This review examines trends and patterns in research investigating relationships between sleep and language learning from a biopsychosocial perspective. Sleep deprivation, being prevalent among adolescents, impacts academic performance, cognitive development, and language skills. We have conducted this review using the method of a systematic literature review in order to understand any types of gaps that exist amongst current literature. While existing research focuses on toddlers, children, and adults, a significant gap exists in understanding its effects on adolescents. We screened an initial 242 articles, however there were only 43 left that were selected to meet the criteria, and we then categorized them by age, population characteristics, and levels of analysis. Findings show a disproportionate focus on younger age groups and individual-level analyses, with cultural contexts often neglected. Our review emphasizes the need for more adolescent-focused research and the inclusion of cultural analyses to better understand and address the diverse needs of students and learners.

This article examines public opinion on social media regarding transgender athlete Imane Khelif’s participation in women’s boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. By synthesizing existing literature and empirical research, the study identifies key factors that influence public opinion, such as exposure to trans narratives and ideological orientation. The software MDCOR (Media Data Collection and Organization Research) and SENA (Sentiment and Network Analysis) were used to analyze the collected data, from the perspective of relevant words of comments, audience sentiment analysis, and big data word cloud. The analysis reveals a complex situation, with clear divisions in public sentiment regarding the different aspects of transgender participation in sport. In addition, the political leanings of the media also have an impact on public opinion. The research aims to inform policy discussions and frameworks that respect the rights of all individuals, while considering wider implications for fairness and justice in competitive sport.

This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of Nike's "A Feel For Every You" campaign in the digital field, particularly how it establishes personal and emotional bonds with the target audience. This kind of connection is expected to increase brand awareness and deepen people's interest in Nike products and its concept of self-empowerment and physical positivity. This study employed a hybrid approach combining quantitative emotion analysis and qualitative thematic analysis to understand the movement's impact comprehensively. The analysis of YouTube comments shows that the event successfully stimulated positive emotions, such as motivation and satisfaction, while effectively conveying inclusive messages. The title of the event is appropriate because it resonates deeply with the target audience, strengthens emotional connections, increases brand awareness, and cultivates positive associations. Most online discussions revolve around the authenticity of this movement and its relevance to critical social issues such as diversity and inclusivity. In addition, the study also explored the interaction between personalized marketing and consumer attitudes and pointed out the activity's success in emotionally attracting audiences. Although some criticisms have been acknowledged, genuine brand representativeness is strongly recommended to be developed to minimize potential backlash. The study ultimately delved into how personalized marketing techniques affect consumer behaviour, providing recommendations for improving future marketing strategies.

There are both positive transfer and negative transfer in second language acquisition (SLA). The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which sharing features of L1 and L2 can contribute to L2 learning, while different features can negatively affect L2 learning. The listening test on coda/m/ was carried out on the Chinese language subjects of with-coda/m/ dialects and without-coda/m/ dialects. The results showed that: With-coda/m/ dialect speakers have no significant advantage over general coda/m/ perception over Without-coda/m/ dialect speakers. However, with-coda/m/ dialect speakers have significant advantage over the other group on certain vowel-coda/m/ sets that exist in their L1. This work provides some inspiration for English teaching, and also deepens the relevant theories of second language acquisition. In addition, for learners with specific speech disorders, this study helps to identify the source of the problem, provide data support for the field of speech pathology, and guide the design of more accurate intervention and treatment programs for speech disorders.
