Drug use among teenagers has continued to drop since the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large national study says.一项大型全国性研究表明，自 COVID-19 大流行初期以来，青少年吸毒人数持续下降。The federally financed Monitoring the Future study has been carried out yearly since 1975. However, the study only started measuring abstinence – the practice of rejecting alcohol or recreational drug use – in 2017.联邦资助的“监测未来”研究自 1975 年以来每年进行一次。然而，该研究直到 2017 年才开始衡量戒酒情况，即拒绝饮酒或消遣性药物的使用。This year's findings are based on answers from about 24,000 students in grades 8, 10 and 12 in schools across the United States.今年的调查结果基于美国各地学校约 24,000 名 8、10 和 12 年级学生的回答。One major finding: About 66 percent of 12th graders said they had not used alcohol, marijuana, and traditional or electronic cigarettes in the previous 30 days.一项重大发现：约 66% 的 12 年级学生表示，他们在过去 30 天内没有使用酒精、大麻以及传统或电子烟。That share, or proportion, of students is the largest since the yearly study started measuring abstinence.这一比例是自年度研究开始衡量禁欲率以来最大的学生比例。The study is “one of the best, if not the best” source of national data for substance use by teens, said Noah Kreski. Kreski is a Columbia University data analyst who has studied teen drug use.诺亚·克雷斯基 (Noah Kreski) 表示，这项研究是“最好的，即使不是最好的”国家青少年药物使用数据来源。 克雷斯基是哥伦比亚大学的数据分析师，研究青少年吸毒情况。Among 10th graders, 80 percent said they had not used alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes or e-cigarettes recently, another record. Among 8th graders, 90 percent did not use any of them, the same as was reported in the previous study.在十年级学生中，80% 的人表示他们最近没有使用酒精、大麻、香烟或电子烟，这是另一项记录。 在八年级学生中，90% 的学生没有使用任何这些工具，这与之前的研究报告的情况相同。The only major increase found was in the use of nicotine pouches, small, white containers of nicotine which users place in their mouths. About 6 percent of 12th graders said they had used that form of nicotine in the past year, up from about 3 percent in 2023.唯一发现的主要增加是尼古丁袋的使用，这是使用者放入口中的小型白色尼古丁容器。 大约 6% 的 12 年级学生表示，他们在过去一年中使用过这种形式的尼古丁，而 2023 年这一比例约为 3%。Whether that has the makings of a new public health problem is unclear. The University of Michigan's Richard Miech, who leads the study, said: “It's hard to know if we're seeing the start of something, or not.”目前尚不清楚这是否会引发新的公共卫生问题。 领导这项研究的密歇根大学理查德·米奇表示：“很难知道我们是否看到了某些事情的开始。”Early in the pandemic, students across the country were told not to go to schools and to avoid parties or other gatherings. Alcohol and drug use of all kinds dropped likely because use most often happens in friend group settings. Friends often influence each other to use drugs, experts say.在疫情爆发初期，全国各地的学生都被告知不要去学校，并避免参加聚会或其他聚会。 各种酒精和药物的使用可能会下降，因为使用最常发生在朋友群体中。 专家表示，朋友之间经常会影响彼此吸毒。As lockdowns ended, “I think everyone expected at least a partial rebound,” Miech said.随着封锁结束，“我认为每个人都预计至少会有部分反弹，”米奇说。Even before the pandemic, there were decreases in teen cigarette smoking, drinking and the use of several kinds of drugs. Experts suggested that teens were staying home as opposed to spending time in social settings, in which use of illegal substances is more likely.甚至在大流行之前，青少年吸烟、饮酒和使用多种药物的情况就已经减少。 专家建议，青少年呆在家里，而不是花时间在社交场合，因为社交场合更有可能使用非法药物。But marijuana use was not falling before the pandemic. And vaping was increasing. It was only during the pandemic that those activities began to decrease also.但在大流行之前，大麻的使用并没有下降。 电子烟的使用量正在增加。 只是在大流行期间，这些活动也开始减少。Some experts wonder if the pandemic lockdowns had a deeper influence.一些专家想知道大流行的封锁是否产生了更深层次的影响。Miech noted that a lot of teens who experiment with e-cigarettes or drugs start in the 9th grade, sometimes because older children are doing it. But the children who were 9th graders during the lockdowns never picked up the activity. And they never had the opportunity to turn into negative influencers of their younger classmates, he said.米奇指出，许多尝试电子烟或毒品的青少年从九年级开始，有时是因为年龄较大的孩子也在这样做。 但封锁期间九年级的孩子们从未参加过这项活动。 他说，他们从来没有机会成为年轻同学的负面影响者。“The pandemic stopped the cycle of new kids coming in and being recruited to drug use,” Miech said.米奇说：“这场大流行病阻止了新孩子进入并被招募吸毒的循环。”Mental health may also play a part. There were increased reports of depression and anxiety in kids after the pandemic began. Depression is often linked with substance use, but some people with depression and anxiety are very cautious about experimenting with drugs, said Dr. Duncan Clark. Clark is a University of Pittsburgh medical doctor who researches substance use in kids.心理健康也可能发挥一定作用。 大流行开始后，关于儿童抑郁和焦虑的报道有所增加。 邓肯·克拉克博士说，抑郁症通常与药物滥用有关，但一些患有抑郁症和焦虑症的人对尝试药物非常谨慎。 克拉克是匹兹堡大学的一名医生，研究儿童药物滥用问题。“Some teens with anxiety are worried about the effects of substances. They may also be socially inhibited and have less opportunity to use drugs,” Clark said.“一些患有焦虑症的青少年担心药物的影响。 他们也可能受到社交抑制，吸毒的机会较少，”克拉克说。

