Association of composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) with all-cause mortality in adults with abdominal obesity
Introduction Abdominal obesity significantly increases the risk of all-cause mortality, and the oxidative stress mediated by visceral fat is considered a key driving mechanism. Currently, epidemiological studies on the comprehensive dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and mortality outcomes mainly target ordinary adults, diabetic patients, or hypertensive patients. To date, there are few specialized studies on this association in adults with abdomin…
Moderating role of mental imagery in the relationship between depressive tendency and the filtering efficiency of task-irrelevant emotional stimuli
摘要: 抑郁倾向个体对负性信息存在工作记忆偏向, 过滤任务无关信息进入工作记忆的能力(过滤效能)下降会影响当前信息加工。本研究探讨心理想象在抑郁倾向与任务无关情绪信息过滤效能之间的调节作用。研究1采用具有过滤功能的工作记忆任务, 考察抑郁、情绪信息过滤效能与心理想象生动性的关系。研究2和研究3在工作记忆任务前要求被试想象不同情绪效价的面孔, 考察积极与消极心理想象对负性情绪信息过滤效能的影响。结果显示, 抑郁得分与负性情绪信息过滤效能、心理想象生动性呈负相关; 抑郁倾向个体进行积极心理想象后负性情绪信息过滤效能高于中性心理想象, 而健康个体无差异; 健康个体进行消极心理想象后负性情绪信息过滤效能低于中性心理想象, 而抑郁倾向个体无差异。这表明, 心理想象调节抑郁与任务无关负性情绪信息过滤效能间的关系, 积极心理想象可以引导抑郁倾向个体忽略任务无关负性情绪信息, 从而改进其过滤效能, 这为抑郁的早期干预提供新视角。

Articulatory adaptations to the effect of nasality on vowel formants in Xinfeng Tieshikou Hakka
Articulatory compensation for mismatches between expected and perceived formants appears to be a fundamental component of speech production. We pursue the hypothesis that this component of speech production accounts for observed differences in articulation between oral and nasal vowel pairs in natural language production. The empirical focus is Xinfeng Tieshikou Hakka (XTH). We report acoustic analyses of three oral-nasal vowel pairs, [i]-[ĩ], [e…

Study protocol for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating coarse-cereal intake intervention for obesity prevention among primary school students in suburban Beijing, China
Background: The rising prevalence of childhood obesity poses a significant public health challenge in China, with rates among primary school students increasing from 6.8% in 2002 to 19% in 2020. Concurrently, coarse-cereal intake-a source of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds with potential protective effects against obesity-has declined markedly. School-based interventions represent a feasible strategy to address this issue. This protocol des…
Climate change adaptation and digitalization
In this viewpoint, drawing on a critical lens in both climate change adaptation and digital agriculture studies, we scrutinize how adaptation, digitalization, innovation and participation are discursively represented, understood and imagined in existing peer-reviewed literature as enabling equal and just agricultural transformations. Reviewing digital-agriculture-adaptation literature between 2010 and 2023, we find that most studies are ambiguous…

Elevation‐Driven Contrasting Mechanisms of Carbon‐Degrading Enzyme Activities Between Topsoil and Subsoil in Hengduan Mountain Forests
The balance between oxidative and hydrolytic extracellular enzyme activities (Ox‐EEAs and Hy‐EEAs, respectively) serves as a key indicator of microbial substrate preferences, offering insights into the decomposition dynamics of diverse soil organic carbon (C) pools within forest ecosystems. Despite its significance, spatial patterns and environmental determinants of the ratio of Ox‐EEAs to Hy‐EEAs (Ox‐to‐Hy EEA ratio)—particularly across elevatio…
Balancing Maize Yield, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Soil Functions Through Nitrogen Fertilizer Reduction and Microbial Network Regulation
Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization accelerates agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and leads to soil degradation, yet the potential of reduced N inputs to balance crop yield, GHG emissions, and soil multifunctionality—and the underlying mechanisms—remains unclear. Through a 2‐year field experiment, we found that a 25% reduction in N fertilizer (R25) reshaped the soil microbial co‐occurrence network, resulting in a topology with higher c…

Re-visiting the 'black box' of migration
It is now widely held that a variety of intermediary actors, including recruitment and staffing agencies, multinational corporations and local brokers, shape labour migration. This paper argues that in order to better understand the global circulation of labour it is necessary to explore the involvement of these actors in the production of the regulatory spaces through which migrant labour is brokered. Indeed, migration intermediaries do not only…

