Lung involvement percentage in patients with Covid-19 during the Omicron wave in China
Background Following the lifting of China’s stringent lockdown policy on December 7, 2022, COVID-19 cases surged in a pattern, creating unprecedented strain on healthcare systems. The Omicron variant, characterized by high transmissibility and rapid spread, led to a sharp rise in infections. Understanding its clinical impact—particularly on lung involvement percentage—is crucial for optimizing patient care under such outbreak conditions. This stu…

Case Report
The initial appearance of psychiatric symptoms requires vigilance for an underlying organic cause. Emotional agitation can cause insufficient cerebral perfusion in stenotic vessels, and hypoperfusion of the left temporal lobe may present as hallucinations or delusions. PWI and similar methods can help to differentiate organic brain disease from primary psychiatric disorders, and early restoration of cerebral blood flow often correlates with a goo…

Are Bad Leaders Indeed Bad for Employees? A Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies Between Destructive Leadership and Employee Outcomes
Does having bad leaders have long-lasting adverse effects on employees? While previous studies have primarily viewed subordinate deviant behavior as a crucial consequence of destructive leadership, aggression theory suggests that subordinate deviant behavior could also be an antecedent of destructive leadership. To address this question, we conducted a meta-analysis by focusing on longitudinal field studies (i.e., time-lagged and panel designs), …

Media Use and Affective Political Polarization
This study explores the connections between partisan news exposure, affective political polarization, perceived threats from migrants, and immigrant deservingness. Data from a 2018 U.S. national survey indicate that exposure to immigration news on Fox News is associated with higher levels of polarization among Republicans and Democrats, while exposure to such content on CNN is not. Additionally, greater polarization correlates with Republicans pe…
Sexual misconduct in politics
Guided by social identity theory, this study sought to understand how ingroup biases relating to political identity moderates the relationship between individuals’ judgments of a politician’s credibility and their perceived partisan ambivalence when they are exposed to news coverage about a politician who addresses their sexual misconduct allegations. A total of 198 participants were randomly assigned in a 2 by 2 between-subjects posttest-only fa…
Covid-19 and xenophobia in America
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, there has been a significant uptick in anti-Asian sentiment in the United States. Many believe these racist attitudes are cultivated by polarizing political messages and news coverage of the pandemic. Based on a 2021 online survey conducted among 913 White Americans, this study examines possible associations between exposure to pandemic-related news, anti-Asian stigmatization, and the percei…
Long-lasting impact of winter North Atlantic Oscillation on Barents-Kara sea ice anomaly in recent decades
In this paper, the long-lasting impact of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on Arctic sea ice is investigated using reanalysis data, with focus on the Barents–Kara (BK) sea where the air-sea-ice response is closely associated with the interdecadal shift in the northern action center of the NAO. A significant negative correlation between the winter NAO and the late autumn BK sea ice has been dominant since the early 2000s, which is in sh…
Waste-Based Ceramsite for the Efficient Removal of Ciprofloxacin in Aqueous Solutions
Ciprofloxacin (CIP), a compound with bioaccumulation toxicity and antibiotic resistance, is frequently detected in water at alarming concentrations, which is becoming an increasing concern. In this study, a low-cost ceramsite was developed from industrial solid wastes through sintering to remove CIP from wastewater. The effects of adsorbent dosage, initial pH, contact time, initial CIP concentration, and temperature were explored. More than 99% o…
Examining the Intermedia Agenda Setting Effects amid the Changsheng Vaccine Crisis
Scholars have long questioned whether the traditional media effects approach can still be applied in the current digital media era, especially in the non-Western, state-regulated Chinese media environment. This study examines the intermedia agenda setting of traditional media sources and we-media sources in the WeChat Official Accounts through a computational look at the Changsheng Bio-technology vaccine (CBV) crisis. Utilizing LDA topic modeling…

The Way to the White Tiger Hall Conference
The White Tiger Hall conference, held in the fourth year (79 c.e. ) of the Jianchu 建初 reign in the Eastern Han, was a significant event in both politics and classical learning during and after that time. As the summary of the conference, composed after its conclusion, the Baihu tong 白虎通 is the main resource for investigating the details of this conference. Clarifying the formation process of the Baihu tong is helpful to elicit information regardi…
Changing ocean seasonal cycle escalates destructive marine heatwaves in a warming climate
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause various adverse effects on marine ecosystems associated with complicated social ramifications. It has been well established that the gradually rising sea surface temperature (SST) due to anthropogenic carbon emission will cause an increase of the MHW duration and intensity. However, for species with strong adaptation capacity or mobility, MHW changes due to the altered SST variability under greenhouse warming are…
Media Use and National Image
Grounded in the international image theory ( Herrmann and Fischerkeller, 1995 ), this study argues that individuals maintain general images of foreign nations that shape perceptions of foreign policy issues. Based on two identical national online surveys conducted in the United States ( N = 1250) and China ( N = 1311) in early 2019, the study explores the structure and composition of these national images among American and Chinese citizens and t…
Speech After Long Silence—An Appraisee-Based Comprehensive Analysis With Retrospective and Future Perspectives on Current ID Policy of Transpersons in China
As the sexual minority in China, transpersons remain faced with various realistic challenges. In recent years, however, there has been a significant progress made in the protection given to the rights that transpersons deserve. Currently, the citizens who have changed their gender through sex reassignment surgery can make applications to the local police station for changing their gender registration and get issued a new ID card. This is regarded…

Recent tobacco tax rate adjustment and its potential impact on tobacco control in China
The primary motivation for the recent Chinese government tobacco tax adjustment is to raise additional government revenue. Because the additional ad valorem tax has not yet been transferred to smokers, there is no public health benefit. It is hoped that the Chinese government will pass along these taxes to the retail price level, which would result in between 640,000 and two million smokers quitting smoking and between 210,000 and 700,000 quitter…
The role of taxation in tobacco control and its potential economic impact in China
The empirical economic analysis and tax simulation results clearly indicate that increasing the tobacco tax in China is the most cost-effective instrument for tobacco control

Genetic Variations in the Promoter of the APE1 Gene Are Associated with DMF-Induced Abnormal Liver Function
Acute or long-term exposure to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) can induce abnormal liver function. It is well known that DMF is mainly metabolized in the liver and thereby produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). The base excision repair (BER) pathway is regarded as a very important pathway involved in repairing ROS-induced DNA damage. Several studies have explored the associations between GSTM1, GSTT1, CYP2E1 polymorphisms and DMF-induced abnormal li…

Levels of NP and BPA in the Pearl River Estuary, China
Sediment cores were collected from four outlets in the Pearl River Estuary (Guangdong Province, China) and dated using the 210 Pb method to investigate the pollution history of the area due to its relatively stable sedimentation status and hydrographic conditions in recent decades. The ages of the sediment cores were dated over 40 years (1968-2015). The concentrations at the four outlets ranged from 2.21 to 48.52 ng g -1 dw for nonylphenol and we…
