Green credit policy and energy consumption intensity in China: Firm-level evidence and insights.

The transition to sustainable development has become a global priority, with energy transformation serving as a key component. In this context, green financial instruments play a crucial role in shaping corporate energy-saving behaviors and promoting sustainable development. This paper examines the impact and mechanism of China's first green credit policy (GCP) on energy consumption intensity (ECI) of manufacturing firms in China, using a difference-in-difference (DID) approach with micro-level data (2004-2009).

Linking adolescents' phubbing to depression: the serial mediating effects of peer relationship quality and psychological need frustration.

Introduction: Phubbing is defined as a phenomenon in which individuals use their smartphones during conversations with others, focusing on the smartphones and escaping from interpersonal interactions. This phenomenon has been extensively studied in the literature. However, most studies concerning phubbing have focused on understanding its impact on the receivers; few have investigated the consequences of phubbing on the actors themselves.

Evaluating the health risk of probiotic supplements from the perspective of antimicrobial resistance.

Unlabelled: Antimicrobial resistance remains a public health threat. Probiotics harboring antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs) have, in recent years, been considered a potential health risk. Studies conducted on probiotics from increasingly popular health supplements have raised the possibility of transmitting ARGs to commensals in the human gut, concomitantly establishing a reservoir of ARGs and risking acquisition by opportunistic pathogens.

Revolutionizing Fingerprint Detection: Ce Doped SiO-ZrO:Sr Nanocomposites with Enhanced Luminescence and Selectivity.

Even though fingerprints remain one of the most reliable methods of identification, they are often lost during the recovery process. Accurate fingerprint recognition depends on the contrast between the ridges and substrate. On tough surfaces, such as glossy, colorful, and patterned materials, the contrast is harder to establish.

Toward Efficient Hydrogen Generation Using Nickel-Molybdenum Catalyst and Its Environmental Sustainability.

In this study, a catalyst with Ni-Mo combination was synthesized using the electric heating/reductive tempering method. Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium molybdate were combined in a ratio of 1.1 in this approach.

Securing consensus in fractional-order multi-agent systems: Algebraic approaches against Byzantine attacks.

This paper investigates the behavior of fractional-order nonlinear multi-agent systems subjected to Byzantine assaults, specifically focusing on the manipulations of both sensors and actuators. We employ weighted graphs, both directed and undirected, to illustrate the system's topology. Our methodology combines algebraic graph theory with fractional-order Lyapunov techniques to develop algebraic requirements for leader-following consensus, providing a robust framework for analyzing consensus dynamics in these complex systems.

Band Gap Engineering of Binary and Cobalt-Doped PbS Thin Films Integrated by SILAR Method for Optoelectronic Potentials.

Thin films of PbS, both undoped and cobalt-doped (Co-PbS), were produced on glass substrates using the straightforward and controllable approach of sequential ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The reactive substances employed to deposit the PbS thin films were lead nitrate (Pb(NO)), cobalt nitrate (Co(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₆), sodium thiosulphate (NaSO) and HO for different dipping concentrations of lead and cobalt. The films were adherent to the substrate and were compact, and crack-free with a shiny silver color.

Kinetic and Isothermal Analysis of the Adsorptive Elimination of Direct Yellow 26 Dye Utilizing Activated Bioadsorbent From Textile Effluent.

Due to their widespread usage in recent years, synthetic dyes may be difficult to remove and pose a health concern. Bioadsorbents proved a low-cost and sustainable method for dye removal. In this study, straight yellow 26 is extracted from textile effluent using sugarcane bagasse.

Toxic Dye Degradation Employing Phoenix dactylifera Seed Extract for the Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Characterization and Application.

This research highlights the facile green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Phoenix dactylifera seed extracts and its photocatalytic application for the degradation of toxic dyes. The AgNPs synthesis was confirmed by the appearance of its representative absorption peak at 416 nm in UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, the reduction of silver ions to Ag was justified through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Constructing ZnO/NiO Nanocomposites as a Photocatalyst and Investigating Photocatalytic Effectiveness for Wastewater Treatment.

The goal of the present work is to create ZnO/NiO nanocomposites (NCs) for the photocatalytic destruction of organic contaminants using the co-precipitation technique. To investigate physiochemical characteristics, FT-IR, UV visible spectroscopy, SEM, and XRD were used. The ZnO hexagonal phase and the NiO cubic phase in the ZnO/NiO NCs were verified by the diffraction pattern.

Augmenting mindfulness training through neurofeedback: a pilot study of the pre-post changes on resting-state functional connectivity in typically developing adolescents.

Background: Mindfulness training has been shown to promote positive mental health outcomes and related changes in neural networks such as the default mode network, which has a central node in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). Previous work from our group reported on the impact of a novel, neurofeedback augmented mindfulness training (NAMT) task on regulation of PCC hemodynamic activity in typically developing adolescents. The present pilot study aimed to expand on this finding by examining the pre-post changes of the NAMT task on resting-state functional connectivity of the PCC.

E. coli-Assisted Eco-Friendly Production of Biogenic Silver Cobalt Oxide (AgCoO) Nanoparticles: Methanolysis-Based Hydrogen Production, Wastewater Remediation, and Pathogen Control.

Herein, bacterial-assisted synthesis of AgCoO is carried out. In the first step, E. coli was separated from soil samples via the "serial dilution method.

Hypoxia stress: plant's sensing, responses, and tolerance mechanisms.

Oxygen (O) is an inhibiting factor for plant growth and development in submerged and flooding environments. Plants experience different O concentrations, such as normoxia, hypoxia, and anoxia, which can change over space and time. Plants have evolved various morphological, physiological, and biochemical adaptations to withstand low O stress, many of which have been well investigated.

People in relationally mobile cultures report higher well-being.

In cultures with high relational mobility, relationships are free and flexible. People can make new friends easily, and they have the freedom to leave unsatisfying relationships. In cultures with low relational mobility, relationships are more fixed, and people have less freedom to leave relationships.

Toward self-regulated learning: effects of different types of data-driven feedback on pupils' mathematics word problem-solving performance.

Introduction: Mathematical word problems refer to word problems where the information that is presented needs to be integrated, typically into a mathematical formula, to arrive at a solution to the problem. When solving mathematics word problems, elementary school students often have difficulties improving their performance due to a lack of self-regulated learning (SRL). However, SRL can be developed by adopting an appropriate teaching approach which offers quantitative feedback or learning prompts.

Pangolin scales as adaptations for innate immunity against pathogens.

Background: Pangolins are the only mammals that have overlapping scales covering most of their bodies, and they play a crucial role in the ecosystem, biological research, and human health and disease. Previous studies indicated pangolin scale might provide an important mechanical defense to themselves. The origin and exact functions of this unique trait remain a mystery.

Co-culture of rice and aquatic animals enhances soil organic carbon: A meta-analysis.

Co-culture of rice (Oryza sativa) and aquatic animals (CRAAs) is an efficient eco-agricultural model and has been widely implemented in many Asia countries. However, its impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) content has not been synthesized and the relative effects of different CRAAs practices on SOC have not been assessed. Our meta-analysis aims to synthesize the effect of diverse CRAAs regimes on SOC content based on results from 200 field experiments.
