Influence of digital rural construction on farmland transfer contract extension of transfer-out households and mechanism by SI Ruishi, ZHOU Shilei

“…[Results] Transfer-out households who are willing to extend the contract accounts for 57.77% of the surveyed households, and the average extension period is 3.45-5.98 years. (2) Digital rural construction has a positive effect on transfer-out households’ contract extension willingness and extension period, and this result is still robust after the endogeneity and robustness tests. (3) Heterogeneity analysis showed that digital rural construction has an inverted U-shaped influence on the contract extension period at different quantiles. …”

Renal Evaluation in Common Variable Immunodeficiency by Giovany Gomes Capistrano, Gdayllon Cavalcante Meneses, Fernanda Macedo de Oliveira Neves, Renata de Almeida Leitão, Alice Maria Costa Martins, Alexandre Braga Libório

“…Interestingly, CVID patients had reduced urinary concentration capacity, as demonstrated by lower U/POsm ratio, when compared to controls. Also, while all control subjects achieved a urinary pH less than 5.3, no CVID patients showed a decrease in urinary pH to such levels in response to acid loading with CaCl2, characterizing impaired urinary acidification capacity. …”

Mapping Abandoned Cultivated Land in China: Implications for Grain Yield Improvement by Guanghui Jiang, Wenqiu Ma, Yuling Li, Dingyang Zhou, Tao Zhou

“…The results showed that: (1) In 2017, the abandoned area of cultivated land in China was approximately 9.10 million hectares, with an overall abandoned rate of approximately 5.57%. (2) The distribution of abandoned land in China had obvious spatial differences, and the trend of the area of abandoned land had an “inverted U” shape from east to west. (3) The pattern of abandonment showed a trend of spreading from a scattered distribution to a concentrated and continuous expansion from the edges of large cities and remote rural areas to the main grain-producing regions of fertile cultivated land. (4) The cultivated land abandonment has a great impact on grain production capacity, and there are differences among provinces. …”
