Quantile Modeling for Political Research
Quantile models are widely used across the natural and social sciences to analyze heterogeneous phenomena that conventional mean-based approaches often obscure. Yet, despite their growing importance in many disciplines, their adoption in political science has remained comparatively limited, in part because the field still lacks an accessible introduction tailored to its substantive questions and empirical practices. This Element addresses that ga…
Compliance with negotiated military dispute settlement
This article integrates two strands of game-theoretical literature, one on delegated bargaining and the other on compliance, to explain the failure of the two key military dispute-settlement agreements between Russia and Ukraine. While both strands of literature analyze principal–agent problems, they reach contrasting conclusions about the role of transparency and the public’s role in securing agreements and ensuring compliance. We reconcile thes…
Depression and cognition mediated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder to improve the activities of daily living in Parkinson’s disease patients
This study demonstrates that depression and cognition can work independently and together, and that reducing depressive symptoms or improving cognition can mediate the reduction of RBD to improve the ADL of PD patients. Notably, this mediating effect gradually intensifies as the duration of the disease progresses. These findings highlight that for PD patients, preventing emotional depression and cognitive decline in the early stage of the disease…
Improving studies of sensitive topics using prior evidence
Estimates of sensitive questions from list experiments are often much less precise than desired. We address this well-known inefficiency problem by presenting an informative Bayesian approach that combines indirect measures with prior information. Specifying informed priors amounts to a principled combination of information that increases the efficiency of model estimates. This framework generalizes a range of different modeling approaches for li…
The legal boundaries of creativity
This study employs Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of the juridical field to examine how China’s Copyright Law is being adapted to regulate AI-generated content in video game development. It investigates how lawyers, as a key institutional actor, mediate the tension between technological innovations and established copyright doctrines. The analysis shows how intellectual property lawyers extend copyright governance to AI-generated works, balancing the …

Addressing a critical gap in the literature, it centres the perspectives of Chinese developers, key yet understudied actors in the global gaming industry. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of cultural production, the study examines the tension between creativity and commercial imperatives in China’s …
Crisis governance and protest during the covid-19 pandemic in Europe
Why do some crisis-response policies trigger more protests than others? What does this reveal about how governments should introduce restrictive–but necessary–measures during times of crisis? This paper revisits prevailing explanations for protests against Covid-19 policies by proposing a conditional grievance theory of protest. We argue that the protest-inducing effect of containment measures depends not only on their restrictiveness, but also o…
How to control an official? Personnel supervision in China (political aspect)
The purpose of the article is to determine the place of party supervision in the general course of political control of managerial personnel in the People's Republic of China. In the system of political control of personnel (selection, recruiting, upbringing, education, training, retraining, encouragement, punishment), supervision is the main political function of ensuring the quality and loyalty of a party and state official. The study is based …
Future intensification of co-occurrences of heat, PM 2.5 and O 3 extremes in China and India despite stringent air pollution controls
Heat and air pollution extremes are two leading global health stressors, both of which are particularly serious in China and India. It is well recognized that exposure to co-occurrence of heat and air pollution extremes will cause amplified health outcomes, yet century‐long understanding of future co‐occurrence is still lacking. On the basis of sophisticated regional coupled climate-chemistry modeling, we predict future individual and joint occur…
The impacts of shipping emissions on lightning
Long-term (2005–2021) observations from the World Wide Lightning Location Network reveal significantly larger flash counts over heavily trafficked shipping lanes in the northeastern Indian Ocean compared to nearby regions. Here, we use the online coupled meteorology-chemistry model WRF-Chem to examine the impact of aerosols from shipping emissions on lightning activity over one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes (5–7° N, 82–92° E). We conduct …
Strategic postponement of coalition policymaking in European Parliamentary democracies
Coalition policymaking concerns not only who decides what in which jurisdiction but also when, how speedy and in what rhythm. Due to the limited time budget and shadow of future elections, parties in charge of respective ministerial portfolios have to strategically organize their policy agendas to trade off between policy and electoral incentives in the face of coalition partners who monitor and control ministerial autonomy. However, despite the …
Hollywood Genre, Cultural Hybridity, and Musical Films in 1950s Hong Kong
Following the trauma of the Second World War, Hong Kong, under British governance, enjoyed considerable economic and political freedom to establish a local entertainment industry. Musical films became a major genre of Hong Kong’s film releases in the 1950s. Local melodramas, Hollywood musicals, celebrities, and ideals of female beauty were all present in the growth of Hong Kong musical films, which culminated in a glorious display of cinematic ar…
Using Regionalized Air Quality Model Performance and Bayesian Maximum Entropy data fusion to map global surface ozone concentration
Estimates of ground-level ozone concentrations have been improved through data fusion of observations and atmospheric chemistry models. Our previous global ozone estimates for the Global Burden of Disease study corrected for bias uniformly across continents and then corrected near monitoring stations using the Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) framework for data fusion. Here, we use the Regionalized Air Quality Model Performance (RAMP) framework to …
A synergistic ozone-climate control to address emerging ozone pollution challenges
Tropospheric ozone threatens human health and crop yields, exacerbates global warming, and fundamentally changes atmospheric chemistry. Evidence has pointed toward widespread ozone increases in the troposphere, and particularly surface ozone is chemically complex and difficult to abate. Despite past successes in some regions, a solution to new challenges of ozone pollution in a warming climate remains unexplored. In this perspective, by compiling…

