Pleasure, shame and harm reduction
This qualitative study explores the sociocultural meanings and harm-reduction practices surrounding poppers use among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Twenty in-depth interviews conducted in Guangzhou reveal that poppers are experienced as both a routine facilitator of sexual pleasure and intimacy, and a source of moral tension. Participants valued the physiological and psychological effects that enhanced receptive anal sex and emotional…
A Modified Poisson Mixture Approach to Risk and Intensity of School Violent Victimization, 1976–2023
Violent victimization remains a persistent problem in U.S. schools, yet existing estimates often underestimate its extent due to missing measures of repeat victimization, unspecified risk, and reliance on incident counts. Using 48 waves of nationally representative, repeated cross-sectional data from Monitoring the Future (1976–2023; pooled N = 251,055 12th graders; 46.5% male; 11.5% Black), this study employs modified Poisson mixture models to a…
Interpersonal pandemic impact
This study explores the association between both individuals' and their partners' COVID-19 exposure and individuals' psychological distress among U.S. adults. This cross-sectional study used data from the 2021 cohort of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), a nationally representative probability sample of U.S. adults. Psychological distress was measured using the validated Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-6), with scores ≥ 13 indicat…

Multi‐Isotope Analysis Reveals Human Millet‐Based Diets and Limited Mobility in the Central Plains of China ca. 5000 Years Ago
Unlike the unification of the Miaodigou culture, the late Yangshao period in the Central Plains of ancient China is marked by regional cultural diversity and external influences, necessitating more research into human subsistence and mobility patterns during this period. However, there has been a long‐time lack of direct evidence for the mobility of Yangshao populations. The present study, therefore, aims to address this gap by reconstructing hum…
Social isolation by design
The estimation and measurement of the size of egocentric networks have sparked vigorous discussion and debate. Drawing on datasets from the Taiwan Social Change Survey, this study explores methodological issues pertaining to the change of core networks in Taiwan from 1997 to 2017 via a modified Poisson mixture approach, assesses the efficiency of name generators as a survey instrument via Fisher Information Maximizer, and investigates the role of…

The Design and Optimality of Survey Counts
Grouped and right-censored (GRC) counts have been used in a wide range of attitudinal and behavioural surveys yet they cannot be readily analyzed or assessed by conventional statistical models. This study develops a unified regression framework for the design and optimality of GRC counts in surveys. To process infinitely many grouping schemes for the optimum design, we propose a new two-stage algorithm, the Fisher Information Maximizer (FIM), whi…
Has Perceived Corporate Social Responsibility Attracted Job Seekers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The traditional corporate employment relationship in China has changed under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but how to attract core talent remains an urgent challenge for companies to address. Using the stereotype content model, we constructed a moderated mediation model to explore the mechanism and boundary conditions of the effect of perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) on job seekers. We conducted two mock recruitment experime…
Neoliberalization and inequality
The neoliberalization of housing policy and housing financialization have brought unequal impacts on housing outcomes. Drawing on eight waves of census data, this study uncovers the changing mechanism of housing stratification in selected Canadian census metropolitan areas from 1981 to 2016, a period when Canada transitioned from a welfare housing regime to a neoliberal regime. This study reveals entrenched housing inequality and strengthened inc…
Latent profiles of biological dysregulation and risk of mortality
BACKGROUND: There is a well-established relationship between high allostatic load (AL) and increased risk of mortality. This study expands on the literature by combined latent profile analysis (LPA) with survival data analysis techniques to assess the degree to which AL status is associated with time to death. METHODS: LPA was employed to identify underlying classes of biological dysregulation among a sample of 815 participants from the Midlife i…
Real-world study of the effectiveness of BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) Covid-19 vaccine in the Kingdom of Morocco
Effectiveness of Sinopharm's BBIBP-CorV was consistent with phase III clinical trial results. Two doses of BBIBP-CorV was highly protective against COVID-19-associated serious or critical hospitalization in working-age adults under real-world conditions and moderately effective in older adults. Booster dose vaccination was associated with complete protection, regardless of age, although only a small proportion of subjects received booster doses

Detecting temporal anomalies with pseudo age groups
Methodological advances in demographic research, especially age‐period‐cohort (APC) analysis, primarily focus on developing new models yet often fail to consider practical concerns in empirical analysis. We propose a mixed approach that integrates multiple data imputation and structural change analysis in time series so that scholars can (i) construct pseudo age groups based on more coarsely grouped age data and (ii) identify temporal anomalies. …
Ancient DNA indicates human population shifts and admixture in northern and southern China
A genetic history of China The history of human movements into and within China has been difficult to determine solely from archaeological investigations or genetic studies of contemporary peoples. Yang et al. sequenced DNA from 26 individuals from 9500 to 300 years ago from locations within China. Analyses of these individuals, along with previously sequenced ancient individuals and present-day genomes representing global populations, show a spl…
Local State Marketism
Drawing on an institutional analysis of China's urban housing and land market, this research demonstrates how the triangular relations among the central government, local governments, and the market evolved in response to new opportunities continuously created by market transformation and policies strictly enforced by the central government. In particular, the authors argue that the territory-based coalition between local governments and selectiv…
When fiscal recentralisation meets urban reforms
By retrieving household-level information from 127,938 household heads and fiscal data from 177 prefectures located in eastern and central China, this research quantifies the net association between land finance and urban housing tenure. While the results demonstrate that in 2005 China’s urban housing market remained stratified and simultaneously favoured individuals possessing economic, political and human capital, the key finding is that, net o…
Educational Inequality under China's Rural-Urban Divide
We use microsample data from the 2005 (1%) National Population Sample Survey in southeast China and examine the relationship between the effect of hukou status on income and return to education under China's rural-urban divide. For labor-market return we find that: (1) the influence of hukou status is deeply rooted in an indivdual's other key features (occupation, years of schooling, and working location) in the labor market, and (2) hukou status…
The Weaknesses of Civic Territorial Organizations
China's massive transformation in urban governance, which is characterized by breaking the link between workplace and residence and consolidating state territorial agencies at the grassroots level, has profound implications for urban residents. While community building is employed as a deliberate (top-down) approach to restore a governable urban society, the establishment, development and problems of bottom-up civic territorial organizations - ho…
The persistence of power despite the changing meaning of homeownership
Using nine successive waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data set, this study employs hierarchical age-period-cohort logistic models (HAPC) to analyse temporal patterns of urban homeownership from 1989 to 2011. With the changing meaning of homeownership due to housing reforms, the strong period increases in homeownership track policy changes and the most dramatic increase occurs mainly in the era of housing privatisation rather…

