    Abstract This study employs a modified cognitive mediation model to investigate the role of health valuation and fear in shaping media attention, factual knowledge, and perceived familiarity with COVID-19 contact tracing apps. Data were collected from a national survey of 906 Singaporeans, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the results. Findings indicated that both fear of COVID-19 and health valuation were positively associated with newspapers, television, and social media attention, with health valuation demonstrating a stronger association with each media type. This suggests that health valuation, as an intrinsic motivation, is more critical in information-seeking behavior related to emerging health technologies. However, media attention on all platforms did not correlate with factual knowledge of COVID-19 contact tracing apps, whereas attention to social media was positively associated with perceived familiarity with these apps. This result highlights the potential influence of social media in shaping public perceptions, warranting further investigation into the quality and accuracy of the information disseminated. News elaboration was found to have a positive association with both factual knowledge and perceived familiarity with COVID-19 contact tracing apps. This underscores the need for effective communication strategies to promote accurate understanding of health technologies and emphasizes the role of individual motivations in shaping media consumption and information processing.

    Abstract The advancement of health apps and wearables has garnered substantial academic attention, particularly in examining why individuals decide to use or not use them. In response to the extensive body of research on this topic, we conducted a scoping review of 61 articles published from 2007 to 2022, aiming to examine the dominant theoretical frameworks and antecedents of health apps and wearables use. The findings demonstrated that the dominant theoretical frameworks within this domain were rooted in the human-computer interaction theories, notably the Technology Acceptance Model and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Next, our review identified four levels of antecedents: technological, individual, societal, and policy. At the technological level, emphasis was placed on functionality, reliability, and technological infrastructure. Individual antecedents encompassed socio-demographics, personality traits, cognitive responses to benefits and risks, emotional and affective responses, self-efficacy, and digital literacy. Societal antecedents highlighted the role of social networks and social norms, while policy antecedents elaborated on laws, regulations, and guidelines that encouraged health technology adoption. Our discussion illuminated that the evolving trend of theoretical frameworks in health apps and wearables use research, initially rooted in human-computer interaction, is progressively moving toward more comprehensive perspectives. We further underscored the importance of delving into societal and policy antecedents, which often are overshadowed by the more commonly discussed technological and individual factors. In conclusion, we advocated for a multi-stakeholder collaborative network approach, as this would enable communication researchers to understand the use of health apps and wearables more comprehensively.

    Abstract The ecological risks of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) to soil invertebrates at different organismal levels remains limited. This study comprehensively explored the ecological risks of biochar-derived DOM on earthworm gut through assessments of enzyme activity response, histopathology, gut microbiomes, and metabolomics.

    Abstract This study examines the proliferation of COVID-19 misinformation through Plandemic-a pseudo-documentary of COVID-19 conspiracy theories-on social media and examines how factors such as (a) themes of misinformation, (b) types of misinformation, (c) sources of misinformation, (d) emotions of misinformation, and (e) fact-checking labels amplify or attenuate online misinformation during the early days of the pandemic. Using CrowdTangle, a Facebook API, we collected a total of 5732 publicly available Facebook pages posts containing Plandemic-related keywords from January 1 to December 19, 2020. A random sample of 600 posts was subsequently coded, and the data were analyzed using negative binomial regression to examine factors associated with amplification and attenuation. Overall, the extended an extended Social Amplification of Risk Framework (SARF) provided a theoretical lens to understand why certain misinformation was amplified, while others were attenuated. As for posts with misinformation, results showed that themes related to private firms, treatment and prevention of virus transmission, diagnosis and health impacts, virus origins, and social impact were more likely to be amplified. While the different types of misinformation (manipulated, fabricated, or satire) and emotions were not associated with amplification, the type of fact-check labels did influence the virality of misinformation. Specifically, posts that were flagged as false by Facebook were more likely to be amplified, while the virality of posts flagged as containing partially false information was attenuated. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

    Abstract This research aimed to investigate the alterations in extracellular (eARGs) and intracellular (iARGs) antibiotic resistance genes in response to oxytetracycline (OTC), and unravel the dissemination mechanism of ARGs during composting. The findings revealed both low (L-OTC) and high contents (H-OTC) of OTC significantly enhanced absolute abundance (AA) of iARGs (p < 0.05), compared to CK (no OTC). Composting proved to be a proficient strategy for removing eARGs, while AA of eARGs was significantly enhanced in H-OTC (p < 0.05). OTC resulted in an increase in AA of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), ATP levels, antioxidant and DNA repair enzymes in bacteria in compost product. Structural equation model further demonstrated that OTC promoted bacterial DNA repair and antioxidant enzyme activities, altered bacterial community and enhanced MGEs abundance, thereby facilitating iARGs dissemination. This study highlights OTC can increase eARGs and iARGs abundance, underscoring the need for appropriate countermeasures to mitigate potential hazards.

    Abstract Riparian sediment is a hot zone for denitrification that can withhold copper and microplastics (MPs) from outside. It has been proven that MPs affect denitrification and the existing forms of copper in the environment. However, the impact of copper on sediment denitrification under exposure to MPs remains unclear. This study revealed the response of sediment denitrification to copper availability under the adsorption of MPs and the complexation of MP-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM). These results showed that MP accumulation inhibited denitrification. However, aged MPs increased the activity of nitrite reductase (12.64%), nitrogen dioxide reductase (37.68%), and electron transport (28.93%) compared with pristine MPs. The aging behavior of MPs alleviated 28.18% nitrite accumulation and 16.41-118.35% nitrous oxide emissions. Thus, the aging behavior of MPs alleviated the inhibition of denitrification. Notably, we resolved the copper ion adsorption and complexation by MPs, MP-derived DOM contributed to the denitrification process, and we found that the key nitrogen removal factors were affected by K

    Abstract In this research, it was the first time to investigate the effect of two dosages (5% (T1) and 10% (T2), w/w) of calcium peroxide (CP) on organic matter degradation, humification during sewage sludge composting. Additionally, the complexation of Cu to humic substance (HS) derived from CP-compost compared to no CP addition-compost (CK) was also studied. Results showed that compared to CK, T1 and T2 significantly enhanced organic matter degradation and promoted the formation of HS. Two-dimensional correlation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS) and Parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis revealed that the addition of CP accelerated the synthesis of HS with high aromatization degree and molecular weight than those in CK, owing to the oxidation of small molecules to form carboxyl.
