How does the perceived green human resource management impact employee’s green innovative behavior? —From the perspective of theory of planned behavior

Employees’ green innovative behavior encouraged by enterprises plays an important role in the enterprise sustainable development. The study explores the impact of perceived green human resource management on employees’ innovative behavior. Drawing upon the planned behavior theory, this study examines how perceived green human resource management impact employees’ green innovation behavior. Through three-stage questionnaire survey, 207 samples are obtained and hierarchical regression is employed to test the hypothesis., Data analysis results show that perceived green human resource management has a directly positive effect on employees’ green innovative behavior. Green behavior intention, self-efficacy of environmental protection behavior, and identity with the company’s green environmental protection system are the mediators between perceived green human resource management and employees’ green innovative behavior. Meanwhile, the results demonstrate that there is a chain mediating relationship among these variables. In addition, green supply chain management moderates the relationship between the identity of a green environmental protection system and employees’ green innovative behavior. These conclusions transcend the macro perspective and open the black box between green human resource management and enterprise performance. Enterprise should take a holistic view to play the role of green human resource management and supply chain management in the implementation of environmental strategy

Age-Related Changes of Myelin Basic Protein in Mouse and Human Auditory Nerve

Age-related hearing loss (presbyacusis) is the most common type of hearing impairment. One of the most consistent pathological changes seen in presbyacusis is the loss of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Defining the cellular and molecular basis of SGN degeneration in the human inner ear is critical to gaining a better understanding of the pathophysiology of presbyacusis. However, information on age-related cellular and molecular alterations in the human spiral ganglion remains scant, owing to the very limited availably of human specimens suitable for high resolution morphological and molecular analysis. This study aimed at defining age-related alterations in the auditory nerve in human temporal bones and determining if immunostaining for myelin basic protein (MBP) can be used as an alternative approach to electron microscopy for evaluating myelin degeneration. For comparative purposes, we evaluated ultrastructural alternations and changes in MBP immunostaining in aging CBA/CaJ mice. We then examined 13 temporal bones from 10 human donors, including 4 adults aged 38–46 years (middle-aged group) and 6 adults aged 63–91 years (older group). Similar to the mouse, intense immunostaining of MBP was present throughout the auditory nerve of the middle-aged human donors. Significant declines in MBP immunoreactivity and losses of MBP+ auditory nerve fibers were observed in the spiral ganglia of both the older human and aged mouse ears. This study demonstrates that immunostaining for MBP in combination with confocal microscopy provides a sensitive, reliable, and efficient method for assessing alterations of myelin sheaths in the auditory nerve. The results also suggest that myelin degeneration may play a critical role in the SGN loss and the subsequent decline of the auditory nerve function in presbyacusis

The Impact of Public Health Education on Migrant Workers’ Medical Service Utilization

Based on the dynamic monitoring survey data of China’s migrant population (CMDS) in 2017, this study analyzes the impact of public health education on migrant workers’ medical service utilization. The study found that public health education can significantly promote the utilization of migrant workers’ medical services and has a greater effect on the older generation groups, those who received secondary and higher education, and those working in first-tier cities. By distinguishing different types of public health education, it is found that smoking control education has the most obvious effect. Further differentiating disease types, the study found that the promotion effect of receiving occupational disease education is the highest, while the effect of receiving STD/AIDS education is relatively low. The mechanism test indicates that public health education has significantly improved migrant workers’ utilization of medical services by influencing their health literacy, social network, and psychological integration

Research on the correlation between the size of condyle and occlusion plane in skeletal Class II malocclusions

Abstract Objectives This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the morphological structure of condyle and occlusal plane in skeletal Class II malocclusions by imaging measurement. Materials and Methods This study included 65 skeletal Class II adult patients (18–35 years old) who met the criteria, and all were taken with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images (skeletal Class II high angle 38 cases, average angle 18 cases, and low angle nine cases). The statistical methods of mean standard deviation, Pearson correlation, and analysis of variance were used to study the correlation between the size of the condyle and occlusal plane in skeletal Class II malocclusion. Results The FMA and SN‐OP between the groups in skeletal Class II malocclusion are considered statistically significant, p  average angle group > low angle group, whereas there are significant correlations between FMA, FH‐OP, SN‐OP, and the medial–lateral diameter (MLD) of the condyle, p < .05, showing a negative correlation. The anteroposterior diameter of the condyle has no significant correlation with these angles, and the high‐angle group size is smaller than the other groups. Conclusion In patients with skeletal Class II high angle malocclusion, the MLD and anteroposterior diameters of condyle were smaller than those of average angle and low angle groups, and negatively correlated with the FMA and SN‐OP. That is the steeper occlusal plane, the smaller MLD of the condyle. It suggests whether orthodontists can promote the stability of the morphological structure of the condyle by changing the inclination of the occlusal plane during the orthodontic process

Efficient Conical Area Differential Evolution with Biased Decomposition and Dual Populations for Constrained Optimization

The constraint-handling methods using multiobjective techniques in evolutionary algorithms have drawn increasing attention from researchers. This paper proposes an efficient conical area differential evolution (CADE) algorithm, which employs biased decomposition and dual populations for constrained optimization by borrowing the idea of cone decomposition for multiobjective optimization. In this approach, a conical subpopulation and a feasible subpopulation are designed to search for the global feasible optimum, along the Pareto front and the feasible segment, respectively, in a cooperative way. In particular, the conical subpopulation aims to efficiently construct and utilize the Pareto front through a biased cone decomposition strategy and conical area indicator. Neighbors in the conical subpopulation are fully exploited to assist each other to find the global feasible optimum. Afterwards, the feasible subpopulation is ranked and updated according to a tolerance-based rule to heighten its diversity in the early stage of evolution. Experimental results on 24 benchmark test cases reveal that CADE is capable of resolving the constrained optimization problems more efficiently as well as producing solutions that are significantly competitive with other popular approaches

A Method for Screening Climate Change-Sensitive Infectious Diseases

Climate change is a significant and emerging threat to human health, especially where infectious diseases are involved. Because of the complex interactions between climate variables and infectious disease components (i.e., pathogen, host and transmission environment), systematically and quantitatively screening for infectious diseases that are sensitive to climate change is still a challenge. To address this challenge, we propose a new statistical indicator, Relative Sensitivity, to identify the difference between the sensitivity of the infectious disease to climate variables for two different climate statuses (i.e., historical climate and present climate) in non-exposure and exposure groups. The case study in Anhui Province, China has demonstrated the effectiveness of this Relative Sensitivity indicator. The application results indicate significant sensitivity of many epidemic infectious diseases to climate change in the form of changing climatic variables, such as temperature, precipitation and absolute humidity. As novel evidence, this research shows that absolute humidity has a critical influence on many observed infectious diseases in Anhui Province, including dysentery, hand, foot and mouth disease, hepatitis A, hemorrhagic fever, typhoid fever, malaria, meningitis, influenza and schistosomiasis. Moreover, some infectious diseases are more sensitive to climate change in rural areas than in urban areas. This insight provides guidance for future health inputs that consider spatial variability in response to climate change