Data storytelling is a perpetually hot topic in analytics and data science. It's easy to say, and it feels pretty easy to understand, but it's quite difficult to consistently do well. As our guest, Duncan Clark, co-founder and CEO of Flourish and Head of Europe for Canva, described it, there's a difference between "communicating" and "understanding" (or, as Moe put it, there's a difference between "explaining" and "exploring"). Data storytelling is all about the former, and it requires hard work and practice: being crystal clear as to why your audience should care about the information, being able boil the story down to a single sentence (and then expand from there), and crafting a narrative that is much, much more than an accelerated journey through the path the analyst took with the data. Give it a listen and then live happily ever after! For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode and a transcript of the show, visit the show page.

Han är engelskaläraren som blev en av världens rikaste människor, men som gjorde sig ovän med makten i Kina och plockades ner på jorden igen. Den 11 november 2020 slår den kinesiska e-handelsjätten Alibabas årliga shoppinghögtid Singles Day ett svindlande försäljningsrekord. Företagets grundare Jack Ma har blivit synonym med framgång i Kina. Han är en världskändis som trivs i rampljuset, van vid att skaka hand med presidenter och vimla med Hollywoodstjärnor.Men när Alibabas kunder handlar varor för drygt 56 miljarder dollar den där novemberdagen 2020 är Jack Ma mystiskt försvunnen. Snart börjar det spekuleras i vad som egentligen har hänt med den kinesiske miljardären.I P3 ID om Jack Ma skildras historien om hans uppgång och fall. Efter att ha vuxit upp i fattigdom i ett Kina som trasats sönder av kulturrevolutionen blir han plötsligt det osannolika ansiktet utåt för en ny revolution i landet IT-revolutionen i slutet av 90-talet.Hör berättelsen om hur en tanig kille från staden Hangzhou, som fick nej på varje jobb han sökte i sin ungdom, upptäckte internet och därefter tog sig an de amerikanska giganterna Ebay och Amazon och segrade.Jack Ma har själv sagt att den fiktiva filmfiguren Forrest Gump är hans idol, och hans egen livshistoria ska visa sig ha flera likheter med Tom Hanks älskade rollprestation.För likt Gump blir Ma ständigt underskattad av sin omgivning tills han råkar göra sig ovän med fel personer i den kinesiska maktsfären.Medverkar i avsnittet gör Kristina Sandklef, oberoende Kinaanalytiker, Johan Lagerkvist, professor i Kinas språk och kultur vid Stockholms universitet, och Duncan Clark, internetkonsult och vän till Jack Ma.Avsnittet gjordes av Studio Olga vintern 2023.Programledare: Carl-Johan UlvenäsAvsnittsförfattare och reporter: Patrick StaneliusProducent: Carl-Johan UlvenäsLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonLjudklippen i avsnittet är hämtade från: Sveriges Radio, ABC, NBC, Bloomberg, Youtube samt dokumentärfilmen "Crocodile in the Yangtze The Alibaba story".Boken "Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built", av Duncan Clark, har också varit till hjälp under arbetet med det här avsnittet.

