Structural design usually adopts uniform temperature action. However, during the actual construction of the structure, the temperature field acting on the structure is inhomogeneous. Therefore, the simulation of the construction of statically indeterminate steel structures considering only the uniform temperature field cannot truly reflect the temperature action after structural molding and the evolution of the stress performance of the temporary stress system of structural construction.

Straw return plays a vital role in crop yield and sustainable agriculture. Extensive research has focused on the potential to enhance soil fertility and crop yield through straw return. However, the potential impacts of straw return on saline-sodic soils have been relatively neglected due to the unfavorable characteristics of saline-sodic soils, such as high salinity, poor structure, and low nutrient contents, which are not conducive to crop growth.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by (), remains one of the leading infectious causes of death globally, with drug resistance presenting a significant challenge to control efforts. The interplay between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and TB introduces additional complexity, as T2DM triples the risk of active TB and exacerbates drug resistance development. This review explores how T2DM-induced metabolic and immune dysregulation fosters the survival of , promoting persistence and the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains.
