Unveiling regional disparities in China's photovoltaic development capability through a multidimensional assessment framework
The rapid expansion of China's photovoltaic grid-connected capacity (PV-GCC) plays a pivotal role in energy transition and carbon emission reduction. Yet regional disparities in policy, resources, and economics make its development uneven. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of PV-GCC in China from 2014 to 2023 and the underlying factors. A PV development capability (PV-DC) assessment framework is established, covering policy planning…
Senior-secondary vocational tracking and socio-economic inequality in student educational performance
Engaged in longstanding debates over the impacts of education tracking on educational inequality, this paper aims to examine whether senior-secondary vocational tracking has contributed to socio-economic inequality in student educational performance in Taiwan. Furthermore, this paper goes one step further to compare if there is any difference between education tracks in the level of socio-economic inequality in student performance. Methodological…
Ethnographic study of collaborative music making among professional musicians
Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) has a longstanding tradition of facilitating collaboration among individuals, including in music creation. However, most studies in music creation focus primarily on music generation and individual interaction with supportive software for music writing. Despite the potential usefulness of current technology, it is not clear how technology can effectively support bands in collaboratively creating music, l…
The Transformation of Traditional Peasants
Using the data of Chinese General Social Survey from 2010 to 2018, this study measured the modernity of Chinese peasants from four dimensions: equality and autonomy, positive attitude, general confidence, and open-mindedness. Hierarchical age-period-cohort models were introduced to assess the effect of age, period, and cohort on modernity and to further explore the heterogeneities in the effect of education and off-farm work experience on moderni…
Exploring the interrelationship and coupling coordination between new urbanization and green development in China
The association between financial support of adult children to their parents and informal care provision in China and its differences in household registration, residence arrangement and community-bas…
Financial support was negatively associated with informal care provision of adult children to their parents in China, and the association has differences in household registration, residence arrangement and community-based care services. It is suggested that policymakers should prioritize planning interventions for elderly care services and establish a family caregiver support system
Is Cold Apparent Temperature Associated With the Hospitalizations for Osteoporotic Fractures in the Central Areas of Wuhan? A Time-Series Study
Osteoporosis is alarming problem due to aggravation of global aging, especially in China. Osteoporotic fracture (OF) is one of the most severe consequents of osteoporosis. Many previous studies found that environmental factors had adverse effects on human health. Cold temperature was associated with OF and bone metabolism in prior observational and experimental researches. However, few studies had been conducted on the acute effect of low tempera…
Understanding the effect of retirement on health behaviors in China
Retirement is an important turning point during the course of life, but few studies have examined the effects of retirement on a broad range of health behaviors in China. We use the longitudinal data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) from 2004 to 2015 to conduct empirical analysis. Fuzzy discontinuity regression was used to assess the association between retirement and health behaviors in the entire sample and subgroups based on gen…
The association between reproductive history and the multidimensional health of older adults in rural China and its gender differences
Background: Few studies have examined the association between reproductive history and the multidimensional health of older adults with more diverse reproductive histories and poorer health status in rural China. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of parity, sex ratio of children and late childbearing on multidimensional health and its gender differences. Methods: The analytical sample consisted of 3,377 older adults in rural Chin…
Parents or teachers
While existing research has well-recognized educational plan as an important predictor of students’ educational achievement, the alignment of educational plan and achievement should not be taken for granted. As plan-achievement misalignment is liable to negative psychological and social consequences, this study aims to examine the extent to which parents vis-à-vis teachers could guide students into plan-achievement alignment. Specifically, this s…
Optimism and survival
Optimism and health behaviors were broadly and robustly associated with a lower risk of mortality. Health behaviors mediate the relationship between optimism and mortality. Appropriate intervention should be carried out on optimism and health behaviors among elderly people to improve the likelihood of health in aging
Can community‐based care moderate widowhood's health impact? –A longitudinal study among older Chinese adults
The plethora of pathways leading to health problems of later life has made the causal assessment of widowhood on the health of older adults difficult. This research aimed to assess the short-term impact of widowhood on the objective health of older adults and to the moderating role of community-based care (CBC) in improving the health outcomes of older adults. In this study, the activities of daily living (ADLs) and number of hospitalisations of …
The evolution trend of availability of China’s community-based care services and its impact on the cognitive function of elderly people
There was a significant increase in the availability of CBCS from 2008 to 2018 in China. This study sheds light on the positive correlation between CBCS and cognitive function among Chinese elderly individuals. The results suggest that policymakers should pay more attention to the development of CBCS and the equity of the supply of CBCS in urban and rural areas
