Decoding multi-frequency scale climate-dengue dynamics
Dengue fever is a growing global health threat. Previous studies indicate that climate conditions drive dengue transmission. However, the mechanisms by which climate signals operate at different frequency scales remain poorly understood. Here, focusing on Singapore, we examine multi-frequency relationships between climate factors and dengue transmission. We aim to elucidate underlying mechanisms and to develop a mechanism-driven model for short-t…

This study aims to develop a multimodal multi-task learning framework that concurrently performs automated detection and classification of COPD. Methods: Retrospective multi-task model fusing computed tomography (CT) and clinical data (n = 2320) at a tertiary hosp…
Physical activity monitoring using wearable devices based on machine learning algorithms
Wearable accelerometers provide an important source for continuous physical activity monitoring, but high-frequency signals often suffer from missing labels, temporal discontinuity, and inter-individual variability, limiting their direct use in behavioral health analysis. This study proposes an integrated framework for wrist-worn tri-axial accelerometer data. The dataset includes 100 participants under free-living conditions, each monitored for a…
Gender differences in the long-term impact of early-life exposure to war on physical and mental health
Background: Several studies have examined the impact of exposure to war in early life on long-term health outcomes. However, few studies have examined differences in these effects by gender and type of war. This study examines the impact of exposure to multiple war events before the age of 10 on the long-term physical and mental health of adults aged 65 years and older in China, as well as differences these effects between wars of aggression and …

Sustainable banking practices, financial stability, and performance
In response to growing global concerns about sustainability, banks are increasingly integrating green and responsible practices into their core operations. This study examines the relationships between sustainable banking practices, financial stability, and financial performance in the Chinese banking sector, drawing on Stakeholder Theory and Legitimacy Theory. Using survey data collected from bank employees in China and analyzed through Partial …
Cooperative Rearing and Low Fertility Persistence
Despite expanded family policy spending across high‐income countries, fertility remains low. Quasi‐experimental evidence shows that cash and tax transfers tend to shift fertility mainly among lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups, with smaller or null effects among socioeconomically advantaged groups. We propose a two‐constraint framework that distinguishes financial constraints (children are unaffordable) from organizational constraints (care …
Reframing nature connectedness as a psychosocial mechanism for youth mental health
Nature connectedness has emerged as an increasingly important resource for addressing the growing global challenge of youth mental health. Moving beyond exposure-based accounts of greenspace contact, this conceptual analysis reframes nature connectedness as a modifiable psychosocial mechanism in adolescent development. Integrating evidence and theory from developmental and environmental psychology, public health, and social science, we propose a …

The degree of educational participation in later life and subjective well-being in China
With the rapid development of education for older adults in China, the link between education participation and mental health/subjective well-being (SWB) among older adults has received increasing attention. Rather than merely considering whether older adults participate in late-life learning or attend educational institutions, the extent of their engagement in educational activities may be more influential in determining SWB. The current study a…
Want a worry-free trip? Seeking the optimal travel paradigm in view of public-to-individual risk perception
In travel decision-making, searching for the optimal travel paradigm is crucial, with risk perception playing a pivotal role. Despite its significance, a comprehensive understanding of risk perception from various sources within the travel population and its implications for choosing the best travel mode remains limited in existing literature. This paper offers a twofold contribution to the field to address this gap. Firstly, it presents an innov…
The age separating early deaths from late deaths
There is a unique threshold age separating early deaths from late deaths such that averting an early death decreases life disparity, but averting a late death increases inequality in lifespans
Social Participation and Subjective Well-Being Among Retirees in China
Losses of Expected Lifetime in the United States and Other Developed Countries
Patterns of diversity in age at death are examined using e†, a dispersion measure that equals the average expected lifetime lost at death. We apply two methods for decomposing differences in e†. The first method estimates the contributions of average levels of mortality and mortality age structures. The second (and newly developed) method returns components produced by differences between age- and cause-specific mortality rates. The United States…

