Abstract Objectives: Positive family functioning (FF) is critical for adolescent development, yet only a few studies have examined this developmental trajectory pathway. This study aimed to identify different types of FF development trajectories during junior high school students, investigate their influence on social avoidance (SA), and further examine the mediating role of preference for solitude (PS) between them. Methods: A three-wave longitudinal study was used with six-month intervals. Questionnaire data were collected from 436 junior high school students in Jiangxi Province, China. Participants ranged in age from 11 to 14 years old (Mean = 12.89 years,… More >

Abstract Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a significant issue in adolescent health due to their robust correlation with deficits in executive functions (EF) and health risk behaviors (HRBs). This study aimed to examine the association between ACEs and a range of HRBs, including substance use, sexual risk behavior, suicidal ideation, physical inactivity, and violence. Methods: This cross-sectional study used self-administered questionnaire and cluster sampling in seven junior high schools in Samarinda, Indonesia, with a sample size of 534 students. Data analysis using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, the independent t-test, ANOVA, binary logistic regression, and mediation… More >

Abstract Background: considering the significant issue of learning burnout among university students, it is essential to investigate the connection between mindfulness and learning burnout. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to thoroughly examine the direct and indirect relationships between mindfulness and learning burnout. Methods: a comprehensive literature search was conducted in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases until 07 July 2024. A comprehensive literature review analysis of 19 articles was included, which identified three dimensions of learning burnout: emotions, behaviors, and outcomes, determined the indirect and direct relationships between mindfulness and learning burnout, and… More >

Abstract Objectives: Social Network Addiction (SNA) is becoming increasingly prevalent among college students; however, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the measurement tools and their optimal cutoff score. This study aims to validate the 21-item Social Network Addiction Scale-Chinese (SNAS-C) in its Chinese version and to determine its optimal cutoff score for identifying potential SNA cases within the college student population. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted, recruiting 3387 college students. Latent profile analysis (LPA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were employed to establish the optimal cutoff score for the validated 21-item SNAS-C. Results:… More >

Abstract Objectives: Emotional exhaustion among healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacists, significantly impacts their well-being and efficacy in patient care. Understanding the psychological mechanisms contributing to emotional exhaustion is essential for developing effective interventions. The present research sought to investigate the potential mediating roles of rumination and coping strategies (adaptive and maladaptive) in the relationship between perceived stress and emotional exhaustion among pharmacists. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out between September 2023 and January 2024 involving 576 pharmacists working in public hospitals in Punjab who met the inclusion criteria and actively participated in the study. We employed… More >

Abstract Objectives: College students face increasing mental health challenges. Although Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is effective, the efficacy of Internet-based ACT (iACT) needs further exploration. Methods: This study examines the efficacy of iACT on college students’ mental health through a randomized controlled trial. We recruited 90 college students (19.16 ± 1.02 years old) and randomly divided them into the iACT group, face-to-face ACT group, and control group. The effects of the interventions were evaluated using the comprehensive assessment of ACT processes (CompACT) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Results: Two-factor repeated measures ANOVA revealed a… More >

Abstract The variable salinity in stored reservoirs connected by a long channel attracts the attention of scientists worldwide, having applications in environmental and geophysical engineering. This study explores the impact of Navier slip conditions on exchange flows within a long channel connecting two large reservoirs of differing salinity. These horizontal density gradients drive the flow. We modify the recent one-dimensional theory, developed to avoid runaway stratification, to account for the presence of uniform slip walls. By adjusting the parameters of the horizontal density gradient based on the slip factor, we resolve analytically various flow regimes ranging… More >

Abstract The accelerated global adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving significant expansion and increasing complexity within the EV charging infrastructure, consequently presenting novel and pressing cybersecurity challenges. While considerable effort has focused on preventative cybersecurity measures, a critical deficiency persists in structured methodologies for digital forensic analysis following security incidents, a gap exacerbated by system heterogeneity, distributed digital evidence, and inconsistent logging practices which hinder effective incident reconstruction and attribution. This paper addresses this critical need by proposing a novel, data-driven forensic framework tailored to the EV charging infrastructure, focusing on the systematic identification, classification,… More >

Abstract As primary load-bearing components extensively utilized in engineering applications, beam structures necessitate the design of their microstructural configurations to achieve lightweight objectives while satisfying diverse mechanical performance requirements. Combining topology optimization with fully coupled homogenization beam theory, we provide a highly efficient design tool to access desirable periodic microstructures for beams. The present optimization framework comprehensively takes into account for key deformation modes, including tension, bending, torsion, and shear deformation, all within a unified formulation. Several numerical results prove that our method can be used to handle kinds of microstructure design for beam-like structures, e.g., More >

Abstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a life support intervention for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock or severe cardiopulmonary failure. However, the choice of cannulation strategy remains contentious, partly due to insufficient understanding of hemodynamic characteristics associated with the site of arterial cannulation. In this study, a geometrical multiscale model was built to offer a mathematical tool for addressing the issue. The outflow cannula of ECMO was inserted into the ascending aorta in the case of central cannulation, whereas it was inserted into the right subclavian artery (RSA) or the left iliac artery (LIA) in… More >
