Authors: Xin Bin , Yao Zhendong , Ouyang Min
Published: April 2024

We examined the chain mediating role of self-support and self-esteem in the link between family functioning and sense of school belonging among Chinese junior high school students. Students in Grades 1 to 3 ( N= 728) completed the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Scale, the Adolescent
Students' SelfSupporting Personality Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Psychological Sense of School Membership Scale. A mediating effect analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The results were as follows: (a) there were significant positive correlations among family functioning,
sense of school belonging, self-esteem, and self-support; (b) self-support mediated the effect of family functioning on sense of school belonging, and self-esteem mediated the effect of self-support on sense of school belonging; and (c) self-support and self-esteem played a significant chain
mediating role between family functioning and sense of school belonging, with the mediating effect accounting for 34.48% of the total effect. Thus, family functioning affects students' sense of school belonging both directly and also indirectly through selfsupport and self-esteem. To improve
students' sense of belonging at school, educators should focus on the functioning of students' families, and on the level of students' self-support and development of self-esteem.

Authors: Luo Yu , Liao Chun , Gu Yinhua
Published: April 2024

The talents of scientific and technological (sci-tech) innovators are crucial in maintaining the competitiveness of an organization. Based on organizational support theory, we examined the stimulation and effectiveness of sense of work gain in a survey of 459 sci-tech innovators under
three types of paternalistic leadership: authoritarian, benevolent, and moral. The results showed that authoritarian leadership was negatively related to innovators' task performance, whereas both benevolent and moral leadership were positively related to their task performance. For sense
of work gain, all three dimensions (survival, relationship, and growth gain) mediated the relationship between authoritarian leadership and task performance, and relationship gain and growth gain mediated the relationships between both benevolent and moral leadership, and task performance.
Organizational support positively moderated the relationships between the three dimensions of sense of work gain and task performance. The findings provide theoretical and practical references for improving innovators' sense of work gain and task performance.
A network meta-analysis of factors influencing malevolent creativity
Authors: Zhou Jie , Zhao Bin , Li Yongcun
Published: April 2024

We analyzed the primary factors influencing malevolent creativity as reported in existing research by gathering papers through comprehensive searches of the following databases: PubMed, Science Direct, KIC, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data. We assessed the methodological
quality using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality risk of bias assessment tool, and tested the measures' reliability through conducting a convergence analysis. The cumulative probability ranking indicated that moral disengagement, aggression, Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism,
psychopathy), and hostility were all significant factors with a ranking above 80% and, therefore, were crucial factors in inducing malevolent creativity. On the other hand, empathy, psychological resilience, conscientiousness, and age played important roles in mitigating or dissolving malevolent
creativity. Emotional intelligence, openness, agreeableness, extraversion, grade point average, and verbal aggression were unrelated to malevolent creativity.

Double-edged sword: How underdog expectations shape creativity
Authors: Xiao Zhiyang , Lai Weiwei
Published: April 2024

The underdog expectations effect is becoming more common in workplaces, but its influence on creativity has not been studied. Utilizing conservation of resources theory, we investigated the complex relationship between underdog expectations and creativity, and the mediating effects
of both perspective taking and emotional exhaustion. Results revealed that underdog expectations had both positive and negative impacts on creativity, depending on the mediators involved. The perceived value of innovation within an organization also had a moderating effect by either strengthening
or weakening these mediation effects: When innovation was highly valued, the positive effect was reinforced, while the negative effect was diminished. This research contributes to understanding of the underdog expectations effect in creativity contexts and emphasizes the role of organizational
culture in fostering innovation. The findings provide valuable insights for organizations aiming to create an innovative environment while harnessing the potential of underdog expectations.
Boredom proneness and phubbing: Fear of missing out as a mediator
Authors: Ding Hui , Si Shoujing
Published: April 2024

Our purpose was to clarify the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing behavior, and investigate what role fear of missing out (FOMO) plays in this process. We recruited 751 Chinese vocational college students aged between 18 and 23 years to participate in a questionnaire
survey. We used the PROCESS macro version 3.5 for SPSS to analyze the mediating effect, and the results suggested that boredom proneness and FOMO significantly affected phubbing behavior. FOMO played a partial mediating role in the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing, implying
that high boredom proneness increased FOMO, which, in turn, increased phubbing behavior. The two dimensions of FOMO (fear of missing information and fear of missing situations) also had a partial mediating effect on this same relationship. To our knowledge, ours is the first study to practically
investigate Chinese vocational college students' FOMO in relation to boredom proneness and phubbing behavior, which may provide useful information for intervention strategies for reducing phubbing behavior.

