Ultrasound reliance and landmark-based proficiency in vascular access training
Ultrasound guidance has substantially changed vascular access practice, but increasing reliance on ultrasound may be associated with reduced emphasis on landmark-based skills, particularly in resource-limited settings. If reliance on ultrasound is not matched by maintained landmark-based competence, trainees may be inadequately prepared for clinical situations in which ultrasound is unavailable and timely vascular access is critical. We evaluated…

Domain-informed weight forecasting
Background: Short-term body-weight forecasting may support personalized weight monitoring, but many existing approaches rely on contemporaneous body weight or body mass index as model inputs, which limits practical use when frequent weigh-ins are unavailable. Methods: We developed a direct multi-step forecasting framework to predict 7-day body-weight trajectories from 14 days of behavioral, physiological, and lifestyle variables. The primary data…
The long-run impact of war on international tourism demand
This Note examines the long-term impact of the Japanese War of Aggression against China on inbound tourists from Japan to Chinese regions. Difference-in-differences estimates reveal that the Chinese regions that suffered more civilian casualty rate due to the Japanese invasion of China during 1937–1945 received fewer inbound tourists from Japan. The bilateral relation, cultural exchanges, and educational programs are confirmed to be essential mec…

Exploring nonlinear and interaction effects of urban campus built environments on exercise walking using crowdsourced data
Introduction: University campuses, with their abundant natural resources and sports facilities, are essential in promoting walking activities among students, faculty, and nearby communities. However, the mechanisms through which campus environments influence walking activities remain insufficiently understood. This study examines universities in Wuhan, China, using crowdsourced data and machine learning methods to analyze the nonlinear and intera…
Real-Time Evaluation of Craving, Withdrawal, and Respiratory Symptoms Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Use e-Cigarettes
BACKGROUND: A growing body of work has identified short-term harms of e-cigarette use that may be indicative of long-term harm. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a methodology that can contribute to these efforts, as it lends itself to capturing moment-to-moment changes in symptoms as people go about their natural environments. This study leveraged EMA to assess the correspondence between instances of e-cigarette use and changes in self-re…
Public health emergencies and international trade in the context of global value chains
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the frequency of public health emergencies (PHE), which pose a substantial threat to the global supply and demand equilibrium as well as the stability of the global value chains (GVC). The article takes the example of the COVID‐19 pandemic and utilises China's foreign trade monthly data spanning from 2018 to 2021 for an empirical analysis of how COVID‐19 affected China's import and export trad…
Prospective associations between nicotine type and the continuation of youth e-cigarette use
Our findings suggest that, when it comes to predicting the continuation of vaping among youth who have already initiated, nicotine type (i.e., the ratio of R- and S-isomers) may play a critical role. It is encouraging that R/S nicotine may have lower addictive potential; however, tobacco control should be vigilant for marketing strategies attempting to establish R/S nicotine e-cigarettes as "starter" products for youth

Through a lens of influencer marketing and source credibility theory, this study investigates the role of streamer identity (i.e. internet celebrities and e-shop sellers) and streamer level (macro vs. micro) on luxury brands’ live streaming sales. Using fixed-effect models, the data from 7,164 live streaming campaigns between 1 August 2020 and 31 December…
Impact of Indian Ocean Dipole on Atlantic Niño predictive skill
Recent studies suggest that tropical Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies, especially those associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), may trigger Atlantic Niño through atmospheric teleconnection. However, it remains unclear whether the former has an impact on the prediction skill of the latter. This work applies hindcasts from 21 operational seasonal forecast systems based on dynamical climate models to verify the impact of t…
What do young people know about the nicotine in their e-cigarettes

It purports that importance must be attached to the interests and demands of young people during the construction of a harmonious socialist society and, …
Medical expenditures associated with nonfatal occupational injuries among immigrant and U.S.-born workers
Immigrant workers had a statistically significant lower incidence rate of nonfatal occupational injuries than U.S.-born workers. There was no significant difference in seeking medical treatment and in the mean expenditures per injured worker between the two groups. The proportion of total expenditures paid by workers' compensation was smaller (marginally significant) for immigrant workers than for U.S.-born workers
Nonoccupational and Occupational Injuries to US Workers With Disabilities
Objectives. We examined medically treated injuries among US workers with disability. Methods. Using 2006–2010 National Health Interview Survey data, we compared 3-month rates of nonoccupational and occupational injuries to workers with disability (n = 7729) and without disability (n = 175 947). We fitted multivariable logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of injuries by disability status, controlling for…
