Currently, obesity is considered a major health threat in developed countries. Various approaches have historically provided different solutions for individuals with obesity. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and Life Therapy on emotion regulation and eating attitudes in women with obesity. The present research was a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test with a control group and follow-up period. The sample consisted of 45 women with obesity who sought treatment at the Omid Clinic of Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital. They were selected through purposive non-random sampling and randomly assigned into two experimental groups (schema therapy and Life Therapy) and one control group. The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) by Garnefski et al. (2002) and the Eating Attitude Test (EAT) by Garner and Garfinkel (1979) were employed. Each experimental group underwent eight 90-minute sessions of either schema therapy or Life Therapy, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The findings indicated that both schema therapy and Life Therapy significantly affect emotion regulation and eating attitudes (p < 0.05). Moreover, Life Therapy was found to be more effective than schema therapy in improving emotion regulation and eating attitudes (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that both schema therapy and Life Therapy are effective in improving emotion regulation and attitudes towards eating in women with obesity, with Life Therapy being more effective. Thus, these approaches can be utilized alongside medical interventions and care in treatment centers.

Authors: Deng Tianyin
Published: May 2024

The 1930s was an important turning point in the history of China's development, and the turbulence of the times also affected the spiritual world of intellectuals. Amidst the literary world of different schools of thought, Shen Congwen, with his unique identity, constructed a world of Western Hunan blending local customs and cultural atmosphere. In the 1930s, Shen Congwen, on the one hand, held fast to his self-identity as a countryman by virtue of his bloodline rooted in the countryside, and on the other hand, his life experience of moving from the countryside to the city enabled him to gain the identity of a "marginal man" in the society. While hovering between the urban and rural areas ,this led Shen to create a lot of far-reaching, complex and diversified characters in the western Hunan world. This process also reveals the impact of the formation of the Dual urban-rural structure on the author.

A Spinozist Defense on Freedom of Conscience
Authors: Liu Jinze
Published: May 2024

Spinoza tried to defend freedom of conscience in his political writings. To this end, he offers two arguments, one negative and the other positive. Negative arguments emphasize that a person’s right to judgment cannot be completely eradicated, and positive arguments emphasize the utility of protecting freedom of conscience. I argue that if Spinoza wants to criticize tyranny, he must emphasize positive arguments, even though he emphasizes negative ones more. I respond to Curley’s criticism of Spinoza by emphasizing positive argument.

Authors: Tian Jiageng
Published: May 2024

With the advent of the information and network era, new opportunities have emerged for the development of educational and teaching work. In the context of public physical teaching in universities, the rational application of modern information technology based on actual development situations plays a significant role. It can enrich teaching methods, improve teaching efficiency, meet students' diverse learning experiences, and ensure the quality and efficiency of teaching. However, due to objective factors, there are still some problems in the actual application process, such as the limited ability of some teachers to use information technology and the lack of investment in teaching resources, which directly limit the advantages of information technology and even affect the final teaching effectiveness, leading to counterproductive effects. Therefore, in the future development, it is necessary to strengthen the information technology training for teachers, improve their application ability and information literacy, so that they can better integrate modern information technology with physical teaching. When conditions permit, increase the investment in information technology, improve infrastructure construction, and provide necessary hardware support for public physical teaching in universities.
Differences in Nicotine Dependence and Delay Discounting between Traditional and E-cigarette Users
Authors: Wang Miao
Published: May 2024

The present study attempts to explore the differences in nicotine dependence and delay discounting between traditional cigarette and e-cigarette users. According to the Competing Neurobehavioral Decision Systems Theory, this study will also discuss the characteristics of impulsive decisions exhibited by smokers with these two different tobacco products. Study 1 used the Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test (FTND) to investigate the nicotine dependence levels of traditional and e-cigarette users respectively. Based on study 1, study 2 adopted the Delay Discounting Task (DDT) to compare the difference in delay discounting among the non-smoking group, traditional cigarette group and e-cigarette group, with unrelated variables such as demography variables (gender, age, education) and nicotine dependence level controlled. The results showed that in Study 1, e-cigarette users had significantly higher nicotine dependence than traditional cigarette users. In Study 2, the degree of delay discounting between the traditional cigarette group and the e-cigarette group was significantly higher than that of the non-smoking group, while there was no significant difference in the degree of delay discounting between the traditional cigarette group and the e-cigarette group. The current findings suggest that e-cigarettes may exacerbate smokers' nicotine dependence. Traditional cigarette and e-cigarette users exhibit similar and significantly higher levels of delay discounting than the general population, indicating that the general connection between nicotine dependence and high levels of delay discounting is not influenced by different tobacco products.

