Cross-sectional accuracy does not imply the reliability of population change in gridded population datasets of China
Time-series gridded population datasets are foundational resources for diverse fields, from public health to sustainable development. Current datasets’ evaluations primarily focus on their cross-sectional accuracy, and their applications often carry an implicit assumption that datasets with higher cross-sectional accuracy are more effective in representing population dynamics. This study evaluated six time-series gridded population datasets (CnPo…
Lifestyle factors affecting the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia: A literature review
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), which significantly impairs patients’ social interactions and psychological well-being, is widespread worldwide. Treatment of AGA is a long-term process that is difficult to stick to. Therefore, in the long-term management of AGA, establishing effective lifestyle intervention protocols to delay disease progression has become a central focus for both clinicians and patients. However, to the best of our knowledge, only …

Unravelling the dynamics between smartphone use and psychological well-being: A two-wave panel study
A fervent debate exists among researchers and social critics about whether smartphone use strengthens or undermines community participation and social relationships. This study investigates the dynamics between smartphone use and psychological well-being among university students over a one-year period, employing a two-wave longitudinal analysis to examine this relationship across various mobile applications. Our findings reveal that the directio…

Effect of public-interest live-streaming anchor's official identity on green product purchase intention
Alongside the rapid development of live-streaming commerce in China, some government officials have leveraged their professional identities to sell local green products through public-interest live streaming by acting as anchors. In this study we explored the relationship between an anchor's official identity and consumers' green product purchase intention, as well as the mediating roles of perceived product quality and perceived authenticity. We…
Factors associated with anxiety and depression in patients with erectile dysfunction: A cross-sectional study
The prevalence of depression and anxiety in ED patients is high, and the severity of ED, age, education level, smoking, onset time, regular sleep, and exercise were associated with anxiety or depression. Reversible risk factors should be avoided and individualized psychological support services are necessary for ED patients
Unmasking the bright–dark duality of social media use on psychological well-being: A large-scale longitudinal study
Purpose As the number of social media users continues to rise globally, a heated debate emerges on whether social media use improves or harms mental health, as well as the bidirectional relation between social media use and mental health. Motivated by this, the authors’ study adopts the stressor–strain–outcome model and social compensation hypothesis to disentangle the effect mechanism between social media use and psychological well-being. The pu…
Analyzing the topology characteristic and effectiveness of the China city network
The topology characteristic and effectiveness of city network play critical roles in guiding transportation infrastructure planning and construction. From empirical evidence of three types of transportation infrastructure in China’s urbanization process—railway, civil aviation, and highway—we propose a new city network construction method based on the transportation infrastructure links between cities. Degree centrality, closeness centrality, and…

Damages of surface ozone: Evidence from agricultural sector in China
This study measures the damages that surface ozone pollution causes within the Chinese agricultural sector under 2014 conditions. It also analyzes the agricultural benefits of ozone reductions. The analysis is done using a partial equilibrium model of China’s agricultural sector. Results indicate that there are substantial, spatially differentiated damages that are greatest in ozone-sensitive crop growing areas with higher ozone concentrations. T…
The Great Famine in China, 1958-1962: A Documentary History
Beginning soon after the implementation of the policies of the Great Leap Forward of 1958-1961, when the drive to collectivize and industrialize undermined the livelihoods of the vast majority of peasant workers, China’s Great Famine was the worst famine in human history. In addition to claiming more than 45 million lives, it also led to the destruction of agriculture, industry, trade, and every aspect of human life, leaving large parts of the Ch…
Forgotten Voices of Mao's Great Famine, 1958-1962: An Oral History
In 1958, China’s revered leader Mao Zedong instituted a program designed to transform his giant nation into a Communist utopia. Called the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s grand scheme—like so many other utopian dreams of the 20th century—proved a monumental disaster, resulting in the mass destruction of China’s agriculture, industry, and trade while leaving large portions of the countryside forever scarred by man-made environmental disasters. The resul…

Precipitation Effects on Motor Vehicle Crashes Vary by Space, Time, and Environmental Conditions
Numerous studies have shown that precipitation has a significant impact on motor vehicle crashes. Hourly weather radar data with a 4-km resolution and over 600 000 crashes from 2002 to 2012 in Iowa are used to assess the effects of precipitation on motor vehicle crashes. Using a matched pairs analysis, this study finds that the relative accident risk (RAR) across the state during the study period was 1.69 [1.66, 1.71]. However, RAR increased to a…
Re-examining the History of the Great Famine in China through Documentary Evidence
This paper examines documentary evidence that has emerged from the Chinese state archives showing that from the outset, the Great Leap Forward failed as a method for improving agricultural productivity; that its failure was quickly evident and purposefully ignored; and that the level of human suffering and death was greater than has been suggested. In addition, in contrast to the image of a strictly disciplined communist society in which errors a…
Cosmopolitan from above’: A Jewish experience in Hong Kong
The case of Hong Kong provides a substantial re-examination of what it means to be a cosmopolitan from above, both historically in terms of real colonial presence and power – that of the British Empire at the height of its pink-flushed world domination – and as a ‘model minority’ under such circumstances as well as in the postcolonial world of modern Hong Kong. The history of the Jews in Hong Kong illustrates the pitfalls in assuming the view of …

Chinese Perceptions of the Jews' and Judaism: A History of the Youtai
While prejudice against Jews is a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West. This work draws on a wide variety of source materials from the past two centuries to examine the images of the Jews' as constructed in China. However, the interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of thes…

‘Kitchen Knowledge’, Desperate Foods, and Ritual Healing in Everyday Survival Strategies during the Great Famine in China, 1958–62
Famine is a social and economic crisis that is commonly accompanied by widespread of malnutrition, starvation, epidemic disease, and increased mortality. This paper focuses on the period of the Great Leap Famine in China between 1958 and 1962. Based on newly-collected oral interviews and archival evidence, it gives voices to ordinary villagers from different parts of China—from various counties in one of China’s biggest and most populated Sichuan…
Mikvah in Beijing
This essay attempts to explore the development of the Jewish presence in the Chinese capital since 2001. The key question to ask is what it means to be Jewish in international cities such as Beijing, where the current population is made up of people from all over the world. By focusing on the mikvah, the essay argues that in Beijing this ‘integral part of Jewish life’ has been transformed into a global experience and product. It further investiga…

The discourse of disability in modern China
With the collapse of the imperial system, Confucianism rapidly lost its credibility and authority. 'Nature' was now conceptualized as a set of relatively impersonal forces that could be objectively investigated. No longer were physical bodies thought of as being linked to the cosmological foundations of the universe: bodies were produced according to biological laws inherent in 'nature'. Identity and ancestry were buried deep inside the body. Wit…

The Jews’ in Chinese Cultural Debate, 1915–30
Representations of 'the Jews' in modern China are complex: while they seem to correspond to images of 'the Jews' in Europe, it would be superficial to reduce them purely to 'Western influence'. In China, representations of 'the Jews' have been endowed with indigenous meaning by modernising élites. By constructing 'the Jews' as a homogenous group, or 'the Jew' as a constitutive outsider, who embodies all the negative as well as positive qualities …

Narcotic Culture: A History of Drugs in China
The book analyses the influence of medicinal and recreational drug consumption in China from the late Ming period (c.1600) to the fall of the Republic on the Chinese mainland (1949). It questions the assumption that opium (and later semi-synthetic opiates) were responsible for the military and political weakness of China during much of the the 19th and 20th centuries, pointing to patterns of social consumption which provided for stability and eco…
