Global, regional, and national trends in blindness and vision loss, 1990–2021
Background: We aimed to provide global, regional, and national estimates of the burden of blindness and vision loss from 1990 to 2021, stratified by cause, age, and sociodemographic index (SDI). Methods: This population-based study used data from the 2021 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 (GBD) study, covering 1990 to 2021. It evaluates the burden of blindness and vision loss based on prevalence, age-standardised pr…
Unraveling Bureaucratic Procrastination
When confronted with demanding workloads and limited resources, grassroots bureaucrats may resort to procrastinating on tasks as a coping strategy. This study integrates the Stimulus‐Organism‐Response (SOR) model, the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), and the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory to unravel the multi‐layered drivers of bureaucratic procrastination. Using survey data from Chinese grassroots bureaucrats, we employed a dual‐logic appr…
Between Zero Covid and ‘Live with Covid
Quantifying the loss of healthy life expectancy due to population ageing
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Investing in health to improve healthy life expectancy (HLE) is fundamental to create a demographic dividend. However, how dramatic population ageing affects HLE remains unknown. This study aims to quantify and project the major diseases and injuries attributed to changes in population size and age structure that contributed to substantial losses in HLE. METHODS: Using data from 188 countries in the Global Burden of Disease Study…

Feasibility and Acceptability of an Incentive‐Based Intervention for Health Behaviour Change Among Rural Residents in China
BACKGROUND: Encouraging healthy behaviours among rural residents in China is crucial to promote health and well-being. Although financial incentives are known to be effective in promoting single healthy behaviours, their efficacy in simultaneously encouraging multiple healthy behaviours remains unclear. This study aimed to test the feasibility and acceptability of an incentive-based intervention to encourage multiple healthy behaviours. METHODS: …
The association between perceived neighborhood environment and health-related quality of life among residents living in mega-communities in Guiyang, Southwestern China
Among residents who lived in mega-communities, satisfaction with neighborhood safety, air pollution, sidewalk condition, and indoor light were positively related with HRQoL. This study could provide evidence for the design and planning of neighborhood environment to promote HRQoL
Why did ageing countries fare differently amid Covid-19? A configurational analysis
The imperative of institutional trust and individualistic culture on early Covid ‐19 policy responses
COVID‐19 sparked a global public health crisis, to which countries around the world responded differently. However, the critical reasons behind governments' slow or stringent responses to COVID‐19 remain understudied. Leveraging multiple global databases on COVID‐19 policies, trust, and national cultural orientation, this study spotlights the crucial roles of institutional trust and individualism in shaping the speed and stringency of early COVID…
Collaboration, accountability pressure, and local air pollution governance
Although a stringent top-down performance-based accountability system remains a key characteristic of China’s environmental governance, collaborative action across jurisdictions has quickly become another highly important feature of local environmental governance that offers capacity pooling and flexible governing structures to address cross-jurisdictional environmental issues such as air pollution. How does control-oriented performance accountab…
Moving beyond the ‘budget dance’
The annual budgeting process is a valuable opportunity for districts to systematically examine both resource use and programming. They can then use the findings to optimize resource use and improve program efficacy in ways that will lead to increased student achievement. Bo Yan and Thomas Aberli discuss three root causes for districts’ inability to accomplish the goals (reliance on problem-driven needs as the dominant factor of budgetary decision…
Inequities in human papillomavirus vaccination among children aged 9–14 years old under constrained vaccine supply in China
Sustained health education campaigns are needed to raise awareness of the HPV vaccine, improve health literacy, and decrease over-preference for the 9-valent HPV vaccine. A mother's HPV vaccination behavior was positively associated with increased intention and actual vaccination behavior for her daughter. This study advocates for complementary cervical cancer prevention programs targeting both mothers and daughters
Association between perceived neighborhood environment and depression among residents living in mega-communities in Guiyang, China
This study demonstrated that neighborhood, which was assessed by satisfaction with safety, hygiene, parking, greening, lighting, and building shape, was negatively associated with depression, and PA mediated the relationship
Critical constraints on high performance of provincial E-governments in China
The Unexpected Benefits of a Research-Practice Partnership’s Efforts to Strengthen Budgetary Decision-Making
Our research-practice partnership (RPP) focused on developing and testing metrics and tools to foster improved evidence-based budgetary decision-making. We expected our research findings to directly influence decisions about program expansion, contraction, or elimination. Instead, unexpected findings led to unexpected uses: changes in program implementation, administrative data collection processes, and the kinds of information provided to inform…

