  • Cross-cultural determinants of AI acceptance in medical education among medical students in China and Pakistan

    Open AccessXin Xu, Xu Xin et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly introduced into medical education, little is known about the psychological mechanisms through which social influences shape AI acceptance across different cultural contexts. This study addresses this gap by examining whether perceived usefulness and attitude mediate the relationship between subjective norms and AI acceptance, sequentially, among medical students in China and Pakist…

  • Subsoil Tillage With Straw Mulching Enhances Top‐Down Control of Deep Soil Carbon Accumulation via Fungal Pathways

    Open AccessXin Xu, Xu Xin et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2025

    Enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, especially in deep soil layers, is essential for agricultural sustainability. Conservation tillage practices, such as no‐tillage and subsoil tillage with straw mulching, can increase SOC accumulation, yet their depth‐specific effects remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate how different conservation tillage practices influence SOC distribution and microbial contributions to SOC accumulati…

  • The COPD risk associated with adulthood weight change and early adulthood BMI: A prospective cohort study

    Open AccessLu Chen, Wei Yu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Gaps concerning general adiposity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are delaying policies for weight interventions in COPD prevention, especially adiposity in early adulthood and weight changes during adulthood. Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank, a prospective cohort between 2004–2008 covering 5 urban and 5 rural areas, we included 138,764 males and 194,159 females aged 35 ~ 70 years.

  • Jewish Communities in Modern Asia: Their Rise, Demise and Resurgence

    Open AccessThomas Loy, Anna P Ronell et al.BOOKJewish Communities in Modern Asia2023

    Jewish settlement in Asia, beyond the Middle East, is largely a modern phenomenon. Imperial expansion and adventurism by Great Britain and Russia were the chief motors that initially drove Jewish settlers to move eastwards, in the nineteenth century, combined as this was with the rise of port cities and general development of the global economy. The new immigrants soon become centrally involved, in ways quite disproportionate to their numbers, in…

  • The moderating effect of parental skills for antibiotic identification on the link between parental skills for antibiotic use and inappropriate antibiotic use for children in China

    Open AccessYan Bo, Bo Yan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Parents' high level of skills for antibiotic identification is revealed to promote inappropriate antibiotic use when parents master a low level of skills for antibiotic use. Conversely, based on excellent skills for antibiotic use, better skill for antibiotic identification is associated with a greater reduction in inappropriate behaviors. We recommend future health education to strengthen skills for antibiotic identification along with guidance …

  • Forward guidance investigation in new Keynesian models

    Open AccessXin Xu, Xu Xin et al.ARTICLEEconomic Research-Ekonomska…2023

    Forward guidance is widely considered a useful tool for improving monetary policy transmission. This paper introduces endogenous Delphic guidance in which future policy targets are time-varying and dependent on the future economy. The results show that the performance of inflation-targeting forward guidance depends partially on the forward horizon and the agents' expectation, while announcing an interim output target could stimulate the economy o…

Then we examine the performances of the four types of models, a preferred result has been…

  • Leaf litter lignin degradation in response to understory vegetation removal in a Masson pine plantation

    Open AccessWei He, Abdul Baess Keyhani et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Understory vegetation changes, caused by forestry management, can alter the litter species composition and microclimate in situ, which while profoundly influence litter lignin degradation processes, is seldom investigated. To reveal the effects of these changes, understory vegetation in plots was treated as follows: no understory vegetation removal; only shrub removal; only herb removal; and, both shrub and herb removal. Single‐ and mixed‐species…

  • Significant soil acidification caused by grazing exclusion across China’s grassland areas

    Open AccessJiangtao Hong, Xin Xu et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Soil pH is strongly associated with soil biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems. Grazing exclusion (GE) has been widely adopted as an effective practice to restore degraded grasslands. However, the effect of GE on soil pH is still poorly understood and remains inconclusive. We synthesized data for 63 sites from the peer‐reviewed literature and 43 additional field sites and investigated the differences in soil pH followin…

  • Nutrient addition enhances carbon sequestration in soil but not plant biomass in a coastal shelter plantation in South China

    Open AccessYingxu Fan, Faming Wang et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Casuarina equisetifolia plantations have been widely established along tropical and subtropical coasts, where they act as a windbreak to shelter coastal areas. These shelter plantations also fulfill another important ecosystem service by sequestering large amounts of carbon (C). However, shelter plantations are usually established on nutrient‐poor sand dunes, which may limit tree growth and therefore C sequestration rates. To assess whether ferti…

  • Comparing the long‐term effects of artificial and natural vegetation restoration strategies: A case‐study of Wuqi and its adjacent counties in northern China

    Open AccessXin Xu, Xu Xin et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    The significant increase in vegetation coverage in northern China over the past two decades has attracted worldwide attention. Revegetation has been completed via artificial and natural restoration techniques, and the relative performance of each needs to be further explored. Although some studies have focused on the comparison between artificial and natural methods in vegetation restoration from a micro‐perspective, there is a lack of evidence a…
