Gendered representations of occupations in large language model generated images and texts
As large language models (LLMs) increasingly mediate everyday communication, their potential to reproduce gender inequality requires rigorous examination. The study argues that gender inequality in LLM outputs is not merely an algorithmic bias, but a socially sedimented representational phenomenon shaped by training data, model design, user interaction, and broader cultural assumptions about gender and work. Grounded in Sociocognitive Linguistics…
Phytochemical characterization and pharmacological mechanisms of Huazhuo Sanjie Chubi Decoction in treating gouty arthritis: A multivariant approach
Exploring the pro-angiogenic potential of Chinese herbal medicines: A comprehensive insight into mechanisms
Ultraviolet and infrared radiation in Australia: Assessing the benefits, risks, and optimal exposure guidelines
Despite extensive research, determining the optimal level of sunlight exposure for human health remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for ongoing scientific inquiry into this critical aspect of human well-being. This review aims to elucidate how different components of the solar spectrum, particularly near-infrared (NIR) radiation and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) affect human health in diverse ways depending on factors such as time of day and …
Developing an Effective System for Engineering Management Education: A Teaching Practice and Evaluation Perspective
In the field of engineering management, teaching emphasizes the cultivation of applied talents within the context of new engineering disciplines. Evaluating the effectiveness of this cultivation is particularly necessary. The evaluation system for teaching effectiveness plays a crucial role in enhancing teaching quality, promoting students’ comprehensive development, and driving educational reforms. In recent years, there have been numerous resea…
Phytochemical determination and mechanistic investigation of Polygala tenuifolia root (Yuanzhi) extract for bronchitis: UPLC-MS/MS analysis, network pharmacology and in vitro/in vivo evaluation
This study demonstrated the potential therapeutic effects of PLE on bronchitis by reducing cough, phlegm and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory action and molecular mechanisms of the 5 main bioactive compounds in PLE were partly validated through the in vitro assays. The findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the traditional use of PLE for bronchitis
Global, regional, and national burdens of cancer in children aged zero to nine years from 1990 to 2019
Background: The description of long-term trends in the cancer burden among children aged zero to nine years from 1990 to 2019 reveals significant changes in children's health. It helps in resource allocation and health policy planning. We analysed data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by sex and age group in children aged zero to nine. Methods: Estimates of DALYs for children aged zero to nine years, appeare…
Global burden and cross-country inequalities in diseases associated with high body mass index from 1990 to 2019: Result from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Background: High body mass index (BMI) has gradually become an increased risk factor for the global burden of diseases (GBD). As the disease burden and the number of elders globally increase, it is crucial for policymakers to realise the associations between high BMI and disease burden worldwide in a timely manner and to develop effective interventions for different countries and ages. Methods: We used the GBD 2019 database to analyse the deaths …
Psychometric evaluation of the Functional Assessment of chronic illness therapy–fatigue (Facit-Fatigue) in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease
NCT03926130. Registered 23 April 2019, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03926130
A joint framework for identifying the type and arguments of scientific contribution
Pien Tze Huang attenuated acetaminophen-induced liver injury by autophagy mediated-NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition
Harmless Treatment of High Arsenic Tin Tailings and Environmental Durability Assessment
The treatment of arsenic (As) in tin tailings (TT) has been an urgent environmental problem, and stabilization/solidification (S/S) treatment is considered an effective technology to eliminate contamination of As. In this study, we developed a low-carbon and low-alkalinity material to S/S of As, and the results showed that the leaching concentration of As after treatment was lower than the Chinese soil environmental quality standard (0.1 mg/L). B…
Distribution of Mercury and Methylmercury in Farmland Soils Affected by Manganese Mining and Smelting Activities
Manganese (Mn)-related activities would affect the mercury (Hg) cycling in farmlands, whereas this was not well understood. Here, one of the largest Mn ores in China was selected to study the effects of Mn-related activities on the accumulation and distribution of total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in farmland soils. The soil THg concentrations in the mining area were 0.56 ± 0.45, 0.56 ± 0.45, 0.53 ± 0.44, and 0.50 ± 0.46 mg kg−1 in the 0−10…
Contamination and Risk Assessment of Estrogens in Livestock Manure: A Case Study in Jiangsu Province, China
This study investigated the occurrence and contamination risk of estrogens in livestock manure in Jiangsu Province, China. Four estrogens-estriol (E3), 17β-estradiol (17β-E2), bisphenol A (BPA), and 17α-ethinyloestradiol (EE2)-were detected in livestock manure from hens, ducks, swine, and cows. The respective mean concentrations of each estrogen found in these manures were 289.8, 334.1, 330.3, and 33.7 μg/kg for E3; 38.6, 10.9, 52.9, and 38.8 μg/…
Spatial Practices in the Space of Haze City
As China undergoes rapid industrialization and urbanization, haze has become a serious environmental problem, which has brought about some significant changes to the urban space. By examining the changes to the space in haze city using a social–cultural approach, the article suggests a triadic conception of spatial practice in a haze city and analyzes its three component factors: risk experience, stress behavior, and resistant discourse. People’s…