Over February and March of this year, early-stage investment by venture capitalists in China declined by as much as 90% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, foreign investors pulled out £23 billion worth of Chinese bonds, representing the largest outflow since the beginning of China's bond market. Such numbers have led some commentators to suggest that China has become 'uninvestable.' Duncan Clark, a vice-chair at the China-Britain Business Council and chairman of BDA China, speaks to Joe Cash on why he does not buy into the idea that China has become off-limits to foreign investors as a result of recent political and Covid-induced turmoil in the country and explains how foreign investors' attitudes towards China have changed over the past 30 years.

Chinese ride-hailing app Didi Global has seen losses deepen after a crackdown by Beijing. The Chinese government ordered online stores not to offer the company's app earlier this year, and Duncan Clark, chairman of the advisory firm BDA China explains the background to Didi's woes. Also in the programme, Argentina is in talks with the International Monetary Fund about its debts. We hear about the implications from Daniel Munevar, who is an economist with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and Amy Booth, who is a journalist based in Buenos Aires. Plus, the BBC's Vivienne Nunis reports on how fashion designer Angel Chang quit her job in the designer fashion houses of New York, to start her own clothing line, employing indigenous craftspeople in the remote mountain villages of Guizhou, China, to grow organic cotton, and sew her collection by hand.

Who do you think the Chinese government considers its biggest rival? The United States, right? Actually, the Chinese government considers its biggest rival to be its own technology companies. It's China's tech companies who threaten its capacity to build a competitive China. That's why the Chinese government is cracking down on social media — for example, by limiting the number of hours youth can play video games, and banning cell phone use in schools. China's restrictions on social media use may be autocratic, but may also protect users more than what we see coming from the US government.It's a complicated picture.This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're having a surprising conversation about technology in China. Here to give us a fresh take are two guests: investor, analyst, and co-host of the Tech Buzz China podcast Rui Ma, and China internet expert and author of Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built, Duncan Clark.

An engrossing insider's account of how a teacher built one of the world's most valuable companies - rivaling Walmart and Amazon - and forever reshaped the global economy. In just a decade and a half, Jack Ma, a man from modest beginnings who started out as an English teacher, founded Alibaba and built it into one of the world's largest companies, an e-commerce empire on which hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers depend. Alibaba's $25 billion IPO in 2014 was the largest global IPO ever. A Rockefeller of his age who is courted by CEOs and presidents around the world, Jack is an icon for China's booming private sector and the gatekeeper to hundreds of millions of middle-class consumers. Duncan Clark first met Jack in 1999 in the small apartment where Jack founded Alibaba. Granted unprecedented access to a wealth of new material including exclusive interviews, Clark draws on his own experience as an early advisor to Alibaba and two decades in China chronicling the Internet's impact on the country to create an authoritative, compelling narrative account of Alibaba's rise. How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80 percent market share? As it forges ahead into finance and entertainment, are there limits to Alibaba's ambitions? How does the Chinese government view its rise? Will Alibaba expand further overseas, including in the US? Clark tells Alibaba's tale in the context of China's momentous economic and social changes, illuminating an unlikely corporate titan as never before.

It has been reported that Beijing wants to break up Alibaba's payments subsidiary Alipay. Duncan Clark is chairman of consultancy BDA China, and author of Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built, and explains the background. Also in the programme, we explore whether corporate social responsibility is actually changing carbon emitting businesses, or just making it look that way. Tariq Fancy used to be investment management firm BlackRock's chief investment officer for sustainable investment, and argues that CSR is not a good enough tool to facilitate a net zero economy. Our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clark asks whether companies hiring workers should take into account candidates' star ratings issued by Uber drivers as part of the recruitment process. Plus, following her stunning victory at the tennis US Open over the weekend, we find out how much money the British star Emma Raducanu might expect to make from her burgeoning career.

