In the field of environmental governance, where responsibility boundaries and governance effectiveness are relatively ambiguous, a clear and systematic theoretical explanation and an empirical test on the internal transmission mechanism of social capital transforming into public environmental cooperation production behavior have not yet been formed. This study introduces perception of environmental quality as a mediating variable to explore the cognitive path through which social capital influences the public’s environmental cooperation production behavior. An empirical test is conducted based on questionnaire survey data collected from Pei County in China. The results show that social capital exerts a significant positive effect on public environmental coproduction behavior, among which social networks have the strongest impact, followed by social participation, while social trust has the weakest effect. In addition, perception of environmental quality plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between social capital and public environmental coproduction behavior. The study not only provides a new explanatory path for understanding the micro-drivers of environmental cooperative production but also offers practical implications for local governments to promote environmental participation by fostering social capital and enhancing the public’s sense of environmental gain.

This study investigated the relationship between work stress and emotional disorders among community workers, with particular emphasis on the mediating roles of life stress and physiological stress. We conducted a paper-based questionnaire with 1,834 community workers in China. Our findings indicated that work stress was a significant predictor of emotional disorders, with life stress and physiological stress mediating this relationship. Specifically, life stress accounted for 15.32% of the total effect, while physiological stress explained 45.16% of the total effect, highlighting the importance of addressing both types of stressor in interventions designed to improve the mental health of community workers. These findings enhance understanding of the mechanisms linking work stress to emotional disorders. They also offer practical implications for designing holistic stressmanagement interventions for frontline public service workers.

Objective: To explore the application effect of denosumab injection combined with basic treatment in the treatment of elderly female patients with osteoporosis. Methods: The elderly female patients with osteoporosis in our hospital from 2024.1 to 2025.7 were included. The total sample size included was 60 cases. They were divided into groups using the ball-touching method and different clinical treatments were carried out. The sample size included in the control group and the observation group were 30 cases. The corresponding treatment plan was basic treatment, denosumab injection combined with basic treatment. Results: The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group (96.67%) was higher than that in the control group (73.33%), P<0.05. The differences between the groups in electrolyte elements and bone metabolism indicators were small at the time of enrollment. After treatment, the levels of blood phosphorus, blood calcium, and bone alkaline phosphatase in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the level of type I collagen carboxyl terminal peptide β special sequence in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, P<0.05. The difference in bone density between the groups was small at the time of enrollment. After treatment, the bone density levels of lumbar spine L2-4 and total hip joint in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, P<0.05. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (13.33%, 10.00%). The drug safety was equivalent between the groups, P>0.05. Conclusion: Elderly female patients with osteoporosis who receive denosumab injection combined with basic treatment have significant value in improving patient efficacy, improving electrolyte elements, bone metabolism, and bone density indicators, and are highly safe.

This bibliometric analysis investigates the integration of big data, chatbots, and data mining in academic libraries, aiming to understand current trends, regional disparities, and future implications. Using comprehensive bibliometric methods, the study analyzes publications and citations from 2014 to the present, highlighting the significant growth in research and application of these technologies. The findings reveal a substantial increase in research output, with China leading in publication volume, followed by the United States and other Asian countries. The study identifies the critical role of big data in enhancing operational efficiencies, chatbots in improving user interactions, and data mining in uncovering hidden trends. However, challenges such as the digital divide and data privacy concerns are prominent. The study concludes that while these technologies offer transformative potential, addressing infrastructural disparities and implementing robust data governance frameworks are essential. The implications for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and academic institutions include promoting interdisciplinary research, enhancing digital literacy, and fostering international collaboration. Embracing these technologies can significantly improve the role of academic libraries as dynamic, user-centric centers of knowledge and learning, effectively meeting the evolving needs of their users in the digital age.

An increasing number of breast cancer (BC) patients choose prosthesis implantation after mastectomy, and the occurrence of breast implant illness (BII) has received increasing attention and the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. This study aimed to identify the crosstalk genes between BII and BC and explored their clinical value and molecular mechanism initially. We retrieved the data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and identified the differentially expressed genes (DEG) as well as module genes using Limma and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Enrichment analysis, the protein-protein interaction network (PPI), and machine learning algorithms were performed to explore the hub genes. We employed a nomogram and receiver operating characteristic curve to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy. Single-cell analysis disclosed variations in the expression of key genes across distinct cellular populations. The expression levels of the key genes were further confirmed in BC cell lines. Immunohistochemical analysis was utilized to examine protein levels from 25 patients with breast cancer undergoing prosthetic implant surgery. Ultimately, we deployed single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) to scrutinize the immunological profiles between the normal and BC cohorts, as well as between the non-BII and BII groups. WGCNA identified 1137 common genes, whereas DEG analysis found 541 overlapping genes in BII and BC. After constructing the PPI network, 17 key genes were selected, and three potential hub genes include KRT14, KIT, ALB were chosen for nomogram creation and diagnostic assessment through machine learning. The validation of these results was conducted by examining gene expression patterns in the validation dataset, breast cancer cell lines, and BII-BC patients. However, ssGSEA uncovered different immune cell infiltration patterns in BII and BC. We pinpointed shared three central genes include KRT14, KIT, ALB and molecular pathways common to BII and BC. Shedding light on the complex mechanisms underlying these conditions and suggesting potential targets for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

ABSTRACT The US – China trade friction, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, has prompted lead firms in the Global North to relocate supply chains out of China. This research employs an explanatory case study approach, involving 51 semi-structured interviews with managerial personnel and workers at a Chinese outdoor leisure products manufacturer during the 2021–23 period. In light of existing employment modes, a supplier devises differentiated employment responses to supply chain relocation, which results in a divide-and-rule approach to employment strategies. Furthermore, relational governance is a prerequisite for the considerable space of supplier agency in employment relations throughout the process of supply chain relocation.
