When Moral Appeals Backfire and Discourage the Adoption of Plant-Based Meat Alternatives
Public campaigns use moral appeals to promote a plant-based meat diet, but such appeals can also backfire. We found that the animal welfare appeal prompted higher purchase intention only among individuals with lower meat attachment and was damaging among consumers with higher meat attachment, with meat attachment moderating the pathway from meat-related cognitive dissonance to the adoption of plant-based meat. The best strategy to appeal to consu…

From 'killer hornets' to economic assets
BACKGROUND: Hornets, which constitute part of the subfamily Vespinae, are widely distributed social wasps, and some species have been documented as invasive in many parts of the world. However, in their native habitats, they may also play important roles in local diets, medicine, and cultural traditions. In Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan, China, hornets remain a key biological and cultural resource, yet systematic ethnobiological documentation has bee…

All Things Work Together for Good
Bilateral investment treaties’ (BITs) intended effects can hardly be achieved independent of other policy instruments. We argue that foreign aid offers an external reinforcement for BITs through two mechanisms: compensation and enforcement. First, foreign aid compensates FDI host states for policy autonomy losses incurred by BITs. In addition, FDI home states deploy aid to enforce compliance with BITs. It is thus expected that BITs increase forei…
Revisiting Embedded Liberalism
Extant scholarship on embedded liberalism (EL) emphasizes whether governments keep their promises to protect the risk-bearers of economic liberalization but overlooks its liberalization effect. In particular, scholars rarely explore how EL solves the time-inconsistency problem plaguing economic liberalization, i.e., governments may ex post renege on their policy promises made prior to the liberalization. To fill this void, in this study, I look i…
When Do States Believe in Treaties? Legalization, Commitment, and Institutional Externality
Objective This study aims to elucidate the constraining power of international institutions by examining treaty externalities shaped by the interaction between two key factors: legalization and commitment. Methods To illustrate this theoretical possibility, I estimate a two‐way fixed effects model to pinpoint how varying levels of legalization and commitment impact aid flows within OECD‐non‐OECD bilateral investment treaties (BITs) from 1971 to 2…
Do Not Forget About Politics! Explaining the Selective Breach of Bilateral Investment Treaties
Trends of drug shortages in China from 2018 to 2020
Drug shortages are a major public health threat worldwide [1–3], frequently leading to suboptimal treatment, increased medical costs, and increased risks of death for patients, particularly in developing countries with limited medical sources [4–7]. It was estimated that 38% of medical errors and an additional USD 359 million per year were directly related to drug [...]
Differences in resting-state brain networks and gray matter between Apoe ε2 and Apoe ε4 carriers in non-dementia elderly
These findings suggest that there are significant differences in brain function and structure between APOE ε2 carriers and APOE ε4 carriers, and these significant differences are closely related to their cognitive performance
Unemployment, central bank independence, and diversionary conflict
According to the diversionary use of force literature, unemployment as an indicator of poor economy should increase the likelihood of diversionary conflict. I argue, however, leaders do not engage in such conflict unconditionally simply when unemployment is rising. Whether worsening unemployment leads to diversionary conflict depends on the availability of policies that can alleviate the condition. Only when such policy availability is low, will …
Effects of Lisdexamfetamine, a Prodrug of D-Amphetamine, on Locomotion, Spatial Cognitive Processing and Neurochemical Profiles in Rats
D-amphetamine has been used to enhance cognitive performance over the last few decades. Due to the rapid absorption after administration, d-amphetamine shows narrow effective window and severe abuse potential. Lisdexamfetamine, a prodrug of d-amphetamine, reduces the magnitude of plasma d-amphetamine concentration and prolongs the action duration when compared with immediate-release d-amphetamine at equimolar doses. However, the differences of th…
The Moderating Role of Sociability and Social Connection for the Relationship between Soccer Participation and Teamwork Ability among Chinese College Students
In order to provide empirical evidence for soccer's promotion of teamwork ability and to examine whether sociability and social connection have an effect on this promotion, we explored the relationship between soccer participation (volume, duration), teamwork ability and sociability and social connection (SSC). Using the method of stratified sampling, a questionnaire survey was carried out in four universities in Shanghai. All the respondents are…
Effects of Biofilms on Trace Metal Adsorption on Plastics in Freshwater Systems
The formation of plastisphere on plastics and their potential impact on freshwater ecosystems have drawn increasing attention. However, there is still limited information about the effects of plastisphere on the heavy metal adsorption capacity and the related mechanism of plastic debris in different freshwaters. Herein, the trace metal adsorption capacity, kinetics and adsorption mechanisms of virgin and biofilm-covered plastic debris were invest…

