Authors: Naghsh Behrooz , Eskandari Mohammad 
Published: September 2024

This research aimed to construct, validate and normalize a measuring scale of competency evaluative indicators based on the screening of psychological and personality fundamental scales with the Third Edition of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-3). Present study aimed that competency indicators can be measured with a validate instrument named MMPI-3. We assessed the validity of this new measure applied to 3000 participating from Iran. We obtained evidence for (a) content validity (through item analysis), (b) internal structure with Mokken Scaling Analysis and structural equation modeling to examine the item–construct relationship, differential item functioning, and reliability, and (c) association with external variables. The items were found to function one-dimensionally, with strong item–construct relationships and no differential functioning. Theoretically consistent associations were found between scales of MMPI-3 and constructed Indicators by researchers. The findings of the present study shown that (a) we can assess competency indicators as second layer of MMPI-3 profile, (b) there’s a strong correlation among competency indicators and MMPI-3 scales as reverse layer and (c) constructed indicators by researchers are validate and reliable to assess competency indicators for evaluating and screening psychological and personality features

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Virtual Oral Tutoring APPs on Chinese Youth’s Anxiety in Oral English learning——Interview Research Based on Users of Artificial Intelligence Speaking Tutoring APPs
Authors: Zhang Man 
Published: September 2024

Foreign language learning anxiety is a topic that has long been scrutinized, and the anxiety present in foreign language learning has been studied to guide foreign language teaching as well as the setting of foreign language education scenarios. Today we have entered an artificial intelligence era, with the release of ChatGPT and the wide application of Big Language Modeling AI technology, in which a wide variety of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) oral tutoring APPs have emerged. Due to the relatively short development time of the technology of Great Language Modeling, the foreign language training model for AI foreign language oral coaches built on the basis of this technology is still in the preliminary development stage, and there is less research on the improvement of foreign language learning sentiments brought about by GAI.What is the foreign language learning method provided by AI coaches helpful for foreign language learning? Does it alleviate foreign language learning anxiety? It has become a topic worthy of research.
This study adopts the research method of semi-structured interviews to interview 20 Chinese college students and analyze the data text of the interviews. This study is based on the control value theory for questionnaire design and research, and in terms of control factors, it is found that using GAI Oral Coach to learn a foreign language is more controllable, and it can alleviate the learners' anxiety in many aspects of foreign language communication and exchange, such as: communicative anxiety, situational anxiety, oral anxiety, listening anxiety, and cognitive anxiety. In terms of value factors, due to the prerequisites of the control factors, the use of GAI oral coaching helped learners to significantly increase their sense of self-efficacy and emotional comfort, be more likely to feel a mood of accomplishment, and students to give high expectations in terms of future performance improvement. The role of emotional accompaniment and support found in this study was unanticipated before the study, and GAI oral coaches, in addition to helping to alleviate anxiety, can also provide positive emotional value through caring, companionship, and communication. Of course, there are two sides to everything, especially at the stage when GAI is just emerging, and there are still many imperfections to be explored, such as ethics, cognitive-emotional, and value bias. The findings in this paper help to understand how AI technology helps foreign language learning sentiments, and provide support for subsequent related research on AI accompanying foreign language learning.

Authors: Zhang Zhe , Chen Huijun 
Published: September 2024

With the development of humanism, positive psychology and other related theories and practices, foreign language enjoyment and self-efficacy have also received more and more attention and research. Through literature review, the research on foreign language enjoyment is limited in China, and the research on English majors is even more limited. Therefore, this study chooses English major postgraduates as the special research object, aiming at putting forward useful suggestions for promoting students' academic and professional development.
An Etymological and Controversial Examination of Sun Wukong in <i>Journey to the West</i>
Authors: Liu Jiaxin 
Published: September 2024

