Positive Microbial‐Enzyme Feedbacks on Soil Organic Carbon Enhance Understory Cultivation of Paris polyphylla Across Forest Types
Understory imitation wild cultivation is widely used in production practice to improve the yield of Chinese medicinal plants. However, the impacts and mechanisms of cultivating medicinal plants under different forest types on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools, enzyme activities, and the diversity of cbh I‐functional microorganisms remain unclear. This study examined variations in soil SOC fractions, enzyme activities, and cbh I‐functional microbial…
A network analysis of mental, somatic health, and perceived social supports among Chinese pregnant and postpartum women
BACKGROUND: The mental burdens among pregnant and postpartum women were exacerbated by cultural expectations and policy shifts, which can be mitigated by social support. OBJECTIVE: To identify the networks of comorbid somatic and mental health, diverse sources of support (interpersonal and policy), and symptom-support interactions in pregnant and postpartum women. METHODS: Participants were recruited from seven Chinese tertiary hospitals. Health …
Rising temperatures increase added sugar intake disproportionately in disadvantaged groups in the USA
Extreme heat may affect added sugar consumption through the increased intake of drinks and frozen desserts, but such an impact is rarely quantified. Here, using individual transaction-level data for US households in 2004–2019, we find that added sugar consumption is positively related to temperature, notably within 12–30 °C at a rate of 0.70 g °C −1 . This is primarily driven by the higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and frozen desse…
Plateau Pika ( Ochotona curzoniae ) Disturbance Alters Soil‐Microbe‐Enzyme C – N – P Stoichiometry and Drives a Shift From N ‐ to P ‐Limitation in Alpine Meadows on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
Soil‐microbe‐enzyme C–N–P stoichiometry is a key indicator of nutrient cycling and ecosystem resilience. This study examines its response to plateau pika ( Ochotona curzoniae ) disturbance in alpine meadows on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The results demonstrated that plateau pika disturbance significantly enhanced soil organic carbon (SOC) by 28.97%, soil total nitrogen (STN) by 8.25%, and soil total phosphorus (STP) by 9.15%. Microbial biomass C …
Association between screen exposure and language development delay during the Covid-19 pandemic for 18–72 months children in China: Evidence from a cross-sectional study
The impact of screen exposure on children’s language development has been widely debated. However, some characteristics of screen use, particularly the influence of the pandemic over the past three years have yet to be sufficiently investigated. To examine the association between screen exposure, particularly during the pandemic, and language development delays in children aged 18–72 months. A total of 2100 children who attended the children’s la…
How growing up without siblings affects the adult brain and behaviour in the CHIMGEN cohort
Learning Frequency-Aware Cross-Modal Interaction for Multimodal Fake News Detection
Recently, fake news detection (FND) is an essential task in the field of social network analysis, and multimodal detection methods that combine text and image have been significantly explored in the last five years. However, the physical features of images that can be clearly shown in the frequency level are often ignored, and thus cross-modal feature extraction and interaction still remain a great challenge when the frequency domain is introduce…
Trends in prevalence of hearing loss in adults in the USA 1999–2018: A cross-sectional study
The prevalence of hearing loss in USA adults changed over the period 1999-2018. The trends observed provide valuable insight for making public health plans and allocating resources to hearing care. Further investigation is necessary to monitor hearing loss and its potential risk factors
Home quarantine during Covid-19 blunted childhood trauma-related psychiatric symptoms in Chinese college students
Background Childhood trauma confers risks to mental health. However, little is known about whether home quarantine (HQ) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic exaggerated or mitigated the effect of childhood trauma on mental health. Objective To examine the modulating effects of prior childhood traumas on the longitudinal changes of psychiatric symptoms in college students before and after HQ during the pandemic. Methods This was…
Association of coffee consumption with the prevalence of hearing loss in US adults, NHANES 2003–2006
Objective: This study aims to explore the association between coffee consumption and the prevalence of hearing loss in American adults based on a national population-based survey. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of reported audiometric status and coffee intake from the 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multivariate logistic regression, forest plots and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to explore…
Affordability of the EAT–Lancet reference diet: A global analysis
BACKGROUND: The EAT-Lancet Commission drew on all available nutritional and environmental evidence to construct the first global benchmark diet capable of sustaining health and protecting the planet, but it did not assess dietary affordability. We used food price and household income data to estimate affordability of EAT-Lancet benchmark diets, as a first step to guiding interventions to improve diets around the world. METHODS: We obtained retail…
Presumed Asymptomatic Carrier Transmission of Covid-19
This study describes possible transmission of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from an asymptomatic Wuhan resident to 5 family members in Anyang, a Chinese city in the neighboring province of Hubei.
The International Diet-Health Index: A novel tool to evaluate diet quality for cardiometabolic health across countries
Introduction Diet is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiometabolic disease; however, interpretable measures capturing impacts of overall diet on health that can be easily used by policymakers at the global/national levels are not readily available. Methods We developed the International Diet-Health Index (IDHI) to measure health impacts of dietary intake across 186 countries in 2010, using age-specific and sex-specific data on country-level …
Cost and affordability of nutritious diets at retail prices: Evidence from 177 countries
Many policies and programs aim to bring nutritious diets within reach of the poor. This paper uses retail prices and nutrient composition for 671 foods and beverages to compute the daily cost of essential nutrients required for an active and healthy life in 177 countries around the world. We compare this minimum cost of nutrient adequacy with the subsistence cost of dietary energy and per-capita spending on all goods and services, to identify sty…
Financial Frictions and Fluctuations in Volatility
The US Great Recession featured a large decline in output and labor, tighter financial conditions, and a large increase in firm growth dispersion. We build a model in which increased volatility at the firm level generates a downturn and worsened credit conditions. The key idea is that hiring inputs is risky because financial frictions limit firms’ ability to insure against shocks. An increase in volatility induces firms to reduce their inputs to …

We May Be Different, but I Can Help You: The Effects of Leaders’ Political Skills on Leader–Follower Power Distance Value Incongruence and Withdrawal Behavior
Based on a resource perspective, the authors investigated how leader–follower power distance value incongruence influences employees’ withdrawal behavior. Data were collected twice in China, and the sample included 66 leaders and 350 followers. Leader–follower power distance value incongruence was found to be associated with the psychological workplace strain experienced by followers, indicating that incongruence was a stressor for this group and…
