Women as Ethical Subjects
Between 1946 and 1949, China underwent a turbulent transition marked by ethical rupture and efforts at moral reconstruction. Family melodramas, a dominant mode of Chinese family film in the late 1940s, became key cultural forms that mediated emotions, repaired ethical bonds, and articulated national allegory. This article examines how these films construct female ethical subjectivity within the institutional and affective structures of jia benwei…

A qualitative study on the self-management experience and needs of postmenopausal patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease from the perspective of active health
Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a prevalent chronic liver disease globally. Postmenopausal women may face a higher risk of developing this disease due to the metabolic changes related to menopausal transition. Although lifestyle adjustments remain the core of the care process, sustained self-management often remains highly challenging. This study, based on the theory of active health, aims to explore the sel…
Opportunities to Improve the Implementation of Relational Health Interventions for Children and Families
Despite the availability of universally delivered evidence-based relational health interventions, their wide-scale translation into practice is slow and unsustained. Measuring implementation outcomes within intervention trials is critical to understand their effectiveness and inform future scaling. This study aimed to determine the extent to which universally delivered relational health interventions measured and reported on implementation outcom…
Mapping What Works to Strengthen the Relational Ecology of Early Child Development
The development of secure bonds between children and adult carers, particularly parents, is determined by a complex ecosystem of relationships that includes parents, care providers in other settings, and the values and institutions that care for those who care for children. Here we conduct a scoping review to map scientific progress in the development of evidence based interventions across all levels of relational ecology of early child developme…
Decarbonization in Financial Turbulent Times
This study examines how participation in global value chains (GVCs) influences carbon emissions amid financial turbulence, with attention to cross‐country heterogeneity and distributional dynamics. Although existing research has explored trade–environment linkages, limited attention has been given to how GVC integration interacts with financial crises and institutional quality across different emission regimes. Addressing this gap, the study empl…

A systematic review and meta-analysis of educational games for the intervention of school bullying
Bullying harms learning and wellbeing, and schools increasingly use digital games as part of their response. This PRISMA-guided systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized 34 studies on educational games for school bullying and cyberbullying intervention. Ten randomized trials passed risk-of-bias screening; nine contributed continuous outcomes to the primary meta-analysis. The pooled effect was small and statistically significant (Hedges' g =…
Understanding artificial intelligence usage and knowledge sharing
Although research has increasingly explored the consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) for workplace knowledge exchange, it remains unclear how AI reconfigures the relational foundations that sustain knowledge sharing among coworkers. Drawing on social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory, we propose that AI usage restructures coworker relationships along two distinct pathways: weakening instrumental ties while strengthening…
Multi‐Criteria Comparability for Ethical and Reliable Measurement of Corporate Environmental Decoupling
Comparable peers provide a critical benchmark for distinguishing genuinely responsible firms from those engaging in symbolic compliance, thereby reinforcing ethical accountability and the legitimacy of sustainability governance. Existing measures of environmental decoupling—the gap between firms' environmental claims and actions—typically standardize disclosure and outcome indicators along a single dimension, such as industry or firm size, while …
Assessing forest degradation and restoration pathways on the qinghai-tibet plateau
The forest ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) are vital for ecological security yet face severe degradation. This study provides an integrated spatial assessment to guide sustainable management. We combined landscape pattern indices (including the Large Patch Index, LPI, and Aggregation Index, AI), the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model, and the Geodetector model to evaluate forest degradation status, restoration potential, and underlying …

“Gentry Alchemy”
How did a school of Daoist internal alchemy flourish in the Ming and Qing dynasties without formal ordination, institutional affiliation, or a lineage of disciples? This paper challenges the conventional paradigms of Daoist transmission by examining the case of Lu Xixing 陸西星 (1520–1606), the founder of the Eastern Lineage (Dongpai 東派). Drawing on newly unearthed sources, including local gazetteers, Lu’s poetry collection Kouyin manlu 鷇音漫錄, a long…
How Does Population Aging Affect Farmland Abandonment? An Inverted U‐Shaped Relationship From the Large‐Scale Survey Data in China
Population aging has always been considered a driving force for farmland abandonment, which aggravates global food insecurity. However, using big survey data from 11,750 rural households across China, an inverted U‐shaped change was found regarding the relationship between them with the extreme point of aging rate around 27%. Before the aging rate reaches its extreme point, it positively promoted the abandonment of arable land. After this point, …
Entangled Empowerment
This article examines how postfeminist empowerment is mediated and reconfigured within China’s platformed media ecology, focussing on narrative design and affective mechanisms. Drawing on two female-centred Chinese costume idol dramas, A Dream of Splendor (2022) and The Legend of Shen Li (2024), the study combines close textual reading with contextualised paratextual analysis of highly visible discussions on platforms such as Douban, Weibo, and B…
Anti-corruption campaigns and corporate environmental misconduct
Political corruption and ecological pollution constitute two major impediments to sustainable development, compelling governments globally to adopt targeted policy to mitigate these challenges. Based on institutional theory, this paper explores the policy effect of anti-corruption on corporate environmental misconduct (CEM) and investigates whether political ties serve as a moderating linkage between corruption and environmental degradation. We f…
Visualizing the Chinese cyberspace
Despite growing interest in understanding urban networks in cyberspace, data availability remains a significant challenge, as few studies have systematically visualized the entirety of cyberspace networks. Using the Baidu Index, which tracks the exposure of cities in online media and their search activity by users in other cities, this analysis visualizes and examines the urban networks of 296 Chinese cities from 2012 to 2019. Our findings highli…
Theoretical Distinctions Between Emotion and Cognition Content in Supportive Messages
What constitutes effective supportive message content is a topic of intense interdisciplinary scholarly interest and has palpable real-world implications for individuals’ well-being. Emotion and cognition content are two commonly theorized supportive message forms. Although both are theorized to operate through conversationally induced reappraisal, their relative effects, underlying mediating mechanisms, and boundary conditions for effectiveness …
Credit policy and the 'debt shift' in advanced economies
The decline in the share of bank credit to non-financial firms since the 1990s, relative to credit for real estate and financial asset markets, has raised concerns over economic growth and financial stability and sparked renewed interest in credit policies, instruments and institutions. We examine their theoretical case and post-war use, and trace their demise during the wider market-oriented policy reconfiguration from the 1980s. Notably, this i…
Conflicts of land expropriation in China during 2006–2016
In recent years conflicts of land expropriation in China have received a lot of concern. Recent systematic reviews highlight causes, types and resolution of land conflicts, yet very few of these studies have considered the spatial-temporal characteristics of the issue. Utilizing spatial statistical analysis and statistical software, this paper aims to build a contextual overview on Chinese land expropriation conflicts and explore spatial and temp…

