            "title": "The Mediating Role of Loneliness in the Association between Social Isolation and Self",
            "description": "Aim: Research indicates that social isolation and loneliness among older adults increase the risk of poor self-rated health (SRH) and vice versa. This study examines how loneliness may mediate the relationship between social isolation and health status among older Chilean adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 6755 participants aged 60 and older. The social isolation concept was operationalised using a 6-item measure adapted from Zavaleta et al.’s approach; loneliness was measured using the Three-Item Lonely Scale; and SRH status was measured with a standardised question from the Chilean Quality of Life and Health Survey. An IRT-1PL model and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were used in combination to validate the psychometric properties of social isolation. A mediation analysis using generalised structural equation modelling (GSEM), adjusted for relevant confounding factors, was conducted. Results: 30.4% of participants experienced social isolation, and 23.4% reported feelings of loneliness. Among those with poor SRH, 45% faced social isolation, and 37% experienced loneliness. GSEM indicated that the indirect effect of social isolation on poor SRH via loneliness was significant (β = −0.183), suggesting that loneliness was an important mediator, and the direct effect of social isolation on poor SRH was also significant (β = −0.324), indicating partial mediation. Conclusions: The association between social isolation and poor health status was significantly mediated by loneliness among Chilean older adults. The findings underscore the importance of social connectivity for the health status and well-being of older adults, and provide guidance for future interventions that promote social engagement and help older adults cope with loneliness to achieve successful ageing.",

            "title": "A Case Study of Internet Celebrity “IShowSpeed”",
            "description": "The live streams of internet celebrity “IShowSpeed” during his 2025 China Tour have been widely circulated, exerting a significant influence on international audiences’ perceptions of China. From the perspective of soft power pillars, this study employed Python for targeted web scraping, collecting the top 100 English high-vote comments from each of his 8 China Tour live streams on YouTube. Through content analysis, it explores how non-traditional communicators craft content for to shape China’s national image overseas. Findings indicate that overseas audiences are highly interested in the vitality of Chinese urban life and diverse cultural scenes in the videos. This is reflected in the dual advantages of high penetration rate and high positive sentiment ratio in culture and heritage and sustainable future dimensions. In contrast, governance-related comments present a paradox: high positive sentiment yet low penetration. Comments on culture and sustainable future are mostly positive; few viewers focus on governance, most of those do offer positive feedback. This study concludes that the celebrity offers a new pathway for China’s soft power construction. Its core value lies in breaking cultural cognitive barriers through life-oriented content design and scenario-based communication. To maximize such effectiveness, efforts should focus on leveraging strengths, avoiding weaknesses, pursuing precise audience alignment, and synergizing with other communicators to enhance the overseas communication impact of China’s national image.",
