This study investigates how family support influences career success among Chinese university teachers, employing a moderated mediation model. Results from 348 faculty surveys show that family support boosts career success both directly and indirectly through time management and career adaptability individually, though not sequentially. Work-to-family conflict negatively moderates these relationships. Gender differences exist: family support directly affects women's career success, while for men, its effect is fully mediated by time management and career adaptability.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making remarkable strides in the field of oncology. The potential is humongous, but the perils are understated. From the perspective of gynecologic oncologists from India, we urge everyone to take a cautionary look at the rapid AI evolution in oncology.

The human-water relationship has emerged as an interdisciplinary field, in which developing basic equations and models forms a core research area. Based on a systematic review, the “four processes” of the human-water system are proposed—the water cycle process, material cycle process, biological process, and humanistic process. The basic equations, coupling mechanisms, and computational methods of these processes are summarized to support construction of a distributed human-water relationship (DHWR) model.

This study investigates how women volunteers in urban China perform identity work within the gendered structures of community volunteering. While community volunteerism is widely perceived as feminized, informal, and devalued labor, women actively construct, negotiate, and sometimes challenge the meanings of volunteer roles. Drawing on three months of ethnographic fieldwork in two women-led community volunteer groups in Beijing, this research shows that women navigate gendered expectations by building civic networks, formalizing their practices, and leveraging political identities.

Objectives To describe the demographic and social identities of participants in contemporary Canadian randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Study Design and Setting A meta-epidemiologic study included published reports of phase 2 and 3 RCTs that exclusively recruited adults living in Canada and were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Study design and participant demographics were abstracted from eligible articles in duplicate using frameworks for understanding participant diversity such as PROGRESS-PLUS.

Introduction: Promoting water consumption as an alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages helped to prevent overweight among students in a trial of the Water First intervention. This study investigated the heterogeneity of effects on weight and beverage consumption by child sociodemographic, family, and health-related characteristics. Methods: In 2016–2019, elementary schools were randomized as controls or to receive the Water First intervention, combining environmental and educational approaches to promote water consumption.

Glaciers in the Tien Shan serve as vital “water towers” for Central Asia, but their rapid retreat under climate warming threatens regional water security. This study investigated glacier changes and evaluated their impacts on regional water resources using multi-temporal imagery, integrated with glacier, hydrological, and climatic datasets. Results show widespread and accelerating glacier mass loss, rapid expansion of glacial lakes, and pronounced spatial divergence in runoff responses across basins.
