Fellows to Use the Centre for Digital Scholarship of the Bodleian Libraries to Access Gale Primary Sources and Gale Digital Scholar Lab to Advance Digital Humanities Research in the Asia-Pacific Region

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. and OXFORD, England, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — To increase access to digital humanities (DH) tools and support emerging research and collaboration amongst scholars, Gale, part of Cengage Group, and Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, announce the recipients of the second cohort of the Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowships. Gale will fund the research of two scholars for three months. The fellowship seeks to support the scholars’ research into a DH-related topic at the University of Oxford, using the Centre for Digital Scholarship of the Bodleian Libraries. To help foster emerging scholarship in the Asia-Pacific region, the fellows have access to the Bodleian Libraries’ resources including Gale Primary Sources as well as Gale Digital Scholar Lab which provides fellows with invaluable text and data mining tools to advance their work through DH methods.

Gale and the Bodleian Libraries congratulate the following candidates, who were awarded the fellowships in the second year of the program and highlight the projects they are pursuing:

Dr. Xiurong Zhao, Renmin University of China, China

Project: The Use of GIS to Map Infectious Diseases in Victorian England seeks to find new answers about the causes of infectious diseases and their spread, and the social impacts of these diseases. By using tools from Gale Digital Scholar Lab, the project will utilize new research methods to produce disease maps to support new information and resources that are easily accessible to the public.

Dr. Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller, Australian National University, Australia 

Project: Transnational Liberalism: A Linked Data Case Study of Australian Political History will leverage data sets to answer questions about the political landscape in colonial Australia, the wider Asia-Pacific region, and the British world more generally during the mid- to late-1800’s. The project provides comprehensive insight into the origins of the Liberal party, which has dominated the national government of Australia for 62 years (since WWII) and shaped the Asia-Pacific region for decades.

“I am thrilled to welcome our second group of Gale fellows to the Bodleian Libraries,” said Richard Ovenden, Bodley’s librarian at the University of Oxford. “We have chosen the finest researchers and academics with the intention of advancing their respective fields through access to our rich holdings and the various forms of digital scholarship employed at the Bodleian. The first group of Gale fellows were able to use Bodleian approaches and collections to significantly advance understanding of the humanities in their research areas, and we are so excited to see what we can achieve together this year.”

The goal of the Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowships is to encourage emerging DH scholarship in the Asia-Pacific region and progress the contribution of non-Western and regional perspectives in the field of DH research. The program increases opportunities for collaboration with other scholars to share new ideas, while providing access to critical tools to support their work. Fellows will become short-term visiting fellows at the University’s Jesus College to allow them access to a range of facilities and resources during their stay.

“We are pleased to continue sponsoring fellowships at the Bodleian Libraries this year. We hope the second-year cohort derives as much value from their stay at Oxford as the first-year cohort,” said Terry Robinson, senior vice president for Gale Global Academic. “Having access to University of Oxford’s world-class facilities, resources and people will undoubtedly enrich their understanding and use of digital scholarship in their projects. We also hope that access to Gale Digital Scholar Lab and Gale Primary Sources at the Bodleian will help them push the boundaries of their research and bring it to the attention of a global audience.”

The fellows will start the program at the University of Oxford in October 2022 and complete it in June 2023.

Gale has been at the forefront of supporting digital scholarship for many years. Gale Digital Scholar Lab was created to address common challenges researchers and scholars face when analyzing large sets of archives. In offering fellowships to scholars in multiple disciplines, Gale is increasing access to text and data mining tools and furthering opportunities in both research and teaching. In June, Gale also announced fellowships to support emerging LGBTQ+ research.

SINGAPORE, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Trip.com, the global travel service provider, has been named the 10th most downloaded OTA app globally in the first half of 2022 by leading app analysis firm Apptopia. The announcement comes as Trip.com continues to expand worldwide with its all-in-one app-first offering.


The success seen in download numbers is guided by Trip.com’s app-first strategy. By applying a balanced mix of approaches learned through experimentation and best practices, Trip.com app installs from marketing channels grew steadily to a total of 6.2 million downloads. In H1 2022, Trip.com app downloads saw double-digit growth compared to H2 2021, reflecting the success of this strategy and increased consumer desire for travel.

Through full utilisation of the trustworthy products and attractive deals presented on Trip.com, new downloads were gained across a variety of app marketing channels. In tandem, a web-to-app strategy also showed great potential in constantly attracting new app users.

Feng Han, Marketing Director at Trip.com, said: “This year, we have experienced an energized, organic recovery of the travel industry. Leveraging this trend, our teams have adopted a targeted and data-oriented approach in each market to encourage users to download the Trip.com app. We are delighted to see our young brand reach the top 10 most downloaded OTA apps globally for the first time ever.

Currently available in 24 languages in 39 countries and regions worldwide, the app gives users easier booking management capabilities, direct access to reliable customer support and exclusive app-only deals.

Trip.com’s breakthrough in Apptopia’s global app download rankings correlates to increased traveller demand as the industry continues to recover following the outbreak of covid. This year, Trip.com’s European sites saw an average monthly growth in traffic of around 10% between April and July. In Asia, countries and regions that have relaxed their travel restrictions have seen an impressive market performance, particularly those in Southeast Asia. Overall in the APAC region, bookings on Trip.com increased by 21% in May and by a further 7.8% in June.

As demand increases, users turn to platforms with a comprehensive scope of services that goes beyond a solely product offering. In turn, Trip.com has looked to grow the engaging travel content hosted on the platform. In the first quarter of this year, daily average content traffic on Trip.com increased by 80% YoY, whilst the content engagement rate on Trip.com grew by 115% YoY.

The UNPROFESSIONAL Competition Awards Ceremony-cum-Media Conference

Leave a comment

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The awards ceremony-cum-media conference of the 2022 UNPROFESSIONAL Competition (the “Competition”) was held successfully today at Capital Dynamics’ Kuala Lumpur office. 

The event started off with a speech from Ms. Tan Mun Lin, Deputy Group CEO of Capital Dynamics, the Organizer and Sponsor of the Competition. Ms Tan lamented that not many Malaysians have seriously thought about the long term and plan for it, as they gradually restore their normal lives after getting hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented floods in Malaysia in the last 2 years. “Hence, Capital Dynamics held the UNPROFESSIONAL Competition to help ordinary Malaysians rebuild their depleted or loss savings. Rebuilding savings is top priority“, said Ms Tan.  

A total of 6 winners won RM56,500 worth of investment units in the i Capital Asia-Pacific ex-Japan BTB Fund, a regular income unit trust fund managed by Capital Dynamics Australia that invests in dividend paying securities and fixed income bonds across the Asia Pacific ex-Japan region. Capital Dynamics wants to help winners grow their prizes through proper investment that will benefit them for the longer term. 

The UNPROFESSIONAL Competition was a global script writing and video creation competition for the ordinary people about the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, loss of health and well-being as well as unemployment. It was open to anyone with an inspiring story to share. Participants need not be professional script writers or video makers. All they need was a motivational story and a device to produce the script or video.  

Winners of the Competition and their family members and close friends attended the unique and heart-warming event. Ashley Koh Jia Ying, one of the winners, teared up when giving her thank-you note as she was grateful to Capital Dynamics for the chance to share her story that was reminiscent of her late mother. Wong Sien Xian and Tan Kim Khuat, two other winners that were also present at the event, expressed their gratitude to Capital Dynamics for providing a platform for their stories to be heard. Generally, winners recounted the hardships experienced over the last 2 plus years. Fortunately, they have now emerged stronger and more positive.
