Summary: This paper investigates the impact of ESG greenwashing on equity mispricing. The study finds that ESG greenwashing triggers investor sentiment, leading to mispricing of equities. In comparison to underpricing, the positive relationship between ESG greenwashing and overpricing is more significant. The impact is particularly evident in the pre-COVID-19 era, among firms with low-quality external auditing, low levels of industry competition, and operating in less environmentally regulated areas. Furthermore, the study reveals a positive relationship between peer firms' ESG greenwashing and equity mispricing.

Summary: An examination of regional carbon neutrality gaps is crucial for China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal. This study provides a new research framework to check the carbon neutrality gap in each province of China and recommends optimizations to address regional inequities and land-use problems. The results show regional disparities and the need for developed regions to take back their extra carbon emissions sent to undeveloped regions. Land-use structure and efficiency play important roles in determining regional carbon neutrality gaps. Low-carbon land-use strategies should be tailored to regional conditions and promote coordination and fair development.

Summary: The Chinese government has announced official targets for carbon neutrality, with carbon dioxide emissions peaking before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. This study examines the carbon neutrality development in eastern China from 2010 to 2019 and finds that most provinces and cities showed an increasing trend in both carbon source and carbon sink levels. Key factors influencing carbon neutrality include policy, economic development, industrial structure, energy intensity and structure, urban development, and population size ecological environment. Recommendations include strengthening low-carbon policies, reducing carbon sources, accelerating industrial upgrading, optimizing energy use structure, developing carbon sink capacity, and promoting green and low-carbon technologies in limited urban areas.

Summary: High-resolution carbon neutrality mapping is crucial for guiding carbon sequestration increase and carbon emissions reduction. This study utilized multiple sources of big data, including high-precision satellite data and field data, to simulate the spatial distribution of carbon neutrality and compare the influencing factors of industry structure, land use, and landscape between Beijing and Shanghai. The results show that carbon emissions in Shanghai are 1.8 times higher than Beijing, and Shanghai has limited natural green land and little carbon sink. The study also reveals the distribution of carbon emissions and sinks in different regions and highlights the importance of industry and land use structure in carbon neutrality.

Summary: This study found that METTL3 plays a role in regulating cell proliferation, migration, and drug sensitivity in hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+HER2-) breast cancer (BC) by regulating the CDKN1A/EMT and m(6)A-BAX/caspase-9/-3/-8 signaling pathways. The reduction of METTL3 promoted proliferation and migration and decreased drug sensitivity in HR+HER2- BC, suggesting that METTL3 could be a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with HR+HER2- BC.

Summary: In this study, a novel ceramsite lightweight high-titanium heavy slag concrete precast composite slab (CLHCPCS) was developed by using high-titanium heavy slag mixed with different ceramsite types. The effects of new materials and improved joints on the flexural capacity and crack resistance of CLHCPCS were analyzed. It was found that the density of high-titanium heavy slag concrete decreased by 12.0% with shale ceramsite and by 10.6% with fly ash ceramsite. The CLHCPCS demonstrated superior ultimate bearing capacity and crack resistance compared to ordinary concrete composite slab.
