Spatiotemporal trends and driving factors of gonorrhea incidence in China: A 20-year analysis (2003–2022)
Introduction: Gonorrhea represents a major global public health challenge, demonstrating significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity across China. Therefore, spatiotemporal analytical approaches are required to better understand gonorrhea incidence patterns. Methods: Employing an innovative methodological framework that combines spatiotemporal scan statistics with Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR), this study systematically ex…
Modeling the drivers of mumps incidence in China: A spatial multi-method analysis
Introduction Mumps poses a considerable public health burden in China and exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. Systematically exploring its multi-scale driving factors is crucial for informing targeted public health interventions. However, previous research often relied on global models or single-scale local models, limiting the precise identification of region-specific determinants. Methods Using provincial-level data from China in 2020 (…

Spatial stratified heterogeneity of mumps incidence in China: A Geodetector-based analysis of driving factors
Background: China reports the highest number of mumps cases globally, with the disease demonstrating distinct spatial clustering and variability characteristics. Methods: This study employed descriptive statistics and spatial autocorrelation analysis to examine the spatial distribution characteristic and patterns of mumps across 31 Chinese provinces in 2020. Furthermore, based on the principle of spatial stratified heterogeneity, the Geodetector …
Spatial patterns and socio-environmental determinants of gonorrhea incidence in China
Introduction Gonorrhea is a major sexually transmitted infection in China, showing distinct regional clustering and spatial heterogeneity. Understanding its geographical distribution and influencing factors is crucial for targeted prevention. Methods We analyzed 2022 gonorrhea incidence across 31 Chinese provinces using both traditional and spatial statistical approaches, including descriptive statistics, spatial autocorrelation, multiple linear …
From infectious diseases to chronic diseases: The paradigm shift of spatial epidemiology in disease prevention and control
Spatial epidemiology, as an important branch of epidemiology, has undergone a significant paradigm shift from infectious disease prevention and control to chronic disease management. This paper systematically reviews the application progress of spatial epidemiology in the study of infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, HIV) and chronic diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular diseases), focusing on its role in identifying spatial distribution patterns…
Modeling mumps incidence in China: Spatiotemporal clusters and evolving risk factors (2005–2020)

This study provides a methodological framework for spatiotemporal disease surveillance and evidence-based policy-making to reduce mumps transmission in China
Climate Change, Fiscal Action, and Financial Access: Unpacking Emissions Drivers in Asian Economies
Climate change remains one of the most pressing global challenges, with rising carbon emissions contributing significantly to environmental degradation and economic vulnerabilities. This study examines the effectiveness of government fiscal measures in mitigating climate change in Asian economies from 2004 to 2022. The study uses robust panel econometric methods, cross‐sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lags (CS‐ARDL), generalized met…
From crisis to opportunity: Advancements in emergency language services
Emergency language services play a critical role in emergency management and language services, facilitating effective information transmission, timely life-saving efforts, accurate public opinion guidance, and the maintenance of social stability during public emergencies. This study aims to comprehensively assess the current state of emergency language research, exploring recent advancements and future trends in emergency language services. Usin…
Social and environmental development: Fresh concepts and soft measures towards sustainable development
With the incremental growth in overall world population, environmental related aftermaths of industrial development are becoming challenges for sustainability. In social perspective, poverty eradication is still the biggest global need which is an indispensable prerequisite for sustainable development (SD). As a solution, business organizations in various industries need to do the efforts with zero‐sum competition for a trailblazing initiative of…
Effect of Sex on the Association Between Nonmedical Use of Opioids and Sleep Disturbance Among Chinese Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study
Sleep disturbance and non-medical prescription opioid use (NMPOU) are currently growing public health concerns, and sex differences may result in differential exposure to frequency of NMPOU or sleep disturbance. This study aimed to explore the association between the frequency of lifetime or past-year NMPOU and sleep disturbance and to evaluate whether there was any sex difference in this association among Chinese adolescents. A cross-sectional s…
Chinese Sexual Minority Male Adolescents’ Suicidality and Body Mass Index
Excess weight status may increase the risk of suicidality among sexual minority females, but few studies have examined this suicidality disparity in sexual minority males. This study examined the association between sexual minority status and suicide attempts in Chinese male adolescents and tested whether body mass index (BMI) had a moderating effect on that association. Data were collected from 7th to 12th graders from seven randomly selected pr…
Association between Problematic Internet Use and Sleep Disturbance among Adolescents: The Role of the Child’s Sex
Use of the Internet has become an integral part of daily life. Adolescents are especially at a higher risk of developing problematic Internet use (PIU). Although one of the most well-known comorbid conditions of PIU is sleep disturbance, little is known about the sex disparity in this association. This school-based survey in students of grades 7−9 was conducted to estimate the prevalence of PIU and sleep disturbance among Chinese adolescents, to …
Reconstructing a narrative, reinterpreting a history: A case study of translating Big Breasts and Wide Hips
