- ItemChina's Changing Alcohol Market and Need for an Enhanced Policy Response: A Narrative Review(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2022-05-11) Liu S; Huang F; Zhu X; Zhou S; Si X; Zhao Y; Liu Y; Zhang X; Casswell S; Tchounwou PBThis study describes trends in alcohol consumption in the context of an expanding commercial context, current policy responses, and flaws in relation to international best practice for alcohol control in China. We surveyed the literature and other documents in Chinese or English up to December 2020 on policy responses to alcohol consumption and harm, industry structure, and marketing practices in China. Databases searched included PubMed, China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang Data, Web of Science, and Baidu Scholar. We also scanned the official websites of government organizations and gathered information using snowballing. We analyzed existing alcohol policy against evidence-based, cost-effective policies for reducing alcohol harm. Our findings show that although some restrictive policies have been enacted with potential impacts on alcohol harm, they are not comprehensive, and some are poorly executed. The long history of alcohol use remains an important element in alcohol consumption by the Chinese population. However, alcohol marketing and promotion, ease of access, and affordability have become increasingly prominent. The gaps identified in alcohol policy suggest improved strategies and measures to reduce the harmful use of alcohol are urgently needed in China.
- ItemOrigin and evolution of the kiwifruit canker pandemic(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-01) McCann HC; Li L; Liu Y; Li D; Pan H; Zhong C; Rikkerink EHA; Templeton MD; Straub C; Colombi E; Rainey PB; Huang HRecurring epidemics of kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) bleeding canker disease are caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). In order to strengthen understanding of population structure, phylogeography and evolutionary dynamics, we isolated Pseudomonas from cultivated and wild kiwifruit across six provinces in China. Based on the analysis of eighty sequenced Psa genomes we show that China is the origin of the pandemic lineage but that strain diversity in China is confined to just a single clade. In contrast, Korea and Japan harbour strains from multiple clades. Distinct independent transmission events marked introduction of the pandemic lineage into New Zealand, Chile, Europe, Korea and Japan. Despite high similarity within the core genome and minimal impact of within-clade recombination, we observed extensive variation even within the single clade from which the global pandemic arose.
- ItemSeasonal variation in soil and herbage CO2 efflux for a sheep-grazed alpine meadow on the north-east Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and estimated net annual CO2 exchange(2022-06-02) Yuan H; Matthew C; He XZ; Sun Y; Liu Y; Zhang T; Gao X; Yan C; Chang S; Hou FThe Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a vast geographic area currently subject to climate warming. Improved knowledge of the CO2 respiration dynamics of the Plateau alpine meadows and of the impact of grazing on CO2 fluxes is highly desirable. Such information will assist land use planning. We measured soil and vegetation CO2 efflux of alpine meadows using a closed chamber technique over diurnal cycles in winter, spring and summer. The annual, combined soil and plant respiration on ungrazed plots was 28.0 t CO2 ha-1 a-1, of which 3.7 t ha-1 a-1occurred in winter, when plant respiration was undetectable. This suggests winter respiration was driven mainly by microbial oxidation of soil organic matter. The winter respiration observed in this study was sufficient to offset the growing season CO2 sink reported for similar alpine meadows in other studies. Grazing increased herbage respiration in summer, presumably through stimulation of gross photosynthesis. From limited herbage production data, we estimate the sustainable yield of these meadows for grazing purposes to be about 500 kg herbage dry matter ha-1 a-1. Addition of photosynthesis data and understanding of factors affecting soil carbon sequestration to more precisely determine the CO2 balance of these grasslands is recommended.
- ItemStrategic Asset Seeking and Innovation Performance: The Role of Innovation Capabilities and Host Country Institutions(MDPI AG, 2020-03-02) Mi L; Yue X-G; Shao X-F; Kang Y; Liu YPeering through the lenses of the strategic intent perspective and strategic fit paradigm, in this study, we seek to examine the contingent conditions under which emerging market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) with strategic asset seeking (SAS) intent can achieve improved innovation performance. We developed a contingency model of how the relationship between SAS intent and innovation performance is contingent on the moderating effects of firms’ innovation capability and institutional quality in the host country, as well as on the synergistic interaction of independent moderating effects from these two factors. We combined survey data from 320 Chinese MNEs with archival data to test our hypotheses. Our results show that SAS intent can lead to positive innovation performance when (a) the investing firm has developed high levels of innovation capability, and (b) synergistic interactions exist between institutional quality and firms’ innovation capability regarding their moderating effect on the SAS intent-innovation performance link.
- ItemThe physicochemical properties of β-carotene emulsions stabilized by whey protein/octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified-starch complexes: Influence of OSA substitution degree of starch(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04-01) Lin Q; Yang X; Liu Y; Lu Y; Liu W; Han J; Singh H; Ye AComplexes formed between heated whey protein isolate (HWPI) and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified starches were prepared to stabilize β-carotene-containing oil-in-water emulsions. The zeta-potential, turbidity, particle size, and microstructure of the complexes were determined to evaluate the impact of the degree of substitution (DS) of OSA-modified starch on the complexes' structure. HWPI and OSA-modified starches with low DS values formed elongated complexes. With increasing DS, the particle size of the complexes reduced. In comparison to the emulsions stabilized by HWPI or OSA-modified starches, the emulsions stabilized by HWPI/OSAS complexes exhibited superior protection of β-carotene during storage under acidic conditions. When the DS of OSA-modified starch increased, the particle size of emulsions stabilized by the complexes decreased, with less droplet aggregation occurring. The physical stability of these emulsions against storage time, ions, and thermal process showed a positive relationship with the DS, while the β-carotene retention in the emulsions during storage showed a negative relationship with the DS. The greater physical stability of the complex-stabilized emulsions containing OSA-modified starch with a higher DS may be ascribed to enhanced electrostatic repulsion among oil droplets and the formation of a more rigid and denser surface structure in the presence of more OSA groups.