Authors: Wang Chuqi , Li Zhiyu
Published: April 2024

In this study we explored the effect of the discrete emotions of short-video presenters on audience engagement with climate-change videos on Chinese TikTok (Douyin). We performed an automated content analysis of 510 science communication videos, with a focus on the emotional expression
of the presenter and interactions of emotions. Our findings revealed that the negative emotion of anger dominated climate-change videos and significantly influenced audience engagement. To our surprise, the presence of the emotion of happiness in the audio led to decreased engagement. We also
uncovered the critical role of complex emotional interactions in affecting audience engagement, with combinations of positive and negative emotions being particularly influential. Furthermore, we employed facial emotion recognition and the SpeechBrain machine-learning technique for emotion
detection in the videos, a methodological approach that is innovative and ensures objective and accurate analysis, as well as offering new possibilities for research.

Executive function mediates the relationship between impulsivity and aggressive behavior in adolescents
Authors: Hu Chang Sheng , Wang Yuwei , Sun Yangxue , Gong Guangjun , Bao Lili
Published: April 2024

Using the three-dimensional model of executive function and the I3 theory of aggressive behavior, we examined the mediating roles of inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in the relationship between impulsivity and both proactive and reactive aggression in
adolescents. We recruited 1,462 middle school and high school students in Sichuan Province, who completed the Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire, the Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Teenage Executive Function Inventory, and the Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire. Results showed
that impulsivity was positively correlated with both proactive and reactive aggression, and was negatively correlated with the three subcomponents of executive function. The three-dimensional components of executive function in adolescents were negatively correlated with both proactive and
reactive aggression. Further, impulsivity directly predicted both proactive and reactive aggression. In addition, all three subcomponents of executive function in parallel mediated the relationship between impulsivity and proactive aggression. However, only inhibition mediated the relationship
between impulsivity and reactive aggression. In conclusion, improving executive function may reduce the impact of impulsivity on aggression.

Authors: Ersoy Sıddıka , Gürfidan Remzi
Published: April 2024

The global escalation of DM parallels the rise in obesity rates, with Turkey experiencing a prevalence of 13.7% for diabetes and 32% for obesity among adults. Managing diabetic patients necessitates a comprehensive approach due to the intertwined nature of diabetes and obesity, along with the heightened risk of additional chronic illnesses. Diabet nurses play a pivotal role in diabetic care, encompassing regular assessments, blood glucose monitoring, medication management, patient education. Incretin-mimetic glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor-agonists (GLP-1A) have demonstrated superiority in diabetes, weight control, positioning them as second-line treatments. Weight management remains fundamental in diabetes care, with Diabet nurses providing vital support through dietary guidance, physical activity promotion, and weight loss assistance for diabetic patients. Predicting patient responses to GLP-1A therapy is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes, streamlining decisions, averting potential complications.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising avenues for enhancing healthcare delivery. Our study aimed to forecast fasting blood sugar levels, HbA1C values, and weight loss outcomes in diabetic patients using exenatide, utilizing the random forest algorithm. Analyzing real patient data from the Western-Mediterranean, this study achieved substantial success rates of %99.9, %99.9 and %97.3 in predicting weight loss, fasting blood sugar levels, and HbA1C values, respectively.

Our findings underscore the potential of AI-driven approaches in nursing, particularly in prognostic modeling for diabetic patient management. By leveraging ML, nurses can anticipate treatment responses, streamline decision-making, and elevate patient care quality. As AI applications evolve, integrating these technologies into nursing roles promises to advance patient-centered care and optimize health outcomes.

