Influence of mobile education on joint function and quality of life in patients after total hip arthroplasty

Objective：To explore the influence of applying educational animated film as continuous post-discharge rehabilitation guidance for patients after total hip arthroplasty（THA）.Methods：Sixty patients discharged after THA were randomly divided into two groups.Traditional methods,such as distributing manuals of rehabilitation guidance on THA and phone call follow-ups,were adopted in the control group,whereas educational animated film was used as continuous rehabilitation guidance after discharge in the experimental group.Differences in recovery of hip joint function,accuracy of functional exercise,mastery of rehabilitation knowledge and quality of life between the two groups were compared.Results：The experimental group had superior performance on all indicators compared to the control group（P〈0.05）.Conclusions：The use of educational animated film as continuous post-discharge rehabilitation guidance in patients after THA achieved better effects than traditional education methods.

Human Capital of Family and Social Mobility in Rural Areas-Evidence from China

This research focuses on the impact of family＇s human capital on social mobility in China＇s rural community.Empirical research is conducted based on data from surveying a typical rural community in the past 20 yr.The study indicates that social mobility in rural area is active in the past 20 yr,and the human capital of family,represented by primary labor＇s education level,has played an essential role in mobility of low social class.Meanwhile,socio-economic development and the change of supply and demand in labor market dims the signaling role of degree education,but the impact of occupational training is increasingly remarkable.Therefore,the change from sole degree education to multi-leveled education including occupational education and training is a main way for China＇s rural families in low class to realize social mobility.

Expansion and Intergenerational Mobility of Education

Using data from the 2013 Chinese Household Income Project(CHIP2013),we analyze intergenerational educationa1 mobility and the distribution of benefits among different groups in the course of educational expansion.Overall,educational expansion has raised educational mobility,reduced the possibility of downward intergenerational educational mobility,and increased the possibility of upward intergenerational mobility.However,the degree to which different types of households have benefited from the expansion of education is closely related to the urban-rural gap and the level of parenta1 education.The expansion of basic education has been more advantageous to the children of less-educated parents,whereas the expansion of higher education has mainly benefited the children of households with higher levels of parental education and to urban children.If,therefore,China is to promote the balanced development of educational modernization and build a nation that is an educational power,it needs to make active adjustments at the policy leve1.

Tuition Fees for Higher Education and Intergenerational Mobility in China

This paper studies the impact of an increase in higher education tuition on intergenerational mobility in China.We develop a theoretical model for the parental decision about the investment on education of children to illustrate the impact from the perspective of borrowing constraint.We consider the Chinese college tuition and subsidy reform around 1986 as a quasi-natural experiment for identifying the policy effect of the reform on intergenerational educational mobility by using the data from the census of 2000 and the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS).We find that an increase in the education burden induced by the reform of college tuition has reduced intergenerational educational mobility,and it is more noticeable in regions with a relatively higher increment in the tuition fee.Our results are robust with consideration of the co-residence bias,government investment in elementary education,and the higher education expansion.
