Navigating Emotions: The Role of Self-Talk in Preventing Adolescent Self-Injury
As a kind of mental disorder, self-injury behavior is prevalent among adolescents all over the world. This behavior results from the interplay of environmental factors (e.g., family dynamics, peer relationships, adverse life events), neurobiological factors linked to genetics, and epigenetic influences. Self-talk is a bridge connecting individual self-consciousness and external behavior, which can plan, monitor, and guide their external behavior.…
Caught in the middle: Depressive symptoms and life satisfaction of the sandwich generation in four-generation lineages in China
This study examines the implications of intergenerational caregiving for depressive symptoms and life satisfaction among China’s “sandwich generation” individuals embedded in four-generation lineages. Using data from 9081 respondents aged 45–80 from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we measure depressive symptoms with the CES-D-10 scale and life satisfaction through a direct self-report question. Our analyses emplo…

What makes e-participation in urban governance effective? Evidence from the government online message board in China, 2011–2021
Globally, the importance of public participation in urban development is increasingly being emphasised, with technological advancement driving a transition from offline engagement to electronic participation (e-participation). However, achieving effective e-participation, particularly within specific governance contexts, remains a critical policy and practical challenge. Existing research into the factors influencing e-participation effectiveness…
Global disparity in synergy of solar power and vegetation growth
The impacts of large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power on local vegetation are pivotal in the context of widespread solar deployment for net-zero goals, amid escalating land fragility and use competition. Amid debates over positive or negative effects, a global pattern analysis post the past decade’s PV surge remains absent. This study quantified vegetation changes across 626 largest global PV stations and probed influencing factors using remot…
Investigating the influence mechanism of goal‐framing theory on urban residents' green travel behavior
This study aims to explore the influence mechanism of goal‐framing theory on green travel behavior (GTB), thereby supporting the promotion of sustainable transportation modes to mitigate environmental degradation and resource waste, in alignment with the “dual carbon” targets. Based on the GTB data of 334 Chinese residents, we use goal‐framing theory to analyze residents' subjective environmental concerns and the external media's driving mechanis…

Association between food insecurity and kidney stones in the United States: Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2014
Purpose Although food insecurity is a major public health concern associated with various diseases, the relationship between food insecurity and kidney stones remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between food insecurity and kidney stones in the US population. Materials and methods Four continuous cycles of data from the year 2007 to 2014 were obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the curren…
Improved air quality in China can enhance solar-power performance and accelerate carbon-neutrality targets
Assessing Prevalence and Unique Risk Factors of Suicidal Ideation among First-Year University Students in China Using a Unique Multidimensional University Personality Inventor
Social avoidance and emotional vulnerabilities are unique factors associated with greater suicidal ideation among first-year university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. UPI serves as a validated tool to screen suicide risks among Chinese university students. Encouraging social engagement and improving emotional regulation skills are promising targets to reduce suicidal ideation among first-year university students
Psychometric property and measurement invariance of internet addiction test: The effect of socio-demographic and internet use variables
Item improvement was efficient that the problematic items found in literature was performed good in this study. The overall psychometric property of this Chinese version IAT was good with limited DIF effect in one item. Item improvement on IAT13 was encouraged in the future study to avoid gender bias and benefit for epidemiology on PIU
Finding the difference: Measuring spatial perception of planning phases of high-rise urban developments in Virtual Reality
Planning is a process in which the contents of planning is gradually refined. However, research in planning communication and perception is often conducted using contrasting scenarios, e.g. by comparing a with/without case. It is not surprising that drastic differences in planning content and representation result in significant differences in perception. Instead, and as a reflection of sequential and gradually evolving projects in planning pract…
Sustained methane emissions from China after 2012 despite declining coal production and rice-cultivated area
China’s anthropogenic methane emissions are the largest of any country in the world. A recent study using atmospheric observations suggested that recent policies aimed at reducing emissions of methane due to coal production in China after 2010 had been largely ineffective. Here, based on a longer observational record and an updated modelling approach, we find a statistically significant positive linear trend (0.36 ± 0.04 ( ± 1 σ ) Tg CH 4 yr −2 )…

Optimized Volume Determinations and Uncertainties for Accurate and Precise Manometry
Precise manometric pressure, volume, and temperature (P-V-T) measurements of carbon in samples, standards, and blanks are critical for radiocarbon studies. While P and T uncertainties depend on instrument choice and environmental stability, V uncertainties depend on their method of measurement and are often overlooked. We used numerical simulations and error propagation to find optimum procedures for measuring “cold-finger” volumes equipped with …
Land Taking and Electoral Rule Setting: Evidence from Chinese Rural Democracy
This article explains the regional variation in the electoral rules governing village election in China. We argue that China’s fast urbanization and land development have undermined the quality of rural democracy because local government officials faced pressure to ensure “right” cadres elected, and therefore had motivation to manipulate election rules. A panel dataset covering two rounds of elections in 2005 and 2008 is utilized to test the hypo…
How does political trust affect social trust? An analysis of survey data from rural China using an instrumental variables approach
Using an instrumental variable approach, we analyze survey data to untangle the relationship between social and political trust in contemporary China. We find strong evidence that political trust enhances social trust in China and the results are robust to a range of measures, including the generalized social trust question, as well as three contextualized trust questions. We also shed light on the impact of economic modernization on social trust…
Prevalence of hypertension in overweight and obese children from a large school-based population in Shanghai, China
In this study on a large school-based population in Shanghai, China, BMI and WC are positively correlated with SBP and DBP. Being overweight or obese greatly increased the risk of hypertension in Chinese children and adolescents, in which WC is considered as a more sensitive indicator than BMI
Local Officials' Incentives and China's Economic Growth: Tournament Thesis Reexamined and Alternative Explanatory Framework
To explain China's dramatic economic growth, researchers have proposed a “tournament thesis.” According to this thesis, the central government's ability to set growth targets has played a crucial role in growth since political promotion is largely based on local economic growth. We use provincial officials' career mobility data to test this thesis. For both time periods (1979–1995 and 1979–2002), economic performance, measured in annual, average …
Grain Procurement, Tax Instrument and Peasant Burdens during China's Rural Transition
In this paper, we argue that China's grain procurement system as a major instrument in rural taxation survived the communes and lost its importance only gradually in recent years. However, as agricultural liberalization progressed, the traditional tax instruments of ‘tax deduction prior to grain procurement payment’ and implicit taxation through ‘price scissors’ gradually eroded. Under such a circumstance, local governments in agriculture-based r…
Son Preference in Rural China: Patrilineal Families and Socioeconomic Change
This article draws on a survey conducted in six provinces in summer 2008 to investigate the determinants of son preference in rural china. The analysis confirms the conventional wisdom that son preference is embedded within patrilineal family structures and practices. We extend our analysis by exploring specific aspects of variation within patrilineal family culture. We find that the patrilineal group (clan) composition of villages and family par…
