Abstract In response to the changing geopolitical landscape in Asia, both China and United States attempt alter regional order their own favour, economic security realms. This article shows how diverging views on future arrangements are leading strategic shifts increasing tension between these two Great Powers. As part of its quest for Great-Power status, has been actively pushing initiatives such as Belt Road Initiative (BRI) Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), well adopting...
Particulate matter (PM) has been found to elevate the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) onset. Among contributors PM, dust PM stands as second natural source, and its emissions are escalating due climate change. Despite this, information on effect PE onset is scarce. Hence, this study aims investigate impact PM10, PM2.5–10, PM2.5 A nationwide time-stratified case-crossover was conducted between 2015 2020, using data from 18,616 cases across 1921 hospitals. The analysis employed a conditional...
National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE) is the entrance exam for medical practice in China, and its general knowledge test (GMKT) evaluates abilities of students to comprehensively apply clinical practice. This study aimed identify nonacademic predictors GMKT performance, which would benefit schools designing appropriate strategies techniques facilitate transition from qualified practitioners. In 1202 students, we conducted deletion-substitution-addition (DSA) structural equation model...
Purpose Entrepreneurial mentoring is widely regarded as an effective way to train novice entrepreneurs all over the world. However, effectiveness of this approach and determinants are not well understood under country-specific conditions. The purpose paper build a conceptual framework use empirical analysis explore effect its determinants, especially in Chinese context. Design/methodology/approach uses data from 172 young which had been supported by Youth Business China, Mianyang Office...
Executive turnover is important in the governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Herein, we focus on executive China's SOEs, and implementation related evaluation mechanisms under different levels government intervention. We collect data listed Chinese SOEs from 1999 to 2012, find that about half SOE executives leave office within two terms, which line with recommendations. Moreover, more than a third after less one term, nearly 20% highlighting uncertainty unpredictability appointments...
Policy iteration approximate dynamic programming (DP) is an important algorithm for solving optimal decision and control problems. In this paper, we focus on the problem associated with policy approximation in DP discrete-time nonlinear systems using infinite-horizon undiscounted value functions. Taking error into account, demonstrate asymptotic stability of under our setting, show boundedness function during each step, introduce a new sufficient condition to converge bounded neighborhood...

A dualistic-order thesis has been emerged as a widely-used concept to describe East Asia's regional dynamics. According the thesis, economic and security spheres of region have become divorced from one other, whereby China United States dominate realms, respectively. This paper demonstrates deficiencies this based on comprehensive assessment developments in region, well strategic choices small middle powers. In order form more accurate systematic understanding prosperity stability, develops...
We have developed conjugated polyelectrolyte-based fluorescence turn-on assays for caspase 3 and 8. These are composed of a cationic polyphenylene ethynylene polymer PPE4+ p-nitroaniline modified peptide substrate. The the assay is initially turned-off because efficient quenching by moiety on anionic substrates. A effect observed due to cleavage enzyme formation neutral unit which has no polymer. validated this design obtained kinetic parameters demonstrated good sensitivity as in pmol/L...
As China's rise continues to shape its role in international affairs, Chinese relations scholars are engaging a lively debate about the country's grand strategy, particularly surrounding whether or not China should abandon non-alliance strategy it has adopted since early 1980s. Some contend that cannot safeguard national interests face of United States' security alliance network throughout East Asia, and without allies will be contained by US. Pro-alliance scholars, therefore, especially...
Digital technologies, such as AI, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) and VR/AR, have been widely applied in firms greatly transformed supply chain management. We collect the annual reports Chinese listed companies adopt a machine learning algorithm to construct variables proxying for firms' adoption digital which we call digitalisation. Given importance mitigating volatility nowadays, empirically show that higher level digitalisation can lead significant decrease...
The current paper aimed to explore the linkage between employee strengths mindset and voice behavior, considered mediating roles of general self-efficacy leader–member exchange (LMX) in relationship. We collected data from 556 participants various Chinese organizations with a multi-wave design. results structural equation modelling analysis showed that has positive association LMX, respectively, mediate relationship behavior. More importantly, LMX also simultaneously study is first...
This study investigated the effects of workplace clean indoor air law (CIAL) coverage on worksite compliance with CIALs, smoking participation among workers, and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure nonsmoker workers. improved previous research by using probability a resident in county covered taking into account state, county, city legislation. The county-level being CIAL is merged two large nationally representative US surveys behaviors: Tobacco Use Supplement Current Population Survey...
AbstractThe Indo-Pacific region has become a central focus of great power competition. Not surprisingly, rising China seeks to play an important, if not leading role in the transformation Asia's present regional order. The United States, meanwhile, as unipole, strong incentives prevent rise peer competitor. Facing certain structural and domestic constraints, is disinclined resort strategy violent revision or subversion historically pursued by previous powers. Instead, gradual change existing...
Many prior studies on minority entrepreneurship have found that some consumers display a strong bias against products from ventures. Not surprisingly, discrimination sold by minority-owned businesses increases the failure rate for such This paper seeks to verify extent of consumer products, and investigates whether it varies among different products. Building insights theory discrimination, we conducted comparative behavior experiment 155 subjects expected pricing two new (common with ethnic...

Knocking combustion is the main bottleneck when downsizing and supercharging spark-ignition engines for pursuing higher thermal efficiency. The effects of thermodynamic conditions and/or fuel stratifications have been extensively studied, but role properties in knocking evolutions has not fully clarified. In this study, synchronization measurement on through simultaneous pressure acquisition high-speed direct photography was performed an optical rapid compression machine. characteristics...
Abstract This paper examines the career mobility and performance evaluation of leaders China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) at central, provincial prefectural levels. Using data on executive turnover within publicly listed SOEs, we find that central local SOE have a similar flow pattern. Specifically, vertical same business group is common more than 60 per cent leave their office three years. Only minority achieve political promotion. We also criteria are different across SOEs. The who...
