    Abstract Objective: In recent years, faced with a complex economic development environment and the evolving dynamics of the Chinese workplace, talent has become a precious resource that is invaluable yet scarce for every enterprise. As Generation Z employees have gradually entered the labor market, they contribute new perspectives and energies to various enterprises and pose unique challenges. The traditional step-by-step approach no longer meets the needs of today's businesses. Companies require more proactive talents to drive superior performance. Individuals with proactive behavior can effectively plan their career paths and are better equipped to fulfill core organizational tasks. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to effectively mitigate the perceived negative impacts of proactive behavior, encouraging individuals to exhibit more positive proactive actions.
    Methods: Based on the proactive motivation model, this study investigates the effects of mentoring, balanced psychological contract, proactive behavior, and agreeableness on the proactive behaviors of new employees. The research surveyed 417 new employees from Guangdong Province, China, who had graduated within the last three years, with a gender distribution of 49.4% male and 50.6% female.
    Results: Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis, and the following results were obtained: First, mentoring positively affected the balanced psychological contract and new employees' proactive behavior. Second, mentoring positively affected the new employees' proactive behavior through the balanced psychological contract. Third, agreeableness played a moderating role in the relationship between mentoring and new employees' proactive behavior, and in the relationship between mentoring and the balanced psychological contracts. Finally, the positive indirect effect of mentoring through the balanced psychological contract on new employees' proactive behavior is positively moderated by agreeableness.
    Conclusion: The results of this study offer new insights into mentoring research for new employees and provide practical guidance for fostering the balanced psychological contract and proactive behavior among new employees. This research enriches the existing literature on mentoring for new employees by demonstrating the integral roles of agreeableness and a balanced psychological contract in fostering proactive behavior, offering valuable insights for organizational practices aimed at enhancing employee proactivity.

    Abstract Introduction: Hospital staff discussing smoking with children and their families can impact tobacco control, which is crucial in reducing the harmful effects of tobacco smoke exposure. Our study aims to assess staff comfort level in discussing smoking with patients or their families, and coworkers, after the implementation of a hospital-wide tobacco control policy.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2340 staff members who completed an anonymous online survey in a large urban children's hospital in 2019. The main outcomes of interest were the comfort level in discussing smoking with patients or their families, and co-workers. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify whether the comfort level varied by sex, age, job type, and smoking status.
    Results: Most of the respondents (83.8%) were female, 41.2% were aged 18-35 years, 57.6% worked as clinical staff, and 15.5% were ever smokers. Compared to males, females were less likely to feel very comfortable in asking patients or their families about their smoking tobacco (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=0.72; 95% CI: 0.56-0.92) or talking to co-workers about the health risks associated with their smoking (AOR=0.71; 95% CI: 0.54-0.93). Staff who were non-smokers were less likely to feel very comfortable in talking to co-workers about the health risks associated with their smoking (AOR=0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.78). The odds of feeling very comfortable in discussing smoking were consistently lower among those aged 18-35 years than their older counterparts. Clinical staff were more likely than non-clinical staff to feel very comfortable in discussing with patients and their parents about smoking, but there was no difference when talking to co-workers.
    Conclusions: We found differences in staff comfort level in discussing smoking with patients or their families, and coworkers, by sex, age, job type, and smoking status. These results can guide training and identify potential barriers and improve tailored tobacco control training programs and policies for hospital staff.

    Abstract Super-hydrophilic and oleophobic functional materials can prevent pollution or adsorption by repelling oil, and have good circulation. However, traditional strategies for preparing these functional materials either use expensive fabrication machines or contain possibly toxic organic polymers, which may prohibit the practical application. The research of multifunctional ZnO microstructures or nanoarrays thin films with super-hydrophilic, antifouling, and antibacterial properties has not been reported yet. Moreover, the exploration of underwater oleophobic and self-cleaning antifouling properties in ZnO micro/nanostructures is still in its infancy. Here, we prepared ZnO microstructured films on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrates (F-ZMF) for the development of advanced self-cleaning type super-hydrophilic and oleophobic materials. With the increase of the accelerators, the average size of the F-ZMF microstructures decreased. The F-ZMF shows excellent self-cleaning performance and hydrophilic (water contact angle ≤ 10°) and oleophobic characteristics in the underwater antifouling experiment. Under a dark condition, F-ZMF-4 showed good antibacterial effects against

    Abstract Background: The incidence rate of malignant tumors after solid organ transplantation is higher than the normal population. The aim of our study is to identify the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after liver, kidney, heart and lung transplantation, respectively, and suggest that transplant patients can be screened early for tumors to avoid risk.
    Methods: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library from their inception until August 16,2023. Retrospective and cohort studies which focus on the statistical data of standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of RCC after solid organ transplantation (SOT) more than one year have been included and extracted. The study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD4202022343633.
    Results: Sixteen original studies have been included for meta-analysis. Liver transplantation could increase the risk of RCC (SIR = 0.73, 95%CI: 0.53 to 0.93) with no heterogeneity(P = 0.594, I
    Conclusion: Liver, kidney, heart and lung transplantation patients have an increased risk of processing RCC compared to the general population and most subgroups, especially in geographic location of European subgroup, which suggested that patients should be screened frequently after transplantation.

