Published: December 2023

Objective Given the high suicide risk among people with schizophrenia and other mental disorders and the significance of intervention in the daily life setting, tailored gatekeeper training is necessary for families of people with mental disorders. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a suicide prevention education program for families of people with mental disorders (SPEM-F), developed by the Korea Foundation for Suicide Prevention.Methods Fifty-nine family members of people with mental disorders were recruited from eight community psychiatric rehabilitation centers in Korea and enrolled in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Four facilities were randomized to the experimental group (n=30) and four to the control group (n=29). The study parameters were measured at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up; the effects of SPEM-F (90 minutes, conducted offline) were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The dependent variables were suicide-related knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, preventive behavioral intention, and family problem-solving communication.Results The experimental group showed significant increases in suicide-related knowledge (p<0.001), self-efficacy (p<0.05), and preventive behavioral intention (p<0.01) compared with the control group until the 1-month follow-up, including an upward trend in improved family problem-solving communication (p=0.069).Conclusion The results confirm that SPEM-F is an effective evidence-based gatekeeper training program for families of people with mental disorders, as it focuses on knowledge, self-efficacy, preventive behavioral intention, and communication improvement. As families of people with mental disorders including schizophrenia, are both highly motivated and close to people at high risk for suicide, SPEM-F can effectively promote suicide prevention and gatekeeper activities.

Published: December 2023

Objective We aimed to evaluate the impact of interaction between APOE ε4 carrier status and body composition measurements on intra- and inter-regional functional connectivity (FC) in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients with Aβ deposition.Methods MCI patients with and without APOE ε4 allele (carrier, n=86; non-carrier, n=95) underwent neuropsychological battery, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans, positron emission tomography scans with [18F]flutemetamol, and bioelectrical impedance analysis for measuring body composition. We employed a priori defined regions of interest to investigate the intra- and inter-network FC profiles of default mode network (DMN), central executive network (CEN), and salience network.Results There was a significant interaction of APOE ε4 carrier status with body fat mass index, visceral fat area, and waist-hip circumference ratio for inter-network FC between DMN and CEN, contributing higher fat-related body composition measurements in the APOE ε4 carrier with lower DMN-CEN FC.Conclusion The present results highlight the detrimental effect of APOE ε4 carrier status on the associations between the fat-related body composition measurements and FC in the MCI patients with Aβ accumulation.

Published: December 2023

Mice are widely used as small animal models for influenza infection and immunization studies because of their susceptibility to many strains of influenza, obvious clinical signs of infection, and ease of handling. Analgesia is rarely used in such studies even if nonstudy effects such
as fight wounds, tail injuries, or severe dermatitis would otherwise justify it because of concerns that treatment might have confounding effects on primary study parameters such as the course of infection and/or the serological response to infection. However, analgesia for study-related or
-unrelated effects may be desirable for animal welfare purposes. Opioids, such as extended-release buprenorphine, are well-characterized analgesics in mice and may have fewer immune-modulatory effects than other drug classes. In this study, BALB/c and DBA/2 mice were inoculated with influenza
virus, and treatment groups received either no analgesics or 2 doses of extended-release buprenorphine 72 h apart. Clinical signs, mortality, and influenza-specific antibody responses were comparable in mice that did or did not receive buprenorphine. We therefore conclude that extended-release
buprenorphine can be used to alleviate incidental pain during studies of influenza infection without altering the course of infection or the immune response.

Madiun Regency is one of the districts on the island of Java, precisely in the province of East Java. Based on research from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG), Madiun City has several potential disasters, one of which is flooding with a high category. This is because Madiun Regency has two streams, namely Kali Sono and Kali Piring which head up on the slopes of Mount Wilis, Madiun Regency. Both times it ended in the Jerohan River in the Balerejo District, Madiun Regency which is a tributary of the Bengawan Madiun River. When heavy rains fell, parts of Madiun City were immediately inundated by flood waters. To anticipate floods, this research proposes a prototype design of a flood disaster early warning system using multiple sensors based on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) in Madiun Regency. Which in the design uses the waterfall and Arduino methods. The prototype built is able to provide early warning information. The data that has been taken can be displayed on the web which functions as a monitoring system, so that officers can carry out supervision more easily and take action when the situation is dangerous. With the prototype and the system made, it is expected to be able to minimize losses caused by floods.

