Impact of climate change on farmers’ crop production in China
The impact of climate change on crop production remains a major concern around the world, as cropping is directly linked to global food security. Therefore, accurately estimating the effects on farmers’ crop production is crucial for effective adaptation strategies. We employ the panel Ricardian model to estimate the impact of changes in temperature and precipitation on crop net revenue, using a 17-year panel dataset that includes ~180,000 househ…
The adaptation level and mechanism of grain production to climate change in China
The overall adaptation level and mechanisms of grain production to climate change are estimated using national rural fixed observation points data. Adaptive behaviors have alleviated 52.5 %–63.5 % of the adverse impacts of high temperatures, with rice and maize more adaptable than wheat. However, adaptive behavior has not effectively mitigated excessive precipitation impacts. Technological progress, adaptation technology adoption, and input adjus…

From Agri‐Waste to Sustainable Use
Sustainable agri‐waste utilization is a crucial stage in transforming agricultural production into low‐carbon. Straws, as the primary agricultural waste, are not effectively reused by farmers in developing countries. Burning straws can be widely observed and it is one of the main sources of CO 2 and PM 2.5 emissions from the agricultural sector. Since 2013, China has reformed its agri‐waste governance to promote sustainable use of straws. However…

Impact of socio and demographic factors on multidimensional poverty profile of smallholder arable crop farmers – evidence from Nigeria
Purpose This paper evaluates the impact of socio and demographic factors on the multidimensional poverty of smallholder arable crop farming households in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Data were drawn from the second wave of the LSMS-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture General Household Survey Panel 2012/2013. The methods adopted in analysing the data were descriptive statistics, Alkire and Foster Method (AFM) and logit regression model. Find…
Higher education expansion and gender norms
This paper explores whether the expansion of higher education can influence attitudes regarding gender norms. I evaluate the impact of China’s higher education expansion since 1999. The results show that the reform has significantly increased higher educational attainment for both women and men. However, women’s progressive views on gender roles are negatively affected following the expansion. The erosion of women’s egalitarian ideology can be at…
Does Subjective Dietary Knowledge Affect Sugar-Sweetened Carbonated Beverages Consumption and Child Obesity? Empirical Evidence from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China
Worldwide, overweight and obesity have become an important public health problem affecting the health of children and adolescents. In China, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has reached 19 percent among the 6-17-year-old age group. Although studies have shown that regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), especially sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages (SSCBs), is positively correlated with overweight and obesity among chil…
Winners and losers of the Sino–US trade war from economic and environmental perspectives
The ongoing trade war between the United States and China is having profound impacts on the global economy. As recent studies have found substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and air pollution embedded in the global supply chains, the Sino–US trade war may also affect emissions and health burdens worldwide, which remains poorly understood. Here, we estimate the potential changes in gross domestic product (GDP), anthropogenic emissions and particu…
A multitude of people singing together
Among other things, city parks are places for people to relax or go for a walk in a natural and beautiful environment. Usually removed from the chaos of the city, parks often satisfy the desires of many city-dwellers for a place of natural beauty. Quite often, they are an integral part of a community. In Chinese parks, people do various activities freely in this natural space, such as physical exercise, tai chi, chess, dancing and singing. When m…
The Available Time Window for Embryo Transfer in the Rhesus Monkey ( M acaca mulatta )
Much effort has been focused on improving assisted reproductive technology procedures in humans and nonhuman primates ( NHP s). However, the pregnancy rate after embryo transfer ( ET ) has not been satisfactory, indicating that some barriers still need to be overcome in this important procedure. One of the key factors is embryo–uterine synchronicity, which is little known in NHP s. The objective of this study was to investigate the available ET t…
Effect of sugar type on the survival of frozen-thawed rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) sperm
Sperm-freezing extenders supplemented with sugar or a combination of different sugars are widely used for the cryopreservation of nonhuman primate spermatozoa. Understanding which sugar or combination of sugars offers the highest level of cryoprotection would be beneficial for the development of sperm-freezing extenders. In the present study we aimed to investigate the effect of glucose, lactose, and raffinose separately or in combination on the …
Effect of glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide on cryopreservation of rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) sperm
Glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are widely used as penetrating cryoprotectants in the freezing of sperm, and various concentrations are applied in different species and laboratories. The present study aimed to examine the effect of these two cryoprotectants at different concentrations (2%, 5%, 10%, and 15% glycerol or DMSO) on rhesus monkey sperm cryopreservation. The results showed that the highest recovery of post‐thaw sperm motility, an…
Effect of amino acids on cryopreservation of cynomolgus monkey ( macaca fascicularis ) sperm
The effects of three amino acids (proline, glutamine, and glycine) added to the freezing medium Tes‐Tris‐egg yolk (TTE) for cryopreservation of cynomolgus monkey ( Macaca fascicularis ) spermatozoa were studied. This is the first report on the effects of amino acids on nonhuman primate sperm cryopreservation. The addition of 5mM proline, 10mM glutamine, and 10 or 20mM glycine each significantly improved post‐thaw sperm motility and membrane and a…