A Minimum Phase DC-DC Converter with Continuous Input Current and High Voltage Gain
Authors: Yari Keyvan , Hasanpour Sara
Published: April 2024

Summary: This paper presents a minimum phase high step-up DC-DC
converter. In addition to the common ground sharing between the input
and output ports, the converter draws a low ripple current from the
input source, prolonging the input source’s life cycle. Moreover,
eliminating the right half plane zero from the control to output
transfer function enables the converter to provide fast dynamic
responses. Theoretical analysis, including the principle of operation,
the mathematical calculation for steady-state operation, and
small-signal modelling derivation, are clarified in detail. At last, to
verify these analyses and mentioned features of the proposed converter,
a 25-100V laboratory prototype has been implemented, and the main
experimental results have also been outlined.
Uncertain optimal control problem of production and inventory under time-varying customer demand
Authors: Jin Ting , Li Zixuan , Ye Tingqing , Song Yifu , Xiao Shijun
Published: April 2024

In the dynamic landscape of global trade and logistics, the optimization
of inventory control has risen as a crucial topic of academic discourse.
Acknowledging that inventory management functions as the intersection of
production and sales, these domains often manifest significant
uncertainty, which consequently poses formidable challenges to the
inventory management optimization. This paper leverages uncertainty
theory in a novel approach to articulate the optimal production strategy
for navigating time-varying demand with inherent fluctuations. And the
inventory state equation, characterized by fluctuations, is proposed as
a constraint condition. By factoring in the residual value of terminal
inventory, a production inventory model catering to time-varying demand
is devised, and the optimal production strategy is ascertained.
Simultaneously, solutions along the α- Path are introduced to
procure more intuitive numerical results. Finally, a case study of
Chinese clothing sales was harnedded to substantiate the reliability of
the model conclusion. This research amplifies the application of
uncertainty theory to the optimization of production strategies,
offering a novel perspective on inventory control in the ambit of
uncertain factors. It provides a theoretical paradigm for companies with
uncertain customer needs to orchestrate production, thereby bolstering
the operational efficiency and profitability of the company.
Financial autonomy of facilities providing primary health care services in low and middle income countries: assessing the evidence to inform the development of a typology and conceptual framework
Authors: Witter Sophie , Bertone Maria Paola , Sempé Lucas , Baglione Quentin , Barroy Helene , Hsu Justine , Mathauer Inke
Published: April 2024

Provider autonomy is increasingly asserted as an important attribute in
health systems, but is rarely interrogated in-depth, particularly at
primary care level. This article examines the current state of evidence
on the role of financial autonomy in primary care, focusing on the
public sector in low and middle income settings (LMICs). It draws from a
scoping review of the literature (91 documents), 12 expert interviews
and the knowledge of the research team. Findings were also discussed
with health financing and public financial management experts at a
meeting in 2023 to deepen the reflections. In the article, we discuss
definitions of financial autonomy and the reforms which have been
associated with triggering or at least raising the profile of financial
autonomy as an important attribute. We highlight the picture on current
patterns of autonomy at primary level across countries. While financial
autonomy is prima facie a positive attribute, the understanding of
autonomy over what, for which purposes and by whom is still not clearly
addressed in the literature, along with the implications for purchasing
and public financial management (which is key to enable financial
autonomy, as well as being affected by it). This paper moves the field
forward by developing a typology of levels and features of financial
autonomy, structured by the budget cycle and a conceptual framework. The
framework highlights key considerations in terms of contextual
influencers of financial autonomy, prerequisites for it to be deployed,
and the potential positive and negative effects of financial autonomy at
primary care level.
Decoding the Hysteretic Behavior of Hydraulic Variables in Lowland Rivers with Multivariate Monitoring Approaches
Authors: Kim K. , Muste Marian , Kim Dongsu , Fleit G.
Published: April 2024

