This paper provides insights into emergent masculinities amongst a group of cycle and auto rickshaw drivers in Dhangadhi, far-west Nepal. The main focus of this paper is to explore various Janajati (Indigenous) masculinities as they are changing as a consequence of both moving to a city to work as rickshaw drivers along with automation within the rickshaw occupation. Cycle rickshaw driving had profound implications both for the bodies and masculinities, with tensions emerging between the performances of masculinity expected and encouraged within rickshaw driving and the bodies of the men who are rickshaw drivers. These associations are being reconfigured through the introduction of automated rickshaws, something that is a unique focus of this paper. The process of automation also disrupted the occupation of rickshaw driving being a largely male occupation. Ultimately, this paper explores the implications of automation for gendered associations within certain occupations.

这篇论文提供了在尼泊尔西部丹加迪的一群自行车和自动三轮车司机中出现的男子气概的见解。本文的主要重点是探讨各种Janajati（土著）男子主义，因为他们都搬到城市工作作为人力车夫随着人力车夫职业的自动化而改变。骑人力车对身体和男子气概都有着深远的影响，在人力车驾驶中所期望和鼓励的男子气概表现与人力车司机的身体之间出现了紧张关系。通过引入自动人力车，这些关联正在被重新配置，这是本文的一个独特焦点。自动化的进程也打破了人力车夫主要由男性担任的职业。最后，本文探讨了自动化对某些职业中性别关联的影响。

Marine garbage governance overlooks sociocultural and perceptual dynamics shaping waste meanings. This article introduces the concept of the ecological gaze to analyze how visual, moral, and affective relations mediate environmental governance, using a case study of Qingbang Island in Zhoushan, China. We uncover how different actors - including tourists, residents, volunteers, and nonhuman forces (the ocean) - interact through complex systems of visibility and judgment. Through qualitative fieldwork, we identify three key dynamics: performative compliance driven by tourist scrutiny, moral tensions within volunteer engagement, and the symbolic power of the re-entrant gaze of nature. These findings demonstrate that environmental governance is not merely institutional or behavioral, but also visual and relational. The ecological gaze offers a novel analytic for understanding how social inequalities and emotional experiences shape environmental subjectivity and accountability. This framework has broader implications for rethinking governance in ecologically vulnerable and visually mediated contexts.

海洋垃圾治理忽视了塑造垃圾意义的社会文化和感性动态。本文以舟山青邦岛为例，引入生态凝视的概念，分析视觉、道德和情感关系对环境治理的中介作用。我们揭示了不同的参与者——包括游客、居民、志愿者和非人类力量（海洋）——如何通过复杂的可见性和判断系统相互作用。通过定性的实地调查，我们确定了三个关键的动力：由游客审查驱动的行为服从，志愿者参与中的道德紧张，以及重新进入自然凝视的象征力量。这些发现表明，环境治理不仅是制度或行为的，而且是视觉和关系的。生态视角为理解社会不平等和情感体验如何塑造环境主体性和问责制提供了一种新颖的分析方法。这一框架对于在生态脆弱和视觉介导的背景下重新思考治理具有更广泛的意义。

Social media has become an essential part of daily life and plays a crucial role in business. This study examines how new Chinese migrant enterprises in Auckland, New Zealand, use the social media platform Xiaohongshu (Rednote) for business promotion. Using qualitative interviews, it investigates how these enterprises leverage Xiaohongshu to enhance brand visibility and consumer engagement. Findings reveal that Xiaohongshu’s integration of social networking and brand promotion helps businesses overcome cultural and market barriers, foster customer loyalty, and drive sales. This study contributes to transnational entrepreneurship and social capital theories by highlighting the platform’s role in facilitating cross-cultural business operations. It also provides valuable insights into the digital marketing strategies of migrant enterprises, emphasising the significance of culturally specific social media platforms in global business promotion.

This study explores the interdependencies between apartment prices and fertility rates in South Korea using a moving window-based methodology. By analyzing monthly data from 2013 to 2023, we examine both rental and sales prices' impact on fertility decisions. The research reveals evolving relationships across regions, showing initially strong negative correlations between housing costs and fertility, which weaken over time. Through advanced statistical measures, including Pearson, Spearman, Kendall, and Granger causality, this study provides insights into the temporal and regional dynamics of housing affordability's effect on demographic trends, offering policy implications for mitigating South Korea's fertility crisis.

