Current situation and influencing factors for suicidal intent in patients with intentional acute pesticide poisoning
Introduction: Since pesticides have been widely used in agricultural production, acute pesticide poisoning (APP) has gradually become a worldwide public health problem. Recently, the number of APP cases has been high in China, and the intentional self-administration of pesticides is the main cause of APP. However, there is a lack of relevant studies on the factors influencing suicidal intent in patients with intentional APP. This study aimed to e…
CO2 and N2O Emissions from Spring Maize Soil under Alternate Irrigation between Saline Water and Groundwater in Hetao Irrigation District of Inner Mongolia, China
Alternative irrigation between saline water and groundwater can alleviate shortages of available agricultural water while effectively slowing the adverse effects of saline water on the soil-crop system when compared with continuous irrigation with saline water and blending irrigation between saline water and groundwater. In 2018, we tested the effect on soil CO 2 and N 2 O emissions by two types of irrigation regimes (alternating groundwater and …
Social impacts of the Global Financial Crisis on China and its policy initiatives
