Exploring segmented assimilation theory in health education utilization and its influencing factors among internal migrants in China: insights from the 2017 China migrants dynamic survey by Ting Xu, Ting Xu, Zeyu Wang, Tingting Wang, Jiahua Shi, Aiyong Zhu, Enhong Dong, Enhong Dong

“…Additionally, factors such as ethnicity, marital status, employment status, educational attainment, hukou type, health insurance type, time of access to healthcare, social integration, social participation, establishment of health records, and issues encountered in host and origin places significantly influenced HEU.DiscussionThis study highlights diverse assimilation patterns among Chinese internal migrants regarding HEU, consistent with the theory of segmented assimilation. Specifically, second-generation immigrants exhibit higher HEU levels than their first-generation counterparts, with the second-generation underclass demonstrating the highest HEU. …”

Upper Ocean Thermal Responses to Sea Spray Mediated Turbulent Fluxes during Typhoon Passage by Lianxin Zhang, Changlong Guan, Chunjian Sun, Siyu Gao, Shaomei Yu

“…Diagnostic analysis indicates that sea spray acts as an additional source of the air-sea turbulent fluxes and plays a key role in increasing the turbulent kinetic energy in the upper ocean, which enhances the temperature diffusion there. Therefore, sea spray is also an important factor in determining the upper mixed layer depth during the typhoon passage.…”
