Abstract Background: Live streaming has become a globally prevalent form of digital entertainment, particularly among young audiences, fostering new modes of online engagement through real-time interaction. However, excessive use may lead to addictive behaviors in certain users. Current research on live-streaming addiction remains limited, with prior studies focusing primarily on socio-psychological drivers rather than the role of technological affordances. To address this gap, this study develops a conceptual model based on socio-technical systems and attachment theory to investigate how emotional and functional attachment mediate the relationship between platform features and addictive behavior. Methods: A total of 533… More >

Abstract A numerical method is presented to simulate bubble–particle interaction phenomena in particle-laden flows. The bubble surface is represented in an Eulerian framework by a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method, while particle motions are predicted in a Lagrangian framework. Different frameworks for describing bubble surfaces and particles make it difficult to predict the exact locations of collisions between bubbles and particles. An effective bubble, defined as having a larger diameter than the actual bubble represented by the VOF method, is introduced to predict the collision locations. Once the collision locations are determined, the attachment of particles to the More >

Abstract Background: While various factors contributing to delinquency have been explored, the role of self-esteem in this specific context has received little attention. Hence, this study aims to investigate the complex issue of adolescent delinquency in Iran by focusing on the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between parental attachment and delinquent behavior. Methods: Using the multistage cluster random sampling method, the research involved 528 high school students in Tehran. Each student completed validated scales assessing their parental attachment, self-esteem, and delinquency at school. Multiple regression analyses with the Sobel test and bootstrapping method were… More >

Abstract Objectives: Attachment is a profound and enduring connection to the emotion children progressively form with their parents as they mature. It significantly impacts the social and psychological development of kids and teenagers. This study aimed to explore the latent profiles and longitudinal transition patterns of parent-child and peer attachments among adolescents. Methods: A cohort of 914 participants from China completed the measures with a twelve-month interval. There were 46.8% boys and 53.2% girls in this survey. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was adopted to explore the distinct profiles reflecting different parent-child and peer attachment response patterns… More >

Abstract Background: Childhood environmental unpredictability (CEU) is crucial to personal development, profoundly influence physical and psychological growth particularly, and psychopathy is recognized as a dark personality trait. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of insecure attachment and life history strategy (LHS) on the relationship between CEU and psychopathy by establishing a sequential mediation model based on evolutionary life history theory and cognitive-affective personality system. Methods: A group of 532 undergraduates completed the measurements for CEU, insecure attachment, LHS, and psychopathy, and Bootstrap mediation test through SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS macro tool was… More >

Abstract Background: Early adolescents become increasingly conscious of their body image, which can profoundly impact their mental health and well-being. In South Korea, societal pressures and expectations regarding physical appearance are particularly intense, making the study of body-esteem in Korean adolescents especially pertinent. This study explores the roles of self-esteem, peer attachment, and maternal attachments in shaping body-esteem among early adolescents. Methods: Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed using data from 1326 Korean middle school students (Mean_age = 13.32, SD = 1.73). Results: The results revealed that self-esteem had a significantly positive effect on both peer attachment More >

Abstract Background: Although fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is the most important factor affecting the life quality of young breast cancer patients, and it may be affected by the patient’s personality, marital relationship and communication, there is a lack of research on the relationship between adult attachment, self-disclosure and FCR in patients. This study investigated the current situation of FCR in young breast cancer patients, its correlation with adult attachment and self-disclosure and its influencing factors, in order to predict the impact of adult attachment and self-disclosure of patients to spouse on FCR.

Abstract The implementation of China’s three-child fertility policy has led to a notable increase in multiple-child families. Notably, firstborn children experience a significant transition from being an only child to a non-only child. This transition is associated with problematic behaviors, affecting their social adjustment, sibling relationships, and family harmony. Although several studies have examined the relationship between parent-child attachment and problem behaviors exhibited by firstborn children during family transitions, the findings have been inconsistent. Hence, a meta-analytic study was undertaken to elucidate the inconsistencies in this relationship and explore the moderating factors that may contribute to… More >

Abstract Several assessing efforts are approved making both communication and information technologies available. In addition to being a part of universal access and service, we aim at assessing the impact of radio access technologies on universal access indicators. The proposed work demonstrates the possibility of inter-working of all existing Radio Access Technologies (RATs), in a limited area presented in the Six Generation Radio Resources Allocation (6 G-A) network. We propose a solution for the Vertical hand Over (VHO) in 6 G-A heterogeneous system, that adopts Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol to benefit between different used technologies… More >

Abstract The heat transfer performances of a microchannel heat sink in the presence of a nanofluid can be affected by the attachment of nanoparticle (NP) on the microchannel wall. In this study, the mechanisms underlying NP transport and attachment are comprehensively analyzed by means of a coupled double-distribution-function lattice Boltzmann model combined with lattice-gas automata. Using this approach, the temperature distribution and the two-phase flow pattern are obtained for different values of the influential parameters. The results indicate that the number of attached NPs decrease exponentially as their diameter and the fluid velocity grow. An increase… More >