Socioeconomic determinants of childhood overweight and obesity in China
Previous studies have widely reported that the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and childhood overweight and obesity in China is significant and positive, which lends little support to the fundamental-cause perspective. Using multiple waves (1997, 2000, 2004 and 2006) of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) (N = 2,556, 2,063, 1,431 and 1,242, respectively) and continuous BMI cut-points obtained from a polynomial method, (mix…

Neighborhood conflicts in urban China
Although urban neighborhood conflicts have drawn widespread attention, their possible link with neighborhood perception has not been quantified in the existing literature. Based on a recent neighborhood-based survey of urban residents in Guangzhou, China, this study investigates the structure, determinants, and consequences of neighborhood conflicts. In particular, it finds that there is inherently a subjective dimension embedded in neighborhood …
Toward a Relational Account of Neighborhood Governance
Although changes in urban space often mean a restructuring of social relations, few studies elucidate why network-related frameworks are inherently related to residential outcomes in urban neighborhoods. By proposing a relational account of neighborhood governance, we investigate outcomes of neighborhood governance by incorporating a series of measures of network forms of organization, network-based social capital, and neighborly interactions. Ba…
Cross-City Variations in Housing Outcomes in Postreform China
Using the 2005 microcensus data set, this research adopts a multilevel approach to examine housing outcomes in relation to city-level contexts. We find that housing stratification in contemporary China is not homogeneous across cities but rather is spatially dynamic and conditioned by local contexts. Net of other effects, per capita gross domestic product and housing price are significantly associated with housing outcomes in the open market, whe…

Live like mosquitoes
Although there has been a longstanding curiosity about the socio-political consequences of China’s remarkable urban–rural divide, we have yet to understand the divide’s possible influence on mental health. Using data from the 2016 wave of the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS), we find that depressive symptoms of both rural–urban migrants and rural residents are significantly higher than those of urban residents. Consistent with the fundame…
Spatial equity in accessing secondary education
Whereas education inequality has attracted wide scholarly attention, there has been little attention paid to the spatial patterns of schools or, more specifically, the spatial equity of secondary schools. This study investigates the spatial patterns of secondary schools (regular vs. key) in Guangzhou, China and disparities in school accessibility among different social groups at the neighbourhood level. We use a two‐step floating catchment area m…

Association of Depressive Symptoms and School Adolescents' Smoking
This study examined the association of depressive symptoms of adolescents and their smoking behavior. A national cohort sample of school adolescents (N = 5,855) who participated in the 1989 and 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey was obtained. The information from this survey included measures of smoking behavior and a series of factors related to depressive symptoms during a 3-yr. span. A cross-lagged analysis with Kendall tau b correlat…
Osteoporotic Fracture among Older U.S. Women
The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model for osteoporotic fracture among a national sample of 2,325 women ages 50 years and older. Predictors for examination included age, race, heredity, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, smoking status, alcohol use, and dairy product use. Analyses were conducted using Standard Analysis System (SAS) procedures. Strong risk factors predicting osteoporotic fracture included age, race, low…

Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia
Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual is from a group that shares a common origin with Neanderthals. This population was not involved in the putative gene flow from Neanderthals into Eurasians; however, the data suggest that it contributed 4–6% of its genetic material to the genomes of present-day Melanesians…

DNA analysis of an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave, China
Hominins with morphology similar to present-day humans appear in the fossil record across Eurasia between 40,000 and 50,000 y ago. The genetic relationships between these early modern humans and present-day human populations have not been established. We have extracted DNA from a 40,000-y-old anatomically modern human from Tianyuan Cave outside Beijing, China. Using a highly scalable hybridization enrichment strategy, we determined the DNA sequen…

Sex, Socioeconomic and Regional Disparities in Age Trajectories of Childhood BMI, Underweight and Overweight in China
Using a longitudinal dataset from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), growth curve models were employed to examine age trajectories of BMI for 1,694 subjects who were aged 2-11 in 1993 and followed in four waves (1997, 2000, 2004 and 2006). Based on age- and sex-specific BMI cut-points recommended for international use, the prevalence rates of overweight and underweight in the transition from childhood to adulthood (age 6-18) were also …
Does Urbanisation Matter? A Temporal Analysis of the Socio‐demographic Gradient in the Rising Adulthood Overweight Epidemic in China, 1989–2009
Using eight successive waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey, this study applies hierarchical age–period–cohort models to investigate the rising prevalence rates of adulthood overweight in China. We find that overweight prevalence rates increase throughout adulthood until the early 50s. Period effects are very strong with a virtually monotonic increase from 1989 to 2009. Yet, as posited by the reversal hypothesis (a diminishing positive …
