Ethanolic extract of Selaginella tamariscina alleviates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis by restoring epithelial barrier function
Horse selection for sacrificial practice in Qin culture during the late Warring States period
Horse sacrifice played an essential role in the elite mortuary ritual from the Shang period (ca. 16th century to 11th century BCE) down to the first unification of China under the Qin Dynasty. Whilst numerous historical texts, corroborated by archaeological discoveries, have attested to its importance, the lack of detailed zooarchaeological analysis has limited deeper understanding of the principles underlying horse selection and, more broadly, t…
Household carbon emissions analysis under aging population scenarios in China
Beyond the core
We investigate spatial variation in migrant integration across Chinese prefecture-level cities, focusing on the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta clusters. Based on survey data from 2011 to 2017, we assess integration across four dimensions—economic integration, social adaptation, cultural assimilation, and identity recognition—using principal component analysis to construct an evaluation system and calculate integ…

Unfolding the policy dynamics of medical data assetization in Chinese public healthcare institutions
Background: As medical data increasingly functions as a factor of production, public healthcare systems face the challenge of reconciling data-driven innovation with regulatory accountability. In China, a series of national initiatives has sought to promote the assetization of medical data through market-oriented mechanisms. However, existing studies have primarily focused on legal frameworks, technical architectures, and ownership debates, while…

Construction material supply for post-Cyclone Gabrielle transport infrastructure recovery in New Zealand
A shortage of local construction materials and inefficient supply chains can severely impede post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. Yet, the extant literature offers limited insights into the material supply processes in relation to transport infrastructure recovery and extreme weather events. To address the gap, this paper adopted a case study approach, including literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and on-site observations, to exa…