Published: December 2023

Scientific literature plays a significant role in the academic requirements of colleges, encompassing various types such as papers, reports, journals, and scripts. However, the issue of plagiarism, including the copying and plagiarizing of others' work, remains prevalent in the creation of scientific papers. In particular, digital content plagiarism often involves copy-pasting and quoting from original documents. To address this, measuring the similarity of words between documents becomes essential. In Dhamayanti's research, the recommendation is to enhance the Rabin-Karp algorithm by utilizing a distinct method [1]. This study builds upon previous research employing a string-matching method. Instead of the conventional cosine method, the substitution method employed string-Karp techniques within the Rabin-Karp algorithm, resulting in improved similarity percentages. The manufacturing of the application adopts the string-matching method using the Rabin-Karp algorithm. The algorithm matches 5-gram word sequences converted into hash values, and the similarity percentage is determined based on matching hash values. The presence of identical words indicates similarity. The application is tested using six scientific writing documents from diverse sources with related titles. Through 15 test runs, the accuracy level reached 90%.

The rapid development of information technology has led most people to choose to use digital banking and financial services to carry out various financial transactions. The most common crimes that occur are in the banking industry, including hacking (hacking of digital services), skimming (copying data information from digital service users), defacing (replacing or modifying digital service pages), phishing (deception of digital service users), BEC (business email compromise), and social engineering (social engineering to digital service users). To measure the level of cyber security awareness among users of digital financial services in Indonesia using the AHP method. This research is a quantitative study by distributing online questionnaires, then analyzed using the AHP method to find out which criteria have the highest or lowest scores. The largest weight of these criteria is knowledge of 0.5009, then sequentially is attitude of 0.3307, and behavior of 0.173. Digital financial service users already have insight or knowledge regarding how to maintain the security of their personal data, but it is still lacking in its application, so it is necessary to conduct in-depth re-education regarding the big risks given by carelessly maintaining privacy data. On the Attitude criteria; users still save PIN/passwords in smartphone notes, install applications outside the Play Store or App Store, rarely update the operating system on their smartphones, and leave their smartphones to other people or public places. On the Behavior criteria; users still use the same PIN/password on different accounts.

Authors: Radić Radmila
Published: December 2023

This essay is a review of Maria Falina’s book, which investigates the complex interaction between the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC), nationalism, and politics in Yugoslavia during the interwar period. It delves into Maria Falina’s ideas, historical context, and various perspectives that she offers. Falina questions commonly held beliefs about the natural relationship between religion and Serbian nationalism, and digs into the SOC’s changing role as a political actor during a period of profound social and political change. Falina investigates the influence of people such as Nikolaj Velimirović and Justin Popović, the Church’s reaction to the Yugoslav state, religious competition, and modernity issues.
CO2 and CH4 absorption powered by nuclear fusion, via fission, is the only way to manage climate change and the Planet’s trigger points
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: December 2023

We propose the only viable way to still save the planet for humanity. Indeed we argue that the planet climate and ecosystems has already triggered several trigger points. In such systems, change will change exponentially with time, even without any source of excitation anymore. As a result, all our prediction of climate change impacts are already underestimating the effects, as we observe daily, and feel-good measures like grass root ecology or emission reductions are just too late and risk distracting from what needs to be done, now, not later. There is no time for later.The proposal is as follows: to starve off the exponentials, we must re-absorb CO2, CH4 and any other relevant pollutant to preindustrial levels without re-emitting other fossil fuel. It is a planet scale endeavor that requires nuclear fusion to power it. While we learn to dominate fusion, we must use nuclear fission to start re-absorption now. We can’t wait. We have to start now.
Beliefs about Others’ Positive Emotional Expressions Diverge by Target Social Class and Emotion Orientation: Evidence from Four Countries

