    Yujing Tao*

    Journal of Psychology in Africa, Vol.35, No.1, pp. 99-105, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jpa.2025.065783 - 30 April 2025

    Abstract This study investigated the relationship between college students’ awe and depression, along with the mediating roles of future self-continuity and presence of meaning. 891 Chinese college students (570 female; mean age 18.59; SD 1.34) from one university completed four surveys: Dispositional Awe Subscale, Future self-continuity Scale, Meaning in Life Scale and Depression Scale. Using structural equation modelling and the bootstrap method, the results delineated that awe negatively related to depression, and future self-continuity and presence of meaning had a serial mediation effect, reducing depression. The study implies educational institutions should foster a positive mental health More >

    Abstract Introduction: We evaluate the rate of developing ciprofloxacin resistance in patients undergoing repeat prostate biopsies (PBx), associated risk factors, and impact on complications.
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated pre-procedural rectal culture (RCx) data in men undergoing PBx from 1/1/2016 to 1/15/2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were utilized to identify risk factors associated with development of antibiotic resistance. Complication rates were compared between ciprofloxacin-sensitive and ciprofloxacin resistant patients.
    Results: A total of 743 men underwent initial RCx. Initial RCx detected ciprofloxacin resistance in 22% of patients. A history of diabetes (p = 0.01), > 2 prior prostate… More >

    Intelligent PID Control Method for Quadrotor UAV with Serial Humanoid Intelligence

    Linlin Zhang, Lvzhao Bai, Jianshu Liang, Zhiying Qin*, Yuejing Zhao

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.6, pp. 1557-1579, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2024.054237 - 22 November 2024

    Abstract Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in inspection, agriculture, express delivery, and other fields owing to their low cost and high flexibility. However, the current UAV control system has shortcomings such as poor control accuracy and weak anti-interference ability to a certain extent. To address the control problem of a four-rotor UAV, we propose a method to enhance the controller’s accuracy by considering underactuated dynamics, nonlinearities, and external disturbances. A mathematical model is constructed based on the flight principles of the quadrotor UAV. We develop a control algorithm that combines humanoid intelligence with… More >

    Could Military Commanders’ Good Leadership Influence Subordinates’ Smartphone Overdependence? A Serial Mediation Analysis

    Seungju Hyun1, Xyle Ku1,2, Sungrok Kang1, Yoonyoung Choi1, Jaewon Ko1, Hyunyup Lee1,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.11, pp. 1187-1195, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.030745 - 08 December 2023

    Abstract Owing to the ubiquitous use of smartphones by soldiers, military researchers have an increasing interest in potentially problematic side effects such as smartphone overdependence. This raises a question regarding the psychological mechanisms underlying the potentially self-damaging use of smartphones. Here, we address this question by analyzing how heterogeneity in commander’s good leadership explains subordinate soldiers’ differences in self-control and smartphone use. Specifically, we found that subordinate soldiers who thought their commander's leadership was good were self-regulated, less dependent on smartphones, less stressed, and finally had good mental health. This result indicates that commander’s good leadership More >

    Serial Multiple Mediation of the Relationship between Positive Coping Style and Post-Traumatic Growth among Chinese College Students in the Aftermath of COVID-19

    Qi Li, Jinsheng Hu*, Peng Wan

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.11, pp. 1173-1186, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.030343 - 08 December 2023

    Abstract

    Given the ongoing character of COVID-19, higher-education students encountered multifaceted pressures brought about by the pandemic and had to overcome many difficulties during this period. Accordingly, it is imperative to identify the factors that may have protective effects on the social functioning and mental status of college students in the aftermath of COVID-19. This cross-sectional study sought to ascertain the internal mechanism of positive coping (PC) styles affecting post-traumatic growth (PTG) and considered the mediating roles of cognitive reappraisal (CR), psychological resilience (PR), and deliberate rumination (DR), which are essential for understanding how and to

    Abstract Background: The attenuation function of Dalbergia odorifera leaves on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is little known. The candidate targets for the Chinese herb were extracted from brain tissues through the high-affinity chromatography. The molecular mechanism of D. odorifera leaves on cerebral I/R was investigated. Methods: Serial affinity chromatography based on D. odorifera leaves extract (DLE) affinity matrices were applied to find specific binding proteins in the brain tissues implemented on C57BL/6 mice by intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h and reperfusion for 24 h. Specific binding proteins were subjected to mass-spectrometry to search for the differentially expressed… More >

    The Effects of Job Insecurity, Emotional Exhaustion, and Met Expectations on Hotel Employees’ Pro-Environmental Behaviors: Test of a Serial Mediation Model

    Osman M. Karatepe1,*, Raheleh Hassannia1, Tuna Karatepe1, Constanţa Enea2, Hamed Rezapouraghdam1

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 287-307, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2022.025706 - 02 February 2023

    Abstract There are a plethora of empirical pieces about employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. However, the extant literature has either ignored or not fully examined various factors (e.g., negative or positive non-green workplace factors) that might affect employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. Realizing these voids, the present paper proposes and tests a serial mediation model that examines the interrelationships of job insecurity, emotional exhaustion, met expectations, and proactive pro-environmental behavior. We used data gathered from hotel customer-contact employees with a time lag of one week and their direct supervisors in China. After presenting support for the psychometric properties of the More >
