Unraveling the Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Drivers of Green Transition of Farmland Use in Major Grain‐Producing Areas: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province, China
Promoting the green transition of farmland use (GTFU) in major grain‐producing areas is essential for ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development. However, existing studies on GTFU have predominantly relied on static cross‐sectional analyses, with insufficient attention paid to its nonlinear driving mechanisms. To address these gaps, this study developed a county‐level GTFU evaluation system for Jiangsu Province base…
Latent Profile Analysis of Emerging Adulthood Dimensions and Their Relationship to Depression Among Chinese College Students
Emerging adulthood (EA) is a formative life stage characterized by four core dimensions: self-exploration, responsibility, possibility, and instability in the Chinese context. While EA has been extensively studied in Western populations, its dimensional configurations and mental health implications remain underexplored in Chinese contexts. This study employed latent profile analysis to examine EA profiles and their association with depression amo…
Liquiritigenin alleviates inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in acute pancreatitis via ERβ–VDAC1 signaling
This study provides the first evidence that liquiritigenin, a selective ERβ agonist, protects against AP by inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization and preserving mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby reducing inflammatory injury and pancreatic tissue damage. These findings highlight ERβ-VDAC1 signaling as a potential therapeutic target for AP

Drawing on self-categorization theory, this study examined the impacts of perceived age and deep-level dissimilarities with younger workers on older workers’ tacit and explicit knowledge sharing (KS) with younger workers via generativity striving (GS), and extended the theory by proposing the moderating role of knowledge receiving (KR) from younger workers. This study used a three-wave online survey of 570 older workers in a large Chinese aircraf…
Disease, Scapegoating, and Social Contexts: Examining Social Contexts of the Support for Racist Naming of Covid-19 on Twitter
In early 2020, when COVID-19 began to spread in the United States, many Twitter users called it the 'Chinese virus,' blaming racial outgroups for the pandemic. I collected tweets containing the 'Chinese virus' derivatives posted from March to August 2020 by users within the United States and created a data set with 141,290 tweets published by 50,695 users. I calculated the ratio of users who supported the racist naming of COVID-19 per county and …
Critical Consciousness: Expanding Theory and Measurement
Critical consciousness represents the analysis of inequitable social conditions, the motivation to effect change, and the action taken to redress perceived inequities. Scholarship and practice in the last two decades have highlighted critical consciousness as a key developmental competency for those experiencing marginalization and as a pathway for navigating and resisting oppression. This competency is more urgent than ever given the current soc…

Asian American women's (AAW's) mental health issues have received growing public attention; recent statistics suggest alarmingly high suicide rates among AAW. Yet, little research has examined the nuanced oppression that AAW face and the daily effects of compounded racism and sexism contributing to their mental health issues. Applying the intersectionality and microaggressions framework, we developed the Gendered Racial Microaggressions Scale for…
The Two Faces of Diversity: The Relationships between Religious Polarization, Religious Fractionalization, and Self-rated Health
A dominant discourse in the social sciences theorizes that religious diversity puts individuals' health at risk via interreligious hostility. However, this discourse overlooks the different subtypes of religious diversity and the moderation of political institutions. To better understand the issue of diversity and health, in this study, we distinguish between two subtypes of religious diversity-polarization and fractionalization-and argue that th…

Six themes emerged that represented the six stages experienced by our strong f…
Introduction of risk size in the determination of uncertainty factor UF L in risk assessment
The methodology for using uncertainty factors in health risk assessment has been developed for several decades. A default value is usually applied for the uncertainty factor UF _L , which is used to extrapolate from LOAEL (lowest observed adverse effect level) to NAEL (no adverse effect level). Here, we have developed a new method that establishes a linear relationship between UF _L and the additional risk level at LOAEL based on the dose–respons…
Quantitative Bias Analysis in Regulatory Settings
Nonrandomized studies are essential in the postmarket activities of the US Food and Drug Administration, which, however, must often act on the basis of imperfect data. Systematic errors can lead to inaccurate inferences, so it is critical to develop analytic methods that quantify uncertainty and bias and ensure that these methods are implemented when needed. “Quantitative bias analysis” is an overarching term for methods that estimate quantitativ…
