Cloning and deorphanization of three inotocin (insect oxytocin/vasopressin-like) receptors and their ligand from the tick Ixodes scapularis
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2023 Sep 9;680:34-41. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.09.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany insects produce the cyclic neuropeptide inotocin (CLITNCPRGamide), which is the insect orthologue of the mammalian neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin. These insects also have one inotocin G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), which is the orthologue of the mammalian oxytocin and vasopressin receptors. The tick Ixodes scapularis belongs to the subphylum Chelicerata, an arthropod taxon different from insects, to which also spiders, scorpions, and mites belong. I. scapularis is an ectoparasite and a health ri...

In situ effects of microplastics on the decomposition of aquatic macrophyte litter in eutrophic shallow lake sediments, China
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 14:122543. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122543. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to aquatic organisms has been extensively studied recently. However, few studies have investigated the effects of MPs in sediments on aquatic ecosystem functioning. In the present study, we conducted an in situ experiment to explore the concentration-dependent effects (0.025%, 0.25%, 2.5%) and size-dependent effects (150-300 μm and 500-1000 μm) of polypropylene microplastics (PP MPs) on Vallisneria natans litter decomposition dynamics, in particular, the process associated with macroinv...

Trade liberalization and nutrition transition: Evidence from China
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Sep 9;51:101304. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101304. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe examine the impact of trade liberalization on the nutrition transition between 1997 and 2011. Our findings demonstrate that the reduction in tariff rates has had a significant effect on the dietary patterns of both rural and urban residents in the country. With the decrease in tariffs, there has been a noticeable increase in the consumption of animal products (such as meat and aquatic products), vegetables, beans and nuts, as well as packaged and processed foods. Simultaneously, there has been a decrease in the demand for ...

Employee green behavior: a study on the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on employee green behavior, green culture: the moderating role of green innovation
This study adopts the natural resource-based view (NRBV) of the firm to investigate the relationships between corporate social responsibility (CSR), employees' green behavior (EGB), green culture, environmental performance (EP), and green innovation (GI) in China's automobile manufacturing industry. A survey of 465 employees was conducted. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results showed that CSR positively influences EGB and GC, which in turn improves EP. CSR also directly impacts EP. Furthermore, GI enhances the positive effect of CSR on EP through the mediators EGB and ...

Low-carbon transformation of China's smallholder agriculture: exploring the role of farmland size expansion and green technology adoption
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29610-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFarmland size and green technology have a significant impact on agricultural carbon emissions. However, more research needs to consider the impact of their interaction on agricultural carbon neutralization. In this paper, the impact of farmland size on the net carbon effect and its underlying mechanisms from the perspective of green agricultural technology adoption were empirically examined using a tracking survey of 2600 farming households. The results show that farmland size expansion at both household and plot levels ...

Impact of digital trade on regional carbon emissions
This article uses panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020, and uses a two-way fixed effect model to empirically investigate the impact of digital trade development on regional carbon emissions and its heterogeneity. The results show that the development of digital trade significantly reduces regional carbon emissions, and the conclusion is still valid after conducting the robustness tests. Digital trade can reduce regional carbon emissions by exploiting its effects of expanding economic scale, upgrading industrial structure, and promoting green technology innovation. In addition, the carbon reduction effect...