Authors: Li Ruolin
Published: May 2024

With the development of social media, it has become more and more a distinctive phenomenon for sports athletes to present themselves and spread sports culture through operating personal social media accounts. As the national sport of China, table tennis has long enjoyed widespread attention, and the athletes are also the focus of the public. In this regard, this paper selected eight Chinese table tennis athletes in different growth periods in a balanced manner according to the demographic approach. With the content and text analysis methods, the paper collects data and text from their social media accounts represented by Weibo, and analyzes the content and effects from aspects of sports communication, health communication, brand communication, social value communication and entertainment daily communication. After analyzing the current operation and exposed shortcomings of the personal social media of sports athletes represented by them, the paper puts forward three feasible suggestions: “build a good media image, convey positive energy actively,” “raise the awareness of media management, explore the possibilities of cross-border” and “enhance the ability of media operation, create differentiated personalities,” to contribute media power to the in-depth implementation of the "Healthy China" Initiative and the development of China's sports industry.
Qualitative Study on Playing-related Injury of College Student Pianists
Authors: Miao Xiaoyu
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate student pianists' playing-related musculoskeletal disorder (PRMD) from the perspective of qualitative research. This study used a transcendental phenomenological approach to collect data through one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions. Four themes emerged in these data: experiencing memories of PRMD, pianist's self-awareness, social support, and deal with injury. The findings are highly relevant regarding self-awareness, social relationships, education, and healthcare and provide educators and healthcare personnel with an experienced way to understand the PRMD of student pianists. The results show that maintaining student pianists' playing careers and coping with PRMD requires joint efforts from multiple fields, including the pianists themselves to establish good self-awareness, social relations to provide support and help, higher education institutions to provide and strengthen health education, and health care personnel to develop tailored ways to deal with injury for pianists. The study suggests that more research in the future could focus on the experiences of musicians and the group of tertiary music students. The study also hopes that this kind of research can be paid attention to and valued by music education, health education, and medical care to develop suitable PRMD intervention and treatment strategies for different types of musicians.

Internet subculture has novel forms and diverse contents, providing college students with a free space to vent their emotions, release stress, and seek recognition. It has a strong appeal to young college students and affects the formation and change of college students' values. In terms of the formation of college students' beliefs and its impact on faith education, Internet subculture has a dual aspect. It not only has a positive role in promoting the transformation of faith education in communication methods and promoting the advancement of communication content with the times, but it can also produce deconstruction and resistance to the orientation of mainstream faith values. Negative effect. In-depth disclosure of the impact of Internet subculture on college students' faith education, and then proposing corresponding countermeasures, has become an important topic in deepening and innovating the research on college students' faith education in the Internet era. We should change our thinking, change the problem perspective into the advantage perspective, and look at Internet subculture and its impact rationally. Starting from the four aspects of society, cyberspace, universities and college students themselves, we should build an educational synergy to lead the healthy development of Internet subculture, standardize its communication platform, give full play to the positive impact of Internet subculture, and weaken its negative impact. In order to deal with Internet sub-culture provide targeted countermeasures to influence the values of college students.

Authors: Lu Anping
Published: May 2024

Aesthetic education is an important content of moral education in colleges and universities. Scientific aesthetic education is an important way to improve students' humanistic accomplishment and comprehensive quality, and it is also a key link to cultivate outstanding talents. Integrating cultural self-confidence into aesthetic education in colleges and universities is conducive to giving full play to the educational function of China's excellent traditional culture, condensing the connotation of cultural education and enhancing the value function of aesthetic education. Colleges and universities should integrate and penetrate the concept of cultural self-confidence from the aspects of the construction of aesthetic education curriculum system, the organization of activities, the creation of aesthetic education atmosphere, and the evaluation mechanism of aesthetic education. Based on cultural self-confidence, colleges and universities should build a new ecology of aesthetic education for college students, balance aesthetic education and cultural education, make aesthetic education for college students deeply rooted in excellent cultural environment, strengthen their cultural self-confidence and comprehensively improve their quality level.

To determine the age of onset of weaning2. To determine the type of weaning food3. To determine the level of education and its relation to weaningMethods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at Sind Government Hospital, Paretabad, Hyderabad, duringthe period of 15th May 2008 to 15th June 2008. We had included all the patients according to the inclusion criteriaand did not do sampling. Data was collected by principal investigator herself on a pre-formed, pre – tested questionnaire about weaning practices among mothers for their infants. Respondents were mothers/care givers accompanying their infants who were interviewed in their own language to avoid inconvenience. The operationaldefinitions of variables were already set before the starting of data collection process. The study population included all new patients visiting in out patient department of Sindh Government Hospital Paretabad, Hyderabadduring the study period. The variables included the basic demographic variables i.e. age, residence, occupation,education and socio-economic status of mothers, age of onset of weaning, type of first food given as weaning,hygienic practices of mothers etc.The exclusion criteria included prematurely borne infants, those revisiting OPD, and those who visited the facilityfor acute medical problems that required hospitalization.Result: Among 307 infants aged 3-12 months registered, males were 54.1% in comparison to females (45.9%).The majority of the mothers visiting the facility belonged to slum areas (79.2%). Regarding maternal attitudesand practices of weaning, 67 (21.8%) mothers considered cow’s milk as a weaning diet while majority of them i.e.240 (78.2%) were of the opinion that semisolids were the weaning foods. About 24.8% mothers started weaningearlier and only 47.6% of them started to give weaning food to their infants between ages 3 – 6 months. A strongassociation is evident between socio- economic status of mothers and the use of commercial weaning foods(p=0.01). The study concludes that there is a dire need of promoting among mothers the norms of giving properweaning foods to their infants.