Channelling through bureaucracy
The role of migration mediation in the global circulation of labour has been receiving increasing attention. Channel is a frequently used, but under-theorised, concept in such studies. Drawing on mobilities perspectives, especially migration infrastructure and three aspects of mobility (route, speed and friction), this paper fosters a framework – channelling through bureaucracy. It seeks to go beyond seeing channels as structure and mechanism to …
Mapping global variation in human mobility
The geographic variation of human movement is largely unknown, mainly due to a lack of accurate and scalable data. Here we describe global human mobility patterns, aggregated from over 300 million smartphone users. The data cover nearly all countries and 65% of Earth's populated surface, including cross-border movements and international migration. This scale and coverage enable us to develop a globally comprehensive human movement typology. We q…
The intersection of diet, class, and sex during the Eastern Zhou (770-221 BCE)
The Eastern Zhou (770-221 BCE) was an important period of social transformation in ancient China. The development of class- and gender-based stratification of this period had profound effects on human diet. We aim to examine the relationships among diet, class, and sex (as a proxy for gender) during this period through comparative investigations of noble individuals and sacrificial human companions. We analyzed the stable carbon and nitrogen isot…
Contextualizing the rural in digital studies
Digital technologies are changing how and where we live, work and socialize. Rural areas are distinctive spaces and places but in the current debates of new digital phenomena, digital spaces and practices risk not being contextualized with sensitivities to rural geographies. This study aims to map how digital has been examined to date in rural-focused studies, and accordingly present propositions for how rural-digital studies can be sensitive to …
The Changing Profile of Tenure-Track Faculty in Archaeology
The goal for many PhD students in archaeology is tenure-track employment. Students primarily receive their training by tenure-track or tenured professors, and they are often tacitly expected—or explicitly encouraged—to follow in the footsteps of their advisor. However, the career trajectories that current and recent PhD students follow may hold little resemblance to the ones experienced by their advisors. To understand these different paths and t…
Covid-19 and sonic governmentality
A virus is not only invisible; it is also inaudible. Alongside attempts to visualize COVID-19, this article inserts a sonic perspective to listen to encounters between authorities and populations during the pandemic in China. The article examines how sound (mal)functions to mediate, interpellate, and distribute authority and power in the name of national health and safety. We will concentrate on the use of sirens and loudspeakers. First, at 10 a.…

The boundaries of beauty in Pre-Qin Confucian aesthetics
“Beauty” is a very important concept in Pre-Qin Confucian aesthetics. Pre-Qin Confucian aesthetics generally had two viewpoints when defining beauty: Negatively, by stressing that “beauty” in the aesthetic sense was not “good”; and positively, by stressing two factors: one, that beauty was related to “feeling” which was not an animal instinct, the other was that “beauty” was a special texture with a particular meaning. “Beauty” in Pre-Qin Confuci…

A longitudinal cohort based association study between uric acid level and metabolic syndrome in Chinese Han urban male population
Serum UA level may serve as an important risk factor of MetS. Additionally, our study suggested that UA level be an independent risk factor to obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia, but a protective factor to hyperglycemia. These findings are concordant with results from other studies on Asian populations, and jointly provide a basis to further develop a risk assessment model for predicting MetS using UA levels and other factors in China
Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among children from six cities of China
The early onset of MetS among children and relatively high proportions of children with at least one or two metabolic abnormalities in cities of China can increase the risk of developing MetS. It implies the necessity to take effective actions to control and prevent the rapid development of obesity among children in developing countries, especial those undergoing transition to a Western lifestyle
The Dilemma of Conserving Rangeland by Means of Development
In the last decade environmental policies, particularly ecological resettlement, have changed China's pastoral areas. This paper explores the difficulty in conserving rangeland through ecological resettlement. The paper focuses on how ecological resettlement policy has been translated into practice, and how the affected people responded with migration decisions. Empirical findings in a pastoral township in Inner Mongolia demonstrate that local po…
Climate Variability, Change of Land Use and Vulnerability in Pastoral Society
Climate variability is a primary characteristic of arid and semi-arid areas where drought occurs frequently. As a disaster, drought is the result of both low precipitation and social factors. If the institutions governing grassland use fail to deal with drought, grassland degradation and herder poverty will result. Based on a case study conducted in Hexigten Banner of eastern Inner Mongolia, we found that drought impacts caused by climate variabi…
