Critical Friendship in the Modern World
Friendship is a critically important aspect of our lives, but is it always an unassailably 'good thing'? This book begins with the innovative premise that friendship is inherently complex and characterized by opposing qualities: it is both pleasurable and fraught, private and public, and inclusive and exclusionary. Rather than simply celebrating friendship as universally beneficial or worrying about its decline amid rising social disconnection, L…

Promotion of rural development via urban-rural integration in China
The uncertainty of rural economic activity has led to a tendency for moderate policies promoting rural development. However, the top-down policy formulation and implementation in transitional economies are generally forceful and may result in compensatory policy instruments and systemic risks. Drawing on a case study of the urban-rural integration project of Ranyi in Chengdu, this paper traces the policy instruments applied to promote rural devel…
Enhancing Hybrid Bike-Sharing Systems Through Long-Term Inventory Management
Hybrid bike-sharing systems (operating both bikes and ebikes) are emerging worldwide for flexibility and sustainability. Excessive rebalancing, while addressing supply-demand imbalances, causes financial burdens and resource waste. Hence, long-term daily operations (e.g., rebalancing at midnights for upcoming days) have practical economic significance, but they remain underexplored due to difficulties in tracking high within-day and between-day d…
The relationship between heart rate variability and baseline state anxiety during stress and recovery
Baseline state anxiety, which reflects an individual’s initial anxiety level before stressors, offers an important perspective for understanding how pre-existing anxiety influences responses to subsequent stressors. This study investigated physiological changes in 59 participants grouped by low (n = 32, LbSA group) and high (n = 27, HbSA group) baseline state anxiety levels, measured using the Short State Anxiety Inventory. Participants underwent…
Relationship between mindfulness and self-control in deaf individuals
The results reveal that, despite shared psychological mechanisms in mindfulness and self-control between deaf and hearing individuals, the beneficial impact of inner peace on self-control is significantly lower in deaf individuals. This highlights the complex relationship shaped by diverse life experiences, underscoring the need for tailored interventions like mindfulness training to enhance positive emotions and self-control in deaf individuals

Single-Item Measures for Subjective Academic Performance, Self-Esteem, and Socioeconomic Status
Single-item (SI) measures, which are easy and simple in administration, were found to be useful in areas such as health and business, but they were not popular in measuring important constructs in education. This article investigates the descriptive statistics, psychometric properties, and construct validities of SI measures in educational settings of subjective academic performance, self-esteem (“single-item self-esteem”), and subjective socioec…
A Shared Everyday Ethic of Public Sociability
Everyday life in urban public space means living amongst people unknown to one another. As part of the broader convivial turn within the study of everyday urban life (Wise & Noble, 2016), this article examines outdoor public ice rinks as spaces for encounter between strangers. With data drawn from 100 hours of naturalistic and participant observation at free and accessible outdoor public non-hockey ice rinks in two Canadian cities, we show how ‘r…
Reforming China’s fertilizer policies
Reactive nitrogen (N) is a requisite nutrient for agricultural production, but results in greenhouse gas and air and water pollution. The environmental and economic impacts of N fertilizer use in China are particularly relevant, as China consumes the largest amount of N fertilizer in the world to meet its soaring food demand. Here, we use an agro-economic land system model (MAgPIE) in combination with a difference-in-differences econometric model…

Kinetics and Mechanisms of Phosphorus Adsorption in Soils from Diverse Ecological Zones in the Source Area of a Drinking-Water Reservoir
On-site soils are increasingly used in the treatment and restoration of ecosystems to harmonize with the local landscape and minimize costs. Eight natural soils from diverse ecological zones in the source area of a drinking-water reservoir in central China are used as adsorbents for the uptake of phosphorus from aqueous solutions. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometric and BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) tests and the Scanning Electron Microscop…
VMT reduction and potential environmental effects with a tradable credits scheme
We investigate the influence of a tradable credits scheme (TCS) on travel demand and vehicle emissions, based on the vehicle miles travelled (VMT). With a microeconomic quantitative analysis scheme, a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function is used as an approach to model the annual mileage for different travel purposes. An illustration is given for the effects of a TCS on emission mitigation based on historical data for Great Britain.…

Designing enhanced labeling information to increase consumer willingness to pay for genetically modified foods
Purpose The regulations for qualitative genetically modified (GM) food labeling do not effectively eliminate the information asymmetries pertaining to the consumption of GM products. China's GM food labeling law requires the presentation of certain categories of GM products on GMO labels on packages. Such information is invaluable for understanding whether the disclosure of more information on GM foods can help alleviate information asymmetry whi…
Carbon dioxide mitigation co-effect analysis of clean air policies
In 2018, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) area launched the Blue Sky Protection Campaign (BSPC) to control atmospheric pollution. CO2 emissions could be significantly reduced due to the co-effects of implementing the BSPC. This paper employs the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies Asia model to quantitatively evaluate the CO2 reductions when implementing the BSPC in the BTH region. The results indicate that CO2 emissions ca…

Gaseous reactive nitrogen losses of agricultural systems in China influenced by crop trade
China plays an important role in the international trade of agricultural commodities. Considering the dynamic reactive nitrogen (Nr) losses of agricultural systems in China, a hypothesis was proposed that crop conversion in China would be correlated with the extent of crop trade, influencing Nr losses in agricultural systems. The objective of this study was to verify the hypothesis based on a hybrid approach, which incorporated life cycle analysi…