Age and reemployment success after job loss
Despite widespread popular concern about what it means to be over 40 and unemployed, little attention has been paid in the literature to clarifying the role of age within the job seeking experience. Extending theory, we propose mechanisms by which chronological age affects job search and reemployment outcomes after job loss. Through a meta-analysis and examination of 2 supplemental datasets, we examine 5 questions: (a) How strong is the relations…
Attrition in heterogeneous cohorts
In a heterogeneous cohort, the change with age in the force of mortality or some other kind of hazard or intensity of attrition depends on how the hazard changes with age for the individuals in the cohort and on how the composition of the cohort change

Top‐down and bottom‐up
Based on social exchange theory, we develop and test a longitudinal model in which leaders' expressed humility and team members' helping behavior reciprocally influence each other over time and ultimately predict subsequent team performance and turnover. Using multisource, 3‐wave repeated measures data from 281 work teams, our cross‐lagged panel modeling results supported the hypotheses. We found that leader humility increased subsequent team hel…

Sex determination of human skeletal populations using latent profile analysis
Accurately estimating biological sex from the human skeleton can be especially difficult for fragmentary or incomplete remains often encountered in bioarchaeological contexts. Where typical anatomically dimorphic skeletal regions are incomplete or absent, observers often take their best guess to classify biological sex. Latent profile analysis (LPA) is a mixture modeling technique which uses observed continuous data to estimate unobserved categor…
Genetic underpinnings of survey response
This study investigates the influence of genetic factors on survey response behavior. A pool of 558 male and 500 female twin pairs from the Minnesota Twin Registry (MTR) was asked to complete a paper‐and‐pencil survey of leadership activities. We used quantitative genetics techniques to estimate the genetic, shared environmental, and nonshared environmental effects on people's compliance with the request for survey participation. Results indicate…
Responses to Feedback
The feedback literature has largely been developed under two divergent assumptions: individuals are either passive receivers or proactive seekers of feedback. We bridge these two literatures using affective events theory and expand understanding of the relationships between feedback delivered as part of a performance evaluation process and self-sought feedback (feedback seeking) by theorizing about feedback through a within-person, episodic lens …
Cause-of-Death Contributions to Educational Inequalities in Mortality in Austria between 1981/1982 and 1991/1992
This article uses census records and deaths records to analyze trends in educational inequalities in mortality for Austrian women and men aged 35-64 years between 1981/1982 and 1991/1992. We find an increasing gradient in mortality by education for circulatory diseases and especially ischaemic heart disease. Respiratory diseases and, in addition for women, cancers showed the opposite trend. Using decomposition analysis, we give evidence that in m…
Long-term orientation and the passage of time
Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are one of the most commonly referenced cultural models in the literature, but it has also been criticized for its inflexibility in terms of allowing for cultural changes over time. In this study, we focus on one salient dimension of national culture, long-term orientation (LTO), to investigate cultural change over time. Using the LTO scale developed by Bearden et al. ((2006) A measure of long-term orientation: deve…
Outdoor group activity, depression, and subjective well-being among retirees of China
This study examined the effect of outdoor group activity on mental health and the potential mediating effect of meaning in life. Participants were 559 retired people. A self-developed questionnaire measured outdoor group activity; the Meaning in Life Scale, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression assessed meaning in life, subjective well-being, and depression, respectively. Results ind…
It is also in our nature
Work design research typically views employee work characteristics as being primarily determined by the work environment and has thus paid less attention to the possibility that the person may also influence employee work characteristics and in turn accounts for the work characteristics–well‐being relationships through selection. Challenging this conventional view, we investigated the role of a fundamental individual difference variable—people's …

HIV prevention among street-based sex workers (SSWs) in Chongqing, China
Street-based female sex workers (SSWs) are subjected to a relatively high risk of HIV transmission, even higher than establishment-based female sex workers in China. However, very few HIV intervention programmes have targeted this particular group to date. Based in Southwest China, this study aims to identify perceived barriers, demands and suggestions on HIV prevention from the perspectives of SSWs, clients and healthcare providers in Chongqing.…
From Ah Q to Lei Feng
Wendy Larson's book makes an important contribution to the study of twentieth-century Chinese literature and film by revealing the productive tension between cultural studies approaches and neoformalism. Larson's shift from Freudian theory to neoformalism exemplifies a text-centered approach that is thoroughly informed but not overwhelmed by the critical trends in new historicism and cultural studies. Focusing on five stories and films produced i…