The moderating effect of parental skills for antibiotic identification on the link between parental skills for antibiotic use and inappropriate antibiotic use for children in China
Parents' high level of skills for antibiotic identification is revealed to promote inappropriate antibiotic use when parents master a low level of skills for antibiotic use. Conversely, based on excellent skills for antibiotic use, better skill for antibiotic identification is associated with a greater reduction in inappropriate behaviors. We recommend future health education to strengthen skills for antibiotic identification along with guidance …
Health Needs Assessment
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has been a public health hazard since 2020. Preventive measures taken in mainland China and Hong Kong to control the spread of COVID-19, including quarantine, could potentially affect people's physical and mental health. Methods: We used a snowball sampling method to investigate the experience of people in mainland China and Hong Kong using AI chatbots during the COVID-19 pandemic to obtain information on mental …
Restorative Practices
School disciplinary practices affect student academic and life outcomes. Many schools have recently shifted towards the prevention of behavioral disorders rather than the punishment of such disorders, but disciplinary actions are still disproportionately meted out to Black students. We took advantage of a natural experiment in a large school district to investigate the costs and effects of a school-wide intervention based on the principles of res…
The Feasibility of Maintaining Biological Phosphorus Removal in A-Stage via the Short Sludge Retention Time Approach
The increasing concerns on resource and energy recovery call for the modification of the current wastewater treatment strategy. This study synthetically evaluates the feasibility of the short sludge retention time approach to improve the energy recovery potential, but keeping steady biological phosphorus removal and system stability simultaneously. SBR S-SRT and SBR control that simulated the short sludge retention time and conventional biologica…

Tanshinol suppresses osteosarcoma by specifically inducing apoptosis of U2-OS cells through p53-mediated mechanism
Program Value-Added
We assessed whether an adaptation of value-added analysis (VAA) can provide evidence on the relative effectiveness of interventions implemented in a large school district. We analyzed two datasets, one documenting interventions received by underperforming students, and one documenting interventions received by students in schools benefiting from discretionary funds to invest in specific programs. Results from the former dataset identified several…
Why Do Countries Respond Differently to Covid-19? A Comparative Study of Sweden, China, France, and Japan
Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are important public health tools to fight against COVID-19. Governments around the world have instituted a variety of NPIs to modify individuals’ behavior, giving rise to four distinct pandemic response strategies: nudge, mandate, decree, and boost. To better understand the different policy choices involved in these strategies, four countries including Sweden, China, France, and Japan were compared to ident…
Culture, Institution, and Covid-19 First-Response Policy
Different from existing studies focusing on formal institutional factors, this study applies a configurational approach to exploring how cultural, institutional, and crisis-specific factors interplay to shape policymaking under extremely uncertain and risky circumstances. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of the COVID-19 first-response policies adopted by 31 countries reveals three pathways consistently leading to a more stringent firs…
What matters the most in curbing early Covid‐19 mortality? A cross‐country necessary condition analysis
COVID-19 represents a turbulent problem: a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous crisis, in which bounded-rational policymakers may not be able to do everything right, but must do critical things right in order to reduce the death toll. This study conceptualizes these critical things as necessary conditions (NCs) that must be absent to prevent high early mortality from occurring. We articulate a policy-institution-demography framework that …
Public Employees’ Perceived Promotion Channels in Local China
Do performance or personal ties (guanxi) matter more in the promotion of local public employees in China? In this paper, we examine public employees’ perceptions of the roles played by merit and guanxi in promotion. We adopt a configurational approach to classify public employees’ perceptions of the reasons for their promotion into four groups: merit‐based, guanxi‐orientated, ambidextrous (both), and fatalistic (neither). A recent survey of 886 p…

Public Administration in China and Australia
Comparing systems of government in such different countries as China and Australia is immensely difficult. Both countries have their own distinct traditions of governance and understandings about how to organise and operate government and the services they provide. Australia with a long democratic history has developed traditions of ‘responsible government’ within a federal context and with competition provided by two predominant adversarial poli…

Distribution Characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds and Contribution to Ozone Formation in a Coking Wastewater Treatment Plant
Ozone pollution, which can be caused by photochemical reactions, has become a serious problem. The ozone formation potential (OFP) is used to describe the photochemical reactivity. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are main precursors of ozone formation, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important sources of VOCs. Therefore, it is necessary to study the concentration level and OFP of VOCs from WWTPs. In this work, a coking WWTP with ana…