Ant Group is the business magnate Jack Ma's fintech subsidiary, the company behind the ubiquitous 'Alipay' app, which has one billion users. Last week, it was due to begin trading on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges. Set to raise US$37 billion, it would have been the biggest IPO ever. But at the eleventh hour, the Chinese government scuppered the plans with crippling new financial reforms. So why won't China allow this homegrown fintech champion to go global? Rumours abound that Ma stepped on the wrong toes. Cindy Yu speaks to Duncan Clark, author of Alibaba: The House that Jack Ma Built, on this episode.

Lumost'un 30. bölümünde ilk olarak küçük bir Amazon, Alibaba karşılaştırması yapıyoruz. Sonra Alibaba’nın yeni perakende, lojistik ve finans tarafındaki stratejisini inceliyoruz. Son olarak da şirketin M&A stratejisi üzerine konuşup bölümü tamamlıyoruz.Bu bölümde özellikle Duncan Clark'ın "Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built" kitabından yararlandım. Serinin genelinde ise Çin Teknoloji Dünyası ya da Çin’in devlet politikası üzerine yazılmış 6 kitaptan yararlandım. Bunlar, Rebecca Fannin’in “Tech Titans of China” ve “Silicon Dragon” isimli kitapları, Edward Tse’nin “China’s Disruptors” isimli kitabı, Kai-Fu Lee’nin “AI Super-Powers” isimli kitabı, Elizabeth Economy’nin “The Third Revolution” isimli kitabı ve son olarak da Amy Webb’in “The Big Nine” isimli kitabı. Yine her zaman olduğu gibi podcast’ler ve bloglar da yol gösterici oldu. “Technode” ve “Tech in Asia” da üretilen değerli içeriklerden yararlandım. “Tech Buzz China”, “Inside China Tech”, “Beyond the Valley”, “996” ve “Acquired” da Çin üzerine çok şey öğrendiğim Podcast’ler oldu. Alibaba'nın yeni perakende stratejisiyle ilgili bu videoyu izleyebilirsiniz.

İlk bakışta, Alibaba, Çin’in Amazon’u ya da veya eBay'i olarak düşünülse de iş modeli olarak önemli farklılıklara sahip. Alibaba’nın her yıl bekarlar gününde kırdığı satış rekorları, ülkelerin yıllık e-ticaret hacminden fazla. Perakendeden lojistiğe, ödeme sistemlerinden bulut bilişime onlarca farklı alanda Dünya’nın en değerli şirketlerinden biri durumunda. Yaptığı 350’den fazla yatırımla, Çin’in startup ekosistemine yön veren iki şirketinden biri.Çin’in kapalı bir toplum olması sebebiyle, Alibaba’nın bu başarıya rekabetten uzak, zorlanmadan ulaştığı gibi bir düşünce var. Lumost'un 29. bölümünde, aslında bunun ne kadar yanlış olduğunu, Jack Ma’nın perspektifinden anlatıyorum. Bu bölümde Jack Ma’nın ilham verici hikayesini, Alibaba’yı nasıl kurduğunu, şirketin ilk yıllarından neler yaşadığını, eBay ile rekabetini konuşuyoruz.Bu bölümde özellikle Duncan Clark'ın "Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built" kitabından yararlandım.

We don't hear much about his wall with Mexico anymore, but Trump seems to be building a digital wall to shut out Chinese tech. WeChat and TikTok are the two victims to his latest ban. On the episode, Cindy Yu talks to Chinese business expert Duncan Clark, author of Alibaba, and Rui Ma, host of the TechBuzz China podcast. They tell Cindy about how WeChat has created a cashless society in China, and why banning it would be more significant than banning TikTok.

