Population aging and robot adoption: Evidence from China
Digital economy agglomeration and energy efficiency gain: Evidence from China
This study develops a stylized theoretical model to analyze how digital economy agglomeration affects energy efficiency. Then, we employ a two-way fixed effect model to identify the impact of digital economy agglomeration on energy efficiency. We find that a higher degree of digital economy agglomeration significantly increases a city’s energy efficiency. This result is robust when we address endogeneity concerns by exploiting a policy shock, geo…
Impact of pooled procurement of medicines on patient adherence and economic burden: Evidence from China
Background: Pooled procurement is widely adopted to improve medicine affordability, yet its impact on patients' medicine adherence and economic burden remains underexplored. This study addresses these gaps under China's National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy. Methods: Using claims data from Tianjin, China (2017-2020), we conducted a retrospective cohort study of new-users of NVBP antihypertensive medicines before and after policy impleme…
Factors related to quality of life in caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder: Emphasizing challenges in the context of Eastern China
The findings highlighted that the QOL in caregivers of children with ASD was lower, and more attention needed to be paid to caregivers who were mothers, lived in rural areas, had an education level of junior high school or below, and had chronic diseases. In addition, it was necessary to develop coping strategies to address insomnia symptoms, parenting stress, family function, and medical service quality
The unintended consequence of trade liberalization: Input tariff reduction and firm energy rebound effect in China
Cinobufacini injection delays hepatocellular carcinoma progression by regulating lipid metabolism via SREBP1 signaling pathway and affecting macrophage polarization
Quantitative climatic reconstruction and prehistoric human subsistence strategy evolution since the mid-Holocene in Nenjiang river Basin, Northeastern China
Characterization and Transcriptome Analysis of a Long-Chain n-Alkane-Degrading Strain Acinetobacter pittii SW-1
Strain sw-1, isolated from 7619-m seawater of the Mariana Trench, was identified as Acinetobacter pittii by 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequencing. A. pittii sw-1 was able to efficiently utilize long-chain n -alkanes (C 18 -C 36 ), but not short- and medium-chain n -alkanes (C 8 -C 16 ). The degradation rate of C 20 was 91.25%, followed by C 18 , C 22 , C 24 , C 32 , and C 36 with the degradation rates of 89.30%, 84.03%, 80.29%, 30.29%, and 13…
Biogeochemical evidence for environmental and vegetation changes in peatlands from the middle Yangtze river catchment during the medieval warm period and little ice Age
The reconstruction of past climates and vegetation can provide valuable information for understanding the mechanisms of the variability of the East Asian summer monsoon in eastern China. In this study, organic geochemical evidence from the compositions of sedimentary leaf-wax stable isotopes and n-alkane parameters investigates the changes in vegetation and climate over the last 1200 years in the Xiyaohu peatland, Jiangxi Province, southeast Chin…
An Empirical Study of the Impact of Social Interaction on Public Pro-Environmental Behavior
Public pro-environmental behavior plays a positive role in solving environmental pollution problems. In a real socioeconomic system, because public pro-environmental behavior has characteristics of externality and interactivity, a number of factors, such as external information and the behavior of others, could affect the pro-environmental behavior of individuals who optimize their own strategies by interacting with the outside world; thus, publi…
Reevaluation of carbonate concentration and oxygen isotope records from Lake Qinghai, the northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Temperature variations since 1750 CE inferred from an alpine lake in the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
Peatland evolution and associated environmental changes in central China over the past 40,000 years
Central China has experienced stronger summer monsoon during warm periods such as Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 1 and 3, and weaker summer monsoon during cool periods such as MIS 2. The evolution history of Dajiuhu subalpine peatland in central China can help investigate how the expansion and shrinkage of peatland were associated with monsoonal strength over the last glacial–interglacial cycle. Here we apply bulk organic carbon and molecular biomar…
Late Quaternary carbon cycling responses to environmental change revealed by multi-proxy analyses of a sediment core from an upland lake in southwest China
Stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) values of organic matter in lacustrine sediments are commonly used to trace past changes in terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles. Here we use a high-resolution, well-dated δ 13 C record from Lake Tengchongqinghai (TCQH) in southwestern China, together with other proxy indices, to reconstruct the paleolimnological history over the past 18.5 ka. Organic matter in the sediments of Lake TCQH is derived predominately fr…
Solar imprints on Asian inland moisture fluctuations over the last millennium
Solar irradiance changes are thought to play an important role in natural climate variability. How the hydrological conditions were affected by solar irradiance in westerly-controlled arid central Asia (ACA) on decadal/centennial timescales remains poorly understood because of the lack of high-quality records. Here, we integrate 1.2-year-resolution x-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanner-derived carbonate accumulation estimates with 6-year-resolution bi…
Biomarker-based reconstructions of Holocene lake-level changes at Lake Gahai on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Holocene hydrological changes in regions dominated by the westerlies significantly differ from those by the Asian summer monsoon. The high-elevated northeastern Tibetan Plateau, located in between, is likely influenced by the interactions of both circulation systems. Here, we attempt to use biomarkers, n-alkanes and alkenones, to reconstruct Holocene lake-level changes at Lake Gahai in the Qaidam Basin. We choose a sediment core drilled at the la…
Holocene temperature fluctuations in the northern Tibetan Plateau
Arid Central Asia (ACA) lies on a major climatic boundary between the mid-latitude westerlies and the northwestern limit of the Asian summer monsoon, yet only a few high-quality reconstructions exist for its climate history. Here we calibrate a new organic geochemical proxy for lake temperature, and present a 45-yr-resolution temperature record from Hurleg Lake at the eastern margin of the ACA in the northern Tibetan Plateau. Combination with oth…
Late Holocene Vegetation and Climate Oscillations in the Qaidam Basin of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Pollen evidence from sediment cores at Hurleg and Toson lakes in the Qaidam Basin was obtained to examine vegetation and climatic change in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The chronologies were controlled by 210 Pb and 137 Cs analysis and AMS 14 C dating. Pollen assemblages from both lakes are dominated by Chenopodiaceae (∼ 40%), Artemisia (∼ 30–35%) and Poaceae (∼ 20–25%), with continued occurrence but low abundance of Nitraria , Ephed…
Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) declines at 9800 and 5300 cal. yr BP caused by Holocene climatic shifts in northeastern North America
We present fossil pollen data from a sediment core at Lake Grinnell in northern New Jersey of the northeastern United States. The 12 500-yr chronology of the sediment record was controlled by seven calibrated AMS radiocarbon dates on terrestrial plant macrofossils. Similar to many pollen profiles in the region, our data show that vegetation changed from Picea- and Pinus-dominated woodland/forest at 12.5—11.4 ka (1 ka = 1000 cal. yr BP), through P…
