Article Synopsis
- Environmental awareness drives individuals to engage in environmentally protective behaviors, and social media, particularly WeChat, can enhance this awareness among users.
- A study using data from the 2018 China General Social Survey reveals that frequent WeChat users have significantly higher levels of environmental awareness compared to infrequent users, highlighting a varying impact based on user engagement.
- The research emphasizes that WeChat functions not just as a communication tool but as part of users' social networks, suggesting that targeted strategies utilizing these networks could effectively increase environmental awareness and foster sustainable actions.
Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment is a significant issue for individuals with depressive disorders, making it crucial to understand its characteristics for rehabilitation purposes.
- The study analyzed data from 1,855 participants, showing that those with depression scored lower on cognitive assessments compared to those without depression, and that depression status can affect cognitive function.
- Factors such as early psychological health, quality of life, age, sex, education, residence, employment, and marital status all influence cognitive performance in individuals with depression.
Article Synopsis
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is linked to the gut’s epithelial barrier, and irisin, a hormone related to exercise, may help maintain this barrier, potentially delaying the onset of T1D.
- Impaired gut barriers were found in new T1D patients and NOD mice, with inflammation worsening over time, and experiments showed that adding irisin improved gut health and reduced autoimmune symptoms.
- Irisin was shown to strengthen gut tight junctions via specific biological pathways, suggesting its use in therapies to prevent T1D progression and manage related autoimmune disorders.
Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a cylindrical vector beam (CVB) sorter based on a spin-dependent spiral transformation. By exploiting the spin-orbital interaction of the geometric phase, a pair of conjugated spiral transformations are applied to modulate the two orthogonal circularly polarized components of the CVB, which are converted into the same linear phase gradient from opposite azimuthal phase gradients. Since the orthogonal spin components of CVBs with different polarization orders carry different phase gradients, under the convergence of a convex lens, the coaxially transmitted CVBs can be sorted with spatially separated positions, and the increased phase gradient provided by the spiral transformation yields the high resolution.
