Internet use, dietary habits and adolescent obesity: evidence from China.

The widespread use of Internet has substantially influenced adolescents' lifestyles. This paper systematically explored the impact of Internet use on adolescent obesity and unveiled the underlying mechanism in China. We discussed the relationship among Internet use, dietary habits and obesity, and estimated the impact using panel data collected by the China Health and Nutrition Survey.

Does the limelight foster the green transition of listed industrial companies? An empirical analysis from Chinese A-share market.

This paper contributes current research by investigating the extent to which equity linkage networks impact enterprise green transition in sustainable development. By adopting a complex network approach, we constructed a common shareholding network based on the top ten shareholders of listed industrial enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2013 to 2022. The empirical results indicate that enterprises closer to the centre of the equity linkage network tend to have higher degrees of green transition.

Does higher education matter for health in the UK?

Using six sweeps of data from the 1958 British National Child Development Study (NCDS), we employ a quasi-parametric approach of propensity score matching to estimate the impacts of higher education attainment on a wide range of health-related outcomes for cohorts at ages 33, 42, and 50. The non-pecuniary benefits of higher education on health are substantial. Cohorts with higher levels of education are more likely to report better health, maintain a healthy weight, refrain from smoking, exhibit a lower frequency of alcohol consumption, and are less likely to be obese.

A novel approach based on similarity measure for the multiple attribute group decision-making problem in selecting a sustainable cryptocurrency.

Environmental impact and sustainability challenges in the cryptocurrencies has become increasingly examined in the literature. However, studies of the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method for major selection of cryptocurrencies in advancing sustainability are still at an early stage. In particular, research on the fuzzy-MAGDM method in the evaluation of sustainability in cryptocurrencies is scarce.

Phase tuning of multiple Andreev reflections of Dirac fermions and the Josephson supercurrent in Al-MoTe-Al junctions.

When an electron is incident on a superconductor from a metal, it is reflected as a hole in a process called Andreev reflection. If the metal is sandwiched between two superconductors in an junction, multiple Andreev reflections (MARs) occur. We have found that, in junctions with high transparency ([Formula: see text]) based on the Dirac semimetal MoTe, the MAR features are observed with exceptional resolution.

3/2 fractional quantum Hall plateau in confined two-dimensional electron gas.

Even-denominator fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, such as 5/2 and 7/2, have been well known in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) for decades and are still investigated as candidates of non-Abelian statistics. In this paper, we present the observation of a 3/2 FQH plateau in a single-layer 2DEG with lateral confinement at a bulk filling factor of 5/3. The 3/2 FQH plateau is quantized at [Formula: see text] within 0.
