This research note addresses the question stated in its title, what do we talk about when we talk about Chinese research? The article provides arguments for an understanding of Chinese research as a cultural unit, regardless of regional, political and historical differences that can be found in different territories. This does not mean the regional, political and historical differences are not relevant to researchers, on the contrary, they must be taking into account by researchers. Cultural similarities are needed to connect the different types of Chinese cultures, but not at the expense of omitting regional differences.

The areas which bound the Irish Sea and North Channel possess physical diversities which offered differing degrees of attraction to megalith building peoples. This paper attempts a discussion of those regional differences and of their influence on settlement and intercommunication during the centuries in which the different types of megalith were being built. The Irish Sea basin and its narrower northern strait are fringed by lands in which lie the major portion of our British megaliths. The main reason for this is to be found in the existence of marine highways along the Irish Sea and along the arms which it pushes into the land, and in the presence of connecting routes across the peninsulas which bound its bays.

Abstract This paper constructs a theoretical model to deduce the mechanism of environmental regulation on ecological welfare performance, selects the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2005 ~ 2019, uses the Super-SBM model to measure the ecological welfare performance of China, and the influence of heterogeneous environmental regulation on ecological welfare performance in China is empirically tested by spatial Durbin model. The results show: (1) there are regional differences in the ecological welfare performance of different provinces in China, which illustrates an unbalanced spatial distribution; (2) there is significant positive spatial correlation between market incentive, command -control and voluntary participation environmental regulation and ecological welfare performance; (3) The impact of different types of environmental regulations on the performance of ecological welfare in China is heterogeneous. Command-control and market incentive environmental regulations can improve the performance of ecological welfare, while voluntary participation environmental regulations have no significant impact on the performance of ecological welfare; (4) From the perspective of spatial spillover effect, command-control environmental regulation is not conducive to the ecological welfare performance of neighboring regions, while market incentive environmental regulation is conducive to the improvement of ecological welfare performance of adjacent areas. The spatial spillover effect of voluntary participation environmental regulation on ecological welfare performance in adjacent areas is not significant.

When corporations are confronted with a crisis, well-crafted CEO apologies can serve to repair, restore, and rebuild a damaged corporate image. In prior research, the use of linguistic resources exhibited in CEO corporate apology discourse for different crisis response strategies has not been sufficiently examined. Drawing on the appraisal framework and subsumed linguistic resources, this study analyzed the discursive construction of crisis response strategies in the corporate apology discourse of leading companies listed in the Fortune Global 2000. The findings revealed an integrated use of crisis response strategies in which attitude appraisal resources predominated, while different types of appraisal resources were deployed in various crisis response strategies to achieve rhetorical persuasion in corporate communication. The proposed framework integrating crisis response strategies in CEO apology discourse with appraisal resources could guide CEOs and crisis communicators to use the right words when composing corporate apologies.

This paper investigates whether migration promotes occupational mobility and whether different types of migrants benefit equally from the migration experience. Results from a lagged regression model of 1970 occupational attainment clearly indicate that recent migrants are substantially more likely to be upwardly occupationally mobile than nonmigrants and, among whites, receive greater returns on educational attainment. Previous migration experiences did not uniformly result in greater mobility among whites, but did among blacks. It is suggested that this racial difference is due to blacks experiencing a substantial increase in opportunities for advancement during the 1965–1970 period.

Arterial blood-gas composition is determined by ventilation, pulmonary blood flow, and by how ventilation is matched to blood flow in the lungs. In healthy adults there are regional differences in both ventilation and blood flow in the lungs and the distribution of blood flow tends to parallel that of ventilation. Ventilation and blood flow can become mismatched in a variety of disease processes that affect the lungs. Mismatching of ventilation and perfusion causes decreased PaO2, may change PaCO2, and increases AaDO2 difference. Many different types of interventions are frequently necessary to treat mismatching of ventilation and perfusion.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.
