Depression is a relevant mental illness affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. As urbanization accelerates, agglomeration of populations has altered individual social network distances and life crowding, which in turn affects depressive prevalence. However, the association between depression and population agglomeration (PA) remains controversial. This study aims to explore whether and how PA could influence individual depression. Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2018, the empirical results showed that there was a U-shaped association between PA and individual CES-D scores. As PA increases, the risk of depression first decreases and then increases. CES-D was lowest at moderate aggregation. Dialect diversity (DD) was positively related to the incidence of individual depression. The higher the DD, the higher the risk of depression. Meanwhile, DD also played a moderating role in the association between PA and individual depression. Our observations suggest that the optimistic level of agglomeration for individual mental health is within 1500 to 2000 persons per square kilometer.

While aspiring to be a diverse and global science, developmental science continues to be dominated by EuroAmerican epistemologies, researchers, and communities in its published scholarship. Adolescents in communities across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America comprise 85% of the world\'s adolescent population, and yet their experiences and perspectives are marginalized in our science. Adolescents in the Majority World live in highly diverse social, cultural, political, economic, educational and healthcare contexts that contribute to their development, and we have much to learn from their experiences. This article situates the marginalization of the global majority within coloniality embedded in developmental science. The article describes the impetus for this special issue Towards a decolonial developmental science and the process of putting it together, along with providing an overview of the 18 articles in this collection that push us towards decoloniality. The special issue serves as a call to transform developmental science to be decolonial by empowering adolescent development in Majority World communities to take center stage. Adolescent development research from Majority World communities has the potential to challenge the knowledge base generated from Minority World samples, contributing to a science that is comprehensive, inclusive, and can inform prevention and intervention efforts to support the well-being of adolescents globally.

Global consciousness (GC), encompassing cosmopolitan orientation, global orientations (i.e. openness to multicultural experiences) and identification with all humanity, is a relatively stable individual difference that is strongly associated with pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, less ingroup favouritism and prejudice, and greater pandemic prevention safety behaviours. Little is known about how it is socialized in everyday life. Using stratified samples from six societies, socializing institution factors correlating positively with GC were education, white collar work (and its higher income) and religiosity. However, GC also decreased with increasing age, contradicting a \'wisdom of elders\' transmission of social learning, and not replicating typical findings that general prosociality increases with age. Longitudinal findings were that empathy-building, network-enhancing elements like getting married or welcoming a new infant, increased GC the most across a three-month interval. Instrumental gains like receiving a promotion (or getting a better job) also showed positive effects. Less intuitively, death of a close-other enhanced rather than reduced GC. Perhaps this was achieved through the ritualized management of meaning where a sense of the smallness of self is associated with growth of empathy for the human condition, as a more discontinuous or opportunistic form of culture-based learning. This article is part of the theme issue \'Evolution and sustainability: gathering the strands for an Anthropocene synthesis\'.

As the U.S. population shifts away from a White majority, it is imperative that the health care workforce reflect the diversity of client populations served. Increased diversity in the health care workforce fosters access to more personalized, culturally responsive, and client-centered care, thereby facilitating improved outcomes and reduced health disparities. Occupational therapy education programs function as gatekeepers for diversity and need to be accountable for representation in the profession and to produce graduates who reflect the diversity of the broader population. Holistic admission practices, which ensure that no single factor excludes an applicant from admission, are recognized as a meaningful strategy for increasing student diversity in higher education and provide a pathway to create a representative workforce with the ability to improve care disparities and client outcomes. As one of the largest occupational therapy programs in the country, and located in a diverse urban area, the University of Southern California\'s Mrs. T. H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy has embraced the profession\'s responsibility toward greater health equity through holistic admissions. In this column, we discuss holistic admission best practices and report diversity outcomes resulting from enactment of these practices within our occupational therapy education program.

Medicinal plants provide crucial ecosystem services, especially in developing countries such as China, which harbors diverse endemic medicinal plant species with substantial cultural and economic value. Accordingly, understanding the patterns and drivers of medicinal plant distribution is critical. However, few studies have investigated the patterns and drivers of endemic medicinal plants distribution in China. Here, we linked endemic medicinal plants distribution with possible explanatory variables, i.e., paleoclimate change, contemporary climate, altitudinal range and ethnic minority human population size at the prefecture city level in China. Our results show that endemic medicinal plants are concentrated in southern China, especially in southwestern China. Notably, both endemic medicinal plant species richness and the ratio of endemic medicinal plant species richness are negatively associated with glacial-interglacial anomaly in temperature, and positively associated with contemporary precipitation and altitudinal range. In addition, we found that endemic medicinal plant species richness is positively associated with ethnic minority population sizes as well as its ratio to the overall population size. These findings suggest that the distribution of endemic medicinal plants is determined by multiple drivers. Furthermore, our findings stress that dramatic future climate changes and massive anthropogenic activities in southern China pose great challenges to the conservation of China\'s endemic medicinal plants.

