Ecological restoration in valley area of semiarid region damaged by shallow buried coal seam mining by Chen Puhao, Wang Jianbin, Wang Haiyan

“…The results showed that ERQI values in the study area experienced an evolution process from high to low and then gradually increased, reflecting the impact of coal mine production and restoration activities on the environment, in which Burn Area Index and normalized difference vegetation index were more sensitive; after nearly 10 years of restoration, ERQI values in the study area still had a large gap with that of the reference area, some suggestions for improvement of ecological restoration were put forward. …”

Effects of congruent and incongruent appetitive and aversive well-being comparisons on depression, post-traumatic stress, and self-esteem by Emily N. Keppler, Nexhmedin Morina, Pascal Schlechter

“…Here, baseline aversive and appetitive well-being comparisons (comparison frequency, discrepancy, and affective impact) served as the two predictor variables, while depression, PTSD, and self-esteem three months later served as outcomes.Results: Findings partially confirmed our hypotheses. Congruently high (vs. low) levels of aversive and appetitive comparison frequency and discrepancy predicted more depressive/PTSD symptoms and lower self-esteem. …”

The Role of the Key Differentially Mutated Gene FGFR3 in the Immune Microenvironment of Bladder Cancer by Jun Jiang, Yan Zhan, Jun Li

“…The method of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was employed to, respectively, interpret the expression data of FGFR3 in high and low expression lists. We observed that the genes in the low FGFR3 expression list were strongly enriched in the biological processes associated with transplantation and cell adhesion, suggesting the possible role of FGFR3 in predicting TME metastasis status in bladder cancer. …”
