How safety accountability impacts the safety performance of safety managers: A moderated mediating model.

Introduction: Accountability has been widely used to guide and shape employee behavior to improve employee performance. However, in safety production, whether safety accountability can improve safety performance, to what extent, and what factors are affecting it remain unclear. This study explores the mechanisms through which safety accountability affects the individual safety performance of Chinese enterprise safety managers.

Impact of temperature changes between neighboring days on cardiovascular disease hospital admissions among suburban farmers in Qingyang, Northwest China.

Background: No studies focused on impact of temperature changes between neighboring days (TCN) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) hospital admissions among suburban farmers although CVD has been the main cause to global mortality and disability especially in undeveloped and developing countries/areas.

Method: Daily data of CVD hospital admissions on suburban farmers and daily data of meteorology in Qingyang (China) were collected during 2011-2015. A distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was applied to explore the exposure-response relations and lagged effects between TCN and CVD hospital admissions with stratified analyses by age and gender.

Association between ambient temperature and cardiovascular disease hospitalisations among farmers in suburban northwest China.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a severe public health and social issue in China. However, in northwest China, evidence on the association between ambient temperature and CVD hospitalisations in suburban farmers is somewhat limited. We collected CVD hospitalisations and meteorological data (2012-2015) in Zhangye suburbs and assessed the temperature-related risk and burden of admission by fitting a distributed lag nonlinear model to probe the relationship between ambient temperature and CVD hospitalisations among farmers in suburban northwest China.

Short-term effects of main air pollutants exposure on LOS and costs of CVD hospital admissions from 30,959 cases among suburban farmers in Pingliang, Northwest China.

Background: Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the major contributor to global mortality and disability especially in undeveloped and developing countries/areas with severer air pollutions, studies are quite limited and evidence is insufficient of short-term main air pollutants exposure on health burden of CVD hospital admissions in those regions particularly through direct costs.

Method: Based on an analysis of 30,959 CVD hospital admissions among suburban farmers from 2018 to 2019 through multiple linear regression (MLR), our study evaluated the impact of main air pollutants (PM, PM, SO, CO, NO and O) exposure on number of cases, length of stay (LOS) and costs of CVD hospital admissions in Pingliang, China.

Results: Concentration of SO and O rising from a low level was found to lower the costs, LOS and daily cases of CVD hospital admissions and PM, PM, CO and NO were found to aggravate the burden.

Effects of diurnal temperature range on cardiovascular disease hospital admissions in farmers in China's Western suburbs.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), reported to relate with climate change, is the leading cause of global mortality and morbidity. Since the relevant information is quite limited from suburbs and countryside in developing and underdeveloped countries, there are no studies that focused on morbidity through diurnal temperature range (DTR) for these regions. This is the first study to evaluate the short-term effect of DTR on CVD hospital admission in suburban farmers, as well as to identify vulnerable subpopulations.

Prognostic gene biomarker identification in liver cancer by data mining.

Background: Liver cancer is a common cancer that enormously threatens the health of people worldwide. With the continuous advances of high-throughput gene sequencing technology and computer data mining technology, researchers can understand liver cancer based on the current accumulation of gene expression data and clinical information.

Methods: We downloaded the TCGA data of liver cancer on the cancer-related website (https://genome-cancer.

Knowledge map and global trends in extreme weather research from 1980 to 2019: a bibliometric analysis.

There is an increasing number of studies focusing on extreme weather all over the world, but global trends and research topics related to extreme weather are still unclear. This study aimed to explore the current situation, research themes, and future trends in the field of extreme weather. Publications published from 1980 to 2019 were identified and retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection databases by using keywords on May 5, 2020.

Impact of ambient temperature on cardiovascular disease hospital admissions in farmers in China's Western suburbs.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been a major threat to global public health. The association between temperature and CVD has been widely studied and reported in cities in developed countries. However, information from developing countries, especially from suburbs and countryside, is quite limited.

Identification of prognostic gene biomarkers for metastatic skin cancer using data mining.

Skin cancer is a common malignant tumor in China and throughout the world, and the rate of recurrence is considerably high, thus endangering the quality of life and health of patients, and increasing the economic burden and pressure to the families of those afflicted. Due to the limitations of traditional drug treatments, it is difficult to achieve the desired therapeutic effect of complete removal. However, targeted gene therapy may be a novel means of treating skin cancer, as the targeted nature of treatment may improve therapeutic outcomes.

Regional Character, Restaurant Size, and Food Safety Risk: Evidence from Food Safety Violation Data in Gansu Province, China.

Abstract: Restaurants are a place where food is prepared and cooked directly for customers. Food safety in restaurants is a public health concern and a multidisciplinary issue that needs to be explored. To protect the health of consumers and identify external factors that may affect food safety risk, this study explores how economic development and population density at the local level relate to food safety inspection outcomes in restaurants of different sizes.

Lag effect of air temperature on the incidence of respiratory diseases in Lanzhou, China.

Previous studies have found that ambient temperature was associated with respiratory disease. However, little evidence is available in Lanzhou, a semi-arid region in northwest China, and respiratory disease is not well understood. This study evaluated the risk of outpatient visits for respiratory diseases associated with ambient temperatures from 2007 to 2016 in Lanzhou.

Effect of PM on daily outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in Lanzhou, China.

The present study assessed the effect of short-term exposure to PM of daily outpatient visits for respiratory diseases. Electronic records of daily outpatient visits were collected from two large general hospitals in Lanzhou, China from 01 January 2007 to 31 December 2016. Daily air pollution data from the Lanzhou Environmental Monitoring Station and daily meteorological data from the Lanzhou Meteorological Bureau were collected in the same period.

Comparison of air pollution in Shanghai and Lanzhou based on wavelet transform.

For a long-period comparative analysis of air pollution in coastal and inland cities, we analyzed the continuous Morlet wavelet transform on the time series of a 5274-day air pollution index in Shanghai and Lanzhou during 15 years and studied the multi-scale variation characteristic, main cycle, and impact factor of the air pollution time series. The analysis showed that (1) air pollution in the two cities was non-stationary and nonlinear, had multiple timescales, and exhibited the characteristics of high in winter and spring and low in summer and autumn. (2) The monthly variation in air pollution in Shanghai was not significant, whereas the seasonal variation of air pollution in Lanzhou was obvious.