Migrant disgust: Navigating sensory and emotional experience in Japanese food-processing factories 移民厌恶：引导日本食品加工厂的感官和情感体验

This paper examines how Indonesian migrant workers in Japanese food-processing factories navigate disgust as part of everyday sensory labor. While disgust is often studied as a reaction to migrants or as a clinical emotion, this study analyzed disgust as felt and managed by migrants, embedded in sensory, moral, and affective negotiations. Drawing on sensory ethnography in Ōarai, Japan (2016–2018), the study explores how migrant workers endure tasks involving spoiled or decayed food and regulate emotional responses under employers’ supervision. Rather than treating disgust as either a biological reflex or a moral judgment, the study demonstrates how these dimensions intersect and blur. Workers navigate disgust through strategies such as boundary work, emotional compartmentalization, and ritual cleansing across domains. Disgust thus appears not only as a reaction to spoiled material but also as a moral and social practice shaped by multisensorial experience, labor hierarchies, and embodied sensibilities.

本文考察了日本食品加工厂的印尼移民工人如何将厌恶作为日常感官劳动的一部分。虽然厌恶通常被研究为对移民的反应或作为一种临床情绪，但本研究分析了移民感受到和管理的厌恶，嵌入在感官，道德和情感谈判中。该研究借鉴了日本Ōarai（2016-2018）的感官民族志，探讨了农民工如何在雇主的监督下忍受涉及变质或腐烂食物的任务，并调节情绪反应。该研究并没有将厌恶视为一种生物反射或道德判断，而是展示了这些维度是如何交叉和模糊的。员工通过边界工作、情感划分和跨领域的仪式净化等策略来应对厌恶。因此，厌恶不仅表现为对被破坏的物质的反应，而且表现为一种由多感官经验、劳动等级和具体化的情感形成的道德和社会实践。

During the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous countries, including China, deployed digital surveillance technologies as part of broader social governance strategies. While these technologies offered certain benefits, their widespread application also posed risks, including algorithmic bias and privacy infringement. This study examines critical discussions (or critiques) on Chinese social media concerning various problems induced by algorithmic surveillance technologies such as the Health Code and Travel Code during the pandemic. Employing computational and qualitative textual analysis, our findings highlight recurring accounts of algorithmic and technical failures that users encountered when interacting with surveillance technologies. These disruptions exposed individuals to heightened algorithmic vulnerability and intensified existing inequalities, particularly through unequal treatment and negative emotional experiences. Our research further implies that the critical discussions often framed the Chinese government’s massive deployment of algorithmic surveillance technologies as exacerbating pre-existing issues, such as the digital divide and social bias, especially for vulnerable groups like older people. Meanwhile, our analysis of online critiques highlights growing concerns and skepticism among some users toward both algorithmic technologies and state governance.

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，包括中国在内的许多国家将数字监测技术作为更广泛的社会治理战略的一部分。虽然这些技术带来了一定的好处，但它们的广泛应用也带来了风险，包括算法偏见和隐私侵犯。本研究考察了疫情期间，中国社交媒体上关于算法监测技术（如健康码和旅行码）引发的各种问题的批判性讨论（或批评）。通过计算和定性文本分析，我们的研究结果强调了用户在与监控技术交互时遇到的算法和技术故障的反复出现。这些干扰使个人更容易受到算法的影响，并加剧了现有的不平等，特别是通过不平等待遇和负面情绪体验。我们的研究进一步表明，批评性讨论往往认为，中国政府大规模部署算法监控技术加剧了已有的问题，如数字鸿沟和社会偏见，尤其是对老年人等弱势群体。与此同时，我们对网上批评的分析凸显了一些用户对算法技术和国家治理日益增长的担忧和怀疑。

Indigenous people in Taiwan have recently succeeded to reclaim the right to use their native names in formal institutions. This study investigates how using an Indigenous name use and maintaining proficiency in indigenous language influence school experiences, self-esteem, and acculturation strategies among Indigenous adolescents in this island society. Drawing on survey data from 1,144 indigenous adolescents attending in high schools in northern Taiwan, the findings reveal that a strong ethnic identity directly enhances self-esteem. However, ability of indigenous language also elevates academic pressure. Adolescents who embrace their Indigenous identity report a more positive self-concept and favor integration over assimilation in interactions with Han peers. This study underscores the importance of culturally inclusive practices and greater institutional support for Indigenous language and name usage, while also acknowledging the unique challenges faced by Indigenous adolescents in Han-dominated urban school settings.

台湾原住民族最近成功地恢复了在正式机构中使用本族名字的权利。本研究旨在探讨使用原住民名称和保持原住民语言熟练程度如何影响这个岛屿社会中原住民青少年的学校经历、自尊和文化适应策略。本研究以台湾北部1144名高中原住民学童为调查对象，发现强烈的族群认同能直接提升自尊。然而，母语能力也增加了学业压力。接受土著身份的青少年在与汉族同龄人的交往中表现出更积极的自我概念，更倾向于融入而不是同化。本研究强调了文化包容性实践和对土著语言和名字使用的更多制度支持的重要性，同时也承认了汉族主导的城市学校环境中土著青少年面临的独特挑战。
