Non-destructive wood species identification in cultural heritage artefacts
Non-destructive wood species identification is a critical requirement in cultural heritage conservation, yet traditional thin-section anatomical methods demand destructive sampling unacceptable for irreplaceable artefacts. This study presents a practical, open-source framework combining multi-angle X-ray micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) with an enhanced YOLOv8 deep learning model for direct adoption by museum and conservation practitioners. C…
Examining the Effectiveness of Multicenter Strategies in Alleviating Urban Traffic Congestion
When the single urban spatial structure cannot meet the current operational efficiency requirements of a city, urban planners devise multicenter strategies to achieve the desired goals. Megacities in China and abroad have implemented multicenter strategies to alleviate traffic congestion and the urban heat island effect brought about by urban expansion. However, in particular, the implementation of the multicenter strategy in some cities has led …
A stacked ensemble model with NNLS-based weighting for influenza forecasting
Background Influenza poses a significant global public health threat, with its pandemic potential and seasonal variability presenting formidable challenges to prediction accuracy. This study leverages high-quality weekly data (incidence rates, viral subtypes, and meteorological indicators) from the provincial influenza surveillance system in Anhui Province, eastern China, spanning 2015–2025. A multi-source data fusion model was developed to overc…

Effects of Crop Rotation With Oat on Soil Microbial Communities, Chemical Properties, and Oat Yield in Southwest China
Oats ( Avena sativa L ) had become an important crop in southwest China due to their high nutritional value and excellent adaptability to the challenging climate. Continuous oat cropping can lead to reduced oat yield and soil degradation; meanwhile, crop rotation has been proven to be an effective way to alleviate the obstacles of continuous cropping. However, the effects of different crop‐oat rotation patterns on oat yield, soil chemical propert…
The power of ‘big brothers’
Various perspectives have been proposed to explain regime change under authoritarianism, yet the role of autocrats— ‘the elephant in the room’— remains largely unexamined in large- N studies. This study addresses this gap by employing the Randomization Inference method that reshuffles historical leadership sequences as counterfactuals. Analyzing data from 150 countries between 1946 and 2020, we find strong evidence that autocrats contribute subst…
Working time variation, work autonomy, and self-reported Health during the Covid-19 pandemic in China
With the rise of flexible work arrangements and digital technologies, working time variation has become increasingly prevalent in the labor market. However, its health implications remain debated: some suggest that working time variation enhances flexibility and promotes well-being, while others argue it leads to increased precarity and adverse health outcomes. Utilizing data from a nationally representative survey in China during the COVID-19 pa…
Unraveling the dyadic dynamics
Despite ample research on the association between the availability of flexible working arrangements (FWAs) and satisfaction from an individual perspective, little has explored the dyadic correlation between the availability of FWAs and satisfaction with work-life flexibility (WLF) from a couple-level perspective among working parents. Drawing on a linked lives perspective and the work-family border theory, this study contributes to the literature…
The polycentricity of urban population will lead to improvements in urban heat island effect
Currently, major cities globally are universally and actively implementing strategies for the polycentric development of urban spatial structures. However, the impacts of this strategy on the ecological environment and residents' lives require further assessment. The urban spatial structure is believed to influence the urban heat island effect, but the specific mechanisms of this influence remain unclear. Exploring this topic can provide guidance…
Synchrony of gross primary productivity resistance and resilience in rapid response to spring excessive precipitation across northern China’s dryland ecosystems
Spring precipitation directly impacts the growth and development of vegetation in dryland ecosystems, which in turn affects the biomass of the growing season and fundamentally maintains the ecosystem stability. However, the effects of recently frequent variabilities in spring precipitation on ecosystem productivity are still unclear. Here, we investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of precipitation and gross primary productivity (GPP) in the spri…

This paper focuses on the evolutionary mechanism of social emotions, such as panic, anxiety, and depression, during the COVID-19 pandemic by using big data from the internet, including Twitter and GDELT, and by incorporating factors related to risk communication and risk response in risk governance. The main negative emotions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic include panic, anxiety, and depression. These negative emotions primarily erupted…
Type 2 diabetes, glycaemic traits and upper gastrointestinal cancer risk
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been linked with site-specific upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers during the past decades, but associations are still inconclusive. This study aimed to determine the association between T2D, glycaemic traits (random blood glucose and HbA1c) and UGI cancer (oesophageal and gastric cancer). METHODS: In the present study, based on the large-scale prospective cohort of UK Biobank, we included 452 631 eligible p…
Randomized Experiments to Reduce Overuse of Health Care
OBJECTIVE: Health care overuse is pervasive in countries with advanced health care delivery systems. We hypothesize that effective interventions to reduce low-value care that targets patients or clinicians are mediated by psychological and cognitive processes that change behaviors and that interventions targeting these processes are varied. Thus, we performed a scoping review of experimental studies of interventions, including the interventions' …

