patents and labour from foreign firms. In this study, we also analyse the determinants of innovation. In more precise terms, we compare the effects of R&D co-operation to those played by traditional internal factors and those exerted by external, pure and rent spillovers on the innovation capacity of the firms. Our results show that the commercial success of innovations of French firms depends mainly on size, market share, R&D intensity and human capital. Inward FDI from industrialised countries exerts a positive and significant effect. The finding highlights the important role of the absorptive capacity of firms. Spillover measurements, such as the acquisition of machine tools, foreign patents, licenses, and technological opportunities have a positive impact on innovation.

Multimedia augmented m-learning: Issues,trends and open challenges

The advancement in mobile technology and the introduction of cloud computing systems enable the use of educational materials on mobile devices for a location- and time-agnostic learning process. These educational materials are delivered in the form of data and compute-intensive multimedia-enabled learning objects. Given these constraints, the desired objective of mobile learning (m-learning) may not be achieved. Accordingly, a number of m-learning systems are being developed by the industry and academia to transform society into a pervasive educational institute. However, no guideline on the technical issues concerning the m-learning environment is available. In this study, we present a taxonomy of such technical issues that can impede the life cycle of multimedia-enabled m-learning applications. The taxonomy is devised based on the issues related to mobile device heterogeneity, network performance, content heterogeneity, content delivery, and user expectation. These issues are discussed, along with their causes and measures, to achieve solutions. Furthermore, we identify several trending areas through which the adaptability and acceptability of multimedia-enabled m-learning platforms can be increased. Finally, we discuss open challenges, such as low complexity encoding, data dependency, measurement and modeling, interoperability, and security as future research directions.
