The “Futile Labour” Paradox
Background Physical activity is widely promoted as a cornerstone of healthy ageing; however, this assumption largely derives from leisure-time exercise and may not apply to labour-dependent older populations. In rural settings, occupational physical activity (OPA) is often necessity-driven, prolonged, and embedded within structural constraints, yet its associations with metabolic and vascular outcomes in later life remain poorly understood. Metho…

Performance goals and real earnings management
We examine whether and how multiple performance metrics and goals specified in CEO bonus contracts are associated with firms’ real earnings management. We find that, for firms using earnings per share (EPS) as the main accounting metric, managers are more likely to cut research and development (R&D) expenditures but not selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses when realised EPS just meets the bonus target. When sales is the primary ac…
Relationship between caregiver burden and family resilience among Chinese caregivers of people with dementia
This study suggests that mutuality may be an important relational process associated with both caregiver burden and family resilience in dementia caregiving. Public health interventions may benefit from strengthening the caregiver-care recipient relationship to reduce psychological burden and enhance family resilience. Community-based programs and caregiver support initiatives that foster mutual understanding and positive interactions may be part…

Low-frequency rTMS modulates small-world network properties in an AVH-related brain network in schizophrenia
These findings support the network dysregulation model of AVH in schizophrenia and demonstrate that rTMS can modulate AVH-related connectivity, partially restoring network efficiency. The inclusion of HCs provides evidence that rTMS-induced changes align with normative network patterns, and the responder analysis suggests that connectivity modulation is linked to clinical improvement. This study offers new insights into the neurobiological mechan…

Through a field study of 20 community service centres in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the impact of non-verbal factors such as gestures, facial expressions, body postures and spatial distances on the quality of interpretation was systematically analysed by combining qualitative and quantitative…
Open or Cease the Fire
Sparked by research on how the rise of China impacts other nations, we study the effects of Chinese arms exports on recipients' civil conflict incidence. By using an instrumental variable strategy that exploits annual shifts in the RMB exchange rate and a share variation in the propensity of receiving Chinese arms, we find that increasing Chinese arms sales reduces civil conflict incidence. We also provide underlying evidence suggesting that the …

All Say "Peacocks Fly to the Southeast" But Where Do the Peacocks of the Southeast Go to Roost
Comrade Editor: Academics coming down South continue to stream into this year's talent market in Guangdong. Our hearts bleed for them as we see the helpless expression in their eyes when their abundant talent goes completely unused or finds humiliating employment in some tiny company! Through "College Students," we would like to tell our northern friends that the roads here are just as difficult, and by no means to put blind credence in such nons…

A National Study of Colorectal Cancer Survivorship Disparities
Introduction: Long–standing disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes and survival between Whites and Blacks have been observed. A person–centered approach using latent class analysis (LCA) is a novel methodology to assess and address CRC health disparities. LCA can overcome statistical challenges from subgroup analyses that would normally impede variable–centered analyses like regression. Aim was to identify risk profiles and differences i…
A Unified test for the Intercept of a Predictive Regression Model
Testing the predictability of the predictive regression model is of great interest in economics and finance. Recently, (Zhu et al. (2014) Predictive regressions for macroeconomic data, Vol. 8, pp. 577–594.) proposed a unified test to account for this issue. Their test has a desirable property that its limit distribution is standard regardless of the regressor being stationary, near unit root or unit root. However, this test depends on, a priori ,…
Unified Tests for a Dynamic Predictive Regression
Testing for predictability of asset returns has been a long history in economics and finance. Recently, based on a simple predictive regression, Kostakis, Magdalinos, and Stamatogiannis derived a Wald type test based on the context of the extended instrumental variable (IVX) methodology for testing predictability of stock returns, and Demetrescu showed that the local power of the standard IVX-based test could be improved for some range of alterna…
Efficacy and Safety of Adjunctive Aripiprazole, Metformin, and Paeoniae–Glycyrrhiza Decoction for Antipsychotic-Induced Hyperprolactinemia
Aripiprazole, metformin, and paeoniae-glycyrrhiza decoction (PGD) have been widely used as adjunctive treatments to reduce antipsychotic (AP)-induced hyperprolactinemia in patients with schizophrenia. However, the comparative efficacy and safety of these medications have not been previously studied. A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety between aripiprazole, metformin, and …
Modeling the effect of age on quantiles of the incubation period distribution of Covid-19
Observing that the conditional quantiles vary across age, we may take more precise measures for people of different ages. For example, we may consider carrying out an age-dependent quarantine duration in practice, rather than a uniform 14-days quarantine period. Remarkably, we may need to extend the current quarantine duration for people aged 0 ∼22 and over 55 because the related 0.95-th quantiles are much greater than 14 days
State Capitalism as an Instrument of Diplomacy
Using survey data on Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs), we examine the effect of home-government diplomatic support on Chinese firms’ overseas performance. The findings indicate that the level of diplomatic support offered by the home government has a positive association with the overseas performance of Chinese MNEs. Strong political relations between China and the host country can further boost the effect of home-country diplomatic suppo…
