Pollution of green space by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in education area may pose a potential impact on the faculty, students, and staffs. To study the characterization, influencing factors, sources and risks of soil PAHs in Beijing educational areas, the concentrations of 16 priority PAH identified by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in green spaces of 20 schools and academies were determined. The total PAHs concentration ranged from 194 microg x kg(-1) to 6 988 microg x kg(-1), with a mean of 1 637 microg x kg(-1). Middle and high molecular weight PAHs (4-6 rings) accounted for 85% of the total PAHs concentration. Coal combustion for winter heating and food supply were the main sources of PAHs in Beijing educational areas. Based on the Cluster analysis, the transportation and accumulation of NAP were distinguished from other 15 PAH congeners. No significant correlation between PAHs and soil organic matter (SOM) was found except for NAP, suggesting that most of the PAH congeners were derived from direct deposition of urban sources. The integrated lifetime cancer risks (ILCRs) associated with exposure to soil PAHs in Beijing educational areas were acceptable, but the indirect effects should not be ignored.

BSN Learning Pathways: A Leadership Collaboration to Prepare and Retain New Nurses in Specialized Practice Areas.
Nurs Leadersh (Tor Ont)
June 2025
Current nursing shortages, particularly in complex practice or specialty areas, coupled with high attrition rates of both seasoned and new graduate nurses, have required nursing leaders to consider creative approaches to recruit, prepare and retain nurses in specialty areas. This article describes a collaborative partnership between post-secondary institutions and health authorities in one province to address the need to prepare and retain nurses in high-priority specialized areas, such as the intensive care unit or the emergency department. This partnership allows for a proactive connection that leverages the strengths and resources of both healthcare and educational institutions.

Gosling gout disease is an infectious disease caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV), which can result in urate deposition in the internal organs and joints of goslings. Since 2015, outbreaks of gosling gout disease have occurred in several goose-producing areas in China. Subsequently, the disease spread to the vast majority of eastern China, becoming a major threat to goose farms and causing huge economic losses to the goose industry.

Malignant growth is expected to surpass other significant causes of death as one of the top reasons for dismalness and mortality worldwide. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) study, this illness causes approximately between 9 and 10 million instances of deaths annually. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are the three main methods of treating cancer.

Salt stress is an important factor affecting the growth and development of rice, and prohexadione calcium (Pro-Ca) plays an important role in alleviating rice salt stress and improving rice yield. However, there are few studies on how Pro-Ca improves rice yield under salt stress by regulating the source-sink metabolism. In this study, we used Guanghong 3 (salt-tolerant variety) and Huanghuazhan (salt-sensitive variety) as experimental materials to investigate the dynamic changes in the synthesis and partitioning of nonstructural carbohydrates among source-sink, the dynamic changes in related enzyme activities, the effects of the source-sink metabolism on yield in rice under salt stress and the effect of Pro-Ca during the filling period.
