This article deepens in the differences in educational development between the Ecuadorian provinces and in their evolution over time by estimating the Provincial-level Education Index. This index is built using the micro-databases of the two latest rounds of the Ecuador`s Living Standards Measurement Survey (2005-2006 and 2013-2014). The results show an overall increase in the educational development of the Ecuadorian provinces, as well as a slight reduction in inequality. However, differences between them continue to exist. Underlying our results, which are consistent with the provincial production structure and socioeconomic context, some public policies seem to affect the educational sector, as their impact has been evidenced during the period covered in this research.

Digitalization has penetrated into every aspect of life. However, research on the mechanisms through which digitalization affects the equalization of basic public services, as well as the heterogeneity of its impact on different fields of these services, is still insufficient. Based on the panel data of 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2013 to 2023, this paper studies the mechanism and heterogeneity of the impact of digital development on the equalization of basic public services.

Introduction: () is a common foodborne pathogen in coastal areas of China. Most epidemiological studies on have focused on foodborne disease outbreaks, with fewer studies based on long-term, continuous, and systematic sentinel surveillance.
Methods: Data were collected from the national foodborne disease active surveillance program in 31 provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) in China from 2013 to 2022.

Objective: This study explores the associations between four macro-level factors-Economic Development (ED), Economic Inequality (EI), Governmental Willingness and capacities to invest in Public Health (GWPH) and Public Health-Related Infrastructures (PHRI)-and three mental health indicators: depressive symptoms, cognitive function and life satisfaction, among middle-aged and older adults in China.
Materials And Methods: We obtained individual-level data from the Harmonised China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (H-CHARLS) 2018 and acquired our provincial-level data from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook. Two-level linear mixed models are used to examine the associations.

() serves as a critical indicator microorganism for assessing the prevalence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance, notably harboring various antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). Among these, the emergence of the gene represents a significant threat to public health, especially since carbapenem antibiotics are vital for treating severe infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. This study aimed to characterize the antibiotic resistance features of -positive strains isolated from waterfowl in several regions of China and elucidate the dissemination patterns of the gene.

Metastasis is the major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mortality. But the effective biomarkers for HCC metastasis remain underexplored. Here we integrated GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) and TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) datasets to screen candidate genes for hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis, a consensus metastasis-derived prognostic signature (MDPS) was constructed by machine learning.
