THE PERSONALIZATION PARADOX: THE INTERPLAY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS AND CONTEXTUAL FACTORS IN EXCESSIVE SHORT-VIDEO USE IN CHINA’S AGEING POPULATION
Short-video platforms (e.g., Douyin, Kuaishou) have become central to media use among China’s “silver-haired” users. While algorithmic personalization increases perceived relevance and enjoyment, it may also encourage excessive use. This study proposes and tests a mediated-moderated model in which immersion (flow), mood repair/loneliness alleviation, and cue-reactivity mediate the association between perceived algorithmic personalization and excessive short-video use, while digital literacy, family support/joint media engagement, and urban-rural context moderate these pathways. Using a multi-site survey of Chinese older adults (≥60; N ≈ 800) with device-logged usage and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), we estimate direct, indirect, and conditional effects; qualitative interviews (n ≈ 40) deepen interpretation. We expect personalization to predict excessive use predominantly via immersion and mood repair, with buffering by higher digital literacy and stronger family support. Findings aim to inform dignity-preserving, family-integrated interventions that rebalance use without sacrificing valued social functions.

IMPACT OF HABITAT FRAGMENTATION ON INSECT DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION IN TROPICAL RAINFORESTS
Habitat fragmentation in tropical rainforests presents complex effects on insect communities and ecosystem function. We review experimental and observational studies -including the Amazon’s Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project – highlighting negative impacts at local scales (α-diversity decline, disrupted trophic and pollination networks), while noting that fragmentation can, under certain conditions, increase β- and γ-diversity across landscapes. We discuss functional ecology, edge effects, disturbance regimes, and ecosystem services. We conclude by proposing integrated conservation strategies that reconcile patch size, connectivity, and functional diversity to protect insect-mediated processes.
