Age-dependent health risks of smoking
Background: Smoking during the alveolar developmental stage (ADS) (≤24 years) may increase cardiopulmonary disease risk beyond the effects of cumulative exposure, but these interactions remain unclear. We aimed to determine whether smoking initiation during ADS modifies the associations between cumulative smoking exposure and cardiopulmonary disease, multimorbidity, and all-cause mortality. Methods: We analysed 15,077 participants from the US Nat…
Inherited time and the uneven paths of educational mobility
This review examines The Time Inheritors: How Time Inequalities Shape Higher Education Mobility in China by Cora Lingling Xu, a book that offers a conceptually rich and empirically grounded analysis of time as a structuring force in educational inequality. Drawing on nearly a decade of longitudinal and multi-sited fieldwork, Xu develops the concept of ‘time inheritance’ to theorize how temporal privilege or deprivation is transmitted across gener…

Resilience assessment and optimization of mountainous county settlements based on society-space network
Under the influence of rapidly changing traffic conditions, the spatial structure of mountainous county settlements is often difficult to adapt to the evolution of social relations, which leads to issues such as disorganized spatial organization, imbalanced resource allocation, and mismatches between public service supply and demand. To this end, it is urgent to develop a resilient development model through the coordinated regulation of society–s…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Subjective Well‐Being in Adolescents
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been found to impair well-being, but the underlying mechanisms through which ACEs influence subjective well-being remain unclear. A survey was conducted among 1246 adolescents from a high school in China. Drawing upon the risky families model and the Self-Determination Theory, we established a moderated mediation framework, which was devised to explore the mediating role of basic psychological needs satis…

Artificial Grassland Revegetation Improves Soil Water Retention and Storage Capacity of the Degraded Hillside Alpine Meadow
The crucial role of soil water retention and storage in soil hydrology and the water cycle is well established. However, in sensitive and degraded ecosystems like alpine meadows, the effectiveness of revegetation in enhancing these critical functions remains understudied. This study investigates the effects of revegetating severely degraded hillside meadows with artificial grasslands on soil water retention and storage capacity in the Qinghai‐Tib…
Solid‐State Fermentation and Biocontrol Effects of Mycorrhiza Helper Streptomyces Agents on Pepper Phytophthora Blight
The liquid agents of two mycorrhiza helper (MH) Streptomyces strains, S. tricolor (STr), and S. tendae (STe), were confirmed to suppress Phytophthora blight of pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) in a former pot experiment. In terms of practicality, it is urgent to prepare solid microbial agents and test their actual effects on the community diversity and vitality of soil AM fungi. First, by adjusting the formulation and fermentation conditions, the opt…
Prospective associations between heterogeneous sleep profiles and depressive symptoms in adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Extant literature has linked sleep disturbance to depressive symptoms. However, the coexistence of naturally occurring sleep profiles among adolescents and the prospective associations between sleep profiles and depressive symptoms remain poorly understood. This study aims to uncover sleep patterns in Chinese adolescents based on a comprehensive set of sleep features (e.g., latency, daytime dysfunction, etc.) derived from the Pittsb…
Enhancing species diversity through mixed plantations of native tree species mytilaria laosensis and michelia macclurei in southern China
Mixed forests show higher mixed–monoculture similarity than monocultures. • Most diversity indices in mixed forests exceed the average values of monocultures. • Regeneration diversity in plantations declines exponentially with ground diameter. • Planting patterns and species alter plantation species composition and diversity. Mixed-species planting promotes forest growth and enhances ecological functions. However, it remains unclear whether mixed…

Parental education level and medical student engagement
Engagement in learning is widely recognized as the time and effort students put into achieving their desired goals and can be measured by the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student version (UWES-S). Higher engagement is associated with stronger learning motivation, persistence, and academic development. Parental education level was previously recognized to positively predict academic achievement and non-cognitive abilities but its impact on the en…
Learning environment as a predictor for medical students’ empathy
LE was a significant predictor for empathy. Better LE was associated with higher empathy and worse LE was related to lower empathy. This inspired us to improve LE to enhance medical students' empathy
The relationship between mindful self-care and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women
Positive and negative affect play parallel mediating roles in the relationship between mindful self-care and MFA, emphasizing the critical role of emotion regulation in developing prenatal MFA and underscore the important value of mindful self-care as a psychological resource during pregnancy, which provides new perspectives for future theoretical models and intervention designs
Top-tier ranking university bring worse perception of medical learning environment to students
The medical learning environment (MLE) exerted a profound influence on students' physical, psychological, and professional development. University prestige and ranking significantly shape students' self-perception and self-esteem. Nevertheless, the relationship between university category and MLE perception remained unexplored. Our study collected 10,901 questionnaires from 12 universities, spanning six categories. John Hopkins Learning Environme…

Drunk in China? The Imperative for Effective Interventions Against Alcohol Abuse
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use and abuse remain prevalent in China, though mounting evidence shows that even drinking in moderation is detrimental to health. While many countries' intake is on the decline, China's alcohol consumption is rising fast and is on the path to overtaking countries like the United States, even on a per capita level. OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to analyze the danger of lax enforcement of laws and regulations against alcohol use …

High-Resolution Remote Sensing Image Segmentation Framework Based on Attention Mechanism and Adaptive Weighting
Semantic segmentation has been widely used in the basic task of extracting information from images. Despite this progress, there are still two challenges: (1) it is difficult for a single-size receptive field to acquire sufficiently strong representational features, and (2) the traditional encoder-decoder structure directly integrates the shallow features with the deep features. However, due to the small number of network layers that shallow feat…