Bioinformatics methods were used to identify genes involved in the development and prognosis of LUAD, which will provide a basis for further research on the treatment and prognosis of LUAD
The Mediating Effect of Coping Style on Physical Activity and Negative Affect Caused by Public Health Emergencies
In this study, we explored the relationship between physical activity (PA), coping style (CS) and negative affect caused by public health emergencies (PHENA), to examine if CS can play a mediating role between PA and PHENA, and analyzed the different effects of positive coping (PC) and negative coping (NC). Using the method of random sampling, 700 students from four universities in Beijing and Shanghai were recruited to complete questionnaires ab…
An Estimation Model of Urban Land Accessibility
Given that there are no practical quantitative indicators of traffic conditions for facility location selection in the process of urbanization, this article proposes a comprehensive accessibility index of location and its measurement method. Urban land is rasterized using GIS to obtain the grids, and the road network data are used to calculate the external accessibility and internal accessibility of the grids. The external accessibility and the i…
Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Environmental Air Quality and Its Relationship with Seasonal Climatic Conditions in Eastern China during 2015–2018
Exploring the relationship between environmental air quality (EAQ) and climatic conditions on a large scale can help better understand the main distribution characteristics and the mechanisms of EAQ in China, which is significant for the implementation of policies of joint prevention and control of regional air pollution. In this study, we used the concentrations of six conventional air pollutants, i.e., carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO 2…
Ethnic minorities, ethnic conflict, and confidence in the UN across the world
This study investigates to what extent ethnic minorities differ from majorities in the degree of confidence in the UN and the scope conditions. Emphasizing the impact of the UN’s involvement, it argues that minorities are predisposed to hold a higher degree of confidence in the UN in countries where ethnic conflict has taken place and this difference is further complicated by the nature of the countries’ political regimes. Utilizing the World Val…
Climbing to the Top? How Globalized Competition for Capital Affects Judicial Independence
The mixed strategy of authoritarian labor rights repression
This study argues that institutionalized authoritarian states, those with established political parties and legislatures, tend to pursue a two-pronged strategy concerning labor rights: they severely restrict collective labor rights but moderately protect substantive labor rights at the same time. This argument leads to an expectation of a decoupling between collective labor rights protection and substantive labor rights protection in institutiona…
Choosing a Lesser Evil
Leftist governments tend to tax corporations heavily. However, they are unable to do so all the time. In this study, I posit that whether leftist governments can enact this preferred tax policy is conditional on the policy environment. When leftist governments are pressured by their economic competitors to reduce labor rights protection, instead of giving in, they choose to cut corporate tax rates, because the former is more politically harmful t…
Thinking outside the Box
States can seemingly defy the dictates of globalization. In practice, although being pressured by their competitors, states rarely engage in the race to the bottom by downgrading labor rights laws that are politically costly to pursue. I argue that states’ resistance is made possible by adopting more viable policy alternatives, i.e., concluding preferential trade agreements (PTAs). PTAs can generate considerable economic gains in a less political…
Democracy, Policy Interdependence, and Labor Rights
In this study, I examine how domestic regimes mitigate pressure from economically competing states to reduce the protection of labor rights. I argue that democratic states provide higher protection and are more resistant to this downward policy pressure for two main reasons. Directly, democracy empowers workers through freedom of association and enfranchisement. Indirectly, democracy offers better protection of property rights, which lessens the …

Bringing the State Back In
The extant literature views the decision to protect women’s economic rights as made by firms and neglects the role of the state. This study argues that states are pressured to improve the protection of these rights by enacting gender parity–promoting policies in response to similar policy choices by their economic competitors, resulting in a specific type of policy interdependence—the upward policy convergence. Additionally, this convergence shou…
Locating the External Source of Enforceability
Objective We theorize that alliances play a role as an external source of enforceability of bilateral investment treaties (BITs), and they do this by limiting the policy opportunism in foreign direct investment (FDI) host countries. We attempt to demonstrate that being party to common BITs and common alliances substantially raises the accumulation of FDI. Methods Using econometric techniques including panel‐corrected standard error, fixed effect,…
Economic Competition, Policy Interdependence, and Labour Rights
Extant scholarship treats national policies concerning labour rights as a function of economic factors and yet neglects influences of policies among economically competing states. Relying on the policy interdependence theory, this study argues that labour rights policy in a state is dependent on its economic competitors’ labour policy decisions. It specifically maintains that the intensifying competition for foreign direct investment and exports …

Repress or Respect? Precarious Leadership, Poor Economy and Labor Protection
Institutionalized autocracies, policy interdependence, and labor rights
This article examines how varieties of autocracies cope with the downward international policy interdependence in labor rights. It argues that institutionalized autocracies are more resistant to this downward pressure. Workers are empowered to elicit more policy concessions in institutionalized autocracies with parties and legislatures than in noninstitutionalized autocracies in which such institutions are absent. Parties and legislatures allow w…