Equilibrium Cross Section of Returns
We construct a dynamic general equilibrium production economy to explicitly link expected stock returns to firm characteristics such as firm size and the book-to-market ratio. Stock returns in the model are completely characterized by a conditional capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Size and book-to-market are correlated with the true conditional market beta and therefore appear to predict stock returns. The cross-sectional relations between fir…

A ‘race to the bottom’ or variegated work regimes? Industrial relocation, the changing migrant labor regime, and worker agency in China’s electronics industry
This article examines how capital/industrial relocation interacts with work regime dynamics through a case study of geographical relocation of four electronics multinationals from China’s coastal regions to its interior. Based on fieldwork conducted in Chongqing and Chengdu between 2012 and 2017, I find that a migrant labor regime in coastal regions has shifted to a local-labor based development strategy in western regions when capital moves inla…
Contextualizing precarious work
This article examines the rise of labor dispatch – a fast-growing form of precarious work – and its regulation politics in post-socialist China. Drawing on qualitative research, the author argues that rather than generalized deregulation and state retrenchment, the development of labor dispatch in China is shaped by the intertwined dynamics of precarization and dualization, with the state playing a predominant role in uneven regulation and instit…

The sequences were searched against a standard protein sequence database. The proteins extracted were identified as…
Exploring Green Innovation Practices
Green innovation has been attracting increasing attention due to its contributions to the conservation of resources and environmental protection. However, in the process of exploring green innovation, the allocation of resources and the direction of innovation are often inaccurate, which leads to a low efficiency of green innovation. If we can learn the green innovation practices from successful companies, we can certainly provide reference strat…
The Impact of Social Capital on farmers' Willingness to Reuse Agricultural Waste for Sustainable Development
Reuse of agricultural waste plays a pivotal role in sustainable development and carbon emission abatement (CEA). We seek to confirm that social capital, which is a sociological concept, can influence farmers' willingness to reuse agricultural waste for CEA. Controlling for human capital and physical capital factors, we prove that social capital significantly affects farmers' willingness to reuse agricultural waste for CEA. In terms of driving far…

Response of mean annual evapotranspiration to vegetation changes at catchment scale
It is now well established that forested catchments have higher evapotranspiration than grassed catchments. Thus land use management and rehabilitation strategies will have an impact on catchment water balance and hence water yield and groundwater recharge. The key controls on evapotranspiration are rainfall interception, net radiation, advection, turbulent transport, leaf area, and plant‐available water capacity. The relative importance of these…

Investment‐Based Expected Stock Returns
We derive and test q-theory implications for cross-sectional stock returns. Under constant returns to scale, stock returns equal levered investment returns, which are tied directly to firm characteristics. When we use generalized method of moments to match average levered investment returns to average observed stock returns, the model captures the average stock returns of portfolios sorted by earnings surprises, book-to-market equity, and capital…

Finance and growth in China, 1995–2013
We study the relation of financial development with income growth in China over 1995-2013. In panel and GMM analyses of province-level data, we find that accounting for the short-term spending effect of credit flows on growth, the effect of credit stocks to GDP (the traditional measure of financial development) is negative or insignificant. To identify the channels, we study the effects on GDP aggregates. Our findings suggest that credit expansio…
Strengthening protected areas for biodiversity and ecosystem services in China
Significance Following severe environmental degradation from rapid economic development, China is now advancing policies to secure biodiversity and ecosystem services. We report the first nationwide assessment, showing that protected areas (PAs) are not well delineated to protect either biodiversity or key ecosystem services. This serious deficiency exists in many countries. We propose creating a national park system in China to help guide develo…
A hybrid mathematical model for urban land-use planning in association with environmental–ecological consideration under uncertainty
Various uncertainties exist in most urban land-use allocation systems; however, they have not been considered in most traditional urban land-use allocation methods. In this study, an interval-probabilistic urban land-use allocation model is developed based on a hybrid interval-probabilistic programming method. The developed interval-probabilistic urban land-use allocation model can deal with uncertainties expressed as intervals and probability di…
The Changing Chinese Community Mediascape Since the Early 1990s
Jia Gao and Lu Zhang examine changes in the Chinese community mediascape that have occurred as a result of the resumption of direct and significant immigration from the Chinese mainland to Australia in the early 1990s. The settlement of tens of thousands of Chinese students and the subsequent chain of immigration flows from China have resulted in a series of changes to the ethnic Chinese community in Australia. One of the most significant changes…