In just a decade and half Jack Ma, a man from modest beginnings who started out as an English teacher, founded and built Alibaba into one of the world’s largest companies, an e- commerce empire on which hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers depend. Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014 was the largest global IPO ever. Clark tells Alibaba’s tale in the context of China’s momentous economic and social changes, illuminating an unlikely corporate titan as never before. Links Source: https://www.duncanclark.com/publications BIG IDEA 1 (3:01) – Find mentors who can correct your mistakes. In his early age, Jack wanted to learn English so he can communicate better and understand things that are coming in from outside of China. He would wait outside hotels and offer tours of his hometown – showing great initiative. During the time of his life, he met the Morley family from Australia whom he became very close with. He started to write with them and Ken Morley would send a letter back to him with corrected grammar and spelling to help him improve his English. Jack credits a lot of his success to his English skills, particularly developed them early in his life. Ken Morley had a huge impact on him because he helped him nurture his English. Ken also funded part of Jack’s University fees and his first apartment. Mentors can also be fictional. Jack’s love of the warrior Feng Qingyang from Jing Yong’s books gave him a lot of inspiration. During some of the trials and tribulations of building Alibaba and some of the surrounding companies, he would look back in Jing Yong’s books to find some strengths from the warriors. This helped him carry on and make the right decisions and sometimes correct his paths. BIG IDEA 2 (4:36) – Timing is everything. If you’ve listened to last week’s episode The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, the book says that timing (or luck) can be everything, in particular when you’re born. In Jack Ma’s case, he is one of the first web users in his district and therefore in China. He benefited from a trifecta of events that happened around the same time including the relaxing of China’s entrepreneurial laws, the dawn of the internet and the rise of home computers. This perfect storm was multiplied by his knowledge in English, allowing him to make the most of the opportunity when China opened up to the rest of the world. So it’s a little bit of luck, but knowing what to do with that luck is even more important. This was what happened to Jack. He persevered to learn computers and learn how to connect different places, learn marketing, find customers. He also tried to target people who will be interested in connecting the rest of the world with China. There is no textbook for you to follow when you’re in these kinds of unchartered waters, but perseverance and initiative are a big factor. Jack showed a lot of initiative in working it out as he went. This means also connecting with people at the time when it wasn’t easy. He made visits to the US during this time to see what other people are doing, to help him move his ideas forward. BIG IDEA 3 – (6:36) – Health and happiness. Jack takes employee well-being very seriously. For example during the SARS outbreak, they supported their employees working from home. He is also well-known for rallying the troops for good and towards a purpose. He sends inspirational messages to his staff to bring them together and unite them across the purpose for good that Alibaba is striving towards. Investing and lobbying for better environmental management and health care. Throughout the book you can also see the importance of loyalty and friendships. Many of the people involved in building Alibaba’s website and infrastructure around the Alibaba’s idea are still involved in the management capacity.

If I gave you all a quiz and asked you to name five tech visionaries and entrepreneurs in the US, you’d all pass.  If I asked you to name even one visionary entrepreneur in China, the world's largest market, you’d probably come up empty.  If you didn't, you’d probably name Jack Ma, the founder and leader of Alibaba. The company recently went public in the largest IPO in history. It’s the largest virtual shopping mall in the world and it’s impact not just in China, but in the developing world, is profound and impactful both economically and politically.   Longtime  businessman and journalist Duncan Clark takes us up close and person with Jack Ma in Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built My conversation with Duncan Clark:

In March 2010, Google shut down its China-based search engine, and moved all traffic to its uncensored Hong Kong website, further enflaming the battle of censorship between the world’s largest search engine and the world’s most populous country. New media in China takes a variety of forms, from websites and blogs, to forums and online bulletin boards; this new form of communication has become a vital and popular tool for the average Chinese internet user to distribute and collect information on political, social, religious and business issues. Meanwhile, the Chinese Government is striving to reach a delicate balance on the role of new media—encouraging internet growth to have a more networked economy while exercising controls over people's access to regulated information. Kevin Fong, a special advisor to GSR Ventures, and Duncan Clark, the Chairman of BDA China, will discuss the policies and practices of new media in China. In an increasingly connected world, can China sustain its robust economic growth, while stifling internet freedom at home? And how should business leaders and investors adapt to work in an environment of economic opportunities and state regulations?
