Abstract:
The introduction of the Internet and digitalization has posed a lot of challenges for news publishing industry, so as for magazine publishers. Due to rapid development of technology, most of magazine publishers are compelled to not only transform their print products into digital format, but also to exclusively create digital content and put it up on their websites and/or on other platforms and electronic devices. Also, users’ consumption behaviors have shifted to consume a lot of media in digital format. Thus it is crucial for digital magazine publishers to have a better understanding of read

Abstract:
Language students today have grown up with a plethora of technology tools at their fingertips, which has in some cases earned them the title of "digital native". 'Students' high use of technology outside the classroom has led teachers and researchers to believe that technology could be highly effective for language learners when used appropriately. Yet little is known about how students actually react to technology-based tools for language learning purposes. This study seeks to not only understand student attitudes toward technology in general, but also to see how those attitudes might affect

It has been estimated that one third of the world's population does not have access to "adequate" health care. Some 1.6 billion people live in countries experiencing "concentrated" acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemics. Many countries in Africa--and other low-income countries--are in dire need of help providing adequate health care services to their citizens. They require more hands-on care from Western health workers--and training so more African health workers can eventually care for their own citizens. But these countries also need assistance acquiring and implementing both t

This framework reveals how the generation of critical knowledge concerning digital literature, as crystallised through a reader’s material engagements with specific works, enacts a ‘performative’ concept