Female, male, two-sex fertility rates and their population projections
Fertility behavior is jointly determined by both the mother and the father. However, fertility is traditionally defined as the number of children born to women in demography and related studies. Consequently, the female total fertility rate (TFR) becomes the most important indicator of fertility level, and the population projections issued by the governments and the United Nations are female renewal, of which the births are produced by women only…
Spatiotemporal differentiation and trade-off/synergy relationships of ecosystem service values in a national park pilot area in China
The scientific evaluation of the ecosystem service value (ESV) of national parks and understanding the trade-offs and synergies between different ecosystem services (ESs) are crucial for advancing the establishment of China’s national park system. However, current research on ESs in national parks is mostly focused on the value assessment of certain types of services. The analysis of their impacts under specific socioeconomic conditions remains v…
Deconstructing the map of the paradigm struggle
Understanding the contemporaneity of non-Western art has gained significant attention from scholars across various academic disciplines and different countries. With respect to the notion of “contemporaneity” of contemporary Chinese art, the related theoretical struggles suggest a complex paradigm map that consists of the geographically distinct sociocultural, economic, ideological, political, historical, ethnic and gender characteristics of the …
Pricing of Product Line Along With Its Value-Added Services With Consideration of Effects of Reference Price
Customers’ price comparison behavior and search cost evaluation play a pivotal role in shaping purchasing utility and enterprise pricing strategies. This study employs the multinomial logit (MNL) model to integrate the reference price and search cost into product line design. We probe into pure bundle and mixed bundle pricing decisions for the product line and value-added services in monopolistic settings and delve into the impacts of the referen…
How risk communication affects public trust in government
Introduction Conspiracy narratives are a prevalent narrative framework in risk communication, often provoking public fear and defensive reactions, challenging the healthy interaction between governments and the public in social governance. Method Through two survey experiments, this study explores the effects of conspiracy narratives on public trust in government and the moderating role of policy expectations. Results In Study 1 ( N = 119), consp…
Association between low-concentration PM2.5 exposure and emergency department visits for cardiovascular diseases
Introduction: Substantial epidemiological evidence suggests that both short- and long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, uncertainty persists regarding the cardiovascular effects of low-level PM2.5 exposure. This study aimed to clarify the association between PM2.5 and CVD morbidity in Haikou, China. Methods: A time-series design with Distributed Lag Non-linear Models (DLNMs) was…
Coherent mortality forecasts for a group of populations
Mortality patterns and trajectories in closely related populations are likely to be similar in some respects, and differences are unlikely to increase in the long run. It should therefore be possible to improve the mortality forecasts for individual countries by taking into account the patterns in a larger group. Using the Human Mortality Database, we apply the Lee-Carter model to a group of populations, allowing each its own age pattern and leve…
Restraining Population Growth in Three Chinese Villages, 1988-93
Fertility decline during 1988-92 in three villages in the southern fringe of Xianyang City in central Shaanxi province of China is discussed. Decline is attributed to the number of women marrying changes in first and second births and social and political changes. Minister Peng attributes the decline in Chinas fertility to 1.90 children in 1992 to an increased emphasis on birth planning by leaders at all levels and rapid economic development. The…
Extending the Lee-Carter Method to Model the Rotation of Age Patterns of Mortality Decline for Long-Term Projections
In developed countries, mortality decline is decelerating at younger ages and accelerating at old ages, a phenomenon we call “rotation.” We expect that this rotation will also occur in developing countries as they attain high life expectancies. But the rotation is subtle and has proved difficult to handle in mortality models that include all age groups. Without taking it into account, however, long-term mortality projections will produce question…
Mitigation pathways toward sustainable development
The income and pollution relationship is widely debated in the literature, but income alone cannot control emissions, and that requires environmental regulation measures. Even though weak environmental regulations may offset market failures caused by negative externality of pollution, investigation of their role in the control of environmental pollution is of prime importance. To better understand the role of environmental regulations in carbon e…
Polarization of public trust in scientists between 1978 and 2018
The U.S. public's trust in scientists reached a new high in 2019 despite the collision of science and politics witnessed by the country. This study examines the cross-decade shift in public trust in scientists by analyzing General Social Survey data (1978-2018) using interpretable machine learning algorithms. The results suggest a polarization of public trust as political ideology made an increasingly important contribution to predicting trust ov…
Population momentum for gradual demographic transitions
Population momentum is the ratio of a population's ultimate size after a demographic transition to its initial size before the transition. For an instantaneous drop to replacement fertility, Nathan Keyfitz found a simple expression M K for the momentum. However, as Keyfitz pointed out, `no one thinks that any country will drop immediately to stationary reproduction patterns'. We present results concerning the momentum of a population whose demogr…
Cultural Transmission of Uxorilocal Marriage in Lueyang, China
In this article, the authors report on a study of the cultural transmission of uxorilocal marriage in Lueyang, China. They find that uxorilocal marriage has been commonly accepted and practiced in Lueyang since the beginning of this century, and uxorilocal marriage has been both a contingent and an institutional option for farmers with both preservative and practical purposes. Causes underlying contingent uxorilocal marriage are mostly demographi…
Migrant and Non-Migrant Families in Chengdu, China
This study documented the experiences of Chinese rural-urban migrant children and their parents living in the host city of Chengdu, China. It was informed by previous studies but applied a theoretical lens cultural reproduction theory-to reveal deeper understanding of rural-urban migrant families' lives in the city of Chengdu. Participants in this study were 10 families-10 migrant parents, 10 local Chengdu resident parents, 5 local Chengdu childr…
The Evolution of China's Naval Strategy and Capabilities
This study first shows that China's naval strategy has undergone two major changes: from "near-coast defense" prior to the mid-1980s to "near-seas active defense" after the mid-1980s, and then to the advancement of a "far-seas operations" strategy. Related to the evolution of naval strategy is the change in naval capabilities: from limited capabilities for coastal defense to more expansive capabilities to operate more effectively in China's near …
Levels of Change in Adolescent Sexual Behavior in Three Asian Cities
Considerable change in the romantic and sexual behaviors of Asian young people may be occurring as traditionally Confucian societies modernize and increase outside contacts. This study explores the dimensions and context of this change in three sites at different stages in the process of modernization: Hanoi (early), Shanghai (intermediate), and Taipei (later stage). A survey was conducted of 17,016 males and females aged 15–24 in urban and rural…

