    Abstract Universal fact-checking systems for real-world claims face significant challenges in gathering valid and sufficient real-time evidence and making reasoned decisions. In this work, we introduce the Open-domain Explainable Fact-checking (OE-Fact) system for claim-checking in real-world scenarios. The OE-Fact system can leverage the powerful understanding and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to validate claims and generate causal explanations for fact-checking decisions. To adapt the traditional three-module fact-checking framework to the open domain setting, we first retrieve claim-related information as relevant evidence from open websites. After that, we retain the evidence relevant to the claim through LLM and similarity calculation for subsequent verification. We evaluate the performance of our adapted three-module OE-Fact system on the Fact Extraction and Verification (FEVER) dataset. Experimental results show that our OE-Fact system outperforms general fact-checking baseline systems in both closed- and open-domain scenarios, ensuring stable and accurate verdicts while providing concise and convincing real-time explanations for fact-checking decisions.

    Abstract Background: A healthy lifestyle is an important factor for preventing heart failure. However, the association between outdoor light exposure time and heart failure is still unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association between outdoor light exposure time and the incidence of heart failure.
    Methods and results: This cohort study included participants from the UK Biobank recruited from 2006 to 2010 who were 40 to 70 years of age and free of heart failure at baseline. The mean follow-up time was 12.61 years. The outdoor light exposure time was self-reported at baseline. A restricted cubic spline was performed to examine the potential nonlinear relationship between outdoor light exposure and the incidence of heart failure. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. During a mean follow-up of 12.61 years, 13 789 participants were first diagnosed with heart failure. There was a nonlinear (J-shaped) trend between outdoor light time and heart failure risk. Cox proportional hazard regression models showed that, compared with participants who received an average of 1.0 to 2.5 hours of outdoor light per day, those with <1.0 hours or >2.5 hours had a higher risk of heart failure after the model was adjusted for age and sex (<1.0 hours: HR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.18-1.36]; >2.5 hours: HR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.07-1.15]). These associations were still significant in the fully adjusted models (<1.0 hours: HR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.03-1.18]; >2.5 hours: HR, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.03-1.11]).
    Conclusions: We found a J-shaped association between outdoor light exposure time and the risk of incident heart failure, suggesting that moderate exposure to outdoor light may be a prevention strategy for heart failure.

    Abstract Background: An association between sweetened beverages and several cardiometabolic diseases has been reported, but their association with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), artificially sweetened beverages (ASB), and pure fruit juice (PJ) and risk of consumption with AF risk and further evaluate whether genetic susceptibility modifies these associations.
    Methods: A total of 201 856 participants who were free of baseline AF, had genetic data available, and completed a 24-hour diet questionnaire were included. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
    Results: During a median follow-up of 9.9 years, 9362 incident AF cases were documented. Compared with nonconsumers, individuals who consumed >2 L/wk of SSB or ASB had an increased risk of AF (HR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.01-1.20] and HR, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.10-1.31]) in the multivariable-adjusted model. A negative association was observed between the consumption of ≤1 L/wk of PJ and the risk of AF (HR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.87-0.97]). The highest HRs (95% CIs) of AF were observed for participants at high genetic risk who consumed >2 L/wk of ASB (HR, 3.51 [95% CI, 2.94-4.19]), and the lowest HR were observed for those at low genetic risk who consumed ≤1 L/wk of PJ (HR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.65-0.92]). No significant interactions were observed between the consumption of SSB, ASB, or PJ and genetic predisposition to AF.
    Conclusions: Consumption of SSB and ASB at >2 L/wk was associated with an increased risk for AF. PJ consumption ≤1 L/wk was associated with a modestly lower risk for AF. The association between sweetened beverages and AF risk persisted after adjustment for genetic susceptibility to AF. This study does not demonstrate that consumption of SSB and ASB alters AF risk but rather that the consumption of SSB and ASB may predict AF risk beyond traditional risk factors.

