The rapid rise of digital media and the accelerated pace of modern life have triggered a "reading crisis" among college students in China, which is characterized by declining deep reading abilities and increasing reliance on fragmented digital content. Understanding the multifaceted factors influencing student reading behavior is crucial for improving educational outcomes and fostering lifelong learning skills. This study examines these factors in China's top universities using an ecological systems theory framework, which considers how individual attributes (micro), university environment (mezzo), and broader social contexts (macro) interact to shape reading behavior. This study analyzed a logistic regression model based on 1667 samples from 19 top universities in China, followed by cross-analysis using contingency tables. The findings highlight the significant impact of both individual and environmental factors on reading engagement and reveal the mediating role of university policies and resources in fostering students' reading proficiency.

Aziridines, structurally related to epoxides, are among the most challenging and fascinating heterocycles in organic chemistry due to their increasing applications in asymmetric synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. These three-membered nitrogen-containing rings serve as key intermediates in the synthesis of chiral amines, complex molecules, and pharmaceutically relevant compounds. This review provides an overview of recent progress in catalytic asymmetric aziridination, focusing on novel methodologies, an analysis of the scope and limitations of each approach, and mechanistic insights.

Language control has been argued to adapt dynamically to the language context bilinguals are communicating in (Green & Abutalebi, 2013). Previous research has suggested that the demands of the task and current context itself can influence a bilingual's language behaviour and potentially also their language control. Here, we examined how the preceding context, specifically the switching patterns of another bilingual in that context, can influence a bilingual's own language control during production.

An ongoing goal of top-down mass spectrometry is to increase the performance for larger proteins. Using higher energy activation methods, like 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), offers the potential to cause more extensive fragmentation of large proteins and thereby yield greater sequence coverage. Obtaining high sequence coverage requires confident identification and assignment of fragment ions, and this process is hampered by spectral congestion and low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the fragment ions.

The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) integrates subcortical signals related to arousal, stress, addiction, and anxiety with top-down cortical influences. Increases or decreases in PVT activity exert profound, long-lasting effects on behavior related to motivation, addiction and homeostasis. Yet the sources of its subcortical excitatory and inhibitory afferents, their distribution within the PVT, and their integration with layer-specific cortical inputs remain unclear.
