Semantic composition and pragmatic reasoning in preschool children’s interpretation of negated gradable adjectives
Absolute gradable adjectives (e.g., dry ) and relative gradable adjectives (e.g., tall ) interact differently with negation, with only negated absolute gradable adjectives semantically entailing their antonyms (e.g., not dry ⊨ wet ). This study examined how 4- and 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children and adults interpreted these two types of negative expressions. Results showed that all groups interpreted negated absolute gradable adjectives as …
Olfactory dysfunction and all-cause mortality
Understanding the descriptive/metalinguistic dichotomy
Negation is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, enabling us to deny the semantic content of propositions (descriptive negation, DN) and refute the appropriateness of previous utterances (metalinguistic negation, MN). The DN/MN dichotomy has sparked extensive discussions about their relationship. Some argue that DN emerges as the default interpretation of all negative expressions, whereas MN is a marked use. However, others propose that DN an…

Trends in statin prescription among osteoporosis patients
Statin prescribing patterns in osteoporosis patients remain uncharacterized despite cardiovascular disease being a leading cause of mortality in this population. This study examined temporal trends and demographic variations in statin prescription rates among osteoporosis patients in the UK. This research is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD) spanning 2005–2019. Patients’ diagnosis of osteoporosis and co…
Impacts of “shutting down the wells and reducing the farmland” policy on social-ecological system in arid areas
Digital diplomacy and domestic audience
This article aims to reveal the domestic implications of China’s digital diplomacy by centring the interaction between official diplomatic discourses and Chinese nationalist sentiments. Examining diplomatic discourse presented by Chinese foreign affairs spokespersons and the related nationalist comments of the Chinese domestic audience, this study illustrates the dynamic interplay between official diplomatic discourses, the salience of other, and…
Overall, sex-and race/ethnicity-specific prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in US adolescents aged 12–18 years
Background: Thyroid dysfunction significantly affects the health and development of adolescents. However, comprehensive studies on its prevalence and characteristics in US adolescents are lacking. Methods: We investigated the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in US adolescents aged 12-18 years using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2002 and 2007-2012 cycles. Thyroid dysfunction was assessed using serum …
Populism on the verge of power
This article examines the goal-oriented mainstreaming strategy adopted by populist-radical-right (PRR) parties on the verge of power. With the argument that depending on the party’s evolving political status and goal-pursuing strategy, PRR parties’ practices of mainstreaming may take different forms, the research aims to elucidate the dynamic interplay between party goals and mainstreaming strategy. By conducting a comparative content analysis of…
The correlation between daily temperature, diurnal temperature range, and asthma hospital admissions in Lanzhou city, 2013–2020
This study provides crucial insights into the complex relationship between temperature, DTR, and asthma hospitalization, highlighting the variations in asthma risk across different seasons and population subgroups

Plasma Proteins as Occupational Hazard Risk Monitors for Populations Working in Harsh Environments
Harsh work environments can include very cold, hot, dusty, and noisy workplaces, as well as exposure in the workplace with chemicals and other fumes, cigarette smoke, and diesel exhaust. Although working in these harsh environments can have a negative effect on health, there are no effective biomarkers for monitoring health conditions until workers develop disease symptoms. Plasma protein concentrations, which reflect metabolism and immune status…
Is the WTO Dispute Settlement System a Disaster for the U.S.? An Evaluation of U.S. – China WTO Disputes
Linguistic cues facilitate children’s understanding of belief-reporting sentences
It has been well-documented that although children around 4 years start to attribute false beliefs to others in classic false-belief tasks, they are still less able to evaluate the truth-value of propositional belief-reporting sentences, especially when belief conflicts with reality. This article investigates whether linguistic cues, verb factivity in particular, can facilitate children’s understanding of belief-reporting sentences. Two experimen…
Effects of Land Reclamation on Soil Bacterial Community and Potential Functions in Bauxite Mining Area
Studying the characteristics of microorganisms in mine reclamation sites can provide a scientific reference basis for mine land reclamation. Soils in the plough layer (0-20 cm) of the bauxite mine plots in Pingguo city, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, with different reclamation years were used as the research objects. The community structure of soil bacteria was analyzed with high-throughput sequencing technology. The results show the fo…
A KSA system for competency-based assessment of clinicians’ professional development in China and quality gap analysis
A competency-based assessment system is proposed to evaluate clinician's competency development in three domains: knowledge (K), skills (S), and attitude (A). The system consists of 36 competency indicators, a rating scale of 5 proficiency levels, and a gap analysis to measure competency evolution through 3 key milestones in clinician's professional career: new graduate, resident physician, and senior physician. The competency gaps identified can…
The Possibility of Weak V-DE-(NP)-A Constructions in Chinese
According to Washio’s (1997) strong and weak resultative analysis, Chinese resultative V-A-(NP) compounds allow both strong and weak resultative constructions while Chinese V-DE-(NP)-A constructions allow only strong resultative constructions, i.e., weak V-DE-(NP)-A constructions are not accepted in these constructions when the result predicate is a stage-level predicate + le. However, it can be found that these ungrammatical weak V-DE-(NP)-A con…

The Reemerging Concern over Air Pollution in China
The Politics of Compliance with Adverse WTO Dispute Settlement Rulings in China
Starting from 2004, China's trading partners, in particular the United States, have increasingly utilized the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system (DSS) to challenge China's trade-related measures. As a major player in world trade, how China responds to adverse rulings is not only important to its trading partners, but also for the future of the international trade regime. China has thus far held a relatively good compliance r…