Since the debate between Lu Xun's "indigenous theory" and Hu Shi's "exotic theory" on the origin of the image of Sun Wukong, there has been nearly a hundred years of academic discussion. Scholars from various schools have conducted a large number of beneficial studies and reached well-founded conclusions. However, due to the unique nature of Journey to the West as a work that has been accumulated across generations and carries a distinct historical sediment, the controversy surrounding it has always been at an impasse, with no consensus reached. Based on previous studies, this paper will provide an overview of the mainstream theories within the academic community. It will then conduct etymological and dialectical analysis of the character of Sun Wukong from the perspective of the "indigenous theory", thus demonstrating the high plausibility of the indigenous viewpoint.
A Study on the Relationship Between Parents' Expectations and Junior Middle School Students' Academic Test Scores -- Taking English as an Example
Authors: Li Yalin 
Published: September 2024

In the currently prevalent “rat race” phenomenon, which is particularly acute in the field of education. When it comes to discussing the factors underlying the changes in middle school students' English academic achievements, numerous researchers have put forward their viewpoints from different perspectives. This paper summarizes four crucial dimensions that impact middle school students' English achievements and conducts a six-week teaching experiment based on these dimensions. Through the analysis of questionnaire surveys, interviews, and experimental comparisons, it is discovered that the factors influencing students' English achievements, ranked in order of importance from high to low, are: family rearing style, communication and emotional support between parents and children, parents' expectations, and family culture and values. However, while parental expectations have a direct and positive impact on adolescent children, they rank third among the major factors and have a relatively low impact. On the other hand, in the context of family rearing methods that are not suitable for children's development at this stage and incorrect family communication and emotional support, parents' expectations have indirect negative effects.

Background
The pandemic exacerbated burnout experienced by healthcare personnel, whose mental health had long been a public health concern before COVID-19. This study used the Copenhagen burnout inventory (CBI) tool to assess burnout and identify predictors among Indian healthcare workers managing COVID-19.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to December 2022, after the third pandemic wave. A web-based, fillable Google form was used to recruit COVID-19 management professionals from multiple Jaipur district hospitals. Healthcare professionals provided socio-demographic, work-related, and CBI scores. Multiple linear regression was used to control for model covariant independent variables.

Results
We evaluated the responses of a total of 578 participants with a mean age of 36.59 ± 9.1 years. Based on the CBI cut-off score of 50, 68.1% reported burnout. A total of 67.5%, 56.4%, and 48.6% of healthcare workers reported work-related, personal, and patient-related burnout, respectively. High burnout scores were significantly associated with the nursing profession (β = 7.89, 95% CI; 3.66, 12.11, p < 0.0001). The p-value indicates the probability of observing the data if the null hypothesis is true, and the confidence interval shows the range within which we can be 95% confident that the true effect lies. An independent relationship exists between male gender and higher personal-related burnout scores (β = 4.45, 95% CI 1.9–6.9).

Conclusion
This study identified key indicators that need further emphasis and the need for organizational and individual-level burnout monitoring in healthcare delivery sectors. Health workers continue to experience burnout due to a combination of personal, professional, and patient-related factors. This underscores the need for targeted organizational and individual interventions. The findings also suggest that the CBI tool could identify healthcare worker burnout risk groups.
Martian high‐altitude photoelectrons independent of solar zenith angle

Published: April 2016

AbstractMany aspects of the Martian upper atmosphere are known to vary with solar zenith angle (SZA). One would assume that dayside photoelectron fluxes are also SZA dependent, especially when transport along a semivertical magnetic field line is significant. However, our investigation presented here of the observed Martian high‐altitude (∼400 km) photoelectron fluxes by the magnetometer/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) instruments on board Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) shows that the photoelectron fluxes are better correlated with just the solar irradiance, without SZA factored in, and also that the median photoelectron fluxes are independent of SZA, especially for high energies (above 100 eV). For lower energies (below 70 eV), the observed fluxes tend to vary to some degree with SZA. Such counterintuitive results are due to the existence of a photoelectron exobase, only above which the photoelectrons are able to transport and escape to high altitudes. Two methods are used here to determine the altitude range of this exobase, which varies between 145 km and 165 km depending on the atmosphere and SZA. Through our SuperThermal Electron Transport (STET) model, we found that the integral of the production rate above the photoelectron exobase, and therefore the high‐altitude photoelectron fluxes, is rather independent of SZA. Such an independent relationship concerns energy redistribution in the Martian upper atmosphere, using photoelectrons to map magnetic topology and connectivity, as well as ion escape. This finding can also be carefully adapted to other solar bodies with semivertical magnetic fields at ionospheric altitudes, such as Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Published: April 2016

