Relationship between resilience, social support, and mental health in breast cancer patients based on the four-quadrant health model
Background Breast cancer is a major public health problem that exposes patients to persistent physical symptoms and psychological distress across diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Objective: This study explored the associations of resilience and social support with mental health indicators among individuals with breast cancer and examined whether a Four-Quadrant Health Model could distinguish clinically meaningful physical-psychological risk p…

The Present and Future Dementia Burden in China
China has the largest number of patients with dementia in the world, and the rate of growth is expected to escalate further as the population ages. The majority of dementia patients rely on their families for care and assistance. Using demographic models of kinship, we provide quantitative estimates of the burden of dementia, from 1990 up to 2050, by illustrating the number of kin accessible to dementia patients, the dementia prevalence among kin…
Research on the aging-suitability of community outdoor spaces in Zhengzhou based on the analytic hierarchy process and semantic differential method
Background: As global populations age, the suitability of community outdoor spaces for older adult residents has become a critical urban planning concern. However, comprehensive evaluation methods for assessing these spaces are lacking. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the aging-suitability of community outdoor spaces in Zhengzhou, China, and provide optimization suggestions for urban planners and policymakers. Methods: An evaluation index …
Latent profile analysis on the decent work of Chinese employees
Background: This study used a person-centered approach to identify the specific performance of decent work in various groups to determine the heterogeneity of its five dimensions. Method: The Decent Work Scale, Work Need Satisfaction Scale, Socioeconomic Status Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Life Well-being Scale were used to conduct a network survey of organizations in various industries in Mainland China. A total of 1,000 questionnaires wer…
CoBacFM
Soil microbes regulate various biogeochemical cycles on Earth and respond rapidly to climate change, which is accompanied by changes in soil pH. However, the long-term patterns of these changes under future climate scenarios remain unclear. We propose a core-bacteria-forecast model (CoBacFM) to model soil pH changes by shifts of core bacterial groups under future scenarios using a curated soil microbiota dataset of global grasslands. Our model es…
Diverse pathways from adolescence to early adulthood among China's rural youth
Past studies examining the transition to adulthood within the Chinese context often implicitly or explicitly assume that the rural population is a homogeneous group and suggest that rural individuals tend to enter the workforce and marry at younger ages than their urban peers. This assumption overlooks the distinct challenges faced by rural youth, who often confront higher poverty risks and greater uncertainties compared to urban counterparts, ye…
The inclusiveness of China’s development finance
Recent years have seen China emerging as a new donor outside of the West’s club of traditional donors, seeking to fill the financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Chinese government has adopted a hybrid approach to international aid, in which it supplies trade credit and other types of loans to underdeveloped countries through its policy banks and state-owned enterprises in addition to traditional aid. As such a hybrid app…
Unequal Duties and Unequal Retirement
The gender gap in labor force participation (LFP) in China has grown over the last 30 years, despite substantial advances in women's education and economic development. Previous research has identified gender discrimination and work–family conflicts as two key explanations for the gap, both of which have risen since the start of China's economic reform in 1978. Using multiple waves of the national census and household panel data from China, this …
Antecedents of Public Mental Health During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: COVID-19 affects not only patients' physical health but also their mental health. For the general public, although their physical health may not be directly affected, their mental health may be affected by stress, anxiety, and social panic caused by COVID-19. Controlling the pandemic should focus on not only physical health but also mental health. For the general public, mental health is even more important, as good mental health at t…
Ardep, a Rapid Degenerate Primer Design Pipeline Based on k-mers for Amplicon Microbiome Studies
The survey of microbial diversity in various environments has relied upon the widespread use of well-evaluated amplification primers for taxonomic marker genes (e.g., prokaryotic 16S and fungal ITS). However, it is urgent to develop a fast and accurate bioinformatic program to design primers for microbial functional genes to explore more mechanisms in the microbial community. Here, we provide a rapid degenerate primer design pipeline (ARDEP) base…
