arXiv:2608. 04016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social disadvantage is associated with multimorbidity, but the pathways linking social conditions to disease burden remain poorly understood.

arXiv:2607. 04520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active mobility is widely promoted for sustainable and healthier living, but whether it translates into equitable mental health benefits across individuals and places over time remains unknown.

arXiv:2606. 15257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Air pollution regulation is central to urban public health governance, but estimating its effects is difficult because policies are implemented non-randomly and pollution trajectories are shaped by meteorology, socioeconomic change, temporal trends, and overlapping interventions.

arXiv:2606. 06174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Childhood asthma is a common illness exacerbated by air pollution as well as meteorological and neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors.

arXiv:2510. 08762v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal inference in spatial domains faces two intertwined challenges: (1) unmeasured spatial factors, such as weather, air pollution, or mobility, that confound treatment and outcome, and (2) interference from nearby treatments that violate standard no-interference assumptions.

arXiv:2608. 14254v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fugitive emissions from waste sites increasingly expose communities to toxic and odorous gases, yet public-health responses remain largely retrospective, with episodes investigated only after residents have been exposed.

arXiv:2607. 17024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Air pollution and climate-related stressors are increasingly important concerns for respiratory health, especially in settings with unequal environmental exposure and healthcare capacity.

arXiv:2606. 18129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent incidents involving LLMs used for mental-health support reveal a critical evaluation gap: surface-level safety scores do not capture how models behave across realistic, emotionally sensitive interactions over time.

arXiv:2608. 06485v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personality-conditioned LLM agents (PC-Agents) are increasingly used in emotional support, social simulation, and role-playing, motivating the development of lifelong agents that remain coherent over extended interactions.

arXiv:2606. 17010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Heterogeneous Treatment Effect (HTE) identification is crucial to explain the impact of an intervention and optimize our policies accordingly.

arXiv:2607. 26853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human personality theories characterize traits not as isolated attributes captured by a single score, but as stable individual tendencies expressed through the interplay among persons, situations, and behaviors.

arXiv:2608. 07518v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Longitudinal, in-the-wild, wearable sensing yields day-level physiology, sleep, activity, and environmental streams, whereas affect and cognition are labeled only episodically (per waves).