Contribution of vegetation restoration to carbon sequestration driven by ex‐situ poverty alleviation and relocation in ecologically fragile areas—Taking Guizhou, China, as a case
Vegetation restoration in ecologically fragile areas has a significant carbon sequestration (CS) effect. However, it is usually difficult to achieve quantitative assessment at the regional scale for this part of human activity intervention. The Chinese government's ex‐situ poverty alleviation and relocation (EPAR) project has relocated approximately 10 million people from areas with a fragile ecological environment to urban centralized resettleme…
A high body mass index strengthens the association between the time of eye rubbing and keratoconus in a Chinese population
These findings suggested that a high BMI aggravated the negative effect of eye rubbing on KC, implying that individuals with a high BMI may be more susceptible to exposure to eye rubbing, which is related to an increased risk of KC
Evaluation of a community intervention program on knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Anhui Province, China
Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a novel infectious disease with no specific therapeutics and vaccines. We hypothesize that health education in vulnerable people would ameliorate their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding SFTS and reduce its prevalence. Methods A four-stage cluster cross-section study in sixteen community units was performed. Sixteen groups were allocated to the intervention or contro…
Exploring the Longitudinal Relationship Between Lockdown Policy Stringency and Public Negative Emotions Among 120 Countries During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The findings confirm that stringent lockdown policies have a negative effect on public emotions via confining population mobility residential areas. To tackle the COVID-19, future public health policies should pay more attention to the unintended negative consequences of lockdown measures on public emotions
Stigma toward Wuhan people during the Covid-19 epidemic
This study found that stigma toward Wuhan people included diverse attitudes and changed at different periods. After government interventions but before they took effect, stigma with the 'Infectious' attitude increased. After government interventions took effect, general stigma and stigmas with 'Infectious' and 'Stupid' attitudes decreased. This study constituted an important endeavor to understand the stigma toward Wuhan people in China during th…
Creating When You Have Less
This research examines how a general sense of resource availability influences consumers’ product use creativity. The authors propose and demonstrate that the salience of resource scarcity versus abundance enhances the novelty of product use solutions in independent consumption environments. An investigation of the underlying process finds that scarcity salience activates a constraint mindset that persists and manifests itself through reduced fun…
Hedonic Contrast Effects Are Larger When Comparisons Are Social
A hedonic contrast effect occurs when comparing a stimulus to its alternatives makes it better or worse. We find that counterfactual comparisons induce larger hedonic contrast effects when they are also social comparisons. Hedonic contrast effects influence happiness with a food or wage more when another person receives its counterfactual alternative than when no person receives its counterfactual alternative. Social attention, the propensity to …

The Mere Deadline Effect
Contrary to the common belief that having more time facilitates goal pursuit by allowing for more flexibility and fewer restrictions, the current work argues that long deadlines may produce unintended detrimental consequences on goal pursuit. In particular, this research identifies a mere deadline effect, showing that longer versus shorter deadlines, once imposed, lead consumers to infer that the focal goal is more difficult, even when the deadli…

Breast-feeding and postpartum weight retention
Objective Weight gained during pregnancy and postpartum weight retention might contribute to obesity in women of childbearing age. Whether breast-feeding (BF) may decrease postpartum weight retention (PPWR) is still controversial. The purpose of our systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the relationship between BF and PPWR. Design Three databases were systematically reviewed and the reference lists of relevant articles were check…

Effect of pumping pressure on onset of lactation after caesarean section
Caesarean section is associated with weaker newborn suction pressure. This nonblinded, randomized trial explored the effect of suction pressures generating by a breast pump on mothers' onset of lactation and milk supply after caesarean section. A high pressure group (-150 mmHg), a low pressure group (-100 mmHg), and a control group (none) were generated under computer random assignment with concealed allocation in 2 tertiary hospitals. The breast…
The Mere Urgency Effect
In everyday life, people are often faced with choices between tasks of varying levels of urgency and importance. How do people choose? Normatively speaking, people may choose to perform urgent tasks with short completion windows, instead of important tasks with larger outcomes, because important tasks are more difficult and further away from goal completion, urgent tasks involve more immediate and certain payoffs, or people want to finish the urg…

Exploring the Mechanisms of Influence on Covid-19 Preventive Behaviors in China’s Social Media Users
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) posed a powerful threat to human life. The preventive behaviors of individuals (e.g., home quarantine, disinfection, and wearing masks) play a key role in preserving and controlling the disease. In this case, as a motivational psychological system oriented toward avoiding infection, the behavioral immune system (BIS) may be activated and link to preventive behaviors. This study investigated the …
How fear and collectivism influence public’s preventive intention towards Covid-19 infection
The promotion of fear on people's preventive intention may be limited and conditional, and values of collectivism can well compensate for the promotion of fear on preventive intention. These results provide scientific inspiration on how to enhance the public's preventive intention towards COVID-19 effectively
