Reversibility of Impaired Functional Brain Networks in Classic Trigeminal Neuralgia After Surgery Treatment
Objective : Functional abnormalitiesz in classic trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) have been confirmed in previous studies, implying an influential role of alterations in brain networks in exploring the pathogenesis and treatment strategies for CTN. Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) is a successful therapy option for CTN patients. However, direct comparisons of pre- and post-treatment cohorts have been insufficient in existing research. Methods : I…
Associations of physical fitness and choice reaction time with chronic fatigue in working-age adults
Background Chronic fatigue is prevalent among working-age adults and has been linked to reduced physical capacity and impaired cognitive performance. While physical fitness is considered protective against fatigue-related dysfunction, few large-scale studies have examined how multidimensional fitness profiles relate simultaneously to chronic fatigue status and functional cognitive–motor outcomes. Clarifying these associations may improve risk str…
Spatial characteristics of physical education teacher allocation in basic education
Background Achieving educational equity requires understanding how physical education (PE) teachers are spatially distributed. Methods Guided by a sports-geography lens on spatial allocation (center–periphery dynamics; clustering/dispersion), we operationalized the framework into a composite PE-teacher allocation index covering quantity, structure, quality, and professionalization. Indicator selection and interpretation follow the spatial framewo…
Spatial inequality and policy implications of school physical education resource allocation
Introduction Equitable access to school physical education (PE) resources is central to education goals, yet sub-provincial spatial patterns in China remain underexamined. Methods Using 2024 data for 107 districts/counties in Shaanxi, we built a human–material–financial index with entropy weights, mapped distributions (GIS, standard deviational ellipse), tested clustering (Global/Local Moran’s I, LISA), decomposed inequality (Dagum’s Gini), and i…

Are Extrinsic Goals Detrimental to Public Service Motivation? A Panel Analysis Based in Taiwan
The relationship between utilitarian incentives and public service motivation (PSM) has long been a core issue in public administration research. Scholars have accumulated ample evidence regarding how the pursuit of monetary rewards can affect PSM, but we know relatively little about the effect of various non-monetary rewards on PSM. The pursuit of utilitarian incentives, in goal content theory (GCT), is referred to as extrinsic goals. The presen…
The role of gender equality in advancing development
Gender equality and women empowerment are central to academic and policy debates on development. In the spirit of celebrating and reflecting on 75 years of research published by Public Administration and Development (PAD), this article aims to take stock of the journal's contribution to the knowledge base and practice of promoting gender equality. This article reviews research output published in PAD and identifies key themes and perspectives on …

Development and validation of a Systemic Sclerosis Health Literacy Scale
Background and aim: Health literacy levels are strongly associated with clinical outcomes and quality of life in patients with chronic diseases, and patients with limited health literacy often require more medical care and achieve poorer clinical outcomes. Among the large number of studies on health literacy, few studies have focused on the health literacy of people with systemic sclerosis (SSc), and there is no specific tool to measure health li…
The China effect on regional economic integration
Does China’s growing economic presence pose an opportunity or a threat to regional economic integration? The authors answer this question by analyzing longitudinal and cross-country evidence from three regions, Central, South, and Southeast Asia. A unique panel dataset detailing bilateral economic cooperation and each economy’s political-economic factors from 2000 to 2019 was examined. This study concludes that (1) inbound foreign direct investme…
Parents' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Childhood Obesity in Singapore
The obesity pandemic is increasingly threatening Asian populations. This is especially so for children from higher-income countries, such as Singapore. Among the various driving factors of obesity, parents' health knowledge, attitudes, and practices are underexplored. The present study uses a nationally representative sample of 1,491 responses from Singapore to investigate parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) about childhood obesity…
Work Motivation in the Public Service
Work motivation in the public service (WMPS) was proposed to address street-level bureaucrats' work motivation based on the self-determination theory (SDT). Using mixed methods, the present study developed the WMPS scale within a Chinese context. A series of analyses supported the construct validity, reliability, content validity, convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion validity of the WMPS scale. The scale includes 20 scale items in …
Revisiting Motivations for a Public Service Career (MPSC)
Motivations for choosing a public service career have long been a core issue in public administration research. This study focuses on China. Using the self-determination theory (SDT) as the basic framework, we revise Chen et al.’s scale which captures multiple motivations for a public service career (MPSC). We then validate the revised scale with responses from a questionnaire. The results show five distinct dimensions of MPSC, and all of them ar…
International tax competition and foreign direct investment in the Asia–Pacific region
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate how a country's competitive tax policy influences its inward foreign direct investments (FDI) in the Asia–Pacific region, even when given particular constraints (e.g., population, public governance, skilled labor, and so on) exist. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses the system GMM estimation approach to test the hypothesis. Data on FDI, corporate income tax, and various confounding facto…
No, I cannot just walk away’
Despite compromised work morale, Chinese public employees generally feel reluctant to quit a public service job. The present study looks deeply into government career entrenchment, defined here as “public employees’ perceived career immobility due to the concern for alternative career availability and substantial losses upon career shifting.” By using mixed methods, the authors identify and measure four distinctive types of government career entr…
