Abstract Background: Chinese elementary students face mental health challenges due to excessive academic pressures. Previous research has indicated that resilience is crucial for improving their mental health, which is fostered by a supportive family environment. This study, therefore, explored the impact of family organization on children’s resilience and examined whether proactive coping and mindfulness mediate this relationship. Methods: Data were collected from 702 elementary school students (grades 3–6) in 3 cities in China using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Validated scales measured family organization, proactive coping, mindfulness, and resilience. The hypothesized model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling… More >

Abstract Nanocrystals (~16 nm) of semiconducting lead sulphide (PbS) were synthesized using the coprecipitation method, which was characterized for phase and compositional purity. These ultrafine particles of PbS exhibited quantum confinement characteristics, which were revealed by blue-shifting in optical absorption using UV-DRS analysis. These QDs of PbS were driven under the influence of the applied electric field using monodispersed colloidal suspension on the Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) substrate using the electrophoretic deposition technique (EPD). The formation of self-organized arrays of PbS quantum dots (QDs) and their stacked assemblies was achieved through EPD. Interestingly, neither complexing agents nor templates More >

Abstract Objectives: While organizations are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI), its effects on employees’ well-being remain poorly understood. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study aimed to examine the underlying mechanism through which organizational AI adoption influences employees’ well-being. Methods: A two-wave time-lagged research design was conducted with 262 Chinese employees employing a voluntary and anonymous survey. The survey included measures of organizational AI adoption, AI use anxiety, job insecurity, subjective well-being, and psychological well-being. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software and macro PROCESS. Results: The moderation analysis revealed that AI use anxiety moderated the association… More >

Abstract This research sought to examine whether employees’ views of distributive justice within the organization moderate the influence of exploitative leadership on the depletion of their self-control resources, and whether self-control depletion serves as a mechanism linking exploitative leadership to employees’ taking charge behavior. Data were obtained from 299 employees in China (51.8% male; average age = 27.67 years, SD = 3.83) using a two-wave survey design with a two-week interval. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that distributive justice did not significantly buffer the impact of exploitative leadership on self-control depletion. Furthermore, exploitative leadership was found to More >

Abstract Effective data protection frameworks are vital for safeguarding personal information, fostering digital trust, and ensuring alignment with global standards. In Nigeria, the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), administered by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), constitutes the nation’s primary privacy framework, harmonized with principles of the European Union’s GDPR. This study evaluates NDPR compliance across six strategic sectors; finance, telecommunications, education, health, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and the public sector using a mixed-methods design. Data from 615 respondents in 30 organizations were collected through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal notable sectoral… More >

Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare systems globally, raising concerns about delayed cancer diagnosis and treatment. In France, transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) was prioritized in national urology guidelines to ensure the timely management of urothelial carcinoma. This study aimed to assess the impact of care reorganization on tumor staging, recurrence, palliative care, and mortality in bladder cancer patients from the pre-pandemic through late-pandemic periods. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicenter study including all patients who underwent TURBT with histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma between April and December of 2019 (pre-pandemic), 2020 (early pandemic), 2021… More >

Abstract This study examined the relationships among workplace spirituality, mindfulness, mental well-being, and organizational commitment in professional female dancers. A total of 424 dancers from the United States participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling indicated that workplace spirituality was positively associated with both mental well-being and organizational commitment, whereas mindfulness was significantly related only to organizational commitment. Mental well-being was a significant predictor of organizational commitment and mediated the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment, but not between mindfulness and commitment. These results suggest that workplace spirituality functions as a psychological resource that enhances More >

Abstract This study investigated the relationship between AI anxiety and deviant behavior, as well as the roles of emotional exhaustion and leader support in this context. The sample comprised 381 Chinese e-commerce employees (72.7% female, age range 21–36 years). The results of the Process model analysis indicate that AI anxiety significantly is associated with higher deviant behaviour. Emotional exhaustion partially mediates this relationship between AI anxiety and employee deviant behavior exacerbating deviant behaviour. Leader support moderates the AI anxiety effect on emotional exhaustion such that when leader support is low. AI anxiety is associated with higher More >

Abstract Identifying cloud IP usage scenarios is critical for cybersecurity applications, yet existing machine learning methods rely heavily on numerous features, resulting in high complexity and low interpretability. To address these issues, this paper proposes an approach to identify cloud IPs from the perspective of network attributes. We employ data mining and crowdsourced collection strategies to gather IP addresses from various usage scenarios, which including cloud IPs and non-cloud IPs. On this basis, we establish a cloud IP identification feature set that includes attributes such as Autonomous System Number (ASN) and organization information. By analyzing the… More >

Abstract Employees’ innovative performance determines an organization’s innovation, which critically impacts its structural optimization and sustainability. Applying expectancy theory, we examined how and when the Pygmalion effect occurs in the relationship between leaders’ expectations of innovation and employee innovative behavior. Our sample comprised 201 frontline employees (female = 31.84%; mean age = 41.48 years, SD = 7.97 years) in a Chinese coal enterprise, who completed surveys on innovation expectations of leaders, expected positive performance outcomes, innovative self-efficacy and innovative behavior. The results revealed that employees’ expected positive performance outcomes mediated the positive relationship between leaders’ innovation More >