This paper demonstrates that the multivariate monitoring methods are
capable to underpin the systematic investigation of the hysteretic
behavior occurring during gradually-varied flows. For this purpose, we
present simultaneous measurements of stage, index velocity, and
free-surface slope acquired continuously with high-frequency sampling
instruments deployed at several river gauging sites exposed to a range
of storm magnitudes. The experimental evidence reveals intrinsic
features of unsteady open-channel flow mechanics that are hinted by
pertinent governing equations but rarely substantiated with in-situ
measurements. The illustrations are intentionally made for fluvial waves
propagating at sites located in lowland areas where the relationships
among flow variables are most likely displaying hysteretic loops and
phasing in the hydraulic variable progression. The set of presented
measurements highlights that: a) the hysteretic behavior is apparent in
both time-independent and time-dependent graphical representations of
any two of the hydraulic variables; b) the severity of the hysteresis is
commensurate with the geomorphic, hydraulic, and hydrological
characteristics of the measurement site; and c) there is a pressing need
for changing the flow paradigms currently used in tracking flow
variables during gradually-varied flows. Also discussed are research
needs associated with flow hysteresis for advancing the understanding of
the mechanisms underlying the movement and storage of water in the
lowland river environments as well as for increasing the accuracy of
streamflow monitoring, modeling, and forecasting.

The data was collected through questionnaires and analysis with SEM-PLS. The research results show that service quality has a positive and significant effect on usage, p-value of 0.029 but not for the system quality and information quality. System quality, information quality, and service quality have a significant effect on user satisfaction, p-values respectively, of 0.004, 0.038, and 0.003. Apart from that, system usage also has a significant influence on user satisfaction, p-value of 0.000. By identifying the usage and factors that influence user satisfaction, e-learning providers can focus their attention on improving specific aspects of the user experience and enhancing the overall learning process.

Technology is an effective teaching method among educators because it is easier and faster to implement. Switching to traditional methods is very appropriate to apply in the current era of digital technology. The inclusion of multimedia elements into Digital storytelling (PD) has provided innovation in the learning process with the support of mobile technology interaction features. However, using interaction features and multimedia elements such as text and images to create storytelling is still difficult for students and teachers. Meanwhile, elements for evaluating storytelling with technology are still lacking. Research is urgent because of differences in expectations, theory, and reality. The research aims to analyze the reliability of multimedia elements on tablets and digital story evaluation and to determine the correlation of multimedia elements on tablets and digital story evaluation. The research method is a quantitative survey approach. The subjects were students, pupils, teachers, and lecturers totaling 41 people. Data collection techniques with instruments were developed from multimedia indicators, digital stories, and tablets. Instruments were assessed based on a Likert scale from 1-7 points. Analysis techniques were using SPSS Version 25.0 with validation tests, mean, standard deviation, and minimum and correlation values. Research findings show that multimedia, digital stories, and tablet use have high reliability and correlation as well as a positive and significant relationship between all variables in the evaluation. Respondents also assessed multimedia elements in digital stories and tablets. The findings confirm that multimedia elements are at level 5 and can be used in an effective learning process.

The use of interactive media in vocational schools is extremely important for improving learning effectiveness. In today's digital era, interactive media can inspire students, improve understanding, and provide them with technology-driven skills that are relevant for the future. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the potential and opportunities for creating an interactive multimedia platform called Virtual Lab (V-Lab) for archival learning in vocational schools. This research used a mixed method approach, with a sample size of 2 teachers and 103 students. The data collected includes both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data was gathered through observation and interviews, using observation sheets and interview guidelines as tools. Quantitative data was collected through non-test techniques, specifically questionnaires, followed by data analysis using questionnaires as tools. The research data analyzed descriptively through interactive analysis, which involves data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this research showed that teachers mainly used ICT-based media, such as presentation slides, YouTube, and the internet during the learning process. Additionally, a large majority of students expressed their agreement towards the development of Virtual Lab-based interactive multimedia, as it enhanced their practical learning experiences. This initiative and desire must be realized in order to promote innovative and dynamic learning implementation. The outcomes of this research could serve as a basis for the development of learning innovations, particularly in terms of interactive learning media that incorporate digital elements, which could be accessed through smartphones and support learning activities in vocational schools.