Authors: Siddique Dr. Ambreen
Published: May 2024

Background: Developmental neurotoxicity resulting from exposure to environmental chemicals is a significant public health concern. Understanding the mechanisms underlying such neurotoxicity and identifying potential biomarkers are essential for early detection and effective risk assessment. Objective: This study aimed to assess the developmental neurotoxicity of selected environmental chemicals and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Additionally, the study sought to identify potential biomarkers for early detection and monitoring of developmental neurotoxicity. Methods: In vitro neurodevelopmental models were established, including neuronal cell cultures and organoid systems, to evaluate the neurotoxic effects of environmental chemicals. Key endpoints, such as neuronal viability, morphology, neurite outgrowth, synaptogenesis, and synaptic activity, were assessed using appropriate assays and imaging techniques. Mechanistic investigations involved exploring oxidative stress, inflammation, disruption of neurotransmitter systems, and interference with neurodevelopmental processes through gene expression analysis, protein profiling, and signaling pathway investigations. Results: Exposure of the in vitro models to selected environmental chemicals resulted in significant neurotoxic effects, including impaired neuronal viability, disrupted morphological development, and altered synaptic activity. Mechanistic investigations revealed the involvement of oxidative stress and disruption of neurotransmitter systems in the observed neurotoxicity. Furthermore, several potential biomarkers, including gene expression changes and epigenetic modifications, showed significant correlations with developmental neurotoxicity. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the developmental neurotoxicity of environmental chemicals in in vitro neurodevelopmental models. The findings highlight the role of oxidative stress and neurotransmitter disruption as key mechanisms underlying neurotoxic effects. Moreover, the identification of potential biomarkers provides promising avenues for early detection and monitoring of developmental neurotoxicity. These results contribute to a better understanding of the risks associated with environmental chemical exposure during neurodevelopment and have implications for risk assessment and regulatory guidelines.

Published: May 2024

Objective: The aim of this comparative study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided caudal anesthesia compared to blind caudal anesthesia for subumbilical surgery in pediatric patients. Methods: This prospective study included pediatric patients undergoing subumbilical surgery in the Department of Pediatric Surgery. Patients were divided into two groups: the ultrasound-guided caudal anesthesia group and the blind caudal anesthesia group. Primary outcomes assessed included the success rate of block placement, onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, analgesic requirements, and perioperative complications. Results: A total of 40 patients were included in the study, with 20 patients in the ultrasound-guided group and 20 patients in the blind group. The success rate of block placement was significantly higher in the ultrasound-guided group compared to the blind group (p < 0.001). The ultrasound-guided group also demonstrated faster onset of sensory and motor blockade (p < 0.05) and longer duration of analgesia (p < 0.05) compared to the blind group. Postoperative analgesic requirements were significantly lower in the ultrasound-guided group (p < 0.001). No significant differences in perioperative complications were observed between the two groups. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided caudal anesthesia was found to be more effective and reliable than blind caudal anesthesia for subumbilical surgery in pediatric patients. It provided a higher success rate of block placement, faster onset and longer duration of sensory and motor blockade, reduced postoperative analgesic requirements, and comparable safety profile. Ultrasound guidance should be considered as the preferred technique for caudal anesthesia in this patient population.

A pesquisa objetivou analisar o potencial didático do uso de cartelas de ovos como recurso não convencional para o ensino de Cartografia em turmas de 6º ano do ensino básico, enfatizando o processo de ensino-aprendizagem no ambiente escolar. O estudo de cunho quanti-qualitativo apresentou como suporte metodológico a revisão bibliográfica acerca da temática central, bem como um relato de experiência da aplicação de atividades práticas de ensino na Escola Municipal Professora Zoraide Almeida, localizada no município de Teresina-PI. Desse modo, observou-se que o uso de cartelas de ovos como recurso não convencional proporcionou aos discentes a realização de uma análise crítica e reflexiva sobre a inserção no ensino de Cartografia escolar, assim como contribuiu para incentivar e qualificar professores ainda em processo de formação inicial, principalmente em relação à prática docente. Pondera-se neste trabalho as dificuldades de assimilação que os alunos possuem em relação ao conteúdo da Cartografia escolar. Conclui-se que a utilização de recursos não convencionais para o ensino de Cartografia é visto como uma importante estratégia didática no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia.
