Towards a carbon compensation framework: integrating embodied carbon transfer and carbon sequestration service flows in urban agglomerations by Jing Chen, Jing Chen, Xiangmin Liu, Shan Yang, Xingjian Wang

“…It identifies inter-administrative carbon flow paths, clarifies compensation subjects and benchmarks, and generates differentiated compensation schemes to establish a fairer horizontal carbon compensation mechanism.Results(1) Economically developed cities (e.g., Beijing, Shijiazhuang): transfer embodied carbon to industrial cities (e.g., Tianjin, Tangshan, Handan), while ecological function zones (e.g., Zhangjiakou, Chengde) not only receive embodied carbon but also provide sequestration services; (2) Based on total net transfers, the 13 cities in BTH are divided into six payers and seven recipients, with Shijiazhuang (2.861 billion CNY) and Chengde (2.860 billion CNY) as the main payer and recipient, respectively.DiscussionThis mechanism offers a more comprehensive reflection of carbon responsibility and provides policy implications for coordinated low-carbon development and national-level compensation design.…”

The research progress of biologics in elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) by Yujie Li, Yifan Liu, Yanhui Tian, Huimin Gu, Qingliang Meng, Jiakang Cui, Junfu Ma

“…Studies indicate that biologics, such as TNF-α inhibitors, IL-6 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors, can significantly reduce inflammation and improve joint function in EORA patients. However, their long-term use is closely linked to increased risks of infections, thrombosis, and malignancies, underscoring the importance of personalized treatment approaches and dynamic monitoring. …”

A Refined Spatiotemporal ZTD Model of the Chinese Region Based on ERA and GNSS Data by Yongzhao Fan, Fengyu Xia, Zhimin Sha, Nana Jiang

“…However, existing models experience insufficient ZTD profile refinement, inadequate correction for systematic bias between the ZTD used in empirical modelling and the GNSS ZTD, and low time efficiency in model updating as more data become available. Therefore, a refined spatiotemporal empirical ZTD model was developed in this study on the basis of the fifth generation of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA5) data and GNSS data. …”
