    Abstract Soils are a valuable resource with life activity in terrestrial ecosystem, and soil health and its sustainable management are becoming a major focus of global concern. A healthy soil is a "harmonious social system", which should have good structure, functional state, and buffering performance to maintain the dynamic balance of soil ecosystem. Soil health has become the frontier of soil science. The development of theoretical and practical approaches for soil health evaluation and management is urgently needed. Therefore, further research is needed to develop new techniques and methods for soil health research, construct soil health index and evaluation system, clarify the mechanism and spatial-temporal pattern of soil health conservation, and establish soil health protection and cultivation technology, which would provide scientific and technological support for soil resource protection and sustainable utilization.

    Abstract Inadequate information sharing and difficult information diffusion are the main factors that cause upstream and downstream enterprises to default on supply chain finance. Blockchain technology, which exploits distributed storage and a consensus mechanism, can provide effective solutions to overcome these problems such as information sharing. When blockchain technology is adopted by the enterprises that comprise the supply chain finance business, this technology shows a diffusion trend. As a result, the decision pertaining to the application of novel technologies is affected. Therefore, to investigate the diffusion mechanism pertaining to the blockchain technology that is applied in supply chain finance, the study exploited the idea of a class of SEIR infectious disease models, and built a blockchain model that considers the supply chain financial system. Besides, the study verifies the stability of the model by constructing a Lyapunov function. The results indicate that the basic reproduction number determines the proliferation of the blockchain technology. When the basic reproduction number is less than 1, the proliferation of the blockchain technology that is applied in supply chain finance system would terminate. By contrast, when the basic reproduction number is greater than 1, during the average infection period, the number of non-adopting enterprises that accept the blockchain technology becomes greater than 1, which can maintain a continuous impact on supply chain finance system. Over time, the number of enterprises that accept blockchain technology tends to be stable. Through numerical simulations that consider the influencing parameters pertaining to the basic regeneration number, which has important effect on blockchain technology diffusion, we enlarge the diffusion efficiency and increase the transfer rate of potential on-chain enterprises or decrease the default exit rate. As a result, we facilitate the diffusion of blockchain technology in the system.

    Abstract Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is posing serious threats to soil ecosystems and its bioremediation usually limited by environmental factors and microbial activity. Humic acid (HA), a ubiquitous heterogeneous organic matter, which could affect the fate of environmental pollutants. However, the impact of HA on bioremediation of organic contamination remains controversial. In the present study, the biodegradation of BaP by Paracoccus aminovorans HPD-2 with and without HA was explored. Approximately 87.4 % of BaP was biodegraded in the HPD-2 treatment after 5 days of incubation, whereas the addition of HA dramatically reduced BaP biodegradation to 56.0 %. The limited BaP biodegradation in the HA + HPD-2 treatment was probably due to the decrease of BaP bioavailability which induced by the adsorption of HA with unspecific interactions. The excitation-emission matrix (EEM) of fluorescence characteristics showed that strain HPD-2 was responsible for the presence of protein-like substances and the microbial original humic substances in the HPD-2 treatment. Addition of HA would result in the increase of soluble microbial humic-like material, which should ascribe to the biodegradation of BaP and probably utilization of HA. Furthermore, both the growth and survival of strain HPD-2 were inhibited in the HA + HPD-2 treatment, because of the limited available carbon source (i.e. BaP) at the presence of HA. The expression of gene1789 and gene2589 dramatically decreased in the HA + HPD-2 treatment, and this should be responsible for the decrease of BaP biodegradation as well. This study reveals the mechanism that HA affect the BaP biodegradation, and the decrease of biodegradation should ascribe to the interaction of HA and bacterial strain. Thus, the bioremediation strategies of PAHs need to consider the effects of organic matter in environment.

    Abstract Root exudates are the main media of information communication and energy transfer between plant roots and the surrounding environment. The change in secretion of root exudates is usually an external detoxification strategy for plants under stress conditions. This protocol aims to introduce general guidelines for the collection of alfalfa root exudates to study the impact of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on metabolite production. First, alfalfa seedlings are grown under DEHP stress in a hydroponic culture experiment. Second, the plants are transferred to centrifuge tubes containing 50 mL of sterilized ultrapure water for 6 h to collect root exudates. The solutions are then freeze-dried in a vacuum freeze dryer. The frozen samples are extracted and derivatized with bis(trimethylsilyl)) trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) reagent. Subsequently, the derivatized extracts are measured using a gas chromatograph system coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (GC-TOF-MS). The acquired metabolite data are then analyzed based on bioinformatic methods. Differential metabolites and significantly changed metabolism pathways should be deeply explored to reveal the impact of DEHP on alfalfa in view of root exudates.

