In this book, Yuxia Qian and Rukhsana Ahmed explore health acculturation, which they argue is a complex, multidimensional communication process involving concerted efforts from migrants, health professionals, researchers, community members, policymakers, and the media, rather than a unidimensional process synonymous with assimilation. Qian and Ahmed examine individual migrant health acculturation experiences, community-based culturally-centered health interventions, and cross-cultural heal...

This collection, edited by Jim A. Kuypers, analyzes genres of public communication to examine how the pandemic has impacted specific areas of scholarship within the communication discipline. Contributors begin each chapter by acknowledging the parameters of their sub-discipline and then discussing key elements being affected by the pandemic and pandemic responses. Viewing the pandemic through the eyes of their sub-disciplines, contributors offer unique insights on the effects of the pandem...

This book systematically reviews a broad range of cases in education that utilize cutting-edge AI technologies. Furthermore, it introduces readers to the latest findings on the scope of AI in education, so as to inspire researchers from non-technological fields (e.g. education, psychology and neuroscience) to solve education problems using the latest AI techniques. It also showcases a number of established AI systems and products that have been employed for education. Lastly, the book disc...
