The Rating of Perceived Exertion—Pediatric (RPE-P) Scale
Physical activity is critical to functional rehabilitation for youth with chronic pain, which may be especially true for those with co-occurring obesity. To facilitate the development of physical activity interventions for youth with chronic pain, the newly developed "Rating of Perceived Exertion-Pediatric" scale was modeled after the widely used pain numeric rating scale-11. This study is an initial evaluation of the scale in a sample of adolesc…
Effects of coronavirus disease 2019 lockdown on metabolic syndrome and its components among Chinese employees
Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the accompanying isolation have changed resident life rhythms and behaviors. This study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in employees in southwestern China. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 3,777 employees of five institutions who underwent physical examinations at the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical Univer…
Risk perception and management of debris flow hazards in the upper salween valley region
Fitting Large Factor Analysis Models With Ordinal Data
A simulation study was conducted to investigate the model size effect when confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models include many ordinal items. CFA models including between 15 and 120 ordinal items were analyzed with mean- and variance-adjusted weighted least squares to determine how varying sample size, number of ordered categories, and misspecification affect parameter estimates, standard errors of parameter estimates, and selected fit indices…
The Main Drivers of Wetland Changes in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region
Wetlands are the most threatened ecosystem in China, and wetland conservation is a national priority because of their importance for water security, flood mitigation, and biodiversity conservation. A goal has been established for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region (BTH) to recover 340 km 2 of wetlands by 2020. To guide restoration and protection efforts, policymakers need information on the trends of wetland loss, conversion of wetlands, and their …
A Pilot Study of Iyengar Yoga for Pediatric Obesity
Obesity negatively impacts the kinematics and kinetics of the lower extremities in children and adolescents. Although yoga has the potential to provide several distinct benefits for children with obesity, this is the first study to examine the benefits of yoga for gait (primary outcome) in youths with obesity. Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical activity, and pain. Feasibility and acceptability were also a…
Public-private partnership in enhancing farmers’ adaptation to drought
Agriculture is an important type of land use but suffers from drought, especially under global climate change scenarios. Although government is a major actor in helping farmers to adapt to drought, lack of funds has constrained its efforts. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mechanism has been widely applied in urban infrastructure development to raise fund for public goods and services, but very few studies explored its role in rural areas. Based …
Farmers’ perception of effective drought policy implementation
Using a qualitative social research method at the local administrative level, this paper provides insight into the policy process in China and farmers' perceptions of the effectiveness of policies implemented to deal with drought. Two villages in rural South-West Yunnan were purposefully selected for the study. The research started with the general assumption that China has a strong top-down hierarchal approach to policy processes and that fundin…
