The Power of Knowledge
Strengthening the foundation of basic research is crucial for building a technologically advanced nation and enhancing the technological innovation capacity of enterprises. Using data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2019, this study investigates the impact of basic research on corporate innovation and explores the underlying mechanisms. We find an inverted U-shaped relationship between basic research and corporate innovation, w…
Short-term ambient heat exposure and low Apgar score in newborns
Exposure to high ambient temperatures near the time of delivery has been associated with adverse birth outcomes, but studies examining the impact on immediate newborn health remain limited. We used a time-stratified case-crossover design combined with a distributed lag nonlinear model to evaluate the short-term effects of ambient heat (0–1 day lag) on low 5-minute APGAR score (≤7; sub-categories: 6–7, 3–5, 0–2). Cases of low APGAR score among low…
Disentangling the contributions of anthropogenic climate change, greenhouse gases, and aerosols to heat-related mortality in Great Britain
Health Protection Research Unit in Environmental Change and Health, National Institute for Health and Care Research
Eligibility criteria for the UK Winter Fuel Payment
BACKGROUND: Cold weather remains a serious health threat in the UK and elsewhere, particularly for older adults. The Winter Fuel Payment has been a key government strategy to mitigate health risks linked to cold homes in the UK, but recent policy shifts have raised questions about whether income-based eligibility criteria effectively identify those most at risk. METHODS: We analysed cold-related mortality in adults aged ≥75 across 324 local autho…
Heat-health governance in a cool nation
Under climate change, many parts of the world are warming with increasing frequencies and intensities of heatwaves, bringing heat-health risks to places including those that have a historically temperate or cool climate. These places may have extensive experience in managing cold-health risks, while experience is lacking in dealing with heat-health risks due to their lack of historical exposure to high temperatures. This paper explores this overl…
