本稿では，中国の浙江省の消費者を対象に実施したアンケート調査をもとに，新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大が中国の消費者の消費行動に与えた影響を探るために，OLS回帰分析を用いて定量分析を行った。分析結果から，新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大は中国における消費者の収入や仕事の安定さに一定の影響を与えていることがわかった。多くの回答者は将来の経済発展に対し強い確信を持っていることも確認された。また，新型コロナウイルス感染症の影響が強ければ強いほど節約的消費傾向が強まり，将来に確信を持つほど積極的消費傾向が強まることがわかった。

The thermal runaway (TR) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) hinders the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) because its extrusion-state characteristics remain unclear. Here, 100% state of charge (SOC) pouch LIBs are heated under extrusion, for triggering TR. The battery temperature, voltage, and deformation during the TR are recorded, and a high-speed infrared camera is used along with a high-definition camera for capturing the TR's flame evolution process. The battery thickness gradually decreases with increasing the temperature of a squeezed-state battery, until dropping abruptly at the TR onset. In the squeezed state, smoke is produced for a shorter time, the TR jet intensity significantly increases, and the wreckage exhibits a tight block structure. The TR onset occurs faster for higher squeezing pressures, the jet fire duration is shorter, while the flame temperature and area increase. The maximal temperature of the battery surface increases first and then drops, and the mechanism of the TR gradually changes from heating to internal circuit shorting. For squeezing pressures under 5000 N, the TR onset temperature increases slightly compare with the non-squeezed state, and then decreases to approximately 100 °C as the pressure approaches 5000 N.