    Abstract Fomesafen, a long residual diphenyl ether herbicide, is widely used for control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in peanut and soybean fields. With the development of agricultural production mechanization in China, the application of fomesafen has been rising. Long-term and large-scale application leads to obvious residues in the soil. As a consequence, the resulting ecological and environmental problems need urgent attention from the agricultural and environmental protection departments. We systematically reviewed the research progress about the residual characteristics, ecotoxicological effects and abatement process of fomesafen in farmland soil, and proposed some prospects from the residual formation mechanisms, safe application limit standard, abatement mechanism and technology, aiming to provide some new insights and ideas for solving the problem of residual injury of fomesafen.

    Abstract Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) are both diseases that can seriously affect a patient's quality of life and generate economic pressure in society. Symptomatically, both DLU and CLE exhibit delayed healing and excessive inflammation; however, there is little evidence to support a molecular and cellular connection between these two diseases. In this study, we investigated potential common characteristics between DFU and CLE at the molecular level to provide new insights into skin diseases and regeneration, and identify potential targets for the development of new therapies. The gene expression profiles of DFU and CLE were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and used for analysis. A total of 41 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 16 upregulated genes and 25 downregulated genes, were identified between DFU and CLE. GO and KEGG analysis showed that abnormalities in epidermal cells and the activation of inflammatory factors were both involved in the occurrence and development of DFU and CLE. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and sub-module analysis identified enrichment in seven common key genes which is

    Abstract "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls" is essential to reduce gender disparity and improve the status of women. But it remains a challenge to narrow gender differences and improve gender equality in academic research. In this paper, we propose that the impact of articles is lower and writing style of articles is less positive when the article's first author is female relative to male first authors, and writing style mediates this relationship. Focusing on the positive writing style, we attempt to contribute and explain the research on gender differences in research performance. We use BERT-based textual sentiment analysis to analyse 87 years of 9820 articles published in the top four marketing journals and prove our hypotheses. We also consider a set of control variables and conduct a set of robustness checks to ensure the robustness of our findings. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of our findings for researchers.

    Abstract High biomass energy plants are a promising alternative to hyperaccumulators for the remediation of heavy metals (HMs). Arundo donax L. (A. donax) is a rapidly growing rhizomatous grass with high biomass production. However, the feasibility of using A. donax for the phytoremediation of combined mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) pollution under neutral conditions is unclear. In this study, a hydroponic experiment was performed to investigate the impact of Hg-Cd stress on the growth and physiological properties of A. donax and HMs accumulation and transformation. Either single Hg or Cd stress slightly enhanced stem height, fresh biomass, and chlorophyll content, whereas combined Hg-Cd stress reduced these parameters. Furthermore, combined Hg-Cd stress increased the leaf content of malondialdehyde in A. donax, indicating that the combined pollution aggravated oxidative stress in A. donax. Hg volatilization was observed during the 10-day experiment, implying that a portion of the Hg

    Abstract The open incineration of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) results in the accumulation of pyrogenic carbon in the soil. However, the effect of the e-waste-derived pyrogenic carbon (E-PyC) on the performance of soil washing at e-waste incineration sites remains unclear. In this study, the effectiveness of a citrate-surfactant mixed solution in removing copper (Cu) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209) at two e-waste incineration sites was evaluated. The removal efficiencies of Cu (24.6-51.3%) and BDE209 (13.0-27.9%) were low in both soils and were not significantly improved by ultrasonic. Soil organic matter analysis, hydrogen peroxide and thermal pretreatment experiments, and microscale soil particle characterization demonstrated that the poor removal of soil Cu and BDE209 was due to steric effects of E-PyC on the release of the solid fraction of pollutants and the competitive sorption of the labile fraction of pollutants by E-PyC. Weathering of soil Cu weakened the influence of E-PyC but strengthened the negative impact of natural organic matter (NOM) on soil Cu removal by promoting complexation between NOM and Cu
