Brown rot disease poses a severe threat to tomato plants, resulting in reduced yields. Therefore, the accurate and efficient detection of tomato brown rot disease through deep learning technology holds immense importance for enhancing productivity. However, intelligent disease detection in complex scenarios remains a formidable challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complicated long-lasting illness where the body's immune system attacks the gut, and scientists are trying to understand what causes it.
  • A new gene called Ring1a has been discovered, which helps control the immune system and gut bacteria; without it, inflammation in the intestines gets worse.
  • The study also shows that giving a medicine called metronidazole can help reduce the inflammation in mice that lack the Ring1a gene.

Background: Light at night (LAN) is a physiological environmental factor related to thyroid cancer (TC). The spatial relationship between the number of TC incident cases, LAN, air pollution and other macro social factors and stationarity needs to be further examined to provide evidence for regional control of TC.

Methods: Spatial econometrics methods for spatial nonstationarity were used to explore the impacts of LAN, air pollutants, economic factors, and population size on the number of TC incident cases in 182 Chinese prefecture-level cities and the local coefficients were further tested for nonstationarity.

Article Synopsis
  • Air pollution significantly impacts the health of vulnerable populations, particularly in rural China, where spatial variations in health costs and contributing factors have not been thoroughly examined.
  • A study used geographical detection to analyze factors influencing catastrophic health expenditure (ICHE) among older adults in 100 rural areas, revealing strong links between health service factors and ICHE, especially when combined with air pollution.
  • The findings underscore the need for integrated policies that address both environmental protection and health care, suggesting that regions should tailor their approaches based on local circumstances to effectively tackle the combined challenges of air pollution and health crises in the post-COVID-19 era.

Background: China's medical insurance schemes and poverty alleviation policy at this stage have achieved population-wide coverage and the system's universal function. At the late stage of the elimination of absolute poverty task, how to further exert the poverty alleviation function of the medical insurance schemes has become an important agenda for targeted poverty alleviation. To analyse the risk of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) occurrence in middle-aged and older adults with vulnerability characteristics from the perspectives of social, regional, disease, health service utilization and medical insurance schemes.

In this paper, the model is constructed by measuring the psychological stress condition of employees; the psychological stress condition measurement model analyzes and tests the reasons for reducing human resource turnover in enterprises. In this paper, through the research related to the problem of talent loss in enterprises, we found that enterprises of other ownership often use the talent loss early warning model, to measure the possibility of talent loss in enterprises and issue an early warning, which enables enterprises to solve the talent loss crisis in time and minimize the negative impact of talent loss on enterprises. In this paper, we analyze the causes of human resource attrition risk from a theoretical point of view, construct a system of human resource attrition risk indicators for enterprises, and explain the content of each technical indicator and its measurement method.

Background: The high incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (ICHE) among middle-aged and elderly population is a major deterrent for reducing the financial risk of disease. Current research is predominantly based on the assumption of spatial homogeneity of nationwide population characteristics, ignoring the differences in regional characteristics. Thus, our study aimed to explore the impact of various influencing factors on the ICHE from a spatiotemporal perspective.

Tomato plants are infected by diseases and insect pests in the growth process, which will lead to a reduction in tomato production and economic benefits for growers. At present, tomato pests are detected mainly through manual collection and classification of field samples by professionals. This manual classification method is expensive and time-consuming.

Background: As the fifth-largest global mortality risk factor, air pollution has caused nearly one-tenth of the world's deaths, with a death toll of 5 million. 21% of China's disease burden was related to environmental pollution, which is 8% higher than the US. Air pollution will increase the demand and utilisation of Chinese residents' health services, thereby placing a greater economic burden on the government.

Objective: Middle-aged and older adults are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases because of their particular health characteristics, which lead to a high incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE). This study plans to analyse the different factors affecting CHE in middle-aged and older adults with chronic diseases, target the vulnerable characteristics, and suggest groups that medical insurance policies should pay more attention to.

Methods: The data used in this study came from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database.

This paper explored how the government provides low-carbon subsidies for the manufacturers, retailers, and consumers in a secondary supply chain under cap-and-trade scheme. We calculated the best prices, emissions reductions, and the demands for common and low-carbon products when subsidizing each of the abovementioned market players. In particular, a comparative analysis of their equilibrium outcomes was made thereafter.

Non-communicable diseases (NCD) drag the NCD patients' families to the abyss of poverty. Medical insurance due to weak control over medical expenses and low benefits levels, may have actually contributed to a higher burden of out-of-pocket payments. By making a multi-dimensional calculation on catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) in Heilongjiang Province over 10 years, it is significant to find the weak links in the implementation of medical insurance to achieve poverty alleviation.