An Amorous History of the Silver Screen
Shanghai in the early twentieth century was alive with art and culture. With the proliferation of popular genres such as the martial arts film, the contest among various modernist filmmakers, and the advent of sound, Chinese cinema was transforming urban life. But with the Japanese invasion in 1937, all of this came to a screeching halt. Until recently, the political establishment has discouraged comprehensive studies of the cultural phenomenon o…

A preliminary study of food transfer in sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )
Food transfer happens regularly in a few nonhuman primates species that are also characterized by remarkable social tolerance. Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ), or golden monkeys, which exhibit high social tolerance in their social relationships are thus of interest to see whether tolerance would extend to food transfer. In this study, branch feeding activity was observed in a semi‐captive group of Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys…
Lay Theories of Personality and Helping Among Chinese Undergraduates
In all agencies, lay beliefs of a person are closely related to frequency, tendency and quality of prosocial behaviors. Potential helpers who hold an incremental theory of personality (belief that a person's attributes are malleable), will be more willing to help socially stigmatized groups than those who hold an entity theory of personality (belief that a person's attributes are fixed (Karafantis & Levy, 2004; West, 2003). Based on this recent e…

Future‐oriented Sensemaking
Sensemaking is the process by which people construct, interpret, and recognize meaningful features of the world. Although retrospective sensemaking is a key property of the Weickian approach, sensemaking can also orient to the future. This chapter explores the social processes and practices of future‐oriented sensemaking to understand how it is accomplished, how it relates to other temporal dimensions, and how it legitimates institutions. To do s…

Psychometric properties of the 10‐item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale in Chinese earthquake victims
Aim: Resilience refers to positive adaption in the face of stress or trauma. Assessing resilience is crucial in trauma‐related research and practice. The 10‐item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC) has been demonstrated to be a valid and reliable tool to achieve this goal. This study was designed to examine the psychometric properties of the 10‐item CD‐RISC in a sample of Chinese earthquake victims. Methods: A total of 341 participants (18…
A general multilevel SEM framework for assessing multilevel mediation.
Several methods for testing mediation hypotheses with 2-level nested data have been proposed by researchers using a multilevel modeling (MLM) paradigm. However, these MLM approaches do not accommodate mediation pathways with Level-2 outcomes and may produce conflated estimates of between- and within-level components of indirect effects. Moreover, these methods have each appeared in isolation, so a unified framework that integrates the existing me…

DESIGN: International comparison of national life table data from the Human Mortality Database. SETTING: 40 developed countries and regions, 1840-2009. POPULATION: Men and women of all ages. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: We use two summary measures of mortality: life expectancy and life disparity. Li…
Psychological Capital and Employee Performance
The positive core construct of psychological capital (consisting of efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience) has been conceptually and empirically demonstrated to be related to employee performance. However, much of this work has relied on cross‐sectional designs to examine these relationships. This study utilizes longitudinal data from a large financial service organization ( N = 179 financial advisory‐type employees) to examine within‐individu…
Alternative Methods for Assessing Mediation in Multilevel Data
Multilevel modeling (MLM) is a popular way of assessing mediation effects with clustered data. Two important limitations of this approach have been identified in prior research and a theoretical rationale has been provided for why multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) should be preferred. However, to date, no empirical evidence of MSEM's advantages relative to MLM approaches for multilevel mediation analysis has been provided. Nor has it…
Genetic Underpinnings of Transformational Leadership
In this study, the authors investigate the extent to which dispositional hope mediates genetic influences on transformational leadership. Based on a sample of female twins (214 identical and 178 fraternal) from the Minnesota Twin Registry, results indicated that 53% of the variance in hope and 49% of the variance in transformational leadership were accounted for by genetic factors. After controlling for positive emotionality and negative emotiona…

Leader-Follower Congruence in Proactive Personality and Work Outcomes
Drawing upon prior research on proactive personality and person-environment fit, we examine the congruence effect of leader and follower proactive personality on leader-member exchange (LMX) quality, which in turn influences follower job satisfaction, affective commitment, and job performance. Results of cross-level polynomial regressions on 165 dyads supported the congruence effect hypothesis. Further, asymmetrical incongruence effects were foun…