Published: December 2023

Our beliefs about others’ emotional expressions are influenced by their racial, gender, and occupational identities; but does their social class also play a role? With increasing economic disparities and the commonality of interactions across social classes in daily life, examining beliefs related to social class is particularly critical. Here we investigated beliefs about others’ emotional expressions in relation to the targets’ social class, focusing on two types of positive emotions: self-oriented (e.g., pride) and other-oriented (e.g., gratitude). Four studies were conducted in the UK (Study 1, n = 200, pre-registered), India, UAE (Study 2a and 2b, total n = 565, exploratory), and the US (Study 3, n = 1,616, pre-registered). Contrary to our hypothesis, people did not believe that upper-class individuals would express more positive emotions than lower-class individuals. However, as predicted, we consistently found that people associate higher social class with expressing more self-oriented positive emotions, and lower social class with showing more other-oriented positive emotions. These findings extend the social-functional view of positive emotional expressions to the domain of social class and highlight the consistency of these beliefs across cultures.
Data Protection in the Era of Algorithmic Pricing: A Comparative Analysis of the USA, EU, and China
Authors: Cui Hao
Published: December 2023

In the era of algorithmic pricing, there is increasing recognition of the importance of data security. Various countries have begun to establish their own data protection regimes. The most widely discussed are the radically different regimes in the EU and the US, while China has taken a unique direction in data protection development after absorbing the experiences of both Europe and the US and combining them with its own political characteristics. This paper explores the relationship between algorithmic pricing and data protection, and argues for the development of a data protection regime to address data security challenges in the era of algorithmic pricing. Through comparative legal research, this paper compares the data protection legal regimes of the European Union, the United States and China from three perspectives: legal principles, international impact and case applications.Through comparative analyses, this paper concludes that a comprehensive data protection regime is more effective than data regulations scattered in various documents. By studying the comparative analysis of three countries, especially the international impact of the EU data protection regime, this paper concludes that a global data protection standard can be recognised and summarised. Such a standard should have four basic elements: 1) the comprehensive empowerment of data subjects, 2) effective and independent intervention by supervisory authorities, 3) a strict ex ante preventive review mechanism, and 4) a satisfactory ex-post relief system. This paper suggests that each country’s data protection system can be designed with reference to this standard and in the light of the specific conditions of the country.In summary, the comparative analyses in this paper provide new perspectives for an in-depth understanding of the changes in data protection legal regimes in different countries in the era of algorithmic pricing. This will help promote more effective data protection laws and policymaking around the world.

The general skeletal features of Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis: what the radiologist needs to know
Authors: Albahkali Salha mohammed , Alsaiady Moath
Published: December 2023

Purpose of review: Radiographic imaging is the first investigational step in detecting of Multicentric carporarsal osteolysis, and the radiologist must be aware then familiar with the radiolgical features in order both to reach a prompt diagnosis and then to classify the patient’s condition at this important time for considering early management. Here we review the literature on this topic. Recent Findings: Patients with multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO) are frequently diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Initially, their symptoms are arthritic and include pain, swelling and stiffness. Among the many published studies, some are case reports that describe the phenotypical manifestations with a brief discussion of the radiographic findings and subsequently of the genetic analysis which eventually leads to a definitive diagnosis. Some patients develop end stage renal failure, and a delay in identifying this condition can lead to unfavorable progression of the disease. In addition, we found reports of joint inflammation based on imaging and of pain relief with antirheumatics for osteolysis and bone destruction. Various studies discuss the radiological findings, including the disappearance of the carpal and tarsal bones. Others describe the genetic mutations, including MAFB, that are associated with the condition, and its possible management through the use of therapeutic drugs. A very recent description of serial radiographs taken from a young age suggests that dysfunctional bone formation can play a role in the skeletal phenotype of MCTO.Summary: The unique features of clinical presentation, atypical radiological findings, failure to obtain remission with medical treatment and consanguinity, should guide clinicians towards diagnosis of this condition. We summarize the X-ray findings which are highly specific and can therefore differentiate with confidence between this condition and others. Further performance of genetic tests is confirmative.
Social distancing: Identity, perceived reality and policy preferences under pandemic threat
Authors: Yakir Itamar , Sulitzeanu-Kenan Raanan
Published: December 2023

Extreme crises hold the potential to unite societies, but also to deepen sociopolitical divisions. The ability of societies to choose unity over divide depends on political leadership, pre-crisis inter-group relations, and on the behavior – real and perceived – of these groups during the crisis. This paper asks how does social identity affect the perception of an outgroup’s situation under a common threat. We utilize the fact that the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has hit Israel’s regions and social groups unevenly, and thus has created differences in groups’ morbidity rates – for studying perceptions of ingroup and outgroup morbidity. We find that minority groups tend to overestimate outgroup morbidity and underestimate ingroup morbidity, especially when they themselves are characterized by high morbidity rates. These perceptions are partly debiased when people are asked to reflect on their situation. In addition, we find that people support harsher policy toward implied non-compliers, but also that biased perceptions do not translate into biased policy preferences. The importance of our findings lies in suggesting that perceptions of outgroup’s situation can reflect intergroup relations, but may also trigger further deterioration in social divide at times of extreme crises.

