Mining conflict and rent-seeking in China: A mixed method analysis of cases of illegality (2021)
Journal Article
Ho, P., & Zhao, H. (2022). Mining conflict and rent-seeking in China: A mixed method analysis of cases of illegality. Extractive Industries and Society, 9, Article 101031. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exis.2021.101031

Research on mining conflict frequently approaches the subject either through in-depth case-studies or numerical analyses of the frequency of disputes. Yet, a more comprehensive understanding of mining conflict could be achieved through mixed methods,...

Land titling as a conflict remedy or driver? Analyzing institutional outcomes through latent and manifest conflicts in China’s forest sector (2020)
Journal Article
Krul, K., Ho, P., & Yang, X. (2021). Land titling as a conflict remedy or driver? Analyzing institutional outcomes through latent and manifest conflicts in China’s forest sector. Land Use Policy, 100, 104880. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2020.104880

Land titling programs are introduced to create a stable and secure institutional environment that effectively resolves land conflicts. However, the process of land registration may also exacerbate latent conflicts or trigger new contestation, causing... Read More about Land titling as a conflict remedy or driver?

Journal Article
Wu, Y., Yu, J., Song, H., Lu, D., Li, Z., Li, X., Ding, Z., Zhou, L., Ma, J., Zhang, Y., & Li, Y. (2025). Profiling of RNA N6-Methyladenosine methylation reveals the critical role of m6A in betaine alleviating hepatic steatosis. Scientific Reports, 15, Article 7298. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-91573-0

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a major predisposing factor of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Abnormal RNA m6A modification leads to the disturbance... Read More about Profiling of RNA N6-Methyladenosine methylation reveals the critical role of m6A in betaine alleviating hepatic steatosis.