How does cultural diversity influence the performance of semi-virtual teams? We use the prism of esports and insights from virtual identity research and social categorization theory to determine the effect on semi-virtual teams in which member interaction is not necessarily mediated or constrained by physical world sociocultural norms. The common ground that has developed in esports results in a superordinate, culture-free gamer identity that transcends the virtual and physical worlds, and thus multicultural teams can enjoy the benefits of diverse knowledge without suffering unduly from social disintegration when gamer identity is salient - a reality challenged less in the virtual world than in the physical one. We conduct an empirical study using data from 4035 League of Legends games played by 102 multicultural teams from 2017 to 2020. Our results show that cultural diversity improves the quality of team strategy when gamer identity becomes more salient, and that that may come about when players are intensely exposed to the game world, when they play with many different virtual characters, and when they play at home court.
Comment la diversité culturelle influence-t-elle la performance des équipes semi-virtuelles ? Nous appuyant sur les perspectives de l’eSport, de l\'identité virtuelle et de la catégorisation sociale, nous déterminons l\'effet sur les équipes semi-virtuelles dans lesquelles l\'interaction des membres n\'est pas nécessairement médiée ou limitée par les normes socioculturelles du monde physique. Le terrain commun qui s\'est développé dans l’eSport se traduit par une identité superordonnée et sans culture du joueur laquelle transcende les mondes virtuel et physique, les équipes multiculturelles peuvent ainsi profiter des avantages de la diversité des connaissances sans souffrir excessivement de la désintégration sociale lorsque l\'identité du joueur est saillante - une réalité moins contestée dans le monde virtuel que dans le monde physique. Nous réalisons une étude empirique fondée sur les données de 4 035 parties de League of Legends jouées par 102 équipes multiculturelles durant la période 2017- 2020. Nos résultats montrent que la diversité culturelle améliore la qualité de la stratégie de l\'équipe lorsque l\'identité du joueur devient plus saillante, et que cela peut se produire lorsque les joueurs sont intensément exposés au monde du jeu, lorsqu\'ils jouent avec de nombreux personnages virtuels différents et lorsqu\'ils jouent à domicile.
¿Cómo influencia la diversidad cultural en el desempeño de equipos semi-virtuales? Usamos el prisma de los eSports (deportes electrónicos) y los aportes de la investigación sobre identidad virtual y la teoría de categorización social para determinar el efecto de los equipos semi-virtuales en los cuales la interacción de los participantes no necesariamente está medida por normas socioculturales del mundo físico. El patrón coincidente que se ha desarrollado en eSports da como resultado una identidad superior de los jugadores libres de cultura que trasciende los mundos físicos y virtuales, de esta manera los equipos multiculturales pueden disfrutar de los beneficios de un conocimiento diverso sin sufrir desmesuradamente de la desintegración social cuando la identidad del jugador es relevante– una realidad menos retada en el mundo virtual que en el físico. Llevamos a cabo un estudio empírico tomando datos de 4.035 juegos jugados en League of Legends por 102 equipos multiculturales entre el 2017 y el 2020. Nuestros resultados muestran que la diversidad cultural mejora la calidad de la estrategia del equipo cuando la identidad del jugador adquiere más relevancia, y que eso puede pasar cuando los jugares son intensamente expuestos al mundo del juego, cuando juegan con muchos personajes distintos, y cuando juegan en su propio campo.
Como a diversidade cultural influencia o desempenho de times semivirtuais? Usamos o prisma de esportes e insights da pesquisa sobre identidade virtual e da teoria da categorização social para determinar o efeito em equipes semivirtuais nas quais a interação dos membros não é necessariamente mediada ou limitada por normas socioculturais do mundo físico. O consenso que se desenvolveu em esportes resulta em uma identidade de jogador superordenada e livre de cultura que transcende os mundos virtual e físico, portanto, equipes multiculturais podem desfrutar os benefícios de conhecimento diverso sem sofrer indevidamente de desintegração social quando a identidade do jogador é saliente - uma realidade menos desafiada no mundo virtual do que no físico. Conduzimos um estudo empírico usando dados de 4.035 jogos de League of Legends jogados por 102 times multiculturais de 2017 a 2020. Nossos resultados mostram que a diversidade cultural melhora a qualidade da estratégia da equipe quando a identidade do jogador se torna mais evidente, e que isso pode ocorrer quando jogadores estão intensamente expostos ao mundo do jogo, quando jogam com muitos personagens virtuais diferentes e quando jogam em sua quadra de origem.
文化多样性如何影响半虚拟团队的绩效？运用电子竞技的样本, 我们从虚拟身份以及社会分类理论的视角来研究文化多样性对半虚拟团队的影响。 在半虚拟团队中， 成员互动不一定受现实世界社会文化规范的调节或约束。团队成员在电子竞技中形成的共同之处会导致他们产生超越虚拟和物理世界的更高级别且不受文化限制的玩家身份。 因此，当团队成员的玩家身份比跨文化身份更为凸显时，跨文化团队就可以享受多样化知识的好处， 而不会面临团队内部文化差异带来的社会分化的挑战。相较于现实世界，这种局面更容易在虚拟世界产生。我们使用 2017 至 2020 年间 102 个跨文化团队进行的 4,035 场英雄联盟比赛的数据进行了实证研究。我们的研究结果表明，当团队成员的玩家身份变得更加突显时， 文化多样性会提高团队战略的质量。当玩家需要高强度接触游戏世界、玩家擅长使用多个不同的虚拟角色、以及比赛在主场进行时， 这种影响更为明显。.