Enhancement of Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter associated with the sudden stratospheric warming
Surface ozone is an important pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Here, we find that the Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter was evidently enhanced after the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) onset based on reanalysis data and simulations of a state-of-the-art chemistry-climate model. Further analysis suggests that this enhancement of Arctic surface ozone is primarily a result of the strengthening of the stratos…
Attribution of the 2020 surge in atmospheric methane by inverse analysis of Gosat observations
Atmospheric methane mixing ratio rose by 15 ppbv between 2019 and 2020, the fastest growth rate on record. We conduct a global inverse analysis of 2019–2020 Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite observations of atmospheric methane to analyze the combination of sources and sinks driving this surge. The imbalance between sources and sinks of atmospheric methane increased by 31 Tg a −1 from 2019 to 2020, representing a 36 Tg a −1 forcing (direct chan…
Agenda Control and Timing of Bill Initiation
Although democratic governance imposes temporal constraints, the timing of government policy making activities such as bill initiation is still poorly understood. This holds especially under coalition governments, in which government bills need to find approval by a partner party in parliament. We propose a dynamic temporal perspective in which ministers do not know whether they face a cooperative or competitive partner at the beginning of a term…

Growing centralization in China’s farmland protection policy in response to policy failure and related upward-extending unwillingness to protect farmland since 1978
Since 1978, China has experienced a rapid loss of arable land, leading to centralizing of farmland protection policies. To understand the growing centralization, this paper has used the lens of the interactions among (1) unwillingness to protect farmland among diverse actors, (2) policy failure and (3) policy change. The growing centralization is an adaptive response to the unwillingness to protect farmland from local up to provincial government …

Discrete Choice Data with Unobserved Heterogeneity
In political science, data with heterogeneous units are used in many studies, such as those involving legislative proposals in different policy areas, electoral choices by different types of voters, and government formation in varying party systems. To disentangle decision-making mechanisms by units, traditional discrete choice models focus exclusively on the conditional mean and ignore the heterogeneous effects within a population. This paper pr…
First-trimester anesthesia exposure and the risk of central nervous system defects
OBJECTIVES. Although up to 2% of women undergo surgery during pregnancy, teratogenic effects of general anesthesia have not been adequately studied. Recently, an association between first-trimester operations and central nervous system defects has been described. This issue was explored in a population-based case-control study. METHODS. Case patients included live-born and stillborn infants with central nervous system defects born to residents of…

The impact of aerosol–radiation interactions on the effectiveness of emission control measures
Temporary emission control measures in Beijing and surrounding regions have become a prevailing practice to ensure good air quality for major events (e.g. the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit on 5–11 November 2014) and to mitigate the severity of coming pollution episodes. Since PM _2.5 affects meteorology via aerosol–meteorology interactions, a question arises how these interactions may impact the response of PM _2.5 to emission r…

Should I stay or should I go? British voter you got to let me know! Prime Ministers, intra-party conflict, and membership referendums in the British Westminster model
We explain the referendums on British membership of the European Communities and European Union from a principal–agent perspective between the Prime Minister and the rank-and-file. We show that announcing a referendum on the Prime Minister’s membership proposal helps the incumbent party to win the general election when the rank-and-file is divided on the terms of membership. When the Prime Minister overcomes the rank-and-file’s mistrust of her ef…

Unprecedented decline in summertime surface ozone over eastern China in 2020 comparably attributable to anthropogenic emission reductions and meteorology
China’s nationwide monitoring network initiated in 2013 has witnessed continuous increases of urban summertime surface ozone to 2019 by about 5% year −1 , among the fastest ozone trends in the recent decade reported in the Tropospheric ozone assessment report. Here we report that surface ozone levels averaged over cities in eastern China cities decrease by 5.5 ppbv in May–August 2020 compared to the 2019 levels, representing an unprecedented ozon…
Interannual variation of reactive nitrogen emissions and their impacts on PM 2.5 air pollution in China during 2005–2015
Emissions of reactive nitrogen as ammonia (NH 3 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ), together with sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), contribute to formation of secondary PM 2.5 in the atmosphere. Satellite observations of atmospheric NH 3 , NO 2 , and SO 2 levels since the 2000s provide valuable information to constrain the spatial and temporal variability of their emissions. Here we present a bottom-up Chinese NH 3 emission inventory combined with top-down esti…
The gray matter volume of the right insula mediates the relationship between symptoms of depression/anxiety and sleep quality among college students
This study investigated the neuroanatomical basis of the association between depression/anxiety and sleep quality among 370 college students. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between sleep quality and depression/anxiety. Moreover, mediation results showed that the gray matter volume of the right insula mediated the relationship between depression/anxiety and sleep quality, which suggested that depression/anxiety may aff…
