Compound management of moso bamboo increased economic benefits but synergistic enhancement soil CO2 emission by weakened surface microbial activity
Compound management of moso bamboo plantations not only improves bamboo resource utilization and the economic benefits of forest farmers, but also enhances soil structure, increasing bamboo timber and shoots yields and achieving dual benefits. However, knowledge on how compound management of bamboo plantations affected soil carbon sink function is limited. We investigated the soil respiration rate, soil organic carbon (SOC) functional fractions a…
Contract farming and hog farmers’ income: Evidence from a microsurvey in rural China
Contract farming constitutes a pivotal institutional mechanism in modern agri-food value chains, yet its distinct socioeconomic dynamics in livestock systems—fundamentally diverging from those of crop-based models—remain critically understudied, particularly regarding producer-level income distribution effects. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the effects of contract farming on the income of pig farmers, utilizing survey data fro…
Predicting the influencing factors of secondary school students’ behavioral intention of mathematical problem-solving reflection by structural equation model
Problem-solving reflection constitutes a crucial component of mathematical problem-solving, yet it has been underexplored in academic literature and educational practice. To identify the factors influencing students’ behavioral intention toward problem-solving reflection, this study developed a behavioral intention model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. It administered a questionnaire to examine these influencing factors. The valid study …

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,379 college students (Mean age = 21.93 years; 616 females, 763 males) using four val…
Association between occupational heat exposure and early renal dysfunction among Chinese petrochemical workers: A combined machine learning and WQS modeling study
Objective To investigate the association between occupational heat exposure and hyperuricemia among petrochemical workers. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the association between workplace heat exposure and hyperuricemia by using 10 years of occupational health examination records from 2,312 petrochemical workers in Fujian Province, China. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were employed to estimate the effects of individual exposures. Weighted…
Global and Chinese growth failure disease burden analysis and projections for adolescents and children, 1990–2021
Objective: This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the global and Chinese burden of growth failure (GF) in children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021, focusing on mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs). The study also explored disparities across gender, age, socio-demographic index (SDI) regions, and geographic locations to inform targeted interventions. Design: A r…

The use of machine and deep learning to model the relationship between discomfort temperature and labor productivity loss among petrochemical workers
Temperature discomfort significantly undermined labor productivity in the petrochemical sector, and this impact may worsen in a warming climate if adaptation and prevention measures are insufficient. To effectively reduce heat-related productivity loss, there is a need to strengthen occupational health training and implement strict controls for occupational hazards, minimizing the potential combined effects of heat with other exposures
The Influence of Pharmaceutical Care in Patients with Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy
Objectives: Our objective was to explore the effect of a pharmaceutical care program on adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) in breast cancer patients. Methods: Female breast cancer patients taking AET (N=429) were enrolled in the study; the pharmaceutical care program was implemented and the effect of this intervention was evaluated. The primary outcomes were scores on an 8-item medication adherence scale Chinese version (MMAS), beliefs…
Maternal exposure to ambient air pollution and risk of congenital heart defects in Suzhou, China
Background More and more studies have investigated the association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy and incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs), but results are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether maternal exposure to air pollutants (PM 10 , PM 2.5 , NO 2 , CO, SO 2 ) are associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects in Suzhou city, China. Methods Based on the bir…
Relationship of sleep duration with incident cardiovascular outcomes: A prospective study of 33,883 adults in a general population
Background Studies on the effect of sleep duration on cardiovascular health have contradictory findings. Underlying health issues may have led to inconsistent results and warrant consideration. We aim to assess the relationship of night sleep duration with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population, taking into consideration underlying chronic diseases. Methods Data from Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank with a median …
Adherence to Analgesic Drugs and its Associated Factors among Patients with Cancer Pain: A Crosssectional Study in China
Objectives: Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms co-occurring with cancer progression and treatment, and medication adherence plays an important role in achieving good pain control. However, research on medication adherence and influential factors among individuals with cancer pain (CP) is limited in China. The present study aimed to investigate the adherence to analgesics in patients with CP in China and to identify factors th…
Increased risk of Covid ‐19 infection and mortality in people with mental disorders: Analysis from electronic health records in the United States
Concerns have been expressed that persons with a pre‐existing mental disorder may represent a population at increased risk for COVID‐19 infection and with a higher likelihood of adverse outcomes of the infection, but there is no systematic research evidence in this respect. This study assessed the impact of a recent (within past year) diagnosis of a mental disorder – including attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, de…
Covid-19 risk and outcomes in patients with substance use disorders: Analyses from electronic health records in the United States
The global pandemic of COVID-19 is colliding with the epidemic of opioid use disorders (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD) in the United States (US). Currently, there is limited data on risks, disparity, and outcomes for COVID-19 in individuals suffering from SUD. This is a retrospective case-control study of electronic health records (EHRs) data of 73,099,850 unique patients, of whom 12,030 had a diagnosis of COVID-19. Patients with a …

Research on the influence of equity pledge on stock price crash risk: Based on financial shock of 2015 stock market crisis
The 2015 Chinese stock market crisis triggered liquidation because of equity pledge so that the leverage effect of the small probability event with severe results got intensive attention from investors. It is found that the effects of equity pledge on stock price crash risk reversed significantly before and after the 2015 stock market crisis. In the mechanism analysis, we further find that the equity pledge influenced the stock price crash risk b…
Social Ties and Favoritism in Chinese Science
We study favoritism via hometown ties, a common source of favor exchange in China, in fellow selection of the Chinese Academies of Sciences and Engineering. Hometown ties to fellow selection committee members increase candidates' election probability by 39 percent, coming entirely from the selection stage involving an in-person meeting.
