Incorporation of Green Manure Reduces Tobacco Root Rot Incidence via Modulation of Rhizosphere Microbial Communities
Incorporating green manure into tobacco production systems significantly boosts soil fertility and suppresses soil‐borne fungal diseases. However, the comparative effectiveness of different green manures against tobacco root rot and their associated microbial regulatory mechanisms is not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the disease‐suppressive capabilities of two green manures—smooth vetch ( Vicia villosa ) and rape ( Brassica campes…

Application of the age-period-cohort model in tuberculosis
Up to now, tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health problem, posing a serious threat to human health. Traditional methods for analyzing time-varying trends, such as age and period, tend to ignore the poor impact of birth cohorts, which is an important factor in the development of TB. The age-period-cohort (APC) model, a statistical method widely used in recent decades in economics, sociology, and epidemiology, can quantitatively estimate …

Disentangling the Local Coupling and Telecoupling of Urbanization and Ecosystem Services to Reveal Archetypical Social–Ecological Interactions in Urban Agglomerations
Investigating the spatial coupling between urbanization and ecosystem services (ESs) enhances the understanding of social–ecological interactions while addressing sustainability challenges in urban agglomerations. While most studies have focused on local coupling between urbanization and ESs, fewer have examined their telecoupling, considering the increasing interactions of distant systems. In this study, we developed a methodological framework t…
Age-period-cohort study of active pulmonary tuberculosis in eastern China
Notification rates of PTB declined consistently across various age groups in Zhejiang Province. Young individuals aged 15-29 and older individuals aged 65-74 were identified as high-risk groups requiring active intervention. Additionally, pre-1978 birth cohorts had a relatively higher risk of PTB. These findings provided valuable insights into the age, period, and birth cohort characteristics of patients with PTB in Zhejiang Province, aiding rele…
Beyond additive effects
To reduce biases in air pollution control policies and maximize their health benefits, it is essential to assess both the additive and interactive effects when evaluating the health impacts of air pollutant mixtures. Furthermore, the influence of greenness should be considered in the context of these air pollutant mixtures

Are Guilt-Prone Power-Holders Less Corrupt? Evidence From Two Online Experiments
Bribery is ubiquitous in human society. Yet it remains unknown how bribe-taking behaviors of power-holders and underlying psychological processes are affected by guilt-proneness, a crucial moral-related personality trait, and how this trait–behavior association depends on harm salience brought by bribery. To address these questions, we conducted two online experiments ( N total = 2, 082) combining economic games with personality measures. Experim…
A new Southwest Vortex objective identification algorithm based on precipitation perspective
This study developed an objective identification algorithm for the Southwest Vortex (SWV), the dominant rainstorm system prevalent in Southwest China. Based on the TempestExt package, the newly developed SWV identification algorithm employed a 12 h minimum duration threshold, utilizing the high-resolution ERA5 dataset with 1 h intervals. The results reveal that the algorithm precisely identifies the SWV records documented in the SWV Yearbooks, ac…

Fisher's exact test or Pearson chi-square test (χ 2 ) was used to compare the baseline characteristics among TB with di…
Explaining Individual Differences in Advantageous Inequity Aversion by Social-Affective Trait Dimensions and Family Environment
Humans are averse to both having less (i.e., disadvantageous inequity aversion [IA]) and having more than others (i.e., advantageous IA). However, the social-affective traits that drive individual differences in IA are not well understood. Here, by combining a modified dictator game and a computational model, we found in a sample of incarcerated adolescents ( N = 67) that callous-unemotional traits were specifically associated with low advantageo…
Actor-Network Theory
Actor-network theory, which emerged from science and technology studies in the 1980s, regards everything in the social and ecological systems as a continuous result of the network of relations where they are located. Social-ecological resilience, with its origins in systems ecology, focuses on the non-linear changing dynamics of social-ecological systems and their governance. Among them, social-ecological resilience study integrates different dis…
