摘要：
Rooftop photovoltaic technology represents a sustainable and ecologically sound approach, capable of optimizing solar energy utilization, thereby addressing various concerns including carbon emissions reduction and environmental preservation. Although the government is encouraging and supporting farmers to install rooftop photovoltaic systems, their inclination to adopt the technology is low. To assist policymakers in developing effective behavioral intervention measures, this study aims to enhance the framework of the theory of planned behavior by incorporating three new factors: farmers' own power, authority power, and face consciousness. This will enable better exploration of new areas and improve the theory's applicability. Using structural equation modeling and data from 1243 farmer questionnaires from eight Chinese provinces, an empirical study of the factors influencing the willingness to implement rooftop photovoltaic is conducted in rural China. The results show that farmers' own power (beta = 0.543) is the key driver of farmers' adoption of rooftop photovoltaic technology, followed by authority power (beta = 0.322) and PV cognition (beta = 0.271). Face consciousness (beta = 0.184) and environmental concerns (beta = 0.130) have less impact on farmers' willingness to adopt rooftop photovoltaic. This study offers a novel perspective on rural renewable energy adoption behavior and provides policymakers with theoretical support and empirical evidence for designing programs to promote renewable energy technologies.

摘要：
Prior studies have documented the negative impact of socioeconomic inequality on population health, but few studies have discussed the heterogeneous health effects of socioeconomic inequality. This study proposes using a quantile regression model to examine the heterogeneous influence of socioeconomic inequality (educational inequality, income inequality, and unemployment rate) on population health (life expectancy and healthy life expectancy) based on macro panel data from 160 countries. It was found that in both rich and poor countries, elevated income inequality and unemployment rate significantly predicted reduced life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, while the influences of educational inequality on the two health outcomes were not significant. Furthermore, the negative influence of socioeconomic inequality on population health was mainly observed in countries with lower-level population health. Robust results supported the above findings when lagged population health outcomes were used. Therefore, nations with poor population health should pay more attention to socioeconomic inequality, and state regulations should be actively used to promote equality in income, education and employment for health promotion.

摘要：
International Sociology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 394-410, May 2023. <br/>China’s massive rural to urban migration has created a vast number of left-behind children (LBC) whose parents moved to cities for work. Drawing upon data from LBC and non-left-behind children (NLBC) in three Chinese cities, this study tests the applicability of general strain theory in explaining deviant behavior among adolescents. The analysis results show that LBC status is directly related to lower involvement in deviant behavior, whereas it is also directly linked to academic difficulty and depression, leading to more deviant acts. Compared with NLBC, LBC have an overall lower risk of deviance. Male and middle school students and students experiencing parental abuse and family poverty are more inclined to express greater depression, subsequently promoting higher participation in deviance.