Transcultural capacity is a key component of consolidated global public health assistance cooperation (GPHAC). The aim of this study is to investigate the transcultural capacity perceptions of public health professionals from China\'s disease control and prevention system after relative training in order to provide a reference for enhancing transcultural capacity during the practice of GPHAC.
A cross sectional qualitative survey in which self-administrated questionnaire with 5 open ended questions was used. The questionnaire was disseminated on the completion of an online training for China\'s senior public health professions on transcultural capacity in GPHAC. Descriptive statistics, word frequency analysis and content analysis were used to analyze the questionnaire data.
Totally, 45 participants took part in this training, 25 of them voluntarily participated in this survey. The participants demonstrated the need for transcultural competence in public health services and suggested improvement in the course content arising from their wealth of knowledge and practical experience in the field. 96% of the participants considered that the training course was \"very necessary\" and \"meaningful\". The most interested topics were \"Overview of transcultural adaptation and GPHAC\", \"Transcultural adaptation and response\" and \"African culture and health\". The contents about \"Country-specific analysis on cultural factors in public health\", \"rapid transcultural adaptation\" and \"more specific practical experiences in diverse cultural backgrounds\" were suggested to be added in future training. The participants considered that transcultural capacity ensured the smooth progress of GPHAC and they both could complement each other, transcultural adaptation was the premise of gaining trust and reaching cooperation, it can be conducive to the health assistance professionals to integrate into local cultural life, facilitating their foreign assistance work to be effective and efficient, and impart experiences well. The participants hoped to put the concept into action.
The importance of transcultural competence in GPHAC is becoming a consensus of public health professionals. Enhanced transcultural competence reflected in the attitude of public health as well as other health workers would promote GPHAC and would foster efficient emergency health response management among many countries.

BACKGROUND: Fisheries have tremendous cultural and educational importance in human societies. The world is undergoing fast environmental and cultural changes, and local knowledge is being lost. Understanding how people interpret environmental change and develop practices in response to such change is essential to comprehend human resource use. This study was planned with the intent to document and conserve the knowledge about the uses of the freshwater fish fauna among the residents in South Punjab, Pakistan.
METHODS: Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were conducted to collect data from informers (N = 88). Principal component analysis, relative frequency citation, fidelity level, relative popularity level, rank-order priority, and similarity index were used to analyze the fish data.
RESULTS: Overall, a total of 43 species of fishes were utilized in the study region, but only 26 species were utilized ethnomedicinally to treat a variety of illnesses such as asthma, body weakness, burn, chicken pox, cold, cough, eyesight, hepatitis, impotence, joint pain, night blindness, skin burn, spleen treatment, stomach infection, and weakness. The uses of fishes were analyzed employing various indices. The highest use value (UV) of 0.86 was calculated for spotted snakehead (Channa punctata), whereas the lowest UV of 0.05 was attained by karail fish (Securicula gora). Moreover, Channa punctata, Cyprinus carpio, Labeo rohita, Oreochromis niloticus, Wallago attu, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Rita rita, Sperata seenghala, Notopterus notopterus, Labeo dyocheilus, Systomus sarana, Puntius punjabensis, Securicula gora, Ompok bimaculatus, and Ompok pabda were the most popular species with RPL = 1.0. Out of the total, 20 species had a \"zero\" similarity index, while the ethnomedicinal use of 12 species (i.e., Labeo dyocheilus, Labeo boggut, Systomus sarana, Puntius punjabensis, Aspidoparia morar, Securicula gora, Crossocheilus diplochilus, Mastacembelus armatus, Ompok bimaculatus, Ompok pabda, Labeo gonius, and Sperata seenghala) was documented for the first time for a variety of diseases (i.e., body weakness, stomach infection, skin burn, joint pain, impotence, asthma, spleen treatment, and chicken pox).
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed that the local people of the study area hold noteworthy traditional knowledge about the medicinal and cultural uses of fish species. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of active chemicals and in vivo and/or in vitro activities of chemicals derived from ichthyofauna with the highest FC as well as UVs could be interesting for research on new drugs.
