In the digital age, Internet use has become important for relative poverty governance and common prosperity in China. “Internet + targeted poverty alleviation” is an essential boost to poverty alleviation that has experienced empirical tests. Academics have also paid attention to the poverty reduction effect of Internet use. On the one hand, existing studies mainly focus on its effect in rural areas, while relative poverty exists widely between urban and rural areas. Therefore, further comparison of the urban-rural differences in their poverty reduction effect is necessary. On the other hand, promoting capital accumulation is the fundamental mechanism of the poverty reduction effect of Internet use, which academics have poorly analyzed. Using the Chinese General Social Survey(CGSS)data in 2017, this paper uses the moderating effect, mediating effect, moderated mediating effect, and threshold effect models to examine the poverty reduction effect of Internet use and the urban-rural difference in its capital accumulation mechanism. The results find that Internet use can alleviate the relative poverty of individuals and has a more significant effect on rural residents than urban residents. Moreover, the results remain robust after overcoming the endogeneity problem using the instrumental variables model. Further mechanism analysis reveals that Internet use can transform online resources into offline human, social, and economic capital, thus alleviating relative poverty. Among them, the poverty reduction effect of human capital accumulated by Internet use is stronger for urban residents, and the poverty reduction effect of economic capital is more substantial for rural residents. Meanwhile, there are threshold conditions for human capital, economic capital, and social capital for the poverty reduction effect of Internet use. Furthermore, there are urban-rural differences in the threshold values. The contribution of this paper to the existing research lies in the following aspects: first, it places urban and rural residents in the same framework and uses different poverty measurement criteria to compare the differences in poverty reduction effects generated by Internet use. Second, to break the dichotomy method used in previous poverty studies, this paper pays more attention to the relative characteristics of relative poverty, takes the difference degree between individual living standard and average level as the index of relative poverty measurement, and generates the variable of relative poverty depth, which is an innovation of poverty measurement. Third, it reveals that the accumulation effect of capital(economic, social, and human capital)generated by Internet use is the fundamental poverty reduction mechanism and further analyzes its urban-rural heterogeneity and threshold conditions. The results suggest that, on the whole, Internet use has a more significant poverty reducing effect on rural residents than on urban residents. Thus vigorous development of Internet infrastructure in rural areas remains an important initiative for future relative poverty governance. The accumulation of human capital is the fundamental mechanism of Internet poverty reduction, warning us to pay attention to enhancing human capital. The top priorities for future poverty governance are relatively poor residents in urban areas and relatively poor “marginal” populations in rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Panax notoginseng is a kind of traditional and precious herbaceous officinal plant in our country. Its heavy metal pollution problem has already caused wide public concern, and the related studies have shown that a certain concentration of cadmium can produce inhibition for the its growth, cadmium stress can reduce its accumulation of saponins, the main pharmacodynamic component, and influence the quality of its medicinal materials. The health risk assessment of cadmium in it showed that the hazard quotient(HQ)was greater than one, which indicates that cadmium in it has non-carcinogenic risk to users. In order to reveal the response of different parts of P. notoginseng to cadmium toxicity, to clarify the basic characteristics of cadmium distribution in it by cadmium pollution of its different concentrations and the enrichment characteristics of its different parts, and to reveal the mechanism of cadmium stress on enrichment and transfer characteristics of its different parts. The triennial P. notoginseng was used as the experimental material in P. notoginseng garden, Jingxi City, Guangxi, under the condition of soil culture, with no cadmium treatment as the blank control and six cadmium concentration gradients(5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mg·kg-1), the characteristics of cadmium accumulation and transfer in its different parts were analyzed under the stress of different concentrations of cadmium. The results showed that cadmium accumulation in different organs(leaf, stem, scissor, fibrous root and taproot)increased significantly with the increase of cadmium concentration(P < 0.05), showing a positive correlation. The distribution characteristics of cadmium content in different parts of P. notoginseng were as follows: In the blank control group, the cumulative distribution of cadmium in each organ was fibrous root > cut root > tap root > stem > leaf; When the cadmium concentration was 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mg·kg-1, the distribution of cadmium was cut root > taproot > fibrous root > stem > leaf; The cadmium content in the underground part was significantly higher than that in the aboveground part, with the increase of cadmium concentration, the bioenrichment coefficient of both under-ground and above-ground parts decreased gradually.

Continuous cropping pot experiments with alluvia] soil were coducted to investigate the effects of 3 soil conditioners(organic fertilizer, dicyandiamide and liming) on the yield and quality of Chinese cabbage under interaction of nitrogen nutrition (N 0. 2 g · kg-l soil) and cadmium contamination(Cd 2.0 mg · kg-1 soil. The results showed the application of organic fertilizer (20 g/5kg soil) gignificant]y increased the content of Chinese cabbage Vc, soluble protein and soluble sugar and decreased significantly the accumulation of Pakchoi cadmium and nitrate. The application of Dicyandiamide (0.2144 g/5kg soil) significantly (P <0.05) increased the fresh weight, Vc content, soluble protein of Chinese cabbage and significantly (P <0. 05) reduced the accumulation of cadmium and nitrate in Chinese cabbage； The application of lime (20 g/5kg soil) significantly (P < 0.05) increased the content of Chinese cabbage Vc and soluble protein and significantly reduced (P < 0.05) the accumulation of its nitrate in the first season, but in the second quarter compared with the control group, there was a significant difference (P <0. 05) # and for two consecutive quarter of pot experiments ? tke accumulation of cadmium in Chinese cabbage were not significantly decreased(P < 0. 05 ). These results obtained in this study with organic manure and dicyandiamide were conducive for the improvement of yield and quality of Chinese cabbage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