    Abstract Background and aims: To investigate the associations of ideal cardiovascular health metrics (ICVHMs) with all-cause mortality among former and current smokers compared with never smokers.
    Methods and results: A total of 378,147 participants [mean age (SD) years: 56.3 (8.1); 47.2 % men] were included from the UK Biobank cohort. The ICVHMs were combined Life's simple 7 from the American Heart Association and sleep duration time. The association was explored using COX regression models. During a median follow-up of 13.3 years, we documented 24,594 deaths. Compared with never smokers, among former smokers, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality was 1.82 (95%CI 1.71-1.92) for participants who had ≤2 ICVHMs and 1.03 (0.97-1.10) for participants who had ≥6 ICVHMs; among current smokers, the HRs for mortality were 2.74 (2.60-2.89) and 2.18 (1.78-2.67). The phenomenon was more pronounced among participants younger than 60 years [HR (95%CI), 1.82 (1.71-1.95) for ≤2 ICVHMs vs 1.04 (0.96-1.12) for ≥6 ICVHMs with age ≥60 years and 1.83 (1.62-2.06) vs 0.98 (0.88-1.11) with age <60 years among former smokers; 2.66 (2.49-2.85) vs 2.44 (1.84-3.24) with age ≥60 years and 2.85 (2.62-3.10) vs 1.96 (1.47-2.61) with age <60 years among current smokers]. In addition, the HR for mortality of each 1-number increment in ICVHMs was 0.87 (0.86-0.89) among former smokers and 0.91 (0.89-0.94) among current smokers.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicated the importance of adherence to have more ICVHMs in the mortality risk among former smokers, and priority of smoking cessation in current smokers.
    Implications: Studies have found that former smokers still have higher risks of lung cancer and all-cause mortality than never-smokers. The next question is whether the effects of previous or current smoking could be ameliorated by eight ideal cardiovascular health metrics (ICVHMs). We aim to explore whether ICVHMs may counteract the risk of all-cause mortality among former and current smokers. The results showed that only former smokers with ≥6 ICVHMs exhibited a comparable risk of all-cause mortality with never smokers. Furthermore, current smokers even having ≥6 ICVHMs still exhibited a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared with never smokers.

    Abstract An efficient carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), which reduces CO 2 to low-carbon fuels and high-value chemicals, is a promising approach for realizing the goal of carbon neutrality, for which effective but low-cost catalysts are critically important. Recently, many inorganic perovskite-based materials with tunable chemical compositions have been applied in the electrochemical CO 2 RR, which exhibited advanced catalytic performance. Therefore, a timely review of this progress, which has not been reported to date, is imperative. Herein, the physicochemical characteristics, fabrication methods and applications of inorganic perovskites and their derivatives in electrochemical CO 2 RR are systematically reviewed, with emphasis on the structural evolution and product selectivity of these electrocatalysts. What is more, the current challenges and future directions of perovskite-based materials regarding efficient CO 2 RR are proposed, to shed light on the further development of this prospective research area.

    Abstract The use of natural pyrite as a catalyst for the treatment of recalcitrant organic wastewater by an electro-Fenton system (pyrite-EF) has recently received extensive attention. To improve the catalytic activity of natural pyrite (Py), magnetic pyrite (MPy), and pyrrhotite (Pyr), they were obtained by heat treatment, and the nanoparticles were obtained by ball milling. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray electron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The degradation performance of rhodamine B (Rhb) by heterogeneous catalysts was tested under the pyrite-EF system. The effects of optimal pH, catalyst concentration, and current density on mineralization rate and mineralization current efficiency were explored. The results showed that the heat treatment caused the phase transformation of pyrite and increased the relative content of ferrous ions. The catalytic performance was MPy > Py > Pyr, and the Rhb degradation process conformed to pseudo-first-order kinetics. Under the optimum conditions of 1 g L −1 MPy, an initial pH of five, and a current density of 30 mA cm −2 , the degradation rate and TOC removal rate of Rhb wastewater reached 98.25% and 77.06%, respectively. After five cycles of recycling, the chemical activity of MPy was still higher than that of pretreated Py. The main contribution to Rhb degradation in the system was <semantics> • OH </semantics> radical, followed by <semantics> SO 4 • − </semantics> , and the possible catalytic mechanism of MPy catalyst in the pyrite-EF system was proposed.