Generative artificial intelligence has the potential to both exacerbate and ameliorate existing socioeconomic inequalities. In this article, we provide a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary overview of the potential impacts of generative AI on (mis)information and three information-intensive domains: work, education, and healthcare. Our goal is to highlight how generative AI could worsen existing inequalities while illuminating how AI may help mitigate pervasive social problems. In the information domain, generative AI can democratize content creation and access, but may dramatically expand the production and proliferation of misinformation. In the workplace, it can boost productivity and create new jobs, but the benefits will likely be distributed unevenly. In education, it offers personalized learning, but may widen the digital divide. In healthcare, it might improve diagnostics and accessibility, but could deepen pre-existing inequalities. In each section we cover a specific topic, evaluate existing research, identify critical gaps, and recommend research directions, including explicit trade-offs that complicate the derivation of a priori hypotheses. We conclude with a section highlighting the role of policymaking to maximize generative AI’s potential to reduce inequalities while mitigating its harmful effects. We discuss strengths and weaknesses of existing policy frameworks in the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, observing that each fails to fully confront the socioeconomic challenges we have identified. We propose several concrete policies that could promote shared prosperity through the advancement of generative AI. This article emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaborations to understand and address the complex challenges of generative AI.
Stressors and Coping Strategies in Esports: A Systematic Review
Authors: Leis Oliver , Sharpe Benjamin T , Fritsch Julian , Poulus Dylan R
Published: December 2023

This systematic review synthesizes findings from 19 studies on stressors and coping strategies in esports, following the PRISMA guidelines and employing the SPIDER framework. The review reports stressors in esports, with performance stressors such as defeat and performance pressure prominently observed, followed by team, organizational, and personal stressors. A diverse range of coping strategies were identified, representing Nicholls et al. (2016)’s classification. Internal regulation emerged as the most frequently reported coping strategy, followed by mastery coping, while goal withdrawal strategies were less frequently reported. The review reveals similarities and distinctions compared to traditional sports, highlighting the role of stressors such as social media and equipment challenges in esports. However, personal stressors were rarely reported in the studies. The review also identifies research gaps in stressor appraisal and communal coping strategies. Future research could delve into personal stressors, considering a wide array of psychological factors, and employing dynamic methodologies. Practical implications revolve around tailored interventions, promoting open communication, mastery coping techniques, and holistic well-being strategies. This review provides a broader understanding of esports stressors and coping strategies, offering a starting point for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing performance and well-being in the distinctive competitive landscape of esports.
A Causal Framework for the Comparability of Latent Variables
Authors: Sterner Philipp , Pargent Florian , Deffner Dominik , Goretzko David
Published: December 2023

Measurement invariance (MI) describes the equivalence of measurement models of a construct across groups or time. When comparing latent means, MI is often stated as a prerequisite of meaningful group comparisons. The most common way to investigate MI is multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA). Although numerous guides exist, a recent review showed that MI is rarely investigated in practice. We argue that one reason might be that the results of MG-CFA are uninformative as to why MI does not hold between groups. Consequently, under this framework, it is difficult to regard the study of MI an interesting and constructive step in the modeling process. We show how directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from the causal inference literature can guide researchers in reasoning about the causes of non-invariance. For this, we first show how DAGs for measurement models can be translated into the path diagrams used in the linear structural equation model (SEM) literature. We then demonstrate how insights gained from this causal perspective can be used to explicitly model encoded causal assumptions with moderated SEMs, allowing for a more enlightening investigation of MI. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a framework in which the investigation of MI is not deemed a “gateway test” that simply licenses further analyses. By enabling researchers to consider MI as an interesting part of the modeling process, we hope to increase the prevalence of investigations of MI altogether.
The Reaction of the Legislature to the Initiation of an Excessive Deficit Procedure. The Example of Poland in 2004–2008 and 2009–2015
Authors: Chmielnicki Paweł , Strzała Karol
Published: December 2023

