    Abstract The dynamics of information transmission through the lexical system during written word production remain underspecified. Existing studies largely come from noun production, relatively less work has explored verb production. Verbs, representing actions or states, are considered more abstract and are found to be more challenging to be produced. The present study investigated phonological involvement and the principles governing information flow during Chinese written verb production. Participants wrote down single verbs and verb phrases while ignoring phonologically related, or unrelated distractor pictures. Results revealed phonological facilitation effects on writing latencies from phonologically related distractors in the verb phrase generation. Findings provide novel chronometric evidence that information transmission during written production involves cascaded activation allowing multiple phonological codes to be activated prior to written output. This phonological facilitation effect signifies the influence of phonology, especially lexical phonology, has been underestimated in writing.

    Abstract Americans have increasingly turned to online crowdfunding to pay for healthcare costs, but our understanding of the inequalities in medical crowdfunding remains limited. This study investigates racial disparities in medical crowdfunding outcomes and examines the role of communication in amplifying, altering, or even reducing the disparities. Using data from 1,127 medical crowdfunding campaigns on GoFundMe, the study found that beneficiaries of color received significantly fewer donations than their White counterparts. The differences in donations between racial groups were partly attributable to sharing disparities. Campaigns for beneficiaries of color were shared less via e-mail or social media than campaigns for White beneficiaries. Campaign narratives with more humanizing details about beneficiaries were associated with more donations. However, humanizing details did not predict more shares, nor were they linked to smaller disparities in campaign outcomes between racial groups. Post-hoc analyses showed that more humanizing details were linked to fewer campaign donations for male beneficiaries of color. The findings contribute to the scholarship addressing the intersections of communication and health inequality on digital platforms.

    Abstract This paper empirically analyzes import demand for nuts in Korea using Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Six budget shares and prices demand equations for nuts group: almond, pistachio, walnut, cashew, hazelnut and macadamia are analyzed during the period 2009 to 2019. Empirical results show that all uncompensated own-price elasticities are negative, walnut and pistachio are own-price elastic while almond, cashew, hazelnut and macadamia are own-price inelastic. Uncompensated cross-price elasticities indicate that nuts have both complementary and substitutable relationships. Expenditure elasticities reveal that all import nuts are expenditure inelastic and they can be considered as necessary goods in Korea. Our research can help related to policy decision for the demand of Korea import nuts.

    Abstract Transforming resource-based cities into sustainable economic development is a great challenge for policy-makers in many countries. However, the economic-centered evaluation system tends to breed the undesirable view of "GDP only" or "brown growth" in the previous case studies which is inconsistent with the long-run and sustainable development of resource-based cities. To fill in this research gap, this paper takes Jilin province in northeast China as a case study to explore urban development problems faced by major resource-based cities during resource depletion. This research constructs a stratified indicator system and conducts an in-depth analysis of the features and spatial effects of urban decline. For this analysis, this paper jointly uses the methods of entropy-weighted TOPSIS, analytic hierarchical process (AHP), and spatial effect model based on a database from 2000 to 2019. The findings of this study show that the current transformation of resource-based cities in Jilin province is generally ineffective and difficult to maintain long-run and sustainable development due to its historical reasons and industrial development background. According to the results, the resource-based cities in Jilin province show an unstable development because of factors such as barriers to the physical renewal of resources, rigid industrial structure, insufficient backup resources, and institutional and policy constraints. Also, the transformation of these cities into sustainable economic development is still facing demographic, social, and ecological difficulties.

    Abstract Fresh apricots have high nutritional value and demand. Determination of the appropriate maturity is vital for fruit storage. The effects of harvest maturity on chilling injury and storage quality were investigated in this study. Xinjiang Saimaiti apricots were used as the material; the fruit was picked at three different maturity classes, maturity class I (colored area < 50%), maturity class II (colored area 50–80%), and maturity class III (colored area > 80%) according to yellow conversion rate, and stored at 0°C and 90–95% RH. Chilling injury incidence, chilling index, and the physiological indicators were evaluated. The results showed that the incidence, index of chilling injury, and firmness in apricots of maturity class I were highest than other two groups, but maturity class I apricots did not ripe. Although the incidence and index of chilling injury in maturity class III were relatively low, fruit firmness decreased rapidly. The incidence and index of chilling injury of apricots in maturity class II were lower than those of fruits at maturity class I, whereas fruit firmness, soluble solid content, ascorbic acid level, and extractable juice quantity relatively were well-maintained. Therefore, maturity class II was considered the appropriate maturity stage at harvest for storage.

    Abstract At present, China's economy is transforming from rapid development to high-quality development, and the prominent problems in the industrial structure need to be resolved urgently. The implementation of the green credit policy restricts loans to industries with high energy consumption, high pollution, and overcapacity to prevent excessive expansion and consumption of resources, thereby achieving the goals of industrial restructuring and environmental protection. Technological innovation is an important means to cope with environmental changes and adjust the industrial structure. Can technological innovation under green credit achieve the upgrading of the industrial structure? This paper combines green credit, technological innovation, and industrial structure upgrading to conduct research, and theoretically analyzes the impact of green credit and technological innovation on industrial structure upgrading, and analyzes how green credit affects industrial structure upgrading through technological innovation. An empirical test using panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2017 revealed that green credit can promote the upgrading of the industrial structure. Econometric analysis based on the mediation effect model found that green credit not only directly promotes the upgrading of the industrial structure, but also has the mediation effect that affects the upgrading of the industrial structure through technological innovation. In the sub-regional regression analysis, technological innovation affects the upgrading of the industrial structure. The mediation effect is still significant. Based on the research in this article, it is recommended to actively implement green credit policies, expand the scale of green credit, firmly implement the innovation-driven development strategy, and at the same time vigorously develop clean energy and reduce energy consumption. The research significance of the article is to explore the impact of green credit on industrial structure upgrading, which has implications for the implementation and promotion of subsequent green credit policies. At the same time, it enriches the research on green credit.

    Abstract The problem of global climate change is a common problem faced by all countries, and developing countries will face heavier pressure to reduce carbon emissions while promoting economic development. China is currently in a period of economic transformation, and the contradiction of industrial structure upgrading is becoming more and more prominent. The unreasonable industrial structure has caused a large consumption of resources, hindering the optimal allocation of resources and affecting carbon emissions. Technological innovation is an important force to cope with environmental changes, promote economic growth, and improve comprehensive competitiveness. Can technological innovation achieve carbon emission reduction under industrial structure upgrading? In this paper, industrial structure upgrading, technological innovation, and carbon emissions are studied together, and the impact of industrial structure upgrading, technological innovation on carbon emissions is theoretically analyzed, as well as how industrial structure upgrading acts on carbon emissions through technological innovation. An empirical test is conducted using 30 provincial panel data in China from 2005 to 2017, and it is found that industrial structure upgrading can reduce carbon emissions. An econometric analysis based on the mediating effect model finds that industrial structure upgrading has both a direct carbon emission reduction effect and a mediating effect of reducing carbon emissions through technological innovation, and the mediating effect of technological innovation in reducing carbon emissions remains significant in the regression analysis of sub-regions. Based on the research of this paper, it is suggested that the advanced development of industrial structure should be promoted, the rationalization of industrial structure should be promoted, the innovation development strategy should be firmly implemented, and the level of technological innovation should be promoted.
