Xingguang Piao — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 10:34:52 +0800

Aerosols, as suspended solid and liquid particles in the atmosphere, play a significant role in global climate change and environmental quality. This study utilizes global coarse-mode aerosol optical depth (CAOD) data from 2012 to 2021, derived through a deep learning model, to comprehensively analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of coarse-mode aerosols. The findings reveal that global CAOD values exhibit a fluctuating downward trend during the study period, with a more pronounced decline in the Northern Hemisphere, likely due to regional variations in climate change, desertification, and human activities. Spatially, regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia show higher CAOD values, associated with desert dust activity and anthropogenic emissions, whereas regions like South America, Australia, and Antarctica have lower CAOD values, attributed to their cleaner atmospheric conditions and minimal human activity. The complex CAOD variations in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are influenced by climatic conditions, topographical features, and the distribution of human activities. This study provides critical data for understanding the role of coarse-mode aerosols in global climate change and highlights the importance of considering geographical differences in aerosol distribution in climate change research. The study offers a scientific basis for formulating environmental policies and interventions. Future research will further explore the specific contributions of aerosol sources and their interaction mechanisms with climate change.

Given that evidence for meta-analysis on the association between parenting style and social behavior has been relatively sparse, this research will provide useful information for the field. This article presents a meta-analysis of the association between parenting style and social behavior in Chinese children. A total of 47 eligible studies with 98 independent effect sizes (54,448 participants) were included in this meta-analysis. First, the study conducted a random-effects meta-analysis to assess the association between parenting style (positive vs. negative) and social behavior (prosocial vs. aggressive). Next, the study performed moderation analyses based on the meta-regression analyses for the continuous variable (sex ratio) and the Q statistics for categorical variables of the publication period (i.e., development period, COVID-19 period). Results were that positive parenting style was positively correlated with prosocial behavior (r = 0.24, 95%CI[0.17,0.31], P < 0.001), whilst negative parenting style was negatively correlated with prosocial behavior (r = -0.10, 95%CI[-0.13,-0.06], P < 0.001). Positive parenting style was negatively correlated with aggressive behavior (r = -0.17, 95%CI[-0.21,0.-12], P < 0.001), whilst negative parenting style was positively correlated with aggressive behavior (r = 0.23, 95%CI[0.15,0.30], P < 0.001). These findings suggest that a positive parenting style should be applied as much as possible to shape children’s prosocial behavior, whilst a negative parenting style should not be applied to avoid aggressive behavior.

Juan Feng — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0800

In clinical work, nurses need to pay not only physical and mental labor but also emotional labor. This study recruited 163 nurses from 5 hospitals in China as the research object. Based on COR theory, this study aimed to explore the relationships between nurses’ emotional labor strategies, emotional exhaustion, and work-to-family conflict. Findings show that surface acting is indirectly related to work-to-family conflict via emotional exhaustion. While deep acting was unrelated to emotional exhaustion and work-to-family conflict. The results of this study enrich the literature on emotional labor and provide some suggestions to balance work-family conflict for nurses.
