Mining activities induce some social problems, such as polluted environments, the destruction of aquatic live, which have long been debated by scholars and practitioners. To mitigate this problem, underpinning dynamic capability view, our study explores whether the digital transformation (DT) affects corporate social responsibility (CSR) by using 1308 Chinese mining A-shared listed firms from 2010 to 2021, and how the potential relationship is moderated by environmental uncertainty (EU) and supply chain concentration (SCC). Applying fixed effects regressions, we find that DT fosters CSR in the mining industry, but CSR performance is weakened when DT processed at higher EU and SCC respectively. Our findings enrich the literature on CSR of mining industry and highlight that DT is an important driver that shapes CSR practice.

Tendon/ligament (T/L) injuries sustained during motion are highly prevalent and severely impact athletes' careers and quality of life. Current treatments, including autografts, allografts, and synthetic ligaments, have limitations such as donor site morbidity, immune rejection, and biomechanical mismatch, especially under dynamic loading conditions encountered in motion. 3D bioprinting offers a revolutionary approach for constructing patient-specific T/L grafts.

The long-term accumulation of electrolytic manganese residue leads to pollution issues related to NH -N and Mn. Although various methods exist to address the pollution caused by NH -N and Mn, existing hazard-free treatment methods do not consider the subsequent utilization of the electrolytic manganese residue. Meanwhile, resource recovery methods face challenges due to the complex salt structures present in electrolytic manganese residue.

Despite China being the world's largest producer of non-ferrous metals, a comprehensive understanding of heavy metal pollution from this industry is still lacking. This study examines the spatial coupling between heavy metal (Cd, Hg, As, Pb, and Cr) emission hotspots in China's non-ferrous metal mining industry (NFMMI), non-ferrous metal smelting and processing industry (NFMSPI) and environmental media- sensitive hotspots (water body density, cultivated land concentration, and atmospheric PM2.5) to characterize the multi-media pollution risks.

Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) remains a significant health concern in metal and nonmetal (MNM) mining operations, contributing to the development of silicosis, lung cancer, and other chronic respiratory conditions. This review examines the prevalence and effects of RCS exposure in MNM mining environments, the toxicity of silica dust, and the effectiveness of regulatory interventions aimed at controlling exposure and mitigating health hazards. Key factors influencing RCS concentrations, including mine type, size, and geographic location, are analyzed, with particular focus on the impact of recent regulatory updates from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).

Drinking water that contains elevated levels of radioactive substances can pose a potential risk for the development of cancer. Therefore, regular monitoring of radioactivity in water intended for human consumption is essential. In this context, a long-term investigation was carried out across 13 sites in the Mačva District (Western Serbia) during the 2010-2020 period.
