“…A plethora of evidence has emerged indicating an important role of gender dimorphism in depression, with prevalence rates, symptomatology, and treatment responses differing between men and women. Women are generally more likely to suffer from depression, which is often attributed to hormonal influences, psychosocial stressors, and gender-specific coping mechanisms. …”

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.…”

Spectral multiplier theorems for abstract harmonic oscillators on UMD lattices by van Neerven, Jan, Portal, Pierre, Sharma, Himani

“…We consider operators acting on a UMD Banach lattice $X$ that have the same algebraic structure as the position and momentum operators associated with the harmonic oscillator $-\frac{1}{2}\Delta + \frac{1}{2}|x|^{2} $ acting on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$. More precisely, we consider abstract harmonic oscillators of the form $\frac{1}{2} \sum _{j=1} ^{d}(A_{j}^{2}+B_{j}^{2})$ for tuples of operators $A=(A_{j})_{j=1} ^{d}$ and $B=(B_{k})_{k=1} ^{d}$, where $iA_j$ and $iB_k$ are assumed to generate $C_{0}$ groups and to satisfy the canonical commutator relations. …”
