Soil Acidification Decouples Microbial Biomass Production From Necromass Accumulation in Apple Orchards via Enhanced Mineral Association
Extensive chemical fertilization has caused severe soil acidification in China, particularly in orchard ecosystems. Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) plays a pivotal role in soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation, yet how it responds to acidification and contributes to SOC remains poorly understood. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach across apple orchards on the Jiaodong Peninsula, we revealed a fundamental decoupling between microbial b…

Is Sexual Consent Sexy
Although depictions of sexual consent are rare in the media, such portrayals have the potential to instruct young people on the procedural details of sexual consent. Taking an entertainment-education (E-E) perspective, we examined the effects of a televised depiction of sexual consent that contained verbal sexual consent, versus a televised depiction that only included nonverbal sexual consent, versus a no-exposure control group to test for chang…
Russian Troll Vaccine Misinformation Dissemination on Twitter
Although vaccine misinformation has been a longstanding problem, the growth of social media and divides based on political ideology have raised novel concerns. One noteworthy example involves the Russian Internet Research Agency's deployment of operatives on Twitter (i.e., trolls) working to sow discord among the American public. We examine 1,959 tweets made by trolls between 2015 and 2017 about vaccination to better understand their efforts to s…
Analyzing U.S. State Governments’ Covid-19 Homepages during the Initial Lockdown in March and April 2020
During times of a pandemic, government emergency response webpages are an important communication channel and if properly managed, will mitigate pandemic impacts. Guided by the Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) framework and web interactivity literature, this study examined the information content and interactivity of U.S. state governments' COVID-19 homepages when many states declared stay-at-home orders in March or April of 2020. U…

High cost of waste treatment calls for systematic rethinking
The chemical industry has witnessed a heavy global environmental clean‐up and remediation burden. Chemical industrial parks (CIPs) are important carriers of the chemical industry and present both opportunities and challenges in terms of environmental sustainability. The end‐of‐pipe waste treatment system, comprised of enterprise facilities and shareable infrastructure, is mandatory in Chinese CIPs; in that sense, its cost is often taken for grant…

Engagement with incivility in tweets from and directed at local elected officials
Although social media have created novel opportunities for the public and local elected officials representing city or state governments to interact, concerns have been raised about the tenor of their discourse. We used machine learning in this project to identify the presence of incivility in tweets (N = 38,218) made by and directed at local officials representing a metropolitan area over an 18-month period and examine its implications. Compared…

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19)
Objective: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a major public health challenge around the world, and outbreaks of the SARS-CoV-2 have constituted a public health emergency of international concern. Infection control measures are necessary to prevent further spread of the virus and to help control the epidemic situation. Due to the characteristics of gynecological settings, the risk of cross infection between patients an…
Not Another Teen Show
Television narratives present conflicting information regarding heterosexual, adolescent sexuality. In response to this, the present study examined the associations between adolescent girls’ (N = 419, Mage = 16.37, SD = 1.36) sexually oriented television viewing and their expectations in romantic and sexual relationships in two related domains. Results showed that sexually oriented teen television viewing was positively associated with adolescent…
Are We Past the Heterosexual Script? A Content Analysis of Contextual Cues Within the Heterosexual Script in Tween, Teen, and Young Adult Television Programs
In light of recent research establishing the prevalence of the heterosexual script on television (Aubrey et al., 2020; Kim et al., 2007), the present study investigated the context of the heterosexual script in 182 episodes of tween, teen, and young adult television programs. The following scripts were assessed: sex as masculinity (masculinity is achieved through sexuality), good girls (women are sexual gatekeepers), male commitment (men avoid co…

“But first let me take a selfie”
While some scholars argue that selfies can be a way for teenage girls, particularly, to showcase their individual identity, others argue that selfie activities can lead to body dissatisfaction and self-objectification, to name a few consequences. Utilizing objectification theory, we examined selfie activities (selfie sharing, selfie editing, and selfie investment) in relation to self-objectification and appearance concerns with Imaginary Audience…

The Heterosexual Script on Tween, Teen, and Young-Adult Television Programs
In a well-cited 2007 paper in Journal of Sex Research, Kim and colleagues proposed and documented a heterosexual script on primetime television. In the present study, we provide a 15-year update on the portrayal of the heterosexual script, and we further examine how it relates to three contextual variables: target age of the audience, age of the characters, and relational context of the script. Drawing from a 2016 sample of television programs th…
Chinese returnees’ motivation, post-return status and impact of return
The study analyzed 143 empirical studies on Chinese returnees published during 2005−2015. Three major categories of research topics emerged from the analysis: motivations for return, post-return status and the impact of returnees in China. The review detected two major debates in the literature concerning the impact of remittances and the contributions of returnees. Though variables such as gender, age, marital status and duration of the stay abr…
