Patient-Centered Communication and Cancer Patients’ Health
In China, the traditional hierarchical doctor-patient relationship can hinder effective communication, especially in emotionally sensitive settings like cancer care. This study examined how patient-centered communication influences the health status of Chinese cancer patients and whether perceived burden and perceived support mediate this relationship. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 271 cancer patients, yielding 217 valid responses.…
Domain-staged progression of cognitive impairment in older adults
The impact of physical and mind exercise on functional disability in activities of daily living among the oldest old
In addition to encouraging the oldest-old to engage in appropriate physical exercise, promoting simultaneous engagement in mind exercises is important. This approach is more beneficial for sustaining older adults' health and contributes to healthy aging
Personality traits and the trajectory of depression
Depression above the plateau
为揭示海拔高度与人群抑郁间的关系,研究运用2016~2020中国家庭追踪调查、2015中国健康与养老追踪调查、2016青海玉树成年人身心健康状况调查、《中国城市统计年鉴》等数据,采用多层线性模型、中介模型与流行病学病例对照等方法进行数据分析。结果表明:在控制个体与地区层面因素后,海拔高度与抑郁存在正相关关系;人均GDP与C反应蛋白在海拔高度与抑郁之间发挥中介作用;生活在海拔500~1 000、1 000~2 000及4 000~6 000米的人群,其抑郁风险分别是生活在500米以下海拔人群的1.53~1.79倍、1.67~2.25倍与9倍左右;生活在500~2 000米海拔地区中老年人抑郁风险高于青年人, 4 000~6 000米高海拔地区青年人抑郁风险高于中老年人。综上,研究提示海拔高度是抑郁的危险因素,需高度关注不同海拔地区不同年龄人群的抑郁防范工作
The differences in symptom networks of depression, anxiety, and sleep in college students with different stress levels
Stress exacerbates depression, anxiety, and sleep problems among college students, with differences in core symptoms and bridging symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances at varying levels of stress. Therefore, precise interventions can be implemented based on the core and bridge symptoms of the three networks, further improving university students' physical and mental health
The middle tier of states and the Russia-Ukraine war
This article examines the concept of the 'middle tier of states' proposed by Halford Mackinder in 1919, its failure to prevent German-Soviet Union rapprochement in the interwar years, its recent revival and its geopolitical implications. Mackinder's 'heartland thesis' comprises two interrelated parts: the geopolitical significance of the heartland, and the middle tier of states, which he suggested could counteract the pernicious impact of the hea…
The longitudinal associations between perceived importance of the internet and depressive symptoms among a sample of Chinese adults
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which individuals' cognitive evaluation of the importance of the Internet is associated with depressive symptoms, and in what ways. Methods: This study utilized a sample of 4,100 participants from the fourth (2016), fifth (2018), and sixth (2020) waves of the China Family Panel Studies. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. Result: The findings of this study revea…
Research on the Cooperative Governance Path of Multiple Stakeholders in Doctor–Patient Disputes under the Environment of Information Asymmetry
The number of doctor-patient conflicts and disputes in China has been increasing recently. In order to solve the current social problems of the tense doctor-patient relationship and frequent medical disputes, this article, based on grounded theory, uses qualitative analysis software to conduct grounded coding on 622 cases of doctor-patient disputes randomly selected by stratification. After successively adopting open, axial, and selective coding,…
Influence of perceived importance of the internet on life satisfaction and health of the older people
With the global growth of the aging population, healthy aging and active aging has become an important goal for the future social development of all countries. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential relationships between the older people's perceived importance of the Internet, family atmosphere, behavioral independence, life satisfaction, and health. The data come from the China Family Panel Studies' fourth wave (2015–2016) and fif…
Grand strategy and China’s sea power
This paper is an academic review of Red Star over the Pacific: China’s Rise and the Challenge to US Maritime Strategy (2nd Edition). It starts with a critical review of the book’s analytical framework for interpreting the development of China’s sea power in the previous decades. Then it scrutinizes respectively the book’s discussions of the logic and grammar of China’s sea power, and reveals simultaneously the contradictions embedded in China’s m…
Towards naval normalcy
On May 26th, 2015, China published its 10th Defense White Paper which integrated 'open seas protection', along with 'offshore waters defense', into its naval strategy. This shift in naval strategy, albeit largely anticipated, raises a series of important questions about China's maritime ambitions. This article seeks to analyze the causes, nature and challenges of China's latest shift in naval strategy, and its implications for Sino-US maritime re…
Classical geopolitics, realism and the balance of power theory
Since the end of World War II, classical geopolitics as a particular form of realism has been disengaged from the development of mainstream realist theories. This disengagement has not only concealed the value of classical geopolitics as a framework of analysis for policy and strategy, but also created an increasing rift between theory and policy in contemporary realist theories. This paper seeks to reengage classical geopolitics with mainstream …
The Crowe Memorandum, the Rebalance to Asia, and Sino-US Relations
Many contemporary academics and policy analysts have revisited the Anglo-German rivalry before 1914 to predict what may await China and the United States in the twenty-first century. However, few, if indeed any, have specified in what sense this comparison can be made. This paper attempts to fill this gap with a detailed analysis of the strategic parallels between the Anglo-German rivalry then and the China–US competition now through the lens of …
China and Maritime Transformation
This paper seeks to place China’s ongoing maritime transformation in a larger context, and thereby clarify the strategic implications of its pursuit of maritime capabilities. It argues that, given their amphibious nature, rimland powers are bound to encounter more challenges in the pursuit of maritime transformation, and more importantly, such pursuits easily backfire and cause undesirable ramifications. This paper examines the underlying mechani…
China's Arms Transfers to Africa and Political Violence
Chinese arms sales to Africa have increased in recent years. In a region beset by conflict and unstable regimes, and where arms sales are a significant and positive predictor of an increased probability of political violence, this is inherently problematic. The sale of weaponry to a regime in Khartoum caught up in an alleged “genocide” in Darfur, the awkward appearance in 2008 of a Chinese ship loaded with weapons bound for Mugabe's Zimbabwe off …
From refusal to engagement
China has, in the past decade or so, emerged as an important contributor to United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations, with Chinese peacekeepers serving in places as diverse as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Liberia and Sudan. Indeed, China currently sends more peacekeeping troops abroad than any other permanent member of the UN Security Council. This is a major development in Sino-African relations. China's stance on peace operations …