Consumption Strikes Back? Measuring Long‐Run Risk
We characterize and measure a long-term risk-return trade-off for the valuation of cash flows exposed to fluctuations in macroeconomic growth. This trade-off features risk prices of cash flows that are realized far into the future but continue to be reflected in asset values. We apply this analysis to claims on aggregate cash flows and to cash flows from value and growth portfolios by imputing values to the long-run dynamic responses of cash flow…
Acceptance Of Two Types Of Uxorilocal Marriage In Contemporary Rural China
Using data from a survey of cultural transmission of son preference in Lueyang county, this article reports on a quantitative comparative study on acceptance of two types of uxorilocal marriage in contemporary rural China: contingent, driven by household demographic factors, and institutional, driven by practical economic factors. It is shown that the contingent type is more likely to occur than the institutional, and the latter is transmissible …
Forecasting cohort incomplete fertility
Drawing on insights from previous work on fertility forecasts, we develop a method for forecasting incomplete cohort fertility. Our approach involves two basic steps. First, we use a singular-value-decomposition (SVD) model to establish a relationship between the level and the age pattern of fertility for completed cohorts. This relationship is then applied to incomplete cohorts to obtain forecast fertility. We propose techniques to evaluate mode…

Visual realism and character identification in science comics
Comics have increasingly served as a tool for delivering scientific information to diverse audiences. However, little is known about how visual elements in comics influence their persuasive potential. Inspired by McCloud (1993)’s ‘masking effect’ theory featured in Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, this study examined how different degrees of realism in comic characters, combined with background details, affected readers’ character identif…
Exploring the Potential of Comics for Science Communication
This study examined the effectiveness of using comics to communicate scientific information on COVID-19 vaccine safety to Black Americans. Although the effects of comics on interest, recall, and information sharing intention were not significant compared to expository texts and infographics, comics featuring abstract, racially ambiguous characters facilitated greater learning among participants with lower knowledge of COVID-19 vaccines, as oppose…
Preparing K-12 Teachers for ELLs
English Language Learners (ELLs) are the fastest growing segment of school population, especially in urban schools. The teaching workforce has relatively unchanged to match this fast growth. Data found no measurable difference in the percentages of teachers’ ethnic backgrounds between 1999-2000 and 2007-2008. This mismatch creates the demand for preparing the K-12 teachers who can work effectively with ELLs. The study examines an innovative progr…
How do policymakers and think tank stakeholders prioritize the risks of the nuclear fuel cycle? A semantic network analysis
In recent years, the importance of stakeholder involvement and of integrating diverse perspectives into risk management has gained increasing recognition. However, it remains a challenging task to identify all potentially relevant stakeholders and to reliably describe their deeply held beliefs regarding the risks associated with complex industrial systems. For example, the development of advanced nuclear fuel cycles presents such a case. Based on…
Civil-Military Relations in Today's China
Changing Functions of the Party and Political Work System in the PTA and Civil-Military Relations in China
The predominant theories explaining civil-military relations in China are the interest group model and the factionalism model. Both assume politically significant conflict either between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership (and its commissars) and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) leadership, or within them. This study demonstrates that the factional tension triggered by the longstanding doctrinal debate between 'lines' about 'red' and …

A comparative study of determinants of uxorilocal marriage in two counties of China
A strictly maintained patrilineal family system makes virilocal marriage almost universal and uxorilocal marriage rare in the history of rural China. Uxorilocal marriage can be divided into two types that may be termed, respectively, contingent and institutional. The former preserves family lineages in families without a son and occurs when uxorilocal marriage is uncommon. The latter serves practical economic purposes in families with sons and oc…