AbstractThis paper presents results from a simulation study exploring heliospheric consequences of time‐dependent changes at the Sun. We selected a 2 month period in the beginning of year 2008 that was characterized by very low solar activity. The heliosphere in the equatorial region was dominated by two coronal holes whose changing structure created temporal variations distorting the classical steady state picture of the heliosphere. We used the Air Force Data Assimilate Photospheric Flux Transport (ADAPT) model to obtain daily updated photospheric magnetograms and drive the Wang‐Sheeley‐Arge (WSA) model of the corona. This leads to a formulation of a time‐dependent boundary condition for our three‐dimensional (3‐D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, LFM‐helio, which is the heliospheric adaptation of the Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry MHD simulation code. The time‐dependent coronal conditions were propagated throughout the inner heliosphere, and the simulation results were compared with the spacecraft located near 1 astronomical unit (AU) heliocentric distance: Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO‐A and STEREO‐B), and the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft that was in cruise phase measuring the heliospheric magnetic field between 0.35 and 0.6 AU. In addition, during the selected interval MESSENGER and ACE aligned radially allowing minimization of the effects of temporal variation at the Sun versus radial evolution of structures. Our simulations show that time‐dependent simulationsreproduce the gross‐scale structure of the heliosphere with higher fidelity, while on smaller spatial and faster time scales (e.g., 1 day) they provide important insights for interpretation of the data. The simulations suggest that moving boundaries of slow‐fast wind transitions at 0.1 AU may result in the formation of inverted magnetic fields near pseudostreamers which is an intrinsically time‐dependent process. Finally, we show that heliospheric current sheet corrugation, which may result in multiple sector boundary crossings when observed by spacecraft, is caused by solar wind velocity shears. Overall, our simulations demonstrate that time‐dependent heliosphere modeling is a promising direction of research both for space weather applications and fundamental physics of the heliosphere.
M ≥ 7 earthquake rupture forecast and time‐dependent probability for the sea of Marmara region, Turkey

Published: April 2016

AbstractWe forecast time‐independent and time‐dependent earthquake ruptures in the Marmara region of Turkey for the next 30 years using a new fault segmentation model. We also augment time‐dependent Brownian passage time (BPT) probability with static Coulomb stress changes (ΔCFF) from interacting faults. We calculateMw > 6.5 probability from 26 individual fault sources in the Marmara region. We also consider a multisegment rupture model that allows higher‐magnitude ruptures over some segments of the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone beneath the Marmara Sea. A total of 10 differentMw = 7.0 toMw = 8.0 multisegment ruptures are combined with the other regional faults at rates that balance the overall moment accumulation. We use Gaussian random distributions to treat parameter uncertainties (e.g., aperiodicity, maximum expected magnitude, slip rate, and consequently mean recurrence time) of the statistical distributions associated with each fault source. We then estimate uncertainties of the 30 year probability values for the next characteristic event obtained from three different models (Poisson, BPT, and BPT + ΔCFF) using a Monte Carlo procedure. The Gerede fault segment located at the eastern end of the Marmara region shows the highest 30 year probability, with a Poisson value of 29% and a time‐dependent interaction probability of 48%. We find an aggregated 30 year Poisson probability ofM > 7.3 earthquakes at Istanbul of 35%, which increases to 47% if time dependence and stress transfer are considered. We calculate a twofold probability gain (ratio time dependent to time independent) on the southern strands of the North Anatolian Fault Zone.

