This article discusses the revolutionary impact of social media on public discourse and how it has polarized through notions such as media ecology, agenda-setting, and cultural hegemony. Platforms such as X, WeChat, TikTok, Douyin, and Instagram expand ideological cleavages by way of algorithmic filtering, user interaction, content viral spread, and affordances. Drawing on mixed methods—content analysis of 5,000 X posts, and surveys of 2,000 users—the study identifies how these dynamics democratize information but produce discursive fragmentation, echo chambers, and disenabled dialogue. Countermeasures include platform redesign, stepped-up moderation, user empowerment, and media literacy, and have implications for communications research and policy.

This paper delves into the innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) in promoting critical thinking among middle school students during English reading, with a specific focus on argumentative texts. By integrating AI - powered educational tools into the reading process, this study explores how these technologies can enhance students’ ability to analyze, evaluate, and construct arguments. A case - study approach is adopted, involving a group of middle school students who engage with argumentative texts using AI - based platforms. Data collection methods include pre - and post - tests, reading logs, and interviews. The results indicate that AI - enhanced reading instruction significantly improves students’ critical thinking skills in the context of English reading, providing valuable insights for future educational practices and curriculum development.

IoT technologies enhance logistics by enabling real-time traceability and dynamic scheduling, but edge device constraints limit advanced AI use. This paper presents a lightweight CNN framework based on MobileNetV2 for predictive scheduling in IoT logistics. Using GPS, traffic, and delivery status data, it achieves 87.5% accuracy, 32% lower latency than heuristic methods, and 64% less memory than typical CNNs. Developed from the author’s expertise in IoT, AI, and logistics, the framework supports last-mile delivery, smart city logistics, and industrial IoT. It validates the author’s master’s curriculum in AI, IoT, robotics, and cybersecurity at Hong Kong universities..

This study investigates the mechanism by which workload affects moral sensitivity among psychiatric nurses. Using questionnaire surveys and structural equation modeling, the findings indicate that excessive workload not only indirectly reduces moral sensitivity by weakening clinical empathy but also exerts a small direct negative effect. Age, gender, education, clinical experience, managerial position, and night-shift frequency were controlled. The study highlights the ethical risks nurses may face under high workload conditions and provides empirical evidence for improving the work environment and enhancing moral sensitivity.

The spatial mobility of South African-Australian writer J.M. Coetzee serves not only as a testament to his lived experience but also as a catalyst for his artistic innovation. Through an analysis of mobile relational spaces, mobile cyberspace and mobile embodied space in his novel Waiting for the Barbarians, this paper reveals how Coetzee employs spatial mobility to dismantle imperialist coding of space and exposes the fluid power dynamics underlying the civilization-barbarism dichotomy. These spatial strategies reflect Coetzee’s incisive critique of real-world contradictions while articulating his profound longing for future utopian spatiality.
