Beyond the Bell: After-School Programs and Educational Equity in Chinese Primary and Secondary Schools
In 2021, China introduced the “double reduction” policy, imposing strict regulations on shadow education and mandating the widespread implementation of after-school programs (ASPs). Against this backdrop, this study examines the role of ASPs in China’s compulsory education system from an equity perspective. By integrating school resources and family background, the study establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the factors influencin…
Shoutai Pill synergistically inhibits internal reproductive organ apoptosis: Coordinated EGFR/PI3K/AKT modulation in primary ovarian insufficiency
The results indicate that STW effectively restores hormonal homeostasis, ovarian function, and uterine morphology in POI mice. This therapeutic effect may involve inhibition of the ovarian-endometrial cell apoptosis cascade via activation of the EGFR/PI3K/AKT pathway. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of POI and support STW as a potential therapeutic strategy targeting the ovary-uterus axis
The chilling effects of unsuccessful antidumping investigations on firm export dynamics
This paper studies the aftermath of “unsuccessful” antidumping investigations that failed to achieve positive antidumping findings or antidumping duties against foreign exporters. While failed investigations might be viewed as benign, “unsuccessful” investigations may nonetheless elevate trade policy uncertainty since investigated products face dramatically increased probabilities of future antidumping investigations. Our analysis of Chinese firm…
Foreign language anxiety, enjoyment, and boredom among Chinese secondary students: A control-value theory approach
For decades, studies on learner emotions in foreign language learning have been predominantly focused on foreign language anxiety, and recent years have witnessed a surge in the exploration of other positive and negative emotions such as enjoyment and boredom. The current study aimed to extend this line of inquiry and explored the bidirectional relations between foreign language achievements and learner emotions through a questionnaire study amon…
Integrating Resilience Theory Into a Cultivated Land System: Empirical Insights From China's Key Grain‐Producing Regions
Exploring cultivated land use and conservation from a resilience perspective is crucial to address regional food security concerns. This article first examines the theoretical applicability of resilience in the context of cultivated land use systems and subsequently introduces a specific concept of cultivated land system resilience (CLSR). Focusing on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, a major grain‐producing area in China, the study constr…

Effect of export opportunity on the demand for skilled migrants and their next generation's education: Evidence from China
This paper examines whether increased export opportunity improved the relative demand for skilled labors in China's migrants, and whether such effects further improved their investments in their next generation's education. To answer these questions, by employing the National Migrant Monitoring Data, Manufacturing Enterprise Survey, China Customs Database and China's Population survey data, and using international demand shocks to construct instr…
Financial development and natural resources: The dynamics of China’s outward FDI
This paper studies the dynamics of China's outward FDI (OFDI) by examining the changing roles of host economy financial development and natural resources in the decision of OFDI destination choice. Using a country‐level panel data set of China's OFDI during 2003–2015, we find that Chinese multinationals show a strong and growing incentive of seeking natural resources of host economies, especially after the 2008 financial crisis, regardless of whe…
Urban Heat Island Intensity Changes in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China Revealed by Downscaling Modis LST with Deep Learning
The urban heat island (UHI) effect caused by urbanization negatively impacts the ecological environment and human health. It is crucial for urban planning and social development to monitor the urban heat island effect and study its mechanism. Due to spatial and temporal resolution limitations, existing land surface temperature (LST) data obtained from remote sensing data is challenging to meet the long-term fine-scale surface temperature mapping …
Understanding the Farmland Rights Confirmation Policy from the Perspective of Farmers: Evidence from Jiangxi, China
Since the 1970s, although the Chinese central government has constructed farmland rights confirmation policy to stimulate the vitality of rural land elements, it is rare to discuss the effectiveness of the policy from the perspective of farmers. This paper applies the deep interview and questionnaire to present an analysis framework consisting of "policy implementation-input behavior in agricultural production-farmland transfer" and testifies the…
Spatial Spillover Effect of Rural Labor Transfer on the Eco-Efficiency of Cultivated Land Use: Evidence from China
In this study, the influence of rural labor transfer and its spatial spillover effect on the eco-efficiency of cultivated land use (ECLU) in different regions were investigated using the undesirable super-efficiency epsilon based measure (EBM) and spatial Durbin models and data of 31 Chinese provinces for the period 1990-2018. The results show that: (1) China's rural labor transfer rate increased; (2) in the east region, the ECLU has exceeded the…

In this narrative review, we develop an analytical framework to examine mask usage, synthesizing the relevant literature to inform multiple areas: population impact, transmission characteristics, source control, wearer protection, sociological considerations, and implementation considerations. A primary route of transmission of COVID-19 is via …
ESRα Promoter Methylation May Modify the Association Between Lipid Metabolism and Type 2 Diabetes in Chinese Farmers
Objective: This study is aimed to explore the potential association among the estrogen receptor alpha ( ESR α) promoter methylation, lipid metabolism and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A total of 1143 rural residents were recruited randomly from Henan Province, China. The circulating methylation levels in ESR α promoter region were determined by quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Serum high density…
Credit constraint and firm’s export mode choice
How do firms’ credit constraint affect their export mode choices between direct exporting and indirect exporting through intermediaries? This study explores this issue in a heterogeneous firm model where firms differ not only in productivity but also in credit levels. Our model predicts that more productive and financially less constrained firms tend to choose the more advanced export mode and that for the cutoff firms, there is an overall invers…
An Adaptive Cutoff Frequency Selection Approach for Fast Fourier Transform Method and Its Application into Short-Term Traffic Flow Forecasting
Historical measurements are usually used to build assimilation models in sequential data assimilation (S-DA) systems. However, they are always disturbed by local noises. Simultaneously, the accuracy of assimilation model construction and assimilation forecasting results will be affected. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method can be used to acquire de-noised historical traffic flow measurements to reduce the influence of local noises on construc…
An Approach for Filter Divergence Suppression in a Sequential Data Assimilation System and Its Application in Short-Term Traffic Flow Forecasting
Mathematically describing the physical process of a sequential data assimilation system perfectly is difficult and inevitably results in errors in the assimilation model. Filter divergence is a common phenomenon because of model inaccuracies and affects the quality of the assimilation results in sequential data assimilation systems. In this study, an approach based on an L1-norm constraint for filter-divergence suppression in sequential data assi…

Exports and Credit Constraints under Incomplete Information: Theory and Evidence from China
This paper examines why credit constraints for domestic and exporting firms arise in a setting where banks do not observe firms' productivities. To maintain incentive compatibility, banks lend below the amount that firms need for optimal production. The longer time needed for export shipments induces a tighter credit constraint on exporters than on purely domestic firms. In our application to Chinese firms, we find that the credit constraint is m…
An Anatomy of Intermediaries in China’s Export Market
Analyzing firm-level exports of China, especially those conducted by intermediaries, from 2000 to 2006 reveals a number of interesting findings. Regarding the role of intermediaries in China’s exports, we find the following: first, intermediaries became less important when China’s overall export grew. Second, intermediaries are more important for ordinary exports than for processing exports. Third, intermediaries are more important for relatively…

A review of soil heavy metal pollution from industrial and agricultural regions in China: Pollution and risk assessment
Touch or not touch? Prior touch facilitates consumers’ adoption of new products
Previous touch literature cannot answer whether prior touching of a new product (i.e. a new watch) can facilitate consumers’ evaluation of another extremely incongruent product (i.e. a new camera). The present research posits that asking consumers to previously touch (versus not touch) an extremely new product (i.e. a new computer mouse) can offer them an opportunity to transfer their learning of the touched new product to understanding another t…