AbstractThe radiative and microphysical effects of aerosols can affect the development of convective clouds. The objective of this study is to reveal if the overall aerosol effects have any discernible impact on the diurnal variations in precipitation and lightning by means of both observational analysis and modeling. As the first part of two companion studies, this paper is concerned with analyzing hourly PM10, precipitation, and lightning data collected during the summers of 2008–2012 in the Pearl River Delta region. Daily PM10 data were categorized as clean, medium, or polluted so that any differences in the diurnal variations in precipitation and lightning could be examined. Heavy precipitation and lightning were found to occur more frequently later in the day under polluted conditions than under clean conditions. Analyses of the diurnal variations in several meteorological factors such as air temperature, vertical velocity, and wind speed were also performed. They suggest that the influence of aerosol radiative and microphysical effects serve to suppress and enhance convective activities, respectively. Under heavy pollution conditions, the reduction in solar radiation reaching the surface delays the occurrence of strong convection and postpones heavy precipitation to late in the day when the aerosol invigoration effect more likely comes into play. Although the effect of aerosol particles can be discernible on the heavy precipitation through the daytime, the influence of concurrent atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics cannot be ruled out.

AbstractSatellite instruments show a cooling of global stratospheric temperatures over the whole data record (1979–2014). This cooling is not linear and includes two descending steps in the early 1980s and mid‐1990s. The 1979–1995 period is characterized by increasing concentrations of ozone‐depleting substances (ODSs) and by the two major volcanic eruptions of El Chichón (1982) and Mount Pinatubo (1991). The 1995–present period is characterized by decreasing ODS concentrations and by the absence of major volcanic eruptions. Greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations increase over the whole time period. In order to isolate the roles of different forcing agents in the global stratospheric temperature changes, we performed a set of simulations using the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Chemistry‐Climate Model with prescribed sea surface temperatures. We find that in our model simulations the cooling of the stratosphere from 1979 to present is mostly driven by changes in GHG concentrations in the middle and upper stratosphere and by GHG and ODS changes in the lower stratosphere. While the cooling trend caused by increasing GHGs is roughly constant over the satellite era, changing ODS concentrations cause a significant stratospheric cooling only up to the mid‐1990s, when they start to decrease because of the implementation of the Montreal Protocol. Sporadic volcanic events and the solar cycle have a distinct signature in the time series of stratospheric temperature anomalies but do not play a statistically significant role in the long‐term trends from 1979 to 2014. Several factors combine to produce the step‐like behavior in the stratospheric temperatures: in the lower stratosphere, the flattening starting in the mid‐1990s is due to the decrease in ozone‐depleting substances; Mount Pinatubo and the solar cycle cause the abrupt steps through the aerosol‐associated warming and the volcanically induced ozone depletion. In the middle and upper stratosphere, changes in solar irradiance are largely responsible for the step‐like behavior of global temperature anomalies, together with volcanically induced ozone depletion and water vapor increases in the post‐Pinatubo years.
Impact of urbanization patterns on the local climate of a tropical city, Singapore: An ensemble study

Published: April 2016

AbstractThe effect of urbanization and urbanization pattern on the thermal environment and local rainfall is investigated in the tropical coastal city, Singapore. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is employed with 5 one‐way nested domains and the highest horizontal resolution is 300 m. The urban effect is taken into account by a single‐layer urban canopy model. Several scenarios with idealized urbanization patterns are designed and simulated for an ensemble of 28 members. In the asymmetric urbanization scenarios, in which either the southern or northern part of Singapore is urbanized while the other part is forest, the magnitude of urban heat island (UHI) intensity is higher than that in the symmetric urbanization scenario, in which the urban and forest land use is homogeneously distributed in Singapore. The anthropogenic heat (AH) associated with the urban areas will exacerbate the UHI intensity. Most of the rainfall in the examined cases occurs from late morning to afternoon when the sea breeze blows northeastward. The results suggest that sea breezes have stronger influence on the rainfall than the urbanization pattern since the downwind part always gets more rainfall than the upwind part. The urbanization and associated AH can have two opposite effects on the rainfall amount: increasing rainfall through increasing buoyancy by AH and decreasing rainfall through reducing evaporation by converting greenery to impervious surfaces. The ultimate effect is dependent on the relative strength of these two influences.