    Abstract Using appropriate zooplankton to transfer the primary productivity of harmful algae to higher trophic levels through food chain is an eco-friendly mode to remove harmful algae. To assess the top-down efficiency of rotifer removing Phaeocystis and the salinity effect, we adopted a series of salinities to carry out Phaeocystis-rotifer population dynamics and rotifer life-history experiments. Results showed that the time for rotifers to remove Phaeocystis population was the shortest when the salinity was ≤20 ‰. With salinity rising to above 25 ‰, although the clearance time of Phaeocystis population by rotifer was significantly prolonged, ultimately the Phaeocystis population were almost completely eliminated at all salinities. Additionally, rotifer matured and reproduced earlier at low salinity, while high salinity significantly delayed first reproductive time and decreased the total offspring. The above findings are helpful to assess the impacts of external environmental factors on the application of zooplankton to control harmful algae.

    Abstract Certain dietary and physical activity (PA) behaviors may differentially predispose male and female adolescents to obesity and diabetes; however, sex differences in dietary and PA behaviors and in factors that impact these behaviors (e.g., self-efficacy, social support) in this population remain unknown. Using data from a community-based adolescent diabetes prevention intervention conducted in East Harlem in New York City, we examined sex differences in baseline characteristics including clinical measurements, lifestyle behaviors, and behavioral determinants. Among 147 overweight/obese adolescents aged 13-19 years, 61.9% were girls, 69.7% were of Hispanic ethnicity, 24.8% were non-Hispanic Black, and 60.5% were diagnosed with prediabetes. Boys had higher metabolic risk scores than girls (3.8 vs. 3.3, p = 0.002) despite girls reporting more perceived barriers to healthy eating and PA. Boys reported doing more moderate to vigorous PA but also had more sedentary behaviors than girls. Boys reported higher self-efficacy and more peer support for PA. Girls reported more depressive symptoms and were more likely to compare their body images to those in magazines/social media. Overall, among a sample of urban adolescents with high metabolic risk, we found significant sex differences in many dietary and PA behaviors and related factors, which could be used to inform tailored strategies for weight management to reduce cardiometabolic risk among youth from similar high-risk populations.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely damaged the global industrial supply chain and accelerated the digital transformation of the global economy. In such rapidly changing environments, multinational corporations (MNCs) should encourage employees to be more innovative in various fields than ever before. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees have become psychologically anxious, their working conditions have deteriorated, and they are in danger of losing their jobs. In this study, we aim to address the question of whether servant leadership facilitates the innovative behavior of employees working in emerging-market MNCs when servant leadership is adopted within the firms. In addition, we explore the mediating roles of work-life balance and psychological stability perceived by employees, and the moderating role of organizational climate in the relationship between servant leadership and MNC employees' innovative behavior. In doing so, we collected data from a sample of 307 Chinese employees who are employed by five different Chinese MNCs from the Internet, information technology, electronics, and e-commerce industries. Based on a sample of survey data collected from employees of Chinese MNCs, we empirically test these ideas by specifically examining how servant leadership may shape the innovation behavior of employees in these MNCs. The results suggest that servant leadership positively influences employees' innovative behavior, and that the contribution of servant leadership to employees' innovative behavior is mediated by work-life balance and psychological stability as well as moderated by the degree of organizational climate. Moreover, the different organizational climates of these MNC employees are also expected to significantly shape the relationship between servant leadership and employees' innovative behavior. This study enriches our understanding of the importance of servant leadership in driving the innovative behaviors of employees in emerging-market MNCs and provides new insights into the mechanisms through which emerging-market MNCs can motivate their employees to be more innovative in their jobs. Thus, this study contributes to the research on human resource management by offering important implications vis-à-vis how MNCs manage their employees more effectively in addressing and responding to the dramatically changing global landscape in the post COVID-19 era.

    Abstract Objectives: Traditional epidural test dose is somewhat unsuited in obstetrics because of potential risk of severe adverse effects when it is accidentally injected into the subarachnoid space. Some hospitals use a proportion of the total dose of epidural labor analgesia as a test dose. The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of ropivacaine 5 mg with sufentanil 2.5 μg to detect intrathecal injection. Methods: This prospective randomized study enrolled parturients who had the demand for epidural labor analgesia and randomly divided them into two groups. Then, 5 mL of 0.1% ropivacaine with sufentanil 2.5 μg was injected into the epidural space or the subarachnoid space in the epidural (EP) group and the intrathecal (IT) group, respectively. The ability to detect intrathecal injection and side effects were assessed to work out the effectiveness and safety. Results: For spinal injection, the sensitivity and the specificity of the symptoms of either warmth or numbness or both assessed at 3 min were both 100%, and the observed negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) were 100%. All parturients in the IT group and 2.33% of parturients in the EP group had sensory blockade to cold or pinprick (p < 0.0001). A total of 77.55% (38 of 49) of parturients in the IT group were found to have a motor block. A 10 min assessment showed the median cephalad cold and pin levels were T8 and T10, respectively, and the median Bromage score was 4 in the IT group. Incidences of adverse effects in both groups were low. Conclusions: Ropivacaine 5 mg with sufentanil 2.5 μg is effective and safe to detect intrathecal injection as an epidural test dose in obstetric patients.

    Abstract AbstractRecent studies have revealed that the Kerivoula depressa complex should be divided into two species, K. depressa distributed mainly in Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and K. dongduongana found only in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. In November 2018 and April 2019, 24 woolly bats were collected by two-band harp traps in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Based on morphological, morphometric, and phylogenetic (COI, Cytb, and RAG2 gene sequences) analyses, these bats were identified as K. depressa and K. dongduongana, representing two new species records for the country. Including the new records, six Kerivoula species have been recorded in China, namely K. depressa, K. dongduongana, K. furva, K. kachinensis, K. picta and K. titania. To facilitate their identification and biological research in the future, we have provided an up-to-date key to all Kerivoula species occurring in China.
