Summary: This article investigates the phenomenon of digital fashion and explores how two pioneering companies, Atacac and The Fabricant, are reshaping the fashion design culture. It suggests that digital fashion is an emerging subfield within the fashion industry that differentiates itself from traditional conventions and establishes new strategies of jurisdiction and legitimation. Drawing from sociology of professions, the article argues that digital fashion designers are becoming digital artisans, driven by sociotechnical affordances and the elevation of professional pride through ethical, conceptual, artistic, and skill differentiation.

Summary: The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare has sparked debates on the role of human clinicians. While some argue that AI will enhance physicians' abilities and provide more personalized care, concerns about privacy and bias have also emerged. Medical/health humanities research plays a crucial role in addressing these issues, such as defining data and app regulations, considering social determinants of health, improving care, and exploring the relationship between technology and healthcare.

Summary: Modelling in the field of heritage science is limited in its application and engagement with practitioners. Model outputs are usually only used by researchers or occasionally by heritage institutions, and the existence of models is often used as a justification for research without meaningful engagement with the academic and heritage communities. Some models are incompatible with real-world objects and sites, while others advance theory without practical application. The use of models could be increased by developing user interfaces, providing training workshops, and incorporating feedback from practical use cases.

Summary: This study examines the assessment practices used by teaching staff in Saudi universities, explores how these practices have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and investigates the factors that influenced teaching staff's priorities and preferences for assessment education during the pandemic. The study aims to increase teaching staff's awareness of assessment practices to support their professional development. Results indicate that feedback, alignment of assessments with learning objectives and outcomes, use of scoring guides, and monitoring and revising assessment approaches are highly endorsed practices. However, mapping summative assessment to curriculum expectations, responding to students' cultural and linguistic diversity, and accommodating students with special needs in assessments are less endorsed practices. Furthermore, formative assessments were rarely used during the pandemic. Variations in preferences and needs for assessment education were observed among faculty members from different colleges and fields of specialty.

Summary: This article explores the stereotyping of female PhDs in Chinese Internet users' discussions about the LM incident. The research findings reveal that Zhihu users often sexualize female PhDs, reflecting the normalization of patriarchal discourses in Chinese academia and beyond. These findings shed light on post-socialist gender politics and the perpetuation of gender essentialism in China in the post-reform era.

Summary: This study employed a Computable General Equilibrium model to quantify the inequality impacts of Chinese carbon taxes. The results showed that tax impacts on inequality are influenced by the distribution of climate damages, tax payments, and recycling of tax revenues. A positive correlation between income and climate damage induced lower inequality, and recycling tax revenues to low-income households reduced inequality.

Summary: This article discusses the importance, advancements, and challenges of digitizing intangible cultural heritage. While there have been many efforts in digital preservation, most of them focus on material heritage, leaving little understanding of the activities and immaterial aspects of intangible heritage. The current goal is therefore to find appropriate ways to document and communicate the ephemeral nature of intangible heritage, and to find effective methods for sharing this knowledge with people.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought up issues in the education sector, including increased student loneliness due to a lack of interpersonal connections during online learning. This study examines the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement for university students in Indonesia, with a focus on the moderating role of God's locus of control and learning student engagement. The findings reveal that loneliness is negatively related to engagement and academic achievement, with student engagement mediating the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement. Additionally, God's locus of control moderates the relationships between loneliness and learning engagement, as well as loneliness and academic achievement.

Summary: This research decrypts the connotative and ideological meaning of beauty ideals, age, and marriage in femvertising campaigns through a social semiotic lens. The analysis of SK-II's documentary reveals that visual signs in the film reinforce stereotypical images of women, despite attempts to convey messages of independence. The lack of genuineness in advocating women's empowerment in femvertising is ultimately subject to traditional gender roles in Chinese society.