Accession to the European Union means that each Member State must comply, under the community treaties that have been adopted, with several principles and numerous operating standards, among which one can distinguish the maintenance of public finance discipline at a sufficiently low level. An instrument supporting the preservation of an adequate balance of public finance is the so-called excessive deficit procedure. Poland was subjected to the excessive deficit procedure in two periods: 2004–2008 and 2009–2015. The article employs a unique research methodology to establish long-term trends in law creation, based on the theory of supply and demand. In particular, this text focuses on the question of whether a certain law was intended to increase or decrease the costs of performing state functions. It demonstrates through the use of the tools of mathematical modeling that the excessive deficit procedure applied to Poland not only had an impact on state finances, but also had a long-term effect on the legislature, which consistently created regulations aimed at reducing public expenditure. The paper underlines the significance of sustainable public finances for macroeconomic stability, using Poland as a case study. Despite the beneficial impact of the excessive deficit procedure in reducing Poland’s public debt, the research uncovers a recurring pattern of increasing public spending after improving financial stability.
Rozporządzenie jako źródło procesowego prawa podatkowego
Authors: Hanusz Antoni
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed characterisation of a regulation as a source of procedural tax law. A statutory norm of competence may constitute the basis for the issuance of executive acts in the form of the regulations by public administration bodies. Such a normative act, which is not self-contained, serves to implement the law, and thus regulates matters covered by the statutory regulation, specifying the provisions of the authorising act. Ordinances governing procedural relations contain abstract and general norms, and, in exceptional cases, specific norms. They also define the procedural relations necessary for the implementation of the norms of substantive tax law. Regulations may develop in a more detailed and comprehensive manner the provisions of tax procedure contained in laws. Therefore, the provisions of the tax law contained in regulations may influence the shape of the tax proceedings. The provisions of the ordinances may cover individual procedural steps and systemic issues related to entities responsible for specific procedural activities.

Introduction. The etiology and pathophysiological links of hand-arm vibration syndrome have been sufficiently studied today, but the issue of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of patients with a comorbid phenotype remains relevant. Aim. Study of nutritional and metabolic status in patients with the comorbid phenotype of hand-arm vibration syndrome in combination with arterial hypertension. Materials and methods. An analysis of nutritional and metabolic parameters was carried out on the basis of the Regional Center for Occupational Pathology in Novosibirsk in 431 people working at the aircraft plant named after V.P. Chkalov, Novosibirsk. Of these: 104 patients diagnosed hand-arm vibration syndrome of the stage I, 101 patients with hand-arm vibration syndrome in combination with arterial hypertension, 107 patients with stage I-II arterial hypertension and 119 people working at the same enterprise without contact with vibration. Results.

Aim. To demonstrate a clinical case of autoimmune hepatitis type 1 in a patient aged 10 years. Key points. Certain infections can cause frequently asymptomatic and self-limited hepatitis, while others may result to severe acute hepatitis and/or act as a trigger for autoimmune hepatitis in young children. We present the case of a previously healthy 10-year-old girl with a syndrome of cytolysis and cholestasis who had elevated serum transaminases, Epstein — Barr virus (EBV) serology compatible with recent EBV infection, and positive anti-smooth muscle antibody characteristic of onset autoimmune hepatitis type 1. Liver biopsy was also typical of autoimmune hepatitis as attested by the presence of portal inflammation and interface hepatitis. Persistent EBV-related hepatitis was excluded by negative serum EBV-PCR. Conclusion. The presented clinical case suggests that in children with cholestatic hepatitis, positive EBV serology cannot exclude the presence of other causes of liver disease. In this context, autoimmune hepatitis should be considered as an alternate diagnosis, particularly when there is specific liver-related autoantibody detection. In such conditions, a liver biopsy seems mandatory to achieve a correct and on-time diagnosis of a poor prognostic disease such as autoimmune hepatitis. Keywords: autoimmune hepatitis, Epstein — Barr virus, liver transaminase elevation, anti-smooth muscle antibody
Mekanisme Insolvency Test Dalam Mencegah Iktikad Buruk Pemailitan Korporasi Oleh Kreditor
Authors: Andrian
Published: December 2023

Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2004 tentang Kepailitan dan Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang memberikan alternatif hukum kepada kreditor maupun debitor untuk mengajukan permohonan kepailitan atau PKPU. Baik permohonan kepailitan maupun PKPU, debitor diberikan kesempatan untuk mengajukan proposal perdamaian kepada kreditor. Di dalam proses PKPU, ketika proposal perdamaian ditolak, maka debitor dinyatakan pailit. Konsekuensi yang terjadi ketika debitor dinyatakan pailit yang dimulai dari proses PKPU adalah debitor tidak memiliki upaya hukum yang dapat dilakukan, baik itu kasasi ataupu peninjauan kembali. Celah hukum tersebut menjadi permasalahan hukum yang seharusnya dapat diselesaikan dengan cara insolvency test sebagai kewenangan pengadilan untuk memeriksa kesehatan keuangan dan keberlangsungan usaha korporasi (going concern) untuk mencegah kesengajaan pemailitan oleh kreditor. Perihal konsep inosolvency test dan posibilitas penerapan gagasan ini perlu untuk dikaji lebih lanjut menurut hukum positif dan asas-asas kepailitan yang berlaku menurut UUKPKPU. Dalam melakukan kajian terhadap insolvency test tersebut, penulis akan menggunakan jenis penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan-pendekakatan analisis berupa pendekatan konseptual dan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Adapun hasil yang dicapai berdasarkan pembahasan ini berupa rekomendasi yuridis bagi legislator untuk merumuskan muatan insolvency test dalam UUKPKPU yang baru.

The thesis explores the influence of climatic factors on the development of solar energy in Chernivtsi region. Emphasis is placed on studying the impact of geographical location and the duration of the day on the formation of solar radiation and, as a result, on the capacity of solar power plants. It has been established that the capacity of solar power plants and the volume of electricity production depend largely on the duration of the day and the amount of solar radiation received by solar panels from the surrounding environment.

The amount of direct and scattered radiation that reaches solar panels for electricity production is significantly affected by cloud cover (cloudiness). Therefore, considerable attention is given to the study of the influence of sky cloudiness on the efficiency of solar panels. Analysis of the data obtained from the meteorological station at Chernivtsi airport revealed that the highest degree of cloudiness in Chernivtsi region is observed during the winter months.

Consequently, as a result of this research, it has been found that the mentioned factors significantly affect the capacity of solar panels and the volumes of electricity production. The most favorable period for solar energy production is summer, while the winter creates the least favorable conditions for its functioning. The study emphasizes the seasonal dependence of solar energy capacities in Chernivtsi region.

Keywords: solar energy, climatic factors, cloudiness, solar radiation.
Preparation of Temperature-Sensitive Colour-Changing Materials and Their Applications to Clothing Fabrics: Taking a Compound Composed of Crystal Violet Lactone, Bisphenol A, and Octadecanol as an Example

A compound was prepared using crystal violet lactone, bisphenol A, and octadecanol. An in-situ polymerization method was used to prepare temperature-sensitive colour-changing microcapsules. It was printed on fabrics using printing technology. The colour-changing performance of the composite material, thermal weight changes of the microcapsules, and properties of the fabric coated with microcapsules were analyzed using cases. Printed fabric properties of colour fastness to washing, rubbing, strength and colour strength (K/S) were measured in terms of binder (%), a crosslinking agent (%), and temperature variations. The results indicated that the compound gradually changed from purple to blue within the temperature range of 3 °C to 60 °C and eventually faded into a colourless state. The weight of the microcapsule powder decreased as the temperature rose, with no significant change in weight before reaching 100 °C. Between 100 °C and 200 °C, there was a rapid decrease in weight, followed by a slow decrease between 200 °C and 350 °C. After reaching 350 °C, the weight tended to stabilize. When the mass fraction of the cross-linker was 3%, the mass fraction of the binder was 25%, and the baking temperature was 120 °C, the colour fastness, fabric strength, and K/S value (colour intensity) of the cotton fabric coated with microcapsules were optimal.
